In Genshin Impact, No One Understands Holy Relics Better Than Me

Heguan's story will not make people happy... This sentence made Xia Xia's heart tremble, interrupting Hu Tao, who was distracting the topic, and asked bluntly: "Can you tell me what you know about Heguan first?"

"Well..." Ah Kui needs to think about it and sum up the language well.

Because he is usually taciturn, the only person to chat with is Mr. Sumida, who escapes his words, opens his mind for a long time, and doesn't know what to say. Therefore, it is difficult to tell stories, and he doesn't know where to start.

"The ancestors of the family couldn't bear the matter of Heguan, so they escaped, built a small boat, and went in the direction of the so-called "Thunderbirds"...that is, Qinglai Island. "

"The ancestors lived on Qinglai Island for a long time. Later, Thunderbird destroyed Heguan, and later, died on Qinglai Island, which made the environment there uninhabitable..."

"Our family was lucky to have survived the disaster in the past, so we moved to "Shenwuzhong" and worked in "Taosha". Later, because of the cold heart of "Mokusuke" at that time, he quit his job and came to Mingshen Island..."

"In the past, I used to make a lot of money doing business in the outlying islands, but by my father's generation, there is nothing left except debts..."

"…"

It's very smooth to say, and it's rare for Abu, but the problem is... these are his family's affairs, and have nothing to do with the history of Crane View that Xia Xia and others want to know.

Hu Tao likes to hear about books. This Ah Fu stammered one after another, just like a storyteller, making her listen quietly and interestingly: "You remember the family history well! Did you record it with books?"

Being praised, Ah Fu was a little embarrassed, and touched his hair a little shyly, and because of the support of Walnut, his follow-up sentences became smoother. "

"Each generation tells the next generation what we've been through... by word of mouth."

"It seems that it was because the ancestors who left Heguan first said that they abandoned everything when they left, and the only reason why they left should never be forgotten..."

"My father, too, clings to the story of Heguan until his death. Since I was a child, he has always taken me to Heguan... It's a very gloomy place, with nothing but bad memories."

"Before my father died, he said that we are the last bloodline of the Heguan people. Although after so many years, the bloodline doesn't matter... It's not a prominent family like the Hiiragi family and the Kami family. There's only one boat."

"…"

This sentence is in line with the words heard in the festival square. The young man named "Aku" also said, "Someone should write down the affairs of our village."

Even if he finally chooses to leave Heguan, he still fulfills his promise to let future generations pass on the history of Heguan by word of mouth, although there will still be forgetting in the inheritance.

After listening to the story of the family, you should also ask the key points: "Why did your ancestor leave Heguan? Did you know about the disaster of Heguan?"

Afu shook his head and denied: "No, that disaster was unpredictable, and my ancestors didn't know why Thunderbird went mad... The reason why my ancestors chose to leave Heguan was because Thunderbird fell in love with a child at that time, so the high priest Decided to dedicate that child to Thunderbird."

Hu Tao frowned and thought: "The child that Thunderbird looks at must be "Ayu", but what does it mean to dedicate it to Thunderbird? "

"It means to dedicate it to the Thunderbird... Father didn't say it too clearly, but I think it means to perform a "blood sacrifice". "

Speaking of this, A Fu's eyes rarely showed a trace of pride, maybe it was because of this pride that he, who didn't care about history, was willing to pass on this memory: "Then, the ancestors really can't accept this kind of thing, I left, I originally wanted to leave with the child, but in the end, the other party seemed to stay voluntarily."

"…"

After Ah Kui said everything he knew, he didn't get a response.

The air was dead silent, except for the sound of the sea breeze and the mountain breeze in the distance, like the cry of a child, helpless and miserable.

In this way, everything makes sense, why does Aru say that he is the protagonist of the festival, why does he so desperately hope that the festival can be done well, why does he often say that he wants to prepare for the festival, why he did not start the festival memory after...

Everything flashed in his mind, as well as the pale whiteness of Aru lying on the altar in the center of the square and the blood flowing from the golden cup.

"Blood sacrifice" is something that Xia Xian knows, and it is written in many books. In the ancient times when the people's wisdom was not civilized, many tribes had such a tradition in order to beg for the protection of certain beliefs... Xia Xia is an educated modern People can't understand let alone accept it.

