Chapter 474 Armpit
About half an hour later, Zhongli took the birdcage and left with other friends.
Si Bailu and Ye Lan also immediately looked away and bought a parrot from the impatient waiter.
Then he left the shop with Ye Lan and continued to follow Zhongli.
What the two of them didn't expect was that Zhongli did not continue deep into Liyue Port.
Instead, he turned around and headed north, leaving Liyue Port and heading straight towards the wilderness.
Yelan's eyes lit up, thinking that the other party was meeting someone.
Only Si Bailu noticed that there was a jar of wine in the other person's hand.
Several people followed quietly dozens of meters behind.
Yelan thought this distance was safe enough.
However, Si Bailu knew very well that they were probably always under Zhongli's surveillance.
After all, “God cannot be looked at directly.”
As long as your eyes fall on the other person, the other person will definitely notice it.
It's just a matter of whether the other party is willing to pay attention to it.
Although Si Bailu and Yelan didn't stare at each other all the time.
But even so, if you frequently cast your eyes on the other person, it is impossible for the other person to not notice it.
Zhongli continued to walk forward slowly, and did not stop until he reached the entrance of Guiliyuan.
He seemed to sigh softly, and then continued to walk to the ruins not far away.
Here, he finally put down the birdcage and wine in his hands.
And the starling in the birdcage also said at the right time:
"The journey will come to an end one day, there is no need to rush..."
From a distance, Si Bailu saw Zhongli taking out two white jade wine cups.
One of them was placed next to a glass lily that grew from a crack in the rock.
Then he poured a cup of pure and fragrant osmanthus wine into each of the two cups.
Zhongli put one hand behind his back and toasted to Liuli Lily with the other hand.
He took a sip of wine and looked up at the blue sky.
He stood there like a piece of wood, not moving for a long time.
Ye Lan, who was in the distance, looked at this scene with a look of doubt on his face:
"What is this guy doing? Paying homage to an old friend? But there are no tombstones nearby."
Si Bailu smiled and reminded the other party in a guessing tone:
"Is there a possibility that the person he paid homage to was not a human being?"
"Not a human being?" Ye Lan suddenly had an idea and looked at Si Bailu in surprise:
"You mean, what he paid homage to might be some kind of supernatural being?"
"Uh..." Si Bailu showed an awkward smile:
"Absolutely. But I think it's more likely to be the devil."
This further reminder made Yelan immediately look thoughtful:
"This is Guiliyuan. According to historical records:
"'Someone who has returned to the name of the Dust King and the Demon God has made friends with the Rock King...
"'In the end, he said to King Yan: "Now that I am away from home, all the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and we are returning to our hometown together. It is better to call us back to the original land."
"'The King of Rocks is said to be good. He got his name from the origin of Guili.'"
Speaking of this, Ye Lan showed a look of surprise:
"So, this guy is paying homage to the devil before he dies?"
Si Bailu secretly smiled happily.
He really deserves to be his second wife's special intelligence officer, and he really knows everything.
Of course, he would not give an overly positive answer, otherwise it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.
He just nodded lightly:
"As I expected."
Although her conjecture was recognized, Ye Lan soon showed doubts:
"But after all, he can be regarded as one of the ancestors of the people of Liyue.
"It's not incomprehensible for ordinary people to worship her...
"The only thing that puzzles me is that there is something wrong with the timing of Zhongli's worship.
“Usually, people usually pay homage to the deceased around the time of the Chinese New Year.
“But now it is late spring and early summer, and almost no one will come to pay homage to the deceased at this time.
"Not to mention this suspicious person...
"So, this guy probably knows the exact date of his death, right?
"Who the hell is he?!"
Si Bailu looked at Ye Lan and guessed the answer which was almost correct.
Then I was frightened by my own speculation, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
However, in order to guide the other party closer to the truth, Si Bailu gave his own "guess":
"Didn't you speculate that he was a deceased immortal?
"Perhaps this man witnessed the final fall with his own eyes!
"And he specially chooses such a day. Maybe he is a very good friend of Guizhi?"
Following Si Bailu's guess, Ye Lan was silent for a moment, and then her expression suddenly changed!
“The person who is rumored to have the best relationship with us in the end is the King of Rocks!
“There are even good stories about the two of them circulating among the people.
“And the previous incident of the emperor’s fall was later proven to be a farce.
"The real emperor is not actually dead...
"Judging from the time when this man appeared in Liyue and the time when the emperor fell...
"There seems to be some special connection...is it possible?"
Thinking of this, a certain guess that had appeared in Ye Lan's mind was increasingly confirmed!
"Could it be that...this is...the Emperor?"
Seeing Ye Lan's eyes asking for confirmation, Si Bailu suddenly smiled.
Seeing such a smile, Ye Lan instantly understood what it meant and stared at the man in annoyance:
"So you already know his true identity?"
Si Bailu shrugged noncommittally:
"I know, I know, but since the emperor doesn't want others to know that he is still alive.
"As an insider, naturally I can't tell you directly.
"What you know now is entirely your own guess and has nothing to do with me."
Looking at the man's expression of shirking responsibility, Ye Lan sighed helplessly.
However, she does believe in the results she witnessed and inferred more than the other person telling her directly.
"If he is really the Emperor, then I can understand why he would be related to the Fools."
Yelan stretched out, revealing her tender, hairless creaky nest.
The charming posture exudes a touch of charm.
It makes people want to put their nose to her armpit and touch her lightly...
But after all, I had a passionate night with Ningguang last night, and now I don’t have that urge anymore.
Yelan also put down her arms in time and looked at Si Bailu with a smile:
“This matter has come to an end, and it has put an end to my worries.
"In the final analysis, it was you who helped. Come on, can I buy you a drink when we return to Liyue Port?"
Si Bailu nodded and looked back at Zhongli again before leaving.
Suddenly, he saw Zhongli playing with a hexagonal object emitting golden light in his hand!
Si Bailu immediately stopped and grabbed Ye Lan's arm.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lan looked at the man in confusion.
Si Bailu smiled slightly: "Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying that, Si Bailu ran straight towards Zhongli in the distance under Ye Lan's surprised gaze.
When he came behind Zhongli, the latter did not look back at him, but just asked lightly:
"Before you leave, did you come to say hello to me?"
Chapter 475 The Lock of the World
Upon hearing this, Si Bailu immediately understood that he had guessed correctly.
