Reading poems from Teyvat

Shen Zhigui said this in a rather bully-like manner.

"So what?"

The lady replied coldly.

"So, you won't complain about whether you win or lose, right?"

Shen Zhigui simply raised the spear in his hand and said.

Seeing the Liquan gun in the boy's hand, Xiao also looked up in surprise, but did not say much, and just tightened his weapon. The two were about to attack at the same time to completely solve this trouble, but they heard Eula say: "Sorry, I can't let this person die in your hands."

Chapter 83: A thousand trees bloom before the dead tree (End)

What Youla said was actually not unexpected to Shen Zhigui.

This is the tragedy of a weak country.

The great writer Master Lu mentioned in "Mr. Fujino" that the opportunity that prompted him to switch from studying medicine to studying literature was because the island country and the bear were fighting in China. The Qing government shamelessly declared "neutrality" and allowed the two sides to use China as a battlefield. People at that time just acted as numb spectators. This numbness hurt the spirit of the great writer and prompted him to change his concept. He believed that studying medicine could only save their bodies, but could not save their already numb souls.

Although Eula is not numb.

She just wanted to prevent things from taking a turn for the worst.

The worst possible scenario is that Mond will become like the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, she also realized that Mondstadt could only choose to maintain the status quo rather than change it, because once the status quo was changed, given Mondstadt's current weakness, the situation would inevitably get worse. Admittedly, if the people of Liyue really killed the lady, they would not evade responsibility but admit it. However, the incident happened in Mondstadt and under the eyes of her, the guerrilla leader. Therefore, while Zhidong was arguing with Liyue, he would definitely use this incident as an excuse to attack Mondstadt.

That's why she wanted to stop them.

Although she also knew that her attempts to stop it were useless.

Because no matter how you look at it, these people in Liyue are in an absolutely dominant position.

Not to mention the bard's position...

"Well, Wendy, what do you think?"

Shen Zhigui asked the bard questions as if it was a matter of course and as if he had absolute control.

The bard just smiled foolishly:

It was clear that he didn't know how to respond either.

At this moment, the young man actually walked in front of the lady with the spear in hand. The lady waved her hand, and the blazing flames streaked towards the thin young man like a meteor, but he dodged it with his steps as if he was strolling in the garden. Every step he took was approaching the lady, and the lady became more irritable, and she wielded her strength more and more wildly. However, perhaps because she had consumed a lot of her energy in the previous duel with Xiao, she had no way to concentrate at this time, so when facing Shen Zhigui, she could only let him approach step by step, and was finally shot in the chest by the young man. He stood there, just examining her, but said:

"Come to think of it, is Mondstadt really a free country?

"Why do you ask?"

Wendy said.

"Thousands of years ago, the old nobles of Mondstadt used brutal rule to practice the freedom that belonged only to their group of people. What did they rely on? Later, the Lionfang Knight Vanessa overthrew their rule and returned freedom to the people. In order to ensure that the same mistakes would not be repeated, the Church of Favonius and the Knights of Favonius were established. What did they rely on? Even later, in the disaster caused by the fall of Kanria, Mondstadt suffered heavy casualties. What was missing? Until now, this guerrilla leader can only balance the disputes between Zhidong and Liyue. Why is that?"

"strength."

Wendy thought about it and said.

Some of the words that Shen Zhigui said obviously touched the lady's nerves, making her suddenly even more furious, but no matter how she burned her life, she could not burn the young man.

"Yes, strength is the foundation for practicing a certain belief. Admittedly, some people may gather together because of the same belief, thus gathering more strength, but the facts have proved that in Teyvat, there is a certain absolute gap between humans and gods. At least for now, even if there is a way for humans to cross this gap, it is not under the control of the Mond people. So in fact, the foundation of Mond's freedom comes from the granting of the wind god Barbatos, and from his guarantee. However, as the founder of this country, he has not appeared directly in the eyes of the world for thousands of years, so this has produced a very strange phenomenon:

"His power should have guaranteed the freedom of the Mond people, but he never interfered with the country in order to ensure its freedom. Protection is also a form of interference, so he chose to let it go. Without his protection, the Mond people could only gain freedom through their own efforts. But freedom is undisciplined and unrestrained. Under this banner, they could not gather enough power to guarantee their own freedom. So the current situation is that the country that has always advocated freedom has now become the least free country. All this is just because of the lack of something."

