I, the leader of the secret sect, will do great things in the infinite world!

Seeing that the matter had been settled, everyone walked out the door and went about their affairs.

"This matter has troubled you all." Ke Qing handed over to everyone, "It's a pity that I have no time now. When I deal with this matter, I will hold a banquet at Yuehai Pavilion to entertain you."

After finishing speaking, the resolute Yu Hengxing left in a hurry again, trotting all the way towards Yujingtai Yuehai Pavilion, followed by several officers of the General Affairs Department, out of breath.

"Master Keqing is really a role model for our generation." Bai Shu pushed his glasses, touched Changsheng's head, "Qiqi should have returned from Ending Clouds, and I will go back to Bubulu to prepare medicinal materials. By the way , Master Hutao, Qiqi is a drug boy from Bubulu, I have reported it to the General Affairs Department, so don't think about cremating Qiqi anymore."

The hippie-faced Walnut is rarely embarrassed.

"Well...then I'll go back to the law firm to draft the articles of association." Yan Fei was about to leave when Li Lin stopped her.

"Shen He, you go with Yan Fei." Li Lin smiled wisely, took out a note written by Gan Yu from his pocket and handed it over, "Wait for Grandma Ping first."

Yan Fei took the note and looked Li Lin up and down, as if she had re-acquainted with his identity, she hesitated to speak.

"Yeah." Shen He didn't say anything, and walked behind Yan Fei with that ice face.

After the two left, Hu Tao began to circle around Li Lin: "Oh, Yan Fei is a famous person in Liyue Port, could it be...?"

"Master, you should go back and make up for your absence during this period." Zhong Li patted her on the head.

"Oh, don't pat me on the head, I won't grow tall—no, how dare you talk about me." Hu Tao retorted mutteringly.

But even though she refuted, she obediently went back to deal with the affairs of the Hall of Rebirth.

After all, Master Zhong is a nominal guest and can be bad, but she is the hall master, so she can't.

Looking at the retreating figures of everyone, Zhongli stood with his hands behind his hands, a helpless smile like an old father's smile on his face: "The current hall master is lively and clever, I really can't cope with it."

"Mr. Bai Shu has superb medical skills and medical ethics. He has been seeking the welfare of the people of Liyue for decades."

"Although Yanfei has never signed a contract with me, she has fulfilled the contract with Liyue in her own way. If her father returns from a long journey one day, I'm afraid she will be more pleased than me."

"Ke Qing is the person I admire the most - she doesn't fear the gods." Zhongli raised his palm, rubbed the ring on his thumb, and smiled, "As long as you think you are right, say it loudly, go Implementing it, perhaps it is precisely because there are people like this in Liyue that made me start thinking about the future direction of Liyue."

Li Lin didn't say anything, he just walked in front and signaled Zhong Li to follow.

The Rock King Emperor, who walked the earth as a mortal, raised his eyebrows and followed Li Lin. He also worked as a part-time tour guide to introduce Liyue to Li Lin.

"This is the beating heart of Liyue, eating tiger rock. The busy and prosperous market here is where Liyue's infinite vitality lies."

"That's Feiyunpo. It's a prosperous place where many businesses are flourishing, and the residents of Liyue can live a carefree life. Even if the moon is high in the sky, the lights are still bright."

"This is Mingxingzhai, a well-known and time-honored jewelry store in Liyue Port. During its heyday, the jewels in the store shone like stars in the sky."

Li Lin stopped suddenly, pointing to the boy on the side of the road who was comforting his sister: "What is this?"

Zhong Li pondered for a long time, but did not make a sound.

It was not until a long time later that he shook his head and replied, "I am not an omnipotent, omniscient god."

It seemed that Li Lin and Zhong Li stood there for a long time, and their gazes were more distinctive. The boy who was comforting the crying little girl said something in a low voice, and walked towards this side.

The boy looked to be only about ten years old, but he already knew the etiquette. He stood not far away from them and bowed his hands: "What do you two gentlemen have to say? If you are an acquaintance who comes to pay your respects to your mother, you can Please come in."

"What's your name?" Li Lin asked.

