Qingcezhuang is a village located in the northernmost part of Liyue, hidden between hills and bamboo forests. The white cloud-shrouded valley is dotted with rows of half-moon-shaped terraces. When the mountain wind blows, you can see layers of colorful waves.
Different from the bustling commercial port, life in Qingcezhuang is quiet and leisurely. Here, the flow of time seems to be much slower.
Sit next to the waterwheel, listen to the gurgling water, the whisper of the breeze, and watch the sun rise and the moon set, and the mist color the sky.
According to Xingqiu, when young people working in Liyue Port, whether they are local or from afar, whenever they talk about their days after they grow old, eight to nine out of ten will say that they will wait for them. When I get older, I buy a field in Qingce Village, stay away from the hustle and bustle, and live a leisurely old age life.
Before entering the village, you have to walk through a winding stone road. There is a lush bamboo forest planted on one side of the stone road. The bamboo leaves rustle with the wind, which is particularly deep. There are also some new bamboo shoots that have just poked their heads out. On the other side is a steep stone wall.
Famas took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air after the rain into his lungs.
On the path, there were only Famas and Xingqiu, whom he had just met.
"Although storytellers in Liyue all tell stories about the cruelty and indifference of this tyrant, I think shrinking all residents into the castle is a last resort if the plague is to be contained."
"In the face of foreign enemies, if all the people join the army, they will certainly be despised, but if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, there is no other way."
"...So, maybe this unnamed tyrant of Munata is a good person?"
On the way to Qingce Village, Famas started by saying that the residents of Liyue had misunderstandings about the tyrant of Munata, which immediately made Xingqiu start talking, and he kept reading what he had read. Comparing Famas in ancient books with Munata's situation at that time, it coincidentally explains the purpose of Famas's original behavior.
Finally, someone can analyze part of the truth at that time.
Famas had a gratified smile on his face, but he heard the footsteps behind him stagnant. The boy in red turned his head to look at Xingqiu, and found that he frowned and looked a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?"
Famas asked a little strangely, wasn't this a good conversation, why did it stop suddenly.
"I feel the monster's presence."
Xingqiu made a decision quickly and said to Famas: "I'm going to take a look. You go forward along this road. There is a door at the end of the road. You can wait for me there."
Xingqiu dodged and climbed up the cliff of Qingce Village.
Famas originally wanted to follow him, but then he thought about Xingqiu's ability, it should be easy to deal with several monsters.
I'm just wondering why I didn't feel the monster's breath, but Xingqiu sensed it earlier than him?
As I thought about moving forward, the stone road and the bamboo forest came to an end. It suddenly became clear that there was indeed a stone gate in front of me. After passing through the stone gate, I had a panoramic view of the scenery of Qingce Village, including waterfalls and suspension bridges, layers of terraces and scarecrows scattered among them. There are also undulating houses and slowly rotating waterwheels according to the terrain, as well as clouds and mist that have just emerged from the rain.
Famas waited by the stone gate, thinking that Xingqiu would come back to find him soon, but after waiting for a while, he found that the young man in the spring shirt was still not there.
The monster he didn't sense, the sudden departure of Xingqiu...
Famas had a bad premonition, waited for a few more minutes, and immediately flew towards the cliff where Xingqiu left.
Sure enough, in a cave on the cliff, Famas discovered an astonishing evil spirit.
Only because there was a black-yellow barrier protecting the cave, blocking the evil spirit from leaking out, Famas, who was focused on Xingqiu's analysis, failed to sense it in time.
Even if you don't know how old this cave is, you can tell from the astonishing growth of weeds and the dry passage that this is not a cave that was recently excavated.
And Xingqiu's footprints finally disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Famas's face turned cold, and he ducked into the barrier that blocked the evil spirit.
There was no light in the cave, but the evil eye on Famas' waist suddenly gave off a faint glow, and a horrifying scream suddenly came from the far side of the passage, and Famas stopped.
A chill came from his heart inexplicably, but the fire element around the boy in red began to stir.
"Is this... the evil spirit sealed by Morax?"
Famas directly pulled out the lava spear and cautiously explored the path forward. He first stepped on a soft object and looked down. Four or five people in blood-red clothes were lying there motionless. When he looked closer, he discovered that The red clothes are the clothes of the Fools stained red by blood. They all have several round wounds on their bodies. In addition to the unique rotten smell of the cave, the scarlet smell of blood, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke, there is also a strong smell around the body.
"Fools... evil eyes... evil spirits."
Famas poked the motionless corpses with his spear.
"The screams just now could be theirs..."
"Consistent with the power of the abyss, this power has strong penetrating power."
Feeling that some evil spirit was constantly eroding the fire elemental power around him, Famas hurried a little faster.
If his own strength has been eroded, wouldn't Xingqiu, who just entered here rashly, be in a dangerous situation now?
Famas quickly approached the corner where the screams came from, and the fire element aroused illuminated all corners of the cave.
Suddenly, a Thunder Hammer forward rushed out from around the corner. He swung the heavy hammer in his hand and struck Famas. The boy in red stepped back to avoid it.
"The Fools...are being controlled?"
Famas looked at the red-eyed Thunder Hammer forwards, who were attacking everything in the cave regardless of friend or foe. A flaming blade stabbed into the chest of the forward army, and the hot musket penetrated into the flesh and blood. Thunder Hammer immediately lost consciousness. Kneel down on the ground.
Famas quickly gathered his divine power on his left hand, shattered the armor of the forward soldier of Thunder Hammer with one tap, and then held his chest, intending to use his divine power to expel the abyssal aura from Thunder Hammer.
However, just when Famas's magical power just emerged, he was surprised to find that the vanguard of the Fools had no heartbeat. Even if he expelled the power of the abyss, he could not bring him back to life.
Before Famas had time to come up with a solution, the strong body of the forward soldier who was kneeling on the ground shriveled up strangely, and a large group of purple-black objects cheered and gathered above the body.
"Depth sea monster...that's what it is."
Famas suddenly realized.
During the Demon God War, war burned everywhere on the continent of Teyvat. Wars not only occur between demons and gods, but there are also countless evil beings trying to take advantage of the chaos to expand their territory.
There is a kind of monster among them that makes the "Demon God of Rock" who has not yet become the Seven Gods very annoyed.
These monsters come from the deep sea. They have soft skin and scales. They have dexterous arms and legs. They can survive even if their limbs are severed. They can also spit out sticky and wet liquid. The above characteristics are disgusting enough, but they are not the main point.
The point is that they are "small" and seem to be everywhere. Tables, chairs, benches, doors and windows, curtains and pleats, even teacups, books and pen holders.
As long as people stretch out their hands, they are likely to touch something cold, sticky, and wet. These monsters will rustle up the back of the hand, leaving a bright trail wherever they pass.
These are their eggs.
After being prayed by the ancestors of Liyue, Morax promised them to destroy this monster. However, for the monsters parasitic in human society, Morax would never throw countless stone spears and smash the earth together like he did on the battlefield. However, Morax is the "God of Contract" in later generations.
The prayer he agreed to would be fulfilled no matter what, and his sense of responsibility drove him to manipulate large and small rock prisons to pull these monsters out of countless houses one after another.
At the end of the long extermination battle, Morax understood the meaning of the word "relief" for the first time. The extremely troublesome extermination and the disgusting-smelling slime of the aquatic monsters left a deep impression on him. The incarnation of Zhongli appeared in the form of a mortal. , even if I live in a port city, I still stay away from all living and squirming aquatic products.
The part that could not be destroyed back then seems to have been sealed here by Morax.
