Chapter 766: Holy Relics - Gods and Demons
However, if you really want to do this, you have to be careful of the eccentric Master Hu.
This matter must not be discovered by the girl. God knows how many strange things the Hu family has arranged to protect the Wuwangpo area. Even if it is me, I might get caught if I am not careful.
So, it seems that I have to ask my father for an accurate map, which will help to carry out things.
Wuwangpo, I have a headache. That place is completely different from Heguan. It is impossible to carry out a large-scale funeral service for the deceased.
After all, that place strictly speaking belongs to a "weak barrier area", and it's not that those souls are trapped in this world and don't want to leave.
Even if there are souls with unfulfilled wishes, they are at peace in the "transit station" specially built by the Hu family, and it is not his turn to chant the mantra.
Moreover, Wuwangpo is too close to Qingce Village. If one is not careful, the impact will definitely affect everyone in Qingce Village, young and old.
"Headache."
Gu Sanqiu tapped his head with a pen in his mouth: "Sure enough, at times like this, I should listen to some gossip to relieve my stress."
Three days later, after a not-so-friendly job handover, Gu Sanqiu finally relaxed and ran to find Zhongli with a jar of fine tea.
"Dad, you should tell me now."
Zhongli glanced at Gu Sanqiu, or to be more precise, at the tea leaves in the other's hand.
"Well, after thinking about it, it's probably time. What do you want to ask?"
Gu Sanqiu got straight to the point: "Do I look exactly like Gu Shen? But before this, Inazuma clearly said that I am not the reincarnation of anyone, so I am very curious about this. Is it really a coincidence?"
"Yes, you are not the reincarnation of the little god."
Zhongli shook his head: "If you were the reincarnation of a minor god, and had gone through so many battles, and your opponents were among the best in the world , you would have already reached a higher level."
Oh my god, is that old ancestor so powerful?
Gu Sanqiu was shocked: "But I'm still curious. After all, we look the same, so it's fine. After seeing each other a few times, Ying can be sure that his temperament and mine are exactly the same. It's a bit exaggerated."
Zhongli finished his tea and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take you to a place where I can tell you the truth about the little god."
"Xiaoshen is still alive, but he is no longer Gushen."
"Come with me, let's go somewhere first."
The speed of both of them was beyond the reach of ordinary people, but their destination surprised Gu Sanqiu.
"Wuwangyinjiu Secret Palace, Dad, why did you bring me to this place? Go to the secret realm to make money?"
Zhongli waved his hand and said, "I'll wait for you here. Go down and get some relics out. Be quick."
"Okay."
Less than two minutes later, Gu Sanqiu came out carrying a pile of relics. Considering that his father might be doing some experiment, he went to different places and picked up a bunch of them.
"You are familiar with this place, right?"
"Ah, according to the records, it seems that they didn't know how to deal with the Chilong at that time, so they used the hidden door method to suppress it."
"Well, but in fact, there are relics of civilization under the secret realm. You should know this, so I won't go into details."
Zhongli said calmly: "For us, the so-called historical civilization is nothing more than our personal experience, or even something we created with our own hands."
"Inside the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, there is also the Wuwang Yinjiu Secret Palace. These are all related to the history of Liyue."
"Why have these holy relics been inexhaustible for so many years? It's because their essence is not real artifacts, but the crystallization of will and thought. "
"Human power will eventually reach its limit, but the fluctuations of the soul and the cry of the spirit will never stop. This is why holy relics can continue to appear."
"The power of the earth veins connected with them, and eventually turned into mysterious objects in the secret realm. This is the origin of the holy relics, of course, only in general terms."
Zhongli took out a tail feather. Judging from the pattern, it should be a gift from the Adventurer's Association to newcomers. As long as it is carefully preserved, it can be used as an heirloom. It is considered a relatively conscientious decoration.
"Similarly, after some artifacts are stained with your aura, they will be transformed into 'holy objects' that belong to you alone. If you want to enhance their abilities, you can only consume other crystals of will."
There was a flash of light, and Gu Sanqiu rubbed his eyes subconsciously. If he was not mistaken, the tail feather of the Adventurer's Association seemed to be brighter, and the holy relic he had just taken out had cracked.
"Strictly speaking, there is no strict classification of holy relics. The types under the five major categories are like a sea of sand."
Zhongli glanced at Gu Sanqiu and said, "Just like the Crow Seal of the Treasure Thieves and the emblem of the Fatui, these can all be considered holy relics if we judge from their essence."
"Perhaps the only difference is that their masters are still alive."
"…Is this a joke, Dad?"
"Exactly."
Zhongli nodded: "From a common sense perspective, if you don't care too much about this, you may not even know whether you already have the holy relic."
"In short, that is part of your strength, but your strength is definitely more than that."
"The improvement of the holy relics is also carried out according to the wishes of the master."
Zhongli shook his head: "But even if it is a lineage of cultivation, it is not completely single-minded in this regard, which means that various situations are prone to occur when improving."
"The first thought is to improve yourself to detect the enemy and increase the damage; but the second thought may become to improve defense capabilities, or nourish the essence of life."
"If you only train them as a tool to improve your strength, unsatisfactory results will often occur."
…
Good job.
Gu Sanqiu said that he had learned a lot. He had never paid much attention to things related to holy relics, but after all this time, he found out that this was the situation.
Can enhanced equipment be distorted in reality?
Although they are all useful, humans, with complex minds and countless thoughts, are obviously at a disadvantage in this regard.
However, if you were beaten up by a strong man some time ago, excluding the possibility that you put all your points into defense because you were afraid of pain, would you have developed a firm belief in "getting stronger and stronger"?
If possible, this would be a good way to strengthen, but it's a pity that the method is a bit life-consuming.
"Come on, now that you understand the nature of the holy relics, it's time to take you to see what the little god left behind."
Zhongli waved his hand and wrapped Gu Sanqiu into the Qianyan field.
After faking his death and escaping during the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, the huge dragon body no longer existed in the vast Qianyan Realm. Instead, what attracted Gu Sanqiu's attention was an object floating in the air that was constantly flashing a bloody light.
"Demon Slayer Feather, Immortal Killing Crown, Blood-Depleting Sundial, Thought-Exterminating Flower, Soul-Exterminating Bottle."
Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back: "This is what the little god left behind, the last holy relic that belonged to the first patriarch of the Gu family."
"The God and Demon suit is the most ferocious thing in the world."
"If it weren't sealed here, once this thing's power left Liyue, it could create a huge zone of death anywhere."
Gu Sanqiu swallowed his saliva and said, "I thought he was an old ancestor with an air of immortality."
The murderous aura of the holy relic alone was terrifying enough, and he almost felt unsteady on his feet in front of it.
How fierce am I?
"How can a little god be a fairy?"
Zhongli smiled calmly, memories flooding back to his mind.
"He is a demon, the demon among demons. In terms of murderousness and madness, no one can compare to him."
"In that era, it was impossible to cultivate immortals in the sense of the words used in today's works."
"Even if it's a demon god, his power will eventually run out, and it's impossible for him to take care of everyone."
"Only by transforming into a demon, being indoctrinated in killing, and cleansing one's body with demonic nature, can one lead the people to fight their way out of a path to peace."
"Maybe Xiaoshen has improved a lot since then, but that is his past that he cannot escape."
"He is not a demon god, but he is worthy of being called a demon god. He is the unparalleled commander Gu Shen, respected by all people. He is also the demon Gu, the killer Gu, feared by all enemies."
"He is a demon, but also a human. I am an endless mad demon in human form, working with us to eliminate the suffering of the people and create peace for Liyue."
