Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

Lin Zixuan stroked the ruins. Everything has a cause and an effect. Judging the needs of the devil with human eyes, wrong judgment led to tragedy.

These reasons seem ridiculous now, but in that era, people revered the power of heaven and earth, worshipped and believed in the devil, and survived in the cracks. Sacrifice was also a way of survival.

Chapter 83 Wuwangpo

"After sleeping for an afternoon, now you feel refreshed, right?" Lin Zixuan rubbed Hu Tao's little head and handed her hat.

"Yes, I'm fully recovered!" Walnut took the hat and put it on.

It was really hard for her. I'm afraid she was busy with Mr. Hu's funeral these days. Not only did she have to keep vigil in person, but many relatives and friends came to her home to pay their respects. After the ceremony was over, she hurriedly packed up her things and came to my place.

"There is no cement road from here on, we can only go in along these mountain roads."

"I have a map here!" Hu Tao took out an old map from his backpack. There were various lines drawn on it that roughly indicated directions.

"There's no need for a map. I just sensed the surrounding trees and they've already told me where I am. If we walk in a straight line, it'll take about four hours. If we follow the map, it'll take about two days."

"Is that so? Let's go!"

"Wait, although you have recovered some of your energy, you haven't eaten well in the past few days, right? Your strength has not yet recovered, so eat dinner before you set off! Otherwise, you may run out of energy halfway up the mountain and fall down. That will be troublesome."

"Oh..." Walnut, who was about to leave, had to stop.

Take out the table, chairs, ingredients, pots and pans from the space ring...

Hu Tao looked at Lin Zixuan's actions with shock.

"Have you brought all your belongings with you? How big is your space ring?"

"You should have heard of the outer world, right? Some immortals have the talent for space, and can use special materials to create a small world. I asked an immortal to make this space ring for me. I usually bring these common tools and 50 years' worth of food."

"It's a small world! Also, will you really be able to use all the food you brought?"

"Of course I can use it. It's very dangerous to go out. I have prepared three of each tool, one for use, one for backup, and one for backup. I should prepare food even more. What if one day I am trapped in a secret place and can't get out? I won't die just by relying on the elements in my body to circulate, but I will still starve!"

"I think you are simply afraid of being sealed."

"If you were kept lying at the Liyue Harbor Bus Terminal for a year without being allowed to stand up, I think you would be scared too."

"..."

Scrape the scales and remove the internal organs of the blackback sea bass, split it in half, cut off the fish bones in the middle, and then cut the remaining fish meat into slices. Add salt, glass bag powder, and egg white to the sliced ​​fish, stir well, then add starch, stir well, and marinate the fish slices...

Hu Tao looked at Lin Zixuan's skilled movements and couldn't help but feel envious. She almost never succeeded in cooking and always made some 'weird' dishes.

After a while, a dish of boiled blackback seabass and fried river fish was served.

"Come and try my cooking skills. Here are some vegetarian dishes that you should like."

"How do you know I like these dishes? Are you following me?"

"I know a lot about Liyue. Because you...are also someone that the gods are watching."

"Really? Can I get the Eye of God, too? Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Xinyan all have the Eye of God, and I envy them so much. But Grandpa won't let me take the medicinal bath and won't tell me why."

"He must have his own plans, because once he gets the Eye of God, he will have to take on a new contract, which may be too much for him to bear."

"As mysterious as Zhongli. Grandpa said you are a reborn person who experienced the Great Terror. Can people really be reborn? What is the Great Terror like?"

"Really? Your grandfather actually said that! It seems that this trip to the 'border' is also a test for me. Come, eat, eat."

"You haven't answered me yet!"

"secret!"

......

The lively and clever Hu Tao made the dinner lively. After the meal, Lin Zixuan helped her pack her big bag and added some emergency items.

