I'm in the Teyvat running group

Just as he was about to ask what had happened, Xiangling patted his shoulder and handed him several oil paper packets.

"Let's eat first, Xiuxiu." After handing out the paper package, Xiangling took out a few more identical paper packages and distributed them to the others. She said gently, "Give two to Miss Yueji as well. I specially added some Jueyun chili to today's Mora meat, it should be very appetizing!"

Helplessly, Yunxiu also gave two to Yueji, who was looking smug. Seeing that Yueji's tongue was sticking out from the spiciness but she still couldn't resist the temptation of Xiangling's cooking, Yunxiu calmed down a lot.

That's why they say cute girls are pleasing to the eye and easy to forgive, no matter what they do. If a burly man dared to do that, he'd be hit by a magic missile the next moment.

Yunxiu cleared her head of the jumbled thoughts and began to think about what to do next.

The beast, enhanced with bio-alchemy technology, reached a length of eight meters, with a height of four meters and a width of over three meters, making it very spacious even for six people to sit on.

The reason there are six people is because Paimon hasn't eaten the berries yet, so he hasn't landed on the pack animal's back.

The various magic arrays and levitation effects have enabled the pack beasts to move at an astonishing speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. This is also due to the development of storage tools that have reduced the pack beasts' load to an extremely low level.

Yunxiu's plan was to return via the original route, passing through Shimen and Dihuazhou, but after entering Guiliyuan, he would not return to Liyue, but instead enter Minlin from Cuijuepo and head straight for Jueyunjian.

Since the Emperor said he would find it himself and that the answer was right beside him, and since the people of Liyue around him recently were either disciples of immortals or of immortal blood, he had practically handed the task of finding immortals to Yunxiu.

Yunxiu hadn't decided which immortal he should look for, but after pondering it all night, he suddenly realized something: the "person beside" the Emperor might not refer to an immortal, but rather a dragon...

As we all know, the main storyline of Teyvat is actually the story of gods and dragons. Even the hidden subplot in the world background is the love-hate relationship between Nibelungen and the Great King. Yunxiu has just resolved a major event closely related to dragons, which may be the key point that the Emperor was talking about.

Moreover, the three immortals were here to suppress the giant dragon, and perhaps that is the key to breaking the deadlock...

As mentioned before, there are actually no interconnected conspiracies in this world. Why does Yunxiu think the doctor is a master? It's not because of nonsense like being able to see several steps ahead, nor is it some kind of scheme.

The reason is very simple: the Doctor is always exceptionally good at taking things one step at a time. Yunxiu thwarted his schemes all along, yet he managed to use this to his advantage, even setting a trap for himself, almost causing the Knights of Favonius to pay a heavy price. Therefore, Yunxiu's eventual killing of the Doctor was both the Mondstadt people's expectation and, in reality, some of his own selfish motives, because he truly didn't know what the Doctor might do if he were kept alive.

Yunxiu is actually taking things one step at a time. He has several options, but he chose Jueyunjian because it has the most concentrated pool of alternatives.

Even in the worst-case scenario, one can use the Face Fruit and the Unrestricted Talisman to get some information out of the True Lord of Moon-Shaping Sun.

As for why she wanted to find Ruotuo, the main reason was that, as a top-tier elementalist from her previous life, Yunxiu found the matter of Ruotuo Dragon King's wear and tear extremely perplexing. Firstly, Zhongli claimed that this wear and tear was imposed upon her by "heavenly principles," but what did heavenly principles have to do with an elemental dragon king like her?

Moreover, there are currently five known dragon kings on the continent of Teyvat. Apart from the fire dragon king Shukutl, who has been completely transformed into the abyss, we will not comment on him for the time being. Of the remaining dragon kings, only Rota has the so-called "wear and tear".

None of the other dragons, whether it was the first-generation Grass Dragon King Apep, the second-generation Wind Dragon King Dvalin, or the countless generations of Water Dragon King Navelette who was born in human form, had ever experienced the problem of "wear and tear".

