The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

————————————————————————

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the gentle breeze, and the various monsters playing on the thick lawn, Euphilia, who came to the Cave in the Pot for the first time, didn't know how to use words to describe her current mood.

There are still such things... There are more and more things beyond the scope of understanding.I also have a certain ability to detect lies. Throughout today's journey, this strong man named Xia Yu has indeed not told any lies.

He clearly had important information related to the Red King but refused to tell it. However, he used a special method to confirm this matter to the followers of the Red King in the desert. This method of action was very subtle.

The bad side of Lord Red King?Impossible. No one with a little bit of emotional intelligence would do such an extremely absurd thing as denounce their beliefs in front of believers.

What other possibilities are there?Is there a deviation in the spread of history?Loyalty to the Red King actually made Euphilia calm down at this moment.

Looking at Xia Yu who was leading the way towards what seemed to be an open-air kitchen building, Euphilia followed behind and said: "Mr. Xia Yu, regarding your purpose, if I swear by my loyalty and honor to the Red King, I will not do anything to you." Do any harmful behavior until you prove your conclusion. Can you tell me your conclusion in advance?"

This...Although Xia Yu had also considered that this situation would happen, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.According to King Daci Shu, when true believers swear an oath in the name of a god, their determination is absolutely worthy of trust.

"I can indeed tell you in advance, because this is not a conflict between gods, but a deviation in the process of spreading." Xia Yu, who nodded in response, turned around and his expression became much more serious.

"The glory of the Red King was not robbed by King Dacishu, who was once an ally. King Dacishu went to the desert only to help his former friend solve the dilemma he encountered."

"But the forbidden knowledge is too powerful. Therefore, the Red King had to use his own life to make up for the trouble caused by his confusion to the Teyvat Continent. In the process, the Great Ci Tree King also lost most of his The divine power has thus entered a long period of adjustment. The answer to all this can be found in the Red King's Tomb."

......

Euphemia fell into silence after listening to Xia Yu's explanation. Indeed, what Xia Yu said did have an obvious bias - he was on the side of the Great Ci Tree King.

What the Red King believers had always believed was that the Great Ci Tree King had robbed the Red King of the glory that belonged to the Red King, which was completely overturned by his words. According to Xia Yu, the Great Ci Tree King was here to clean up the mess left by the Red King.

If it were anyone else, I would have hit the opponent with a ball of flames without hesitation, but after all, I have to abide by my oath...

When she noticed the Void Terminal worn on Xia Yu's ears, Euphemia, who seemed to understand something, said: "I see, you are saying this because of the information in the Void Terminal that has been screened by the sages of the Academy. Did you say those words just now? Being too naive is not a good thing..."

"Of course not. I have another source of information, and it has absolute authenticity and reliability."

Xia Yu, who interrupted Euphemia's words, shrugged helplessly, and then complained: "So I feel that there is really no need to say it so early when it comes to things that will obviously make everyone suspicious. The truth of the matter will be proven after the royal tomb. What would you like to have for dinner?"

"...It's whatever you want, as long as it can fill your stomach."

————————————————————————

A large portion of cheese crackers is paired with vegetable soup made with pork bones, onions, carrots, and tomatoes, and then a large portion of slightly spicy beef curry is served. Xia Yu's neat way of preparing dinner makes Euphelia watch. Stare straight.

How is this done?While turning the dough with one hand to expand it, the other hand was cutting the beef. The thick slices of beef cut by the gorgeous-looking kitchen knife actually flew to the iron plate beside it. The roasting started...

Next, there was the thin pie crust that seemed to be thrown away carelessly, but it happened to be exactly placed on the counter next to it.After all the beef was turned over in turn at a speed that I could hardly see clearly, in the moment I was in a daze, the pancakes evenly coated with a thin layer of oil and sprinkled with shredded cheese were put into the oven. inside the furnace.

