Zhongli just shook his head, "Maybe." Now our guesses don't make much sense, and when you get to Sumeru, these questions will naturally be answered.

"Remember to come back and tell me when the time comes. I'm also curious about what the situation of Sumeru's little auspicious grass king is now. ”

Jiang Bai nodded, and the three of them chatted about the hearsay rumors about Sumeru.

For example, the god of flowers, the god of grass, and the god of trees ruled Sumeru during the Demon God War.

Zhongli picked up the teacup, blew on the tea in the teacup, and put it to his lips.

"Compared to other places, during the Demon God War, Sumeru was a relatively lucky place."

"What do you say?"

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai dragged their cheeks to look at him.

There is no one who doesn't like to listen to stories from elders, especially from someone as knowledgeable as Zhongli.

The point is that what he tells is not necessarily a story, but something that really happened.

"Sumeru is located in the middle of the whole of Teyvat, and it used to be a very large but barren land......"

There's a reason why Liyue is the place with the most demon gods in the Seven Kingdoms.

In the Seven Kingdoms, before Barbatos blew away the snow, Mondstadt was covered in snow and ice.

Inazuma is a scattered island near the dark outer sea.

And Sumeru, there is only a full field of yellow sand.

"At that time, there were only three demon gods in Sumeru, namely the Red King, the Flower God, and the Great Mercy Tree King."

"These three demon gods have become friends and work together to protect the land of Sumeru. The three demon gods have different philosophies, and their actions are naturally different. ”

"The Great Mercy Tree King carved out a dense rainforest in the yellow sand and built a rich land suitable for human life."

"Later, the god of flowers passed away, and the red king, whose lover died, fell into grief and fell asleep in the yellow sand, and the only surviving king of the Great Cishu took over the authority from the sky and became the god of Sumeru very smoothly......"

Compared to Liyue's non-stop divine warfare, Sumeru during that period could really be called stable.

Zhongli said very broadly, but Jiang Bai still thought it was very interesting to listen to it.

Especially when I heard that the Red King admired the god of flowers.

He blinked at Zhongli, his curiosity completely unquenchable.

"Master, there's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time."

Zhongli raised his eyes and looked at him gently, "Oh? What's the problem? ”

"Can God and God produce offspring? Immortals and people can give birth to heirs, and the Emperor of the Rock King has lived for such a long time, so he has no lover? Do you have no children? ”

Zhongli: "......"

He knew that Jiang Bai, the kid, wouldn't ask any serious questions.

He pinched the small teacup in his hand, and his hand was a little itchy.

"You should ask Emperor Rock King this question."

Jiang Bai: "......"

Isn't that asking→_→

And God is not the same as man. The pure water elves are closely related to the former water god Egoria, and the tears of the flower god have turned into the flower spirit clan, do you think this can be called an heir? ”

"Uh......"

Jiang Bai grabbed the braincase and fell into a crash.

Therefore, do not judge God by human behavior. God doesn't need to multiply, and He doesn't need offspring. ”

What Jiang Bai wanted to ask was actually whether he had a lover.

At the risk of being beaten, Jiang Bai once again asked his own question.

"What about lovers? Since the Red King loves the God of Flowers, what about our Rock King Emperor? ”

Looking at Hu Tao's excited gossip eyes next to him, Zhongli knew that he couldn't get around this problem.

He put the teacup down and said slowly:

"There is no record of this in Liyue's historical records. And the Emperor of the Rock doesn't care about love, his love is given to his people. ”

"Emperor's ......"

Hearing Zhongli say this, Hu Tao, who was originally excited to listen to the gossip, felt a little sad at the moment.

Although more than a year has passed, the death of Emperor Rock is still a pain in people's hearts.

"Later, accompany me to the pillar incense of the Yiyan Palace."

"No problem!"

The two of them didn't stay in Zhongli Courtyard for long, and slowly swayed to the Yiyan Hall of Yujingtai, bowed three times to the air, and inserted incense candles in the huge incense burner.

On the way home, I passed by the Baili Market and bought a few pottery puppets of the Emperor of the Rock King by the way.

The next day, Jiang Bai went to Wufu Slope to pick up Gudong.

Since you are going to Sumeru, of course, you have to take Gollum out for a long time.

Sensing Jiang Bai's breath, Gu Dong jumped out of the water excitedly, like a beautiful fish, shining with a beautiful luster in the sun.

It snapped and gave Jiang Bai a face-hugging kill, two small hands like wings hugged Jiang Bai's hair, making a gurgling sound, directly making Jiang Bai's head wet.

Lotia emerged from the water, "Are you going to pick it up?" ”

Jiang Bai rubbed Gu Dong's head, although it had become the appearance of a water fairy, it still felt like a jelly to the touch, cold and cold.

"Well, thank you for taking care of Lady Lotia during this time."

"Take good care of it, only by growing can it keep evolving."

Gollum made a cooing sound towards Lotia.

"Goo~"

I will come to see you often.

Despite the language differences, Lotia had no difficulty understanding the meaning of Gollum.

Hearing Gollum say that he would come to see her, Lotia was in a good mood.

She rolled in a circle in the air and jumped back into the water.

"Come on, let me see what you've learned!"

Hearing Jiang Bai's words about to teach it, Gu Dong puffed up his chest, and his two small hands like wings condensed into a large ball of water.

The water balloon slowly lands and turns into a big duck made of water.

"Huh?"

The big duck stepped on the water, leaned its neck and slammed into the rocks beside it.

The beak, which was supposed to be soft and made of water, was now extremely hard, and with such a peck, the stone suddenly fell apart.

This trick is called hydration of all things, and as its name suggests, it can turn into all things.

It's just that the time of existence is limited, and the things that are made of water will follow basic common sense.

For example, turning into a plant is like a plant made of water, and it cannot move without attacking.

Turning into an animal is like this water duck, and you can only fight in the way of a duck.

"Not bad, not bad!" Jiang Bai gave enthusiastic applause.

Although this attack did not cause much harm to him, for ordinary people, it was already difficult to parry.

Jiang Bai didn't expect Gollum to help in battle, it was enough for it to protect itself.

"Anything else?"

With a wave of his small hand, a water balloon wrapped it in it, and soon, the water balloon broke, and a bird made of water appeared in Jiang Bai's field of vision.

It turned directly into a bird.

Gollum itself is a pure water element, which can make water change into other forms, and it can also change itself into other forms.

The little bird flapped its wings and landed on Jiang Bai's shoulder, rubbing his face.

"It's pretty similar."

Ignoring the color of the water and the texture of the obvious water ripples, this little bird is already very vivid.
