Reading poems from Teyvat

He actually had his own surname, or family name, but after he fell into the state of a sea demon, he was ashamed to mention it, and he didn't want his family to find him, so he just made up a name to get along with the group of accomplices around him.

The reason for his downfall was very simple. He didn't want to waste his life on the battlefield and add his flesh and blood to the battlefield created by the meaningless political differences of those carnivores. In addition, he himself was a lazy person and couldn't stand the atmosphere in the army. So he became a deserter during an expedition to Umijima and fled all the way back to the vicinity of Narukamijima. However, he realized that going back would only bring trouble to his family, so he found an organization nearby to join, and from then on he lived a life of robbery, drunkenness and dreams.

He had some vision and knew that the Tenryo Bugyo was already overwhelmed with dealing with the rebels. What's more, the Tenryo Bugyo might not really be so dedicated to following the orders of the Thunder God. They also had their own selfish desires, so the army could only barely maintain a framework. Perhaps the adopted son of Tengu from the Kujo family would be able to slightly rectify the army's discipline in the future, but that had nothing to do with him. At least he was really unwilling to throw himself into the bloody battlefield for the sake of the "Eye Hunting Order", so he became a Kairanki. From the Tenryo Bugyo's point of view, as long as the Kairanki did not form a certain scale, they would not send people to clear them out.

So Shuichiro was very smart to keep his group in such a small scale.

But Shuichiro knew very well in his heart that there was no end in sight for such a life.

As a sea ghost, he basically said goodbye to the possibility of dying of old age, because the sea ghosts are a group where the fittest survive, and there are monsters like the Hillbillies lurking everywhere in the wild. Although they are not invincible, there will inevitably be losses in a fight. Once the injured sea ghosts lose their combat effectiveness, these bandits who are accustomed to burning, killing and looting will definitely not take care of those people, but will just throw these useless accomplices into the sea to feed the fish.

However, Shuichiro only thought about these questions occasionally.

Most of the time, he would just wait on the roadside with his accomplices to see if anyone was passing by, and then suddenly jump out to intercept those passers-by and rob them of their money and food. Once he had enough money, he would run to the city and indulge himself. Why bother thinking so much?

Anyway, what good outcome can anyone who embarks on this path really have?

Shuichiro held the bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth while looking at the road in a daze.

But he didn't know if he was drunk, but a thin figure seemed to appear in his pupils. He was about to look at it carefully, but his accomplice next to him just said, "This doesn't seem to be profitable. Do you want to do this job?"

Shuichirou looked at the figure walking alone on the road.

Judging from his clothes alone, the man did not look like a wealthy man. Besides, anyone who dared to walk alone on the road at this time of year was either a pauper who could not afford guards or a strong man with great martial arts skills who was not afraid of anyone, so it was normal for his accomplice to hesitate.

Shuichiro himself was indeed a bit smart. He was well aware of robbery and knew the trick. Generally speaking, although a caravan with too many guards would certainly have a lot of benefits, it was actually not easy to rob; people who traveled alone generally didn't have much benefits, and might even end up in trouble, so they shouldn't be robbed. But recently it seemed that someone had figured out their pattern, causing some wealthy families to take risks just to save a few dollars. Even when they went into the city to spend money, one could hear those wealthy families boasting that they could travel this road alone. When Shuichiro heard this, his nose almost got crooked with anger, and he even wanted to pull out a knife on the spot to perform a white knife in and red knife out show for those people.

So he looked at the figure carefully, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Get ready!"

"No way, are they really going to rob it? That kid doesn't look like he's living a life of luxury, but rather like a sickly person!"

"What do you know!"

Shuichiro tapped his accomplice on the head and said, "If I'm guessing correctly, that kid should be a noble. They like this kind of tune."

"But how can a noble be without guards?"

