Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"Emperor, I have guarded Dihua Island north of Liyue for a thousand years in accordance with the contract, without any mistakes.

The people of Liyue have performed quite well recently. Facing several attacks from demons, Liyue has been able to remain calm and maintain a good balance between relaxation and activity.

I think the people of Liyue have the ability to protect themselves. My karma is getting heavier. In the past few days, I have heard a lot of news about him. I think if I don’t go now, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance in the future...”

Xiao seemed very reserved and uneasy, and seemed unable to speak.

The Emperor was in high spirits, listening to the storyteller bragging about his words. At this moment, he was talking about the sudden appearance of a monster from the depths of a huge rock abyss hundreds of years ago.

Slaughtering countless lives in Liyue.

The Emperor led the Thousand Rocks Army deep into the abyss, fighting to the death. Among them was an unnamed four-armed Yaksha who shone brilliantly.

"This is the mortal world, there is no need to be so formal. Just call me by my ordinary name - Zhongli."

"How dare you overstep your bounds!"

The lives of these immortals are too long, except for Gechen Langshi Zhenjun, who is immersed in the streets all year round. Most of them are still bound by the red tape thousands of years ago and do not know how to keep up with the times.

The same goes for Xiao. If there weren't so many people here, he would definitely be half-kneeling on the ground talking to Zhongli.

"Forget it. I have no intention of restricting you. It is your own choice to decide where to go. I just want to remind you that this place is dangerous. Please be careful."

"Yes!"

"Zhongli and Xiao! What a coincidence, you are here too!" Paimon excitedly wanted to fly up and say hello.

It was just that there were too many people around, and Xiao couldn't stand the noise. After getting the emperor's affirmative answer, he walked quickly like flying.

With a turn, it turned into a light green light and disappeared from the sight of the travelers and others.

"What a shy boy." Jiraiya said teasingly, and sat down in front of Zhongli casually.

Zhongli seemed to have expected to meet here, and took a sip of the hot tea, "It's not that he is shy and unkind, he is just too gentle and doesn't want to hurt others.

The storyteller on the stage only talked about how the four-armed Yaksha and the thousands of Thousand Rock Army were fearless and brave, and how they rushed forward one after another to stab the monsters in the depths of the abyss with their spears.

But they didn’t know what kind of suffering that Yaksha and the Thousand Rocks Army at that time were enduring.

Knowing it is impossible, but still doing it..."

"I always feel that the topic has become inexplicably heavy..."

Paimon muttered, then said calmly, "Zhongli, you must know the most. We are going to the Stratum Chasm. Is there anything we should be careful of?"

"The huge rock abyss? It's really the will of heaven." Zhongli murmured softly, and then took out an extremely bright and colorful stone.

"Wow, what is this? It's so shiny and beautiful!"

Paimon flew around the colorful stone excitedly.

Jiraiya was somewhat concerned about Zhongli's casual murmur, which seemed to correspond to the doctor's words: "In this illusory world, there is no such thing as coincidence. The intersection of all events is inevitable."

Is this a coincidence or a necessity?

"Lumen stone. In the depths of the abyss, it is almost impossible to light a fire, or it is dangerous to light a fire. This lumen stone can be said to be the best lighting medium.

Those Thousand Rocks who had once ventured deep into the abyss were able to maintain their sanity only under the illumination of this glory."

Looking at the Lumen Stone in Zhongli's hand, the two idiots, Yidou and Paimon, were mesmerized.

But Kakashi frowned and said, "Stay rational?"

"Paimon knows this! If he stays in the dark for a long time, he will be scared and lose his mind!"

Zhongli did not answer, but smiled meaningfully and then shouted to the waiter in the store: "Shopkeeper, another serving of three-shredded pork with pickled pork and preserved vegetables. These guys will pay for it."

……

I always feel that Zhongli is getting more and more skilled at getting people to pay.

Fortunately, he had some conscience and didn't order any overly expensive dishes. But on second thought, it was probably because most of the expensive dishes were seafood.

Zhongli has been fighting with those sea creatures for thousands of years, so much so that he gets goose bumps when he sees seafood. He also has a psychological trauma just thinking about how Jiraiya and his crew only had a fight with the demon Chi.

Not to mention Zhongli's situation.

There was not much conversation. After taking the Lumen Stone from Zhongli, Paimon felt a lot more at ease.

After all, Zhongli is the god of Liyue, so he must know what happened in Liyue. Since he didn't ask and didn't say anything, there must be some hidden secrets.

In short, at least Zhongli is still helping them.

"Anyway, let's set off! Paimon will lead the way! Hehe~" We had been to many places before, but Paimon was never used.

After all, there is Albedo in Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, there is Big Sister Beidou in the sea, and there is Afu in Heguan.

This time, I finally got to use my skills in the Layered Rock Abyss! They passed Tianheng, escaped to Yuling, and entered Qiaogu. The group traveled for nearly a week.

But finally, they arrived at the entrance of the huge rock abyss - Fu'ao Valley.

But before they could take a look at the magnificent sight of the largest mine in all of Teyvat, they were stopped by several burly men with dark red skin.

Judging from their body shapes and the gray slag on their bodies, they must be local miners.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you read the notice from the Thousand Rocks Army? The Layered Abyss has been closed, and the brigade is prohibited from entering."

"Ah? What happened?"

"What? If you have any complaints, go to Qixing. We don't want to do it anymore. We've been living in fear these days. We can't even mine, so how can we support our family?"

The two miners looked bitter as they spoke.

"Alas, who said it wasn't true? It's been a busy time recently, and Qixing has no time to manage this place. He can only cut the blocked rock abyss with a knife.

They even sealed the entrance, and we don’t know how long it will last. How are we miners going to make a living?”

"Yes, yes. Not to mention the problem of making a living. Recently, I often hear news of brothers mysteriously disappearing in a certain mining area."

"Oh, who said it wasn't? It's not easy to live these days... The boss even set up a commission with the Adventurer's Association before.

Many adventurers came here, but none of them came back. They disappeared without a trace.”

"But, I heard that the head man asked for help from that legendary adventurer Kong He who defeated the demon god."

"And there's Paimon!" Paimon reminded angrily, why no one remembers his name!

The two miners became more and more excited as they talked, and almost forgot about Jiraiya, the traveler Paimon and the others.

It was only after Paimeng shouted at him that he reacted.

"Ah, yes, yes. The flying white man is called Paimon. Eh? Wait, why are you still here? We told you not to come in!"

...I've already mentioned the flying white man, and you still haven't reacted? Could these two guys be even dumber than Ichito?

Paimeng covered his forehead speechlessly, while not far away, a taller and more tanned guy came running over.

"Boss! Why are you here?!"
