Chapter 564: Zhongli: My power has completely dissipated
How can a person live without a heart?
When Gu Sanqiu thought of this incident, this was his first reaction.
The old minister who could still survive even if his heart was dug out walked out of the court safely with the help of Taoism, but died tragically after the words "How can a man live without a heart?" spoken by an old vegetable-selling woman who was transformed into a monster.
Although it was not unjust for him to want to kill the old man, Gu Sanqiu still felt that the matter was not simple.
To put it simply, the old man is very strong, very strong, and this is the "Taoist talisman" that protects him.
Tianli, as the "monster" who acts for a certain purpose, has always wanted Zhongli, who is powerful and protected by Liyue's will, to "abdicate".
And the means of natural law is wear and tear.
However, its powerful strength managed to withstand the erosion of wear and tear and forcibly drag out this period of time, which was equivalent to the appearance of an unreasonable existence in the ultimate law of Teyvat.
Then Tianli came up with another solution, which was to create a series of coincidences to make Zhongli realize a problem in a trance.
So, should I take a break ?
As long as this thought appears, it is equivalent to a hole being poked in the indestructible Wanli dam. In the long run, the force and impact of wear and tear will become more and more severe.
In this situation, Zhongli can only choose this path which may not be the best option.
"Choosing an ordinary person like this who doesn't seem to have any special features will also make people less wary."
Tianli is not stupid. This was the first thing that Gu Sanqiu realized.
The benevolent Rock King would not be on high alert to guard against his own people.
And the law of nature takes advantage of this.
After Liu Sanhu lay down to rest, Gu Sanqiu sprinkled the prepared medicine, then came to his bedside, stretched out his right hand, and detected with his mental power.
The strength of mental power is normal, just like that of an ordinary person.
The physical strength is normal, equivalent to that of ordinary offshore workers, so there is no problem with that.
It doesn't look like he has cultivated any mysterious power.
“Is this really a random selection?”
In other words, if God is willing, it can actually control the minds of some people?
Gu Sanqiu shook his head subconsciously: "No, it should be that he is just too weak, and it is only partly psychological induction."
If such words were said under the premise of being controlled, the old man would probably be on guard.
"Tsk, there's nothing to gain, and I just wasted a lot of money."
Gu Sanqiu left Liu Sanhu's residence. At that time, he was thinking whether there would be a "religious organization" in Teyvat that believed in the principles of heaven, and whether it would be scattered around the world like dandelions.
Normally they live like the most normal citizens of the Seven Kingdoms, but if the person on the island needs them, they will take some seemingly unrelated actions.
And when these actions are integrated together, they will eventually produce a chain reaction, enabling the law of nature to achieve its goals.
"Tianli Sect?"
Gu Sanqiu twisted his mouth and said, "What's so good about that woman? Or can she give me a lot of benefits? But wouldn't that conflict with my own behavior and will?"
It is very confusing and I have no idea why.
After Gu Sanqiu left, Liu Sanhu suddenly opened his eyes, then climbed up from the bed with a vigilant look on his face, quietly left Liyue Harbor through a secret passage, and headed towards Guiliyuan.
"Hey, great captain, where do you want to go?"
The man in black robe blocked Liu Sanhu's way with a smile: "Hello, little friend, I have a few good brothers who want to chat with you, may you do me the honor of coming over?"
Liu Sanhu didn't say anything, but kept staring at the man in black robe left and right.
"Forget it. Whether you honor me or not, it has nothing to do with me."
The man in black robe snapped his fingers, and the space in all directions began to spin, and waves of purple-black power spread out.
"It's you. Have you finally made up your mind to join us?"
The man in black robe looked at the "monster" that walked out of the space crack and picked his nose impatiently.
"I'm not joining you, I'm just here to make a deal with you this time."
"Five hundred new sprouts. You can take this Liyue person away with payment in person. Isn't that a fair price?"
The monster glanced at Liu Sanhu, and a burning light burst out from his eyes.
"Haha, five hundred new sprouts, I'll do the deal!"
The purple-black space instantly repelled the black-robed man. “Someone will bring you the new sprouts, but you are amazing. You can actually stay calm at a time like this.”
The man in black robe looked at the purple-black space gradually sinking into the ground and couldn't help but grin.
At a time like this?
It seems that the weird old man is very successful. Even these people think that you are really dead.
"But there is a problem."
The man in black robe scratched his hair in annoyance: "Have you asked me to go to work too many times recently? Is this a sign that troubled times are coming?"
"I'm so annoyed. When can I retire? When I retire, I will definitely lie down outside my house like a homeless person and tease the one at home, hehehe."
The man in black robe returned to the cave and said , "Strange old man, there is indeed something wrong with that man. He has been targeted by the people of the abyss. You should be relieved now."
"Reassurance is far from enough."
Zhongli looked a little serious: "So that's how it is. This time it was indeed my mistake. I actually have such a trick."
"No matter what means are used, you are going to retire anyway, old man. There is no essential difference between early retirement and late retirement, right?"
The man in black robe spread his hands and said, "But can you change someone else to do the job next time? You know my physical condition very well. What if you tire me to death?"
Zhongli glanced at him calmly and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Oh, I just wanted to ask you if there are any living people in my family or other families. You can't always ask me to run errands for you. If there are, I can still chat with people of my age."
Zhongli stroked the teacup in his hand: "What do you think?"
"I've told you many times that I'm just a stupid and reckless man. Can you please be more straightforward when you talk to me, old man?"
Zhongli smiled: "You are still the same as before."
"But I'm sorry, I can tell you clearly that Zeyue and the others have their own things to do, and Xiao needs to guard Ogi Province. They basically don't have time to help you. You are the highest combat force on our side right now."
The man in black robe was shocked: "What the hell is the highest combat power? Whose highest combat power is a sickly ghost? What about you, old man? Did you eat my uncle? You don't even count this, what else can you say!"
"Ruo Tuo is naturally unable to take action under the Fulong Tree."
Zhongli raised his head and looked at the man in black robe: "I have lost my throne and no longer have the strength to fight the enemy, so I can only rely on you."
…
The black-robed man pointed outside the cave and said, "I would like to ask this person who has lost his godhood and power to walk back to Liyue Harbor on his own two feet. If it takes less than three days to get from Guiliyuan to Liyue Harbor, I will call all the immortals to come and see you."
It's okay to cheat other people, but isn't it a bit exaggerated to want to cheat even me?
Zhongli said with a serious face: "My divine power has really dissipated. I don't have any power at all."
"Then how did you know that my family member was investigating? And who sent me a long-distance message from inside the cave?"
Zhongli pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, that is my last bit of strength."
…
The man in black robe sat back helplessly, covering his face.
I understand, I understand. From now on, I will tell everyone that the old man has become a poor man who is powerless.
He had to choose to believe such crude words and scams , and the man in black felt offended.
