What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

Throughout history, there have only been two people in Teyvat whom she has called brother.

One is Morax, because from the moment she was born with intelligence and turned into a white dragon, the one she saw was Morax...

Although the little Naga cried miserably when she opened her eyes and saw a mountain falling towards her...

Ahem, although the first encounter was not pleasant, Naga has always called Morax brother since then.

But in theory, Morax and Naga are in an adopted relationship.

She is closer to Ruota in nature, and they can even be said to be siblings.

Now that I, Morax, am already here, there is no need to say more about the true identity of 'Brother Kun'.

"..." Zhongli glanced at Zhong Ling and saw that she was smiling.

Obviously, Zhong Ling had discovered Kunjun's true identity from the beginning, and then she realized that she had not discovered it, so she deliberately used this method to hint herself.

"I saw them leave Lingju Pass and head towards Nantianmen." Zhong Ling pointed in the direction of Nantianmen. "What's strange is that the four miners looked very dull, giving people a feeling that something is wrong."

"Let's catch up quickly."

"'South Gate of Heaven'?" Kunjun looked thoughtful. "As far as I can remember, there is no mining area near 'South Gate of Heaven'."

"Not only is there no mining area over there, but even the area around the giant tree is a restricted area." Zhong Ling waved his hand and said.

Although there is no explicit order prohibiting mortals from going to the "Nantianmen", everyone who has arrived understands it.

Once you get near the 'Nantianmen', you will be affected by the power of the immortals and change your intentions unconsciously, so it doesn't matter if it is a restricted area.

"Restricted area? I haven't heard of this term." Kunjun scratched the back of his head in confusion. "However, this matter is not very common. In my opinion... we should report this matter to the General Affairs Department."

"Indeed, a little girl can control the minds of others, and use this power to control four miners to go to the Immortal Forbidden Zone. This is very unusual." Zhong Ling nodded. "However, they have been taken away for six days. Six days can do a lot of things. If we waste time on trivial matters such as looking for the General Affairs Department, those miners are likely to be in danger."

Zhong Ling wanted to find out what the little blue-haired girl wanted to do.

When we met that time, she asked, "Are you here to pay a visit to 'that'?"

The only person who can be described as "paying homage" near the "Fulong Tree" is the Ruta Dragon King.

Therefore, what the little girl was going to do must be related to Ruota, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly both publicly and privately.

And Zhong Ling is fearless!

Morax, Rota, and Naga are all here. If there is something that they cannot solve together, then it can only be the will of heaven that punishes Liyue.

"Moreover, my brother, Ying and I are all 'God's Eye holders' and possess a certain degree of combat power. If we really encounter something, we can also fight back." Zhong Ling moved his arms, and the 'Water God's Eye' hanging on his sleeves shook.

"I didn't think it through. Mr. Zhong Ling is right." Kunjun nodded in agreement.

"Then let's head towards the 'Nantianmen' as quickly as possible!" Paimeng shouted excitedly.

----

"Look, is that the missing miner?!" Paimon, who was flying at a higher altitude and looking around, suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

With Paimon's guidance, they quickly reached the miners.

"I can still dig..." The miner lying on the ground muttered to himself, waving his hands as if he was holding a mattock.

"Wow, he's a hard worker!" Ying exclaimed. "He's still hardworking even though he's like this?"

"Yes, indeed." Zhong Ling glanced at him and nodded. "It seems that because his mind was controlled, he walked here without sleep and then collapsed due to overwork."

"Although his consciousness is controlled and he doesn't feel tired, his body still has its limits."

"Wow? Linglong, how did you know it at first glance?" Paimeng widened his eyes in surprise.

"Liyue's medical skills are basically 'look, listen, ask, and feel'. Observation is the foundation of the foundations. Although I am not proficient in medical skills, I also know a thing or two." Zhong Ling said as a matter of course.

"That's a classic example of the Zhong brothers and sisters 'knowing a thing or two'!" Paimon exclaimed.

"..."

"Mr. Zhong Ling, what should we do now?" Kunjun asked.