Tivat does not have advanced science, but is already relatively modern in thinking, and hardly sees the evil deeds that primitive people would do, and some only exist in history.

Seriously, Heguan is a remote civilization that died out for more than 2,000 years. On Earth, there must have been such "blood sacrifices" in Africa more than 2,000 years ago. This is not something to be surprised by.

It's not the history that makes Xia Xia shudder. No matter how many people Heguan has destroyed, no matter what the madness of Thunderbird is, it's just history that has passed. , can't touch the heart of summer at all.

But.

that kid.

Ah Ru, is not a simple and emotionless projection. In the past few days of contact, I can clearly feel his joy and sincerity. If he is also part of the phantom, he is also emotional, understands sadness, and is as innocent as an ordinary child. phantom.

It is a phantom with human nature and a real existence!

Because the ignorant clan wanted to beg for asylum, to make a child a victim, and Aru, who knew about it, willingly chose to accept...

Perhaps, he woke up one day and found that his home was gone, and found that all the clansmen could no longer speak to him. He thought it was his own reason that led to the failure of the festival... So, he repeated the process of the festival over and over again. I prepared for my funeral again and again, and felt the pain of the knife cutting through my skin and blood escaping my body over and over again.

Death, awakening, endless reincarnation.

A child who is not as young as an adult's arm is at the age of a flower, but what kind of **** has he experienced?

Chapter 778 Let's end the reincarnation!

Hu Tao often talks about death, and the image she gives to others seems to despise life and death, but in fact, she is sent to the soul, and she respects life more than anyone else.

People's life, old age, sickness and death are part of the natural cycle. Naturally, they should not be maliciously manipulated by people, and they should even use their lives to make so-called sacrifices. What's more, the rituals of Heguan kept repeating, causing Aru to be killed again and again. , as if someone was making fun of his death.

Those who are dying cannot rest in peace, and those who have died are prevented from reincarnation.

The smile couldn't bloom again, Walnut clenched his fists tightly, and the red plum blossom-shaped pupils seemed to have flames: "We must stop this festival! We can't let the people of Heguan offer Aru to Thunderbird, such ignorance. Killing is a desecration of life and death!"

So excited that he forgot the fact that everything he saw was just an illusion, Ying reached out and comforted: "Walnut, that's just a recurring image. Thousands of years have passed since the disaster that happened in Heguan."

As an ancient god, Ying is much calmer. She is not just imagining, but she and her sister have indeed seen such ritual rituals on some small islands when they subdued Rice Wife, and even more cruel killings.

However, because of the death of her sister and friends, she cherishes life far more than other emotions, and can understand Xia Xia and Hu Tao's anger at the meaningless deprivation of life.

"I know those are over, it's just..."

Hu Tao grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes. This was the first time she touched Ying's body. Electricity pierced through her whole body. If Hu Tao had a driving flame at this time, it would probably directly trigger the "overload" explosion.

"Sister Ying also saw it? Ayu is not a simple phantom, he is different from other projections..."

Hu Tao has no way of determining what kind of existence "Ayu" really is, but can only affirm it blindly: "Even if Ayu is a phantom, it has feelings, an existence that knows happiness and sadness, and every reenactment of the festival represents He has to suffer the pain of death, and we can't let this meaningless cycle continue!"

"Yeah." Ying's face was serious, she didn't answer politely, and really wanted to help the boy named "Aru".

Just, how to do it? All of these are just phantoms, even if they have thoughts and can communicate, they are still just phantoms... Even if the shadows have the unparalleled martial arts in the world, they have nowhere to go.

…

Another period of silence.

Hu Tao looked at Xia Xia without saying a word, and could only think of a way by himself.

"Although the "images of people" are memories from the past, the terrain does exist, right? Do those perches also exist? "

Qiuqiu and the ruins guards have only appeared in the last few hundred years, but when Hu Tao and Xia Xian went to worship the perch, they had clearly seen the troubled Qiuqiu and the ruins guards. This shows that the world from behind the stone door , not all of the past world, but a projection based on the current world.