"I guess that kid thinks he's very capable and can handle us by himself, so he wants to come out alone to train, and if possible, he even wants to kill a few of us and take our heads back to brag about it!" Shuichiro pointed at the box on the waist of the figure and said, "Look over there, that thing on the kid's waist, that thing must be a valuable item, and the sword behind the kid is not the style we Inazuma are used to using, but it must be a good sword. Haven't you been clamoring to change weapons? Today, the kid has caught up with you, isn't it a good opportunity for you to change weapons?"

"But I'm not used to that format either!"

"It's enough to have something useful. Why are you so picky? Can you afford to be so picky?"

The closer Xiuyilang saw the boy approaching, the more certain he was of his judgment. He sobered up immediately and rubbed his hands. When the boy came close, he jumped out and shouted, "Stop!"

Chapter 63: Sea Ghost Investigation Report (Part 2)

"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you need to leave me some money to pay for your passage."

As soon as he heard the young man opposite him say this, Shuichirou had a strange feeling. But his accomplice next to him actually agreed with the young man with a silly look on his face, and said something like this was good and could be used as an opening remark in the future. Shuichirou thought to himself, you might as well use this as a farewell poem instead of an opening poem. Anyway, I think you will fail sooner or later if you keep going like this!

Are you that kind of person who pretends to be cultured?

At this time, his accomplice had already drawn out the already scarred blade, pointed it at the boy, threatened him to hand over his money, and even directly pointed out that they wanted to take out the box on his waist. Because Shuichiro had been drinking, his mind was still a little confused, and he was happy to stand aside and be lazy. But at this time, he saw that the boy put his hand on the sword behind his back, so he sneered, thinking that your appearance is indeed in line with the aesthetics of those nobles, but the battlefield is not a place for you to think you can be invincible just after learning to pick up a sword, not to mention that your skinny body is suitable for being a small surname -

After a moment, the sword flashed, and Shuichiro didn't see what happened clearly, but heard the man say:

"A red-haired ghost and a green-faced ghost, right?"

Shuichirou understood what this meant.

He was referring to the nicknames given to the two men by the ignorant villagers.

He was about to draw his samurai sword, but he noticed that his accomplice had been held at the neck by the young man with a long sword that was similar in shape to the weapons used by Liyue, and the accomplice's weapon had obviously been cut in two cleanly.

What is really a weapon of superior quality?

It would be such a waste to give it to him!

So, it’s like killing two birds with one stone!

It was obvious that Shuichilang was not a person who would care about the life of his accomplice. At this moment, he even thought of using the accomplice's body to cover himself and pierce the boy's chest from behind to launch a sneak attack. As soon as he thought of this idea, he acted decisively, but the boy seemed to see his actions clearly. No matter how much Shuichilang pushed his accomplice's body forward, he did not feel the sword blade hurting another person. The accomplice obviously did not expect that Shuichilang would actually attack him at this time, and he widened his eyes unwillingly, but Shuichilang just pushed his body away casually, and saw that the boy had retreated ten steps away.

This speed is really unbelievable.

"Shuichiro, why…"

But Shuichiro obviously didn't want to waste time with him, and added another stab at him: "If a fool like you doesn't die at my hands, then he will die at his hands. Dying at my hands is at least a little useful."

Xiuichiro had been on guard against the boy rushing over when he was about to finish off the opponent, but when he drew his sword again, the boy just stood there motionless, just watching him with cold eyes. Xiuichiro thought he was scared silly, so he licked the blood on the samurai sword and said in a crazy way: "What's up, kid, are you scared? This is not a place for you elegant young men to come!"

Shuichiro is indeed a little unpredictable now.

So he wanted to use this deliberately created bloody smell to scare him away.

But the boy just sighed pretentiously: "I wanted to ask for clarification, but now it doesn't matter whether I ask or not."

"Are you asking about the woman in the caravan that passed by here three days ago, or the nobleman who came with only two guards half a month ago? Unfortunately, I have thrown them all into the sea to feed the fish. By the way, if we didn't have too little food here, I would actually like to let that woman continue to live..."

