In her words... although her eyebrows don't look very cute, but at least with a little makeup, she can be a heroic and beautiful girl. As long as she is a beautiful girl, there is no way she can escape from the palm of her hand!
Turning his head to look at the two girls busy in the kitchen, Yu Qi turned back to the backyard. At this time, the seal on the Wangsheng Hall had basically been arranged, and it only needed to place the core at the end so that it could take effect.
This speed was much faster than Yu Qi had imagined. It took more than an hour to complete such a troublesome barrier. He also repaired his backyard and adjusted the terrain.
This speed of infrastructure construction... I can only say that it takes elemental power to be incredible.
Watching Zhongli press a button casually, the pavilion in the yard rose from the ground. He carefully stuffed the "Core of Mourning" into the ground and put the pavilion back. After the ground closed up, no trace of it could be seen at all. It was so smooth that even the stone slabs seemed to be brighter.
Zhongli even helped to correct the shape and placement of the pavilion, which looked much more comfortable and beautiful than before.
Yu Qi couldn't help but sigh. He was probably the first one to ask the God of Rock to help him "clear the dust"!
With this in mind, Grandma Ping saw that the barrier of the Hall of Rebirth was completed, and she also started to get busy. Although she was not really opening up a cave, but only creating a half cave similar to the one that fixed the Chen Ge Pot, her face still showed a serious expression in front of her boss.
He made hand seals, and immortal energy flowed. Spells and formations were cast down along with the materials prepared in advance. The space in the entire backyard seemed to become hazy.
After seeing off the tired-looking ceremonial attendants in the Hall of Rebirth, when Yu Qi returned to the backyard, he saw such an inexplicably chaotic scene. Grandma Ping and the others were standing at the entrance of the backyard, constantly arranging something.
After Zhongli's explanation, Yu Qi realized that they were fixing the entrance to the cave.
When it is completely over, people coming in from other directions can only see an ordinary small courtyard, and only those who enter from the entrance with the cave certificate can truly enter this cave.
It is also to ensure safety - to prevent those who break in without permission from losing their lives in vain.
"Hu~" After a long breath, Grandma Ping stopped performing magic and wiped the sweat from her forehead tiredly: "Ah, I'm getting old. It's so tiring to open up a cave. My old body is not as strong as before!"
"Thank you for your hard work, grandma. Come, have some water!" Yu Qi tactfully handed over a glass of honey water, and Yan Fei praised her, "Grandma, you are joking. You are still very young. You opened up such a big cave easily. Other immortals would not be so fast!"
"Haha, this is the only trick I can come up with as an old woman." Grandma Ping took the honey water with a smile and looked at Yu Qi in surprise. As an immortal, she could naturally feel the surging spiritual energy brewing in it. It was almost comparable to the spiritual medicines in her collection.
She took a sip, feeling the vitality flowing through her body, and looked at everyone in the lobby holding a glass of honey water. Grandma Ping couldn't help but pause, and then fell silent.
"Grandma?"
"It's okay." She smiled and drank the liquid in the cup. Grandma Ping took out a light golden token from her bosom and handed it to Yu Qi: "This is the deputy order of the Cave Heaven Pass. Yu Qi, keep it well. I ordered me to hang it at the gate of the courtyard. From now on, you can enter and exit the backyard cave heaven at will.
If you don’t want anyone to enter, just take down the cave pass.”
"Well, okay, thank you grandma." He took the token with both hands and carefully put it into his arms. Of course, after putting it into his clothes, Yu Qi put it into the inventory.
Only in this way can he truly feel at ease.
"Well, grandma, please take a seat first. Dinner will be served soon. I will go into the cave and set up some things first!"
"Okay, go ahead and do your work." Nodding, Grandma Ping naturally walked to a place not far from Zhongli with the help of Yan Fei and sat down.
"This person must be the famous Mr. Zhongli from Liyue Harbor. I heard that you are well-versed in history and not only do you know a lot about the past of Liyue Harbor, but you are also very proficient in clothing, daily necessities, pearls, jade, porcelain, wine, food, snacks, tea, spices, flowers, insects and birds, not to mention trade, politics, and finance.
