The young man who had returned from another country pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile:
"I have some business matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer.
——This chat was very pleasant. I would like to trouble the boss to pack two servings of wontons. I haven’t eaten anything from my hometown for a long time. ”
"Okay, I'll put the wontons in the pot for you right now. We hit it off right away, so I'll give you a few more."
"If you are satisfied, don't forget to bring your friends back as we agreed before."
"."
Delivered the packaged wontons to the customer in front of him,
The boss smiled and waved his hand, sending this somewhat 'special' young man away.
".Alliance."
“This is really an unexpected situation.”
Holding two wontons in my hands, I walked slowly down the street.
The "rich man" Pantalone also felt a little bit of difficulty for the first time in a long time because of this development which was so different from the plan.
".Is this what they call a 'variable'?"
"Mr. General Officer, who calls himself a 'fool', did you expect such a development?"
Although the "plan" has not officially started, facing the situation that has been turned upside down by unexpected factors,
Pantalone was also somewhat curious as to how the chief could achieve his original goal amid such resistance.
But no matter what, although he did not come to Liyue with good intentions this time, facing such a situation,
Apart from the headache of thinking about adjusting the plan, he was not too worried about his own safety.
——After all, gods are often symbols of rules. Where gods exist, "order" will be clearer and more specific.
Although he is called a "rich man", he has never been a disruptor of order.
Instead, he is the one who creates the rules and uses them.
Therefore, as long as he does not get caught, he will act within the order and take advantage of the system.
Then, under the military protection of Winter Solstice, the Ninth Seat, as the executive officer, naturally does not need to worry about the judgment from God.
Because of compliance with the rules,
In most cases, when Pantalone was sent as an envoy to other countries, he was the one who obeyed the law the most and was the hardest to catch.
He genuinely despised the violent methods used by his colleagues that lacked any aesthetic sense and only left a mess for themselves.
——Especially the guy who was going to be sent here later, he had no intention of cooperating with him at all.
The kind of idiot who is annoying at first sight and whose mind is full of fighting and killing, apart from the most basic responsibility of providing funds,
He didn't want to have anything to do with this 'outlaw' who might implicate him.
"Amid the sound of drums and gongs, swords, spears, and halberds flutter in the air"
".Nu Chanjuan is now dressed as the flag-bearing general."
Pantalone was thinking, and when he walked past a teahouse at the edge of Feiyunpo, he suddenly heard bursts of opera sounds coming from above.
The singing is gentle and melodious, the voice is clear and soft, even if only a few words can be heard faintly, one can get a glimpse of the performer's years of hard work off the stage.
——But what attracted the executive officer's attention was not the opera itself or the performers themselves.
All he saw was a square orange-yellow gem on the performer's chest.
——This is what people call the "Eye of God".
On the stage, there was a black-haired girl wearing a phoenix crown and a bird-shaped shawl. She was only in her prime years, but the opera she sang drew frequent applause from the audience below.
The golden gem given to her by the gods also flew up and down during the performance, which seemed to indirectly illustrate the efforts she had made in opera.
"."
Pantalone stood there and watched for a while, then finally shook his head and sneered with some disdain:
"Oh, a mere actor who makes people laugh can actually get the favor of the God of Rock."
"This so-called Rock King Emperor is probably getting old and confused."
Tomorrow's ceremony to invite the immortals?
Let me see what the authoritative god of Xumi and the elderly Rock King are trying to say.
Pantalone, who was in a bad mood because he saw something ridiculous, shook his head.
When passing the corner of the road, he casually threw a package of wontons that he had originally planned to bring to his colleagues into the trash can.
With his own dinner, the "rich man" went to the core base he had buried in Liyue many years ago - the Northland Bank, with some inexplicable mood.
On the north side of Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace is the venue for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.
Lin Feng, who returned from Grandma Ping with the Dust-Clearing Bell,
Just arrived at Yujingtai,
He happened to see the Emperor placing a whole pig with mushrooms growing on its back on the sacrificial plate.
Lin Feng: "."
So this is why they asked me what Xumi specialties I liked?
If I had known this earlier, I would have just said a mushroom. It is really difficult for the Emperor to find a mushroom pig in Liyue.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the other party had finally finished all the work including placing the incense sticks, Lin Feng walked forward and handed the Dust-Cleansing Bell in his hand to Zhongli.
"Yes, this is the Dust Purifying Bell... Well, judging from the way it has been kept, my old friend has taken better care of it than I expected."
"——In addition to this bell, if I'm not mistaken, she should have asked you to bring some words, right?"
Zhongli was very familiar with the temperament of his old friend, so before Lin Feng could speak, he asked first.
"The Emperor is indeed very wise. Although he didn't have any specific words for me to convey, he did have a few words of advice."
"——Generally speaking, I hope that the Emperor can use this Dust Purifying Bell with confidence and not get lost in the trivial matters of the past."
".Trivia?"
