Chapter 770 Xumi City (4)
"..."
Ying and Iya slowly woke up again, and when they opened their eyes, they saw Paimon and Mengmi Yue Ruixi standing in front of them.
As soon as he saw Ying wake up, Paimeng asked, "How is it? Did you see the World Tree? How is He now?"
Ying and Iya blinked, recalling what happened.
Because he wanted to confirm the situation of the World Tree again, Paimon suggested using the spirit phenol incense to lead the two into dreams again, and the two happily agreed.
So Ming Yuan had no choice but to mix a piece of phenol incense on the spot and light it to help the two people with special physiques fall asleep.
Paimon and Meng Mizuki were both looking forward to the details of the World Tree that the two could bring back, even though the World Tree seemed to have nothing to do with them.
However, when it comes to such a major matter, anyone who is responsible, kind-hearted, or wise will not ignore matters related to the World Tree.
After all, the World Tree concerns the safety of the entire Teyvat.
That's why Paimon and Meng Jianyue Ruixi were particularly concerned about whether the two would bring back any news.
But unfortunately, this is destined to be disappointing.
Ying shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, no."
Iya also shook his head and said, "No, no."
This time, neither of them was able to see the World Tree in their dream like last time. They just had an ordinary sleep, that was all.
Hearing this, Paimon and Mengjian Yue Ruixi felt a little lost.
Ming Yuan, who hadn't held out any expectations from the beginning, said calmly, "As expected, it's just as I thought. Seeing the World Tree earlier was just a coincidence."
"And only someone as special as you can see the World Tree at such a time and in such a scene."
"It can be said that the right time, right place, and right people are all indispensable."
Ming Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to repeat this coincidence a second time..."
"It's difficult, difficult, difficult~"
Paimon scratched his head and said, "Uh... I don't understand."
Dreaming of Yue Ruixi patiently explaining to Paimon: "Paimon, Teacher Mingyuan means that Lingphenol Fragrance can help you see the World Tree, but it's not a 100% surefire way to succeed."
"This is more like... a low-probability event."
Ming Yuan nodded: "Although there is a big difference, it is good that you understand it like this."
[Human words: Just understand this version with your IQ.]
[And persecuted Paimeng again.]
[It's a rare opportunity for Paimon to produce such astonishing wisdom. The effect can't be said to be ineffective, but it can only be said to be infinitely close to zero.]
[Attempt to speedrun the story failed.]
When I saw the allergy treatment in the Tinari line, I was wondering if this was a fix for a speedrun bug. Then I realized it could only be used once.
Ying asked, "Did Mingyuan already know that something like this would happen?"
Ming Yuan nodded calmly: "It's obvious that falling unconscious after smelling the scent of phenol is not a necessary condition, otherwise no one in Xumi would have seen the World Tree in person until now."
"After all, Ling Phenol Incense is a necessity for Xumi scholars to practice. Every year, there are at least a thousand people who use Ling Phenol Incense in Xumi."
"So the focus is not on the fragrance of phenol, but on you."
Ying frowned when she heard this and asked, "So according to what you said..."
"When we fell into a coma for the second time, we should have seen the World Tree again, but we didn't."
"Why is this?"
“…” Ming Yuan remained silent.
Ying and the others were waiting for this knowledgeable senior immortal beast to give a reasonable explanation.
After a long moment, Ming Yuan spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
Everyone fell down.
Paimon Void stomped his feet and said angrily: "Don't you know that you can't just say it directly? Why are you keeping silent? You made us wait in vain."
Ming Yuan retorted:
"No one said silence. They were just trying to figure out a solution. Or maybe they were wondering if they had any relevant knowledge..."
[Being silent for a moment, creating anticipation, and then suddenly saying you don't know is a common reversal tactic.]
[This is already an old joke~]
【The key to a meme is to be fun, not to be old.】
[As we all know, some memes and routines survive to this day because they are effective...]
Paimon was speechless about this.
