Chapter 151: People Who Long to Be Watched by God
Zheping explained: "You speak very little. Generally speaking, Paimon next to you speaks, but when you speak, it is very brief, and there is a strange sense of distance."
"This sense of distance gives me the feeling that you are not a human being, but a god. However, except for the seven gods, there seems to be no other demon gods appearing in Teyvat now."
"You're thinking too much." Ying replied helplessly.
After listening to Ying's words, Zheping smiled bitterly: "Haha, I thought so too. How could I, Zheping, be noticed by the gods?"
fluorescent:"."
"Zheping, don't you find that the atmosphere here is a little special?" Paimon suddenly asked.
Zheping touched his chin and analyzed: "That being said, I also feel it. Maybe it's because this place is close to the skeleton of the demon god Orobas, and the aura of the haunted god is stronger, right?"
"The Demon God Orobas, that is"
Zheping pointed to the giant skeleton on the opposite island of Balu and explained to Paimon: "Look, that is the skeleton left by Orobas."
"Wow! Such a big snake bone looks so scary!" Paimon exclaimed.
"It was Orobas who brought our ancestors from Yunxia Palace to the surface, and that's how Haiji Island became today."
"Our ancestors have always regarded it as a patron saint, but during the Demon God War, Orobas invaded Baoyu Island."
"General Raiden came in person and killed him with Wu Xiang's sword. That sword also formed the Wu Xiang Blade Hazama today."
After hearing Zheping's explanation, Paimon said in disbelief: "The Wuxiang Blade Hazama was actually chopped out by General Raiden. It's so powerful."
"Well, it's really powerful." Ying agreed. Even the shield given by Liusu was almost shattered by Ying's knife. You must know that Liusu has another identity, that is, the descendant.
"Yes, I heard that you can take the general's Wu Xiang sword. I was also surprised. This is not something ordinary people can do." Zhe Ping pointed out.
Ying replied: "It was a life-saving measure given by a friend, but it is no longer effective now."
"So that's it. That friend of yours must be very strong." Zheping said with emotion.
Ying remained silent and did not answer Zheping's emotion.
Zheping continued: "However, the Demon God War was extremely cruel. Yaru Island was reduced to ruins in that battle. It is said that the general also lost the things he cherished at that time."
"After the death of Orobas, there were many discords between Kaijijima and the shogunate. But this time the resistance was established not for faith, but just to target the Eye Hunting Order."
"Aurobas destroyed civilization, and it was the general who stood up to stop it."
"Now that the general has issued an eye-hunting order to deprive the people of their wishes, someone must stand up to stop the general... cough cough." After saying this, Zheping began to cough violently again.
Zhe Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ying: "I'm going back first. I just finished dealing with the elite samurai of the shogunate army. I'm going back to have a rest. I have other things to do later."
"You should also report to Mr. Coral Palace quickly. There may still be lingering ghost spirit here. Staying here for a long time is not good for your health."
Saying this, Zheping started coughing violently again.
Seeing this, Ying said: "Be careful yourself."
"Don't worry, my body is strong." Zheping answered with a smile after listening to Ying's words.
Ying couldn't deny Zheping's answer, and quietly watched Zheping turn and leave.
Paimon said from the side: "I didn't expect Teppei to be able to fight with the samurai of the shogunate army. Unknowingly, he has grown a lot."
"He's dying." Ying sighed.
"Huh? Why?" Pamon scratched his head.
Ying replied: "I told him before that although I don't know what he used to convert his vitality into combat effectiveness, this approach is not advisable. I persuaded him twice, but he still followed his own ideas. I also no way."
"Well, what should we do? And Ying, how did you find out that Zheping's life force was lost?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"After using the power taught by Tassel, I felt deeply about this strange thing like vitality. When we first met, Zheping's vitality was obviously reduced a lot. He was probably like a middle-aged man. Now we see Zheping. His vitality is like that of an eighty-year-old man.”
"Wow, Liusu is really amazing. I'm afraid this is a power from outside the world, right?" Paimon didn't pay attention to Zheping's question, but instead asked Ying about Liusu.
"Yes, Liusu said before that we obtain the power from outside the world that can deny the world." Ying glanced at Paimon and replied.
"Lisu, she wants to deny the world?!" Paimon exclaimed.
Ying heard Paimon's exclamation and wondered, "Paimon, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. But isn't Liusu's statement the same as your brother and Deinsreib? Isn't her goal also the throne in the sky?"
Ying replied: "No, I just guessed."
"That's not bad." Pamon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Paimon, why do you care so much about Tassel? Does she really have the power to deny the world?" Ying asked curiously.
"Well, how should I put it? She is more terrifying than your brother and the Abyss Cult combined. If it is her," Paimon replied timidly, without even saying the next words.
"Paimon, tell me, if Tassel joins us and launches an attack on the throne in the sky, will we win?"
Paimon: "???"
"Should, right?" Pamon was silent for a moment and answered uncertainly.
Ying suddenly asked Paimon: "Paimon, what kind of god do you think Liusu is?"
Paimon thought for a while and replied, "Well, let me think about it, a person who is very mysterious, very powerful, makes delicious food, but is also very salty, is also the person Paimon should not mess with."
