Chapter 427

"Liyue actually has such an environment."

Collei said in surprise: "It's completely different from Liyue City."

Here, Collei didn't know why, and a yearning for a reclusive life welled up in her heart.

Here, the life away from the hustle and bustle seemed within reach, allowing people's hearts to truly relax and be tranquil.

If she could live here with Brother Lin Mo, that would definitely be a very happy thing.

"That's right, this is Qingce Village, a mountain village hidden between hills and bamboo forests in the northernmost part of Liyue."

Hu Tao narrowed her eyes: "It's also a very good place for retirement and reclusive life."

While Hu Tao was speaking, the flying sword landed slowly.

"There, there are people flying in the sky."

When the flying sword landed, the children playing outside Qingce Village saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise: "Look."

"What a beautiful sister."

"Is it a sister with a Vision? Holders of an Anemo Vision can fly."

"I envy people with Visions so much."

Looking at Lin Mo and the others who landed, one child after another was excited and exclaimed with longing.

They all wanted to get a Vision.

At this time, Hu Tao and the others had landed.

Even at the gate of Qingce Village, the eyes of several people passed through the wisps of light smoke, and they could see the more hidden beauty in the depths of the village.

The stream in the valley gently bypassed the village, like a silver silk ribbon, shining with a soft luster under the moonlight.

The stream gurgled, and the sound of its flowing was particularly clear in the tranquility of the night, echoing with the waterfall in the distance, composing a night song of the Liyue countryside.

The edge of the village was rolling mountains, which appeared and disappeared in the night, as if they were rough outlines by a painter, or like the silhouettes of gods in ancient legends.

The trees in the mountains swayed in the breeze, the tree shadows were whirling, adding a bit of mystery and vitality to this tranquil night.

Bridges spanned the stream, ancient and sturdy, and the stone bridges were covered with moss, witnessing the baptism of time. These bridges still silently guarded the road to their home.

And on the water surface under the bridge, the stars and lights were reflected, like stars hanging in the water, adding a quiet romance.

The moonlight shone on the stone road, casting long shadows, and on the fences and eaves by the road, there were occasionally cicadas and night birds, which broke this tranquility from time to time, and soon returned to silence.

This tranquility of the night was not dead silence, but a peace full of vitality.

Every corner of Qingce Village appeared so harmonious, as if every tile, every branch of plant, was carefully placed to maintain this balance between heaven and earth.

It was not only a place to live, but more like a model of the perfect integration of nature and human life.

"Go go go, let's go find Granny Ruoxin first."

Hu Tao smiled: "If you want to stay in Qingce Village, you need to talk to Granny Ruoxin first, and then there will be room arrangements. Of course, there are inns, but it's easier to do things with acquaintances."

"Then we'll have dinner."

"After eating and drinking, Lumine and Paimon, you go to complete the investigation commission."

"Hmm hmm."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Lumine nodded.

And Collei had already taken out her camera and was shooting around.

As for Lin Mo, he used Silver Wolf's secret technique to sense the teleportation node of the ley lines here immediately.

"I didn't expect that there is also a teleportation node of the ley lines here."

Feeling a teleportation node opened up in a certain place of the ley lines, Lin Mo's expression was extremely strange.

The hand of the Abyss Order really stretches long.

Thinking like this, he walked towards Qingce Village.

Under the leadership of Hu Tao, several people passed through rows of ancient bamboo buildings and stone roads.

Not long after, they came to a building pavilion.

In this pavilion, an old man was standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

She was wearing a traditional dark brown long skirt of Liyue, with a soft sea-blue belt tied around her waist, and her attire was simple but revealed an extraordinary temperament.

Her hair was as white as snow, carefully combed behind her ears, and there were no complicated ornaments on her head, only an ordinary hairpin, appearing simple and unadorned.

Her face was full of traces of time, but every wrinkle seemed to carry a story, making her smile appear more warm and kind.

When the old man noticed the footsteps, she turned around.

When she saw Hu Tao approaching, her eyes immediately bent into crescent shapes, and she greeted her with a smile: "Isn't this little Hu Tao? Long time no see, why are you here?"

