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

It started to drizzle and Jiang Yi put on a hat.

Two red horned lizards slipped out from the grass, crossed the mountain path, and entered the gap in the cliff.

The red flame flowers closed their stamens and the burning grass was extinguished in the rain.

The shrubs on the roadside gradually turned yellow, and the leaves looked like late autumn.

A Liyue-style wooden sentry tower hung with red silk stood on the stone slope.

Two Qianyan soldiers wearing yellow robes and armor stood guard at their posts with guns in hand, looking straight ahead, overlooking the road to guard against possible accidents.

The Thousand Winds are the largest garrison force in Liyue, equivalent to the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt.

The waterproof paper lanterns hanging on the wooden poles made Jiang Yi feel very familiar.

The scenery changed along the way, and vendors appeared and shouted on the side of the mountain road.

The Stone Gate is the boundary marker between Liyue and Mondstadt.

The high mountains on the left and right sides meet in mid-air, forming an arch-like shape, so it is called "Shimen".

This is the only way for the two countries to pass through. It is very lively with people coming and going. Doing business here can be considered a profitable business.

Jiang Yi's hat was also just bought from a peddler.

The rain was not heavy and the ground on the mountain road was slightly wet, but it did not become muddy.

After walking up the long slope and stepping onto the wooden plank corridor, there is another sentry tower standing against the green bamboo forest.

Signposts with regional characteristics are hung on wooden poles, and the ancient relic "teleportation anchor point" is embedded in the stone slope inside the wooden bridge.

There were rows of long wooden benches with four legs, and people were sitting there chatting, not caring about the drizzle at all.

There was a look of nostalgia in Jiang Yi's eyes. When he came to Teyvat and saw the familiar wooden bench and scene, he felt like crying for the first time.

The scene evokes emotions and the thoughts reach the heart.

A feeling of homesickness suddenly surged up.

"It's not a bad thing to think about the past occasionally!" Jiang Yi's temperament was bleak.

When he took his steps, the sounds made by stepping on the wooden corridors and stairs made him feel as if he was just in an ancient tourist attraction in his hometown.

The memories of his hometown are both good and bad, but when he loses something, the good side always begins to prevail.

Jiang Yi touched the railing with his palm, and the will of the rain was in his hand.

The water spirit between heaven and earth was looking at him.

The wind in my ears is the endless noise and the voices of strangers.

"Just similar flowers!" He adjusted his mood, turned the corner several times, and went down the stairs several times.

Numerous tea shops appeared on an open space on this plank road, built against the cliff.

Jiang Yi smelled the full aroma of tea, from people selling tea, tea leaves, and tea eggs.

I walked to a stall with a sign embroidered with "Big Bowl of Tea", went to the table, pulled out a wooden stool and sat down.

"Father-in-law, give me a bowl of tea to quench your thirst, add two tea eggs, and two packs of tea!" He looked at the stall owner who had a bald head, an old face, and a kind expression.

"Okay! Guest!" Uncle Zhou said happily, and quickly brought Jiang Yi a bowl of tea.

Jiang Yi looked at the porcelain bowl that was almost as big as his face. The floating tea leaves gradually sank to the bottom, and hot steam hit his face.

Big bowls of tea are Liyue’s specialty drink. When traveling in the vast Liyue, drinking bowls of tea (the bigger the better), filled with golden tea, will soothe your throat and relieve all your fatigue.

He took off his bamboo hat, placed his sword on the left side of the table, blew away the hot air, and drank tea in big gulps.

"Although the tea sold at my stall is not famous, the taste is not bad at all!" Uncle Zhou placed two bags of tea in front of Jiang Yi with an old man's pride in his own tea.

Two tea eggs were served in a bowl with some soup.

"The longer the tea eggs are cooked, the richer the flavor. I picked two half-shelled ones for you." Uncle Zhou has been here for many years. He has seen all kinds of people coming and going, listened to their stories, and told them stories. He has met many elegant guests.

But the young man in front of him didn't look familiar to him. It must be his first time here.

Otherwise, if he had seen it, he would definitely never forget it.

Jiang Yi flicked the tea egg with his chopsticks, and half of its shell fell off. An egg, one side white with lines, and the other side as dark as tea leaves, appeared in the bowl.

One sip brings out the fragrance and bitterness of tea.

Tujia eggs have a delicate yolk and elastic egg whites.

"Are you from Liyue?" Old Uncle Zhou chatted casually as usual.

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, looking at the tea egg: "No!"

"Guests are visiting Liyue? You want me to talk to you!" Old Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "When you get old, you always want to show off what you saw and heard when you were young!"

"After passing the stone gate, go south, pass Dihua Island, see Wangshu Inn, walk across Guiliyuan, and you will reach Liyue Harbor."

"If you go west through the stone gate and pass Wuwang Slope, you will reach Qingce Village!"

"It's a great place to retire. I just felt like something was missing there, so I opened a small stall here."

“It’s not very profitable, but it’s very satisfying to see the guests chatting and talking.”

Jiang Yi ate one tea egg and then ate the second one.

Uncle Zhou muttered for a while and then went to entertain the new guests.

"Miss, we have been here for a long time!" A voice came into Jiang Yi's ears, and he inexplicably felt that he had heard it before.

"The Mond Dragon disaster has been resolved, but it is not necessarily safe! We are unfamiliar with the place, where should we go?" A woman's voice replied.

"I'm a burden to you! If only I could kill the monster...if only I weren't so poor." The man blamed himself.

"No!" The woman seemed to be comforting the other person.

Jiang Yi ate the second tea egg and looked back at the couple.

It turned out to be them, one of the unsolved mysteries in the game, the eloped merchant lady and the poor teacher boy.

"Our painstaking planning has not been in vain." The woman's voice was very low, but it could not be hidden from Jiang Yi's ears. "He...didn't find out. Let's live here for a while longer and consider going there!"

The man nodded helplessly.

Jiang Yi drank his tea, but he had no intention of meddling in other people's business. Instead, he felt like he was witnessing everything that had happened.

"The kingdom of rocks!" He put down the bowl, put on his hat, and looked at the bright yellow world on the south side of the stone gate.

The thoughts in my heart turn into artistic conception.

"Looking up at the bright moon, I think of my hometown! The moon has not yet risen, and it is not the place where Chang'e lives in my hometown, but I have experienced the loneliness!"

There were dark clouds reflected in Jiang Yi's eyes.

The blood-red color of the Blood Moon Sword Tomb outside the Memory Palace suddenly faded.

The sword power of the ten thousand swords became brighter and transformed into melancholy moonlight.

The silver moon shines brightly, illuminating the rows of bookshelves in the palace of memory, and those books are solidified with distant memories.

Soldiers miss their homeland, travelers miss their homeland.

The new sword intent senses people’s sorrow and does not carry any murderous intent. Instead, it is like cold water, silently and permeating the soul.

Jiang Yi passed by tea stalls one by one and asked each stall owner to pack two portions of tea.

He doesn't taste tea, he just wants to find the taste of his hometown.

"Quick! Stop it, don't let the evil beast hurt pedestrians!" An angry shout came from under the plank road.

Two Qianyan soldiers stationed in the watchtower rushed towards the avenue with guns in hand.

Jiang Yi, who was waiting for the stall owner to pack tea, followed the crowd of onlookers and looked down to see monsters emerging from the ground and attacking the caravan's goods.