The whole cooking process can no longer be simply explained by what makes perfect. These dishes... He picked up the plate with the dishes in a daze, followed Xia Yu who had finished cleaning up the kitchen and walked out of the Chensong Pot. Euphemia slightly Some doubt about life.

If there really is such a convenient way to cook, then how miserable it must have been for me and Aker every time they passed by Aru Village on vacation...

"Oh~! Is the food ready?" The rich smell of spices and the oily aroma of scones made Akel immediately turn his head after smelling the smell, and hurriedly took the dinner plate from his wife's hand and put the food on the table. It was placed on the wooden box that had been cleaned aside. Just as the three of them were preparing to eat, a creaking sound from the direction of the wooden bridge attracted their attention.

This is a woman holding a shield and a spear with golden markings. Her bronze skin inherits the healthy beauty of desert people, and her strong figure shows the gun in the hand of this woman with dark blue hair. The shield is by no means a simple decoration.

After seeing the identities of the three people clearly, the woman who breathed a sigh of relief said with a smile: "It turns out it's Yuffie and Akel, you two... Didn't you go to Sumeru for vacation? Why are you still here? Rucun... and who is the gentleman here?"

"Hey, Candice, we have encountered some special circumstances. This gentleman said that he has some extremely important information related to the Red King, so now we have to take him back to the Red King's Mausoleum for confirmation." He answered. Euphemia smiled. "I wonder why Candice you are here..."

"Well, I just saw a blue-like crack appearing here, so I planned to come over to check the situation..." Halfway through the explanation, the woman named Candice looked at the bottle in Aker's hand. The clean meals seemed to indicate something. "Could it be that what just happened was..."

"Yes, it is indeed a passage into another space. You also know the food on the streets of Aru Village now. Even though this is the resting place of the descendants of Red King Akhmal, it is a desert area after all, so..."

Therefore, the portal that seemed to be dangerous was really just for cooking... Candice breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Xia Yu.

Three of the four people present are followers of the Red King Akhmar, and Aru Village has a very special meaning to everyone under the Red King's command, so this rift can only be caused by this new person. The traveler has opened it.

"Sir, I am Candice, the guardian of Aru Village. For the sake of safety, can you please allow me to confirm the rift you opened? Of course, as compensation for the inspection, I will provide you with a place to stay today. , you can also change the dining location to my cabin." Candice's words made Euphemia's eyes light up.

"Candice, if it's okay, we only need two cabins tonight~"

3Chapter 16 Red King’s Tomb, how to lose with the guide?

"I didn't expect there to be such a space..." Inside the house, Candice, who was still thinking about the scene she just saw, felt it was amazing.Candice, who planned to ask further, focused her gaze on the three people who were dining, and then let out a long sigh.

According to my own visual inspection, people from at least three or four villages could live in that mysterious space. Although there were magical beasts in it, they were indeed harmless to humans and animals as Xia Yu said.It's a pity that this precious thing does not belong to me.

As the guardian of the inheritance among Akhmar believers, it is his duty to protect the inheritance of the descendants of the Red King of Aru Village.Candice could only express envy for that mysterious space.

In this desolate desert, even Aru Village, which has a water source and is closest to the Xumi Fang Sand Wall, is having such a hard time, let alone the nomadic tribes in the desert.

"Mr. Xia Yu, there is something I want to ask you." Recalling that Xia Yu told her the purpose of coming to the desert in the Dust Song Pot, Candice felt more helpless in facing the reality. "As you said, if what you do, sir, can indeed prove that the relationship between King Daci Shu and Red King is still friends, what impact will this have on Xumi's current situation?"

"Even though the hatred of the people of the Red Prince towards the Great Cousin Tree King, the original god of Xumi, will be resolved, more conflicts now are caused by the Order of Xumi. Excessive unfair treatment of the people of the desert will still slow down. It will slowly intensify the conflicts between the two parties, and the conflicts between the two parties will still not subside."

