Section 92
"It must be the power bestowed by Xuanyuan Sword... Oh my God, it seems that the legend is true. If you get Xuanyuan Sword, you can master all the elemental powers!"
"Be careful, she must be able to use other elemental powers!"
Ying didn't know what the group of people behind her were thinking. After the wind power erupted, the rock elemental power followed closely, forming a golden barrier for her to block the pursuit.
Seeing this scene, those who were chasing were not afraid, but even more excited.
"Go, go, go!"
People die for money and birds die for food. With such a divine weapon in front of them, how could they bear it?
In fact, if it weren't for the death of the emperor, these people would not have the courage to do it even if they had the idea.
But the emperor is gone, Liyue has no god.
Isn't it natural to seize the Xuanyuan Sword and ascend to the throne?
"Traveler, they are rushing up again!"
Paimon looked back and found that even if he used elemental power, he couldn't stop those people at all. There are too many talented people in Liyue. How many people can hold back when they hear the news of Xuanyuan Sword?
"How about throwing away the Xuanyuan Sword?" Paimon came up with a bad idea.
Ying shook her head: "No, the Xuanyuan Sword belongs to the emperor. I am just keeping it temporarily. I can't let it be taken away by these people."
What kind of people are these people? How can such people be qualified to take the Xuanyuan Sword?
Thinking of this, Ying turned around and ran towards Yujingtai.
She originally planned to take a look at Liyue Port and then continue the mission to get the sword, but she didn't expect to be chased by someone on the way. Now she can only ask for help from Qixing.
Just thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Traveler, I will help you!"
Ying was stunned and felt the elemental force coming. She slid and saw the azure elemental force flying over her head and exploded behind her with a bang.
Those who were chasing were injured by the elemental force and fell to the ground wailing.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong~
A sound of footsteps sounded, Ying stopped, watching those blue fat men with thunder hammers running past her, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"Traveler, don't just stand there, come here quickly!"
Ying looked up and saw the young master standing at the corner of the street waving at her.
Ying ran over immediately.
"Follow me!"
The young master turned and ran.
Behind him, the Fatui team had already fought with the chasing army. Ying hesitated for a moment and followed the young master away.
Although she didn't know what the young master wanted to do, he seemed to have a good relationship with Su Chen, and she had no other choice now.
When they turned to a remote place, the young master stopped and looked around vigilantly. After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's safe here."
"Hu~Hu~I'm so tired." Paimeng patted his chest, "It's so close, I thought I was going to die here."
"Haha~How can it be so exaggerated? I think the traveler's skills are pretty good." The young master laughed, "It's just that you, little Paimeng, might be a little worse."
Paimeng was dissatisfied: "I'm with the traveler!"
"Why are you here?" Ying asked.
She remembered that the young master was still in "jail".
"Ah, this question... Well, it's all thanks to Brother Su Chen. He helped me talk to Qixing, so that the Fatui temporarily lifted the restrictions on their movements in Liyue Harbor."
You may not believe it, but Su Chen is really a good person.
The young master has been really troubled these days. The death of the Rock King is naturally a good thing for him. It is obvious which one is easier to steal the Heart of God, a dead god or a living god.
However, the Fatui were restricted by Qixing and could only stay in the embassy. Fortunately, the Qianyan Army suddenly withdrew today, and the manager told him that this was what Lord Ningguang meant.
Ningguang's intention?
Do you think I'm stupid?
This must have been helped by Brother Su Chen.
Coincidentally, the young master heard about Ying's situation, so he immediately brought his men down.
Of course, he helped Ying for a purpose. Liyue is in a mess right now, which is a great opportunity to seize the Heart of God, but first he has to know where Qixing hid the body.
Originally, he wanted to ask Zhongli indirectly, hoping that he could figure out something with his intelligence. Then, even if he tried to find him one place at a time, he might be able to find him.
Unfortunately, the young master traveled around Liyue for most of the time but didn't see Zhongli.
"Don't go to Qixing at this time." The young master said, "You have to go to the immortals and tell them about the Rock King."
Paimeng tilted his head: "Do you mean that Qixing is also suspected?"
The young master spread his hands: "I can't figure out who in Liyue has such a powerful ability. Besides, the immortals didn't show up when such a big thing happened. I can't think of any other possibility except that Qixing deliberately concealed it. To put it another way, even if it's not Qixing's problem, finding an immortal to preside over justice can also stop the chaos in Liyue, right?"
"It seems so..." Paimeng looked at Ying, "What should we do? Should we go find Fanan and Jinpeng? We don't know where they are."
