Chapter 221 The Overflow of Liyue's Ley Lines
Xu Ning said he was already used to Uncle Tian's consistent style of taking advantage of him.
Ye Lan and Zhi Yi's drama continues, but Xu Ning has his own things to do.
Before he could tell Ningguang what had happened that day, Xu Ning met "Qi" who was waiting for him at Yuehai Pavilion.
Xu Ning had always been quite curious about this "flag" whose family background was also rather mysterious.
The strange arts this guy uses, although not as powerful as "electricity" which uses talismans to blow people up, can be incredibly unpredictable if used well.
Therefore, every time Xu Ning saw the two of them, he couldn't help but marvel at the profound heritage that Liyue had accumulated over the millennia.
"Instructor Xu, there's a problem with the ley lines on the Guili Plain."
The word "flag" still refers to the old name.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "I'm no longer the instructor, just call me Xu Ning. What kind of question is it? The Earth Vein Suppressing Stone?"
"Qi" quickly waved his hand and said, "The earth vein suppressing stones are still playing their role as always. Although a very few suppressing stones were destroyed due to some monsters, the patrolling Thousand Rock Army quickly went to clear them out and then nailed on new suppressing stones."
"The problem lies with the earth's veins themselves. Well, since this is the first time I've encountered a situation like this, I'm not entirely sure either... After I came here, I heard that you seem to be dealing with a lot of things every day. I wonder when you'll be able to free up some time so I can accompany you to the place where the incident started?"
When Xu Ning heard about issues involving earth veins, he could no longer sit still.
"It's okay, I'm free anytime. Just mark the location for me, and I'll teleport you there right now."
The anomaly occurred at the border between Guiliyuan and Cuijuepo.
According to the information that "Banner" has already obtained, this location is neither a ley line node nor has it ever been seen that a large Hilichurl tribe has gathered here.
As Xu Ning listened to the description of "flag," he vaguely recalled some information from his previous life.
Upon arriving at the destination, as the "flag" lifted a corner of the flag gate it had set up, Xu Ning saw what was inside and immediately had a general idea of what was in front of him.
Enclosed by the unseen flag gate was an enormous cloud of blue mist, about the size of a house.
As if several invisible blue cracks had appeared on the ground, streams of blue mist surged up from underground and merged into the huge cloud of mist.
"The Flower of Revelation".
This is the name given to it in the Genshin Impact world of its previous life.
In Xu Ning's view now, this was simply because after they used the Leyline Suppressing Stone to suppress the Liyue Leylines, the memory fragments became congested, causing the Leylines to overflow and release all the accumulated memory fragments at once.
It's like a water supply system where countless families use water every now and then, and the system maintains normal pressure to supply water.
One day, all the water pipes in every household became clogged, causing a sudden increase in pressure throughout the system. The rapid flow of water would then break through the weak points in the pipes and overflow outside.
"Qi" watched as Xu Ning remained calm, seemingly unconcerned.
"Brother Xu, is there any danger associated with this?"
"Qi" was still not used to calling his former instructor by his name directly. He thought of what the elders in his family had said: Tian Shu Xing had always intended to tie Xu Ning to the Seven Stars' chariot. He figured it wouldn't be a loss to recognize an elder brother in advance.
Xu Ning was too lazy to keep arguing about the form of address, and praised "Qi" as "You did a very good job this time."
"The memories of these gushing ley lines are mostly the obsessions or battle aspirations of certain humans, gods, and demons. If one rashly falls into them, one may be injured by the demons that they manifest."
"Qi" asked, both surprised and impressed, "I have never read anything like this in any book. How did you know, Brother Xu?"
Xu Ning shook the Dust Concealment Gourd in his hand and laughed, "There is a place similar to this in my cave, only it is not as large as this one, so I naturally know a little about it."
"Here's what we'll do: widen the gate further outwards to block any people or forces that might pass through. I'll go in and deal with them quickly; they should be gone in less than half a day."
"Qi" nodded and quickly changed the position of its flag gate, expanding it outward by about ten meters.
Once the "flags" were set up, Xu Ning drank a mouthful of "immortal wine" and strode into the blue mist.
After setting up the flag gate, the "flag" did not retreat, but stood inside the flag formation, carefully observing the inside.
As Brother Xu said, as long as the ley lines in Liyue are still there, this situation will likely continue to occur frequently. It is very important for me to see clearly what kind of harm these blue mists might eventually cause.
Then, he heard the flag gate he had set up begin to rattle loudly.
The wind is rising; it's blowing from the gusts.
Whirlwinds carrying cyan mist began to rise wildly around the figure carrying the wine gourd in the center of the formation.
"Qi" also witnessed a spectacular sight he had never seen before in his life.
The bluish mist quickly transformed into howling monsters in the wind, falling almost like raindrops.
Aside from a few enormous creatures that fell to the ground due to their weight, the other, slightly lighter monsters were swept up by the gale before they even hit the ground, helplessly scratching and howling in mid-air.
At the same time, a strong, lingering smell of alcohol gradually filled the air.
"Drunken and insane!"
Accompanied by a snap of fingers and a sharp shout.
The whirlwind, thick with the smell of alcohol, suddenly transformed into a fiery hell. With the figure smashing and beating wildly in the flames, the countless monsters in the eye of the storm were reduced to ashes in no time.
"Qi" had already retreated from the flag formation. The fire that had erupted just now was merely some residual flames leaking out, and his flag formation had almost been broken.
He couldn't even imagine himself being caught in the eye of fire like Xu Ning, and how he would survive.
This Coach Xu, who had once taught them, always seemed unfathomable, and one could always see a terrifying strength emanating from him.
Just as he was admiring the sight, "Qi" suddenly saw a ragged figure burst out of the formation.
It was Xu Ning, who had just unleashed Firestorm.
At this moment, Xu Ning was in a terrible state. Not only were his clothes burned with holes all over his body, but even his hair and eyebrows were charred and curled in many places.
At this moment, Xu Ning was continuously washing himself from head to toe with a stream of pure water, yelling, "I messed up, I messed up! Ouch~ it hurts so much! Damn it, I almost burned to death in there!"
