Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

Those little slugs worked hard to repair Xiao's chest, and with the help of mucus, the wounds had already healed.

But Xiao still didn't wake up...

"Xiao, wake up quickly. The wounds have healed, it's okay. Everything is over! Wake up and let's go see the sea lanterns at the Sea Lantern Festival together!"

Paimon tried hard to shake Xiao, whose body was already cold, but there was no response. The traveler beside him stood there in a daze.

He is still the taciturn traveler who ultimately did not choose to save his own home at the expense of the world of others.

A big part of the reason is because there is someone like Xiao who forgets life and death and protects everyone. He really can't bear to abandon such a person who is in the darkness and looks to the light!

"Wuwu... Zhongli, please save Xiao!" Seeing the arrival of Zhongli, the god of Liyue, Paimeng immediately placed his last hope on him.

He begged the God with tears and snot to use his magic to revive Xiao.

Zhongli just looked at Xiao sadly again, then walked forward and held Xiao's small hand for a long time, unable to let go. Zhongli knew very well that he would never wake up again...

Even if he was as strong as he was, he would not have the magical power to bring the dead back to life. If Zhongli were alive, he would not have witnessed the death of Guizhong, Heulia, Minghai Qixia Zhenjun... and countless old friends.

Are they going to create another walking corpse like Qiqi like the immortals did?

Qiqi has an extreme obsession with life, and as for Xiao, he is really suffering too much...

Yaksha was born to fight and kill, sharing life and death. Since he chose to kill Fushe himself, Xiao couldn't escape unscathed.

Even if he lives, he will continue to be tormented by karma and nightmares, so let him sleep. Sleeping in the abyss with his dearest brother may be the best destination for Xiao.

"Life is like a dream, and parting is painful. The impermanence of the world has brought so much hatred. Paimeng, Xiao has gone..."

"No! No! When the lecherous sage was dying, even his soul dissipated. But he was still saved by Naruto!

That’s right, you lecherous sage! Use your summoning technique to summon Naruto!”

Paimon immediately pleaded with Jiraiya again, but Jiraiya did not move. In desperation, he flew forward and grabbed Jiraiya's fingers and tried to form seals.

But on the other side, knowing that it was useless, Zhongli stomped his feet lightly on the ground. Then two stone coffins rose up under Xiao and Fushe.

The stone coffin was solemn and majestic, with ancient and exquisite patterns engraved on it. If there weren't two of them, everyone would have suspected that this was prepared by Zhongli for himself.

So, Zhongli is a guest in Hu Tao's Hall of the Dead. Is it possible that he is alone and has been carving inscriptions and sarcophagi for those old friends?

As the two men lay in the sarcophagus, Zhongli, who was honored as the King of Rock, was the first to kneel on the muddy ground for Xiao and Fushe, and even kowtowed three times on the ground without any airs.

It seemed that due to the effect of the sarcophagus, the soil and Fushe's body merged into one, and it created a lifelike image of Fushe when he was alive.

Then Zhongli washed his hands with clean water, covered Xiao and Fushe's bodies with two pieces of white cloth, and took off their clothes.

Some used a piece of clean and tidy fine silk to wipe their bodies, tidy up their faces, and put on makeup for burial...

Every step was taken by the Emperor himself. His skilled movements were heart-breaking to watch. His dignified and solemn expression was even more than that of the head of the Wangsheng Hall.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that death was inevitable. They knelt in front of the sarcophagus with sad faces and silently watched Zhongli perform various funeral rites.

Burning incense, praying, kneeling, offering food (almond tofu)... every step of the emperor was more perfect than the most experienced actor. There was no omission during the process.

After everything was done, Zhongli used his magical powers to transform into eight diamond statues, which carried the coffins weighing dozens of tons on their shoulders, and walked out with a trembling step.

Paimon wanted to stop them, but was pushed back by Jiraiya and the Traveler.

It's painful. Could it be that the thousands of years of feelings between Zhongli and Xiao are less painful than your friendship of just a few years?

Now all they could do was to say goodbye... and follow the sarcophagus step by step out of the dark rock abyss.

Above the abyss, it was already dusk. The afterglow of the sun was like blood spilling on the earth. Even the afterglow was enough to make my eyes hurt.

How familiar was this scene to Uchiha Madara? It seemed like it happened not long ago, yet it also seemed like it happened a thousand years ago. He had also seen this scene before.

The island in the sky rained down pumice stones to be sent to the island in the sky.

Eight diamond statues carried the bodies of Xiao and Fushe up there.

“Zhongli, why did you place Xiao and Fushe here? Shouldn’t they be sent back to Liyue’s Hall of the Dead and buried somewhere else?”

Paimon asked in confusion, the tears in his eyes still unwiped.

But Zhongli just shook his head and said: "Yakshas are burdened with karma, and the karma that overflows after their death will hurt people. It is not appropriate to hold a large memorial service for them.

That's it... Let them go to Sky Island and continue to watch over Liyue, the city we created!"

Can't even hold a memorial service? Paimeng couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.

Jiraiya stroked Paimon's head and said, "That's it, maybe it would be better for the people not to tell them about Xiao's death.

Let the people keep the legend of the Great Saint who conquered demons!"

Looking at the floating stone flying back to Sky Island, Paimon nodded heavily. Xiao's sea lantern and this beautiful world will continue to be protected by them!

After returning to Liyue, the days passed quickly. A few days later, Orochimaru disappeared without a trace again without a word.

Since he was Orochimaru, everyone was not worried about him getting into trouble. Instead, they were worried about him running off to cause trouble.

Uchiha Madara often teased some puppies on the street corners, as if everything was settled. Then, out of boredom, he suddenly, in public,

He summoned the complete form of Susanoo and flew towards Inazuma. Just by taking off, he overturned several stalls and houses.

The patrolling Keqing looked helpless, and she even cursed? She was only staying for a few days, but Uchiha Madara and the others had caused her a lot of trouble!

In normal days, too much of a peaceful life would be boring or even disgusting. However, for people like Jiraiya who live on the edge of a knife.

How unbearable and precious it is.

"This is the sea lantern that Xiao the Immortal likes the most!" A woman who had been protected by Xiao was passing the sea lantern in her hand to her child.

Even in the era of human rule, we still remember the arduous journey of the immortals. As the first Kongming lantern rises high in the night.

Liyue's most important festival - the Lantern Festival! It's finally here!
