Reading poems from Teyvat

Ying and Paimon are strolling in Inazuma Castle.

From this perspective, if we ignore the issue of Ying's search for her blood relatives, she is indeed the kind of person who rarely considers where she will go. After all, even Paimon couldn't help but sigh after seeing the truth of the Mingyun Town case, but Ying rarely worries about such things. Since the gods of this country have not seen her brother, she will just go find the gods of the next country.

She is just that simple and straightforward.

So people with her personality can get along almost anywhere, not to mention that she is also a friend of Yae Shinko. Although that black-bellied pink-haired fox sometimes asks her to work for Yaedo, under the pretext of helping a friend, she is not unpaid, and she has met many people while working at Yaedo.

Although these people were of no use in helping her find her brother.

But Ying obviously would not maintain her interpersonal relationships as carefully as Shen Zhigui - although to be honest, if it were not for the system rewards, Shen Zhigui would probably not bother to make friends with anyone - she treated everyone equally and communicated in a friendly manner, so as time went by, her reputation quickly rose in Inazuma City. In addition, she was also very skilled. After all, she had traveled to three countries and touched three statues. After all, she was a person who could use three elemental powers. If others asked her for help, she would not refuse for the reward, so her reputation became better and better.

Yae Kamiko sometimes feels sad that if she had pulled Lei Dianying out of his pure land, he would never have become so unknown as the boy who just hid in that brothel and didn't know whether he was doing anything shameful with the sisters.

Although someone's reputation was already at its peak when he cleared out the Kairanki in Inazuma's territory.

But the rumor didn't mean he could get along well with the Inazuma people like Ying did.

After all, Shen Zhigui has that kind of personality. Although he seems easy-going on the surface, not everyone can tolerate his absent-minded attitude no matter what he says or does. People like Tian Shu who have a prejudice against him from the beginning think that his attitude is a little too arrogant.

Although Ying is dressed in strange clothes, a beautiful girl of this level can communicate with anyone in a friendly manner. What else do you have to complain about?

So Kamisato Ayaka was really curious about this foreign traveler who had become famous in Inazuma Castle, so she found an opportunity to approach this girl. After meeting Ying, she felt that this blonde girl was like a fantasy come true, because she had always wanted such a knowledgeable friend to satisfy her curiosity as a young lady. She even felt that her imaginary friend was like Ying.

So these two "girls" who looked similar in age quickly became good friends who could talk about anything.

Although Kamisato Ayaka's approach to her was a bit deliberate.

But Ying is obviously not someone who cares about these little things.

After the two became familiar with each other, Ying couldn't help but reveal her whereabouts and purpose, and described her past itinerary, satisfying the curiosity of Kamisato Ayaka, the White Egret Princess, about other countries. Although Ying concealed some secrets about the gods, she couldn't help but mention the existence of Shen Zhigui in her description. After all, no matter what, Shen Zhigui's presence inevitably played a guiding role in her journey, not to mention his recent legendary deeds of expelling the Fatui. Next, Shen Zhigui will take her to Xumi, and she is also ready to help Shen Zhigui deal with the doctor, so no matter what, she will not ignore Shen Zhigui's existence.

The more Kamisato Ayaka listened to Ying's description, the more she felt that the person she described overlapped with a memorable shadow in her memory:

And it also fits with the fact that he has a close personal relationship with the general!

So, the person she was talking about was indeed the person she thought he was?

Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but say in her heart.

Chapter 66: Heavy rain slants down the Xili Wall (Part 2)

Although it seems like this story happened a long time ago, it actually didn't happen that long ago. When the Shogun announced the "Confession of Sins", ended the isolation order and the eye-hunting order, and asked her to go to the emperor for an audience, Kamisato Ayaka actually had the opportunity to get close to Shen Zhigui and get a glimpse of what he looked like under his ever-changing mask, but in the end she chose to watch the young man sitting in Kinan Ryokan from afar and did not approach him rashly.

Even though this was not the first time they met.

But she didn't think the two of them could become friends at that time.

Because no matter how you look at it, although the young man at that time had hidden the sense of alienation that they had when they first met, and the whole person looked ordinary, his solitary demeanor and the deeds that, although not witnessed with his own eyes, did change the Shogun's attitude, all showed that the world he lived in was indeed too far away from Kamisato Ayaka. Although Kamisato Ayaka actually realized afterwards that he was not the Kairanki who escaped from someone's sword, but he was the someone who wiped out the Kairanki, so when they first met, he brought with him that majestic and irrepressible murderous aura.

So after he left Inazuma, although some people later became Umiranki, the corresponding legend disappeared and never appeared again.

