Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Under the clear sky, the sun shines on every inch of Tianheng Mountain, as if covering this ancient mountain with a layer of golden gauze. Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli travel together.

They left Bubulu in Liyue Harbor and headed west, arriving near the ancient city walls of Tianheng Mountain.

The ancient city wall has gone through many hardships, but it still stands tall, as if telling the past glory and vicissitudes. The four of them walked up the stone steps and reached the ruins.

At the highest point of the ruins, a huge crossbow bed comes into view. It lies there quietly, like a sleeping guardian.

Shao Yun walked forward and looked carefully at the return machine. It was huge and powerful.

He turned around, looked at Zhongli, and asked in confusion: "Is this the Guizhongji?"

Zhongli nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Yes, this is the return machine."

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but frown. He looked at Gui Zhongji's sharp crossbow and its great power, and a question arose in his mind.

"I think it's more suitable for hunting rather than capturing animals alive. Although I don't want to say anything weird, Ying and Paimon, are you two sure that Qiqi doesn't want to eat mutton?"

After hearing this, Paimeng scratched his head and said in confusion: "But Qiqi said that the coconut sheep was indeed caught with this thing? She shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Shao Yun shook his head, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes. He said, "That little girl has never hunted before! If Gui Zhongji shoots an arrow, let alone the coconut sheep, even that ruins guard will be shot through. How can she be captured alive? Not to mention getting milk."

After saying that, Shao Yun took out a rope and shook it slightly in front of the three people, and said seriously: "Instead of discussing this, it would be better for me to ride a horse, put this rope around the neck of that coconut sheep, and catch it directly."

Paimeng tilted her head, as if replaying the scene described by Shao Yun in her mind. After a moment, she said, "But Qiqi said that the coconut sheep is a semi-immortal beast. Using immortal weapons to hunt it should be a more appropriate method."

There was a childish earnestness in her voice.

When Shao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh or cry. He smiled awkwardly and shook his head, "Hahaha..."

I was speechless and could only laugh. This is not how you catch sheep, let alone something so fictitious.

At this moment, Zhongli walked forward and carefully examined the ancient return machine, frowning slightly. Then, he turned around and said to the three people: "This return machine is no longer usable. It is broken."

When Paimon heard this, she showed a surprised expression on her face. She asked in confusion: "Broken? Can immortal things also be damaged?"

Zhongli nodded, his voice steady and powerful.

"Yes, after thousands of years of wind and frost, even the immortal mechanism can hardly maintain the status quo."

Ying was more concerned about the repair of the Guizhongji. She walked closer to Zhongli, carefully observed the Guizhongji, and asked, "So, can this Guizhongji be repaired?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said, "I remember that there are spare materials to deal with possible damage to the Guizhong Machine. We can look around and see if we can find materials to repair it."

After Zhongli finished speaking, several people began to look for materials in this ancient city wall.

“I found the ingredients!”

Ying's voice was full of joy.

Shao Yun and Paimeng approached quickly, with the same joy on their faces.

The three of them worked together to bring the materials needed for repair to the side of the return machine.

Zhongli stood in front of the Guizhong machine, looking at the materials placed on the ground, and whispered: "Please wait a moment, I will try to repair it."

After saying that, Zhongli began to repair it, using various materials to patch it up.

After a while, Zhongli stopped what he was doing. He looked up at Ying, Shao Yun and Paimeng with a satisfied smile on his face. He pointed at Gui Zhongji and said, "Look, it's been repaired."

The three of them gathered around it, and the broken parts had been reconnected. It seemed to have regained its vitality, standing there quietly, waiting for the next start.

Afterwards, Ying and Paimeng used the telescope function of the Guizhong machine to search for the legendary coconut sheep.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and expectation about the unknown, as if a mysterious creature might be hidden behind every patch of grass and every hill.

Shao Yun was standing aside, kicking the stones at his feet out of boredom. His movements seemed casual, but they revealed an indescribable calmness and composure.

Zhongli noticed Shao Yun's actions and walked over gently. He looked at Shao Yun with a smile, his tone full of concern.

"Mr. Shao Yun, you don't seem to be interested in finding coconut sheep?"

Shao Yun raised his head, looked at Zhongli, nodded slightly and said: "I won't focus my energy on such fictional creatures. For me, it's better to think about what to eat for dinner than to think about where the coconut sheep is."

Zhongli nodded to show his understanding. But he did not give up his curiosity about the coconut sheep and continued, "Aren't you curious about what kind of creature this coconut sheep is? Perhaps it really exists in some corner of this world."

Shao Yun shook his head and said affirmatively: "What you don't know is fake. In my opinion, it's just something that the silly little girl imagined."

Zhongli did not refute, but just smiled and nodded. But he also believed that there were always some unknown things in the world waiting for people to explore.

"You are so sure that the coconut sheep does not exist," Zhongli asked, looking at Shao Yun's confident expression, "then why do you let Ying decide whether to look for it or not?"

Shao Yun listened to Zhongli's words quietly, then turned his gaze to Ying who was controlling the Guizhong Machine, and explained to Zhongli.

