Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare
Chapter 74: Suffering in the World
In a distant village, everyone found a notebook and records of village changes.
The changes in the village record the reasons for the village's abandonment:
A family in the east of the village is a branch of the exorcist family. They suffered a sudden change in just a dozen days.
First, his wife died of illness, then his young daughter went missing, and not long after, his husband hanged himself on a tree in the yard.
The villagers discovered the scent of the demon's remnants in the village. As they were not sure whether the demon's remnants were still there, the villagers became panicked and finally the entire village moved.
The record finally warns future visitors who come here to be careful and pay attention to safety.
Knowing that the remnants of the demon here had long been cleaned up by Xiao Shenhe and Liuyun Zhenjun, the traveler team opened another notebook.
The notes are a local's record of his past.
The wife of the owner of the note fell ill. She became more and more haggard until there was no cure. Before she died, she said that she had no regrets in her life and her only wish was that her husband would take good care of their daughter Ahe.
After his wife passed away, the owner of the notebook lived in a daze, searching ancient books for a way to save his deceased wife.
Finally, he stole the banned book that his friend Mingjun had hidden, and called upon the gods as the book said.
The so-called god asked for a sacrifice, and the owner of the note said he was willing to exchange his life for his wife's return. But the god said nothing and pointed to their daughter Ahe.
This man had gone mad because of his obsession, and actually abandoned his young daughter in the cave that the "God" mentioned!
However, after a few days, his wife did not come back to life, and he finally had a bad guess. He said that he had lost his mind, felt sorry for his daughter and wife, and wanted to apologize to them in person.
Everyone who reads this notebook knows the truth about the past.
Yun Jin, who was very thoughtful, had tears in her eyes. She was finally sure, "Shen He... is the goddess in the opera."
And the truth of this story is: she did not volunteer, Shen He was sent to the monster by her own biological father.
Yun Jin looked at Shen He who was talking to Uncle Ming Jun in the distance, and tried to suppress the sobs in her voice, "This is the truth, it's really sad."
"No wonder Miss Shen He said that the goddess was not as brave as she was portrayed in the play, because she was forced to face such a dangerous situation."
Sora and Paimon, who had witnessed many tragedies in the world, also fell silent at this time.
Only Su saw no sadness, only suppressed anger.
"This man!" She didn't admit that the owner of the notebook was Shen He's father. "He is just a coward who can't take any responsibility!"
He was unable to bear the sorrow of his wife's death, unable to take care of the daughter that his wife was worried about, and in the end, he didn't even have the courage to go to the cave to find his daughter!
"If his so-called 'god' can really resurrect a person, is the person resurrected by this evil 'god' really his wife?"
"Even if it was really his wife who was resurrected, how would she face a husband who sacrificed his own daughter?"
"In the end, he didn't even have the courage to confirm Shen He's situation, and escaped everything by committing suicide!"
Unworthy of being a father! Unworthy of being a husband! A pure coward!
If the village had not been relocated along with the graves, Kong felt that Su would definitely go and dig up the graves and whip the corpses.
Paimon tried to persuade Su with tears in his eyes, "Su, keep your voice down, don't be so excited, don't let Shen Hewu - don't let Shen He recall these bad memories."
After calming down, Su felt that what Paimeng said made sense. Shen He had not mentioned to them and Master Liuyun the truths that they had accidentally discovered. It might be because he still felt sad about the past. Before Shen He had completely let it go, it would be better not to bring up these things for the time being.
——*——*——
Kong found a book called "Miscellaneous Talks on Mountains and Stones" in a dilapidated study room. It recorded that the spells engraved on the Secret Stone can last for a long time, so people believe that it has the power to communicate yin and yang.
To find such a special secret stone, you need a special time and place, that is, to look for it from the center of the lake in the south of Tianheng Mountain at dusk in the direction of sunset.
"That's it!" Paimeng was greatly encouraged. "It's almost dusk, let's go with Shen He to the lake to find the secret stone, and we can also relax."
Shen He was the only one waiting on the bluestone road of the village. Uncle Mingjun, who came back every year to express his grief, had already left.
"Shenhe, we're back," Paimon waved to Shenhe cheerfully, "We've found a way to find the secret stone, let's go to the lake together."
"Okay." Shen He came over, and Paimeng and Su surrounded her on the left and right, asking from time to time whether she was cold or hungry.
Yun Jin thought about it again and again, and finally spoke, "Ms. Shen He, I want to discuss something with you."
"Just now... we found some information in the village and discovered that there are many untrue parts in "The Goddess Splitting the Temple". I want to change it."
The opera itself is an adaptation of reality, but the protagonist of the opera is right in front of Yun Jin, and she feels that she cannot ignore Shen He's feelings.
"You!" Paimeng's first reaction when Yunjin revealed the truth was anger, but then he thought that they always seemed to be hiding things from Shenhe recently, which was not good either...
Su looked at Shen He silently and worriedly.
If Shen He holds a grudge against her biological father, then even if she has to dig deep underground, she will find the village where he moved to and her father's grave to avenge her.
"You already know it." Shen He actually already had the idea of explaining his past, but he just didn't know how to start today, so he simply took the initiative to talk about his past thoughts.
"My father wanted to use my flesh and blood to buy back my mother's life. Ever since he left me in the cave, I had hoped that he would come back to save me. One day, two days, three days... I fought the monster with all my might, but I never saw him again until I collapsed."
At that time, Shen He didn't know whether it was because of her fate that she was abandoned, or because of her rough life that made her develop this evil spirit?
"But then I met my master and the immortals, and now I've met you. If those hardships were the mistakes of fate, then it has given me a lot of compensation now."
Shen He has long since let go of the past.
"I really like the version you told. My master once said that when I know how to use my power for others, I can truly integrate into human society. So, I also hope that one day I can stand up and protect others like the one sung in the opera."
She used to hone herself and practice magic, all out of instinct, wanting to have the strength to protect herself. Punishing evil was just a matter of convenience, she did not have the heart to help the people.
Shen He looked at the people around him with his pale eyes, "I never had such an idea before, but now, I have someone I want to protect."
"Woo woo woo, Shen He..."
Paimeng was sad and moved and swore that he would be very good to Shenhe in the future!
Su hugged Shen He, trying to give some warmth to this girl who had suffered too much because of other people's mistakes.
"Shenhe will be free from illness and disaster, and have a safe and smooth life."
