Reading poems from Teyvat

"To be precise, it's the Heart of Thundergod," the soldier waved his hand and said impatiently, "Well, come here quickly, or you don't want to see your friend die here, right?"

"I just have a question," Shen Zhigui said seriously, "If you are going to take revenge on her after you get the Heart of God as you said, although I am not sure to what extent the Heart of God can enable you to do, but if I cooperate with you as you said, won't it cause more casualties?"

"Are you the kind of person who would sacrifice his friends for a stranger? Or are you just hiding your fear and using that hypocritical excuse to sacrifice your friends?"

When he finished speaking, his voice suddenly rose.

"So what?"

Shen Zhigui said casually.

"You humans are really..."

"Ah, I'm sorry." At this time, the bard who should have been caught by him struggled easily from his grasp and left his grasp like a breeze. "Since your goal is only Baalzebul's Heart of God, then this matter has nothing to do with me, right?"

The scattered soldier looked in astonishment at the two young men standing side by side opposite him.

"you……"

"Hey," Wendy laughed immediately, "I thought you Fatui were up to some conspiracy, but I was just an innocent victim."

"Speaking of reason, do you think you can hide forever? As long as Mondstadt does not change its weak status quo, you will not be spared by the Queen of Winter," Shen Zhigui simply said, "Under such circumstances, it is hard for you to continue to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery."

"Why not?"

"I've told Ying before that if you want to fight against the god she mentioned, you either need to change yourself, improve yourself, or make more friends. Don't you have a good relationship with Zhong... I mean, Morax?"

Wendy just shook her head without saying anything. She turned around and smiled playfully at Shen Zhigui, saying, "But don't we still have you? Don't you think you are one of the good friends I have made?"

"I bother!"

Shen Zhigui immediately pushed his hand away.

Although it’s not that he didn’t understand what Wendy meant.

But he still felt disgusted by that kind of statement, and even got goose bumps, so he quickly distanced himself from him.

"you……"

At this time, the angry voices of the scattered soldiers rang out in this closed stone chamber.

Chapter 8: How can I relieve my depression? (Part 2)

The soldier who originally thought his plan was perfect saw that the drunkard who was just idle could easily escape his control. Obviously, he had misjudged him. And judging from the meaning of the two people's words, they were saying that the bard was actually the wind god Barbatos! Although the drunkard's God's Heart was not the soldier's goal at all, and he didn't care much about his duties as an executive of the Fatui, but this feeling of missing out on the God's Heart of a god and being fooled by these two people was really annoying!

So the scattered soldiers would naturally be furious.

He wished he could kill these two men right away to vent his anger.

No matter what the plan, what the heart of God, or what the duty of the Fatui executive is, it is not as strong as the shame at this moment, so he just wants to wash it all away!

So he recklessly poured out the lightning elements accumulated in his body into this sealed stone chamber. As a result, the stone chamber, which should have been dimly lit, seemed to be stuffed with a sun. There was dazzling light in all directions. The dense lightning elements exploded, filling all the space, as if countless birds were chirping, and then rushed towards the two people like a tide.

"As expected of Baalzebul's test subject."

But Sanbing only heard the young man who was holding on to his dream say this lightly.

It seemed as if the outbreak of the scattered soldiers at this moment was just like a spring breeze.

"Shut up!"

The scattered soldier suddenly shouted even more frantically, and then the thunder element burst out to a higher level. However, no matter how he burst out, the young man always stood firm like a beacon in the storm. The young man even said lightly: "But have you ever thought that the reason why I was able to pull your creator out of her closed Pure Land is because I could face her majesty and even almost win the battle? And you actually wanted to get her God's Heart first before you had the courage to stand in front of her and dare to retaliate against her. You even wanted to take your anger out on innocent people in your self-righteous revenge, and you said you wanted to destroy the country she cherished. From this point of view, why do you think you can control me?"

Seeing this, the scattered soldiers were so angry that they almost gritted their teeth:

"Shut up!"

Although the reason why Shen Zhigui was able to hold his own against Lei Dianying was entirely because he had given a part of his soul, that is, one of the "flying birds" that had been transformed by divinity, to Lei Dianzhen for control, and he himself had also used the other "flying bird" that had been transformed by divinity as his own "weapon", so that he could adapt to that level of combat. If he dared to do so in a world outside of Yi Xin Pure Land, and with Wendy by his side, he would most likely directly alert the Heavenly Law Maintainer -

Although it seems that Ying can block the bullet later, this is still a bit too unethical.

So Shen Zhigui actually didn't dare to use that kind of method.

