"Once upon a time...those people were from Liyue! They were pushed out and exhausted by the Yuhengxing family. My son wanted to gain some military merits so he let me live in Feiyunpo, and then I died at the hands of the Red Warrior.
Xiangling...I watched her grow up, and I also fed her rice crust several times. I know it's not her fault, and I want to hate her, but I can't. If I don't hate her, I can't give them an explanation.
You tell me... should I resent her? Or should I forgive her? My husband and children did nothing wrong. Why did they just leave me like that?"
Seeing this, Lin Zixuan hurriedly cast a heart-clearing spell to prevent her from falling into a state of madness.
"Sorry, I was a little too excited." Su Erniang shook her head, as if trying to put these things aside.
"Don't worry, this tragedy will end soon."
"Thank you for your comfort. You and I are ordinary people. Under such circumstances, we can't cause any trouble. There will only be more and more tragedies."
"Yeah." Lin Zixuan did not refute. After saying goodbye to Su Erniang, he continued walking along the road to Chihuyan.
Many shops on the street have closed down, and the prosperous Chihuyan Street has long become a thing of the past.
"Huh? Someone is watching?" Lin Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction he sensed. It was a middle-aged uncle, and he seemed to have seen this face somewhere before. After recalling it, a young photo emerged in his mind. It was Shang Hua, Ye Lan's subordinate.
When Shang Hua saw Lin Zixuan looking at him, he ran away quickly.
"Tsk tsk, with this hiding technique, an ordinary search team would have definitely lost him." In Lin Zixuan's perception, Shang Hua was changing his clothes quickly, switching with another person and leaving.
Lisha suburb.
Shang Hua, who had already changed his clothes, was on his way to deliver the latest intelligence to the temporary base. After turning a small road, he saw Lin Zixuan in front of him with his back to him, which made him stunned.
"Who are you?" Shang Hua took out a dagger with one hand and prepared for battle, while the other hand seemed to be casting some kind of talisman behind his back.
"I need you to answer a few common sense questions."
"I'm not going to tell you anything!"
"Don't be nervous. What I need to know is not some secret matter, but 'common sense' information. For example, who is the current Tianshu Star?"
Shang Hua tensed up, ready to explode at any moment.
"Oh? Someone who can make you so nervous. In other words... the current Tianshu Star is Ye Lan, right? But her current condition should not be too good, right? When she was young, she always hurt herself and didn't seek treatment. Now that she is old, no matter how hard she tries to recuperate, she can't get better. She should be dying soon, right?"
"Nonsense! Lady Ye Lan is alive and well except for a slight cough!"
"Oh? It seems like there is an immortal helping you! Can you tell me the whereabouts of Beidou and Yanfei?"
"Don't want to know, check it yourself!"
A sharp whistling sound was heard from the sky, and Lin Zixuan looked up.
The Immortal Talisman Mechanical Bird was swooping down, with a person sitting on it. A long spear was thrown at Lin Zixuan's feet, forcing Lin Zixuan to retreat a distance.
A familiar figure jumped down from the Immortal Talisman Mechanical Bird and said to Shang Hua, "You retreat first, I'll cover your rear. Don't worry, I have a way to get rid of the pursuit."
Shang Hua didn't hesitate and boarded the mechanical bird and flew away.
The familiar figure waved her hand, and the spear stuck in the ground returned to her hand, and she got ready.
"Is Shang Hua really that important? He actually sent you to pick him up... Senior Sister Shen He."
"Senior sister? Master has never accepted a man as a disciple. Don't try to deceive me with your words."
Shen He didn't continue to talk nonsense and attacked Lin Zixuan directly. Lin Zixuan dodged left and right, so she couldn't touch him at all after stabbing for a long time.
"Your shooting is smooth and flowing, which is indeed worthy of praise. It's a pity that it is useless to me because I am too familiar with this shooting technique."
Shen He frowned when he saw that the spear technique was useless. He simply held the spear with his right hand and used magic with his left hand.
