Bai Luo only felt that his eyes went dark, and the surroundings began to become gloomy and cold.
“Tick-tock…”
The sound of dripping water was heard and echoed far away in the empty cave.
Also echoing here was Wang Ping'an's pig-slaughtering wail.
"Stop yelling, we're back."
Bai Luo gently pulled his fingers, and the steel wire that was originally wrapped around the other person fell off and was taken back by Bai Luo.
Wang Pingan then closed his mouth with a little embarrassment.
After feeling his body and making sure that he had no missing parts, he carefully approached Bai Luo.
"Immortal... Immortal, that..."
"If you want to leave, leave now. I don't want to bother with your business."
Bai Luo seemed to see through Wang Ping'an's thoughts. He waved his hand casually and sent him away.
Next, he looked at the unconscious Monkey King.
It's time to deal with him.
Walking and watching the tides turn,
Sit and watch the clouds roll in and out.
Please go to Lingxiao,
Look at this in the clouds.
Everyone says that on a mountaintop somewhere in Jueyunjian, among the clouds, mountains and fog, there is a residence of immortals hidden. Many herbalists in Liyue have seen the sight of the immortals' palace.
But in the opinion of Ms. Alice, the great adventurer of the worlds, these guys probably just ate too many strange mushrooms.
Because in Xumi, as long as you eat the strange mushrooms, you can see not only the immortal palace, but even gods.
But even so, there are still many people who go up the mountain every day to seek immortality and ask for advice.
For example... ... this young man in black seems to be carrying a teenager on his back.
“Huh…”
Wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, Bai Luo raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain.
Apart from the time when he accompanied Qiqi to collect herbs, this was the first time he climbed up to Jueyunjian with his bare hands.
Normally, it is transmitted via quantization in a flash.
Well... ...that's provided that Zhongli won't cause him trouble.
Otherwise, he would never dare to look for the other party during the quantum cooling period.
Originally, when he returned to Liyue this time, he planned to use quantum teleportation to go directly to Zhongli.
After all, he didn't come here to cause trouble this time, but to return the Dichen Bell and help report safety.
After finishing his work, he decided to help Yin make his presence felt in front of Zhongli.
No matter what, as long as Zhongli and the immortals in Jueyunjian knew of Yin's existence, even if Yin could no longer stay in Mondstadt, he could bring Pianpianhua, Shamaomao and others to Liyue for help.
At least now that the immortals know that it was Yin who saved Chong Chong, they will definitely help her with all their strength.
But his quantum teleportation could not bring the people around him along, so he could only choose this method of walking.
In fact, Bai Luo originally wanted to leave the Demon-Subduing Great Sage in the Wangshu Inn.
Bai Luo knew some details about Wangshu Inn, so he didn't worry about anything strange happening if he left him there.
But think about it... How can you visit a friend's house without bringing some gifts
He simply carried the Demon-Subduing Great Sage on his back and brought him to Jueyunjian.
As for what the gift is, isn’t it a great gift to see a great sage who has cleared his karma once again
“Help…Help!”
While walking on a mountain path, Bai Luo accidentally heard a voice similar to a cry for help coming from afar.
After hearing this voice, Bai Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, then looked in the direction where the cry for help came from, and decisively chose the latter.
Is Bai Luo a good person
This is an issue we often discuss together.
But no matter which time, we will have the same answer - no.
So he definitely didn't go there to save anyone.
As an actor, Bai Luo had acted in many plays in order to fulfill his tasks before he became an executive.
There are many tricks like the carriage breaking down on the road, spraining one's ankle on a snowy day, or accidentally falling into a snow pit.
So the moment he heard the cry for help, Bai Luo had already determined that the cry for help was fake.
The man shouted loudly and with full force, without any panic in his voice.
Although there was a hint of crying in the cry for help, it was so fake and there was no authenticity at all.
If Bai Luo were asked to rate his acting skills... ...he would probably give him a one.
And this point was given because he shouted louder.
After reading this, I think everyone understands why Bai Luo ran over, right
As a person who loves fun, Bai Luo keenly smelled the potential fun in it.
How could he miss this opportunity
The most important thing is that he was also a little curious. Apart from those who came to seek immortals and ask for the way, few people came up to Jueyunjian.
Even if this person wanted to lure someone over by asking for help, who was he trying to lure over
Immortal
Have the people of Liyue gone to such lengths to become immortals
Following the direction of the sound, Bai Luo came to a pond.
Hiding behind the rocks, Bai Luo secretly took a look inside.
In the middle of a clear spring, a young man who looked to be in his twenties was desperately waving his hands, slapping the water surface, looking like he was about to drown.
But Bai Luo just took a look and couldn't help but complain.
