Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 328 Correct usage of the seven-day idol

Wangshu Inn is isolated on Dihuazhou. If it weren't for the constant traffic of merchants, even if the lanterns come on one after another at night, it would still make people feel cold, like a fishing lantern floating on the sea.

Holding an umbrella, Ying followed Zhongli and rushed towards the Shimen far away from the inn.

Normally speaking, Liyue Port is in the south, and if you want to take a shortcut to return to Liyue, the general direction should also be south.

And the behavior of the three of them heading northwest also echoed that old saying of Liyue.

Contrary to each other.

In particular, Zhong Li avoided the official road and passed by the cliffs and the weed-covered marshes. In addition to the light rain, the walking was not to mention how troublesome.

In the dozens of miles the three of them passed through, all kinds of monsters emerged one after another, and there were slimes and cheating flowers everywhere.

Although they are not a threat to Ying and Zhongli, but if they meet merchants or ordinary people who travel to Liyue, they will be a huge threat.

On weekdays, Li Mandrill's task is to wipe out monsters and protect pedestrians traveling to and from Dihuazhou, but at this time, the Great Sage Conquering Demons who guards Dihuazhou is probably also in Qunyu Pavilion.

Ying carefully placed the warm red spar that Famas gave her next to her body, and kept looking at Zhongli's face on the road.

I don't know why, but the girl always feels that Zhongli tonight is not the same as usual, it seems that she lacks a detached temperament, as if she is more like an ordinary Mr. Ke Qing, rather than some kind of unattainable existence.

Especially the golden luster in those pupils was not as strong as before, only indifferent and calm, no different from the past.

After continuing to walk a long way forward, Zhongli brought Ying and Paimeng to a remote mound.

Outside the mound is full of ruins and wildly growing weeds. It looks like a place where no one has set foot for a long time.

However, in the center of the land, there stands a statue of a rock god with a solemn posture.

Morax on the statue is wearing a half-length robe and a hood over his head, sitting barefoot on a throne made of condensed rocks, holding a stone cube symbolizing the power of rock elements in his right hand, lowering his head in thought, unable to see his face clearly.

Fresh tributes were placed under the statue of the Seven Heavens, and many unknown reddish wild flowers bloomed around them, swaying gently with the humid breeze from Dihuazhou.

Ying never thought that in such a remote place, there are still people enshrining the statue of the Seven Heavens.

When the three of them came under the statue, Zhongli looked around and sighed softly.

This place used to be the main road connecting Guiliyuan and Qingcezhuang. Thousands of years ago, the disciples of Guizhong and Guhua sect led the ancestors of Guiliji to meet the Chilong's attack here.

Even though thousands of years have passed, the corpses of the defeated who once spread all over the wilderness have been buried in dust, and the peaceful years seem to have healed the devastated past, but Zhongli still remembers the war thousands of years ago.

Chi is different from other demon gods, its purpose seems to be only to kill life.

The more corpses and blood flowed in the fields, the more excited and mad the chilong became.

So the emperor suppressed Chilong in the most cruel way, sealed it according to the number of five elements, and finally made Qingcezhuang a peaceful and peaceful place for health preservation.

"Traveler, we still need to borrow the Hundred No Taboos talisman for this matter."

Zhong Li caressed his chin, looked at the statue for a while, then turned to ask the traveler for a talisman.

Ying was fascinated by looking at the majestic statue of the seven heavens, but she didn't realize it for a while. After Zhongli lightly coughed twice to remind her, she suddenly realized and rummaged through her body for a hundred no taboos.

"Huh? I remember putting it in my pocket?"

Under Zhongli's gaze, the girl searched through the pockets of her white skirt, but couldn't find the talisman that was kept next to her.

"Hey!"

"Ying, there is no taboo talisman with me!"

At this moment, Paimeng, who had been quiet for a rare moment, spoke, took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Li, with his head held high, arms crossed triumphantly, waiting for their praise.

As for Zhong Li, he looked at the crumpled paper ball in his palm and remained silent.

In his memory, the residents of Liyue regarded the talisman of no taboos as a keepsake of the emperor, and because of its scarcity, anyone who was lucky enough to get even half of it, even if it was incomplete, would enshrine it like a treasure.

