Chapter 68 Uncover the bark of the dragon tree, and hope that the emperor will take care of it
Namtianmun Gate is located in the Minlin area, and the cliffs extending on both sides above form a relatively narrow passage below, I don't know whether it is the scars left by the great war in ancient times or the magic of nature.
After listening to Uncle Zhang's introduction, Shi Lan decided to go to Nantianmen.
He explained the situation to Hu Tao and wanted to find some raw materials for his equipment. The latter said that he wanted to follow, and said that if something happened, he could solve it on the spot......
Shi Lan originally planned to agree, but when she saw that the latter had brought an extra shovel when she packed up her equipment, she decisively rejected her.
Hu Tao explained seriously that the shovel is only used to help remove the bark of the tree, and it is definitely not used to dig a pit and bury people......
Shi Lan didn't say a word, turned around and ran.
In fact, it is estimated that there is no danger in going to Nantianmen this time, at best, some hilichurls or slimes need to be solved, which can be handled, so one person can do it.
Travel light, and if the journey goes well, it will take you about five days to get back.
He went to the Adventurers' Guild to buy a large map of Liyue, studied it for a long time, and was surprised to find that the entire terrain of Liyue was almost exactly the same as he remembered.
For example, Cui Jue Slope and Jue Yun Room, such a place that he had never been to, Shi Lan could probably imagine the situation there.
He shook his head, not thinking about this strange situation, he didn't dare to think about it.
Those memories are like dormant forces in the body, which come out of nowhere.
Shi Lan prepared something.
Ropes, wound medicine, a few clean clothes, and some dry food sponsored by Xiangling and Guoba.
Shi Shan was a little worried, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only tell Shi Lan and remind him not to go to a place with many stone pillars when passing through Cuijue Slope, and not to go up to Amber Prison Mountain in the middle of the clouds, let alone touch strange things on the side of the road.
It is the residence of the immortals, and there are prohibitions from the immortals' subordinates everywhere.
Shishan once climbed Amber Prison Mountain for a few pieces of Shipo, but he was accidentally sealed in Shipo for three days, and then he was rescued when Ganyu passed by......
Shi Shan's instructions, Shi Lan listened very carefully, these are all his father's personal experience, and he has benefited a lot.
Everything was ready, and early the next morning, Shi Lan set off.
"Are you sure you don't want us along?" Chongyun and Hu Tao saw him off at the city gate.
"No need, just peel off a few pieces of bark and come back." Shi Lan said lightly: "Then Ruotuo can still drill out of the ground and beat me?" ”
"I've also heard the legend of the Fulong Tree, the material of the tree is extremely hard, and in addition to the tree itself, there are some strange things happening around it, so you need to be careful." Chongyun took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his arms and bit his middle finger: "I will carve a few talismans for you, so that you can prevent evil ghosts from daring to get close, and you can feel at ease when you stay in the mountains and wilderness at night." ”
Shi Lan was very moved: "Very good. ”
Hu Tao grabbed the burden and said pitifully: "Don't you really need me to accompany you?" I didn't bring a shovel ......."
Chongyun stopped Hu Tao behind him, and hurriedly said, "Don't believe her, this girl just bought a bunch of fire control talismans from me last night, and it seems that she has never sorted out a few ice elemental stones......"
Shi Lan was dumbfounded.
The dead duck of the walnut has a hard mouth: "I was there to raise a bonfire!" Keep your ingredients fresh! ”
Shi Lan believed that the little girl had no malicious intentions, but what she did subconsciously was indeed too scary, the Fire Charm and the Ice Elemental Stone, it was hard not to let him think about it...
He vaguely remembered that when he came back from the island in the lake and was injured and bedridden, the little girl stuffed an advertisement from the window to bury one and get one free, which made him stunned all morning......
"Well, it's good for me to go alone." Shi Lan smiled awkwardly but politely, took a few steps back, and then turned and ran.
Hu Tao waved his burden: "Go all the way~"
Chongyun: "......"
Shi Lan turned a deaf ear and walked quickly, he put all the belongings he carried into the cloth pocket he was carrying, his whole body was extremely brisk, and he was not tired along the way.
Coming to the statue of the Seven Heavens of the Rock King, Shi Lan took out the incense prepared in advance and lit it and worshipped it.
When the people of Liyue go far away, they will pay a stick of incense to the Emperor of the Rock here, praying for the Emperor's protection on the way.
Shi Lan prayed earnestly: "Emperor bless, boy Shi Lan, leave the city today and go to Nantianmen......"
Zhong Wei, who was looking at the port from Yujingtai, moved: "Huh? Is this kid out of town? Let me hear what he has to say......"
It is true that prayers under the statue of the Seven Heavens can reach God's heart, but whether God wants to hear it or not is another matter.
Zhongli is usually too lazy to listen to this, but Shi Lan's kid is too memorable for him.
That's a great thing to hear.
"The kid wants to go to Nantianmen to find the dragon tree and remove the bark, the road is far away, the road is difficult and the cliff is dangerous, I hope the emperor will take care of ......"
"Peel off the bark of the dragon tree? Do you want me to take care of it? Zhongli suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh, this is not the kind of smile he usually has, but the kind of smile that comes from the heart, what do people call this kind of smile......
Yes, schadenfreude.
"Shi Lan is going to uncover Ruotuo's dragon scales, Gechen said, Ruotuo wants to kill him, do I save him, or not......"
Grandma Ping handed Zhongli a cup of hot tea, "Didn't you already have an idea in your heart......
"It's... Then don't save it..."
Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly.
Shi Lan took out the map, confirmed his location, and continued to set off, all the way north.
According to his plan, starting from the north gate of Liyue, passing through the original route, then heading west through the Cuijue Slope, entering the bottom of the Heavenly Valley through the Clouds, and passing through the South Heavenly Gate to see the Fulong Tree.
If you look at this distance, you should be able to reach the wooden bridge connecting Guiliyuan and Cuijue Slope at night.
This is the first time Shi Lan has run so far alone, except for the time when he and Xingqiu went to Dihua Continent, the farthest Shi Lan walked was to go to Luhua Pond to pick up shells.
By the way, the shell that Keqing bought from him was picked up from Luhua Pond......
Until the afternoon, Shi Lan walked past the last garrison of the Milleliths, and they were guarding a small stone bridge, where there were only two Millelith guards, one named Eco and the other called Starfire.
Shi Lan rubbed a meal here, filled his stomach, and saved some dry food.
"Little brother goes out alone?" Xinghuo was very enthusiastic: "Aren't you accompanied by an adult?" ”
Eco: "Little brother going out alone? Don't have an adult with you? ”
Shi Lan explained: "I plan to go to Nantianmen and walk from Cuijue Slope. ”
"If you travel this distance, you shouldn't be able to catch up with Cuijue Slope at night." Xinghuo looked at the sun and frowned, "It's very dangerous to return to the original place at night, I advise you not to go, wait until tomorrow morning to leave." ”
Eco: "Let's wait until tomorrow morning." ”
Shi Lan was puzzled: "What danger will there be at night?" ”
Xinghuo shook his head: "I don't know, every night we hide in the house and don't dare to come out." All we heard was the howling of ghosts and wolves outside, as if there were terrible ghosts roaming. The last time Eco went out, he was scared by a very tall imp who couldn't speak, and was finally cured by a beautiful sister with long ears, and now he is learning to speak again...... I'm going crazy. ”
Eco: "I'm going crazy......"
Shi Lan was shocked: "He's been learning you to speak?!" ”
Xinghuo was dumbfounded: "You just saw it!" ”
