Chapter 154 The Encounter of Wind and Time
Xu Ning has been wandering around the Mondstadt coast for three days.
Although we had the Dust-Hidden Gourd, so it wasn't exactly a case of living in the open, we still got really annoyed after wandering back and forth between Starfall Lake and the coast more than a dozen times.
When I have nothing to do, I will take out the fishing rod I bought from the Guojiu Lake and lie on the shore or lake to fish, hoping that I can catch the little white cat out of the lake in advance.
Of course, Xu Ning knew that he was just daydreaming.
Unless you can find an empty space yourself first.
Then follow Kong closely, and the moment he's about to cast his line, rush up, knock him unconscious, break his fishing rod, and try to catch him yourself. Maybe there'll still be a chance.
As a result of her continuous attempts, Qingyi was surprised as to why she had been eating fish more frequently these past few days.
Xu Ning sat listlessly on the beach, the rock beneath him the same one he had sat on in his previous life.
This is where the entire story of Genshin Impact begins.
However, with his presence now in Tivatri, it should be a new story.
"A new story...a new story..."
Xu Ning felt as if a thought was about to pop into his head.
But it's just that little bit off, and I just can't seem to grasp it.
Xu Ning stood up and paced on the beach. What was the story about?
Xu Ning looked at the vast, boundless sea and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
How could I forget about that deserted island!
"The wind brings new stories, and time turns them into myths."
If emptiness is not the beginning of everything, then wind and time are the beginning of all stories?
Thinking of this, Xu Ning immediately dragged a small boat out of the Dust-Hidden Cave and rowed it out to sea.
This boat was rented from a boat company by Beidou and me about five years ago during the Lantern Festival, when we went to Guyun Pavilion to help Xiao clear out the monsters.
After using it, I casually stuffed it into the cave and forgot to return it.
"Next time we go back to Liyue, we'll just say the ship is lost and pay the owner for a new one. Otherwise, the rental fee might cost me the price of two Dark Star ships."
Xu Ning, lost in thought, rowed for half a day until he finally spotted the small island that wasn't marked on the map at all.
As he slowly approached in his boat, Xu Ning vaguely saw a figure flash by on the island.
"That can't be! This is an unmarked island with no map, no land on any side, and no teleportation point. Would anyone else deliberately come here besides me?"
Xu Ning increased the intensity of his rowing, but even after the small boat reached the shore, he did not see any person or vessel appear or leave.
Xu Ning towed the small boat ashore to prevent it from being washed away by the sea, and then quickly ran around the island.
Apart from the plump sun crabs on the beach, there were no other people in sight.
"Perhaps I'm just seeing things?"
Xu Ning walked to the sundial on the stone steps in the very center of the island and saw the broken inscription on it again.
"The wind brings new stories, and time turns them into myths."
Although Xu Ning calls this island an uninhabited island, it is actually quite lively.
There are wrecked ships, dilapidated tents, and completely destroyed ruins.
Xu Ning walked to the collapsed tent and pulled out the shovel stuck next to a boulder.
"It's not completely weathered yet, it's still usable!"
Xu Ning shouldered the shovel and turned to leave. If he remembered correctly, the shovel's owner's notes were buried beneath its location.
But I'm not interested in this for the time being.
I thought I could find some clues related to emptiness here, but after going around in circles, I found nothing.
Xu Ning also adopted a more relaxed attitude, deciding to retrieve the buried treasure chests based on his memories from his previous life before leaving, so that his trip wouldn't be in vain.
The one that was half-buried on the beach and the one under the pillar next to the sundial have been opened.
Xu Ning was now going to dig up the two mounds of earth and stones beside the road, which looked like small graves.
An exquisite treasure chest was unearthed from each mound of earth.
Xu Ning casually slapped it open.
However, when Xu Ning opened the second treasure chest, he saw something strange at the bottom of the chest.
This is a dark red square.
It resembled a crystal, yet was completely opaque, its rich red color like congealed blood.
"This thing looks familiar!"
As Xu Ning was pondering, the dark red crystal block in his hand suddenly multiplied, then increased to four.
Xu Ning's face immediately turned pale.
"Heavenly Principle! This is Heavenly Principle's skill!"
Xu Ning flicked his wrist and threw out the crystal block combination that was growing larger and larger in his hand.
The crystal block multiplied very quickly, and before it even hit the ground, it had already grown into a cuboid taller than a person, resembling a coffin.
The cuboid landed with a thud, shattering into pieces that slowly vanished into thin air.
A brown-clad, blond-haired boy was left behind, lying quietly as if he were fast asleep.
Xu Ning wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. For a moment, he even thought that it was Heaven's justice that had attacked him.
Fortunately, it was just the void that was originally sealed, but for some unknown reason, the way it was sealed was reversed and it was released.
Xu Ning approached the boy, squatted down, and looked at the handsome face that resembled Ying's. He thought to himself, "This is definitely the protagonist template. He's almost one ten-thousandth more handsome than me!"
She reached out and gently patted the boy's face, waking him up.
The boy sat up, looked around in a daze, and then his bewildered gaze settled on Xu Ning's face beside him.
"Where am I? What happened?"
Xu Ning actually hated this kind of plot the most. Explaining his current situation to someone who had no memory was an extremely demanding test of patience.
Fortunately, Xu Ning still had some patience, so he briefly told the boy.
"I do not know either."
The boy paused for a moment, then asked again, "And who are you? Why are you here?"
"I am Xu Ning, an adventurer. I was just passing by and saw you sleeping here, so I came to check on you!"
The boy stood up, looked around, and was somewhat incredulous that he had ended up on a deserted island.
"Hello, my name is Sora. Could you please take me out of here?"
Xu Ning pointed to the small boat on the beach, "No problem at all."
Sora walked to the beach, looked at the collapsed tents, and murmured, "It looks like someone came here a long time ago, but why didn't they wake me up?"
Kong walked to a rock about the size of a bench and picked up a sword that was leaning against it.
With a clang, a gleaming, blunt sword was drawn from the air.
Xu Ning stared in disbelief at the sword in his empty hand. He had seen the sword earlier, but seeing the thick layer of dust on it, he assumed it was already rusted from the seawater.
Unexpectedly, what I pulled out of my empty hand was brand new, as if it had just come out of the oven.
Is this the power of the protagonist's incredible luck?
Xu Ning pulled a fishing rod from the cave and handed it to Kong, saying, "Sit down and fish!"
