Next came Gui Chuanyu, who took out the prepared ointment from the Qiankun bag.
"Mr. Zhongli, I brought the balm here."
"Well, let's talk about it in front of the statue."
Zhong Li glanced at the ointment in Gui Chuanyu's hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then led the three little ones to the statue.
The simple statue of the god exudes a faint blue light. It stands here quietly, seemingly witnessing the historical changes of Teyvat for thousands of years.
Looking at the carvings on the statue, Zhongli's eyes went blank for a moment.
Paimeng saw Zhongli's look and said, "Did Mr. Zhongli think of something? Why did he suddenly lose focus?"
"It's okay." Zhongli's tone was still so calm and calm.
He turned to Gui Chuanyu and said: "Chuanyu, let's try to offer the ointments one by one, and let Emperor Yanwang choose which one he likes."
"Oh well."
Gui Chuanyu lowered his head and looked at the balm in his hand. Xiaogui very thoughtfully marked and named each ounce of the balm.
It's a pity that he was so focused on leaving the city that he didn't bother to remember these things, so he was not fully literate yet and was really in trouble now.
He turned around and stuffed all the ointment in his hand into Kong's arms, and said awkwardly: "Brother Kong, hehe. I can't read, so you should do it."
After saying that, he handed over a piece of paper that Xiaogui had copied.
"That's fine."
Kong carefully took the three balms in his hand. After identifying them, Kong placed [Golden House Cangjiao] on the base of the statue.
Paimon, who picked up the paper, looked at the words on it, compared it with the name on the balm, and whispered.
"This is the first balm. The shop owner said it is sweet and dreamy, and is the favorite of little girls."
After reading the instructions on the paper, Paimon looked at the unresponsive balm and statue and asked, "Does this mean that the Rock God doesn't like this?"
"There's no rush." Zhongli crossed his arms and stood there, signaling, "Go on."
Hearing this, Kong placed the second type of [Sanin Brocade Cluster] on it, and Paimon's explanation began again.
"This is the second type of ointment. It is said to be aristocratic and the favorite of wealthy daughters. Well, it seems that the statue of the gods has no indication of anything."
They waited for a while, but this time Kong put the last ointment on without waiting for Zhongli's signal.
Paimon also continued: "This third type should be [Piaomiao Xianyuan], right? It says that the fragrance is gentle but lingers for a long time, like a hazy mist. It is most popular among mature women. Who wrote this?
Yeah? I always feel so weird. Have you reacted?!"
Before Paimon could finish his thoughts, he saw that the statue, which had been motionless, was suddenly covered with a mist-like veil after the third balm was put on it.
The light pink mist spiraled up the statue, as if it were covered with a fine veil.
"This, this should be considered a reaction, right?!"
"Hmm" Sora looked at Zhongli uncertainly, "It seems the answer is the third type of balm?"
Paimon looked at the statue and said in confusion: "But this is the style that mature big sisters like, right? Could it be that [Emperor Rock King] is actually a big sister?"
"Hahaha, maybe," Zhongli interrupted with a smile, "[Emperor Rock King] has thousands of incarnations, maybe there really is such an image."
Just pretend
Ruo Tuo, who was lying on Gui Chuanyu's head, rolled his eyes at Zhongli.
It's a pity that although he is very familiar with Zhongli, now that they are so close, the other party rarely responds to his communication.
Ruo Tuo didn't know why this was, but as his thoughts were basically on Xiao Bai, he didn't bother to delve into it at the moment.
Gui Chuanyu interrupted at this time: "So there are many incarnations of the emperor? I thought he was always in the shape of a dragon."
"Yes." Paimon also spread his hands in time, "And I hope Qixing can catch the real murderer."
"Let those in high positions be left to worry about. We only need to prepare a farewell ceremony with [Emperor Rock King]."
"Uh-huh!"
Gui Chuanyu nodded crazily: "So now that we have completed the selection of balm, will the next step be an adventure in the wild?!"
"Haha." Zhongli looked at Gui Chuanyu who was getting excited and said with a smile, "Strictly speaking, it's not an adventure, but we need to find a wild glazed lily."
"Glass Lily?"
Paimeng looked at Kong in surprise and asked, "Did we meet at Grandma Ping's place yesterday?"
After saying that, she turned to Zhongli and asked: "Mr. Zhongli, doesn't the Glazed Lily grow in Liyue Port? Why do you have to look for it in the wild?"
"Those are all artificially cultivated and are not suitable for use."
"Uh, is there a difference in this too?"
Gui Chuanyu didn't care about this. He thought for a while and said: "I remembered it. I remember Wangshu Inn, and there are still some in Guiliyuan. How about we go there to look for them?"
Zhongli nodded: "That's what I meant, so I asked you to get ready yesterday. We will spend the next few days in the wild."
"It's okay. I made an agreement with my mother, and she has prepared food for everyone! Let's go quickly!"
——
In Guiliyuan, in a ruins, Ying watched the Abyss Mage commanding a group of Qiuqiu people to be busy digging.
She stood on a boulder, looked up at the hole above, and then looked down at the layout of the entire underground space, carefully feeling everything in the space and remaining silent.
The light from scattered torches around her shone brightly and dimly on her face, making it hard to see clearly.
Ying frowned slightly. The further down she went, the more she felt the terror of the frightening power of the abyss below.
This is not a good thing.
Judging from the demand, such a majestic power of the abyss completely exceeded her expectations, to the point where even she had to be careful.
"Your Highness, I feel the surge of energy in the surrounding earth veins. It seems that if I continue digging, those Qiuqiu monsters infected by the power of the abyss will soon emerge. For the safety of Your Highness, would you please leave this place first?"
"No, the power of the abyss below is far greater than expected. I can't leave." As she said this, she looked up at the respectful Abyss Mage and asked, "Are you sure this is the only place nearby that agrees with your request?"
Feeling that his recommendation seemed to put Ying in a difficult position, the Abyss Mage bowed even deeper.
"Yes, Your Highness. It seems that the ground lines in Liyue have been cleaned up before. The layout of the ground lines has changed, causing the previous records to lose their reference value. This is the only place that can be found that agrees with your request.
.”
"Then continue, but be careful, I feel there seems to be a powerful presence below."
