"Take this jade pendant." Zhongli took out a jade pendant and handed it to Mandrill, "This is my specially prepared jade pendant. It can largely conceal the part of the little guy's power that belongs to me. Give it to her if necessary.
Seeing this jade pendant will put her at ease. When you think she is capable of being on her own, release her into the crowd..."
"By the way, don't tell Liu Yun and others my identity for the time being, and don't let them know Zhong Mo's existence."
After explaining some things, Zhongli left some [Lianli Zhenxin Powder] and left Wangshu Inn. He collected the talismans, carried the Zhenxin Powder, and returned to the inn room.
Seeing that Zhong Mo was still awake on the bed, Mandrill put the medicine away. He lifted up a small stool and sat in front of the bed, staring at Zhong Mo lying on the bed. Since Zhongli asked him to take good care of Zhong Mo, he naturally
Will abide by the emperor's contract.
Mandrill stared at Zhong Mo like this. Unknowingly, under the influence of Zhong Mo, the karma deep in his soul became calm. The soul that had maintained a high pitch for thousands of years was suddenly relieved. Mandrill actually fell asleep without knowing it.
past.
Mandrill no longer knows what dreams feel like. It has been too long since the last time he dreamed. How many years ago was that? It has been so long that the memory has become blurred, the body has begun to forget, and the soul has begun to tire.
The fluctuations emitted by the fusion of power in Zhong Mo's body temporarily suppressed the karma in Mandrill's soul. However, as the fusion of power in Zhong Mo's body was completed, the leaked fluctuations began to disappear, and the karma in Mandrill's soul began to boil again.
.
Mandrill suddenly woke up from his sleep. The dream just now seemed to be an illusion from gods and demons. He was afraid that when he woke up, he would face corpses and broken arms inside and outside Wangshu Inn.
Wangshu Inn was still bustling with people as usual, as if he had accidentally fallen asleep and it was an illusion. The only difference was that there was a pair of golden eyes on the bed staring at him curiously.
For a moment, it was as if the space had condensed, and only this pair of eyes were left staring at each other between heaven and earth, but Mandrill was the first to react.
"I see. Did you suppress your karma unconsciously? Thank you very much."
The little guy on the bed just tilted his head and stared at him like this.
"What's wrong, are you looking for Mr. Zhongli?"
Zhong Mo nodded.
"Mr. Zhongli left for something. Before he left, he entrusted you to me. But you don't have to worry. Mr. Zhongli will come back to see you every once in a while."
Zhong Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.
Beings created by elements are uniquely endowed with the knowledge of the world since their birth. Apart from not having their own personal memories, they have already understood some common sense in the world.
When Mandrill took out the jade pendant that contained Zhongli's power, she seemed to let down her guard. She saw two ancient Liyue characters engraved on the jade pendant: Zhong Mo.
Feeling the familiar power, Zhong Mo asked.
"Who are you?"
"In terms of mortal relationships, I should be considered your teacher now."
"Teacher? Are you going to teach me something?"
"Let's talk about this tomorrow. I think you are hungry now. I'll ask the boss to prepare some food."
Wangshu Inn, front desk.
Phil Godette shouted to the kitchen: "Yanxiao! Make two portions of almond tofu and send them upstairs!"
"Hey, why did this guest want two servings today? Is he in a better mood? His appetite is whetted? Or maybe my cooking skills have improved again, hahaha."
"Why do you ask so many questions? Just make your tofu! Remember to be quick!"
"Lady boss, don't you know me yet? I promise to finish it quickly!"
"It's not the boss lady! It's the boss!"
"I got it! Boss lady!"
The area around the inn was undoubtedly noisy, and all kinds of images of mortals came from all directions and reflected in Zhong Mo's mind. When she came to the world for the first time, she greedily accepted everything in the world.
Not long after, the door moved slightly, and Mandrill opened the door with two portions of almond tofu, placed them on the table, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and gestured to Zhong Mo, who was still lying on the bed.
"Come and have a meal."
Zhong Mo jumped out of bed barefoot, his little feet pattering on the floor. Mandrill looked at it and thought that he needed to buy some things for children.
Zhongli doesn't know how to take care of children, so Mandrill is good at it? But since it's the emperor's request, Mandrill can only do it forcefully. Fortunately, Zhong Mo's body is the size of a young human, but his mind is not.
"Teacher, what is this? It's delicious!"
Zhong Mo picked up a spoonful of tofu with a spoon, put it in his mouth to taste, and then picked up another spoonful and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully. It was smooth and delicate in the mouth, with a sweet taste, and he finished a small spoonful with a slurp.
"This is almond tofu, the inn's signature dish. If you like it, I can ask them to make one. But you must promise me that you must finish it."
"No, no! One serving is enough! But I want to try other delicious things tomorrow."
"Of course you can."
"Teacher, why are you always so cold? And what is this mask? Also, is tea good for your health or wine? Are the boss and the shopkeeper the same person?"
Mandrill felt something was wrong, the humanity in Zhong Mo seemed too strong.
"Zhong Mo! Did you just connect to the ground of Wangshu Inn? Did you peek into the human thoughts of Wangshu Inn?"
"So this is called connecting ley lines? It feels so interesting!"
Mandrill took out the jade pendant Zhongli gave him and hung it around Zhong Mo's neck. As the jade pendant emitted a faint light, the dragon horns on Zhong Mo's head began to get smaller and finally disappeared, while various messages in Zhong Mo's eyes
It just started to fade away.
Mandrill took a deep breath, and he felt that his nightmare might not have been thousands of years ago, but had just begun now.