Therefore, when she realized that the Shen Zhigui mentioned by Ying might be the young man she had seen at the festival before and who might have changed Inazuma's current situation single-handedly, she deliberately asked about the young man's past. Ying did not think there was anything wrong with it, because based on the deeds he had done since she knew him, Shen Zhigui was definitely a legend, and it was inevitable that Kamisato Ayaka would be curious about him.

Although Ying couldn't say that she really knew that much about the boy's past.

Ying only vaguely knew that Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt, had a very good personal relationship with him, and that the Knights of Favonius had a complicated attitude towards him. He seemed to have done something in Mondstadt before expelling the Fatui, but he himself did not care, so he did not say much. He was even more at ease in Liyue, as if he was originally a Liyue person, and worshipped Master Liuyun Jiefeng as his master. He seemed to have a very deep emotional entanglement with the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortal disciple. At present, he seemed to have declared that he wanted three wives and four concubines and did not want to let go of either of them. He also had a personal relationship with the Rock King Emperor, and he seemed to have some agreement with the Rock God, so both sides had been busy preparing for something...

As for him in Inazuma, Ying only knew that he had a good relationship with the Thunder God sisters and Yae God Child.

Perhaps Kamisato Ayaka has more say on this point.

Although it was just her personal conjecture.

However, at this time, Kamisato Ayaka felt that she could understand the boy's true face through Ying, including his past, purpose and temperament.

It's not that Kamisato Ayaka has any good feelings towards that man, but she is indeed curious about the young man who bullied her with his sword power at the festival, teased her and then ignored her, but finally chose to face the Shogun's "Unthinking Sword" alone. At this time, she just wants to get a truth that can calm her down. Although it is indeed an oversight to explore the privacy of the Shogun, the General's sister has no intention of pursuing it, right?

Not to mention that they approached the traveler.

So she wanted to invite Shen Zhigui to the Mulou Teahouse through the traveler.

Of course Ying had no reason to refuse.

But to be honest, she only had the contact information of Yaezakami, and this method was even through Yaezakami-do. She and Shen Zhigui had no means of contact in Inazuma, so at this time she wanted to directly contact a young man who had been missing for some time, either through the castle tower or through Yaezakami-do. Although Ying did not have any ulterior motives, she thought that she invited Shen Zhigui just to let him get to know Kamisato Ayaka, so passing the message through the castle tower was a bit too formal, so she chose to find someone through Yaezakami-do. However, Yaezakami-do took the opportunity to blackmail her and asked her to work for Yaezakami-do for a few days before agreeing to pass the message.

Ying naturally agreed.

That's why Yae Shinto chose to visit that villa.

Although to be honest, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine was also very curious about the status of these three people who hid in the villa after handling government affairs and didn't know what they were doing. After all, she was still a shrine maiden, and the essence of a shrine maiden was to communicate with gods, not to mention that she was also a follower of the Thunder God, so it was her duty to care about the status of Thunder God. Although she could not say that she had any respect for Thunder God himself, it was probably because she was too close to Thunder God and could clearly see the various shortcomings of Thunder God as a god. She also knew that apart from her unparalleled martial arts, she was just a slightly clumsy and inflexible country girl who would hide in her own world most of the time.

So her desire to become Inazuma's general may not be a joke.

But there are better candidates now.

Although she was not optimistic that Lei Dianzai would change under the guidance of Lei Dianzhen.

Although she did love her sister.

But to be honest, she had only become depressed because of Ah Zhen's death. Although she has now walked out of a pure land, she only wanted to relive the old days because the young man claimed that he could resurrect Ah Zhen. Once Ah Zhen is unable to cross the chasm of life and death and leaves again, she may return to her old ways. If she is to truly take on the responsibility of leading Inazuma, the only way for her to truly take on the responsibility of leading Inazuma is for the young man, who is also a warrior, to continue to duel with her and win the battle. This can truly wake her up and stop her from continuing to go crazy and immerse herself in her own world.

Although if such a thing really happens, it will take a hundred years to tell.

Until then, let Aying continue to indulge in sweet dreams.

Although if possible, Yae Kamiko also hopes that her friend can continue like this forever, and does not have to force herself to take on responsibilities that are not suitable for her.

But whether it can really be achieved depends on what the young man does.

But until now, Yae Shen Zi, who claimed to be able to see through the world to a certain extent, could not see it more clearly. Although she might have known Shen Zhigui earlier than Lei Dianzhen and Lei Dianying, no matter how you look at it, his relationship with the two sisters is better than his relationship with her. Although it is also possible that, as he said during the duel with Lei Dianying, his own soul, after his martial arts approached the realm of gods, its structure inevitably tended towards gods, and thus he could get along better with current gods like Lei Dianying and former gods like Lei Dianzhen?

Chapter 67: The mountains and trees block the view for a thousand miles (Part 1)

With these strange thoughts in mind, Yae Shinto walked into the courtyard, but heard a clear flute sound.