"Follow the law!" In an instant, eight looming Frost Cranes attacked Lin Zixuan.
"Not bad, not bad. The elemental explosion is mixed with the magic of the talisman spirit. Eight against one, plus a main body to attract attention, can indeed seriously injure many masters."
Shen He was shocked to see that his talisman attack was completely deflected by the unknown defense. He quickly used all his elemental power to form a large ice prison around Lin Zixuan, then took out a new fairy talisman mechanical bird and quickly fled from here.
Lin Zixuan waved his hand to dissipate the ice prison. Seeing Shen He already went far away, he gave up the idea of chasing him.
Immortal Talisman Mechanical Bird...It seems that they have finally come to their senses, and the most promising Immortal Talisman technology has finally been developed into a new use.
Next, let's go to the Wangshu Inn area that has been turned into an ocean. I don't know what the emperor's situation is like. Lin Zixuan turned into a stream of light and flew into the air.
Passing by Guiliyuan, I saw a lot of resentment condensed all over the ground, as well as piles of blood stasis growing everywhere, and I couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable.
Looking into the distance, a huge and towering rock mountain stood on the old site of Wangshu Inn. The inexplicable killing formation and aura near the rock mountain prevented people from entering, and there were several sunken flying warships in the water nearby.
Lin Zixuan directly broke into the highest point of the rock mountain.
"bump!"
"Bar!"
"I fooled you! Hehe!" a playful female voice came.
A fat shrunken dragon king, a shrunken Osel with only a head left, a playful girl, and Zhongli who sat upright. They were playing mahjong on the table, and when they saw an uninvited guest breaking in, they all turned their heads to look at the intruder.
"Uh... sorry to bother you." Lin Zixuan scratched his head and turned away.
Chapter 428 Unexpected Plan
"Outsider...please wait." Zhongli's voice came, and Lin Zixuan stopped.
"Hmm..." The clever girl came forward and looked at Lin Zixuan with her chin in her hand. "Interesting... It's actually a fake face, the curse is lifted!"
The middle-aged man's appearance cracked like glass, and then dissipated, revealing Lin Zixuan's true face.
“I originally thought he was just an ordinary outsider... I didn’t expect he had such a connection with Liyue.” Zhongli, who was also looking at Lin Zixuan, couldn’t help but say.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Lin Zixuan asked deliberately.
"This Liyue outfit of yours... is plain yet exudes luxury. The tailor who can sew this style must be very famous. It is also a magical weapon engraved with tens of thousands of immortal symbols. The plain ring on your hand... should be Ping'er's work, right? The shoes on your feet, the pendant on your neck, and the storage box on your arm are all magical weapons of Liyue.
If the immortals create some new magic weapons, they will invite me to taste them or give them names. I only recognize the skills on Ping'er's storage ring, but the skills used in the magic weapons on you have completely surpassed those immortals. "Zhongli said.
"Wow! You can make my core so small, how interesting." The girl opened the storage box on Lin Zixuan's left arm and took out a new shield the size of a palm. "No! There is something wrong with these immortal symbols, can they be combined in multiple ways?"
The shield storage box had no defense, so it was easily stolen by the clever girl.
"Your Guizhong? So you are the Demon God of Dust Guizhong? Nice to meet you." Lin Zixuan clasped his fists. He didn't expect to see Guizhong still alive here.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that someone would know my name." The girl smiled happily with her hands on her hips.
"He has the strength to break in without triggering the Rock Spear Killing Array. He has the aura of an immortal, and is a bit like a demon, and even a bit like a Dragon King. Osel, do you have any impression of this person?" The Dragon King Ruota asked Osel beside him.
"I've never seen or heard of such a special person." Osel also shook his head.
“From the looks of it, you seem to have a lot of questions. Liyue is a kingdom of contracts, so you can tell me about its origins first, and then I will answer your questions. What do you think?” Zhongli said.
"Contract? Well, I do have a lot of questions I want to ask." Lin Zixuan also nodded in agreement.
