Chapter 449: True Monarch Cutting the Moon and Building the Yang
As the stone steps went up, Kong unexpectedly discovered that this mountain road was easier to walk than expected.
The mountain road is wide and the narrowest part is enough for five people to walk side by side.
There were no obstacles on the road, and other than the long road, everything was fine.
Not only that, the scenery is also very good.
After clearing several waves of Qiuqiu camps along the way, the two crossed the suspension bridge along the road and continued upward.
Hua Hua——
After turning a corner, the sound of gurgling water reached my ears.
"Huh? Traveler, there is actually a mountain spring here?! I'll have a taste!"
Paimon is a man of action, especially when it comes to food and drink.
So after finishing speaking, without waiting for an answer, she couldn't wait to fly out.
Sora didn't stop him, he still walked up the mountain at his own pace, neither fast nor slow.
This is the second day of mountain climbing. If we include the two days since we left Liyue Port and arrived at Jueyunjian, it has already been almost four days.
The climbing process on the first day went very smoothly. After seeing the wide mountain road, Kong once thought he could reach the top of the mountain in one day.
Therefore, he climbed up quickly without any effort.
Along the way, he also passed many medicinal collectors.
But as he became more and more afraid of heights, the sky gradually darkened over time. Only when he never met another herbal picker did Kong realize that something was wrong.
Almost exhausted, he looked up and saw that the mountain road was winding all the way up. The top of the mountain in his eyes seemed to have always been that high and the distance had not changed.
It was also at this time that Kong remembered what he meant when he was chatting with a herbal collector before, and the other person said, "It's not about speed when climbing a mountain, it's about rhythm, otherwise haste makes waste."
Obviously this mountain cannot be climbed in one day.
Unfortunately, by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
Tired and lying down, Sora dealt with it casually and found a flat piece of land nearby to spend the night.
I also learned this lesson, so I climbed very smoothly the next day, one step at a time, neither too fast nor too slow, and I controlled the rhythm very well.
After turning a few more corners, Sora noticed that the scenery in front of him had changed suddenly. The road that was originally surrounded by mountains on both sides had now changed.
The road is still wide, and the mountain on the right is still there.
It becomes the left hand side, and the mountain disappears when it reaches here.
Standing here, you can see the rolling mountains from the left hand side, and the view is much wider.
"Traveler!"
Paimon's shout brought Sora's mind back.
He looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw Paimon sitting on a rock, gnawing on a fruit he didn't know where he picked from.
Paimon looked over and said excitedly: "Traveler, there is a waterfall here! It's so high! Then I saw two fruit trees not far away. I picked some. Now, you can try it too, it's so sweet.
of!"
Kong took it and looked at the red fruit in his hand. The color looked like an apple and the shape looked like a sundowner fruit. He couldn't even name it.
Click——
After taking a bite, the crunchy pulp tasted very good, and the sweet juice spread in his mouth. It miraculously made him feel less tired from climbing mountains.
What a magical fruit!
Kong glanced at the fruit again and asked Paimon, "Paimon, where did you pick it?"
"It's not far ahead." Paimon replied strangely, "There are only two of them. How about it? Are they delicious? I kept them specially for you!"
"Haven't you noticed that after eating the fruit, your body's fatigue is reduced a lot?"
"Eh? Is there any?" Paimon was a little surprised, but after carefully feeling the changes in his body, he still hesitated and said, "Well, I just feel that I am in good spirits, and there is nothing else."
"Sure enough, Paimon, you won't feel tired while floating, right?!"
"How is that possible?! Flying also requires physical strength!"
The two began their daily bickering mode again.
The mountain climbing continued, and Sora didn't stop much when passing the waterfall.
The rumbling sound of the water and the rising water vapor should have been extremely spectacular.
Unfortunately, on this sunless day, the splendor was greatly reduced.
"Traveller, why are there always such thick clouds in the sky in Liyue? Paimon can't even see the rainbow on the waterfall."
"Actually, it's not just Liyue. Before Mona left, she said that clouds were gathering even in Mondstadt."
"Wow, can such weather actually appear in Mondstadt?" Paimon said in surprise, "Isn't it the wind that makes Mondstadt feel like spring all year round?"
"How do I know this?"
We walked and talked, passed the waterfall, and passed the fruit tree where Paimon mentioned picking the fruit.
Unfortunately, this is not a forest. Two fruit trees that Sora doesn't understand grow on the edge of the cliff. They look very dangerous.
And as Paimon said, the fruit is gone.
Continuing forward, Kong soon discovered that the mountain road was much wider not far ahead. There was a pavilion here. I wonder if it was used for those who picked herbs to rest.
Beside the pavilion, there is this stone tablet.
