Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

"Thoma..."

"Thoma..."

In the guarded forest, everyone's shouts were swallowed up by darkness.

At this moment, Ying found that she was stepping on water, and the dark river water was rising rapidly under her feet.

Jiang Yi's dust-avoiding spell not only avoided dust, but also avoided water, so that her bathrobe and socks did not get wet.

Everyone also noticed the surging water below.

There seemed to be a heavy storm in the sky, and then it was covered by the leaves of the woods.

"Wait a minute, this water!" Kamisato Ayaka subconsciously grabbed Jiang Yi's hand.

She suddenly discovered that the water on one side was flowing exceptionally fast, and on the other side it was flowing exceptionally slowly, and the sound of the rushing water in her ears had different syllables.

The sudden rush of water made her unstable.

"Be careful!" Jiang Yi grabbed her.

Then, the raging water suddenly flooded over their heads, drowning and scattering everyone.

Ying, Xiao Gong, and Paimon all disappeared around him.

Only Jiang Yi's figure stood by her side like a rock.

Darkness covered everything, bringing with it a strong smell of death. The power of the elements could not be mobilized, as if there were supreme rules suppressing everything.

Kamisato Ayaka originally thought that her brother's disappearance and the accident at the "Test of Courage" were just a performance in a "script", but at this moment, she was not so sure.

I really felt panic in my heart.

The familiar guarding forest became so strange. I tried hard to open my eyes, but my eyelids were so heavy that I fell asleep.

There was no way to know Jiang Yi's situation, and it seemed too late to save his brother.

Don't know how long.

"Oops? Did I use too much force?" Kamisato Ayaka heard Jiang Yi's apologetic voice.

"..." She slowly opened her bright and sparkling eyes, "Jiang..."

She grabbed him nervously.

What is reflected before one's eyes is a truly handsome face, and behind him, there is a magnificent blue sky that stretches to the horizon, like countless stars and magnificent lamps suspended in the air.

Billions of ghost lights appeared and disappeared, scattered all over the sky like fireflies, floating and flickering.

Looking at the earth again, it was a strange red.

This is... a vermilion nursery, a sea of ​​flowers composed of red stamens, and each flower exudes a faint red light like blood.

"Welcome to the gap between Yin and Yang. By the way, does this count as us dying together for love?" Jiang Yi smiled lightly, hugged Ling Hua, and said seriously, "Sorry, I scared you. In fact, I wanted to give you a surprise."

"..." Kamisato Ayaka hugged Jiang Yi reproachfully, and her beating heart gradually calmed down.

"So... the river just now was actually the 'Sanzu River'?" The smart girl quickly thought of something.

The Sanzu River, or Sanzugawa, is the dividing line between the world of the living and the world of the dead in Inazuma legend.

The water in the river will flow at three different speeds: slow, normal, and fast, depending on the deceased's behavior during his lifetime. These are the "three paths".

Will take the dead souls to different places.

"Yes! Where we are now is the sea of ​​red spider lilies and the road of fire." Jiang Yi let go of Linghua and held her hand.

"On the surface of Inazuma, on the bloody battlefield, the blood-red flowers bloom."

"The bloodier the battlefield, the more magnificent and gorgeous they bloom. The souls of the dead will walk along the winding road paved by the blood flowers to the afterlife, returning to the eternal cycle of elements. But the souls who doubt 'eternity' and are lost will be bound by the earth and become another enchanting red flower in the vermilion nursery."

The two of them walked in this sea of ​​red flowers. There was no road in the sea of ​​flowers, but it would give people spiritual enlightenment and let people know the direction they needed to move forward.

Something in my heart becomes clearer.

It is not about pursuing the other side of reincarnation, but about looking for the one you miss in this side.

Kamisato Ayaka noticed that there were thick tree roots sticking out from the soil from time to time. As the head of the shrine responsible for maintaining the sacred cherry tree, she naturally recognized that these were the roots of the "sacred cherry".

