The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 225 Pretending to be dead and rumors
After a series of questions, Yae Shinto became increasingly silent, and Zhongli sighed.

Chen Tianfeng looked between the two of them, his brows slightly raised, "Mr. Zhongli, do you think we will be discovered when we pass through the thunderstorm?"

"Well, that thunderstorm is the manifestation of the authority and power of the God of Thunder. From a certain perspective, it can also be regarded as the gaze of the God of Thunder. It covers Inazuma, and there may be some omissions. If a mortal passes through this omission, there will naturally be no problem, but it is different for you, my friend."

Zhongli nodded and said, "I am worried that when you get close to a thunderstorm, it will cause some...stress reaction."

Now, this God of Thunder is born a warrior. He sits quietly in a pure land. If he suddenly realizes that a deadly danger has suddenly appeared in the thunderstorm area and is approaching Inazuma... then what will be his first reaction?
I think I should use all my strength to chop it down first.

And if Chen Tianfeng had already arrived in Inazuma, and was in a densely populated place like Inazuma City, then even if Chen Tianfeng revealed his aura and appeared clearly in the perception of the God of Thunder, he would not act rashly, but would calm down and take a look at what the danger was.

This makes it easy to deal with.

"I probably understand."

Chen Tianfeng twitched the corner of his mouth. Mr. Zhongli thought that he was too weak and that he would probably die from General Lei Dian’s panicked sword... and then drag the entire Teyvat to be buried with him.

He did not refute. After all, he had not recovered to his full potential, and even his resurrection was only halfway, with only a body but no soul. Since Zhongli thought he was weak, then he was weak. He was also protected by the God of War, which was a great fortune.

The walking dead Holy Spirit thought about it, and came up with a plan. He said confidently: "I can pretend to be dead - I will make sure that the God of Thunder can't see that I am actually alive."

"..."

Zhongli's lips moved, with mixed feelings. He really wanted to remind the dead snake in front of him that not only the God of Thunder could not tell that He was actually alive, but no god could tell that He was actually alive.

Because He Himself was dead! Even if He was half resurrected, He was still dead!

Chen Tianfeng coughed lightly, realizing that what he said earlier was not complete, and explained in detail: "Well, what I mean is that I can pretend to be dead... uh, by disguising myself in a certain state so that the God of Thunder cannot sense my breath - at least until I get close enough to Him."

“Tian Feng, how are you going to pretend to be dead?”

Ying looked at him, her golden eyes full of curiosity, her eyelashes slightly fluttering, she was extremely cute.

Paimon was concentrating on eating, occasionally looking up. Seeing that everyone's attention was not on the food, he had to take the trouble to help them eat it all.

"It's simple. Just prepare a coffin and I'll lie in it."

Chen Tianfeng's smile was filled with memories, as well as confidence and pride: "I'm very good at pretending to be dead and sneaking in."

In the world of the Holy Spirit, relying on force alone will not allow you to survive for long. If gods want to go further, they still need to rely on wisdom. For example, pretending to be dead and sneaking into the enemy camp, secretly eating the spoils of the enemy gods, and then taking advantage of their unpreparedness to give the enemy gods a hard time.

It can be said that the reason He can roam the world of the Holy Spirit is because of His wisdom, His people, and His ability to devour and absorb that far surpasses that of other gods.

But later, someone revealed his ability to play dead and disguise himself, so when the gods in the Holy Spirit World met the long-shaped god, they would repeatedly confirm whether he was really dead.

……

Daozuma City, Tianling follows it.

The current head of the Kujo family, Kujo Takayuki, was sitting beside a low tea table, boiling water and brewing tea with his movements being skillful and natural. When the tea fragrance filled the air, Kujo Takayuki poured a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of the person sitting opposite him: "Please."

The head of the Hiiragi family, Hiiragi Shinsuke, took the teacup, turned it in his hands, raised it to take a sip, and then put it down again: "Has the head of the Kujo family heard about it?"

Kujo Takayuki picked up the cup and drank the tea. The fragrance of the tea was clear, elegant and pleasant. He nodded with satisfaction, put the cup down, glanced at Hiiragi Shinsuke, continued to fiddle with the tea set, and asked casually, "What did you hear?"

"Of course it's about Narukami Taisha Shrine."

"Why, what did the chief priest do again?" "She quietly left Inazuma."

"..."

Kujo Takayuki paused and looked up at him: "Really?"

"Of course it's not false." Hiiragi Shinsuke smiled and said confidently, "Even though she hid it very well and kept it very secret, I am the Kande Bugyo who is in charge of many matters in and out of Inazuma, and I specifically keep an eye on the Narugami Taisha Shrine, so naturally she would not hide it."

Kujo Takayuki narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know where she went?"

"The ocean is so vast. Once she leaves the harbor and passes through a thunderstorm, who knows where she will go?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke shook his head and said, "However, if she had not changed her course, she would have gone to Liyue Harbor."

"Liyue Harbor...what is she doing there?"

Kujo Takayuki frowned slightly, his fingers unconsciously pinched the teacup and rubbed it subconsciously.

Some time ago, the Fatui didn't know what was wrong with them, and they withdrew from Inazuma cleanly and gave up all their interests. But it was also good, because with one less force, they would gain more.

Now in the Inazuma territory, the only ones who can oppose the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family are the stubborn brother and sister of the Kamisato family, and the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

As for the rebels on Kaigi Island...ha, they are just a minor problem.

Among them, the most difficult one is the Palace Master. No one can guess what kind of thoughts are hidden behind her smiling expression. All you know is that if you underestimate her, you will fall into her trap unknowingly and be used completely.

"Maybe he's going to ask for help?" Hiiragi Shinsuke guessed.

"Ask for help? What kind of help can she ask for in Liyue?"

Kujo Takayuki snorted coldly and said, "Could she be able to awaken the lost God of Rock, bring foreign gods to Inazuma, and force her way into the castle tower?"

how can that be!

Not to mention that the God of Rock is dead. Even if He was not dead, it would be a ridiculous and impossible thing for Yae, the son of God and the chief priest, to open the country's doors and allow foreign gods to enter Inazuma.

Hiiragi Shinsuke thought about it and nodded with a smile.

Even the palace chief would not do such a ridiculous thing.

"Forget it. No matter what she wants to do, it will be disadvantageous to us anyway."

Kujo Takayuki held the teacup in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Find a way to leak the secret to the rebels. Tell them that the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine has found an ancient weapon that can wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop and is on his way back."

He paused and suddenly smiled: "Don't the rebels always miss their gods? Then tell them that the ancient weapons found by the palace master were made from the remains of their dead gods."

Hiiragi Shinsuke was stunned for a moment, his expression slightly worried: "Master Kujo, such rumors involving gods..."

"It's just a dead demon god, what does it matter?"

Kujo Takayuki didn't care at all, and his expression was vaguely fanatical: "Even if the demon god comes back to life, what can it do? No matter whether it is a demon god or a human, they can't stop the general's thoughtless sword!"
