Chapter 160: Xumi Is the Kingdom of Wisdom?

Paimon scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hehehe, just now we were joking with Linghua to create a tense atmosphere, but we didn't know that the shogunate army really came."

"So?"

"Yes, Linghua is fine, the only ones in trouble are those heads of the families who collaborated with the enemy."

After hearing Paimon's explanation, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huh, then I'm relieved. I didn't expect you to play this trick. You scared me and the lady."

Paimon scratched his head: "Hehe."

After a while, Kamisato Linghua, who had returned, came to the front of the few people.

"Miss, are you okay?" Thomas asked.

"It's okay, but I'll be a little tired later." Kamisato Ayaka replied: "General Raiden is going to rebuild Inazuma and needs our help."

Thoma breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huh, did the general mention the three magistrates?"

Kamisato Ayaka said: "Yes, the three magistrates are still the three magistrates, but the people in them have to be replaced. The community magistrate is okay, because it was my fault, and the general did not hold it to my brother. She hopes that I will make up for it in the future and perform my duties well."

After listening to Kamisato Ayaka's words, Thomas said with some joy: "That's good, that's good."

"By the way, traveler, since the Eye Hunting Order is over, I have requested your commission to be completed. When I finish my work, I will settle the commission fee with you at that time."

"It's okay, we are not in a hurry, you should complete the task of General Raiden first." Paimon waved his hand.

"Thank you, Thomas and I will leave first." Kamisato Ayaka thanked him seriously.

"You're welcome."

"Well, thank you again for everything you've done for Inazuma." After saying that, Kamisato Ayaka left with Thomas.

"Ying, the Eye Hunting Order is over, where are we going now?" Paimon asked Ying as he looked at Kamisato Ayaka leaving.

"Let's go to Narukami Taisha to find Yae Kamiko." Ying replied.

Paimon asked in confusion, "Why? Didn't we just meet yesterday?"

"How should I know? She just contacted me with the amulet and asked me to go to Narukami Taisha to see her." Ying glanced at Paimon and said.

"Okay, then, let's go to Narukami Taisha."

Ying followed the instructions and came to Narukami Taisha and walked directly to Yae Kamiko's location.

At this time, Yae Kamiko was standing under the sacred cherry tree. She turned her head in surprise when she noticed the arrival of Ying and Paimon.

"Aren't these the traveler and Paimon? Why are you planning to come to Narukami Taisha to collect cherry blossoms again?" Yae Kamiko teased Ying and Paimon.

Paimon waved his hands and said, "No, we have collected enough cherry blossoms."

"You know that, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yae Shenzi asked.

"Didn't you ask us to come?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Hahaha, just kidding." Shenzi said with a smile.

Paimon turned to Ying and said, "Shenzi seems to be in a good mood, how about we..."

"No, you have collected so many cherry blossoms and haven't eaten them all yet. Let's talk about it after you finish eating. I won't let you collect cherry blossoms before that." Yae Shenzi noticed Paimon's thoughts and refused directly.

"But you are right. It's a rare opportunity to reminisce with old friends who haven't seen each other for many years a few days ago. It's a happy thing anyway."

Yae Shenzi said this, and thought of Ying's explanation again. Her cheeks suddenly blushed, but she quickly covered it up.

"But what I didn't expect was that you really had a duel in front of Inazuma, although it was with the Fatui's executive officer instead of General Raiden. How was it, was the opponent strong?"

"It's okay, Ying can definitely beat him." Paimon replied.

"Hehe, this is too modest, I heard Ying say that you were just playing a cat-and-mouse game with that lady at that time."

"Huhu, that lady is so hateful, fortunately Ying helped me get revenge." Paimon was still a little angry when he thought of the lady.

"By the way, where is the Heart of God? Liusu's plan last time." Paimon suddenly thought of something and asked.

"The Heart of God, it should have been taken away by the scattered soldiers, right? I put it on the table next to him at the time. If he wasn't blind, he wouldn't let go of the Heart of God." Yae Shinko said, touching his chin.

"Should it? If Sanbing doesn't get it, it won't ruin Liusu's plan, right? You'll definitely suffer."

"Uh, probably, maybe, possibly." Yae Shenzi said this, and was a little uncertain. Paimeng was right. If this plan failed because of her playfulness, not to mention Liusu, Ying would probably make her look bad.

Because she learned from Ying that the Heart of God was really given to Sanbing by Ying, and Liusu was just the executor of the plan. She also learned that Liusu and Ying must have had bad intentions in giving the Heart of God to Sanbing.

"What? You can't even do a task for the Heart of God." Paimeng glanced at Yae Shenzi and said.

Yae Shenzi changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this. Just think that it was taken away by Sanbing. After all, no one else in Narukami Taisha knows the purpose of the Heart of God."

"I don't know why I called you here today, but there is a will driving me to do this." Yae Shenzi rubbed his head and said.

"Why is the Heart of God in your hands?" Paimeng asked in confusion.

"Because Ying transformed herself into a puppet before, the Heart of God had nowhere to go, so she gave it to her best friend, me, for safekeeping."

