Chapter 361: The End of the Family, The Continuation of the Gods (5k)
Time passed little by little, and the autumn wind blew inadvertently,
The trees of Liyue Harbor have inadvertently turned yellow.
The scattered leaves add a bit of poetry to this busy city.
It's been two days since the last meeting.
After the last party, I don't know who was the big mouth, and said that Wang Daoyi was the one who fought with Bazai that day, and it was definitely not Paimon who ate dizzily anyway, well, definitely not.
In the end, everyone frantically poured wine on Wang Daoyi,
It seems to be a punishment for concealing Wang Daoyi's identity, or for concealing his strength,
And Wang Daoyi didn't use any extraordinary power, so he used the attitude of an ordinary person to come one by one.
In the end, he was drunk and slipped back to Wanmin Hall by Xiangling.
Of course, if Wang Daoyi is willing, he can easily dispel these drunkenness, but he is unwilling,
In his thoughts, perhaps, this was the last time he would be so ordinary to get together with everyone.
As a result, Wang Daoyi was soon slapped in the face.
Today happens to be the day of the celebration party in the Jade Pavilion,
When Wang Daoyi took the invitation and boarded the Jade Pavilion,
I found that the friends who gathered two days ago were actually there.
Keqing is a jade star, and the celebration will naturally have her,
Xiangling is a chef, so naturally she is here.
Xingqiu is the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and it is natural to have an invitation.
Chongyun is a young representative of the Fangshi lineage, and Ningguang will naturally not let go,
Yanfei is Liyue's most famous legal counselor, Ningguang's 'old rival', and of course receives invitations.
Xin Yan, as a stage master and Yun Jin's good friend, also came together.
Obviously, the previous gathering was not their last ordinary gathering, but Wang Daoyi thought too much about himself,
With a little self-deprecation, Wang Daoyi looked around and saw Zhongli calmly drinking tea on the side, and Hu Tao jumping around him, chattering non-stop.
walked over, sat down beside Zhongli,
"Master Hu, Zhong Li Keqing, long time no see."
"Oh, Brother Dao, we only met two days ago."
Wang Daoyi:.
"Ahem, I saw Ying and Shenhe also coming, why don't Hall Master Hu go over and take a look?"
"Hey, is Shenhe here too? It just so happens that she hasn't ordered the package I told her last time. Hu Tao's eyes lit up, and the peach blossom eyes became more and more beautiful, and then he looked at Zhongli, "Zhongli, I'll go out, you can take a good look here, don't let other people take a place." β
Zhongli nodded: "Hall Master, don't worry, I'll just sit here and won't go anywhere." β
Receiving Zhongli's reply, Hu Tao nodded, and then patted Zhongli on the shoulder: "Very good, I know Zhongli you can be trusted." β
Then he turned around and jumped to find Ying and Shenhe.
"Master Hu, it's really naΓ―ve."
"Oh, this kid, I can't handle it all the time."
For Zhongli, the only thing he couldn't settle in Liyue Harbor was Hu Tao.
The identity of the guest secretary of the deceased hall always puts him at a disadvantage when facing Hu Tao.
However, Zhongli doesn't hate this feeling,
"How does it feel to go further." Zhongli stretched out his hand and poured Wang Daoyi a cup of tea,
Wang Dao took a look at it, it was worthy of Ningguang, even if it was ordinary hospitality tea, the tea used was better than most of the circulating tea on the market.
Just poured out from the mouth of the pot, a wisp of fragrance belonging to the tea spread to the tip of Wang Daoyi's nose.
"This tea, not bad."
Wang Daoyi sighed, and then answered Zhongli's previous question: "Feeling. The whole person is a little more transparent, this feeling of progress, very good. β
"Ningguang's tea leaves are the best in Qiaoyingzhuang, she signed a contract with the tea merchants, and she was the first person to pick tea throughout Liyue, and this tea is naturally good."
Zhongli chuckled, then added, "You met those things in there." β
Those things?
Wang Daoyi was a little puzzled, and then quickly reacted: "You mean, those black chains?" β
Zhongli nodded: "Maybe, how does it feel." β
Maybe?