Lin Zixuan told everyone about what had happened to them, and he did not hide anything about the other Teyvat.
“What? I’m living in Liyue Harbor basking in the sun and retiring? That’s impossible!!!” said the Dragon King Ruota.
"No matter how hard you try, I can never become the guardian demon god of Liyue, and help open up new shipping routes? Are you kidding me?" Osel shook his head like a rattle.
"Damn it! That stinky bird actually accepted two apprentices? Even Ping'er has two apprentices. No! I have to accept apprentices too!" Gui Zhong also started complaining.
"The Four-Nation Alliance is mutually beneficial, and many new means of transportation will be born. It's a good idea. Alas~~~" Zhongli sighed. "It turns out that some variables are still needed."
After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, he heard Zhongli's words and vaguely sensed some truth. He deliberately asked: "Emperor, the people of Liyue are suffering outside, and countless people have died. We still need you to come forward to resolve this civil war."
"I was the one who deliberately allowed the civil war in Liyue to happen!" Zhongli said.
"Is it really like this?" Lin Zixuan also sighed.
“Only in this way can Liyue be reborn from the brink of death and shine with new glory.
You should know the situation in Liyue. Thousands of years of accumulation have accumulated too much filth. People lack the spirit of progress and indulge in the glory I brought them.
More than 500 years ago, I was surprised by the fighting power of Kanreya. I didn't expect that humans could achieve this level. What if they didn't use the power of the abyss, but other clean and harmless powers?
Then we saw Fontaine. They absorbed the fur technology of Kanriya, used the power of Manghuang to replace the energy of the ruins guards, created guard dogs, and then created humanoid guard mechanisms.
At this time, I thought, if Liyue had 30,000 humanoid guards during the battle of the Layered Rock Chasm, would the fate of the Thousand Rock Army be changed? Would Fushe still be alive?
I went on a secret visit and passed on some of the magic talismans and magic arts I had. My original intention was to let everyone experience the convenience brought by the magic arts.
However, the result went against their wishes. The people who got the magic talismans and magic arts regarded them as treasures and would not reveal them at all. They also used these magic talismans and magic arts to advance into various high-ranking positions.
Fontaine has already produced a camera that can take black and white photos, and the magic skill of "development and transformation" that I taught is still hung in the hall for worship.
Fontaine made a telescope, and the beast-controlling search technique "Your eyes are my eyes" that I taught him was used by the children of the nobility to spy on girls bathing.
......
Basically, whatever others have, we in Liyue also have spells with similar effects.
500 years later, in Liyue, after I gave up my power, how many of these magic arts were used? You should know this very well, right? The nobles of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates locked the magic arts tightly in their warehouses. The magic arts... became their family heritage.
Then I finally realized that I was the biggest obstacle to Liyue's progress.
The Rock King Emperor likes it, and the Rock King Emperor does it this way. This is the Rock King Emperor's "attention". The final result is that people lose their enterprising spirit.
Of course, I can issue an order to force them to improve, but such an order is meaningless. Fontaine has a prophecy and a sense of crisis, so they must improve. Liyue has no sense of crisis, and the order issued will only end up with the rapid depletion of research funds.
So I used the Fatui executive, Childe Tartaglia, to create a drama in which the Geo King was already dead. As for the result...
The Golden House Mint, which should have been the most heavily defended place in Liyue, was penetrated by Executor Tartaglia alone.
The set of immortal armor that could rival his left in the golden house was used by a 200-pound big-bellied general of the Qianyan Army. He was killed by Tartaglia before he could even last ten moves, and as a result, the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration was easily taken away by him.
Osel came out to catch his breath. He went to the Qun Yu Pavilion, but it was useless except for being a target to attract fire. Only two teams of Qianyan Army were arranged to shoot arrows from it, which couldn't even tickle Osel. "
"Where is my Guizhong phone?" Guizhong interrupted and asked.
