Chapter 184 Ready
"Hey Xianyun, stop keeping us in suspense! Tell me who has such great ability?" Paimeng stomped his feet anxiously.
Xianyun's expression was solemn yet hinted with anticipation as he spoke, "This person is Ge Chenlangshi. If Guizhong's initial conjecture is correct, then to successfully carry out our plan, we must create a special mechanism that can contain and effectively channel the power of the earth veins. Ge Chenlangshi's mastery of the immortal music technique will undoubtedly be of great use in this matter and lend us a helping hand. Furthermore, we'll need her help with the materials needed to construct the mechanism."
Hearing this, Ying, who was standing by, couldn't help but look puzzled and interrupted, asking, "But... can Grandma Ping's magic still affect the earth veins?"
Xianyun shook his head slightly and continued to explain: "This is the second key point I want to talk about next. Guizhong's consciousness and power are now well preserved in the earth veins, but a thousand years have passed in a hurry, and many new things have poured into the earth veins during this period. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to find someone who is extremely sensitive to the earth veins, and let her help us accurately explore Guizhong's consciousness and bring her back smoothly." After speaking, Xianyun looked embarrassed and turned his gaze to Ying, as if waiting for a response.
Ying said without hesitation, "Let me do it! I'm from outside Teyvat and have an extraordinary keen sense of the ley lines. I'm the perfect person to explore."
Xianyun nodded slightly, a look of relief on his face. He said softly, "With your words, Ying, I'm relieved. However, this operation will not be smooth sailing. The earth veins are full of unknowns and variables, and the situation is extremely complicated. You must be extra careful! Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, protecting your consciousness is the most important thing. We will all do our best to protect your safety."
At this time, Xin Yang and Ling Hua, who were standing nearby, said in unison: "Master, if you need to build a mechanism, then we two can also contribute our own strength!"
Xianyun smiled and patted his two disciples' heads, saying gently, "You are both good and sensible children, but this time it won't work. This mechanism is a completely new experiment for me, so let me do it myself. The most urgent task right now is to quickly head to Liyue Harbor to find Gechenlang City. Emperor, we can complete all preparations in two days at most. In the meantime, please stay here to guard in case of any unexpected situations."
Zhongli nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you. There won't be any accidents."
Xianyun immediately set off with everyone and rushed towards Liyue Harbor.
Liyue Harbor is still as prosperous and bustling as ever, with people coming and going and the noise of the crowds never ending.
At this time, Grandma Ping was carefully teaching Yaoyao the skills of making mechanisms. She was holding various materials in her hands and patiently explaining each step to Yaoyao.
"Hey, Xianyun, how come you have time to bring so many friends to see me today?" Grandma Ping raised her head and saw Xianyun coming with a group of people, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Aping, I need your help with something urgent." Xianyun looked anxious and walked quickly to Grandma Ping.
Immediately afterwards, Xianyun told Grandma Ping everything about Guizhong.
After hearing this, Grandma Ping's expression suddenly became serious. She frowned and said, "Xianyun, this is not something you can joke about. I have always kept the matter of Guizhong in mind, but what you said about taking things away from the earth veins is not that easy to do."
Xianyun hurriedly responded anxiously, "A Ping, I know very well that this matter is more difficult than I could have imagined. But you also know that after all this time, we finally have this glimmer of hope to help Gui Zhong. I really don't want to let this opportunity go to waste. If Gui Zhong's original guess is correct, then this is the only way to save Gui Zhong."
Seeing Xianyun's determined eyes, Grandma Ping sighed slightly inwardly, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, let's fight together this time. I still have some precious materials for making mechanisms, you can take them. I plan to go to Guiliyuan first to see how Guizhong is doing."
"Aping, thank you for believing in me and believing in this glimmer of hope. The Emperor is also over at Guiliyuan, so you might as well go and see him and wait for my news." Xianyun said gratefully.
Grandma Ping patted Xianyun's shoulder gently and said, "Don't be too impatient. You have to be careful and cautious in everything you do. Making a mechanism like that is full of difficulties. Don't be reckless."
Xianyun nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Grandma Ping walked over to Xinyang and Linghua again and said, "Take good care of Xianyun and don't let her get too tired."
After saying that, Grandma Ping took Yaoyao and headed towards Guiliyuan.
Along the way, Yaoyao saw Grandma Ping's serious expression and couldn't help asking, "Master, can Guizhong really be rescued?"
Grandma Ping sighed softly, "This is a difficult matter, but since there's a glimmer of hope, we have to give it a try. After all, she... means so much to us."
Xianyun and his group quickly returned to their residence with the materials.
As soon as he returned to his room, Xianyun wanted to drive everyone else out, "You guys go out, I'm enough for you.
However, Xinyang and Linghua seemed not to hear it.
"Master, just now Grandma Ping specifically told us two to take good care of you. We can't leave, otherwise Grandma Ping will blame us for not taking good care of you."
Xianyun turned to Shen He and said, "Shen He, take Ying to rest first. She has a heavier task. The two of them are enough here."
Shen He hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and replied softly: "Okay, Master, I will take Ying to rest first, and you guys should not overwork yourself."
In a blink of an eye, only Xianyun, Xinyang and Linghua were left in the room.
"It's okay for you two to stay, but don't make trouble here. I want to concentrate on studying the production of this mechanism and cannot tolerate any mistakes." Xianyun said.
Xinyang and Linghua nodded quickly and responded obediently, "Master, don't worry. We'll just stay quietly by the side. You said this is a brand new attempt, so maybe we can give you some ideas. If that doesn't work, we'll just help you pass tools and give you some assistance. We won't cause any trouble."
Xianyun said no more and began to study the materials with full concentration.
Xinyang and Linghua sometimes helped Xianyun with his work; sometimes helped to make small parts; sometimes frowned and thought together because of a difficult problem.
After an unknown amount of time, Xianyun suddenly stopped what he was doing, his face full of fatigue.
"Master, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest for a while?" Linghua asked with concern.
Xianyun shook his head: "Time is running out, we can't rest. However, the key parts of this mechanism still need further consideration."
Xin Yang whispered, "Master, why don't you try my idea? Although the size will be a little bigger, the effect will at least be doubled."
Xianyun pondered for a moment and nodded: "Maybe we can give it a try."
The three of them plunged into intense research again. The lights in the room stayed on all night, until the next morning, when Xianyun finally revealed a satisfied smile.
"It's done!"
Looking at Xinyang and Linghua beside him, Linghua had fallen asleep leaning on Xinyang's shoulder, and Xinyang was nodding his head, obviously extremely sleepy.
Xianyun patted Xinyang gently and said, "It's a success. Go to sleep now. We will go to Guiliyuan later."
Xinyang opened his eyes drowsily. After hearing Xianyun's words, he tried to cheer himself up and replied, "It worked. That's great. Master, you should go and rest first. I can still handle it."
"You can handle it, but what about Linghua? Didn't you see she's already asleep? Hurry up and take Linghua back to sleep."
Xinyang finally came to his senses and looked at Linghua who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Master, I'll take Linghua back to rest now. You should also take a break. You've been busy all night."
