In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

"Here is the scene. Heulia's body collapsed, leaving only a little trace of salt. The scene of dying is also frozen here."

Zhongli's voice echoed in the palace, constantly lingering and hitting his heart.

"The continuation of the story just now is: Some of her people finally realized that this kind but weak demon god can't protect anyone in a war."

"The war of the demon god is very cruel. Instead of letting her endure the torture after defeat, it is better to give her a relatively easy relief..."

The logic that normal people can't understand, Xia Tian's head is full of question marks, because he is afraid that she will be tortured, so he kills her with his own hands?What the hell?

Thinking about it carefully, many film and television dramas do seem to have such plots, but what kind of torture will the demon god suffer?It can't be anything, right?

The Rock King Dijun is not like that kind of person!

Thinking of this, Xia Tian glanced at Zhongli with doubts.

Wan Yan was in shock, without her interruption, Zhong Li could tell the story more smoothly.

"The statues of believers who have come along this way are caused by the death of the "Demon God of Salt". No matter how weak the Demon God is, the loss of power when he dies is beyond what a human body can bear. "

"Those who failed to escape all became like this."

"And the people of the God of Salt who have not suffered from this disaster left her territory, went to Liyue, and asked for the protection of the Emperor Yanwang."

"Their descendants are afraid of the demon god residue left by Heulia, afraid of the eternal curse she casts on them... So they risked their way back here, broke their swords and made offerings, hoping to appease the anger she left behind. "

"But in fact, they are unnecessary. How can this demon god who has not resisted until the end... be angry with his own people?"

The story is over.

Wan Yan's heart has never been shaken, but her devotion to the "Demon God of Salt" has not completely dissipated.

"I, I...Even if this is the case, I don't accept...scams, false history, everything..."

Wan Yan covered her head and staggered: "Don't try to shake... my faith!"

It is very difficult to convince by stories alone, that's why Zhong Li handed over the two broken sword pieces to Xia Tian.

"Empty words are really not convincing, so I brought my friend "Xiamen", you should have heard his name. "

Wan Yan stared blankly: "He...is Xia Tian? The hero who saved Liyue Port?"

Then he shook his head: "Even if it's him... I don't believe it!"

"I don't want you to believe him... His ability, although it can't let you re-witness everything in the past, may allow you to perceive Heulia's mood. You can see if there is any emotion in that emotion. There is a grudge against Morax."

Zhongli's eyes signaled that Xia Tian didn't know what to do, but it probably felt that after skin contact, there would be some kind of telepathic ability?

I don't know the reason, but I did this anyway, and the transfer was successful.

At the last moment, the Demon God of Salt, instead of resenting his subjects, felt guilty for not being able to rely on them.

He didn't resent other demon gods either, he was only grateful to Morax for taking in his remaining people.

……

Wan Yan is a devout believer, so she can naturally identify the authenticity of this emotion.

When the truth comes out, it is also the time when faith collapses.

Wan Yan ran away with tears streaming down her face.

"Looking at her appearance, I'm afraid she will continue to waver for a while... However, even if she can't be relieved immediately, it's not bad if she just recognizes the reality."

There was only Zhongli and himself around, so there was no need to hide their identities, and asked: "You are so familiar with the experience of the "Salt Demon God", isn't it just hearsay? "

"The demon god's disintegration does not happen overnight. Since she can store her emotions in the utensils, she can naturally transmit them to my dreams."

"What about the seal here? Did she ask you to seal it?"

"It wasn't her will, but it was what I did... Long, long ago, Heulia's story was also a warning to me."

Zhong Li put the broken sword back on the booth, and reunited the smashed sculptures of believers with rock elements, and then said: "It is really no good to believe in a god that has passed away... Whether it is the belief in Heulia , or belief in Morax, it's all the same."

Looking up at the dark sky in the secret realm, he seemed to have a deep feeling: "Liyue people will understand one day."

Listening to the emotion in his words, it is true that he intends to say goodbye to his status as "Emperor of the Rock", rather than simply "wandering in the world".

On the way out of the secret realm, Zhong Li suddenly thought: "Speaking of Demon God, it reminds me of an old friend, maybe I should visit him."

