Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 274 The Past of Guoba

"He used to be Liyue's land lord, but now he is your boss. It's just that all the wisdom and strength he had in the past were dedicated to this land." Grandma Ping explained to Xiangling.

Keqing also knew some things about this, but she was confused about one thing, that is, how could the Demon God dedicate his power to the land?
"The devil gives his power to the land... I have heard this saying, but how do you do it?"

"A land faces far more dangers and tests than you imagine, including severe droughts, floods, heavy rains, hurricanes...earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, and serious diseases."

"On the land of Liyue, disasters have never completely disappeared. Trouble that did not appear in the past will also arise in the future. Mortals do not have immortal bodies, so they are most affected by these factors."

"It was he who accompanied you across the desolate plains to the port, where he built houses and lit fires..."

"It was he who lit Liyue's first night lamp with his own hands, letting the aroma of food float into thousands of homes."

"You no longer remember him, but in the era when you still recognized him, he was the most approachable immortal."

Immediately afterwards, Grandma Ping began to tell the story of Marcusius:
"The Demon God of the Hearth" Maxius was born from the sparks thrown by the collision of stones.

He is in charge of fire and people's livelihood, and is a demon who loves humans.

Thousands of years ago, the ancients expanded the city and established settlements on the plains, naming them [Guiliji].

The Kitchen God protects people's livelihood, transforming into a clone and sneaking into thousands of homes to help light fires, cook, and reunite people.

However, a flood took away their homes, the flood destroyed Guiliji, and the residents were forced to move south to Liyue Port.

Although the journey was not very far, there were violent storms along the way, and the immortals escorted the people for more than ten days.

During this period, Kitchen God made an ancient delicacy, which is composed of naan and meat sauce that can dispel dampness and cold, and is easy to carry.

Hundreds of years later, when disasters and diseases occurred on the earth, the Kitchen God no longer appeared frequently, but concentrated all his power on the land to quell various disasters.

Having exhausted all his strength, the Kitchen God's intelligence was greatly reduced, and his body became very small. When he finally said goodbye to us, he was no longer taller than a person.

He informed the emperor and me of the secrets of the dishes and fires that brought happiness, and then he went to the mountains and fell asleep for a long time.

The Kitchen God bid farewell to this world, and Guoba was born.

The day he woke up, he ate the spicy pork steamed bun made by the girl in yellow.

Although he couldn't remember the past, he was still moved and decided to follow the girl.

After the Kitchen God quietly disappeared, every morning, vendors started setting up stalls early and shouting,
People go out to buy things, make fires to cook...the same as every day in the past.

Because Liyue has always been like this.

The wind and rain are still blessing, the mountains and the sea are celebrating together, it is the blessing of the heaven and the earth;

The stars move and change, the sea changes, but the world of fireworks remains the same.

My fame is with me, and I will live forever, and I will never forget to hold a candle and go out at night;

All things in the past and present are stirring in the midstream, and the grand plan is waiting for the rookie.

……

"You mentioned to us that eating and drinking are the most prosperous times on earth, because eating requires the best spiritual energy, and drinking requires drinking the essence of heaven and earth..."

"You said this is the most important thing. You can go on the road only if you have a full belly in life. Eating and drinking can be small or big." "Small means you can taste a handful of corn or drink sweet spring water from a rock; say big, you can eat it. Drinking from a pot of stars and moon, you can travel the world for thousands of years."

"Old friend, during the days when you were asleep, Liyue has become so prosperous and beautiful. Are you happy?" Grandma Ping's words were also full of regret.

"Cookba... why didn't you tell me such an important thing..."

"Lu~"

"He is no longer what he used to be. He can't even speak. He can't tell you..." Pamon said from the side.

Hearing Paimeng's words, Xiang Ling suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Sister Guizhi and Lord Ziwei Emperor of the Arctic had said the same thing before.

"Master, after all, my sister and the Arctic Ziwei Emperor have both said that they should cherish it. Do they already know Guo Ba's identity?"

"It turns out that they have already told you that you should cherish it, but there is one thing I want to explain to you. With the current strength of the Arctic Ziwei Emperor, there should be no problem in helping Guoba regain his former abilities. "Grandma Ping reminded Xiang Ling.

"Is this strange? Didn't that person already have the ability to resurrect people before coming to Liyue Port? Why didn't he say anything clearly about the matter of Guo Ba?" Paimeng was confused after hearing this. .

"I think the Arctic Ziwei Emperor should have some scruples about this matter, mainly because Guo Ba has been with Xiang Ling for a long time, and if Guo Ba recovers his former abilities and memory, Guo Ba may leave Xiangling."

"But there is also a possibility that he will not leave. Perhaps out of consideration of these two situations, Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic has not chosen to restore Guoba for the time being."

"Maybe you are also thinking that when Xiangling knows Guoba's identity, let him make his own choice." Grandma Ping could still guess the intentions of the Arctic Ziwei Emperor.

"If this is the case, this is actually a very important choice for Xiangling." Ying said from the side.

"This choice is a bit heavy for Xiangling." Keqing sighed.

After hearing everyone's words, Xiangling thought for a moment, because she felt that it was very important to help Guoba recover his memory and abilities.

Even if Guo Ba couldn't stay by his side in the end, at least he wouldn't feel regretful in his heart.

"I choose to help Guoba recover his memory and abilities. As for whether to stay or go, it will be up to Guoba himself."

"It's not easy for you to make this choice, but since Guo Ba has been following you for so long, I believe that he will probably stay after he has recovered his memory."

"After all, Liyue no longer needs him. Since the time of Emperor Yanwang, although Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic is ostensibly the leader of Liyue, this person will not be the leader until a critical moment or when an oracle is needed for guidance. I will come forward." Grandma Ping comforted Xiangling.

Keqing agreed very much with what Grandma Ping said, because although it was still a country ruled by gods, it had gradually transitioned to a country ruled by humans.

Regarding Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic, she is indeed not as superficial as she used to be, because this god's actions are somewhat incomprehensible.

"But I remember that the strange gods haven't returned to Liyue yet, so it will still take some time for Guo Ba to recover his memory and abilities." Paimeng reminded at the side.

"Xiang Ling, you are a person with immortality. Guoba follows you to recognize you."

"I just woke up from a long sleep and found a familiar taste in a spicy pork bun..."

"Even after such a long time, he still remembers the dish he invented and recognized the dish you made."

"Although I'm not sure what choice Guo Ba will make after recovering his memory, I firmly believe that after being with him for such a long time, he will still choose you." Ke Qing also said some comforting words.
