Mandrill leaned against the pillar and said to Gui Chuanyu.
Gui Chuanyu, who was wearing a horse stance, had a bulging face, and she was obviously a little unconvinced.
"Master, I practiced horse riding when I was a child."
"And my uncle also taught me later, and I'm really good at it!"
He said this not because he wanted to show off, but mainly because he wanted to express that he could actually do it after practicing recently.
But that's not the case in Mandrill's ears.
Mandrill, with his arms folded across his chest, looked at the child speechlessly: "How old are you? Where did you come from when you were a child?!"
After saying that, he casually picked up a small stone, held it in his hand, and threw it at his apprentice with controlled force.
winter--
"Ouch! It... hurts so much!"
A stone hit her thigh, and the pain made Gui Chuanyu's horse stance shaky.
The soreness on his thigh also made him want to reach out and rub it.
But he raised his eyes like a conditioned reflex, after seeing his master's expressionless eyes.
Gui Chuanyu was stunned but did not change the posture of the horse's steps.
At the same time, I endured all kinds of pain and discomfort and tried my best to make the horse stance more standard.
After more than a month of getting along with each other, the smart Gui Chuanyu has learned when to be obedient and when to be coquettish after suffering several hardships.
But every time at this time, he missed his uncle very much, because in his memory, his uncle always insisted on letting him play.
Although there is also practice, it is mostly just explanations and exercises, and no requirements are made.
Gritting his teeth, Gui Chuanyu was still insisting, and Mandrill, who was watching on the side, nodded inwardly.
Simply speaking, the child's temperament and talent are top-notch.
Mandrill was very satisfied with this.
He looked up at the sky, and the heavy rain clouds outside the eaves were still floating in the sky.
The continuous spring rain never stopped.
The patter of rain beats on the leaves, gathering into droplets of water and falling to the ground, making a "ding-dong" sound.
The rare peaceful atmosphere made Mandrill feel a little lost.
But he was soon interrupted.
Guichuanyu's mind wandered away again, which made him feel confused and a little unhappy at the same time.
"What happened to you today?"
"Can't you bear this little pain?"
"No." Gui Chuanyu shook his head and denied.
Because he had to endure the physical pain, the look on his face was a little funny at the moment.
"Master, I'm a little worried about Garfield. His temper has become so weird recently that he won't let me hold him."
"Also, I suddenly miss my uncle...and my mother..."
It has been more than two months, and he has never been away from his family for so long.
Days like this made him miss his family so much.
Hearing his disciple's words, Mandrill fell silent.
He had a general understanding of Ruo Tuo's situation, but he didn't quite understand it.
In fact, he doesn't even understand everything about your family.
Just like he still doesn't understand why Ouyang wants to be Gui Chuanyu's master.
Relatively speaking, the True Lord of Gechenlang City who is also in Liyue Port is obviously more suitable than him.
But due to the emperor's advice, he never delved into it.
He only knew that the reason for Ruo Tuo's recent bad temper should be related to Ouyang.
But obviously you cannot talk to your children about this.
So Mandrill had no choice but to comfort him: "Didn't you ask Garfield to go to the Keqing military camp to deliver the news?"
"Now calm down and practice hard. We will know the situation when he comes back."
"Oh." Gui Chuanyu replied dully.
Different from the simple and peaceful days here, the Keqing Military Camp far away in Guiliyuan seemed much livelier.
Ever since Ouyang got rid of an evil spirit here, the excavation work of this section of the river has gone extremely smoothly.
Except for the occasional encounter with some small monsters, there are no major events.
After Master Lishui Dieshan came here to help, the progress of the entire project was as fast as adding a rocket!
The canal from Guiliyuan to Yaoguangtan has been dug.
Not only that, now even the water section near Shimen and Mondstadt has been completed.
Now there are only some finishing touches left.
Such as building some toll stations, bridges, cleaning up construction waste and other tasks.
In the drizzle, Ke Qing stood alone on the river bank without an umbrella, looking at the dug canal.
Today is the day to send the immortal away.
The canal project was coming to an end, and Lord Li Shui Die Shan did not choose to stay after completing his work.
After a simple farewell ceremony, he left.
But after the excitement, she came here unconsciously and stood in the rain looking at the dams built on both sides of the river bank, quietly lost in thought.
A canal starting from Shimen and winding all the way to Yaoguang Beach was built.
This should have been a feeling of accomplishment.
But I did not get the happiness and joy I imagined.
It seems... maybe there should be two people standing here.
She could proudly say to him, "Look, I have completed your plan for you!"
It's a pity that now the spring rain is falling, and she is the only one left here.
Thinking of the news about the disappearance of Tianshu Star in the intelligence, the joy that the canal was about to be completed did not dampen the worries about Ouyang's safety.
Where have you been?
The same problem also troubled Shen He who was far away in the Rock Abyss.
She stood under the eaves of the tent, looking at the entrance of the cave, as quiet as a watchtower stone.
