Man in Xumi: I can copy the authority of the seven gods

In such a scene, the story itself becomes a secondary factor.

The storyteller's voice intonation, narrative rhythm, body movements, and infectious enthusiasm.

Unconsciously, the book can capture the audience's attention, allowing them to temporarily escape from their busy work and life and enter the mysterious world that only exists in books.

——No wonder Zhongli likes to come here to listen to books, Tian Tiezui is indeed quite good.

While listening to the book, he felt a little bit high.

I plan to visit more often when I have free time in the future.

Seeing that a storytelling session finally came to an end, it was already getting late.

The spectators all stood up and planned to go home to light a fire and cook.

Tian Tiezui on the stage also cleared his throat, picked up the teacup, and took two gulps of tea. Then he looked up at the old customer in front of him and asked with a smile:

"Brother Zhongli, I have heard that you are knowledgeable and well-educated. I wonder what you think of my passage from Liyue Spring and Autumn Annals?"

“It’s really wonderful.”

The young man put down the teacup in his hand, nodded, and praised sincerely.

"But, according to Brother Tian, ​​the Rock King Emperor once transformed into a goddess and went on tour. I wonder where she came from and why?"

"This is uh, not impossible"

Tian Tiezui, who had been eloquent just now, looked embarrassed as if he was stuck when he heard this.

"I see."

Zhongli paused, as if he understood something.

"——The ancient secrets are no longer tangible, but the scene Brother Tian described is quite interesting."

He took a sip of tea and didn't seem to be taking it seriously.

Hearing this, the embarrassed storyteller suddenly felt relieved.

He knew that his brother Zhongli was a famous and learned man. If he got serious about it, he would not be able to find the origin of the folk legend he had heard.

Tian Tiezui shook his head and saw a handsome young man standing next to Zhongli, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Brother Zhongli, when we were telling the story just now, I saw you paying attention to the little brother next to you."

"I see that this young man is also a very talented person, not an ordinary person can compare to him. Could he be a descendant of your family?"

"Why don't you tell me so I can say hello when we meet next time."

"."

Zhongli, who was drinking tea, paused.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said:

"Brother Tian, ​​you are embarrassing me. This young man is not someone's descendant."

"——If you think about it, he actually did me a big favor."

"If you meet Brother Tian in the future, just treat him as an old friend of mine."

When Tian Tiezui heard this, although he was a little curious about why Zhongli called this little brother who was only a few years older than him "old friend", he still nodded and said:

"Well, it's rare for someone to receive such a high evaluation from you. I think this little brother must be a rare talent—"

"Then I'll keep it in mind. I won't neglect this young man when we meet next time."

Tian Tiezui smiled at the young man beside Zhongli, bowed slightly, and made a note of this hidden guest in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Tian Tiezui, Zhongli naturally invited Lin Feng beside him to join him.

Lin Feng was already curious about Liyue's Holy Lord who had existed for at least six thousand years, and he couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Walking beside Zhongli,

After close contact, he discovered that the accumulation of years was also extremely important to a god.

When in Xumi, no matter how Nashida hid, as long as Lin Feng wanted to look for her, he could always find that hint of discord among the crowd.

After all, gods are essentially very different from ordinary humans. No matter how hidden they are, if they are among the crowd, they will be as conspicuous as torches in the dark.

But Zhongli beside him was just like an ordinary person. Apart from his handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, there was no difference between him and ordinary people.

During these extremely long years, the Emperor seemed to have completely integrated into the land of Liyue. No matter the mountains, rocks, plants, birds or beasts, as long as he wanted, he seemed to be able to blend in seamlessly.

Feeling that he still had some things that needed to be carefully experienced over time, Lin Feng said:

"I came to Liyue this time without following the formal procedure of the Seven Gods meeting to submit a visiting card. I came uninvited, and I hope the Rock God will forgive me."

Although the specific process of the meeting of the Seven Gods two thousand years ago has been lost,

But based on the few words left in the Xumi records, Lin Feng could also infer that the visit of the gods at that time should have been a very formal act.

Although it is very common for gods to visit each other nowadays, he still said something polite out of courtesy.

——Of course, if it was some random guy from Mond Street, he would definitely not care about this.

"My friend, don't worry. Xumi and Liyue have been neighboring countries since ancient times."

"It is Liyue's fault that the neighboring country did not send an envoy to congratulate the new god when he took office."

Zhongli paused.

"——As for the cumbersome formalities of a visit from the gods, now apart from me and an old friend, I'm afraid no one else can remember it, so it's better not to mention it."

The Emperor shook his head and responded to his remarks with an attitude that seemed somewhat "cautious" in Lin Feng's opinion.

Chapter 142 Zhongli prepares a meeting gift

As the sun faded, on a small path at Chihuyan,

The two gods, who came from different backgrounds but were both not particular about formalities, met for the first time in such an informal setting.

Obviously, both of them have looks and temperaments that are very approachable. If they were to travel together, they should easily attract other people's attention.

But for some reason, the passers-by seemed to subconsciously ignore them and did not cause any disruption to the conversation.

Noticing the word "new god" in Zhongli's words, Lin Feng understood that he was definitely not talking about Nashida, but himself who ascended to the throne after the previous turmoil.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng said:

“Come to think of it, the last time I came to Liyue by accident, the Emperor clearly never saw me.”

