Chapter 648 Home and Destination, Heart Cultivation, Can You Become My Family?

"The flower buds have grown again." Jiang Yi squatted down, "It hasn't been long since I last picked them."

"Hmm?" Ganyu looked at the junior brother who only knew how to eat, eat, and eat, but had not gained weight. "Last time you picked?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yi said as a matter of course, "As the saying goes, if you want to travel far, you need to bring plenty of food from home."

"I thought that after I came down the mountain, it might be difficult for me to return to Yunjian in a short time, so I picked all the Qingxin nearby."

"If mortals ask for it, I have told an immortal to guide them to look for Qingxin outside Jueyunjian, or wait for a while."

Ganyu lowered her eyes and touched her hungry stomach.

"So... no wonder..."

"I went up the mountain every time in the past few days, but I didn't find a grown Qingxin plant. I can only eat sweet flowers."

She looked at Jiang Yi with her purple eyes.

"Jiang Yi, do you think this is your home?"

After saying this, Ganyu instantly regretted it and waved her hands.

"No, no! I didn't deny that this is not your home..."

She remembered that Jiang Yi was a stranger, who came to this world all alone and helpless, without any friends he knew. He seemed strong and brave on the surface, but he felt extremely alienated in his heart. Even though he had made many friends, it was difficult to hide his true loneliness.

When it comes to loneliness, he may be more lonely than me.

He still has the chance to choose the human world or the cloudless world, but he no longer has the chance to find his hometown or Teyvat.

Because home is hard to find.

"Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, thinking about family every holiday season."

Ink words on white paper, blurred by water marks. The poem Jiang Yi wrote in the study room of Yujingtai during the Chinese New Year made Gan Yu silent when she saw it for the first time.

Poetry is used to express emotions. Seeing the heart in the poem is like seeing the person. Looking at the moon, one sighs.

Jiang Yi thinks this is home, which is something to be happy about. If it can make her feel at ease, it would be fine to take away more peace of mind.

"Yes!"

"Jueyunjian is my home, Mondstadt is my home, and Liyue Harbor is also my home." Jiang Yi lay down on a mountain peak in Huaguanglin.

"They gave me warmth, they gave me help, they gave me... the time to show my weakness at some point, and they also gave me arms to support my soul. Naturally... they are my home."

“Home is where my heart is.”

"I picked all the pure hearts in this Jueyunjian, and I am afraid that I won't be able to eat the delicious food at home if I travel far away like a student."

"But after I became like an immortal, I realized that my magical powers allowed me to walk around homes in different places, walk around different rooms in my home, and see my elders and family members."

"I refuse Yunjian..."

Jiang Yi smiled and raised the Qingxin in his hand, "It's just that at some point I felt that the Qingxin picked in Jueyunjian would taste better when eaten in Jueyunjian."

"A teacher is like a father. It is rare, rare to eat to one's heart's content in front of an elder!"

Ganyu stared at the handfuls of Qingxin.

It turns out that these were all picked by Jue Yunjian...but eating them in just one day, isn't that too tempting, too cruel, and too sinful?

Originally these...were all...mine.

No, no! How could I think like that?

I think I am an elder.

She sat down next to the lying Jiang Yi, hugging her knees with her hands.

"Home!" Gan Yu looked confused. Jiang Yi had found his home, so why was she still in pain, still hesitating, not knowing where her destination was.

She suddenly felt a little envious of Jiang Yi's inner clarity.

Gan Yu turned her head to look at Jiang Yi, who was lying on the grass, chewing Qingxin and looking at the sky.

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said that Jiang Yi has attained immortality in another world.

He is not called the True Lord, but the True Man.

The life span is long, and we can seek the truth together for endless years.

"Jiang Yi, why do you want to be an immortal so much?"

"I have seen many immortal seekers who seek wealth, fame, and power. Mortals wanting to become immortals is a very common idea in Liyue, but they don't know that the immortals in Liyue are different from what they think. Immortals will not fulfill their wishes, and immortality cannot be achieved through practice."

"Those who seek immortality and become disciples, those who enter the Jueyunjian immortal path, except during the period of the Demon God War, when the immortals opened the immortal gates, taught immortal arts to all without distinction of race and foreign countries, and resisted disasters. You are the only one who entered the Jueyunjian by seeking immortality and becoming disciples."

"Shen He, the immortal saw his will, which was rare and precious, so he took the initiative to accept him as a disciple."

"Yaoyao, Xiangling, was also accepted as a disciple by the immortal because his personality was similar to mine."

"When faced with someone asking for help from them, the immortals will simply refuse."