Wang Daoyi became more and more puzzled in his heart, not knowing why Zhongli would use such uncertain words,
However, he still opened his mouth to answer Zhongli's question: "Although the breath is like an abyss, the actual strength is not strong, and the level of wisdom is not high, which makes people feel a little strong on the outside and dry on the outside." β
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and then he raised his head slightly to look at Gao Tian,
[It seems that you are really weak. γ
"Emperor, is there anything wrong?" Seeing that Zhongli stopped speaking after listening to his words, but looked up at the sky, Wang Dao couldn't help but be a little puzzled,
Zhongli made this kind of action, in Wang Daoyi's opinion, it was like Western medicine calling people and Chinese medicine turning books, giving people a very bad premonition.
You can't inadvertently trigger any taboos, right?
Retracting his gaze to the sky, Zhongli saw the confusion in Wang Dao's eyes,
He shook his head slightly: "No, it has nothing to do with you, I'm just thinking. Old friends. β
Then the topic changed and looked at the small pot hanging from Wang Daoyi's waist,
"By the way, dispose of that thing in your pot as soon as possible, Ah Yuan has been complaining about it for the past few days."
"Huh?" Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, confused by Zhongli's sudden change of topic, and quickly reacted, Zhongli was talking about the beast body,
It has been many days since that thing was collected by Wang Daoyi into the dust song pot.
"Your pot is probably filled with the water element that escaped from that thing, and the Ah Yuan distracted pot spirit in your pot escaped early, and these days, there is no less nagging in our ears about your unreliability."
I don't know if Wang Daoyi felt wrong, he always felt that there was a hint of a smile in Zhongli's words just now.
However, Zhongli's words still reminded Wang Daoyi,
The corpse of Bajie must be disposed of as soon as possible,
Even if there is a golden chain blockade, after the existence of this level is gone, the emission of power is not something that the Dust Song Pot can carry indefinitely.
Once the power of the Bajie breaks through the carrying limit of the dust song pot, not only will it lose a dust song pot at that time, but it may also cause some bad things.
However, how to deal with Bajie's corpse has become a difficult problem for Wang Daoyi.
First of all, the dissection is definitely to be dissected,
He also wants to find the secret of the sub-authority from Basha.
Although the sub-authority of the Ba Ji is no longer there, there will be traces of what has existed.
In Alhaithham's words, everything must be connected,
And through these traces, Wang Daoyi has the confidence to reverse the answer, after all, this kind of thing is what he is good at.
As for why not ask Zhongli.
The contract with the Iwano's family had ended, and Wang Daoyi was too embarrassed to ask questions about such important information as authority.
However, the question of how to dissect, or where to dissect, is important.
Just like the god of salt, Heuriah, who passed away, salted everything around him,
There was no immediate problem with Baji's corpse at that time, because Wang Daoyi's golden chain was sealed off at the first time.
If you find a place by the way, take out the corpse of Bajie for autopsy,
The last remaining power of that bashi burst out, and the impact on the surrounding area is probably also very great.
As if seeing Wang Daoyi's embarrassment, Zhongli spoke again: "Ba Ji is a demon god of the water genus, and later fell from the personality of the demon god because he followed Osier, but in essence, he still has the influence of the demon god level, if there is no external influence, after Ba Ji dies, the place where he falls will be gradually distorted by his power and turn into an ocean." β
As he spoke, Zhongli waved his hand and nodded in the direction of Sumeru: "It just so happens that Buyer agrees that you are operating in the desert, and the desert happens to be short of water."
Zhongli's meaning is obvious, the best place to deal with Baqiao is the desert.
However, Wang Daoyi is also a little hesitant about this,
After all, he had seen the influence of the power of the gods left behind after the death of Orobus, and it can be said that many of Inazuma's disasters originated from him.
If you 'use' the water in the desert and turn it into an ocean, will the water also carry the resentment of the barrage?
After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi felt that he might as well ask Zhongli directly,
But then I remembered the end of the Iwa Contract,
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Heh, you don't need to think about that, if you want to ask me, you can just ask, although the contract of the dependents is over, but it belongs to the contract between the gods, and it can also be signed."
"A contract that belongs to the gods?"
"Of course, you are about to come to the end of this day, and you are naturally qualified to sign a deeper contract with me."
"A deeper contract?"
"Well, it's like the pact I once made with the Ice Empress, it's a pact between the gods."