What's most interesting is that these three dragons also serve as three control groups: the first-generation dragon showed no wear and tear, the second-generation dragon Dvalin, who also has a lifespan of over two thousand years, showed no wear and tear, and the dragon of unknown generation, Navelette, who was born in human form, showed no wear and tear...

Furthermore, judging from Bai Ruotuo, who is actually Kunjun, showering Zhongli with compliments after his awakening, it seems as if he has been purified, and even purified travelers heading to the abyss. Moreover, the enraged battle between the Layered Rock Abyss Dragon King and Zhongli is less about attrition and more about the personality erratic behavior caused by the invasion of characters like Inazuma Calamity and Torachiyo.

Could it be that Tuozi Ge's madness was caused by being too deeply integrated with the earth's veins and being polluted, and was actually purified by the traveler in the end?

As for Zhongli saying that his combat strength is inferior to Tuozi's, we can only laugh it off.

This old man personally told both Xiao and Kurumi, "I can't help with this." But when the two asked him to help look at the remnants of the demon god here/after he became the head of the Hall of Rebirth, he turned around and said, "But then again..." and then directly snatched people from the bottom of the Abyss of Layered Rocks, between life and death...

So, I definitely have to meet this guy, Tuozi.

The modified beast traveled incredibly fast and became even more intelligent. After a midday rest and lunch, they arrived at Dihua Island before setting up camp in the afternoon. The group enjoyed the scenery for a while. Apart from Yueji, Xiangling and Sugar had returned to the demiplane to cook and research alchemy techniques. Paimon had also gone to direct various alchemical mechanisms to farm, raise fish, and raise chickens. This had become the little creature's recent source of enjoyment.

Only Yueji was still sitting happily on the head of the beast, communicating with it in strange ways while looking at several odd comics. Yunxiu glanced at them and saw that they were the fourth volume of the comic "The Buried Fox Palace".

I glanced at it briefly and it told the story of the adventures of the great Inatsume yokai, including Kosai-gumi, Reizen-bo, Yuraku-sai, and Gohyaku-zo. Later, due to various reasons, only Kosai-gumi remained of the group. She then raised Asase Hibiki, introduced Hiiragi Hiroshi, and embarked on a new journey with the two boys.

I think there will be a plot where the fox spirit, Shirotatsu, admires Hibiki Asase, but then the fox spirit and Shirotatsu have a falling out...

Yingmei seemed to be deep in thought, a hint of gloom on her pretty face, which made Yunxiu curious. Yingmei had indeed disappeared for a few days. Although Yunxiu was not worried about her safety at all as a top-notch warrior, such an expression was rare on the sunny and cheerful Yingmei.

"Ying, is there something you can't tell anyone?" Yunxiu asked curiously, sitting down next to Ying. "It's rare to see you like this."

“Yunxiu.” Ying seemed to have made up her mind. After thinking carefully for a moment, she spoke: “These past few days, while I was adventuring, I saw my brother… and he has been being chased by someone.”

"Could it be..."

"He told me that his name was Dinnes Reb."

Chapter 67 Secret Scroll: Miyawaki's Hidden Old Question

Daines Reeb!

A character that anyone who pays even a little attention to Genshin Impact cannot ignore. From the words in "Footprints" to the analysis of the essence of the Teyvat world in the interlude, Dain has always been the key to the advancement of the entire plot.

Yunxiu's judgment has always been that the key turning point in the plot occurred at the crucial moment of the Kanria disaster leak, and someone must have plugged the gap. However, before that, the departure of Sora and Ying was intercepted by Tianli, Sora's power was divided, and a series of events, including the birth of the Five Great Sinners and Dain's rage, had already taken place.

Therefore, even in the new timeline, Sora may still have traveled with Dain, and various accidents may have occurred.

Moreover, in this timeline, the power of order is even stronger. To move the vast ocean of the Teyvat timeline, a greater force must be unleashed on the abyss side.

This is the second point Yunxiu made: the stronger the order, the stronger the abyss. While blocking the breach five hundred years ago protected the order, from another perspective, it also gave the abyss five hundred years to accumulate power. These five hundred years were the time when the order and the abyss vied for the upper hand.

