Chapter 338: The Power of the Abyss Flowing in the Earth's Veins
Seeing the other party's little action, Heulia smiled gently, and then began to share with Jiang Xun the interesting things she had encountered in recent days.
Jiang Xun sat aside and calmly drank the tea with a new flavor, but then Heulia's words immediately attracted his attention.
"When the little auspicious grass king was chatting with me, she once mentioned that she had felt the power of the abyss flowing through the earth veins. However, she changed her mind and didn't know whether she knew it was not appropriate to talk about such topics, so she quickly skipped the topic."
When Jiang Xun heard the words "power of the abyss", the movement of bringing the teacup to his mouth paused slightly, but then he took a sip.
"The power of the abyss flows through the earth's veins..."
Jiang Xun repeated this sentence, he realized something was wrong, how could the power of the abyss coexist with the power of the earth veins?
The two are like water and fire. When they come into contact with each other, they will tear each other apart until the other is completely destroyed.
"Did Narcida really say that?"
"Yes, but nothing serious happened to Xumi afterwards. I think maybe the matter has been resolved or she felt wrong at the time."
Heulia explained casually that she had not taken the matter to heart at the time, and she did not think it was a big deal to bring it up now.
The power of the earth veins has always been complex and diverse. As the vein that runs through Teyvat, the things contained in them can be said to be very diverse. Among them are memories, elemental power, evil thoughts, and a bunch of unknown things.
These things can affect a person's mind and memory, and in serious cases can cause a person to lose themselves.
Only an alchemist like Jiang Xun can extract the elemental power and use it in alchemical construction and other purposes.
"Master, is there anything wrong with this?"
Realizing that Jiang Xun was silent at this moment and seemed to be thinking about something, Heulia asked in confusion.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about what excuse I should use to ask Nashida for more tea when it's finished."
Jiang Xun smiled and shook his head. He was a little confused about these things, and there was no need to explain them to Heulia, as it would only add to his worries.
"That's good....."
After that, the two chatted about many things, and Qiqi also joined in and said a lot. It can be said that she had initially integrated into this atmosphere.
Feeling that the time was about right, Jiang Xun said goodbye to Heulia and left with Qiqi.
On the way out, Qiqi suddenly asked, "Brother, that abyss thing should be very important, right?"
Jiang Xun looked at her with a little surprise. He didn't expect that she could see it.
Perhaps feeling that he was being looked down upon, Qiqi continued, "From the look on your face just now, it was clear that you were worried about something. Even I could tell."
Jiang Xun felt helpless after hearing this, is his acting so bad?
I have to learn from Zhongli when I have time.
"And I think that sister should have noticed it, but she didn't continue to ask because she saw that you didn't want to say it."
Qiqi observed the situation very carefully and had a clear view of Heulia's actions.
"Please give me some face..."
Jiang Xun curled his lips. When did this little girl learn to be so mean?
"Okay, okay, I don't know anything. My brother is the best."
You might as well not have said it in the first place.
Jiang Xun shook his head. He had no way to deal with the other party. Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide this matter. He then said, "Based on my understanding of Nashida, she must have privately investigated the matter of the power of the abyss flowing in the earth veins. It is impossible that she is wrong."
"It's just that when I went to Xumi some time ago, I didn't notice any problems in this regard, so she must have handled it."
"So what are you thinking about, brother?"
Qiqi asked curiously.
"I just suddenly realized that those guys from the Abyss Cult seem to have not come out to cause trouble for a long time. I strongly suspect that they are secretly accumulating strength for a big game."
Since the inverted statue that we saw when we first met Paimon and Ying, and the subsequent theft of the body of the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, it shows that they are definitely holding back on something big.
"The Abyss Cult... Brother, are you talking about those monsters who talk about the abyss every day?"
Qiqi thought for a while and then asked.
Qiqi had eliminated many members of the Abyss Cult before, because every time they appeared, they would disturb the peace around them. She always liked peace and quiet, so she naturally couldn't stand this situation, so she had eliminated many members of the Abyss Cult.
"That's right. It seems you have seen it."
Since Qiqi had already met him, Jiang Xun didn't have to bother explaining it to her.
"The Abyss Cult was very active before, but for some reason, they have almost disappeared recently."
This is undoubtedly a very suspicious matter.
"Do we need to prepare in advance?"
Qiqi didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing what Jiang Xun said, she realized that the Abyss Cult had done something really serious, and it was actually strange that it had been too quiet recently.
"Why should we prepare? I'm really looking forward to seeing what fun things they can come up with. Teyvat has been too quiet lately."
what?
Looking at Qiqi's cute puzzled look, Jiang Xun just smiled and did not explain.
"So, what shall we do next?"
At this moment, Qiqi was a little unsure of Jiang Xun's thoughts.
"We should do what we need to do. The Lantern Festival is coming up, so we should celebrate it now."
Jiang Xun said with a smile.
"But....."
Qiqi raised her eyebrows. She felt that Jiang Xun was a little too out of the ordinary. Someone was secretly keeping an eye on the seven countries of Teyvat, but he didn't seem to care at all and still looked indifferent.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun stretched out his hand and kept rubbing Qiqi's pink cheeks, saying as he rubbed, "What's the problem? Just do your own thing. I'm here if anything goes wrong."
These words were like a reassurance pill, which immediately restored Qiqi's slightly restless heart to its usual calm.
Come to think of it, it seemed like she had nothing to worry about.
Jiang Xun could even reverse life and death and make people transform into immortals, so it seemed that she didn't need to worry about anything.
Yes, brother can do anything.
"Then, let's go back to Liyue Harbor?"
Qiqi held Jiang Xun's wrist, feeling the warmth of his hands on her cheeks, and said expectantly.
"Don't worry, I still have people to visit."
Jiang Xun's words instantly dashed Qiqi's expectations.
How many people do you still want to visit?
Qiqi was like a child who didn't want to visit relatives. When she heard that she couldn't go home, she almost collapsed.