"In fact, we didn't plan this trip together. She took me, who was confused, to find the direction in the endless journey. She was the one who made the decisions on important matters, and I was just a companion. We had a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary. I tried to make decisions for her myself, but Ying didn't seem to buy it."

After saying this, Shao Yun's eyes swept across the surrounding mountains and the stone forest in the distance, as if he wanted to engrave all these beautiful scenery into his heart.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the gentle breeze brushing against his cheeks, and then whispered, "Besides, the scenery here is so picturesque, let's just come out to see the scenery."

Zhongli listened to Shao Yun's words quietly and nodded, as if agreeing with his answer. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever thought about where this journey will end?"

Shao Yun shook his head, a helpless smile on his face.

"The end? That's too far away."

After hearing this, Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said: "Liyue is a place full of charm. Perhaps you can consider settling here."

Shao Yun smiled upon hearing this and replied, "If Liyue had other delicious drinks besides tea, I might actually consider it."

Zhongli smiled slightly, touched his chin and said, "Brother Shao Yun, you are wrong. In addition to tea, Liyue also has fine wine and delicious food. Have you ever tried three bowls of Guogang's fermented rice balls?"

Shao Yun was stunned, apparently unfamiliar with the name: "Ah? Three bowls of Hong Kong-style rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice?"

Can that be called wine? If I put apples in the cellar and let them ferment naturally, the alcohol content would be higher than that.

Zhongli looked at Shao Yun's surprised expression and said with a smile: "It seems that you have never tasted it. In this case, I will invite you, Ying and Paimeng to go to the storyteller Tian Tiezui in Chihuyan tonight. We can listen to the story while tasting the delicious food and wine, how about it?"

Shao Yun turned his head and glanced at Ying and Paimeng who were concentrating on operating the Guizhong Machine, with a glimmer of warmth in his eyes: "Thank you for your invitation, I will take them with me."

After that, Shao Yun joked, "As for the rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice, I can try it, but if it doesn't taste good, can I destroy the store?"

Zhongli said with some embarrassment: "If you smash the store, you will be taken away by the Qianyan Army. I suggest you don't do it."

……

Shao Yun and Zhongli were having a leisurely conversation when the sudden noise broke out, like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake.

Below, I saw a burly masked man leading two companions in similar attire, walking towards me with big strides. Their faces were covered with black masks, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes.

The big man in the lead had a rough and shrill voice.

"Hey, you guys, what are you doing?"

Shao Yun and Zhongli's attention was instantly attracted by the three sudden appearances, and they looked at the three uninvited guests.

At this time, Ying and Paimeng heard the sound and left Guizhongji, walking quietly to Shao Yun. The three of them looked at the three uninvited guests together.

Three masked men quickly climbed up the stairs and came in front of the crowd.

The leading man looked at the repaired Guizhong machine and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"This is... that big crossbow? You guys actually fixed it! What on earth do you want to do?"

Zhongli frowned, his tone clearly filled with displeasure.

"My friend, please be careful with your words. This is not a crossbow, but a Guizhong machine. Also, before asking questions, you should first state your name. This is basic etiquette."

The leading man seemed even angrier after hearing what Zhongli said. He stared at Zhongli with wide eyes and an arrogant tone.

"You dandy boy, have your eyes been pecked out by a bird? Can't you see that we are a group of treasure robbers?"

Shao Yun shook his head as he listened, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? I was wondering why there was a cowardly vibe in the air. It turns out they are a group of treasure-stealing gangs that bully the weak and fear the strong."

His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

After listening to this, Huang Mazi stared at Shao Yun in front of him with an angry face. His eyes were like copper bells, and he stared at Shao Yun fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Hey! Who do you think you are? I'm Huang Mazi, a well-known boss of the Liyue Treasure Stealing Group!" His voice was rough and sharp, like a sharp blade cutting through the silent ancient city walls, causing an echo.

After hearing this, Shao Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

If you were Zhang Mazi, I would take you to Goose City. But unfortunately your name is Huang Mazi, which is a bad name.

He shook his head slightly, finding Huang Mazi's self-praise ridiculous. He said calmly, "If you were Zhang Mazi, I would still respect you, but why are you pretending to be so arrogant, Huang Mazi?"

Seeing this, the masked sturdy man at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Boss, stop talking nonsense with these people, let's do it! I feel that these people must have a lot of money! Kill them quickly!"

He is so skilled, obviously this is not the first time he has done this.

After hearing this, Huang Mazi nodded, with a hint of greed and ferocity flashing in his eyes. He patted the masked strong man on the shoulder to show his appreciation.

Then he pulled out a shiny knife from his waist. The knife flashed in the sun, which was extremely dazzling. He pointed at Shao Yun and others and said viciously: "You guys are really idle. Last time, this crossbow almost pierced one of my brothers into a string. We spent a lot of effort to break it, and you fixed it? You must stay here today."

After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Shao Yun's eyes.

He stepped forward and pointed in the direction of Liyue Harbor, giving the three men a chance to survive.

"Listen, if you go to Liyue Harbor and surrender to the Thousand Rocks Army now, you can live. Otherwise, I will string your heads together and hang them on this ancient city wall. Do you understand?"
