Chapter 962: Wish, the Lord of Blessings

A new day, early morning.

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and slowly woke up.

He used all his strength to suppress the remaining demons, and began to become sleepy like a mortal.

Reaching out to hold the teacup, lines of ancient runes flowed across his skin and then disappeared.

"I almost ended up in a wheelchair like before." He washed his face. Fortunately, this time it was a seal of his own power rather than a seal of external force. The impact on his actions was not that great, and it was up to him to unlock it as much as he wanted.

However, the more you unlock, the easier it is for the demon remnants in your body to run wild.

Dreams are also easily affected at night.

That dark, damp and oppressive dream of hatred had affected the people of Guiliyuan and Ogihuazhou, and now he was the only one to bear it.

Tsk! The best horror movie in Teyvat.

Jiang Yi lowered his head.

Around his neck, there was a small plum blossom wooden tablet dangling. It was a calming tablet provided by the head of the Wangsheng Hall. It was engraved with the "secret calming method" of the Wangsheng Hall, which was specifically designed to calm the mind, exorcise evil spirits, and suppress resentful spirits and evil ghosts.

Raise your wrist.

There is an exquisitely woven red rope on the wrist, which is the magic skill "Red Rope Binding Soul" of Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

At the waist, there is a golden bell hanging outside the cave. The bell has the magic of clearing the mind and soothing the soul. It came from senior sister Ganyu.

At the same time, there are also some snake-patterned amulets hung here, which were given back by Xiao after he took the mooncakes. They are the same ones that the Monkey King has on his waist.

Next came a blue jade pendant, swaying gently.

Looking at the other side, there are several talismans of a hundred ghosts and a Yandora water bottle.

"Sigh..." Jiang Yi sighed and walked out of the room.

After playing too late yesterday, Ying and Paimeng followed back to the Yujingtai courtyard and hadn’t gotten up yet.

Looking at the door again, I saw a couplet posted by Hu Tao.

"One chopstick to eat, two wheels to cook, three meals to enjoy, famous all over the world, with all five flavors."

"The six emotions are connected with the seven immortals, and the fragrance spreads from all directions to the nine heavens, making it perfect."

“Food and mountains and rivers.”

Jiang Yi looked at the flamboyantly written characters. After a second look, the characters seemed to jump out of the paper.

Looking at the sky.

"Master is going to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and Mond to continue to experiment with the object-finding function of the cooking machine in different locations, and at the same time experiment with cooking different ingredients."

"Chongyun's Pure Yang Body was aroused by Xingqiu's Jueyun Pepper Mooncake. He is probably practicing at home now. Xiangling Guoba, Yunjin Xinyan, Keqing Ningguang, Yanfei Qiqi, Zhongli Yaoyao, Grandma Ping..."

He recalled whether he had sent all his friends back safely last night.

"Yeah! Yaoyao's osmanthus mooncakes are the best. Hutao's are... the most... the most unique."

Jiang Yi curled his lips, and Paimeng cried while eating the mooncake with a funny face.

"Yan Fei... I didn't expect that after so long, she still remembered about her last birthday. She didn't receive a gift before, so after we made up for it, she was thinking about it for a long time. Now I asked her about it... and gave her a return gift."

He thought about the gift Yan Fei had given him, a hardcover law code whose meaning was unclear.

After standing here for a while, thinking about the story of "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" that he told everyone last night, Jiang Yi took out the outdoor cave and walked into it.

Step by step, I came to a hillside full of blooming flowers, looking at the tombstone of the Salt God and the girl standing quietly in front of the tombstone.

The girl had long, smooth snow-white hair, and wore simple and ancient clothes. She was barefoot, and her exposed skin was crystal clear, flawless and pure, like a beautiful sculpture.

"Heulia!" Jiang Yi called softly.

The girl looked at him, her eyes were ethereal and crystal clear, as flawless as her body.

"Yeah!" She nodded in a low voice.

There was no divine aura about her, she looked like an ordinary girl.

Jiang Yi looked at the Salt Goddess and slowly walked to her grave.

On the tombstone, salt crystals are blooming with beautiful salt flowers, yet underneath the hardness, there is a kind of fragility that seems to collapse at the slightest touch, just like the girl next to it.

Behind the strong appearance lies a soft heart.

Last night, when he went to the Salt of the Earth to pick up Heulia to avoid everyone, he saw this girl with slender shoulders, dark eyebrows and petite body, looking at the past in confusion, the last shelter and the last land after her endless retreat.

And... the people who were salted by her power and the secret realm of salt in the ground that is an exhibit of Liyue ruins.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Jiang Yi asked. Since coming to the outdoor cave last night, except for looking at the glazed lily flower sea for a while, Heulia has not stepped out of the cave.

Heulia's eyes wavered slightly, but she still shook her head: "Let me stay here for a while! This secluded cave is a place of peace and tranquility that I have never experienced before."

She wanted to say, "I and my people"... But think about it, she escaped from everything, so where would her territory and people be? When she died, everything was lost.

This remembrance of the past is no longer appropriate today.

Look at the pavilions and towers on the Dongtian Fairy Island, look at the strange amusement park, look at the dreamy forests and waters where all kinds of creatures live... unfamiliar things, unknown things, distant things.

In heaven and earth, there is a loneliness facing the gods.

"You came here in response to my dream..." Jiang Yi shook his head, "I respect your choice, but... I hope you can get out of this cave."

Heulia's request to stay for a while was more like an excuse.

In her heart, she felt guilty for killing her people and wanted to escape from the outside world.

