"Nominally, he was a disciple of the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, but because of his excellent aptitude and comprehension, he also won the favor of several other immortals."

"He studied under several immortals and eventually mastered immortal techniques in his human form."

"With an ethereal air and an aura of otherworldly grace, he truly seemed like a celestial being from another realm!"

"However... in these secluded mountains and forests, besides a few immortals, there are only immortal birds and spirit beasts around. Over time, this has made their personalities increasingly indifferent."

"What exactly caused this mortal to become a 'true immortal'? Let me explain!"

Tian Tiezui held a folding fan, a book in one hand and the fan in the other.

"It is said that when Shen He was young, he lost his mother at the age of five. His father loved his wife so much that he harbored resentment because of his obsession! Alas, this resentment gave rise to inner demons, which caused him to go mad."

"Afterwards, his father left and stayed away for a year until Shen Henian was nearly gray-haired before his father returned."

"At the same time, her father also brought back a mysterious spell—'Borrowing Life with Life'!"

Upon hearing this name, the audience members below the stage began to discuss it animatedly.

"Borrowing life with life? Is this how you resurrect your wife? Would she even agree to that?"

"Exactly, how are we supposed to face Shen He if we come back to life like this?"

They were unaware that Shen He's father intended to exchange Shen He's life for his wife's.

With a 'thud,' the gavel fell to the table, and everyone fell silent.

"This technique requires offerings to the 'spirits' summoned through the secret method to reclaim the lives of the deceased."

"How could Shen He understand any of this? She was only happy because of her father's return."

"Her father told her that he had prepared a surprise for her in a cave in the back mountain and that he would take her there to find it."

Tian Tiezui frowned; he realized what was about to happen.

No one spoke, but they were cursing each other in their hearts.

His tone was eerie, and he lowered his voice, emphasizing each word when he said "only Shen He".

"There were no surprises inside the cave, only a hideous and terrifying black 'Fairy Spirit'! Its blood-red eyes held only Shen He!"

"In the blink of an eye! That wicked beast opened its blood-red maw, intending to devour Shen He!!" The speech quickened.

"Young Shen He didn't have time to think; she only had one thought in her mind at that moment."

"Live! I want to live! I don't want to die!" Tian Tiezui said passionately.

"She gripped the exorcism dagger her mother had given her, and trembled but resolutely stepped forward!"

"Until several days later, an immortal followed the aura of evil spirits and came to explore the cave." The word "explore" is emphasized.

"Inside that cave lies a little girl who has exhausted all her strength, hasn't eaten a single grain of rice, and is already on the verge of death," Tian Tiezui shook his head.

"The immortal took pity on her and saw that she had talent and a destiny to become an immortal, so he took her back to his mansion, touched her head and taught her the Dao."

"Only then did Shenhe come to be what it is today."

"Truly, 'The father's wickedness angered the gods, and from then on, all worldly desires were in vain.'"

As is his habit, Tian Tiezui also gave a summary of the current stage.

When everyone recalled the story of "Goddess Splitting the Temple", they finally understood the difference.

It turns out that the 'goddess' did not draw the sword voluntarily; she was a victim and was forced into it.

This did not diminish people's admiration for the 'goddess's' courage; on the contrary, it increased their empathy for her.

The previous 'goddess' was too much like a 'god,' while Shen He's story made them empathize more with her as a 'human.'

Everyone eagerly awaited the next development in the story, their eyes fixed on Tian Tiezui.

Tian Tiezui closed his folding fan and then said, "To find out what happens next..."

Before he could finish speaking, a passerby couldn't help but interrupt.

"Damn it! You should at least finish telling the story in the book! Oh my god, how could I swear in front of the Emperor! It's all your fault!"

"Exactly, aren't all the details about what happens after death in the book? Go ahead and finish telling the story!"

Tian Tiezui scratched his head. Oh no, he'd made a habit of stopping the story halfway through; it wasn't over yet.

"Alright, let's continue with the story of Shen He."

The story that follows is about Shen He returning to his hometown and discovering that the ties of the mortal world have long since vanished.

This story is not much different from the one told in the story of the Goddess Splitting Temple, but it is more detailed.

Then it was said that Shen He tried to integrate into the secular world, but lacked common sense.

After everyone had heard the whole story, they nodded in satisfaction.

Tian Tiezui's storytelling skills are quite high; he can always engage the audience's emotions.

Be tense when you need to be tense, and relax when you need to relax.

What Tian Tiezui said is not entirely the same as what Lin Qiu wrote. Lin Qiu must have included more psychological elements and narration when he wrote.

However, when Tian Tiezui tells stories, he usually does so selectively without disrupting the rhythm of the storytelling.

Storytelling is different from novels, so Tian Tiezui has to make choices when he tells his stories.

Regardless, everyone enjoyed listening to this and applauded Tian Tiezui.

"Damn, well said!"

"Uh... cough, I mean, Cai! Your Majesty, I don't usually swear."

At that moment, Shen He had just finished delivering takeout and was returning to Wanmintang. He glanced at the lively crowd at Sanwanbuguogang and walked past silently.

This was a bustling area with many people coming and going, so no one noticed that the 'protagonist' of the story had walked past in the flowing crowd behind them.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun put the book away. "Shen He... sigh, Lin Qiu really wrote a good story."

"Speaking of which, Shen He's return to the mortal world is all thanks to him; I should give him some reward..."

Liu Yun was at a loss; she couldn't think of anything Lin Qiu lacked that she needed to provide.

"Hmph, I'll go ask him myself."

