Chapter 190 Even the Strongest Wind Has a Way Back (Bushi)

This was the situation in Liyue at that time.

"Kage, let me tell you, the traveler is so abominable, she cut off all the cherry blossom trees in Narukami Taisha Shrine three times, three times!" Yae Kamiko complained to Kage.

"Is the sacred cherry tree okay?" Ying asked nervously.

"It's okay, it's just that the cherry blossoms are missing and the trunk is not damaged." Yae Shenzi shook his head and said.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

When Ying was eating at Wanmin Hall, she unexpectedly met Yae Shenzi and Ying, who were complaining about themselves in a low voice. Out of curiosity, Ying walked over and listened.

When Yae Kamiko and Kage saw Ying coming over, they did not end the conversation, but continued talking.

"But speaking of the sacred cherry tree, why do I have no impression at all? If Inazuma had the sacred cherry tree from the beginning, why would there be a disaster?" Yae Kamiko asked in confusion.

"How do you say this?" Ying asked with a gleam in his eyes.

"Because the sacred cherry tree is very powerful and can absorb filth and purify it, the more I think about it, the more unreasonable it becomes." Yae Kamiko said with a frown.

"Because the sacred cherry tree grew suddenly after the battle five hundred years ago. It grew suddenly after the death of Huzhai Palace and Zhen." Ying said.

After hearing Kage's words, Yae Shenzi's eyes widened: "What?!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Everyone is eating. That's what I remember, but everyone else in Inazuma thinks that the sacred cherry tree has been around for a long time." Shadow said with a solemn look.

Yae Shenzi sighed and said: "So that's the case. I was wondering why the Ina Wife was so difficult with the presence of the sacred Sakura Tree. It turned out to be the one who appeared later."

"Traveller, please don't tell anyone about this." Ying saw Ying standing nearby and seemed to have been listening for a while and said.

Ying replied: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Well, I thought my memory was confused at the time, because I was the only one who remembered that the sacred cherry tree suddenly grew overnight, while everyone else in Inazuma thought that the sacred cherry tree was there from the beginning."

"As Shenzi said, if there had been a sacred cherry tree from the beginning, Inazuma's ending would have been much better, and not so many people would have died, so I firmly believe that my memory is correct."

"Ying, come on, why do you have to stand there for so long next to Shadow and Shenzi while you're shopping? I'm already hungry." Paimon shouted to Ying from his seat.

"Come on, come on." After Ying said that, she returned to the table where she and Paimon were sitting with the drinks.

Shadow Mountain, Narukami Grand Shrine.

Several people saw Yae Shenzi under the sacred cherry tree. At this time, she was standing in front of the sacred cherry tree and praying.

"You guys are here, how are you? Has the matter between Shadow and General Raiden been resolved?" Yae Shenzi asked.

Paimon replied: "No, Shadow sent us out. I heard she said that she would have to fight General Raiden for a long time, and I will ask you to take care of Ina Wife."

Yae Shenzi: "."

"What happened?" Yae Shenzi asked in confusion.

Paimon told the story of the incident to Yae Shenzi.

"It's going to be difficult to deal with this. Kage still has this kind of character and hasn't changed all this time." After saying this, Yae Shenzi sighed.

"So, Son of God, please think of a solution quickly." Paimon said anxiously.

"But isn't the guy next to me more powerful than me? Why are you coming to me?" Yae Shenzi asked in confusion.

Paimon explained: "She doesn't care about this matter. She said it is a matter between Shadow and General Thunder and it is not for her to interfere."

"Also, what is the real consciousness space? I feel it's weird there, and there are a lot of cherry blossoms falling."

Yae Shenzi replied: "The real consciousness space, I only know that it is the foundation of the sacred cherry tree, and I also heard that it is somewhat different from the shadow's Isshin Pure Land."

"Is it because Raiden is really gone?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"That's not entirely the case. The nature of space is also different. Compared with me talking about it on paper, those of you who have visited it in person should have a better understanding, right?"

After hearing what Yae Shenzi said, Ying said, "I didn't pay attention."

