Chapter 758: The truth, the talisman, Jiujin, be careful behind you

We are the outcasts.

We are gifted people.

In Feimu Village, under the awning, everyone received the bowl of wheat porridge that Jiang Yi distributed for free today.

Warm, piping hot, and fragrant.

They ate slowly and reverently.

Ying and Paimeng finished sharing the porridge: "Jiang Yi, what are you going to do next? Are you just going to wait here for other patients to arrive?"

"No! I will take the initiative to save some patients who have gone mad..." Jiang Yi shook his head, "Also, didn't you hear from Bao Ben that it was the Coral Palace resistance that destroyed the talisman that suppressed the remains of the Great Snake?"

"Yes! They are so bad. They caused such a disaster. It's completely different from the righteous resistance rumored. No wonder you don't like them and didn't join them directly." Paimeng interrupted angrily before Jiang Yi finished speaking.

"Actually, it's not quite right." Jiang Yi shook his head, "At least not completely right. The truth in it is a little off, but Coral Palace cannot escape responsibility."

"I plan to find evidence that represents the truth, and then talk to the Coral Palace."

"Next, let's go see the remains of the Great Snake, see the village chief of this Feimu Village... and there are many sad stories on this Bayun Island."

He sighed deeply. Every step he took, every scenery he saw, and every history he learned about were all part of his time, part of Teyvat's time, a part that should not be buried.

Uncover the truth, turn over time.

There is no need to attain enlightenment. I just follow my heart and every step is on the right path.

"The truth is a little bit off?" Paimon wondered.

Ying recalled something Jiang Yi had told her: "Just like people say that the explosion of the Talingsha was caused by the resistance, but it was actually done by the Fatui. Is there something else going on?"

"Almost!" Jiang Yi stood up and told Changci and several adults, "If there are any patients coming, send them some food and let them wait here for me to come back."

He calculated the time. Based on the walking speed of the other patients on the island, he should be able to meet them when he came back after finishing his work.

He left behind the golden-armored warrior and the stone figurine, and left with Ying and Paimon.

The three of them looked at the remains of the giant snake and the strange devices on the island.

"Those nail-like, slender devices with lamp-like tops were the ones that once suppressed the remains of the great snake, but they were destroyed by the Coral Palace."

"The aura of the evil spirit brought dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun, and continuous torrential rain. The remaining power of the talisman brought the never-ending and violent bombardment of lightning to Bayun Island..."

Jiang Yi pointed at the huge devices emitting purple light and said.

"Can it be repaired?" Ying asked.

"Sure!" Jiang Yi nodded. "There's a guy over there, a co-worker of Changci's father. He left a note next to the talisman, saying that I can ask him if I have any questions."

"This is a familiar feeling, just like the commission from the Adventurer's Association." Paimon chuckled, "If it's a commission, leave it to me and Ying! Jiang Yi, you can go do what you need to do, and we'll help repair the talisman. As for the truth, we'll help investigate it."

"Oh! Thank you for your help." Jiang Yi said with a smile, "I am indeed a little busy."

"Leave it to me!" Ying said.

"Well! Then you guys better be careful." Jiang Yi said.

"I know! These strange nail-like devices are called lamp posts! There are stone lanterns on top. They do emit a very disturbing energy." Paimon nodded, "... It makes people feel weird and uncomfortable."

"Then let's split up! I'll go treat those seriously ill people affected by the 'Evil God'." Jiang Yi looked into the distance, "This talisman requires traveling all over the Baying Island, which is a tedious task. Remember to use the teleportation anchor point to come back and rest."

"I know. I'm good at this kind of big project." Ying put her hands on her hips. She was recognized as an outstanding adventurer and decipher of ancient ruins in Mondstadt and Liyue.

Jiang Yi left with peace of mind.

"It's finally our turn. We haven't been able to help much this time. We have to do a good job this time." Paimeng has been holding back her anger for a long time. She feels embarrassed to be lazy when she sees Jiang Yi busy every day.

"Let's go find the person Jiang Yi mentioned first." Ying looked at the huge architectural ruins, the blue water ball barrier in the center of the ruins, and the surrounding talismanic devices.

There is also Lei Ling nearby.

A strange elf surrounded by purple light, flying as fast as lightning, winding and turning back.