Xiuyilang stared at the boy's expression carefully and deliberately said some dirty words to provoke him, but the boy just looked at him calmly and sighed:

"Although I might have wanted to explore why you guys have fallen to this point before, I was doing this out of selfish motives. So even if it is true that the old society turned people into ghosts, it would still be a peaceable world if there were one less person like you who kill people wantonly with your own force, right?"

"Stop pretending!"

But Xiuichiro was angered by his behavior, so he rushed forward waving his family's samurai sword. But after a moment of dazzling light and shadow, Xiuichiro felt that his consciousness was burned by flames. The extreme pain completely overwhelmed him, so in the end, there was only one thought left in his mind:

It can finally be over.

This is a life that is bad and wrong.

Shen Zhigui just silently watched the process of the flow of vitality and death between these two people.

In fact, the more sea ghosts he killed recently, the faster he could transform the life and death energy in his body. And this was not only because he had experienced this process more, felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in it, and had insight into the mystery of it, but also because his "perspective" became more and more strange. Sometimes, he could even directly see through these people's bodies and see their flowing thoughts. He could even read their strongest thoughts as if he could hear their inner voices. That's why he had been acting more and more directly recently, because most of the sea ghosts were basically robbers with lives on their hands, and only very few could escape his judgment.

And now, his "perspective" can even see the color of other people's souls.

At this moment, the two souls that have not yet completely dissipated are a ball of dirty blood light.

Is this the Tongyou Mingtong?

It always feels a bit tasteless.

However, it seems that this ability has not evolved to its full potential.

And he remembered that there seemed to be a similar setting in the works he had seen before. What was that? It seemed to be the "Pure Eye" of Nanaya Yori, the father of Nanaya Shiki in "Tsukihime"? So can this ability evolve into the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception"?

Shen Zhigui couldn't help but have some fantastic thoughts.

However, he felt that both the Mystic Eyes of Shiki Ryougi's version and the Mystic Eyes of Shiki Nanaya's version were still a bit useless. Otherwise, it would be better to just give them the version of the Mystic Eyes by the demon god Baror in Celtic mythology!

Faced with his increasingly bizarre "perspective", Shen Zhigui still couldn't think of how to use it in the future. Although it was indeed a little more convenient for judging at the moment, was this so-called Tongyou Mingtong just going to make him a Xiezhi? It would be better for him to go directly to Yan Fei!

Chapter 64: Traces (Part 1)

The shrine's magistrate is the Kamisato House.

Thomas hurried to the master's room to report the news, but when he saw the Kamisato brothers and sisters were there, he immediately shut up. Kamisato Ayaka saw that he was originally in a hurry, but now he was so quiet, so she immediately asked: "Thomas, don't you have something to report?"

Thomas was really embarrassed to speak.

"Do you just want to report the news to your brother?"

Thomas knew that the White Egret Princess was very sharp-minded, so he immediately said, "Although I have absolutely no intention of hiding anything from you, young lady, reporting this news to you will only cause you more trouble."

"What exactly is the news?"

"'That person' has already left Narukami Island."

Kamisato Ayato's expression also grew a little gloomy: "You mean, his range of activities has already entered the Tadashi Sand?"

Thomas nodded. "I found his whereabouts in a village near Ta'ersha. Although some people have heard of his reputation recently and some want to imitate him to do similar things, which has caused various information to be confusing and difficult to distinguish, he has indeed stepped into the range of Ta'ersha. Master, that place is close to the front line. If we want to continue looking for him, it may be a lot more difficult with our manpower..."

"Who are you talking about?"

When Kamisato Ayaka heard that the news reported by Thomas was unclear, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Thomas glanced at Kamisato Ayato, who turned to look at her sister, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Go ahead, it's just rumors anyway."

