"These symbols represent the Yakshas, why are they here? No, something is wrong with this secret realm. Xiao touched his chin and thought as he looked at the few people who were solving the puzzle below.

After the following people solved the puzzle, a green crack appeared in front of several people, and Xiao's phantom appeared in front of several people.

Yanfei shouted in surprise: "Demon Slaying Sage?!" ”

"Xiao? It's Xiao! Paimon flew over and asked.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao showed his figure in front of everyone, and said to several people: "That's not me. ”

"Wow! Xiao, when did you show up? Paimon asked in surprise.

"The Great Sage of Demon Suppression should have followed us all the way, and he said before that the purpose of this time is to follow you." Yelan opened her mouth and explained, "The new secret realm entrance I discovered before must have been discovered by the Great Sage of Demon Suppression first. ”

"I see, Xiao, then why didn't you say it earlier, and if Xiao is here, what is this shadow in front of you?" Paimon scratched his head.

"I don't know, this place is a little abnormal, not only Skynet can't be used, but there will be a lot of differences in everyone's time." Xiao shook his head and said, "As for why I didn't follow you, it's because there are ordinary people here, and I have too many karma on my body to get along with you for too long. ”

Yelan: "."

Kuki Shinobu: "."

The two of them can understand that Xiao is talking about them, and for ordinary people, karma is indeed an existence that cannot be touched.

"Since this demon slaying sage is fine, he can only move on now, and it seems that there is only . The entrance is up. Kuki Shinobu said.

"Then Uncle Ben will go to explore the road first!" After saying that, Arataki Ichito was ready to jump towards the hole below.

Seeing this, Kuki Shinobu hurriedly said: "Boss, wait, don't rush to the front alone, you are not a dog"

Before Kuki Shinobu finished speaking, Arataki Ichito jumped straight down, accompanied by his painful voice: "Don't worry, Uncle Ben is invincible-ah!" My ass! ”

Kuki Shinobu: "."

Regarding the tragic situation experienced by Arataki Itto, Kuki Shinobu covered his head and reminded the few people behind: "It seems that the pit is very deep, everyone pay attention to safety." ”

Several people went down carefully one by one, only to find that there was water under the hole, so several people were a little curious about how Ichito fell to his buttocks.

Paimon flew up to Arataki and asked, "The cowherd, it's all water underneath, how did you get your ass?" Also, is your ass okay? ”

Arataki Ichito endured the pain and said to Paimon, "It's okay, it's okay. Uncle Ben's ass is very powerful."

Kuki Shinobu said lightly: "If you feel pain, cry, I can hold back my laughter." ”

Listening to Kuki Shinobu's words, Arataki Ichito said to her with wide eyes and an incredulous expression, "You still want to laugh?" You should have sympathy for me! ”

"Sympathy is a blasphemy against your majesty, isn't it? Besides, it's not me who hurts. Kuki Shinobu said this, and slowly walked towards the back of Arataki Itto.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Arataki Itto suddenly shouted loudly, startling several people next to him, and after seeing it clearly, he realized that it was Kuki Shinobu who poked his hand to the place where Arataki Ichito fell.

"Poof" Paimon laughed unkindly.

"Paimon, don't laugh." Yanfei also reminded Paimon with some laughter, but in the end, she couldn't control herself and laughed out loud.

Kuki Shinobu saw the few people who were laughing, and said with a serious face: "It's okay everyone, you can laugh if you want to laugh." ”

Seeing this, Arataki Ichito couldn't help but complain: "Ninja, don't you have a heart? You're the ghost."

After Yelan and a few others stabilized, she spoke: "By the way, why is there a door here?" ”

"yes, how can there be a door in a place like this?" Paimon scratched his head.

Arataki Itto looked at the building in front of him, touched his chin and analyzed, "It's that kind, that kind of rescue cabin, right?" I read in picture books that well-wishers build a small house in a dangerous place, and people in trouble can go in and rest. ”

"There's got to be an exit, right?"

Listening to Arataki Itto's words, Paimon nodded and agreed, "That's right! ”

"No, no one in crisis is so optimistic." Kuki Shinobu retorted.

