Chapter 1146: Stone Root Text, Exercise of Wisdom

Ying and Paimeng looked up, but there was no movement from Suganayama over there.

After all, according to history, Thunderbird is dead.

Along the way, they didn't see anything flying by.

After hearing this, the priest who was about to let Aru wander around outside for a while changed his mind and sent people to look for Aru in places like Hukai Beach, Ukina Beach, and Otake-no-no.

The fog in these places is thicker than normal and can be very dangerous, but Ru seems to like it.

In the field of Otake, Aru met Lord Thunderbird for the first time.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng listened to the information revealed by the priest in communication with the people around him.

The priest said that Aru would go fishing with others at Huosai Beach and pick up shells with others at Uuna Beach.

The people around were very angry. They regretted not following the practice of their predecessors and giving water and food for three days and exiling her outside the fog sea to the woman who talked about the world outside the fog sea all day long and played with Aru.

Otherwise... they mentioned the disappeared "Afu".

The priest stopped everyone's restlessness, saying that he had to prepare for the arrival of the thunderbird and asked them to help find Aru.

"The place names in Tsuru-kan are so troublesome... Besides, Aru asked us to come here. But these people are going to look for Aru." Paimon was confused. "Didn't Aru say that she was going to prepare for the festival? Where did she go to prepare?"

"The magical and invincible Jiang Yi..." Paimon looked at the omnipotent adventurer's assistant.

"If you don't use your brain, you will be dumber than the plants I raise in the cave." Jiang Yi said. The plants he was referring to were elemental plants, such as the Frost Tree and the Explosive Tree. In order to support Sugar's research, he had cultivated these two kinds of intelligent monsters.

"If you don't want to help, then don't help! Why are you insulting me?" Paimon crossed his arms.

Now, she has developed a considerable resistance to Jiang Yi's ridicule.

"Alas! Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease; honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but is beneficial for action." Jiang Yi felt very ashamed. As a being who controls the laws of wisdom, he cannot stimulate Paimeng's wisdom.

Bickering between Jiang Yi and Paimeng has become a daily occurrence.

Ying just smiled and said, "Let's go and check out three places."

The three of them first came to the nearest Huoshi Beach, which was located southeast of the sacrificial site. The coast was vast, and outside the fog, the sea was rough, which was suitable for fishing.

There is also a Thunderbird statue here.

When looking through an ice goggles, a figure appears, explaining the tricks of fishing to an invisible person.

The invisible man seemed to be able to sing.

"I'll teach you how to fish..."

"However, when you grow up, you must teach me the secrets of the stone root writing. After all, this is the knowledge passed down from generation to generation in your priest family."

……

"The figure disappeared." Paimon scratched his head.

Everyone headed to the northern coast of Ukina.

There were some large stones with ancient purple characters engraved on them that looked like lightning.

"Are these the stone root characters?" Ying guessed.

"Another new language!" Jiang Yi could no longer remember how many languages ​​of Teyvat he had learned.

Paimon took out the ice mirror to look at the other Thunderbird statues.

"...So the stone root characters have this ability, and are they related to the earth veins? Quite unexpected."

"You're right. The priests in the past had quite a sense of humor."

The same person is talking to an invisible person.

The invisible person seemed to be asking the other person why he liked fishing. The other person replied that although he could not go beyond the foggy sea, when he thought about the sea being connected to the outside world, the island didn't seem so small after all.

And when fishing, I also caught various other things.

For example, I know that you, Ru, like to sing secretly.

"Could it be that the invisible person is Aru?" Paimon was surprised.

"Jiang Yi, why can't your magic make A'lu invisible?" She looked puzzled again. With Jiang Yi's ability, this shouldn't be possible!

"I did it on purpose!" Jiang Yi's words sounded very annoying to Paimeng.

"Ying, aren't we here to accompany Jiang Yi in archaeological research and learn ancient characters?" Paimeng wanted to find a helper, and said to Ying who was pondering the "stone root characters".

"These stones with words on their roots are a bit strange, and there are traces of the stones moving on the ground. Based on my adventuring experience, this may be a clue to a treasure." Ying said.

"Treasure? Ahem! No! We are just looking for clues about Aru." Paimon was very tempted, but still found an excuse.

It wasn't an excuse, because she thought it was very important to find clues about Aru.

Jiang Yi said that if she didn't use her brain, she might be able to guess Aru's information before Ying and surprise everyone.

"I remember Aru said that sequence is important. So, if the order of the stones is messed up..."

"Aru is here too. Since she's a priest's child, they probably won't allow it..."

"What, you want to join in too...? I knew that Ru isn't such a pedantic person!"

New scenes and new dialogues reached everyone's ears.