"Then why don't gods need the Heart of God?"

Yae Shenzi replied: "I don't know, but according to Ying, she no longer needs the power of the Heart of God, and she has also cut off contact with Sky Island. In this case, the Heart of God is useless and will only cause disputes."

"But what do you think? Did the other three gods also give away their Hearts of God?"

"Yeah, I don't know about Liusu's, but Zhongli and Wendy's have been given to the Fatui. Wendy even put on a show for this, which really pissed me off. I was so worried about him." Paimon replied angrily.

"Hahaha, as the wind god of the Free City, it seems normal for him to do this." Yae Shenzi said with a smile.

"I also know that you have been traveling in Teyvat. Now the Inazuma journey should have come to an end, right? Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result is still good."

"As a reward, whether it is the future road or the doubts in the past, let me answer them for both of you." Yae Shenzi said this, and his expression paused: "Although I don't know why I say this, I feel a kind of consciousness driving me."

"So, is there anything you want to ask?"

Paimon: "???"

Ying next to him nodded in understanding, because she saw the golden box with an exclamation mark on Yae Shenzi's head.

[About the puppet general.]

[About the former thunder general.]

[About my brother.]

[About the next stop of the journey.]

[Nothing else to ask. ]

Ying: "!!!"

Ying hesitated for a while, and finally chose the first one.

"What's the puppet general?" Ying asked.

Yae Godson answered: "The technology of the puppet generals comes from some knowledge that has been lost today. Perhaps only she, as a god, can know the source..."

"Before Ying began to transform his divine body, he created a prototype puppet out of thin air..."

Paimon wondered: "Are there three Thunder Generals?"

"No, that prototype is just to verify the feasibility. The appearance and intelligence are not designed based on Ying himself. It can be said to be a prototype."

"According to the original idea, Ying should abandon him directly, but perhaps Ying thought it was too cruel, so he chose to seal only the power in his body."

"Later, he wandered in the land of Inazuma like an ordinary person with his self-awareness, until... the Fatui took a fancy to him."

"The Fatui!" Paimon exclaimed.

"And that prototype puppet was adjusted by some strange people in the Fatui, and the seal of power was lifted. It may even be stronger than before the seal."

Ying: "This puppet is Sanbing, right?"

"Yes, the Creation of God took the Heart of God himself...The prototype puppet is the current Sanbing."

"But Sanbing is not as strong as you said?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, it's not that Sanbing is not strong, but you, the Traveler, are too powerful." Yae Shenzi said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Sanbing to be born like this. I thought it was just an ordinary puppet made by Ying, but I didn't expect it to be made according to the template of General Raiden. So, Sanbing's power is equivalent to General Raiden?"

"No, no, no, that was the former General Raiden, because for some reason, after Ying separated from the Pure Land of One Heart, General Raiden's strength became stronger than before." Yae Shenzi rejected Paimon's conjecture.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Ah?"

"So this is why I can defeat the scattered soldiers but can't beat General Raiden?"

"Of course not, General Raiden is just a puppet after all, but Ying is the real Thunder God. There is only one possibility that you can't beat General Raiden now, that is, Ying secretly did something."

Ying: "."

Paimon exclaimed, "Wow, does this mean that General Raiden in the castle tower is controlled by Ying? We are not facing General Raiden, but the real Thunder God Ying?"

Yae Shenzi nodded and said, "Yes."

"But why can Manye resist General Raiden's sword?" Paimon asked in confusion.

Yae God Child answered: "Because the shadows will not use their true power to a large extent, and the one called Manye probably inherited a strong desire, which is why such an impossible miracle occurred."

"But this power is not your own after all. After using it once, it will not work later, but the power of the gods is endless."

Ying nodded and said: "So that's the case, but there is a shadow, so there should be a real side, right? So who is the former Thunder General?"

"You, a foreigner, actually know that the Thunder God once changed... This is also rarely known among the people of Inazuma, but as a friend of the three old gods, it is not surprising that you know this."

"Yes, yes, Zhongli mentioned before that the Thunder God Baal has passed away, and the current shadow seems to be Baalzebub."

Ye God Child explained: "Well, that's the fact, because Baal and Baalzebub are actually a pair of twin demons."

Paimon asked in confusion: "Twin. Demon?"

Regarding Paimon's doubts, Yae Shenzi said: "They won the Demon War together, and later after Baal established the shogunate, Baalzeb became Baal's substitute as a silhouette warrior."

"Baalzebul is the shadow you and I are familiar with, and Baal's name is true."

"In the eyes of the world, the two of them have always been the same existence. They have always complemented each other and jointly managed Dao Wife. Therefore, there is no need for the people to know the truth."

"Whether it is the name of the demon god Baal or the title of General Thunder, it can actually always be regarded as referring to both of them at the same time, until..."

"Until?" Paimeng said with admiration.

Yae Shenzi sighed and said: "It wasn't until Zhen died in a war hundreds of years ago that I couldn't personally experience that the shadows came to the scene."

"It must be a big blow to Ying. If they are sisters..."

Ying touched his chin and thought: "The war hundreds of years ago must have been the battle of Kanria."

