Chapter 972: Encounter with the Great Sage, 77's Softness Check

"The notes also mentioned a man named Mingjun. Mingjun secretly kept the book that recorded the secret technique of 'borrowing lives with lives'. After Shen He's father found out, he snatched it back." Yun Jin said, "I just saw an old man over there. Why don't I ask him about it?"

Having seen the protagonist of the opera story with her own eyes, she also wanted to know more about that real history so that she could understand the feelings of the characters in the story and... modify the story.

The three men found the old man and asked him questions, and they looked surprised.

"I am Mingjun. It seems that you are the friends that Shenhe mentioned who are coming here." The old man sighed, "You are asking about this matter..."

He did not ask why they did not ask Shen He, but replied: "I and her father were close friends. I had the opportunity to stop him from holding the ceremony, but I let it go out of my soft heart, and it ended up being a big mistake."

"So, I would bring some flowers back every year... and I always felt like I owed them an apology."

"Today, seeing that Ah He is fine and has someone to accompany him, I feel better."

"She looked like she had let go of what happened. Whether she hated him or not, I couldn't see it in her eyes."

"One year when I came back, I heard the story of the 'white-haired fairy' from a passing merchant. I didn't expect it was Ahe."

"I'll just pick out some past events to talk about." Mingjun fell into reminiscence.

Yunjin, Ying and Paimeng listened for half a day and found a way to find the secret stone in the village.

A record entitled "Miscellaneous Talks on Mountains and Stones".

"Let's go back!" Yun Jin said, and the three of them returned to the grass on the hillside.

"I'm back..." Jiang Yi looked at the sky. "The spells engraved on the Secret Stone can last for a long time. People believe that it has the power to communicate yin and yang. If you want to find it, you must be at a special 'time' and 'place'. Dusk... is coming soon."

"Let's go, take Du Lin's back." He got on Du Lin's back and everyone followed.

"It seems that Master Jiang Yi deliberately left us time to inquire about the goddess's experience." Yun Jin was smart and quickly understood why Jiang Yi kept it a secret and didn't tell them how to obtain the secret stone, but let them look for it themselves.

She looked at Shen He who was sitting in front of her: "Ms. Shen He, I want to discuss something with you."

Yun Jin did not hide anything and told Shen He that she had just found Shen He's father's notes and that she knew the goddess was her.

"...There are many untrue parts in "The Goddess Splits the Temple", and I want to change them." She said seriously.

Shen He smiled and said, "Why do you want to change it?"

"The opera itself is an adaptation of reality, but the protagonist of the opera is right in front of me, and I can't ignore your feelings." Yun Jin has a principle.

Shen He looked at Tianheng Mountain. The mountain was high and beautiful, with roaring waterfalls, deep forests and steep cliffs, and it was dangerous, beautiful and magnificent.

"It's okay. I like the version you just told me." She said, "Using power for others, I didn't understand it before, but I think that I... should understand it today."

"Just like what is sung in the opera, stand up and protect others. Like a... hero." Shen He looked at Jiang Yi.

Speaking of which, the protection method that can be used at any time and quickly enter the battle seems to be like Fanan, Yingda and others, turned into a talisman and hung on Jiang Yi.

It was difficult for me to understand these girls in Jiang Yi, but now that I think about it carefully... this is indeed a very powerful mood and protective method.

"Huh?" Yun Jin was a little surprised, then smiled knowingly, "You two have such a good relationship..."

"Senior sister and fellow student?" Shen He smiled.

Ying and Paimeng looked at Shen He on the left and Jiang Yi on the right.

"Oh——!" He held his chin with his hand, nodded meaninglessly, and looked as if he had realized something.

Later, Yun Jin mentioned Mingjun's apology.

"For the sake of his lover, he can do anything." Shen He said, "He doesn't need to apologize. Even if I stopped him at that time, he would definitely find a way through other means."

Paimeng murmured quietly with regret: "Alas! Back then... if that person... could have met a god like Jiang Yi, such a tragedy would not have happened. He could have prayed and cured Shen He's mother's illness."

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Ying was looking at the setting sun behind the gray clouds in the sky. To find the Secret Hua Stone, one had to stand in the center of the lake in the southern part of Tianheng Mountain and look in the direction of the sunset at dusk.