Such erudition really makes me admire him! I have heard of his fame for a long time, and today I have the opportunity to see him in person. He is indeed worthy of his reputation. "
"No, the Immortal is flattering me." Listening to Grandma Ping's calm flattery, Zhongli's mouth twitched. He could naturally see the amusement and ridicule in the eyes of this "old lady". He shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just a false reputation brought up by others. I only know a little about various matters.
How dare I boast like this in front of the immortal? "
"Haha, Mr. Zhongli is too modest. It just so happens that I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Please~"
Then, the two of them naturally began to chat about the past. The rise and fall, migration, and changes of Liyue were so varied and jumpy that the people who were listening attentively on the side could not help but have a hard time following the topic.
Seeing this, Keqing checked the surroundings again, and after making sure that there would not be any major problems, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Hu Tao was quick to stop her and said, "Master Yu Hengxing, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay and have a simple meal together?"
"..." Looking at the somewhat attentive Hu Tao, Keqing rubbed her forehead helplessly: "Master Hu, the matter of promoting the Wangsheng Hall you mentioned is not my responsibility. It's no use for you to come to me!
Instead of trying to entangle me, you might as well go directly to Qun Yu Pavilion to find Ning Guang, she is the one in charge of business. "
Although... Keqing is not sure whether "promoting the Hall of Rebirth" can be considered a commercial behavior.
"Oh, I didn't mean that!" Hu Tao sighed helplessly and shook her ponytails: "I just want to discuss with you about this year's invitation ceremony. I heard that you, Lord Yuhengxing, will host it this year, right?"
“Ah?! Inviting the Immortal Ceremony? Master Hu, what do you want to do?” For a moment, Keqing was shocked.
Chapter 59 When Everything Can Explode
Not to mention the subsequent tugs of war between Hu Tao and Keqing, as Yu Qi stepped into the backyard gate, he only felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the whole person seemed to have entered into something void, which made him feel a little panicked.
But before Yu Qi could react, he felt the ground beneath his feet and light gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
The intersection was just a brief moment, and actually lasted less than a millisecond. If Yu Qi hadn't vaguely sensed something through the grass elemental power, he would probably have thought that nothing had happened.
"Hiss~ What was that?" Yu Qi couldn't help but raise his hand and press his forehead. His head ached slightly, and he recalled what he felt in the blink of an eye just now.
The deep darkness, the surging chaos, the towering ancient trees, the spreading filth, the evil beasts everywhere, and that noble figure entangled by countless thorns emitting a pitch-black aura.
"...The world... has forgotten..."
"Who is she?" He frowned, the intermittent murmurs kept echoing in his mind. The slowly dissipating pain made Yu Qi breathe a sigh of relief, his heart full of questions.
"What is that place?"
"And why can I sense this information?"
Looking back at the entrance to the cave in the backyard, Yu Qi saw a plain house, and could vaguely see the people in the lobby in front.
Hu Tao and Keqing (Keqing?) are laughing and playing;
Zhongli and Granny Ping sat aside, chatting and laughing;
Ganyu held the honey water in her hands, and her expression seemed a little conflicted for some reason;
Yan Fei was whispering something beside her, with a slight blush on her face;
The kitchen was bustling with activity, the pot was spitting out flames, Xiangling was standing in front of the pot with a serious expression, while Alicia was helping out on the side, and then she quietly closed the distance when Xiangling wasn't paying attention...
The lively, natural and peaceful scene gradually calmed Yu Qi's originally inexplicably depressed heart.
"Before I knew it, I've met so many people in this world!"
His past life on Earth emerged in his mind. Although only half a month had passed, Yu Qi felt as if he was in another world. Those lonely memories of the past were like old photos buried in dust, gradually fading away.
Only in the brief light and shadow under the sunshine of memory can a hint of color emerge from the foggy world.
