Reading poems from Teyvat

When Jean saw that only Barbara was left, she immediately straightened her expression and wanted to say something else, but she heard Barbara say, "Well, I still have church activities, and I can't use this money privately, so..."

Barbara bowed slightly to Qin stiffly, then ran towards the West Wind Church.

So, the two young men who were arm in arm in arm, and who should have already walked far away, sighed at the same time.

Then they looked at each other again, and it was obvious that neither of them was interested in having a businesslike meal with Qin. Although Qin herself was not a boring person, these two people did not want to listen to her official language.

What's more, Shen Zhigui's identity is a bit sensitive.

So the two of them ran away immediately, and Qin couldn't catch up with them.

Seeing this, Qin couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong.

After lunch, Shen Zhigui and Wendy ran to the roof of West Wind Church and began teaching the technique.

Shen Zhigui studied it for a while and soon found the trick.

But after he learned it, he looked at Wendy suspiciously. Wendy thought he still had some doubts, but she heard Shen Zhigui just say: "You have met Shen He, so you should have seen the problem with her, right?"

"uh-huh?"

He told Wendy the principle of the trick "Flowers fall and water flows", saying:

"What I mean is, I want to eliminate her evil spirit in this way, or in other words, change her fate. What do you think?"

Wendy thought about it and said, "It's difficult."

"why?"

"Because she is now like a blank sheet of paper. What remains in her spiritual level are only some colors from the past. The immortals of Liyue used magic to suppress her evil spirit, and at the same time, they also suppressed and imprisoned her emotions. If you want to use this technique to eliminate her evil spirit, you must first increase her emotions, but her emotions are originally blank, which means she has no inclination. Admittedly, she may have been a little shaken because of you, but compared to the evil spirit she wants to eliminate, the speed of her emotional growth is really too slow, unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless you can 'color' her."

"dyeing?"

"It means letting her soul feel your emotions first, so that her originally blank soul will have some inclinations. However, in this way, your fate and hers will be completely tied together, and you will be inseparable."

Wendy patted the boy's shoulder, stood up, and said, "However, your martial arts is very interesting. It seems that it can also be used to treat Tevarin, right?"

"what?"

"Didn't you mention before that the move you used to treat Tevarin, 'Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it meets fire', was 'ignited' by combining the spirit form and the true qi? So you can actually use the sound of the flute to transport the true qi into Tevarin's body, and then use the flute sound and the true qi together to arouse Tevarin's emotions, and then control Tevarin's body by controlling his emotions, and then combine it with your true qi, can't you use that move to eliminate Durin's poisonous blood in his body?"

Shen Zhigui was shocked by this line of thought, and then he couldn't help but look at Wendy with a very strange look:

"What, am I right?"

It is indeed possible to some extent.

Although it is not as simple as imagined to precisely control the emotions of a being of the level of a demon god's followers and then control its form by controlling its emotions, it would be better for Shen Zhigui to directly use the "Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it comes into contact with fire."

But this description sounds too much like that kind of magical martial arts.

Although this banned martial arts book doesn't sound like something that a decent person would learn.

Therefore, the real use of "flowers fall and water flows" is not to use it against the enemy, or in other words, it is not to destroy the enemy, but to parasitize one's own true Qi in the body of another, and then constantly interfere with and invade that person's emotions and spirit through the true Qi in secret. As a result, the spiritual "flower" will fall and wither, but the body and true Qi will remain like running water, so in the end, that person will completely become a servant dominated by one's own will!

How can there be such an evil martial art in the world?

And it fell into his own hands?

"Xiaogui?"

Wendy waved in front of Shen Zhigui.

"what happened?"

"Are you smiling a little weird?"

"Have it?"

"Forget it, maybe I saw it wrong," Wendy shook her head and said, "However, why don't you try it first? Otherwise, if Tevarin is awakened, it will take me a lot of effort to calm him down."

How to try?

Who to try it on?

Shen Zhigui looked at the bard in green clothes and green hat in front of him.

"Of course I came," Wendy said matter-of-factly. "Come on, I won't resist. See if you can use the sound of your flute to make me use your move 'Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it meets fire'!"

