Reading poems from Teyvat

Although it is possible that after learning her point of view, Shen Zhigui would ask her what it means to achieve something, does being able to eliminate the karma on Xiao count?

Of course, the two of them didn't understand each other's thoughts, so Shen Zhigui could only accept the rote learning of Master Liuyun Jiefeng. In Master Liuyun Jiefeng's view, she had obviously compressed the knowledge to the maximum extent, but the boy was like a sponge. No matter how she sped up the progress, the boy could absorb all the knowledge she taught and catch up with her course progress. Sometimes the boy would even come up with some particularly novel and unique ideas, which made Master Liuyun Jiefeng finally begin to doubt whether she had been working in isolation for thousands of years, so without her knowing it, the mechanical technology of the outside world had begun to surpass her level?

So one day she announced that she would give Shen Zhigui a holiday, and secretly went to Liyue Harbor to investigate the development of Liyue's mechanical technology. In the end, she was relieved to find out that it had almost stagnated. Then she felt a little angry at her for not fighting back:

How come it's still like this after thousands of years?

However, she still couldn't help but feel proud of her level of mechanical engineering, although compared with the talent and ideas displayed by that enchanting young man, she felt that it was a bit too unreasonable: Where on earth did he learn such a strange way of thinking?

When she returned to her cave, she saw Shen He holding a cube-shaped object to her ear, and at this time the boy's distorted words came out of the object: "Cave 1, please answer if you hear it. Cave 1, please answer if you hear it. Over."

"Hole 1 heard, signal is good, over."

Later she saw Shen He talking to the cube again.

She felt it was incredible for a moment. Although she had already realized that this was definitely an invention made by Shen Zhigui, she still couldn't help but move closer and ask, "What are you doing? What is this?"

"This is an invention made by Junior Brother Shen. He said it's called a telephone and that it can achieve long-distance communication. He asked me to help him test it. Junior Brother Shen is at the foot of the mountain now."

Shen He said respectfully.

"Phone? Is it something made of lightning element?"

Master Liuyunjiefeng immediately thought of something from the name.

Shen He shook his head: "I don't know, but according to my junior brother, the principle is actually closer to elemental resonance."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng immediately leaned over, but she really couldn't see anything. There were only three buttons on the square-shaped thing. In fact, because of the boy's casual style, he just tied it up with a few pieces of wood. So Master Liuyun Jiefeng ordered Shen He to disassemble the thing to show her the internal structure. Shen He hesitated for a moment, but finally did as her master ordered.

Then Master Liuyunjiefeng heard the young man's voice coming from inside the instrument: "Master, have you returned from Liyue Harbor? Why are you dismantling my things as soon as you get back? There are design drawings and a sample in my room. Just go and look at those things. Don't mess with the one in Shenhe's hand. I still need to do a few more tests."

When Master Liuyun Jiefeng heard what the young man said, she became a little angry, because although Shen He called him junior brother, he never meant to call Shen He senior sister. But in the end, she still went to find the design drawings and looked through them as the young man said.

Chapter 55: Traveling Far Away (Part 1)

However, for Shen Zhigui, the appearance of the "telephone" was purely an accident.

After all, he has almost forgotten the Maxwell equations he learned in college physics class, let alone the law of electromagnetic induction he learned in high school physics class. In this case, if you ask him to build a telephone from scratch using earth science ideas, he will most likely be completely clueless. He probably can't even make a hand-cranked generator that uses a coil to cut magnetic lines of force, let alone realize the conversion and transmission of sound signals and electromagnetic wave signals.

However, in a magical world like Teyvat, there is often no need to solve problems using normal thinking.

For example, there is such a thing as an echo conch in this world.

So rather than saying that Shen Zhigui's phone call was a victory for science, it would be more accurate to say that it was a victory for talismans and natural history, because Shen Zhigui's method of converting and transmitting sound signals was not based on the scientific principles of the earth, but was a method of talismanic method for achieving long-distance elemental resonance that Shen He mentioned by chance when they were chatting.

Although Shen Zhigui also had his doubts, since that kind of talisman had already been developed, the corresponding long-distance communication spell should have been developed long ago.

Of course, if you are a little bolder, the "Sleepwalking Method" that Xiao used to punish the swindler who called himself "The Lord of Picking Stars and Seizing Stars" is actually very suitable for real-life 3D instant messaging.

Although that spell requires too many items and is a bit too troublesome to use.

However, to be honest, Shen Zhigui absolutely did not want anyone to forcibly pull him over or invade his dreams when he was falling asleep, so he came up with this kind of thing.

And Master Liuyunjiefeng was naturally aware of the method of "dreaming".

However, the use of "dreaming" requires that the object of the dream must be asleep. If the object is a workaholic like Ganyu or Keqing, you may not know when they will go to bed. Secondly, even for an immortal like Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, there are many restrictions when he wants to use it. However, for an immortal like her who stays in the cave and never goes out, these restrictions are essentially dispensable.

