Chapter 82 Arrival at Hulao Mountain
The suburbs are particularly quiet at night. The chirping of insects under the moonlight is a color in the picture and it does not feel noisy at all.
Gu Sanqiu and Zhongli sat on the rocks, each holding a giant hamburger in their hands and eating it slowly.
The bread roasted over the campfire has a unique aroma, highlighting the high quality of the ingredients. When you put it in your mouth, you can also feel the freshness of the vegetables and the juiciness of the meat patties. It is a good meal when you are out.
"Brother Zhongli, I heard from Hu Tao that you seem to be more interested in vintage items. Are you more interested in knowledge about antiques?"
Zhongli had just finished a burger and took out a second one from the plate next to him.
"I read a lot of books, and I'm not just interested in old things. I'm also interested in novel things like this weapon."
"The reason why I prefer to buy things that are old is probably because I read a lot of ancient books. People nowadays pursue the 'now' represented by reputation and Mora, so they can only find common ground in those things."
Gu Sanqiu, who probably knew the reason, was silent for a while, then smiled at Zhongli.
"It's okay. My lineage of worshipping incense has been passed down since ancient times, and I have read quite a few ancient books. But if the time is right, I can still have a meal and chat with friends."
"If Brother Zhongli doesn't mind, you can come to my Gu's house to chat and eat when you have time. I will introduce you to some young people then."
"In this era, immersing ourselves in a sense of commonality or even identity is part of life, but we can also find new friends to chat with and new things to be interested in in this era."
"Maybe apart from the people in Wangsheng Hall, most of the people who found Brother Zhongli were there for work reasons. This may have intensified your desire to stay in some way, but work is only a part of life."
Gu Sanqiu began to count on his fingers: "Well, as long as they don't drag me to talk about work, Keqing is one of them, and there is also Hu Tao, the two brothers Chongyun and Xingqiu, my sister and Beidou, and so on."
Forget about Patriarch Qiqi. He seriously doubted that if these two guys met, they would be able to sit opposite each other for an entire afternoon without talking.
“You don’t have to give up part of your life, but don’t regard part of your life as your whole life either.”
Gu Sanqiu poured Zhongli a cup of Qingxin tea and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally said so much. I hope Brother Zhongli can forgive me."
Zhongli took the tea and said, "Well, that makes sense, but Hall Master Hu said that Brother Gu is fussy like an older sister, is that the reason?"
“…”
(▼皿▼#)
That little girl!
"This isn't nagging, this is caring, caring!"
Gu Sanqiu tried to defend himself: "This is just a little bit of my understanding through my own experience. You see, for those of us who practice cultivation, understanding is very precious. If it were an ordinary person, we would definitely not tell them."
"However, according to the general view of the younger generation today, those who speak like this in their group are indeed a symbol of being nagging."
…
He is very good at choking people.
You are worthy of it, Emperor!
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face. If he could defeat Master Zhong or even break his shield, he would have to let Zhongli practice with him.
When I get in touch with a guy who doesn't do his job properly, I will kidnap him and bring him to Liyue to keep you company, wasting your limited activity funds!
etc!
Gu Sanqiu's expression froze. If Mr. Zhong ran out of money, would I be the first person he found? !
"It's getting late. Let's take turns to keep watch. Brother Gu will keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll keep watch for the second half when you'll be more likely to get tired."
Gu Sanqiu smiled. He knew that this was the way the expressionless face expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Brother Zhongli."
Inside the tent, Gu Sanqiu put his hands behind his head: "Worn out?"
The old man's past experiences are really too long, and there are too many people and things worth remembering.
Although he is not the kind of person who would talk about these things all the time, Gu Sanqiu can feel that Zhongli is also a person who values friendship and loyalty, which is why he is often dragged into the past and falls into a state of reminiscing.
And what is it that concerns me?
…
"arrive."
Following Zhongli's calm words, Gu Sanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally escaped from Jueyunjian. Along the way, in order to prevent Zhongli from using the weapon of mass destruction in his hand, he concentrated all his attention on resisting the enemy.
As for Hulao Mountain...
What's wrong with the Emperor firing a few shots? What's wrong?
Brother Tuozi, if you have the guts, come out and beat me up~
Cough cough cough, forget it, forget it, it’s better not to set up things like flags casually.
If the rock ridge that seals Tuozi suddenly gets stuck, or Tuozi suddenly bursts out, then the flag I set up will probably be the epitaph that Hutao writes on her own grave.
Cause of death:
"Brother Zhongli, what should we do now?"
Gu Sanqiu was a little curious. With him by his side, Zhongli would not summon the rock ridge casually, so he was not sure what he was going to do next.
It's impossible to go directly in from the place where Zhou Ben was defeated.
"Well, let's go to the top of the Fulong tree. This is what the emperor said in his dream."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged.
Okay, okay, okay, you have the final say in your dream .
Zhongli put the sniper rifle on his back and climbed to the top of the tree with a few jumps. Gu Sanqiu stood there in a daze like a piece of wood. A breeze lifted him up and brought him to Zhongli's side.
"Judging from the classics, Brother Gu should be the most talented among the Fengxiang people."
Zhongli glanced at Gu Sanqiu and said, "You only need to mobilize your mental strength to use the power that can only be triggered by talismans. It's amazing."
"Brother Zhongli, thank you for your praise."
The Wangsheng Hall does have records of all the incense burners of all generations. It seems that before revealing one's identity, one should be honest in front of the master.
Gu Sanqiu cupped his hands and said, "So, what should we do next? Should we destroy this tree?"
…
"Why do you have such a dangerous idea? If you want to destroy the Fulong tree, wouldn't it be more convenient to destroy it directly from the root?"
"makes sense."
Zhongli spread out his right hand, and a ball of green gas emerged: "This is the main thing."
Gu Sanqiu moved closer curiously. There were scales outlined by blue lines on the green gas.
If the shape of the gas had not been constantly changing, he would have thought it was a work of art that had been touched out from somewhere.
"With the help of the secret method taught by the Emperor, I have extracted all the useful information about the 'dragon' from the dragon blue brick."
Zhongli said: "When it is noon, we will use this substance to pour down from the top of the Fulong tree with the help of the scorching sun. This is the purpose of our trip."
"So this is another way of watering, why did Brother Zhongli have to be so secretive and not tell me exactly what to do until now?"
"There are many people in Liyue Harbor, and this is done to keep it secret."
"I can't leave when the secret technique is being performed, but the scorching sun at noon will cause the power of this gas to explode, and spirit beasts and monsters will swarm in."
"Due to the special nature of Hulao Mountain, there shouldn't be many creatures coming here, but I can't be distracted to deal with them."
"When the time comes, we will need to rely on Brother Gu for the job of protecting the law."
