Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

After the two finished their conversation, Xingyun, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Boss Song, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is very interested in the Tongque Temple. Can we talk about cooperation?"

When Song Yinjian heard this, he immediately became interested.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce ranked high in Liyue.

He then asked, "How would you, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, like to cooperate?"

Xingqiu responded, "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce can provide various sponsorships for the Bronze Sparrow Temple. All that's required is to display the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce logo in a conspicuous place."

Song Yinjian was stunned. Isn't this an advertisement?

He pondered for a moment and shook his head gently. "The Bronze Sparrow Temple already has quite a few commercial elements. Adding more would make it seem too mercenary and vulgar. However, I have thought of an avenue for cooperation."

"What kind of method?"

“Bring the goods on site.”

Afterwards, Song Yinjian explained the matters of bringing goods to Xingqiu in detail, and promised that if the two sides reached a cooperation, he would invite the immortal Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun to bring goods for Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Xingqiu was amazed by this novel business model and reached a cooperation agreement with him on the spot.

Chapter 66 No one knows the ritual of sending immortals better than me

The morning light is dim, and the soft light gently falls on the newly built Tongque Temple.

Song Yinjian, dressed in a green Taoist robe, moved in the wind, his posture straight, like a green pine or cypress, standing alone, exuding an extraordinary and otherworldly aura of immortality.

In front of him, a dozen young people stood a little awkwardly.

They were dressed in simple Taoist attire, their faces still looked young and immature, and their eyes revealed a complex look of confusion and loss.

As a descendant of an exorcist family, he was taught since childhood to exorcise demons and protect the peace and tranquility of Liyue.

However, as time passed, the harsh reality was like a basin of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing the enthusiasm in their hearts.

Nowadays, evil spirits are almost extinct in the world, and the exorcism techniques they have worked so hard to learn are no longer useful.

At the same time, the family's financial situation deteriorated.

In desperation, in order to help their families, they had to give up the path of exorcism and come here to work instead, as they were not very qualified.

Song Yinjian's eyes slowly swept over the crowd, his slightly raised lips forming a confident and calm smile. Then, his voice was as loud as a bell, and he said aloud, "Everyone, don't be discouraged, and don't be disheartened. This is a new starting point in your life.

You can practice and work at the same time, from 9 am to 5 pm, and you can have free time except for weekends and holidays.

The salary and benefits are generous. In addition to the basic salary of 100,000 Mora, you will also receive a certain percentage of commission based on your performance."

When these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock falling into the water, causing a thousand waves.

The Zhong family members present were all stunned for a moment. They had never expected that the treatment here would be so generous.

Among them, a younger disciple asked timidly, "Uncle Yinjian, this... is this really true?"

Song Yinjian displayed the authority of an elder and said, "You are all my nephews. How could I lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, the children of the Chong family expressed their sincere gratitude.

Afterwards, Song Yinyue systematically carried out professional and meticulous training for them.

Not far away, Shen He stood quietly in front of a stone tablet.

In her crystal clear eyes, only Song Yinjian's figure was moving back and forth.

Unknowingly, he has quietly become the center of his own world, the red rope that truly locks him down.

............................................

After completing the training of the Chong family disciples, Song Yinjian and Shen He set out on the journey back to Liyue Harbor.

The two walked slowly along the way, and when they came to a quaint, elegant and unique theater, they stopped involuntarily.

"Please go back, both of you. Yunhan Society has no performances scheduled today." A young apprentice at the door said politely.

Song Yinjian smiled warmly and said in a gentle voice, "I am a disciple of the Immortal Family, my name is Song Yinjian. I came here to pay a visit to Mr. Yun Jin."

After hearing the words "disciple of the immortal family," the apprentice hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then you wait here for a moment. I will go and inform them."

After saying this, he turned and left in a hurry.

After a while, he returned, breathing heavily, and said, "Mr. Yunjin has agreed to see you."

Afterwards, under his guidance, Song Yinjian and Shen He walked into the theater and met Yun Jin, a famous opera master who was well-known in Liyue, in an elegantly decorated reception room.

She was petite yet heroic, her eyebrows curved like willow trees, and her waist-length dark blue hair flowing smoothly. "Boss Song, I'm visiting you today. What could you possibly want to discuss?" Yun Jin asked gently.

