Chapter 184 The Brave Man and the Dragon

Yuan Shang took the imperial reins from Ying, fiddled with them for a few times and said to Ying: "The imperial reins are now activated. Take it to command the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, and it should be no problem to remove the barrier."

"But for such a ceremonial thing, let's go to the outermost main gate of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage to do it."

"The main gate of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage is in the southeast of its area. You can always see it by walking around the barrier."

After hearing Yuan Shang's words, a series of "???" floated above Paimeng's head.

"The Yuanxia Palace is surrounded by a thousand-foot abyss. It feels like you may not reach the bottom even if you fall in. You must be careful on your way there."

"Anyway, it's like I said just now. If you can't find it, just walk around the barrier, and you will find me. I've almost finished my investigation here, and there's nothing I want here, so I'll leave first."

Before Paimeng asked anything, Yuan Shang said these and left.

Paimeng opened his mouth: "."

"What's wrong with this guy Yuanshang? Why did he run away alone? I'm so angry!" Paimeng complained angrily.

"Forget it, let's move towards the Great Sun Carriage." Ying sighed and said.

While hurrying on the road, Paimeng asked Liusu, "Liusu, do you know anything about this Yuanxia Palace?"

Liusu replied, "I don't know."

"Oh? So decisive? Don't know, or can't say?" Paimeng asked in confusion.

Liusu glanced at her and replied, "I don't know, not that I can't say."

"Okay." Paimeng scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions. Since Liusu said she didn't know, she really didn't know.

"Ying, that key pattern, hurry up, let's collect it." Paimeng suddenly pointed to the key pattern on the broken bridge in front and urged Ying.

Liusu asked in some confusion, "Why do you collect this thing?"

"This can activate runes at specific locations in Yuanxia Palace, and then get treasures." Paimeng replied.

"How long will it take you to collect like this?" Liusu looked at Paimeng and said.

She had never collected this stuff when she was playing games, so it was better not to have that little bit of raw stone!

Paimeng scratched his head and said: "This, this"

"Forget it, I'll help you, give me a key pattern." Liusu said to Ying.

"Ah?" Although he didn't understand Liusu's behavior, Ying still took out a key pattern from her backpack and handed it to Liusu.

In the vision of Ying and Paimeng, Liusu took the key pattern and threw it into the air.

"Wow, Liusu, why did you lose the key pattern? This is hard to find. Although there are few treasures, it is also a kind of joy." Paimeng turned his head and looked at Liusu with a tangled face.

"Paimeng, don't talk, look." Ying said while pulling Paimeng.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Paimeng looked up in confusion following Ying's line of sight.

"Wow! What is this, so many key patterns are, all flying over!" Paimeng exclaimed.

Liusu said while exerting her divine power: "Yuanxia Palace is not big. By filtering according to the breath and style of the key patterns, all the key patterns in Yuanxia Palace can be pulled here."

"Liusu, you are so powerful. If you use this ability to find the divine pupil!" Paimon said with surprise.

"Don't even think about it. Looking for the divine pupil in Teyvat will tire me to death. But why are you looking for the divine pupil? For that insignificant blessing from the gods?"

After hearing what Liusu said, Paimon pointed at Ying and said: "This, this, mainly Ying can collect anything she sees. Besides, offering the divine pupil to the statue can get the blessing of the gods, and ordinary people can't find it."

"It was you who suggested that I look for it, why did it become something I wanted to find myself?" Ying complained.

"Hehe, didn't you look for it very hard before?" Paimon said with a laugh.

"But it's true. Ordinary people can't see the divine pupil, so Ying, you can see the divine pupil thanks to Paimon's credit." Liusu said with a smile.

Ying: "Paimon!"

Paimon tilted his head and stuck out his tongue at Ying, saying, "Hey!"

"Okay, the key patterns should have been collected, you can collect them." Liusu said, and slowly pulled a bunch of key patterns in the air to Ying's front.

"Thank you, Liusu." Ying said seriously.

Liusu waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake."

"Yeah." Ying put all the key patterns in front of her into her backpack, and the exploration of Yuanxia Palace was half completed.

Ying counted the key patterns collected by Liusu in her backpack while walking, and found that it was an astronomical number, more than the divine pupil. If she looked for it by herself, she would have to look for several months. The most important thing is that she can't fly frequently here.

