Plot of Artifact (Start) - Thoughts on the Duxian Qin: Personally, I feel that I am not suitable for a storyteller type of narrative, as the plot is too lengthy. I want to use my own narrative method from now on to present stories and personal thoughts to everyone more intuitively.
Detailed plot explanation
The story begins with a brief introduction. The original name of the artifact Duxianqin is "Lyre", also known as "Seven Emotions Qin"; the seven strings are: the string of joy, the string of anger, the string of sorrow, the string of sorrow, the string of thinking, The string of fear and the string of surprise, the body of the piano stimulates people's inner potential or manipulates others by manipulating the "seven strings" (even Daluo Jinxian cannot get rid of it).
During the ancient war, all six strings of the lyre were severed, and only the string of Liusi remained, thus creating the current "single-stringed harp".
Strange things have happened frequently in the underworld recently. At the request of Yang Jian, I went to the underworld to investigate. During the conversation with Niu Tou, I learned that the little demon guarding him had been in a daze all day long and forgot about things. He speculated that he might have been drugged. During the investigation, several people were found. Niutou was also knocked unconscious by the drug. At this time, we saw a figure running deep into the hell labyrinth.
In the maze of hell, there is a weird big cauldron. I think everyone knows that this will be the "Four Gods Cauldron" in the future. The moment we enter the cauldron, we can see a group of fairy children surrounding a little demon girl. This little demon girl became "Lu Si" later on.
As for the story of Lu Si’s parents, I won’t tell it here. I’ve told it before. When bringing Lu Si back to the Heavenly Palace, Wu Tianbing let the fairy children live and study with Lu Si. And these fairy children are the children of some high-ranking officials of the fairy clan. They can be understood as playboys. They bully Lu Si in various ways. They always talk about Lu Si having no father and mother, and say some very vicious words (this is what is now called "school bullying"). ). Lu Si inherited her mother Lu Xiaoniang's stubborn character. She would often fight with others at this time. Even though the opponent was outnumbered, she would not lose.
For a little girl, it doesn't matter if she wins the fight. She is subjected to endless ridicule and abuse every day. She doesn't have a friend and can only bear it all alone. As time goes by, Lu Si has been ostracized, and his character has become very withdrawn, no longer trusting anyone. At the same time, she had a deep hatred for her so-called classmates.
After reading everything about Lu Si's past, he suddenly discovered that there were many corpses of immortals around him. Needless to say, you have guessed that these corpses are the classmates who bullied Lu Si in the past. They really fulfilled the saying, "It is your own fault that you will not survive." They bullied them so miserably at that time, but now...
Lu Si, who had vented the emotions he had suppressed for many years, seemed particularly crazy at this time, and we did not dare to get close. Not long after, we woke up after hearing the sound of the piano. It turned out that we had entered the illusion before entering the Four Divine Cauldron. If Wu Tianbing hadn't used the Duxian Qin to restore our sanity, we would have lost our minds at this time. . I told Wu Tianbing what I saw in the illusion, especially when he mentioned Lu Si, his expression was particularly strange, and he said goodbye to me without saying anything.
Out of doubts about everything we saw in the illusion and Wu Tianbing's strange behavior, we felt it was necessary to go to Tiangong to investigate. By asking around in the Heavenly Palace, you can roughly understand the following points: First, Lu Si has been fighting with her classmates since she was a child. Many gods think that she is "mud can't stick to the wall." Obviously, we saw in the fantasy that Lu Si was bullied as a child. Real; second point, some immortals died in heaven not long ago. Some people think that they were killed by Lu Si, but there is no evidence. Obviously, it is real that we saw Lu Si killing his classmates in the fantasy world, but in reality, Wu Tianbing helped her wipe it. No one can catch her; thirdly, Lu Si and Wu Tianbing have been living in a secluded corner of Pantaoyuan, but if they want to see Wu Tianbing, they need to break the flame illusion.
After breaking through the illusion, we found that Wu Tianbing pulled out a piano from behind an ancient tree. He looked panicked and seemed to be doing something with the Duxian Qin. We quietly followed Wu Tianbing to Chang'an City and met Lu Si. However, at this time, Lu Si wanted to kill Wu Tianbing to avenge his parents. Why did Lu Si want to kill Wu Tianbing? Because at the end of the story of the Battle for the Soul-eating Teeth, Wu Tianbing forcibly injected Lu Xiaoniang's soul into Lu Si's body, causing the two souls to become one. Every night when he went to sleep, Lu Si could always see the tragic death of his parents through Lu Xiaoniang's soul.
