Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

“In the old days, I often quarreled with Gui Zhong over mechanical arts. We both insisted on our own opinions and refused to give in to each other.

This immortal once invited the most impartial Rock King Emperor to evaluate the superiority of the two mechanisms under the pretext of a party... But the Emperor said that Guizhong's [Yihu Mechanism] was slightly better than mine. Although it is difficult to say it, this immortal knows in his heart that Guizhong is indeed better than me in terms of mechanism...

As for the story of Gui Zhong and Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun, it all started with a bell. Gui Zhong believed that although mechanical technology could not completely replace human composing, its finished product was comparable to simple creations.

Ge Chenlangshi believed that music was the sound of the soul, something that was inspired by feelings, and it was impossible for it to be generated by a mechanism. The two argued endlessly, so I had to ask the Emperor to come forward. He took away the bell and used it to organize various ceremonies.

Since then, I have seen them often gather in the mountains to discuss classical music, mechanical techniques and various things in the world.

But the good times didn't last long. Later, the demons and gods fought each other, and Guiliyuan was ravaged by war. In the end, Guiliyuan was defeated by the invaders and died in the battle. When Benxian and Gechen arrived, the only thing left in the ruins was the remains of my old friend.

After that, at the request of Gechenlang City, Emperor Yanwang handed over the Cleansing Dust Bell to her for safekeeping. This immortal also followed the thoughts of his old friend and made a brief progress on her [Return to the End] to commemorate her...

The sky lanterns rose and fell several times, and people gathered and dispersed. "

"What are you looking at? Guiliyuan?"

Grandma Ping: “Looking at this landscape.

When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. So are immortals. Perhaps one day, we will all settle down and return to the earthly world. "

[Paimon: Why are there so many knives in the Lantern Festival video? Isn't it fun to celebrate the festival? ]

[Hu Tao: Zhongli, tell me, do you have that kind of relationship with Gui Zhong? ]

【Zhongli: No】

[Hu Tao: Return to the end, Zhongli, return to Zhong, finally leave; finally return to leave, finally return to leave]

[Zhongli: She and I are good friends, Hall Master, you are overthinking]

[Ying: Chen Ge Hu, Chen, Ge, the soulmate is gone, no one can understand the deep meaning of the piano anymore, the beauty-loving Ping Er has also become Grandma Ping]

[Paimon: I finally understand why Zhongli was so angry about those treasure-stealing groups destroying the final machine.]

[Young Master: Puppet, can you explain why you look exactly like Gui Zhong? ]

[Puppet: There are always two similar flowers in the world. So what if they look the same? ]

[Xiangling: Grandma always has glazed lilies planted next to her. She must be thinking of her husband.]

[Grandma Ping: I wanted to buy some osmanthus flowers to go with the wine, but it’s a pity…..Alas]

[Zhongli: The rock will eventually return to dust]

...

"I am aloof by nature, reserved in emotion, and not fond of socializing. My encounter with Guizhong started from our research on mechanical arts."

Paimon: "But I see you have a lot of friends and are good at chatting."

"Being timid in front of others doesn't mean that I like making friends! This is called a cheerful introvert. After all, I am not like Ge Chenlangshi. She is bold and delicate, and she is good at speaking. Her friendship with Gui Zhong will only increase compared to mine... These two were rivals in the past, and they often competed in composing music. That [Cleaning Dust Bell] is Gui Zhong's masterpiece. She can both compose music and perform it..."

Paimeng suddenly remembered that when he first came to Liyue, Grandma Ping asked an old friend for the Dichen Bell! She also said that she loved beauty when she was young.

Hearing this, Master Liuyun seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Ge Chenlangshi loves beauty? Ha... Come on. This bell contains sad past. Moreover, it must be the wrong time, so she told you that on purpose. As for the old friend, who else could it be?"

"At that time, when Gechenlang City heard that a man named Zhongli wanted to borrow the bell, they immediately guessed that the man was the Emperor, and had already made a major decision. After so many years, there are some things that we know about each other.