"But if you really say that the consciousness space is the foundation of the sacred cherry tree, then everything is connected." Ying touched her chin and analyzed.

"That's what happened, but I still have to ask, why do you think I have the solution?" Yae Shenzi replied.

Ying replied: "Intuition."

"Okay, then I will send you there again, follow me." Yae Shenzi said.

Paimon wondered: "Why are you sending us back?"

Yae Shenzi spread her hands and said, "Isn't that why you came here? Since she doesn't take action, this is all I can do. You go over and have a good talk with them."

"You have a point." Pamon replied, scratching his head.

So, several people returned to the cave again.

"But, how are you going to send us there?" Paimon asked Yae Shenzi.

"There is always a way, although it is a bit cunning." Yae Shenzi replied: "The space of consciousness is very abstract for other people. Fortunately, I am a descendant of Shadow, so I can more or less sense where she is."

"In other words, I can't locate the specific location of that place in space, but I can send you to Kage."

After listening to Yae Shenzi's words, Paimon scratched his head and wondered: "Abstract...? Position? What and what..."

Yae Shenzi explained: "You don't need to understand. To put it simply, everything around her is in chaos now."

"It's as disorderly as turbulence... If you break in forcefully, you may be swept away by the huge waves and completely lost in time and space."

Hearing Yae Shenzi's words, he seemed to think of something and murmured: "Time, space."

After listening to Ying's words, Yae Shenzi thought of something and continued to her: "For this reason, it is safer to host your consciousness on an object when entering the Pure Land of One Heart."

"Ah? Then I won't go, you can go!" Pamon said quickly.

"No, you have to go. If you don't go, I will throw you over when the time comes." Liusu said.

Paimon: "."

"Why, since you can also feel where the destination is, why didn't you send us there before?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

Liusu explained: "Because it was too stable for me to send you there. This result is not what I want."

"Stability is what we want!" Paimeng hurriedly said to Liusu, "So, it's better for Liusu to send us there."

Liusu shook his head and said, "No, you will know later."

Paimon crossed his arms and said angrily: "Why? I won't go until you make it clear. You can go on your own."

Seeing Paimon's appearance at this time, Liusu smiled and said: "Paimon, if I throw him over or you go by yourself, you choose one."

"You, you are annoying! I'll just go"

Yae Shenzi changed his worried look before and said with a smile: "Now that I have made up my mind, I will send you on your way."

"Eat and drink well, and have a good journey."

After listening to Ying's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain: "Ying, don't talk about Hu Tao at this time, it's so unlucky!"

While the two were talking. Yae Shenzi stretched out his hand towards the torii, and the door to space appeared in front of him again.

Yae Shenzi: "."

Looking at the frowning Yae Shenzi, Paimon wondered: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I feel very confused, which confirms my judgment in my heart." Yae Shenzi replied calmly.

"By the way, when you enter the space, you must keep repeating your wishes. Only a consciousness that is strong enough to avoid being swallowed up by the huge waves in the abstract space. If you are strong enough, I can send you to the most suitable place. s position."

Although Ying was a little confused, she still said: "I understand."

"Then, the door is open, please come in." Yae Shenzi said: "I will stay outside to adapt to changes and be your last insurance."

"Son of God, are you reliable? Otherwise, why don't we let Liusu do it?" Paimon said with some worry after hearing what Son of God Yae said.

Ying glanced at Paimeng and said, "Liu Su must have her own intention in doing this, so please stop talking about it."

"And, we're going to succeed."

After saying that, Ying thought about her wish and prepared to step into the portal with firm eyes.

"Wait a minute, take this." Liusu threw a golden branch towards Ying.

After Ying took the branch, she wondered: "What is this?"

Liusu explained: "A positioning tool that can contact you across something. By the way, I can confirm my guess."

"That's it, Paimon, let's go." Ying greeted Paimon next to him.

Paimon said hesitantly: "How about, Ying, you think about it again? Liusu gave you this, which means it must be very dangerous this time."

"What are you thinking about? I don't think there will be any danger in this trip." Ying said.

