Chapter 408: The story embellished in history...

Yuan Zhuoyue originally thought that after this incident, this God of Wind, who had come from afar and stuck to her for some unknown reason, would no longer be with her.

After knowing that her attitude is not welcoming and even does not want him to get close to her, he will be sensible and stay away from her.

But no one expected that after being beaten, Lord Wind God became even more energetic.

Yuan Zhuoyue didn't know why Ruotu Dragon King and Guizhong suddenly stared at her closely, and then Wendy appeared by her side from time to time without anyone knowing.

When Yuan Zhuoyue, Gui Zhong and Ruota Dragon King were listening to storytelling in a teahouse or restaurant, a blue-robed bard dressed in exotic costume suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He was very familiar with them, sat down in the empty seat next to them, and poured himself a cup of tea without any hesitation.

After gulping down a mouthful of the tea, he smacked his lips and a look of disgust appeared on his face, as if he was not very satisfied with the taste of the tea.

But he did not express any opinion about the cup of tea that he drank in one gulp.

Instead, he held up his cheek with one hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the storyteller on the stage who was telling them a story.

After listening for a while, she made a comment with a smile: "...He and I are a bit similar! We both tell interesting stories from the past to people today. But when telling those stories, there is no music to accompany me, so I am not used to it... But I also feel a different kind of fun."

King Ruota and Guizhong, I have heard this with Morax countless times in the past.

And they also participated in it, polished and modified the legend, and did not have any special feelings about it.

Although Yuan Zhuoyue had experienced the convenience of absorbing various literary works through the Internet and felt that the plot of this story was a bit cliché, she also felt that this story, which was new wine in old bottles, was quite attractive to her.

After all, the levels of authors of various novels on the Internet vary greatly, and there are many novel and interesting ideas that have never been seen before.

After the mediocre and somewhat lagging description, everything becomes very boring and people have no desire to continue reading.

But some creators can easily capture the readers' attention by using the simplest and most straightforward words and sentences without the need for a pile of fancy words.

Even with the most clichéd plot routines, readers can even judge the subsequent plot direction based on past experience, but they still can't help but be attracted and want to continue reading these clichéd stories.

And the story that the storyteller is telling now is exactly like this for Yuan Zhuoyue.

She had already read this story in the books about Liyue's customs and culture that Morax had shown her through rote learning.

The event was succinctly summarized in just one sentence in the local chronicles of the time.

——Mr. Yan taught his young son, who became a successful practitioner and killed the vicious beasts that devoured people in the wild.

Although it is not known whether the storyteller's story is true, it is described in great detail.

The film vividly depicts the young man's panic and anger at the destruction of his home, the difficulties and obstacles he encountered on his way to immortality, and the dangers of exorcising evil spirits and demons after he had achieved success in his cultivation.

This was not the first time Yuan Zhuoyue had seen this story. In the first few days after arriving in Liyue, when Yu Mi Nu accompanied her around, they had gone together to listen to a play at the Yunhan Society where Yun Jin was affiliated.

It was just an unfortunate coincidence that Yuan Zhuoyue went there at a time when Yun Jin was not going to perform on stage, but he still got to watch a performance of 'The Young Son Slays the Demon' performed by someone else.

To be honest, Yuan Zhuoyue could only understand the content of the other party's lyrics and the vigorous dancing moves that were really exciting.

As for the singing style and the kung fu skills, she really couldn't tell.

However, judging from the continuous applause during the performance and the balls that were continuously thrown onto the stage, the performer's level must be quite outstanding.

Yuan Zhuoyue still remembers when she was studying the huge pile of miscellaneous knowledge that Morax gave her.

When she saw this story that was only mentioned briefly, she asked Morax beside her with curiosity: "This local chronicle records that you taught a young man. Then, is the young man who killed the ferocious beast in the wild in this record really your student?"

When Morax was not a riddle teller, he was always willing to answer her questions, Morax in her physical body.

Those golden eyes looked at the book in Yuan Zhuoyue's hands, as if they were contemplating a memory.

After a while, he gave Yuan Zhuoyue an answer: "The record is indeed true, but the cause and effect are reversed... I just taught him some spear skills after saving the boy, and I don't deserve the title of teacher."

Then Yuan Zhuoyue learned from Morax a story that was completely different from the one she had heard in books, opera performances, and the storytellers of today.

The elders in that young man's family had served in the Qianyan Army. With the guidance of his elders, although he was still young, he still learned a good set of martial arts.

If nothing unexpected had happened to him, perhaps after he grew up, he would have joined the Qianyan Army like his elders and become a member of it.

But it happened that the village where the young man lived was attacked by evil demons, and most of the people in the village died in this sudden disaster.

A small number of young and strong people escorted the elderly, children, women and children to escape and rushed to other places to seek help.

There was still a group of people left who had practiced martial arts and experienced fighting. They chose to stay and slow down the monsters.

The young man was one of them, but unfortunately the reinforcements arrived too late. The people and monsters who stayed there were all killed, and only the young man survived with his last breath.

After that, after the young man recovered from his injuries, he began to travel around Liyue with a spear inherited from his elders.

The young man's thoughts were extremely simple. All he wanted was to kill the evil spirits as soon as possible so that fewer people would suffer from this unexpected disaster in the future.

His journey never stopped until he was seriously injured by a monster again. At the critical moment of his life, he happened to meet Morax who was passing by.

However, after this experience was spread, it has undergone thousands of years of changes and has become unrecognizable and no longer looks the same as it did originally.

What did she think after understanding the whole story?

Yuan Zhuoyue thought, perhaps one day, she would become unrecognizable as time passed.

Until I can no longer see what my true self looks like...