Paimeng read curiously: "There is a shortcut in Zhongnan. There is a road in Huashan. I want to find it. The clouds are dense. You can see the ups and downs on the high ground. Eh? The clouds are dense? Do you mean there are really secrets in the clouds?"
"How do I know this? I don't even know if there are immortals now."
Kong ignored Paimon's question and continued on the road after a brief rest.
It was evening, and Sora was about to take a rest. After turning a corner, he was surprised to find that there was a square in front of him!
"Wow, is there a square on such a high mountain?" Paimon looked at the sky in disbelief, and flew around the square eagerly.
After returning, Paimon said with some frustration: "It's nothing special. The square is paved with floor tiles, but judging from the traces that have been mostly buried by the soil, it should be very ancient."
"Don't be discouraged. These traces at least show that it is not simple here." Kong looked at an inscription in front of him, "Let's go, there is another inscription there."
The two of them walked through the deserted square and came to the stone monument. Paimon read again.
"The happy clouds are not always here, and the dark clouds are not here for a long time. It is better to climb to the top of the sky, rain or shine. I don't understand the other things, but to the top of the sky, does it mean that we can climb to the highest point among the clouds?"
"I don't know. Anyway, we are climbing a mountain. We will climb up and have a look when the time comes."
The two were still communicating, but suddenly they heard a question coming from behind.
"Who are you, and why did you break into [Jueyunjian] without permission?"
The two of them turned around in surprise and saw a deer standing behind them at some point?!
Although it looked like a deer, Kong, who had heard various legends in Liyue, still suppressed the doubts in his heart very well.
He directly took out the hundred-no-taboo basket and said, "Are you an immortal? Please take a look at this first."
As he spoke, he walked up to the other party and raised the talisman in his hand so that the other party could see it more clearly.
"One hundred no taboos?" Zhen Yue Zhu Yang was surprised, but he still let go of his vigilance and introduced himself, "I am the immortal with three eyes and five manifestations, Zhen Yue Zhu Yang Zhen Jun. Traveler, since you are holding the token
Come, please explain your purpose of coming."
"Hello, my name is Paimon, his name is Kong, and he is a traveler." Paimon took over the topic well and began to explain.
"When we were participating in the ceremony to invite immortals a few days ago, we suddenly discovered that the god of Liyue actually fell from the sky and died during the ceremony. Then we. Finally, we took the Baiwu Taolu to look for the immortal."
As soon as Paimon finished his eloquent explanation, Sora felt a pressure burst from the immortal's body.
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Nieyue's deep voice said angrily, "A person above the Immortal Ceremony can actually allow someone to assassinate the emperor?! Can Qixing not even be able to do such a thing? It's simply unreasonable!!!"
Rumble——
The air seemed to vibrate at Zueyue's words, Paimon said quickly.
"Uh, Immortal, please calm down first, uh" Unfortunately, feeling the pressure from the True Lord, she suddenly ran out of words.
In desperation, she looked towards the airdrop for help.
Obviously, she was frightened.
Sora was also affected by Zuoyue's powerful strength, which caused ringing in his ears and a headache, but fortunately he could still persevere.
"Zhenjun, this kind of thing happening in Liyue is definitely not what Qixing wants to see. We are here to tell you the news, and we also hope that you and Qixing can work together to overcome this crisis!"
Um?
After hearing this, Xieyue's mood eased. He looked at Kong with his eyes and said with some appreciation in his tone: "I didn't see it. You are not old, but your thinking is very sensitive."
"Yes, the emperor was assassinated. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Liyue cannot cause chaos."
After finishing speaking, he said to Kong and Paimon: "I already know about this matter. The emperor's assassination is definitely not an easy matter."
"It's a pity that if I just let me handle this matter alone, it might be biased. Traveler, I would like to trouble you to help me summon the immortals."
"It's okay, but I don't know who else is there, and I don't know where they are?" Kong Wenyan spread his hands, saying that he didn't know anything.
Xieyue looked at the gloomy sky and explained: "Zhenjun Li Shui stacks the mountains, Zhenjun Liuyun borrows the wind, these two are always here, you should be able to find them with the token, just follow the fate."
"There is also a great sage who conquers demons, the protector Yaksha. He usually stays at Wangshu Inn. You can also try to find him."
"Huh?" Paimon tilted his head and asked sheepishly, "Immortal, of course we can help you find other immortals, but we are looking for someone, so what are you going to do?"
"Me?" Zuoyue's tone was obviously still full of anger. He shook his head and turned around to walk in the direction of his cave.
"As immortals from Liyue, we are guarding here according to the emperor's order. Naturally, we can't leave easily."
"Go quickly. Don't delay!"
A family of four has fallen victim to some kind of mycoplasma infection. My current condition is very bad, and it is even more impossible to break out. Let me take Quanqin first. If I want to raise it, I won’t blame anyone.
