The sun was shining overhead, and even the weeds near the wall began to hang their heads weakly, as if they couldn't lift any spirits.

Qing's back leaned against a one-person-wide crimson pillar, and he turned his head sideways to watch Zhongli pacing out of the lobby.

Zhongli slowly walked out of the shield of the eaves, letting the cannibalistic sunlight shine on his body, and at the same time raised his head, slightly closed his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sun.

Feeling Qing standing in the back yard, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Tianshu Xing is about to retire, I always feel that Yuehai Pavilion will recommend you, this will definitely be interesting." ”

"Zhongli, it will only be the Zhongli of the Death Hall."

Zhongli turned around, opened his eyes, looked at Qing's back through the pillar, and continued to speak: "I haven't seen you for a thousand years, you seem to be more like a person." ”

"What time is it, and you and the Anemo God in Mondstadt aren't both blending into humanity?"

Qing Zhan was a little tired, turned around and sat down on the chair next to him, turned his head to look at Zhongli, and continued in a calm tone: "Maybe you can try to forget your godhood, and you will become much easier. ”

"Forgetting who you are as a god?"

Zhongli slowly walked to Qing's side and sat down, staring at Qing calmly, and said, "You are very close to the current Yuhengxing and the hall master. ”

"The Sword God died a thousand years ago, and I am just a descendant of the Sword God, a descendant of the survivors of the former Sword God Territory."

Qing shook his head slowly, looked at Zhongli with a chuckle, and continued with a little nostalgia: "Or maybe I'm just a soul that has nothing to do with the Sword God, but I just happen to be integrated with the Sword God, who can say for sure these things?" ”

Zhongli's calm gaze had been staring at Qing all the time, and after a long time, he turned his head away, and said in a still open tone: "A hundred years in the blink of an eye, after a hundred years, what about you?" ”

Qing was suddenly stunned, he had indeed never thought of this, and he had a lot of thoughts for a while.

Zhongli next to him didn't pay attention to his emotions at this time, his eyes looked at a leaf in the distance with a little blankness, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and continued to speak: "The god who wants to make changes and struggles has long since disappeared from the sanctions of heavenly principles. ”

This problem does not exist for Qing, thinking of Hu Tao's prank, Keqing's tsundere, and Xiangling's deliciousness, the only thing left is to solve the problem to be studied.

Qing suddenly laughed, looked at Zhongli who was looking at him, and asked, "Is there a god who can control the seven elemental powers?" ”

"The gods have their own duties and all the power, and that is the principle of heaven."

Zhongli looked down at his hand, and was slightly stunned for a moment, he already knew the answer from Qing's gaze, and said, "My contract with Liyue is to guard, I can't let Liyue have any chance of being affected, you might be able to talk to the Ice God more." ”

"Don't worry, I'm a dignified sword god, the strongest god outside of Morax."

Qing looked at Zhongli's slightly emotional appearance, smiled and reached out to hold the hilt of the long sword on his waist, and said chicly: "I have a sword in my hand, why is it unsatisfactory?" ”

"For thousands of years, perhaps the only one who has not been worn out by the wind and dust is you."

Zhongli sighed lightly, sat up, his temperament instantly returned to his previous indifferent appearance, and Qing next to him looked at him with a blank face, and Qing felt that Zhongli was acting again just now to blow him up.

Zhongli looked like nothing had happened just now, turned his head to look at Qing, and said, "Ruotuo is going to wake up." ”

"The Dragon King of Raota?"

Qing Wenyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, if his memory was correct, Ruotuo Dragon King should not wake up in a year, and now it was actually a whole year earlier.

This reminded Qing of the butterfly effect, the change caused by his arrival.

Qing suddenly missed this poor dragon king who had to be hammered by him every week, so he opened his mouth and asked, "The earth shaking I just felt was caused by this Ruotuo Dragon King, right?" ”

"That's right."

Zhongli was not surprised that Qing understood this, and continued to speak, "We had a good relationship when you were here, and in the end it chose to help me establish Liyue. ”

Qing Wenyan, reached out and touched his chin, thought about it and said, "Judging from the movement, it should take more than a month before it fully wakes up, right?" ”

"Almost, after this exchange meeting."

A touch of nostalgia appeared in Zhongli's eyes again, and then he shook his head lightly, throwing away that nostalgia, and then continued to speak: "Ruotuo is no longer the Ruotuo of the past, its heart is full of hatred. ”

Qing naturally caught Zhongli's flashing emotions and asked, "You can't bear to make a move, and you want me to help you do it?" ”

"Part of it."

Zhongli didn't deny it, and continued to speak: "Before I find a way to hand over power, I want to try their cohesion again, and this time Ruotuo appeared, it was a good time. ”

Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhongli, and looked at Zhongli, Zhongli's eyes were full of calm, as if those emotions just now had nothing to do with him.

"That's the price of living for a thousand years."

Zhongli could see the emotion in his eyes, turned his head and continued to look at the leaves in the distance, and said, "They are not Ruotuo's opponents, and they still need your help in this matter." ”

Qing nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

"Squeak—"

The door to the lobby was suddenly pushed open, breaking the heavy and silent atmosphere outside.

Hu Tao walked in front, looked at Ke Qing who was about to speak to Qing, and took the lead in speaking, "Lord Yuhengxing must be very busy, right?" Go back to Yuehai Pavilion quickly, don't delay your work. ”

Hearing this, Ke Qing looked at Hu Tao coldly, and Hu Tao waved his hand at her with a smile on his face to say goodbye.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Ke Qing just snorted coldly, glanced in Qing's direction, and then turned around and left the Hall of Death quickly.

Hu Tao looked at Ke Qing's back and sighed: "It seems that the work pressure of Yuehai Pavilion is great, and I see Lord Yuhengxing walking so fast." ”

Qing Wenyan on the side couldn't help but smile, and said helplessly: "Hall Master, have you finished discussing your affairs?" ”

"Well, all that's left is to talk to that astrologer, really, what kind of astrologer to invite for a trade fair in Liyue."

Hu Tao pursed his lips with some disdain, waved his hand and said, "These things will be left to you and Mr. Zhongli, the hall master hasn't made up for sleep today." ”

Qing raised his head and looked at Hu Tao and yawned a little tiredly, and said with some distress: "Then go back to sleep for a while, there will be no problem with Mr. Zhongli watching here." ”

Zhongli next to him looked at it, he hadn't had time to listen to the book today.