Chapter 1: Wandering in the Dark Shadows (Part 4) /

But the experiment between the two was not so much about Shen Zhigui controlling Wendy so that Wendy could use the move "Cinnabar disappears without a trace when exposed to fire", but rather about Wendy cooperating with Shen Zhigui so that the spirit and body of the wind god could adapt to the true energy that Shen Zhigui transferred into his body and then use that move.

But in fact, the key to this move is not control, or to go with the flow, because "Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it meets fire" itself emphasizes forcibly combining the three together violently like fire, and Shen Zhigui has no way to use the flute sound and true energy to arouse Wendy's emotions. Maybe Tevarin, who has been tortured for many years, can use it.

So they spent the entire afternoon doing nothing.

While they were doing useless work, the Fatui were actively making progress:

A woman from Winter Solstice "accidentally" met Keqing again.

And from the girl's mouth, she confirmed that Keqing's destination was the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Although the reason given by the girl was really ambiguous, the winter woman had at least confirmed Keqing's purpose, so she quickly reported this information to the lady, who quickly arranged for the Fatui to investigate the ruins of the Wind Dragon and prepare for the ambush. She even immediately speculated that the Knights of Favonius were seriously short of manpower and that acting leader Jyn had to be in charge of the Knights headquarters. Considering the diplomatic status of Yuheng Star, the person sent to escort would be either the cavalry captain Kaeya or the guerrilla squad captain Eula. Because Kaeya's popularity within the Knights was much better than Eula, who came from an old noble family, it was almost inevitable to send Eula to escort at this time.

She targeted Eula and Keqing and made plans to lure them away separately. She also thought that Eula was generally not trusted within the Knights Templar, so it might not be impossible to pin the responsibility for the deaths of Keqing and the immortal disciple on her. So she hugged her towering breasts with both hands and proudly drew a charming smile on her charming face.

There is no chance that this plan will fail.

By then, Mondstadt will be caught in internal and external troubles.

If Barbatos cannot bear to see his kingdom fall into the control of Winter, he will definitely show up.

So when the time comes, I will be able to take away His Heart of God.

If He is unwilling to show up and let Mond change his faith, the Queen's strength can be greatly increased.

By then, I will be one step closer to that pure and flawless ideal country.

At this moment, her heart was full of expectations for a better future. Even though this expectation was built on the blood and lives of certain people, she decided to sacrifice them without hesitation, because if these people continued to exist, the world would always be the same, always full of pain and helplessness, falsehood and lies. Instead of letting them continue to maintain this boring world, it is better to let them sacrifice and dedicate themselves to their ideals!

As for the bard who was caught between Yuhengxing and the immortal's disciple, the lady subconsciously chose to ignore him.

After all, although this man's style of doing things is high-profile, his recent actions in Mondstadt have revealed the casualness and laxity of a bard. Running out to play the flute in the middle of the night, cooperating with a drunkard, and partnering with a little nun from the Church of West Wind have further proved that his character is not capable of accomplishing great things. At the same time, his actions have not revealed any of his martial arts skills.

Even if Shen Zhigui revealed himself, the lady would not think that he posed any threat to her plans.

Because he doesn't have the Eye of God after all.

Even Barbatos, who had the heart of God, dared to bring only two debt collectors to subdue the yellow-haired traveler and then confront him openly outside the West Wind Church. Of course, she would not take a mere Shen Zhigui seriously.

So she just pushed forward her plan on her own, waiting for the prey to walk into her trap.

At that time, the whole of Teyvat will be shaken!

……

Putting aside the question of what kind of resistance the lady's unprecedented plan that would shake up Teyvat would encounter, that night, after Keqing returned to the hotel, the young man who had lost contact since the morning was still nowhere to be seen. Although she had seen him and the little nun of the Church of Favonius standing under the statue of the god of wind from afar in the morning, she did not go up to them at that time. But in the afternoon, he did not continue that activity, and the whole person's information was like bubbles drowned in the crowd of Mondstadt, and until now, there has been no news at all.

Although it is actually very simple to get news about him.

All we need to do is let Shen He contact him through the mechanical device he left behind.

But she didn't want to do that.

So today, I still waited with Shen He in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

Although she couldn't explain why she was waiting for him.

