Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

After sailing on the sea for more than ten days, I was used to seeing the sea and sky being the same color, but I still wanted to see if there were some different scenery.

However, at sea, apart from the occasional encounter with other ships, the only thing that can cause some changes is the white-haired seagulls flying by.

Many gentlemen had their own way of passing boredom, and they would gather in groups of three or five to play on the deck, play chess, feed seagulls, or read books and recite poems on the deck.

As time passed, I finally saw a piece of land. Countless bubbles were floating on the ground, which looked like a dream.

Confucius stood at the bow, pointed to the island and explained: "That is Kaiji Island, an outer island of Inazuma. In ancient times, it was ruled by a demon named Orobar."

"Later, the god who ruled over the Inazuma clan, the god of thunder, Baal, led his troops to capture Kaiji Island, and on that island..."

As he was speaking, Confucius pointed to the island further east. From afar, one could see a huge canyon there that ran across the entire island. The sea water in the canyon was covered with purple lightning, which looked very dangerous.

"That is Bayao Island. It was on this island that the Thunder God Baal killed the Great Snake Demon God Orobaer, and left behind this natural barrier that can be described as a masterpiece of nature."

With just one word, all the students were amazed. Some speculated on the battle situation at that time, some wondered why they were fighting, some mourned in silence, and some talked about it.

"I didn't expect that the teacher is not only knowledgeable, but also well-versed in foreign history."

"Can we be called saints? Let's study hard and don't bring disgrace upon the name of the master's students."

"Um..."

In addition to the above reactions, there was another exception. Su Ping sat on the deck, holding his chin with one hand, looking very leisurely. Of course, he was listening to the teacher's introduction, but he didn't take it seriously.

Because this is the history about Inazuma, it has little to do with him, and there is no need to know too much about it. It is enough to know it, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

Confucius continued, "Speaking of Inazuma, what is your impression or opinion of Inazuma? Feel free to speak your mind."

After the Master finished his necessary words, a young man stood up and said, "Inazuma's culture and the origins of most items all come from Liyue."

"That's true." Confucius nodded slightly and continued, "But, you don't have to look down on them just because they learned from us."

The young man said, "It's also possible with Inazuma. Green comes from blue and is greener than blue. Ice is condensed by water, and cold is water?"

"It may be possible that what Xunzi said is true for some of the current situations. For example, in the discussion environment of publications, Inazuma is far better than Liyue!" Confucius sighed slightly.

"Master, what you want to say is that we should not look down on other countries just because Liyue is powerful now. Perhaps one day, Liyue will also be able to catch up with other countries?" Xun Qing asked.

"Yes." Confucius nodded slightly and then said: "Thinking of progress, not closing the door, taking the essence and discarding the dross is the greatest virtue. If anyone enters the official career in the future, I hope he can follow this principle."

"Yes." All the students answered in unison.

Confucius stroked his beard and smiled, "Since we have mentioned the matter of catching up, let's talk about teaching and solving doubts, which is the matter between teachers and students."

"In your eyes, what should a teacher be like and what should a student be like?"

There was silence, but soon someone stood up and answered: "The teacher should be knowledgeable and the students should be willing to learn with an open mind. This will be a good situation for both of them."

"Yes, and no." Confucius spoke slowly.

Another person stood up and asked, "The one who is knowledgeable is the teacher, and the one who is ignorant is the student?"

“Yes, but not all.”

Another person stood up and said, "The one who teaches and explains is the teacher, and the one who follows is the student."

"That's right, but it's not the whole picture." Confucius smiled slightly, and a gentle look appeared on his ordinary face.

A group of students fell into distress. Later, a few more people asked questions, and they were all told that their answers were correct but not comprehensive.

Zeng Xi and other fellow students who were sitting behind the students all smiled but said nothing. Because they were too eloquent, the teacher ordered them not to answer questions unless no one asked any questions.

After all, we have to give others some opportunities, otherwise the limelight will be snatched away by these seniors. What's the point?

Sitting with them was their junior, Su Ping.

Because he was too outstanding and had extensive connections, he was placed on the side of his senior classmates, which was also a helpless move.

Looking at the thoughtful looks of their younger classmates, these seniors were either anxious, calm, or smiling, as if they were looking at the path they had walked in the past.

Confucius stroked his beard again, and seeing that no one answered, he said, "The head of the Eight Great Masters of Liyue once wrote in an article: There are differences in the order of learning, and there are specializations in skills. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher's opinion does not have to be better than the disciple's."

"When I first read this, I was deeply moved by this truth. I am now telling you again for the purpose of preaching and helping you."

The students in the front all nodded, not quite understanding what was said. The students in the back smiled, naturally understanding the meaning.

After such a discussion, the ship finally reached the pier of the outlying island of Narukamijima, the main island of Inazuma.

