I travel through countless worlds at the same time

"Hehe, since Guest Zhongli has said so, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Please sit anywhere you like. Since you are my Paimon's friend, Kurumi, you are also a friend of Higashino Yuu and Ying."

As she spoke, Paimon thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Walnut. It was obvious that she really didn't want to lose this rich and powerful friend.

Seeing this scene, Ying pouted subconsciously. You know, they have been traveling together for such a long time, but Paimon has never pulled out a chair for her.

There were four people at the table, plus Paimeng flying in the air, so the table was full.

Looking at the lively girl beside him, Dongye You pondered for two seconds and said slowly.

"Although I don't know what Hall Master Hu Tao wants to talk to us about, I think it should be a big deal. After all, it just scared Paimeng. Paimeng asked for three meals at Xinyuexuan, which was already a big ask. You actually said that thirty meals would be no problem.

Although I know that the Hall of Rebirth is the oldest funeral procession in Liyue's history, and that it can even be traced back to the time when Morax conquered the world, you are not the only funeral business after all. Even if you earn a lot of money, it is still a certain amount.

The reason you are offering this price is probably because this business will allow you to earn more."

That's right, although in the game, it seems that only Wangshengtang handles funeral affairs, but in fact, Liyue is so large, how could there be only one place to handle funerals? If so, this monopoly is too serious. Apart from anything else, the Liyue Seven Stars will not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, in addition to the Wangsheng Hall, Liyue has many funeral processions, but in terms of history, only the Wangsheng Hall has a long history.

712. No one is more suitable to be the MC than Zhongli

It is for this reason that some jobs can only be taken by Wangsheng Hall.

Because this place represents authenticity and is the leader of the entire Liyue funeral industry.

It can be said that in the funeral world, the status of the Hall of Rebirth is like that of Confucianism in the world today.

When talking about funerals, one thinks of the Hall of the Rebirth, and when talking about Confucianism, Confucius is a mountain that cannot be avoided.

Therefore, some special funerals can only be held in the Hall of Rebirth.

such as……

The Seven Stars of Liyue.

For example, the Rock King who died not long ago...

Whether it is the Seven Stars of Liyue or the Geo Emperor, they are all the highest-ranking people in the country of Liyue, and only the Hall of Rebirth is worthy of hosting their funerals.

These funerals are also the most profitable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the business has been profitable for three years.

"Really? Are you really going to hold a funeral for Emperor Yan?"

Paimon widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

You know, they were the first witnesses to the death of Rock King, and they were almost caught at that time.

No, to be precise, if the young master hadn't helped them hide, they would have been caught on the spot.

Although they have temporarily cleared their suspicions and even established a connection with the Seven Stars of Liyue, they are only preparing for the ceremony of sending off the immortals.

But what Hu Tao is doing now is holding a funeral for Emperor Rock King, which are two completely different things.

The Inviting Immortals Code is to invite all the immortals, and the Sending Away Immortals Code is to send all the immortals away.

The funeral was a final farewell to the rock god Morax.

"That's right. The Rock God Morax protected Liyue for a thousand years. Now he is gone. It would be too depressing if he didn't have a funeral."

Walnut nodded.

"But...but, why did you find Higashino Yuu?"

Paimon opened his mouth, still unable to understand. Not to mention the fact that it was unlucky to be found by Walnut, who was holding a funeral, it was strange in itself that Walnut was looking for him.

You have to know that Higashino Yu is a traveler from another world. Even if we don't talk about his identity as a traveler from another world, he is still from Mondstadt. Is it really okay to let people from Mondstadt participate in the funeral of the Liyue gods?

"The purpose of our Hall of the Dead is to send the deceased back to the underworld comfortably, while also satisfying the living. This is something that requires a very good balance."

"But holding a funeral for Rock God, to be honest, I have searched all the books and still can't find out what kind of funeral should be held for Rock God."

"The most solemn funeral in the Hall of Rebirth is held by the Seven Stars of Liyue. Every time a generation of the Seven Stars of Liyue dies, even ordinary people have to wear mourning clothes for 27 days. I can't let the funeral of Emperor Geowang be just more solemn than that of the Seven Stars of Liyue. If that were the case, I would be too sorry for him."