Unlike the surface, the blue energy juice flowing through these roots contains extremely clear souls and consciousness, not just memories.

These souls appeared in the sea of ​​flowers, waiting expectantly for something.

As long as they are not within a hundred meters of each other, the creatures in the sea of ​​flowers cannot see these souls.

After they saw her.

They all asked, have you seen so-and-so come to the underworld?

Kamisato Ayaka was unable to answer. These ghosts were wearing clothes from different eras, and their faces included men, women, young and old... and the names they spoke were unfamiliar to her.

As for Jiang Yi, his figure did not seem to be reflected in the eyes of these dead souls.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Kamisato Ayaka stopped.

She found her brother, and...her parents.

Jiang Yi let go of her hand, and then she felt Jiang Yi gently push her.

"Come on! I'll be waiting for you here!"

The voice in my ear was gentle and...guilty?

Kamisato Ayaka noticed that her brother, who had his back to her, turned around and looked at her together with his parents, revealing the smile that had been waiting there for a long time.

Don't rush her.

Just look at it like this.

"...Mother...Father..." Kamisato Ayaka uttered these words with difficulty, and it was hard to tell whether she was excited and happy, or sad to see the deceased.

My feet unconsciously moved forward, wanting to run.

From walking slowly to taking steps, to looking back at Jiang Yi, and then looking at his parents.

After a pause, the running steps turned into a reserved walk again.

She...is not a child anymore.

But his body seemed to lean forward with his feet first and came in front of his mother.

Kamisato Kayo has the same snow-white hair as Kamisato Ayaka, which is tied on one side in front of her chest. She wears a brown top with a white collar and a skirt-like bottom.

She glanced at Jiang Yi who was standing in the distance, and then looked at her daughter who had grown much taller and more beautiful than when she died. She was graceful and elegant, as pure as a snow crane.

Like her brother, she has an Eye of God.

What caught her attention even more was the yukata that Linghua was wearing.

There was also the reluctant look back just now, and the intimate hand holding when walking towards me.

There was a hint of smile in those blue eyes.

"Linghua...long time no see."

"Mother, long time no see." Kamisato Ayaka paused, then smiled like a flower, like meeting a cypress after the snow.

Your journey is a long one, like a ball of cloth. I hope there will be fire from the sky to burn this ball of cloth.

This poem, which is about waiting for loved ones at home, missing them deeply, and hoping that time will pass quickly... does not fit the current situation, but it fits Kamisato Ayaka's mood.

Those who are at home are not parents, and those who are traveling far away are not children. It is a reversed separation.

Her parents have passed away, but in her heart it is like a long journey. Perhaps one day, they will meet again, and the waiting time in between is so long.

But she already knew in her heart that they were separated by the Yin and Yang and would never see each other again.

Has the father gone to the other side with the mother? The end of the other side is the eternal cycle of elements, or will they be human again? The mystery of life and death is an endless unknown, and it is the comforting belief in people's hearts.

In the underworld of Teyvat, ghosts with obsessions or memories can stay in the earth veins for a long time...

It actually takes a long time for a person to become a ghost and then reincarnate. The situations in each country of Teyvat are different, and the reincarnations are also different.

Wuwangpo in Liyue may be the most peaceful place, and the reincarnation is also the smoothest. The ground veins of Inazuma were polluted five hundred years ago, after which Inazuma Divine Sakura is the place where the souls of the Eternal Kingdom return. After the soul enters the Divine Sakura, it is actually sleeping, and then after being hurt by the Beast Realm Hound, the memory and soul will flow out of the Divine Sakura juice.

The place where the souls of the Xumi Desert return is the "Golden Dreamland", where all living beings do not enter reincarnation; the place where the souls of Nata return is the Kingdom of the Night God, where a large number of souls gather into one;

Mond's soul "goes home with the wind" in the windy land, returns to his hometown and enjoys peace.

It is said that the place where Fontaine's soul returns to is "water" or "sea", and it is difficult for him to reincarnate.

