At the third watch of the day, several people stopped to rest, eat some food to replenish their strength, and feed the horses some water and fodder.
"Yesterday, I heard Teacher Ella mention Dadaupa Valley, which happens to be on the way to the snow-capped mountains. I kind of want to go and see it."
"Dadaupa Valley? Have you never been there?"
"I know this place, but I have never been inside."
As we all know, Dadaupa Valley is a gathering place for the Chuchu people, and an unknown number of Chuchu people live in it. As long as you are a normal person, you will not seek death in the lair of the Chuchu people.
Jiang Bai has not yet reached this level of leisure.
"Teacher Aila said that there are three Qiuqiu tribes there, and I am quite interested in the Heiren tribe among them."
Other Qiuqiu people are good at eating meat and sleeping well, but this tribe of Qiuqiu people is called the Hei Ri tribe, which is unusual at first sight.
However, the name of the Qiuqiu people's tribe was chosen by humans and was based on the differences among the Qiuqiu people. It is not surprising that it is called Black Sun.
What really concerned Jiang Bai was the "Black Sun" that these Qiuqiu people believed in.
Abedo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Jiang Bai's idea.
"I don't know much about this [Black Sun Clan]. I only know that this tribe appeared five hundred years ago, and there were no Qiuqiu people who believed in the Black Sun before."
"Five hundred years ago?" Jiang Bai always felt that the time five hundred years ago was very subtle.
His intuition told him that there might be some secrets here.
"Did something happen five hundred years ago?"
"A lot of things happened five hundred years ago, and the biggest thing among them was the demise of the ancient kingdom of Kanria."
"The ancient kingdom of Kanria?"
This was the first time Jiang Bai heard this name.
He knew about the Seven Kingdoms ruled by the Seven Gods, but Camrea seemed not to be among them.
"Yes. Kanria is a godless country, and her land is deep underground."
Albedo knows a lot about Camrea, after all, his creator Reindot is the chief alchemist of Camrea.
Although Reindot did not admit that he was her son, secretly, he wanted to call him his mother.
When he was born, Kanria had already perished, but during the days of studying and researching with his mother, her mother mentioned many things about Kanria.
"There is actually a country underground?" Jiang Bai was shocked.
He felt that some of his cognition had been broken again.
"But underground space is always limited. Without sunlight, how can crops grow? And without crops, where will food come from?"
In his understanding, the underground is at most a large cave, a great rift valley, or composed of multiple caves, and the stone walls that can be seen above the head are not likely to be very large.
In such a place, an ancient country was actually born!
"No, you are wrong." Abedo shook his head and looked at Jiang Bai curiously, "I feel that your understanding of the underground is different from ours. Can you tell me how you understand Teyvat?"
"emmmmm"
Jiang Bai thought for a while, found some soft sand, and used rock elements to condense a stone stick and draw circles on the sand.
"Do you know anything about the universe, the stars, and the planets?"
So far, he has not met anyone who has this knowledge. Sora may have, but they have not communicated about it.
Knowing that Jiang Bai was going to talk about knowledge that he had never understood before, Abedo asked Keli to play by herself and not go too far, squatting on the sand in front of her.
"My teacher once had an astrologer friend. According to the astrologer, the stars in the sky represent the constellation of human destiny, and the constellation of destiny is composed of several destiny stars. These countless destiny stars
Stars make up the starry sky we see."
Listening to Abedo's words, Jiang Bai blinked blankly.
What is the constellation of life? What is the star of life? Why does he suddenly feel so illiterate?
"You don't seem to know anything about this?"
"That's right." Jiang Bai nodded, but then he had more doubts.
"So what does the Seat of Fate represent? If everyone in Teyvat has his own Seat of Fate, what is your Seat of Fate?"
"The seat of destiny determines destiny. My seat of destiny is [Child of Chalk]."
Abedo used tree branches to draw the Child of Chalk's seat of destiny on the sand. Although it was just a line connected by a few stars, Abedo expanded outside the line and drew a pattern similar to a baby in a bottle.
Jiang Bai looked at it, and it looked a bit like the constellation in his mind.
It’s just that this baby in a bottle looks a little special. “Does this have any special meaning?”
"You know, I am the product of alchemy. Alchemy has four processes: black soil, chalk, red, and gold."
As he learned more and more about Jiang Bai's secrets, Abedo also reciprocated and told him a lot about himself.
To a certain extent, their relationship is much better than that of ordinary people. After all, they have achieved the achievement of [Secret Sharer].
"Black soil is the etymology of alchemy and the initial state. Chalk is the beginning of change, removing impurities. Red soil is refining."
"[Gold] is the final stage of alchemy. Valueless things finally find their own meaning and become gold."
Abedo grabbed a handful of sand and demonstrated it to Jiang Bai while describing the four processes of alchemy.
After he finished speaking, the sand in his hand turned into gold.
"My master is called [Gold]. After I left the master, I was given the title [Son of Chalk] by my master. From then on, Son of Chalk became the seat of my destiny."
Picking up the shiny gold from Abedo's hand, Jiang Bai squeezed it hard, and after confirming that it had really turned into gold, he put it into his pocket in front of Abedo.
Although gold is not the equivalent of a commodity here, it is still very valuable because of its glittering glory.
"Will the seat of fate still change?"
"I have no idea."
Abedo looked up at the sky. It was not dark yet and the starry sky was hidden under the brilliance of the sun.
"My master once told me that the starry sky we are seeing now is false."
"False?" Jiang Bai was even more confused.
Even the sky is false, why is this world so evil?
"I don't know either." Abedo showed a slightly helpless smile.
"Before my master left, the last topic he gave me was [Showing the truth of the world and the meaning of the world]. But I have not made much progress. After meeting you and Sora, I think this topic should make a big step forward.
step."
"I don't know how to do research, but if I can help, I will definitely help. Let's get back to the topic." Jiang Bai brought the topic back.
We were obviously talking about our knowledge of the universe and the stars, but the topic turned to the constellation of fate.