"I can't tell what kind of danger there will be in these special places. Even holding hands is not safe. This seed is a positioning device, you wear it. If you encounter danger, crush it. It can send me the location and continue to restore your physical strength. There are also these two shield boxes, you tie them to your legs, if you encounter danger, they will automatically help you block, you have to react in time to avoid it. It means to block, not to block, don't remember it wrong. And..."

"Okay, I get it. You're really like my grandpa, always nagging. Every time I go out, he's like this..." Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Hu Tao's eyes, and then she squatted on the ground and started crying.

Lin Zixuan's forehead was already full of the shape of a well, but when he saw her like this, he sighed and had no choice but to comfort her.

This is also the norm in life. People often say, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop." However, there is a forgotten second half of this sentence, "A son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there."

Filial piety should be practiced in time, while parents are still alive, rather than waiting until the day they pass away. Only when the loved ones are truly gone do people realize that they still have a lot of things to say to the deceased, and they regret not having fulfilled their filial piety for a single day.

Hu Tao, who is a playful and eccentric person, usually doesn't notice the love and care from Mr. Hu. She must be very regretful for wanting to go to the "border" this time! This is also a baptism for her character. Unfortunately, it's too late.

In fact, even if there were no traps inside, they would have used special means to separate from her. After all, I also have my own secrets, and if I saw them at the 'border', I really didn't know what to do.

The two followed the mountain road to the halfway point.

There are also a large number of house ruins here. Compared with the broken walls and ruins at the foot of the mountain, the houses here seem to have been abandoned in the last hundred years or so, and some of the houses even look not very old.

Along the way, we saw many dragon-shaped statues of the Rock King Emperor standing nearby. Although the Chi Beast is not called a demon god, it has the strength of an ordinary demon god. Once it dies completely, it will definitely pollute the land. After sealing the Chi Beast, in order to prevent the pollution caused by its death, the Rock King Emperor built countless dragon-shaped statues to suppress the area.

Although the Chi Beast was sealed, its resentment still affected the area. As time went by, the seal weakened. Wuwangpo, which was originally full of yin energy and full of strange stories and legends, began to gradually erode the surrounding environment.

The first to be hit was this small town halfway up the mountain. A large number of young people jumped into the river and died, causing panic in the town.

The Qianyan Army searched for a long time but could not find the reason. Those who knew the reason could not solve it. The resentment of the demon god was not so easy to solve. In these years, except for the summoning of the immortal ceremony to summon the Rock King Emperor, the Emperor could not be found at all. Qixing could only evacuate everyone in the town to Qingce Village.

Only some stubborn old people did not want to leave the place where they had lived for many years. Until finally, as the old people of Wuwangpo passed away one after another, Wuwangpo became a silent ghost village.

Many years later, it became a fable sung by the children in Qingce Village: the young people of Wuwangpo were seduced by the whale song of the distant sea monster, and following the illusory promises and childish dreams, they threw themselves into the calm water of the Bishui River, letting the drifting waves push them to the distant Yunlai Sea, where they merged with the countless waves in the sea, losing all memories of the mountains, forests and villages... and their dreams also became the songs of the sea monster.

Lin Zixuan walked in this dilapidated town, carefully feeling everything in the town until he discovered a weak water element. It was so weak that it would be easily missed if one was not careful.

Ordinary people will not be affected if they stay here for three to five days, but if they stay here for a long time, they may be entangled by the water element and tempted by the sea monster whale song.

Arriving at the highest point of the town, there are two stone lion-shaped statues at the door of a collapsed building, or they are called stone beasts. They used to be fairy beasts that followed the Rock King. After the Demon God War, some nostalgic fairy beasts missed the time they followed the Rock King.

Although they are called immortal beasts, their lifespan is limited. Therefore, they voluntarily transformed their bodies into eternal rocks to protect Liyue forever. Lin Zixuan touched them and said, "You have worked so hard. Thank you for protecting Liyue."

