Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated
Chapter 54: Storytellers in Ancient Times
"What trump card do you have?" Marcosius racked his brains but couldn't think of one.
"Of course it's Liuyun's mechanical arts, Ah Ping's piano playing, and the Emperor's confusion. With these three together, I should be invincible."
"Besides, Guizhong is my sister, so she can't possibly help you. I have had the advantage in this contest from the beginning. Marcosius, you lose!"
Returning to the familiar environment and meeting familiar people, Mo Ran naturally relaxed a lot, and his words and behavior were much more casual than usual.
True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang smiled and said, "The Kitchen God and Mo Ran still like to bicker and give up the position of chef to each other as before!"
Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun raised his head and took over the conversation, "This seems to be not bad. Listening to random interesting stories, drinking some wine, and eating some delicious food, it's really fun."
The mentioned Master Liuyun Jiefeng snorted and said, "Who do you think I am to you? Can I be used at any time?"
Mo Ran held a fairy talisman between his fingers and said, "I learned your fairy magic and passed it down to you. We can be considered to have a close relationship, right?"
Master Liuyunjiefeng thought that there seemed to be some truth in it, but he said nothing, leaving only a beautiful picture of a crane standing alone and staring blankly.
"Besides, Ping, we are music friends, and that cannot be refuted, so I win, and the meal is up to you, Marcosius, to cook."
"Damned connections!" Marcosius put his hands on his waist and cooked in silence.
Mo Ran swallowed the barbecue with a smile and praised: "The Kitchen God is worthy of being the Kitchen God. This kind of cooking skill is beyond the reach of ordinary people, haha."
"You!" Gui Zhong tapped Mo Ran's head with her slender jade fingers. She had a pretty face and gray hair like dust.
The immortals feasted their food, and Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun was slightly tipsy. He pulled A Yuan over and said, "It's time to give you a immortal name."
"Ever since the Demon God War, the sky has been filled with smoke and gray. I haven't seen a clear sky in a long time."
"Well... from now on, you can be called Master Xiaohong Jiyu! I hope the war between demons and gods can end soon. I hope the sky will clear soon."
…………
After the banquet, the immortals returned to their caves or went out to experience the world.
Mo Ran was pulled by his elder sister Gui Zhong to sit under a tree, on which hung several heavy, red with yellow fruits.
The brother and sister sat side by side, one had a face as beautiful as a painting, dressed in white, and the other had an ordinary appearance, dressed in black as dark as the night.
"It's been a long time since we sat together and chatted like this. The last time was probably before the Demon War began, right?" There was a hint of reminiscence in Gui Zhong's eyes.
Mo Ran fell into memories. Thinking back to when he was sent to this world in the past, he seemed to have some expectations in his heart. Then he got used to it and communicated with the characters who were separated from him by a screen. He gained a lot of insights and experiences.
'How long has it been? It seems like hundreds of years, or a thousand years?' Mo Ran thought back, but he couldn't determine the exact time.
The depression in his heart turned into a sigh. Mo Ran looked up at the still gray sky and muttered to himself: "I hope the Demon God War will end soon!"
"Yes." Gui Zhong also looked at the sky, but what he saw was the sky, and no one knew who he was thinking about in his heart.
"So you are here." Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun came stepping into the void. The slight drunkenness on his face had disappeared. He now had black hair and a black dress, looking heroic.
"Aping? Are you here to check my music theory?" Mo Ran tilted his head, and a few strands of hair fell on his shoulders. Although his face was ordinary, his whole temperament was acceptable.
"Am I that boring?" Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun hugged the pair of heavy jade peaks with both hands and added: "Besides, it's not the right time to check. I want to ask you to go to Liyue Harbor for a walk together."
"Mo Ran has been fighting outside before, so he probably doesn't know what Liyue Harbor is like now? It can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes."
"It's true that I haven't been out for a walk for a long time. Since Ping has invited me, I'd be honored to refuse." Mo Ran stood up and patted his clothes.
The graceful Gui Zhong and her good friend Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun were arm in arm, looking like a pair of peerless lotus flowers whose every smile and frown could overturn the world.
"Let's go. I heard that there are many old people telling stories in Liyue Harbor. Let's go and listen." Gui Zhong walked away arm in arm with his old friend, and Mo Ran followed behind like an insignificant person.