"No one studied them or repaired them, so they were all broken. In the end, it was not until Master Liuyun Jiefeng took out three new versions of the Guizhong Machines that were modified a thousand years ago that the situation was alleviated."
"Hmph, you think you can hurt me with that broken thing?" Osel said with disdain.
"What happened next?" Lin Zixuan listened with great interest.
"Later, the Jade Pavilion was found, but Osel was not dealt with. Xiao was planning to self-destruct and die with Osel, so I reappeared to resolve this failed drama.
After this incident, I reflected on it and realized that the difficulty seemed to be a bit too high at the beginning. So I decided to try a lower difficulty level. Then I designed the Ba Che attack on the city event, and set the time to be one year later. I also informed the Seven Stars in advance so that they could prepare for the disaster.
As a result, only ten new versions of the Guizhong machine were built, and all were destroyed in the battle, and the death toll of the Qianyan Army was close to 2000. Shen He, who was supposed to serve as a backup and go down the mountain to gain experience, was also teased by the generals of the Qianyan Army and was unable to fight with all his strength.
Then the Seven Stars began to shirk responsibility, and no one dared to take responsibility for such heavy casualties.
A few years later, the war between the God of Righteousness and the Little King of Grass ended. I was walking in Liyue Harbor, and the people of Liyue were discussing: We have the Rock King, and the God of Righteousness must be many times weaker than the Rock King.
What they don't know is that the God of Righteousness is a completely man-made creature, and its strength is not much weaker than that of an ordinary demon god. This is just the beginning. The God of Righteousness has been constantly transforming and evolving, and finally became a being that even I find difficult to deal with.
The nobles who were punished for the fake death of the Rock King surrendered to the Kingdom of Winter and offered a lot of magic. They helped the Kingdom of Winter to complete the production of the mechanical rotary cannon, the full name of which is: the Immortal Mechanical Rotary Cannon. They used magic to break through the speed limit of the guns set by the Teyvat Law.
Coupled with the birth of a series of equipment such as flying battleships, I wondered: When the next disaster comes, will I have to stand in front of the people of Liyue and help them solve it?
The God of Righteousness was created by the Xumi Teachings Institute without the involvement of any other gods.
A series of products including flying battleships and guard agencies were made by the Fontainebleau Science Institute without the involvement of any gods.
Elemental armor and various new elemental guns were made by Dr. Zhidongguo without the involvement of any gods.
A new disaster is about to strike, but Liyue is still lying in my arms without making any progress.
Since I created this Liyue, I will destroy it, remove the shackles called "Granite Emperor's Protection", and let it survive." Zhongli said calmly.
"Emperor Rock King and the immortals all died in the battle. The people of Liyue can either choose to surrender and become dogs, or choose to stand up on their own. Let the people of Liyue choose their own path. Judging from the current situation of the civil war, it will not end well." Lin Zixuan said.
"I understand your thoughts. In your eyes, countless people have died in the Liyue Civil War over the years, but I am here playing cards and mahjong with a few old friends. The gap is a bit big. You think I am a bit too inhuman and should appear more sad.
Over six thousand years of ups and downs, birth, old age, sickness and death, I have seen too many things, and all the tears I should have shed have already been shed.
My duty was to "guide mankind" and protect all my cubs like a mother hen, but that was in the past. Now, the cubs have grown up and still want to crawl under my wings. I still need to protect them from the wind and rain, which is too unreasonable.
If the people of Liyue cannot grow up and become independent, then it is not unacceptable for Liyue to disappear. "
"Then you shouldn't mind if I get involved and speed up this crazy plan?"
"I still have to look after the bodies of these three old friends, so I can't leave. It would be great if you could help me."
"It's so boring to be in jail, let me go out for a walk?" Gui Zhong said.
"No!" Zhongli said, and Gui finally pouted.
Chapter 429: Liyue's Fire
After leaving four cans of top-quality tea, Lin Zixuan left the rocky mountain that suppressed a dragon king and two demon gods.
