Reading poems from Teyvat

It's like someone can use the Fire God's Eye to create ice!

Although if Shen Zhigui could hear his inner voice, he would probably say that if used properly, it is not impossible to use the element of fire to make ice. In comparison, the element of ice actually challenges his common sense of thermodynamics. Although he also knows that those who hold the Eye of God are originally called original gods, so these people are doing this just to use the power of God to rewrite the rules of this world.

Although these rules may not be the same as those he learned in his previous life.

Chapter 34: Clouds Grow and Sea Tower (Part 1)

After Shen Zhigui had neutralized all the "death energy" he had released with his "anger" so that passers-by would not be affected and suffer any adverse consequences, he ignored Xingqiu and just casually slapped the jade box on his waist. Xingqiu saw the emerald green spear with a flawless jade tip disappear out of thin air in his hand.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he doesn't have the Eye of God.

So when he turned around and was about to leave, Xingqiu couldn't help but shout out: "Zhigui, you really do have the Eye of God, right?"

Hiding it is just to scare people.

"If what you're asking is how my weapons are stored, this is the answer."

Shen Zhigui simply patted the jade box tied around his waist again.

"So that's where your Eye of God is placed?"

Xingqiu said.

"It's okay if you think so."

Although Shen Zhigui once wanted the Eye of God very much, and this thought never stopped even after he had the system, after all, no matter how he looked at it, the Eye of God could make it easier for him to live in this world. But after he learned the "external scene" technique from Master Liuyun Jiefeng, his desire for it faded a lot. This was not because he just coveted the space of the Eye of God, but because he realized that martial arts seemed to be able to do much more than what the Eye of God could do.

Although he hasn't developed many of them yet.

Even though it was an extremely evil martial art like "Flowers Fall and Water Flows", he had only used it on Rosaline out of helplessness. Although he originally wanted to use this martial art to dissipate Shen He's evil spirit, in the end he just let her develop her feelings naturally, and he was just thinking of making plans after her feelings could suppress the evil spirit.

"But at the moment, the most promising one is actually 'angry', right?"

After all, if Shen Zhigui wanted to, he could just use this skill to hang up a sign of saving lives and compete with Bai Zhu for the business of external injuries.

Even if it is an internal injury, he can cure it.

But he was really afraid of trouble, and the people around him didn't seem like the kind of people who would let him put himself in a situation that would require the death of human beings to be saved, so he had never used "anger" to save others.

Xingqiu, who was standing aside, saw that he looked absent-minded, and for a moment he became more certain of his guess. Although he thought it was a bit of a bad taste for this young man to hide his Divine Eye to scare people, he did not ask any more questions, and did not even ask why he could create this scene. After all, the skill of using the Divine Eye is everyone's hidden skill. Although Xingqiu selflessly made his skills available to the Guhua School, not many people could practice it by copying, right?

But Xingqiu saw that the young man was really about to leave, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Miss Shen He?"

"Why are you asking her?"

"I have already informed Chongyun's parents. Is it better to visit them tomorrow, or to arrange a meeting place?"

Shen Zhigui thought about it. Although it would be too much trouble for Shen He to find another place, it didn't seem to be a good idea to meet at Keqing's house, right? This kind of thing was awkward no matter how you looked at it. Of course, Shen He probably wouldn't have that idea. She was just a little curious about her life experience. She might not really want to meet Chongyun's family, let alone put herself in such a troublesome situation.

But he still helped Shen He make a decision and said, "Let's make an appointment."

After all, since it doesn't matter where she is, it's better to meet somewhere more formal than at Keqing's house.

"Then Xinyuexuan? I can still reserve a table for you. Of course, if you don't like it, you can also reserve a table at Wanmintang."

Xingqiu said.

"What do you mean we don't like it?"

"You're not going?"

"No, they are recognizing their relatives, why should I go?"

Shen Zhigui was shocked by Xingqiu's matter-of-fact tone:

Why should he get involved in these people's family affairs?

In his opinion, the immoral things done by Shen He's biological father were embarrassing enough. He used his own daughter as a sacrifice to the remains of the demon god in exchange for the possibility of resurrecting his illusory wife. This kind of thing would always be difficult for outsiders to know as long as both parties mentioned it when they met. Of course, Shen Zhigui learned about it purely from the text of the game. Even Master Liuyun Jiefeng only mentioned it to him in general, although Master Liuyun Jiefeng might not really know the details of the whole thing.

"But aren't you Miss Shen He's junior fellow apprentice?"

"So what if I'm her junior fellow apprentice?"

Shen Zhigui said.

"Junior brother is half a family member, right?"

In fact, after Xingqiu went to inform Chongyun's parents, the two people asked him about Shen He's recent situation. When they heard that Shen He was accompanied by a little junior brother, the two people asked him to make sure to let Shen Zhigui go with him, using the above-mentioned excuse.

Although Shen Zhigui could reluctantly agree with this statement, he still instinctively felt troubled and said, "You don't treat those fellow disciples of the Guhua Sect as family members, do you?"

