Genshin Impact: Eternal Place

Qin Lan looked around and said, "Why did I appear in Inazuma? Can I take the initiative to choose where I appear in the future?"

"Since we are here, something must have happened. Let's go and take a look."

"You make it sound easy, but I fought hard every time."

"Even if nothing happened, didn't you say you would bring some sweet snacks for Inazuma to Master Liuyun Jiefeng? Now that you're here, why don't you take a good look around?"

"That's true."

Qin Lan walked slowly towards Inazuma City. "I don't think I've ever been on a boat in my life. How about we take a boat back to Liyue later?"

"Going back by boat is too slow."

"Just go slow, I don't lack time."

"Why are you asking me if you've already made up your mind? Besides, it's all the same to me. I'm not going out anyway."

As she was talking, Qin Lan walked to a shop and sat down.

"Two servings of tri-color dumplings, one to be taken away."

"Here it comes." The one who brought up the snacks was not the one above. It was obvious that some time had passed since Teyvat. Qin Lan asked, "Madam Boss, how many years ago did Haiqi Island invade from the east?"

"Ah? Hmm... let me think about it, it seems to have happened more than a hundred years ago. It is said that the Lord of Tenryo Bugyo died in that battle. Later, the entire Yamato Island was destroyed by Lord Narukami. Now it seems that the Kitain family has been guarding there."

"A hundred years... OK, thank you, Madam Boss. The dumplings are delicious, just like before."

"Hahaha, you're welcome."

Qin Lan slowly walked away, but the proprietress was confused. "Has this person come here to eat before? How come I have never seen him before?"

Looking at the light gathering on the mountain, Qin Lan smiled and said, "It seems that today's main venue is at Naruto-Taisha Shrine. I haven't been there for a long time. I wonder if I will be stopped this time."

Qin Lan walked around several small shops in Inazuma City, bought all the snacks and put them in the space, then walked towards Yingxiangshan.

"Oh? You said that guy is here again." Listening to the report from the little raccoon cat beside him, Kitsai Palace said with a smile: "This guy really knows how to pick the time. Um... No need, I'll go pick him up myself."

Qin Lan walked slowly up the mountain road. Out of respect for Ming Shen, he did not spread his wings of wind and flew up directly. Mainly because he was afraid that Ying would kill him with a single blow. The blow on Ba Niang Island left Qin Lan with a deep psychological trauma.

"Hey, what brings you here?" A familiar voice came. Qin Lan looked in the direction of the voice. Hu Zhaigong was leaning lazily against the tree and looking at Qin Lan.

"I came to Inazuma to buy some things and stopped by to see you."

"Look at me? Are you sure you're here to see me?"

"Uh...is there anyone else at Narukami Taisha besides you?"

"Hehe, let's go. You've come at the right time. There will be a grand banquet tonight. Oh, by the way, Ying will also attend." Hu Zhaigong turned and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"Ahem, I told you I just came to check on you. I've seen it, and knowing that you're okay is enough. I'm leaving now."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Am I so scary?"

Qin Lan's body froze in place instantly, "I forgot to tell you, Zhen and Ying are on their way here." Hu Zhaigong turned his head and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, we actually ran into each other, then let's go together."

Lei Dianzhen smiled and said, "Let's go. Ying is actually very kind, but a little dull."

Qin Lan responded with a smile and followed the two thunder gods towards the top of the mountain. She seemed to be able to hear the laughter of Hu Zhai Palace coming from the front.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Qin Lan quickly walked into the shrine and sat next to Kitsaigong.

Instantly, the eyes of all "people" gathered on Qin Lan, and instantly a huge pressure was pressed on his heart, "Uh, is this the place for some special person?"

"Hahaha." Hu Zhaigong covered his mouth and laughed, "No, this seat today is prepared for you. Let me introduce you, this is my good friend. Um... how long have we known each other?" Hu Zhaigong turned his gaze to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan was very nervous. He had no idea how long it had been since he first came to Inazuma.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It should be a thousand years."