Therefore, it is very likely that, compared to the timeline of Genshin Impact itself, the things that Kū do on this timeline may be much more excessive.

After thinking for a moment, Yunxiu didn't ask Ying for details, but instead asked what he thought was the most appropriate question at the moment: "Is it because he has become a stranger to you that you started to feel sad?"

"I don't know..." Ying said with some sadness, "I've been asleep most of the time during these five hundred years, but he hasn't. I don't know what my brother has become..."

For the Adventites, the world of Teyvat cannot erase their memories; therefore, the reason they don't know something is simply because they haven't experienced it.

During her five hundred years of slumber, Ying was truly unaware of all the empty things.

Yunxiu didn't press the matter further, mainly because Ying and Daiyin probably didn't have as much information as he did...

If this world was divided into two distinct paths five hundred years ago, then in terms of plot and the essence of the world, the difference is actually not significant. This is because in the original work, the five hundred years were a period of recovery for all nations. The divergence in the plot five hundred years ago led to the formation of entirely new forms for these nations, and they were most likely actively preparing for war.

You can tell from Mondstadt's elite heavy cavalry that other countries are certainly no less formidable.

However, this also means that Yunxiu still has a great advantage in terms of information. After all, in terms of the original knowledge itself, before Yunxiu traveled through time, he had actually unearthed a series of past events when the Great King of Law descended. Although there are still secrets in Teyvat in front of him, there are actually not many left.

"What Daines Reeb?" Tsukihime, having heard the news, put away her manga and walked over. She thought carefully for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "If you're talking about a blond-haired, black-robed Kanrian, perhaps I know something..."

"Oh?" Yunxiu became interested and made room for Yueji to sit opposite Ying.

She carefully took out a copy of Volume 11 of "The Buried Fox Palace," wiped it clean, and handed it to Lai Yunxiu, saying, "Don't damage it, this is a first-print limited edition!"

"?" Yunxiu took the manga with a bewildered look, opened it, and quickly flipped through it. She didn't find anything strange. It told the story of how Fox Prince, along with Asase Hibiki and Hiiragi Hiroshi, defeated the villain with the help of the Great Fox Shirotatsu and drove him out of Inazuma. Only the villain's name was a bit peculiar, called Akahira Reverse Light Sword...

"What does this have to do with anything?" Yunxiu flipped through it again, still finding nothing amiss, before asking seriously, "If you're recommending a comic, I think we can find some time tonight to talk about it privately..."

"Don't rush, don't rush! This general needs to think things through first!" Yue Ji patted her head in annoyance before continuing, "The most important part of this storyline is actually that the Crimson Sun Reverse Light Sword appeared five hundred years ago. At that time, a demon king framed a hero and had his six great demon generals divide the hero's power. But in the end, the hero and the demon king perished together. The journey of Fox Palace and the other three happened during that time."

"Oh?"

This is something from "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs"!

"The Sixth Demon General also protected the hero's remains, right?" Yunxiu looked at Yueji and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Sixth Demon General and the hero may have been friends before."

"Yes, yes, oh dear, since you already know, why did you make me say so much?" Yue Ji put one hand on her hip and pointed at Yun Xiu, saying, "You can tell me the rest, I'm going to continue reading my comics!"

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​Yunxiu grabbed Yueji's hand and made her sit down. Then she looked into Yueji's eyes and said, "How could I know as much as Miss Yueji? After all, I don't really know much about anything except magic. Please guide me, Miss."

"I knew you'd only heard this much, it's all hearsay!"

"That's right, that's right."

"Hmph!" Tsukihime crossed her arms and deliberately made a serious expression as she continued, "And five hundred years later, this Crimson Sun Reverse Light Sword, also known as the Sixth Demon General, came to Inazuma again to hunt down his former hero friend, but was eventually driven out of Inazuma by Fox Prince with his two children."

"So what was the final outcome?" Yunxiu asked curiously.

"The final outcome was, of course, success, but because of Fox Palace and the others' actions, that hero escaped into the Abyss Palace..."

