Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

Hundreds of years ago, there was a huge ship moving on the sea. It was so big that it could accommodate a small town. People called it Guining Bay.

Guining Bay was created by the Demon God Du, specifically to relieve people who were displaced due to the war between the Demon Gods on the earth. He provided shelter for everyone, and people naturally believed in him.

The demon god was very friendly to the people. He ate the most common food and wore coarse cloth clothes.

No one knows the name of this Demon God of Crossing, but everyone affectionately calls him Captain, and children call him Big Brother.

As for the Guzhou Inn, it is only a small part of Guining Bay, but it is also an important part.

Fishermen often go to sea. Although everyone has rich experience, they cannot withstand the changes in the sea, so shipwrecks often occur.

The mission of the Guzhou Inn is to leave Guining Bay and go to the sea to rescue those who are in shipwreck. If they want to go home, the Guzhou Inn will take them to the shore; if they are homeless, they can go to Guining. I want to find a place where I can settle down and live my life.

At that time, it was not a means of transportation to the land of paradise. It had no singing and dancing, no feasting, and it looked very ordinary.

But it is the morning star on the sea and a walking lighthouse. It illuminates the way to survive for those who encounter danger at sea.

The dead soul in front of me is named Han Lin, and he was once one of the people who managed the ancient boat inn for the ship owner.

Likewise, he was also the one saved by the Ancient Boat Inn.

He was once just an ordinary fisherman on the shore. That day when he went out to sea, a strong wind suddenly arose on the sea. The waves stirred up by the wind were so high that his boat was knocked over in the sea.

He struggled hard holding a piece of wood, thinking he would die, but he saw a huge ship coming towards him through the thick fog.

He thought it was a hallucination before his death, until a man flew into the sea, carried him and flew back to the ship.

The moment he stepped onto the boat, he realized that this was not a dream, this was truly being saved.

And the man who saved him was the captain.

After that, Hanlin's parents lived in Guining Bay, and Hanlin voluntarily stayed at the Guzhou Inn to repay the shipowner for saving his life.

From then on, he and a dozen other people who were also favored by the ship owner stayed at the Ancient Boat Inn to manage it for the ship owner.

The boat owner also has more time to rest in Guining Bay.

The days at the Guzhou Inn can be said to be the happiest time in Han Lin's life.

Everyone here, no matter where they came from or where they are going back, their daily job is to stare at the patrol compass and save people in danger at sea.

When everything is safe, they will gather with the guests in the inn.

The stage downstairs was not originally performed by dancers, but by guests, or their managers.

During the gathering, they would draw lots, and the one they drew would perform on the stage, either reciting poetry, singing or dancing. If they didn't know how to do anything, they would roll around a few times to add to the fun.

All in all, everyone is living happily here.

Everyone is an actor, and everyone is a spectator. No one is higher than anyone else, and no one is lower than anyone else.

Days like that are like a true paradise.

However, everything changed after they rescued a woman who had fallen into the water.

Having said this, Hanlin let out a long sigh. He looked through the window into the distance with sadness in his eyes, as if he had seen the past.

When the woman arrived, everything was considered harmonious at first. She was good at singing and dancing, and brought a lot of laughter to the Guzhou Inn.

But on the day we approached Guining Bay, real darkness fell.

She got on the boat and threw fireworks into the sky. She said they were brought from the earth and that everyone would set off fireworks to celebrate every festival.

Unexpectedly, there was a signal hidden in the fireworks, and the fireworks attracted two demons.

At that time, the captain fought with the two demons for seven days and nights.

In order to protect the people on Guining Bay from evacuating, he delayed it for seven days with one against two.

In fact, if he had not protected the people on Guining Bay, he could have escaped. At that time, many people chose to jump into the sea and commit suicide in order to allow the ship owners to escape with peace of mind.

But he finally stayed for those who were not willing to die and held on for seven days.

But in the end, those who escaped were captured by the two demon gods, and the seven days he held on became meaningless.

As for Hanlin, he and more than a dozen others were guarding the Guzhou Inn. They should have been the group with the best chance of escaping.

But in the end, they chose to stay at the inn, and they would guard this mobile lighthouse on the sea for the ship owner until their death.

The final result can be imagined. None of the more than ten inn managers were spared, and they all died under their lighthouse.

When they woke up later, they didn't know how many years had passed. Everyone who had been drinking and having fun had become lonely ghosts in the Guzhou Inn.

Initially, they wanted to find the owner of the boat.

In the battle of Guining Bay, the captain was seriously injured and had no strength to stand up. At that time, they thought the captain was dead.

But now, the Guzhou Inn is still there.

Han Lin once heard the ship owner mention that the ship could sail without fear of wind, rain and erosion on the sea because of the support of the ship owner's divine power.

The ship is still sailing now, so they firmly believe that the owner must still be alive.

But they searched the boat but could not find the owner. Therefore, they firmly believed that the owner must have found the right opportunity to escape.

But they couldn't leave the ship.

It is said that wherever the body is, they will remain.

So the mission of these more than ten people changed from looking for the ship owner to looking for their own bodies.

After many years like this, many people gave up, they let go of their obsessions, and their souls disappeared.

In the end, only Hanlin was left holding on...

"Why are you persisting?" Wendy asked puzzledly, "Doing the same thing over and over again for hundreds of years can be described as torture. You will have hope at first, but it will inevitably be worn away later. , what keeps you persisting?”

"It's guilt..." Hanlin smiled bitterly, "I promised the ship owner that I would guard the ship, but in the end, because I saved the woman, I killed everyone in Guining Bay and also caused misery to the ship owner, so I To find the body so I can get off the ship and find him and give him a proper apology..."

Hearing what he said, Wendy looked at him with a hint of respect and distress.

"Then you have been on the ship for many years. Do you know anything about the Land of Elysium?" Wendy continued to ask.

Hanlin nodded.

This ship later traveled between the sea and the land of bliss.

He couldn't leave the ship, and naturally he didn't know what the Land of Paradise looked like.

But whenever they get close to the so-called paradise place, the woman will come out and kill everyone, and the bodies will be carried away by the crew on the ship.

After all the bodies have been removed and the boat has been cleaned, they will continue to pick up people.

Speaking of this, Hanlin clenched his sleeves, with a mixture of sadness and anger in his voice: "This is a lighthouse in the sea, this is a ship leading to hope! But it is used by them to lead to a dead end, it is simply too much! If How heartbroken it would be for the captain to know!"

Looking at his appearance, Wendy frowned and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

He was always eloquent, but now he didn't know how to comfort her.

After all, it has become a fact. All they can do is destroy the Land of Paradise and deal with the two demon gods, but those who have passed away will never come back.

At this time, Zhongli, who had been silent, came to the sad and angry soul: "We will find your body for you, so that you can find your ship owner with peace of mind, don't worry."

Hearing this, Hanlin took two steps back excitedly, saluted seriously to Wendy and Zhongli, and thanked them deeply.

"There is nothing to repay in this life. If there is an afterlife..."

Before he finished speaking, Wendy stopped him and said with a smile: "The information you provided is very precious, this is already the most valuable."