Paimon asked in confusion: "What do you rely on to know this? Are you like Mona's horoscope?"

"Intuition!" Ying answered with her hands on her hips and her head raised.

Paimon: "."

Paimon entered the portal with a confused look on his face and Ying with his head held high.

After entering the portal, Ying and Paimon found that this time was a little different from the last time they directly arrived in the real consciousness space. This time they appeared in a tunnel-like place, with purple streams of light constantly passing by.

"Ying, why is something different this time?" Paimon exclaimed from the side.

Ying replied: "This space door is a bit like a tunnel."

"Have you noticed it?" Suddenly Liusu's voice appeared in Ying's mind.

"Tassel?!" Ying shouted in surprise.

"What Tassel? She didn't come here either?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

Liusu said: "You don't have to shout out, you just need to convey what you want to say in your mind."

"What's going on?" Ying asked confused.

"I marked your location, and then I found that you disappeared during my time period." Liusu said.

"Disappeared in your time period, what do you mean?" Ying asked.

Suddenly, the light in front of him flashed quickly, and accompanied by the sound of space breaking, Ying felt that time was passing rapidly around him and Paimon.

"It means. It's obvious that you have traveled through time. Hey, it's so annoying. Talking across time is really a labor-intensive job." Ying listened to Liusu's voice, which was a bit choppy, and felt nervous, but then it became clear again. After it became smoother, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Time traveled? Then did I go to the past or the future?" Ying asked.

"I don't know about this, after all, I'm not here." Liusu replied: "Oh, just like Yae Shenzi said, when traveling through the time and space tunnel, you must repeat your wish, otherwise you will not be transported to other places. It’s easy to handle, I can’t go over and get you now.”

Ying: "Why? According to your ability, you should be able to learn it later?"

"How can I tell you, because we are different, we have no future or past, you know?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that our time is synchronized. How long it takes for me to learn something, then how long you have to stay there before I can come over. Do you understand?"

"I still don't understand." Ying shook her head and said.

"To put it simply, the existence and traces of all the creatures in Teyvat exist as a line in time. If you cut this line short in the past, it will disappear in the future, but we are different. We are a point, there is only the present, there is no future or past, this point will only become stronger, and it will be the same in the future, present and past.”

"Your past and future will not be changed, only your present can be changed. So, do you understand? This is also the special thing about the Advent."

"When you say that, I kind of understand. I will work hard to become stronger." Ying replied seriously.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. You can deal with your affairs first and don't be distracted by being teleported to other places."

After listening to Liusu's words, Ying slowly closed her eyes and began to think about her wish over and over again.

As Ying's wish appeared, countless images like broken mirrors continued to pass by her casually. The most visible images were images of Paimon and Tassel, as well as a small number of images of the starry sky and the universe.

"Ah?" Paimon looked at Ying's contemplation with a surprised and complicated expression, and his small body couldn't help but lean a little closer to Ying.

Suddenly a strong light came, and Ying and Paimon's figures appeared in the real consciousness space again, but Ying already knew from Liusu that she was no longer in the previous time, and she also understood why Liusu did what he did.

Shadow looked at Ying and Paimon who appeared in surprise.

Looking at Ying, who was looking slightly embarrassed as he tried to compete with the calm General Thunder and Lightning opposite him, Paimon asked worriedly: "Ying, are you okay?"

"Why?" Ying asked confused: "How can you come here again? And you still look the same as before."

"Back then? What do you mean?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"This duel is very nostalgic, but Ying, your martial arts is still a bit inferior after all." General Thunder said to Ying with a sword in his hand.

"Ahem."

Hearing General Thunder's words, Ying's expression was a little uncomfortable. Obviously the effect of the two people using thunder elements was almost the same, but the other party could grow grass, so this fight was not fair at all.

"In countless battles, you have never been defeated, and you have not hesitated at all. Even if I show all the enemies of eternity in front of you, you have never wavered."

"You are worthy of admiration for enforcing the rules so firmly." Ying also replied.