Ying thought for a while and said, "Su Chen may know."
"Oh yes, the last time the Jinpeng immortal came to the embassy to find him."
Although Paimeng thought Su Chen was stupid and didn't even know the immortals, there should be some connection between the two.
"Then go find Su Chen?" Paimeng asked.
Ying suddenly shook his head and said, "Go get the Xuanyuan Sword."
"Why?"
"Xuanyuan Sword, someone must be eyeing it, we can't let them get it, and maybe the immortals are there too."
Ying's proposal was approved by Paimeng.
The two said goodbye to the young master. Before leaving, the young master took out a mask and put it on Ying to avoid being chased along the way.
Watching them leave, the young master scratched his head: "It turns out that Brother Su Chen also knows the immortal. If I had known this, it would be better to go to him directly... Forget it, this is not bad."
I remember what Zhongli said, Liyue people always say, 'You can't put all your eggs in the same basket.' When you follow the locals, do as the Romans do. The young master felt that by some strange combination of circumstances, he actually understood the essence of Liyue people's business. Maybe he would be better off if he went into business. Can surpass the rich.
...
"I remember there was a mountain here back then, right?"
Liyue, Tianqiu Valley area.
Su Chen raised his head, pointed to the hillside in the distance and said, "Go in that direction, that's the way to Nantianmen."
"There is a mountain." Zhongli nodded slightly, "It's just that one year after you left, the demon invaded. Ruotuo fought with him and leveled the mountain. After thousands of years, it became what it is now."
"No wonder."
Walking along the mountain road, they came across a village. People on the road were walking in a hurry, heading towards the way they came.
There are well-meaning people blocking the road, telling them not to go any further.
"Why?" Zhongli asked warmly, "Qianyan Army often cleans out monsters here, so it should be safer."
The old man sighed: "That's true, but in recent days, terrible sounds can often be heard. Everyone says that the emperor has passed away and the suppressed demons are about to come out... Qianyan Army can't do anything, there are many in the village People are getting ready to move out.”
"Scary sound? What exactly is it?"
"I just don't know what is scary. It sounds like it's coming from underground. It's roaring and screaming. It's so scary in the middle of the night."
"Then what are they?"
Su Chen looked at those people walking out of the village with their things.
"Oh, they are going to worship the Human Emperor." The old man said, "There is a statue of the Human Emperor in the north of our village. Alas, the world is in chaos now, and the emperor is no longer here. Everyone hopes that the Human Emperor can protect us and let the terrible Don’t let the monsters cause trouble.”
The people of Liyue either respect the emperor or the human emperor, and generally worship both. However, people near the statue of the human emperor tend to regard the human emperor as their faith.
"You are also here to pay homage to the Human Emperor, right? I happen to be going too, to show you the way?"
In this corner of the mountain, the statue of the Human Emperor is classified as a "place of interest", and most of the people who come here are to worship the Human Emperor.
Su Chen was about to refuse, but Zhongli said, "I'm sorry, please prepare some sacrifices for us. I'm in such a hurry that I forgot to prepare them."
"It's easy. I have extra on hand and I can sell it to you."
As soon as the old man saw how Su Chen and Zhong Li were dressed, he knew which noble family the young masters were coming to experience life. Naturally, the young masters did not have the habit of taking anything with them when they went out. All they had to do was bring money.
Their village is near the Human Emperor Statue, and they can make a lot of money every year by selling sacrifices.
"After all, just give me 800 molas." The old man stretched out his calloused hands towards Zhongli.
Zhongli was very calm: "Send the bill to Shengshengtang."
elder:"???"
He looked at Zhongli.
"Young man, are you here to entertain the old man?"
"This is a thousand molas. Any more will be considered as travel expenses." Su Chen took out the molas and handed them over.
Only then did the old man laugh.
Zhongli showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about why this trick didn't work?
"Let's go, young man." Su Chen patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Um..."
Zhong Li wanted to explain, but Su Chen had already followed the old man and walked forward.
The mountain road is rugged and the vegetation is lush.
There are many people in the village, and today seems to be a day of collective worship.
When you reach the Human Emperor Statue, you can see a group of people gathering in front of the statue to prepare.
"That's our village chief." The old man said, pointing to the figure standing under the statue.
"Fellow fellow villagers, the Emperor was brutally assassinated. Liyue is in danger today, the yin and yang are disordered, and demons are everywhere. We in Lijia Village collectively hold a sacrifice to pray for the protection of the Emperor and tide over the difficulties."
"Sacrifice offered!"
