Reading poems from Teyvat

Because young Rosalyn had never actually been asleep.

Just as Shen Zhigui's Marxism teacher said, the essence of things lies in movement, and the reason why the lady has become the lady she is now is because she has experienced studying in the Sumeru Ordinary Academy, the pain of losing Rustan, becoming the Witch of Fire and making a wish to burn all monsters, the loneliness of walking on the earth, and the recruitment of the Queen of Winter. In this process, Rosaline's cognition changed from innocence to turbidity, from simplicity to complexity, from selflessness to "selfishness" that prioritizes her own survival, and the priority of her needs is constantly adjusting. For example, her ideal in life was to study without worries, then the yearning for love, and then to burn all monsters, and finally it was transformed into the emergence of the pure and flawless ideal country of the Queen of Winter. Therefore, there is a clear transformation process from Rosaline back then to the lady she is now.

So some people say that human growth is to constantly kill the immature self of the past.

So rather than saying that the young Rosalyn was sleeping, it would be more accurate to say that she had been killed by the mature lady.

But the creator of "Flowers Fall and Water Flows" also mentioned that humans are creatures that are constantly struggling with their past selves, living in memories, and even wanting to go back to a carefree time. However, the rationality and needs of the present overwhelm this desire. What Shen Zhigui did was to let those overwhelmed thoughts buried deep in her heart overwhelm her existing rationality and needs, and then let her past thoughts and current cognition form a certain degree of alienation, which accidentally created this personality.

Although Shen Zhigui originally just wanted her to leave Mondstadt in a "normal" manner in the eyes of the Fatui, and then resolve this feud somewhere else.

But what was very strange was that after he accidentally created the personality of young Rosaline, the original lady's personality seemed to have fallen into an eternal sleep.

what is this?

An eighteen-year-old girl travels back in time to her own body hundreds of years later?

Shen Zhigui was a little confused about the current situation.

However, the more deeply Shen Zhigui delved into this process, the clearer his understanding of the soul realm became, and the closer the chasm between form and spirit became.

Even during her usual sparring with Keqing, Keqing could increasingly feel that Shen Zhigui's swordsmanship was advancing towards an unprecedented level.

Often he would just casually strike a stance, and his overflowing majesty would rush towards her like an overwhelming tide, putting her spirit in a state of ubiquitous high pressure, as if she were trapped in a muddy swamp, having difficulty breathing, or even moving. So Keqing, who originally had a slight advantage over Shen Zhigui by relying on her increasingly fast speed, soon realized that once she got close to the young man, she would definitely be the one to lose!

So she kept flying kites with the boy.

But in this case, neither of them can do anything to the other.

"What's the matter with that move of yours?"

After finishing the sparring, Keqing walked over and asked the young man.

Shen Zhigui just thought about it and said, "Master Yuhengxing, in your opinion, what kind of form should a person's mental state take?"

"shape?"

Keqing was stunned for a moment, and finally said hesitantly: "Flowing water?"

"You can say that, but in fact, it's more like a balloon," Shen Zhigui said, "So, when something like a hard external object presses against you, the balloon, the force-bearing surface of the balloon will become tight, and the gas or fluid in the balloon will involuntarily gather at the squeezed place. In the past, Master Yuhengxing, you could only feel this 'squeezing' when you were in a critical situation, but I used a little trick to create this illusion for you directly on the mental level."

"illusion?"

"You can understand it as some kind of illusion."

Shen Zhigui just said.

But Keqing didn't think it was an illusion.

Because at that time she could feel the sharpness of the boy's sword was a kind of glare she had never seen before.

If the essence of some superior swordsmanship lies in "the intention precedes the sword", then the boy's "intention" at that time was like a physical sword.

But she had no intention of delving into the boy's strangeness. She simply put away her sword and asked him, "How are you going to solve the lady's problem?"

Shen Zhigui thought about it and just shook his head: "It can't be solved at the moment, at least not in Mondstadt. If she leaves Mondstadt and goes to Liyue..."

I guess the Seven Stars will have to hold a meeting first? After all, the Winter Solstice is far more than just a trouble.

Although we still have to go back to the question, if a person becomes mentally ill after committing a crime, should he be tried?

Chapter 86: I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui had no answer.

Keqing was very tempted by Shen Zhigui's plan to let the lady leave Mondstadt and go to Liyue, but it would not be so easy to achieve this goal. Once Keqing condemned Zhidong for the lady's assassination, Zhidong would probably just say that it was the lady's personal behavior. On the surface, it would only make certain compensation to Liyue and Keqing personally, but it would only let the lady resign as a diplomat and recall Zhidong to inquire. It is estimated that it would not be possible to hand the lady over to Liyue. If it does not condemn, the lady will have no chance to leave Mondstadt.