Wang Daoyi nodded thoughtfully, and then looked into Zhongli's gilded eyes.
"Then Emperor, what should I do?"
With absolute trust in Zhongli, he asked.
"You don't need to do anything now, just ask me questions normally, just remember that when Liyue is in danger, you need to take action."
Zhongli said in a very, very calm tone.
Just like the contract between him and the Ice Empress, there are no documents or scrolls, as long as the agreement is made, it represents the establishment of the contract.
"In that case, Emperor, I would like to know how to give others their own authority, just as Osel gave to Baha, and how to clear the resentment of Bahara if it is used in the desert."
Since there is a price and it is not a prostitution, then there is no need to be embarrassed,
Wang Daoyi directly asked the two questions he wanted to know the most, and then looked at Zhongli, waiting for his answer.
"Oh first of all, I'm sorry, I can't answer you, I've never split my authority, so I don't know." Zhongli shook his head, he didn't know this question either.
"As for the second question, first of all, the demon god is immortal, even if his body turns into ashes and his soul is annihilated, but as long as he still has obsessions and resentments, then he will exist forever, accumulate strength in the leylines in the depths of the earth, and finally return again."
After a pause, Zhongli explained again: "Of course, this kind of thing is also accidental, those demon gods who are willing to sacrifice themselves, and those who have no obsession, are not in this case. However, it will certainly not be such an existence, and he will definitely be immortal in the leylines. β
"So, if you want to deal with the resentment left by Basha, I have two suggestions."
Wang Dao's eyes lit up, and his body leaned forward: "Listen to me." β
"The first way is to find someone to clean up the grievances of the demon god from time to time, as the grievances of the demon god are eliminated again and again, the time for him to be reborn from the leylines will become longer and longer, so that this problem will be solved in disguise."
Wang Dao nodded a little, he understands, Xiao's job.
"The second way, find the God of Wisdom, enter the World Tree, find the information that belongs to Baji, and then delete Him, and it will naturally be solved." Seeing that Wang Dao nodded, Zhongli continued to say the second method, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
And when he heard the second method, Wang Daoyi's eyes widened, and his heart was shocked,
How did Zhongli know that he could mobilize the World Tree information?
His second constellation [Wisdom Light Blooming], which was a gift from the Great Mercy Tree King, lit up the wisdom light of the royal road, and when authorized by the World Tree master, he could accurately read the information in the World Tree.
Wang Dao thought about it for a while, and noticed that there was something wrong in Zhongli's tone just now,
Then he reacted that Zhongli didn't know about his second constellation, and he didn't even think that he could enter the World Tree, but he was just reminding him to go to the God of Wisdom to solve this problem.
Shaking her head helplessly, she asked Nahida to process the information in the World Tree, but at present, she couldn't do it at all, and Nahida herself was denied access by the World Tree.
However, Wang Daoyi didn't say these things, Nahida's matter, it's good that he knows about it, as for other people, even if they are as close as Zhongli, it's best not to mention them.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it." Wang Daoyi nodded at Zhongli, indicating that he had written down these two solutions,
In my heart, I thought that when I returned to the desert, I would find a character similar to Xiao who could temporarily help deal with the resentment of Bajie.
Oh. Although there is such a powerful subordinate as Xiao, Wang Daoyi definitely does not have it in his hands,
However, there is no quality, he has a quantity,
Turning around, get a dozen teams of holy relics warriors to patrol, and I don't believe that I can't force the resentment back to the leylines.
Well, maybe you can build the power of the Holy Relic Warrior and use the power of the Fortress itself.
It was a good idea to peel the bones and skin of the band and squeeze everything out of Him.
Here Wang Daoyi and Zhongli are chatting,
On the other side, Ningguang appeared in front of everyone,
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, she just appeared and attracted everyone's attention.
For a while, the Jade Pavilion was quiet,
The old chatter, laughter, or slapstick are gone,
Everyone looked at Ningguang,
And was watched by everyone, Ningguang still did not change his face, with a kind smile, and his demeanor was generous,
Even Wang Daoyi and Zhongli had to sigh, the power on Ningguang's body became more and more obvious,
Heavenly power condenses light, and it is becoming more and more like a real human ruler.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this banquet is to celebrate the victory in the Battle of Guyun Pavilion a few days ago, and with the protection of the Emperor, Liyue has once again defeated the enemy, proving to the world that Liyue is still the same Liyue that it once was."