"So Kage's transformation also started at that time. For her, this is probably the biggest loss."

Paimon continued to ask: "It turns out that there are such past events, and it seems that I understand Ying better... So what kind of god is he really?"

Yae Shenzi replied: "I haven't been with her for a long time. In my impression... she is a gentle God who always cherishes all the beauty in front of her."

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Is that so?"

Ying directly ignored the option [About my brother.] and asked Yae Kamiko: "What is the next stop on our journey?"

Yae Shenzi touched his chin and replied: "After leaving Inazuma, I think... it will be more convenient to go to Sumeru."

"Xumi?"

Hearing this answer, Ying and Pai Meng looked at each other, because Xumi and the others were familiar with each other, and they went to every place they could except the Wisdom Palace in Xumi City.

"Why, do you know?" Yae Shenzi asked doubtfully.

"We went to Xumi before coming to Inazuma, and met many scholars in Xumi." Paimon replied.

She put on a kitten face and said, "I hate scholars!"

Although Yae Shenzi didn't know why he was so resentful towards scholars, he still continued: "Since you have gone, what is your understanding of Sumeru?"

"What's Xumi like?" Paimon asked Ying doubtfully.

Ying said uncertainly: "A lot of mountains? A lot of trees? A lot of caves? A large desert, and many ruins of the underworld?"

"You are going on an adventure, right?" After hearing Ying's answer, Yae Shenzi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why do you feel like you haven't gone to Sumeru since you went there?"

"What is Sumeru like? We heard that the god of Sumeru is the god of wisdom." Paimon said.

"Well, Sumeru is the country of the God of Wisdom, and their search for wisdom and knowledge is endless." Yae Shenzi nodded, but after saying this, she found that Ying and Paimon looked at her strangely.

Yae Shenzi asked in confusion: "Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, no, just keep talking." Pamon waved his hand quickly.

Xumi is a country that pursues wisdom and knowledge. Paimon and Ying do not believe it because their god's pursuit of force has left an indelible impact on them.

Although Yae Shenzi was confused about Ying and Paimon's behavior, he still said: "But this persistence often leads to some puzzling things. For example, in Sumeru, knowledge is managed uniformly as a resource."

"Knowledge is also a resource?" Paimeng asked doubtfully. Although they had entered Xumi and obtained the Void Terminal before, they still didn't understand these things.

"Well, I just don't know whether it was the wise men or the little Lucky Grass King who made this decision."

"Wait a minute, little Lucky Grass King!"

"What's wrong with you? Isn't this something everyone knows?" Yae Shenzi said helplessly to Paimon.

Paimon said with a confused look on his face: "Isn't it the Great Merciful Tree King that Xumi believes in?"

"Well, you should also know that the Great Merciful Tree King died in the same war as Zhen five hundred years ago, so the new Little Lucky Grass King took over Xumi, and the Little Lucky Grass King is the god that Xumi believes in. People's nickname for her."

Paimon: "."

fluorescent:"."

How come the Sumeru they learned from Yae Shenzi is completely different from what they saw? Wasn't the Little Lucky Grass King imprisoned in Jingshan Palace for so long? People still believe in King Daci Shu.

"Speaking of which, Liusu is also a god. I learned from Ying's mouth that Liusu, like her, is one of the seven rulers of the world, but I don't know which country he belongs to." Yae Shenzi said with emotion.

"Is it possible that she is the God of Wisdom in Sumeru?" Paimon hesitated before answering.

"ha?"

Hearing Paimon's words, Yae Shenzi showed doubts and disbelief.

"She is the God of Wisdom? Are you kidding me? I believe you when you say she is the Rock God Morax."

"But this is the result." Paimon spread his hands and said.

Yae Shenzi shook his head and said: "Impossible. Tassel uses golden divine power, which gives me a sense of calm, powerful, vast and unstoppable. It is not the power of the grass element, and the god of Sumeru is the god of grass. It should be used It’s the green power of grass.”

"So, Tassel can't be the god of wisdom, but Morax did appear in Rice Wife, and the wind god of Mondstadt was also there."

Paimon also said helplessly: "So believe us, we are right, she is the God of Wisdom."

"The current Xumi should be the Little Auspicious Grass King, her appearance is seriously inconsistent? And" Yae Shenzi wanted to say something.

Paimon interrupted Yae Shenzi and said: "Because Nashida who came to Inazuma is the Little Auspicious Grass King you mentioned."

After listening to Paimon's words, Yae Shenzi knew why he said Xumi was the kingdom of wisdom. Paimon and Ying showed a strange expression. A god who was suspected to be the God of Wisdom used a power that did not belong to the grass element, and the other one who was suspected to be the Little Auspicious Grass King was even more outrageous and almost blew up Inazuma.

Yae Shenzi rubbed her sore head hard, and Paimon's answer made her unable to recover for a long time.

"Now I understand why you said that. If it were me, I wouldn't believe that Xumi is a country of wisdom."

"Is that right? Because the God of Wisdom once told us: [As long as you are strong enough, everything you say is the truth]." Paimon said, imitating Liusu's tone.

Yaezon: "."
