After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Under the warm hospitality of the inn waiter, the supper time passed quickly. Little Paimon's belly was bulging after eating, and he lay on the chair to eat.
Zhongli and Ying were talking about the legend of the Rock God and the origin of the ceremony to invite immortals.
The most famous festival celebration in Liyue is the god-welcoming ceremony known as the "Seven Stars Inviting Immortals Ceremony".
As a god who always watches and protects the land of Liyue, the Rock God will come in person every year and pass down oral instructions, asking the people to follow his instructions and act, so that everything will go smoothly and will not lead to chaos.
In the long and ignorant past, the ancestors of Liyue selected representatives from among the farmers to welcome the Rock God.
They will offer rich sacrifices and solemn blessings, and then listen to the oracle and announce the direction of the year to everyone, thereby guiding mortals to become rich and prosperous, overcome disasters, and the land of the Rock God will be stable.
Later, the war between the demons and gods was put down, and Liyue Port City gradually prospered. The Seven Stars, representing the various industrial and commercial industries in Liyue Port, became the intermediary between the ordinary people of Liyue and the Rock God. They were responsible for communicating directly with the Rock God and communicating to the citizens in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
Communicate the oracle and publish the policy for the whole year.
As for the prominent person who presides over the ceremony of inviting immortals from the Seven Stars, as the name implies, they are only generated from within the Seven Stars. Other than that, no one is qualified to intervene.
In the minds of many businessmen in Liyue Port, the words of the Rock God are more precious than gold.
Every day when the King of Rock comes, no matter how far away they are in a foreign country, the merchants of Liyue Port will rush back to their hometown as much as possible, just to obtain the guidance of the God of Rock, so as to ensure the safety of the whole year.
The business is booming.
The reason why Liyue Port developed so rapidly and prosperously was almost entirely due to the emperor's policies.
"I wonder how Wendy is doing now?"
With a bulging belly, Paimon stretched and suddenly mentioned Barbatos, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
After arriving in Liyue, major events happened one after another. Neither of them had time to think too much. First, they were misunderstood as an assassin who assassinated the emperor, then they met Dadalia, the executive of the Fools, and then they followed the trend and helped Zhongli prepare for his delivery.
Fairy Ceremony.
Now that I think about it, everything is such a coincidence, the shadow of the fools, the plan of the seven stars, the questioning of the immortal...
Liyue is worthy of being the capital of merchants. The situation is complicated and the undercurrents are turbulent. Compared with Mondstadt, which advocates freedom and happiness, it is completely different.
When she mentions Wendy, the image of a poet who doesn't do anything serious but sells and sings in a tavern in exchange for drinks comes to mind.
"I think Wendy should still live a free life."
The girl responded softly.
He is obviously the god of wind in Mondstadt, but he is idle all day long, hanging out in the tavern and with the beautiful nun sister.
"Hmph, at this time, the singer must have been drunk to death in Master Diluc's tavern!"
Paimeng held his face angrily, as if he was remembering Wendy's dishonorable appearance.
Hearing several people begin to discuss Mondstadt's Wind God, Zhongli lowered his head and pondered, but his peripheral vision occasionally glanced at Famas, who was drinking alone.
He knew that Wendy was known as the "god of music and poetry".
Compared with wealth and contracts, these titles may sound a bit out of place, but in the eyes of the Rock God, all products of wisdom have their merits.
That Barbatos guy's singing voice is also a huge asset when converted into molas.
After the Demon God War, the seven rulers of the world gathered at a cocktail party, with a drunken Wendy playing the piano. If given the chance, Zhongli would also like to listen to the elegant tunes that have been passed down from ancient times to this day again.
But thinking about Wendy's trouble-making character, in the end, Mr. Zhong sighed and shook his head.
As a god who has personally experienced the brutal war between demons and gods, in Zhongli's opinion, Wendy is a bit too pure.
"Traveller, speaking of Mondstadt, there is something I am curious about."