"There are some camps of travelers and adventurers nearby. We can send him there." Zhongli pointed in a direction. "As for removing the abnormality in his mind, Linglong is better at it."

"Indeed." Zhong Ling raised his sword, and the azure water elemental power and golden immortal power mixed together and turned into a ball of water.

Then Zhong Ling snapped his fingers and the water ball hit the miner directly in the face. In just a moment, he was silent, and his waving hands and feet fell to the ground with a bang.

"Okay, he's already fallen asleep, so he won't continue to overdraw his energy. But after this disaster, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month."

He had overdrawn his energy too much. Although Zhong Ling had treated him, the human body would still have corresponding reactions, such as soreness for ten days or half a month and being unable to move.

"It looks like Linglong knocked him out." Ying said to Paimeng in a low voice.

'Hmmmm.'

"Get up." Zhong Ling waved her hand, and water mist gathered under the miner, carrying the miner and following Zhong Li who was leading the way, to the camp he mentioned.

After settling the miners, Zhongli also left some guiding marks nearby.

As long as Lao Dai and his team get nearby, the clues to the rock elemental force structure will naturally lead them here to pick up the miner.

"Well, it's almost done." Zhongli turned around and looked at the giant tree not far away.

This tree is very different from what it was thousands of years ago, and its trunk has turned into jade.

C.73 Who taught you to recite poetry like this?

"Is this the immortal restricted area? It doesn't look like there's anything special here." Kunjun looked around in confusion.

"Brother Kun, don't you think this tree is very special?"

"Mr. Zhong Ling is right." Kunjun looked at the giant tree and nodded. "This tree is so strange... The trunk has actually crystallized. How did it do that?"

"It is said that it crystallized because it absorbed a large amount of earth vein elements."

"I see." Kunjun nodded thoughtfully. "Can you see anything about the water nearby, Mr. Zhong Ling?"

"No." Zhong Ling shook her head. "It's very strange. I can still see the little girl and the miner near the seal, but I can't see them when I get around the seal."

"This is completely the opposite of what I imagined."

Although the seal was set up by all the immortals together, it was reinforced by Zhong Ling at a later stage.

As time goes by, basically 99% of the runes around the 'Fulong Tree' were updated by Zhong Ling later.

In other words, this is already Zhong Ling's territory, and she can easily mobilize these runes.

To be honest, the seal has been set up for such a long time. In this area, Zhong Ling is almost invincible, unless [Emperor Rock King] goes all out, he can break the seal here.

Otherwise, even if Morax was here, Zhong Ling would be confident that he could suppress him.

Although Morax is the 'strongest', he is still not as 'invincible' as [Geogod].

It is precisely because the seals here were almost all set by Zhong Ling, so she has the strongest perception of every tree and blade of grass here, and no movement can escape her perception.

To hide from Zhong Ling's perception, the other party must be one with this world.

“There aren’t any high-quality stones nearby. Although there are quite a few beautiful ones, I can’t remember them.” Kunjun shook his head regretfully.

"This is so weird..." Zhong Ling pinched her chin and thought, but in fact, she released her perception.

Still nothing... huh?

Zhong Ling didn't show it on her face, but she was completely confused.

Indeed, the other party's aura merged into the heaven and earth, completely concealing Zhong Ling's senses.

But under the 'Fulong Tree', rocks would occasionally fall or be broken.

In other words, although the other party had concealed Zhong Ling's perception of him.

But it did not obscure Zhong Ling's perception of the environment.

It's like an invisible person. Although he himself cannot be seen, what he does leaves traces.

Weird?

Could something be able to hide from her perception yet leave such an obvious loophole?

"What happened?" Although Zhong Ling didn't react on the surface, Zhong Li noticed the fluctuation of her aura.

"It's nothing. Let's get closer and take a look. Since the little girl brought the miners here, it must be related to the 'Fulong Tree'." Although he had discovered something wrong, Zhong Ling still planned to guide Kunjun to the 'Fulong Tree'.

Only by getting close to the 'Fulong Tree' can Kunjun figure out the reason for his appearance. This is also the reason why Zhong Ling wants to pull Zhongli to act for Kunjun and lead him here.