When they arrived at the location, Beidou jumped off Du Lin's back and looked for minerals with a big sword in hand.

"Xiao?" Ying met an unexpected person.

"The Great Sage Who Conquers Demons." Shen He looked at Xiao.

"Is it you?" Xiao looked at everyone.

"What is Xiao doing here?" Paimon asked.

"The dangers in the sea..." Xiao said halfway, "Didn't Ningguang tell you? Something happened in the area around Guyun Pavilion. According to the agreement, as an immortal, I will not intervene in this matter for the time being."

“But the danger is unpredictable, and I have my own plans. This place is only separated from Liyue Harbor by a mountain. If the situation really gets out of control, I can hold the line by myself.” Xiao’s voice was calm, but his tone was unquestionable.

"Don't worry, if something really happens, I will take action!" Jiang Yi said.

"You? Take a break!" Xiao crossed his arms and said, "Do you think I can relax now that you have reduced the burden on Guiliyuan and Dihuazhou?"

"But in my opinion, I will be busier than before to monitor your dangerous 'Guoyun Pavilion', and it will be difficult to take action." Xiao looked at the pendants on Jiang Yi again. If Jiang Yi turned into a demon, these pendants would be even more dangerous.

"..." Jiang Yi, "Would you like to have some snacks from Wangsheng Hall? Relax and unwind."

"Hmm? Whose is it?" Xiao asked.

"It belongs to Hall Master Hu." Jiang Yi laughed.

"..." Xiao's eyes were sharp. Are you kidding me?

"Okay! Zhongli gave it to me." Jiang Yi took out a box of snacks and said, "I'll give it to you as dinner."

"Hmph!" Xiao's attention was successfully diverted.

While we were chatting here, someone over there happened to find the secret stone nearby.

Return to the city, Frost Edge Ironware.

After giving the materials to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang happily began to create the "Qianqi Core".

"The last immortal talisman..." Yun Jin said, looking at Jiang Yi who had several immortal talismans hanging around his waist.

This seems to be the easiest item to obtain.

"Let me do it! I have been practicing with the immortals for many years, and I know a thing or two about the methods of preparing talismans." Shen He said, "Master asked me to go down the mountain. In addition to... looking for Jiang Yi, I came here for the Qun Yu Pavilion."

"Oh! So Shen He is here to deliver a talisman." Paimeng suddenly realized, "True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng is quite nice. He heard that Ningguang was rebuilding the Qunyu Pavilion... and he also provided support in secret. When we were chatting before, he acted as if we immortals don't care about things, and you mortals can handle it."

"Sharp tongue but a soft heart?" Ying raised her eyebrows.

Paimon raised his head.

"..."

There was no sound of the bird in the air.

Paimon's predicted action confused Ying.

“But I just use this as an opportunity to return to human society.” Shen He said that giving the talisman to Ningguang was a favor, and it would naturally make life in Liyue much more convenient.

After borrowing a place from Lao Zhang, Shen He began to draw talismans.

A total of four immortal talismans are needed.

When she went down the mountain, she also brought with her immortal materials and talisman pens for making talismans.

Jiang Yi strolled around and looked at the sea.

"Jiang...Yi." Standing on the harbor, Qiqi looked up at the person who came with the talisman on his head blown up by the wind.

Here, the resentment in the air was even thicker, so thick that the entire sea was filled with a terrifying hatred that wanted to destroy Liyue Harbor.

"The beach is dangerous."

"Ningguang said there are bad things in the sea."

"So, send Qiqi to evacuate the crowd."

Qiqi sighed. Despite her small stature, she felt very tired.

"However, no one listens to Qiqi, so Qiqi can only stay here. If there is any danger, Qiqi will stand up and protect everyone."

Jiang Yi rubbed Qiqi's head: "It's okay, I'll help you evacuate the crowd."

Although Ningguang definitely didn't mean to ask Qiqi to help evacuate the crowd, after all, how could the people around not listen to the Qianyan Army's warning, but Jiang Yi was still prepared to help Qiqi.

clap clap!

Let the people around look over, explain the situation to them with emotion and reason, and let everyone go back to rest and avoid the upcoming sea storm.