"I would rather..."

Xingqiu looked like he had a lot of pain that he couldn't express.

But in fact, he has an extraordinary status in the Guhua Sect. Even his master is a little respectful to him. He even hopes that he can finish his studies and leave the sect as soon as possible, otherwise he will become more and more awkward. In that situation, it is obviously impossible for Xingqiu to establish any family-like friendship with his senior brothers and junior sisters. It is better to say that it would be a lot of psychological pressure for a normal person to get along with a genius like him, not to mention becoming each other's family in a declining small sect.

Shen Zhigui could vaguely guess his situation, but still felt that there was no need for him to interfere in Shen He's family affairs. After all, judging from her recent behavior, even if she had no precedent for handling such matters, she would not cause any trouble, right?

So he waved his hand and just said, "I'll ask her to go to Xinyuexuan tomorrow at noon."

"and many more!"

Xingqiu still called out to Shen Zhigui.

"how?"

"Since you said you are a warrior, I am also a warrior, and I am proud of my swordsmanship. Of course, if you are willing, we can compete in spearmanship. If I beat you in the competition, you will accompany Miss Shen He to Xinyuexuan, okay?"

Xingqiu put his book back, then took out a slender sword, held it flat in front of him, looked directly at the young man, and said.

"I said……"

Shen Zhigui couldn't understand why he was so active in other people's family affairs, so he frowned and asked:

"Do you really need to do this? It doesn't seem to affect you whether I go or not, right?"

"Then whether you asked Yuhengxing that question before or not, it didn't seem to have any impact, right?"

"So this is revenge?"

Chapter 35: Clouds Form the Sea Tower (Part 2)

Of course, for Xingqiu, he was just purely taking a small revenge and satisfying his curiosity.

And he just saw the young man holding a long sword, slightly tilting his head, looking at him for a moment, but suddenly shook his head and said: "Although I don't really want to fight with others recently, but if someone comes to my door to send me off, I can't refuse-"

"What does send mean?"

Xingqiu asked.

"Oh, in my hometown, to describe a person with a low level, we often say that this person is a loser," Shen Zhigui's tone suddenly became serious, just like a rigid director of the Academic Affairs Office standing on the podium and lecturing students, "and the behavior of those who are frequently defeated but have a mysterious confidence in themselves and always challenge others is called a loser."

Although this is just nonsense on his part.

But it was precisely his serious tone that made Xingqiu, who had not intended to take this competition seriously, gradually tighten his grip on the sword. However, Xingqiu still had some of the bearing of a young master from an aristocratic family, so he asked calmly, "From what you said, Zhigui, are you sure you can beat me?"

"I never doubted it."

"So Zhigui, you are so conceited about your genius that you didn't join Xiangling in worshipping Grandma Ping as your master?"

"Your words seem ambiguous, right? But they have nothing to do with that."

At this time Shen Zhigui shook his head and said.

"So you just think I'm weak and can be bullied?"

"It's not impossible for you to think so."

When Xingqiu heard Shen Zhigui's remarks, he immediately became furious. Although he knew that this might just be Shen Zhigui's way of provoking him before the battle, he was one of the few young geniuses in Liyue. Even though he had never shown his arrogance to others and was almost always immersed in his own world, he was still a teenager at heart, not to mention that he was looked down upon by Shen Zhigui, who looked to be the same age as him.

So after the two of them greeted each other, Xingqiu immediately took the initiative. Dense water elements formed sword-shaped weapons around him, hanging like a curtain, and then he rushed towards Shen Zhigui without delay. The "Rain Curtain Sword" shot towards Shen Zhigui as instructed by his thoughts, but at the same time, the weapon in his hand also targeted Shen Zhigui's physical weaknesses. The physical weapon and the "Rain Curtain Sword" condensed by water elements were divided into two groups. Anyone who saw this move for the first time would be unable to cope with it...

But the long sword in the young man's hand, which seemed to be made of flawless emerald green jade, broke through the air like a rainbow light at that moment, and first slashed on the trajectory of the Rain Curtain Sword. Xingqiu had no time to adjust, and saw the Rain Curtain Sword and the strange long sword intersecting. Then, the elemental power seemed to be annihilated, or swallowed by a black hole, and was completely consumed. However, the rainbow light continued to come, and took advantage of the flaw created by Xingqiu's Rain Curtain Sword. The sword light swept through Xingqiu's empty door and pointed directly at his vital points!

Xingqiu couldn't even sense any mercy under the ruthlessness of this sword.

In this situation, Xingqiu felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet along his spine to the back of his head. He didn't even bother to create a subsequent Rain Curtain Sword to ease his situation. He could only use the sword in his hand to block the long sword in a dangerous manner, but the tip of the sword still hit his chest and almost cut his clothes. However, the chill had already penetrated his skin and even seeped into his bones.

"how?"

But soon, Xingqiu saw that the boy, whose face was originally as cold as the north wind in December, quickly returned to the carefree and absent-minded look of the clear autumn sky. He just casually made a sword flower, took out a scabbard from somewhere, pretended to put the sword into the scabbard, and even tied it behind his back. Seeing that Xingqiu still looked frightened, he just said:

"I told you you can't beat me, right?"