"Where's the back?"

"That's all." Tsukihime shrugged. "The author has been on hiatus for a long time, supposedly due to health reasons. However, I sent several members of the Okuzawa clan to inquire, and the truth is that they couldn't continue writing."

This story is quite good...

“But this story doesn’t seem to prove anything.” After listening, Ying said seriously, “After all, it’s just a comic book.”

“Yes…” Yunxiu thought for a moment, and indeed couldn’t find any information about the rebel Inazuma in her mind, so she patted Yueji on the shoulder and said, “But the story is still very good, at least it solves some of the questions.”

“This isn’t a story,” Tsukihime said seriously. “My aunt told me that there are a lot of fabricated parts in this book, but the only one that’s true is the story of the Sixth Demon General and the Hero. I also asked my mother, Kitsui-no-miya, and both she and my mother said that the battle actually happened.”

"!"

"Moreover, the current generation of the Miko of Haiji Island did report that someone had smuggled themselves into Fuchishita Palace."

"!"

In Yunxiu's memory, there was no plot involving rebelling against the master and entering the Abyss Palace! But the Abyss Palace is the most peculiar place in Genshin Impact so far. Although it is an ancient civilization, it seems to have a stronger connection with dragons. In fact, the Abyss Palace is inhabited by the Dragon Lizard Clan and their descendants...

Furthermore, in version 2.5, the Abyss Shrine presided over a grand ceremony, which cleansed the Abyss Shrine of its strange pollution. The priestess who presided over the ceremony seemed to be a descendant of the dragon lizard, only in human form.

"How did this author know these things?" Yunxiu asked in shock. "What's his name?"

But then he suddenly remembered that he was holding a manga in his hand. When he closed the book and looked closely, he saw that the pen name was "Yamashita Nakatani," which seemed to be a normal Inazuma name. That's why he hadn't realized anything when he was looking at it earlier.

“I pulled up his information from Yaedo. His name is ‘Yuki-gami.’ What a strange name.” Tsukihime scratched her chin. “Later, I sent people to look for him, but this author just vanished like he’d evaporated into thin air. It’s such a pity about this manga; it made me a good fortune.”

If it were him, knowing this information and creating this comic without expecting anything in return would be perfectly normal. It's even possible that the comic was just bait to lure him in...

As for who to hook, that's up to the willing. Once Ying goes to Inazuma and makes contact with Yaedo, given her personality, she'll definitely ask the shrine maiden and the thunder god for answers, and eventually she'll naturally head to Fuchishita-no-miya...

"Wait, you even made a profit?" Yunxiu suddenly realized something was wrong: "How did you make it? Did you confiscate someone's royalties?"

"How could I be so shameless!" Tsukihime said angrily, "The merchandise for this manga is very popular. I knew in advance that it would be discontinued, so I stockpiled a lot of merchandise. When it went out of print and the price went up, I sold it for several times the price of Mora! I'm really good at business!"

Don't you need it?

"What would I need those for?" Yueji looked at Yunxiu with a strange expression. "When I want to, why don't I just go see Mother Fox Palace herself?"

You're right, everyone else can only collect figurines, but you can see 1:1 perfect originals...

"Time to eat!" Hearing Xiangling's voice, Yunxiu patted the beast's head, took out a large bucket of meat, and threw in half a bucket of the Qingxin he had collected.

Only after watching the beast slowly begin to eat did Yunxiu return to the demiplane to eat.

After finishing his meal, he thought about the information Yueji had given him all night, and then played a game with Xiangling before finally falling asleep peacefully.

If it weren't for Yanfei, who was on night duty, knocking on the door and waking them up, this would have truly been a perfect night.

"Yunxiu! Xiangling! Come and see!"

In the woods ahead, several huge ruins and mechanisms were patrolling back and forth, and a girl dressed in an adventurer's uniform and carrying a huge pack was lying in the grass on the ground!

Although the ruins' organization showed no intention of taking action, and may not even have discovered her presence, it was clear that the girl's situation was not so pleasant.

"This is……"
