Chapter 968: Shen He's Childhood Story

"What are you two doing?"

A sudden voice startled Ying and Paimon.

"Wow! Yes..." Paimeng said halfway, covered his mouth, and looked at Master Liuyunjiefeng who suddenly appeared here. Didn't he say he was going to the experimental mechanism to cook the divine machine? Why did he come back suddenly?

"We...well, we..." Ying couldn't think of an excuse for a moment, looking at the bones of the big chicken drumstick in her hand, "We are just eating the chicken drumstick."

"Yeah! I'm just eating chicken legs!" She said seriously.

"Haha! Am I so easily fooled?" True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng glanced at Ying and said, "Forget it, follow me!"

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and followed.

"You should understand the relationship between Shen He and Jiang Yi." Liu Yunjiefeng Zhenjun's words prompted a sudden idea to Ying's mind.

I will give you 500 million Moras, and leave my disciple.

No! If you really want me to leave, you have to pay me more!

Ying shook her head vigorously to get rid of this outrageous idea.

"Yeah!" Paimeng nodded repeatedly. Master Liuyun Jiefeng often told stories about Jiang Yi's experiences. She naturally knew that in the dream trial, Shen He and Jiang Yi supported each other and went through their lifelong friendship.

"Don't make a fuss. They have lived together in my dreams countless times." Master Liuyun Jiefeng said, "Disciple Jiang Yi is a gentleman."

"..." Ying and Paimon laughed. What expression should they use at this time?

In the dream, weren't Jiang Yi and Shen He both children at first? It's just that Shen He didn't grow up, while Jiang Yi was gradually growing up.

……

"Master is here." Shen He spoke in the room.

"That's it... Whose story is she going to start?" Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and lay on the bed. He was done with it, so he just pretended that he didn't know that the chatty Zhenjun was coming.

"Well... maybe... mine?" Shen He hesitated for a moment, and her intuition told her that the conversation with her master later would be related to her.

……

"Do you know the origin of the exorcism dagger mentioned in the conversation between Jiang Yi and Shen He?" Master Liuyun Jiefeng took Ying and Paimeng to a remote woodland outside the house.

Ying and Paimon shook their heads.

“Haha!” True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng became interested, “The exorcist dagger… When I first saw her, she was holding that dagger in her hand.”

"I picked up Shen He in a cave. I happened to pass by at that time and noticed the smell of the remains of the demon god in the cave. I have always been vigilant and immediately went in to check."

"Shen He in the cave is about six years old, holding a dagger in his hand, and confronting a monster transformed from the remains of the demon." There was a look of reminiscence in her crane eyes.

Ying showed a look of surprise, and Paimeng touched his chin; "This dangerous scene seems to be somewhat similar to the first scene of Jiang Yi's dream trial."

"Of course!" said Master Liuyun Jiefeng, "At the beginning, Jiang Yi wanted to exchange the 'Demon Subduing Wish' for the three secrets of the immortal family, so this immortal naturally used 'Demon Subduing' to test him. Let him know clearly what it means to be powerless and what it means to be the remnant of a demon god."

"If you want to save all the demons and gods by yourself, then show me your will, determination and potential."

Ying recalled what happened back then: "At that time, Jiang Yi was an ordinary child in the dream..."

"Why, do you want to say it's too cruel or unfair? But the devil hates... something that maintains fairness, something that is merciful?" said True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, "When an immortal accepts a disciple, he will set a test. Jiang Yi's test was set by himself, but it is not the path we chose. Since we have decided to go this way, we must walk it clearly."

“It takes an extraordinary person to be an immortal disciple, otherwise wouldn’t all living beings be able to learn the ways of immortality?” The feathers of Master Liuyun Jiefeng moved with the wind.

Ying said nothing.

"Most mortal children are physically and mentally fragile and rely on their parents' protection to survive." Master Liuyun Jiefeng said, "Although Jiang Yi is an adult, the peace in his hometown has shaped his ideas. If he cannot experience the real crisis and desperate situation as an ordinary person, he will never be able to understand the life and death of the mortal world and be fearless to maintain his original heart."

"Strength is easy to gain, but the mind is hard to cultivate. If Jiang Yi only had strength but no mind, he would have turned into a great demon in the face of the hatred and attack from the remaining demons. In other words, he would not have formed a bond with us, nor would he have gone to save the remaining demons."

"Let's get back to the topic." Master Liuyun Jiefeng shook his head and said slowly.

"At that time, Shen He was only a little kid. When I arrived, he had been confronting the monster for several days. He showed his difference from ordinary children."

Paimon exclaimed.

Both the senior sisters and brothers are extraordinary!

In the dark sky, the wind blew the black clouds, which looked like ghosts.

Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun looked up at the sky.

"Shen He was forced to face it. Facing such a dangerous situation, she was able to survive. It was not only because of her strong willpower, but also because of her innate bloodiness and murderous intent."

In Teyvat, the power of these emotions can also be transformed into real weapons.

