Genshin Impact: Knowing the truth, why choose?

"It's the Sea Lantern Festival again. If I remember correctly, the theme of this year's Mingxiao Lantern should be Tian Tianjun, the guide to the sky. Am I right, Uncle Tian?"

"Not bad, I know all this information!"

In Three Bowls, Gu Xin and Uncle Tian were drinking wine and chatting, and while talking, they mentioned the theme of this year's Mingxiao Lantern.

"Time flies so fast. The last Lantern Festival seems like yesterday." Uncle Tian couldn't help but feel after taking a sip of wine and looking at the sky full of lanterns.

Hearing this, Gu Xin rolled his eyes: "Quickly? I think it's quite slow. Since the last Lantern Festival ended, I feel like I've been busy all of a sudden."

Thinking of the things that happened after last year's Hai Lantern Festival, including taking Mingsha, meeting Idas, solving the Mondstadt Wind Demon Dragon incident, Liyue inviting immortals to send immortal rituals and Jisha Luosi, Gu Xin felt that he was really busy during this period. .

Even during the time when he brought the dying Tianji Pavilion back to life, Gu Xin didn't feel very tired, but this year Gu Xin really felt tired.

"Oh, I have been busy for so long, and I finally made it to this year's Hai Lantern Festival!" Gu Xin shook his head, temporarily getting rid of Ma Fanshu in his mind and yawned tiredly.

"Haha, it's quite normal to feel slow. It's a feeling unique to young people, so an old man like me feels a little faster." Uncle Tian poured another bowl of wine and continued.

"That's right...that's wrong! It seems like I'm older than you. Can you please don't take advantage of me?" Gu Xingang wanted to agree with Uncle Tian, ​​but suddenly he seemed to realize something and looked at Uncle Tian with a smile. , but there was a vague anger in this smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Hahaha!" Looking at Gu Xin's eyes, Uncle Tian drank a small drink and didn't care.

"Tch, it's starting again, boring." Gu Xin rolled his eyes, feeling contempt for Uncle Tian's act of pretending to be stupid.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, let's have a toast. After drinking this drink, I'm going back to accompany my daughter!" As he said this, Uncle Tian raised the wine bowl with a smile.

"Tch." Gu Xin shook his head helplessly and also raised the wine bowl.

After the two wine bowls collided with each other, the two drank the wine in their respective wine bowls, then said goodbye to each other and planned to leave.

But before leaving, the two wished each other well.

"Happy Hai Lantern Festival, Uncle Tian!"

"Haha, happy Lantern Festival!"

After leaving Sanwanbu Port, Gu Xin did not choose to go back to Tianji Pavilion directly. Instead, he took a stroll in Liyue Port and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Although he has seen this scenery countless times, he never gets tired of it because the scenery is always changing, so he will observe different scenery every time he walks.

The most important thing is that this is the place where he lived and grew up.

Even in the future, Gu Xin will always miss Liyue Port when he is on the Star Dome Train.

After wandering for a while, Gu Xin finally returned to Tianji Pavilion.

After returning to Tianji Pavilion, Gu Xin came to the pavilion on the third floor of Tianji Pavilion to enjoy the scenery for a while, but saw Idas sitting on the pavilion, looking at the lanterns in confusion.

"Idas, why are you here? Are you back so early?" Gu Xin looked at Idas and asked. He originally thought that You Yeli and the others would definitely not come back at this time today, but no I thought I would see Idas at the pavilion.

"Pavilion Master, I went out this morning, but Liyue Port is a bit free today, so I came back." Faced with Gu Xin's doubts, Idas explained.

"It's normal to have free time. After all, during the Hai Lantern Festival, the night is the busiest." Gu Xin looked at the still brightly lit night market not far away and smiled.

"Sea Lantern Festival, I seem to have heard of this festival recently, but what kind of festival is it?" Idas looked confused and puzzled.

