Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 169 Salt Flower

The salt of the earth, the remains of the salt demon, Zheng Tian and his party, who had unsealed the plan, came here and headed deeper.

On the Zhudian Boat, Zheng Tian and Mona listened in on the discussion of Zhongli and others, and witnessed the famous scene of "Do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan?"

Then the woman named Wanyan asked Zhongli to chat privately and asked him about the Salt Demon Goddess Heulia. But everyone could tell that Wanyan's question was mixed with a lot of personal emotions, and she had already determined that Morax had killed Heulia in an dishonorable way.

Zhongli, who was innocent, was not angry, but a little embarrassed. He didn't want to hurt the other party with too ruthless words. Coincidentally, Clement of the Fatui came over and asked Zhongli to help with archaeological exploration as an employer.

Zhongli came up with a plan. No matter how many words he used, they would not be as shocking as just taking a look. He might as well take the opportunity to take Wan Yan to the ruins of Heulia to take a look, and also ask Zheng Tian, ​​the traveler from another world, to record the history.

Zheng Tian didn't refuse, he just felt it was a bit of a coincidence.

Before getting off the ship, Zheng Tian and Mona received three invitations from Luoxia, and the extra one was for Kong. Luoxia also privately said that this place was a place tacitly approved by the Seven Stars, and if you saw or heard anything special about it, don't be impulsive.

The team first went to Guyun Pavilion, and then Clement, who had ulterior motives, naturally took the bait after hearing about the Salt God. The group came to the Salt in the Earth and opened the remains of the Salt God.

"Zhongli, is the interior of the Elemental Monument very complicated?"

Zheng Tian thought of the seal outside, which was not easy to unlock. When lighting up the square monument with the corresponding elemental force, it was very difficult to guide the elemental force, distribute it in certain places according to its internal design, and keep it for a sufficient time.

Zhongli: "Of course not, the construction of elemental monuments can be made at different levels of simplicity.

Moreover, the materials used to make the monument will also affect the control of the elemental force by the person who lights the monument. For example, when making the monuments just now, a variety of materials were specially used to make certain parts, which increased the difficulty.

This is also why some monuments light up at a touch, while others require an expert to decipher.”

As they went deeper into the ruins, they soon discovered many white humanoid figures. They were in different postures, some were terrified, some were kneeling, some were praying, some were running away...

Although they had no expression and cooperated with the others, those who were kneeling and begging were probably asking for mercy, in other words, this was the gesture of someone who was in great trouble.

Mona walked up to take a closer look. If there was anyone in the group who had an eye for archaeology, it would probably be her. "A statue? The Salt God has a weird taste."

Out of caution, she didn't touch it.

Zheng Tian: "Wrong, that's a corpse."

Mona quickly retreated away: "Hey! What's the situation with this ruins? It's so scary."

Clement was horrified: "How could it be like this?"

Wan Yan: "What is hidden in the depths of the ruins?"

Continuing to explore forward, they soon found an altar with a strange cup on it, half filled with salt.

Wanyan: "This is half filled with salt."

Clement looked disdainful and said, "It's just a salt shaker. It seems that the Salt Demon is a poor demon."

It's normal to have salt on the altar of the Salt Devil, but it would be wrong if there wasn't something else.

Zhongli: "From what I understand, it is not ordinary. Although it is only half, there is always half - in other words, it is endless."

Clement's expression changed immediately: "What?! Even if I keep pouring it out, the salt inside won't decrease!"

Zhongli: "Exactly."

Wan Yan was very happy: "It can produce endless salt. As expected, the power of the Salt Demon is very powerful!"

Zheng Tian leaned over to Mona and whispered, "Do you remember? When we were on the ship, someone used the fact that 'all the demonstration models when Morax taught the people architectural skills were cast with Morax' as a proof that Morax valued Morax's divine power."

Mona: "Remember, Zhongli said that Morax was the easiest and cheapest raw material to obtain, which made him speechless."

Zheng Tian: "Yeah, those Mora, Morax can get them just by spitting."

Mona looked strange: "Uh~ saliva model? And the one in this cup..."

Zheng Tian: "Ahem, I'm just using a metaphor."

No matter what, it is normal for the Salt God's relic to have this function.

In just a short while, Clement had already discussed with Wan Yan who would own the cups.

Before they came down, Zhongli had them sign a contract: take the items in order, one at a time. Whoever took the first item had to give the next one to someone else, and they were not allowed to fight over it.

Clement thought that with this cup, he could become a powerful person in the salt industry. Wanyan did not come for money, and although she thought Clement's behavior was superficial, she still gave up.

Mona looked at Clement as if he were a fool.

As one of the Fatui, you use this thing to cause trouble. Aren't you afraid that one day you and the thing will be voluntarily handed over to the Doctor?

Zhongli: "Then, let's move on."

Zheng Tian looked at the cup in Clement's arms and suddenly asked, "Zhongli, how closely is the power of the demon god related to the body and soul?"

Zhongli's expression changed. Zheng Tian suddenly asked this kind of question. Do you have any ideas?

“The close relationship between the power of the demon god and the body and soul seems to be a good topic, and there are many scholars in Teyvat studying it.

In my personal opinion, the power of demons is ultimately their own strength. The word "power" is just our name for their own strength, and there is no need to separate it from the soul and body for discussion.

Normally, power is something that demons are born with, something they have when they are born. Power is the source of power for demons, and the source of power also supports every aspect of them.

For example, the real stove demon Marcosius was born from the stove fire. The power of authority is his origin. After injecting power into the earth to quell the disaster, his own condition also deteriorated greatly.

Power can also be transferred, divided, and devoured... This can also strengthen or create a demon god, but whether the receiver of the power can bear it is another matter."

Clement was confused and asked, "So what's the answer?"

Mona: "Stupid, the answer is that this is a proposition that should not be discussed. It's like talking about how closely your life is related to your body and soul. In fact, there is no need to discuss them separately."

Zhongli: “Correct.”

Wan Yan: "The Devil of the Hearth, in folklore, this is one of the names of Morax, but is there actually someone else? And he made such a great sacrifice. However, his fame was taken by Morax."

Zhongli sighed, “It’s not that Morax intends to take the fame of the Hearth Demon God. In fact, they are very good comrades.

"Three people make a tiger. Even if it is a matter of today, there can be various versions among the people, some true and some false, with many different opinions, let alone the history of thousands of years ago. What you hear and what you believe may not be the truth."

Mona: "Zheng Tian, ​​why are you asking this?"

Zheng Tian looked at the cup again, then said, "Nothing, let's move on."

There are outsiders present now, so it’s not convenient to say.
