Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

On the same day, the senior brother was fishing in Aozang Mountain when he suddenly felt palpitations and a deep sense of loss lingering in his heart. He seemed to have lost something very important. What was it?

He didn't know, he was confused.

At this time, the "pop" sound was the sound of fish splashing in the water. A fish was hooked. The senior brother was in a daze and did not lift the fishing rod in time. The fish escaped and never came back.

"What have I lost?"

The senior brother asked himself over and over again that he had no intention of fishing anymore, so he went to read ancient books, but he had distracting thoughts and could not read anymore.

He went to practice Qigong, but he was always distracted during the practice and almost went crazy.

He went to sleep and as soon as he closed his eyes, he had a nightmare.

He simply did nothing and just stood there, thinking about nothing. He stood from dawn to dusk, from night to early morning. When the morning sun shone light on his senior brother, he felt cold all over his body and fell silently. Clear tears.

In fact, what he knew was that he was trying his best to deceive himself. He could no longer feel the presence of his junior brother, and he had lost the person closest to him in the world.

……

The senior brother came to Dihuazhou, and a young immortal guided him to the burial place of his junior brother. It was by the river, among the reeds, with a few sparse purple horsetail trees beside it. The scenery was very good.

The young immortal wanted to convey his junior brother's last words, but the senior brother shook his head and said that he did not need to know.

The young immortal thought that the senior brother would be very angry or sad, and planned to comfort him, but he did not do so. The senior brother continued to practice every day in Ogihuazhou as usual on Mount Aozang, fished in his free time, and occasionally opened the book Read ancient books carefully.

During this period, the senior brother also met a chef from Wangshu Inn. He knew that this chef used to be a member of the treasure thief group. Later, he was beaten up for robbing the current owner of Wangshu Inn, and then decided to It was quite an interesting experience to follow the boss to work as a chef at Wangshu Inn.

When the chef asked the senior brother about his past, the senior brother smiled slightly and kept silent, which made the chef angry for a while, but he was still happy to let the senior brother eat for free because he felt that the senior brother was definitely a strange person and worthy of close friendship.

Until one day, the senior brother looked at a dish on the table and asked the chef:

"what is this?"

"Bake tiger fish? Haven't you ever eaten it?"

The senior brother picked up a mouthful of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed for a long time and couldn't stop his tears from falling.

"Does what I cook taste so bad? It tastes so bad that I cry?"

"No, it's delicious. It's exactly the same as what my junior brother made for me back then."

"Senior brother?"

……

"Hey, where are you going?"

When the chef saw that his senior brother had not finished his meal, he walked out with his sword on his back.

"Practice the sword."

"Why are you practicing swordplay so late at night? Are you crazy?"

……

My senior brother has been practicing swordsmanship for three years. During this period, he even gave up his favorite fishing.

One of these days he spoke:

“Give me the recipe for chickpea pudding.”

"What's wrong? Aren't you practicing swordplay day and night? Why do you want the recipe?"

"I don't want to say it a second time."

"Okay, okay, here you go, do you still want to learn swordsmanship from the recipes? I think you are going crazy with swordsmanship."

The chef gave the recipe to the senior brother angrily, and the senior brother took it and left.

"You were fine at first, why do you suddenly seem like a different person?"

The chef wondered in his heart, shook his head, and continued cooking.

……

Chef was lucky enough to watch his senior swordsmanship once.

He has a tall and straight posture, and his eyes are deep and firm. In his hands, the sword dances like a stream of flowing light, as fast as lightning. Every swing of the sword is flawless. His movements are graceful and powerful, and the sword moves are continuous, and the sword moves contain the sharpness of the sword. meaning.

The sword intent radiated out was like a biting cold wind, sending chills all over the chef's body. The chef clearly felt that there was no barrier between his senior brother and the sword, as if the idea of ​​the sword in his hand was born in his heart.

The chef already knows that his senior brother's swordsmanship has reached a state of perfection.

……

"Where have you been these past few days? Why do you have the Eye of the Rock Elemental God on your body?"

"Haha, I went to Mount Ouzang. The Eye of God was dug out."

"Dig it out? I heard someone said that the emperor gave it to those who liked him? Then what are you going to do now with a jug of wine and a sword on your back?"

"Farewell to you, there is a possibility that we will never see each other again."

