Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

[All the people I knew had already turned into a handful of dirt, and I once again lost the meaning of living.]

[Just when I thought I was going to live my life in a muddle, the people above found me.]

[At their request, I decided to accept this commission and head to this place called "Daluo Mountain"...]

[Here...can I find the meaning of living? ]

"how come?"

Listening to Xiyu's inner voice on the screen, Weihua couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "Decades?"

"I thought the teacher was only in his twenties at most!"

"Teacher, it was because time and space were distorted that he returned to the real world several decades later. It doesn't mean that the teacher has grown old."

Shengya corrected Weihua's understanding somewhat helplessly.

"Or will you distance yourself from your teacher just because he's old?"

"How can it be!"

Weihua slapped the table and stood up: "Even if the teacher is a grandfather who is hundreds of millions of years old, I will still like the teacher!"

Because Mika's voice was very loud, the teacher on the stage also heard it.

Although Xiyu was moved by Weihua's sincere feelings, he also shook his head helplessly.

*Xiao Weihua, the teacher is not as old as you say~

*Hundreds of millions of years old or something, do you think I’m a god?

but--

Looking back on the road he has traveled so far, Xiyu couldn't help but reveal a serious look on his face.

*Although it may not be hundreds of millions of years old, it should be more than 100,000 years old?

*After all, the collapse of the world alone has lasted for more than 50,000 years...

*cough cough~

He shook his head and dispelled those complicated thoughts.

Whatever the past was, it is the past.

It’s like he was once powerful enough to fight a bloody battle with the Ruler of the End, but now he is just an ordinary person who is powerless.

That's right, it's the present that matters, not the past.

Thinking of this, Xiyu stopped playing and kept looking at himself on the screen.

Having said that, it’s not a bad thing to recall the past occasionally.

Chapter 206: Daluo Mountain with unexpectedly complete information

It is different from the time in the zoo when it was like seeing flowers in the fog and the moon in the water.

Regarding the mission at Daluo Mountain, Xiyu was on his way to that area, and the higher-ups had already handed over all the information that had been integrated so far to him.

Through the surveillance footage left at the zoo and the oral accounts of some employees, they learned that it was Xiyu who solved the problem of "it" in the zoo.

This is also the reason why they trust Xiyu so much and want to rely on him to investigate and even resolve the Daluoshan incident.

*Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments...

Xiyu thought about it while flipping through the documents in her hand.

----

At the same time, the students on Kivotos' side also read the intelligence provided by the country's top leaders from Xiyu's perspective.

"Sure enough, the rules are different from those at the zoo."

Hinata frowned cutely and thought seriously: "According to the current information, this place called 'Da Luo Mountain' originally had a mountain god suppressing some strange things."

"But as time went by, the power of suppression began to weaken, and those strange things began to erode this area."

"For the time being, let's just call them 'mountain ghosts'..."

----

----

Because Daluo Mountain was affected by the "mountain ghost", many tourists and local villagers met with accidents.

In order to investigate all this, the relevant departments have sent special personnel to handle it.

However, without exception, they were all lost in this mountain.

However, although they failed to come back, they still left behind a lot of useful information.

Combined with the information learned from local villagers, it was finally integrated into the document that Xiyu has in his hands today.

*The weakening of the power of the mountain god of Mount Daluo led to the resurrection of "it", the "mountain ghost".

*To stop all this, the best thing to do is to increase the power of the mountain god.

*According to some ancient legends in our country, offerings and incense are ways to restore the power of the gods.

*However, to this day, the worship of the mountain god in Daluo Mountain has not been interrupted.

*Why does the power of the mountain god weaken?

While Xiyu on the screen was thinking about all this, the students on Kivotos' side were also analyzing this point.

"The offerings have not been interrupted, but the power has been weakened."

Shengya murmured softly, with a gleam of light flashing under her drooping eyebrows: "If it's not the mountain god himself who has a problem, then there must be something wrong with the worship process."

"Like, maybe there was a mistake in the steps... or something like that?"

Listening to Shengya's words, Weihua blinked and showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Shengya..."

"Wouldn't you--"

Shengya: “?”

"You're not really a very smart guy, are you?"

Shengya: “…”

Resisting the urge to hit Mika on the head (mainly because she couldn't beat her and her hand would hurt after hitting her), Shengya took a deep breath and looked at Nagisa helplessly.

After receiving a signal from Shengya, Nagisa picked up the Swiss roll on the table and stuffed it into Mika's mouth while she looked silly.

“Mmm~ wuwuwu~”

(Wow wow wow~ Xiao Zhu and Xiao Shengya bullied me, I will tell the teacher when the time comes {>﹏<})

After doing all this, Nagisa ignored Mika's protesting look and felt much better.

Sure enough, as the teacher said, taking off the mask occasionally is also a good decision~

Nagisa thought so and happily picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

----

Just as Shengya said, Xiyu on the screen soon realized this.

Through the communicator, he retrieved the time of the earliest disappearance and what happened in Daluo Mountain during that period from his superiors.

Soon, Xiyu noticed a detail.

At that time, the villagers of Daluoshan seemed to have established the Daluoshan Scenic Area with the help of a boss.

At the same time, the mountain temple located on the top of Daluo Mountain was also moved to another location.

Although the two seemed to be only a few hundred steps apart, for something as serious as worshiping gods, which could not allow any deviation, it could be considered a taboo.

------

"No wonder the offering failed..."

Himari looked at the information on the screen and showed an expression of expectedness: "As time goes by, people gradually lose the awe they should have for some things."

"Everyone says we should believe in science and get rid of so-called superstition and ignorance."

"But they don't know that not everything can be explained scientifically."

“You must have awe for the unknown. You don’t have to believe it, but you must learn to be in awe of it.”

After listening to what Himari said, Amy pondered for a moment and then showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"What's wrong, Amy, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No... I'm just a little surprised."

Amy's face, which usually rarely showed any changes, now showed a complex expression.

"I didn't expect that you, Minister, would say something so profound besides just bragging."

"I say... isn't it a bit impolite for you to say this in front of me?"

Himari raised an eyebrow and said with a subtle expression.

*In this way, the general route is determined.

After confirming that the power of the mountain god of Mount Daluo had weakened and that the relocation of the mountain god temple was likely the cause of an error in the worship procedures, Xiyu immediately reported the intelligence he had deduced.

Just as the higher-ups were investigating all of this, Xiyu also successfully arrived at the Daluo Mountain area under the guidance of a helicopter.

I have to say that it is worthy of being the Daluo Mountain, where the legend of the Dragon God and the mountain god’s crusade against mountain ghosts were born. Looking from afar, the beautiful and tranquil scenery makes people immersed in it.

If there hadn’t been so many disappearances, I’m afraid most people would never believe that such an evil thing as a “mountain ghost” lurked in such a place…

*I have done what I was able to do so far.

*The rest will be left to the authorities to investigate.

After putting all the documents back into the backpack, Xiyu sorted and confirmed the supplies he would need for climbing.

The most important things are the incense, candles and lighters used for offerings.

Because the special dishes of Mount Daluo required for offerings can only be obtained on the mountain trail, they are not included in this list for the time being.

As for a notice prohibiting open flames and knives, Xiyu ignored it.

Not being able to carry open flames means not being able to light incense and candles for offerings.

For tourists who need to make offerings to obtain the protection of the mountain gods and avoid being attacked by mountain ghosts, failure to light incense and candles means losing the opportunity to obtain protection.

In this case, it is easy to imagine what fate these lucky tourists who come to Daluo Mountain will face...
