Reading poems from Teyvat

Reading poems from Teyvat Author: Xingyin Yueming

Summary:

I traveled to Teyvat, but without the Eye of God, what should I do if I can’t become the leader?

"The Martial Arts Forbidden Books Catalog System is at your service"

What kind of banned book is this?

Is it serious?

Are there any banned books like "The Great Music of the Interaction of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth"?

"Host, please defeat the corresponding character or get the recognition of the corresponding character before you can obtain the corresponding martial arts."

However, at the top of this task list, the corresponding characters are all holders of the Eye of God, but this system doesn't even have a novice gift pack. Do I have to fight for my life with a small iron sword? System, you want me to die! Even if I fight to death, I may not be able to break the defense!

Therefore, fighting was out of the question, and only by reciting poetry could one barely maintain a semblance of life.

But in this world full of disasters, some things cannot be avoided just by thinking about them, so in the end Shen Zhigui chose to draw his sword and step into this stormy world:

"I have never done good deeds in my life, and I love killing people and setting fires. Suddenly, the golden rope was released, and the jade lock was broken. Alas! The tide signal came from Liyue Harbor, and today I know who I am!"

Chapter 1: Stunning Beauty

The fragrance of beans and wheat on both sides of the river and the water plants on the riverbed blew in the air, and the moonlight was hazy in the air. The light black undulating mountains seemed like the backs of iron beasts...

No, this is a passage from the "Community Opera" by the great writer Master Lu.

Although it is quite appropriate.

But there were no beans or wheat in this hellhole where Shen Zhigui was, otherwise he would not have walked by the river for half a day without finding anything to fill his stomach. Now he was starving and dizzy. Although he did have some thoughts in his mind when he looked at the little fish in the river, he considered that he should have traveled through time and turned into a body of sixteen or seventeen years old, but still in a sub-healthy state, and the current lighting condition was only moonlight, so he decided not to humiliate himself and gave up the idea.

And it would be fine if we can't catch him, but when the time comes, I'll be... No, I'll be wet and have a cold. Aren't I just looking for death in this kind of ghost place where there's no village in front and no shop behind?

Although it seems to be the same now.

Shen Zhigui sighed, sat down on the spot, and without caring whether it was clean or not - although it did look quite clean, he drank a bellyful of cold water.

Now that things have come to this, what else can be done?

Eat grass?

Although it's not impossible to faint from hunger, it doesn't seem to be at that point yet. If I get diarrhea then, it would not be worth it.

So Shen Zhigui stood up again and continued to walk downstream along the river, trying to find some human habitation. In the end, he didn't know how long he had walked before he saw a fire burning in the distance, driving away the foggy darkness. He was immediately excited and shouted over there. Just as he was about to run over, he saw two furry figures standing up next to the fire!

When Shen Zhigui saw that scene, he was unable to react for a moment. But when the two strange creatures rushed over waving torches and making a few strange noises, he suddenly woke up from his dream:

"Damn it! Hillilchur people!"

Is this the world of "Genshin Impact"?

As he stared at the ferocious and approaching Hill Cultivators, Shen Zhigui had no choice but to turn around and run in the opposite direction. However, he was already starving and had been in sub-health for many years. Although the adrenaline had allowed him to perform exceptionally well, he could not distance himself from the two Hill Cultivators. In fact, the distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter. In this situation, Shen Zhigui could only...

"Help!"

The sound spread far and wide.

It even scared away the birds in the distant woods.

However, there was no response.

So Shen Zhigui could only continue shouting.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the two Hillilians, Lin Shenzhigui became more and more anxious, so his shouts gradually became anxious and hoarse.

"The Martial Arts Forbidden Books Catalog System is at your service"

yeah?

Shen Zhigui looked at the translucent words that appeared in his field of vision and was stunned for a moment.

Then he cheered up:

Depend on!

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that there was a cheat?

Hurry up and get a copy of "Northern Divine Art" or "Tai Xuan Jing" or something like that!

"I'm very sorry, the martial arts forbidden book of this system will only be issued when the host defeats or obtains the approval of the corresponding character."

Shen Zhigui took some time out of his busy schedule to look at the corresponding character list. Seeing that all of them were holders of the Eye of God, he immediately burst out in anger:

Why don’t you give me a practice book first to see how I can beat them?

"Host, please complete the relevant tasks first."

The problem is how can I complete the mission without the martial arts reward?

"Subsequent rewards will be issued after the host completes the corresponding tasks."

your sister!

If he wasn't so exhausted right now, Shen Zhigui would have just given this stupid system the middle finger.

