"Boom!"
The earth-shaking sound spread very far, and the entire beach suddenly sank downwards. The traveler almost became unsteady due to the strong tremors, but the disc-shaped seal in the center of the circular ruins only cracked a few gaps.
Famas did not choose to continue the attack. Instead, he frowned and walked to the ruins and squatted down. He pressed the seal with his palm and felt it carefully before gritting his teeth and standing up, sighing with resentment.
"This seal is connected to the earth's veins with divine power. If nothing else, it is probably connected to the secret realm built by Heulia."
"It's not difficult to break open by force, but I'm afraid it will destroy the passage into the underground and bury the entrance to the secret realm."
"At that time, all the relics will be buried in the salt residue and will no longer exist."
The young man shook his head in disgust and lamented that Morax was thoughtful.
In order to prevent members of the treasure thief group and adventurers from excavating the ruins of the Salt God, this seemingly ordinary seal covers the entire leyline passage, making it impossible to dig a thief cave from the side.
"Then... let's eat first?"
"We can talk about the ruins of the Salt God later..."
Paimon tightly grasped the ribbon behind his sister's skirt and was willing to persuade Yu Ji.
The gun blade Famas had just plunged into the seal had been completely shattered, and the stone tablet directly in front of the seal had also disappeared. The river water gradually poured in from the subsided surface, and was about to submerge everyone's ankles.
The setting sun gradually disappears at the end of the mountain ridge, and night is about to fall. Experienced adventurers will set up tents and light bonfires at this moment to avoid being attacked by monsters at night.
After hearing Paimon's words, Famas also temporarily gave up the idea of attacking the seal. The three of them found a slightly higher slope under the tree near Salt of the Earth, set up a portable cooking boiler, and prepared to cook food.
Liyue's land is vast and the terrain is complex, and Liyue people love delicious food. Perhaps this portable cooking pot can embody these characteristics at the same time.
Using this device, you can prepare fresh dishes at any time, even if you are on a mountain peak among the clouds or on an island with salt in the earth.
The three travelers camped in the wild, and Zhongli, who was sorting out the sacrificial supplies in the Hall of Rebirth, also felt that the seal he had set was being attacked. He paused for a moment and turned his head to look in the direction of the Salt of the Earth.
"Mr. Zhongli?"
"Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
The little girl who was helping to put away the ritual utensils noticed Mr. Keqing's movements and asked in a slightly panicked voice.
"Well, no... all the utensils required for the ceremony are made in ancient times."
Zhongli withdrew his gaze from the Salt of the Earth, and comforted the Yiguan beside him with a gentle tone. The golden light shining in the boy's hole was gradually fading away.
"I'm really sorry. I just felt something in my heart. I was distracted by accident. It's not a big deal."
The waiter in the ferryman's uniform suddenly realized that this guest gentleman was a holder of the Eye of God and could innately see things that ordinary people like them could not see.
As the night got darker, after all the ceremonial supplies were counted and packed, the hostess respectfully said goodbye to Mr. Zhongli. Mr. Zhong also returned to the bedroom with the special Anshen Incense, preparing to entrust his dream to Qixing.
"I hope they can rest on time."
Zhongli sighed softly as he lit the incense.
At the same time, in the Yiyan Hall, Ningguang had just finished the meeting with the aristocratic family and was sitting in the side hall looking a little tired, taking advantage of the short gap after the meeting to review and approve various documents sent by the three secretaries.
The emperor's ceremony to send immortals is about to begin, and the road leading to half of the Jade Capital Terrace has been roughly repaired. Ningguang has also moved his office from the bustling General Affairs Department to the relatively complete Yiyan Palace.
This hall is located at the core of Yujing Terrace. It is paved with bright yellow glazed tiles, has multiple buildings and flying pavilions, and has an elegant shape.
This is not only the place where people worship King Yan, but also the place where the Seven Stars have respectfully requested King Yan’s oracle over the years. It is also the designated place for meetings of aristocratic families.