Although Zhong Ling has a way to directly awaken the consciousness in Kunjun's body, that consciousness is too weak.

The less consumption the better.

"In that case, let's look for clues around here." Zhongli nodded. "I'll go this way."

"Haha~ Then Brother Kun, let's go this way." Zhong Ling's laughter seemed to be a little difficult to control. She covered her face and pointed to the front of the 'Fulong Tree' with her other hand.

"Oh, okay, Mr. Zhong Ling." Kunjun, who was somewhat puzzled by Zhong Ling's smile, nodded quickly and followed Zhong Ling to the other side.

"Eh? What is Linglong laughing at?" Paimeng scratched his hair in confusion.

"Spring is the best time of the year, and I meet you again during the season of falling flowers. I should be overjoyed." Ying put his hands behind his back, looking like a big boss.

"Um, traveler, please don't recite Liyue's poem at this time. And I remember the original text was not like this. Spring is the season of flowers blooming, why is it the season of falling flowers? Eh? Traveler, wait for me!"

When Ying and Paimeng caught up with Zhong Ling and Kunjun, they were standing in front of a stone tablet of the 'Fulong Tree'.

"Is it a stone tablet? What's written on it?" Paimon approached the stone tablet. "The dragon is sleeping here, no one is allowed to disturb it?"

"Does this mean that there is a dragon sleeping under the tree?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Zhong Ling nodded. "Do you remember it?"

"..." Kunjun hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhong Ling. "From the moment we met, you recognized me?"

"That's natural. No matter what you become, I can recognize you."

"Hehe..." Kunjun was slightly stunned, then laughed. "Yes."

"Then, can you explain why you want to possess a mortal, brother Ruota?"

"Brother Ruota?!" Paimon's eyes widened in shock. "Xiao Kun is... [Ruota Dragon King]?!"

"Of course." Zhong Ling nodded. "Ying should have guessed it too, right?"

"Of course." Ying reached out and grabbed Paimeng, rubbing her cheek. "Paimeng, Paimeng, besides Zhongli, have you ever seen Linglong call anyone else 'brother'? And Linglong also said that Kunjun's identity is not ordinary, he is an immortal."

"Eh? That's not a normal...ah!" Paimon reacted. "Linglong has been saying 'Brother Kun' instead of 'Brother Kun'!"

Because "brother" and "brother" have the same meaning, Paimon didn't react.

"Hmm..." Ruo Tuo pinched his chin and looked at Ying in thought for a moment before nodding. "There are two important things for me to do this time."

"What's the matter?" Zhong Ling became serious.

Being able to allow Rudra to appear in this form must be a very extraordinary event.

"The first is to find you, or Morax." Ruota said bluntly. "The first thing is coming soon, so I won't go into details."

"Secondly, it's also for you..."

"Everyone, come here." Before Ruota could finish his words, Zhongli's voice came from the other side.

"Let's go. We'll explain after the matter is resolved." Ruo Tuo nodded to Zhong Ling and walked towards the back of the 'Fulong Tree'.

"Ying, let's go over too." Zhong Ling pinched Paimeng's cheek.

"I see. This is what you just said, Traveler, 'The best time of the year is spring, and I meet you again in the season of falling flowers', right?" Paimon nodded.

"Ying... who taught you to recite poetry like this?" Zhong Ling's eyebrows twitched. "You recited it very well. Don't recite it again next time."

"cough..."

C.74 Choose to be beaten?

"It's amazing that he was able to hide from my perception along with three miners." The group walked into the dug tunnel. Zhong Ling said as he looked at the three miners who were digging the soil frantically in front of him.

"Moreover, they disappeared six days ago, and it was two days ago when they arrived at the 'Fulong Tree'. In just two days, they were able to dig such a large tunnel under my seal."

"How did they do it? Who could do it..."

Suddenly, a blue-haired figure appeared silently behind the few people, and the dark power gathered around her and transformed into two weak-looking black balls.

Anyone who saw that power would be able to feel how huge and ominous that dark power was.