Paimon smiled and said, "Herding cattle, your subordinates are scolding you." ”

Ichito glanced at Paimon and said lightly, "She even scolded you, what are you happy about!" ”

"Oh, Ninja, this is where you are inferior to Uncle Ben, understand? Everyone didn't dare to open it. Then I'll come. After saying that, Arataki Ichito walked towards the door.

But instead of touching the mechanism that opened the door, he put on a stance, and with a few stunned people, he slammed his fist into the hard stone wall.

Ying: "."

Arataki Itto's behavior directly made Ying stunned for a moment, and immediately began to applaud Arataki Itto directly, and several people around him also gave Arataki Itto warm applause.

Arataki Itto: "Uh"

At this time, Arataki Ichito saw the mechanism next to him in hindsight, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.

When Arataki Ichito opened the door, he found that it was an Inazuma-style house, with two plates of beans on the table inside, and a person performing exorcism to him.

Arataki Itto: "!! ”

Seeing Arataki Ichito running out in a panic, Yelan wondered: "Those people are all carrying bowls, what do you mean by the beans in the bowl?" ”

"It's a bean caster to drive away ghosts. The boss is a ghost, and they use beans to drive the boss away. Kuki Shinobu explained.

Arataki Itto walked up to a few people a little breathlessly, and said with a frightened face: "It's terrifying, isn't it, why are there Inazuma people in this kind of place?" ”

Yanfei said with relief to Arataki Itto: "Calm down, you are Inazuma." ”

"I'm a ghost of Inazuma, not a human!" Arataki replied.

"No, the question is, does this door lead to Inazuma?" Kuki Shinobu stepped forward and asked a few people.

Paimon directly rejected Kuki Shinobu's words and said, "How is it possible. This place is so quirky that I'd rather believe it's haunted now! ”

"Why don't you open it again and see if things change inside the door?" Ying thought for a moment and proposed.

Arataki Ichito listened to Ying's words, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Whoever of you likes to open it, I won't open it anyway." Who's next? Hey Paimon, you, come on! ”

Paimon heard this and hurriedly refused, "Don't, don't!" You guys, I'm scared."

"I'll do it." Kuki Shinobu volunteered to step forward and said.

Arataki Itto faced Kuki Shinobu behind him and cheered, "Come on! Don't lose to what's in the door! ”

Kuki Shinobu: "."

After Kuki Shinobu entered, he saw a building in an Inazuma building, and a green-haired woman was babbling at her about how the witch was so good or something, and after a while, Kuki couldn't stand it anymore and ran out directly.

"I didn't expect to hear that sentence again here." After going out, Kuki Shinobu sighed.

Yanfei was puzzled: "She just said that you should be a witch?" ”

Kuki Shinobu explained, "I just didn't want to be a shrine maiden, so I went to Liyue to study. But my family didn't approve of it, so when I returned to Inazuma, they wanted me to go to Narujin Taisha. ”

"Based on my perception of Miyaji-sama, being a witch is a fat difference." Paimon asked.

Kuki Shinobu continued, "Just like some cats can be kept at home, and some cats can only survive in the wild, I am a person who needs absolute freedom and space, and although the job of a shrine maiden is good, it is not suitable for me. ”

Listening to Kuki Shinobu's words, Ichito smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are still suitable for gangs." Look at you, majestic and heroic, right? ”

Yanfei nodded in agreement: "It's good now, work, the most important thing I like." ”

"I agree with that." Yelan agreed.

At this time, Arataki Itto suddenly used his mind to think for a while and then spoke: "I said, will the things in this door change, or this kind of thing that everyone doesn't want to see, then who can open the way?" ”

"Would you like to try it?" Kuki Shinobu asked.

Yelan opened her mouth and refused: "Excuse me." If it's something scary inside, I don't want to try it, and if someone can get out of it, it won't be me. ”

"Paimon, you go." Ying suddenly said to Paimon.

Paimon listened to Ying's words and said with a frightened expression, "It's okay, it's better not to."