For a person like Yae Shenzi who was hundreds of years old and had seen many things and people, although the sound of the flute sounded pleasant, it did not seem too amazing. At least some of the details were not perfect and needed to be discussed. She stopped and paused for a moment, and finally continued to move forward. However, she only saw the figure of the young man sitting on the roof, his clothes fluttering in the autumn sea breeze. In the courtyard, Lei Dianzhen and Lei Dianying were facing each other with swords in their hands.

No matter what the Buddha said, Lei Dianzhen's martial arts were actually far inferior to Lei Dianying's, but at the moment, Lei Dianying's expression became serious, while Lei Dianzhen's expression was somewhat relaxed.

what is this?

A remake of the previous confrontation?

But at that time, wasn't it that Lei Dian really reduced and suppressed Lei Dianying in the metaphysical field of power, and Shen Zhigui suppressed Lei Dianying in the physical field of martial arts?

This is the other way around...?

Yae Shenzi observed quietly for a moment, and then she couldn't help but realize that the more she immersed herself in the sound of the flute, the more the thunder element in her body fluctuated. This fluctuation was even more like her natural control of her breathing, close to her instinct. She wanted to break free of this state by her own will, but she was sinking deeper and deeper into the surround of the flute sound. She was like a lone boat drifting in a boundless ocean, allowing herself to be drowned by those indulgent thoughts, unable to control her own direction.

What is this...

Yae Shinko looked at the young man sitting on the roof. She never thought that someone could do such a thing.

It's even stranger than witchcraft.

Although the monster's magic looks weird, the principle is nothing more than the activities of the ghosts' souls in the dimension that ordinary people cannot see. But this boy can control the listener's thoughts with music alone, to such a delicate and subtle level. No wonder Ah Ying feels so worried. Maybe she feels that her hands don't listen to her commands and her feet are not under her control. That's why she finds it difficult to deal with Ah Zhen, who should be easily controlled?

Yae Shinko stood aside, no longer trying to resist the flute sound, but letting her own thunder element rise and fall with it. Even though she was standing next to her, the state of Thunder God, who was deliberately targeted by the flute sound, was even more mired in the quagmire. Although she was actually the God of Thunder, and no one in the world could match her in controlling the thunder element, so she should be able to control the thunder element with ease, but what if she was the one controlling the thunder element?

She felt like she was walking in a quagmire. The chaotic, constantly popping up thoughts were like disgusting mud that kept clinging to her feet. She wanted to calm her mind, but the sound of the boy's flute followed her like a shadow, as if it had directly invaded her consciousness, constantly stirring up the messy thoughts in her heart: his and Ah Zhen's offspring, his tacit understanding with her, his complementarity with Ah Zhen, his and Ah Zhen's shared memories...

These confused thoughts even caused the lightning element in her body to overflow and diffuse around her, while Lei Dianzhen, who was standing opposite her, could concentrate on holding the sword and facing her.

So Yae Shinko could see that one of them wielded the katana smoothly, his posture was as graceful as a mountain stream flowing down the mountain, while the other one was stiff like a puppet controlled by silk strings on the stage, and could only barely parry and deal with the attack from the other side like an antelope hanging on a horn. Soon, she saw that the current Thunder God was at a loss under the attack of the former Thunder God, and even gradually lost his strength -

How can this be?

Yae Shinko looked at this scene in disbelief.

Although she knew that this young man's martial arts were beyond common sense, it was a little too shocking.

How on earth did he do it?

Could it be that the immortals in Liyue have made some breakthrough in the use of their immortal power?

As the fairy fox, Yae Shinko is even a little eager to make a move:

In a sense, she is also an immortal. If this kind of skill can be learned, doesn't it mean that Lei Dianping will be at her disposal in the future, and she can sit on the position of general as she wishes?

After the competition was over, the boy jumped down from the roof. Before Yaezamiko could say anything, Raiden really ran over and hugged the boy in joy. Yaezamiko was stunned:

Although she knew Ah Zhen had a good personality, she wasn't really that lively, right? Was it because she had always been suppressed by her sister in martial arts and finally got some relief today with the help of others, or was it because the relationship between the two of them had actually reached a certain point, so it was natural for them to hug each other now?

But this scene seems a bit cruel to Aying, right?

Yae Shinko couldn't help but look at the loser who was so obsessed with his sister that he couldn't accept the death of his sister and locked himself in a pure land. At this time, she also glared at him, obviously dissatisfied that her ugly appearance of defeat was actually seen by this friend who always liked to laugh at her: "Shinko, what are you doing here?"

"Of course it's to enjoy the scene in front of me."

Yae Shinko sneered and said.

"Humph!"