"What are you going to do? I'll go with you!"

"Haha, this is my own business. I want to find someone and seek justice."

The senior brother smiled softly and declined the chef.

"If I can come back, I mean just in case, remember to make me a grilled tiger fish to try."

"Of course! You will definitely come back! I will make it for you now, and you have to come back early to eat!"

The chef could tell from his words that his senior brother's trip would be unlucky, so he went out with tears in his eyes to say goodbye.

"It's time for you to go back. It's not good for the guests to be kept waiting."

The senior brother waved his hand, leaving the chef alone with his back.

……

It is late autumn, and Dihuazhou has become desolate.

The senior brother was walking on the road in thin clothes. Occasionally he saw some passers-by wearing thick clothes and walking quickly in the autumn wind with their heads lowered. But he walked leisurely, holding a wine bottle and raising his head to take a sip of wine from time to time.

Finally he came to the burial place of his junior brother, and drank less than half of the wine in the jug. He poured some wine on the ground and said softly:

"Junior brother, I respect you."

The sky was gloomy, but the rain never fell. The thick clouds were low, giving people a dull feeling. The gray sky is reflected on the clear water of the river, and several streams branch out from the source of the river bed. They are not rushing like summer, but flowing slowly.

Deep purple Dihua flowers bloom along the rivers, and the flowers often hang down like horsetails, so they are also called horsetails.

The Quesha trees that keep falling yellow leaves and the mottled grass make the entire Dihua Island look lonely and deserted. The autumn wind blows, making the entire Dihuazhou scenery seem as lifeless as an old man in his twilight years.

"Oh, it's time for some excitement."

The senior brother chuckled, "Kang!" There was a sound of the sword being pulled out of the scabbard.

The senior brother walked with his sword, and a green light flashed behind him and disappeared. When he saw his figure again, he had already arrived at the source of the Bishui River.

There was calmness between his brows, and he suddenly swung his sword.

He shouted in a low voice: "Open the river!"

The light of the sword was like lightning, the tip of the sword lightly touched the river water, and in the blink of an eye, the sword edge had swept across the river surface quickly.

He slashed out with his sword, and the sword energy was awe-inspiring. The river burst into flames, like a huge water curtain rising up. The monsters hidden in the reeds were shocked by the majestic sword energy, causing countless casualties! The entire Bishuiyuan also shook heavily, not to mention Dihuazhou, which was in the center of Bishuiyuan.

But the senior brother didn't want to stop, he wanted to continue swinging the sword until that person appeared!

……

"The Immortal Jinpeng, why did you summon us here in such a hurry?"

"He said he wanted to seek justice from one person."

At this time, the three-eyed and five-manifold immortals gathered in the sky above Dihua Continent. Mandrill pointed at the immortals to his senior brother who was swinging his sword on the ground and said.

"It's him?!"

"Zie Yue, do you know this human being?"

Lord Lishui Dieshan asked.

"Why doesn't he recognize it? He was the one who taught the technique to others in the first place."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun explained.

"Well, that's right. I thought they had a righteous heart and were willing to conquer demons, so I gave them the technique to practice Qi?"

"Them? It means there is another person. Where has that person gone? Is he the person he is looking for?"

Lord Lishui Dieshan asked in confusion.

"Haha, that shouldn't be the case, right?"

Zhen Yue Zhu Yang Zhenjun smiled and replied, he already knew who the senior brother was looking for.

"Now is not the time for joking! Let's figure out how to deal with it. Look at this human being. Can he be a person who has practiced your technique? I think he has become a sword immortal! Not counting the Jinpeng Immortal, the three of us estimate I can’t even beat him.”

Master Lishui Dieshan angrily pointed at his senior brother who was swinging his sword on the ground to open rivers and move mountains. Wherever he passed, not even a blade of grass grew.

"I don't know either. The skills I taught are still incomplete. You still need the Eye of God to activate the whole body's skills. I have never taught him swordsmanship. Maybe Liu Yun taught him."

Zhenyue Zhuyang Zhenjun touched his nose and started to throw the blame.

"Zie Yue! Don't talk nonsense! I'm going to teach him?! How can I, a bird who usually studies the art of traps, teach him swordsmanship?!"

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun said angrily, then paused and said clearly:

"Since it wasn't taught by me or the other two, it was probably Li Shui who taught him."

