People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 299 In terms of universal rationality
".The gods in Teyvat are too hard to meet. It gives Ying and I a headache."

"."

As Paimon uttered this complaint full of sincerity,

Even next to the bustling market, the scene was temporarily immersed in a strange atmosphere.

Maybe he noticed something.
Nashida, who was selecting a kite in the distance, stopped what she was doing and looked over here curiously.
Then after scanning the circle of "ordinary pedestrians" and looking down at himself,
I don't know why someone can raise this issue seriously in such an occasion.

"."

".Well, from a common sense perspective, it is indeed not easy to see gods."

Zhongli nodded, expressing his deep agreement with the statement of the white-haired boy in front of him.

".Ahem, the power of the Rock God is so strong that even the residents of Liyue can only see him once a year during the Summoning Ceremony.
It is indeed difficult for the two of you to formally visit this god."

Seeing that Zhongli had taken the lead,

Lin Feng, who was still thinking about using the "opportunity to meet the gods" to give the little yellow-haired boy more tasks in the future, also nodded in agreement.
It means that whether it is him, Zhongli, Wendy, Nashida or Ruotu,

They were not familiar with this kind of thing and were just ordinary passers-by who came to eat.

——Let’s not talk about anything else. If all of them who came for team building were eliminated at the beginning, how would this guy have the motivation to go traveling?
In order to find someone to run to.
——In order for the little yellow-haired boy to recover his strength during the journey, Lin Feng felt that it made sense for Zhongli to take the lead in concealing his identity.

“Hehe, right!”

"I said that we couldn't see the gods. It must not be Ying's or our own fault. It's just that they hid too well, so we couldn't find them!"

After hearing Lin Feng and Zhong Li's responses,

Because his point of view was fully recognized, Paimon also put his hands on his hips.

They acted as if the failure to find the god was not because they didn't try hard, but because the other party just didn't cooperate.

"."

".But even so, Ying still has reasons to find the gods.
Moreover, this year's Summoning Immortal Ceremony has already passed, and I have not heard of any method of worshipping the Rock King Emperor during the Sea Lantern Festival.

It seems that our plan to search for gods in Liyue has come to a standstill."

Paimon, who just had his hands on his hips,

After remembering the core purpose of their trip, the smug look on her face quickly disappeared, and she fell into some visible distress.

"."

After hearing such sentiments,
The "ordinary pedestrians" present looked at each other again, some of them not knowing how to respond.

finally,
Lin Feng saw Ying beside him who also had no idea what to do.
After thinking about it, I feel that it is not a good idea to let the little yellow-haired boy be stuck in the main storyline for another year.

So after secretly colluding with Zhongli,
Facing the duo in front of him who had nothing to do in Liyue, he spoke with a somewhat uncertain tone:
".Well, I basically understand your distress. It is indeed a very important thing to find clues about your relatives through the gods."

".Although even I am not clear about how to let foreign travelers formally meet the God of Rock,
But since it is the Lantern Festival, there is a legend that may be able to help you."

"Huh?! Really?"

"——Paimon knew you could help!"

After hearing Lin Feng speak,
Not only did Paimon's eyes light up instantly, but even the blonde girl beside her looked over with concern.

They wanted to know what the legend was that would give them the opportunity to find the God of Rock and obtain information.

Facing Ying and Paimeng who were obviously very curious, Lin Feng did not keep them in suspense.
After taking a quick look at Zhongli beside him, he pointed to a certain direction on the north side of Liyue Harbor.
He chuckled and said:
"——I wonder if you two have ever heard of the title of Emperor Yanwang, the "Ancestor of All Immortals"? "

"In the legend of Liyue, the Rock King is not only a god, but also an ancient and powerful immortal.

Since it is difficult to meet Him as a human being,

Then I think you might as well try to go to the place where the immortal appeared and ask, maybe you can get some unexpected gains."

"."

"Ah? But immortals should be very difficult to find, right?

And if you go to Jueyunjian without permission, I heard that you might encounter all kinds of terrible things.

