The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

There have been many different opinions among players about Bai Zhu's true identity. There are all kinds of speculations, even the theory that he is a "rich" relative. In any case, the suspicious points about Bai Shu undoubtedly aroused Lin Ye's curiosity.

I can’t play Genshin Impact anymore, and I can’t wait for an official explanation. When there is a chance in the future, Lin Ye will discover the truth on his own.

This is also one of the fun of time travel.

The two sides looked at each other and gave each other a harmless smile.

After Lin Ye and the others left Bubu Lu, Qiqi came back with a basket full of herbs on her back.

"Qiqi, I'm back." Qiqi said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Qiqi," Bai Zhu said gently. After checking the herbs, he sighed helplessly to Qiqi, "Today a customer bought glass lilies, Qingxin and glass bags. He might have bought a little too much, so I'll trouble you to continue collecting herbs tomorrow."

"Bought it, how much?" Qiqi asked puzzledly.

"Half a catty, half a catty each."

Qiqi was stunned.

How much does a pure heart weigh?

These were probably not all the inventory. It took her an unknown amount of time to enrich Bubulu’s inventory.

Qiqi stretched out her little hands to hold her head and squatted down, "Qiqi, be scared."

Lin Ye and Shen He naturally didn't know what happened after they left. It was a coincidence that today, Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, had not yet gone out for a walk, and Hu Tao held him back and wouldn't let him leave.

Lin Ye and his friends entered through the side door. The main entrance of the Hall of Rebirth is usually not open during the day. When they entered the living room, Lin Ye saw a man sitting on a chair drinking tea.

The man was dignified, handsome, and elegant in manners. Even the simple action of drinking tea revealed a kind of nobility.

"Hey, Lin Ye, you're here." Hu Tao was the first to see Lin Ye, stretched out his hand and greeted him happily.

"Hi." Lin Ye greeted him.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Zhongli, the guest official of Wangsheng Hall. Zhongli, this is Lin Ye from the Lin family of Changhong Bank. I told you about him yesterday."

This was not the first time that Lin Ye had seen Zhongli. In the past, when he was drinking tea or listening to opera, he had occasionally seen Zhongli sitting alone and drinking calmly. At that time, Lin Ye just paid attention to him but had never thought of getting to know him.

This time it was the time traveler Lin Ye who met Zhongli.

Zhongli put down the teacup and looked at Lin Ye. His gaze stayed on the Eye of God on Lin Ye's waist for a moment without any expression, and then he glanced at Shen He.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli. I have heard of your great name for a long time. We have actually met by chance many times before, but unfortunately we have never met each other."

"When fate arrives, we will meet again." Zhongli said with a smile.

“That’s right.” Lin Ye also smiled, but he was criticizing in his heart, is this the reason why your small guarantee is crooked?

"Oh, please stop being polite. Zhongli, I've already told you about Lin Ye's situation, but you kept it a secret and didn't tell me. Now that he's here, isn't it time to tell me?"

"Master Hu, I'm not keeping you in suspense. I know a little bit about the Lin family's affairs, but..." Zhongli said calmly, his tone tinged with melancholy.

Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This tone was mysteriously like a traveler asking Zhongli about Sky Island.

"I have a contract. Your mother and I have made an agreement. She is concerned about your safety. I am sorry that I cannot tell you what I know."

"I know a little about Zun Xin's physique. His talent for connecting with ghosts and gods is rare in the world. I thought he had long been extinct. I never thought I would meet your mother by chance."

"From what Mr. Zhongli said, did my mother foresee that she would be killed?" Lin Ye was not discouraged by Zhongli's secrecy. After thinking about it, he asked back.

"Indeed." Zhongli said approvingly.

"Mr. Zhongli, I have expressed my doubts. You just need to say what you can say."

Zhongli nodded.

So, Lin Ye told them about his experience last night, omitting all the things related to the system. Shen He then realized that Lin Ye was in danger and blamed himself for no reason. Hu Tao's eyes lit up. Only after getting rid of a fierce ghost could he be considered a subordinate of her, Master Hu.

"The origin of the bronze mirror is related to a person I know. It was formed from his resentment after his death. It can reflect yin and yang and can also retain ghost images."

"The bronze mirror has merged with your Divine Eye. Now it has become a completely new existence. It's interesting. Even I have never seen it in all these years." Zhongli said.

