This was the answer the Emperor gave her.
It means that the immortals in Jueyunjian have abilities that mortals can never imagine, but this method, called immortal magic, can only be used successfully by immortals with the ability of three eyes and five manifestations.
Mortals should just dream honestly and not think too much.
Let me digress a little here.
I have also found some of the so-called three eyes and five displays in the official settings.
The three eyes refer to the ability to manipulate elemental forces, and should refer to the Eye of God.
As for the Five Manifestations... ... I have only found the [Power of Exterior Scenery] used by Grandma Ping to create the Chen Ge Pot and the [Power of Moving Mountains and Filling the Sea] used by Emperor Yanwang. If anyone knows about this, please tell me about it in the comments.
Let’s get back to the topic.
It's not groundless that Ningguang suspects Bai Luo is an immortal.
The first thing Bai Luo did when he arrived in Liyue was to take over the Yanshang Tea House.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. On the surface, he wanted to take down this typical guy and make an example of him.
But if you dig deeper... ...some things are quite intriguing.
According to the information provided by Ye Lan, the talisman with no taboos that was circulated among the people happened to fall into the hands of the owner of Yanshang Tea House.
But before she could make a move, Bai Luo took the initiative to defeat the other party.
What’s even more bizarre is that after the incident was over, neither the Northland Bank nor the Liyue officials found the so-called “Hundred Taboos Free Talisman” among the items counted from the Yanshang Tea House.
So where did this thing go
The answer is obvious, it was definitely taken away by Bai Luo.
But so far, only the immortals have the right to take away the talisman of no taboos.
If that were all, she would just be suspicious and would not confirm it.
Because this kind of thing can at least be explained by coincidence or the Fatui's strong intelligence capabilities.
So what happened to Ye Lan
It is not difficult to see from Ye Lan's description that Bai Luo appears and disappears, sometimes he is a real person and sometimes he is a phantom, making it impossible to figure him out.
This was surprisingly consistent with the magic that the Emperor had once used on her.
And Bai Luo is of authentic Liyue descent.
It would be hard to describe this as a coincidence.
Plus the other information she had.
For example, when he was at Wangshu Inn, he seemed to be very familiar with the Yaksha Immortal there.
He knew the Yaksha's preferences and temper very clearly.
Her men also saw Bai Luo use abilities similar to those of the Yaksha Immortal in Wangshu Inn.
For example, he did not suffer any damage when falling from a high altitude, and disappeared inexplicably along with the Yaksha.
So... ... a bold guess came into her mind.
Perhaps in Liyue’s thousand-year history, there has been an unknown immortal.
That immortal is most likely one of the Emperor's disciples, and even has the shape of a dragon.
But because of something, this immortal and the emperor became enemies and left Liyue.
While traveling in the Seven Kingdoms, he joined the Fatui because of his hatred for Liyue, and with his immortal body, he achieved the position of executive officer of the Fatui.
In recent years, after hearing that the Emperor no longer continued to show his power in public, he thought that the Emperor might be on his last legs, so he returned to Liyue under the pretext of a mission.
Is it revenge? Or is it a search for roots
Ningguang didn't understand, but judging from the Emperor's current behavior, he should be feeling somewhat guilty about this wandering immortal.
As for why she thought so... it was entirely because of the little girl in the Wangsheng Hall, and the Emperor's attitude of condoning this guy's evil deeds in Liyue.
That is, after the Emperor showed his divine power at the border, he used magic to send a message to her in a dream, asking her to help arrange an identity for a new girl in the Wangsheng Hall.
She had asked the Emperor at that time what the relationship between this child and the Emperor was.
The emperor just sighed but didn't say much.
And every sigh that the old man took is a story.
If we add this information, it is easy to deduce what happened last night.
It must be that Bai Luo used magic to tease Ye Lan, and was happened to be sensed by the Emperor who was passing by.
Perhaps the Emperor wanted to see which immortal dared to use magic in Liyue, so he came to the door.
Unexpectedly, he met the disciple who broke with him a thousand years ago.
The two had a quarrel because of old things.
As a result, Bai Luo failed to control his own power and inadvertently affected ordinary people near Feiyunpo.
The Emperor did not plan to show up in public recently, so he simply protected the lives of the people nearby and did not directly take action to block Bai Luo's power.
After seeing Keqing coming with her men, he handed the matter over to Qixing to handle, while he continued to track down Bai Luo who was releasing magic somewhere.
Um
Although it was just her own deduction, Ningguang felt it was highly credible.
Because that's what she does best.
And it is with this ability that she has avoided many open and covert struggles in the business world, which has led to her current position of power.
However, deduction is just deduction after all. We should wait until the day when the Rock King appears in our dreams again, or at the ceremony of summoning the immortals in the near future, and then try to ask him indirectly to see if we can pry some old stories out of him.
"So, how should this matter be resolved?"
As one of the Seven Stars, Keqing understands Ningguang very well.