Fortunately, Shen Zhigui still remembered to go back to the hotel to sleep.

Although it didn't really matter if he didn't go back, after all, he could go directly to his "cave to rest", which might be quieter and more comfortable, and he wouldn't be able to hear Shen He's calls. But Shen Zhigui was not so withdrawn or willful after all. When night fell, he returned to the hotel. When he saw Keqing and Shen He, especially Shen He, Shen Zhigui's face didn't look good, but he still said hello:

"You guys are still not asleep..."

"I'm afraid that if we go to sleep, we'll see someone's body hanging on the city gate the next day."

Keqing said coldly.

"That's not the case."

Shen Zhigui just said.

After all, the Wind God looks unreliable, and although he is probably not very reliable in reality, the two of them can still cooperate with each other.

"What did you do today?"

"Oh, that bard Wendy taught me to play a musical instrument before. In return, I want to help him, so I've been busy with him all day today."

Although Keqing didn't actually think that Shen Zhigui's orientation was really different from that of ordinary people, it had only been two days since he arrived in Mondstadt, and his relationship with the bard had advanced so rapidly to such an extent that he had even completely ignored his employer and his senior sister. Who exactly was that bard that deserved his attention?

Keqing looked at him suspiciously.

"how?"

"Nothing, I'm going back to sleep."

Keqing shook her head and just said.

Then she stood up and walked upstairs, but halfway through, she seemed to have thought of something, and just turned her head slightly and whispered: "By the way, what do you think about transplanting the Cecilia flower to Liyue?"

"It can't survive, right?"

Shen Zhigui hesitated for a moment and said.

He really couldn't understand why Keqing suddenly said this.

"But don't you think Cecilia flowers are beautiful?"

"But no matter how beautiful she is, she can't survive, right? However..."

If we can find Albedo to help transform the plants, maybe they will survive.

"But what?"

Keqing's voice trembled slightly.

Even if Shen Zhigui was stupid, he realized what Keqing meant and said, "Cecilia Hua is indeed a perfect match for you, Lord Yuhengxing."

"Hmph! Glib!"

Keqing even used the trick of Star Return to her position to hurry back to her room.

Chapter 78: Wandering in the Dark Shadows (Part 2)

"Is it necessary to beat around the bush like this?"

Although Shen Zhigui was aware that Keqing's personality was indeed a bit weird.

But if Shen Zhigui were asked to rank the people he met in Teyvat according to their favorability, Keqing would definitely be at the top of the list, so when the Wind Flower Festival comes, Shen Zhigui will give her flowers no matter what. Admittedly, this kind of favorability doesn't actually mean much, because Keqing has her own path, and Shen Zhigui's own journey is far from over, so it's difficult for him to consider the relationship between men and women at this time.

He just wanted to express his feelings.

As for Keqing's attitude towards him, he actually didn't care too much. It was better to say that the fact that the two of them hadn't broken up until now could only be attributed to Keqing who was indeed a tolerant young lady. If Shen Zhigui was in her position and dared to point fingers at her when she rescued someone, they would probably have stopped communicating with each other long ago.

But the two did not break up after all, so Shen Zhigui was willing to do this to repair their relationship.

That night Shen He was not like the previous night, so he also had a good sleep. He woke up naturally the next day and was wondering why Keqing didn't ask him to do research together today. But when he opened the window of the hotel and looked down, he saw that the whole city seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of happiness. Everyone he saw had a smile on their face. They talked to each other, wished each other well, and gave each other bouquets of flowers. The air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance, as if it could wash away the chill of spring, making people feel as if they were in the warm sunshine.

“Is it the festival day already?”

Shen Zhigui just thought.

He really liked the atmosphere.

However, for him, he only needs to see such pictures, hear such sounds, and feel such atmosphere. But if you let him be in it and become a part of it, he will find it very troublesome and choose to stay away from it.

So he decided to go back to bed and sleep.

However, unexpectedly, there was a knock on his door.

But the person who knocked on his door was not Keqing, but Shen He.

Shen Zhigui looked at the tall woman standing in front of his door unexpectedly, but heard her say, "Junior brother, do you have any plans next?"

"That's not true."

"So, Junior Brother, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
