Chapter 275: Broken Ruins
In Guiliyuan, on the flat road, Ye Li drove horses pulling a few carts of goods with Grandma Ping and others and continued on their journey, communicating with the voices coming from distant time and space in his mind from time to time.
"The scenery of Guiliji has really changed a lot. It's a pity that I didn't see many glass lilies. Could it be that they disappeared because of the flood?"
"From a general point of view, a thousand years is enough time for flower species to change again and again. Even if there are some preserved ones, they are only artificially cultivated. The real wild glass lily is probably very rare."
Morax came up with this hypothesis based on an analysis of the images on the screen and the various communications sounds coming from the previous projections. The actual truth is almost certain, and the wild glass lilies are indeed on the verge of extinction.
"Alas, what a pity. I should plant some colored lilies in the cave when I have time. It can also be regarded as a precaution against the consequences of the previous and next lives on the screen."
Gui Zhong sighed, then perked up and looked at the frequency of Ye Li's synchronized image. He found something strange in the corner, and it was getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Ye Li, who was pulling the carriage and approaching the ruins of Guiliji, heard Grandma Ping's sigh. He knew what Grandma Ping was thinking. She was simply feeling emotional and helpless after seeing the scenery of the past turn into its current dilapidated state.
However, Ye Li still asked the other party why he sighed according to his own character.
"Alas, that is a very distant story. Even today, the people of Liyue know very little about history, and historians only have a superficial understanding of it."
"Then Master, do you know how the ruins of Guiliji were created? Was it because of the Demon God War back then?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Yaoyao, who was also curious, also asked Grandma Xiang Ping, with an expression of eagerness for a story on her little face.
Looking at Yaoyao's curious look, even though Ye Li knew that she was very sensible and precocious, she was just a child after all. She had no resistance to stories or even fun things like toys. But this was normal. It was probably because this was the reason why Yaoyao was both cute and reassuring.
“If Yaoyao really wants to know, Master will tell you. Thousands of years ago, during the middle of the Demon God War, the people of Guiliji lived as lively as the people of Liyue today.
But there is still a slight risk. Even if Lord Emperor and Chen Shen Guizhong worked together to protect us, it would still be in vain because of an accident."
"It sounds so heavy. How did the accident happen later?"
Yaoyao patted her cheeks lightly with both hands to make herself look more alert and serious, then continued asking questions.
"The accident happened later. It happened when the Emperor led many immortals to attack the West Sea Alliance. At that time, a large number of troops went out to fight, and the interior was empty. Even though the Demon God of Dust and the God of Stove protected the important Guiliji area together, it was still lost, causing the people to live in misery and had to move to Tianheng Mountain."
"So what was the final result?"
At this moment, Ye Li, who had been riding a horse and listening for a long time, also asked with curiosity, as if the follow-up information was very important to him.
Grandma Ping glanced at Ye Li's familiar face, and the reminiscence in her eyes, coupled with the ruined road they had entered and the surrounding scenery, reached the point of emotional expression.
……
"How could this happen? Wasn't it only Ye Li who went there first? Why did Morax lead others? This is too different from our experience."
At this moment, in the inner world, hearing Grandma Ping's narration of the history of the ruins of Guiliji, Guizhong's gray-blue eyes flashed with confusion and doubt, especially the information that Morax led people to the expedition, which was completely different from what they had experienced.
Just when Gui Zhong was unable to think calmly because of the news, Buyer and Morax, who were still calm on the side, guessed something. They couldn't help but look solemn, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness began to grow in their hearts.
As Grandma Ping in front of the screen spoke again and explained the important reasons and history, the expressions of the three people in the inner world changed greatly.
"Not long after the Emperor led his men to the battle, Guiliji was surrounded by millions of monsters led by Chilong. Even though the Demon God of Dust activated all of his ultimate powers and his own terrifying strength, he was only able to destroy all of the enemy's military forces and slightly injure Chilong. In the end, he sacrificed himself to save the people of Guiliji."
Sadness and despair flashed across Grandma Ping's eyes, but when she saw that Yaoyao and Yeli were also somewhat shocked and sad, she just smiled, adjusted her mood, and continued:
"That was the Demon God of Dust, who had been struggling for a long time and had waited for the Emperor's return to support him. He successfully destroyed Chilong, the guy who dared to attack. Not only did he pull out his tendons and bones, he also cut it into countless pieces and sealed them in various places. You can imagine how angry the Emperor was at that time."
"Ahhh, why am I gone? Where's Xiaoli? And why was only the Guizhong machine used? Where are the other equipment? The more I listen, the more something seems wrong."
At this moment, Gui Zhong, who was in the inner world, learned the news of his own demise in that time and space. He grabbed Morax's hand with lifeless eyes. One could imagine how shocked and puzzled he was from his slightly trembling face.
Morax looked solemn at this moment. The inexplicable rage and anger that rose in his heart was suppressed in his heart. His golden eyes flashed with a red light, as if he wanted to go to the past of that time and space personally to get rid of the Chilong with his own hands.
Buyer looked solemn. He was surprised by the news, but it was still within his expectations. After all, the tributaries of the two time and space were different, and subtle changes had already determined different results.
……
"The Emperor was entrusted by the Demon God of Dust to take over the shackles of the world from her, and has never unlocked them since then."
At this time, Grandma Ping finally finished telling most of the story. The depression that had been hidden in her heart for a long time was released, and her original completely old mentality also changed, but it was not obvious.
“So many things have happened in Guiliji. I don’t know what secret is hidden in the lock. The Demon God of Dust actually made the Emperor forget about it.”
Yaoyao felt regretful after hearing the story, and she once again reaffirmed her desire to maintain peace. She didn't want to see war and separation, so she had to work hard.
"Does the Demon God of Dust have any instructions, such as for offspring?"
At this moment, Ye Li, who was driving the horse-drawn carriage, turned his head again and asked a piece of news that was completely false but could easily be regarded as gossip.
Seeing Ye Li asking such a question that did not require much technical knowledge, a look of shock flashed in Grandma Ping's eyes, and the look she gave towards Ye Li changed a lot, as if she was hoping for some answer.
"No, the Demon God of Dust has never married in his life. Even if he has a good relationship with the Emperor, it is impossible for him to have offspring, unless both parties are hiding something."
At this moment, Grandma Ping's eyes were as bright as a mirror, reflecting Ye Li's confused yet dazed expression. Recalling the previous scenes, a certain excitement and speculation in her heart began to overlap, and her tone of voice was trembling and excited.
Ye Li immediately noticed that Grandma Ping was acting strangely, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with what he said, as if he had exposed some truth. He said helplessly:
"We can keep it a secret for as long as we can. Anyway, this place is peaceful and there aren't many twists and turns. When the time comes, we will have a legitimate reason to help those guys solve their problems, and it will be worth the trip."
