It was not a short journey from Mondstadt to Shimen at the junction with Liyue, especially the bumpy carriage ride. When they finally arrived at the green fields near Shimen, the sky in the distance had gradually darkened, and the sky was
The light and shadow at the junction reveal a line of ink blue, while the bright red clouds dotting the sunset still appear in the sky.
The carriage stopped next to the tea stall in Shimen. Several people, including the coachman, got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air.
This is the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue.
Ordering a few bowls of "big bowls of tea" at the tea stall, Wendy and Famas left Ying and Paimon sitting in their seats and walked towards the cliff like a knife-cut stone gate.
Shimen is a good place to enjoy the scenery. To the north, you can see the vast vineyards of Chenxi Winery. If the weather is good, you may also be able to see Mondstadt surrounded by Xingluo Lake and the Wangfeng Mountains further away.
To the south is the water-filled Dihuazhou Island and the Wangshu Inn, which is built around trees. There are mountains on both sides, dotted with clear water, and it is a beautiful scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"I will accompany you here."
Wendy stood by the cliff, and the autumn leaves of Liyue carried the breeze and passed through the young man's hair.
The crimson autumn leaves had just entered the territory of Mondstadt, and a blue breeze floated, carrying white dandelion seeds, as if fighting, into the territory of Liyue.
Famas suddenly remembered a legend he had heard.
A long time ago, probably when the old aristocracy had just been overthrown, the national boundary between Mondstadt and Liyue was not clear. Ever since Wendy woke up, she often came to the border to act wildly. He called the dandelions everywhere they went, the land of the wind. Manually made
The wind blows the dandelion seeds into the territory of Liyue Kingdom, making the entire Shimen covered with white dandelions.
Can Prince Yan bear this tone?
However, Morax, who came in person, failed to teach the cunning Wind God a lesson, so he handed over the task of dealing with Wendy to the Demon-Conquering Sage who was closest to the stone gate.
Fortunately, after that time, Wendy didn't come to Shimen for a long time to harass the demon-conquering sage.
In the breeze, in the mountains, Famas hugged Wendy from behind.
When the two said goodbye, Paimon at the tea stall spit out the large bowl of tea he had just drank.
"Bah, it's so painful!"
The hot water in the sea bowl used for serving tea is almost overflowing, and dry tea silk strands are hanging in the water like a small pool. The bitter taste makes one's throat dry.
There is an old saying in Liyue, "Food is the most important thing for the people." Of course, there will be no shortage of good wine and tea. Three bowls of wine and tea are not enough in Hong Kong. Yanshang Teahouse, etc. are all famous shops in Liyue Port. However, everyone drinks too much wine and new tea.
I want to try the old taste.
Therefore, the Shimen Tea Stall not only provides tea to travelers passing by, but also provides the special Liyue Rock Tea.
This is a taste that ordinary Liyue people have never experienced. The combination of Mond's spices and clear springs attracts many guests.
"Liyue Port is really a place where people won't be bored. There is money to be made and such beautiful scenery. The residents here are really enviable."
Ivanovich, who came from the Kingdom of Solstice, was chatting with a man dressed as a blacksmith at the table.
"Who says it isn't?" The blacksmith leaned on the rocking chair and looked at Dihuazhou in the distance. This was his rare free afternoon.
"But I still envy you even more. You are doing business everywhere and traveling throughout the entire continent of Teyvat."
"Business everywhere is very tiring, Lao Zhang, especially since the Seven Stars Immortal Requesting Ceremony is about to begin. It is the best time for business. If we don't buy more cider from Mondstadt, we won't have such good customers in the second half of the year.
Source."
"It's a pity that I have bad luck...most of the stolen treasure group has been intercepted. I don't know if Master Keqing sent the Qianyan Army to clean up the trade routes."
Ivanovich pursed his lips and looked north.
"I've been having bad luck lately. The weapons I use are always returned. This morning, Lady Keqing looked at my hammer for a long time without saying a word. When I knocked it, her head moved.
I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on my back."
After the blacksmith named Lao Zhang took a sip of tea, he continued: "I don't know if someone snitched and was dissatisfied with the quality of my concentrate, or they were interested in the bedrock hammer passed down from my ancestors."<
/p>
"Stop thinking nonsense. I heard that Qixing is very busy. How could he stare at you all morning for no reason? Maybe he just came out to relax?" the businessman joked.
"I hope so, but Master Keqing is cute and majestic, and she deserves to be called the Seven Stars."
Lao Zhang sighed: "That's it for today, I have to go back to blacksmithing."
"Old man Kai, the money is on the table!"
Lao Zhang took out two molas with larger denominations. The old man, who was called Uncle Kai by other guests, slowly walked over and skillfully cleaned up the sand porcelain bowls on the table.
"No, Lao Zhang, in a few days I will entrust an adventurer to go to Yanyuan. I want to lend you a few sets for spare use. This tea will be regarded as maintenance fees."
Lao Zhang was a little surprised and his eyes widened: "Oh, how can we go there now! It's not peaceful there recently. I heard that Lao Wu even encountered a ghost."
"My son...maybe right there."
Hearing Uncle Kai's words, Lao Zhang was silent for a moment, lowered his head and remained silent. It took a long time before he raised his head.
"It's better to be careful... Now that you have found the manpower, I will help you organize a few sets of equipment."
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, walk slowly. I'm not a young man anymore. I have no intention of taking risks on my own."
The setting sun shines on the large and small shoals of Dihuazhou, and also shines through the cloth tent above the head into the tea stall, where the phonograph plays soft music.
The tea stalls in Shimen guard the edge of Liyue. There is no hustle and bustle of the wharf, and there is no interruption from the cries of vendors. There are only the chirping of birds, the chirping of insects and the whispers of tea drinkers.
The stone gate, the vast abyss, the ritual of inviting immortals, the engraving of the clear sky...
Ying silently listened to the chats of various guests at the tea stall, hoping to learn more about Liyue.
"Paimon, do you know who the person named Keqing is? Everyone in Liyue seems to be afraid of her?"
After drinking all the tea in the bowl, the blonde girl felt her mouth taste astringent and couldn't help but ask Paimon who was chewing dry food.
"Well... Yuheng Xing Keqing is one of the seven stars in charge of land and surveying in Liyue. She is a high-ranking girl!"
Paimon swallowed the biscuits in his mouth.
"Legend has it that this girl has measured every piece of land in Liyue with her feet, pulled a cart in the Great Rock Abyss, helped workers at the South Pier pound soil, and walked around in small restaurants. She is a very close-knit Seven Star.
."
Hearing Paimon's introduction, Ying was a little surprised: "One of the Seven Stars will go to the dock to ram soil? Or is it a girl?"
"Yes, and because he likes scraping and making offal, he is called a carving master."
Famas came down from the cliff of the stone gate with a smile on his face, just in time to catch up with Ying and Paimon discussing Keqing, one of the Seven Stars.
"Eh? Is the singer gone?"
When Paimon saw that it was Famas who came down alone, he quickly asked.
"Well, he went back."
Famas pulled up a rattan chair and sat down, looking at the beautiful sunset in Liyue. The sea breeze blew the lantern not far from the tea stall. Looking from a distance, only the bright moon and the jade pavilion in the sky were illuminated.
