Chapter 21: He was probably dead
But the next situation seems to be different from what Anping saw last time.
The original auspicious clouds dissipated, the wind suddenly rose, the golden auspicious sky was dyed gray, the clear sky suddenly became pitch black, and there was a dark red ominous thunder surging among the dark clouds.
Mo said that it was the condensation of the ceremony, and even the onlookers noticed that something was wrong.
Could it be that something went wrong with this year's Immortal Ceremony, which angered Lord Yan and his old man?
Everyone present had this idea.
But Ningguang knew best in her heart that there was no possibility that anything would go wrong with the Immortal Ceremony that she had personally handled.
What's going on?
The current situation is beyond Ningguang's imagination.
The dark clouds in the sky drowned down the pillar of light, and the golden light almost dissipated, and suddenly a terrifying thunder sounded as if the sky was shattered, as if something huge smashed the pitch-black clouds and fell from the sky, falling on the altar full of tributes, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The crash of falling objects mingled with the roar of thunder, and the whole of Liyue seemed to shake twice.
When the smoke cleared, everyone present, including Ningguang, froze.
On top of the shattered altar is the immortal body of the rock king emperor who used to go down around the pillar of light.
The secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion all sat on the ground, but Ningguang reacted the fastest and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
The surrounding businessmen, foreign tourists, and ordinary local people finally whispered.
"Anping, what's wrong?"
Paimon, who was sitting on Anping's neck, whispered close to Anping's ear and asked.
"When the Emperor comes... Slippery feet? ”
Anping wasn't sure, but this was probably the most effective one in Liyue's 3,600-odd years.
The emperor is still lying on the altar, and it seems that he has fallen a lot.
Squatting in front of the emperor's immortal body, Ning Guang examined, and when the results appeared in her heart, she was psychologically strong and lost her mind for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, Ningguang took a deep breath and quickly made a decision.
"The Emperor is killed! Lock down the scene! ”
When Ningguang turned to announce this, the older Liyue people fainted and fell to the ground.
The foreign tourists were in an uproar, and the locals were in disbelief and stood still, including Anping, the faithful imperial chef.
"What's going on? Could it be that the rock god... Die... He's dead?! ”
Paimon also looked shocked.
"Impossible! Even if the sky falls, I don't believe that the emperor will die! It doesn't have to be the emperor's immortal body, there must be something wrong with this! ”
The faithful Emperor Chef Anping didn't even believe what he had seen, and his brain was now in disarray, both as a conspiracy of the Fatui and as part of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
The reason why he was still suspicious of Liyue Seven Stars was because he remembered the question Keqing had asked him earlier.
If one day, the Emperor will no longer be able to protect Liyue...
Wouldn't that be too coincidental.
As the order to blockade the scene was issued, more and more Millelith troops rushed into Yujingtai from all directions.
"Oh no, the Millelith are checking for suspicious people who have been too close to the scene, and... We seem to be suspicious people who are too close to the scene?! ”
Paimon saw several Milleliths walking towards them, and nervously grabbed Anhei's hair.
"Don't worry, I'm a Liyue person, how can I be..."
Before An Ping finished speaking, he saw a very familiar Qianyan Jun, who should have been following Keqing two days ago, came to Ningguang's side and pointed at him and whispered.
Ningguang's sharp eyes fell on An Ping.
Anping glanced at himself, still in the same Mondstadt suit.
And two days ago, he was wearing this suit and was regarded as a suspicious element in Yujingtai.
I should have changed into a Liyue outfit.
But now it seems too late.
"God may be the enemy of the past, and I cannot fall into the hands of the believers of the other side. Anping, do you want to stay here to explain or run away with me first? ”
Ying is ready to slip away.
"You run away first, I'll help you delay."
Anping hesitated between escaping or staying, and finally decided to stay.
This matter is strange everywhere, An Ping doesn't believe that the emperor will die like this, but Ningguang's reaction also makes him very concerned, he wants to take a risk.
He wanted to see Ningguang and investigate the emperor's immortal body up close.
"Well, you have to protect yourself."
Ying nodded, blended into the crowd, and quietly left with Paimon while Yujingtai had not yet been completely surrounded by the Millelith Army.
"Where's your accomplice!?"
The commander of the Millelith Army, who had just talked to Ningguang, walked up to An Ping, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he asked viciously.
"What accomplices? Can't you tell I'm a native of Liyue? ”
An Ping retorted angrily.
"Let's chase after her, she won't be able to escape far in such a short time!"
The captain gave the order, and the two teams quickly chased in the direction where Ying left.
"Wait!"
An Ping shouted, originally wanted to attract the attention of this group of Millelith Army and then said that he would buy time for Ying, but the embarrassing thing was that there was no Millelith Army willing to listen to him at all.
Anping's delayed plan came to naught.
"You be honest with me, follow me to see Lord Ningguang!"
It was the first time that the law-abiding Anping was grabbed by the arm of the Millelith Army and controlled, if he hadn't heard him say that he was going to take him to see Ningguang, he would definitely have directly fought back to attract Ningguang over.
However, it saved a lot of trouble, at least it gave him one less charge of attacking the Millelith Army.
The captain of the Millelith Army brought Anhei to Ningguang.
"Let him go, and then let the Millelith Army who chased after him come back first, and it is more important to maintain order on the scene."
Ningguang gave an order that the captain couldn't understand.
Didn't you tell me to bring them both to you?
But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it, just do it, and he has no right to question Ningguang's instructions.
Anping moved his muscles and bones, looked at Ningguang calmly, and waited for her to speak.
"I've heard about your presence in Mondstadt, and the letters exchanged between the Acting Master of the Knights of Favonius and me are also very kind of to you. Anping, since you have almost single-handedly tracked down the Fatui stronghold in Mondstadt, rescued the members of your fleet, and shattered many of the Fatui's plans, why don't you come and help us Seven Stars find the murderer of the Emperor this time? ”
Ningguang's words were full of information.
But Anping only has one thing to confirm now.
"The Emperor is really... He's dead? ”
"Even I can't believe it, but that's what happened. At this distance, can you feel any breath in the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor Dharma? ”
Ningguang turned to the side slightly, and An Ping's gaze fell on the immortal body that the emperor had fallen.
The immortal body can be faked, but the majesty condensed by the years and the earth-shaking power in the body cannot be forged, and this is undoubtedly the emperor's immortal body.
There was no breath at all.
The Emperor, he is probably dead.
