Paimon's eyes widened as he looked at Kunjun lying on the ground.
"Now it's... who's fallen."
"Is it the real Kunjun?"
Upon seeing this, Ying asked Qiu Nian and Zhong Li.
"Yes, there's no need to worry."
"He's just asleep."
Zhongli nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ying and Paimeng also came to Qiu Nian and Zhong Li.
"Sigh...it just feels so strange."
"It's as if he suddenly became someone we don't recognize."
Paimon looked at Kunjun on the ground, sighed, and said with emotion.
“We are indeed complete strangers to Kunjun.”
Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and spoke.
"But the Naga King Ratna who once resided within him..."
"You and Qiu Nian are important friends."
Ying looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of her, placed one hand flat on her chest, and said.
"The setting sun melts into gold, and evening clouds gather from all directions."
"Three thousand years ago, the sunlight flowing across the land had the same appearance as here."
"The only difference is this ancient tree called the Fulong Tree..."
"For me, today's parting is only for a better reunion in the future."
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and revealed a faint smile.
"The setting sun melts like gold, and evening clouds gather..."
"Wow, so cultured..."
Paimon covered his forehead upon hearing Qiu Nian's words.
For a moment, I had no idea what it meant.
[Translation: The afterglow of the setting sun is like molten gold, and the evening clouds are like the moon surrounded by clouds.]
[It really fits the current atmosphere perfectly, and with this background music, it's so beautiful...]
[The only difference is this dragon tree. My dear son-in-law, can you please stop hurting me? (crying)]
Today's parting is only for a better reunion in the future. Your words, son-in-law, are so true.
"For Qiu Nian and Zhong Li."
"The friendship with King Ratna must be very precious."
Paimon, with his hands behind his back, looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him and said with a complicated expression.
"Um..."
"That happened a long time ago."
"Although a thousand years have passed, it is as vivid as yesterday, as clear as day."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and began his story.
Chapter 134 The finishing touch
The screen went black after a snowflake event, and then a PV appeared.
In the PV, Tian Tiezui opens his folding fan and begins to talk about books, accompanied by a magnificent background music.
As mentioned last time.
Lord Yan wandered alone in the mountains.
It was in a crack in the ground.
I heard a distant, unheard-of sound.
After the storyteller's voice ends, the scene unfolds.
Morax, the Rock God, dressed in divine armor, stood atop the mountain peak, gazing at the distant mountains.
"Most of the ancient geomorphic creatures living underground in Liyue are blind."
"For thousands of years, it has never seen the light of day."
Then Zhongli's voice rang out.
"Wow, the Emperor looks so handsome in this outfit!"
When Xuehua saw Zhongli like this, she showed a lovestruck expression.
[Old Mi, please release the Emperor's Divine Item! I beg you! (crying)]
My God, this is so epic!
This emperor is so handsome!
The sound was sometimes mournful like a song, and sometimes terrifying like thunder.
Lord Yan went around in circles.
Finally, they found a strange, unusual rock inside the rock strata.
After the storyteller finished speaking, Morax, the rock god, opened his arms, and in the middle was the so-called strange rock.
“That is how the Dragon King Ruoduo is.”
"I granted his wish and brought him to the ground."
Lord Yan, feeling pity for the stone's spirit, personally took charge of the carving.
It was sculpted into a magnificent and lifelike dragon.
"The Dragon King Ruoduo was sculpted by the Emperor?!"
Upon seeing this, Xuehua stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
How was this carved?! (covers face)
[You want to carve it into a big, fat paper figure, right?]
In the image, the rock god Morax gently waved his hand over the dragon's eyes, and the eyes of the dragon king Rota gradually lit up.
"I gave him eyes to see things clearly."
“Make a three-point agreement with him.”
Then, using your finger as a brush, add the dragon's eyes.
No sooner said than done, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.
A true dragon has emerged from the sky!
In the image, the rocks on the body of the Naga King Rota shatter, and then he raises his enormous head and roars at the sky.
“I have granted him permission to live in harmony with the people of the earth.”
"But what if one day he disrupts the order?"
"They will be sealed back into darkness."
Morax the Rock God and Rota the Dragon King stood together, gazing at the distant mountain ranges.
After that, the dragon often accompanied Prince Yan, fighting alongside him in battles across the north and south.
There is a phrase praising this matter, which is:
"Gold and stone shattered, dust settled; winding mountains and meandering rivers were all opened up."
"With the finishing touch of the dragon's eye, it gains strength; and as it lingers, it attracts rain and dew."
After listening to the storyteller's tale, Xuehua clapped her hands and cheered.
The plot and the art design are amazing!
The copywriting, music, and graphic design are all phenomenal!
The PV ended there, the screen went black, and several lines of text gradually appeared on the screen.
Viewing history through drama, truth and falsehood are indistinguishable, but one can know for oneself the coldness, warmth, good and evil.
Looking at people from the mountains, one sees the longevity of heaven and earth, yet the fleeting nature of life remains unchanged.
Friends and acquaintances, fleeting as lightning across eternity, a thousand years are but a fleeting moment.
This creation of the dragon is a testament to the loyalty between ruler and subject, and the bond of old friendship. It is a ray of light, a dazzling ray of sunshine. To obtain this immortal essence is to be able to venture into the mortal world. —From the unofficial historical novel *Liyue: A New Tale of the Present World - The Dragon Creation's Final Touch*
The ancient, vigorous trees resemble giant dragons bursting from the rocks, firmly rooted in the craggy cliffs.
Almost every Liyue resident who passes through this place will recall the famous storytelling before the "Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbor" ritual: "The Dragon's Eye-Catching Ceremony".
Regardless of the story's veracity, the presence of the Fir tree is enough.
Looking up at the ancient, vigorous tree, its leaves, the same color as the rock, scatter the sunlight projected from the Minlin Mountains onto the ground in fragments, like a patch of mottled gold paint.
Later, Old Dai, who was escorting his brother back to the city, volunteered to take the unconscious Kunjun back with him.
The remaining people probably still have something to say...
Meanwhile, in Xuehua's live stream, there was a flood of positive comments praising the legendary quest.
"What do you mean?"
"So, the storyteller was recounting unofficial history?"
Snowflake had been very focused, but she was puzzled as she looked at the few lines of text on the black screen.
[According to this copy, it seems to be true (facepalm)]