"Then what if it's not in Liyue, but in Inazuma or Xumi?"

Keqing said.

Shen Zhigui glanced at her and asked, "Can you beat her?"

Right now, the lady is defeated because of Xiao.

Keqing was also speechless for a moment:

Although she is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, if Zhidong makes compensation after she condemns him and Liyue accepts it, then the matter will be over. If Liyue does not accept it, the conflict will only escalate. At that time, for her safety, not to mention that Liyue will only let her stay in the territory, even if she wants to take revenge, she may not be able to win!

The more Keqing thought about it, the more disgusted she felt.

Although she also knows that this is an essential experience as a political creature.

But why could she provoke disputes so unscrupulously and yet get away with it so easily in the end?

"Because of strength, right?"

Shen Zhigui just said it casually.

Keqing just looked at Shen Zhigui deeply, wanting to say something but stopping herself, but in the end she said nothing.

Although what she actually wanted to say was, if one day Shen Zhigui's strength surpassed that of the lady, could she entrust him to complete revenge for her?

But she really had no right to say such things.

Besides, Shen Zhigui didn’t actually have the privileges of the Seven Stars. If he attacked Zhidong’s diplomats on foreign territory without authorization, his situation would probably become very difficult.

So she just kicked Shen Zhigui in anger. Shen Zhigui looked at her in confusion, but she quickly turned around and left. So the boy could only shake his head, think about it, and then said, "Then I'll let her go?"

Keqing didn't say anything.

Shen Zhigui just acquiesced.

……

The lady - in fact, it would be better to call her Rosalyn from now on - stood on the edge of a stream, stuck her head out, and used the ice element from the evil eye given to her by the Queen of Winter to condense a piece of ice. She looked down at herself in the ice mirror wearing a dark mask. She reached out and took off the mask, and as expected, she saw the broken face under the mask. She touched the scars tremblingly, recalling the scenes she saw in the palace of memory. For a moment, her messy mind was like weeds swaying in the wind on the roadside.

"Do you know what you should do?"

At this time, a clear voice came from behind her. Rosalin turned around and saw the thin boy holding a sword in his hand, looking at her with pretended indifference.

Rosalin knew how many unforgivable crimes she had committed in the past, so she was not surprised by the boy's attitude. She just nodded and said, "I will do things according to the Madam's past style and will not let them see any flaws. But at the same time, I will help Mond in secret. After all, this is also my hometown, and I don't want this place to become a vassal of those ambitious people. In the end, I will leave this place."

Shen Zhigui didn't want to explore what she was thinking. In fact, when he used "Flowers fall and water flows" to influence this person, he had already vaguely realized that this person was indeed a completely different person from the lady, but this was not the focus of his attention. He just wanted to ask this person a question:

"What happened to your original personality?"

Rosalyn just shook her head: "I don't know."

"Not sure?"

"I had a brief exchange with her, but after that, she seemed to disappear. No matter how I shouted in my heart, she didn't give any response."

"is it?"

Shen Zhigui was skeptical.

But he continued:

"I have one more question."

The boy looked seriously at the lady in front of him who had the charm and demeanor of a mature woman but was as innocent as a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and said word by word: "Do you think you should pay the price for what your original personality did?"

Rosalin nodded sadly:

"should."

"Even if you didn't make it yourself?"

"If the person occupying this body now is me, then I did it. It doesn't make any difference because my consciousness is different from the original one. Not to mention, that 'I' was also evolved from 'I'. Although I can't agree that I became that kind of person in the end, the final facts have proved it. That means I would have become that kind of person anyway, so I must be responsible for it."

She said sternly.

Even because of excitement, her broken face, which was originally covered by the mask, seemed to be flowing with a flame-like color, and this flow did not even damage her charm, but instead added a few bright colors to her.

Seeing this, Shen Zhigui just nodded:

"So, you won't escape the judgment that belongs to you, right?"

"Yes," Rosalin continued to nod, but she quickly added, "But now, Mond is in dire straits, and Dongzhidong is eyeing Mond covetously. I can't die calmly under such circumstances. So, sir, if you want to judge me, can you let me solve the problem of Mond first? I promise it won't take too long, and then sir..."

Shen Zhigui raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

Rosalin could only wait anxiously for his verdict.

Shen Zhigui just pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I really can't tell you what your situation is, and I can't say whether you should accept the trial and revenge of others. I can't even tell others about your current situation. Of course, others may not believe it. However, from now on, you can only continue to be a lady, but I don't care what your selfish intentions are. As long as I find that you are still the same as before in this process, no matter whether you really have any good intentions towards Mond or have made any plans, you must leave Mond and go to Inazuma or Xumi to face the final judgment there. Do you understand?"

Rosalyn just nodded.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Since I can let you survive in this state, I can also control you to leave when the time comes."

