The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 159: Battle outside the Hall of Rebirth
"Ancestors, Hu Tao is unfilial~"

"I was just out promoting business, but the plaque passed down by our ancestors in the Hall of Rebirth has become like this. It's really none of my business."

Looking at the plaque of the Hall of Rebirth broken into several pieces in front of her, Hu Tao knelt on the ground with lifeless eyes, holding the fragments of the plaque. At this moment, her heart had also been broken into many pieces just like the plaque.

This plaque was passed down by the first generation head of their Wangsheng Hall. It was said that it was written by Emperor Yanwang himself for the Wangsheng Hall. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family heirloom. However, this heirloom was broken into several pieces when it was passed down to her generation. How can she explain this to her ancestors a hundred years later?

"Well, Master Hu, don't be sad anymore... Didn't you kill the monster that knocked the plaque down just now? Let's go and help the Qianyan Army around to clean up the monsters. Those monsters have already started to move here."

Mona guessed from Walnut's few words that the plaque was probably very expensive, and she had a very deep understanding of this feeling. After her rare and out-of-print books were wetted by her water element, she wanted to cry out of regret.

This plaque of the Hall of Rebirth is not only extremely precious but also of great significance to Hu Tao. Seeing the fragments on the ground is already painful enough, not to mention how painful it would be to witness the entire process of the plaque breaking into several pieces.

Just now, she and Hu Tao had finally rushed back to the Hall of Rebirth from the surrounding streets, but as soon as they came back, they saw a wild boar made of water elements crashing into the gate of the Hall of Rebirth.

I don’t know what wood the door of the Hall of Rebirth is made of. This time, the door of the Hall of Rebirth did not break, but the plaque hanging outside fell to the ground with a bang and broke into several pieces.

Walnut, who witnessed the entire scene of the plaque disappearing from existence, angrily killed the wild boar formed by the water element, and then kept muttering to himself as if he had lost his soul.

Maybe Mona's persuasion worked, or maybe she didn't want to see casualties among the Qianyan Army and ordinary people around her, so Kurumi heard that the monsters were not hiding from her and were moving towards here.

Hu Tao picked up the Homa staff and ran straight towards the group of monsters not far away. While running, Hu Tao stared at these monsters fiercely. It was really like she was dozing off and someone gave her a pillow. Today, she would let these monsters know that she, the 77th generation leader of the Wangsheng Hall, was not raised on a diet of glass lilies. She would avenge the plaque of the Wangsheng Hall!
With Mona and Hu Tao joining the battle, the pressure on the Qianyan Army responsible for clearing monsters on the streets suddenly decreased. However, as the fight went on, Mona's face became uglier and uglier, because she encountered the same dilemma as Xingqiu. No, perhaps Mona's dilemma is even more embarrassing than Xingqiu's. Xingqiu can at least use the sword in his hand to chop monsters, but Mona cannot use the Wandering Melody in her hand to smash monsters.

Watching her boss Walnut darting around in the group of monsters and taking away several monsters every time made Mona extremely envious. Holding the Wandering Melody, Mona began to think about a problem.

Why did she choose a magic weapon as her weapon? Wouldn't it be better to choose a long-handled weapon like Walnut? At least now she wouldn't have to just watch and be unable to help at all.

Wait, speaking of helping, it seems that the guest official Zhongli in the Wangsheng Hall also has the Divine Eye. His Divine Eye seems to be of rock attribute. Why doesn’t he come out to help?

Mona looked around the battlefield near the Hall of Rebirth. Apart from Hu Tao, who was holding the Staff of Homa and helping the Thousand Winds Army to clear out the monsters, no other holders of the Eye of God came to help.

No, she had to ask the guest Zhongli to help. Even if he was not good at fighting, he was the owner of the Eye of God, so he must have some fighting ability. After making up her mind and realizing that she could not help much, Mona simply returned to the Hall of Rebirth to look for Zhongli. She hoped that the guest Zhongli was not wandering around like before.

At this time in the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli was standing in front of the window with a teacup in his hand, watching the surging Osel on the sea. He saw clearly what happened in the Jade Pavilion, and he was very curious about how Ningguang and others would deal with Osel in the end. After all, the current situation was not friendly to Ningguang and others.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Zhongli turned his gaze to Ruojin who was fighting on the front line. He was looking forward to the performance of Ruojin and his good brother, Ruota Dragon King. If they could meet his expectations, he could enjoy his retirement life with peace of mind.

"Old man, are you really that confident? Once Osel uses all his original power, those immortals won't be able to stop him."

There is chaos in Liyue Harbor now. Many half-drunk wines have been thrown on the roadside. Under the banner of "waste is a crime", Wendy collected all the wines. Now, Wendy is sitting on the bed in Zhongli's room, drinking tons of wine.

Although Venti looks out of touch now, he is the God of Wind after all, so he can still see that Osel used the power of the origin. After seeing Osel using the power of the origin, Venti was worried that Zhongli would go too far and bring disaster to Mondstadt, which is Liyue's neighbor. So he gave up picking up wine and went to the Hall of Rebirth to find Zhongli.

"From a common sense perspective, if Osair really wanted to make a desperate move, then the legend of Liyue would have included a story about the Rock King coming back from the dead and using his last bit of strength to suppress Osair."

"Pfft, old man, you still know how to play."

Ignoring Venti who was drinking nearby, Zhongli looked at Ruojin again. The most perfect answer in his heart was not what he said. If possible, he hoped that the legend of the Dragon King Ruota, rather than the legend of the Geo King, would be circulated in Liyue Harbor in the future.

"Old man, the astrologer from your Wangsheng Hall is back. It looks like he's here to look for you. Do you want to come with me and hide somewhere else?"

Zhongli, who did not expect Mona to come to him, was stunned for a moment, and then accepted Wendy's suggestion to leave the Hall of Rebirth together. This was a test he designed for the people of Liyue, so Zhongli did not intend to take action this time.

Just a few breaths after Zhongli and Wendy disappeared, the door of Zhongli's room was pushed open by Mona. Mona held the door frame and said breathlessly.

"Zhongli Keqing, come with me quickly, Hall Master Hu needs help... Where are the people???"

Looking at the empty room, Mona was a little confused. Just now when she asked Lao Meng downstairs whether Zhongli had gone out, Lao Meng said that he had not seen Zhongli Keqing go out. How come there was no one in the room? It was really strange.