Ying shook her head and said seriously: "No, there is no need to discuss." ”

"Hmm, okay, okay." Paimon scratched his head and reluctantly opened the door.

However, when Paimon opens the door, Paimon opens the door and sees a blurry starry sky that everyone outside can't see clearly, while Paimon sees Ying's figure and a huge golden tree standing in the starry sky in the distance.

"Paimon, Teyvat's journey has come to an end, and I can't take you with me on my next trip." Ying inside said to Paimon.

Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Why? Are you leaving? Didn't you say okay that I'm your emergency food, and you have to take me with you wherever you go? ”

Ying replied, "Because this world is your world, and your journey in this world has reached the end, and you can continue to maintain this beauty, what is there to be sad about?" ”

"But I want to follow you." Paimon shook his head.

Although he knows that the environment in front of him is fake, Paimon is afraid of this, because Ying's life trajectory has changed, and she will become dispensable in the future, and she may not even be qualified as emergency food in the end.

"You are gone, what will happen to this world? I have reached the end of my journey in this world, and in order to continue the journey, I can only leave first, and this road will not always wait for me. The phantom looked at the golden trees in the distance and said with a smile, "I'll come back to see you when I have time later." ”

Paimon heard Ying's words and shouted incredulously, "Why don't you want to ascend to the throne?" Why? Everything in this world is for you! ”

Ying shook her head and replied: "When a person has a sense of self, has his own ideas, and the ability to change the world, he will naturally not be bound by his so-called fate, if it were you, you would make the same choice as me." ”

"Paimon, goodbye." After Ying finished speaking, she turned around in Paimon's line of sight and walked alone towards the sea of stars that stretched out from the golden trees in the distance, and a golden phantom in the golden trees formed by the sea of stars stretched out her hand to Ying.

Paimon hurriedly shouted to Ying, who was far away, "Ying, I don't want you to go!" ”

Paimon tries to fly up and grab Ying, but she is blocked by an invisible force, like the world is in her cage.

Paimon: "."

It wasn't until Ying's figure disappeared completely by the golden palm that Paimon came back to his senses, and as if his strength had been drained, he slowly flew out the door.

Ying saw Paimon flying out of it with a lost face, and asked worriedly, "Paimon, Paimon, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Well, I don't want you to go." Hearing Ying's words, Paimon threw himself into Ying's arms and cried, "Ying, don't leave me behind on your journey. ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong, Paimon, what do you see in there? We've been blinded by something, we've seen nothing, and what's not going to leave you behind? Arataki Ichito wondered.

"No, nothing." Paimon shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice.

She didn't plan to tell anyone other than Ying about this, even if she wanted to tell Ying, it wouldn't be now, and she didn't expect that what she was afraid of would be this.

Ying also knew from Paimon's expression that what Paimon was afraid of was related to herself, although she was a little confused, but she also knew that this matter was not easy to talk about here, and Paimon also had a lot of secrets that no one else could know.

"Paimon, don't be sad, I won't leave you, I'll make you as much delicious food as we get out." Ying hugged Paimon and said in relief.

Paimon whispered, "Hmm. ”

Ying: "."

Seeing that the promised lot of delicious food didn't make Paimon's mood any better, Ying knew that this experience really scared Paimon.

"Who's next?" Arataki asked, "Paimon's state seems to be a little abnormal. ”

Yanfei said, "I'll come." ”

Listening to Yanfei's words, Arataki Ichito applauded: "Oh! Benefactor, good guts! ”

"Yanfei, do you have anything to be afraid of? I don't know what Paimon is afraid of, but the things in this door are really evil. Ying said.

"It stands to reason that there should be, but I can't imagine it." Yanfei replied: "But it's okay, just open the door and see." ”

The moment Yanfei opened the door, a room appeared in which two Liyue people, a man and a woman, were arguing.

