The way to the Seven Heavens Statue is the same as the way to the Wangshu Inn, and since the distance is only one-third of the way to the Wangshu Inn, the time spent on the road is much shorter.

Passing under the ornate gatehouse of Liyue Harbor, the morning sun slowly rises over the sea in the east, and the shadow of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion looms in the hazy morning fog in the distance. Hawkers carrying fresh fruits and vegetables hurried to their feet, and there were a few sounds of frolic, and the entire Liyue Harbor seemed to wake up from a night's sleep.

"If you're tired of walking, there's a remote inn ahead of you." Zhongli looked at the young man who was gradually slowing down, and his voice was as calm as ever.

"Hah, look over there." Yun Mubai stopped and pointed to the Guyun Pavilion in the east, his tone was slightly raised, with a little show-off, "The sun seems to be embedded in the groove of the cliff of the Guyun Pavilion. ”

As he was speaking, it was indeed dark in front of him, and Zhongli raised his hand to block the young man's sight, "Don't look directly at the sun again." ”

Yun Mubai blinked, feeling the eyelashes lightly touching Zhongli's glove, and the mood of not getting the due response was slightly low, and the corners of his mouth were slightly straightened.

"Okay...... I see. ”

"But you're right." Blocking Yun Mubai's gaze, he raised and rubbed the top of the young man's black hair, Zhongli's voice was a little smiling, "Although I often look at the isolated island in the sea, I have never paid attention to the scenery there. Lonely Cloud Pavilion is not a landscape for me, but I have seen a different scenery today. ”

Yun Mu's white eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his mood suddenly became happy. However, when he thought of the subtext in Zhongli's mouth that was not a landscape, he also shook his head understandingly, "But knowing that there is a living demon god down there, I probably won't think of any scenery at first." ”

"This should be the Liyue proverb 'familiar places have no scenery'" Yun Mubai raised his arm and patted Zhongli's shoulder, shaking his head and saying, "Mr. Zhongli, it seems that you still have a lot to learn. ”

"Well, that's a good suggestion." Zhongli touched his chin and looked back from the deep sea of Lord Lone Cloud, "It seems that you have learned Liyue culture very well recently. ”

"Teacher Zhongli taught well."

The journey with Zhongli was very easy, Zhongli did not have the murderous aura of Shenhe to eliminate evil, nor did he have the simplicity of plucking the feathers of the traveler geese, if he met hilichurls and slimes along the way, he would take Yun Mubai to bypass, and it would not affect the original living state of those monsters.

So the two of them came to the statue of the Seven Heavens refreshed, and saw Sora and Shenhe each bowing their heads, focusing on wiping and maintaining their weapons, and Paimon in the middle of the two counted the loot in one place, looking like a treasure poacher who had just returned from looting.

Shenhe and Kong heard the sound of Yun Mubai walking towards and stepping on the blades of grass, and at the same time stopped his movements and raised his head.

"Yo, you're late!" Paimon collected the loot and stuffed it into the empty package, crossed his waist triumphantly, his round little face tilted up, and announced in a soft voice, "Paimon is number one!" ”

After saying that, Paimon looked at Sora and Shenhe behind him, and saw that they didn't mean to object, and he immediately became happy again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because the scenery on the road is very beautiful, so I can't help but enjoy it for a while."

“…… Is there any difference between today's journey and yesterday's? Paimon scratched his head in confusion.

"Ahh Paimon grumbled, her attention quickly shifting, and she raised her hand to point to the tall statue standing beside her, "Hurry up, Traveler and Shenhe have already made the incense that needs to be offered yesterday, let's give it to the Rock King Emperor." ”

Yun Mubai leaned over curiously, and watched as Sora took out three boxes of delicate-looking balms from the package, and placed them under the tall statue one by one. Paimon didn't seem to remember the classification of the three balms, and he stumbled and gave up completely.

“…… In short, the first box is what little girls like, the second box is the most of the rich daughters, and the third box is a mature big sister, eh? ”

Just after the third box of balm was empty, the original stone statue suddenly flashed a streamer, and the originally elegant and ethereal aura of the balm spread, staining everyone present.

"What is this?" Yun Mubai was stunned, subconsciously raised his wrist to smell the faint fragrance of the cufflinks, and turned back to find Zhongli as soon as possible.

"It seems...... The emperor is the third balm of choice. Zhongli's expression did not change, and he nodded calmly.

"So Emperor Rock is actually a mature big sister?"

Zhongli pondered for a while, glanced up at Yun Mubai, and then replied noncommittally, "...... Perhaps, what do you think? ”

"Valkyrie, she should be handsome, right? Must be more handsome than Fcarus! Yun Mubai repeated it emphatically, and then quickly shook his head, "No, the point is not this!" ”

Yun Mubai had always thought that the process of sending the Immortal Ceremony was just a formality, so that the people of Liyue could gradually get out of the pain of losing the emperor from this tedious process, but ......