A loser, no! It should be during the Demon War, when the demons in the mortal world used all their strength and wisdom to fight for the continent of Teyvat. The evaders who chose to escape and compromise, thinking that as long as they gave up before the fight, the war would never affect themselves and their people... How could they be qualified to enjoy the peace and stability of today?

Under the order of another god.

Jiang Yi looked at Heulia: "I will give you a message from Morax."

"'In the era of the Demon War, the standards for judging good and evil were different from those of today. I now hope that you can be born in a more gentle era.' This is what Morax said when he came to the Salt of the Earth and worshiped you."

"That's what I hope for." Jiang Yi said gently, "Although this is an era that is a little bad, it is gentle enough. To people, gods, monsters, ghosts..."

Heulia looked up: "Including your fight with Narukami?"

"..." Jiang Yi felt that Heulia was being argumentative, but she did learn from Yan's memory everything that happened when she used her power.

"Ahem!" He laughed. "The darkness has passed. Thor will rethink the path of eternity. Now I am also Thor's friend. We don't have to fight to the death. We must decide life and death. Isn't this a gentle era?"

"Besides, look at Mondstadt, look at Liyue, Inazuma is just a special case. Fighting among gods is rare."

Heulia remained silent.

After all, she is not familiar with the current era and it is difficult for her to judge whether it is good or bad.

Jiang Yi changed the subject: "Are you still used to this body that is a product of the mortal world?"

When Heulia died, her body disintegrated, her spirit was destroyed, and only traces of salt remained.

The body he has today is a body built with the salt and worldly life provided by Jiang Yi.

Elements shape the body and give the spirit its true form.

And within this body is Heulia's divine soul of the demon god, the demon god's consciousness, and a revived awareness.

Heulia's death was different from that of other demons. She was assassinated by a mortal and was not actually fatal.

Strictly speaking, this weak demon who kept escaping and accommodating was committing suicide.

When the sword of a mortal pierced her body, she escaped again and compromised again. If her death was the wish of her people, then she would fulfill their wish, collapse her body, and annihilate herself.

Calm your consciousness and actively return to the cycle of earth elements.

Forever, forever dead.

What he did at the last moment was to suppress the explosion of the salt element in his divine body as much as possible.

There is not a trace of hatred, not a trace of complaint, only a doting that is so weak that it makes people lament.

This should have been her end.

But...one day thousands of years later, Jiang Yi took away the salt cup and salt ruler that were condensed from her power, obtained the power of salt, and summoned it.

Using the ability to communicate with the earth veins, he called upon her consciousness, which would never appear in this world again.

again and again.

No matter how weak the demon's consciousness is, it is beyond that of mortals. Mortals have not extinguished her consciousness, and it is difficult to kill the immortal demon even by self-silencing.

But she was willing to die, and no one wanted her to live, so she was naturally considered dead.

The only person who can obtain her power, wants to bring her back to life, has the ability to transmit her call to the depths of the earth's elemental cycle, and is not a suspected enemy like the Demon God of Teyvat... is Jiang Yi.

Heulia didn't understand where Jiang Yi's tenderness towards her came from, and why Jiang Yi called her like that. They had never met each other before, but they met because of power.

If he prayed for her protection, but at the last moment before her death, she no longer had a weapon to raise to protect her people. She was too weak to protect anyone.

She is kind and weak, while Jiang Yi is kind and fearless.

Inazuma is revered by all the people, and they join him in rebelling against Narukami.

Even though he only had salt, light, and the power of the deep sea, he fought with all his might against the victor of the high-ranking demon war.

Doing things she couldn't do.

"This body... is very good..." Heulia felt her current form.

A gentle god deserves gentle treatment, Heulia, I wish you were born here.

From being in a trance to coming back to his senses, countless thoughts flowed through his mind, but they were fixed on Jiang Yi's pure and gentle request.

I want to see you, thank you for your power, I want you...alive!

Live! Live in the time I live in! Be born in the time I live in!

Please fulfill my selfish wish!

Her consciousness woke up deep in the earth veins, and she had begun to wait for the end of the world, but she went upstream and once again... compromised.

"When they don't need me, I fulfill their wishes. When you need me, I also fulfill your wishes!" There was a hint of tenderness in Heulia's weak temperament.

"You want me to go out for a walk, then... let me go with you... to see this new era thousands of years after the Demon War!"

"But I... am not ready to see anyone else." She walked in front of Jiang Yi. She came because of Jiang Yi's wish, and she lived because of Jiang Yi's wish.

A salt moon appeared between Jiang Yi's eyebrows. Heulia stretched out her hand and showed a beautiful smile.

"From Tianheng in the south, to Yaoguang in the east, to Jueyun in the west, to Qingce in the north, all the lands are desolate and all the lives are suffering. Liyue is so vast that it is difficult for any place to be at peace."

"Thank you for your Pudu and your sea of ​​​​glass flowers."

Her body turned into a white crystal light, merged into Jiang Yi's body, and sat on the salt moon.

"I will teach you the divinity of salt, the divine knowledge of salt, and how to control power more delicately..."

The Salt Moon revolves around the Kunlun Miro Palace, the ancestral acupoint. Six salt elemental stars emerge and combine to form the seat of destiny in this false sky. From then on, they share the same fate and depend on each other for life and death.

"True God - the Lord of Blessed Food, Heulia."

"He is in charge of wealth, good fortune, longevity, and wisdom, and is in charge of the most delicious flavor in the world - salt."

Jiang Yi found a new position for Heulia in the new era.

Within the pages of the book are the true names and talismans.