But the fire behind him and the strange cries of the hillbillies were getting closer and closer, and his shouts of "Help" were of no use, and no one responded. So at this moment, if he continued to run, he would probably be caught up, and then be slaughtered after his strength was exhausted, so he might as well fight to the death now!

So he used the moonlight to search for a branch nearby, but seeing the two hillbillies' vicious appearance, Shen Zhigui really had no confidence. After all, he was a lazy, ignorant otaku who could only rant on the Internet. He had barely passed the physical fitness test in college before, and had never learned any fighting skills. So facing these two hillbillies, Shen Zhigui couldn't help but feel hesitant, and then...

Then he was hit by two sticks from the Hillilchur people and started screaming.

"Depend on!"

Driven by the instinct for survival, Shen Zhigui could only turn around and run away even if he wanted to fight to the death. Although rationally he knew that wasting his energy to run away would only result in him falling into the hands of the two hillbillies in an even more powerless position, and would probably not have a good ending in the end, but he himself was not a ruthless person who could endure the pain of being burned by torches and hit by sticks, both magical and physical damage, and could still fight back, so naturally he could only flee in embarrassment.

But he hadn't run far before he could no longer see the road clearly and his feet were suddenly tripped by something. He fell flat on his face, looking extremely embarrassed. When he managed to turn over, he could only see that the two Hillichul people had each raised a torch and were about to drop it on him.

"I've already traveled through time and space and even got the cheats, but now I have to be humiliated like this by a mere hillbilly?"

Shen Zhigui immediately covered his face and tried to curl up his body to reduce the area of ​​force being beaten, but a delicate shout came to his ears:

"The light of the sword is like mine, cutting off everything!"

yeah?

When Shen Zhigui heard the familiar and even annoying voice from the games he played before, he was immediately moved to tears:

Master Carver, is that you?

At this time, he didn't have time to figure out how he understood the visitor's words.

Perhaps it’s a fringe benefit of the system?

He just took his hand away, and the sky full of fine purple lightning came into view. The girl's light and graceful figure moved back and forth in the air. In just a moment, she swept away the two hillbillies. After an instant, the night returned to silence again. The girl's light and fluttering light silk dress made her look more like a fairy in the clouds under the moonlight.

"Are you OK?"

She spoke to Shen Zhigui condescendingly.

Shen Zhigui was about to respond to the girl normally, but suddenly he had an idea. He did not stand up, but continued to lie on his back, slightly stretched his body, and muttered to himself:

"It would be nice if it was a snowy night today."

"what?"

“If it is a snowy day, with a full moon in the sky, with white shadows spreading out below and bright silver flowing above, and you walk towards me with a smile, between the moonlight and the snow, you are the third most beautiful thing.”[1]

After hearing what he said, Keqing was stunned.

She looked at the watery moonlight and the frail boy lying below. Her heart suddenly moved, but she still shook her head and said, "Are you really okay?"

"The Thirteenth Move of the Mountain and River Sword Art Comes Like Thunder and Ends with Fury has been issued."

And at this moment, the system finally refreshed the prompt.

Note [1]: Yu Guangzhong, “Peerless Beauty”.

Chapter 2: Wangshu Inn

To be fair, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Yuheng Star Keqing has heard flattery from others before. Human beings are born to like to hear good words, unless the person is a masochist or has gotten rid of vulgar tastes and become a noble and pure person. Keqing is not so pure at the moment, but in her current position, and she is very smart, she will get bored if the same compliment is repeated three times. As Hegel said, "The first person to compare beauty to flowers is a genius, the second person to repeat this metaphor is a mediocre person, and the third person to repeat it is a fool." So what Shen Zhigui is doing now is a genius move -

Although he just copied it.

And according to Shen Zhigui's evaluation, these lines of poetry are just like the line "bears in spring" in "Norwegian Wood". They have been overused and have become a bit of cheesy love talk.

Of course, Shen Zhigui said this sincerely without any unnecessary ulterior motives.

After all, anyone who had been arguing with others online the night before about who was better between Li Bai and Du Fu, or who had better martial arts talent between Zhang Wuji and Qiao Feng, and then woke up the next day to find himself thrown into a wilderness full of dangers and almost died at the hands of the hillbillies, and then was rescued by his former favorite paper-man wife would do the same. If anyone did not sincerely praise her under such circumstances, Shen Zhigui could only say that he had a cold heart and was born to do great things!

Needless to say, when this Yuheng Star came into being, her appearance was truly too beautiful.

As for Keqing, she just rescued a traveler during her normal patrol in Liyue. Normally, she would just take the person to the nearby Wangshu Inn, but this time, for some reason, she stayed until the next morning and treated Shen Zhigui to breakfast.