Standing on the steps, with your back to the building, looking up at the sky. The Sky Island is clearly visible, even clearer than anywhere else in Liyue, as if the filter has been wiped off. This building facing the Sky Island is guarded by a stone beast, and it may hide some secrets. Wait for the travelers who appear in a few years to unravel this secret.

"Why are you so interested in these junk?" Walnut asked curiously.

"Because these things record a period of history, a lot of history has been gradually lost in the long river of time."

"Is it something like an epitaph?"

"Almost the same, except that one is the history of an individual, and I want to know the history of a civilization."

"It seems that knowing it is useless. After all, it has been so long."

"You are wrong! The most important meaning of history is inheritance, which provides reference for future generations. By looking at the long river of history, from the beginning of the Demon God War, the establishment of the Seven Gods, the succession of the Seven Stars, the rise and fall of the family, the honor and disgrace of individuals, etc., we can summarize rich and profound lessons, so as to admonish and inspire ourselves.

The development of everything in this world follows certain regularities, and by observing history we can glimpse the truth of this world.

You know that Liyue has a history of 3700 years. The cultural heritage is so profound because Liyue has been recording history. Your Wangsheng Hall has even been passed down for generations, and my family is already the th generation. This is historical inheritance.

In the process of inheritance, we take the essence and discard the dross, which is what we do now. And what we do is also providing experience and lessons for future generations.

Thousands of years ago, a young man, with feathers all over his body, jumped down from Tianheng Mountain.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a young man who made a huge kite and jumped off the Tianheng Mountain.

A hundred years ago, there was also a young man who tied hundreds of fireworks to a chair, sat on it, lit the fireworks, and flew himself into the sky.

Decades ago, there was also a young man who tied dozens of sky lanterns to his body and also flew into the sky.

They seemed out of tune, and they died miserably. But have you noticed? After people absorbed historical experience, they were making progress. Today, the airplane you want to take is the product of the historical experience of these ancestors. The train you take also evolved from the rail mining car.

Therefore, history plays an important role in the development of Liyue."

"Oh, so that's how it is. There are indeed quite a few history books in the Hall of Rebirth. And my grandfather forced me to study them."

"Let's go! To the 'border'."

Chapter 84 "Border"

After a 4-hour journey, the moon was already hanging high above our heads.

Lin Zixuan and Hu Tao came to the depths of Wuwang Slope. It was a desolate place with dim light. There was a blue fire floating in the woods, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. An ordinary person would probably be scared to death when they came here. Hu Tao, who was standing by, was very interested in this phenomenon.

The two came to a huge rock.

"The aura of the earth veins here is the strongest, and there are traces of magic. This should be the 'border' sealed by the Rebirth Hall. You should have the magic to remove the seal, right?"

"Yeah, my grandfather taught me."

"Then come on! I won't break the seal."

Watching Hu Tao seriously removing the seal, a cave leading to the bottom was revealed. The two walked down the stone stairs for a long time. The moment they reached the bottom, Lin Zixuan suddenly felt something.

"The space in this secret realm seems a bit chaotic." Lin Zixuan sensed that the ground veins here were abnormally disordered. These ancient buildings forcibly opened up a slightly more stable place here, but they were still affected by the ground veins.

Who built these buildings? The ground veins, the residual memory, it seems that the sacred cherry tree also has this function. There is still too little known information, the emperor is unwilling to say, and the old immortals are also tight-lipped. Let's wait for the traveler to appear, he/she should be able to explore more secrets.

"Well, grandpa said that this place is very close to death and we can't stay here for too long. Here we are." Walnut unlocked the seal of the last door.

A small waterfall was flowing down from the opposite wall. A huge deep pit with no bottom visible appeared in front of them, shrouded by the water vapor of the waterfall. Although the bottom of the deep pit was invisible, it was very bright and there seemed to be light.

“It seems there is no way out.”

"The records in the Hall of Rebirth say that you need to jump down. There is a pool of water below."

"To jump from such a high place, do you have Mond's Wind Wings?"

