"During the Demon God War, corpses littered the fields, lives were devastated, and infectious diseases spread everywhere. Many people were killed, and this plague continued to spread by using the dead as a breeding ground.
Later, someone discovered a way to stop the spread of the plague: purify the air and burn the corpses.
The first group of people who started to do this kind of thing were the [Palace of Rebirth]. As insignificant human beings, our ancestors spent a long time driving death back..."
"Were humans not protected by gods at that time?"
"Of course! It was the emperor who protected our ancient ancestors and defeated many demon gods, and that's how Liyue became today."
Speaking fluently, Hutao imitated the tone of the storyteller and recited the story she had heard since she was a child.
"At that time in Liyue, there were great demons intruding in the sea and evil creatures entrenched in the mountains. The Emperor Yanwang summoned all the immortals to restore a peaceful world to the world. Legend has it that the Emperor once said when he went on an expedition:
Although I have no intention of chasing deer, I know the suffering of the people, and I just want to clean up the four directions and protect a corner of the floating world..."
As Hu Tao spoke, her voice changed tone, becoming low and serious.
Jiang Bai listened carefully and gained a deeper understanding of the Rock King Emperor.
"Is it true that Emperor Yanwang is such a god?"
This sentence of "cleansing the four directions and protecting a corner of the floating world" is enough to show how benevolent this god is, and the current prosperity and peace in Liyue is also enough to show how great his achievements are.
Hearing the admiration in Jiang Bai's tone, Hutao raised her little face, proud.
Their emperor is the only one in heaven and on earth!
"Of course, I will find some books for you another day. There are many books about emperors in the study..."
The people of Liyue love to collect various objects related to the emperor, and she is no exception.
Her collection of various books about emperors from ancient times to the present is enough to fill a bookshelf!
"good"
Jiang Bai nodded, and his thoughts returned to the patterns of the ruins.
In this case, these ruins and ruins guards here should all belong to the same demon god.
With the defeat of the Demon God, those Demon God's people also passed away from generation to generation. With their passing, their former homeland turned into ruins.
And the demon god that the ruins guards believe in should be the one who is being suppressed by the rock god under their feet!
As for why he lives in a place where his god is suppressed, Jiang Bai can think of a lot of reasons with his fingers. There is no place on the continent, the place closest to his faith, and any attempt to make his god
Break free from the seal
Jiang Bai thought he had understood the truth, and he planned to discuss these insights with Mr. Zhongli when he went back.
Mr. Zhongli must be surprised by his keen observation!
The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the largest island in the middle.
"I don't know where the Phaseless Rock is, but you might be able to see it if you climb to the top of the mountain." Hutao pointed to the top of the mountain, which is the highest place around and presumably has a good view.
Instead of looking aimlessly, why not go up and take a look.
Without raising his head, Jiang Bai could see the high mountain top. The huge rock gun inserted into the deep sea in a diagonal manner. The inclined arc just gave a way to climb up.
From a distance, Jiang Bai could even see the remains of some buildings.
Obviously, in the long history of the past, there have been many buildings on it.
"good."
Jiang Bai had no objection. Hu Tao didn't even know where the Phaseless Rock was, and he didn't even know.
You can completely see the surrounding terrain when you climb up, and if you stand at a high place, the scenery should be very good too!
"Let's go!" Hutao cheered and ran forward first. The little ghost came out of her body and spun around happily.
"Master, are you in such good spirits?" Jiang Bai followed her and slowly climbed up the path up the mountain.
He manipulated too many rock pillars when he was fighting the ruins guard just now, which made him a little mentally exhausted.
"As the seventy-seventh generation master of the Rebirth Hall, the night watchman of the world of life and death, and the maintainer of the balance of yin and yang, it's not enough if you don't have good physical strength!"
Hu Tao turned around and made a face, "I just defeated a ruin guard and it's gone. Jiang Xiaobai, you need to train more!"
Jiang Bai's mouth twitched.
Jiang Xiaobai? What kind of strange name is this?
"Yes, yes, the hall master is right," Jiang Bai said nonchalantly.
He had only been exposed to elemental power for a short time, otherwise why would he be so tired from creating a few rock pillars?
Climbing halfway up the mountain, Hu Tao, who was happily moving forward, suddenly stopped, and his body quickly turned into an illusion. He teleported to Jiang Bai across a distance of more than ten meters, and pulled him to hide behind a big rock.
"What's wrong, Hall Master?" Jiang Bai looked confused.
Except at the funeral, this was the first time she saw Hu Tao looking so serious. Could it be that there was some danger ahead that she couldn't handle?
"Danger ahead! There are three abyss mages!"
If you encounter one and it's easy to deal with it, but if three of them appear together and their colors are complementary in attributes, it will be very difficult to deal with them.
"Abyss Mage?" This is the first time Jiang Bai has heard of this kind of monster, and the name seems very difficult to deal with.
He carefully poked his head out from behind the stone, and sure enough he saw three figures dancing around the torch.
These abyss mages have human-like bodies, but are much smaller. They have two long ears, and their faces are either like this or wearing masks. This mask-like thing is in the shape of a bird's beak, and the eyes are opened in two places.
A hole revealed the pure color pupils.
They were also wearing human clothes with patterns engraved on them, but they were too far away and Jiang Bai couldn't see clearly what patterns were on them.
Each abyss mage holds a staff in his hand that represents his own attributes. Presumably, he uses the staff to induce elemental power to attack.
"The red one is the fire abyss mage, the blue one is the water abyss mage, and the light blue one is the ice abyss mage." Hu Tao poked his head out and introduced Jiang Bai.
"When they sense the enemy, they will instantly summon a shield to protect themselves, and they can also perform short-distance teleportation. If they are accidentally attacked by the Water Abyss Mage, and then attacked by the Ice Abyss Mage, it will be easy.
Being frozen and temporarily incapacitated is tricky."
"Not only that, they will also cooperate. If they cannot break their shield and kill them quickly, they will summon the shield again."
"It's really tricky."
Although it was a bit tricky, these monsters were blocking their way, and they couldn't stop moving forward just because of this.
"Lord, what should we do?" Jiang Bai had no experience in dealing with this kind of monster, so he naturally wanted to ask Hu Tao for advice.