As Candice said, in addition to faith, the classification of authority in residential areas and void terminals, and the policies issued by the sages of the Order are accelerating the development of the people of the desert and the people of the Grass God in the rainforest on the other side of the sand wall. If the conflict between them continues like this, sooner or later the two sides will trigger a fierce dispute.

"Because we, the followers of the Red King, own the territory of Aru Village, we can survive relying on trade, but those believers of the Flower God in the north...that's all, let's not mention them for now."

"Then what if I say that the teaching academy will undergo a thorough purge within a month or two?" Xia Yu, who threw the bombshell with a smile, choked the two people who were feasting and also became a member of the room. Focus.

The Apostolic Order will usher in a major purge! ?This... too shocking content made the three of them look at Xia Yu cautiously. Even Akel, who was extremely nervous along the way, also noticed that something was wrong. The strong man who stood up pointed at Xia Yu and asked loudly : "You...who are you? Even a knowledgeable foreign tourist wouldn't be able to say such a thing, right?"

"What if it's a messenger from the gods?"

"This..."

After hearing Xia Yu's answer again, the couple who came to Aru Village from Kavanyi with Xia Yu didn't know how to answer.If another person had said this, Akel was sure that his iron fist would have hit the other person's face.

But when it comes to Xia Yu, things are a little more subtle.If the magical space just now can be explained by gifts from gods or unknown ancient treasures, then who has ever seen humans being able to directly come into contact with monsters they meet for the first time in the wild?

It seems that this kind of thing can only be explained if it has something to do with the gods... Akel, who was feeling dizzy, looked at his frowning wife. After receiving a look from Euphilia, Aker I gave up thinking.

"Could it be that Xia Yu, you are the envoy of the Great Ci Tree King..." Thinking of the craziest reasons she could think of, Euphilia's brain was already a little unable to turn around, and she felt that she was in a state of downtime.

This is the only reason that can explain why Xia Yu is so concerned about the past history. As a member of the priests among the Akhmal believers, Euphilia still understands that the gods more or less have their own followers.

Just like the Zhenlings under the Flower God, these spokesmen or task performers subordinate to the gods have a lofty status among the Flower God's believers. This is an undoubted fact.

Since the Flower Goddess has town spirits who support her and are loyal to her, and the Red King also took over these town spirits after the Flower Goddess passed away, then the Great Merciful Tree King who created the rain forest should also... Yuffie infers the possibility of Xia Yu's identity. Leah seemed to feel something was wrong again.

No, that's not right. King Daci Shu has been dead for more than 500 years. Even if historical correction is really necessary, it should have been implemented long ago.The person who governs Sumeru now is the Little Lucky Grass King who is basically invisible to the world. Theoretically, if there is a divine messenger, it should also be the Little Lucky Grass King...

But regardless of whether Xia Yu is the envoy of the Great Merciful Tree King or the Little Lucky Grass King, one of the doubts can be explained clearly, and that is the reason why Xumi's mushroom beast is particularly close to Xia Yu.In the eyes of these plant-based monsters, the power of the Grass God is indeed a power worth getting close to.

"Forget it... I will wait until tomorrow, Mr. Xia Yu, to show you the facts you know. If all are true, Akhmar's followers will do everything they can to help your god clear the wrongs he has suffered." It became more and more mysterious. Xia Yu made Euphilia have to become cautious. "As for today, please rest early. Aru Village will prepare the best rest environment for you."

"No problem, then I'll trouble you."

In the middle of the night, Xia Yu, who was lying on the small bed, looked out the window quietly, recalling the situation on the way to Aru Village today, and the corners of Xia Yu's mouth could not help but tilt upward slightly.

Overall, today's communication with the Red King believers was quite successful: the two guards of the Red King's Mausoleum have already made certain guesses about their identity, and this kind of guess is what they need.

I just don’t know if Akel will be able to walk tomorrow... In this way, what I need to pay attention to tomorrow is actually only related to the Great Ci Tree King, that is, what kind of news about the Great Ci Tree King can be said degree?

