It's like a prelude to the story before the curtain rises on a play.
Shen He's father was consumed by grief and obsession because he had lost his wife...
……
[It is only because that evil animal sacrifice has brought about calamity~]
[If it weren't for the heroine drawing her sword, everyone would have perished.]
……
At this point in the song, the animated character Xiao Shenhe makes his appearance.
"Dang~"
The gong is struck.
The guzheng and vocals played together.
Add to that Yun Jin's clear and beautiful opera singing voice, and it instantly gave countless people goosebumps.
They felt like they were listening to a play, not a pop song.
But the rhythm in this music completely reveals a pop music flavor...
All I can say is that such an imaginative combination is truly astounding.
The screen was filled with "666" comments.
But Su Qian stared intently at the computer screen the whole time, completely unable to think about anything else.
Perhaps because she also has one foot in the music industry, the shock she felt was much stronger than that of ordinary listeners.
Shocked, she threw herself wholeheartedly into the song and animation.
I figured since the live stream was pre-recorded, I might as well enjoy the charm of this song first.
As for the analysis... we'll discuss that later.
……
In the scene, after Xiao Shenhe appears, he draws his sword and stabs at the evil spirit.
The music also started to get more urgent.
Not only did the vocals intensify instantly when Xiao Shenhe drew his sword, but the orchestra also began to exert its power.
Especially the sound of that high-pitched xylophone...
As a loyal player of Genshin Impact, Su Qian easily recognized the variation of the music that was played during the battle in Liyue from the xylophone.
Placing that piece of music here perfectly complements the scene in the video where Xiao Shenhe battles the monsters.
All she could say was—it was absolutely brilliant!
……
【A hazy mortal bond, a boundless celestial destiny~】
[Family harmony dissipates, the Crimson Mansion invites you on your journey~]
……
As Yun Jin sang this part, Xiao Shenhe in the scene was also caught by Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.
The orchestral music also stopped, and the tense sense of crisis in the audience's hearts vanished instantly.
……
【The crimson silk binds the rotten axe-handling woodcutter to death~】
【Traces of wild geese on snowy plains are far away~~】
……
As the erhu plays, the little Shenhe in the picture gradually grows up, his black hair turns white, and he is surrounded by immortals.
……
The cranes have returned, but the former ornamental pillars are nowhere to be seen.
[Spider webs vainly bind the soul banner~]
【Cause and effect in this mortal world are fleeting and ephemeral~~ vanish like smoke~~】
……
Hearing this, Su Qian felt a surge of indescribable emotions welling up inside her...
She felt sorry for Shen He because of her childhood experiences; and she was also happy for her because she had survived the ordeal.
Finally, because of her cursed fate of being bound by a red thread to bind her soul, ultimately leading to the annihilation of her mortal ties, I wanted to lament...
It truly reflects the saying—cause and effect in this mortal world are fleeting, vanishing like smoke…
A cool and aloof fairy?
No! Perhaps she's just used to being alone?
"Hey……"
She finally sighed softly, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Although she felt a bit resentful, the song was ultimately about Shen He's fate, and she could only secretly be annoyed that Mihoyo was inhuman... to arrange such a heartbreaking fate for Shen He.
I thought that was the end of "The Goddess Splits the Temple".
However, the animation did not end as she had hoped.
on the screen.
On the stage, Yun Jin opened her eyes and said in Mandarin, "The play 'The Goddess Splits the Temple' should be nearing its end here, but today I'll add another stroke—"
At this point, her tone shifted to a theatrical style, and she recited: "Sing for—you—to—listen—".
That recitation was so exhilarating, it felt like the top of my head had been ripped off.
Su Qian also trembled, feeling as if a glimmer of hope had appeared after a period of darkness.
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····
As expected, miHoYo never disappoints!
but……
The story of "The Goddess Splits the Temple" should have ended by now...
In the end, Shen He simply tied his soul to a red thread, severing all ties with his mortal world...
And just as she was thinking this...
In the music, the rock elements from the previous chorus reappear.
The tone rose another notch, and Yun Jin's opera singing was ethereal and clear, with great penetrating power, while also possessing a gentle and elegant quality.
……
Highbrow art doesn't necessarily mean it's unrecognized.
[It has its own kindred spirits and elegant verses~]
【Red-tasseled sword flutters like a shooting star~】
[Directly pointing to the raging tide washing away the sea's turmoil~]
……
As these two lines of song were sung, the animation changed to a scene of Shen He and the Traveler touring Liyue Harbor together.
Seeing this, and hearing the line—"Highbrow art may not be unknown, for it will find its own kindred spirits and refined lyrics."
Su Qian was completely stunned.
...... . ....
Immediately following, my nose tingled and my eyes reddened slightly...
Yup!
Later in this storyline... didn't Shen He meet the Traveler?
Instantly, scenes of Shen He accompanying the traveler in his search for materials such as the [Floating Stone] flashed through her mind.
The two became friends.
The two stood side by side, fighting against Ba Che.
What is this "Lonely Star and Calamity"?
That's a thing of the past.
This perfectly echoes Yun Jin's final blank space—
【The cranes returned at that time】
[In this vast world, I have no one to rely on]
[Leaving alone...]