"Forget it. It's just a thing of the past. Let's not talk about it."
Zhongli shook his head, obviously unwilling to start the story from the beginning at this point in time.
Looking at the venue that had finally been arranged, he heaved a sigh of relief after checking the Dust Cleansing Bell and said to the young man in front of him:
"——Now that the Dust-Clearing Bell has been borrowed back, the preparations for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony are now complete.
“I just wonder if you have encountered any problems in your practice of the incarnation method?
If you have any questions, you can ask them now, and I can use my experience to help you answer them. "
"——This is the tradition of Liyue. My friend is willing to accommodate me. As the host, I should naturally provide some help."
Facing Zhongli's concern, Lin Feng recalled his practice of the "Incarnation Method" in recent days, shook his head subtly, and said:
".There is no problem. This method of condensing the body through elements and briefly giving it life is a rare method even for me."
"If I have to say it, I should thank the Emperor for his generous sharing."
Recalling what he felt during the previous practice, that special experience that was like giving life to the elemental aggregate, Lin Feng became more and more amazed at Liyue's various secret magic arts.
"Haha, this incarnation method is not a secret at all, it's just that the difficulty of practicing is a bit too high, so no one uses it."
"——If you don't have the ability to control elements at the authority level, even if you learn it, it will only be a flashy empty shell with no practical use."
"You were able to learn it in a few days. If my old friends knew about this, they would probably be ashamed."
Zhongli smiled. Although this method was very difficult,
But having witnessed Lin Feng's ability to control elements, he was obviously not surprised by the current result.
"If there are no problems with the practice of that method..."
"——I wonder if you have decided which form of fairy beast you will appear in?"
"——Don't worry too much. As a god, form is only the most superficial appearance. Even if you choose it at will, it will not affect the result."
Knowing the other party's previous struggles, Zhong Li spoke to comfort him.
"Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I have already made the decision."
Lin Feng responded promptly and decisively.
"Oh? Which one?"
Zhongli was a little curious.
".Since I came here with friendship and goodwill, I have no intention of using my image to bring a sense of oppression to the people of Liyue.
Therefore, the dragon and roc shapes that overemphasize power and easily make people afraid are not very suitable. "
"But the deer and crane forms are symbols of the immortals, often representing the native immortals of Liyue. This is inconsistent with my original intention of coming here on behalf of Xumi."
Lin Feng paused and rejected several possible forms he had imagined at the beginning.
"——After comprehensive consideration, the one you recommended earlier, which appeared in ancient Liyue,
The wood-type fairy unicorn represents auspiciousness, benevolence, growth and vitality. Whether in terms of meaning or status, it is indeed the most appropriate choice at the moment."
He glanced at the blue-haired girl who was staring at a high-quality Qingxin tribute in a corner of Yujingtai.
Lin Feng smiled and told his answer to Zhongli in front of him.
Chapter 193 The Real Ceremony of Inviting the Immortal
Chapter 193 The Real "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals"
On a winter morning, the thousand-year-old Liyue Harbor gradually awakens in the morning light.
The sky had not yet completely lost the inky color of the night, and was tinged with a slight paleness.
On the bluestone-paved streets, thin frost flickers with a faint silver light, adding a touch of simplicity and heaviness to this coastal port city.
But unlike the cold weather, Liyue Harbor seems unprecedentedly lively at this moment.
As the Summoning Immortal Ceremony approaches, students and vendors alike wish to pray to the Rock King for a smooth year ahead.
The businessmen who wanted to interpret the oracle as soon as possible and gain a first-mover advantage for their business next year have now left their homes and plan to reserve a spot at Yujingtai as soon as possible.
For a moment, at this time when only a few hawkers would appear in the past, the entire Liyue Harbor seemed as noon, noisy and crowded.
At this moment, on the top floor of a wooden building at Feiyun Slope,
Two young men dressed in winter clothes,
Standing at the edge of the fence, somewhat out of place, he watched the extremely lively scene below as a spectator.
I was moved by this scene that I could never see in the land of ice and snow.
The orange-haired young man standing on the left turned his head slightly, raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the black-haired young man next to him, and said in a familiar tone:
"Wow, even though it's a foreign custom, I can still feel the strong sense of ritual."
"'Ambitious', I remember Liyue seems to be your hometown, right? Do you have any special feelings about it?"
"."
"I remember I should have told you,
——If you still want to get some funding for your activities in Liyue and don’t want to sleep next to a trash can, don’t call me that, my dear “Eleventh Seat.”
Pantalone was silent for a moment.
Although he had no hope that this brainless guy would remember what he said, he still warned him.
"Okay, okay, although I came here just to find an opportunity to fight with the strong here, but if there is no funding, it will still be a headache."
"Pantaronne, you are always so cautious, but facing such an unfavorable situation, you didn't just leave. This is not in line with my impression of your style."
"——Could it be that you also intend to go and see the power of the two gods up close like I did?