First of all, what is certain is that the deeds of the Great Mercy Tree King are still circulating in Xumi. This is the reason why the forbidden knowledge mentioned by the Great Mercy Tree King is still polluting the World Tree: the infected Great Mercy Tree The fact that the existence of the Tree King is still spread in Sumeru is itself the cause of the World Tree.

If the recognition of the Great Kindness Tree King in the Sumeru people's impression is deepened, the World Tree may be seriously polluted, and there is even a slight possibility of affecting the current Little Lucky Grass King Nasida.

Tomorrow, when the correct history of the desert is revealed, I will definitely be asked by the followers of the Red King about the relatives of the gods. Then, how much information I can reveal about the Great Ci Tree King will become the key.

While thinking about this issue, Xia Yu noticed that the great Cishu King of Aru Village had a smile on his face, and seemed to be very satisfied with the state of Aru Village.Xia Yu, who didn't understand the reason, asked, "Is there anything happy?"

"Yes, because I saw the traces of the little guy's hard work here." The Daci Tree King was very pleased as he answered to Xia Yu. "All the crazy scholars in Aru Village were soothed and restored to their sanity by her, and the buildings in Aru Village are also protected by her and will not be affected by earthquakes~"

"The other thing is, Xia Yu, just follow my instructions tomorrow after we arrive at the Red King's Tomb. We will continue to operate in the desert tomorrow, so just have a good rest today."

————————————————————————

"Ahead is the Red King's Tomb." At noon, the three people who arrived at the Red King's Tomb in the desert under the scorching sun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Red King's Tomb is located in an endless desert plain. Because it lacks the protection of mountains and cliffs, the wind and sand are extremely heavy. Every time you take a step, you have to use a wooden stick to test whether there is a quicksand area in front of you. This situation makes the actions along the way extremely difficult. slow.

What's more, there is a "winner in life" among the three of them today... This made Xia Yu's eyes become extremely subtle when he looked at Akel. If I had to say it, it was a combination of envy and sympathy.

If you only look at the main body of the building, from a distance, the shape of the Red King's Tomb with the sandstorm in the sky looks like a huge hourglass. The magnificent and huge building seems to be connected by the mysterious buckle in the center. The positive and negative pyramids are connected together.The architectural shape that allowed Newton to raise his coffin has foreshadowed the various black technologies that exist in the Red King's Tomb.

The external structure alone is just like this. After entering the mausoleum, the internal structure will definitely be more complicated.Xia Yu, who turned his head slightly to look at the Daci Tree King, found that the nostalgic look on the little guy's face became more and more obvious.

"I didn't expect that after a thousand years, more than half of Akhmalta's mausoleum would have been hidden in the desert..."

Feeling the changes that the passage of time has brought to all things in the world, the Daci Tree King showed a sense of maturity that was completely inconsistent with his appearance. While remembering the past, the Daci Tree King spoke again: "In this way, I want to activate those things step by step. The mechanisms are a bit troublesome, and only by activating all the mechanisms can we reach the real top level of the Red King’s Tomb.”

"So I may have to use the power I still have in the Red King's Tomb later...Xia Yu, don't rush to the current entrance to the Red King's Tomb. Go to the west of it first..." King Daci Shu made Xia Yu nodded after giving the order.

"Akel, Euphilia, let's go to the west of the Red King's Tomb first, and then enter the Red King's Tomb from there."

Xia Yu followed the route pointed out by the Great Ci Tree King, which made the two of them a little confused. Although they didn't understand what Xia Yu wanted to do, they still nodded in agreement.

"No problem, just do as you say, Brother Xia Yu." Although Akel, who was a little weak due to excessive exercise, wanted to put on a serious expression, his current weak appearance completely lost his tallness and strength. The feeling of oppression that Han should have.

"But Brother Xia Yu, I want to remind you that after discussions between Yuffie and I yesterday, we decided on a plan that is relatively fair to everyone."