"Oh? Compared to Diluc's ones?"
"There's no comparison at all. How can Master Diluc compare with Tassel? No, Ying, are you trying to trick me? I'm so angry!" Paimon came back to his senses and said angrily to Ying.
Ying smiled and teased Paimon: "Did you notice? Paimon is not as stupid as I thought."
"I'm so angry, Ying, how could you do this? I won't forgive you for this matter."
"Okay, okay. When Dao Wife's affairs are finished, I'll treat you to Xian Tiaoqiang for a month, three meals a day."
"Wow! I'm so happy. So what are we waiting for? Let's solve the matter of the Eye Hunting Order quickly!" Paimon's eyes turned into celestial beings when he heard that there were three meals a day, and there was still one month left. The shape of the wall made the previous unpleasantness completely forgotten.
Ying looked at Paimon's appearance and complained, "As expected of you."
"Hey, because there is delicious food, Ying, I forgive you for trying to trick me. Let's go back and report to Xinhai as soon as possible." Paimeng urged Ying excitedly.
With excitement, Paimon kept talking about delicious food along the way, which made Ying's head grow bigger.
"Xinhai, let's go back. Hey, Wulang is here too."
As soon as he arrived at the Coral Palace, Paimon rushed in to greet Xinhai, but he didn't expect to see an unexpected person.
Paimon looked at Goro and Coral Palace Xinhai discussing something with serious faces and said to Ying next to him: "What happened? Their expressions look so serious."
"Approximately how many people have this kind of abnormal situation?" Coral Palace asked Wulang heartily.
Wulang replied: "I haven't had time to complete the statistics yet."
After Ying and Paimon approached, Paimon intervened and said, "Xinhai, Goro, what happened?"
"Traveler, some soldiers in the resistance army have been experiencing strange aging symptoms recently." Hearing Paimon's voice, Goro turned to face Ying and replied.
"I called them in for questioning and found out that they had secretly obtained some secret weapons from the funders."
"Most of them are competitive and extremely dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order. After getting these secret weapons, they have been using them secretly."
After listening to Wu Lang's words, Coral Palace Xinhai said: "No wonder the recent battle situation has been extremely smooth...but this is definitely not the right way and must be banned as soon as possible."
"Goro, did you get their so-called secret weapon?"
"Most people who hold secret weapons refuse to hand it over, but I still got one..." Goro replied, taking out a familiar black object from his pocket.
"This is the evil eye of fools." Ying looked at the thing in Wulang's hand and said in surprise.
"Traveler, how do you know this?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"That's not important. Now I know why Zheping's vitality is passing away so quickly." Ying replied, touching his chin.
After listening to Ying's words, Wulang thought thoughtfully: "So, the identity of the sponsor is actually the fool?"
Coral Gong Xinhai touched his chin and asked doubtfully: "But why do you fools do this?"
"There is no time to think about it. The most important thing now is to inform the army as soon as possible to give up the use of the evil eye." Coral Palace Xinhai quickly ordered: "Soldiers with abnormalities recently need to receive treatment. I hope they can catch up."
"So, the Zheping you were talking about before should have this problem, but you said before that Zheping's vitality is already like that of an eighty-year-old man. Is that possible? Forget it, let's go there quickly. I hope we can catch up."
"Okay." Ying nodded.
Coral Palace Xinhai said: "Wu Lang, we are also going to the resistance camp. We must stop the circulation of evil eyes immediately."
"Yes, Lord Coral Palace!" Wulang replied seriously.
When Ying and Paimon rushed to Zheping's residence, they found that Zheping was not at home.
Paimon said with some confusion: "Where is Zheping? Where has he gone? Shouldn't he be resting at this time?"
"He is here, on the wall next to the house, but at this time his life is like a candle in the wind and may be extinguished at any time." Ying pointed his eyes at Zheping's position and said to Paimon.
"Ah? No way? Did Zheping use the evil eye again later? Ying, didn't you tell him not to use it?" Paimon said anxiously.
"Let's go take a look." Ying said nothing else and walked towards Zheping's position.
At this time, the old-looking Zheping was leaning against the wall. His originally gray hair had turned completely snow-white. It was different from the fringed snow hair, but a kind of lifeless paleness.
Zheping noticed someone approaching. He raised his head and saw that the people arriving were Ying and Paimon. He said with some difficulty, "Ah, it's you. Are you here?"
"Wait a minute, I'll stand up first...it's strange, I always feel like I don't have any strength..."
"Zheping." Paimon shouted unbearably as he looked at the old Zheping.
"Huh?" Hearing Paimon's voice, Zheping didn't get up again. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Ying and Paimon and said with a smile in an old voice: "Oh, I haven't had time to tell you in detail. I haven't been here lately. , and made several achievements.”
"Fighting the shogunate army on a ship, repelling the shogunate samurai alone, and rescuing the besieged companions, I never dared to dream before."
"If I could be stronger, it would be great. If I were stronger, I could do more things... Strange, where is my secret weapon?"
Ying asked: "When did you start using it?"