Although he didn't know why, the boy answered honestly: "I am Yizhu, and my sister Yixian is over there. Our father passed away very early, and it is our mother who has brought us up to this day. Now... .”

At the end of speaking, Yizhu's eye circles were already red, and his voice trembled a little.

"Your mother is—"

"Mother, my lord, Hua Nian." Yizhu said with a sob, "I used to be an adventurer of the association."

"Well, take me in for a stick of incense." Li Lin followed Yizhu into the room, picked up a stick of incense and lit it with his fingers, and then inserted it into the incense burner in front of him.

There is only a shallow layer of incense ash in the copper furnace, and there are only a few incense heads. I am afraid that Hua Nian does not have that many "acquaintances".

Li Lin looked up, looked at Hua Nian's black and white photo, turned around and asked Yi Zhu: "Is your mother's body here?"

"What do you mean?" Yizhu's voice rose a little.

"Your mother may have been deliberately killed by others." Li Lin stood in the mourning hall with his hands behind his back, and said softly.

The voice was as light as a breeze, but it was as heavy as thunder in Yi Zhu's ears.

He almost didn't remember how he answered. He just knelt down on the ground numbly and kowtowed to the man he had never met before.

Yizhu, who was only ten years old, wailed loudly: "There is no body left behind for my mother...all I have left here is a set of worn clothes! You, please..."

Li Lin stopped Yizhu from making further movements and picked him up: "Don't cry."

"I won't cry, I won't cry!" Yizhu wiped his face fiercely, but the tears still couldn't stop pouring out from between his fingers.

Li Lin didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall where the white silk fluttered. Outside the door, he saw Yixian, a little girl with red eyes.

"Uncle—" Yixian said timidly, "Can I still see my mother?"

"Maybe." Li Lin replied.

She is younger than Yizhu, so she deserves special treatment.

He turned around and walked towards Zhongli who was waiting outside the door, looked at that elegant face, and said lightly, "Follow me."

Zhong Li followed Li Lin silently.

The sky did not know when the clouds gathered, and faint rain lines fell from the sky.

Liyue started to rain.

187 Slap all over the railing to hear the sound of rain

Guiliyuan used to be a bustling city, and some old people who are familiar with ancient stories would often talk about it, saying that Liyue once had not only a "Rock King Emperor", but also a "Dust King Demon God".

That God of Dust was named Gui Mo, and although he was not good at martial arts, he was good at wisdom. He made the prototypes of all the utensils in Liyue's first days, and drew up the life outline of many tribes in Liyue at that time.

At that time, the war of demons and gods was raging on the mainland, and the God of Dust finally set up a powerful crossbow "Gimme Machine" to defend the three thousand miles to the north of Tianqu Mountain, and led the people to plow and settle in the fields. .

Later, the Demon God War was chaotic, and Guiliyuan was abandoned in the flames of war. The Dust God finally entrusted her people to the Rock God, turning it into a sandstorm that covered the sky and blocked the attacker's blade.

Of course, that has happened thousands of years ago. Guiliyuan has been abandoned for a long time, and the end-of-life machine has long been forgotten. Sometimes there are poets who travel to Guiliyuan to visit ancient times. What can be found is not always ancient. Most of the old things are Qiuqiu people and slimes.

"If you meet the Treasure Bandit, it's a good thing. At least the Treasure Bandit wants money. If you give more, those big brothers and sisters will give you a ride in a loyal way."

"If it's Qiuqiu people and slime, I'll ask Lord Yan to give me a scud—maybe I can run out."

"If those big iron men, hey, they might as well cut themselves a knife and die more quickly."

The person who spoke was Boss Zhu.

From the south of Guiliyuan to the north of Liyue Port, the most famous traveler's inn is naturally the one that stands up against the trees. It is said that there are immortals living there, and everyone from the lady proprietress to the cook has good skills. Wangshu Inn for visitors.

If you go further north, you will find the border between Liyue and Mondstadt. There are only some stalls run by tea doctors. They are not really inns, they can only be described as tea stalls. However, two bowls of herbal tea are enough to quench your thirst.

According to this theory, the boss Zhu named Zhu should also go to Guiliyuan, or Dihuazhou and Wangshu Inn, but he didn't do that, but in the north of Liyue City, A small inn was opened on the side of the road facing the statue of Lord Yan.