"We will completely follow your instructions, Brother Xia Yu, but once your instructions lead us to a dead end or we cannot find the correct path after a long period of exploration, we can only escort you as we would treat a liar. Go to the Red King's Mausoleum Guards and obey the orders, do you want to accept it?"

oh?Aker and Euphilia's plan made Xia Yu smile.To me, the two people's plan is like a rigorous exploration and puzzle game. Not only must they not make mistakes in solving the puzzles, but the process of finding objects and searching for paths must also be as good as in the game. It's as familiar as your own home.

If it were someone who came to the Red King's Tomb for the first time, such an exploration and decryption game would definitely be a hit.Because almost no one can go to the place where the Red King sleeps without making any mistakes, let alone being required not to make any mistakes.

Xia Yu can completely understand why the two of them are so strict with themselves: because he has shown too many mysterious points to them.And he came to the Red King's Tomb as a 'god's envoy'.

Who would get lost in their own home?No, it was precisely because of this that the two of them set such stringent requirements.

"No problem." Xia Yu answered to the two of them, showing strong confidence. "Actually, I think that you don't need to enter the Red King's Tomb at all, but just see my preparations for entering the Red King's Tomb, you two can put down your guard and come with me."

Under the leadership of the Daci Tree King, Xia Yu came to the west of the Red King's Mausoleum and was about 50 meters away from the Red King's Mausoleum. He stopped, squatted down and put his palms on the hot yellow sand. Asked: “What to do next?”

"Wait a moment, let me borrow this Void Terminal for a short time..." The Daci Tree King was explaining with his fingers clasped in front of him, as if he was praying. Along with the actions of the Daci Tree King, Xia Yu It feels like there are some additional indicators in his void terminal.Before Xia Yu could check, the rumble of sand and violent shaking coming from the ground made the three people present unable to stand.

"There's an earthquake! Be careful, let's go first..." Before Euphilia and Akel could finish their words, the green space like a barrier spread out on the golden sand and enveloped the three of them. Several huge vines penetrated the desert, and the barrier surrounding the three people was smoothly carried down by the vines to an underground cave nearly a hundred meters deep.

This...this is! ?The sight that appeared in front of them made the two people of the desert dumbfounded. They did not expect that there would be a huge building under the ground that was no worse than the surface of the desert. From the perspective of observation, the wide base showed that this place was actually connected to the Red King's Tomb on the surface. The location is perfect and can just connect to the buildings on the desert surface.

"Brother Xia Yu...this is..."

"Yes, this is the 'original' entrance to the Red King's Tomb."

3Chapter 17 The mechanism of the Red King’s Tomb was activated, alarming the priests

This... the sight in their eyes is really shocking. As loyal believers of the Red King, Akel and Euphilia have always believed that the priests and guardians of the Red King in the past generations have passed down the traditions related to the King. History, unexpectedly, there was something wrong with the Red King's Tomb, which is the most significant to the Red King believers.

No one discovered that most of the Red King’s Tomb was buried by wind and sand!As a successor, this is the biggest dereliction of duty!The two people, shrouded in lost emotions, fell into silence, waiting quietly for the emerald green barrier to protect everyone and being swept into the Red King's Tomb by the thick vines. Akel looked at Xia Yu with a look in his eyes. A little respect.

"Xia Yu, you must be the divine envoy of the Great Ci Tree King." Although he had just entered the Red King's Mausoleum, Akel had already confirmed his idea and continued along the line of thinking that Xia Yu was the divine envoy of the Great Ci Tree King. As he continued to think, Akel felt that his brain became clearer.

"First of all, Xia Yu, your purpose of coming here is to put an end to the misinformation about the Great Ci Tree King. Although people from the Xumi Rainforest will do the same, they definitely don't have so many unique abilities."

"And the grass god's power happens to be easy to live in harmony with the mushrooms... Finally, there is the most obvious evidence, the vines that entangled us in the Red King's Tomb, and the abundant life-related things in the Red King's Tomb. Elemental power, this is definitely the power of the Grass God."