Chapter 87: Riding Six Dragons (Part 1)

In the office at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

After Eula rushed to the headquarters day and night, she reported to Jyn in detail what she had seen and heard in the ruins of the Wind Dragon. At first, Jyn broke out in a cold sweat when she heard that the Fatui were trying to attack Yuheng Star. Then, she became even more worried when she heard that Liyue had sent immortals to come. She was barely relieved when she heard that Eula stopped the young man from killing the Fatui executive on the spot. Finally, when she heard Eula mention the young man's suggestion, she was stunned for a while before saying to Eula, "You handled this matter very well, Mondstadt. We really can't stand more turmoil now."

"So, how are you going to respond to that young man's suggestion?"

Qin pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'd better go and reply to him in person."

"Do you need me to lead the way?"

Qin thought for a moment and said, "Although I shouldn't let you run around any longer in this situation, I still want you to take me with you this time."

"I'm not that delicate."

Eula just pretended to be nonchalant.

Qin followed her out of the Knights' headquarters, and turned to look at the person beside her with some curiosity: "So, in your opinion, can Shen Zhigui really do what he said and cure Tevarin, the Guardian of the East Wind?"

Eula pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know."

"Not sure?"

"In theory, I am skeptical. After all, this statement is too unbelievable. But in reality, this man's performance has repeatedly exceeded my expectations. The Wind Dragon Ruins are full of wind barriers left by the Fierce Wind Demon, but he and the bard were able to remove them so easily. In addition, he has the trust of Liyue's immortals and the Seven Stars. Unless Liyue has joined forces with Zhidong and let the Fatui's executive officer, the Seven Stars and the immortals perform in front of me to make us agree to let him treat Tevarin and achieve some ulterior purpose, but if this is the case, he has no need to notify us at all. He can even sneak into the Wind Dragon Ruins by himself..."

As Eula spoke, she slowed down her pace, then stood there in deep thought, and finally said, "So, at least, in my opinion, he has good intentions towards Mond."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to seek the advice of the Knights of Favonius.

When Qin heard what Eula said, she nodded.

Although originally in Qin's heart, Shen Zhigui was just a normal person.

But if you think about it carefully, a normal person wouldn't treat Yuhengxing with that kind of attitude, right?

But now that he has proposed such a plan, Jean, as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, should handle it personally.

So she went to find Lisa first, and asked her and Kaia to temporarily handle the official business of the Knights of Favonius on her behalf, and then she and Eula set off for the Wind Dragon Ruins. The two of them did not stop, and even ran into Rosaline, who had been released by Shen Zhigui, on the way. However, they each had strange thoughts in their minds, and looked at each other warily, and then hurriedly passed by each other. When they could no longer find each other in their sight, Qin breathed a long sigh of relief:

"It seems that those people really have no intention of causing chaos in Mond."

"But letting that person go back isn't necessarily something to be happy about, right?"

Eula said.

Although it was she who stopped Shen Zhigui from killing the lady.

But that's just the lesser of two evils.

In fact, she was also very disgusted by what the woman did.

But I still have to hold my nose and endure it.

"yes……"

Qin couldn't help but nod.

So she couldn't help but yearn for what the young man said about curing the Guardian of the East Wind. Although she knew very well that even if Tevarin really woke up from his slumber, he would not necessarily cooperate with the Knights of Favonius and intervene in their dispute with the Fatui. But at least, Mondstadt, with the Guardian of the East Wind, could have the confidence to make changes, instead of trembling with fear and treading on thin ice to maintain the status quo and not daring to do anything.

Although in reality, she found it hard to believe that the boy, whom she had only met a few times, could do such a thing.

So, with this hesitant mentality, she rushed all the way to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

But when she arrived, she saw that boy and another unfamiliar, shorter boy standing on either side, each holding a gun. At this moment, it was as if invisible swords shot out from the two boys, and the cold edge scratched her skin, chilling her into her bones. The chill became more and more severe, until she had to step back to avoid it. Suddenly, the two men moved like thunder and lightning. At first, there was a clear interval between the sounds of the two guns hitting each other, but soon they became as dense as drizzle and connected into one, like a sharp beeping. The figures of the two men were like two clumps of ink splashed on paper. No matter whether they were close or far away, Qin had no way of seeing their specific movements clearly. Even if she put herself in the shoes of one of them, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

Does that boy really not have the Eye of God?

And who is that short boy on the other side?

Qin turned to look at Eula, who was obviously overworked. Her eyes were dark. She couldn't concentrate to begin with, and now she was dazzled by the fight between the two men. So she shook her head, trying to drive away the sleepiness, but she became even more shaky:

"That is the immortal of Liyue, who is said to be called the guardian Yaksha general..."