We have seen this before in the records of the Adventurer's Guild.

It is said that there are not only amber that eats people and plants that attack people, but even the treasure-stealing groups are unwilling to approach it."

After hearing that the method provided by Lin Feng was this,

Paimon, who felt that the difficulty level was very high, was also a little discouraged.

"Haha, the immortals of Liyue have fought against the demons in the Demon-God War and have a transcendent status.
Of course I know that if ordinary people go to Jueyunjian, it is difficult to have the opportunity to visit the immortals."

"——But there are exceptions to everything.

During my time in Liyue, I happened to hear a legend about an immortal outside of Jueyunjian.
Especially since this immortal has an unusual identity, there is a high probability that he can contact the Rock King.
All in all, I think it's worth your while to try your luck."

!!!

"Huh?! There is a fairy who can possibly contact the God of Rock, and he is outside of Jueyunjian?"

After hearing this, Paimon became visibly excited.

"Well, although it's just a legend, based on previous eyewitness reports, it should be very true."

Lin Feng nodded, then looked at Paimeng and Ying in front of him and said bluntly:
"——In short, based on my research into Liyue history and recent intelligence gathering,
I think if you are willing to go to Wangshu Inn in the north, you may have a chance to meet an immortal named "The Great Saint Who Conquers Demons" there.

According to ancient records, this immortal was the most skilled in conquest. As one of the most trusted immortals of the Rock King, he was in charge of eliminating monsters and evil spirits.
If you can meet him, you may be able to find a way to communicate with the God of Rock."

Lin Feng’s introduction was not difficult to understand, and could even be described as quite concise:
——Reveal the existence of Xiao to the traveler in front of him and set a slight test.

Then, without revealing the god's identity for the time being, he answered a few of her questions remotely.

This is what Zhongli is thinking now, and it is also the main content of what Lin Feng communicated in the past moment.

“.Is that so?
If it is an immortal who is responsible for fighting, then there is a high probability that he can contact the God of Rock."

"Thank you very much for the information you provided.
In order to prevent him from leaving, Paimeng and I will go to Wangshu Inn to look for him as soon as possible."

I heard a feasible plan and a very clear investigation location.
Ying, who had been at a loss before, also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally found a starting point.

".But, we have a location, but how can we meet this 'Great Saint Who Conquers Demons'?"

"——Since he's a dedicated combatant, he might be difficult to deal with, right?"

Paimeng thought about how the two of them had gone to Wangshu Inn and were punished by the immortal for being rude.

Thinking of the scene of being thrown into the "man-eating amber" together, he couldn't help but shake his head and shuddered all over.

“Well, I’m not an expert on the matter of this demon-conquering Great Sage. What I just told you are just some legends I collected.” Lin Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn’t have any quick methods to pass through.

But soon, he pointed at Zhongli beside him and introduced the two people in front of him:

"——In fact, according to legend, the Great Saint who conquers demons has some connection with the ancestors of the Hall of Rebirth.
This guest official Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall was well-known for his erudition even in the entire Liyue Harbor.

Some of the legends I just told you were heard from him.

He may know some answers to your questions.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng took a step back to let Zhongli next to him move out.

He said that the next questions would be answered by this person.

"Huh? So he is the knowledgeable guest official from Wangsheng Hall? We thought he was a salesman."

"——Ahem, Paimon, it looks like the rice ball is stealing the things in your backpack."

"Ah?! Shut up!
Those are the lotus cakes and golden shrimp balls I specially saved this morning. I was planning to save them for snacks!"

Seeing that the white-haired ball beside them might lose the opportunity to find the god because of their impoliteness,

The blonde girl also interrupted by talking about food.
As always, the effect is quite good.

Zhongli: "."

Should I say it's not unexpected?

Sure enough, next time I have to find a way to escape that kid's forced overtime.
Helplessly looking at the white-haired unknown creature in front of him that was fighting wits and courage with a small Chilong,
Zhongli realized that his reputation was damaged and could only pretend not to hear it.

