287.Wendy Saw Her Own Hanging Statue

"Want to go in?"

Paimeng weakly flew behind Jiang Xuan and grabbed his clothes with his little hands.

"Jiang Xuan must protect Paimon."

Jiang Xuan laughed dumbly and was about to say something. Suddenly, Gan Yu on the side exclaimed.

"Over there! Qiuqiu people!"

Everyone was still very confused about Gan Yu's surprise. It was just a Qiuqiu man who was left behind, so they could just deal with it.

But everyone turned around and looked solemn instantly.

There were four or five Qiuqiu people, and they behaved very strangely.

The whole body exudes a black and purple aura that echoes this place.

He walked towards this side swaying but very determinedly.

Dadalia drew his bow and arrow, but Zhongli waved his hand to catch it.

With a serious look on his face, Zhongli said in a deep voice:

"Don't move yet!"

They seemed to ignore everyone's presence and walked straight through the human wall.

When he reached the gate, he suddenly did something that no one expected.

"People from Qiuqiu... are you worshiping?"

Ying looked at the Qiuqiu man who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed with some surprise. He could not see his face, but he was extremely pious.

Taking three steps and one kneeling, he walked firmly towards the inside.

"It looks so weird... I have never seen such a record even in the Order Academy!"

Lisa's eyes flickered, and the scholar's research desire was instantly aroused, and she glanced at Jiang Xuan.

The latter nodded.

"Follow me!"

Everyone did not dare to be careless and took out their weapons.

This place didn't feel very dangerous to them, but it was extremely weird.

It's better to be careful.

The interior of the ruins was pitch black, with only the faint flickering candlelight visible.

Purple-black energy spreads everywhere, and there are even some weird crystals on the ground.

Everyone followed behind the Qiuqiu people and groped forward.

After passing a corner, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"More Qiuqiu people?!"

"They all worship here? Is this some kind of sacred place for the Qiuqiu people?"

Paimon cautiously stuck out his head and muttered, Lisa said helplessly:

"Although there is no basis for it, your statement is indeed somewhat reasonable.

Not far away, there were several slimes jumping towards everyone.

Dadalia shot a few arrows with his backhand and said softly:

"It seems that slimes are not affected, or...that only Qiuqiu people are affected? But why?

Zhongli and Wendy looked at each other and said softly:

"Do you still remember how the Qiuqiu people were formed?"

"I know!"

Ying thought for a while and said slowly:

"Five hundred years ago, Kanria was destroyed, and the heavens cast an immortal curse. The citizens of Kanria formed the Qiuqiu people!"

"wrong!"

Gan Yu shook his head.

"If Kanria was destroyed, the Qiuqiu people were only created five hundred years ago, but in fact, during the Demon God War, the Qiuqiu people already existed.

"It's just that after the Kanria incident, there were more people in Qiuqiu."

Ningguang frowned and thought of something.

"So, a long time ago, the laws of heaven destroyed many countries, and the people of those countries became..."

"That's right."

This time, Wendy nodded.

"The ancient country in the Snow Mountains was destroyed by the Heavenly Nails sent down by Heavenly Law because they saw the secret of Heavenly Law, and its citizens turned into Qiuqiu people«]]."

"The ancient country of White Night under Inazuma Kaiji Island has a history far beyond the birth of the devil, and it was also destroyed by the laws of nature...

"Many countries have been destroyed by Heavenly Law, and those Qiuqiu people, to be precise, were born after the appearance of Heavenly Law."

"Those Qiuqiu people were originally human beings."

Everyone was inexplicably creepy.

"If you think about it this way..."

Ying pursed her lips and whispered:

"It seems that the laws of heaven are more evil than the abyss. y

"Hey!"

Wendy spread her hands and said with a smile:

"I don't think Tianli is a good person either."

"So, you are trying to say that the things in this may even affect people?"

Ningguang thought of something and looked at Wendy and Zhongli with some solemnity.

The two nodded.

"No matter what, be careful. After finishing the matter, go out and seal this place.

Fortunately, there are usually not many people coming to Mount Aozang, so it saves a lot of worry.

Everyone continued to move forward, past the craftsman who was still confused.

Midway, Diluc even pushed the Qiuqiu man, but the latter still had no reaction.

Completely immersed in your own world.

Dadalia originally wanted to kill one to see, but was stopped by everyone.

These Qiuqiu people are essentially a group of poor people.

If you encounter someone at ordinary times, you'll just kill him. It's self-protection.

But now, if they don't attack, it's better not to do it.

Passing through layers of passages, I met hundreds of Qiuqiu people on the road, just like those before.

Worship sincerely and without distraction.

Three steps and one kowtow makes people more and more creepy.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone stood in front of a gate.

There were many strange symbols engraved on the door. They were not Teyvat characters, and even Zhongli didn't recognize them.

A small crack was opened at the door, and a layer of blue light curtain blocked everything inside. Qiuqiu people entered from here.

"Want to go in and have a look?"

Ke Qing glanced at Jiang Xuan beside her.

The latter shrugged.

"Come here... let's go."

Having said that, Jiang Xuan took the lead and entered it.

Others followed.

