From the end of the world

Chapter 381 Kirin
Yuchi and I moved to the cafeteria of the sanatorium.

It was still some time before dinner, so there were few people in the cafeteria, only a few people sitting here and there, eating snacks as if to kill time. We found a seat near the corner, and Yuchi sat opposite me.

He placed his hands on the table, his eyes lowered, as if there were invisible, messy documents waiting for him to sort out.

After a while, he finally seemed to have found the first page of the manuscript, and then he slowly said, "...You should have heard some rumors about me, right?"

"I heard that you are Bai Wuchang who is extremely proficient in formations, and also the most famous master in Luoshan. Other than that, I am not very clear." I said.

"That's where the explanation should start." Yuchi said, "Then, I guess you must have wondered before - why am I the most famous Dacheng level in Luoshan?"

I admit: "The mainstream of Luoshan is to worship power, especially the power on the front battlefield, but the most famous Dacheng rank is a person who is good at rear support... This matter really confuses me."

"The reason is actually very simple." Yuchi said, "My wife is the Great Impermanence."

"what?"

Hearing this, I reflexively searched the existing eight Luoshan Great Impermanence in my mind. So far, all the Luoshan Great Impermanence I have seen are male, and the ones I have not seen are Old Fist God, Willow Shadow, and Wheel King, and the first two are clearly male.

As for the Chakravartin… Speaking of which, the Chakravartin is a great impermanence whose existence is doubted. Although the information uses "he" as the third person, the word "he" is sometimes used in a general sense regardless of gender. Could it be that the Chakravartin is actually…

At this time, Yuchi added: "By the way, I hope you don't get the misunderstanding that my wife is a woman."

I almost didn't react, and then said, "...No, my thinking hasn't slipped to that stage yet."

It seems that in Yuchi's consciousness, the Chakravartin is also a male.

"So...which Great Impermanence is she?" I asked.

"My wife...'Qilin' was a great impermanence in Luoshan's past. You may not have heard of her name because she has been dead for many years." Yuchi said.

Except for the special case of life turbidity, there is no saying that the Great Impermanence died of old age. All the Great Impermanence who died, you can guess with your eyes closed that they died suddenly.

Combined with Yuchi's mysterious murderous intent towards the old boxing god, I immediately guessed the most likely answer.

"Yes, Qilin died at the hands of the old Fist God." Yuchi said in a deep voice.
-
Yuchi first explained to me how he met and fell in love with Qilin.

Just like Zhu Shi, Yuchi was also born into a demon hunter family. Most demon hunters had similar backgrounds, but Yuchi was different in that the demon hunter family he came from followed the path of magic.

In order to ensure that all descendants of the family have above-average demon-hunting talent, the Yuchi family chose the path of combining with demons, strengthening the bloodline of their descendants by mixing in powerful demon blood.

Although this approach deviates from the mainstream, the idea itself is not difficult to understand.

Compared to monsters, humans are naturally weak. Only a few talented people can master the power of hunting monsters, and it takes a long time of training to be able to do it on their own. Humans with monster blood may have the advantages of both. The reason why Mr. Zhu once designated Chang'an as the heir of the family's hunting magic was partly because Chang'an was born with the blood and power of monsters, which made him very suitable to debut as a monster hunter.

However, mixing with monster blood also has its disadvantages. Not to mention that the offspring may become aliens that are not on the same channel as humans in terms of perception and thinking, they may also simply inherit the disadvantages of both sides. Furthermore, mixing between different creatures is very difficult to achieve. Even if it succeeds, it is easy for the offspring to die young, and the birth rate of the offspring is also extremely low.

In order to increase the birth rate of the offspring and improve their talents, the Yuchi family forced many women with demon hunting talents to breed with demons. The specific details will not be described, and Yuchi only touched on this briefly.

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. It is normal for a large demon hunting family to have one or two heretics. Although Yuchi was born in the Yuchi clan, he could not accept the actions of his family since he was a child, and thought that he would escape from such a place one day.

One day, he accidentally met a girl from a remote branch family. How remote was that family? Intuitively speaking, that family actually had nothing to do with the traditions of the Yuchi family. When the Yuchi family forced the women in the family to mate with monsters, they might not have thought of them.

The two were in their youth at the time and had a good impression of each other. After a period of friction and in-depth understanding, they became inseparable lovers.