After getting off the big ship and walking on the wooden plank road on the sea, a group of students led by the teacher looked around.

The soldiers standing guard on the roadside also held guns, but only the leader held a sword and wore heavy armor.

The teacher stopped and looked back at his students. "Inazuma has three great bugyo, namely Kanjo bugyo, who is in charge of foreign affairs, shrine bugyo, who is in charge of festivals and ceremonies, and Tenryo bugyo, who is in charge of military affairs and reports directly to Inazuma Raijin, the general of thunder and lightning."

"The three great guardians each have their own duties. This is similar to the seven stars and eight gates of our Liyue."

The students nodded and continued walking forward. They came to a crisscrossing street with red maple leaves falling on the roadside, creating a desolate and lonely atmosphere.

Looking at the layout of the streets and the form of the houses, it always gives people a sense of solemnity, as if there is a sword in its sheath, but the edge has not yet been revealed.

Su Ping looked around. He had never been here in the game. He had only heard of this country from a person who liked to pretend to be an idle person and drink tea.

It seems that the lockdown order mentioned in the speech has not been implemented yet, otherwise how could so many people get ashore safely without anyone coming to check on them.

When you arrive at your travel destination, the first thing you need to do is to find a place to stay. You can't just sleep in the open air with the sky as your blanket and the ground as your bed, right?

Confucius thought that there was nothing wrong with his behavior, but there was still a large group of students, and he couldn't let their foundation be ruined at such a young age.

So, the group went to the International Chamber of Commerce on the outlying island and rented a number of rooms nearby, which made the manager very happy.

Without saying a few words, he called for people to come and help these generous masters move things and carry luggage, and they were settled in no time.

After that, Confucius let the students move around freely and go sightseeing in various places tomorrow. Such an enlightened proposal was naturally unanimously agreed upon.

Among them, Su Ping was the most helpless one, because before he could even open his mouth, the three fellow students took action, covering his mouth, fixing him, and moving him away, all in one set of movements, flowing like flowing water.

If someone who doesn't know the situation saw them, they would probably think that these three people were human traffickers from somewhere.

After walking out of a street, the three of them still had no intention of letting go of their younger brothers. They probably regarded it as a stage that they would definitely have to go through in the future, so they started practicing in advance.

Su Ping sighed slightly, the helplessness in his eyes was hard to describe.

After seeing this, Yan Ziyuan laughed and said, "Little brother, don't act like this. I will compensate you later. Now, I will inconvenience you."

“Mmmmm…” Su Ping mumbled. No one could hear what he said, and no one wanted to know. Anyway, this was enough for practice.

Seeing him like this, Ran Ziyou couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the scene is like this in the future, it will be quite joyful."

"Indeed, I just don't know what kind of child I will have, hmm..." Zeng Xi pondered for a moment, glanced at Su Ping, and suddenly had an idea, "I don't have high requirements, someone like my junior brother will be fine!"

Yan Ziyuan twitched his lips and said, "Brother Zeng, this is not too high a requirement. It is rare to see someone like me in a century!"

"That's hard to say." Zeng Xi laughed.

Ran Ziyou also smiled and said softly: "Brother Zeng's ambition is beyond my reach. I admire you."

"Thank you, thank you." Zeng Xi waved his hand.

The three of them played for a while before letting their little brother go. They clapped their hands and smiled widely.

"You three, ah..." Su Ping put his hands behind his back and spoke like an old man.

But this childish face and petite body, combined with this behavior, seem a little funny.

Sure enough, when the three senior students saw him like this, they laughed even louder, clapped their hands on their thighs, and fell forward and backward, almost unable to straighten their backs with laughter.

Su Ping rolled his eyes at them, his hands dropped naturally, and the earnest expression on his face disappeared without a trace. In a second, he seemed like a different person, with a completely different temperament.

Perhaps he had laughed enough, Zeng Xi panted slightly and asked, "Little brother, how was your experience with us just now? Tell us what you think."

"Yes, tell me about it."

"Let us also improve some of the shortcomings."

Yan Ziyuan and Ran Ziyou also surrounded him, waiting for what to come.

Under their expectation, Su Ping spoke slowly, "I really...feel sorry for my future nephews and nieces. If they were four or five years old, it would be fine, but if they are still in their infancy, how can they withstand all this torture from you!"

"You are right, little brother. How about you teach us?" Zeng Xi closed his eyes slightly and smiled like a fox.

Su Ping shook his head, "No."

"Why?"

“You won’t be able to use it.”

"We have not lost our descendants, so how could we not use them?"

"Then we'll talk about it later."

"Okay." The three agreed in unison, then walked out of the city.

On the spot, Su Ping sighed, stepped forward, and hurried to catch up...
