Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Su Xun didn't have too many feelings about this. He didn't care about the cause of their death. As long as they didn't pose a threat to him, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.

but……

Thinking that the reason for coming here was to see the essence of the soul, Su Xun knew that he still needed to come into contact with them in order to understand the specific structure of the soul.

Thinking of this, he felt embarrassed. After all, these souls were just the spirits of ordinary Liyue people with obsessions. How could he have the nerve to study them directly in order to understand their souls?

Su Xun began to feel distressed.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Hu Tao in front saw that Su Xun was walking slower and slower without realizing it, so he stopped and looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing... By the way, you haven't told me how you're going to take me to see the world. Are you just going to take a look at these souls?"

Su Xun came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, then looked around and said casually.

"Eh~ You can actually see these souls? Hmm... As expected, the disciples of the Immortal Family are not ordinary. It seems that I still underestimated you!"

Hearing this, Hu Tao couldn't help but look at Su Xun in surprise, his tone full of admiration.

"Just a few insignificant tricks..." Su Xun smiled helplessly, there was nothing to be proud of.

"Well, I wanted to scare you..." Walnut muttered, feeling a little disappointed.

Su Xun's face darkened.

Hello! I can hear you!

“Ahem! Since you can see these souls, there’s no need for me to use any magic. Just follow me, we’re almost there.

I have something serious to do this time, you can learn a lot just by watching quietly from the side!" Hu Tao changed the subject.

Su Xun snorted lightly, but didn't care.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the two arrived at the entrance of a valley.

In this desolate land, there are jagged rocks and broken walls everywhere.

Those old stone walls are engraved with illegible ancient characters, as if telling a forgotten history and revealing an atmosphere of long-standing civilization.

Su Xun walked forward curiously, stared at the stone walls for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

Well, he had no clue about these ancient texts.

"These should be the magical characters used by the ancient alchemists of Liyue to exorcise evil spirits. They may have been carved to seal some evil force." Seeing that Su Xun was interested in this, Hu Tao explained casually.

"Oh? Is there still evil spirit sealed here? Could it be a Chi?" Su Xun was stunned, then he touched his chin and began to fall into deep thought.

"Hey, you actually knew that Wuwangpo once sealed the Chi beast?" Hu Tao seemed a little surprised.

Su Xun just smiled and replied: "I have read relevant records in ancient books."

Hu Tao nodded in understanding after hearing this, and then said seriously: "Speaking of which, although there is indeed a legend that the Chi beast is sealed in Wuwang Slope, the seal is not here. Wuwang Slope is a place where real souls gather, and hostility towards the living is everywhere.

You must follow my steps closely later. If you are surrounded by them, even if you are a disciple of the immortal family, the result will not be good. "

Su Xun nodded carefully.

Although he was confident in his abilities, he could not take it lightly in this unknown and dangerous place.

After all, there is always a dangerous force hidden on the edge of life and death.

The journey was uneventful, but the further we went into the valley, the rarer the spirits became. It seemed that there was something terrifying in the depths that made them dare not approach.

The cliffs on both sides were hazy under the cover of fog, and the path in the valley seemed like a tunnel leading to the underworld. If ordinary people mistakenly entered this place, they would most likely be terrified and their bodies would go numb.

Fortunately, both of them were not ordinary people and did not feel anything at all. Hu Tao was used to it, while Su Xun was skilled and bold, and looked around curiously.

After a while, Walnut stopped.

"arrive!"

Su Xun withdrew his gaze and looked forward.

I saw that the gorge ahead gradually became wider, and at the end was a platform of about 100 square meters. On the platform grew several ancient trees with lush branches and leaves and swaying shadows.

In the center of the platform, there is a stone altar with some ancient symbols carved on it, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

When Su Xun and Hu Tao stepped onto the platform, they immediately felt a peaceful and solemn atmosphere, as if there was an invisible force attracting them.

Walnut walked to the altar and reached out to gently touch the ancient symbols.

Su Xun looked behind her curiously and asked, "So what are you doing here?"

“I came to Wuwangpo once some time ago. When I was doing business, I noticed a terrifying evil aura flashing by here. However, because I was busy at that time, I didn’t have time to investigate in depth. I just left some surveillance measures as a precaution and left.

This morning I felt that aura again through the means I left behind, so I brought you here to check it out.

If there really is an evil spirit, I will hold a purification ceremony to prevent any dangerous creature from appearing and destroying the boundary between yin and yang."

Kurumi said without turning her head, her fingers gently running over the symbols on the altar, as if searching for something.

Su Xun understood. No wonder Hu Tao was in such a hurry this morning. He suppressed his curiosity and began to look around carefully.

After a quick glance, he discovered that in addition to the symbols on the altar, there were also some strange patterns on the ground of the platform, as if they were traces of some kind of ritual. Su Xun squatted down and observed these patterns carefully.

"These patterns... seem to be left over from ancient sacrificial ceremonies." Su Xun muttered to himself. He noticed that there was a vortex-like shape in the center of the pattern, surrounded by some outlines that looked like animals and people.

After walking around the altar, I found some broken jade and pottery scattered around the altar. These objects were engraved with similar symbols and looked like ancient offerings.

Walnut came over and asked: "Did you find anything?"

"This should be an ancient sacrificial site." Su Xun responded.

"Look at these symbols. They may be ancient sacrificial texts, recording the sacrificial rituals and beliefs of the time."

Kurumi nodded; she had the same opinion.

She picked up a piece of broken jade and carefully observed the symbols on it, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"I have seen these symbols in ancient books. They represent the ancient people's worship and prayers for gods. Perhaps this place was once an important sacrificial site for a certain tribe."

The two continued to explore on the platform and then discovered a stone chamber hidden behind an ancient tree.

There is a stone platform in the stone chamber, on which are placed some ancient sacrificial items, such as earthenware jars, incense burners, sacrificial wine and offerings.

These items are all well preserved, free of dust, and look as if they have just been used, brand new.
