Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 118: Why not just call him Leng Feng!
After walking out of the cave, Zhongli re-sealed the entrance of the cave. Although part of Ruo Tuo's wear and tear has been absorbed now, which can keep part of Ruo Tuo's consciousness sane, the original body is still very dangerous.

Everyone returned to Liyue, Sasuke put on the mask of the Fools again, and Paimon hid in Sasuke's backpack again.

Zhongli handed Kun Jun, who was still in a coma, to the patrolling Qianyan Army, and then led the group back to the Hall of Purity.

If the newly emerged Ruo Tuo wants to live legally in Liyue, he needs a reasonable identity.

Then the new employees of the Rebirth Hall are perfect.

The Hall of Rebirth itself is not a good place in the eyes of most passers-by. After all, no one would like to go to the funeral parlor for fear of being contaminated with bad luck.

After customizing a set of uniforms for the Rebirth Hall for Ruo Tuo, Zhongli said to Ruo Tuo:

"My current identity is just an ordinary Liyue person, so from now on, just call me by my current name, Zhongli."

"Yes, Morax."

"..."

"Hahaha, okay, Zhongli, but I still prefer to call you by your previous name."

Ruo Tuo laughed out loud, now that he was able to fight side by side with Zhong Li again, it obviously made him feel relaxed and happy, and even made a joke.

Zhong Li also laughed, but still added:

"I planned my own suspended animation, so it's better not to use this name as much as possible."

"You should also think of a new name for your current self, which will be more convenient."

Ruo Tuo stroked his chin and began to meditate.

Wendy poked her head in at this time and said:

"Bads are the best at picking names, old man, Dragon King Ruo Tuo, would you like to hear my opinion?"

Then, Wendy didn't even wait for Zhongli to respond. Wendy continued on her own:

"Choosing this kind of name is very particular. It is best to choose a name that is related to the previous name, but opposite. Look at Ruo Tuo. If the homophony of hot does not sound right, then choose an antonym of cold."

"Tuotongtuo gives people a dull feeling, so let's take the opposite meaning of Feng. Why not just call Ruotuo's new name Leng Feng? How about that?"

This involves the homophony of different world pronunciation, which is difficult for Sasuke to understand, but when he heard the term Leng Feng, what appeared in front of Sasuke was a sharp weapon.

"Good suggestion, Barbatos, but the name sounds too sharp, and my body is still being sealed. What this body carries is only my previous knowledge. Damage, so I’d better call it Gnosis.”

"Smart?"

Wendy quickly thought clearly about the profound meaning and took a deep look at Ruo Tuo.

"Oh? It seems that you are very ambitious this time."

Ruo Tuo smiled and said nothing.

"Okay. Although I didn't attend the funeral of my old friend during this trip to Liyue, I got a lot of unexpected gains. It can be considered a worthwhile trip."

Wendy stretched her waist, and then walked towards the door of the Hall of Rebirth.

"It seems that the old man still has a lot of arrangements of his own. Now that your matter has been resolved, I will not stay in Liyue any longer. After all, it may affect your plans, old man, so I will go back first."

Zhongli got up, came to the door, and personally opened the door of the Hall of Rebirth for Wendy.

"Thank you very much for your help this time. I owe you a favor. After the incident is over, I will bring some good wine and visit Mondstadt in person to thank you."

"Oh? Can we finally drink together again? Although it's just the two of us...but it's not bad, so I'll just look forward to it."

Wendy said goodbye to Pimon Zuosuke, walked out of the room, and left gracefully.

With Wendy's departure, the entire Rebirth Hall seemed to be a lot cleaner.

Zhongli made tea for himself, Sasuke and Ruotuo.

"Now that Ruo Tuo's matter has been resolved, the next thing to do is Liyue's matter."

Zhong Li took a sip of tea.

"Uchiha Sasuke, because this is related to another contract of mine, I can't reveal too much. I just hope you can do me another favor."

"Because of the sudden incident of Ruotuo's seal, the previous plan was disrupted, so a certain degree of redress is needed. I hope you can help and maintain your previous identity. A person who was wronged because of the Immortal Ceremony , thus being used by fools.”

"I need you and the young master to continue to advance his plan and hold the ceremony of sending immortals."

Sasuke nodded.