But the good times didn't last long. The Yuchi clan later discovered that the girl had a very strong talent for hunting demons, and the clan immediately started to think of something wrong. A normal demon hunting family might think of training her as a family demon hunter, but the clan wanted to use her to improve the family bloodline, so they captured the girl and intended to breed her with the powerful demons sealed in the family prison.

When Yuchi learned about this, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He rushed into the clan's territory frantically, wanting to do everything he could to save the girl from the branch family, even if it meant risking his own life... However, he was one step too late.

Because the girl from the branch family was rescued by someone first.

This person was the old boxing god who happened to be passing by Yuchi’s house at that time.

On his way to becoming a great master, the old fist god had challenged countless demon hunters and strange creatures, and had made countless enemies in the process. The Yuchi family was one of them. At that time, the old fist god had just reached the great success level, and he probably wanted to find someone to try his hand at, so he went to the Yuchi family, who had an old grudge against him, and destroyed the entire Yuchi family in one go.

The powerful talent of the girl from the branch family caught the attention of the old boxing god, who took her in as one of his disciples and renamed her "Qilin".

Yuchi also intended to become the disciple of the old fist god, and the old fist god accepted him as a disciple. Unfortunately, unlike Qilin, a genius in hunting monsters, Yuchi did not have the talent to be active on the battlefield, and gradually he could not communicate with Qilin.

Later, he was discovered to have a talent for formations, so he left the Old Fist God's school, joined Luo Shan, and grew up as Bai Wuchang.

"While I was studying hard, Qilin was also learning and training with the old fist god, and became stronger and stronger as the Black Impermanence. The speed at which she advanced to the great success level was rare in Luoshan's history. Later, she even became the Great Impermanence..." Yuchi recalled, "But... she has changed.

"After becoming the disciple of the old boxing god, she became violent and evil, using any means to become stronger. She would beat and kill anyone who got in her way, regardless of whether they were good or evil, old or young. She was once called a witch.

"Although there was no concept of hegemony or transcendence at that time, the views of the demon hunter community on ordinary people could be divided into two camps. Looking back now, I was also a hegemonist at that time, and Qilin was simply a transcendentalist among the transcendentalists. She despised the weak and regarded weakness as a sin. While eliminating strange events, she carelessly involved ordinary people around her."

I recalled the life-and-death conflict between me and Zhu Shi in Yin Yue’s “world of possibilities”.

The me in the "World of Possibility" ended up breaking up with Zhu Shi because I carelessly got involved with ordinary people around me time and time again, and it even came to the point where I had to fight to the death with him.

"She wasn't like this in the past... She was clumsy, but gentle and kind, definitely not such a violent and evil person." Yuchi said painfully, "It's all my fault.

"If it hadn't been related to me, her talent wouldn't have been exposed to the Zong family, and she wouldn't have been abducted by the Zong family...

"It must be because that horrific experience changed her personality and forced her to become a violent maniac."

Memories from one's youth often become a lifelong mark. In the world of ordinary people, the memories of the first ten years are enough to determine the soul of the next few decades. Even if one has achieved great success, it is difficult to forget the trauma of childhood, because it has become the foundation of one's personality.

Perhaps even the great impermanence cannot change this.

"Others have the right to condemn her evil, but I don't." Yuchi said, "It was me who brought darkness to her fate, and I was unable to save her from hell myself. This is a sin that I can never atone for...

"But even so... I hope she can regain her bright heart."

He said that after that, he had been trying to communicate with Qilin.

At that time, Yuchi was regarded as a rising star of the righteous path in Luoshan, while Qilin, despite her extraordinary strength, was a crazy witch that even her own people could not stand. There were frequent conflicts and confrontations between the two. However, after encountering each other again and again, they once again rubbed out the spark of love and quickly fell in love.

After they got married, Qilin became the Great Impermanence as if his soul had sublimated. While Yuchi loved her deeply, he still had the idea of ​​persuading Qilin to return to the right path.

On the other hand, the old boxing god at that time was not as powerful as he is today, to the point where people doubt whether he has opened the third door. Many people thought that the old boxing god's road to becoming stronger had ended here. Maybe Qilin would be better than his master and become strong enough to surpass the old boxing god.

After Qilin became the Great Impermanence, one day, the Old Fist God came to where Qilin lived.

According to the historical records of Luoshan headquarters, a fluctuation of magic power erupted there that day as a reaction to a fierce conflict between the Old Fist God and Qilin.

When Yuchi arrived late, Qilin had already been killed by the old boxing god's fist.