"No."

"Neither do I. This is a deep pit with no bottom in sight. I don't know what's underneath. What if I jump in foolishly and run into danger?"

"Now that I'm here, I must go down." After saying that, Hu Tao jumped up and was then picked up back by Lin Zixuan.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's such a deep pit, it will take you a long time to climb out. Wait a moment, Wood Release: Spiral Staircase." A wooden ladder with a guardrail spiraling down appeared in front of Walnut.

"Great, let's go!" Hu Tao rushed straight down.

Lin Zixuan watched Hu Tao rushing down. Was her eagerness to see her grandfather taking over her heart? Although he already knew the final result, he decided not to influence her.

I walked up the spiral staircase, but stopped after only a few steps. I put my trembling hands in front of me. What am I doing? Am I afraid? I am already an immortal, but I am actually afraid, afraid of seeing them.

He took possession of Lin Zixuan's body as a matter of course, used Lin Zixuan's wealth as a matter of course, and treated Lin Zixuan's parents as his own parents as a matter of course.

Even if the appearance is the same, the name is the same, the family relationship is the same, but the inner soul is different! .

The last of the three books in the legacy is the "Record of Soul Continuation Method". The former infrastructure maniac Lin Sen Sen discussed with the immortals how to activate their own immortal bloodline and the record of the "suicide" of hundreds of generations.

Yes, no one in this family of immortal descendants died of old age. The average age was around 45. When the next generation of descendants grew up, their fathers either died of suicide or died in various accidents.

The first page of the book contains three ancestral teachings:

1. Descendants who have no offspring to carry on the family line should not attempt to continue the soul.

2. The thousand acres of fairyland cannot be sold.

3. If your bloodline is not open, you cannot be an official.

There is also a line of small words: "Qilin and Deer are my best friends. If you encounter life-threatening situations, you can seek their help."

That infrastructure maniac has seen it very clearly. There will definitely be many people in the future who want to open the immortal bloodline and kill themselves. Let them have children before committing suicide, which can ensure the continuation of the bloodline.

The thousand acres of fairy fields also guarantee the survival of future generations, at least they won’t live too miserably.

As for not being able to be an official, he was probably afraid of some officialdom struggles, which were much more dangerous than business struggles. It was common in his time for the whole family to be executed if they failed in officialdom struggles.

There was only one sentence written on the second page of the book: The soul must disappear once and then be renewed before the bloodline can be activated.

This page of paper is more yellow and black than other pages. It should be that the previous dozen generations lit candles every night and looked at this page to think about the method of soul continuation.

From the third page, there is a record of the suicides of the 100 generations. The ancestors tortured themselves in various strange ways.

For example, the 30th generation ancestor used magic weapons and secret methods to guide a powerful evil spirit into his body. As a result, the evil spirit wandered outside the body for a long time and did not enter the ancestor's body.

The ancestor asked: "I gave you the best body of a descendant of an immortal, but you don't want it?"

Evil spirit: "This is not the body of an ordinary immortal descendant. I will never go in there even if I kill myself!"

The ancestor was furious, and used the magic weapon of the immortal to force the two to merge into one, resulting in both of them being killed.

The 44th ancestor, whose wife passed away, was extremely grief-stricken, so he used the soul-replacing method he had found to let his wife's soul replace his own.

As a result, not only did the ancestor's soul not leave, but his wife's soul also emerged, so that two souls shared one body. This should have been a cause for celebration.

However, they did not love each other as much as they imagined. In their minds, they had a big quarrel every three hours, a small quarrel every two hours, and finally they hit their heads against the pillar and died.

As for the ancestor who ate the Dharma body left by Tongque, I won't talk about it. There are also those who took the empty shell of the Eye of God orally, ate the statue of the Emperor, and investigated the ancient foreign objects to try...

It’s no wonder that they are going through so much trouble. The road to immortality before them is so close to them that it seems they can touch it with their hands.