The rock kings who are more than 6000 years old say they are old, so how old is that?

Xia Tian was surprised: "Is it also the demon god who was killed?"

"No, he's still alive."

"Huh? In Liyue? A demon god who is still alive?" Xia Tian couldn't hide his surprise. Are there demon gods buried everywhere with Liyue?

"It's not the real demon god... let's not mention him for now, thank you for coming here with me, can you tell me about your business? You should have something to ask me, right?"

"exactly."

After making soy sauce for a day, I almost forgot about the business.

Xia Tian didn't procrastinate, and directly stated: "Ning Guang wants you to be a "Tianshu Xing". "

Even Zhongli, who was used to seeing big scenes, was surprised. He didn't expect Ningguang to have such an idea.

After the shock, he smiled and said, "No."

"Didn't you say that if I accompany you through this journey, you will think about it?"

Xia Tian was angry, he wasted precious time with his wives, and came to this "Salt of the Earth" to be a tool to convey emotions, what good things did not get, and the only request was rejected?

If you don't say "consider" first, but directly refuse, the ghost will accompany you to "archaeology"!

Zhong Libai knew he was playing a scoundrel, and played a human word game.

"I said I would consider it, but I didn't say I would agree. "

"For the gods, "will consider" means to agree! "

"But for human beings, "will consider" is usually equivalent to "don't consider"... I am "Guest of the Past Life Hall Zhongli", not "Emperor of the Rock Morax". "

"!!!"

I * you fairy board board.

Chapter 815 The Scar on the Instep

"Nice idea, but not working."

This is Zhongli's final answer.

It is conceivable to be rejected. After all, Xia Tian also felt that it was not good at the beginning, but the reason given by Ningguang was good, so he lobbied with the mentality of giving it a try.

In the same way, he explained those reasons.

For example, you don't have to do any work, and you can continue to be the guest secretary of the Pastoral Hall...

For example, you can receive a monthly allowance to help Xiangsheng Church improve its finances...

For example, you can understand the daily life of the Liyue government when necessary, and promptly eliminate the corruption that will inevitably appear after a long period of human rule...

……

Zhongli's wandering in the world is not accidental, but because he really wants to travel the world as a mortal, so he is naturally learning and improving.

Although I still haven't developed the habit of bringing money with me when I go out, I am not as extravagant as before. When I spend money, I will consider the universal value of the object more, rather than just asking the price based on my own preferences.

After being taught by Walnut pointing to the bill, the stupid thing of buying an old stone with hundreds of thousands of moras before will not be committed again. It is just that there are too many hobbies, and the accumulated expenses are still quite a lot.

"It's true that just being named "Tianshu Star" won't have much impact on my plan. I can indeed act as Ningguang wishes, as someone who only occupies the position of Seven Stars and doesn't care about government affairs...whatever you said The benefits, and it can indeed alleviate some of my worries at the moment..."

Zhongli agrees with all the reasons Xia Tian listed, but he still refuses. There is only one reason: "But what I foresee from it is the disadvantages that are contrary to my ideas and the ideas of the rule of man and the commonwealth."

"Is it that serious?" After thinking about it, Xia Tian couldn't understand Zhong's worry.

The two walked away from the ruins, and saw the seven stars gradually lighting up in the sky.

Zhongli explained.

"A term of Seven Stars has a term of at least 20 years without making mistakes. If there is a "Tianshu Star" who has not shown up for 20 years and never demonstrated authority, the final result will only be forgotten..."

"It doesn't matter to me, but what about "me" next?It is not so easy for the "Tianshu Star" who has been reduced to a puppet to regain his rights..."

"If I agree to your request, the successive "Tianshu Stars" will become irrelevant existences in the future, and the check and balance system of the Seven Stars will also collapse... This is not allowed. "

"The existence of the seven-star system is to check and balance each other, so as to prevent one side from becoming bigger. If the people in Liyue don't know that there are other seven stars, then what's the point of the existence of this system?"

"..."

Zhongli's words suddenly enlightened Xia Tian, ​​and he realized that it was pointless to continue persuading him. He also believed that after hearing these reasons, Ningguang would give up the idea of ​​making Zhongli a "Tianshu star".