"Yes, it has been a thousand years."

The various spirits below began to discuss, can humans live for a thousand years? Could this kid also be a monster? I didn't sense any demonic aura from him. However, the master of the fox palace confirmed that at least his identity was not a problem, so the shrine slowly returned to its lively state.

Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Hu Zhaigong and asked, "What are these?"

"Hmm? They are all spirits born in Yingxiang Mountain, just like me. When they transform into human form, they retain some of the demon form, so they felt strange when they saw you just now."

"So what did you keep?"

"Oh? You want to see my tail?"

The image of Ali suddenly flashed through Qin Lan's mind. The Hu Zhaigong in front of her was first-class in both figure and appearance. Was there a chance for her to see the real Ali?

"That's a nice thought. The banquet is about to begin." Hu Zhaigong looked at Qin Lan and smiled, then returned to his seat.

The Kitsunasaigu called this banquet the Hyakumonogatari Conference. To Qin Lan, it was more like a bragging conference. Monsters from all over the place would only get together once in many years, so naturally they would brag about their great achievements over the years.

"Ahem, ahem, you all are no match for me. You have to listen to me." A monster named Yourakusai suddenly stood in the center, looking like he was drunk, and began to tell a story.

"Hiccup, you all should know about the Heguan Island that has always been in the distance. Do you know what it looks like now?"

"I went to Heguan Island some time ago, and it was still covered with fog, and I couldn't see my hand in front of me."

"You clearly only have four fingers." A pink little fox lying on Kitsai Palace said disdainfully, and everyone laughed.

"Ahem, it's pitch dark. I searched everywhere in the fog, but found that there was no one on the entire island, but I could always hear the sound of someone playing the flute."

"This is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that no matter which direction I move in, I will inexplicably return to the starting point in the end."

The pink little fox continued, "You've returned to the starting point, how do you know there's no one on the entire island?"

"Oh my, this one doesn't count. This one doesn't count. I'll change it to another one."

"Eh~~" All the monsters in the audience booed.

Qin Lan was actually quite interested in the story just now, and asked Hu Zhaigong beside her: "Is what You Le Zhai said just now true?"

"It's true, but this story is not that simple. It's a tragedy. Do you want to hear it?"

"Oh? Tragedy?"

"Heguan Island has been shrouded in fog all year round and has no contact with the outside world, but this has also helped them avoid many disasters. Over time, even with the dissuasion of the elderly, there will always be a few people who can't stand the loneliness and want to leave the island. This is how the story of Heguan Island spread."

"The people on the island all believe in a thunderbird, believing that it will bring them rain and dew. At the same time, the people on the island also use the feathers of the thunderbird to make a special flute to locate and transmit information in the fog."

"Is there any problem with this? Is Thunderbird a demon? Did he also die in the Demon War?"

Kitsai Palace sighed and continued, "Thunderbird is not a demon. She is just an elemental creature formed by the original pure anger and resentment plus the power of thunder and lightning. The creatures on the island think that Thunderbird is protecting them, but that is just something she did casually. She may not even know what she has done."

"One day, perhaps the people of Heguan Island did something to anger the Thunderbird, and the Thunderbird suddenly sent down a thunderstorm. The horrible thunderstorm killed everyone on Heguan Island, and then flew to Qinglai Island. Zhen was afraid that the tragedy would happen again, so he asked Ying to kill the Thunderbird and seal it on Qinglai Island."

"If the story ended here, it wouldn't be a tragedy at all. After Thunderbird was killed, Ying and I went to Heguan Island to learn the truth. Do you want to hear it?"

"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."

"Call me sister and I'll tell you."

"Hey, I'm from the same era as Morax and the others. You're dreaming if you want me to call you sister."

"Oh, that's such a pity. You can explore this history on your own later..."
