Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

"But how should I tell my son?"

Walnut said with some embarrassment.

From the story just told, it is not difficult to guess that the owner of the corpse is Hibiki, the chief priest of Asase Shrine, whom Neko had been waiting for.

But now the corpse is right in front of her and she can't escape even if she wants to. She can't just bury Asase Hibiki's body and leave. That's not in line with Kurumi's code of conduct.

"elder brother……"

Seeing the pleading look in Hu Tao's eyes, Nan Dou agreed.

"I understand. Take her body back. A dream must end someday, and we can't let Qinzi wait for another five hundred years."

With no other choice, Nandou no longer cared about it. She had no connection with Asase Hibiki, but she had a good relationship with Neko.

Just for the sake of this bow, help her this time.

Nandou carefully put away Asase Hibiki's body, called Yuyu, and returned to Asase Shrine with Kurumi again.

"Flying Thunder Vibration String..."

This bow has its own name engraved on it. It is a famous bow. Like Nan Dou’s sword, it is a reward from General Lei Dian.

But compared to Nan Dou's sword, this bow is the real treasure.

According to the ratings in the game, Nan Dou's sword is at most 4.5 stars, while the Thunder String is a real 5-star weapon!

From this we can see how much Konbumaru is valued by Tengu and General Raiden, and how he received so many rewards as a mere human being.

By the way, the Kirigiri in Kombumaru's hand is actually the prototype of the five-star one-handed sword Kirigiri no Huiguang in the game. If the Kirigiri is broken into pieces, the remaining fragments can be used to hit each other to make Kirigiri no Huiguang. Even this is still a five-star sword, which shows how excellent its prototype is.

Nan Dou gently pulled the bowstring, and an arrow made of thunder element crackled and gradually took shape.

"Oh!"

"boom!"

Nan Dou released the bowstring, and the lightning arrow made a roar, turning into a flash of lightning and flew into the sky.

"I didn't expect that after five hundred years, this bow wouldn't have seen much wear and tear..."

Nan Dou felt a feeling from the Flying Thunder Vibrating String that was completely different from ordinary weapons.

There is a subtle connection between this bow and the heaven and earth of Teyvat.

"A five-star weapon, blessed by the rules of the world of Teyvat, with the nourishment of powerful force, its durability will last forever."

"At the same time, because it is closely connected to the world of Teyvat, its users will be greatly strengthened when using the gathered elemental power."

"It's really hard to imagine how the Kirigiri in Kombumaru's hand broke back then."

Nan Dou looked at the Flying Thunder Vibrating String in his hand and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Five-star weapons are powerful weapons that can be used by demons in fights. Of course, the stronger the strength, the more blessings the weapons can receive, and the power they can exert is also completely different.

It's like the Staff of Homa. Hu Tao could use it to burn down a Hall of the Dead, but if it falls into Nandou's hands, just one wave would engulf half of Liyue Harbor in flames.

"Unfortunately, after leaving Teyvat, without the blessing of the world's laws, its power has been greatly weakened."

Zhu Xi on Nan Dou's body quickly formed a bow in his hand that looked exactly like the vibrating bow of Fei Lei. When Nan Dou pulled the bowstring, the power was almost the same.

Zhu Xi was rarely influenced by the different worlds.

To put it in the words of the cultivation novels, Zhu Xi is Nan Dou's natal magic weapon, and its power is only linked to his strength.

Soon, the two finally returned to Asase Shrine.

"Ah Xiang is back...?!"

The two had just landed and were still hesitating about how to explain to Qinzi when they heard Qinzi's voice coming from afar.

Nan Dou was stunned for a moment, then his expression became calm.

When Qinzi got closer, she found that it was Nandou and Hutao. Both of them looked not very well. Anxiously, she followed the familiar scent and finally locked her sights on the wrapped thing in front of the two people.

"This is……?"

Seeing that Neko was calmer than he had imagined, Nandou gently lifted the cloth wrapped around Asase Hibiki's body.

Neko's eyes changed slightly, and she walked carefully to the side of Asase Hibiki's body, gently rubbing her sleeve with her head: "Ah Hibiki, you're finally back."

"I forgot you were a human, but it's good to be back. This is our home."

Nandou and Kurumi watched in silence as Neko talked to herself for a long time beside Asase Hibiki's body.

Finally, Qinzi raised his head and said, "Nandou, I want to ask you a favor..."

"Please help me bury Ah Xiang."

Nandou agreed decisively, and together with Kurumi and accompanied by Neko, held a funeral for the deceased priestess.

The shrine maiden Hibiki Asase was buried under the big tree behind the shrine, and the cats on the island came to see her off.

"and many more……"

After the funeral was over, Qinzi suddenly called out to the two people who were about to leave.

Soon, Qinzi ran in front of the two of them with something in his mouth.

Nandou reached out to take it, looking at the Kagura bell in his hand with some surprise.

"This was Ah Xiang's favorite thing. Now that she's gone, it's no longer useful. Why not just give it to you guys?"

"I heard that Xiang used to study at the Narugami Taisha Shrine. If you want to go there, maybe this thing will be helpful to you."

Qinzi explained seriously.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Walnut said with some concern.

"Me? I've been in the shrine since I was born. This is my home. These children would have a hard time surviving without my care."

"So I will stay here and take care of the shrine for Xiang."

Qinzi folded his little paws together and spoke calmly.

Nan Dou didn't know what to say, but he had an idea in his mind.

The two left the Asase Shrine, and the bell obtained from Neko was tied to Yu Yu's leg by Nandou.

"Brother, where are we going next? Kaiji Island?"

Hu Tao felt that Nan Dou might have new ideas, so the original destination might also change.

I have to say that Hu Tao understands Nan Dou and has guessed what he is thinking.

"Next... we have to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine first. As for Umijima, let's consider it as the next stop."

Nandou said as he rubbed Kurumi's head apologetically.

"It's okay, brother. You can go anywhere as long as you're with me."

Hu Tao was very sensible and rubbed Nan Dou's hand with her head, without any objection at all.

Nan Dou was very pleased to have such a sister. What time will you go home?

"jingle!"

Nandou held the Kagura bell that belonged to Asase Hibiki in his hand. Hundreds of years had passed, but it had not decayed or rusted, and it exuded a scent that belonged to a sleeping child.

This thing is not some special prop. The only reason it has been kept safe and sound until today is because of the infection of the demonic power of the bed.

"Yae Shenzi should be able to recognize this thing, right?"

Nanto calculated the time and thought that when Asase Hibiki was studying at Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yaegamiko should have been by Kitsunesai's side, and the two should have known each other.