However, Mengxiang Yixin is still the personal sword of the two generations of Thor, and he is also equipped with the evil star's hand and eye by Lei Dianqie——

Although at this moment, Lei Dianying was actually a little hesitant. After all, no matter what, Sanbing was created by her. Although whether it can be called life is still debatable, even if Sanbing claimed to take revenge on her and destroy the country of Inazuma, no matter what, the creator always has an indescribable feeling of not wanting to destroy his own work, even if it is a failure.

So she didn't take any action at this moment.

Even cut off the connection with my dream.

But she is definitely not siding with the stragglers.

It was because she knew very well that although Shen Zhigui seemed to care little about anything, and in fact he was a little detached, but because of this, sometimes he might choose to let her reform and make up for the mistakes she had made before because a tyrant like himself was indispensable to Inazuma, but more often, he didn't mind letting those he didn't like die.

And judging from the personality of her creation, it was indeed not the type that Shen Zhigui liked.

Not to mention that Sanbing even wanted to kidnap his friends to force him to surrender.

Of course, it's not that his friends are that important to him, but this person is obviously the type who will completely root out the problem if someone crosses the line, otherwise he wouldn't always stay by his friends' side. So she doesn't really believe that Shen Zhigui would choose to let San Bing go, because that would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, not to mention that San Bing was so angry that he wanted to kill Shen Zhigui directly -

So Lei Movie just chose to turn a blind eye to it.

Anyway, keeping this creature will sooner or later be a disaster. Compared with her feelings for Inazuma, her feelings for Ah Zhen naturally become less important. Since he is thinking of obtaining the Heart of God through Shen Zhigui, what if he discovers the existence of Ah Zhen?

Moreover, he actually wanted to take revenge on her after stealing the Heart of God through Shen Zhigui. Although Lei Dianying, a otaku, didn't know why her creation had such a strong grudge against her, what could she do since things had come to this point?

Shen Zhigui just raised his Dream Heart and slashed it casually, but at this moment, those violent lightning elements separated in an instant like butter cut by a hot knife, and then the crack only widened, as if those lightning elements were a group of fish fighting against the plague of death, and after a while they withered and died.

"how come……"

The scattered soldier tried desperately to fill the gap and crack, but he soon realized that rather than saying that the "lightning elements" were fighting against the plague of death, it was more like the concept of the plague of death itself! So no matter how he mobilized the lightning elements to fill it, it would be completely eroded by that concept, causing him to lose control.

The only question is, how on earth was he able to navigate that area so easily?

Seeing the young man walking towards him with a sword in hand, Sanbing finally realized that the young man in front of him might not be bragging. He really faced the creator and almost defeated her with his own hands. For him, who always dared to openly declare his revenge only because he had the hope of obtaining the Heart of God, this was unimaginable no matter what.

He immediately recognized the situation.

Then he turned around and ran away.

Although this stone chamber is indeed sealed, it is a place he carefully selected, so he is very familiar with it and has left himself a secret passage. As long as he can delay his friend, he can leave here quickly. Then he can take revenge on his friend and pay for today's humiliation!

Chapter 9: After Drinking, I Went to the South City Terrace (Part 1)

But even if there was indeed a secret passage in this place, and even if Sanbing had indeed taken the lead and entered the secret passage, no matter how he created obstacles for Shen Zhigui, that young man was like using the dream in his hand to cut up a painting on paper, tearing the world apart at will. Often, Sanbing had to identify the direction in the secret passage while creating trouble for Shen Zhigui, trying to block the road behind him. But he was horrified to find that even in such a world full of physical obstacles, that young man could come and go freely and could easily lock onto his direction. So even if he really escaped from underground to the surface, he might not be able to escape, and it would not take long for that young man to catch up with him!

How on earth did he do it?

The scattered soldiers only saw him wave his hand casually again, and saw that the collapsed dust and gravel were neatly separated into two sides under the command of the personal sword of his creator, forming a wide road, and on both sides of the road, the two of them stood facing each other.

But this path is not stable.

The dust continued to fall gradually.

It was as if this place was going to be buried again in the next moment.

But Sanbing just turned his head and stood there without saying a word, then gathered his last bit of strength in his hands, even making his original body unable to bear it. He looked at Shen Zhigui coldly and said, "Come to think of it, you think you can defeat Baalzebub, right? Does this mean that if I defeat you here, then maybe I can go directly to her for revenge without having to seek the Heart of God?"

The lightning in his hand became brighter and brighter.

Shen Zhigui just sighed in boredom.

"What do you mean?"