This light curtain gave no one any feeling, and without any obstruction, everyone entered the gate.

Behind the gate is a spacious square, where the black energy is particularly strong.

The Qiuqiu people stayed on the periphery, knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly, without going any further.

The smell of blood reached everyone's noses.

Mandrill immediately frowned.

"There's a problem, be careful!"

After saying that, he swung his spear and stood in front of everyone.

After glancing at Zhongli, Mandrill took a deep breath and took the lead past the Qiuqiu people towards the distant core surrounded by purple-black energy.

After only walking a few dozen meters, Mandrill immediately froze on the spot.

He looked up at the weird thing in the sky.

Mandrill swore that he had never seen such an outrageous existence in his life.

A statue of God!

A statue of a god hanging upside down!

It’s not Zhongli’s statue of the Seven Heavens!

The statue of the god was upside down and hung upside down in the sky by chains. The originally holy feeling became extremely weird.

In the middle of the statue is a core exuding strange energy.

It seems that this is the weird aura exuding from this core.

"That is...………"

Qin's eyes were full of shock, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Wendy's...Seven-Heaven Statue?!"

Ke Qing shouted in disbelief, and everyone turned to look at Wendy.

The latter's originally optimistic expression turned a little cold at this time.

After all, he is also the god of wind, and the statue of the Seven Heavens God is his representative.

Although he doesn't care about the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue, at least...

You can't insult him like that, can you?

Stealing his idol from Mondstadt and sending it to Liyue, forget it.

He also hung his idol upside down.

The most abominable thing is, what weird experiments were done with his idol?

No matter how good-tempered you are, you will still get angry if you are insulted like this.

Diluc and others were also a little angry.

Although Wendy, the god of wind, was too free, after all, it was Mond's face.

In front of so many people, the statue of the Seven Heavens God was hung upside down. Isn't this a slap in the face?

"What on earth is the Abyss Religion doing?"

Lisa frowned tightly, everything in front of her was completely beyond her scope of cognition.

Wendy curled her lips in displeasure.

"I should say, what on earth does that guy Sora want to do?"

"I don't remember that the contract I signed with him included the clause of stealing my statue!"

Ying was a little embarrassed and said weakly:

"Feel sorry....."

"Why do you want to apologize? It's not your fault."

Qin sighed and rubbed his brows with a headache.

"One code, one code, we won't vent our anger on you just because you are Kong's sister."

"But no matter what, he is still my brother..."

Ying muttered something in a low voice, but no one paid attention.

Mandrill endured the discomfort in his heart and walked towards the bottom of the statue.

There were three people dressed as Liyue lying there, which was also something that Ningguang and the others were worried about.

There is a strange atmosphere here, as if it is some kind of evil sacrificial place.

If innocent Liyue people were affected, it would be a big trouble.

Qi Liyue must find a way to seek justice if she can't protect her.

But the abyss...

It's not easy to find.

Mandrill slowly knelt down to check, then turned around and said:

"They are all dead, it should have been a while."

Ke Qing rubbed her brows with a headache and said in a deep voice:

"Can you tell who it is? Could it be from Qingce Village?"

Mandrill shook his head.

"Looking at his attire, he must be a member of the treasure-stealing group.

Hearing this! Ningguang and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they are not ordinary Liyue people, that's fine.

As for the treasure stealing group......

It doesn't matter whether he dies or not.

Anyway, Liyue caught the people who stole the treasure, so some of them will be there for the rest of their lives.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference between dying in a cell and dying here.

"Can you tell how he died?"

Zhongli asked softly, Mandrill gently opened the body, frowned and looked at it for a moment, then responded:

"The two on the left only have external injuries but no internal injuries. The wounds are on the head. It seems...that they were killed by kowtow?"

Mandei clicked his tongue slightly, a little weird.

Zhongli's heart sank and he sighed:

"This place really confuses people. No wonder I feel very irritable now... It would be better to destroy this place in the future."

"What about the other one?"

Hearing this, Mandrill glanced at Keli and the others. Gan Yuliuyun on the side understood clearly, took Keli, Nasida and the others and turned around and left the square.

After making sure they couldn't hear, Mandrill said in a deep voice:

"The death is a bit tragic

"The blood has been drained, the internal organs have been corroded, and the face is hideous. It seems that he suffered great torture before death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimeng exclaimed and got into Jiang Xuan's arms, covering his eyes and trembling.

Jiang Xuan rubbed Paimeng's head and sighed:

“What kind of outrageous way to die is this? So, is it really an evil sacrificial place?”

"Not necessarily lying down."

Zhongli shook his head and said softly:

"Maybe it's the weird energy source on the upside-down statue."

"Anyway, let's destroy the sphere first, and then explore the surrounding area to see if there's anything strange about it."

Hearing this, Mandrill nodded, stretched out his hand, and the dark wind swept over and piled the corpses to the other side.

Then he continued to explore behind the statue.

Zhongli waved his hand and asked Xieyue and others to follow Mandrill in case they encountered any danger.

After doing all this, everyone approached the hanging upside down statue.

But the closer she got, the stronger the power to confuse people, and Wendy's expression became more and more unhappy. .