The walnut ghost has many ideas, no matter whether it is useful or not, and whether it is outrageous or not, in short, I will put it forward first and then say: "Let's go and destroy the perch and stop the ritual of worship, the thunderbird will not come back, and the festival will not continue, Aru. It doesn't need to be treated as a sacrifice!"

It seems to be a method. Shadow, who was born in martial arts, didn't think much about it, and decided to take action: "I'll go and destroy the perch."

"Hey, wait—" Hu Tao pulled her back again, very worried: "But if this is the case, will it violate the meaning of reproducing the image? It's because the festival is not well organized, so Thunderbird will be angry... If we put If the perch is destroyed, isn't Thunderbird even more angry? That still won't solve Thunderbird's resentment! Maybe it will bring more disaster to Inaba."

For this, Ying is quite sure: "It doesn't matter, I will slash it again."

Indeed, it is assumed that the result of changing the projection will also change the history. Can't destroy the perch, let the Thunderbird strengthen the awakening, right?

"If the perch is destroyed, the festival will not continue, and Aru doesn't have to repeat the fate of death... Then the projections will all disappear, right? In this case, the thunder disaster of Qinglai Island and the black fog of Crane View may never be solved! "

Hu Tao covered his head and was really in a dilemma. He turned his eyes to the silent Xia Xia, and was just about to complain.

But looking at Xia Tian, ​​who was squatting on the ground, suddenly raised his head: "What are you talking about?"

The question is very strange. Did you think too deeply and didn't hear the content of the discussion, or did you deliberately want to hear it again?

Hu Tao blinked with puzzled eyes, and repeated obediently: "We are thinking about whether to destroy the festival, so that Aru doesn't have to continue to suffer..."

Xia Tian suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and stood up happily: "That's right! Destroy the festival!"

Hu Tao was frightened like a rabbit, rubbing his fleshy legs: "Oh! What are you doing!"

"Sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake." Xia Xia was too excited, and accidentally slapped the wrong leg, and said why the feel was different, so Q bounced.

He took the walnut into his arms again and praised like a child: "You are so smart!"

Being hugged so tightly that she couldn't breathe, Hu Tao blushed, but she didn't push it away in a hurry: "Won't Thunderbird get angrier then? Maybe its resentment will never be resolved."

"I figured it out!" Xia Xia restrained her emotions, faced the two girls, and asked, "Why do you think Thunderbird is angry?"

Hu Tao thought for a while and recalled the previous words: "Didn't you say before that since the leylines have been repeating the process of the festival, it must be that the festival was not done well, so you made Thunderbird angry?"

"good!"

Xia Xia snapped his fingers for sure, but Hu Tao was even more confused: "Not bad! You destroyed the festival, can the festival still be done? What can be solved?"

"Is it possible that the people of Heguan feel that a successful festival is a bad one for Thunderbird?"

"Um?"

The words were a bit twisted, so that Hu Tao and Ying failed to react immediately.

Although it's still just a guess, Xia Xia is already 70% sure, because it's too reasonable: "Generally speaking, even if the festival fails, Thunderbird won't have so much resentment, right? Even if Thunderbird has a bad temper, At most, the punishment was to destroy Heguan, but she suddenly went crazy and attacked Qinglai Island, right? She can communicate with Ayu, which means she has a certain wisdom, and it is impossible not to know that there are more A powerful enemy... Isn't that going to seek death? Do you think Thunderbird might go crazy to seek death because of the imperfect rituals that humans have prepared for her?"

There are a lot of words spoken at one time, and the two listening can't grasp the point: "Can you make it simpler?"

Xia Xia paused for a moment and used himself as an example: "Suppose one day, I was brutally killed by a group of people for no reason, and then the **** body appeared at your birthday party as a gift, what would you do?"

This assumption was asked of Hu Tao, but before Hu Tao showed his anger, Ying Ying said without hesitation: "I will definitely kill all those people!"

The murderous aura rose sharply, and there were thunderbolts all around, scaring Hu Tao, who had started to become angry after substituting in, sober: "Summer is just an analogy..."

"Sorry, I couldn't control my emotions." Yingmei glanced at Xia Xia with apologetic eyes, and then took back the killing intent that she had inadvertently released.

Xia Xia laughed, how strong the killing intent just now, it means how much Ying values ​​his friend, of course it is a happy thing.