Shaking his head and burying those past memories again, Yu Qi calmed down and his mind reappeared everything he felt when he entered the cave just now. Faintly, he caught a glimpse of subtle spiritual light.
'It seems to be... related to the grass element? The cave is built on the ground veins. Although I used the emerald stone as a material to stabilize the space in this half cave, I still built it next to the ground vein for convenience.
So, when I was traveling through the passage between reality and the cave, the grass elemental power in my body accidentally connected to the earth veins, which is why I received that strange information? ! '
Standing in place, Yu Qi quickly sorted out the clues: "If I remember correctly, after I awakened the grass elemental power, I seemed to be able to vaguely sense a huge ancient tree through the ground veins. I always thought it was just an illusion caused by my lack of adaptation to the environment of Teyvat. Now it seems that it is not an illusion!
Is there really such a huge ancient tree under Teyvat, and the situation of it and its... owner (?) is quite worrying? That kind of filth, and the evil beasts..."
After exhaling again, Yu Qi gave up on continuing to think about it. After all, his understanding of Teyvat was too one-sided, and a lot of information was only superficial. Therefore, when encountering such a thing, it was difficult to restore the truth based on just a few pieces of information.
"After I find a way to learn the Teyvat language today, I'll go buy some history books and read them."
Although there are many things that are impossible to be recorded in publicly circulated history books, Yu Qi can still understand some simple context through the few words in them.
After all, if such horrible filth, disaster, and evil beasts really appeared on Teyvat, it would be absolutely impossible to keep it secret.
"At most, if I find out that it is not something I can intervene in, I will just tell Zhongli directly. After all, as the god of this world, he will not turn a blind eye to such a disaster."
"Unless, humans were forced to forget that history... and the culprit was the God himself!"
Shaking his head and suppressing the inexplicable suspicion, Yu Qi looked up and began to look at his backyard which had changed drastically.
Overall, the backyard is no longer as cramped as it was at the beginning. After being expanded by Grandma Ping, it looks like a vast plain.
Underfoot was a slightly damp patch of mud, with a winding stone path in the middle leading all the way to the center of the backyard.
At the end of the path was the pavilion that Zhongli had picked up and put back in place. The 'Core of Mourning', the core of the entire seal, was now quietly placed under the pavilion.
Looking further back along the pavilion, you will see the source of the current situation - Zhuoyin Spring.
However, compared to before, the Zhuoyin Spring at this moment is no longer cold at all, except that the water is still as dark as ink. The three-meter-square spring pool is no different from an ordinary pool.
Reaching out a water pitcher, Yu Qi tentatively scooped a jar of pond water from it. The moment the pitcher left the pond, an extremely cold aura circulated, catching Yu Qi off guard and causing him to shiver.
"Sigh~"
After shaking his body and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the water in the pool, Yu Qi finally felt relieved. Moreover, he remembered that Zhongli had said that because of the existence of the Mourning Core, the quality of the Zhuoyin Spring itself would continue to improve over time due to the extremely pure power of death.
"Could it be possible to upgrade a two-star spring water directly to a three-star level? That would be incredible!" Yu Qi muttered to himself, then put away the jar, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Wait a minute, could this be the reason why Zhongli was so anxious to set up the barrier, even going so far as to 'artificially' create so many coincidences yesterday?"
After all, for a god of this level... a ghost, a two-star Zhuo Yin Spring mixed with Yuan Yang Dan can only slightly delay the weakening of consciousness, but if it is upgraded to three stars...
"So, this is how all gods play?"
Glancing at the pavilion at his feet with a strange expression, Yu Qi recalled the things that Zhongli had taken away from him in the past two days, the Zhuoyin Spring, Yuanyang Pill, Blood Recovery Pill and Multicolored Candy.
Except for the blood-restoring pill which can only be used to stop bleeding and heal wounds, which is probably for the benefit of the ritual attendants in the Hall of Rebirth, the others are probably related to things like memory, consciousness, and soul, combined with the conjecture that 'he did so much just to improve the quality of the Zhuoyin Spring as much as possible'.