The pollution of forbidden knowledge eroded the World Tree in ancient times. The World Tree is the earth veins, and the earth veins are the underworld. The many entrances to the underworld reincarnation have long been blocked by the abyss.

Reincarnation, the order of life and death were all broken during the Demon War and the Kanreya period, causing hundreds of demons to run rampant and evil generals to run rampant. Even now, there are many evil spirits that have not entered reincarnation.

Liyue's Hall of the Dead and Inazuma's Shrine are the existences that maintain this yin and yang order. Liyue sends the "ghosts" to Wuwangpo, and Inazuma "comforts" and "eradicates" them.

Of course, now that Jiang Yi has covered up the Taixu Daotu, the order of life and death he has established has begun to replace everything.

This space where Inazuma blood-gold flowers are in full bloom and ghost lights are floating is the embodiment of this power.

In general, this is also the netherworld of Inazuma opened up by the sacred cherry tree.

Look towards the entrance of the Fire Road and the entrance of the Sanzu River. There is an extremely huge ghost gate. The ghost gate is made of wood and has countless Yin patterns and talismans on it, moving like tadpoles.

A huge tree that supports the sky and connects the earth grows from Guimen, connecting the world of the living above and the underworld below. It is called the "Divine Sakura". The door of Guimen is nothing more than its cracked bark, and the Sanzu River is the sap that flows out of it, connecting the earth and water veins of Inazuma.

Countless dead souls flowed upstream along the "Sanzu River", vying with each other to reach the world of the living.

A towering mountain shadow, the sacred cherry blossoms and the ghost gate together form Inazuma, the "ghost gate" blocking all the ghosts.

The shadow of the mountain is the "shadow of the mountain" reflected in the netherworld Yinshan Mountain. Guarding the Yin and Yang worlds is the projection of the "Mingshin Taisha Shrine" on the top of the mountain. Overlooking the ghosts are the sky fox and the earth fox, the messengers of the fox fairy.

"Lord Yama" is the Lord of the Divine Sakura, and is the ruler of this world.

The projection of General Thunder, the demon god Baal.

Calling himself "true".

They worship "Golden Palace of Mi Luo Xu Huang Shangdi" as the Emperor of the Three Realms.

The sound of bells resounded through the underworld.

The "Lord of Yama" and the Lord of the Three Realms "God of Xuhuang" have pardoned all the ghosts in the world and opened the "Gates of Hell" today, allowing the ghosts to return home to visit their relatives.

On this day, all people in the world can burn incense to worship their ancestors and pay homage to the gods.

At night, you can listen to the “ghosts’ dreams” to fulfill the wishes of your ancestors, and your ancestors will also protect their descendants.

The next day, when the sun rises, in the early morning, before the cockcrows, all ghosts must return to the underworld through the mountain's earth veins and water veins.

Every ghost has the mark of the divine cherry on its body. When the time comes, the gates of hell will forcibly call back all the souls that left yesterday.

Netherworld Announcement.

This year is a special year. The gates of hell will open wide in the future, which will be on the 15th day of the seventh month, the "Zhongyuan Festival". This festival is the "Ghost Festival". The dead souls who have not been reincarnated can return home to enjoy incense and food, but they are not allowed to hurt people.

According to the ranking of good and evil deeds, ghosts with good deeds can leave first and get more time to stay in the world of the living.

When the souls of the dead return home, if they hurt someone once, they will be banned from returning to the world of the living for ten to a hundred years. If they kill someone, their souls will be caught by the "chariot of fire" and taken to the "great hell" at the "bottom of the sea" to be punished for a hundred to a thousand years.

Hell is controlled by King Yama, the incarnation of "Xuhuang God", while Tianzang Yulong Jun and Bodhi Miaoye Lord are also the lords of small hells outside the big hell.

Those with a predestined relationship, Onmyojis, and Miko can obtain special qualifications and enter the netherworld.