…………
At this time in Liyue Harbor, thousands of houses were arranged in an orderly manner, the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard in the alleys, children were playing in groups of three or five, and kind-looking old men and women were sitting in rocking chairs, chatting and laughing.
The young and strong man went out to sea to fish and has not yet returned. The woman who is staying at home in the empty room is doing needlework, weaving clothes to cover the men and children with her slender fingers.
On the busy street, the demon and the immortal holding hands undoubtedly became the most eye-catching scenery, but the residents all knew their identities and did not dare to approach them.
Otherwise, it will inevitably be another clichéd story that makes the world tired.
Mo Ran, who was following behind, looked at the Liyue Harbor, which had already taken shape, smiled knowingly, and whispered something inexplicable, "It's becoming more and more prosperous, and it's getting closer."
Accompanying two beautiful women shopping, since there was no currency for shopping at that time and everything was done by barter, Mo Ran felt relaxed.
We walked to a relatively open area and saw a dozen old people and children bringing their own stools, holding fruits to quench their thirst and as rewards. They nibbled on the sweet and juicy fruits and listened to the easy-to-understand stories, having a great time.
In the center of the place, he was holding a book with wrinkled corners. His mouth was not as eloquent as the storytellers of later generations. Every word was like a pearl, and the pauses and breathing were controlled very carefully.
But it is precisely because of this that there is a sense of returning to nature and being natural.
Occasionally, when the audience liked what they heard and felt happy, they would give a piece of fruit to the storyteller to quench his thirst.
After Gui Zhong and Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun entered the venue, they did not disturb other people, otherwise they might not be able to listen to the book this time.
Seeing the demon and the immortal, who looked like sisters, stop, Mo Ran knew that he had to play his part, and he used the power of rock element to support the three short men.
Mo Ran sat down carelessly. Gui Zhong and Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, one wore a short skirt that did not reach the knees, with her legs tightly clamped together, while the other wore a slit long robe, with one leg resting on the other.
Mo Ran followed the storyteller's movements and heard clearly, "It is said that the immortal who commands a group of Yakshas likes to wear black clothes, and his long hair at the back of his head reaches his waist."
"It is said that in Dihua Province, where countless demons and monsters reside, this immortal once led five generals to fight a fierce battle, even dyeing the river red!"
"This immortal didn't even blink, and said bluntly: 'Yaksha guards Liyue, and he guards Yasha'. These words are full of ambition."
The book was told for a long time. In addition to the bloody passion of war, there were also some tender feelings of beauty. Mo Ran felt overwhelmed after listening to it.
If this gets to Mond in the future, he won't be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Dark Sea.
The storytellers took many breaks in the middle, and by the time the show ended, it was almost evening.
Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun put his arm around his friend's shoulders, put their faces close together, and said with a smile: "Gui Zhong, your brother seems to be famous! People are talking about him all over the street now."
"This is a good thing. A real man should make great achievements in times of national crisis and be praised by thousands of people. Only then will girls like him!" Gui Zhong glanced at the man in black whose mouth twitched constantly, with a smile on his face.
The latter sighed and wondered who spread these stories. It would have been fine if they had spread them, but they also portrayed the immortal who commanded the Yakshas, that is, the mortal Mo Ran, as a general with a great mission sent by heaven.
There were exaggerated praises like "only he could pacify the world" and "whoever obtains it would be like gaining a hundred cities."
To be honest, even Mo Ran himself felt it was fake. He didn't think it had anything to do with him. Fortunately, Mo Ran had been fighting outside all these years, and no one in Liyue Harbor knew his name or appearance, otherwise he would not be able to live in peace whenever he went out.
Coming to Liyue was originally a helpless move. Mo Ran just wanted to save all the people who should be saved, and then wait until the present world to go back to Mondstadt to find the woman in his heart.
I never thought that my name would be recorded in history, let alone that there would be so many records about the deeds of the Yaksha Leader among the people.
Mo Ran racked his brains but couldn't figure out who leaked the news. It was impossible for the Five Generals to do so, and judging from the reactions of his elder sister and Ge Chenlangshi just now, they must have just found out.
Who would that be?
Mo Ran took note of this and planned to ask the immortals one by one later to find out who was so bored.