"Because seeking immortality and satisfying desires are no longer in line with the way of immortals."

Jiang Yi looked at the sun in the sky.

"Because the world is changing, I was able to enter the Immortal Gate by chance."

"The door opens a crack, the world envelops my life, with a heart of Tao, I push the door open and enter the room, grasping the chance of immortality."

"This is a special situation brought about by my special identity. It is also because I have proved that I have the will to control my mind that I have obtained the door to immortality."

"When I sought immortality, it seems now that I did not seek powerful magic. Otherwise, I would have killed Shen He when I faced the first human flower, severing the relationship between the senior sister and the junior brother, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice."

"I am not seeking immortality, otherwise I would have secretly taken the elixir under the test of my master, and used the magic of the devil to devour people's lives on the eve of death."

"I'm just begging."

"Please grant me the unfulfilled wish of becoming an immortal. Please grant me the path to immortality that I believe in. I cannot bear to tarnish the beauty of the path to immortality..."

"This is my Dao Heart recognized by the immortals."

"I will never change for thousands of years, and my character will not degenerate due to wear and tear."

He smiled and looked at Ganyu.

"Why do you think I want to be an immortal? Because immortals represent beauty! And when something is beautiful, we naturally want to cherish it and want to get close to it."

"And in my heart, immortals are not only beautiful, but can also preserve beauty."

"It is beautiful to have an everlasting face, it is beautiful to save the world and save lives, it is beautiful to seal up withered flowers, to make withered flowers bloom again, and to freeze the falling snowflakes in the air."

A moment becomes eternity.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "People grow old, get sick and die. They are trapped in countless shackles and choices. They are constantly running for fame and fortune."

"And the immortals are free and unfettered."

"Today, I missed the mountains in Jueyun, so I went to the mountains. Today, I missed the human world, so I went to the human world."

"The journey is long in the eyes of ordinary people. I don't care about the dangers of wolves, tigers, leopards, monsters and robbers."

"I can relax alone or hang out with friends, it's up to me."

"In my hometown, those who are born with supernatural powers are called gods, and those who become supernatural powers through practice are called immortals."

"Playing in the mortal world, living in seclusion, the immortals do as they please and live as they please... You can be a mortal for a hundred years, or you can be an immortal for a hundred years, it's up to you."

"The best thing about being an immortal is that you can freely choose the life you want."

"Just like Liyue has staple foods, rice and noodles. You can eat them alone, eat noodles alone, or eat rice and noodles together."

"or……"

Jiang Yi took off the Qingxin petals.

"My staple foods are the pure heart of Jueyunjian and the sweet flowers of Renjian."

"Does it mean that if I eat Qingxin, I can't eat Tiantianhua?"

"If I eat sweet flowers, can't I eat pure hearts?"

"Since your diet is made up of Qingxin and Tiantianhua, you shouldn't give up any of them. Otherwise, you will feel very uncomfortable."

"Sister, the crowds and the peaks are actually your destination."

"You are a half-immortal. You are not a human, nor a Qilin. You are a hybrid of a Qilin and a human. You have many options to choose from. You can have them all."

"Will the immortals despise you? Will mortals despise you?"

“Balance between eating rice and noodles, eating pure heart and sweet flowers, don’t let yourself get sick of them.”

"If you feel lonely eating alone..."

Jiang Yi handed over the Qingxin in his hand: "I can eat with you. I can even compete with you for it."

"In this way, when I am by your side, watching the clouds in the Cloudless Sky, it is not the loneliness of one person. Walking in the sea of ​​people in Liyue Harbor is not the loneliness of one 'non-human thing'."

"Your loneliness in Jueyunjian is that you have no friends. Your loneliness in the crowd is that you think you are special and will be rejected by others."

“But do they really reject you?”

"In the novel Strange Stories, there are stories about people and foxes, people and cats, people and ghosts, people and unicorns, people and phoenixes, people and fairy deer... People actually have a good impression of 'non-human things', especially when the other party is cute and beautiful enough."

"Otherwise, how did those special creatures with cat ears, dog ears, unicorn horns, deer horns, and half-human, half-demon, and half-immortal appear?"

"They have always been able to accept 'inhuman things' that do no harm to people."

Qingxin, filled with the elegant floral fragrance, was placed next to Ganyu's lips.

At the same time, Jiang Yi's words floated into his ears.

"Senior Sister, do you think I can be your friend and watch the clouds and the sea with you?" Jiang Yi's eyes were reflected in the fairy beast that lowered its head.

The wind blows over the top of the mountain, swaying my pure heart.

The warm sunshine was shining, and the chill in the mountains was reduced by a third.
