Chapter 106: Liyue at that time! Guizhong and Luo Li!

~7 min read 1,303 words

Finding that Luo Li suddenly stopped, Raiden Makoto looked along his gaze.

After scanning a few times, she took the initiative to suggest: "It's still early, and there's nothing to do, so why not listen to a segment."

Eula and Noelle agreed immediately.

Storytelling was very novel to them, so naturally, they were willing to experience it.

So the four of them came to the end of the tables and chairs set up casually outside the teahouse and sat down.

Seeing that there were roughly hundreds of people listening to the book here, Noelle, who insisted on standing behind Luo Li, asked curiously: "What is this about, why are there so many people?"

"You'll know in a moment."

Luo Li didn't find it strange at all that so many people were surrounding and listening to the book; he felt it was very normal.

The entertainment activities for the public to pass the time in this era were really scarce. Usually, after finishing work during the day, they would go home to their wives and children at night.

The only things that could be called entertainment were storytelling and watching plays.

Raiden Makoto was also listening to a book for the first time. In the past, there were plays in Inazuma, but it had been so long since she last enjoyed one that even her memory was a bit blurred.

After sitting down.

But he saw Tian Tiezu above unable to withstand the pressure, smiling bitterly and pressing the crowd down.

"Alright, alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll tell another part. But this part isn't continuing from just now; the story I'm going to tell happened in the distant ancient times!"

Originally, the audience below was prepared to protest; if he didn't continue, what were they making a fuss about?

But hearing the last sentence, their curiosity was instantly hooked, and they all shouted for him to tell it quickly.

Tian Tiezu smiled happily, triumphantly opened his fan to make a show of it, and then spoke mysteriously.

"I think you all know the story of the Geo Archon establishing Liyue, but what I'm going to tell this time happened before the Geo Archon established Liyue."

As soon as this was said, the people below were buzzing.

They really didn't know this; the time of establishing Liyue was already long ago, let alone the past before that.

"Tian Tiezu, don't keep us in suspense, tell us what happened!"

"Exactly, why are you teasing us?"

Tian Tiezu pressed his hand and hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, everyone, listen to me slowly."

"I learned about this from an ancient book. Do you all know the long-abandoned Guili Assembly?"

Seeing the unkind looks of the people below, he continued to narrate the reason without waiting for an answer.

"A while ago, someone was treasure hunting in the Guili Assembly and happened to find a pile of treasures. By chance, I obtained a few ancient books from them and was surprised to find that they recorded ancient gods from the same era as the Geo Archon."

Ancient gods?

The people below curled their lips; who didn't know this?

If it weren't for the Geo Archon and the existing immortals joining forces to protect humanity, there would be no Liyue today.

Everyone was uninterested, thinking Tian Tiezu was just making a gimmick and selling dog meat under a sheep's head, intending to tell the old story again, so they prepared to leave while scolding.

Who knew that Tian Tiezu saw through the thoughts of the people below and said triumphantly: "May I ask everyone present, do you know the origin of the name Guili Assembly?"

To his surprise, the people below looked at each other; no one could say why, and for a moment, they lost the idea of leaving.

There was no way; ancient events relied entirely on word of mouth, and because the era was too long ago, some legends that no longer existed had already lost their clues.

Nowadays, the people of Liyue didn't even know much about what happened five hundred years ago, let alone legends from one or two thousand years ago.

"Guili Assembly? Could it be taken from the meaning of a person returning?"

At this time, a clear, youthful voice came from somewhere below.

Tian Tiezu looked over, his eyes lighting up: "Isn't this the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild? Why would you come to my small place to listen to stories?"

The youth known as the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild smiled slightly and performed a reserved etiquette under the gaze of the surrounding people.

"I am Xingqiu. I happened to pass by on my way to the Wanwen Bookhouse, but I saw you talking about ancient events. I happen to be quite interested in this kind of thing, so I couldn't help but stop. Please forgive me if I disturbed you."

The seemingly androgynous Xingqiu bowed to everyone present very politely.

As a young master who didn't have to worry about food and clothing, he loved reading, so he knew some things that ordinary people couldn't reach, but precisely because of this, there were more things he didn't understand.

So when he encountered a problem he didn't understand but wanted to figure out, Xingqiu would ask to the end to seek an answer.

"Young Master Xingqiu is too polite. I don't know about the saying of a person returning, but according to ancient books, the two characters 'Guili' are taken from the names of gods."

Tian Tiezu didn't dare to keep them in suspense anymore and immediately told the records he had seen.

"Oh, so it's taken from the names of gods."

Xingqiu was thoughtful; he had seen vague mentions of ancient legends in some ancient books, but most of them were severely damaged and could not be read at all.

Tian Tiezu said seriously: "Exactly, their names are the God of Dust and the God of Luo."

Hearing this, Luo Li, who was drinking tea, choked immediately.

Under Raiden Makoto's surprised comfort, he shook his head to signal he was fine.

The title "God of Luo" really made him speechless.

Who knew that the humans of that time would actually use these two characters to record it.

A bit faintly speechless, Luo Li calmed down after a long while and continued to listen to Tian Tiezu tell the many deeds recorded in the ancient books.

"It is said that when the Archon War just broke out, to avoid suffering for the people, the weak God of Dust accidentally found the God of Luo, who didn't want to fight for the throne, north of Mount Tianheng and asked him to help protect..."

Once he started, everyone's attention was extremely focused, even Xingqiu.

After all, when hearing a topic they didn't know but were interested in, they would always be full of thirst for knowledge.

Coupled with being a professional storyteller, Tian Tiezu told it in a very fascinating way, with great emotional investment, making people yearn for it, as if they were on the scene.

Listening to everything he had experienced personally, Luo Li sighed slightly.

At that time, it was indeed Guizhong who first found him, who was still walking on the earth, and made a contract with her willingness to give up the throne, asking him to look after her people together.

At that time, although Luo Li had no intention of the throne, he agreed to Guizhong's request because he had nothing to do.

Since then, with the guarantee of force, Guizhong's people were completely stable and were no longer forced to run around by other gods.

Until later, the two met Morax at that time.

Hmm... of course, change the title, it can also be called the Geo Archon!