"Aru is from the priest's family... and Grandpa, the real Grandpa!" Paimon noticed this, "Before, Aru seemed to have called out, Dad, but she took it back."

"Paimon..." Ying reminded.

"Oh!" Paimon shut up.

"Stone Root Characters" condensed with magic power appeared in Jiang Yi's hands, and he felt the power of these ancient characters.

"Is it related to the ley lines?"

These words vaguely stimulate the energy of the earth's veins.

These thunderbird statues, these stones, and these mechanisms all seem to be built with this in mind.

"It's really interesting. It makes me happy to think about the future priests who touch the stones here according to the records and end up being confused."

In the video, the man smiled happily, but "Afu" was a little dissatisfied and felt that this was not a good thing.

Then we talked about the world outside the sea of ​​fog and the past.

"In the world beyond the fog, there should also be green land and people; before the Thunderbird, there were also people and history."

"Someone should still record the events of our village."

Afu opened his mouth.

With his sense of direction, he should be able to leave the sea of ​​fog.

Sudden.

Jiang Yi looked at the fog.

"Golden Apple Islands..."

He thought of the Golden Apple Islands shrouded in mist last year.

Ying saw the three fairies and pondered for a moment.

After fiddling with the stones with "stone root text" for a while, the stones, which had power because of the text, began to move automatically after being touched, moving along the pressed marks.

She restored the sequence of the stones bit by bit.

A new image appears here.

"Oh, A'ru, you have to grow up quickly. If you were a priest, you should be able to lead everyone out of the sea of ​​fog and see the outside world... I wonder if I can wait until that day?" a woman said expectantly.

"Aru is the future priest, no wonder she knows some things that an ordinary child shouldn't know." Paimon felt that he had solved a mystery.

"The writing of the priests..." Walking in Heguan and listening to the history, Jiang Yi can naturally explore the secrets of the priests and learn this ancient writing in the process.

Most of the ancient characters of Teyvat are spiritual and powerful, and the very writing of them is a curse.

The ancient script of Liyue, the words of the Abyss, and the words on the secret realm...

Only by understanding the text can you understand the secrets of history.

Only then can it evolve, perhaps it is the root of everything, the "Spirit of Words" that controls the world.

Another way is to find the World Tree and perform the ceremony.

Jiang Yi ponders a secret to increase his strength.

Legend has it that someone in Teyvat once obtained the power to control the world in this way.

In the video, the woman continues to speak.

She has met people outside.

Someone came to the island, got lost in the fog and fell, and told her a lot about the outside world.

"The outsiders said he came from an island on the other side of the sea. There was no fog on that island. It was all green land, blue sky and golden sun."

For people who have lived in Heguan all their lives, this is a very magical and unimaginable thing.

"The Thunderbirds always fly from our island to his island, and he can't help but want to see what our island looks like."

……

After a long conversation, the woman asked someone.

"How about you come with me? I think this place is too depressing."

Although Paimon couldn't see the person who was invited, he knew it was Aru.

Jiang Yi also looked forward.

Strength is the medium for realizing hope and miracles. He seizes every second of opportunity to make progress. However, thinking about strength does not mean that he forgets to pay attention to the words around him that need to be heard.

"Grandpa isn't a bad person, but he probably just doesn't dare to doubt what his ancestors said..." The woman was already prepared to go to the outside world, but when she saw Aru shaking her head to refuse her, she felt helpless.

After checking again and again, he still couldn't pull Aru away.

"...I don't like the idea of ​​having to sacrifice people to Thunderbird. And, I don't think Thunderbird would like that either, right?"

This sentence was met with another rejection from Aru.

"Dedicated to?" Paimon didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. What kind of dedication did it mean that made people dislike it.

Ying frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"Let's go back to the sacrificial site and take a look!" she decided.

Everyone rushed back.

"Everyone disappeared again." Paimon stamped his feet.

I felt like I had been tricked twice by Inazuma's hateful, illusion-capable raccoon.

"What will you decide next?" Jiang Yi said meaningfully, "Stay here, or go and hand in the wooden reed flute first?"

Ying closed her eyes slightly.

The wooden reed flute confirmed by Jiang Yi can definitely be taken out to report. There is also a person named "Afu" over there who is obviously related to the "Afu" here. Perhaps we can get a lot of clues, even the truth about Heguan.

but……

"I want to stay." She opened her eyes and said firmly.

"Congratulations, you have broken through the cycle of reincarnation!" Jiang Yi clapped his hands.

"Now, with my prompting, think about it again! What is the abnormality of Heguan's leyline? Just think of it as an exercise in wisdom before going to the Kingdom of Wisdom."
