Chapter 186
"Alright, alright, everyone's kindness is hard to refuse, so I'll tell another segment, but this segment is not following what I just said; the story I want to tell, that happened in the distant ancient times!"
Originally, the listeners below were preparing to protest; if they didn't continue, what were they making a fuss about just now.
But hearing the last sentence, their curiosity was instantly hooked, and they all shouted for him to tell it as soon as possible.
Tian Tie-Zui smiled happily, proudly opened his fan to make a show, and then spoke mysteriously.
"I think you all know the story of Rex Lapis establishing Liyue, but what I want to tell this time happened before the Lord of the Rock 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, not to mention the past before that.
"Tian Tie-Zui, don't sell it, hurry up and say what happened?"
"That is, what are you doing to whet our appetite."
Tian Tie-Zui pressed his hand and hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, everyone, listen to me slowly."
"I learned about this from a broken ancient book; do you all know the long-abandoned Guili Assembly?"
Seeing the unkind eyes of the people below, he continued to narrate the reason without waiting for an answer.
"A while ago, someone was exploring for treasure in the Guili Assembly and happened to find a pile of treasures, and by chance, I got a few ancient books from it, and was surprised to find that it recorded the ancient gods of the same era as the Lord of the Rock."
Ancient gods?
The people below curled their lips; who didn't know this?
If it weren't for the Lord of the Rock and the current immortals joining forces to protect humanity, there would be no Liyue now.
Everyone was uninterested, thinking Tian Tie-Zui was making a gimmick and hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat, intending to tell the story again, so they prepared to leave while scolding.
Who knew that Tian Tie-Zui saw through the thoughts of the people below and said smugly: "May I ask everyone present, do you know the origin of the name Guili Assembly."
Not surprisingly, the people below looked at each other; no one could say why, and for a while, they didn't have the idea of leaving.
There was no way, ancient things all relied on word of mouth, plus the era was too long, and some legends that didn't exist now had long since broken clues.
Nowadays, Liyue people don't even know much about things five hundred years ago, let alone legends of a thousand or two thousand years ago.
"Guili Assembly? Could it be taken from the meaning of the return of the departed?"
At this time, a clear voice unique to a youth came from somewhere below.
Tian Tie-Zui looked over and his eyes lit up: "Isn't this the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, why would you come to my small place to listen to books and sing."
The youth known as the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild smiled slightly, and under the gaze of the surrounding people, he modestly performed a ritual.
"I am Xingqiu, passing by on the way to the Wanwen Bookhouse, but seeing the gentleman talking about ancient things, I happen to be quite interested in such things, so I couldn't help but stop. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me."
The seemingly neutral Xingqiu bowed his fists to everyone present very politely.
As a young master who didn't worry about food and clothing, he loved reading books on weekdays, 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 understand, Xingqiu would ask to the end to seek an answer.
"Young Master Xingqiu is polite, I don't know the saying of the return of the departed either, but according to ancient books, the two characters Guili are taken from the names of the gods."
Tian Tie-Zui didn't dare to sell it anymore and immediately told what he saw in the ancient books.
"Oh, so it's taken from the names of the gods."
Xingqiu thought thoughtfully; he had seen vague mentions of ancient rumors in some ancient books, but most of them were broken, and he couldn't read them at all.
Tian Tie-Zui said seriously: "Exactly, their names are the God of Dust and the God of Luo."
Hearing this, Luo Li, who was drinking tea, was choked immediately.
Under Raiden Makoto's surprised comfort, he shook his head to indicate he was fine.
The title of God of Luo really made him unable to hold back.
God knows why people at that time would use these two characters to record it.
A little speechless, Luo Li calmed down for a long time before continuing to listen to Tian Tie-Zui tell the many deeds recorded in the ancient books.
"It is said that when the Archon War just broke out, to avoid the suffering of the people, the God of Dust, who was weak in force, accidentally found the God of Luo who didn't want to fight for the god position north of Mount Tianheng, and asked him to help protect..."
Once he started talking, everyone's attention was incomparably focused, even Xingqiu was the same.
After all, hearing a topic he didn't know but was interested in, he would always be full of thirst for knowledge.
Plus, worthy of being a professional storyteller, Tian Tie-Zui's telling was extremely fascinating, his emotions were incomparably invested, and the people listening were yearning, as if they were there.
Listening to everything he had personally experienced, Luo Li sighed slightly.
At the beginning, it was indeed Guizhong who found him when he was still walking on the earth, and with the contract that she was willing to give up her god position, she asked him to look after the people under her command together.
At that time, although Luo Li was not interested in the god position, in the case of having nothing to do, he agreed to Guizhong's request.
Since then, with the guarantee of force, the people under Guizhong 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 a title, you can also call it the Rock Archon! ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