Wendy thought about it and could only agree with Shen Zhigui, but he still said:

"But as long as Captain Farga leads the expeditioners back, everything will be fine."

Shen Zhigui just glanced at him and thought, is this guy still unwilling to stand up?

However, someone from Liyue next door is already ready to quit. It is impossible for this drunkard who has quit for thousands of years to turn over a new leaf overnight.

"So do you support me in stabbing you with the gun, or not?"

Shen Zhigui asked.

"Just follow your heart. I believe you will make the right decision."

Wendy just said it casually.

Seeing this, Youla wanted to say something else, but she heard Shen Zhigui sigh:

"Alright."

Then he fired a sweeping shot, knocking the lady unconscious.

Eula relaxed a little, but then she heard the boy say, "Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise. Simply compromising and tolerating is like adding fuel to the fire, and I'm afraid there will be no good results."

Eula thought, "Don't I understand this? But don't you see what's happening in Mondstadt now? If you want to fight, you have to have a basis for it!"

But soon, she heard Shen Zhigui say: "Actually, I have a way to increase your Mond's strength."

"any solution?"

Eula became curious.

"Have you ever heard why Tevarin, the guardian of the east wind, is still sleeping in the ruins of the wind dragon?"

"Because it was injured in the battle with the dragon Durin?"

After all, Eula is the descendant of a great noble family, she is just saying that.

"To be precise, it accidentally swallowed Du Lin's poisonous blood, causing it to still be detoxifying," Shen Zhigui simply said, "but I have a way to solve this problem."

Eula immediately asked, "What's the proof?"

"This is Liyue's guardian general Yaksha, and he is also an immortal. I was the one who cured his karma."

"But that doesn't prove you can cure Tevarin, does it?"

Eula just said.

Chapter 84: I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go (Part 1)

"Yes," Shen Zhigui just nodded when he heard Eula say that, and said, "But Mondstadt's current situation is so weak. The wind god Barbatos has not shown up yet, and Winter is watching covetously. The Knights of Favonius are seriously short of manpower. It can even be said that once the Fatui find an excuse to attack you, with your current strength, can you really resist their invasion? Of course, it doesn't mean that I must solve this problem. Although I promised someone that I could solve Tevarin's problem as a reward, that person is obviously not qualified to represent Mondstadt today, so please report this matter to the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius and ask her to make a decision."

Eula immediately took a deep look at the young man.

"I will do that."

"Look forward to the good news."

Shen Zhigui just said.

"Then, this one..."

Eula pointed at the lady, but the boy shook his head and said, "I still have something to ask her. Besides, even if you want to take her away, she won't let you control her when she wakes up. If she kills you and puts the blame on Lord Yuhengxing, it will also be a reason to cause a diplomatic dispute, right?"

Eula is quite confident in her own abilities.

But when she thought of the previous scene, she stopped talking and looked worriedly at this time bomb-like person who could not be dealt with and could only be left disgusting in her sight. Finally, she just said, "I will return to the Knights' headquarters as soon as possible. Are you guys ready..."

"We'll stay here for a few days."

Shen Zhigui just said.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Eula didn't even show any intention of staying overnight and leaving the next day.

Because she did realize that if the boy could really wake up Tevarin, then the Guardian of the East Wind would be in his hands, and the Guardian of the East Wind would be in his hands.

But everything depends on whether what the boy says is true.

And such a decision can only be made by Qin.

So she chose to leave immediately and rush to the headquarters of the Knights.

The few people who stayed behind were silent for a moment, and finally Keqing was the first to break the silence: "What are you going to do with her?"

Keqing understands Eula's hesitation very well.

But this does not mean that she is really prepared to let go of the Fatui executive in front of her.

Shen Zhigui hesitated for a moment, then asked Keqing: "Do you still remember the question I mentioned to you before?"

"Which one?"

"If someone commits a crime because of mental problems, should that person be tried or should he not be tried?"

Keqing thought for a long time and immediately shook her head:

"I don't know what you meant by asking this question then, and what do you mean by asking it now?"

The reason I asked that question was because Tevarin's mental state would become problematic if I didn't take care of it myself.

Now ask...

It means that you are going to cause mental problems for the lady.