After coughing twice, he finally spoke out the reason why he and Lin Feng had made such an arrangement:

".I'm not very knowledgeable, I just have some understanding of Liyue's history."

"——As the young friend next to me said,

The Hall of Rebirth and the Great Saint who conquered demons have had many connections in history, so I have heard of this immortal for a long time."

"If you two really plan to go to Wangshu Inn, then I will provide you with some information I know to help you see this immortal more easily.
——On the other hand, I hope that after you two meet the Great Saint who conquers demons, you can also convey some information for me.”

Zhongli also didn't beat around the bush and briefly explained the reasons why he was providing help.

".That's no problem, but what specific information should I bring?"

Paimon was a little curious.

".Well, it's actually not something too special.

It's just that the Lantern Festival is approaching, and I hope you can invite this demon-conquering sage to come to Liyue Harbor.

All of this is just like us mortals respectfully inviting the immortals to come and enjoy the lights of thousands of houses."

Zhongli, with his brown hair and golden eyes, shook his head slightly and stated his reasons in a casual manner.

".Okay, it doesn't sound like anything weird, so Ying and I agree!"

Paimon nodded, put his hands on his hips and put on a look that said, "Don't worry."

".So, if we want to meet this demon-conquering great saint, what should we do?"

".In any case, since the existence of this immortal will become a legend, it must be quite difficult to meet him."

Ying on the side shook her head and pointed out the core issue of this trip.

"Haha, it's not that difficult actually.

You two can take this ancient token of the Hall of Rebirth and prepare some light dishes as offerings.

——If nothing unexpected happens, the chef in the inn should know the taste of this immortal.

When night falls, you can make some according to the recipe and place them on the top floor."

Zhongli smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand and handed over a simple black wooden sign.
And without the two people in front of him noticing, he quietly left a trace of his own breath in it.

“.Rooftop, light dishes”

"——Thank you very much, we took note of it.
After successfully conveying the information, whether or not we get the chance to talk to the Rock King, we will come back and let you know as soon as possible."

Although the existence of the Great Sage who conquers demons may be a long-standing legend in Liyue,
But Ying felt that if she could really meet the other party, then the token in her hand and the information provided by the people in front of her would definitely be of great help.

After thanking you again and again,

Ying and Paimon, who felt they were lucky today, also left happily with their rice balls.

I plan to make some preparations and then embark on the journey to Wangshu Inn.

Seeing the travel party leave,

Wendy, who had not been able to get a word in just now, also sighed and said with some regret:
".Alas, unfortunately I have always flown here directly before, and I have no experience in how to "formally" ask to see the God of Rock.
Otherwise, maybe I can have a chat with this 'special' traveler."

"Oh? Are you planning to reveal your identity in advance?"

Lin Feng was a little curious.

"——Of course not."

Wendy nodded, then denied it straightforwardly.

"You and the old man have both kept your identities well hidden.
If I reveal the truth first, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"——Speaking of which, how about we compete to see who can hide their identity till the end?
As for the prize, how about whoever loses gives me a year's worth of cider? I think that would be quite interesting~"

As if she had suddenly thought of an interesting idea, Wendy chuckled and made a suggestion.

"."

".Forget it.

I always feel that if I agree to compete with you, you might use various methods to secretly reveal the identities of me and the old man."

Lin Feng, who was originally tempted, thought about the moral integrity of the guy next to him and finally gave up the idea.

".Well, the two of them walked too fast, so Nashida didn't have time to introduce them."

".But it's not too late to get to know each other next time, otherwise I really can't explain the relationship between us."

He shook his head, ignoring Wendy's expression that said, "You slandered me, I'm hurt and need compensation."
Chenggong and Zhongli threw the task of inviting Xiao to the New Year's Eve dinner to the little yellow-haired boy.
Lin Feng also said hello to the people around him and left for a while.
I decided to take Nashida to the beach for some fun in the next half day, and to pick up a piece of stone that appeared in the plot, to prepare for the return of a certain stove fire.