Thomas saw the master of the family speak, and as a retainer of the Kamisato family, he could only tell everything in detail: "In the past two months, a legend suddenly appeared in the land of Inazuma. No, it can't be said to be a legend. There really is such a person or a ghost who started from the outlying islands and headed towards Narukami Island and even Umijima Island. He thoroughly sorted out the sea ghosts in the territory. In these two months, he almost traveled to all the lands under the rule of the shogunate and judged all the sea ghosts who had killed people. Some people said that he was a survivor whose family was massacred by the sea ghosts. After obtaining the Eye of God, he vowed to kill all the sea ghosts in the world. Some people said that he was just a swordsman from a foreign land. There are also people who think that he is a ghost gathered by the dead souls in the sea, but no one can prove their claims. The few sea ghosts who have not been stained with human lives and have escaped from his hands are unwilling to reveal their faces even if they die. We can only roughly guess that he is a male and should not be very old. As for the rest, we are confused."

"But you said he went to Taliangsha recently?"

Thomas nodded. "After he appeared, many people followed his example to attack the Kairanki. However, most of them were injured after attacking one or two places and could no longer lift their swords. You know that after the general issued the 'Eye Hunting Order', only the three great officials can openly continue to hold the Eye of God, so those who followed him can only rely on numbers, otherwise they will definitely not be the opponents of those Kairanki. But the strange thing is that wherever 'that person' went, there was no trace of extra elemental power left. Instead, there were only some inappropriate traces of withered grass and trees. This was also the sign of his attack. Although his imitators wanted to create the same traces, no one could do it."

"You mean..."

Kamisato Ayaka wanted to ask him if that person didn't have the Eye of God, but Thomas nodded first: "Yes, we speculate that he doesn't have the Eye of God, at least, not the Eye of God corresponding to the mainstream Seven Consuls."

"So 'he' or 'him' is really the spirit of revenge gathered from the dead souls at the bottom of the sea as the legend says? Or is he a resurrected demon?"

Kamisato Ayaka asked.

"In fact, this is also what I am hesitant about," Kamisato Ayato added, "If he is a human who does such a thing on his own without the Eye of God, then why would he do such a thing? If he is really a vengeful spirit gathered by the dead souls in the seabed, then he should be reported to the Yamaguchi. If he is a resurrected demon god, then it is the business of the Tenryo Bugyo."

Although Kamisato Ayato didn't finish his words, Kamisato Ayaka knew what her brother meant. If that person was just an ordinary person, then he would be more suitable to participate in the current chaos in Inazuma. The two siblings really couldn't understand why the "Eye Hunting Order" was issued. They always felt that this was just a means for the Tenryo to deceive the Shogun. However, they had no way to contact the Shogun directly. If they rashly went to meet him, they would probably anger the Shogun and bring the Kamisato family into the abyss. Therefore, they had to accumulate enough manpower among the people -

Although this approach is a bit like helping them to take advantage of the situation.

However, the Kamisato family really couldn't do more.

"So, we should first confirm who he is, right?"

Kamisato Ayaka said.

"Yes," Thomas replied, "but he seems to have never been close to human habitation. Even if we check the information and related personnel from the place where he first appeared, we can't find any trace of him. The Kanding Bugei of the Outlying Islands also has no corresponding records of discrepancies. Of course, the Fatui of Solitary Winter do have records of discrepancies. If we start from them, we can barely find the candidate, but there seems to be no reason for the Fatui to do such a thing."

"What if they are going to do human experiments?"

Kamisato Ayaka made a guess.

"This is also a direction, but in this case..."

Thomas couldn't help but ponder for a moment and shook his head: "There's no need for us to contact them, right?"

After all, the reason why Tianling issued the Eye Hunting Order is probably because the Fatui are in collusion with them.

If they contact the Fatui at this time, they will undoubtedly give others a handle. The Fatui will then sell the news of their private contact to the Tenryo Bugyo. Although the Society Bugyo is still controlled by the Kamisato family, in fact, the two brothers and sisters are too young, so they can only barely convince the public at the moment. If the Tenryo Bugyo catches them, the Kamisato family will definitely be in a precarious situation again. It is not even unimaginable that the Shogun will directly order a replacement family to control the Society Bugyo.

After all, the general had already issued the Eye Hunting Order under the deception of Tianling Fengxing.