"——But judging from the performance of the Great Sage who conquers demons, you seem to have known a lot about me, and even let me intervene in the Great Sage's karma. Why is that?"

Thinking back to the time when he accidentally came to Liyue because of the geomantic projection, Lin Feng was somewhat curious about the Emperor's attitude towards him, as well as the inexplicable trust and kindness that Xiao had always shown towards him since his appearance.

"."

Zhongli pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally said:

"In fact, as the authority of rock who is most sensitive to earth veins, I noticed a long time ago that there was something wrong with Liyue's earth veins. Although this reaction was weak, it did exist."

"After a rough sense, I found that a section of the earth vein in the direction of Xumi had completely disappeared, as if it had been completely wiped out."

"——And as far as I know, there is no one who can do this."

Zhongli looked at Lin Feng beside him meaningfully, and then said:

"The ley lines, as the foundation of the world, can wither, change course, and collapse."

"——But it is impossible for it to be completely "disappeared" by a higher-level power, as if it had never appeared."

"An existence with this ability has essentially transcended this world. Even if they want to destroy the existence of Teyvat itself and turn everything into nothingness, it is by no means impossible."

"So, since then, I have paid much more attention to Xumi's changes."

Lin Feng "."

Why are you looking at me? The culprit is still sleeping.

Although this is a very sensitive topic, Zhongli did not seem to be a riddler when facing the person involved. He said very frankly:

"I was very cautious at first. After all, after that disaster, Teyvat could no longer fight against an enemy as unrealistic as the Abyss."

"I have made a contract to protect Liyue. I cannot ignore this situation. Even though I am powerless, I have thought about going to Xumi to investigate."

"——But that unexpected 'encounter' with Gui Liyuan finally made me change my mind."

"."

Hearing this, Lin Feng realized something. Thinking of the sense of disharmony he felt the last time he came to Liyue, he asked:

"So, you finally decided to send the Demon-Subduing Great Sage to contact me after you discovered that I could communicate and did not harm the living beings at the scene even in the projection state?"

I thought of Xiao's performance in the plot, that he was always available when called upon.

Lin Feng finally understood why the Demon Subduing Great Sage took so long to appear in front of him.

"Yes, although I feel sorry for the two 'knights' present here,

But after seeing that even in the projection state, the little friend still adhered to the most basic bottom line when it came to killing lives,

I finally gained enough confidence that you would not harm Teyvat."

"Now that I think about it, I am the one who should be ashamed for judging others with malice."

Zhongli shook his head, obviously not satisfied with his decision at that time.

"——And you helped Xiao dispel the resentment of those demon gods without asking for anything in return, which made me owe you a favor that I don't know how to repay."

"The reason why I didn't meet you right away after returning from the Layered Abyss was that I hadn't prepared the return gift yet."

The Emperor has changed his image of a riddle man in the plot. When facing Lin Feng, an "existence beyond common sense", he seems to have thrown away some shackles and become open-minded.

"The Emperor has no need to worry about the Great Sage's affairs."

"For these righteous men who have protected the people for thousands of years and have not retreated even a step despite their karma, it is my wish to lend a helping hand."

"Don't worry about the compensation."

After Lin Feng found out that the Emperor didn't want to see him because he hadn't prepared a gift for the meeting,

He, who had made many guesses, was somewhat speechless.

After thinking for a while, he spoke frankly to the old man in front of him who was a little too serious.

Although he had expected the Emperor to give him some gift at that time, Lin Feng now doesn't care about it that much.

Even though he was somewhat envious of Zhongli's authority of the Rock, given the Emperor's current attitude towards him, it was only a matter of time before he got it after figuring out the specific conditions for obtaining the authority. He didn't need to use the fact that he had helped Xiao to demand anything.

"."

"Forget it. My friend, you are so open-minded. It makes me look a little old-fashioned."

"——Then let's put this matter aside for a few days. I will give you a formal reply after I think about it carefully."

Although Zhongli has not given up the idea of ​​giving a return gift, he does not seem to be as eager to give a result as before.

Although Lin Feng still has many questions about Teyvat, he hopes to check with the living dictionary in front of him that has lived for six thousand years.

But after realizing his position as the "mobile disaster" in the eyes of the natives of Teyvat, he also needed some time to carefully digest the information revealed by Zhongli.

Just then, a lively female voice came into their ears.

"——Strange, where have all the people gone?!"

"Not only Zhongli, how come even Lin Feng is missing? How can I hold the 'First Friendly Cooperation and Exchange Meeting between Bubu Lu and Wangsheng Hall'?"

At the moment the sound came,

Lin Feng noticed that Zhongli, who had appeared calm just now, had a visibly troubled expression on his face, as if he had no way to deal with the overly lively girl in front of him.

However, since the communication between the two had come to an end, he did not seem to continue to maintain the previous shielding effect on passers-by.

Walnut looked around and spotted the two people coming out of the alley. His eyes lit up and he trotted over to them, saying in surprise:

"Oh? Oh? This is really strange!"

"I haven't even introduced you two yet, and you two have already met on your own? Could it be that you two have some hidden connection to members of some mysterious organization?"

Hu Tao's eyes were full of curiosity, and it seemed that he was heading towards the direction of "Great Detective Hu Tangzhu".
