Zhongli just shook his head, "Maybe. Our guesses are meaningless now. When you get to Xumi, these questions will naturally be answered.
"Remember to come back and tell me when the time comes. I'm also curious about what's going on with Sumeru's little Lucky Grass King now."
Jiang Bai nodded, and the three of them talked about some Xumi rumors that they had heard.
For example, during the Demon War, the flower gods, grass gods, and tree gods ruled Meru.
Zhongli picked up the teacup, blew on the tea in the teacup, and put it to his lips.
"Compared to other places, Xumi was a relatively lucky place during the Demon War."
"So what do you mean?"
Hu Tao and Jiang Bai both pulled their cheeks and looked at him.
No one doesn't like to listen to stories told by their elders, especially stories told by knowledgeable people like Zhongli.
The key is that what he tells is not necessarily a story, but what actually happened.
"Sumiru is located in the center of the entire Teyvat. It used to be a very wide but barren land..."
There is certainly a reason why Liyue is the place with the most demons among the Seven Kingdoms.
In the Seven Kingdoms, Mondstadt was covered in ice and snow before Barbatos blew away the wind and snow.
Inazuma is a scattered island near the dark sea.
As for Xumi, there is only yellow sand everywhere.
"At that time, there were only three demon gods in Sumeru, namely the Red King, the Flower God and the Great Merciful Tree King."
"These three demon gods have become friends and jointly protect the land of Xumi. The three demon gods have different ideas, and naturally their actions are also different."
"King Daci Tree carved out a dense rain forest in the yellow sand and created a fertile land suitable for human life."
"Later, the Flower Goddess passed away, and the Red King, whose lover had passed away, fell into grief and fell into a deep sleep in the yellow sand. The only surviving Daci Tree King took over the authority from the sky and smoothly became the god of Sumeru..."
Compared to Liyue's uninterrupted divine battles, Xumi during that period could really be called stable.
What Zhong Li said was very broad, but Jiang Bai still found it interesting.
Especially when I heard that the Red King admired the Flower God.
He blinked and looked at Zhongli, his curiosity completely uncontrollable.
"Master, there is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time."
Zhongli raised his eyes and looked at him gently, "Oh? What's the problem?"
"How can gods and gods give birth to heirs? Immortals and humans can give birth to heirs. Emperor Yan Wang has lived for such a long time, but doesn't he have a lover? Doesn't he have no heirs?"
Zhongli: "..."
He knew that Jiang Bai would not ask any serious questions.
He squeezed the small tea cup in his hand, and his hand felt a little itchy.
"You should ask Emperor Yan Wang this question."
Jiang Bai: "..."
Isn’t this asking →_→
"And gods and humans are different. The pure water elves are closely related to the former water god Egoria. The tears of the flower god turned into the flower spirit family. Do you think these can be called heirs?"
"Well……"
Jiang Bai scratched his head and fell into a panic.
"So, don't judge God based on human behavior. God does not need to reproduce or have heirs."
What Jiang Bai wanted to ask was actually whether he had a lover.
At the risk of being beaten, Jiang Bai asked his question again.
"What about my lover? Since the Red King loves the Flower God, what about our Rock King?"
Looking at Hu Tao's excited gossiping eyes next to him, Zhongli knew that he couldn't get around this problem.
He put down the tea cup and said slowly:
"There is no relevant record in Liyue's historical materials. Moreover, Emperor Yanwang does not care about love. All his love is given to his people."
"Emperor..."
Hearing what Zhong Li said, Hu Tao, who was originally excited about hearing the gossip, now felt a little sad.
Although more than a year has passed, the death of Emperor Yanwang is still painful in people's hearts.
"Come with me to Yiyan Palace to burn incense later."
"no problem!"
The two of them did not stay in Zhongli Courtyard for too long. They wandered slowly to the Yiyan Hall in Yujing Terrace, bowed three times in the air, and put incense candles in the huge incense burner.
On the way home, I passed by Baili Market and bought a few pottery figures of Emperor Yanwang.
The next day, Jiang Bai went to Wuwangpo to pick up Gudong.
Since we are going to Xumi, of course we have to take Gudong out for a long experience.
Sensing Jiang Bai's aura, Gudong jumped out of the water excitedly, like a beautiful fish, glowing beautifully in the sun.
It gave Jiang Bai a slap in the face, holding Jiang Bai's hair with two small wings-like hands, making a purring sound, which directly made Jiang Bai's head wet.
Lotia appeared from the water, "Are you going to pick it up?"
Jiang Bai rubbed Gudong's head. Although it turned into a water elf, it still had the texture of jelly and was ice cold to the touch.
"Well, thank you Ms. Lotia for taking care of me during this time."
"Take good care of it, it can only evolve if it grows."
Gudong made a cooing sound towards Lotia.
"Gu~"
I will visit you often.
Although the language was different, it was not difficult for Lotia to understand Gudong's meaning.
Lotia was in a good mood when she heard Gudong said he would come see her.
She rolled around in the air and jumped back into the water.
"Come on, let me see what you've learned!"
Hearing Jiang Bai's words to test it, Gudong puffed up his chest, and with his two small hands like wings, he condensed a large ball of water.
The water ball slowly fell to the ground and turned into a big duck made of water.
"Um?"
The big duck stepped on the water, raised its neck and launched an impact on the rocks on the side.
The beak, which was made of water and should have been soft, was extremely hard at the moment. With such a peck, the stone immediately fell apart.
This move is called water transforming all things, and just like its name, it can transform into all things.
It just exists for a limited time, and what water turns into will follow basic common sense.
For example, turning into a plant is like a plant made of water. It has no attack methods and cannot move.
Transformed into an animal, just like this water duck, it can only fight in the way of a duck.
"Not bad!" Jiang Bai applauded enthusiastically.
Although this attack caused little harm to him, it was already too much for ordinary people to withstand.
Jiang Bai didn't expect Gudong to help during the battle. It was enough for it to protect itself.
"Anything else?"
Gudong waved his little hand, and a water ball wrapped it in it. Soon, the water ball burst, and a bird made of water appeared in Jiang Bai's field of vision.
It turned directly into a bird.
Gudong itself is a pure water element. It can make water turn into other forms, and it can also turn itself into other forms.
The little bird flapped its wings, landed on Jiang Bai's shoulder, and rubbed his face.
"It's quite similar."
Ignoring the color of the water and the obvious texture of the water ripples, this little bird is already very lifelike.
