Hutao uses me to judge my performance

Fortunately, Hutao is pretty reliable in his work, so he took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Jiang Bai, the man who came back from the dead, I don't know if you have heard of it."

"Oh? Resurrected from the dead?" The young immortal's indifferent expression finally had other changes, revealing a rare curiosity.

"It's not accurate to say that. In short, I thought he was dead, but he was alive. After waking up, he didn't remember anything. Now he is staying with me in the Hall of Rebirth."

"This is rare." The young immortal rubbed his chin, obviously it was rare to see such a thing.

Hu Tao turned his head and introduced to Jiang Bai: "This is the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. I told you just now. This is the immortal who guards our Liyue. Be respectful, you know!"

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes in his heart when Hu Tao asked him to respect some words.

I didn't see how respectful you were!

"Just call me Mandrill." Instead of calling him the Great Sage of Conquering Demons, he prefers people he knows call him by his name.

"No, Mandrill!" Jiang Bai shouted halfway and changed his name, "Have you seen me before?"

He saw the indescribable expression on Mandrill's face just now.

Although he is a fairy and looks very cold, the image of this young man makes Jiang Bai completely unafraid, and with Hu Tao beside him, he is even more worthy.

Therefore, when dealing with this immortal, he treated ordinary people with the same attitude, and he didn't think lowly of himself because of his status.

Mandrill also likes Jiang Bai's attitude. He also doesn't like to see his mortals be obedient to him, or regard himself as a hope of saving his life.

In addition to his own reasons, the attitude of mortals towards him is also one of the reasons why he stays away from the world.

"I saw it once. I was passing by Tianheng Mountain and noticed someone was there at the statue in the suburb of Lisha, so I stopped and took a look."

Jiang Bai suddenly realized, "I just said how I felt someone was looking at me at the time, it turned out to be you."

"The shrubs you pruned are unforgettable." Mandrill searched for a long time before he found a suitable adjective.

It's not that he used euphemistic words, but it's really unforgettable.

"It's just repairing casually. If you like, I can repair the flowers and plants in this inn." Jiang Bai climbed up the pole.

"...No." Mandrill was silent for a while, then replied two words indifferently.

He discovered that this person, like Hu Tao, was the type he couldn't handle.

"Drill, do you usually stay in Wangshu Inn?" Jiang Bai was quite curious about this young immortal.

A thousand years may not seem like a long time, but it is actually a very long time.

As long as the dynasty changes, the vicissitudes of life turn into mulberry fields.

This immortal who has been guarding Liyue for more than 2000 years, I don’t know how many of his stories have been passed down, and how many of them are known to the world.

"Rest here occasionally."

"Then what do you usually do?"

"Deal with evil spirits, remove the pollution of the demon god, and kill the filth that grows from the residue of the demon god..."

Contrary to Jiang Bai's expectations, the immortal looked cold and intimidating, but in fact he was quite easy to talk to.

At least willing to answer his questions.

Chapter 48

"Has it been like this for so long?" Jiang Bai was very surprised.

Don't look at what he said is calm and clear, but everything in it is not simple.

If it has been going on for thousands of years like this, it would be too hard.

"Naturally." Mandrill looked normal and didn't think it was a big deal.

This is the contract he made with the emperor, and it is also the meaning of his existence.

"Didn't you think about taking a break? Didn't the Emperor Yan Wang let you rest?"

"Why should I rest? This is the contract I made with the emperor, and I must do my best. I only kill, and my life will eventually end in killing."

Mandrill said it was a matter of course.

Maybe it's because few people ask him these things, or maybe it's been too long since he has had such an equal communication with others, so he seldom talks a lot.

"Whether it's a human or an immortal, everyone needs to rest. If it keeps being like a tight rope, it will break sooner or later."

Jiang Bai is an outsider. He doesn't know what he has experienced, what happened, and what is the story between him and the rock god.

But he knows one thing, whether it is a human or a fairy, it will be tiring.

And tired, need rest.

Rest not only refers to the body, but also refers to the spirit.

Only with a good rest can we face the next battle with a full attitude.

"Jiang Bai is right, people can't be too tight." Hu Tao nodded in agreement with Jiang Bai's words.

The reason why the land of Liyue is so peaceful, and there are few dangerous monsters, is because there is such a demon-subduing sage, who cleans up those dangerous monsters day and night.

And the reason why she met Mandrill was also in the process of cleaning up monsters.

At that time, the monsters were dangerous, coming out of unknown cracks, and once injured, they would bleed continuously until they died.

Even for her, it was extremely difficult to deal with it, and she didn't dare to let the evil spirit get close at all.

At that time, Mandrill appeared and defeated those monsters in a devastating way.

Later, she met him several times one after another, and she became acquainted with Mandrill unilaterally, knowing that he usually rests here at Wangshu Inn.

"Monsters don't rest because of me, they rest." The young fairy's temperament was chilling, and his voice was as cold as a cold stone.

His duty is to kill demons, he can't stop, and he won't stop.

During the conversation, the maid Yuhua brought the dishes to the table.

Seeing that Mandrill was there, Yuhua was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, and walked away with a smile.

As an employee here, she naturally knew that there was a fairy living on the top floor of the inn, but this fairy didn't like to show up or make noise. It was really rare to be able to sit here and eat with Walnut today.