As a celebrity in Liyue, Jiang Yi's words are still very authoritative.

"Coconut milk, Qiqi's working meal." Jiang Yi handed over the coconut milk and held Qiqi's hand. He checked the softness of Qiqi's body. The last conditioning had not yet worn off and her body was not too stiff.

"Come on, Qiqi, let me tell you some zombie stories and the zombies' cultivation." Jiang Yi was also bored, so he told Qiqi about flying zombies, incorruptible bones, Ba, and Huo.

As an immortal, Qiqi is actually the highest level zombie.

Things like immortality, indestructible body, thousands of miles of ice, flying into the sky and into the earth...all are possible.

The only problem is that you need to remember your "real name" to unlock your full potential, otherwise you can only float a few feet in place.

"Oh!" Qiqi wrote her real name on the notebook. Recently, her memory has improved a lot. If she looks at it often, she will be able to remember her real name during the battle.

Jiang Yi looked at Qiqi's pale and cold face: "In order to prevent stiffness, you should also learn to smile more. Qiqi, you must be very cute when you smile."

"Cute?" Qiqi pointed her finger at her lips, "Jiang Yi is also cute."

"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Yi found that Qiqi no longer called him Tuanque Coconut Milk Immortal, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Return to the cold front ironware.

"call!"

"The talisman is ready. Although it is not as good as the one made by Master, and it is not as good as the one drawn by Jiang Yi now, it should be of high quality."

Shen He took out four glowing talismans that were filled with magical powers because they were made from special magical materials.

The next day, Lao Zhang also completed the Qianqi Core.

In the early morning, Ningguang called all the contestants and announced the end of the competition, but said that she would still purchase the Mingxia Floating Life Stone.

Everyone went up to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Combine the immortal talisman with the Qianqi core and place it in the control chamber of the Qun Yu Pavilion. In this way, the Qun Yu Pavilion will be officially rebuilt."

In the main hall square of the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang looked at the Qianqi Core floating in the air and the four emerald-colored fairy talismans surrounding the Qianqi Core.

The talisman rotated, and golden light lit up, connecting into one. The Qianqi core also emitted golden light and gradually activated. The two combined with each other, and golden ripples lit up around it.

An energy channel appeared in the middle of the circular floor of the square. The Qianqi core and the immortal talisman were like small golden suns, sinking into the huge golden ripples. The energy gathered and turned into a slender beam of light.

The ripples disappeared, revealing the circular square covered with patterns.

"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." Ningguang looked at everyone.

"I have heard a little bit about Mr. Yun's purpose. You are looking for a suitable stage for your new opera, right?" She smiled, "Since this is a new play that Mr. Yun has prepared with great fanfare, it must be very important. How about choosing this newly built Qun Yu Pavilion as the first performance?"

"Wow! That sounds great." Paimon interrupted.

Ningguang folded her hands and said, "The Qun Yu Pavilion is located at a very high altitude. From here, you can see all the small mountains. From a high place, you can feel the strong wind and observe all the people in the world. I think there is no better stage in the world for you than this place."

Yun Jin didn't expect Ningguang to give such a suggestion. To perform it in the Jade Pavilion? She really hadn't thought of it.

"Thank you, Miss Ningguang." Yun Jin nodded, not afraid of the stage. "I will prepare the opera props later. Miss Ningguang, please bring them to the Qun Yu Pavilion."

After she finished speaking, she said goodbye to everyone and went to prepare the props.

Next, Ying gave the opportunity to Paimeng, and Paimeng naturally chose to ask how to make money.

Ningguang also answered tactfully that doing business was not that easy, but if they wanted to know, she would tell them the truth, but these experiences might not be really suitable for them.

Finally, she promised that if Ying and Paimeng were in urgent need of help, they could find a job with her and receive the highest salary.

Beidou actually didn't have any questions to ask, as Ningguang had forced him to participate in the competition.

There is even less problem with Jiang Yi and Shen He.

“Then our last chance has been wasted.” Ningguang smiled, “Let’s prepare for the launch ceremony!”

Beidou and Ningguang discussed for a few words, then waved goodbye and left.

Jiang Yi looked towards the sea.

got windy!
