Chapter 607 Ruotuo Dragon King
——Teyvat
Liyue, Liyue Harbor.
When Long Ruo was lost in thought, a slender figure came in front of him and smiled at him.
[Zhongli! Zhongli! Zhongli!]
【Master Zhong! Long time no see! 】
[Lord Emperor! It’s been a while since we last met at the Lantern Festival! Please accept my greeting!]
【Thank you Emperor for 20 draws to fulfill your wish! 】
[I didn't expect to see Zhongli here! ]
Feeling the gaze of the person in front of him, Long Ruo raised his head.
At just one glance, Long Ruo's pupils suddenly shrank.
This was obviously not the first time he saw this face, but this time, Long Ruo felt as if his mind had suffered a severe shock.
He had seen this man before.
Not someone he had seen before, but before he lost his memory! He knew the person in front of him before he lost his memory.
In an unfamiliar environment, a familiar face suddenly appears.
He looked at him with the same expression as before, and this feeling seemed to bring Long Ruo back to the past.
At this moment, it seemed as if even the surrounding environment had become the same as before, and every scene and object made Long Ruo feel familiar.
"Zhongli!"
Paimon cheered in surprise and was about to go up to Zhongli to say hello.
But Zhongli suddenly raised his hand to stop Paimon from approaching.
At this time, Ying also noticed Long Ruo's expression and guessed that he might have suddenly recovered some of his memory.
Come to think of it, if the other party is a demon god, then as a demon god from the Liyue camp, it is impossible for Long Ruo not to recognize Zhongli.
Since they recognized each other, it makes sense that their memories would be restored when they met.
So Ying took Paimeng aside and explained the current situation to her, making her understand that Zhongli should not be disturbed now.
Paimon suddenly realized, then patted his chest and promised not to disturb them.
Although Jun Moli looked dazed, he was still tactful enough to move around, taking the curious Yiya with him.
There were only Zhongli and Long Ruo at the scene.
Zhongli smiled and extended his hand to Long Ruo, saying softly: "I want to buy some osmanthus flowers to carry with me some wine, but I wonder if my old friend... is doing well?"
Looking at the hand that Zhongli stretched out, Long Ruo was in a trance.
Scenes appeared before His eyes.
--Reality
The picture on the screen froze on Long Ruo's dazed face.
The plot then enters the cutscene.
The background is in Sanwan Buguogang. Tian Tiezui opened the folding fan in his hand and began to tell today's story:
"The last chapter of the book said that Lord Yan was walking alone in the mountains. In a crack in the ground, he heard an unheard-of distant sound."
The curtain was drawn up to form a complete dragon pattern.
Then the curtain opened again, and a scene appeared of the Rock King, dressed in divine garb, standing in the mountains.
[The Emperor who has contracted this place is not allowed to rob! 】
[This is about to reveal Long Ruo's true identity. 】
[Actually, anyone who has watched Jun Bai's animated trilogy should know who Long Ruo is. I don't want to spoil the story, so I won't go into details.]
[This PV actually features Tian Tiezui and Zhongli together? ]
The person who spoke changed to Zhongli:
"Most of the ancient rock elemental creatures living underground in Liyue are blind and have not seen the sun for thousands of years."
The picture zoomed in and a pattern of rock elements appeared on the screen.
The pattern gradually lit up, and Tian Tiezui's voice rang out: "The sound was sometimes sad like a song, and sometimes terrifying like thunder."
A nail with the rock element logo printed on it fell quickly.
The nail fell and the crack spread underground:
“Lord Yan went around in circles, and finally, he found a strange and bizarre stone in the rock formation.”
A stone like an embryo appears in the picture.
The picture gradually zooms in on the stone.
Then the background suddenly changed, and the godly-clad Rock King opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the stone in his arms.
Zhongli took over the conversation:
"That is what the Dragon King Rudra is like."
"I fulfilled his wish and brought him to the surface."
[Zhongli was telling historical facts, but the storyteller was telling later legends. I can only say that it is understandable. It is understandable.]
[I think what Tian Tiezui said is a bit exaggerated, but when I think of what the storyteller said about my second brother's background, it seems reasonable.]
[So the dragon is the Rāthāgata Dragon King? ]
[This name almost has the answer written on its face...]
The picture zooms in on the stone, and then moves into the next picture, where a huge dragon-like creature stands on the ground.
And the Rock King Emperor was right in front of Him.
This time the narrator is Tian Tiezui:
"Lord Yan felt pity for the spirituality of the stone, so he personally carved it into a giant dragon that is so lifelike and ingenious."
The Rock King tapped the dragon's eyes with his fingers.
A golden glow appeared in his dull eyes, and Zhongli told the original history: "I gave him eyes to see things clearly, and I made three rules with him."
With the eye as the center, cracks spread all over the body of the Rādhāra Dragon King.
Tian Tiezui said about this scene: "Use your finger as a pen and put a dot on the dragon's eyes."
The stone dragon in the picture exploded, and the Ryota Dragon King raised his head and roared:
"It's said to be late, but it's fast. There are lightning and thunder in the sky, and a real dragon appears out of nowhere!"
The scene changed, and Emperor Yanwang and Ruota Dragon King appeared in the same frame.
Zhongli said: "I promised Him to coexist with the people on earth, but if He disrupts the order one day, He will be sealed into darkness again."
The screen pans to the right, and Tian Tiezui continues:
"After that, the dragon always accompanied Prince Yan and followed him in his battles in the north and south. There was a poem praising this event, which was exactly——"
""Gold and stone burst into pieces and the dust is swept away; the winding waters of the rocky mountains are all opened""
"The dragon's eyes are dotted with help, and it hovers around to attract rain and dew."
Then the curtain was drawn, and the storytelling ended.
In the darkness, Zhongli and Long Ruo's voices rang out at the same time:
"The heavens move and everything changes, and the mountains and seas transform into shapes."
"Stars are born in the wasteland, shining like the blazing sun."
[Dual narrative lines of fiction and reality, true history and artistically processed stories, the copywriters and artists should get their asses kicked! ]
[The story told by Tian Tiezui sounds a bit like Monkey King...]
[To show compassion for the spirit... In reality, the gentleman must be compassionate to Ruotuo's yearning for the heaven and earth.]
[The finishing touch! This is the finishing touch! ]
[There are details! The eyes of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo are very similar to the eyes of the Emperor! They both have diamond-shaped pupils! ]
——Teyvat
Liyue, Liyue Harbor, three bowls and you won’t be able to cross the harbor.
Listening to Tian Tiezui's storytelling, Long Ruo, no, now it should be said that... Ruo Tuo Dragon King immediately looked at Zhongli with a bad face:
"Let's not talk about digging the Layered Abyss into that state."
The Dragon King Ruota slammed the table and said, "Is this the status I hold in the eyes of mortals now? Your follower?"
"I volunteered to follow you on your expeditions, and this is how you repay me? Answer me! Look into my eyes!"
Zhongli spread his hands and said, "Stories in Liyue Harbor often contain exaggerations and distortions, and cannot be used as a reference for historical facts."
"And you know, the people of Liyue Harbor would be more serious in their worship of me."
The corner of Ruotu Dragon King's mouth twitched: "That's true."
"But I still want to hit you now."