But now, she could realize that the mechanical creation in Shen He's hand completely skipped these restrictions. It didn't even require one of the two communicating parties to be proficient in the relevant talismans and magic. Even if both parties were just ordinary people, as long as they held this mechanical creation in their hands, they could directly communicate over a long distance.

Just from this perspective, Master Liuyunjiefeng could not help but be amazed at the young man's unique thinking -

Although she thought in her heart that the reason why she didn't think of this idea was because she had long been accustomed to high-end methods such as "dreaming", so she had never thought about this method that could only transmit sound but not images.

But she still expressed her approval of the boy's invention:

Because what mechanical engineering pursues is a creation that can be used by everyone and can operate spontaneously without excessive external interference to meet certain needs.

“In fact, there are still many problems.”

After Shen Zhigui returned to the cave on the top of the mountain, he just said it casually in response to the praise from Master Liuyunjiefeng.

"what is the problem?"

"For example, currently only one-to-one calls are possible, because the spells burned on the two phones are in pairs, and there is currently no way to achieve many-to-many calls."

Master Liuyunjiefeng thought about it, but before she could come up with a way to improve it, she heard the young man suddenly say, "By the way, Master, I plan to leave tomorrow."

"leave?"

"To use your words, Master Zhen, I gave up halfway."

Shen Zhigui just spoke absentmindedly.

Although in fact, it was simply that Shen Zhigui was not interested in any mechanical technology other than the Chen Ge Pot.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the mechanical arts taught by Master Liuyun Jiefeng are more like chemistry and natural history than mechanical engineering. Although this knowledge may even be more useful than his martial arts at times, and in fact a lot of knowledge is quite interesting, it cannot be said that Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not teach him everything he knew. The course schedule is even so tight that it reminds him of the time when he was in college and did not start reading books and doing exercises to prepare for the exam until a week before the final exam because he was not interested in certain courses. But in the final analysis, Master Liuyun Jiefeng's method is nothing more than using certain means to bypass the limitation of the Eye of God. However, if you want to rewrite the face of the world, elemental power is still the most intuitive method.

However, Shen Zhigui was not sure whether he, an outsider and an illegal immigrant, had obtained the authority of the Eye of God.

Not to mention that even if they had that authority, for the locals of Teyvat, obtaining the Eye of God would always be an extremely low-probability event.

So instead of delving into this roundabout method, it is better to continue to focus on martial arts.

After all, his spirit has not yet recovered to its full potential.

The idea of ​​"refining qi into spirit" mentioned by Master Liuyun Jiefeng is also worth a try.

Although Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng had the same idea as him, the only thing she could not have expected was that Shen Zhigui's learning progress would be so fast, and he even invented the telephone before leaving. For a moment, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But when she thought about it carefully again, she found that the little ghost in front of her had probably only set her sights on the mechanical techniques related to the "exterior scene" from the very beginning. Although the agreement mentioned in the letter from Master Ge Chenlangshi was indeed like this, she still taught him according to the normal course instead of teaching him the knowledge related to the "exterior scene" alone. Therefore, a lot of "unnecessary" knowledge was mixed in the course. She originally thought that the little ghost's previous eager attitude of accepting everything was because he was really interested in all the mechanical techniques, but she didn't expect that he would not forget his original intention and was ready to leave after learning everything related to the "exterior scene"!

No wonder he never called Shen He "Senior Sister".

Master Liuyun Jiefeng's eyes immediately moved back and forth between Shen Zhigui and Shen He.

At this time, the two were discussing improvements to the "phone".

Of course, Shen Zhigui didn’t think this “phone” was of any use. After all, the communication distance was originally limited by the control distance of the talisman. Therefore, if he wanted to achieve communication from Aozang Mountain to Liyue Port, he would probably have to arrange more than a dozen stations in the middle with ordinary materials to ensure the complete transmission of the signal. Of course, it would probably be barely possible to use some materials that could maximize the carrying capacity of the talisman. So Shen Zhigui was just going to make two for fun. Moreover, because the material used was the jade from the immortal cave, Shen Zhigui was going to design it according to the style of the previous touch-screen mobile phone.

Maybe I can find Albedo in Mondstadt and get a mobile phone?

Shen Zhigui thought.

“Who are you going to give it to after you make it?”

When Master Liuyun Jiefeng heard that they had finished their discussion, he suddenly asked.

Chapter 56: Traveling Far Away (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui didn't think much about it, and just said: "Master, you have seen the design drawings, haven't you? If you want to use it, can't you just make it yourself and give one to others?"

Although when he thought about the scene, it was somewhat similar to those bosses in the movies of the last century holding several mobile phones and making non-stop calls.

No, it seems that Master Liuyun Jiefeng has no hands in this form?

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but glance at the tall crane.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng also glanced at the young man, and finally just asked: "What are you going to do after you leave?"

"Collecting materials related to 'exterior scenes'?"

After all, there aren't many materials here at the hands of Master Liuyunjiefeng, so Shen Zhigui can't take advantage of them.