The old man's voice was gentle and kind, just like the warm wind of Qingce Village, making people feel kind when they heard it.

While speaking, her gaze turned to Lin Mo and the others, and the smile on her face was soon replaced by a deeper smile: "Oh my, you brought quite a few friends! Come in, come in, although the night in Qingce Village is tranquil, there is always hot tea and stories waiting for you here."

The building pavilion behind Granny Ruoxin was brightly lit, with warm yellow light, forming a warm picture with her kind face.

Her figure was like the guardian of Qingce Village, guarding every soul on this land with her care and warmth.

"Hello, Granny Ruoxin."

Hearing the old man's words, Hu Tao chuckled: "I brought friends to stay for one night, so I thought about finding you, Granny, to arrange a room in Qingce Village, and prepare to stay for one night."

"Some friends happened to accept an investigation commission about Qingce Village, so they also came by the way."

"Good good good, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Granny Ruoxin said with a smile: "As for the commission accepted, I also know some, I didn't expect you to come so fast."

While speaking, Granny Ruoxin looked at Lumine and the others, and looked at Collei several times.

"Hello, Granny."

Collei greeted very obediently.

"Good good good."

Granny Ruoxin nodded with a smile: "I will call someone over to arrange vacant rooms for you."

"Speaking of which, before you came, there were two little girls who were traveling and checked in early. The tranquil Qingce Village is quite lively today."

"Speaking of which, isn't tomorrow the Rite of Descension? If you little Hu Tao come to Qingce Village tonight, you will miss next year's Rite of Descension."

While speaking, Ruoxin thought of tomorrow's Rite of Descension.

It's so late, Hu Tao and the others actually came here, it's not close to Liyue City.

Tomorrow morning, it's Liyue's Rite of Descension.

"It doesn't matter, we can also make it back tomorrow morning."

Hearing Granny Ruoxin's words, Hu Tao chuckled: "It's very convenient for us to go back and forth, even if we stay for one night, it's not too late to set off back to Liyue tomorrow morning."

"Is that so."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Ruoxin nodded immediately: "Then I won't say anything."

For what Hu Tao said, although Ruoxin was surprised, she was not very surprised.

After all, there are not a few Vision holders who have come out of Qingce Village.

Whether it is a holder of an Anemo Vision or a holder of a Geo Vision, they can all easily travel.

"Eh?"

As for Paimon beside her, she looked at Ruoxin in surprise: "Granny Ruoxin, did you arrange the investigation commission for the Liyue Adventurers' Guild?"

She just noticed Ruoxin's words.

"Hehe, I didn't arrange it, but I know."

Ruoxin shook her head gently: "Mainly because this commission is related to the residue of the Archon, recently the residue of the Archon near Qingce Village has increased, it seems that because of the seal, the bones of Chi have problems."

"It seems that someone is eyeing the bones of Chi, so I can only ask someone to commission the Liyue Adventurers' Guild."

"That's good, I didn't expect you, Hu Tao, to come, I don't need to worry about Qingce Village."

Speaking of this, Ruoxin said with a smile: "Plus the two little girls who came before, I believe the problems in our Qingce Village will be solved soon."

"Chi?"

Hearing Ruoxin's words, Paimon scratched her head: "What is that?"

This investigation commission is actually related to Chi.

"Chi, ah."

Hearing Paimon's words, Ruoxin sighed: "That is a dragon-shaped demon beast from the ancient era, Qingce was its nest before, thanks to the Geo Archon defeating it, the body of 'Chi' curled into stubborn stone, the blood turned into clear water, and the scales turned into terraces."

"When you came, did you see those thick big trees beside Qingce Village? Those are 'Chi-blood trees', in the legend, they were nourished by the blood of 'Chi' and grew."

"The strange stones on the mountains of Qingce Village today are condensed from its blood. After the Geo Archon defeated Chi, he suppressed the bones of Chi in various places."

"The reason for sealing the remains of 'Chi' is not to let it harm the world again... using 'water' to seal the remains of 'Chi'... and using 'treasure' to suppress it in the center of the 'secret treasury'."