"Ying, we can obviously fly, why do we have to walk at this time?" Paimon suddenly asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but I feel that I should walk over like this. It doesn't seem right to fly over." Ying scratched his head and said.

Paimon also scratched his head and said, "Okay."

"But what's under the Abyss Palace? It looks so scary." Paimon started to find a topic again.

Liusu touched his chin and said, "It should be the abyss?"

"Abyss? Is the abyss really down there?" Ying asked in confusion.

"I guessed. I just heard from Yuanshang that the bottom of the Abyss Palace is so deep that you can't see the bottom. You can't fall to the ground for a long time, so I guess there is an abyss down there." Liusu explained.

"If there is really an abyss down there, isn't it the home of the Abyss Order?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"It's not the abyss of the Abyss Apostle, but the abyss toward the stars and the abyss. It is both an abyss and a road to the stars." Liusu said.

Paimon stared at Liusu with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Ah?! Really?"

"Paimon, why are you so surprised? I told you it was just a guess. Are you really planning to go down there and have a look?" Ying said helplessly.

"Hehe, I just thought about it. After all, it looks very dangerous down there. I won't try it." Paimon said quickly.

"Look quickly, is that the one in front of you?" Paimon said, pointing to the figure in front of him.

Ying replied: "It's Fuchshang. It looks like he was blocked by something."

"Then let's hurry up and ask. Really, if you ran so fast just now, why don't you have to wait for us here." Pamon said happily.

fluorescent:"."

Ying felt that something was wrong with Paimon now, because Paimon would be very happy when he saw others being embarrassed. He didn't know who taught this behavior.

When a few people approached, Yuan Shang said to Ying: "Oh, you are here. Please let me do it for you and lift the barrier for you. Can you please give me the royal bridle first?"

Ying threw the royal bridle in her hand to Yuan Shang without hesitation: "Here you go."

Ying's cheerful behavior shocked Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang didn't expect Ying to be so cooperative and gave him the bridle directly. He was also preparing for a painful scene.

"Thank you." Yuanshang thanked him verbally, turned his head with excitement, and prepared to use the imperial bridle to open the barrier in front of the Great Sun Yuyu.

When Fuchsami did this, he suddenly thought of something and said to the people behind him: "However, you should stand farther away. After all, this is my first time doing this kind of thing."

"For example?" Paimon asked confused.

Fuchikami explained: "For example, the instantaneous impact knocks you down into the bottomless abyss, or the stale air suddenly makes it impossible to breathe, or the guardian dragon suddenly appears..."

"Or, in other words, he was cursed and became a monster that controls the fire element."

Paimon said with a horrified look on his face: "Wow, it's so scary."

"Ying, let's stay away from each other. It would be bad if I really turned into a monster that controls the fire element. I will be wiped out by you with one sword!" Paimon said to Ying.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you become a monster that controls the fire element. God will purify you." Ying said expressionlessly.

Paimon said angrily: "Wow, the god you are talking about is the god-body sword in your hand! I don't want to be purified by it!"

What Ying and Paimon didn't notice was that when the two of them were talking about God purifying you, Fushang squeezed the royal bridle in his hand tightly with his hands. The blue veins in his hand seemed to be about to break the bridle. Generally crushed.

After hearing this, Fuchangami showed a self-deprecating but relaxed expression and said with emotion: "Huh, let me just say, how can God be so good? It turns out to be a weapon called God."

Yuan Shang urged the bridle in his hand, and after a while, the barrier protecting the Great Sun Yu Yu quickly disappeared like broken bubbles.

"Wow, it's the first time in my life to lift the seal of a historical monument. It's quite exciting." After doing all this, Fuchikami turned his head and said to several people with an exaggerated expression.

"Watching such a big wall disappear, it really feels like a big library was set on fire."

After hearing what Fuchsami said, Paimon couldn't help but complain: "What you said is so dangerous. Are you really a research investigator?"

"Ah haha, of course it is. I can't wait to investigate the inside of the Great Sun Yuyu. Are there any unique ancient books?"

"I'll take the first step. If you have any treasures you want to search for, please feel free to do so." After saying this, Yuan Shang disappeared again.

"Well, why did Fuchsami do this?" Paimon asked in confusion as he looked at Fuchsami leaving.