Zhongli still remembered that when Dadalia "borrowed" the talisman of no taboo in the teahouse on the rock, he also carefully protected the box containing it in his bosom, for fear that the talisman paper would be damaged in the fight.

Today, this hundred taboo talisman seems to be no different from ordinary yellow paper in the eyes of Paimon and Traveler.

"Cough, Mr. Zhongli, such a no-taboo talisman...is it still usable?"

Greeting Paimeng who was still proud, he grabbed the round face of the emergency food and asked a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's all paper anyway..."

Pai Meng, who was being held in the arms of the girl, wanted to speak hard, but Zhong Li frowned and unfolded the talisman paper. After confirming that the runes drawn with cinnabar had not been smeared, he nodded helplessly.

"Indeed, although there are some wrinkles, it is not unusable."

Zhongli's fingertips lit up with the brilliance of the rock element, and the pale yellow talisman floated up from the emperor's palm automatically without wind.

"Traveler, please hold my hand."

The dark yellow rock light became more and more dazzling, and Zhongli extended his right hand to Yingying as if inviting him.

The girl didn't ask any more questions, she pulled Paimon, and tightly grasped Zhongli's strong and warm palm.

The light suddenly expanded, enveloping the Seven Heavens God Statue and the three of them.

As far as the eyes can see, it is full of brilliant and mysterious light.

"Don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."

Zhongli's voice came.

As a seasoned traveler, Ying also has a peculiar intuition when facing danger, but at this moment, the light brings her only a calm and firm touch.

As the statue radiated light, Ying's mind gradually appeared a continuous extension of the earth's veins, and countless invisible nodes connected with the location of the statue of the seven heavens, extending in all directions.

In a trance, Ying felt that her body seemed to have turned into a rainbow of pure white elemental power and merged into the statue.

As if it was just an instant, when the girl came back to her senses again, the wild flowers and the surrounding ruins disappeared without a trace, and the three of them appeared beside the rock god statue on Guiliyuan.

"During the Demon God War, some soldiers used the emperor's tokens to communicate with the seven-day god statues and moved short distances for quick support or retreat."

"But the keepsakes are rare, and the method of responding to the statue is also lost in a long time."

"In the end, no one knows how to use the statue of the Seven Heavens."

Zhong Li put the tarnished Bai Wu Taboo talisman under the pedestal of the statue, and cast his eyes on the hanging stone not far away, as well as the clear view of the pond and the talisman on the steps to pray for good weather.

The rain has weakened, and only a little cloud and mist are still lingering in the mountains. The wooden pontoon bridge stretches from the end of the road and is embedded in the mountain wall not far away.

Going forward, it is Liyue Port.

Ying recalled in her mind the leylines and roads that appeared in an instant, silently listened to Zhongli's explanation, and put away her umbrella.

"Then... Zhongli, why throw away such a convenient thing?"

Little Paimeng hurriedly flew to the side of the statue, trying to take back the talisman of no taboos that Zhongli had put down.

But when she touched the talisman of no taboos, the talisman paper that had remained intact immediately scattered into fly ash and was blown into the soil by the wind.

"Eh?!"

The emergency food was taken aback. He looked at Ying and Zhongli beside him, waved his hands repeatedly, and stammered his excuse: "No, it's none of my business. As soon as I touch it..."

"Don't worry, there is not much divine power of the emperor left in the book of no taboos, and it will dissipate when it is exhausted."

"This is also one of the reasons for the scarcity of tokens."

An imperceptible smile rose from the corner of Zhongli's mouth, he nodded as expected, and then took the lead in heading towards Xuanshi.

"Let's go, go back to Liyue Port first."

"If there is a destiny, I will naturally find more tokens about the emperor in the future."

Hearing this, Ying hurriedly followed Zhongli who was leading the way, and of course Paimeng saw the smile on Zhongli's face, and muttered and complained:
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooery

"Be sure to give you an ugly nickname!"

"Well, let's just call it a waste of society who eats for nothing and asks others to pay for it!"

Zhongli naturally heard Paimon's murmurs, but he didn't care too much.

However, what a few people didn't expect was that using the statue of the Seven Heavens to rush on their way, they just missed Huai'an and Jiang Xue who led the team from Wangshu Inn to Qingcezhuang, as well as the alchemist family and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce who had already entered Guiliyuan member.