"No matter what, we should hurry up and find that person's whereabouts. If he is found by Tianling Fengxing and bribed by them, I'm afraid..."

Kamisato Ayato thought about it and suddenly felt a little chilly: After the "Eye Hunting Order" was issued, the God's Eyes in Inazuma would probably soon be concentrated in the hands of the Tenryo Bugyo. If such a being was bribed by the Tenryo Bugyo...

Chapter 65: Traces (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui had indeed arrived near Ta'ersha.

He also had no intention of getting involved in the confrontation between the shogunate and the rebels.

In fact, to be honest, all of Inazuma's affairs were caused by Lei Dianying's indifference and throwing the affairs to General Raiden, so it is very simple to solve Inazuma's current predicament. Just break into Lei Dianying's pure land and slap her twice to stop her from going crazy. Apart from that, the Eye Hunting Order, the Three Bugyo, and the Resistance Army are just minor details. So if Shen Zhigui really wants to participate in Inazuma's turmoil, he only needs to find Yae Miko of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

After all, Inazuma's affairs are indeed in a state where all of Raiden's affairs depend on General Raiden.

Didn’t you see that the Umijima Island was only resisting in the name of “Restoration of Imperial Rule”?

They really didn't dare to use the name of "clearing the court" as happened in Chinese history and end up clearing out even the emperor himself. After all, Lei Dianying was a real god in the world, so the best result the rebels expected was that Lei Dianying could issue a "confession of guilt", revoke the Eye Hunting Order, end Inazuma's state of isolation, and clean up those corrupt villains in Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo.

What else could be done?

Is there anyone in the resistance who can really face a god who can split an island in half with one sword? It is better to say that the Orobas that Haige Island believes in has long been killed by the hands of the Thunder Movie. From the beginning, they have no capital to resist the Thunder Movie. If the Thunder Movie really insists on his own way and refuses to admit his mistakes, and fails to see the true thoughts of the people, but ends the war with his own power of God and lets the automatic puppet General Raiden continue to manage Inazuma, their sacrifice will be purely in vain.

Of course, Shen Zhigui himself can neither do it nor is interested in doing it now.

However, when he walked to the Ta'er Sand and the deaths of Hai Luan Gui had piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he could indeed feel that his martial arts had reached a limit. The colors of the souls he could see from his perspective became more and more colorful, and the conversion of the life and death energy in his body became more and more natural. Moreover, if he had used "The Heavens Above and the Underworld" to circulate the Qi in his body before, he would have felt an unspeakable pain, because the life and death energy at that time was actually an external object that he could not understand or control, so at that time he always felt like he was crushed by a huge millstone, but now, he has completely controlled the life and death energy, so he no longer has that kind of pain, and even because of this, he can feel that the natural barrier of "Refining Qi into Spirit" has become extremely weak at this moment, as if with just a slight stab, he can step into that realm, thereby pushing his martial arts to a previously unimaginable level.

"But the question is, where is the thorn?"

Shen Zhigui was looking at the wailing scenes of the remaining souls of the sea ghosts at this time, and thought to himself.

He could feel that the current "Tongyou Mingtong" definitely had not evolved into a complete form, but he could not figure out what was restricting him, restricting his transformation of true qi into soul. Or, was it really that this martial arts system was incompatible with this world, causing the true qi cultivated in his body to be unable to completely remove the traces from the heaven and the abyss, and truly be used by him in the true qi martial arts system?

If this is the case, you must first create a "filter" -

But Shen Zhigui could not find any inspiration standing in this sea of ​​corpses and blood.

After all, it is already extremely difficult to create a new system in the gap between the laws of nature and the abyss. Now he even has to find a piece of pure land in the areas that they have already polluted and controlled, so that those powers can be used by him. Can anyone really do this?

He stood there in deep thought for a long time, but suddenly he was startled to find that there was hazy moonlight everywhere. Not far away on the sea there were rippling waves like snow. Apart from the sound of the tide, it was so quiet that there was not even the sound of crows.

"Is someone besieging this place? Or did I steal their target?"