Soon, Ying and Paimeng found the worker, learned some information, and went to deal with the talisman with full confidence.

"The worker said that you must be careful when approaching the talisman. If you look at it, it will release a burst of energy towards you... Although it is harmless, it makes people feel uncomfortable, as if... it is rejecting you."

"The talisman seems to be missing some parts. Perhaps we can fix it by putting back the missing parts." Paimon offered advice.

Ying pondered and began to decipher and repair.

On the other hand, Jiang Yi continued to treat the madmen on the island.

After half a day.

The clever Ying finally figured out how to repair the talisman.

It is necessary to adjust the direction of the pillar's illumination, and finally use force to trigger the first glowing pillar to make it emit lightning. After the lightning is transmitted, it will break the water barrier and obtain the glowing gems full of lightning elements called "Pillar Inlaid Beads" by the worker and the purple diamond-shaped crystals of "Pillar Stabilizing Stone".

"In order to destroy the talisman, they really took great pains to seal the fragments of the talisman and hide them so well." Paimon felt his brain and legs were tired.

"There are still enemies interfering with us." The glow sword was stained with blood, "It seems that someone does not want us to carry out the repairs."

As the restoration of the first talisman was completed, the clouds in the sky could be seen when looking up, and they had obviously dissipated a lot.

If there really is an enemy, it will inevitably attract the other party's attention, and things will become more difficult later.

"We've finished here. What's left are the Serpent God's Head and the Serpent Bone Mine, as well as the Nameless Fort that the worker mentioned..." Paimon sighed near the Wuxiang Blade Gorge, "We need to run around."

"Stop sighing and go." Ying urged.

Over there, Jiang Yi had almost finished treating all the patients, and the remaining patients whose conditions were not serious were waiting for them to go to Feimu Village on their own.

Kill the monster infected by the "evil spirit".

He moved towards the higher place step by step.

Next to the ferocious head of the snake god, there is a shrine.

Next to the shrine, there sat a figure dressed as a sea demon wearing purple-gray armor, complete with a helmet and armor.

He was holding a knife enchanted with the element of lightning, kneeling on the ground, looking at Jiang Yi who was coming up.

"The head of the Hinomiya Village, Washizu."

Jiang Yi stared at the murderous and bloody figure and spoke softly.

"Are you here to pay homage?" Washizu asked in a hoarse and gentle voice, but there was also a subtle madness in it.

This person actually knew him.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but looked at the shrine.

Waves of resentment lingered on the shrine, eventually transforming into a sound that ordinary people could not perceive.

"Watch your back!"

Jiu Jin looked at the silent Jiang Yi and said, "You disturbed me and 'him' as well."

Jiang Yi didn't say anything.

Washizu showed some kind of relief: "'He' is very unhappy. He is unhappy that the disturbance of the tongue obscures the wisdom of the 'words of the heart'."

"The words of the mouth are like a sudden rain, which shakes the eardrums and disturbs the mind. But the words of the heart are like mist, which comes naturally and permeates into the mind..."

"However, you stopped talking in time, which is good."

"Look, just like this, you and I listen carefully together."

"'He' is listening, 'He' is talking."

Jiujin looked at Jiang Yi with great satisfaction.

"Don't listen with your mouth, don't listen with your ears, listen with your heart..."

“Come, come here, worship, pray, and listen.”

"You have to worship Sanfan. Remember, Sanfan."

The sea breeze, carrying a moist breath, brushed Jiang Yi's cheek. In the distance, a seabird chirped and merged into the lonely cloud. The hazy sound of whales came from the distant sea, but was drowned out by the swaying sound of the surrounding grass leaves. Somewhere not far away, fireflies were buzzing, and these little creatures occasionally made soothing crackling sounds.

"I heard the sounds of nature..." Jiang Yi smiled and described the sound of life that came after the talisman was repaired. The clouds became thinner, the thunder weakened, and so on.

"It's not this, it's not these..." Washizu shook his head, "We should listen to 'his' teachings."

"Oh? I am not blessed enough and haven't heard any teachings." Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Apart from the sounds of nature, he could only hear the resentment from the past, the unattainable wishes, the sighs of the defeated... the roars, the frenzy, the "words of God" that advocated killing.

"You didn't perform the worship!" Jiujin stared at Jiang Yi.

The voice was somewhat angry and gloomy.
