Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

At noon (bu), Hutao was still sleeping quietly, with a faint smile on his lips, maybe he was having a good dream.

Wu Ye also finished thinking. He already had an idea to write a book. Now he had nothing to do, so he just looked at Hutao quietly.

On this extremely ordinary and hot afternoon, large swaths of sunlight squeezed into layers of clouds, passed through the windows of the room, and shone on Hu Tao. The sunlight had a faint orange hue, which seemed to give Walnut an extra layer of radiant makeup, while the dust in the sunlight trembled unwillingly, seeming to accuse her of not wanting to be like the light.

"Hmm~" Walnut finally woke up and yawned, her lips slightly opened, revealing a shallow smile, like a flower blooming in the dawn.

"Wake up." Wu Ye took out a towel, dipped it in some warm water, wiped Hu Tao's face, and said with a smile:

"Be prepared for it to get dark. I'll take you back."

"Hmm~" Hutao hung directly on Wu Ye's back like a sloth, his hands wrapped around Wu Ye's neck, and he said sleepily:

"Wu Ye, please carry me back."

"it is good."

……

The road from Taohua Lane to Xiangsheng Hall is quite long.

"Wu Ye...let me down."

"what happened?"

"Ugh~, haven't you noticed, a lot of people are looking at us."

Hu Tao buried her head as low as possible, not wanting others to see her shy look.

"What's the matter? Zhu Bajie is just carrying his wife back to her parents' home. It's normal."

"Bah, bah, bah! What is Zhu Bajie? You are not a pig. In my eyes, you are the most handsome!"

"Hey, sure!"

……

"Hall Master, you?"

When Wu Ye arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Purity with Hu Tao on his back, a voice sounded from behind. Wu Ye turned around and looked, it was Zhongli who had just returned from walking the bird.

Zhongli is a guest at the Hall of Rebirth.

In Liyue's tradition, "inviting immortals" and "sending immortals" are equally important things. The one that is best at "farewelling" is the "Palace of Rebirth" that has been passed down by the Hu family for seventy-seven generations. But Hu Tao, the master of the "Palace of Rebirth", mainly focuses on the art of sending off mortals.

The various rituals of farewell to the immortals were left to a "friend on the road" - Zhongli. Immortals and Liyue have spent a long time together, and very few have ascended to heaven for more than three thousand years. This means that all relevant traditions can only exist in paper form. The time span is too long. This is not the kind of thing you did when you were a child. I participated in it once while biting a candied haws, and I can still witness it again when I am old, lying on a bamboo chair.

But even the most discerning old scholar who is addicted to piles of old paper cannot find any fault with the ceremony of sending immortals organized by the "Palace of Rebirth". Not only the costumes of the people in the ceremony are compliant, but also the auspicious time, location, and utensils of the ceremony, as well as the weather on the day, the duration of the ceremony, the number of people allowed to attend the ceremony, and the status, occupation, and age of the audience. Even if all of the above are included in the measurement category, none of them are inappropriate. .

If people describe Zhongli as "knowing the past and knowing the present", he will only smile helplessly and sigh: "I just... have a good memory."

"Zhongli" is exactly the pseudonym of Emperor Yanwang in the human world.

If Zhongli's reputation only stayed in Liyue Port, then the name Morax was resounding throughout the entire Teyvat continent.

The "Emperor of the Rock" who rules over Liyue is Morax, the god of rock among the seven gods. The origin of the currency "Mola" used in the continent of Teyvat is his god's name.

When late at night came and the noisy Liyue Port fell into a deep sleep, he would occasionally climb to the top of the rocky mountain to overlook the city he had built with his own hands.

In the hearts of Liyue people, there are many priests of "Yanwang Dijun". When he used his divine power to formulate laws for Liyue Port, he was the "God of Contracts."

He cast the first "Mola" with his own hands, making Liyue Port based on commerce, and the merchants respected him as the "God of Commerce".

He has experienced a long time and is the oldest elder among the Seven Gods. Historians call him the "God of History".

Thousands of years ago, when the ancestors of Liyue Port were reclaiming wasteland, they often rubbed stones to make fires, and then used rocks to build stoves. These gifts from the "rock" also make the God of Rock the "God of Fire" in people's mouth.

Foreigners tend to call him "Morax", while Liyue people prefer the common name "Lord Yan". In the minds of opera lovers and children, among the many priests of Morax, the "god of war" who swept away thousands of demonic armies on the stage and founded and guarded Liyue is the most interesting.

The delicious snacks that "Lord Yan" discovered when he got lost, the plaques inscribed by "Lord Yan" himself, and the famous operas in which "Lord Yan" once starred in a minor role. If you look closely at the many customs and customs of Liyue, they all were influenced at a certain period. through the direct care of the god himself. Liyue people are also very proud of this history of walking with God.

……

"Ah! Well, guest, I hope you didn't see anything."

Hu Tao said in a kind tone, then pinched Wu Ye's waist and whispered:

"Idiot! Put me down quickly. Fortunately, it's still Zhongli. If other ceremony attendants see me, in less than a day, the entire Hall of Rebirth will be gossiping about my master."

"Hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is Zhong Li. I guess you don't know me. Let me introduce you. I am a guest at the Hall of Purity. It is rare to see the hall master bring friends back. It seems that you have a good relationship with the hall master."

Zhong Li smiled slightly, looked at Wu Ye and said.

Listening to the handsome and elegant Yan Wang Dijun in front of him wearing a fine Chinese suit and telling lies, Wu Ye also responded cooperatively:

"Hello, hello, Mr. Zhongli. I heard a few days ago that you are talented, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable about the past and the present. Today, it is rare that I have the chance to meet you, and I can confirm this rumor. Therefore, my admiration for you, Mr. Zhongli, is like a torrential river. , continuous, and like the Yellow River flooding, it is out of control!"

"Yellow River?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, realizing that Wu Ye should be talking about something from another world.

"May I ask your distinguished guest your name?"

"Excuse me, my surname is Wu."

"Hello, Mr. Wu."

Zhongli reached out his hand and said.

Wu Ye could only reach out and hold the other person's hand.

"I knock!"

Wu Ye shouted in pain, Hu Tao asked with concern:

"what happened?"

Looking at Zhong Li's kind eyes, Wu Ye squeezed out a smile and replied:

"It's okay, Mr. Zhongli's hands are so soft that I can't stop!"

"Um?!"

Hu Tao exclaimed, her eyes full of confusion.

……

After bidding farewell to Hu Tao, Wu Ye went back, holding a note in his swollen right hand that Zhongli had given him when they shook hands just now.

"It's not like I grabbed your cabbage. Why are you so strong? I hope your salary is gone this month."

Wu Ye cursed secretly, then looked at the note, which clearly read:

"In seven days, we will go to Aozang Mountain."