Gu Xin was stunned by Idas's doubts: "Oh, I almost forgot. You just came here not long ago, so naturally you don't know what the Sea Lantern Festival is. The Sea Lantern Festival can be said to be a festival to commemorate heroes. At night, people It will release Xiao Lanterns and Ming Xiao Lanterns to rise into the night sky, you see, those are Xiao Lanterns and Ming Xiao Lanterns.”

Looking in the direction Gu Xin pointed, Idas also understood the names of those lantern-like things.

"Then what's the point of releasing these things?" Idas asked.

Gu Xin smiled at this and continued to explain: "That's a good question. The meaning of those lights is [May the fire be passed down from generation to generation, and the virtues will never be extinguished]. People believe that the bright lights at night will guide the souls of the past heroes to return home. And the Sea Lantern Festival is also It has another meaning, which is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.”

Listening to Gu Xin's explanation, Idas nodded and sighed: "What a grand festival. This reminds me of a festival in my hometown. Its name is Yuanchun."

"Yuan Chun, this seems to be a good name for a festival... Wait, Idas, has your memory recovered?" Gu Xin, who originally wanted to agree with the name "Yuan Chun" as the name of a festival, suddenly realized something. He looked at Idas in surprise.

Idas shook his head regretfully: "No, but as time goes by, the memory seems to be slowly recovering. Although I don't know how long it will take to fully recover."

"Don't worry, it's a good thing to recover. Although I really don't know how long it will take, at least there is hope, right?" Gu Xin comforted him.

"That's right." Idas thought for a moment and agreed with what Gu Xin said.

"By the way, Idas, don't you plan to go and have a look at the night market on the night of the Hai Lantern Festival? There are a lot of things there. It will be a great experience." At this moment, Gu Xin came out to Idas. An idea.

Idas hesitated after hearing this, but Gu Xin patted Idas on the shoulder, and then pointed downward: "Don't hesitate, look, Handu is waiting for you below."

Looking in the direction Gu Xin pointed, Idas saw Han looking around for something.

Just when Idas looked down, Han raised his head and saw Idas, so he quickly greeted Idas: "Sister Idas, why are you in Tianji Pavilion? I have been looking for you for a long time. We Let’s go to the night market and play!”

"Here we come! By the way, are you coming with me, Pavilion Master?" Idas asked Gu Xin after agreeing to Han.

Gu Xin shook his head: "No, I'll go there later."

"I understand, then Pavilion Master, I'm leaving!"

"Well, have fun."

...........................

...........................

Just like this, a few more days passed, and we came to the last day of the Sea Lantern Festival.

And this day, according to tradition, is the day when the Mingxiao Lantern is put on.

Gu Xin, You Yeli, Idas, and Han were sitting on the pavilion waiting for the lanterns and fireworks show to start.

In front of each of the four people, there was a lantern and a small bowl of wine.

"It's almost time, it's time to start." At this moment, Gu Xin suddenly spoke.

As Gu Xin finished speaking, the Mingxiao lantern with the theme of "Shifting the Sky to Guide Tian Tianjun" at the port began to shine brightly.

As if Yixiao Dao Tianjun came to life, he started running over Liyue Port.

Wherever they passed, all the sky lanterns lit up, and various styles of sky lanterns began to float into the sky, forming a beautiful scenery together with the stars in the sky.

In the war a long time ago, the people of Liyue would release bright lights at night to prevent the fighting soldiers from losing their way home and their hearts.

Now that the war has long ended, the purpose and original intention of releasing the flying lantern may have changed.

But so what?

The purpose of the past no longer applies to Liyue today. Now Liyue has a new purpose for releasing the Feixiao Lantern, which is also a good thing.

At this moment, as the sky lanterns all floated to the sky above the seaside, Tian Tianjun, the guide to the sky, also began to run towards that side, and then jumped up.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the Mingxiao lantern themed by Yixiao Dao Tianzun suddenly exploded, forming a gorgeous fireworks.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xin and others smiled, then picked up the wine bowls and touched them together, and said the words of blessing together.

"Happy Lantern Festival!"