It is said that when Liyue was founded, the emperor had his office in the Yiyan Palace, and it was for this reason that the front of the palace was heavily guarded all year round.
Not far from the Yiyan Palace is the Liyue Secretariat and the Moon Sea Pavilion. Unfortunately, the pavilion that should have been set against the moon and the sea has been reduced to ruins, leaving only the closed foundations. Several side halls of the Yiyan Palace were also affected. Influence.
Since the death of the emperor, meetings of all sizes have been held in the Yiyan Palace without interruption, and the lights are on day and night. To this day, this place is still the frontline where major forces fight against each other, and it can be called the meat grinder of aristocratic families.
"Lord Ningguang, this is a document sent by Miss Ning Lan, the director of Yinyuan Hall. The underground salt mine mining has basically resumed."
"The Yinyuan Office hopes that the General Affairs Department can allocate more manpower to them for the construction of salt caves after the earthquake..."
】
Bai Xiao, who was wearing a Hunan red cheongsam, handed the document to Ningguang's desk and stated the issues raised in the document concisely.
"The staff of Yinyuan Hall are already enough, there is no need to add more labor in vain."
Ningguang frowned, quickly browsed the application documents of Yinyuan Hall, and rejected it without hesitation.
This Miss Ning Lan is not as honest as she appears. A long time ago, Yue Hai Pavilion planted a hidden line in the Eight Gates. It was reported that Ning Lan, the director of Yin Yuan Hall, was suspected of selling illegal salt to Xumi in exchange for some items that had not yet been included in the list. Import regulations for dangerous goods.
If Ninglan hadn't mastered salt-making skills very well and had extremely deep connections, Ningguang would have found someone to replace her.
Now that Liyue is employing people, where can there be any labor for her?
Baixiao took the document that Ningguang instructed with a red pen and hurriedly handed it over to the Yinyuan Hall courier who was waiting in the main hall.
"Alas, my Qunyu Pavilion..."
After Bai Xiao left, Ning Guang sighed quietly.
After defeating the whirlpool demon Osel, the power center "Qunyu Pavilion" that originally belonged to Ningguang has been buried deep under the sea along with many Guyun's old dreams.
Although the daily maintenance and upkeep of Yiyan Palace is done well, the facilities are all available, and the decoration is full of antiques, gorgeous and elegant style, Ningguang still feels uncomfortable.
When you are here, standing on the top floor of the palace at night and looking into the wind, you will inevitably think of Emperor Yanwang overlooking the entire Liyue Port like this.
Ningguang, who knew almost all the secrets of Liyue, knew that in the hundreds of years after the completion of the Yiyan Palace, in addition to the rituals of inviting immortals over the years, the emperor would occasionally transform into various mortal forms to visit this place. He stayed for a few nights in his "family home" and brought back some antique objects that had come from mysterious places.
Therefore, every furnishing in Yiyan Hall may be related to the emperor, but since the emperor has passed away, the origin of many furnishings is no longer known.
To be cautious, Ningguang only borrowed a few side rooms with simple furnishings for office work and meetings, and other items were sealed on the spot, ready to be disposed of after the reconstruction of Yuehai Pavilion began.
Yiyan Palace has entrusted the admiration and memory of too many people in Liyue, so if you want to dispose of it, you need an appropriate excuse.
Most of the problems in the era of human rule are like this. Because there is no precedent to follow, everything needs to be done by oneself.
After losing the emperor's oracle, many issues required the various forces in Liyue to coordinate their interests and come up with regulations approved by the majority of people.
It's just that it's easy to make a charter, but it's hard to satisfy everyone.
It is precisely for this reason that in just a few days, Ningguang has hosted hundreds of meetings in Yiyan Palace. Under such pressure, even the mentally tough Lord Tianquan was exhausted physically and mentally.
After sending Baixiao away, Ningguang was just about to take a break during the meeting when Baiwen walked in again, followed by Beidou, the eldest sister of the Southern Cross Fleet.
