January 2015, Earth time, Runeterra. The northern part of the province of Zhiyun in Ionia.

According to Taliya, this mountain range, which runs through the north and south of Zhiyun Province, is the southern part of the Ionian Central Mountains.

The so-called Central Mountain Range is on the map of Ionia, the two mountains are in a straight line, dividing the entire Ionian Islands into two parts, east and west, hence the name Central Mountains.

This day was already the 23rd day after Xiao Yuebai and the three of them left Laiken, and under the leadership of Taliya, they set off from Laiken all the way north.

After visiting the dilapidated Snake Knife Temple, we reached the hillside of Ciyunia, and then headed north again to cross the strait into the province of Barou'e, a journey of more than 20 days to the northernmost point of the southern foothills of the Central Mountains.

However, they did not immediately cross the strait to the province of Barouo, but instead went the opposite way, climbing the main peak at the southern foot of the mountain range.

Because there, there is a vortex rock that can prove that the Ionian nature spirit does exist, and it is also the most famous vortex rock in Zhiyun Province.

Although the land under our feet has been invaded by war, it is undeniable that with the help of the spirit of nature, this archipelago country isolated to the east of the Runeterrae Land is rapidly recovering its former natural environment.

The young buds of colorful magical plants are all over this mountain forest, or emerald green, or pink, or deep purple, or rainbow-colored plants mixed with various colors, are quietly absorbing the original magic in the air, glowing with a faint bright halo.

And the weasel-like cubs with wings on all fours will hold on to the rocks protruding under their feet and look at them curiously when Xiao Yuebai and the others are passing through the dangerous slopes of the mountains and forests.

It's just that Xiao Yuebai can see clearly, these cute and beautiful creatures, when they are looking at themselves, there is a lingering vigilance in their eyes.

The butcher's knife of the Noxians has finally changed this once harmonious and happy land.

As the trio climbed to the top of the mountain, the mountain became more and more steep, and the magical plants around it became more and more dense.

The emerald green foliage of the trees seemed to obscure the sky above the heads of several people, and although the light around them was very dim, the three of them could see the surrounding scene clearly.

Because the tree seeds hanging from these small branches are emitting a glowing blue halo, in this dark forest, gracefully illuminating the mountain path under the feet of the three of them like a starry sky.

After passing through the dense forest, the vision suddenly became clear, and the target that everyone on the top of the mountain wanted to admire also appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.

I saw a few curved rocks floating quietly in the sky at the top of the mountain, and they were integrated with the shelves outside, like a whirlpool, flying along with the white clouds and mist between the mountains, and were spinning on their own.

"I've always heard my teachers talk about it, but I've never seen it! I finally saw it today! Hee-hee-hee! Taliya looked at the scenery in front of her, her eyes glowing softly, and she said softly.

The gale at the top of the mountain stirred the forest behind Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha, making a "rustling" sound between the collision of leaves, and the couple couldn't help but hold each other's hands tightly as they looked at them.

Taliyah had now come to the bottom of the whirlpool rock, and pointed to the quietly swirling rock above his head:

"The Ionians believed in the spirit of nature, and they believed that the soul of all life in this land was a small part split from the spirit of nature."

"And the process of life begins with leaving the spirit of nature and becoming an individual, independent life, and then until death, the soul will return to the embrace of the spirit of nature."

"So the Ionians divided the world into three forms, the first is the material world, which is the world we live in."

The second is the spiritual world, which refers to the world that people will pass through on the way back to the spirit of nature after death. The Ionians believed that there was the most straightforward truth about the material world in that world. ”

"The third is the world of spirits of nature, in which the Ionians believe that all souls are one, and that there are no barriers between humans in that world, and that they only need to know each other's thoughts with a single thought."

"From birth to death, to the soul world, and finally from the soul world to the earthly world, the three worlds are constantly reincarnated, just like this whirlpool rock."

Because Xiao Yuebai was a fan who wrote "League of Legends Universe" before coming to the MCU world, he is very familiar with the concepts and legends of Ionia.

It is undeniable that Ionia's view of the world was undoubtedly perfect, and the idea of harmony and balance between the material and the spiritual.

In some ways, it is quite similar to Huang Lao's Taoist concept of moderation.

But this is the way the world is, any idea has to change over time, learn to keep up with the times.

But it is clear that the leaders of the land did not realize this before the outbreak of war, so it was not until the Noxians swung their butcher's knives at their own people that they realized that the old ideas were not suitable for the current world.

Looking at the whirlpool rock in front of him, Xiao Yuebai couldn't help but think of the country he lived in before he crossed over.

How similar the two look, both have a civilization heritage that the world's human beings can't imagine, and they are both at the intersection of the world, a painful change has occurred.

But the difference is that when it is pitch black in front of him and he can't see the road ahead, he groped again and again, made mistakes again and again, corrected again and again, and finally stood on top of the world again.

The other, on the other hand, were confused by the war, and they did not know whether to plunder everything with their strength like the barbarians, or whether to maintain their own traditions and pursue spiritual harmony.

Of course, it's a bit far to say this now, since he and the queen came here with a tourist mentality, then naturally do some things that tourism should do now.

I saw Xiao Yuebai suddenly take out his usual mobile phone from the dark space, and then slammed at the beautiful scenery around him.

The magic plants that are as gorgeous as a rainbow in the mountains are in full bloom, the breeze is wrapped in clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, and Xiao Yuebai's mobile phone takes a few pictures at random, all of which belong to the level of computer desktop wallpapers.

With the beautiful scenery and the beauties around him, Xiao Yuebai pulled the queen on a whim, and the two took a few more photos together.

After the shooting, the queen took the phone directly, and then looked at the photos she had just taken.

But what happened next was a little beyond Xiao Yuebai's expectations, I saw that the queen began to take selfies with her mobile phone, one would run to the front of the whirlpool rock to take two photos, and then go to squat down next to the beautiful flowers in the distance to take a few photos.

After fiddling for a while after filming, Xiao Yuebai suddenly frowned, Xiao Yuebai knew that the queen was a little dissatisfied with the selfie just now.

Xiao Yuebai smiled slightly when she saw this, came to Kaisha's side, and taught her how to use her mobile phone to adjust her beauty.

After discovering that the mobile phone also has the function of beautifying her face, the queen's interest suddenly increased.

Looking at the various effects of his wife's beautiful face that does not need any embellishment at all, but she is still there with a beautiful adjuster photo.

Xiao Yuebai couldn't help but complain in her heart: "No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't resist the temptation of beauty!" ”