"Could it be that Zhongli has a friend who is just like Qiqi, with incomplete consciousness and memory? Or is he simply a god-level ghost?"
Scratching his head, Yu Qi couldn't help but look back at Zhongli in the lobby. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and had no intention of doing anything more about it.
After all, if Yu Qi's guess was true, then based on Zhongli's revealed character, after he really rescued his friend, he would definitely tell everything the truth.
In that case, Yu Qi would actually become the savior of a god. Even if their behavior was a transaction based on mutual consent, it would still be considered a big favor.
The most important thing is that before the goal is achieved, Zhongli will most likely not watch anything happen to Yu Qi. Being protected by someone who might be one of the Seven Gods of the continent, Yu Qi inexplicably feels at ease.
"Does this mean that I passively found a backer for myself?"
Shaking his head in a helpless manner, Yu Qi looked at Zhuoyinquan again, then stood up and began to organize the things in his inventory.
The first thing he did was to take out the Yiqi stove and place it on the other side of the pavilion, facing the Zhuoyin Spring from a distance.
The moment the huge cauldron appeared, the already rich spiritual energy in the cave began to rise again, mixed with the mouth-watering aroma of food, and Yu Qi couldn't help swallowing.
After clearing the place for a while, Yu Qi took out the various forging tools that had been delivered in the morning and placed them one by one.
After a moment, looking at the furnishings in front of him, which were not much different from the blacksmith shop in his memory except that there was no roof and no ore, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then turned to look to the other side.
In his hand, a card appeared.
"Two-star card: A grass grid in a game used to grow plants. After the plants are planted, their growth rate will be greatly increased, and their quality will also be slightly improved. Currently, the following plants can be grown: sunflowers, peas, and nuts. You can scan specific plants to include them."
This is what he drew two days ago, on the day he drew Alicia.
To be honest, he was a little confused when he saw this thing for the first time.
Isn't this the thing in PVZ, Plants vs. Zombies? It's the grass in the backyard of Dave's neighbor who is attacked by zombies every day.
How is this thing related to "food"? To be honest, which plant, the Peashooter or the Sunflower, doesn't fit the definition of "food" better than this thing?
However, considering that he could even draw something like 'soul' from the card pool, it was not surprising that Yu Qi did this.
Looking at the card in his hand, Yu Qi thought for a moment, and then took out another card that he had just drawn when he traveled through time and space.
"Three-star card, blasting nuts".
Looking at the two cards placed together, Yu Qi couldn't help but grin: "That's perfect, isn't it."
With a flick of the finger, a green lawn appeared before my eyes, just like the grass in Plants vs. Zombies, with green and fluffy grass and some bright red and yellow wild flowers in between, like a carpet spread on the ground.
On one side of the lawn, there was even a single wooden fence, which was exactly the same as the one in Plants vs. Zombies in Yu Qi's memory!
Except... the area of this grass grid might be a little too large.
"?!!" Yu Qi looked at the lawn in front of him, which was estimated to be at least 25 square meters, and his mouth twitched: "No, you call this a grass grid? Are you sure you didn't pull up all the grass in Dave's neighbor's backyard?"
Standing up and walking to the grass, Yu Qi stepped on the soft green grass and felt somewhat relaxed.
After a while, he squatted down and pulled apart the grass, looking at the densely packed rhizomes entangled in the soil below, but he was a little confused: "How can I grow things in this kind of grass?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a huge bag as tall as a person appeared next to Yu Qi, carrying an indescribable faint fragrance.
He reached into the bag and grabbed a handful of seeds. The seeds of the detonating nuts are somewhat similar to watermelon seeds, but they are slightly larger. Yu Qi grabbed about twenty or thirty seeds.
Tentatively picking up a seed, Yu Qi dug up the grass and pressed it into the soil.
However, what Yu Qi did not expect was that the moment he took his hand away, a golden light suddenly appeared on the nut seed, and then began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It sprouted, took root, and grew stems, from a young bud it became a small tree, and from a small tree it became an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves.