Zheping thought hard and replied: "When... Probably not long after you were named the captain of the Swordfish Second Division, I met the mysterious person who sponsored you."
"Haha, it's just like the Eye of God, right? I haven't used the Eye of God, and I don't know what the difference is..."
"This is... the evil eye." Ying said softly.
After hearing Ying's words, Zheping thought a little slowly: "The evil eye? It sounds like a bad thing."
"Is it different from the Eye of God?"
"The evil eye will overdraw the user's life." Ying replied.
Zheping: "."
Zheping was silent for a while, then sighed: "Is that so... Indeed, it is normal for something of unknown origin like this to have risks."
"In recent days, I have been getting more and more tired, and I have a vague feeling of bad premonition in my heart. Before, I was just more tired after fighting, but after coming back today, I suddenly found that I couldn't see clearly."
"What a pity, I thought I would catch up with you... Haha..."
Speaking of this, Zheping laughed bitterly.
"I really wasn't watching the gods."
Ying listened to Zheping's words, and was silent for a while, saying: "When I first saw you, I noticed something was wrong, why did you still use it?"
Zheping replied: "Well, I thought you were actually trying to scare me. There is no such thing as overdrawing life, and at that time, I was very motivated to make achievements, so I didn't care about these."
"If you learn more martial arts, you can also do things that many people can't do." Ying said that except for the gods, those who learn the martial arts taught by Ying can solve most of the enemies, just like Liyue's Qianyan Army.
"It takes too long to learn martial arts. The Eye Hunting Order is imminent, and I don't have that much time to study seriously."
"Traveler, you are very strong. I have seen that you can exert more powerful martial arts than those who have the Eye of God without the Eye of God. After I got the evil eye, I also went to find Kairangui and wandering warriors. It was difficult for me to use the power of the evil eye to deal with them."
"At that time, I realized how terrible your reputation was among wandering warriors like Kairangui. Even if I killed a lot of wandering warriors, they still had the courage to draw their swords against me when they saw me."
Tepei sighed and said, "Traveler, is this really something a mortal can do? And along the way, I didn't see you use elemental power."
Ying: "."
Although the feelings are not that deep, for someone who has been in contact with Inazuma for so long, Ying still feels a little bit reluctant to see him die.
"Traveler, can I ask you something?"
Ying asked, "What is it?"
Zheping looked at Ying expectantly, "Are you really not a god?"
Ying replied calmly, "No."
After Ying finished speaking, the light of expectation in Zheping's eyes slowly disappeared, and he lowered his head and said with a sense of loss, "It would be great if you were a god. At least, I have been watched by a god."
"Traveler, I have one last favor to ask of you." Zheping said to Ying after he finished sighing.
"What is it? Tell me." Ying replied.
Zheping's breath became obviously weaker at this time, and he said in a somewhat intermittent manner, "When our team uniforms are ready, you help me and take my share back... We will change together..."
Ying: "."
Paimon: "."
"What's that expression on your face, buddy? Don't worry, let me rest for a while... Rest for a while. Maybe I'll be fine..." Zheping spoke, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally he slowly closed his eyes and drooped his head.
Paimon shouted reluctantly: "Zheping."
"Ying, can you help him? I know you can do it now." Paimon turned to Ying and said expectantly.
Ying looked calm and said to Zheping: "This is against common sense. I don't think it should be done."
"Ying! You are a human, not a god. Don't be affected by divinity!" Looking at Ying who was obviously wrong, Paimon shouted at Ying.
At the same time, Paimon used a special power from behind Ying to transmit it into Ying's body.
Paimon knew that the holy attribute was a very powerful conceptual power, because it was really a power outside the world. It was better to say that it was a divine attribute than a holy attribute, because this energy could make an ordinary person have the hope of becoming a god as long as he worked hard.
As long as it is power, there are disadvantages, and the power of the holy attribute is also the same. Although it is not harmful to the person, it will make the person have divinity. This is a qualitative change of life, and it is also a disadvantage of the holy attribute.
Ying's strength increased too fast, like a rocket, and at the same time, Ying's divinity exceeded her humanity, which made Paimeng feel sad. Although Ying was still as scumbag as usual, she was no longer an ordinary person in terms of some matters.
"Ah? What's wrong with me?" Ying felt a coolness coming from her body, and suddenly came back to her senses and said.
"Ying, you increased your strength too fast, and you were affected by your divinity." Paimeng hesitated and said.
"Is that so? I was wondering why it felt weird." Ying scratched his head and said, "Thank you, Paimon."
Paimon was stunned by Ying's sudden thanks, then smiled at Ying and said, "Well, you're welcome, we are best friends!"
"This power is really strange, well, Liusu is right, as long as it is power, there are disadvantages. If you can't really master the power in your hands, you will be affected by the power. I was just affected by this power." Ying touched his chin and analyzed.
"You are right, this power is stronger than elemental power, and it is also more domineering. It can even purify the breath of the abyss, but at the same time, this power is not something that ordinary people can master."
"So, Ying, before you really master this power, I don't recommend you to improve too fast, otherwise you will become a god." Paimon said to Ying seriously.
"What's wrong with becoming a god? So many people want to become gods." Ying replied with a smile.
