Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

On the coast, waves beat against the pier. Last night's heavy rain added a lot of vitality to today's sea.

Confucius stood there with a group of students, the sea breeze whistling past their ears, making their wide clothes and long hair sway.

Looking at the surging sea, everyone felt shocked in their hearts, as if some famous quote from ancient times was on their lips, about to come out.

But when it was really spoken out, it was like falling from the altar, no longer having the glory.

Not long after, on the outskirts of northern Liyue Harbor, everyone saw the mountains from the sea, from the turbulent waves to the indestructible ones, and the faint shock in their hearts changed to solidity and stability.

This may be the unique charm of literati or Liyue people. What they see can change their mood. Some of them can even write famous quotes that will be passed down through the ages.

Zeng Xi looked at the mountains and fields, thought for a moment, looked at the three people beside him, and suggested: "Why don't you three compose a poem together? Those who are at a loss or can't answer will go back and drink a glass of wine as punishment?"

"Brother Zeng, since you have such a refined taste, I will certainly not refuse." Yan Ziyuan said with a smile.

Ran Ziyou bowed with both hands and said, "I will do my best."

"Brother Zeng, have you ever considered that I cannot drink?" Su Ping said dimly.

As soon as the voice fell, the three of them looked down at Su Ping and said in unison: "Little brother Su, you can drink three bowls of water instead!"

Su Ping half closed his eyes and had to accept the challenge. "Come on, but it would be embarrassing for you three senior brothers, who are highly educated, to fight with a child like me. It would be better if you..."

"This is wrong. Why should you be so modest, my junior brother?" Ran Ziyou, who had always been humble, pointed out the humility of others.

Yan Ziyuan also smiled and said: "Your talent is something that we rarely see in our lifetime, so there is no need to hide your shortcomings."

"It's started, it's started." Zeng Xi didn't give anyone a chance to refuse, and immediately said loudly: "The ancient immortals supported Mount Heng, and they talked about the ancient times before dawn."

"The cycle of spring and autumn transforms the mulberry fields, and the glass mountains and the sea of ​​moon contain new ideas." Yan Ziyuan continued with this line of poetry in an instant.

The remaining Ran Ziyou and Su Ping looked at each other. The latter bowed with both hands and said sincerely: "I am not very knowledgeable, please let Brother Ziyou show me first!"

"You're being too serious." Ran Ziyou sighed softly, looked up at the mountains and fields, felt the mystery of the scenery, and got to know the customs and people, as if he were that place, carrying all living things and lasting forever.

"When living beings step into the universe, they are just passing thieves..."

His chanting came to an abrupt halt because more than twenty masked bandits really ran out, holding shovels, crossbows, or glass bottles filled with elemental power.

"You made a wrong choice. You shouldn't have passed through here. Hand over all your valuables to me, or I'll kill you!"

The leader shouted viciously, but he might have underestimated the strength of both sides.

Although these are members of the treasure-stealing group and are stronger than ordinary people, these more than one hundred people are not all ordinary people.

If this group of scholars really get together, their physique might be stronger than that of ordinary people. After all, a gentleman cannot perform archery and chariot driving without good physical strength.

Therefore, when they heard the shout, they were not panicked at all. Instead, they looked eager to try and roll up their sleeves to beat people.

The members of the treasure-stealing group were also bewildered when they saw this situation.

"Boss, don't they say these scholars only know how to read and say some flowery rap?"

"Yes, it looks like they are going to fight us head-on!"

The leader's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Leave behind your Mora and all your valuables, or else don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, he also glanced at the women in the crowd. They were all beautiful girls in their prime. They couldn't be said to be absolutely beautiful, but they were still pretty good.

At this moment, an arrow whizzed over and pierced the leader's shoulder, causing severe pain, causing his face to distort and he screamed.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zilu, who was holding a bow and pulling a full moon. When he just went out, he was carrying a long cloth strip. Su Ping was still wondering what it was, and it turned out to be a bow and arrow.

"Damn it, brothers, grab your weapons!" The leader fell to the ground, screaming loudly while feeling severe pain.

At a command, more than 20 members of the treasure-stealing group raised the objects in their hands and shot crossbows or smashed elemental bottles towards the crowd.

Boom boom!

A dull bang was heard, and Confucius was seen standing in front of a group of students, his hands flashing with the light of rock elements. The huge rock wall he held up blocked all dangers.

Then, Confucius took out a glass ball that glowed with golden light from his sleeve, or should we say, the Eye of God.

The unique external magic organ on the continent of Teyvat allows the holder to use elemental power. Generally, it is placed on the surface in contact with the air so that it can be used at any time.

However, if one is very powerful, like Confucius, one can place the Eye of God at will, because there is not much difference.

"I...you!" A member of the treasure-stealing group was speechless for a moment, paused, and shouted: "Aren't you a scholar? How come you are so strong!"

Zilu snorted and said contemptuously: "You are so ignorant. How can you guess the Master's strength?"

"Zilu, you must treat others with courtesy," Confucius taught.

Zilu bowed his head and said, "But, but they are a group of treasure robbers."

"I know that you should treat others with courtesy, but that does not mean you should treat yourself with courtesy. You must know that when facing an enemy, you should not talk too much." Confucius said slowly.

Zilu opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say, "Master, it was you who said so much from beginning to end. Why are you teaching me?"

But reason told him that he must not do so, and silence was the best option.

Sure enough, the next moment, Confucius put his two fingers together like a pen knife and waved them casually at the fleeing treasure thieves.

In an instant, twenty-four streams of rock elemental forces flew out, no more and no less, entangled the bodies of all the treasure-stealing groups, and then pulled them back.

