The stars are sparse and the sky is cold. Dihuazhou is filled with the special fragrance of reed flowers at night. Water vapor rises from the lake. With the whistling evening breeze, black magpies occasionally fly across the starry sky, adding a sense of loneliness and coldness.
Only the brightly lit Wangshu Inn in the distance exudes warm light. If you look carefully, you can even hear the thumping sound of guests walking on the wooden corridor and the voice of the landlady calling for food in the wind.
"The scenery is so beautiful on a sunny day, and the red flowers are green grass. I happily run forward, walking all over the green mountains before I get old..."
On the lonely Dihua Island, Famas didn't care at all about the moisture in the lake. He happily waved his hands and walked forward, humming an incomprehensible song.
There was no other reason, just thinking that after tonight, Dadalia would sneak into the Golden House, steal the Heart of God, and trigger the Whirlpool Demon to bring disaster to Liyue, Famas felt particularly comfortable.
Along the desolate rocky path, the boy in red rushed leisurely to the place agreed upon by Ying and Zhongli.
Half an hour later, Famas arrived at the agreed upon location, which was a large tidal flat with reeds growing on it.
"Morax! I'm here, come out quickly!"
Famas folded his hands into a trumpet shape, put them to his mouth and shouted loudly.
The sound spread far away, and everything was quiet. There were only Famas' footsteps on the beach, the gentle sound of wind in my ears, and the low croaking of frogs.
At this time, Famas heard some unusual sounds in the wind, as if something was swaying and dancing.
The young man followed the sound and saw several elegant glazed lilies standing on the river bank. The blue petals were wrapped in purple receptacles. They were blooming slowly in time with his singing, revealing their white and soft inner parts.
Famas tilted his head. He remembered that if accompanied by beautiful singing, the glazed lily would grow especially lush.
Sure enough, her singing voice was not as unpleasant as Wendy said.
Famas looked at the blooming glazed lily. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently pinch the stem, trying to pull it over and take a closer look.
"stop!"
A low voice sounded behind Famas. The sudden sound startled Famas, and he added a little more strength to his hand. He felt a few drops of juice between his fingers, and he broke the flower just like that.
The young man turned around angrily. Just as he was about to see who was pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night, he met a pair of amber-like eyes.
By coincidence, the other party was Zhongli whom Famas had just called by the beach.
Mr. Zhong's dazzling golden pupils were still filled with silence and shock, as if he was feeling sorry for the glass lily that Famas had broken off.
In order to honor his old friend's legacy, Zhongli thought of many ways to cultivate glazed lilies. Although there were artificially cultivated flowers in the gardens of Yujingtai, the number of wild glazed lilies was always limited. Even if they were brought to Qunyu Pavilion, they would not be available. It is an extremely rare plant.
Throughout Liyue, Zhongli only found a few wild glazed lilies on this tidal flat. They were still in bud at that time. I don't know how they are growing now. It was the ceremony to send immortals, so he planned to bring the lilies with him. come and see.
The emperor, who was originally observing the growth of the glazed lily at the other end of the tidal flat, hurried over when he heard Famas's call. Unexpectedly, he was a step too late.
Dihuazhou is still as quiet as usual, with only a few fishing boats floating on the river in the distance.
Zhongli and Famas looked at each other, and the atmosphere was strangely silent. For a while, Famas was the first to be unable to bear the embarrassing scene, so he mobilized his divine power to try to connect the flowers back to the stems.
"Ahem, it's just a flower. I learned alchemy from Reindot, so it's very simple to take it back..."
The glazed lily in the young man's hand indeed bloomed extremely well, and the fragrance was overflowing. However, as the bright red divine power containing a violent aura appeared, in just a moment, the white glazed lily petals turned yellow and shrank, as if they had been completely drained of moisture. Eventually it turns into a brown dried flower state.
Famas subconsciously exerted force, and the withered flower broke into pieces and slipped from the palm of his hand into the mud of the beach.
The breeze in Dihuazhou blew quietly, making a whimpering sound, as if remembering the glass lily that had just passed away.
"Famas..."
Zhongli called out the other person's name with a cold expression, but everyone could hear the complex emotions contained in the calm words, which made Famas step back warily.
Glass lilies like water, light and singing, but as long as they are close to strife, they will become weak, dry and even yellow.
As a war lord from thousands of years ago, Famas had long been immersed in divine power with the terrifying aura of war. He wanted to rely on divine power to graft the glazed lily back, but naturally he could only harvest a bunch of withered petals.
Long before the Demon God War, in the era when immortals and mortals lived together in the vast Liyue Continent, glazed lilies once spread all over the fertile soil of Guiliyuan and Dihuazhou. At that time, this slender and beautiful flower was exactly what King Chen returned to. The ultimate favorite.
There is an ancient legend circulating among the people in Liyue:
In the era under the rule of Emperor Yan, the laws he enacted were cold and ruthless, but his ingenuity eventually brought exquisite instruments, beautiful paintings and sweet music to the first people of Guiliyuan.
In order to bring a happy life to the people, when the rules of rights and obligations are fulfilled, the Rock King will look at her with a solemn gaze, and at the same time, she will ultimately use her wisdom to bring hope and happiness to the fragile mortals.
In the era of two kings co-ruling, the glazed lily took root in this vast land.
The old people in Liyue like to tell a story. It is said that in that innocent era, one day, the always smart Gui suddenly had a naughty thought and covered the emperor's eyes with his hands. While she was smiling, she spilled the shining blue seeds from her long sleeves and scattered them on Guiliyuan.
Accompanied by the gentle laughter and poetry of the God-Kings, crystal clear, glass-like blue flowers began to bloom in the countryside.
The ancestors of the Liyue people once worked, rested, lived, loved, sang and played together in the bright and soft sea of flowers, while the gods they worshiped leisurely strolled among the glazed lilies, and the rock kings and emperors would listen to the dust belt. With childish and happy words, over time, even he began to gradually understand the joys, sorrows and joys of the mortal world.
He realized that there was also power hidden in accommodation and tolerance. Although it was lighter than the law, it was infinite.
But Famas knew that the legend about the Glazed Lily, which was born from the play between gods thousands of years ago, was probably just a romantic story.
Until now, Zhongli has not been able to fully understand the joys and sorrows of mortals, but he has only tried to feel the tremendous power those emotions can bring about.
However, it is irrefutable that the glazed lily is now on the verge of extinction.
The reason is undoubtedly the Demon God War thousands of years ago. Of course, it does not rule out the damage caused to this land by the Munata Expeditionary Force. During that war, these slender and innocent flowers also withered due to countless tragedies that happened to people. .
Next came the huge waves caused by the whirlpool demon Oser, which swallowed up everything in Guiliyuan, and the surviving people were forced to migrate to the current Liyue Port. The ancestors who perished in the Guiliyuan flood and melee were It stayed there forever.
Hundreds of years passed, and after the Demon God War ended, Zhongli replanted his old friend's favorite flower on the land of Liyue.
Now, one of the few surviving wild glazed lilies has been lost to Famas.
Definitely revenge!