Seeing that Famas had no intention of talking, Zhongli crossed his arms and spoke.
"What?"
Before Ying could reply, the curious Paimon couldn't help but ask.
"I would like to know, Mondstadt people, or travelers from Mondstadt, what do you think of the Rock King Emperor?"
Zhongli casually opened the lid of the teapot at hand, and the fragrance of black tea lingered in the air.
"Of course, this is just my personal problem, not a spy from immortals or Seven Stars. If you are willing to trust me, you can speak freely."
Worried that Ying and Paimon would think too much, Zhongli deliberately added an explanation at the end of his words.
"Emperor Rock King..."
This time, Paimeng did not rush to speak. He bit the tip of his chopsticks in embarrassment, and after thinking for a long time, he answered: "Work hard and be strong... From the rumors told by the residents of Liyue and the sights he saw along the way, he should be a very remarkable person."
God?"
Zhongli nodded slightly and was about to say something more, but Paimon suddenly left his chair and staggered towards Famas' head.
"Compared to travelers, Famas should know more about the rock god, right?"
The three people who were just chatting finally thought of themselves. Famas put down his wine glass leisurely, picked up two more dishes with chopsticks, chewed them slowly, and pretended to take a sip of the sobering tea. After drinking it, he remembered the tea.
It was so painful that I could only force myself to swallow it calmly.
"Ahem, cough... Of course, I'm not bragging. When the war sweeps across the continent of Teyvat, even if Morax comes, he will still have to eat two big bucks..."
The young man started bragging without hesitation, causing Ying and Paimon to hide their faces at the same time, showing disgust.
Seeing that neither of the two women were interested in his story of traveling across the continent of Teyvat, Famas rolled his eyes, suddenly raised his chin, and stared at Zhongli who was holding the teacup with mischievous eyes.
"Let's change the topic... It is rumored that Morax at that time was handsome and intelligent, but extremely ignorant of the emotions between men and women. He was a notorious fool during the Demon God War."
As soon as these words came out, Paimon and Ying Bagua's eyes immediately focused on Famas, waiting expectantly for the next step. Zhongli stopped the tea cup in his hand and did not bother to think that his current behavior was a bit unnatural. He should have given it up as soon as he was satisfied, but seeing Zhongli's unnatural look, Famas couldn't restrain his playful spirit, and the next words came out in a flash: "I think Zhongli, you are quite, um... in Liyue dialect
How do you say that? How does Yushu Linfeng compare with your emperor?"
Zhongli was caught off guard by Famas' question. After being stuck for a few seconds, he thought about how an ordinary Liyue person would react, and could only bite the bullet and speak.
"I am not in a position to judge the emperor's appearance, but when it comes to the emperor's demeanor in charge of Liyue, I am...far inferior to him."
Zhongli has lived for such a long time and already has a set of ideas on how to correct the people's erroneous filter towards the Rock King. He can remain calm even when he hears other people boasting about him, but this is the first time that he praises himself, even though he has experienced it.
Having been in countless big scenes, he couldn't help but feel a little hot at this moment.
Famasi, who knew it well, naturally saw Zhongli's reaction clearly, and the smile on his lips became more and more public.
"Really? I think it would be great if Zhongli could be Liyue's next rock god."
"I happen to be very familiar with Tianquan Ningguang, would you like to introduce him to you..."
Famas's words became more and more outrageous. Zhongli, who had recovered his senses, shook his head helplessly.
He picked up the teapot and poured himself tea. Unfortunately, the temperature and color of the tea had long been taken away by time.
Fortunately, Zhongli didn't show any disgust. He just looked at the tiny tea residue at the bottom of the cup and sighed. Finally, he drank the tasteless tea, and then interrupted Famas's seemingly drunken speech: <
/p>
"Now that you've had enough wine and food, you three, why not go back to the guest room and rest early."
"I will return to Liyue Port tomorrow morning to preside over the ceremony of sending immortals away."