It's been two months. We promised to meet each other soon, but now we just want to punch each other twice.
fraud!
Snap——
An innocent pebble was kicked away, slid through a graceful arc and landed on the other side of the mountain.
winter--
"Meow?!" (Who throws things without any sense of ethics?!)
Ruotuo, who was running with all his strength, was startled by the sudden appearance of the pebble.
It's not that it hurts, it's not as painful as scratching, but it's not very harmful and very humiliating.
He was already extremely irritable, and he looked around as if he had found an outlet to vent, hoping to find the culprit and teach him a lesson.
But before he could get angry, he saw that Shen He heard the sound and came here.
She looked at Ruo Tuo who appeared in front of her, and an ominous omen arose in her heart.
"Garfield? Why are you here? Something happened to Gui Chuanyu?!"
As he spoke, Shen He's body was filled with murderous aura, which shocked Ruo Tuo.
The murderous aura that shot straight into the sky formed a strong wind, blowing away all the surrounding gravel and drizzle.
"No, no!" Ruotuo quickly reassured.
The murderous aura dissipated and the spring rain fell again, but the frosty-faced Shen He asked with a strange expression: "You, can talk?!"
Well...
The scene was awkward for a moment.
After a period of explanation, Shen He generally understood - a fairy pet that Ouyang had conquered.
After understanding this, she asked clearly: "So you are anxious because you can't feel Ouyang's position on the seal?"
"Yes." Ruotuo nodded very humanely and continued, "I originally thought he had gone out, but I didn't expect that there was still no news after two months. So I went to Keqing to ask.
I came here after the situation failed."
Hearing this, Shen He pointed to the cave not far away and said: "The Qianyan Army said that Ouyang Dai came to encircle and suppress the treasure stealing group here, but they did not expect that they had already dug through the huge rock abyss here, so for safety reasons, they
I decided to go and investigate on my own.”
"But it just disappeared after going down. The latest news came from the Fools a long time ago."
"It was said that Ouyang jumped from the stone hall in Qi District, but there was no new news after that."
Is that so?
Ruotuo looked up at the cave. The cat's face was full of worry.
In the abyss.
Ouyang is still competing with himself.
As the saying goes, if you add more noodles, add more water, and if you add more water, add noodles, what will be the consequences if the energy of the earth veins remains unchanged?
He didn't know what it was specifically, he only knew that after the entire "Tao Te Ching" was read out.
The halo representing the sky, which was originally flickering, became as bright as the scorching sun, and the entire energy structure was completely outsized compared to the sea of earth veins.
But the magical thing is that the aperture representing heaven, earth and man is extremely stable.
This directly goes beyond Ouyang's understanding of the energy stability of the formation.
It’s neither reasonable nor scientific!
But the facts were clearly placed in front of him.
Now he only needs to cast the last spell to integrate the formation into himself, which will end everything completely.
But it was this step that made Ouyang hesitate for a long time, and he was reluctant to take the next step.
He hesitated because the part about the God King in the earth line information made him understand that this was the simplest, most convenient, referenced and fruitful road.
The God King also has such an energy structure, so it shows that it is completely feasible for him to do this!
So even if it seems extremely unreasonable at the moment, at least the path is right.
But there was always a voice in his heart reminding him to give up on this path that had been firmly established by his predecessors.
The reason is very simple, the God King is no longer on Sky Island!
One seems to have a clear path, and the other is unknown. How to choose?
Looking forward and backward, struggling, suffering, hesitating...
At this moment, Ouyang's suspicious and eccentric character was vividly displayed.
When his spirit was tortured to the brink of collapse by this kind of trouble, he suddenly asked himself a question.
Why do I have to take this path?
My mind opens up instantly.
If you want this invincible strength, then it is completely unnecessary.
If it wasn't Versailles and the God-King was gone, how many people in Teyvat could bully him?
Even if the God King returns, now that we know the opponent's energy structure, wouldn't it be easy to seize the authority of the earth line with a backhand?
I may not be able to defeat you, but wouldn't it be very simple to take away the authority of the earth line and make you unable to defeat me?
As for the whole world really being against me...
After living like this, is there any difference between death and life?!
Even, is this road traveled by the God King really suitable for me, Ouyang?!
Why don't I go my own way?!
Thinking of this, Ouyang's spirit suddenly brightened.
While thinking, Ouyang raised his head and looked at the halo of light in mid-air that represented the three talents.
At this moment he was relieved.
When the formation was about to collapse and he was about to be swallowed by the backlash energy, Ouyang's hand seals changed.
"People follow the law!"
bite--
There seemed to be a crisp sound, and the aperture representing the person collapsed.
As the aperture collapsed, the spiritual power in Ouyang's body also dissipated.
puff--
A mouthful of blood spat out uncontrollably, but Ouyang remained unmoved.
"Earth and Heaven!"
winter--
Just like a huge bell from ancient times was tolled, the halo representing the earth's veins also disintegrated.