Boss Zhu rubbed his eyes, looked at the statue of King Yan leaning against the mountain in the distance with calm and compassionate eyes, and sighed: "Damn it, why didn't Lord Yan bless us to make a fortune?"

Thinking of the flowery maidservants at home, and his father and mother who forced marriage, the young Boss Zhu's worries and melancholy are as endless as the rain.

The drizzle beat on the eaves like a string of beaded curtains.

Boss Zhu became more and more angry as he watched, smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and shouted towards the second floor of the inn.

"Why the fuck do you think I signed that contract with my mother?!"

Lord Yan has an ancient saying: the contract has been fulfilled, and those who break the promise shall be punished by eating the rock.In these big families, what kind of punishment is this rock-eating punishment... Boss Zhu, who knew the inside story, shivered in fright.

The beautiful maid, who was reading a story book on the second floor, leaning on the building to listen to the rain, closed the book with a snap, twisted her waist, and cast a supercilious look at Boss Zhu downstairs who kept barking.

Boss Zhu naturally didn't expect her to say anything, after all, she was just a little girl who only knew how to fantasize about Prince Charming.

How can there be so many gods riding colorful auspicious clouds in the world, and how can there be so many knights riding white horses?

No matter how much Jianghu spirit is, it is just a glass of dirty wine in the end.

Just when he thought that his inn failed, he would have to go back to inherit the huge family business of Liyuegang, and he would never be free again, nor could he see the boundless country, Boss Zhu couldn't help sighing again.

"Life is more lonely, leaning on the fence and listening to the rain sonar."

He said he was listening to the sound of rain, but the continuous bead curtain was smashed by two figures.

Boss Zhu's droopy eyelids opened instantly, he dipped some tea and pressed it on his temples, then put on a smiling face: "Hey, distinguished guests, rare guests - are you two working as a guest or staying at the hotel?"

"If you want to eat, the stir-fried pork slices in our store are delicious even the Lord Yan is full of praise; if you are thirsty, this big bowl of herbal tea is also the secret recipe in Liyuegang; if you are in a hurry, there are freshly made Hot Mora Pie."

As he spoke, Boss Zhu rubbed his hands and looked at the two male and female guests in front of him who were slightly dressed in shabby clothes.

The man was about 30 years old. He wore a pair of glasses that were rare in Liyue Port and a shabby green shirt. His spine was as straight as a penholder.

Although the young woman next to him was wearing makeup, she looked to be in her early twenties, but judging by her figure and behavior, she was clearly at the age of just leaving the court, and judging by her walking posture, Boss Zhu was even more sure that this girl was It must be the lady who eloped with her lover in Liyue Port.

Boss Zhu felt a little more contemptuous, but his face didn't show any expression. He quickly called the two guests to sit down, and then called the tired little maid on the second floor to serve tea and water for the two guests.

The teacher took out two Mora from his pocket and put them on the table, and even his conversation was a little bit polite: "The shopkeeper... how much is the price of the stir-fried pork slices?"

Boss Zhu came out from behind the counter and looked at the two hundred-dollar Mora coins on the table, the smile on his face didn't fade.

"Guest officer, the stir-fried pork slices in our small shop are not expensive. You only need [-] Mora to serve a plate. The portion is enough, even a big man can eat enough - if you think it is expensive, then come here A mora meat pie can also fill the stomach, and it only costs four hundred moras..."

"Shopkeeper, you will pay extra for the stir-fried pork slices. I want to ask you something." The teacher with gray temples shook his head.

"Inquire about something? Let's talk about it." Boss Zhu swept his sleeves across the table, and the two shining golden moras disappeared. "I don't know what the guest officer wants to ask?"

The teacher pondered for a moment, before he spoke: "I'm not going to hide it from the shopkeeper... I and my wife eloped and fled."

"why--"

As soon as the girl next to him opened her mouth, her crisp voice was exposed, and she immediately covered her mouth in fright, so she could only stare at the teacher with wide eyes, for some reason he wanted to reveal his identity on his own initiative.

The teacher smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to pat the girl on the back of the hand: "I'm afraid that the shopkeeper's eyes are vicious, and he has already seen us."

