Chapter 837 Descendants of the Wind-Horned Mystic Bird
Amazing?
Could it be that this auspicious coin, like the first Mora coin, possesses some kind of magical power?
At this moment, Liu Su practically wanted to glue her eyes to the auspicious coins in Xu Ning's hand, and she carefully examined them by pressing her face against Xu Ning's palm.
“Look at the unique patterns engraved on this coin. If I, Old Su, am not mistaken, this auspicious coin was probably made by the very hand of Prince Yan himself. We call these auspicious coins touched by the emperor ‘Emperor’s Coins.’ They are priceless treasures. Brother Xu Ning, the wine you gave away was definitely worth it…”
You found out about this? Imperial coins? I had no idea such a thing existed.
Xu Ning was certain that he had never seen such a thing when he was still in Liyue, otherwise how could he have no recollection of it at all?
"Brother Liu Su, this is just something I found at a roadside stall. It's not worth much and is probably just a fake."
Liu Su looked at Zhongli suspiciously. "A cheap roadside stall, is it? Then Brother Zhongli, why don't you give me one too?"
Wow, Lao Liu, you've got guts! Daring to chase after the Emperor for a gift. In the entire Liyue, besides Master Hu, there's now another one like you.
In truth, Xu Ning did have some doubts in his heart. Surely the Emperor wouldn't give me a gift for no reason, just to give me a blessing buff?
Although he remained outwardly calm, his other hand, hidden under the table, had already made several handprints without anyone noticing.
The various elemental forces of rock, water, wind, and thunder had already silently slid back and forth across that auspicious coin several times.
Well, there was no reaction at all, and I really didn't dare to do any in-depth research on the coin in my palm in front of Zhongli, so I could only flip my hand and put the auspicious coin away.
"Then thank you for your gift, Mr. Zhongli."
Liu Su continued to press Zhong Li relentlessly, asking, "Brother Zhong Li, could you please take me to the seller's place? I also want to ask for the blessing of Lord Yan. After all, even if the money is counterfeit, the symbol of Lord Yan on it cannot be faked. As long as the symbol is there, it means that Lord Yan is with you."
Zhongli stood up with a smile, "Alright, a walk is good too."
Xu Ning also stood up and watched Liu Su, who wanted to be with Prince Yan, go downstairs with Prince Yan.
You can still hear their conversation from a distance.
"Brother Zhongli, are you sure someone would set up a stall at this location? What? They might have sold out and packed up. Brother Zhongli, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Xu Ning couldn't help but take out the auspicious coin again and caress it, but still couldn't find anything special about it.
"This guy has been hiding his true intentions better and better over the years; it's almost impossible to figure out what he's thinking."
Just as I was thinking about whether to go to Wanwen Collection House to find two ancient books describing the principles of change, and to study Zhongli's mysterious words, I suddenly felt a flash of silver light downstairs, as if something familiar had passed by.
"Is that the swallow? I must be right, it really did come to us on its own."
Xu Ning laughed and took a big gulp of drink. He pressed his hand on the railing and leaped directly toward the target he had just seen.
"Is this person from the Lan Clan of Chenyu Valley?"
Xu Ning landed lightly in front of a girl with black hair and purple eyes, dressed in traditional silver jewelry from Chenyu Valley, and asked her a question.
The girl was not alarmed by Xu Ning's sudden appearance; instead, she looked him up and down with curious eyes.
When she saw the gourd of wine that Xu Ning was carrying, she finally exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"
This made Xu Ning extremely frustrated. Everyone had to rely on the gourd to recognize people. Could it be that the gourd was my true form?
"The one carrying the gourd, could you also be a descendant of the Eight Wonders, here to join us and save Liyue Harbor?"
So you didn't know me at all!
Xu Ning was both amused and exasperated. He had thought he was seeing another guy who could recognize a person just by looking at a gourd, but this one was even more outrageous.
She actually claimed to be a descendant of the "Eight Wonders"? How could I call myself a descendant? I am the Eight Wonders!
"That's a long story. I can only say that I have quite a connection with two of the Eight Extraordinary Ones. And I only recognized you because I saw the silver feather and jade bird ornament on your head. When you said you were meeting with them, did other descendants of the Eight Extraordinary Ones come besides you?"
The girl seemed delighted to have met someone connected to Baqi. She touched the silver ornament on her head and said, "There is another one, the successor of the Crimson Flame Butterfly. I came to Liyue Harbor to find her, but she seems to have gone out on business and hasn't returned for two days..."
The Hall of Rebirth is a legacy inherited from the Crimson Fire-Inducing Butterfly, a fact that Xu Ning was naturally aware of.
"So you're also looking for Master Hu of the Hall of Rebirth. What a coincidence! I came here to find her guest and inquire about her whereabouts. Since we've met, why don't we find a place nearby to sit down and combine the information we both have?"
“Okay,” the girl said without any hesitation. After taking a couple of steps, she realized that she hadn’t introduced herself yet.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lan Yan."
Xu Ning smiled and introduced himself. Finding that the girl seemed unaware of his reputation, he didn't elaborate further and led her to Wanmin Hall.
"I was in a rush to leave this morning and didn't have a drop of water. Would you mind if we had some breakfast together?"
Lan Yan smiled generously and said, "I haven't eaten anything either. I heard the food here is especially delicious, so I won't be polite."
The two sat down and casually ordered a few snacks from Master Mao. Then Xu Ning asked directly, "Where did you get the news of the death aura invasion in Chenyu Valley? Did you use the Lan Clan's esoteric arts to predict it in advance...?"
Lan Yan quickly shook his head and said, "Actually, no, it was my grandfather who discovered it first."
"Although we are also a branch of the Lan clan, we separated from the main family a long time ago. However, we didn't actually learn much of the Qimen Dunjia technique passed down by the Wanxiang Fengjiao Lingguan in the family genealogy. In my grandfather's hands, he could only make a little money by telling fortunes and divination for people, which was not as much as I could make by weaving handicrafts."
"But recently, Grandpa said that his divination had gone wrong. When it came to marriage and career, everything was fine, but when it came to lifespan, he found that there were many people on the street who died young. He had nothing better to do, so he had almost done divination for everyone in Shenyu Valley, but not a single one of them lived a long life. This really scared Grandpa."
Ha, I didn't expect that the methods passed down by that mysterious guy would actually be quite effective.
Xu Ning nodded. "So that's why you came out to investigate?"
"Yes, when we came out to inquire about the situation, we found that the place where the disease first appeared on a large scale was Qingce Village. There were few young and middle-aged people and many elderly people there, so the reaction was particularly obvious. It can be seen that the death energy entered the body and eroded the vitality. The problem most likely originated from Wuwang Slope there."
