Chapter 144 Please Eat Meat
Bai Mu vaguely remembered that Gui Zhong's death seemed to be related to the flood.
The words that followed from the Great Compassion Tree King confirmed his thoughts.
"The Demon God of Dust returned to the end. He was previously ambushed by the Demon God of the Sea, which led to the flooding of Guili Plain."
"In order to protect her people, she did not choose to leave, but stayed and tried her best to quell the flood in Guili Plain."
"For this reason, she suffered great trauma, and even her followers thought she was dead."
"In the end, it was Zhongli who arrived and resolved the disaster."
"If Zhong Li had arrived any later, or if other demons had attacked Gui Li Yuan, Gui Zhong might already be dead, just as you just said."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu understood.
At the same time, he also came to a conclusion that surprised him somewhat.
His time travel seems to have indirectly saved Gui Zhong from death.
The Great Tree King just said, "If other demons attack Guili Plain, Guizhong might really die."
If Bai Mu hadn't traveled through time, given the Chilong's hatred for Zhongli, it would definitely have interfered if Gui were in trouble.
Even though the Chilong had already been killed by Zhongli and its body was sealed in Qingce Manor.
But even if such a being has been killed, it can still use its remnant soul to cause a flood.
At that time, if Gui Zhong had to face a remnant soul of a dragon filled with hatred, he probably wouldn't have survived until Zhong Li arrived.
"Hey! Ying, look, that person looks just like Shiraki."
Just as Bai Mu was still pondering, a voice came from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.
"That person is Bai Mu; he just changed his clothes."
Ying looked in the direction Paimon was pointing.
After careful observation, she came to a conclusion.
Shiraki changed his clothes.
"Is that so? No, why can't I sense his previous aura from Shiraki anymore?"
After listening to Ying's words, Paimon observed carefully and found that it was indeed as Ying said; the person in front of him was Shiraki in a different outfit.
However, what surprised Paimon was that when Bai Mu was in Mondstadt, he would always emit his own aura to the outside world, but now Bai Mu's aura had disappeared.
Bai Mu, who had walked over, also heard Paimon's questioning words, and he smiled and explained to him:
"My aura is too conspicuous, so I've decided to conceal it somewhat."
After using his main body to move, Shiraki considered the issue of his own aura.
His aura was so powerful that if he didn't conceal it, he would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Therefore, Shiraki appropriately concealed his aura.
He didn't hide it too much; he simply did it in a way that ordinary people couldn't tell.
Those with even a little bit of strength can still sense his aura.
"Oh, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
After hearing Bai Mu's explanation, Paimon scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, the ritual to invite the immortals is about to begin. You should find a suitable place to watch first. I'll be leaving now."
Seeing that Ying seemed to have something she wanted to ask him, Shiraki quickly took his leave.
He led the Great Tree King to a place a little further away from Ying.
After the invocation ceremony begins, this "suspicious stranger" will become a wanted person by the Seven Stars.
As a model citizen, Bai Mu must not let others realize that he knows this stranger.
......
"The auspicious time has come."
After a while, Ningguang appeared at the altar.
As her voice rang out, the noise in the arena vanished instantly.
At this moment, even Hu Tao, who had been making a lot of noise, shut her mouth and stood quietly beside Zhong Li, watching the ceremony.
As Ningguang manipulated the altar, the once clear sky instantly became overcast.
On a small hill not far away, Xiao watched this scene with his brows furrowed so deeply that they looked like they could trap a fly.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a long, thin creature fell out of the dark clouds.
In the distance, Xiao, who had been frowning, was so shocked by this sudden scene that he collapsed to the ground.
Xiao, leaning on his musket, struggled to sit up.
He looked at the commotion around the altar, trying to spot Bai Mu among them.
However, just as Xiao Gang looked down at the crowd below, his heart, which had been as if the sky had fallen, suddenly calmed down.
Because he saw that, in the midst of the chaotic crowd, a boisterous young girl was pulling at a young man in a gilded robe, and they were talking about something.
"Zhongli, look! Look! The Emperor is dead!"
Not far from Bai Mu, Gui Zhong glanced at the "dragon corpse" lying on the ground, then at Zhong Li being pulled by Hu Tao, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
"The emperor has been killed, the whole place is sealed off!"
At this moment, Ningguang, recovering from her shock, waved her hand and ordered the Thousand Rock Army to seal off the crime scene.
Bai Mu looked at Ying, who was standing there in a daze, and directly transmitted his voice to her:
"What are you waiting for? Run!"
The sudden sound of Shiraki startled Ying.
However, she quickly realized what was happening and, regardless of who the voice belonged to, she ran directly towards the outer edge of the encirclement.
Ying's "guilty" behavior made the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Mu whispered to the Great Tree King, who was standing beside him watching the scene with great interest:
"Quickly, while we have the chance, help me switch that dragon corpse."
"what?"
Upon hearing Bai Mu's words, the Great Tree King was visibly taken aback.
She didn't understand why Shiraki suddenly had this idea.
Could it be that Shiraki has some kind of peculiar fetish, that he is interested in the corpses of his own kind?
Thinking of this, the Great Compassion Tree King felt a chill run down her spine, and she unconsciously moved further away from the white wood.
"Stop 'ah'ing, hurry up, I'll treat you to meat after it's done."
Seeing that the Great Tree King not only stopped helping him but even distanced himself from him, Bai Mu urged him again.
Upon hearing the words "eat meat," the Great Tree King also realized what was going on.
She also realized that she had just wronged Shiraki.
After realizing his mistake, the Great Tree King didn't waste any words.
She directly used some methods to obscure the perception of the "dragon corpse" among those present.
Then, without anyone noticing, the "dragon corpse" disappeared.
Instead, a fake body that looked exactly like the "dragon corpse" was created.
Apart from Zhongli and Guizhong, even Xiao was unaware that the "dragon corpse" had been switched.