Wu Tianbing has always been burdened with the regret of killing his brother. He originally wanted to raise Lu Si as atonement, but as time went by, he had already regarded Lu Si as his own daughter. Faced with Lu Si's attack, Wu Tianbing did not hide away, and it didn't take long before he He was severely injured. Seeing that Wu Tianbing was seriously injured, Lu Si grabbed the Duxianqin and ran away.
There are two branches here at this time. According to the follow-up story of the artifact, what we should choose here is to first find medicine to save Wu Tianbing, then get the broken string from Wu Tianbing and then chase Lu Si (if we chase Lu Si first, come back to Wu Tianbing will die). Following Broken String's instructions, we found Lu Si in the maze of hell. At this time, we happened to witness Lu Si stealing the souls of many living people into the Four Gods Cauldron (where did these souls come from? We will tell the story later).
When Lu Si was still investing his soul, a swordsman in black appeared. He was the Four Divine Cauldrons. He asked Lu Si to give him the Duxian Qin. Lu Si asked him not to forget what he had promised her before. It was obvious that there had been a previous relationship between them. There is some kind of deal. After getting the Duxian Qin, the Si Shen Ding turned around and asked us for the broken strings of the Duxian Qin. Obviously we would not give them, so we started a fierce fight with the Si Shen Ding.
I don’t know how long it took, but we woke up somewhere in Pantaoyuan. At this time, a white-clothed swordsman appeared in front of us. From his mouth, we learned that we were defeated in the previous battle with the Four Divine Cauldrons. If it weren’t for the broken string in our hands, we would have been saved. By this time we had long since lost our lives.
When we went to break the string with our hands, the string slipped out and went into the hole of a big tree. At this time, something happened that surprised us. The swordsman in white took out a piano from the hole in the big tree. It turns out that the Duxianqin and the big tree have long been integrated. What Wu Tianbing took away before was just the phantom of the Duxianqin. This time he came to take the Duxianqin away to save Lu Si and Wu Tianbing. He will tell us next After learning some of the past, although we were not very clear about the matter at this time, we decided to help him based on the principle of giving priority to saving people.
When we returned to the underworld, Ling Yulu, who had been waiting for a long time, told us that the Four Divine Cauldrons had transformed into human forms and escaped from the underworld, and Lu Si also committed suicide on the spot. As for what happened while we were here? Why did Lu Si kill himself? There is no explanation for this artifact story, so it will be included in future artifact stories.
This artifact story actually ends here. Doesn’t it feel very abrupt? Because of the Duxianqin's Thoughts, this artifact appeared very early. It has two endings: one ending is that Wu Tianbing and Lu Si both die, and the last string of Duxianqin's thinking is also broken. It is obviously related to the story behind It doesn't match; the other ending is that both Wu Tianbing and Lu Si survive, Wu Tianbing's obsession turns into a sad string, the one-stringed qin turns into a two-stringed qin, Lu Si practices with Ling Yulu, and Wu Tianbing can't return because of these incidents. Heaven can only find a place to live in seclusion.
(The following is personal speculation) The planners at the time may have considered changing the plot of the Duxianqin part later to make the player find the remaining five strings and turn the Duxianqin into a lyre again. But judging from the current artifact story, the planners have given up on this plan. Now the story of the artifact is that Lu Si dies and Wu Tianbing lives. In order to ensure that Lu Si could survive, we needed to play music to separate the souls of Lu Xiaoniang and Lu Si. If the souls were separated, Lu Xiaoniang would be in a state of disgrace. In order to prevent Lu Xiaoniang from being in disarray, Wu Tianbing would snatch the Duxian Qin, but we stopped him. , watching Lu Xiaoniang's soul disappear, remembering that she couldn't save Zhou Dahu back then, and now she can't save Lu Xiaoniang and completely fell into madness.
Now, because Lu Si would have died, we don’t need to save her. If we don’t need to save her, we don’t need to play music. If we don’t need to play music, Wu Tianbing won’t grab the duxianqin, and he won’t go crazy. So do you understand? The plot at the beginning of Duxianqin: Thoughts has nothing to do with the main plot.
