Chapter 77: Zhongli’s Visit
In the courtyard, Gu Sanqiu stopped Xingqiu who wanted to attack his giant pig hoof tree, and then helped him test the strength of his weapon.
"Well, as long as you don't chop at the shield of the Rock Shield Thug, there is basically no possibility of the blade getting bent."
“As for Chongyun, you can attach a layer of talismans to the big sword, and then use the power of the Eye of God to cover it with another layer. It won’t be a problem to cut anything.”
"Old Gu, where did you find this tree? It looks a little strange."
Chongyun looked at the big pig's hoof tree and said in amazement: "Well, it seems that we are still not experienced enough in traveling the world. Let alone seeing it, I have never even heard of it before."
"Tsk, if I knew this thing grew on a tree, I definitely wouldn't have eaten it."
Thinking of the man who tried desperately to get close to him, Xingqiu's body shook violently, and even the sword energy in his hand almost lost its balance.
"I think it's okay. At least my mental strength is much more stable now. If it still works, I don't mind trying it again."
Gu Sanqiu scooped up a ladle of clean water and poured it over the water: "It will definitely not be effective if you eat another one in a short period of time. It should be fine when you return to Liyue Harbor next time."
It's best not to give this thing out casually. He originally planned to give a pork elbow to a familiar friend of the opposite sex and Ningguang, but in the end he thought better of it.
With Ningguang and Beidou's personalities, I guess all the mental interference inside would kneel down, half singing "Conquer" and half shouting "Queen".
The same goes for Keqing. Master Niu Za's spiritual will is no joke.
Or to explain it from another perspective, if the mental strength is not so pure, it will not be able to withstand the pressure of frequent overtime work.
As for Chef Mao... Xiangling will probably ask him to try the food.
"By the way, you two are not going to leave yet? Do you want to get a free meal?"
"Tsk, I just saw you were always alone at home, so I decided to be merciful and stay with you for a while."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and said, "If you want to venture into the martial arts world, hurry up and don't use my yard to test your sword."
Just then, there was a regular knock on the door.
Xingqiu put away his weapon and opened the door. He saw a man with golden eyes standing at the door, looking at him calmly.
"Well, do you have guests coming? It seems like a bad time."
"Hey, no, no, no, you must be Zhongli, the guest official from the Wangsheng Hall. You came at the right time. We were just about to slip away."
"Goodbye, Sanqiu. Next time we come back, we'll bring you some local specialties from other places."
Xingqiu ran back and dragged Chongyun up with him. After saying hello to Gu Sanqiu, he turned around and ran away.
"Well, from a common sense perspective, am I disturbing you?"
Gu Sanqiu stood up to greet Zhongli: "No, they left so quickly because they simply felt it was impolite to stay here and delay my work."
"I see."
Zhongli nodded : "I wonder if Mr. Gu is free, I may need your help with something."
Gu Sanqiu bowed his hands earnestly: "You can talk as you like."
"Yesterday, the Emperor appeared in my dream and told me that the item in my hand, called Jiaolong Blue Brick, would be of great use. He asked me to come and ask you to go with him to deal with the matter."
…
Gu Sanqiu didn't even have the energy to complain.
The Emperor appeared in my dream?
It was a good reason, so good that he didn't even know how to complain about it.
I dreamed to myself?
Zhongli said this just to find an excuse, but Gu Sanqiu would definitely not be able to expose this matter, so he could only follow Zhongli's words and continue to perform.
"The Emperor's dream must be a very important matter. I wonder why he dreamed of Mr. Zhongli."
Zhongli's expression paused, then he placed his right hand on his chin.
Gu Sanqiu's face broke into sweat. Could it be that he came here without thinking of a good reason? Or was it that the incense burner simply wouldn't ask so many questions and wasn't as determined as he was to get to the bottom of things?
If this old man suddenly says, "I haven't thought of a reason yet," then whoever wants to act in the play can do it, because he doesn't have the heart to do so anyway.
"Because, at present, only Mr. Gu and I should be able to do this, because we are both people who have come into contact with that piece of Jiaolong Blue Brick, and we are also scholars who have some understanding of the previous era."
"I am not worthy of being a scholar. Since it is the order of the Emperor, my Gu family has no intention of refusing it."
Gu Sanqiu cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what it is. Can you allow me to pack my luggage and prepare some things for use?"
"Well, Master Hu said that Mr. Gu is a person who considers everything carefully. Now it seems to be true."
Zhongli said sternly: "The purpose of this trip is Hulao Mountain. The Emperor needs us to take the Jiaolong Qingzhuan with us. As for what to do, we will know when the time comes."
The corners of Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched violently.
Hulao Mountain?
Do you think I don't know what's in that place?!
And I have to bring that brick with dragon's foot? !
It's almost as if the words "Let's go find Ruota to play" are written on his face!
"Well, that's true. The Emperor often has his own deep meaning when he does this. It's better for mortals like us not to speculate too much."
"Please sit for a moment, Mr. Zhongli, while I pack up some things that may be of use."
Gu Sanqiu turned around and went underground: "I remember I put that thing here, where did it go..."
"Oh, I found it."
Gu Sanqiu took out a dark weapon from a storage box. The thick sight and muzzle seemed to be demonstrating its fighting power in the most violent way.
Item: "Broken One" sniper rifle
Source: War Hall Research Division
Note: This is a weapon made by the craziest of crazies in the War Hall. It is also one of the rare internal weapons that are prohibited from being tested. If you want to try it, you'd better prepare an excellent lawyer and a large amount of compensation .
…
When Gu Sanqiu saw the four big words "No gun testing allowed", he wisely put the thing underground and filled it with fine brocade and cotton.
Gu Sanqiu didn't want to try out a weapon that could even prohibit those so-called lunatics from testing it on their territory to see how powerful it was.
But now, it seems that it is time for this weapon to come into play.
Gu Sanqiu gently stroked the gun body: "You are so powerful that even Gold Finger said that you can't test the gun casually. If something really goes wrong, I hope your power can break that old man's defense a little bit."
There were all kinds of things that came out of his cheat code, and it was hard for him to judge how the strength of Teyvat compared to these things.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll give this thing to the old man, and give him the bullet enchantment formula as well."
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin subconsciously.
You know what, this might actually be an idea.
With Morax's talent, it wouldn't take much time to just enchant a bullet.
When the time came for this old man to really make a move, Gu Sanqiu drew three seconds of hatred in front, and old man Zhong fired directly at the target...
Heaven and Earth - Special condensed version of sniper rifle.