It’s not like Xingqiu hadn’t heard Xiangling talk about Shen Zhigui’s so-called “scary speed”.

But he originally thought that it was simply because Xiangling was not on guard that Shen Zhigui had the opportunity to take advantage of her.

But the speed displayed by Shen Zhigui at the moment was a little too scary.

Could it be that because he didn't get the Eye of God when he competed with Xiangling, now that he got it, his speed and martial arts skills have been improved to a higher level?

After Xingqiu came to his senses, he couldn't help but start thinking about these questions.

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his expression. Although he thought that he was probably just imagining things, Shen Zhigui didn't bother to care what he was thinking because he was already annoyed enough with martial arts recently. He didn't have the mood to look through the new rewards given by the system. He just wanted to leave on his own. However, Xingqiu obviously sorted out his feelings quickly and even caught up with him and asked him directly about martial arts:

"How do you manage to be fast and accurate, and even break the water element?"

That's because I have a plug-in.

Shen Zhigui thought to himself.

After all, after he practiced “Fish and Birds Fly and Sink Differently in the World”, his efficiency in both martial arts and learning and thinking was far superior to before. It could even be said that according to the “Three Elements of Victory and Defeat” theory that he had originally made up with Keqing, “Fish and Birds Fly and Sink Differently in the World” not only provided him with a bonus in terms of body control, but also a bonus in terms of algorithms. It could even allow him to enter a mysterious state where time almost stopped when he was concentrating. So as soon as Xingqiu drew his sword, he could almost judge his subsequent changes, and thus cut in at the critical juncture—

Although this was purely bullying because no one had seen his speed.

Moreover, this method can only be used against young people like Xingqiu who are still relatively immature - compared to Xiao or Grandma Ping. If it were Xiao, even if Shen Zhigui figured out the node of Xiao's change of moves, he would not be able to take advantage of it, because the weakness of Xingqiu's moves is just the difference between dough and wood compared to his normal moves. In fact, even if Shen Zhigui did not take advantage of this, he could still win the battle, but the weakness of Xiao's moves is completely the difference between stone and diamond compared to his normal moves -

It is normal to use a sword to cut dough, but to cut stone, although Shen Zhigui's weapon can be called a magic weapon, it is not simply a problem of the quality of the weapon. If he fails to use it well, he will soon be hit back and thrown out. He has to respond. Even if "Nanshan Xiaoxue Yulinxun" has been successfully used, he will probably have numb hands for a while before he can adapt.

So it was only natural that he won against Xingqiu so easily.

Chapter 36: Clouds Grow and Sea Tower (Part 2)

The secret of Shen Zhigui's ability to do this is obviously not suitable to be shared with Xingqiu.

Although he did not cling to those martial arts to preserve his own strengths and advantages, the danger of practicing "Fish and Birds in the World Fly and Sink" was far greater than "Coming Like Thunder and Ending with Fury" and "South Mountain Morning Snow is Jade-like". He even felt that it was too reckless to split his consciousness as soon as he got it.

Although he actually knew that he would do that.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have practiced “Come like thunder and end with wrath” so hard in the beginning.

But why did he feel more and more upset about martial arts?

Is it like biting off more than you can chew?

Or is it because the shadow of "heavenly principles" is too deep?

But it is obvious that the faster he progresses, the sooner Heaven will notice him, rather than the other way around. The slower he progresses, the more likely he is to be discovered. Although he does not think that martial arts and the "abyss" are the same kind of power, at least for now they have not shown the potential to shake the foundation of this world, and even in the end they may not become like the abyss and oppose the entire world. However, Heaven will obviously only tolerate its own rules and roots being shaken, so they will have to fight in the end.

Perhaps it was because of this possibility that Shen Zhigui felt that he had to confront justice in the end, so it would be better to do it earlier than to postpone it.

But he was obviously not ready.

That's why I'm so upset.

"Chigui?"

Xingqiu asked when he heard Shen Zhigui sigh.

"If it involves the secrets of your sect's martial arts, I won't ask."

“Although it’s not that secret, it’s not a common method either,” Shen Zhigui shook his head and said, “But, Xingqiu, do you really feel a sense of urgency about improving your martial arts?”

Xingqiu thought about it and said, "But making progress is better than standing still, right?"

That's also a reason.

When Shen Zhigui heard him say that, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"You don't think I'm the kind of person who has nothing to do because I'm well fed all day, do you?"

Xingqiu saw his expression and said.

"To be honest, my ideal life is to just eat and wait for death."

Shen Zhigui just said.

Apparently Xingqiu also understood that "eating and waiting to die" is just another way of saying "eating all day and doing nothing".

But the second son of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce looked Shen Zhigui up and down for a long time, and finally said: "You mean to say that your martial arts have improved so far entirely because of your talent, and you haven't put in any effort in it. Your martial arts have been improving only because of your talent?"
