Wow, fanatics are really scary.
Jiang Ning rolled his eyes and led the way.
It's been so many years, and the Demon War has been over for who knows how long. Why are you still here fighting against rock and salt? Isn't it good to live a stable life?
But Jiang Ning also knew that there were so many bombs in these eight gates?
After we return this time, let Senior Sister Ganyu conduct a thorough investigation. Otherwise, who knows if these people will stab us in the back at the critical moment.
There are also many monsters along the way.
But they are all very weak hillbillies or slimes.
However, the atmosphere here, or the elemental power, is surprisingly harmonious.
Shouldn't the place where the demon died be filled with the demon's remnants or resentment?
Why haven’t I seen these until now?
It can't be that Xiao and his Yakshas have been here before, right? But isn't the seal outside still intact? And Xiao also said that he has never been here...
Jiang Ning, puzzled, brought Wanyan to a dilapidated gate.
"We're here..."
112. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The gate looked a bit dilapidated, but it was covered with unknown patterns.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that this seemed exactly the same as the Salt God's mark on the scroll.
I guess it’s a real place.
"Let's go in..."
Jiang Ning brought Wan Yan into the secret realm, which was filled with scenes of decay and desolation.
There are vines and gravel everywhere. Of course, among the gravel, there are some pure white salt grains mixed in.
"This is... the salt of the Salt God!"
Wanyan said with certainty.
Jiang Ning also picked up a handful of salt grains, pinched some and rubbed them on his fingertips.
Indeed, there is a sense of the power of a demon god...but why? Shouldn't a demon god be filled with resentment and residue?
Or did the Salt God really have no resentment at all when he died?
It's very strange. I always feel that from the records to the current situation, it's all extremely strange.
Even though he was backstabbed and killed by his most trusted believer, the Salt God really didn't hold any resentment at all. He is so saintly.
"Let's go inside."
Jiang Ning clapped his hands, shook off the salt in his hands, and said.
"Yeah." Wanyan followed behind him and took out a camera from somewhere and recorded everything.
They also came across some murals along the way, and Wanyan took photos non-stop as if she had found a treasure.
"This is……"
We came to a place that looked like an altar. On the table in the middle, there seemed to be a vessel that looked like a cup.
It's full of white salt grains.
[There is the breath of the devil...]
The system reminded.
"Yes, I know, but it's very weak... This should be..."
Wanyan interrupted Jiang Ning's thoughts excitedly: "This, this must be the weapon used by Lord Salt God. It can produce endless salt grains. It is said that it made the people rich in the past and used it to do business with the people under the command of other demon gods."
"what?"
Jiang Ning became even more certain that this guy was definitely a descendant of the people who were protected by the Salt God back then.
"Ahem... What I mean is that this is of great archaeological value. I want to take it away..."
Jiang Ning said, "But, this thing should be handed over to the General Affairs Department or Yuehai Pavilion, right? After all, it is an antique mined in Liyue, so you should be considered a member of an official organization, right?"
"Uh, ah, yes, you are right, I will be responsible for bringing it back, um, I will hand it over to the General Affairs Department."
Although Wanyan said so, looking at her expression, Jiang Ning wondered if she really treated him as a child who knew nothing?
[Don't worry, this thing has some of the devil's aura. This woman is just an ordinary person and can't lift it at all. ]
The system seems very calm.
"That's it..."
Sure enough, when Wanyan wanted to pick up the vessel with excitement and reverence, she was embarrassed to find that she couldn't lift it at all.
"Let me do it……"
Jiang Ning picked up the thing casually.
"Ah, this should be..."
Before Wanyan finished her words, Jiang Ning said, "You can't carry it anyway, so just leave it with me and hand it over to the General Affairs Department when you get back."
Wanyan was a little unwilling, but this was the only way for now. She could only wait until she got back to see if there was a chance to get the things back...
Moreover, in this secret realm, Wanyan did not believe that there was only this one thing left by the Salt God. As long as there was one thing left that could prove that the Salt God was a powerful god, then it would definitely be able to clear the name of the Salt God!
After walking for a while, the road became rugged and steep. Several times, if Jiang Ning hadn't helped Wanyan, she would have fallen down.
"Why does it become more dilapidated the further we go inside..."
Wanyan was also a little confused. Shouldn't it be that the further you go inside, the harder it is to walk, but also the more magnificent it becomes?
This is different from what I imagined.
"This is……"
In another room, the murals seem to record the Salt God using his power to bestow fine salt and other salt products upon the people.
"Salt God is indeed a very kind god..."
Wanyan behaved like a fanatic at this moment, but then she clenched her teeth and looked resentful.
