"Don't mind, do you?" The robed man reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts.

Shi Lan was speechless: "You have already eaten a lot." ”

The man in the robe waved his hand: "Hey, I've never been polite to people." ”

"By the way, what's the situation with my life coming soon?"

The words that this person had just blurted out made Shi Lan almost choke on peanuts, and he didn't know where such a strange person came from.

At the same time, he also looked at the man carefully.

He looks a little handsome and looks a little ordinary, but the color and texture of the robe he wears have a bit of Liyue elements, but the overall style is not like Liyue's, and he even wears leather shoes......

"What kind of clothing ......?"

Shi Lan recalled the outfits he had seen in the past, and he had never seen a second person wear this look.

But when you think about it, Teyvat is a bit of a maverick as long as he is not an ordinary person, such as wearing a cloak with his left hand tied......

The man in the robe crushed the peanut shell, threw it into his mouth in a chic motion, clapped his hands and continued: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what I just said may be a bit too much...... Again, you're going back to Liyue City, right? ”

Shi Lan didn't rush to answer, and asked rhetorically, "Then what?" ”

The robed man frowned, looked around sheepishly, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on the conversation, he beckoned Shi Lan to come closer, and then covered his mouth and said something shocking, "I know this may be a bit sudden, but I still want to tell you that Liyue is about to suffer a great disaster... The kind of mountains and seas, so it's better not to go back..."

"Great difficulty?"

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, never knowing what catastrophe Liyue might suffer.

After all, there are so many immortals guarding them, and if they are thick-skinned, they can be considered a strong combat force, and in the end, what about Liyue and the Rock King, what else can there be?

Shi Lan instantly thought about all possible factors.

Ruotuo Dragon King broke the seal? Chasm Riot? Or will all the remnants of the demon gods wake up?

Aside from the above possibilities, Shi Lan really couldn't think of anything else that could threaten Liyue, which was guarded by the Rock King.

It can't be that the Heavenly Laws summon the gods to come down and wipe out Liyue like Kanria......

Shi Lan shook his head, the probability of this happening is not as high as the probability of the death of the Rock King Emperor......

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched the empty bowl, and then suddenly came to his senses, looking at the guy in front of him in amazement.

Then he slapped the table: "You guy! It's a swindler! ”

This slap caused the people at the other table to cast surprised glances at them.

The man in the robe was excited, glanced at the cracked tabletop, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Don't get excited, I definitely didn't lie to you......"

Shi Lan glared: "Then tell me, what is the big difficulty?!" ”

"Don't shout."

The man in the robe dusted off the peanut skin on his sleeve and cleared his throat: "Let me introduce myself first, I am not a strange person, but a prophet, who understands the past and future by looking at people's faces." ”

He hugged his arms and looked like he was alone.

"The Prophet?" Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, frowned and sat down, "What came from?" ”

"Do you know that the witch will?" The robed man said proudly.

Shi Lan's mouth opened slightly, and she suddenly stood in awe, "I know ......"

Man in robe: "It's okay with me. ”

Shi Lan: "......"

I feel like I'm being tricked.

He showed a kind smile: "Looking for a fight, right?" ”

The man in the robe hurriedly waved his hand: "Oh, don't be impulsive, I'm kidding......"

Seeing that the rain was getting lighter, Shi Lan felt impatient, dropped a few morals, got up and left: "I don't have time to mess around with you, I don't know what you're here for, if you want to make fun of me, then you should be glad that my fist hasn't been printed on your face." Also, if you want Mora, take it, and don't follow me. ”

The sound of three moras falling into the empty bowl was harsh.

The man in the robe was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he grabbed Mora: "What do you think I am?" Who does Mora look down on at this!! I'm not a money scammer! ”

Three steps and two steps chased after him, he held Mora in his hand and said angrily to Shi Lan: "You are insulting me!" ”

With that, he angrily put Mora in his trouser pocket.

Such a natural movement made Shi Lan stunned.

Big brother, you're so angry, do you still want this money?

"You ......"

This guy really can't fix Shi Lan.

"I'll tell you the truth." The man in the robe wiped the rain from his face and said directly: "The golden dragon sinks into the jade platform, and the huge waves cover the mountains." Liyue is going to change dramatically, Shi Lan, you have a causal relationship with this, so you can't go back to Liyue. ”

Shi Lan was puzzled: "I don't seem to have told you my name?" ”

The man in the robe jumped to his feet: "This is not the point of your concern!" ”

Shi Lan waved her hand and turned to leave, "I can't stop going back to Liyue because of your words, you think you're the Lord of Rock, I listen to you like this!" ”

"Are you really ready to answer those prayers?" The robed man said coldly, "Once you go back, you won't have a choice, and the burden of Liyue will be on your shoulders." ”

Shi Lan stood still, and did not move for a long time.

