After agreeing with Zhongli on a specific time to go to "Salt of the Earth" when he still had time, Xianyu and others left.
In the next few days, we will be dealing with follow-up matters, and this period of time is relatively dull.
It was not until half a month later that Xianyu and Kong went to Shengtang to find Zhongli.
"I'm sorry, you three, for keeping you waiting for so long."
The three of them just waited outside the door for a short while before Zhongli came out.
"It's okay. Is there anything else you need to prepare, Mr. Zhongli?"
"No, just leave like this."
Xian Yu nodded slightly.
There is no need for preparation, and there are no two stumbling blocks in the original plot. The four of them all know the details, so there is no need to hurry up.
…
"Here we are, I haven't been to this place for a long time."
Zhongli looked at the ruins in the lake and seemed to sigh.
Xian Yu was not surprised. He guessed that the seal here was made by Zhongli. The reason was very simple. It was like Mondstadt's wind barrier, which prevented the demon's power from leaking out.
Sora and the others had never been here before, so they didn't know the specific situation. They were just listening quietly.
"I was here last time, but I couldn't find a way to solve it, so I had to ask Mr. Zhongli to help."
Xianyu stared at the seal and said.
"Sealing is actually not difficult. Have you seen the three stone pillars and obelisk a hundred meters away?"
Xianyu saw the stone pillars when he came here last time, but he didn't think there was anything special about them.
As for ruins, it's normal to have damaged buildings, but since Zhongli specifically pointed it out, it should be related to the seal.
"We saw it, but isn't it an ordinary stone pillar? Does it have any connection with our sealing barrier?"
Paimon didn't understand and asked directly. Sora didn't understand too well either. He stared at the stone pillars but couldn't see any difference.
"That's not an ordinary stone pillar. You'll understand if you use elemental power to attack it."
After Zhong Li finished speaking, Xian Yu directly hit the stone pillars in three directions with three ice balls.
The next moment, the surface of the stone pillar shattered, revealing some mysterious runes. The runes on it also lit up after coming into contact with the elemental power.
The obelisk lit up, but the seal remained motionless.
Xian Yu was not in a hurry. Since Zhongli had already said it, there should be no more concealment, so he just looked at Zhongli.
"Not bad, not impatient, a rare quality."
"There are four obelisks. Currently, only three of them are activated, namely, east, west and south. There is another one in the north, but it is a little hidden. That stone stele is under the water and is pressed down by huge rocks. It is not surprising that you can't see it."
north?
"Come on, let's go there."
It was easy for the three of them to walk on the water.
Sora's strength has almost recovered to some extent at this time, so it's no problem.
A distance of 100 meters is a blink of an eye.
Zhongli just raised his hand in the air, and the water surface suddenly surged. The turbid water continued to spread around, and a huge boulder about fifty meters in diameter was blown away.
The next moment, the water surface continued to ripple, and an invisible wave spread out from the sealed place.
"Okay, I just activated this obelisk and the seal has been opened. Let's go to the ruins."
It is hidden so deep and has no obvious features, so it is indeed difficult to find it. It is indeed difficult to find and unravel it.
Now Xianyu almost likes "accidents" and can accept some differences.
The raging lake water continued to pour into the ruins, making waves of roar.
"You have to hurry up. Because of the seal, there was no water down there, but now it won't be long before it will be flooded."
The four of them jumped down without hesitation and followed Zhongli.
After flying for a few minutes, a few people arrived at a stone gate.
"Zhongli, we've been flying for so long, it's so far away! I'm so tired from flying..."
After Paimon stopped, he touched his phantom limb and couldn't help but say.
"The terrain here is slightly higher than before outside. There is no need to rush for the time being. You guys stand back and I will open the door."
The method of opening the door was not complicated. Zhongli just knocked twice on the left and right doors, pushed hard, and the door slowly opened.
When the four of them walked in, what they saw was white salt like snow.
Even the top of the ruins is covered with a layer of salt and sand. I don’t know if Zhongli started to seal it or something else, but salt kept falling above their heads.
"The ruins have been activated and the seal has been lifted. This demon ruins is about to collapse. Although it won't pose much danger to us, we'd better take away the things you need as soon as possible."
Zhongli knew Xianyu's purpose very well, so he didn't sign a contract or anything like that.
And he also said before that this visit is a thank you gift.
"Well, that's true. If the ruins collapse, there will be a lot of trouble."
With Zhongli leading the way, many unnecessary wrong paths were avoided. This was not the kind of path in the game, and there were also guidelines.
Salt of the Earth, this is a capital city! You can imagine how big and complicated a city is.
As they walked forward, the shock on Paimon and Sora's faces never disappeared.
"The power of the demon god, even if they die, is still not something ordinary people can bear. These statues you see are actually the people of Heulia, the demon god of salt."
Zhongli also carefully explained this strange phenomenon to the three of them.
Although Xian Yu knew it, he still listened to it.
"Why? Why would the devil do something to his own people? Is she that kind of evil god?"
Paimon and Sora couldn't understand that almost all the demon gods they had seen were good gods except Ocell.
Even those immortals, although they sometimes don't care much about humans, would not intentionally hurt them.
"Sometimes what you see is not real, and these salted people are not the devil's original intention."
"The Demon God of Salt, Heulia, is the owner of this city. She is actually a very kind Demon God. She is so kind that even if her people raised a butcher knife against her, they would not resist."
Zhongli just told this matter in a very normal tone, but when they heard it, they couldn't believe it.
Someone would kill him, but no one would be able to catch him without help, let alone a demon.
They might have doubts about what others said, but what Zhongli said... they didn't have much doubts.
Paimon's tone was hesitant.
"Zhongli, what you mean is... that the demon god named Heulia was killed by her people? And these people were caused by the death of the demon god?"
Zhongli nodded: "Yes, as I said before, the power of the demon god is very strong, even if the demon god is very weak."
"And these people became like this because they had no time to escape and were affected by the power of the devil."
After experiencing what happened to Osel, Sora actually understood the power of the demon.
No! Not only Osel, he knew that the power of the devil was not simple when he fought with Tevalin.
It was just that Wendy was there at that time, the Immortal and the Seven Stars were also there about Osel, and there weren't many casualties, so I didn't think about it.
Seeing this scene now, they were deeply shocked.
At the same time, I also understood how harmful the power of the devil can be.
"Song... tell me... will the wind barrier at the tower ruins..."