Then, with everyone staring in amazement, Confucius looked at Zilu, put away his divine eye, and taught him: "When facing an enemy, you must not be careless, especially when the two sides are evenly matched."

"But in this world, everything is determined by heaven and man, and there are exceptions. Just like today, it is just like this. Do you understand?"

Zilu carefully savored the meaning, and then laughed out loud: "Thanks to your teachings, Master, I have reached a new level!"

A few people couldn't help laughing, but the rest were bewildered and puzzled, not knowing what the two were talking about or what the mystery was.

Zeng Xi turned his head and looked at the three people beside him, and asked with a smile: "Three, can you hear the meaning of this?"

"Indeed, it's wonderful." Yan Ziyuan nodded with a smile on his face, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Ran Ziyou still said modestly: "I was lucky enough to figure it out. It really is a profound knowledge."

"Haha, what do you think, Brother Su?" Zeng Xi looked at the little Su Ping, who was not even half a person's height, wanting to see the child's comprehension.

Su Ping smiled and said, "Master is indeed worthy of being the sage of Confucianism. If someone has poor hearing, he may not be able to understand the meaning of this."

As soon as he said this, it seemed as if his words came true. The woman, Ji Fang, who had wanted to pinch his face earlier, came over and asked, "So, you understand everything, kid?"

Su Ping took three steps back without making any noise, "I understand."

"Oh, your little head is so smart?" Ji Fang rubbed her palms, her eyes sparkling slightly, and said, "Explain it to senior sister, I don't understand!"

Yan Ziyuan smiled gently. His handsome face was most attractive to this young girl who was just beginning to fall in love. "Junior sister Ji Fang, don't underestimate me because I am so young. Junior brother Su's talent may not be inferior to mine in the future!"

Ji Fang looked at the face for a few seconds, then looked down at the baby, and blurted out: "In terms of appearance? That's something we can consider!"

Su Ping couldn't help swallowing his saliva when these lewd words came out. Although he knew it was a joke, why were there such people everywhere? He was just a child. What were these people thinking?

“I don’t know how to read faces, but seeing that you have a handsome face and a straight facial structure, I’m sure you will have a similar future.” Yan Ziyuan explained in a very logical manner.

However, Su Ping felt that he was just making it up. There were many people who were good-looking when they were young but grew ugly later. Besides, Su Ping didn't rely on his face to make money, so he didn't care about his appearance at all.

"Ahem, Senior Sister, can I explain what the teacher said?" Su Ping felt that if he didn't speak up, the conversation might turn to something else, so he might as well seize the initiative.

"Sure, sure." Ji Fang made a gesture of invitation. She had an average-looking face, lightly made up, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a faint smile.

Su Ping spread his hands and explained, "What the Master said just now seemed to be teaching, but in fact it contained self-praise and a little ridicule."

"When facing an enemy, one should not say too much, but Master said a lot, and said that a single strike can lead to victory, and that this is an exception. Do you understand this principle, Senior Sister?"

"Oh, that's how it is." Ji Fang suddenly realized and smiled softly, "Thank you, Junior Brother Su, and Senior Brother Yan, it's true that you can't judge a person by appearance. There aren't many people who are both handsome and knowledgeable!"

After saying that, she turned and left, not giving the other two a chance to speak, and ran into the crowd, making it difficult to find her.

Zeng Xi held his forehead and sighed, "I can't choose her appearance, so what can I do if I'm not happy?"

Ran Ziyou felt a slight pain in his heart and cried out, "Alas, alas!"

"The road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky!" Yan Ziyuan added the second sentence with a smile. His already handsome face was now radiant, making the two of them look even more ordinary.

Zeng Xi was feeling depressed, but suddenly he remembered what happened before and felt a little better. "Ziyou, when we get back, you must make it clear, haha."

"Brother Zeng, we were disturbed by thieves on the way. Does this... count?" Ran Ziyou widened his eyes and looked at his good roommate who insisted that he drink.

"Why can't it be counted?" Zeng Xi, Yan Ziyuan and Su Ping said in unison. It is indeed the law of karma that one person suffers while three others are happy.

While they were chatting and laughing, the Qianyan Army arrived and took the treasure-stealing group away. Confucius then asked the students to choose a place and sit on the ground, while he stood and began to teach again.

"The two parties who came just now responded to the two sayings, I will not offend others unless they offend me. It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!"

"When I take action, it is only to protect myself, not to hurt others." As he spoke, he pointed at Zilu. This student was too reckless. If he did not change his temper, his achievements would be less than what he achieved.

After saying this, without following Confucius's instruction to ask questions and he would answer them, Zeng Xi was quick to lift up the younger fellow student beside him.

Just like that, Su Ping looked helpless and remained silent under the gaze of everyone.

Confucius said, "Su Ping, what do you need to be explained? Feel free to tell me."

Looking back at his fellow student who was determined not to give up, Su Ping hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, I would like to ask you, if someone is tripping me up and causing everything to go wrong, what should I do?"

"We should repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with justice. Otherwise, how can we repay kindness when we repay grievances with kindness?" Confucius paused, and then said, "Of course, we also need to think carefully about the cause and effect. If it is not the fault of the two of you, but an outsider caused the chaos, then the one who started it will have no descendants!"

"Thank you for telling me, Master." Su Ping bowed with both hands, but Zeng Xi, who was holding him, did not show any intention of letting go.

So Su Ping had to grit his teeth and asked another question: "I would like to ask again, when learning etiquette, should we recite it aloud and remember it in our minds?"

Confucius smiled faintly, "Rituals, if recited, are false; if remembered, are useless; only if practiced, and carried out daily, is the right path to great virtue!"