She sighed. If she had a choice, she actually hoped that her disciples would not have to go through these hardships.

"Alas... After I got rid of that monster, Shen He refused to let me go. She pointed the dagger at me and kept on guard. She fainted without saying a word until she was sure that I would not hurt her."

Paimon scratched his head: "That is to say, if you hadn't passed by..."

"That may not be the case. When I arrived at the scene, I could already feel the devil's resentment was gradually dissipating. If the stalemate continues, Shen He will probably be the winner." said True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng.

"Why did Shen He encounter the remnants of the demon god alone? At such a young age?" Ying asked in confusion. Didn't his parents go looking for him?

"Perhaps Shen He... has also suffered some of the hardships in this world!" Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not seem to want to say more about this matter.

Instead, he said, "Other countries use astrology to sense destiny, while in Liyue, people use divination to sense destiny."

"In fortune-telling, there are two kinds of 'fates' that people avoid. One is the fate of loneliness, which means that relatives and friends will be separated and you will be lonely for life. The other is the fate of disasters, which means that you will have many disasters and a dangerous life."

Paimon scratched his head at this fate.

"So..." Ying said.

“True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang divined for Shen He and said that she was a lonely star with a calamity. She was both a lonely star and a calamity star, and had a very murderous nature. It was a very bad fate that would hurt others and herself, and was rare in a thousand years.” True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng said, “In the battle against the devil’s resentment, the fierceness, bloodiness, and indomitable spirit that dormant in Shen He’s fate all burst out at that moment.”

The last time Paimeng heard of this rare opportunity was when Chongyun had a pure yang body that was feared by all evil spirits.

"Shen He is surrounded by evil spirits and is likely to hurt her relatives and friends. This immortal took her in when he saw that she had nowhere to go. Shen He has a special physique and is a good candidate for practicing immortal arts. This immortal and other immortals cherish her talent and are willing to teach her." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng's tone softened, as if he was thinking of some good times.

"In order to ensure that she grew up safely and did not harm innocent people, the immortals used the red string to bind her soul to control the murderous nature in her blood. However, the murderous nature she had shown since childhood did not disappear with age, and even increased day by day..."

Ying thought about it and seemed not to see it.

Although Shen He is a little cold, he doesn't look murderous!

"Haha!" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun looked at Ying's expression and probably knew what she was thinking. "I have no choice but to add more red ropes to Shen He as she grows older to suppress her murderous nature."

"But after being tied with a red rope, Shen He calmed down and looked a little dull..."

"Perhaps it's because the red string is so powerful that it suppresses other emotions."

Paimon also felt that this description was wrong.

"Do you think Shen He looks easy to talk to?" Master Liuyun Jiefeng said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Ying and Paimon nodded.

"From the first time I met her until... before the dream trial, Shen He's personality has always been unique." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said, "She is ignorant of worldly affairs, does not understand common sense, does not know the difference between beans and millet, and does not know high and low. She always has only one very direct method to solve problems."

"At the beginning, Shen He happened to hear Jiang Yi's words about conquering demons, and perhaps her memory was triggered, so she watched Jiang Yi's training. In the end, she probably had different thoughts for the first time because of Jiang Yi's behavior." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said, "She abruptly asked to train together."

"At that time, Jiang Yi had already passed the first test, so I thought, why not give it a try and see if this person from another world can resist Shen He's fate power and get along with Shen He."

"Simply go with the flow and let Shen He vent his fateful evil spirit in the dream trial, and guide Jiang Yi's trial with me."

Ying and Paimeng's mouths twitched. The disaster of loneliness affected relatives and friends, so Jiang Yi was so miserable when he met Shen He in the dream trial.

"I see you seem to have been to the cave of True Lord Minghai Qixia. True Lord Minghai Qixia is good at finding treasures, and I am good at making treasures. I use this mechanism that strengthens the power of the immortal art and other precious materials to train the soul and the mind of the user." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said this with satisfaction.

"This is 'A Dream of Yellow Millet'... I'm sure you've heard of this term, Liyue."

Ying nodded; "I first heard about it from Tea Doctor Liu Su..."

Liyue's idioms all have allusions, and this Huangliang Dream is related to immortals. It is a metaphor for illusory dreams and unattainable desires.

"This dream, a lifetime experience, unexpectedly turned into mutual guidance between Jiang Yi and Shen He, which gradually restored Shen He's suppressed emotions. Senior sister and brother support each other and can rely on each other."

Master Liuyunjiefeng sighed: "This is how Shen He was created, who now looks like a normal person."

Death is inevitable, and disaster is coming... As Shen He gets along with the lifeless Jiang Yi, his future may change slightly.

Paimon nodded: "I think I understand what you mean by Shen He used to only have a very direct way to solve problems."

"I understand too." Ying nodded.

Jiang Yi in the story seems to enjoy Shen He's direct "care" from time to time.

If there is a disagreement, just start fighting.
