Chapter 204: Unenlightened

Between the clouds, there are peaks and ridges, and mists are floating.

With her back against the Seven Heavens Statue, Lin Huan held her long sword in her arms and sat calmly on the edge of the Floating Life Stone, her legs casually dangling in the air, her skirt swaying in the gentle breeze from the top of the mountain. At this moment, her heart was as calm as water, without any thoughts or ideas.

At this moment, the sound of flapping wings came from behind. Then, a brown crane came and landed beside her. Then, she heard the familiar voice of Master Lishui Dieshan.

"Ah Huan, I heard from the Emperor that you are here, are you... feeling okay?"

Lin Huan slowly turned around, his eyes calm as water, quietly looking at the Immortal Crane Master in front of him, and responded softly: "The scenery here is pleasant, quiet and peaceful, there is nothing wrong with it."

Her voice was gentle and calm, and she turned her head to look back at the statue behind her. The hooded god with an unclear face lowered his eyes slightly, staring intently at the rock-gold cube in his hand, and the end of his sight clearly fell on himself.

"Don't worry...I won't let myself wallow in grief for long."

Upon hearing this, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun sighed deeply, then turned into a human form and slowly sat down beside her. He wanted to speak to comfort her, but was speechless. At this moment, it seemed that no matter what he said, it would not express his meaning. In the end, he could only raise his hand and gently touch the top of her head.

Lin Huan closed his eyes, smiled gently and shook his head, "It's really nothing, it just takes some time... There is nothing in this world that time can't heal."

She looked up at the vast sky, feeling a myriad of emotions in her heart. Being high up in the clouds, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, with the cool breeze blowing, it seemed that she could really calm her heart a little.

"It's just... True Lord, do you know? Recently, I suddenly felt that what Xiao said to me was very appropriate and hit the nail on the head. I really feel that... the time I spent in the city was really like a long dream. Now that the dream is awake, everything will become a thing of the past. I know that I am no longer human. I was stubborn and tried to cover my ears and steal the bell... But I know that I can't keep anyone in the city after all. Everything familiar will slowly turn into yellowed memories in the long river of time, and will be scattered by the wind..."

Lin Huan lowered his head and said softly, "I know I will have to go through this... I just feel a little sad..."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun patted Lin Huan's shoulder and said earnestly: "My child, life is impermanent, and separation and reunion are all inevitable. Now that you have understood what Xiao meant, you should understand that the changes in this world are as unpredictable as the wind and clouds. Although you are no longer human, the emotions you experience are all real. Whether it is obsession or deceiving others, it is all part of your mental journey. Don't be too hard on yourself, and don't let this unsatisfactory feeling trap your heart for a long time."

He raised his head slightly, looked at the clouds in the sky, and continued: "Time is indeed like a long river, washing away many past events. However, those memories that are deeply engraved in your heart, even if they are yellowed, will leave traces in the depths of your soul and become the power for you to move forward. Although the wind can blow away the appearance, it cannot blow away the imprint in your heart."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun looked at Lin Huan gently, "Child, accept all of this, let go of your obsession, let your heart move with the wind, and pursue new meanings and possibilities."

Lin Huan nodded slightly, the breeze blew her hair on her forehead, her face was slightly pale, but more resilient.

"Master, I understand. Don't worry. For now, maybe this is the practice I need to go through... I will adjust myself."

After saying this, Lin Huan hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Master, I will go out for a walk next."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was slightly stunned, then he smiled with relief.

"Yes, that's good. But remember, no matter where you go, Liyue will always be your home. Remember, there are people waiting for you at home. Remember to come back for the holidays."

Lin Huan chuckled and nodded, but his eyes were red.

"Don't worry, Master. I won't forget where I belong. I will remember to go home... I hope Master will take care of himself."

After saying that, Lin Huan stood up and looked into the distance. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the peaks between the clouds, covering the entire valley with a layer of golden veil.

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun also stood up, gently put his hands on her shoulders, and gave Lin Huan a shallow hug.

"Good boy, go ahead. May the Emperor bless you with a safe journey and hope you gain something."

At this moment, she heard a creaking sound from the mechanism. Lin Huan looked up and saw a clever wooden bird flying high in the sky with the wind and landing in her palm.

The moment it came into contact with her, the mechanical bird's wooden beak opened and closed, and the voice of Mr. Zhongli came out from it.

"Ah Huan, I heard from Xingzhi that you are planning to go out for a walk? That's not bad, go ahead, don't worry about your family, everyone will take good care of themselves.

Lishui is with you, right? If he were, I would no longer say words of comfort... I just hope that the rocks will protect you and make your journey smooth. "

"There is one more thing... Xingzhi told me that someone wrote you a letter and sent it to him. He wanted to give it to you before you left, but he couldn't find you. He heard that you were in Jueyunjian, so he asked me to pass the letter to you and left a message saying that the writer was his friend, whom you also knew. Out of courtesy, I didn't open it, you can read it yourself. The mechanical bird will stay with you. When you reply, leave your signature and it will fly directly to the sender. I have engraved a magic spell, and it can find the person as long as he is on the continent of Teyvat."

"As for how to get the letter out, I think you should know, so I won't go into details. Ah Huan..."

The sharp beak of the mechanical bird slowly closed, and Mr. Zhongli's voice stopped. It was silent for a very long time... until even Lin Huan thought that Mr. Zhongli had finished speaking and would not speak again, he heard his voice again.

"Ah Huan... don't be sad. At least... I'm always here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