Song Yinjian didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose: "Seven days later, I will hold a grand ceremony to send off the immortal and move the statue of Tongque Zhenjun from the original temple to the newly built temple at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

I would like to invite you to perform at this ceremony."

Yun Jin hesitated and said, "However, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for opera performances in ceremonies to send off immortals."

Song Yinjian smiled softly and asked, "Is Mr. Yun Jin also a person trapped in tradition and sticking to the rules?

Yun Jin still had some concerns in her heart, "The ceremony of sending off the immortals is an extremely solemn and dignified matter."

"It is precisely because of its excessive solemnity that the Immortal Sending Ceremony has gradually declined, and the number of people participating in it has also decreased year by year."

Song Yinjian's tone was faintly filled with disdain. "Besides, life in this world is already difficult and hard. Wouldn't it be a complete nuisance to participate in such a solemn and dignified ceremony?"

Yun Jin agreed with his words and responded, "I can perform at the Farewell Ceremony. How many pieces do you plan to let me perform?"

Song Yinjian pondered for a moment, "Two songs, and try to choose songs that praise immortals and gods."

Yun Jin responded, "Sure. As for the performance fee, I'll give you a 50% discount, 10 million Mora."

When Song Yinjian heard that the performance fee was 10 million Mora, he instantly felt a strong urge to turn around and leave.

The profit from a business deal is only a few tens of thousands of Mora. Sometimes, if you meet someone from a poor family, they may even have to pay money out of their own pocket to help them.

He cleared his throat, his face full of embarrassment. "Uh... Well, Mr. Yunjin, this Immortal Sending Ceremony is a public welfare project, and we don't charge any admission fees. You see..."

Yun Jin was also very embarrassed when he heard this. "Boss Song, 10 million Mora is already the lowest price. If we lower it further, it will violate the rules of our Yunhan Society."

Song Yinjian pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Yunjin, I am willing to pay the 10 million Mora, but I need your cooperation."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?" Yun Jin asked with confusion.

Song Yinjian explained slowly, "During the Immortal Sending Ceremony, we will be selling some goods to the audience. We'll need your help in making some brief introductions."

Yun Jin showed a hint of reluctance and said, "This... This is probably not appropriate. I just want to focus on the opera performance."

Seeing her reaction, Song Yinjian gestured with his hands like an accordion, "There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a disciple of the Immortal Clan, and no one knows the ritual of sending off an immortal better than me."

Chapter 67 The Immortal Sending Ceremony Begins

A day later, a piece of bombshell news spread rapidly throughout Liyue.

The immortal family rituals will hold a ceremony of sending off the immortals on an unprecedented scale.

The immortal being sent off in this ceremony was True Lord Tongque, who was also the protagonist of the best-selling novel "The Immortal Path Master". At one time, almost all fans of the novel decided to participate in this ceremony.

What’s even more exciting is that in addition to the immortals present, there will also be famous opera artist Yun Jin, rock singer Xin Yan and storyteller Tian Tiezui performing on stage.

This immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the entire Liyue Harbor.

On the streets and in the alleys, after dinner, everyone's topic revolved around this ceremony of sending off the immortals. There was a lot of discussion and the heat continued to rise.

At the foot of Tianheng Mountain, Song Yinjian was busy shuttling between engineering teams, directing the stage layout work in an orderly manner.

In the center of the vast venue, a magnificent stage was gradually taking shape.

On both sides of the stage are rows of neatly arranged temporary shops.

Inside the store, all kinds of goods ready for sale are piled up like mountains, neatly arranged and carefully packaged, waiting to be sold.

At this moment, Keqing walked up to Song Yinjian with light steps.

She stared at him with a complicated expression and said, "Boss Song, Qixing has decided to send a thousand Qianyan soldiers to maintain order at the Immortal Sending Ceremony."

Song Yinjian was slightly startled when he heard this. "Do we need so many Thousand Rocks soldiers?"

Keqing said confidently, "Yes. We estimate that nearly 100,000 people will participate in the ceremony."

Song Yinjian was shocked when he heard that there were 100,000 people. "Master Ke, how could there be such a large number of people?"