Shen Zhigui thought about it and still did not directly say the most evil usage of "Flowers fall and water flows", but just said that he planned to make the Fatui executive unconscious for a period of time. If he found a way, he could probably make her unconscious for three to five years or even ten to eight years. Although Keqing doubted whether he could do it, if she did not want Mond to fall out with Zhidong, letting this person remain unconscious was indeed a solution.

But she still felt aggrieved.

After all, Keqing was born into a prominent family and became a Yuheng Star at a young age. She would never show leniency to such people, not to mention that the other party was preparing to kill her. If she let her go at this time, wouldn't it be like letting her go unpunished?

Although now they are just lynching each other.

But as the Yuheng Star, she already has this privilege.

She was about to say something when she saw the young man took out the flute and put it to his lips. The ethereal sound of the flute immediately spread like the quiet moonlight, permeating in all directions, as if it could cleanse one's soul. Keqing lost the idea of ​​speaking for a moment and just stood there quietly listening.

Wendy seemed to have thought of something, but did not say anything. He just jumped in front of Xiao and began to introduce himself as if he had never known this Yaksha before. Xiao looked at him coldly and just said his name lightly. When he was about to hide himself, he saw the bard grab him and started chatting aimlessly.

……

The lady, or Rosalyn Kruschika Lowfat, felt like she was having a long dream.

In the dream, she seemed to have returned to the past, or rather, the image of Rosaline, the innocent and kind person in the past who had been abandoned by the lady, woke up from her sleep again. Then she found herself doing all kinds of disgusting things and using many evil and filthy means under the influence of a series of nightmarish pains. She continued to achieve her goals by hurting others, without thinking that she had become covered in mud, and even if she reached the end of her ideal, she would never be qualified to touch that ideal again.

Is all this a dream or reality?

Rosalin walked in the palace of memory in disbelief, watching the flow of memories in pain, but felt like she had become a different person.

But in this life, who can always maintain their original intention?

She heard another person say to her in her heart.

But that's not a reason for you to take your anger out on other people, right?

So did Rustam deserve to die?

Another person said to her.

But the people who died because of your schemes were just as innocent as Rustam! You think he didn't deserve to die, but what right do you have to say that when you were the executioner? What's the difference between you and the disasters that killed Rustam?

After Rosaline asked this question, the man suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, she heard a voice saying:

Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong, but it doesn’t matter, because you are me and I am you. I once hoped that I could live in this world forever innocent and carefree, but in the final analysis, the world is just a huge dyeing workshop, whether you like it or not, it will eventually dye you with extra colors. I have been painted with too many colors and stained with too much will, so I am too tired and don’t want to go on. I don’t know how you woke up and re-condensed into what you are now, but since you are me, it proves that you have the opportunity to start over. Let me see whether you are right or wrong.

Chapter 85: I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui once heard his teacher tell a very famous story in a Marxist philosophy class:

King Theseus of Athens had a ship. Because this ship helped him conquer the Minotaur, the Athenians kept it as a memorial. But as time went by, the wood on the ship gradually decayed, so the Athenians replaced the decayed wood with new ones. In the end, all the old materials used to build the ship were replaced with new ones. So, is this ship still the original ship of Theseus? If it is, it no longer has any of the original wood; if not, when did it stop being the original one? If the replaced old materials are put together to form a ship, which one is the real ship of Theseus, the new one or the old one?

This famous question in the history of Western philosophy is intended to explore what is the essence of things, so many philosophical schools have tried to give answers. The answer given by Shen Zhigui's Marxist philosophy teacher is:

The way things exist is movement.

The only thing that never changes in the world is change within yourself.

At that time, Shen Zhigui only thought that this kind of question was a philosopher who had nothing better to do to torture him, a poor student whose ultimate goal in life was just to eat some French fries. Because at that time, he had always been muddle-headed and felt that his life was the kind of boring that could be seen at a glance, and there were not as many possibilities as now. So at that moment, the more he used "flowers fall and water flows" to the lady - or Rosaline - and the more he awakened a certain mental state of her in the past, the more he could appreciate the subtlety of the question about the ship of Theseus:

What is the essence of human beings?

What can change the nature of a person?

Although Shen Zhigui's original intention was to turn the lady into his yes-man, it was too difficult to do so. If Shen Zhigui really wanted to achieve this, it would take at least five years, and she would have to remain in a deep sleep. But neither Mond nor he could wait that long, so he had to settle for the next best thing and wake up the young Rosaline.

In fact, the term awakening is not accurate.