The smile on Boss Zhu's face did not change, and he put his hands in his sleeves: "Women's feelings, young Muai, these are things written in books. My inn has been here for so long, and I have seen the runaway couple. Dozens of pairs... always ask for directions in a roundabout way.”

"Then..." the girl next to the teacher said timidly, "Those lovers who ran away, are they happy in the end?"

Boss Zhu thought that I made it up on the spot, how could I know whether these people were happy or not, but he didn't point it out, just laughed: "Look at what you said, how can this be done? It's just that most of the men and women who run away are right. It's hard to understand this feeling, if the man never abandons the woman and lives up to it in the future, it will naturally lead to a good marriage."

Boss Zhu was speaking comforting words, but his fingers dipped in the water in the teacup, and he drew a rough topographic map on the table.

"Go along the official road first, and when you see those Qianyan soldiers, avoid to the right, cross a mountain, and then go to the ancient road to Guiliyuan. These ancient roads are probably deserted, but you can walk along the veins to suppress stones. The monsters dare not approach..."

"Of course, the earth vein town stone can protect the traveler from the invasion of monsters, but it can't prevent the big brothers and sisters of the treasure thieves. If you meet them, you should give up a few belongings. These big brothers and sisters of the treasure thieves may take you all the way." Send to Mond."

"If not, then you should report the name of Sister Bao'er. In Liyue Gang's treasure robbery group, who would not give Sister Bao'er face? But this property will naturally have to be made up in the future."

After Boss Zhu finished speaking, he stood up with a smile and took a step back: "How about it, the two hundred Mo La flowers are not wronged, right?"

"No injustice, no injustice!" The teacher carefully remembered the picture in his mind, then stretched out his hand to erase it, took out Mora from his sleeve, walked over and put it on the counter, his voice became a little more heroic, "Shopkeeper, please serve a large plate of stir-fried pork slices. Use less spicy. Also prepare five molasses and two bowls of herbal tea."

"Okay, sir, Chen Hui has four thousand and fifty molars. Let's wipe out the change and charge you four thousand." Boss Zhu took out forty molars from the bag and hurriedly walked over to The chef ordered the little maid to start cooking.

The sound of the rain gradually became lighter, and the bead curtains under the corners of the eaves continued intermittently.

The teacher returned to his seat and looked at the girl beside him with a little more tenderness in his eyes.

"Hua Chu, when we leave Liyue and go to Mengde, we will be completely free."

188 Two or Three Visitors in the Rain

Liyue is a country of contract, Mondstadt is a free city-state.

Legend has it that there is a giant dragon that drives the wind, and there is also a wind god who refuses to wear a crown. People in Mond City live freely and love freely. It is a kingdom of wine and poetry.

"Really?" Hua Chu raised her brows and eyes, a little more hopeful in her heart, "I heard that the god of Mond is not like Lord Yan..."

"That's right." Mr. Jian Qiu, the teacher, replied gently, "Mond is a city-state of the wind. They believe in the wind god named Barbatos, but Barbatos never deliberately plans the lives of each of his people. He promised The people of Mondstadt live freely."

"That's why I want to take you to Monde, because there is no Mr. De'an, no Miss Huachu, no poor teacher Jianqiu, only the scholar Jianqiu and his beloved Huachu .”

"When we get there, the wind will blow away all the mistakes we made."

"Really?" Hua Chu subconsciously asked, "But Prince Yan..."

Jianqiu held Hua Chu's hand, with a firm yet gentle look in his eyes: "How could Emperor Yanwang take care of us when he is so busy - if he is really like the thunder god from a neighboring country, he is said to see everything with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes. How can there be so much injustice in Liyue Port all over the world?"

"According to this principle, he needs to clean up Liyue Port first."

"Hey, what this gentleman said is wrong."

The "bead curtain" hanging in front of the door was lifted again, and two teenagers came hand in hand, the one on the left was wearing a blue chivalrous uniform, the one on the right was wearing a pure white alchemist uniform, and both of them were wearing the Eye of God.

It was the chivalrous man in Tsing Yi who spoke, but his age was so...young that his old-fashioned temperament seemed to be forced.