Ying sighed and said, "The clue ends here. What else can we do now?"
When these words were spoken, everyone smiled helplessly.
However, just when everyone was at a loss, Ming Yuan said slowly, "Who said the clues ended here?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Ming Yuan.
Ming Yuan smiled calmly and said, "I don't know why the two of you can't enter the World Tree again. It's because my understanding of the World Tree comes from my experience over thousands of years."
"But I'm not the one who knows the World Tree best."
"As far as I know, there are at least two people who understand the World Tree better than I do."
Ming Yuan held up a finger: "One is the Marshal."
"The Marshal has never been to Xumi, and most likely has never seen the World Tree, but he is the Demon God of Nature, a ray of the origin of the world of Teyvat."
"When I said before that 'He' and the World Tree are related, it wasn't a joke, it was the truth."
"So if he's the Marshal, he will most likely know the reason."
[Living legend——Brother Bai.]
Even after arriving in Xumi, this man's shadow has never truly left. Since the beginning of Liyue, he has always loomed over our journey, but I am happy with it!
[There's nothing much to say, just write a letter and quickly go to Liyue to invite Ancestor Jun Bai!]
Ying's eyes lit up when she heard that.
Then you can go back to Liyue to find Jun Bai. There is a teleportation anchor point anyway, so it won’t take too long to go back and forth.
Then, Ming Yuan raised another finger: "The second one is the current Grass God, the little auspicious grass king."
"Legend has it that the Great Compassion Tree King is the incarnation of the World Tree. The Little Auspicious Grass King, who shares the same origin as her, is likely to also have some connection to the World Tree."
"So she might also know about the World Tree."
What happened next became simple and clear. Ying and his group wrote a letter and asked the mechanical bird Chiling to deliver it to Liyue to inform Jun Bai of the relevant matters that happened in Xumi.
Then, Ying and his group went to Xumi City, found the Little Auspicious Grass King, and asked him about the World Tree.
When two lines of evidence are being drawn together, we're not afraid of overlaps, but we're afraid of omissions. In this matter, it's always better to be cautious.
Just when Ying and his group were excited and about to set off for Xumi City, Mingyuan began to pour cold water on the three of them.
"I need to desensitize you two during this period. You are not allowed to go anywhere and stay here." Ming Yuan used his authority as a doctor to reject the discharge applications of two patients and a former patient.
"Huh?" x2
Ying and Iya looked confused.
"No, now that we've confirmed that your ability to see the World Tree has nothing to do with the Spiritual Fragrance, we need to address your allergy issue."
"You don't want to faint from the smell of phenol while wandering around the streets, and end up leaving your life in the hands of a little guy with only one-fifth the fighting power of a wild boar, right?"
Ming Yuan pointed at Paimon standing beside him and said.
Paimon: Dare to be angry but not to speak.jpg
Because this person is telling the truth!
"I think we can discuss it again." Ying felt that she could still be saved, and Yiya beside her nodded repeatedly.
As for why the two of them resisted so much...
Mainly because the bitter taste in their mouths when they woke up for the first time really left a very deep impression on them.
If I stay here for desensitization, I might have to drink that bitter medicine every day...
Don't do that kind of thing!
"Not negotiable."
"Ruixi, close the door and make the medicine."
"is teacher!"
Following Ming Yuan's order, the clinic's door closed again. After Ying and her team recovered from the old patient, they welcomed two new patients...
……
Liyue, Fengdeng Tower.
Jun Bai's expression after seeing Ming Yuan mention him: (°ー°〃)
Don't come over here! I'm on vacation!
It was rare that Jun Baicai decided to avoid appearing in front of the players as much as possible for the next period of time.
As a result, after receiving this letter, it would be difficult for him to refuse unless he had a particularly suitable reason.
Then I will have to work overtime on the Xumi plot.
Don’t do that kind of thing!
Jun Bai immediately stood up and paced around the room, starting to think about what excuse he could use to refuse going to Xumi after the letter sent by Ying and his group arrived.