"Then?"

“After that, I’ll be ready to go everywhere.”

Walking around?

Master Liuyunjiefeng looked at the young man, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, you can take Shenhe with you."

what's the situation?

Shen Zhigui was stunned for a moment and turned to look at her.

"Don't you have a contract to clean up the remains of the demon god? Although you are probably unable to do it in your current state, Shen He is not like you. She did similar things when she was a child, so you can take her with you for a walk. Maybe she can help you complete the contract. You can also try to help her suppress the evil spirit in her body."

Having said that...

Shen Zhigui really didn't want to be a nanny.

Of course, the so-called nanny didn't mean that Shen He needed someone to take care of her everywhere, but that her lack of common sense about human society might cause trouble at any time, so Shen Zhigui probably had to clean up her mess all the time, and really didn't want to take over this task, so he said, "You should ask Shen He herself about this matter, right?"

Anyway, she herself doesn't seem to have any intention of going down the mountain now.

So Shen Zhigui would delay as much as possible.

"If you agree, I can indeed help you clean up the remains of the demon god."

But the tall woman with long white hair said at this time.

Although her voice was cold and there was not much expression on her face.

"Look, Shen He said so."

Then Master Liuyunjiefeng said.

"But I might have to go to Mond later."

Shen Zhigui had no choice but to find another excuse.

"It doesn't matter. You are in no condition to completely clean up the remains of the demon god anyway. You don't need to think about it all day. It's not something you can accomplish alone. By the way, it would be good to let Shen He go to other countries to experience different customs and practices."

Master Liuyunjiefeng still said.

"But wouldn't it be better to let Shen He follow Gan Yu?"

"Ganyu is busy all day long, how can she have the time?"

Do I look like I'm idle?

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but say in his heart.

Although he is indeed very idle.

Now that he couldn't find any other excuse, he agreed to take Shen He down the mountain. After all, Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng had taught him something. Although she had said in advance that if Shen Zhigui gave up halfway, he should not say that he was her disciple, but Shen Zhigui couldn't just pretend nothing had happened after someone taught him everything she knew. As for Grandma Ping, he could at least say that there was a contract so the relationship between the two was that of investor and investee. However, there was no contract between him and Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng, let alone a simple and clear exchange of interests. Although she agreed to teach the knowledge of mechanical engineering for the sake of Zhenjun Gechenlangshi, this kind of favor was actually the hardest to repay.

He turned around and looked at Shen He.

The silver-haired woman still had the same expression, as cold and clear as ice and snow, and the calm look in her eyes seemed as if it would not waver at all no matter what happened.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this," Shen Zhigui said in his heart, "there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

At least she wouldn't be like Keqing, a workaholic who keeps urging him on.

Although he suddenly felt a headache when he thought about the agreement he and Keqing had made to go to Mondstadt together.

I don’t know if it’s because the aftereffects of excessive mental exhaustion haven’t healed yet.

……

When Keqing saw Shen Zhigui coming back with a strange beautiful woman following him, she felt very strange:

After all, although Shen Zhigui has always appeared to be a very talented writer, according to the general impression, he must be the kind of playboy who would use sweet words to deceive young girls. But in fact, he only wrote two poems for himself and Ningguang respectively, but he was very disapproving of their behavior as the Seven Stars of Liyue. He was like this to them, not to mention the other people in Liyue Harbor. With the boy's casual personality, he probably wouldn't pay much attention to it. So Keqing never thought that Shen Zhigui was that kind of playboy, but at this time he actually brought a beautiful woman dressed very strangely back to his home?

Keqing's eyes suddenly turned cold and fixed on the young man.

But Shen Zhigui's next words dispelled her doubts: "This is the disciple of Master Liuyunjiefeng, Miss Shenhe."

"Disciple of Master Liuyunjiefeng?"

Keqing turned to look at the silver-haired woman, but there was not much complacency on the woman's face. She just nodded lightly.

"Is he also an immortal?"

Keqing asked.

"No, it's human."

Shen Zhigui just said that.

Then he introduced Keqing to her, but Keqing never saw any other expression on the woman's face. The young man also explained why she followed him, so Keqing had to temporarily dispel her doubts, but couldn't help asking: "Do you really have a way to eliminate the evil spirit on her?"

Shen Zhigui thought about it and just said, "In fact, I am still confused about what the so-called evil spirit is, and I have never tried it, but I can try it now."

After saying that, the young man extended his hand to Shen He.

Shen He just tilted his head, his eyes a little puzzled, but he soon thought of something and placed his hand in the boy's palm.

So the young man circulated the true Qi in his body, flowing it into Shen He's body from the place where their palms touched. However, soon Shen Zhigui's true Qi could not withstand the ice element in Shen He's body that had deeply transformed her body. Even when the two were entangled with each other, a chill suddenly broke out from the place where their palms touched, and then frost condensed there, sticking their hands together tightly.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Keqing's eyes were fixed on their clasped hands as she asked word by word.