If he didn't understand the purpose of Zhongli's fake death before, he had some guesses after getting a glimpse of Dragon King Ruotuo's memory and what he had seen along the way.

It's still about wear and tear.

Any life will wear out and deteriorate in the long river of time, the powerful Dragon King Ruo Tuo is like this, and so is Zhong Li.

So he is delegating power now.

Without his intervention and Ruo Tuo's seal, Liyue would have been in chaos at this time as it progressed according to Young Master's plan. The immortals pursued the faults of Liyue's seven stars, while the fools took the opportunity to attack, and all the pressure was put on Liyue. The current center of power is Liyue Qixing.

If the Liyue Seven Stars can handle this catastrophe well, then they are Liyue's qualified successors. As the rock god, he can completely delegate power, and instead live in Liyue Port as a human being.

But the original plan was disrupted by him. Because of him and Wendy, the immortals of Liyue had already guessed that the Rock God hadn't passed away, and there was a high probability that they would not choose to make a big fuss, so the pressure on Liyue Seven Stars would be reduced.

Therefore, Zhong Li's plan to promote the young master is to increase the pressure of fools on Qixing.

It's just that he can now absorb and alleviate the wear and tear. It seems that Zhongli doesn't have to retire because of the wear and tear?Continue to lead Liyue to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Sasuke told Zhong Li his thoughts, and the other party said with a smile:

"You can indeed alleviate the wear and tear, but you will have your own affairs after all, and you can't stay in Liyue forever."

"And one day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates. You have completed your duties. You have worked hard. Now go and rest."

"At that time, I stopped for a long time among the people passing by, and kept asking myself, have my duties been fulfilled?"

"I have been protecting them before, but if one day I really leave, will they be able to keep going?"

"Liyue needs to start a new era, an era where the rule of the gods is changed to the rule of man."

"In fact, in theory, Ruoduo Dragon King should also be a test left to them, but it is still a bit beyond the scope for them now."

At this time, Lingzhi said in a somewhat stern voice:

"Mo...Zhongli, do you mean that if there is no Uchiha Sasuke this time, I will still be part of your plan?"

"You bastard... Forget it, I'd better go build weapons for little brother Sasuke."

After saying that, he also walked out of the Hall of Purity.

PS: Let’s talk about the reason why Ruotuo is called Lingzhi, which is a slightly feminine name. One thing that needs to be made clear first is that the background system of the original god refers to Gnostic mythology.

(The strange pronunciation of "Ruo" in rě generally only appears in Buddhist scriptures, such as "Prajna rě". The pronunciation of "Ruo" is /ia/ in Middle Chinese, and it is generally used to transliterate Sanskrit jā in Chinese, or ā in Pali. "Prajna" (Middle Chinese /puɑnia/) is translated from Pali paā and its corresponding Sanskrit prajā.

According to this Sanskrit-Chinese antiphonal rule, "Ruotuo" /ia dɑ/ should correspond to Sanskrit jāta, or to Pali āta. "Tuo" is a voiced sound in Middle Chinese, and it is generally only used to translate the voiced sound da or dha in Sanskrit.However, if t is sandwiched between two vowels, it will be voiced by the influence of vowels, and it becomes pronounced like d.Therefore, if ta follows a vowel, it will be translated with "Tuo", such as "Amitabha" amita.

jāta is an adjective meaning "known".A related noun is jāna, which means "knowledge."In Buddhist scriptures, it is generally transliterated as "Jana" or translated as "wisdom".

jāna has an ancient Greek cognate: γνσι gnosis, and an English cognate: knowledge.All three mean "knowledge" and all come from a common ancestor, the Proto-Indo-European root neh-.Note how similar jā-, gno- and know are.

Gnosis is generally translated as "gnosis" in the Gnostic context.In fact, Gnosticism is named after this, so it is sometimes called "Gnosticism".The ultimate pursuit of the Gnostics is to obtain gnosis.Gnosis is not ordinary knowledge, but a kind of ultimate knowledge about the nature of things that transcends material nature.Gnostics believed that only by gaining gnosis could one be saved, and that gnosis was salvation itself. )
So here Ruo Tuo changed his name to Lingzhi after experiencing Sasuke's ability to relieve wear and tear, and he has great ambitions.