"So I thought about whether I could find an unprecedented funeral method to bury the old Rock King. However, I am limited by my knowledge and can't think of a better way. I just happened to hear that you two travelers from another world are coming. Isn't this like sending pillows when you are sleepy? So I came to invite you!"

"Of course, don't worry. I won't invite you for nothing. I will pay you a lot when the time comes."

Kurumi said as she winked at the two of them.

"Hmm...Holding a high-level funeral for the Rock King, which has never been seen before in this world? This is an interesting thing. Don't you think so, Mr. Zhongli?"

Higashino Yu touched his chin and smiled.

Zhongli, who was standing by, looked at the faces of the people with a blank expression. Even he did not expect that Hu Tao wanted to find Dong Yeyou to hold a funeral for himself.

"This is really an interesting thing in terms of universality..."

Zhongli said in a steady voice as he drank his tea.

But he looked at Higashino Yu and hadn't said a word.

That is.

"But before holding the funeral, can you please consider the feelings of the deceased?"

"But even if I can help you find a solution, are you sure you can help Yan Shen hold a funeral?"

Dong Yeyou glanced at her and asked.

You should know that Liyue has been in a restricted state since the assassination of Geo God. The Seven Stars of Liyue are trying to find the murderer who assassinated Geo God, while also trying to curb the chaos caused by the death of Geo God. It can be said that they are very busy.

"Hehe, don't worry about that. I've already made all the connections. Besides, there's no place more suitable for holding a funeral for old man Yan Shen except the Hall of Rebirth."

The Yaksha once fought against the demons, and the battle was dizzying and dark. Although the demons were defeated in the end, their resentment lingered for a long time. Some of the resentment turned into a plague and spread among ordinary people. The terrified people thought it was a "curse from the demons."

Many people were killed by the plague, and the plague continued to spread by feeding on the dead. Later, someone discovered a way to stop the spread of the plague: purifying the air by burning the corpses. The first group of people who started doing this were the founders of the "Wangsheng Hall".

During the Demon War, the world was devastated, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and death devoured the living. At that time, the Hall of Rebirth was born. As an insignificant human, it took a long time to drive death back. After a long time, the balance was restored and the boundary between life and death was clearly drawn. Only then did the current Liyue Port and the Hall of Rebirth come into being.

"And the reason I came to you is just to give King Yan a special funeral. In fact, besides you being my trump card, I also have another trump card, which is our guest official Zhongli!"

As she spoke, Hu Tao flashed and appeared in front of Zhongli.

"Hang Yeyou, you have just come to Liyue and have not been here long enough, so you may not know that Mr. Zhongli is the person who knows Geo King best in all of Teyvat!"

"Although there are many differences in many details with those who specialize in studying the Rock King, no one can surpass Mr. Zhongli in ancient books and etiquette. I have even decided that when the funeral is held, the post of etiquette officer will be given to Mr. Zhongli."

"Just think about it, what a great man the Rock King is. When you look at Zhongli, doesn't he make you feel at ease? To be frank, based on my many years of funeral experience, there is simply no one more suitable than Zhongli to be the master of ceremonies this time."

713. Rock God’s Integrity Lost in His Later Years

"..."

Looking at Hu Tao patting Zhongli's shoulder and flattering him proudly, Higashino Yu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Let Zhongli be the master of ceremonies at the funeral.

Should he say Hu Tao is lucky or something? After all, Zhongli is the Geo King himself!

Thinking about Zhongli, this was supposed to be his funeral and he was supposed to be in the coffin, but now he was serving as the master of ceremonies.

"What do you think about letting you, the guest official Zhongli, be the master of ceremonies?"

Looking at Zhongli who was stiff all over, Higashino You's expression was also very strange.

"Yes, what's wrong, Zhongli Keqing? I see that your face seems a little strange. Don't you want to? You know, I made a great decision to give you this opportunity to show off."

Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li and couldn't help but say.

"You have to know that holding a funeral for the Rock King is something that only happens once in a thousand years, and you being the master of ceremonies walking in the front will definitely be recorded in the history books. More importantly, your Eye of God is of rock attribute. In my opinion, you were born for this day!"

"Hearing what you said, Hu Tao, it seems that Zhongli really does have a reassuring temperament!"

Paimeng on the side couldn't help but look around Zhongli when he heard this.