Lei Dianying is still Lei Dianying after all. She is not someone who cannot afford to lose, although she is still frightened of her previous state. Because if the previous fight between Lei Dian and Zhen Zhen in the metaphysical field of power in Yi Xin Pure Land was just a web for her, then in this duel she felt that she was not her own master at all, as if there was another self in her soul who was ready to jump out at any time to compete with her for the dominance of the body. Could it be that the problem of General Lei Dian has not been completely solved?

But she had indeed dueled with the created "self" in the consciousness space for hundreds of years before she regained control of this body. General Lei Dian's consciousness should have completely obeyed her and given up control of this body.

But if that is not the case, how do we explain this scene?

Lei Yingying looked at the boy who was hugging her sister. She waited for her sister to calm down. The blush on her face gradually faded and she stood aside. She was about to ask something, but she heard Yae Shenzi asking him a question first: "You have already achieved this, and you have created a martial art that can be called shocking. You have even won Ah Zhen's heart. You don't seem very happy?"

Chapter 68: The heavy trees on the mountain block the view from a thousand miles away (Part 2)

"Let's not talk about the latter, the former is no big deal either."

Shen Zhigui just said it casually.

As soon as Shen Zhigui finished speaking, both Yae Shenzi and Lei Dianying widened their eyes:

What do you mean it's no big deal?

Has this guy become so arrogant now?

But Shen Zhigui just shook his head: "In fact, you have seen the duel between me and her in the Pure Land before. This duel is just a continuation of the last duel. Of course, if I had to transform my soul in the last duel before I could keep up with her speed, then now it is just because I have more convenient and more comprehensive tools at the physical level to directly affect her state of mind, instead of having to influence her through the collision between the swords like before, making it impossible for her to use the sword of no thought."

"The more useful tool you mentioned is music?"

Yae Shinko put her hand on her chin and asked.

Shen Zhigui thought for a moment and said, "I can't do that with music alone, and this time I actually took the initiative. If she had been prepared in advance and cut off the interference of hearing when she heard the music, then I would not be able to continue to affect her through the conversion of true energy and soul. So, this is just a little trick that no one expected."

Of course it is enough to be used to ambush people.

If his previous use of "Flowers Fall and Water Flows" was to look down on the weak and bully those who were originally inferior to him in consciousness to cause conflicts in emotion and rationality, thereby fully manipulating the emotions and memories of others, then his understanding of martial arts now allows him to do this, just like opening a gap in the river bank and then continuing to expand the gap. Now he can affect the state of others even in battle. However, this martial art is most suitable for dealing with warriors like Inazuma who follow Lei Dianying's concept of "no thoughts and no ideas", because even Lei Dianying needs some lead time to enter that state, let alone others.

And if Shen Zhigui used this trick to deal with the doctor, he could also let other slices temporarily take charge of the body that was fighting against Shen Zhigui without being restricted by this.

In fact, if Lei Dianying had reacted faster, he would have been able to get rid of the interference.

It's just that she obviously has too many distracting thoughts recently.

Yae Shenzi thought carefully for a moment, then looked at her friend again, and Lei Dianying just nodded thoughtfully. It was obvious that he had already begun to build his own "fortifications" in the field of consciousness to cut off the influence at the first time, so she didn't think about it anymore, but still couldn't help but teasing:

"Is it really okay for you to show your cards to Ah Ying like this? If she wants to domestic abuse you in the future, won't you lose a trump card to resist?"

Shen Zhigui just sighed:

"I've already said that this is just a trick to seize the initiative. To seize the initiative, one must act with intent and without intent. No one can say that they can always be one step ahead of others. In this case, this is certainly not a trump card. The so-called trump card should be something that can be turned over and used to allow others to catch up. To achieve this, we need to establish a more complete system."

"So you are helping Aying find the flaws in her system?"

Yae Shinko asked.

Although she felt that her friend's martial arts were strong enough to allow her to reach a higher level, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if she fell into her previous state again in the future?

But now that he can do that, he has obviously gained Aying's recognition.

But this doesn't mean anything.

Because even if she was still alive, Aying would still stubbornly walk into the pure land of one's heart.

Shen Zhigui just raised his eyebrows: "It's just a discussion."

If someone else said this, Yae Shenzi would probably think that person was talking nonsense, because being able to do this just by sparring meant that his vision in martial arts was almost on par with Lei Dianying, or even better. But looking back on his deeds, Yae Shenzi couldn't deny that this young man was indeed a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent, with all kinds of methods emerging one after another, and he could even tie with Lei Dianying without even going through her preparatory plan. If he were to fight against Aying alone...

"Does your martial arts have to be performed through the flute?"

"Without the flute, I can't perform martial arts? How can martial arts be so inconvenient?"

Shen Zhigui said immediately.

In other words, if he really wanted to seize the initiative, he would probably have surpassed Aying right now?