Sanbing was constantly gathering the power that he had accumulated in his puppet's body. Although the way he wanted to release it at this moment was even too much for his body to bear, he knew very well that normal means could not overcome the barrier created by the boy with the concept of death, so he had to release his power in this way to have a chance. But when he heard the boy's pretended sigh, Sanbing asked while stalling for time.

"If you think that at that level of battle, the strength and weakness are obvious, because if you can beat me, you can definitely beat Baalzebub who almost lost to me, then it proves that you are not qualified to stand in front of her and take that blow." Shen Zhigui just flicked Mengxiang Yixin casually, causing the sword, which had been through thousands of years but still looked brand new, to emit a clear sword chant, and said, "It's just that it doesn't matter if I use it. After all, her so-called 'Unthinking Sword' is actually not that complicated."

In a sense, "the sword without thinking" is even in line with the martial arts philosophy of "coming like thunder and ending with wrath".

However, the scale of the thunder element that Lei Dianying has to control and the true Qi that Shen Zhigui has to control are almost worlds apart, so the difficulty of the two is incomparable. So even if Shen Zhigui understands the principle of her sword, in essence, there is no special reason why her sword can kill the giant snake and shoot the thunderbird. It is purely because she can control too many thunder elements. She has been honing her martial arts for thousands of years since her birth, and has trained the skills of using her elemental power most efficiently into instinct and engraved it in her memory and body. So in terms of the sophistication of her moves, she may not be much better than Shen Zhigui, but her speed and elemental power are first-class in the world.

After all, there are few skills in the world that are faster than instinct, and there are few elemental forces stronger than a Seventh Consul who can actually use force to help his sister win the Demon War.

So in essence, the reason why Shen Zhigui was able to suppress Lei Dianying that day was purely because Lei Dianzhen helped him to cut off Lei Dianying's control over the thunder element step by step. It was a move similar to the Han chess master Liu Qi who used the chessboard to hit people. Moreover, it was a move that could only be used when the time and place were right. After all, without Lei Dianzhen's understanding of the element system as a former god, he would not have been able to do that. And now, Shen Zhigui cannot use the same trick again, because Lei Dianzhen is not by his side after all.

Although the two can communicate with each other through dreams.

However, if the cloud service does not have sufficient bandwidth for data exchange, it obviously cannot complete the corresponding calculations.

"Is this Aying's test subject? How did he become like this? Aying, did you do anything to him?"

But at this time, Meng Xiangyi still felt Lei Dianzhen's thoughts communicating with Shen Zhigui.

Shen Zhigui thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he feels resentful because I didn't do anything for him, right?"

"Give birth but not raise it?"

Raiden seemed to be thinking about something.

"If your sister agrees with the description 'raw', I have nothing to say."

Shen Zhigui was just speaking casually.

"Then you must learn from this lesson in the future..."

Shen Zhigui almost couldn't breathe. "Not to mention whether your sister's body, which has been transformed into a mechanical puppet, can give birth to a child, and not to mention that it is unlikely that she and I will have that kind of relationship, why should I learn from it? In the final analysis, if a person can live forever, why would he create offspring for himself?"

Lei Dian really thought about it and said, "To not be so lonely? If possible, I actually want to see what your offspring will be like. If they can be as cute as Aying when he was a child, and as smart as you, wouldn't that be great? Then I can help you take care of the children."

"If you want a child so much, why don't you have one yourself? If you can't achieve immortality through martial arts, you probably want to leave a thought for your sister in this way, right?"

Shen Zhigui just said it casually.

Although he felt that with Raiden Zhen's talent and vision as a god, it was not that difficult to use martial arts to break through the barrier of life and death.

So this sentence is just a joke.

So after he said this, he looked at the puppet who was trying to condense his unprecedented attack. At this moment, most of the clothes and flesh-like creatures on the puppet's right hand had gradually collapsed under the shining of the sun-like lightning ball, and only a skeleton was left on the entire right hand. When the puppet saw him looking over, it sneered, then raised the lightning ball and smashed it towards him!

Chapter 10: After Drinking, I Went to the South Terrace (Part 2)

It must be said that even though Shen Zhigui had to rely on the help of Lei Dianzhen to win the battle against Lei Dianying, that was because Lei Dianying was, after all, the contemporary Thunder God and one of the seven rulers of the mortal world. Her control over the element of thunder had already reached a certain level. In other words, her algorithm - even if she didn't use the "Wuxiang Knife" - was much better than the other holders of the Eye of God. Perhaps it can also be said that the lowest level of authority in the elemental system lies in the hands of Heaven, who has "imitated his own heart as Heaven's heart", followed by the hands of the seven rulers of the mortal world, and then it may evolve into a concrete object - that is, the Heart of God, and finally it is just the holder of the Eye of God.