"Come here, your favorite almond tofu." Hu Tao pushed the almond tofu in front of Mandrill.

As far as she knew, the only favorite of this Great Sage Conquering Demons was this almond tofu.

Mandrill picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, the familiar smell hit him, and the cold expression on his face eased a lot.

Seeing that Mandrill was eating happily, she boldly expressed her thoughts.

"You can't think like that. There are a lot of talents in Liyue now. Whether it's dealing with evil spirits or cleaning up monsters, you can let us go. Otherwise, we will always live under your protection. Once you leave, Liyue will Suffering a major crisis, how will Liyue deal with it?"

Mandrill's hand holding the chopsticks paused, but it was only a pause.

Dijun will not disappear, but he will die one day.

After his death, Dijun should re-arrange someone to carry out his mission.

"As long as the emperor is here, Liyue will be fine."

His words were powerful, but they were also extremely ordinary. They were just stating a fact.

"But, what if the Emperor Yanwang is gone?" Jiang Bai first asked what Hu Tao was thinking.

It's no wonder he asked this question. It's really a big boss who wants to subvert the rule of the gods.

Although I didn't do anything now, just because I didn't do anything now doesn't mean I won't do anything in the future!

The moment he heard this, a cold light appeared in Mandrill's eyes, and the feeling of being targeted made Jiang Bai feel that he would be decapitated in the next second.

He quickly explained, "I mean, what if Dijun wants to retire? Want to take off the burden?"

"Will he feel tired after guarding Liyue for so many years?"

Mandrill was silent.

He didn't know what Dijun was thinking, and he didn't know whether Dijun felt tired during these thousands of years.

Therefore, he did not reply.

But Jiang Bai's words really pierced into his heart.

If Dijun wants to let go of the burden, and he is already dead, how will Li Yue deal with herself?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this..." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more deviated, Hu Tao quickly smoothed things over.

"We plan to go to Hulao Mountain to find a treasure called Sifang Zhenpo. I don't know which true monarch lives on Hulao Mountain?"

Walnut asked her own question.

She came to Wangshu Inn mainly to find Mandrill, and wanted to ask him if there was any way for them to meet the immortals. If there were one or two tokens, it would be the best.

As a result, the topic was taken by Jiang Bai without knowing where it went.

"True Monarch Lishui and Stacked Mountains."

"Is there any way to meet him?" Hu Tao showed expectant eyes.

"If you have a talisman made by the emperor, you can directly ask the cave to meet him and make requests to him."

The talisman of no taboos was cast by the emperor back then, and taking out this talisman can please the immortal family.

"I don't know if that kind of old thing is still there now. Even if it is, it will not be sold as a family heirloom..." Hu Tao encountered a difficulty, and this method is equivalent to being impossible.

"Is there any other way for us to meet him?"

Mandrill thought for a while, and used his immortal power to condense a crystal butterfly, "This is my token, and it will allow you to see him. As for how to obtain the true soul of the four directions after seeing him, it's up to you."

Hu Tao put away Jing Die, was overjoyed, and kept picking up food for him, "Thank you, thank you! Come, come, eat more! There is nothing to repay you, only to treat you to dinner next time!"

"It's just a small matter, no need to say thank you." Mandrill stopped Hu Tao from piling up vegetables in his bowl, and he couldn't fit any more in his bowl.

"What are you going to do to find the real soul of the four directions?"

"It's like this..." Hu Tao briefly explained his plan and the materials he needed.

Mandrill nodded, and didn't say that he wanted to help, but said:

"If you are in danger, call me by my name."

"We called, can you hear it?" Jiang Bai became curious.

What is the principle?Or is it simply an unexplainable fairy law?

"When you call my name, the wind will carry your voices to my ears."

Jiang Bai saw the God's Eye on him, which was a blue-green wind attribute.

Does the wind attribute still have such a use?Or is it just for him personally?

Jiang Bai couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to think about it.

Chapter 49 Please ask the emperor to solve the confusion

After lunch, the two bid farewell to Mandrill.

There is still a long way from Huaguanglin, and it will be dark in the afternoon.

"Goodbye, see you next time."

Watching the two spread their wings of wind and descend from the roof of the building until they got farther and farther away, Mandrill brushed his face with one hand, a terrifying face appeared on his face, and his figure slowly disappeared.

……

People coming and going in Liyue Port are very lively.

After listening to the play, Zhongli strolled in Liyue, and there was an endless stream of passers-by on the road, and all kinds of hawking sounds were heard endlessly.

He walked quietly, without any destination, and walked very slowly.

This is a recreational activity in his spare time. He likes to wander around Liyue, looking at every plant, tree, flower, and tree on this land.

The breeze blew across the cheeks, and the smell of food wafted in the air.

His gaze slowly swept over everything in Liyue Harbor, whether it was the bricks on the ground, the tiles of the house, or the cornices, every plant and tree here grew up under his witness .

For thousands of years, he has guarded this city, this country, for countless years.

He watched the Hall of Purity from its inception to its inheritance to this day; he watched the seven stars change from generation to generation; he watched the familiar things in the past gradually be forgotten; he watched the past objects gradually weather; he watched old friends disappear one by one.