The stone statue flashed for a moment!

Although Yun Mubai felt that the existence of many things in this world was unscientific, such as gods...... But he never thought that Liyue's stones could light up.

"What's wrong?"

"Liyue's Stones...... The stone statue lit up. Looking around, he found that he was the only one who was surprised by this matter, Yun Mubai's tone suddenly became a little weak, "Could it be the authority of the Rock King Emperor?" ”

"Not really." Zhongli decisively denied Yun Mubai's speculation, and then slowly explained, "It's not that Liyue's stone statue is strange, but that the statue of the Seven Heavens is located on the node of the leyline, and it has been washed by the power of the leyline for many years, not only enriching a large amount of rock elemental energy, but also naturally showing some characteristics. Hearsay...... In ancient times, humans could teleport through these leyline nodes. ”

"It's amazing." Yun Mubai had never heard of these contents, and even if there were statues of the Seven Heavens of the Water God scattered everywhere in Fontaine, no one was curious about the statues.

Yun Mubai, who was attentive to the hearing, didn't notice that when Zhongli mentioned teleportation, his gaze swept casually over the empty space standing beside him, and the empty air was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhongli in surprise, and then lowered his eyes calmly and shut up.

However, after explaining the doubts clearly, Yun Mubai also relaxed......

I can't relax at all, so all the problems are explained by the strange phenomenon of the leyline?

Yun Mubai glanced up at the statue of the Seven Heavens God on the top of the statue that was said to be the Emperor of the Rock King, after a long time of wind and sun, the statue was mottled and damaged, and he could only vaguely see a sitting domineering and arrogant human figure.

"Valkyrie?" Yun Mubai's gaze stayed on the statue of the Seven Heavens, and a handsome woman wearing armor and holding a spear suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What do you think?" Zhongli's voice sounded in Yun Mubai's ears, his voice was soft, and it seemed to have some inducement, "Or...... Would you like Him to be a man? ”

Standing under the statue of the Seven Heavens God, Yun Mubai was still a little apologetic, he shook his head, "God, it's not up to me to decide. ”

"And what about your future partner?" Zhongli looked at the young man beside him, noticing that the other party's eyes were slightly wide because of his sudden words, like a frightened animal.

But the little creature didn't panic, but stunned for a moment and then glared at it without fear.

"Zhongli, do you have to talk about this topic in a place like this?" Yun Mubai gritted his teeth, but he was afraid of being heard by the other two, so he had to lower his voice, and asked in a low voice after approaching.

"As a guest of the Dead Hall, I am now appointed by our Hu Tao Hall Master to be fully responsible for these two ceremonies." Zhongli took a step back, and a sentence lightly dissolved Yun Mubai's anger, "The emperor's wedding dress is naturally to be prepared. ”

"This ...... But it's up to you. ”

Zhongli said it soundingly, but Yun Mubai clearly saw a shallow smile in his eyes.

The previous Zhongli didn't seem to be as emotionally exposed as it is now, strange?

The thought of doubt crossed Yun Mubai's mind, and soon turned into another indignant emotion. He was caught off guard and reached out to poke Zhongli's cheek, and spoke in the other party's slightly surprised gaze, "Mr. Keqing, are you very proud?" ”

"I'm afraid that Mr. Yun has misunderstood." Zhong left his mouth, but he didn't hide his happy mood at all, looked at Yun Mubai soft and warm, and then chuckled, "This is just a comprehensive consideration that I need to consider as the person in charge." ”

"So really let me choose? What you choose? Yun Mubai's toes moved, and his eyes rolled.

"Naturally, it's your wedding too, and everything should be as you wish." Looking at the obviously ill-intentioned appearance of the young man in front of him, Zhongli still nodded.

"Then I'm ......" Yun Mu crossed his waist and tilted his head to stare at Zhongli, "I don't want a man, and I don't want a woman." ”

"Huh?" Zhongli was stunned for a moment, his pupils dilated slightly, as if he was still wondering why the young man said this, but he saw Yun Mubai pointing north, which was the direction of Liyue Harbor.

"Male or female, the image of the Rock Emperor Morax in the hearts of the people of Liyue is not human."

"So, if I choose that kind of Rock Emperor, wouldn't it be more in line with the expectations of the people of Liyue?"

The young man looked at Zhongli triumphantly, his dark eyes sly and smart. Noticing that Zhongli was stunned for a long time and didn't answer, he suddenly felt that he had pulled back a game, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, and the smile on the corner of his lips was worth stopping.

"Ah, isn't it the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli who is in a dilemma?" Yun Mubai smiled and pretended to gesture.

"In terms of universal rationality, it is indeed a bit difficult." Zhongli nodded, "But...... It's not impossible to think about it. ”

Zhongli looked at Yun Mubai's golden pupils as if there was molten gold flowing slowly, and he muttered in a low voice, "This is beyond my expectations, you actually made a choice...... Dragon. ”