Jiang Ning looked at Wanyan's performance and suddenly felt a little pity. He seemed to know how to make Wanyan fall into despair.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at an altar that looked like a set of utensils. In the middle was a broken ruler that seemed to have been broken and was covered with white salt frost.
"This is... the weapon of the Salt God, right? But why is it broken? Could it be proof that the Salt God was defeated?"
Jiang Ning muttered, this thing is not written in the scroll.
"Impossible! The Salt God is a powerful god, how could he be defeated? There must have been a despicable and shameless villain who attacked him!"
Wanyan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, extremely anxious.
"Alas, I am too lazy to watch you act out these awkward scenes. Has no one told you that your acting is really that bad?"
Jiang Ning scratched his head and said.
"What do you mean? I don't understand." There was some panic in Wanyan's eyes.
"Well, let me introduce myself again. My name is Jiang Ning. I am an intern at Yuehai Pavilion? Yes, I am a disciple of the Immortal Family and I am taught by Master Liuyunjiefeng. If you still don't know... um, my senior sister is the General Secretary of Qixing, Ganyu."
Seeing the confusion in Wanyan's eyes, Jiang Ning still felt that it would be better to give a name that everyone in Liyue knew.
"You, you are one of Morax's men?"
Wanyan looked alert and flustered.
"Well, I guess so. You are a believer of the Salt God, right? I don't know what the Salt God believers have passed down, but it is very likely that the records on your side are wrong..."
Jiang Ning said.
Wan Yan said sternly, "Impossible! According to our ancestral records, the Salt God was a powerful and kind demon god, but he was ambushed and killed by the despicable Morax! He even pretended to have taken our ancestors in. How despicable!"
"Don't you have any notes of sacrifice? This thing is more authentic than the ancestral records..." Jiang Ning asked.
"This thing was lost a long time ago, or rather, destroyed by Morax's minions."
Wanyan's eyes were full of hatred.
She was too lazy to pretend now, as she had been discovered anyway. After returning, she would definitely suffer a hard time. However, she had to at least let Morax's true despicable side be revealed!
A pathetic person who has been deceived by the wrong records of his ancestors for so many years...
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, but just said: "Let's go, the truth should be inside... although this truth may be difficult for you to accept."
As he said this, he took the broken ruler away and walked inside.
Wanyan really wanted to take back the things that belonged to the Salt God, but due to the other party's powerful strength, she had to give up. She gritted her teeth and followed.
The last building looks like a palace, but it is a bit dilapidated. On the stairs leading to the palace, there seem to be some human-shaped salt sculptures trying to escape.
5一⑧0⑨0九
“Why are there salt sculptures here?”
Wanyan was puzzled.
Moreover, these salt sculptures look terrified.
Jiang Ning glanced at it and said, "This is not a salt sculpture, this is a real person, a former subject of the Salt God. In other words, your ancestor."
"Impossible! The Salt God is a benevolent god. How could he kill his own people?"
Wanyan didn't believe it.
"Yes, you are right, God of Salt. Heulia is a kind god and would never harm her own people."
Jiang Ning, who knew the truth from the scroll, nodded and said.
This made Wanyan confused.
"It's all here. Once you go in, you'll know everything."
Xianxun: The descendants of the Sarkozy family are still alive and well
Jiang Ning took a step forward, heading towards the top.
Wanyan stared blankly at the palace gate not far away. The truth that she had been waiting for for a long time now seemed like a flood or a beast.
It was as if the gate of the palace was no longer the door to truth, but the bloody mouth of a beast, ready to swallow him in one bite.
Instinctively, she had a bad feeling.
However, her trust in the Salt God, her ancestral records, and her hatred for Morax still drove her to follow.
The hall of the palace was devoid of any furniture or decoration, as if it had been razed to the ground and cleared completely.
There are only salt grains all over the ground, and various salt sculptures.
They seemed to be running away from something, as if death was chasing them from behind. The salt sculptures' expressions were full of fear and even pain.
"This, this is..."
Wanyan couldn't believe what she saw.
In the middle of the palace, there is a salt sculpture making a forward stabbing motion, as if it is killing someone.
Just as Wanyan's pupils were shaking, Jiang Ning slowly spoke:
"Heulia, the Salt Goddess, you are right about one thing. She is indeed a benevolent god. However, contrary to what your ancestors recorded, Heulia's power is not strong. In fact, it is too weak."
"In a peaceful era, Heulia would be a good ruler, a benevolent monarch. The power of salt she possesses would allow her to conduct trade well and improve the wealth of her people."
"But in the chaotic world of the Demon God War, this is a kind of original sin."
"A rich country, power that benefits the people, and a weak ruler. This is a piece of fat meat for all the demon gods."
"Heulia's territory shrank as she made repeated concessions, and in the end, only the small area of Salt of the Earth remained."