Liusu glanced at Paimon and said, "Whatever, the scenery here is really nice. It's a pity that I didn't see the pool, otherwise it would definitely be a good fishing spot."

After listening to Liusu's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain: "Hey, there are no normal fish to catch here, right? Besides, Liusu, why do you like fishing so much? What's so fun about this."

"You don't understand. I explained it to you." Liusu shook his head, then looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said leisurely: "What you are fishing for is not a fish, but a feeling."

Paimon: "."

"Let's go to the Imperial Palace of the Sun. I can't understand your feelings." Paimon said after hesitating for a long time.

Ying nodded and said, "Yeah."

Several people followed the road and walked all the way to the foot of the Great Sun Yuyu Building. Looking at the 100-meter-high tower, the "sun" on the tower pierced some people and made them unable to open their eyes.

"It's so spectacular." Paimon sighed.

"Yeah, I wonder if this building can be moved." Liusu said, touching his chin.

Paimon couldn't help but complain: "Your idea is so dangerous. How can you move such a big building!"

While several people were talking, suddenly Fuchikami's voice came from the Dainichi Yuyu Pagoda.

"Hey! Are you here? Come up quickly!"

"It seems that Abyss must have encountered some trouble again that needs you to solve. Let's go over and take a look." Paimon spread his hands towards Ying and said.

Yuan Shang said to the arriving people with a natural look on his face: "I'm waiting for you."

"You now have control over Yuanxia Palace... no, the center of Baiye Kingdom. You can try this mechanism." Yuan Shang pointed to a stone platform mechanism in front of him and said to Ying: "I guess it must be once. Unbelievable experience.”

After listening to Yuan Shang's words, Ying touched the mechanism in front of him. Immediately, the luminous mechanism on the top of the Great Sun Yuyu quickly rotated. Suddenly, the light that illuminated Yuanxia Palace disappeared instantly, and at this time, the luminous mechanism also stopped. down.

When the sky suddenly turned dark, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Ghost, ghost!" Yuan Shang shouted.

"Wow!" Paimon was startled by Yushang, and then he saw this blue shadow.

This made Paimon couldn't help but complain: "I wasn't scared by this ghostly guy, but I was scared by Fuchikami!"

Yuan Shang spread his hands and said, "Ahem, it's embarrassing. I, I have already reacted."

"What, the attitude is really bad, there is no sincerity at all." Paimon crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly to Fuchikami.

"Due to its ghostly nature, Baiye Country will have projections of past memories."

Fuchigami explained: "Although their stories have ended, their personalities at that moment have been retained. They can even react to you."

"Such an overly strong emotion will be considered an eternal sin."

Ying asked doubtfully: "Sin?"

"That's why this strange earth vein phenomenon is called the sinful shadow, or the eternal spirit."

After Yuan Shang finished speaking, the phantom spoke: "So my appearance will be seen by the brave men of later generations, right?"

"Yeah, I know I don't need to be too nervous. My afterimage will act on its own based on my current memory in the future."

Xuying continued, minding his own business: "But, I'm still so nervous."

"Oh my God, you can speak now!" Fuchikami said in surprise.

"Ah, it seems that the hero has arrived. Hello, my sea creature's name is Aryu, and the original name of White Night Kingdom is Argos."

"I am responsible for conveying the next step of the trial. That is to restore the Bridle of Resurrection and demonstrate the kingship of the White Night."

"The Bridle of Susheng is a national treasure that can command the remnant souls of the underworld to speak. It is made of the same material as the Great Sun Yuyu."

"It needs to be further processed and assembled with the royal bridle as the core. Therefore, you also need to find three other fragments."

Hearing this, Paimon couldn't help but said: "Wow. Looking for fragments again."

As if the virtual image did not hear Paimon's words, he continued: "Ah, if you have any questions, you can ask them directly. I believe that the afterimage of the spirit I left behind can respond."

"Do you like to eat emergency food?" Ying asked.

"Then, what is that?" Yaliu asked doubtfully.

Not only Aryu was confused, but even Paimeng had a question mark on his head.

"You're not talking about me with this emergency food, are you?"

Ying replied: "Be confident, I'm talking about you."

Paimon: "."

"Since there is nothing more to ask, let's get back to the topic. The three fragments are hidden in the important cleaning areas surrounding the Great Sun Imperial Palace, namely the narrow streets, the Changye Temple and the place of snake heart."