The light rain was dripping, accompanied by a light breeze blowing on people's faces, so that the man in the robe could not see Shi Lan's movements clearly.

Just when the man in the robe thought that this sentence would work on Shi Lan, Shi Lan turned his head: "What did you just say?" ”

Man in robe: "......"

Leave it here and play dumb for me, right?

Shi Lan scratched her head: "It's not so serious... The Rock King is still alive, not so much..."

The robed man didn't answer directly, "You know your own specialness better than I do, can you resist it when the time comes?" As soon as you make a move, the accompanying prayers will push you to the top of the wave. ”

"That's ......" Shi Lan smiled and stroked her heart: "Then I have to go back even more, to be believed, how amazing, like a god." ”

Shi Lan smiled at the corner of her mouth, accentuating the word "god".

The man in the robe was unmoved, and said earnestly: "Even if you know that you will face a life-and-death choice when you go back?" ”

"If I don't go back, the disaster in Liyue won't happen? So what did I run away from? Am I afraid of death? Shi Lan just smiled, and then shook his head slightly: "Please...... Dead or something...... It doesn't matter......"

"But what I'm telling you is that Liyue is in this difficult situation, and even if you don't go back, it will survive the crisis unscathed. But if you go back, it's only going to put you in a critical position. This cause and effect is only for you. The robed man looked at Shi Lan fixedly, "In this matter, you are to Liyue like a star in the sky......

"Oh?" Shi Lan was surprised: "I'm so bright?" ”

Robed man: "It doesn't matter if there is one more or less. ”

Shi Lan: "......"

Your grandma drips ......

It's hard, the fist is hard, the clench is rattling.

"Yike...... I think you're really looking for ......."

The robed man didn't care about his threat in the slightest, and continued, "So, after you know that Liyue will survive the crisis even without you, do you still have to decide to go back and die?" What's the point of you doing that? ”

"What's the point?"

Shi Lan suddenly chuckled twice.

"Flowers... Tree... Sky... Mountains; Friendship... Affection... Laughter, and the whole of Liyue. Shi Lan said seriously: "Aren't these reasons enough?" These are worth the risk of my life to protect! You said that Liyue is in trouble, and I can't be a spectator for my own life, and rashly set everything on your prophecy, are you right? ”

The man in the robe looked at Shi Lan, as if he was shocked by his words, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "You really still don't believe me......"

"Besides, it's just nine deaths, don't you have another life?"

"Destiny is not predestined to be written, but by choice. I said everything I wanted to say, and that's it, and left. ”

Shi Lan turned around and waved his hand behind his back.

The robed man didn't follow Shi Lan anymore, just watched his departing back from a distance.

"Looks like you're ready..."

After Shi Lan walked away, he looked back to look at the man in the robe, but in the light rain, it was empty.

On the muddy ground, only one's footprints stretched......

※※※

At the Wangshu Inn, a middle-aged man and an old woman sat together.

If you look closely, you will find that the older woman is sitting with her hands down, and her posture is quite respectful to the middle-aged person.

"I told him a long time ago, he wouldn't believe it." The old woman shook her head: "This is too sudden for him. ”

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, looked thousands of miles away, his eyes were shining, and he nodded slightly, "He is so resolute, but it makes me feel a lot more at ease." ”

"It's hard to be able to hear with his brain."

"Shi Lan is not stupid."

The old woman hesitated: "It's not that I chose him, that traveler is even more..."

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup and blew it gently, took a sip to moisten his lips, and continued:

"The guest stars on the horizon don't stop, just a flash of light. The mountains that stand on the earth are the walls that will protect Liyue forever. ”

"He's just a rock."

"No mountain is created for no reason."

The old woman was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

The atmosphere became solidified.

After a long time, she seemed to have figured it out, let out a sigh of relief, and instead quipped: "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen the embodiment of this kind of character......"

“……”

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly, holding the tea as if he had not drunk it, and finally said embarrassedly: "I just fabricated a guy who can have a normal conversation with him... Character is not something I decide......"

The two stopped talking.

The middle-aged man looked at the Ogihua Prefecture outside the inn.

"I will save your life, and you will protect the peace of Liyue."

"This is a covenant with God."

"You return, the contract is completed."

I originally wanted Tatsushi to make a cameo.,But after writing it, I found that it was too dramatic and abrupt.,I can only miss him in this way.。

Sure enough, Tatsushi is still my favorite ......
