Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Master Mao: "This is your grilled tigerfish."

Chen Xi took it: "Thank you. Are there any temples outside Liyue Harbor that worship Yakshas?"

Master Mao tore off a piece of paper, drew a rough map and route on it, and handed it to Chen Xi: "Yes, I'll mark the route on the map for you."

Chen Xi: "Thank you so much."

Chen Xi called out to the system: "System, map location, I have no sense of direction, understand?"

System reply: Okay, the place Master Mao marked is near the teleportation anchor point in the Golden House area. I'll give you directions so you don't get lost.

Chen Xi: Tongzi, I knew you were the best.

System: Mora, could you consider giving me a larger share?

Chen Xi: Of course, it's all Pantalone's money anyway.

Pantalone: ​​? ? ?

Chen Xi handed the grilled tigerfish to the "scholar's" mouth: "Scholar? Here, this is yours."

The scholar took it: "Hmm, is that for [Young Master]?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "No, it's for an old friend... although he doesn't recognize me... By the way, his name is Tongque, we'll go to the Yaksha's temple to find him."

"Hmm, do you know the way?"

“We’ve been here before, so we recognize some of the places. Besides, we have the map Master Mao gave us, so we’re sure we can find it.”

Chen Xi: You agree, right? (System)

System: Yes, yes, I'll guide you right away.

……

The two wandered around for a whole day, but couldn't find their way outside Liyue Harbor.

The system instantly became enraged: West, west! This is the north!

Chen Xi asked: Which side is west? Which side is north?

The system can only rage in vain: So you can't even tell directions?

Chen Xi complained: "I have no sense of direction! Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to navigate?"

System: Why don't you ask someone else, like the person next to you?

Chen Xi: Okay, you're no use to me.

system:……

Chen Xi tugged at his sleeve: "Scholar brother~"

The scholar asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xi: "It seems we've gone in the wrong direction, and we're getting further and further away from each other."

Scholar: "Give me the map."

……

After a long and winding journey, the two finally found a local from Liyue. They asked him for directions and promised to pay him to show them the way. The man readily agreed upon hearing about the payment.

……

"This is it, you two."

What appears before you is a dilapidated temple, partially collapsed, with the bronze sparrow statue inside covered in dust.

Chen Xi wrote the amount on the blank check and handed it to the man: "This is a check from the Northern Bank, 100,000 Mora."

Feeling that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, he asked, "What's your name?"

The man replied, "My name is Wang Ping'an!"

"Tsk... Wang Ping'an? That name sounds familiar." Chen Xi paused for a moment, as memories from deep within her mind surfaced.

[The Talisman of No Taboos]...

[The Celestial Lord Who Seizes Stars and Planets]...

[Evil Qi]...

A fraud? Bronze Sparrow! A demon!

[A Talisman of No Taboos]!

Seeing that the other person's reaction seemed to indicate that they recognized him, Wang Ping'an was somewhat puzzled and asked, "You know me?"

Chen Xi did not answer his question, but instead asked in return, "Do you know what kind of temple this is? And who it is dedicated to?"

Wang Ping'an: "This temple has been abandoned for many years and few people come here. I only know that it is a temple of the Yaksha."

Chen Xi: "You must have read books about Yakshas, ​​right?"

Wang Ping'an: "How did you know?"

Chen Xi put his mask back on: "Let me introduce myself again. I am the twelfth executive officer of the Fools."

Wang Ping'an panicked when he saw the mask bearing the symbol of the Fools: "You... what do you want to do?"

Chen Xi had been infected with the snake spirit disease by the Fools, and his words revealed an evil aura. He drew his knife with his left hand, brandished it a few times, and then sheathed it: "Don't be afraid. Although I am not a good person, I will not play with other people's lives like other executives."

"I asked you to bring us here for only one thing—to repair the temple."

Chen Xi paced back and forth in front of the temple, saying:

"Tongque's real name is unknown, as are his birth and death dates. The name 'Tongque' was bestowed upon him by the Rock King Emperor. Among the Yakshas, ​​he is considered an ordinary Yaksha, a minor immortal, not a great immortal like Tongxiao or Fushe. So naturally you don't know him."

"Although the Yakshas fought against darkness and filth, they sacrificed themselves to protect Liyue. The people of Liyue will not forget, nor can they forget, such heroic deeds. People have not forgotten the contributions that Bronze Sparrow made to Liyue. They built the Bronze Sparrow Temple in his memory and to commemorate him. However, the temple eventually fell into disrepair and collapsed due to the wind and rain and years of neglect."

……

“The temple of heroes should not be in such a dilapidated state, so I intend to repair it.”

A familiar figure appeared before the statue; it was the phantom of the Bronze Sparrow: "I never thought that someone would remember a mere minor immortal like me."

Chen Xi: "Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Tongque: "Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about my affairs?"

Chen Xi: "I'm just an executive officer of the Fools who likes to study history and the deeds of historical figures."

Tongque didn't believe it: "Is that so?"

Chen Xi: "Your area of ​​movement is limited. Would you like to see Liyue Harbor as it is now? I have a way."

Wang Ping'an was surprised and looked at Tongque: "You...you are an immortal?"

Bronze Sparrow: "Is that strange?"

Chen Xi: "If I remember correctly, Wang Ping'an has the [Unfettered Talisman]."

Wang Ping'an: "What do you want to do?"

Tongque: "Young man, may I take a look?"

Wang Ping'an took out a yellow talisman and handed it to Tongque. Tongque examined it for a few moments and said, "It is indeed the [Talisman of No Taboos]. Who gave it to you?"

Fearing that Tongque might misunderstand, Wang Ping'an explained, "This is an item that was found in a box after my grandfather died. Because it can ward off evil spirits, I have always carried it with me."

Chen Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You didn't use it for anything bad, did you? For example, to impersonate an immortal and profit from it?"

Wang Ping'an was startled and took a few steps back: "No, of course not."

Tongque returned the Hundred Taboos Talisman to Wang Ping'an: "Alright, stop scaring him. Didn't you say you had a way to let me see Liyue Harbor as it is now?"

Chen Xi recalled the Dream Demon God's other ability, [Transforming the Illusory into the Real]: "Yes, but it can only last for an hour."

Tongque was quite satisfied: "An hour is enough."

Wang Ping'an asked hesitantly, "Um... Immortal, may I come along?"

Bronze Sparrow: "Alright, just call me Bronze Sparrow."

Chen Xi: "Tongque, would you like some grilled tigerfish?"

Tongque noticed the grilled tigerfish in Chen Xi's right hand: "Was this specially for me?"

Chen Xi: "Yes, I heard from the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons that you like to eat this."

“It’s him. Just put it there.” Tongque pointed to the offering plate in front of the statue, which hadn’t been washed for hundreds of years.

Chen Xi: "It's all covered in dust. Are you sure you can eat it if you put it on top of the dust? I'll make you materialize so you can just grab it and eat it."

"Transform the illusory into the real, materialize, depart." As the spell was cast, streams of light merged into the remnant soul of the Bronze Sparrow, gradually transforming it into a human body.

"My body... is no longer a remnant soul..." Tong Que thought Chen Xi was just saying it, but he didn't expect that he could actually do it.

Wang Ping'an was shocked by Chen Xi's magic: "So powerful."

Chen Xi handed over the grilled tigerfish: "Don't just stand there like an idiot. You only have one hour. Here's your grilled tigerfish, eat it."

Tongque took the grilled tigerfish and took a bite: "Delicious, it tastes the same as before, unchanged."

The "scholar" quietly observed everything. Although he was jealous, he didn't say it outright. He was just spoiling his own child.