Watching her writing and drawing on the intelligence wall, stopping and nodding from time to time, he thought she should have figured it out, so he asked:
The most important thing now is how to accommodate those who are unconscious in Feiyunpo and the panicked residents outside Feiyunpo.
"It just so happens that the ceremony of inviting the immortals is approaching, and the emperor is taking a leisurely stroll in the mortal world and bestowing blessings. The strange noise is just the noise produced when the emperor is traveling between the immortal and mortal worlds. I will make the decision to give appropriate compensation to those who are affected."
Without taking her eyes off the information wall, Ningguang picked up the tea beside her and spoke out.
"Will anyone really believe this?"
Keqing promptly raised questions about this announcement which sounded a bit perfunctory.
Is it a bit rude to just brush it off in this way
"Whether they believe it or not, what we need to do now is not to give a suitable explanation, but to express our attitude. And compared with this matter, the other side is obviously more important."
"On the other hand?"
"Don't forget that the General Affairs Department is also in Feiyunpo."
"... ..."
Chapter 537 The Emperor Who Takes the Blame
The General Affairs Department can be said to be the most important place in Liyue.
Many of the working places of the Seven Stars and Eight Sects are gathered here. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the heart of Liyue.
If things here stop, the entire Liyue will be in danger.
Fortunately, Ningguang had already anticipated this possibility, so there is an emergency team outside of Feiyunpo. Although it is a bit difficult to completely replace the General Affairs Department to manage the entire Liyue, it should be more than enough to get through this difficult period.
One of the generals in particular, a sheep... He was worth ten men and only ate grass and not meat. He played a key role in this incident.
Now, I’m afraid Bai Luo will take the opportunity to cause trouble again.
In short, the matter of the strange noise at Feiyunpo was covered up in this way.
In addition to the few Seven Stars who were not affected, there was another person who cared about these matters.
Zhongli.
Although he was not at Feiyunpo last night, he could still hear clearly the strange noise that spread throughout Liyue Harbor.
To be honest, after living for more than 6,000 years, this was the first time he heard such a strange sound.
Although it sounds like there is a certain rhythm to it, isn't this rhythm too unpleasant
Even he, the calmest of the seven gods, was distracted by this rhythm.
What's even weirder is that when he tried carefully to identify the thing that made the sound, he couldn't tell what it was at all
Thousands of years of sedimentation, that's no joke.
Even so, he had no clue at all.
This reminded him of a BUG-like existence—Bai Luo.
This guy is definitely causing trouble.
"Have you heard? Qixing has issued a notice regarding the strange noise last night."
Because so many people were paying attention to this matter, it spread widely throughout Liyue.
Even Zhongli, who was drinking tea in the corner, was attracted.
In fact, he could no longer hold back and wanted to take action, but after seeing that the emergency team arranged by Qixing had taken effect, he simply lay dormant again, wanting to see how Qixing would handle it.
Well... it's also a test for them.
People on the road were quite surprised when they saw him.
Because apart from walking his bird and listening to opera, this gentleman is usually indifferent to such things.
It seems that when faced with major issues, even a strange man like him cannot sit still.
"Hey, Mr. Zhongli is also going to listen to the announcement of Qixing?"
"If you have nothing to do, it's good to listen."
"Mr. Zhongli's bird is great. What kind is it? Why does it look so fairy-like?"
"The mechanical bird of the immortals, found by chance."
Zhongli said, looking at the mechanical bird in the cage.
Although this thing was a product of the Fatui, after he asked Master Liuyun Jiefeng to modify it, its original appearance was no longer recognizable.
Especially the feathers on the outside. It is said that Master Liuyunjiefeng used his own previously shed feathers to stick them on. He looks like an immortal when he moves, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not from the mortal world.
Compared with a real bird, this thing lacks some soul but is more trendy.
Now the thrush of Mr. Wang next door and the lark of Mr. Zhang at the village entrance all pale in comparison to his mechanical bird.
Especially after adding the word "immortal", it became a hot commodity in the eyes of a group of old men.
This makes our Prince Yan very proud.
After arriving at Yujingtai, everyone waited quietly for the Qianyan Army to issue an announcement.
Compared to usual times, there are far fewer people here.
That’s right, after this incident, almost everyone in Feiyunpo fell into a coma and were sent to Mr. Bai for treatment.
It is said that an immortal must be asked to intervene.
Those who came here now were all people from outside Feiyunpo, or people who happened to have left Feiyunpo and survived.
The person standing on the stage was not the coach of the Qianyan Army as everyone remembered, but another man with a goatee.
Because the coach in charge here also fell into a coma due to what happened last night.
The one now is the coach in charge of eating at Huyan, and he is also an old acquaintance of everyone.
When the time was almost up, the coach, holding a spear, conveyed the Seven Stars' announcement in a very serious tone.
"Send the Seven Stars official announcement—"
"It is the time to invite the immortals. The Emperor is considerate of the people."
"So I wandered around the world and visited people incognito."