"You make it sound like you've lived for many years, Zhongli. You look so young, but you talk like an old antique." Hu Tao complained.

Zhongli smiled but said nothing.

Lin Ye complained in his heart, Zhongli has lived for many years, he is the longest-lived old man among the Seven Gods.

However, the acquaintance Zhongli mentioned was probably not at the demon god level, and Lin Ye suddenly felt under great pressure.

Chapter 18 Zhongli will attack in the form of Geo King!

Just think about it, what if you traveled to the world of Teyvat and made an enemy with a demon-level guy?

So, how should we survive?

According to the information Lin Ye had learned, the Wind God of Mondstadt was missing at this time. His devout followers still praised his diligence and greatness, but were unwilling to give a little Mora to a street singer.

Inazuma still implemented the isolation order, and the homegirl threw herself into the still eternity, unleashing endless thunderstorms to kill batch after batch of Ningbingduhai Zhenjun.

As for Mount Sumeru, forget it. The god of wisdom there is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save himself.

Like Fontaine, Natta, and winter, the forest has no roots.

It seems that Liyue was safest in the period before this traveler arrived.

At that time, Liyue was still protected by the Rock King, whose soul had not yet returned to heaven.

Full of security!

Should I try to pull the monsters in? Divert the aggro?

Lin Ye glanced at Zhongli, who had a calm and indifferent expression. Feeling guilty, he wondered if Zhongli had considered committing suicide at this time.

Why not hint to Zhongli to change the script. It's too casual to have the immortal die in the ceremony. Why not change it to have Prince Geo fight against the ancient grudge, and finally turn into light and die together, so as to earn the tears of the people of Liyue?

Zhongli felt that Lin Ye's look at him was a little strange, and thought that he was worried about his life, so he comforted him.

"Master Lin Ye, don't worry. From what I know about him, if he really finds you, he will definitely take action immediately without leaving any hidden dangers, even if it means he is dealing with a mortal."

“Mr. Zhongli, isn’t it even more terrifying now that you put it that way?” Lin Ye couldn’t help but complain, and then added respectfully, “Mr. Zhongli, you can just call me Lin Ye.”

"Okay then." Zhongli responded calmly.

Hu Tao on the side glanced at Lin Ye and felt that he was too respectful to Zhong Li. He was very polite from the beginning, as if he had never met any important person. Please, she was the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, and she had never seen Lin Ye being so respectful to her, Hu Tao.

Someone called out "Master Hu" but actually acted very casually.

Lin Ye naturally didn't know what was going on in Hu Tao's mind. If he knew, he would probably hesitate whether to tell her. Some people call Hu Tao their wife but secretly save up raw stones for other women. Isn't that even more disrespectful and despicable?

After seeing Lin Ye, Zhongli felt a little emotional and continued.

"I am also saddened by your mother's death. After all, she was one of the few old acquaintances of mine." Zhongli's voice was steady, yet it also revealed an ancient vicissitude. "Since you can come to see me, it means that she has succeeded to some extent."

"She came to me before. She had already made her choice and realization. This was a fateful feud, and also an end."

"The one who can completely destroy him is your mother."

"Don't worry, he should be in a period of weakness. The seal from that year has not yet been lifted."

Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded and said nothing.

Lin Ye was also thinking about how to get more clues from Zhongli.

Although the contract was in place, Zhongli could not tell Mu Xiaojin about his plan or the relationship between Mu Xiaojin and Quantai.

As the God of Contract, Zhongli can be said to be the most secretive person in the entire Teyvat, but Lin Ye may not be able to avoid bugs.

Lin Ye decided to use Prince Yan as a lie detector after getting more clues. He said that if Zhongli didn't say anything, it meant he was right!

The first thing is to understand that the evil ghost was a demon-level enemy when he was alive, and the bronze mirror was a part of him after his death. Later, it was stolen by Lin Ye and became his own.

Lin Ye needs to make sure that the evil ghost won't take advantage of this to "see" him in return.

Expressed my concerns.

Zhongli analyzed it for a while and said seriously.

"From a common sense point of view, no. Although the bronze mirror once belonged to him, they have been separated for a long time and the connection between them has long been severed."

"Besides, this bronze mirror has always been kept by your mother. Now that it has merged with the Eye of God, the power of the God of Fire can be trusted."

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.

