Chapter 130: The Courtyard of Silence (Update 1.23)
Facts have proved that Ming Chong is not only easy to coax, likes to stir up trouble, and gets bored with the old and loves the new, but he also has an exceptionally good memory.
At this moment, Ming Chong's cheerful and lively voice suddenly rang in Murtada's mind -
"Surprised? Unexpected? Thrilling? I have everything you like!"
He quickly shook his head, dismissing the scene he had imagined with disgust.
——hetui!
—Damn it, I never found sentences like that funny.
In short, it’s all Ming Chong’s fault!
A few months ago, Murtada never realized that he had such a rich imagination.
However, it was too late now. After Kusela's appearance caused an interruption, Murtada failed to take the most appropriate precautions or delaying measures in the first place.
At a certain moment, Murtada suddenly had a blessing.
He began to wonder if he was the only one in their group who would appear next to Ming Chong when he tried to cause trouble and would try his best to stop him.
The rest of the people either stood by and watched, or lent a hand silently, or even joined in with joy...
If you think about it calmly, it seems that no one can defeat Ming Chong. Generally speaking, he will succeed in whatever he wants to do.
——So, why am I the one who appears here?
——And why do I always fail again and again, yet I keep trying to stop it tirelessly?
It's not just because of the Courtyard of Silence. Ming Chong asked him to appear here. Could this be the reason as well?
Could it be... that he just likes the feeling of a back-and-forth tug-of-war with others?
How ridiculous!
But Murtada felt that this was inexplicably real, as if he had become an interesting part of the other party's trouble.
So, he put away all his expressions, put on a stern face, acted as if he was not involved, watched the development of the situation, and tried to make himself a cold person.
…
What Ming Chong wanted to do was not complicated. After stretching his joints, he looked at the ruins over there. His sight touched the pattern that looked like an eye, and he immediately remembered what Amon had said.
For him, the time interval between gazing at this land, those dilapidated ruins, and those mottled lines was not long.
The times we live in have changed, one was more than 400 years ago, and the other was more than 400 years later.
It’s just that the feeling he had was the same.
——"You and I once shared the same eyes."
The Red King's malicious voice seemed to still echo in his ears. If Ming Chong was more sensitive, he might feel creepy.
However, every time he thought of this sentence, he only felt that he had fallen into some low-level prank of the Red King.
——Why are you so proud?
Ming Chong was quite dissatisfied, and his dissatisfaction was about to burst out.
Due to the fact that the continent of Teyvat has been in constant reincarnation, even Buyel can sense it because of the World Tree.
Then, Nabu, who is known as the "prophet", and Amon, who can predict the future to a certain extent, may have some hidden tricks in some corner of the continent of Teyvat, just as they said.
...Since the memory of the simulation was not as vivid as the feeling of moving his arms and fingers, Ming Chong only noticed a sense of abruptness when he felt something was wrong.
As he walked on the land of Xumi, still with Gabriel, Sameer and Yufei, he suddenly was able to see people's future.
The simulator told him that this ability only worked when he was on the continent of Teyvat. Ming Chong almost immediately guessed that this power, or these eyes that could see the future, came from the Red King.
Ming Chong still remembers the first person's future he saw. That person's name was Tadella.
But he never felt that the special person was Tadella. Something must have happened somewhere else that caused him to trigger the Red King's backhand.
Thinking about how he had been to the Tomb of the Red King and the Hall of the Holy Apparition before arriving in Gul City... and it turned out that these places all had some mysterious power, according to Youfei's explanation, there might still be some kind of great will flowing there.
After figuring out the logic behind this, Ming Chong put the matter behind him.
It's good enough to have a general understanding of it. There's no need to dig into the details. Otherwise, it might become a tool for Chi Dynasty to show off or even whet his appetite.
Of course, based on Ming Chong's understanding of Chi Wang, the other party might not necessarily do such a thing, but if it were Ming Chong himself, there is no doubt that he would definitely do such a thing.
——This is like judging others by your own standards.
However, whenever Ming Chong thought of this sentence, he was no longer sure what kind of person the Red King was.
He briefly savored his experience in the simulated Fontaine and realized that, ultimately, their purpose was to make him form an impression of them.
This sentence left an indelible impression of Chi Wang in Ming Chong's mind. Simply put, it was the impression of a male ghost.
So no matter how indulgent, tolerant, and lenient the Red King was towards him later, Ming Chong's first words to the Red King were definitely -
"You and I once shared the same eyes."
It's the kind that when I wake up from a nightmare at night, I will suddenly sit up and curse, "Are you sick?"
Therefore, before leaving that time period 400 years ago, Ming Chong left behind "the eyes of the Red King".
It sounds abstract, but it's actually quite simple to do. All you have to do is extract the power of those eyes and stick it somewhere...