Zhongli himself has an indescribable nobleness, and the bonus of rock attribute makes this temperament even more reassuring.

"No, everything is up to the hall master." Zhongli said expressionlessly while drinking tea.

Higashino You on the side looked at everything in front of him silently, and then sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being Morax, he can even endure what everyone said without being shaken at all.

"Hahaha, that's great. I knew you would agree, Guest Zhongli."

Sure enough, after hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao smiled.

"Then Mr. Dongye, if you have any good ideas, you can tell me now. If they are good, I can not only double the reward, but also half the price if you need any service in the future!"

Looking at Higashino Yuu, Kurumi couldn't help but smile.

"Uh... forget it. The existence that wants to kill me in this world hasn't been born yet."

As he spoke, Higashino Yuu looked up at the distant sky.

Even in Liyue, with Higashino Yu's eyes, he could clearly see the small island floating in the sky.

Sky Island.

That is the most mysterious place in the entire Teyvat. Whether it is the Eye of God or the Heart of God, it is said that they are inextricably linked to the Sky Island. Even the heroine Ying and the hero Sora of the original God fell and were sealed to this era because of the law of the Sky Island.

"Hahaha, I thought I was enough, but I didn't expect that you, Higashino Yuu, are even more arrogant than me. But aging, illness and death are the norm in life, and you can't just refuse them if you want to."

Hu Tao laughed out loud when he heard that.

Zhongli on the side glanced at Higashino Yu silently.

He still hasn't fully figured out the mystery of Higashino Yuu.

"Well, in that case, let me tell you a few ways for your reference. First, we will prepare a few black people, and then put the rock god Morax in a coffin and let them carry it and dance. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Higashino You waved his hand, and the ancient document instantly unfolded, and at the same time a dance of black people carrying a coffin was released.

There’s even matching music.

"Hmm! This is not bad, I like it very much, but I'm afraid that everyone in Liyue won't be able to accept it."

Looking at those black men dancing continuously, Hu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

But then it dimmed again.

After all, this time the funeral is for the Rock God Morax. If this is the case, she might be driven out by the people of Liyue.

You should know that there have been such lively funerals before, but they were only held with the consent of the funeral host.

However, it might be difficult to obtain the consent of all the people in Liyue now.

"But I can write this down and give it to someone who needs it in the future. Of course, I won't reduce your reward."

"Okay, how about this?"

Hearing that Kurumi disagreed, Higashino Yu didn't say anything. He then waved his hand and another winning scene appeared.

The first part of the scene looks very normal, just an ordinary funeral. But after the body was buried, a group of beautiful young ladies came up directly. Each of them twisted their waists and hips in front of the tombstone and performed a beautiful dance.

"Um... Dong Yeyou, what are you doing..."

At this moment, not to mention Paimeng who was standing aside, even Ying who had been standing quietly aside couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, about that. It's not that I don't know what old Yan Shen likes, but I think that man doesn't like pretty girls. If he liked them when he was alive, then why would he not like them after he dies? That's impossible!"

"Mr. Zhongli, what do you think? Should we recruit some good-looking girls to our Wangsheng Hall in the future?"

Hu Tao's eyes became brighter as she listened, and she subconsciously turned to look at Zhongli.

"This...it's up to you, the hall master. Maybe someone really likes this. But I think Morax may not like this. After all, according to rumors. Morax often likes to transform into various forms, even into a beast, so I feel this may not be very attractive to him."

Looking at Hu Tao, Zhongli's tone was serious when he said these words.

After all, it would be fine for him to hold his own funeral, but he didn't want to see some women dressed in fancy clothes dancing at his funeral.

Although he was not a god who cared about fame and fortune, he also knew the saying "one's integrity will be lost in old age."

"Hehe, then I can get a bunch of little animals to dance in front of his grave. You can keep this for now. As expected of a traveler from another world, you have so many good ideas. Do you have any other ideas?"

"No, Higashino Yuu, don't you have any normal funeral practices in your world? These two you released are too weird!"

Paimon on the side couldn't help but complain when watching.

"Well... there are others, but this one is usually only used by the most advanced people in our world."

Looking at Hu Tao and then at Zhongli, Higashino You thought about it and finally released a special video.