"My mother asked you to keep it a secret and didn't want me to get involved. It seems that she has taken care of her affairs after her death. But according to the contract, Quan Tai is not dead. Will I be safe if I don't care?"

After all, not to mention Lin Ye's safety, if he didn't come back, Lin Xiaofeng would also die.

The more beautiful a woman is, the less reliable her words are. This is what Mu Xiaojin learned after she tricked Lin Ye into giving her candy when he was a child.

Therefore, Lin Ye felt that Mu Xiaojin was unreliable.

Zhongli did not answer immediately, but spoke after a while.

“This question has no relevance to the content of the contract.”

"So I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Zhongli."

"…Based on common sense, there is a 50% chance that this will happen."

"This concerns my life and it's not 100% certain. So I can't just leave it to fate. My fate is in my own hands!" Lin Ye shrugged helplessly.

"Oh, your blood is boiling." Walnut said admiringly.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lin Ye sighed and replied to Hu Tao.

"I once heard Quan Tai mention taking back everything that belonged to him. His goal is not just to kill our entire family, but he is likely to kill more people."

When Lin Ye told Zhongli what happened in the bronze mirror, he had already made it clear indirectly that calling the evil ghost by its name would not create any connection.

Lin Ye's words were a crazy hint to Zhongli.

Zhongli looked at Lin Ye for a long time. He vaguely realized that the young man in front of him seemed to know something.

But the Lord doesn’t care.

"As per the contract and your mother's wish, I will do my best to protect the innocent."

“And when things really become unstoppable, the Geo Emperor will protect Liyue.” Zhongli took a sip of tea and said calmly.

I have to say that whether in the plot or in the combat experience, Zhongli gives people a full sense of security, except that he is a bit rough in the second creation.

"There's no need to make such a big deal. Lord Yan is already busy with his affairs. It's just a trivial matter. There's still me, the hall master, who's job is to bury the living and the dead." Hu Tao listened to what Lin Ye and Zhong Li said and became more and more confused. She stood up and said with confidence.

"Indeed." Zhongli smiled when he heard that, and turned his head to look at Hu Tao who had her hands on her hips, with a doting look in his eyes.

Then Walnut retorted, "You're still laughing. Aren't you ashamed that someone you knew became a big trouble after his death? Why didn't you persuade him to be more positive when he was alive?"

Zhongli: ...

Lin Ye was a little confused and tried to hold back his laughter, but at the same time he felt relieved. From what Zhongli said, if Quan Tai returned, it would mean that Mu Xiaojin's plan had failed and the contract would be invalid.

Then, Zhongli, the guest of the Hall of Rebirth, the idle wanderer in the world, and the strolling uncle, will attack in the form of Rock King, one of the seven final winners of the Demon God War and known as the "God of War"! !

Lin Ye's mind is very active.

During normal investigations, if he and Hu Tao are in danger of their lives, they can also shout to Lord Yan for protection!

Lin Ye just didn't believe that Zhongli would not take action.

Hu Tao and Xiao both grew up under Zhongli's care. In the Five Yakshas storyline, Xiao was almost killed by a sword, but Zhongli's back figure calmed the hearts of countless players.

Parents should not be partial.

Although Lin Ye did not get a direct answer from his conversation with Zhongli, he at least had an idea in his mind.

The current information is as follows:

Quan Tai, a demon-level grudge, is acquainted with Zhongli. He was probably a defeated general during the Demon-God War. In the Bronze Mirror World, he once told Mu Xiaojin to take back everything, and his purpose is most likely to fight for Liyue.

There is also the word "Wuwangpo", which may be the focus of future investigation. Hu Tao often goes there and should know more about it. I will ask him about it later.

As for the relationship between Mu Xiaojin and Quantai, as well as Mu Xiaojin's subsequent methods, Zhongli, the only one who knows the truth, acts as a riddle teller.

Oh, one more thing, Quan Tai is the original match for the bronze mirror, and now it is matched with Lin Ye.

"[Tongshenghua] Progress of subsequent tasks: 30%"

Lin Ye was stunned. Looking at the system, did he need to actively collect information about the Quantai? Only in this way could he unlock new follow-up tasks?

The tasks given by other people's systems are all spoilers, but when it comes to me, I have to collect enough clues myself for the system to release the tasks.

Lin Ye wanted to cry but had no tears.

Having said that, it’s time to end this conversation.