The power of the earth veins in the body dissipated quickly.
The earth in this space finally became quiet at this moment.
The doomsday-like shaking scene finally stopped.
"The Way of Heaven!"
rumble--
In the deafening thunder, the last aperture collapsed.
The energy in the space of the birth constellation also turns into light points and is about to drift away.
These fragments are flashing with little haloes and are about to dissipate into the sky and the earth.
But at this moment, Ouyang, whose aura had dropped to the lowest point, let out all his mind and controlled the fragments of light between heaven and earth.
The shattered light spots did not dissipate, but regrouped and began to rotate at high speed.
"Tao follows nature!"
boom--
There was a loud bang, and bursts of bells came to my ears.
A Tai Chi yin and yang fish picture took shape at this moment.
The light that penetrated the heaven and earth also appeared again at this moment, and along with it, the Tao Yun lotus flowers all over Ouyang began to appear.
Although there were many strange phenomena, Ouyang's original momentum did not rise again, but became more restrained.
Looking at all this, Ouyang smiled happily.
Abandoning everything and reshaping Taoism, it actually worked.
With a wave of his hand, the Tai Chi diagram in the sky floated towards him and merged into his body.
At the same time, all the visions between heaven and earth disappeared.
Swish——
Jumping to the ground, Ouyang felt himself and found that although his strength was not comparable to that of Trinity, he was indeed more free.
He stretched out his palm, and the seven elements were switched at will between his thoughts, no longer needing the help of formations.
Not only that, every elemental force contains this supreme Tao charm, and its power is naturally much stronger.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain something.
When Ouyang was still feeling the changes in himself.
The end of the long river of time, or the beginning.
Yinstalu, who was guarding here, opened her eyes.
She felt the changes between heaven and earth, and her face was ashen!
This increasingly unfamiliar natural law made her at a loss, and at the same time, she became increasingly worried about the outcome of her fate.
What Ouyang didn't know was that while he was rushing along, he accidentally used the Tao Te Ching to slowly change the way of heaven into his shape.
But these are not important to him.
After trying a few times, he wanted to go back quickly.
After wandering outside for so long, it's hard to say that Shen He should be impatient.
But when he wanted to open the passage in this space with his hand and return to Teyvat, a figure suddenly appeared in the area covered by his mind.
human figure.
Turning his head and looking around, he saw the figure running towards here at a very fast speed.
Blonde hair, girl, boots...
Each element was noticed by Ouyang. When the opponent came to a stop ten meters away, Ouyang blurted out and asked: "Where is your Paimon?"
"What Pamon?"
Well...
Seeing the other party's appearance, Ouyang understood instantly.
The protagonist of this world seems to be Brother Kong.
But before he could say anything more, Ying's words directly raised his vigilance to the highest level.
The girl was seen standing ten meters away. After seeing Ouyang's face clearly, she asked with some uncertainty: "Are you... Ouyang from the Liyue family?"
Bah——
Thick rock elements directly wrapped Ying, and Ouyang walked to her step by step with a sullen face.
"Why do you know me?"
This is simply unreasonable. Shouldn't this woman be busy seeking revenge from Heaven?
How could it be related to Liyue’s noble family?
The trapped Ying resisted fiercely. Infused with the powerful power of the abyss, she wanted to directly break through the rock elemental prison that trapped her.
But I tried several times but failed.
Looking at Ouyang approaching, Ying gave up her resistance and said quietly: "Five years ago... it should be six years ago, Gui Jin once thought about cooperating with us, but in the end we did not reach a cooperation."
"And after you took over your family, I didn't find you out of caution."
Fart, does Gui Jin have anything to do with the people in the abyss?
Ouyang didn't believe Ying's words at all!
Although generations of your family have not made much contribution, they will not do things that are not tolerated by the world.
What's more, Gui Jin wants to grow his family.
He also knew that once he was unclear about the abyss, his family would be doomed!
This is Liyue's bottom line and cannot be discussed.
So Ouyang Yin warned with a sullen face: "You have one last chance to tell the truth. I can't possibly believe that Gui Jin would want to cooperate with you in the abyss."
"Cooperation is real!" Ying said hurriedly, "I went to discuss this in person. At that time, your family needed Mora, and I needed some formations from your family, so I approached Guijin."
After saying this, Ouyang almost believed it.
The main reason is that as long as you don't fight, you can't tell the nature of energy in Ying's aura.
So it can be explained that Gui Jin was deceived by her.
Just...what does she want?!
"What do you want?"
"I heard that your family has been inherited for thousands of years and has the most complete formations in Teyvat. I want a formation diagram of the Sancai Formation."
Ouyang glanced at the other party silently and said no more.
Under Ying's strange eyes, Ouyang turned around and opened the space without saying a word and walked in.
The stone prison that trapped her also dissipated at this moment.
"Who is..."
Frowning, the words he was about to complain about stopped when he reached his lips.
In this dim space, under dim light, an array diagram appeared on the ground at some point.
