Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

Xiao Zhongli looked at Wan Ye who was surrounded by the crowd. The people downstairs were still making a lot of noise and happiness. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he thought it was a different experience to be part of the fun occasionally.

"Grandpa, we have already heard the story of Xiao Shangxian, why don't you tell me yours?" After listening to the stories of Xiao and Ling Mengxue, Wendy felt as if she was not satisfied.

Although Morax in front of him has always been a somewhat rigid and stubborn person in his impression, but after all, the old man has lived for such an old age, there should be many stories that he doesn't know.

"What's wrong? You have some rare free time, but instead of taking a good rest you are looking at me like this. Do you want to hear my story?" Little Zhongli only took one look at the smiling Barbatos in front of him and guessed what he was thinking.

There is an ancient poem that says:

Old friends look at each other as if for love. Don't worry about the rain in the deep night, the lonely shadow in the small window lamp.

Zhongli picked up the fine tea and took a sip. Wendy did not say anything, but just waited quietly for him to continue.

"Do you know what this poem is trying to express?" Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Barbatos.

"I don't understand the elegance of your Liyue. Old man, please don't keep me in suspense and explain it to me." Wendy shook his head. Although he was a bard, he did not have a deep understanding of Liyue poetry.

“This poem depicts the feelings of longing and remembrance between friends after going through countless hardships.”

Little Zhongli glanced at the 'Lock of the World' in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the glass lily that bloomed before dawn and the "girl" who could be called a close friend...

"Hehe, just friends?" Wendy narrowed his eyes and looked at the Rock God who had successfully abdicated in front of him.

Zhongli did not answer Wendy's question, but continued speaking.

"About 3700 to 6000 years ago, I can't remember exactly when. At that time, the Guiliyuan area of ​​Liyue was still a wasteland, but even so, there were still some hardworking people who gathered here. They helped each other and farmed together, so the population of the Guiliyuan area has been growing."

"As the population continued to grow, it eventually attracted the attention of a god. Finally one day, the god of dust, who was later called the God of Dust, descended on this area."

"'After all', she is the God of Dust, and is good at raising dust. With a wave of her hand, the dust all over the world can cover the sky and earth for thousands of miles......"

"The demons in the Demon Age all had their own extraordinary abilities." Wendy nodded. In that cruel era, it was very difficult to survive. Meeting a kind-hearted demon was the greatest blessing for people of that era. Of course, if the demon protecting them had extraordinary abilities, then their chances of surviving would be even greater.

“‘Zhonggui’ is a very smart demon god. Not only does she possess extraordinary abilities, but she is also very hands-on and creative. The immortal weapon Guizhongji of our Liyue was created by her. Even now, it can help our Liyue resist foreign invasions.” Little Zhongli showed rare praise when talking about this friend.

"She set up strong crossbows to protect the safety of her territory, led the local people to farm, and made regulations to restrain the people. At that time, the people in the Guiliyuan area lived and worked in peace. However, the wise God of Dust knew very well that in that era when demons were rampant and gods were rising, she could not protect her people with her own abilities. Therefore, she needed a strong ally to guide the people here with her."

"So, the God of Dust came to you, right?" Wendy laughed secretly in her heart. This old man not only told a story, but also secretly helped her.

Zhongli thought back to the day when he first met the God of Dust, 'Zhonggui'.

Guiliyuan at that time was very different from what it is now. At that time, the entire Guiliyuan was in full bloom with light blue glazed lilies. A girl in a big coat sleeves stood in the flowers. The fragrance of lilies spread, the soft breeze floated, and the tips of the grass made a slight sound.

"I didn't expect that the legendary rock god Morax would actually..." The girl hesitated to speak, with a playful smile on her face.

"Here, this is a token of love I give you." The girl pretended to be solemn when presenting the token, but she could not hide the joy on her face at all.

"How stupid! The contract hasn't even been formally signed yet. She's just acting on her own." Morax thought with a frown at that time.

She only investigated her own strength briefly, and did not have a deep understanding of her own character, yet she rashly came to seek an ally. Morax felt that the girl in front of him was a little too naive.

But obviously she didn't think so after all. She seemed to show great curiosity about this demon god with a similar identity to herself. She surrounded Morax all day long, trying to read more information from his every move.

The token that the girl handed to Morax was the Earthly Chain. It was a little gadget she designed herself. She thought Morax must be a very smart demon god, and she happily gave him this little thing as a token, and hoped that he could crack it in the future, because it contained the words she wanted to say to him, which were words she could not say in front of him no matter what.

"Then what? So, old man, have you unlocked the shackles of this world?" After hearing this, Wendy finally couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Zhongli.

"Actually, Guiliyuan was not called this name before. When Chen Shen and I met, the place had not been named yet." Little Zhongli sighed.

"I know this question. Let me guess. It's Zhongli. The name Guiliyuan comes from a combination of one character from each of your names in the mortal world." Wendy felt that she must have guessed correctly.

"If I tell you that 'Zhongli' is actually my original name, I'm afraid you won't believe it." Little Zhongli looked at Wendy who was surprised.

The seven earthly rulers in the eyes of the world generally have their own titles.

For example, Morax is known as the "God of Contract" and the "God of Rock", while Thunder Stalemate is known as the "God of Thunder" and the "God of Eternity".

In addition to the demon name Baalzebub, Thor also has the real name "Shadow".

Venti nodded. If that was the case, then Morax, the God of Rock, most likely also had the real name "Zhongli".