Shen Zhigui is penniless now, so of course he won't refuse.

But even after finishing breakfast, there wasn't much to talk about between the two.

So in the end, Keqing simply asked Shen Zhigui about his plans. When she learned that he was only looking for a short-term job like doing odd jobs or moving bricks, she looked at his thin figure with a strange look in her eyes, but she didn't say much. She just stood up, but finally hesitated for a moment and said, "Your poem..."

"what?"

"Don't mention me when you publish it."

Shen Zhigui immediately raised his head to look at the girl who was pretending to be calm. When Lord Yuheng saw the boy who looked barely handsome and about her age, he just looked straight at her. Thinking of the scene where he had quietly chanted that poem to praise her under the moonlight last night, she suddenly felt the blood rushing to her cheeks and became hot. She blinked hurriedly and was about to turn around and leave when she heard his clear voice: "Then can I say that the poem is dedicated to Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star?"

Shen Zhigui fully understands Keqing's behavior of doing favors without expecting anything in return.

So at this time he thought, anyway, this Lord Yuheng Star has recognized him and he has received a reward from the system. Although he doesn't know if the system has restrictions that prohibit taking advantage of the same person multiple times, he and the girl in front of him will not have more interactions in the short term. Since she doesn't want to be involved with this poem, then changing the inscription to one dedicated to Ningguang, maybe he can kill two birds with one stone!

Come to think of it, Ningguang's appearance with white hair and red eyes does fit the description of the poem very well.

And she seems to like the image of "snow" very much.

When I think about it this way, I am simply a genius.

Shen Zhigui couldn't help feeling proud of himself.

But the girl's delicate face twisted for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth, uttered coldly "Whatever you want", and released the thunder wedge, which disappeared without a trace, leaving Shen Zhigui alone to face the mess on the table:

"Speaking of which, Master Carver should have paid, right?"

If he didn't pay, wouldn't he just be able to wash dishes for Wangshu Inn?

Although in fact, the only place that could provide job opportunities in the vicinity seemed to be Wangshu Inn. If he didn't look for a job here, would he have to cross the wilderness alone and go to Liyue Harbor or Mondstadt? Although he did get a few moves from the system, and the description of the "Shanhe Sheji Sword Art" seemed quite profound, what if it was just a fancy trick with a false reputation, or if he didn't meet the necessary conditions such as internal energy and couldn't use it, wouldn't it be miserable if he was surrounded by the hillbillies again?

So he made up his mind that he would never leave here until he had mastered his magical powers and was at least able to defeat the Hillichels!

So he quickly thought of a follow-up action plan. But just when he was about to go to the shopkeeper to confess and ask him if he was hiring, the middle-aged man suddenly came over. Of course, he did not sit in the seat where Keqing had just left and the residual warmth was still there. Instead, he chose another side and sat down and said to the young man, "Young brother, are you friends with Lord Yuhengxing?"

"I would like to say that, but she just stopped by last night and saved me."

Huai'an actually guessed that this was the case.

But the only thing that puzzled the shopkeeper of Wangshu Inn was that in the past, when Lord Yuhengxing encountered such a situation, he would just bring people to Wangshu Inn. He had never stayed for an extra night like he did now and invited people to have breakfast together the next day. Moreover, looking at the way she left, it was more like being embarrassed than angry. In this case, Huai'an really didn't dare to speculate what the relationship between the two was.

After all, Lord Yuhengxing is also at that age.

Although the young man in front of him is a little thin, he is indeed handsome. Although Huai'an does not think that Yuhengxing, who does everything by himself, is a superficial person who judges people by their appearance, what if?

So he was going to ask around and find out how the two met. Shen Zhigui thought that there was nothing that could not be told to others, so he just made up a story that he was a wandering poet from Zhendan, and then told him about his experience that night. Huai'an knew why Keqing stayed one more night after hearing the half poem from him, but what Shen Zhigui said next surprised him even more: "But Lord Yuheng doesn't seem to want me to mention her when I publish it, so I plan to dedicate this poem to Lord Tianquan. What do you think?"

Huaian was silent for a long time.

Only then did he understand why Lord Yuhengxing looked like that when he left.

So in the end he just looked at Shen Zhigui carefully, and finally asked helplessly: "You have never had a girlfriend, right?"

Then he added his words decisively: "Absolutely not!"

Chapter 3: Poems

"This has nothing to do with whether you've ever had a girlfriend, right?"

Shen Zhigui just said that.

Although he has been single since birth.

"Then why did you go to the trouble of saying that this poem was dedicated to Lady Ningguang? If Lady Keqing doesn't allow you to mention her, then don't do it."