Yaliu continued: "My use of Tibetan words is not an exaggeration at all. These officials responsible for arranging trials are really good at tormenting people."

Paimon pointed at the girl next to him with one hand on his hip and said, "Well, it sounds difficult to find her at first glance, but these trials will definitely not be a problem for our girl. She is really powerful."

fluorescent:"……"

During a discussion, Yingya obtained some useful information from Fuchikami and Aryu.

"You guys go look for the three fragments. I'll take a stroll here." After greeting a few people, Fuchangami disappeared again.

"Lisu!" After seeing Yuanshang leaving, Paimeng turned to look at Liusu next to him expectantly.

After Paimon finished speaking, Ying also looked at Liusu with an expectant look.

"Oh, help you, help you."

After Liusu finished speaking, she grabbed the void and three pieces appeared in her hand.

"Wow, Liusu, how do you know what the fragment is?" Paimon asked in confusion.

"Paimon, didn't Liusu say that before when he helped us find the key pattern? Have you forgotten it now?" Ying couldn't help but say.

Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Hey, that's right. I forgot about it. I'm sorry. It's mainly because I've been too busy these days. I just solved the problem with Heguan and came to Yuanxia Palace again. I'm now It’s not over yet.”

After listening to Paimon's words, Ying agreed with deep approval: "Hey, me too, I feel dizzy too. Fortunately, Liusu is there, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been tortured in Yuanxia Palace."

"Here, did you get the fragment so quickly? Your ability is really amazing." Yaliu said in surprise.

"I thought you could detect something from the adventure, but these are not important anymore. Please don't be shocked by what I will say next. Blood Branch Coral needs to be harvested from special deep-sea dragon lizards, and those deep-sea dragon lizards Just below this Great Sun Imperial Palace."

"The Deep Sea Dragon Lizard is down there?" Pamon asked in surprise.

Yaliu explained: "The dragon lizards we imprisoned below are a specially adjusted species. They can suppress the blood branch coral fragments of the Great Sea God without causing rejection."

"But because of these adjustments, they are also extraordinarily powerful and should not be easily killed at the push of a button."

"At the end of all orthodox trials, the brave must defeat the evil dragon."

Ying murmured: "The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon."

"Ying, what are you talking about?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Nothing, just some emotion." Ying shook her head and said.

Before, when she had nothing to do after eating, she thought about what would happen if Kong really defeated the throne in the sky. Would he be waiting for her at the end of the journey as he said?

After thinking for a long time, Ying still didn't understand, so on that day, she decided to ask Liusu.

"Well, I don't know if you have heard the story of the hero and the dragon." Liusu thought for a while and said.

Ying nodded and said, "I have heard it. Generally speaking, it is a story about a hero defeating a dragon and saving a princess. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Then have you ever heard a saying that a dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon?" Liusu continued.

"Why, how can a hero who slays a dragon become a dragon?" Ying asked puzzledly.

"Think about it carefully, why does the hero want to slay a dragon?"

"Of course, the dragon is doing evil, and someone has to stop it at this time, so there is a hero." Ying answered without thinking.

"Then think about it more deeply, Princess, the honor of the dragon slayer, the king's reward, if you don't have these, would you be willing to slay the dragon?"

"I think there should be some, right?" Ying thought for a long time and said.

"Yes, there are, after all, there have been so many people, or gods, in Teyvat, all of which are worthy of admiration, but what if the dragon is slayed successfully? Power and wealth are within reach. Morax once said that wear and tear is a terrible thing."

Ying said: "You mean, the hero will also sink in this situation and lose himself under the wear and tear of time."

Liu Su smiled and replied: "Yes, so, do you understand now? Once the hero sinks, he will become a monster like the evil dragon, and he will be more terrifying than the evil dragon."

"But, but" Ying struggled for a long time and didn't think of refuting Liu Su's words.

"So, what you need to do is not to become a hero, nor to become a dragon, you just need to be yourself, understand?"

Ying was silent after hearing Liusu's words: "."

Ying thought for a long time, and suddenly realized: "No, this is not what I want to become a hero, my goal is always the same, what I'm asking now is Kong's matter"

Liusu said lightly: "Then stop him from becoming a so-called hero and pull him out of the abyss."

Ying nodded and said: "I understand!"