"what?!"

Lord Lishui Dieshan, who was about to eat the melon, looked confused.

……

"You all go back, he is looking for me."

"Yes! Emperor."

The immortals took the order and went back.

Liyue's god, Morax, walked slowly towards his senior brother with his hands behind his back in mid-air.

The senior brother also stopped swinging his sword, put it into its scabbard, then took out the wine bottle and started drinking heavily.

"What did you do?"

Morax's deep and steady voice sounded.

"Haha, hahaha!", the senior brother laughed wildly, wiped the corners of his mouth, wiped the spilled wine, then raised the wine bottle and shouted loudly:

"Dare you ask Emperor Yanwang!"

"Why is it that the laws of nature are so unkind that all things are treated like rotten dogs?"

"Why should a man with lofty ideals sacrifice his life to become a benevolent person?"

Morax shook his head calmly and said:

"Everything has a price, why should I answer your question?"

"Then I will make a contract with the emperor. If I can get the emperor to leave even half a minute, then please give me justice to my junior brother! Please help me fill up the wine bottle!"

"On the contrary, I am willing to die and die, as a payment for my nonsense today."

"Yes, the contract is completed."

……

The senior brother flew up into the air and looked at the emperor's level.

The strong wind blew the senior brother's clothes. He activated his God's Eye with all his strength, activated his skills, and concealed his whole body's true energy and sword intention on the sword in the scabbard. If the sword didn't come out, it would just scream.

"Qiang", the sword came out of its sheath and shot straight into the sky. The senior brother's lips moved and he said two words, "Luoxue."

The sword energy streaked across the sky, and the sky that was about to rain suddenly began to snow. The boundless snow was heavy with goose feathers.

It has snowed in Dihuazhou, which has never snowed for thousands of years.

The snow fell slowly and unstoppably, and the birds in the sky turned into blood when they touched the snow.

"Not bad," Morax clapped his hands and praised:

"You are the first person I have ever seen who does not use the attributes of God's Eye, but simply relies on it to provide himself with a steady stream of infuriating energy. In fact, God's Eye is also a kind of contract. The more a person relies on it, the more Be bound by it.”

When the snow was about to fall on Morax, he could feel how sharp and sharp the sword energy contained in the snow was.

He shook his head helplessly, opened his hands, and said:

"All in all."

As he spoke, the snow in the sky disappeared before it fell to the ground, and all the sword energy was absorbed by Morax's jade shield.

The senior brother was exhausted and fell from the air. When he was about to hit the ground, Morax caught him.

"I can answer your second question. Because people with lofty ideals have the spirit of sacrificing their lives for charity. Your junior brother is just such a lofty ideal. Are you thinking why I don't give your junior brother an Eye of God? But I want to tell you that God It’s not up to me who the Eye falls on.”

"As for the first question, I can't answer it because I signed a contract with a certain existence. Maybe someone will help you find the answer in the future."

Morax explained gently.

"So, did I do something wrong this time?"

The senior brother looked pale and looked at the emperor blankly.

"Whether it's right or wrong is up to you to decide. At least your sword practice is good and you can let me move a little bit."

……

"Jiang Xue? Jiang Xue! You are finally back..."

Yan Xiao hugged Jiang Xue excitedly and said in surprise.

"Ahem, you're about to strangle me to death, don't you look at your body shape."

"Haha, aren't I happy? Not long ago, when I was cooking, I felt like I was shaking... Forget it, don't worry about it. Say nothing more, try the roast I made. Tiger fish.”

……

"You're drunk after drinking. Where are you going?"

"fishing."

"Then be careful, don't get stabbed by a stickleback while fishing while drunk like before."

……

If one day, a traveler starts fishing and is lucky enough to catch a stickleback, he can check out the background story of this fish:

A fast and agile fish covered with spiny fins, its spear-like snout can even split the current when swimming at full speed. Therefore, it is also known as "splitting water thorn", "arrow is difficult to chase", etc.

The stingray is best known for its venomous spines. This neurotoxin is deadly to small prey, but it is powerless against large creatures. In most cases, it only causes confusion, hallucinations and other adverse symptoms.

"Fucking! Brother Yanwang! Give it to my brother!" - A certain Liyue fisherman who was accidentally stabbed.
