"Only heroes who have partnered with flower spirits and pilgrims who worship the gods are allowed to enter this place. However, since you are carrying the gods' tokens, I will make an exception and let you in."
"Thank you very much. You are really a reasonable and beautiful flower spirit." Jiang Bai flattered him smoothly.
This Zurwan is the oldest flower spirit here, and it is also the original flower spirit. Even so, time has not left any traces on it.
"You just said pilgrims, are there still pilgrims coming here?"
Is it a pilgrimage to the God of Flowers or the God of Water?
“Of course, the body of Water Goddess Egolia turned into a sea of nectar here, and many pure water elves from foreign lands came here through many obstacles.
"They came for the dead god, but they didn't find what they wanted here. After seeing the appearance of the thousands of mother trees, they quickly dispersed.
"Later, the legend of pure water spirits spread, and many people from foreign countries followed the paths they had taken, trying to find their secrets.
"Although it was just a matter of spreading rumors at first, over time, this path has also been given the meaning of abandoning oneself and finding innocence."
"So that's it, then it seems that this place is connected to Fontaine, the Kingdom of Water."
Pure water elves are creatures that cannot live without water. Since they can come here as a pilgrim, it means that there are waters underground connected to Fontaine.
It's just that Jiang Bai currently has no interest in visiting Fontaine.
He just wanted to solve the things here, go back to the Hall of Purity and have a good rest, and then go to Haiji Island to look for the abyss and the forbidden book that Orobas was forced to die just after reading it.
I don't know how long Tianli will sleep for. During the period of time when He is sleeping, it is the best time to dig out the secrets.
"Has the celestial phenomenon of Burning Truth appeared before?"
"The last time it appeared was a long, long time ago. At that time, I and the human warriors sealed it together. However, over the long period of time, the previous rituals have been forgotten, and the celestial phenomenon of Burning Truth has also appeared again... "
Zurwan raised his head and looked at the huge celestial phenomenon in the sky. There was no complicated expression on his small face.
"How to repair the seal?"
"It's very simple. The giant lotus "Gaujana" that houses the spiritual consciousness is among the thousands of mother trees. As long as the impurity is removed, the holy flower will bloom again.
"And to remove the filth, we must first hold a ceremony..."
The Flower Spirits are a race that attaches great importance to rituals. If they want to seal the celestial phenomenon of Burning Truth again, they must hold a ceremony.
Although many ancient documents have been lost in history, many of the past rituals have also been forgotten.
But as the original flower spirit, Zurwan remembered everything, and she passed on this knowledge to the new flower spirits. Together with the new warriors, the new flower spirits sealed the celestial phenomenon of Burning Truth again.
Before repairing it again, Jiang Bai tried to jump into the Black Abyss to see what was under the cracks in the abyss. Unfortunately, standing on the seal, all he could see was darkness.
I don't know where this space is connected to, and the continuously flowing power reflected in the celestial phenomenon of Fen Zhen is frightening.
However, with the completion of the seal, the aura escaping here was completely sealed, and green branches and vines enveloped the place, leaving no trace of misunderstanding.
There is no longer the celestial phenomenon of Burning Truth on the Ten Thousand Kinds of Mother Trees, and the shadow of the big green tree grows out of it.
But no one knows how long this seal can last, just like the ten thousand mother trees whose power is constantly weakening.
With the seal restored, Hutao, who had been playing in Xumi for almost two months, announced that the trip was over.
Before parting, the two gave Ait a lot of books, as well as the box of antiques they had salvaged from the water.
Thanks to Aite along the way, these are the rewards he deserves.
It took me a while to return to Liyue Port from the Sumeru Desert. The familiar sounds of hawkers could be heard in my ears, and the bustling streets were full of traffic. Returning here felt as relaxing as returning home.
"Oh, Liyue is better!" Hutao cheered loudly.
Although the scenery outside is shocking and novel, it can never be compared to home.
"Fortunately, I can fly, otherwise I feel like I wouldn't be able to catch up with this year's Lantern Festival."
Xumi is so big that an ordinary person who can only walk on two feet would not be able to come back in less than half a year.
"This hall master has calculated his time well and will never miss this year's Sea Lantern Festival!"
The Hai Lantern Festival is the most important annual festival in Liyue, and everyone has to come back in time for anything.
Jiang Bai hummed and temporarily put aside the secrets buried in history.
The past history is the past tense after all, and the bustling world is the living world.
Jiang Bai bought a bunch of candied haws and handed it to Hu Tao. The red candied haws were bitten between his teeth, sour and sweet.
There are still several days before the Hai Lantern Festival, but the streets of Liyue are already filled with a festive atmosphere.
Colorful silks and satins are draped in the lanes, and beautiful lanterns are hung all over the streets.
"Everything for the festival should be ready in the hall. Let's go back and take a look. If you haven't purchased anything yet, hurry up and do it..."
Hutao held the candied haws in her mouth and dragged Jiang Bai to the living room.
They haven't returned to the Purana Palace yet.
Back at the gate, several stewards were cleaning in front of the door, wiping the plaque, replacing the broken tiles on the wall, and repainting the faded door.
The door that was usually closed during the day was now completely open, and there was no longer any gloomy atmosphere.
"The hall master is back!"
"I haven't seen you for more than two months. Did you miss me?"
"I thought the hall master would not come back to celebrate the festival this year."
"How can I do that? No matter what happens, I have to come back!"
"The hall master has grown taller and tanned..."
"I'm a bit tanned. The desert sun is too poisonous. There's nothing I can do..."
"Did the hall master bring us a gift this time?"
"Of course we're ready! A can of desert sand for each person!"
"That's too much, Master!"
"Hahahahahaha, just teasing you~"
While Hutao was biting the candied haws, she was making jokes with the attendants, showing off her knowledge.
The relaxing feeling of home makes the fatigue of the journey disappear.
"No more, no more, I have to clean the yard too. No one has lived in it for more than two months. If I don't clean it, I won't be able to sleep."
As the saying goes, to welcome the new year, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, general cleaning is essential.
Jiang Bai returned to his yard. The door that had not been opened for several months had already formed a spider web.
Weeds in the yard covered the aisles, and yellow leaves fell all over the ground.
Many sweet flowers in the backyard are still alive. Even without Jiang Bai's watering, this tenacious plant is still growing well.
Jiang Bai unscrupulously threw Gudong out and did hygiene together.
"Gudong, I'll leave the scrubbing job to you!"
Regarding the underground ruins and gates of Kanria, I plan to write about them together when I write about Kanria, so that they can be more compact.
