Chapter 70: The Great Saint Who Conquers Demons
The morning breeze blows gently, and the shadows of the trees dance.
"The young fairy is really as beautiful as a painting." Heidi looked at him from afar.
She knew that Xiao liked quietness, so she didn't go up to disturb him, but just stared at him blankly.
After the little sparrow ate two bites of the insects, it was no longer afraid of Heidi. It hopped around her and flew to her shoulder, chirping.
It was not until he pecked her face that Heidi cried out, as if waking up from a dream. She covered her mouth again, looked at him reluctantly twice, and left quietly.
Heidi didn’t sleep well that night, but when she saw Xiao, she immediately became energetic and walked happily towards Liyue Harbor.
It is a great blessing to meet an immortal.
Xiao is the guardian yaksha and the great sage who subdues demons, so he will definitely have a good sleep tonight.
……
"Mr. Zhongli, what a coincidence, are you here to listen to the book too?" Heidi also sat down at the table and looked at him with a smile.
She wouldn’t say that she went around the stalls and found that Wangshengtang was not setting up a stall.
He quietly came over to read a book.
"Heidi, what a coincidence. Master Hu said that I brought a lot of guests yesterday, so he gave me a day off." Zhongli nodded slightly, "It seems that you are in a very good mood today."
"Well, I met an immortal today."
"Oh? I wonder which immortal he is, but I have heard of him." Zhongli calmly picked up the cup on the table.
"I'll tell you in secret, it was the Immortal Xiao. I met him at the Tongque Temple this morning." Heidi said in a low voice.
Although I know they are very familiar with each other, I still can't help but share it.
After all, Zhongli can be found in the Hall of Rebirth, but Xiao avoids crowds and is hard to see.
After hearing this, Zhongli paused for a moment and put the tea into his mouth. "So it's the Great Sage who conquers demons. I know his reputation."
"You two are talking about the Great Sage who conquers demons. Do you want to hear his story? I have just compiled the story of the Emperor and his five yaksha guardians." Tian Tiezui heard the conversation and came over.
"Is it okay?" Heidi asked subconsciously, turning to look at Zhongli.
Zhongli looked calm, "Okay."
Tian Tiezui began to narrate the story of the Five Yakshas. "This is an ancient story. There are five great Yakshas, namely Fushe, Mi Nu, Yingda, Fanan and General Jinpeng. Among them, General Jinpeng is also known as the Great Saint who conquers demons."
"In the chaotic times of the Demon God War, General Jinpeng experienced countless hardships and worked under the command of the Demon God. However, the wheel of fate turned, the Emperor defeated the Demon God, and General Jinpeng was taken under the Emperor's command and given the name Xiao."
"..."
"After the Demon God War, the remains of the Demon God turned into demons, spreading hatred and resentment. Whenever demons and evil spirits stir, disasters spread, and ghosts run rampant, the Yakshas stand up and take on the responsibility of eliminating the demons and evil spirits. Their mission is to resolve the hatred of the Demon God, protect the people of the world, and safeguard the peace and tranquility of the world."
"As for the follow-up, some people say that the Yakshas were contaminated by the hatred of the demon god and were bound by karma. Many Yakshas are missing. Now in Liyue Harbor, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage is fulfilling his mission in the Dihuazhou area. It is really admirable and lamentable."
After Tian Tiezui finished speaking, he couldn't stop sighing.
"Life is fleeting, and everything is abandoned." Heidi murmured to herself. She remembered the endings of these Yakshas.
"What do you think of the story, young man?" Zhongli asked slowly.
"These few short sentences span thousands of years. They are no more than turning a page in a book, but only when you are really in it, living it day by day, can you understand the pain and joy in it." Heidi just felt that the responsibility and emotion were too heavy, and she was not qualified to comment.
"Yes." Zhongli stared at the cups on the table for a while.
"Zhongli, do you have anything else to do today?" Heidi felt that the topic was too profound and didn't want to talk about it anymore, fearing that it would wear out.
"No."
"Okay, I signed up for a poetry contest a few days ago, and I'm going to submit my first poem today. Let's go together."
"Alright."
……
The poetry competition is more like a poetry exchange meeting than a competition.
The address is by the port.
After each preliminary and semi-final round, everyone votes to select a group of poems, which are finally compiled into a book and also set to tunes to be sung to promote Liyue culture.
There is no topic for the preliminary round, just express your thoughts. A theme will be drawn up for the semi-final, and will be announced by the Liyue Seven Stars at that time.
Everyone who comes will be given a small lantern with a long piece of silk cloth hanging underneath. They can write whatever they want on it, and then hang it on several rows of lamp stands for everyone to see.
There are small seals with various patterns on the edge of the lamp stand, including four patterns: neon flowers, glazed lilies, freshness and glazed bags.
If you like, you can print one on the silk cloth of this lantern.
"This is a good idea. When we light the lights at night, it will look like a forest of poetry. It will be very interesting." Heidi took a lantern.
"Poetry Forest, um, that's a good name." Zhongli looked at the lanterns that had been hung up, "Have you decided what to write?"
"My priority is participation. Don't laugh at me." Heidi took a pen and handed it to Zhongli.
"Your handwriting is beautiful, come and help me write."
"Okay." Zhongli took the pen with a smile.
Heidi pieced together the poem in her mind and read it out:
"One of the five Yaksha generals, I first followed the emperor into battle and returned.
Who knows the pain of not slaying the evil spirits? Even if you die, your chivalrous spirit will still be smelled.
He is able to hold the Kite Feather Spear, and his thousands of transformations seem to be nothing.
I can’t send you reeds, but I wish you peace from the bottom of my heart.”
When Heidi was reciting poetry, Zhongli looked at her seriously and listened attentively.
"So be it."
"Okay." Zhongli wrote carefully on the silk cloth, his brushstrokes vigorous and impressive.
Heidi watched him do it in one go with a look of admiration on her face.
"What's the name of this poem?"
“Let’s call it ‘Youth’s Journey’.”
"Hang it up." Heidi hung the lantern high herself.
I hope the wind will bring peace to Xiao....
Zhongli looked at the flying silk cloth and said, "Yes, who doesn't know the pain of killing evil spirits? Yet he still did it without hesitation. My friend, you have really shown some youthful spirit in this."
"Hehe, I'm also learning from this." Heidi silently thanked the great poet Wang Wei in her heart.
……
It was night again, and Heidi sat on the bed early because of the strange noise last night.
She was flipping through the Liyue poetry collection she had bought today at the bedside.
"Teyvat's poems are all in five-character and seven-character regulated verse. There were no Li Bai or Su Shi in this era, so I copied freely during this poetry reading..." Heidi knew that poetry is a carrier of emotion, so famous and widely sung works will definitely resonate with the emotions of most people.
After flipping through a few pages, Heidi fell on the pillow, closed her eyes, recited a few poems, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Come on!" A man growled, followed by a groan of pain.
After a few strange laughs, there was a loud bang and a thunder exploded.
Heidi had a splitting headache and opened her eyes suddenly.