"Second, it's also because Mr. Yun's new play needs a stage, so he chose the Jade Pavilion."
"So, let's not talk about big things today, please enjoy the banquet to the fullest, and also enjoy Mr. Yun's new play."
Ningguang only came forward briefly and said a few words,
It seems that gathering such a large group of people is just to celebrate the victory and help Yun Jin promote the new play.
However, in Wang Daoyi's eyes,
Those rich businessmen and dignitaries who were invited looked at Ningguang's eyes, but they had different emotions,
Maybe in their eyes, everything Ningguang does has a different meaning.
In the middle of the royal road,
On the high platform in front of the attic of the Jade Pavilion, the curtain gradually opened,
In everyone's expectations, Yun Jin, who put on a costume and painted a play, walked on the high platform,
And behind her, Xin Yan waved at her and cheered.
After coming on stage, Yun Jin bowed slightly to the audience, and then her eyes stayed on Shenhe for a moment.
turned around, and it was a shocking look,
[But-sigh-sigh]
Qiu Hong folds a single and is difficult to double
Foolish, obsessed, resentful, obsessed
but because of the evil sacrifice that brought evil to disaster
If it weren't for the women drawing their swords, everyone would have died
Where the fate is hazy, the fairy is mysterious
Tianlun dispersed to the Jiangfu invitation
Zhu Si is bound to rotten Keqiao
The slush is far away
The crane is gone
The spider's silk is in vain
Cause and effect are insignificant
Smoke disappearsββ]
At the end of the song, the audience woke up from the story of the red dust, and in an instant, there was an endless stream of applause.
And Yun Jin listened to the applause from the audience, and couldn't help but look at Shenhe's seat,
With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Shenhe seemed to be very satisfied with the story just now, this is the story she wanted, if the original thing was just like the story, how good it would be!
Looking at the smile on the corner of Shenhe's mouth,
Yun Jin took a deep breath, and then looked at everyone in the audience:
""The Goddess Splitting Views" should be nearing the end here, but today I add another ββ, singing and - everyone - listen~"
[Qu Gao may not be unknown to people
has its own bosom friend and clear words
Red Tassel Hunting Sword Meteor
Pointing to the angry waves and washing the seaγ
After telling the story, Yun Jin looked at Shenhe again, with a light in her eyes, and said the last words: "At that time, the crane returned, the vast world had no support, and left alone, meet again today, new and old friends are sitting in the hall, gather at this time!" β
"Papa~"
Everyone in the audience gave Yun Jin more eager applause.
And Shenhe looked at Yun Jin with a trance, she didn't seem to expect Yun Jin to write the story behind,
Coming back to his senses, Shenhe nodded at Yun Jin, and a moment of gratitude appeared in his eyes.
She is very grateful that Yun Jin can sing her story,
And like Shenhe, Yun Jin is also very grateful to Shenhe for allowing her to sing such a good story.
On the other side,
Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli: "What does the emperor think of this story?" β
"Nice story, I like it a lot." Zhongli didn't have any other expressions, listening to this play was the same reaction as listening to Yun Jin's other plays.
[Nice story, that's all.] γ
"I've always been curious, why does the emperor like to listen to books and plays?" This question has existed in Wang Daoyi's heart for a long, long time.
Even today, he himself has been influenced by Zhongli and likes to listen to books and plays, but he doesn't understand why Zhongli likes this.
An antique that is thousands of years old, maybe even tens of thousands of years old, actually likes mortals to sing, no matter how you think about it, there is something wrong.
Hearing Wang Daoyi's question,
Zhongli raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Whether it's storytelling or singing, acting is what the audience wants to see, what I like is not just storytelling and singing, what I like is what the audience likes." β
Zhongli's words are a little winding,
But Wang Daoyi seemed to understand a little.
Originally, Wang Daoyi thought that Zhongli liked to tell stories and sing those stories,
But now it seems that what Zhongli is listening to and watching is actually the preferences and pursuits of the world, or in other words, yearning
The stories on the stage are false and true, but the pursuit and yearning of the people in the audience cannot be faked.