Of course, there are indeed methods in Teyvat that can control elemental forces without the Eye of God. Monsters such as the Hilichurls and Abyss Mages, and even elemental creatures can control elemental forces. Shen Zhigui is not sure whether Thunder Film has left a corresponding mechanism on this test subject. However, judging from the fact that Sanbing was able to release such a high level of thunder element even at the cost of leaving only a skeleton in his arm, Sanbing's authority may only exceed that of the holder of the Eye of God to some extent, but it is only a specific manifestation of the aspect of "destruction".

Because his "algorithm" is not systematic.

In fact, the more Shen Zhigui's martial arts improved, the more he observed the void of Teyvat, and even the more he came into contact with Lei Dianying, the more he realized that the higher the level of existence, the more in-depth the use of extraordinary elements such as elemental power will be, and even let the elements participate in their own life evolution, rather than just using elemental power as a tool like a weapon. Just as Shen Zhigui had thought before, nuclear-grade enriched uranium can certainly be cast into weapons like swords, but that is just a waste of resources. The accumulation of such a large amount as skirmishers can certainly be said to be extremely powerful, but -

Shen Zhigui still just casually swung a sword at the lightning ball that was hitting him from a distance. After a moment, those highly concentrated lightning elements flew away in all directions like birds that had their webs cut open and gained freedom. The light that burst out at that moment was purely light and did not cause any damage to the environment.

It seemed as if what was released from his body was just empty light.

Sanbing stared at the scene in a daze, until Shen Zhigui seemed to have crossed the void in an instant and pressed his dream against his neck, then he reacted.

"Do you have any last words for me to convey?"

Shen Zhigui thought about it and said.

"What's the name of your move?"

"The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind blows away the catkins."

Although strictly speaking, the core of this move is far from the original meaning of the forbidden martial arts book that the system taught to Shen Zhigui at the beginning, he imitated Lei Dianzhen to a large extent, but he did not have Lei Dianzhen's understanding of the element system. He could not do her "using the thin to enter the gap" to intervene in Lei Dianzhen's control of the elements like a butcher Ding. What he relied on was still his own true energy and martial arts, borrowing the idea of ​​"flowers fall and water flows", using true energy as "wind" to intervene in the reaction between elements, and even cut off others' control over the elements, so as to achieve "mountains and rivers are shattered."

Although the original intention of the martial arts given to him by the system was actually to perceive the specific and subtle movements of the outside world through perception, to achieve "the cicada knows the autumn wind before it blows", and then to integrate the perceived movements and float easily like "floating catkins" in the mountains and rivers that are about to break. Therefore, the original intention of this martial art is actually a passive light skill for dodging. At that time, Shen Zhigui already had the martial art of "Coming like thunder and ending with fury", so naturally he didn't care much about this martial art that was obtained through the recognition of Captain Qin.

Although maybe it does fit Captain Qin's mood.

Although Mondstadt has not reached the point where the mountains and rivers are shattered.

But her situation is actually similar to this poem.

Originally, Shen Zhigui had no interest in this martial art, but after observing the world through the perspectives of "Tongyou Mingtong" and "Yulei Floating Clouds Change Past and Present" recently, he found that the perception method of "Mountains and Rivers Broken and Wind Drifting Catkins" was unique, so he had some inspiration, so it was natural for him to transform this martial art, turning it from passive to active, and using the "dead energy" to isolate others from controlling the elements.

"The mountains and rivers are shattered... the wind is blowing catkins..."

The soldier repeated the poem again, and then he couldn't help thinking of the name he had given himself. So he looked up, looked into the dark eyes of the young man, and said, "Tell her that my name is Guobeng."

Shen Zhigui nodded.

When the scattered soldier saw that he seemed to be slacking off at this time, he immediately wanted to counterattack before his death, but was killed by the young man with a single sword.

Looking at the body of the puppet, Shen Zhigui felt that it was still not safe. Anyway, things had come to this point, and he had no scruples. He directly injected a stream of "death energy" into the puppet's body. Then after a moment, as if time was accelerating on his body, the body of his puppet, which was supposed to be eternal, gradually decayed, and turned into dust after a moment, and was buried here forever along with the collapsed underground cave.

Shen Zhigui opened a new passage before the collapse and left with Wendy.

As soon as he and Wendy went out, they saw Eula and Ying who were fighting with the Fatui.

Shen Zhigui and Wendy looked at each other, then each took out their weapons and defeated the Fatui.