Keqing patiently explained, "First, due to the influence of that novel, True Monarch Tongque is very popular among the people. Secondly, for ordinary people, there aren't many opportunities to see Yunjin perform for free."

Song Yinjian then realized that he had been thinking too simply.

He originally thought that a maximum of 10,000 people would be considered a good number, as it would take an hour to walk from Liyue Harbor to this place.

But he underestimated the popularity of Tongque and Yunjin. Could it be that an hour's walk was equivalent to a two-hour trek, and many fans were willing to do it?

After learning that there were as many as 100,000 people participating, he immediately issued orders to re-plan the layout of the stage and auditorium.

At this moment, for Song Yinjian, profit is no longer the primary consideration, security is the top priority.

Because of such a large-scale gathering, if a stampede occurs, it will be an unimaginable disaster.

Making such a large-scale change and adjustment at short notice caused him to work day and night and overtime for many consecutive days.

Fortunately, the results of overtime work were quite significant, and Song Yinjian was fully confident in ensuring the safety of the ceremony of sending the immortals.

.........

Amid the eager anticipation of the people of Liyue, the day of the ceremony to send off the immortals finally arrived as scheduled.

As the morning light began to appear and the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Gou Saner woke up early from his sleep.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, then quickly walked to his old father's room and gently woke him up.

The father and son prepared a simple breakfast of porridge and side dishes. After eating it quickly, they tidied their clothes and walked out of the house hand in hand.

At this time, a few pedestrians had already appeared sparsely on the quiet street.

They were all heading in the same direction, which was the Bronze Sparrow Temple outside the city.

Gou Saner and his father also joined the crowd and moved steadily towards their destination.

Gou Saner's father is old and has difficulty walking, so he walks quite slowly.

By the time they arrived at the Tongque Temple, the morning sun had already burst out, casting its golden light on the earth, dispelling the last trace of haziness and chill in the early morning.

At this moment, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the Tongque Temple.

The noisy and boisterous crowd surrounded the dilapidated temple, making it impossible to get in or out.

Gou Saner relied on his tall stature to barely stick his head out of the crowd and just get a glimpse of the scene inside the temple.

At the entrance of the temple, Song Yinjian was seen dancing in the wind in a green Taoist robe. He stood tall and straight, holding the Sanqing Bell in his hand. His expression was solemn and dignified, and his eyes revealed a deep calmness and majesty.

Behind him, Gan Yu and Shen He stood gracefully, both of them wearing plain Taoist robes. The simple design and elegant colors made them look like fairies descending to earth, with a simple, elegant and fresh temperament.

Further behind them are a group of immortal disciples and their descendants.

The reason for this position is that the seniority of these three people is too high.

Soon, the sun rose high and reached noon.

Song Yinjian gently shook the Sanqing Bell, and the crisp and melodious bell sound echoed between heaven and earth, spreading out like ripples, and in an instant the surrounding world returned to peace and tranquility.

Then he recited loudly, "Tongque Zhenjun, I will move the Immortal Lord's temple to a higher place so that he can enjoy the incense and offerings of the people of Liyue.

I pray to the Immortal Lord to protect Liyue and bring peace and prosperity to the people."

After saying this, he rang the Sanqing Bell again.

At this time, Chongyun slowly walked over from the side, holding three incense sticks as thick as fingers in his hands devoutly.

Song Yinjian took it solemnly, lit it, and inserted it steadily into the incense burner in front of the Bronze Sparrow statue. He then stepped forward and respectfully performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine bows.

After he finished his ceremony, Gan Yu and Shen He each held a stick of incense and came forward to pay their respects.

Afterwards, the disciples of each immortal family and their descendants came forward in order to pay homage one by one.

After everyone finished their worship, Song Yinjian once again rang the Three Purities Bell, turned to face the crowd outside, and spoke aloud, "Tongque Zhenjun, you bravely sacrificed your life for the people of Liyue. You truly deserve our sincere faith and respect. We bow to you to express our gratitude."

Chapter 68: Sending Immortals to the Ceremony

Gou Saner held his father's hand tightly and followed the long dragon-like team slowly towards the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

His gaze was fixed on Song Yinjian, who was at the front of the team, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