Although the pace was still a bit unsteady, the physical fatigue did not affect Akel's inference. After giving his own inference, Akel looked at his wife beside him, as if waiting for the other party to supplement.

"Yes, Mr. Aker, Ms. Euphilia, I am indeed related to King Daci Shu." Xia Yu nodded and admitted as he looked at this huge mausoleum.

I have to admit that as the burial ground of the Red King, one of the three gods who had the greatest influence on Sumeru, looking at the Red King's Tomb from the inside, whether it is the murals and records or the size of the Red King's Tomb, the whole tomb is indeed full of... A magnificent momentum.

Secondly, there are some more interesting things, and that is because of the influence of the elemental power left by the Great Merciful Tree King here. Although it is deep in the desert, the lush forest underground is not ambiguous at all, although it is not as good as the rain forest. The area is so lush and lush, but the green woods are particularly eye-catching among the desert ruins.

In addition, there are those little monsters in the woods.

It seems that because there has been no one for a long time, and because the land here is relatively good and the power of the Great Ci Tree King still remains, the little monsters without the pressure to survive have grown much smoother than the monsters outside. For example, the grass slimes jumping in front of Xia Yu and the others and the floating grass mushrooms floating in mid-air.

He picked up the grass slime that was rubbing his calf affectionately in front of him, and then waited for the floating grass slime with a small body but a huge umbrella hat to stop on his shoulder, causing Xia Yu, who looked enviously at Akel and Euphilia, secretly looked at the Great Ci Tree King beside him.

"King Daci Shu, I'll leave it to you to lead the way."

"No problem, after all, no one is more familiar with this place than me now." King Daci Tree, who was walking in front of the team, led Xia Yu to a room that seemed to be a hall. Several more mushroom beasts appeared in front of the three of them. In the field of vision.

There seem to be a lot of monsters here... The growing 'monster army' has expanded from two at the beginning to more than ten now. This rare situation makes the two red men who are eager to touch the monsters. The king's followers also brought one or two little ones with them, and the exceptionally docile little monsters convinced the two of them that Xia Yu was a follower of the Great Ci Tree King.

"This is it." The Daci Tree King who stopped in Xia Yu's field of vision pointed to several stone monuments near the outer wall. He turned back and winked at Xia Yu mischievously and continued: "Start the elevator. They are the mechanisms of the machine, try to think about how to activate them~"

Ah? ?

Suddenly, the Great Ci Tree King began to test himself again. Xia Yu was stunned in place. He carefully looked at these stone tablets that had remained clean even after hundreds of years. Xia Yu felt that he had nowhere to focus. He frowned.

Anyway, I need to give you some hints... Even though there are only a few rotating stone tablets, there are quite a variety of outcomes that can be arranged.It wouldn't be a problem if he just came here alone to slowly crack it. The key is that he is followed by two followers of the Red King.Using exhaustive methods is too out of character.

King Daci Shu, I am helping you restore your reputation now!Stop playing this decryption game!

Seemingly seeing Xia Yu's embarrassment, King Daci Tree stuck out his tongue in embarrassment as he realized that he liked to guess riddles again. "I'm sorry, but I talked too much when I held a banquet with the god of Mondstadt, and I've become more or less tainted by his habits~"

"This is part of the Red King's mausoleum. It is guarded by a loyal priest who once followed Akhmalta. It is also the burial place of this priest." King Daci Shu explained the history. He looked a little angry for some reason. "What are carved on these stone tablets are the postures of the priests when facing the gods. You should understand Xia Yu by now."

Although he did not give a direct answer, the detailed information given by King Daci Shu was too straightforward: naturally he looked up.He came to the stone tablets and tried to turn one of them. The sound of the stone tablets turning together made Xia Yu speechless for a moment.

Is this necessary? ?Although it is not too troublesome to adjust the stone tablets so that specific sides overlap, it can still make people feel uncomfortable when encountering them.The most important thing is that although the three stone monuments are not too far apart, it is really not a small project to run back and forth to make adjustments.