If you want to act out a drowning scene, you should at least choose a suitable body of water, right
The spring water is only up to the waist. Even if you squat down, you can still stick your head out. Are you kidding me
Chapter 788: Tide's Immortal Journey
Many people don’t understand why the people of Liyue are so crazy about the matter of immortal fate.
Including the Sumeru people.
In order to study why the Liyue people are so obsessed with immortal fate, the Xumi people even developed a discipline for this purpose.
After several years of hard work and billions of Moras spent, the Causalists, who studied the history of this culture, came to a conclusion.
Just having nothing to do.
This research result was even recorded in the thick book "A Detailed Account of 300 Years of Xumi".
It was not until recent years when "Sketches of Reeds" became popular that this school, which was based on the Sravasti Academy and regarded defense, language, and writing as the core and essence of the world, shifted its research direction again.
According to their investigation, the Liyue people's pursuit of immortality can be traced back to the time before Liyue City was built. However, ordinary people at that time did not seek immortality for longevity, but only to have enough food to eat and seek peace.
But now everyone has enough food to eat and is enjoying peace under the protection of the Seven Stars.
Then they began to pursue the so-called immortality.
For the so-called chance to become immortal, they would even rather spend all their fortunes to take some elixirs whose principles even the alchemists themselves cannot understand, and eventually die.
There are also people who wander in the mountains all day long, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, and are accompanied by monsters every day, just to catch a glimpse of the fairy's face.
But even so, it is difficult for them to meet the immortal.
However, among the small group of immortal visitors in Liyue, one or two gossip messages about encounters with immortals would occasionally be circulated.
Usually someone is in dire straits somewhere, and at the critical moment, an ethereal white-haired fairy arrives and saves him from the dire straits.
These stories were later heard by storytellers and adapted into various jokes, but most of them were clichéd plots that were so beautiful and intoxicating that they were intoxicating.
Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, such passages are just like the car accidents, cancers, and vegetative states in romance dramas, which make people not even want to take a second look.
But in Liyue, not everyone likes to hear the story of the Geo King killing everyone.
Some young girls and hot-blooded young men are more fond of this kind of romance story.
I even fantasized from time to time that I would meet an immortal or a fairy by the water pond, peek at them or be peeped at while they were bathing, and then live a shameless life.
Some people just think about it in their hearts and dare not actually blaspheme the immortals.
But some people who fantasize too much will really believe the storyteller's words and choose to go up the mountain alone to try their luck at the illusory immortal fate.
For example, this sailor named Tide.
As a sailor who works with the sea, he is not so much yearning for the so-called immortal fate as it is yearning for the fairies in the mountains.
It looks like a light cloud covering the moon, and it floats like snowflakes blown by the wind.
Just listening to the words used by the storyteller to describe her, even his beloved Sisi didn't seem so fragrant anymore.
So after listening to the story several more times, he relied on the courage he had gained on the sea and quietly went up to Jueyunjian. He wanted to direct and act out a scene of a beauty saving the "hero" just like the plot in the storyteller's story.
In order to increase the success rate of the scene of encountering fairies, he also made a special statistics of the so-called desperate situations in the storytellers' stories.
Including falling off a cliff, falling into water, encountering monsters on the road... ... and dozens of other situations.
But Chao Xi just wanted to catch a glimpse of the fairy and didn't want to die in this wilderness.
After much thought, he chose a desperate situation that was particularly suitable for his profession as a sailor - falling into the water.
Anyway, he can swim, so even if the immortal doesn't show up in the end, he won't drown.
After deliberately choosing a spring that would not drown him, Chao Xi took a deep breath.
"Forgive me, Cui'er. This is the last time. I just want to see her beauty. I have absolutely no other thoughts."
Hmm? Are you asking if I wrote it wrong
It was Sisi just now, why did she become Cui'er now
Who knows, maybe after a while, the name of a third woman will pop up in his mouth.
Maybe it's Inazuma's, or maybe it's Sumire's.
Even in winter it is not impossible.
After making up his mind, Chao Xi jumped into the waist-deep mountain spring water without hesitation and began to imitate the act of drowning.
As a sailor, he had seen many people drown.
So even though Bai Luo was picky about the sound of his cry for help, he never belittled his performance when he was drowning.
But after more than ten minutes, there was no sign of any fairies arriving around, which made him vaguely regret doing so.
The spring water in the mountains is different from the sea water in the ocean.
Compared with sea water, mountain spring water is cooler. Even after just soaking for more than ten minutes, Tide has already started to shiver.
If it's any longer... I might get sick at night.
"How about we do this today and come back tomorrow?"
With his voice hoarse, Chao Xi looked around again with a disappointed expression on his face.
I can only say that he was overthinking it.
Although storytellers often talk about certain people encountering immortals in the clouds, in fact, among those who seek immortals, only a very small number of them actually encounter immortals.
Besides, the person they met might not necessarily be an immortal.
