Ginkgo, who had always been carefree, actually turned red at this time.
"Really?"
"You know I won't lie."
People on the roadside stopped and looked at the couple. From time to time, a few old people sighed at the beauty of the man and the woman.
"Old Liu Tou, if you were half as good at talking as he is, you wouldn't have had to rely on a little girl to connect with you."
The old man did not dare to refute and could only nod.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, Sister Shuzhi."
He is obviously an old man with half a head of white hair, but he looks like a couple in love.
Seeing more and more people around her, Ginkgo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and ran out with a blushing face.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and catch up, young man!" Old Liu Tou urged Tongque, appearing even more anxious than Tongque himself.
After hearing what he said, Tongque realized what he said and chased after him.
"Ginkgo, what's wrong with you?"
Ginkgo's rosy cheeks finally returned to normal. She pretended that nothing was wrong and said, "It's okay. I just saw too many people and wanted to leave quickly. Let's go."
In Zhenbaozhai, after seeing Tongque and Ginkgo leave, Xingxi turned around and said to the person in a corner of the store: "Mr. Zhongli, the things have been handed over to the other party."
In the corner, Zhongli was sitting quietly at the table drinking tea. When he heard Xing Xi's words, he nodded and replied, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ginkgo was still roaming aimlessly on the street, when suddenly a sound from the street attracted her attention.
A bunch of people gathered in front of a screen. There was a high platform in front of the screen. There was a human on the high platform, holding a folding fan in his hand.
The man cleared his throat and said slowly: "Dear readers, today we are not going to talk about "The Sound of Rain" or "The Story of Seas and Mountains Covering the Clouds". We will give you a new story, that is, "The Immortal Helps the World".
"! Legend has it that during the ancient war between demons and gods, there was a couple of immortals. The man's name was Bronze Bird, and the woman's name was Ginkgo. These two immortals..."
Hearing this, Ginkgo blushed and cautiously glanced at Tongque. Seeing that he didn't have any special reaction, she felt relieved.
Tongque and Ginkgo stopped at the same time. As witnesses, they watched others tell more or less their stories. They not only recalled their own lives again, but also let time flow from ancient memories again to dilute them.
There was a sense of isolation between the two of them.
Everyone was mesmerized until they heard that Tongque and Ginkgo had both voluntarily suppressed the peerless demon and turned into a seal for the sake of the common people, and everyone sighed with regret.
"It's rare that Liu Su can finish the story in one breath today without making people's appetites rise. Normally, this guy would have to divide it into several days to explain it to you."
"Isn't that right? Originally, I was just passing by and wanted to listen to a piece, but I ended up being so fascinated that I forgot all about what my wife told me! I don't know if it's too late to go now!"
Liu Su held the manuscript of "The Immortal Helps the World" in his hand and looked at the passionate audience in the audience, feeling proud in his heart.
"Mr. Zhongli, as I thought, your story is really good! But it's Dr. Tea who told it well!"
"How is it?" Ginkgo looked at Tongque with expectant eyes, "How do you feel when you listen to other people telling their stories?"
"It's not a special feeling. It's just a pity that I don't have the power in the story, otherwise our story might be changed."
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Speaking of which, Liyue is really big."
Ginkgo looked at the carved beams and painted buildings around her. From a high place, she couldn't even see the sea of people.
A little boy with white hair also shouted happily: "When I grow up, I will be like an immortal and become a hero who protects everyone!"
"Even if you give up your life like the immortals?"
Tongque suddenly became interested and asked the child.
"Even if you lose something precious because of protecting others, can you still stick to your own ideas?"
Tongque thought that his words could defeat the child, or at least prevent him from answering for a long time, but he didn't expect that the child would give his answer in an instant.
"If you are afraid of sacrifice, then you might as well not choose to be a hero in the first place, right?"
Tongque nodded, yes, whether they are immortals or humans, there will always be those who make sacrifices. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they will always complain for them, or use utilitarian methods to do so.
Criticize them to show how rational you are.
"You have done so much, but what have you gained?"
There is always no shortage of people who think this way.
But if they were afraid of sacrifice, they wouldn't have made the choice in the first place.
"You're right, kid, what's your name?"
"My name is Dugu Shuo! I am someone who will definitely become a hero in the future!"
Tongque took out a purple-red feather. Although it was just a feather, it could still be seen that it was extraordinary.
"I believe you, child. How about taking these feathers as witnesses for the two of us? If you really become a hero one day, I will take back these feathers."
"Okay!" Dugu Shuo took the bronze bird's feather. The feather was close to his body, and the child instantly felt a little refreshed. However, the real wealth contained in the feather would have to wait for him to slowly discover it later.
After bidding farewell to Dugu Shuo, the two of them continued to visit Liyue. Gradually, Ginkgo became a little tired, and the two of them walked towards the seaside.
The two walked and chatted, walking from the middle floor of Liyue to the lower floor. (Liyue's overall design is divided into three floors) and then stopped on a bridge. The seagulls parked on the bridge took off one after another because of the arrival of the two.
Flying into the distance.
"Compared to the small village we had when we stood on the top of a tree and could see it all, it's so big... With our current bodies, it's hard to walk around."
"Tongque, aren't you happy to see that the people you once protected have achieved what they have today? Why do you always keep a straight face?"
"It's just a habit."
"I just find it incredible." Ginkgo leaned on the bridge, and the sea breeze from the bay blew across her face, lifting her hair and floating in the air.
"Such weak human beings have also created miracles today. Perhaps they have reached the point where they no longer need the protection of immortals..."
He raised his head and looked at the jade pavilion floating in the sky in the distance. It seemed to be Liyue's Dinghai Divine Needle. Every Liyue Hong Kong person opened his eyes and looked up. The first thing he saw was the sun, and the second thing he saw was the group of people.
Jade Pavilion.
"Maybe, but no matter what the future holds, we can only help them get here. The road ahead, whether it is thorny or smooth, is their own business."
Tongque looked at Ginkgo. Although Tongque also protected mortals, after losing his memory, he removed those interferences and knew clearly that he was only protecting what she wanted to protect. He protected because she cared.
