Chapter 60: Changes in the Form of Elements

Following Hu Tao and Zhong Li,
Everyone came to the other side of Wuwang Slope.
Tombs of various shapes are arranged in an orderly manner on the quiet hills, making the area look somewhat solemn.

And in the solemn atmosphere, a team was waiting quietly.

Dark uniforms, calm expressions, and professional props.

This is the funeral procession of the Hall of Rebirth.

Seeing Hu Tao and Zhong Li coming back, the leading ceremonial officer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, Guest Zhongli, you are finally back. Is the problem solved?"

Hu Tao waved her hand nonchalantly, "With this hall master's help, it will naturally be resolved. By the way, have Mr. Hu's family members left?"

Mr. Hu is the person being buried today.

The funeral officer nodded: "After the funeral, they left."

"Tsk tsk tsk, people are really cold-hearted." Hu Tao clicked his tongue a few times.

After the old man was buried, they left immediately without even anyone crying at the grave. I guess no one would believe how filial they are if you say they are.

The ceremonial officer smiled and did not respond. As someone who worked in the Wangsheng Hall, he had seen all kinds of people, and being able to send an elderly person off was already considered a good job.

Walnut did not delve into this topic and waved to the funeral procession: "Let's go back too."

The carriages from the Wangsheng Hall gradually started to move and began their return journey.

……

The carriage of Wangsheng Hall is inferior to the luxurious carriage of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
But it is still much more comfortable than walking by myself.
The most important thing is that the vehicles in the Wangsheng Hall are really fast.

It was nearly twice as fast as the previous Feiyun Caravan.

All I can say is that the speed of a vehicle transporting goods is indeed different from that of a vehicle not transporting goods.

Of course, it may also be because Walnut has a noisy personality and likes to gallop on horseback.

The heads of other families all rode in carriages, but Hu Tao rode a horse himself, and often disappeared without a trace.

However, judging by the expressions of other people, they have probably gotten used to it.

In the carriage of the Hall of Rebirth,
Wang Hao approached Zhongli cautiously and asked him various questions.

Wang Hao asked about everything, from martial arts techniques to Liyue specialties and even how to use the Eye of God.

I don't know what Zhongli is thinking.

As long as Wang Hao dares to ask, he dares to answer.

"Although I am not the holder of the Eye of Water Element, the use of elemental power, in addition to research on elemental reactions, the most important thing is to change the element's form. These two paths are both avenues."

Zhongli softly explained his understanding of elemental power, trying his best to use words that the three little ones could understand.

"I don't need to explain elemental reactions in detail. You all understand them. As for the properties and changes in the forms of elements, perhaps I can give you some hints."

Zhongli stretched out his right hand, and strands of golden light gathered in his palm.

"I can't control the water element, but I can use the rock element to imitate it. Please see."

As he spoke, the rock element in his palm did not condense into a solid crystal representing the rock element, but instead surged like a wave.
"You see, the biggest feature of water is that it has no fixed shape. When it comes to the expression of elemental power, water becomes the element that is easiest to shape. It is softer than rock, has more form than wind, and is easier to touch than lightning... So, in my opinion, the biggest advantage of water is its shapelessness..."

The rock element in Zhongli's hand keeps changing.

Waves, billows, whirlpools are used as weapons, silk threads, animals and beasts, and elemental forces change endlessly in his hands.

It was clearly the rock element, but he used the effect of the water element.

This made Xingqiu and Chongyun extremely impressed.

Wang Hao, on the other hand, was not surprised at all because he knew Zhongli's true identity.

After all, as the Lord of Rock, it is normal for the Emperor to be able to do this? He told Wang Hao and the other two some techniques and concepts bit by bit. Finally, Zhongli concluded: "Water has no constant shape, and soldiers have no constant situation. Those who can win by adapting to the changes of the enemy are called gods!"

[Okay, okay, so this is the art of war, not the art of using elements, right! ]

[I think what Zhongli said makes sense. Isn't the characteristic of water that it has no fixed shape?]

【Elementary school knowledge tells us that water has three forms: gas, liquid, and solid. 】

[Solid state is ice, right? So water element can be transformed into ice element? ]

[Uh... it should be possible on Blue Star, but probably not in Teyvat. ]

[The fantasy world probably doesn’t follow the laws of physics.]

[So, can our knowledge be replicated in Teyvat? ]

[Good idea. Let’s talk to Wang Hao about it later. Let’s try it out with some seamless steel pipes first.]

【Sugar, egg white, fertilizer...】

[You are a little too harsh. ]

【…】

There is a lot of joy in the barrage,
But it also raises a number of meaningful questions.

For example, the three forms of water made Wang Hao's eyes light up.

"Mr. Zhongli, is there any way to control the temperature of the water?" Wang Hao asked.
From the barrage, he knew that by controlling the temperature of water, it could be turned into gas or solid.

If he could do this, it would undoubtedly greatly increase his means of dealing with the enemy.

"Control the temperature of the water?" Zhongli looked at Wang Hao sideways, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. "High temperature is the power of fire, and low temperature is the power of ice. Water alone cannot control the temperature. This actually involves evaporation and freezing reactions."

Zhongli’s answer did not disappoint Wang Hao. On the contrary, his eyes lit up slightly.

Unlike others, he can really control two elements.
In addition to the water element, his divine eye also hides the fire element.

He just doesn't use it very often in order to hide it, but he has been practicing the fire element.

According to Zhongli, high temperature belongs to the fire element, so...

Can I use the water and fire elements to produce a low-intensity reaction, transform the water condensed by the water element into water vapor, and then control the water vapor to attack?
As mentioned before, water has no fixed shape. Water vapor is not only invisible to the naked eye and very hidden, but water vapor itself is also a dangerous existence.

The evaporation reaction of water and fire itself has a powerful destructive power.

After leaving the source, the water vapor in nature will cool down rapidly and turn into water droplets again, which has no lethality.

But water vapor under the control of elemental force may not necessarily be like this.

Wang Hao suppressed the idea of ​​conducting another experiment and bowed slightly to Zhongli: "I see, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Zhongli."

"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor." Zhongli smiled and waved his hand, then answered Chongyun's question about the talisman.

Wang Hao and Xingqiu also listened with great interest.

Talismans are the embodiment of the power of runes and are very advanced knowledge that cannot be learned in ordinary places.

The three of them chatted, and time passed little by little.

Suddenly, the voice of Master Hu was heard from outside the carriage.

"We've arrived at Wangshu Inn. Everyone, please get off the car immediately. I'll treat you."

Wang Hao lifted the car curtain, and sure enough, he saw the familiar Wangshu Inn.

This building, standing in the center of Dihuazhou, is still prosperous.