"Now you are worthy of the name of eternity. They return to this space again, just like the inevitable fate." General Thunder said.

Ying seemed to have thought of something, and said to General Thunder in front of him: "The inevitable fate? Is this the reason why you stopped suddenly?"

"No, no, no, this is just part of the plan. Let us use the final battle to bring an end to this five-hundred-year duel." General Thunder shook his head at Ying.

"Plan? What plan?" Ying asked in surprise.

"Beat me, and I'll tell you." General Thunder said, and at the same time, his body erupted with a stronger aura than before.

Seeing this, Ying hurriedly said to Ying next to him: "Back off, traveler."

"Are you finally going to end all this?" Ying asked.

"Have you discovered it? Five hundred years later." Liusu's voice came again.

Ying asked in surprise: "Lisu, have you expected this?"

"Yes, and no, but I was interfered by Istaru, the ruler of time. I thought about a way to get in touch with you for a long time. I am really exhausted."

"You said three minutes is a long time?" Yingying's eyes twitched and she couldn't help but complain.

The meaning of short and long tassels cannot be inferred using common sense. Short time refers to hundreds of years, and long time refers to minutes.

"Ah? Really? I remember it happened a long time ago, don't worry about these details."

fluorescent:"."

"So, what's the reason why Paimeng and I came here? Why do I feel like I'm useless?" Ying asked doubtfully.

Liusu explained: "You are the promoter of the incident. As long as you are present, the incident will continue. Otherwise, they will keep fighting."

"Does that mean I'm just a tool?" Ying complained.

"Well, you are right no matter what you think, but this matter really wouldn't work without you."

Ying asked: "Then what can I do?"

"Wait, wait until they finish." Liusu replied.

"Then who do you think will win?"

Liusu replied directly: "Of course it's General Thunder. Unless she lets it slip, how else can Ying defeat the enhanced version of General Thunder."

fluorescent:"."

While Ying and Liusu were communicating, the events on the field began to evolve.

Shadow raised the long knife in his hand and said, "I will be the next one to start."

"The time required for the duel is enough to witness the rise and fall of the kingdom; the energy consumed by the duel is enough to overturn the sea and destroy the light of the sky; the will required for the duel is enough to penetrate one's heart and turn dreams upside down, but you still exist."

Listening to General Thunder's words, Paimon's expression became strange again. Could this be him reciting lines again?

Because of the fierce attack of General Lei Dian, Ying could only parry and dodge, and had no power to fight back, especially the green long sword in General Lei Dian's hand made Ying a little afraid.

The most important thing is that General Lei Dian fought harder and harder. If General Lei Dian was defending before, the opponent had learned to counterattack in the middle. Later, the opponent's attack speed was not much different from hers, and as time went by, the opponent's combat ability was still increasing.

"Is my past really invincible?" Ying gritted her teeth and looked at General Lei Dian who was slashing.

"No, my wish cannot end again." Saying this, Ying's eyes became firm again.

At this time, Ying's eyes radiated a strong light, and Wu Xiang's knife was once again used by her full strength.

"Rice light, also eternal!"

Then

"You, why?" Ying looked at General Lei Dian who was suddenly chopped by her dream and flew backwards and asked in confusion.

General Lei Dian stood up expressionlessly, patted the non-existent ash on his body and said: "You are very strong, I lost, that's all."

Can you act any more fake? The previous Mengxiang Yixin chopped you as if nothing happened. This time you flew backwards, still stood up fine, and said that you lost.

"You haven't lost yet. I can feel that you still have a lot of strength left." Ying shook his head.

"But I don't want to fight with you in this space anymore. Five hundred years is long enough." General Lei Dian also shook his head.

Ying asked puzzledly: "Why?"

"I have already felt your determination, so there is no need to continue. I lost." General Lei Dian put away the weapon in his hand, sighed and said: "But, Ying, it has been a thousand years since the last separation, right?"

Ying: "???"

After hearing what General Lei Dian said, Ying's right hand holding Mengxiang Yixin's hand was shaking violently, and a pair of purple eyes looked at each other in disbelief.
