Jiang Bai followed Mandrill to an open environment.
“What do you do to feel the wind?”
"Hold on."
With Jiang Bai as the center, Mandrill laid out a magic circle on the spot, then placed a simple incense burner and inserted an incense stick.
Jiang Bai tilted his head to watch his operation, not understanding what he was doing.
Mandrill didn't give him too much explanation, just said: "This is a magic circle called the Nine Palaces Soul Transferring Array, which can make your consciousness temporarily leave the body."
The consciousness without physical protection is very fragile. Mandrill lit the incense in the incense burner. This is a kind of resurrecting incense that can protect the consciousness outside the body.
"I will guide you into a realm of wind. It's up to you how much you can feel before the incense burns out."
Jiang Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.
The mandrill's whole body lit up with blue-green light, which was the surge of immortal power.
The brilliance of the formation lit up one by one, and mysterious golden runes emerged one after another and entered Jiang Bai's body.
Jiang Bai stood in the middle of the formation and closed his eyes.
The wind is invisible and shadowless, but it blows through the green leaves on the treetops, drives the water waves on the lake, and lifts the hair beside the ears. In this way, you can feel the wind.
Jiang Bai was in a world of wind, and his body seemed to turn into the breeze.
His thoughts went away with the breeze, and he saw the breeze blowing the fisherman's sweatshirt, he saw the birds flapping their wings in the wind, and he saw the grass blades in the mountains swaying in the wind.
Suddenly, the breeze began to stir, and the wind became violent and turned into a strong wind.
The strong wind whipped up sand, gravel and dust, blew away the drying clothes, tore off the thatch from the roof, and swept away all the clouds in the sky.
Countless strong winds gathered, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
Hundreds of meters of waves arose on the sea surface, trees were uprooted, and the rubble of houses drifted in the wind like fallen leaves, following the will of the wind.
In the wind, Jiang Bai saw the wind and snow being blown away by strong winds coming from all directions, thousands of meters of mountains being reduced to flat ground by the wind, and hurricanes carrying huge rocks falling into the sea.
That was the power of the God of Wind that once relied on the wind to disperse the wind and snow and change the landscape of Mondstadt.
Jiang Bai had some understanding in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
His consciousness followed the wind and returned to where he was standing, and he opened his eyes.
The incense in the incense burner has burned out, leaving only a few ashes falling down.
He stretched out his hand, and a wisp of breeze circulated between his fingers. A slight chill came and disappeared as soon as he clenched his fist.
Mandrill crossed his chest with his hands, raised his eyes slightly, and asked without any emotion:
"how?"
"I can't describe it, but I can already distinguish some information brought by the wind."
Although I can't hear the conversation from the wind yet, I have to eat my food one bite at a time, and I can't expect to have the power of the God of Wind in one step.
"You have realized it." Mandrill nodded, quite satisfied.
Even though Jiang Bai's affinity for the wind element is not high, his understanding is not bad.
"Remember those feelings just now and fight tomorrow."
After saying that, Mandrill put away the things and disappeared.
Seeing Mandrill gone, Jiang Bai sat on the ground, slowly recalling the feeling of blending into the wind.
A wind ball slowly appeared in his hand, and the two winds kept rotating from two directions, converging into a ball in his hand like the yin and yang diagram of Tai Chi.
Jiang Bai controlled the balance of the wind ball, and then with a flick of his finger, the wind ball shot towards the rocks not far away.
The moment it touched the gravel, the balance in the wind ball was instantly broken and turned into a violent wind explosion.
Suddenly, dust was flying everywhere and gravel was flying.
"This move is very powerful, comparable to the wind element bullets fired by Bai Yuan." Jiang Bai was quite satisfied.
Jiang Bai gathered a large number of wind elements and concentrated them on the soles of his feet, achieving a brief floating in the air.
At first, the control was a little difficult and it was difficult to master the balance, but as the number of falls increased, Jiang Bai gradually became more comfortable and was able to control the surge of the wind to fly in different directions.
Although he is still not able to walk in the air like a mandrill, it will only be a matter of time before he can reach that point with more exercise.
Jiang Bai spent this day in constant practice and experimentation.
Jiang Bai was in a happy mood and picked a few mint plants and slime condensate on the roadside. When he returned to Wangshu Inn, he borrowed the kitchen to make mint jelly for Mandrill.
Mint jelly was served on the table, and Mandrill sat next to it.
After pouring mint-flavored juice, Jiang Bai was in a great mood and took him to chat.
With the emperor's face, and Jiang Bai being shameless, he was not afraid of Mandrill's cold face at all, so Mandrill could only sit down to eat with him and listen to his chat.
"Mandrill, how old are you?"
Jiang Bai is really curious about Mandrill's age. Mandrill looks like a teenager and is relatively short, but he doesn't know how many years his true age is.
"I'm not sure of the specific number of more than two thousand years since I was born."
"Not sure? Why not sure?"
"For me, my birthday is just an ordinary day, so I won't go out of my way to remember it."
Mandrill didn't talk much. Even if Jiang Baiying asked him to talk, he was quite taciturn.
"Even if you don't remember it, you should be able to calculate it according to the chronological calendar, right?"
Mandrill was very puzzled by Jiang Bai's attitude of asking for the bottom line, "Is this a very important thing?"
"Is it important or not? I will make you a cake for your birthday. What if there are too few candles?"
elf:"."
Even though he doesn't pay much attention to mortal affairs, he still knows some common sense.
No cake can hold more than two thousand candles.
"It's not necessary." Mandrill coldly rejected Jiang Bai's plan to celebrate his birthday.
Jiang Bai ignored Mandrill's words. Is it his own decision whether to celebrate his birthday or not?
Jiang Bai originally planned to ask him when his birthday was, but looking at his attitude, he probably didn't bother to ask Mandrill.
Ask Zhongli when you get back, he will definitely know.
"By the way, how did you follow the emperor?"
"I was once enslaved by the evil god. The emperor rescued me from his clutches and gave me the name [Mrill]. Since then, I have made a contract with the emperor to protect Liyue and have never slackened for thousands of years."
"So that's it." Jiang Bai nodded, "But as far as I know, the contract should have ended. You don't have to stay at Wangshu Inn all the time. You can come to visit us at the Rebirth Hall occasionally. Staying here is not boring.
?”
"Bored? That's an emotion only you humans can have."
"Okay. If you don't want to go, then we can come find you."
elf:"."
Mandrill's eyes were slightly lowered, and his voice was cold, "When the teaching is over, you should leave here. Don't come to me often, and don't hinder me. If you don't want to get into trouble, just stay away from me."
"Why?"
Jiang Bai tilted his head, not afraid of the cold aura exuded by Mandrill.
"The power of the devil is huge. Even if he dies, his hatred and obsession are very unstoppable. I kill these filth that are born from filth. The resentment of the devil is polluting my spirit all the time. Once it breaks out, you will become
