A kind of god beast in China is as famous as or even more powerful than Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Candle dragon, Gluttony and Kunpeng. Contrary to dragons, the simpler the color of Kirin, the more powerful it is. Tricolor Kirin basically has the strength that all immortals have a headache, and bicolor Kirin is even more powerful. Monochrome unicorn, in legend, only appeared once. The appearance of monochromatic unicorn should have been a good thing. After all, this is because Kirin is very kind and gets along well with most creatures. And they are very compassionate and often bring a lot of benefits to everyone. Basically, no creature will hate Kirin. However, black is an unlucky color, which generally symbolizes death, disease and decline. So when this unicorn Jackie Chan was born, it was criticized.

And when he was six months old, he found that his paws had grown outside the meat. Other Kirin's claws can be retracted like cat's claws, but his claws are too sharp and too long to be retracted. At that time, everyone panicked and thought it was a sign of bad luck. Later, some immortals proposed to kill the black unicorn, but some immortals opposed it and the two sides were deadlocked. Finally, I decided to leave him to guard the eighteen layers of hell. In fact, there are only seventeen floors in hell, and the eighteenth and seventeenth floors are not connected. The 18 layer is a one-way space, which can only enter but not exit. No matter who goes in, you can't figure it out.
