[Original God_Zhong Li's personal orientation] Changhe

Ke Qing from Xiangsheng Hall stroked his earring, shook his head, and the earring became quiet, no different from usual.Then he raised his hand, tapped it three times in different directions, and said, "Aozang Mountain, Huaguang Forest, and Hulao Mountain."

Finally, pointing to the foot, "Qing Yunding."

Accompanied by his movements, the cloud and mist dissipated again, melting like snow under the sun.

The tall mountain peaks cut corners and drilled out of the mist, and the trees above were still covered with dew from last night.The lake with soft light is also in the distance, and the golden ginkgo covers the half of the mountain.

Zhong Li stood at the highest point of Qingyunding, as if he was looking at a further place, Fang Yuan Chong'a Sanzuo, towering and unattainable, kowtowed to him alone.

Ordinary people can't see here, the gods are with Qingyun, the ancient stone kites and dier fish flutter their wings in the sea of ​​clouds and mist, let the three mountains kowtow.

"Where do you want to go?" Qingyunding is the highest place that can be reached, I asked.In some respects, I have been able to ignore this guest's fairy tricks, hey, isn't it just space transfer, he looks very good at first sight.I will no longer ask why I was in Jueyunjian one moment and Qingyunding in the next.

After all I asked.

I asked about it in Luhuachi, and he replied very seriously at that time: "That's how it is done."

"Then you must be able to span the entire Liyue in two or three steps!" I said with a laugh.

He shook his head. "I prefer to walk slowly."

"Naturally, I will go to the Cloud End Highland to take a look," Ke Qing turned around, with a familiar smile on his face, "It's just a pity that the story of last night was too long to let you see the best sunrise. Cloud End The sunrise above is the best thing to see.”

"But I know there is a beautiful sunrise in Liyue. If you go to Liyue, I can take you to see it as compensation." He mentioned Liyue again.

"Mister is so attached to Liyue, why did you go to such a far place?" I asked him.

He put one hand next to the bird and beast statue in Qingyunding, pressed the platform, touched his chin, thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, so I came out to have a good time."

Zhongli paused for a moment, and said: "Come out to play, go back when you've had enough fun, and go back to do business." After he said this, he laughed twice.

The young man pressed down hard, and the amber-like rock elements gathered under his palm, and he kneaded them into the statue together.

When the mechanism was turned on, rocks appeared around them, they were suspended in the air, they were the floating stones created by the former rock king emperor.

Ke Qing walked up slowly with his hands hanging by his side.

The Haohao high wind blew up his robe, causing the tassels from the earrings to fly.Those dragon scale patterns entrenched on the hem of the clothes are like a dragon swimming.

The bright golden elements are the cornerstone of Liyue Land.The remaining rock elements are blown up by the wind, forming long erratic rivers.

"Come on," he held out a hand, "and look higher up."

The river of rock elements ran through his fingers, through his arms, and pressed against his eyes.Those golden eyes blinked a few times.

A touch of crimson is carving jade.

So the people who traveled with him took the help and ascended to the sky with him.

The fellow traveler knows that there is a story to be told by the other party in a higher place, which may be longer or longer.

At least until the end of this story, I was his listener.

A shade was built in the Land of Floating Life, and a small case was placed in front of it, on which were half volumes of unclosed books.

It is clearly above the blue sky, but there is not even a wind here.Everything is as solid as a rock.

"In life, return to separation, return to separation, take advantage of a floating life to escape floating life." I turned a page and read.

"Some immortals avoid the world, so they have no plan to return," Zhong Li sat aside, "while some immortals keep coming out of the world, coming and going again and again."

"Are you looking forward to something?" I asked.

"Maybe I just want to go back and have a look, but I can't see the same scenery as in my memory." He smiled lightly and looked into the distance of the floating world. "A long time ago, the wine I drank with my friends...was Has the climate changed? The taste of the past may never be reproduced again."

"Is such an expectation useless to a sage?" I closed the book.Perhaps decades ago, hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago, there used to be a fairy sitting here. The fairy was in the cleanest place in Liyue, but he was thinking of the noisy market, thinking of a certain year and month in the past. One day, the people He met.

"People who have lived too long can only search for the comrades in arms and the scenery of the past in their memories," Zhong Li put his hands on his knees, "Don't regret having this kind of expectation, it is enough. People who live a long time , I will remember the past. So I will not regret that I met you once."

"If one day we have to say goodbye, those who are remembered will also shine like gold in the memory." His earrings swayed gently.

Will the gods of the past know?Liyue will remember him.

People are insignificant, they are "all living beings".

All living beings will not forget, all living beings will never forget.

In this land of walking with the gods, the gods once measured the earth with their feet.

People will remember because the mountains are you, the rocks are you, and the valleys are you.

The money circulating in the market is the flesh and blood of gods, and the guns in the hands of the Qianyan army are cut from solid rock slices, and together with the land on which they stand, and the balance that supports the sky, they will all be remembered.

He put his hands flat.

