Chapter 368: Dust-Cleansing Bell
"Hehe, it's like this, Sister Ping, we're here to borrow your Dust-Clearing Bell~"
Since she came to borrow something, Paimon called her sister sweetly and explained.
"It turned out to be that bell. It was a little gadget that an old friend of mine wore before. He saw me staring at it eagerly, so he gave it to me."
Hearing that they came to borrow the Dust-Clearing Bell, Ping nodded in understanding and spoke.
"At that time he told me that if someone came to borrow this bell in the future, I must not be reluctant to give it away."
"But the time I agreed to meet with someone is coming up soon. There are too many things in there, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while."
Then Ping looked at the teapot on her stone table, seeming helpless.
"It's okay, Sister Ping. I'll look for it with the traveler. We'll find it quickly and it won't take up much of your time."
Hearing that Ping seemed to have little time left, Paimeng quickly pointed at Ying and explained.
"Yes, I learned how to find things from the leader of the Knights of Favonius, and I'm pretty good at it."
Ying also immediately said it proudly.
"Well, thank you very much. All my belongings are in this teapot."
Ping nodded, then slightly moved the teapot on the stone table in front of Ying and Paimeng.
"Eh? In the teapot?"
Paimon scratched his head in confusion.
"Hmm...how about you go in and take a look, Paimon?"
Ying touched his chin and had no choice but to make a suggestion to Paimon.
"I can't get in! No matter how hard I try, I can't get in?!"
"And why do you want me to go in? Can't you just lift the lid and take a look?"
Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily, then raised his finger and pointed at the teapot.
After saying that, Paimon flew to the teapot, reached out and lifted the lid of the teapot.
The next moment, the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning. When he came to his senses, Paimeng had already appeared with Ying in a place that looked like a fairy cave, but the surroundings were brighter, and he could see some lotus leaves and lotus pods floating in the air without roots.
"Huh? Why are we here? What just happened?!"
Shaking his head, Paimon looked around in shock.
Ying, who was standing by, didn't react as much as she did, but seemed to be thinking about something.
"Here is my teapot. You can go find the bell."
"But I haven't cleaned it in a long time, so you have to be careful."
At this moment, A Ping's voice suddenly sounded around them, explaining to the two of them.
"pot……?"
"Could it be something similar to the purple ball Liu Shazi used to catch people?"
Hearing that they were actually in the pot, Paimon couldn't help but guess so.
They had all seen the scene where Liu Bai used the Pet Master Ball to collect Kong. The small round ball could actually hold a person.
"Maybe……"
Ying muttered.
Then the two of them followed A Ping's instructions and searched for the Dust-Cleansing Bell in the pot.
Although the space in the pot was created by the art of exterior scenery, it is not a space completely isolated from the outside world like the "little white house". It is still connected to the ground veins of Teyvat and can even be equipped with portable teleportation anchor points.
But wherever there are earth veins, monsters may be "refreshed" from the earth veins, so the same is true in Hu Li. Fortunately, with Ying's current strength, he easily defeated all the monsters.
"Traveler, you said Sister Ping has such a powerful pot and is holding that Dust Purifying Bell. Could she also be an immortal?"
While searching for the Dust-Clearing Bell, Paimeng couldn't help but discuss it with Ying.
"Well, it is indeed possible. After all, her temperament doesn't look like an ordinary person. We have also encountered a human-shaped immortal in Wangshu Inn, and he was also very handsome."
Ying nodded slightly, thinking that Paimon's guess was very likely.
"Yes, yes. Although the immortals in Jueyunjian are shown to us in the form of immortal beasts, since they are such powerful beings, I think they should be handsome men and pretty women."
Paimon also nodded repeatedly.
"But speaking of which, it would be nice if we had a pot like this."
"At least, we don't have to sleep outdoors all the time..."
Paimeng was a little envious of Ping's teapot.
Soon, the two found the Dust-Cleansing Bell deep inside the teapot.
Upon learning that they had obtained the Dust-Clearing Bell, Ping turned the teapot over and released them from it.
"Huh... I'm out. May I ask, Sister Ping, are you an immortal?"
Ying held the Dust-Cleansing Bell in her hand, while Paimeng wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but ask Grandma Ping out of curiosity.
"Immortal... I haven't heard anyone mention it for a long time. As for whether I am one or not, I think you already have the answer in your hearts."
Ping chuckled gently and shook her head.
Having stayed here for so long with her aged appearance, it was inevitable that the tone of her voice now sounded like that of an old lady.
"Hmm... I don't quite understand, but Sister Ping, are you just going to give us the bell? Aren't you surprised? As soon as the Emperor got into trouble, we came to you to ask for the bell..."
Paimon shook his head in distress, then looked at the bell in Ying's hand and couldn't help asking again.
"Silly boy, throughout the history of Liyue Port, I don't know how many immortals have left, and I don't know how many storms it has caused."
"But no matter what time it is, we will follow the rules to hold the Immortal Sending Ceremony properly before discussing other things."
"Now they keep shouting to catch the murderer, but delay the ceremony of sending the immortals. In my opinion, this is putting the cart before the horse."
"Now you come to borrow the bell. I guess one of my old friends can't stand it anymore, so he came out to take charge of the situation."
Ping explained with a chuckle.
"What if your old friend borrows it and doesn't return it?"
Ying spoke subconsciously while playing with the Dichen Bell in her hand, whose specific details she couldn't understand.
"You won't return it? If they really have the nerve to do that, I'll have no choice but to ask the original owner of the bell to go there in person."
As Ping said this, she looked down from the height of Yujing Terrace and happened to see Guizhong who was coming over here.
However, her attention was attracted by the lotus pond, and she was tearing the bread into small pieces to feed the fish in the pond.
If a passerby noticed her, they might wonder how she could tear the bread into small pieces without getting her sleeves dirty with her hands hidden in her sleeves...
"Take care, young men. Come over for tea when you have time."
"Goodbye, sisters~"
Afterwards, A Ping sent away Ying and Paimeng, who had successfully obtained the Distilling Bell. Yaoyao, who had been silent, also waved to them.
Yaoyao knew that her master and the immortals had a very important plan, so she behaved very quietly when Ying and the others came, so as not to disrupt their plans.
"Okay, Yaoyao, let's go. Don't keep your Aunt Guizhong waiting for too long."
After seeing Ying and Paimeng off, Ping took Yaoyao's hand and walked down Yujingtai together.
"A Ping~ this way~"
Noticing that A Ping brought Yao Yao down, Gui finally raised one hand and waved, his wide sleeves fluttering in the air.
After the two of them got closer, Gui Zhong trotted over.
"Hey, let auntie see our lovely Yaoyao~ She is dressed very beautifully today~"
Guizhong liked children very much, so he ran straight to Yaoyao.