Back on topic.

"Because I'm your friend, if I was killed inexplicably, and someone maliciously showed my **** corpse in front of you, normal people would be angry, right? If I have the ability, I naturally want to vent..."

"Then, think about it, Ayu said that she is friends with Thunderbird, and Thunderbird is even willing to let Ayu name her. I think it can be understood that Thunderbird values ​​Ayu very much."

"However, the Heguan tribe used Ayu's blood for sacrifices. Imagine, when Thunderbird returned to Heguan with joy and wanted to listen to Ayu's singing again, but what he saw was a cold, **** corpse... "

At this point, you can almost feel the anger.

Thinking humans would be outraged by this, let alone elemental creatures who were not intelligent enough to express their emotions more directly.

"Ayu died, so Thunderbird destroyed the crane view like a madman, and then went to destroy the adjacent island... Her resentment was not because she was unwilling to be killed by the shadow, but because she couldn't let go of Ayu's death."

"To change this utter tragedy, the bitter fruit of this lack of communication between man and his faith, we must destroy the ritual!"

"…"

Xia Xia's analysis was approved by Hu Tao and Ying, and the topic was not further developed because it was too pitiful.

The next thing to do is to wait for tomorrow to come.

...

...

This is the third time I have broken into the stone door, and everything has returned to the original time. The perch has not been enshrined, and the festival is still being prepared.

Also, Aru didn't appear on the stone at the door. He was standing next to "Grandpa You" in the square this time, with doubts on his face.

He thought that the reason why he kept failing was because of his involvement in the festival, so he hoped to get help from outsiders, but he didn't expect the kind-hearted brothers and sisters to fail the celebration... What is the reason?

Is it because you are too careless and forget some important process? It would be great if Dad... Grandpa could communicate, and Grandpa would definitely know what went wrong.

Standing next to Grandpa You, Aru tried to find the reason for the failure of the festival from the words that had been repeated thousands of times. Seeing Xia Xia and Hu Tao appearing at the door, he was happy to say hello, but he saw the two of them looking serious and facing each other. wood go...

What are your brothers and sisters doing?

Still in doubt, I heard the sound of the trees "clicking"... Then, the fog swept across the square, so thick that I couldn't see clearly, just like the middle of the night.

The projections of the Heguan people were also affected. Although they did not completely dissipate, they were much blurred, and some of them could not even see their appearance, turning into a transparent blue soul state.

A-Ru was startled and scared, and there was anger in the confusion.

He was all too familiar with Heguan, and even with his eyes closed, he could find the location of the perch, so he found Xia Xia and Hu Nuo.

Crying accusation: "Why...why do you do this? Originally, I thought that you were so good and so powerful... Also, you are different from the previous ones! You will come back to me and listen to me all the time, I thought "This time" the festival finally went smoothly...but...why do you do this! "

Hu Tao grabbed Ayu's shoulders and squatted down to look at him: "We want to stop the festival! This way you will be fine, we want to help Ayu!"

"That won't help me!" Aru couldn't understand the behavior of destroying the perch: "At the time of the festival, I don't know what went wrong. Originally, everything seemed to be going well... But, I actually woke up, Then I found that Heguan has become what it is now, and everyone has become very strange, can't see me, can't hear me..."

A-Ru has been alone for thousands of years. He has never talked to anyone about his inner panic. He always shows people with a smile. But now, his emotional fluctuations make it difficult for him to contain them.

"Ayu—" Hu Tao wanted to interrupt, and explained the reason, but was stopped by Xia Xia, and signaled to wait for Ayu to vent all the anguish in his heart: "Why does Ayu insist on repeating the ritual?"

Ayu wiped her tears, sometimes she really couldn't understand, such a clear existence was actually just a phantom created by the leylines: "Then, after a while, the island will be thundered, and it will become very terrifying. Gupina and Fengyue don't know how to thunder, so I will hide in those places and wait for the thunder to end..."

"But, after the thunder is over, things will go back to the way they were before, I'll wake up again, and then everyone will do the same thing again... Also, Capachiri is gone, and even Kananayama can't find it. she."

"So I think, there must be something wrong with the festival that made Capachili angry."
