The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Head of the Snake God,

Chen Tianfeng sat cross-legged on the coffin, looking at the one-time secret realm he had built with his own hands, which was truly amazing - Chen Tianfeng was a god, and he was half dead, so he was half a ghost - and wondered if there was anything that needed to be improved.

Then, thinking about it, he waved his hand, lay down on the coffin board, and yawned.

Why think so much? Anyway, he was just pretending to be a living god of death, gathering the diehard fans of Orobas and the stupid and bad thieves on Haiji Island, and finding a reason to send them to talk to Orobas.

It's fine to do it as simple as possible, why bother to add drama to yourself.

It would be great if Wendy was here, it would be convenient and easy for him to do this kind of thing.

Chen Tianfeng yawned again, took out the Earth Vein Source Stone and looked at it in front of his eyes, feeling like flipping through his phone before going to bed.

Unfortunately, just like there would be no new messages on the phone, the Earth Vein Source Stone did not show the changes that Chen Tianfeng wanted because of this care before going to bed.

Chen Tianfeng stared at the Earth Source Stone for a long time before he gave up the idea of ​​biting it and swallowing it. He put it away casually, out of sight and out of mind.

He only had one chance. If he used it so hastily, his brother-in-law would not come to give him another one.

He turned over and changed his lying position, looking at the ceiling of the secret realm with his eyes open. There were many complex geometric patterns that made people dazzled and dazzled, as if hiding the secrets of the whole world. But in fact, it was just a casual drawing by a bored god. He drew whatever he thought of. When he came back to his senses, he was done, and there was such a mysterious dome that he himself could not understand.

But after staring at it for a long time, he would suddenly remember that when he was drawing these intertwined triangles and squares, he was thinking about refreshing summer beer and barbecue.

Chen Tianfeng rested his head on his arm, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the entrance of the secret realm.

Finally it's here... I've been so bored waiting these days, I can't sleep, and the only thing I'm anxious to do is to contact the ground veins, but there's no result...

He grinned, got up and got out of the coffin, pushed open the sliding cover, turned over and lay in it, and with a slight thought, the coffin closed automatically, making a muffled "dong" sound.

At the same time, every intersection of the lines on the complex pattern of the dome of the secret realm lit up with pale light, as if there were fireworks flowing on the dome.

"Squeak-bang!"

Ying opened the door to the secret realm, and a curtain like a vortex and stars unfolded behind the door.

"Traveler!"

Takeshima looked at the open door, his mind turned, and he quickly stopped Ying and said, "There may be danger inside. Maybe the Inazuma people have set a trap inside. Let's explore the way."

He said it with great sincerity, as if he really thought so, with sincerity in his eyes that he tried hard to squeeze out.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Brothers, follow me closely!"

Takeshima shouted, his palm pressed on the hilt of the knife, and stepped into the secret realm first.

It's a bit boring...Ying shook her head, and after everyone entered, she raised her hand and took Paimeng into the starry curtain together.

Before entering, she turned her head and glanced in a certain direction.

The door to the secret realm was still open, and there was silence all around, without even a trace of wind. The sparse and low grass and trees exuded a faint blue light, adding a sense of tranquility.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...This silence only lasted for a few seconds before it was broken by the sound of conversation.

"...Did she find us?"

"Perhaps, there are also capable people on Kaigi Island. We should not underestimate them."

"But, sir, she doesn't look like a Kaigi Island native, nor does she look like an Inazuma native."

"That means Kaigi Island invited foreign aid. It's also a skill to invite reinforcements."

Kujo Masahiro walked out slowly, followed by about fifty soldiers in uniforms of the shogunate army, all wearing standard armor and with long swords on their waists.

"Leave twenty to wait and watch carefully. If the ones who come out are not ours, it's best to kill them all! The rest of you, follow me, go in here and drive the people out."

Kujo Masahiro made a few simple arrangements and said in a deep voice: "Brothers should all know why we came here. There is only one chance, so cheer up and do it with your life! Death is not terrible, at least you can save the family, but if you fail to achieve the goal... you all know the consequences, right?"

"We understand!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

They are all guilty. Not long ago, Inazuma was cleansed, and the gods held each family accountable. Kujo Sara led the troops to execute the gods' will. In just a few days, countless families, big and small, were uprooted, stripped of their honor, and all were thrown into prison.

Hearing that some families had ironclad evidence of their crimes, and that the prison cells were full, Lord Kujo Sara prepared a special fast track for these families after asking for instructions, so that they could get rid of their sins as soon as possible, and if there is an afterlife, they can be the people of Ming Shen again.

And these are people from families whose crimes are not punishable by death, but cannot be easily forgiven, and most of them are implicated by their families. According to the original arrangement, they should stay in prison for a while, plead guilty and accept punishment, and if they are lucky, the family can be reunited, and they can be ordinary Inazuma families at ease.

If they are unlucky, for example, some bastards in the family secretly do some bastard things that others don't know about...then they can also be "reunited" as a family.

It's just that this "reunion" is not liked by most people.

So, when Kujo Masahiro found them and said there was an opportunity to redeem himself and ask them if they were willing to give it a try, this group of people agreed without hesitation. Following Kujo Masahiro, they received swords, armor and ran all the way to the head of the snake god, intending to use swords to fight for a future for themselves and their families.

"Okay!"

Kujo Masahiro took out the rope, grabbed one end and threw it away: "Hold it tightly, the Lord of the Palace said that this secret realm is very evil. If you go in directly, you will be randomly thrown to different places. It is very dangerous. Everyone can only stay for two hours at most. Remember the time and be careful."

The people behind him nodded repeatedly, holding the rope tightly, and some who were worried even wrapped the rope around their wrists twice, and someone next to them followed suit.

The group was ready, looked at each other, and did not stop, and walked straight into the secret realm.

The remaining twenty people who stayed behind began to set traps, and they all kept their knives on them, and did not forget to be vigilant and pay attention to the gate of the secret realm.

…

Ying closed her eyes and covered Paimon's eyes at the same time. She didn't open her eyes until the sudden strong light disappeared, then she slowly opened her eyes and retracted her palm.

"Wow, is this the secret realm built by Tianfeng? It feels different, so beautiful!"

The little mascot widened his eyes, full of amazement.

The secret realm is not as dilapidated as imagined. For example, under the dim light, there is a group of obviously abandoned buildings, palaces and temples full of vicissitudes of time, and ancient houses surrounding the temples. Generally speaking, this style of secret realm is the norm in the continent of Teyvat.

But the secret realm in front of him is brightly lit, surrounded by beautiful colorful corals of various shapes, and white shells with huge pearls. The air is fresh and moist... It's as if this is not a ruin on the ground, but a dragon palace in the water.

"Paimon, don't be fooled by appearances. It's very dangerous here."

Ying glanced around, as if to prove his reminder, picked up a stone and threw it at the coral not far away.

"Swish!"

With a strange sound, the coral suddenly "grew" many ice thorns, densely packed like a hedgehog, emitting cold air and flashing sharp edges.