The woman said angrily: "Dead old man, you gave three catties of salt today, sold two catties, and exchanged three catties for wine and drink, how much money did you make in total?" ”

The man scratched his head and replied, "Huh? However, you said that you can just sell the things in the store, so what's wrong with giving them away? ”

After listening to the man's words, the woman said with a look of hatred: "You are stupid! You asked the uncle next door to come to the door to get salt, who knew that he would break his leg halfway! I didn't hear his son say that he wanted someone to pay for it, you old man, alas..."

Yanfei: "."

Yanfei walked out in silence, and after thinking about her mood for a while, she said: "I didn't expect it to be a civil dispute."

Kuki Shinobu was puzzled: "That was just now"

"It's not anyone, it's just a microcosm of the many civil cases that make me embarrassed." Yanfei explained.

"Oh? Meaning, are you afraid of disputes over firewood, rice, oil and salt? Yelan spoke.

Yanfei replied: "It should be said that I am a little afraid of those who are entangled in trivial matters. Especially like the one just now, it was originally well-intentioned, but in the end it turned the world upside down."

"Good intentions are reduced to the beginning of injuries and accidents, alas. It's a shame. ”

Speaking of this, Yanfei sighed and continued: "I did this to help solve some problems. It's just the complex human heart that I can't fully control. ”

Listening to Yanfei's words, Kuki Shinobu nodded and said, "I can understand. The human heart is probably the most complex and sad thing. ”

When Yanfei heard this, she changed the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, does anyone still want to try this door?" ”

"Don't look at me, I'm not going to try." Yelan spoke.

Arataki Ichito listened to Yelan's words, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I said Yelan, everyone is a companion, even if you don't want to try, you can give a convincing reason." ”

"In that case, I'll be blunt." Yelan replied, "I work for Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and my work involves Liyue's major secrets. ”

"Opening this door means I'm probably going to dispose of all of you for secrecy. Are you satisfied with this reason? ”

Arataki Ichito suddenly said: "Oh, oh, it's very powerful, uh, but Ah Ren, who is Tianquan Star Condensation?" ”

"I'm guessing Ningguang is the one who won't make you out of the Chasm alive if they find out you're spying on secrets." Kuki Shinobu replied, "Boss, you really don't know anything about this world? ”

"Isn't it strange to know? I'm a free ghost! Speaking of this, Arataki Ichito took out a comb from somewhere and began to comb his hair.

Kuki Shinobu: "."

"I'll do it." Ying said, "I also want to see what I'm afraid of now." ”

"Yes, traveler, you are very special, what if you open the door and it is the exit." Arataki Itto said with a smile.

Ying nodded and said, "I hope so, although I don't think it's very likely." ”

Ying walked to the door and opened them, revealing a starry sky with Paimon, and she walked in with some curiosity, only to see the exit behind her close the moment she entered.

Ying: "??? ”

Ying looked at the empty scene with a bewildered expression, on the ground was a blue ground with strange patterns of unknown materials, and above her head was a vast starry sky, and a golden giant tree made of bright stars.

"Wait, why is there a golden tree here?" Ying muttered in disbelief, "Why am I seeing this here?" Am I scared? No, no, I don't have any fear at all. ”

"These stars in front of me give me a strong sense of yearning, and this golden giant tree also gives me an inexplicable sense of security, I am certainly not afraid of these."

"So, where is this?" Ying touched her chin and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, and then opened Skynet.

"Well, since there's a signal? It seems that the golden tree in front of you is real, not fake. Ying said with some surprise: "Let's ask about the tassel, after all, it seems that no one else can count on it except her." ”

After contacting for a while, the figure of the tassel appeared in front of Ying.

"Huh? How did you get outside? Tassel asked Ying with some confusion.

Ying asked, "Outside?" What do you mean? ”

Tassel replied, "Literally, this is the world that has been isolated, isn't it described in "The Past of the Sun and the Moon", the original one used eggshells to separate the [universe] and the [microcosm of the world]." ”

"This thing under my feet is an eggshell?" Ying asked in surprise, "The golden tree in front of you is also real?" ”

"Well, that's pretty much what it means, but the golden tree in front of me is not real, it's just a conceptual phantom, but its effect is still there." Tassel replied.

Ying: "."