Whether it is a prank or not is another matter. Let King Chi watch his people fight for a few hundred years first.
Ming Chong's purpose was also very simple, simply because - "It is the Red King's job to forgive, rule, and protect the Sand People. What I have to do is to let them see the Red King."
After coming up with an idea, Ming Chong could start taking action as the first step. There are many ways to resurrect, but the method Ming Chong chose for the Red King is more complicated.
It is not enough to just stick the power of the eyes in a certain place. If you want to gather all the power and backup plans left by the Red King, you must first "see", which is another function of the "eyes".
Next, Ming Chong took out his net bag naturally and contentedly.
What? You ask where the net bag comes from?
Of course, it was left behind when I was playing the game "Let's catch jellyfish (crossed out) Little Tornado" with [Ming Chong's only younger brother] Xing Karami.
That’s right, use this net bag with wind power.

Over the next 400 years, the power of the Red King was connected step by step. By the time Ming Chong returned to his present time, the Red King must have seen enough of the scenery.
It's time to take the next step.
After stretching his wrist, he tugged, and the net bag tugged. It was also the season for fishermen to reap a bountiful catch, and Ming Chong grinned, revealing a simple (?) or honest (?) smile.
…
The scene changes suddenly.
In the eyes of the three Xumi people present, this was not a simple action of closing the net.
Ming Chong raised his hand and gently moved it upwards, and suddenly a cluster of connected blue-green lines appeared in the sky, forming a net.
Crimson light streamed in from all directions, some deep, some shallow. As that power flowed along the veins, it practically dyed the entire sky a fiery crimson, like dusk.
Then, as the power gradually gathered, the ruins not far ahead gradually glowed with a different color. It vibrated, and then an ethereal, mysterious roar sounded from the depths.
Kusela's limp leg trembled unconsciously, and he tightly grasped the crutch he was holding. His voice was hoarse, "Is it, is the end coming?"
Murtada, unable to maintain his expressionless face, instinctively wanted to refute. After all, Ming Chong was abstract, but it was still a far cry from the end of the world.
——The main reason is that my thinking can’t keep up.
But if he said that Ming Chong had caused the end of the world, he actually thought it was possible. He opened and closed his mouth for a while, but he couldn't utter a word.
Kucera spoke up next, this time with a smile on his face. "Is this... the moment for the hero to appear?"
Murtada blushed, refusing to believe that Ming Chong would one day be called a hero?
However, as a scholar, he has been unable to come up with strong rebuttal arguments.
When Ming Chong was taken away from the Ordination Hall with a loud speaker, he never thought that one day he would find Ming Chong so handsome?
Oh my god, that’s Ming Chong.
According to Murtada's previous opinion, the guy who was throwing a tantrum in the desert and said he only ate eel meat and didn't eat any strange meat was completely an ignorant child.
But as a scholar, if one day, someone takes your research object, which can be called whimsical, and advances the research progress from finding and exploring to utilizing it in one breath.
I believe that no scholar can resist such temptation.
At this moment, Murtada's mind suddenly echoed with a line of ridicule he had heard from Ming Chong:
"My beloved is a hero. One day he will come to save me on a rainbow cloud."
"Shit!" Murtada muttered softly, involuntarily saying Ming Chong's habit of speaking, "This Ming Chong guy... is so handsome!"
He looked deeply at the ruins that seemed to be responding. At this moment, he believed that even if this ruins was not the Garden of Silence, he would still think twice about his attitude towards Ming Chong.
...At least when that guy wanted to eat fish, he didn't grumble.
Of course, the best place is the Garden of Silence.
Otherwise, even if he was always awkward and cursing, he would still feel pity for Ming Chong, who had no idea what he was hiding but his thoughts were unfulfilled.
Everyone present was an ordinary person, and the ordinary people here refer to those who had neither immortal fate nor divine eyes.
At the same time, there is still a boring adult in Xumi who does not dream and has never seen Lannaro.
——Samel can barely be considered half, because it can control evil spirits and can use elemental power in a rough way.
It is conceivable how great the impact of this would be for ordinary people who have not yet been disenchanted by various forces.
Sameer was a little better. He was mentally prepared for Ming Chong's power, but he had never seen him use it before.
Watching quietly, Kusela suddenly thought of a question, "So what he told me before...that he was friends with the Red King, were all true?"
Murtada, who was used to joking with Ming Chong, spoke subconsciously, "How could it be all true? I know that kid. If he speaks in that tone, half of what he says must be lies--"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent.
"wrong."
He held his chin with one hand, thinking and muttering to himself, "He can't tell any clever lies..."
So the conclusion is simple, that statement is half true and half false.
So the question is -
What is Ming Chong's revenge plan?