During the journey, I never saw Zhongli take off his gloves.

Zhongli continued in a slow voice: "However, there are probably some things that people are born to forget. We forget troublesome things, we forget cumbersome customs, and we also forget things that are unnecessary... such as death, such as homeland, such as gods .”

"Those things that were wrong will also be forgotten, and people will gradually move in the right direction. Day after day, generation after generation, they just walk slowly on the land of Liyue."

He took off his gloves, exposing his hands.

"I walk in this world as a mortal Zhongli, and I will also practice Liyue's tradition as a mortal." With hands like many others, fingers slightly curled up, "The company along the way, before the end of the journey, I won't say thank you."

"Mortal people don't remember so many things," I said.

He laughed and replied, "Hey... a good memory is not a good thing."

With Ke Qing's back leaning back, he was more relaxed than usual.

He took off his robe and put it on his knees, covering his hands.

"Let's tell some stories about the past," Zhong Li looked over, "You..."

I quickly said, "Here, it's in the bag, and I'll take out the ones for making tea right away."

"Yeah... Where do I start..." He leaned his head against the side, thinking with his eyes closed.The deep red was like the shadow falling from his eyelashes. When he opened his eyes, Jin Po was extremely cold and glowing.

I am reminded of the story of the stone amber, those magnificent stones called "the heart of the rock".

Ke Qing had a pair of stone-like eyes, and he looked over.At a certain moment, I was thinking that he himself was like the heart of a rock, beating "bang bang" in this world...

When the emperor was measuring the land of Liyue, he walked past a place and heard a certain sound.

It was a tiny sound coming from the deep, deep ground.

The god of rock touches the earth to bend down to listen, those broken, faint, urgent voices.

"I want to see the sun..." Zhongli said, "a strange-shaped stone was dug out by the emperor. This stone said that he wanted to see the sun."

When the black clouds enveloped Liyue, some people tried to watch the sun break through the clouds.

"So Dijun nodded his eyes for it, and gave him a pair of eyes that can see the world."

"As a contract, there are three chapters. Lord Yan promised him to live with the people on the ground, but if one day he destroys the order, he will be sealed into darkness again. From then on, the dragon will always accompany Lord Yan, and accompany him to fight north and south."

"You can hear these stories from Liyue's storyteller." Zhongli said lightly.

"The Dragon King Ruo Tuo was originally a close friend and comrade-in-arms of the rock god Morax, and his lifespan far exceeds that of human beings. However, the derivatives of the earth are like the rocks on the ground, and the memory of the rocks is not long. Only extremely strong emotions can remain in them. The longer the time , the memory gets blurred. He starts to wear out."

"You once answered me... No matter how hot the blood is, it will cool down after a thousand years; no matter how hard the soul is, it will fade after ten thousand years." He removed his robe and exposed his hands, "That's right."

He began to have palm lines, just like a rock has experienced vicissitudes and began to embrace the stone lines.

Those are the fissures, the "fade".

"The wear and tear took away the thinking of the Dragon King Ruotuo, and he gradually couldn't recall the face of his old friend, and he couldn't remember the Liyue Port that he had personally guarded. The original Dragon King became irritable and aggressive... In addition, people mined Ore, destroy the leylines."

"No matter how much you struggle, how you resist, how you wear and tear...they are all marks left by the years flowing through the rocks."

"Even if Morax had allocated some of his strength to help him, it would be of no use."

Zhong Li got up and walked to the edge of the floating stone.

"From Hulao Mountain to Nantianmen..." he said softly, "Dragon's blood was spilled all the way. Thousands of years later, those places are covered with golden flowers."

His hands have changed their appearance, the arms, wrists, and palms hidden under the clothes are all pure black rock-like substances.

There were golden cracks all over his palm, and one crack spread all the way to his arm.

"Hulao Mountain..." Zhong Li looked over there, "It's the place you want to go."

"The rest of the road is my own journey." He stroked his earrings.The cloud whale in the high sky sang a deep song, and the roar of the mountains and rocks echoed in the blue clouds.

"And after the wear..." I asked.Just like several times before, I asked him, the ending of those stories is the same.

"Yeah," he didn't look back, looking in Liyue's direction, "at the end of the wear and tear, the gods may turn into the highest mountain peaks, the mountains will support Liyue's sky, or maybe... they will be like those stubborn rocks Dreaming, thinking about looking at the moon again."

"Hmm... Now, is the tea ready? Please pass it to me." Zhong Li turned his head and said.

The author has something to say:

For the meaning of the phrase "look at the moon", you can read the in-game book "Moon Night in the Bamboo Forest"

Because the moon is not the moon now

So the sky in Tivat may be a fake sky

There is a saying that the emperor stands on the balance of the sky and lifts up the sky of Liyue

That's why Yixiao Daotianzhenjun will desperately cut off the antlers to prop up the Tianheng Mountain that is about to fall

This is why

I often write: The end of the rock king's wear and tear will turn into the highest mountain, supporting the sky of Liyue