It's just that Xia Tian can't help worrying.

"The problem now is that the next Tianshu star will most likely be a puppet, even if it is not you, it will be someone else... If you are worried about this, if you are worried that the seven-star system will collapse because of this, if the seven-star system really appears The problem has become a situation where Condensed Light dominates, will you intervene?"

Xia Tian believes in Ningguang's ability, and it is foreseeable that after the "Emperor Rock King" leaves, reforms in the era of rule of man will make Ningguang's power more and more powerful.

If Zhongli will intervene because of this, Xia Tian must take precautions first, not to let his wife be bullied.

Seeing vigilance in his eyes, Zhong Li smiled and shook his head: "No, since I abdicate, I want to see the era of human autonomy. If the final result is that the other seven stars bow their heads to Ningguang, it means they are convinced by Ningguang. The power of light..."

Perhaps the "god" who manipulated the sky specially cooperated with the overheard topic, so that a black cloud covered half of the seven stars, while the remaining few that were not covered became extremely bright under the support of the surrounding darkness.

The Tianquan star among them is even more like a shrunken sun, giving the earth luster...but no matter how shining the starlight is, it is just starlight.

"...It's just that Ningguang is only a human being. As long as she is a human being, she must have limits. She can't please everyone."

When Zhongli said this, he naturally had his inferences, and Xia Tian only cared about the "what if" result: "What if there is such a day?"

The strong wind came, the black clouds dispersed, the full moon lifted into the sky, and the starlight was covered by the bright white moonlight.

Zhong Li folded his arms, stood by the seashore, and listened to the waves of the raging sea: "As long as I don't see Liyue's collapse, I won't stop it. If Liyue is in danger of collapse, it doesn't matter whether it's because of the corruption of Seven Stars or the people. rebellion, or the invasion of other countries... I will protect a pure land."

What is reassuring is not only the weight of the rock, but also Zhongli's promise.

Xia Tian teased: "Although you said you have abdicated, you will still silently guard Li Yue!"

Zhongli re-sealed the "Salt of the Earth", his fingers passed over those ancient inscriptions, and he sighed with emotion.

"The land of Liyue carries thousands of years of history, among which are not only my creations, but also the last wishes of many friends..."

"Among Liyue's people, not only my people, but also many descendants of followers of other demon gods like Wan Yan..."

"I promised them that I would protect their people. This "contract" has already been established, so naturally I will not violate it. "

"..."

Therefore, the contract that terminated all contracts at the beginning was a bluff, and it was not actually a selected end.

It would be too irresponsible to completely deny everything in the past.

"This is the rock king the Liyue people believe in!"

Xia Tian stretched his limbs to warm up, and was about to go back: "That's it! I'll go back and report first..."

But I don't have time to take a leisurely stroll with the retired old man.

"Hold on."

"Ok?"

"I have a question, did Ningguang ask you to come to me?"

Xia Tian was stopped, wondering why he would ask: "Otherwise?"

"Based on my thinking about Ningguang, she may want to have an obedient "Tianshu Star", but if I really enter the "Yuehai Pavilion", even if I don't do anything, it will still affect her various actions. "Handling"? "

Zhong Li stroked his chin, thinking: "Is it really what she wants for Emperor Yan to enter Yuehai Pavilion?" "

"..."

Xia Tian didn't understand those things, but Ning Guang really wanted a candidate who was knowledgeable, famous, powerless, and happy to be at ease. Is there anyone more suitable than "Zhongli" in Liyue?

………………

………………

Back at Qunyu Pavilion, it was late at night again... I am afraid that those secretaries are also surprised, why they always come back in the middle of the night, and let Lord Tianquan have a good rest!

There is no need to notify, just enter the door directly, but you can't find Ningguang's graceful figure, only smell the moisture and fragrance in the room.

Qunyu Pavilion is Ningguang's private residence. The huge bedroom directly includes a couch and a bathroom, separated only by a screen.

The screen can block the sight of good intentions, but it can't block the sound of mist and water splashing on the skin, and the light shines on it, and the back of Nong Yiren is reflected on the screen.