The Dichen Bell is powered by mechanical devices and is very suitable for accompaniment. It played a role in the later sending-off ceremonies. Ge Chenlangshi later asked for it on purpose, not to compose funeral music. Every time she rang the bell, the music played was the one composed by Guizhong. The two of them had a clash of ideas on music. No one expected that after Guizhong passed away, Ge Chenlangshi played the harp to commemorate him, and the melodies they had composed before would gradually merge...”

"Ge Chenlang used to love bustle, wine and songs... After Gui Zhong left, she no longer liked to be with others. She often sat alone on the top of a mountain, playing the zither and thinking. Sometimes she was sad, sometimes relaxed, and sometimes excited... After who knows how many years, she seemed to have finally composed a satisfactory tune, and played it to the clouds to celebrate. Unfortunately, I only heard her play that one time."

[Alice: When Zhong Ziqi died, Boya broke his qin and never played it again for the rest of his life. This is what he meant by a close friend.]

[Hu Tao: I must visit Grandma Ping more often when I have time]

[Yaoyao: Grandma, Yaoyao will come to accompany you every day from now on]

[Yan Fei: Grandma, I will also find time to come over]

[Grandma Ping: You all have your own lives, so you don’t have to come over so often. I’ve been in Liyue Harbor and I’m not going anywhere.]

[Qiqi: Why does Ganyu look so dazed?]

[Ying: I guess he was surprised to hear that Emperor Yan is still alive.]

[System: According to the original schedule, Zhongli would have sent them a message in their dreams, but Ganyu and Keqing have been working overtime and haven’t slept, so…]

[Keqing: If you waste too much time, you won't be able to finish your work. Do your job well! This is my philosophy in life! ]

[Paimon: Maybe Zhongli will come to you in a dream again in the future, and you will miss it again]

[Zhongli: No, Liyue has been handed over to them. The era of human rule has arrived. Morax has passed away. Now I am just a small guest official of the Hall of Rebirth.]

[Hu Tao: Zhongli, you will not leave the Hall of Rebirth in the future, right? ]

[Zhongli: Master, what are you talking about? As long as you don’t chase me away, I will always be here.]

[Hu Tao: Don't worry, you are our lifelong guest of Wangsheng Hall]

[Xianyun: Okay, everyone has gone to see Ah Ping. It seems that I am not welcome. Never mind. I will go back to Aozang Mountain now.]

[Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun: That’s great…]

[Ding! Master Xueyue Zhuyang has withdrawn a message]

[Shen He: Master, I will always be by your side]

[Xianyun: Shen He is filial, and this immortal is pleased. Gan Yu, although you are a half-immortal, you should also pay more attention to your health and not overwork yourself.]

【Ganyu: Okay, Master】

[Klee: Brother Kaeya, Brother Albedo, can you come and pick Klee up? It’s so dark here and Klee is scared. Klee will wait for you at the old place.

[Kaia: Brother Kaia will be here soon]

...

"Speaking of the incident you are investigating... Perhaps the ancestor of the Fontaine people unfortunately fell into the water during this period and was rescued by Gechenlangshi."

Paimon couldn't resist the temptation and asked curiously, "But... why was the satisfactory tune only played once?"

Liuyun Zhenjun explained: She said: [The strings of the zither are still there, but the soulmate has passed away. Liuyun, who should I tell this song to? ”

Ganyu only remembered that she was taken care of by Zhenjun when she was a child. After the Demon God War, she stayed in Liyue Harbor to fulfill the [Contract]. She had met Guizhong several times, but she didn't know that there was such a past.

"Guizhong was a man of foresight, but he left us too early. The manuscript in the Cloud Sea Cave Heaven has not been completed, and the blank space... is left with only memories. If you hadn't wanted to find that immortal, these past events would probably have been sealed in the dust.

Traveler, now you know that the fairy who rescued people is none other than Gechen Langshi Zhenjun. Are you going to tell her about this?"

Ying remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