Once I know what he wants, how could I, with my inventive abilities, not create it?

Besides the people of Liyue, people from other countries have also read Shenhe's story, such as Araki Ichito, who was sitting in prison with nothing to do.

"That bastard father! I'm going to beat him up!" Araki Ichito was furious as soon as he got out of jail and wanted to rush out.

"Boss! Calm down!" Hisaki desperately grabbed Arataki Ichito. "That man is dead, he's become a demon, how are we going to beat him up?"

"What?! I, the great one, will not allow him to become a demon!" Araki Ichito was even more furious.

It turns out that Araki Ichito was trying to defy the Eye Hunt Order again, which is why he was arrested. He was just squatting in the cell reading a book, which was sent by Gan Bunkei and his gang.

"My story? Hmm...you mean that book and the Goddess's Mirror? I really love them both."

Chapter 115 The Chapter of the Immortal Unicorn

Hisaki Shinobu had successfully defended Arataki Ichito outside, and the prison door had barely been opened when Arataki rushed out.

“What an idiot! She was talking about that kind of flickering ghost!” Kujo Sara said.

"Ah... I'm not good at dealing with those kinds of ghosts either... Looks like I'll have to rely on Ah Chou."

Kujo Sara gave Arataki Kazuto a strange look. How come this guy is completely unaffected by losing his God's Eye?

He then looked at Hisaki Shinobu and said, "Why follow such an idiot? You should join the Tenryo Magistrate instead."

"Hmph, Kujou-gumi, don't even think about trying to sow discord between me and Shinobu. You might as well return our God Eyes, and I might spare you."

While Yidou and the others were making a ruckus in the prison, Lei, who was inside the castle tower, had just finished reading his book.

The book was sent by Yae no Miko. The previous "If You Are Trapped in a Windless Land" had the opposite effect, so Yae no Miko didn't send every book.

However, Yae no Miko still sent this book about the Geo Archon of Liyue to Kage.

'At that time, the crane returned, but in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), it had no one to rely on and departed alone.'

Today we meet again, with new and old friends filling the hall, gathering together at this moment.

When this line is applied to Ying, it's the exact opposite... Originally, he was surrounded by new and old friends, but when he returned, he found himself adrift in a vast and helpless world.

"Even Morax couldn't withstand the wear and tear..." Shadow looked up at the sky above the Pure Land of One Heart.

In Ying's view, Morax's rule over Liyue for thousands of years is a kind of "eternity," and the current changes are mostly due to the wear and tear that has altered his thinking.

Even a stubborn rock like Morax can be worn down and changed. It seems that creating dolls and cultivating one's mind in a serene place was indeed the right choice.

Of the original group of gods, it seems that only his own thoughts remain unchanged.

Thor is a twin demon god, so although the Shadow is not the first ruler of thunder, he is indeed one of the first gods and is the true shadow of thunder.

Thinking of the first gods, the image of her sister appeared in Ying's mind.

"Sister...Fox Abode Palace...Everyone..." Ying murmured, then closed her eyes to calm herself.

At the same time, give the doll instructions, and then don't tell Yae no Miko when she sends the book again, as it will affect her mindset.

Narcida, the grass goddess of Mount Sumeru, also learned of Morax's thoughts.

“A test for the people?” Nasita sighed softly.

Now, it's not that she's testing her people; it's that her people are testing her.

"How wonderful! The gods are testing their people, and the people are responding to the gods' expectations."

Naxida's eyes were full of determination, "I must also meet the expectations of my people."

Fontaine, Little Fou's eyes widened, "So, the Rock God faked his death?"

Such a huge dragon fell from the sky, and the scene was so grand, but it turned out to be fake?

Oh no! I, as the water goddess, didn't realize it. Will the Seven Stars of Liyue look down on me? Will they figure out I'm not a god?

Little did she know that her wisdom stemmed entirely from other people's imaginations.

When your identity is unusual, others will automatically fill in the blanks in your mind regarding your behavior.

Fu Ningna couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the person who had dined with her at Lin Qiu's house that day wasn't just the Wind God, but also the Rock God.

And then there's Shen He's story... I can truly empathize with his loneliness then and the joy of making friends now...

No way, I have to go hear a live version of 'Goddess Splitting the Temple'!

Fu Ningna took out the communication device that Lin Qiu had given her and contacted Lin Qiu.

This was given to her by Lin Qiu when she left Liyue and returned to Fontaine, telling her to contact him if anything happened.

Lin Qiu redeemed several from the system and gave one to her and one to Navia.

This thing can only communicate in two directions, and the other end was bound to Lin Qiu from the beginning.

At that moment, Lin Qiu's two communication devices lit up simultaneously, and Fu Ningna and Navia were both 'calling' him at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiu asked, thinking something had happened to Feng Dan when he saw that the two of them were contacting him at the same time.

"Lin (Qiu), I want to hear 'The Goddess Splits the Temple'!" the two women said in unison.

They both heard each other's voices and realized that the other person had also contacted Lin Qiu.

"......" I thought something had happened.

"If you want to hear it, I'll sing it for you." Lin Qiu cleared her throat.

"Hey, wait a minute, I want to hear Yun Jin sing it," Navia interrupted.

“Yes, Navia is right,” Funina agreed.

Lin Qiu pouted, "So you just think I didn't sing well, huh? Then meet at my house in a few days, and I'll take you to listen."

The reason for waiting a few days is that Yun Jin doesn't have a show every day.

In fact, to strike while the iron is hot, Lin Qiu has completed more than just these two books at the same time. It is likely that other books will be released in the next few days.
