Chapter 62 About Zhongli Offering Incense to Himself
Chapter 62 About Zhongli offering incense to himself
Hu Tao obviously has no eyesight. Even though Zhong Li saw something and wanted to pull her away first, the girl insisted on wandering between Shi Lan and Xiang Ling. It was hard to tell whether she did it on purpose.
Xiang Ling's thoughts were a little confused now. She was originally walking with Shi Lan, but now there were two more people.
I looked at the time and saw that at 7:56, at 8 o'clock, the Yujing Terrace will open the ceremony venue for everyone to come in and offer incense.
"They are all foreigners..."
Hutao walked behind Shi Lan, Xiangling was pushed to third place, and Zhongli followed far behind.
"Liyue people rarely come here. After all, adults can see them once a year. Over time, it will become stale..."
After walking a few steps, I couldn't move any further. There was a huge crowd of people ahead, and they spontaneously formed three long lines, from the main ceremony venue to the bottom of the steps.
Both sides of the team were filled with Qianyan Army officers and soldiers, with a distance of about one meter between each person, guarding both sides of the crowd to prevent various things from happening.
"We have to wait until the end of the year..." Hu Tao is short and can't even see the roof of Yujing Terrace in the back. "How about we jump in line? Or Shi Lan, go find Ning Guang? Ask her to send someone to pick us up.
Go up?"
"You want to play with the privilege of offering incense to the emperor..." Shi Lan shook his head: "Emperor Yanwang is the god of contracts, and he pays special attention to 'rules'. He must proceed step by step and use small tricks to offer incense. I guess his old man also
I won’t accept it.”
Zhongli smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with relief.
Hu Tao was very unhappy after being talked about, and kept poking Shi Lan's back with her fingers, making Shi Lan yell and scream.
Although the queue is very long, it will be slow if you have the patience. Xiang Ling and Hu Tao were whispering, and Shi Lan was holding the book "The Art of Speaking" and reading it with gusto.
Zhongli lowered his head in deep thought.
He was thinking about how to get the photo back from Hu Tao, but he just wasn't good at dealing with people like this who had weird brain circuits that didn't behave like normal people.
Shi Lan is like this, and Hu Tao is like this too.
There are four large incense burners in Yujing Terrace, and there are many incense burners next to each incense burner. The incense burner counts three incense sticks, lights them at the candlestick next to them, inserts them into the incense burner, and then makes a wish or blessing.
After Shi Lan and the others waited in line for two hours, the staff told them that the incense offerings had been finished.
In fact, there is a certain amount of incense produced every year. After all, the incense burner only has so much space, and if there are too many, there will be no room to insert them.
It's just that Shi Lan never encountered this kind of thing when he was offering incense in the past few years.
Shi Lan's eyes widened: "Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it!"
The expression of the staff was very embarrassing: "Some foreigners didn't understand the rules and ordered several at once. Some said they were offering a portion to their family members, and some thieves stole the incense without paying attention..."
The expressions of Shi Lan and others are wonderful.
Zhongli folded his arms and opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as a torch, and he was not angry and intimidating. He instantly locked onto a sneaky guy in the crowd.
"Stealing fragrance? Someone steals this thing too?" Shi Lan found it difficult to understand.
This thing is free, why would anyone want this?
"Jingdijun's incense is specially made... Every year, some people take out part of it for resale or collection... We have watched it very carefully, but we can't completely eliminate it..." The staff was full of apologies: "I'm really sorry, but I
Judging from the looks of it, some of them should be locals, and it will be the same if we come next year..."
"It doesn't matter, I have it!"
When Shi Lan frowned, Hu Tao stood up.
He pulled out a wooden box from his sleeve.
The wooden box is rectangular, painted bright black on the outside, and has the representative pattern of the Rebirth Hall printed in the center.
Shi Lan had a strange expression: "What is this?"
Hu Tao said proudly: "I brought it from the Shengsheng Hall, Grandpa doesn't know."
"Will this work?"
Shi Lan always feels bad. The incense in the Hall of Rebirth...respect the emperor?
Hu Tao opened the box, and there were three black incense sticks lying inside. The aroma was fragrant, and the smell was so strong that it even made people panic: "Come on, come on, there are only three sticks in here. You three can each take one, and I won't need it..."
"This..." Holding the black incense in his hand, Zhongli regretted why he didn't go out for a walk earlier today...
He knows some of the uses of this fragrance...
At the same time, in the Hall of Rebirth, Hall Master Lao Hu was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things: "Strange, where did the incense that Lao Zhang prepared for his funeral today go?"
It’s not that Zhongli is taboo about anything here, he just finds it interesting.
I paid tribute to myself. If Barbatos knew about it, he would definitely be teased for a long time...
Zhongli still came to the incense burner, lit the incense for rebirth, and made a wish seriously.
Shi Lan, Xiang Ling and Hu Tao can hear it clearly even if she recites it softly.
"Blessed by the Rock God, may Liyue live forever."
Several children praised one after another: "Mr. Zhongli's wish is still grand..."
Then, the other two people also offered incense and made wishes.
"Well... I hope my father will recover soon, and I hope he can go to the Qun Jade Pavilion soon. And, my lord, if you are looking at me, give me the Eyes of God..."
Zhongli: “…………”
Xiangling closed her eyes and quietly made a small wish.
This wish reached Zhongli's mind. He looked at Oh Xiangling in surprise, then at Shi Lan, and nodded thoughtfully.
Counting this girl, there are three...
I can't tell that this kid is hiding so much.
After offering incense, I can no longer stay at Yujingtai.
More and more people are trying their best to squeeze up, and many Qianyanjun have been pushed to the edge of the guardrail. If they fall from here, they will just fall to the balcony on the second floor of Shengsheng Hall.
As a last resort, Qianyanjun began to evacuate the scene. In order to prevent a stampede accident, people on the periphery were evacuated to Wolhaedong Square.
Together with Zhongli, he escorted the two little girls out, and the four of them stood in front of the Yuehai Pavilion.
Because there are walls and trees blocking the view, the emperor cannot be seen clearly here. Especially since Shi Lan is short, he cannot see anything.
Shi Lan was a little depressed: "I was squeezed out... I'm afraid I won't be able to see it this year."
Xiang Ling comforted her: "It's okay, Shi Lan. There will still be a long time to come, and there will always be opportunities to see it. The emperor is in Liyue and he will not leave..."
"By the way, the emperor's arrival is so grand. In the future, if the emperor dies, will it be even more lively?" Hu Tao said in surprise: "I'm already imagining that kind of scene! There are huge crowds of people, tens of thousands of people seeing off...
Will we, the Goshen Hall, take over this business by then? Maybe by then, we, the Goshen Hall, will be hundreds or even thousands of generations old...hehehehe..."
"Don't talk nonsense, the emperor will live forever."
Shi Lan couldn't help but knock Hu Tao on the head.
The little girl hugged her little head aggrievedly: "I just want to think about it, there are no outsiders..."
During the fight, the door of Yuehai Pavilion suddenly opened, and Gan Yu walked out: "You are here, Shi Lan, and Mr. Zhongli..."
Zhongli nodded politely: "Miss Gan Yu."
"Sister Gan Yu, what's the matter?" Shi Lan asked doubtfully.
"Master Tianquan asked me to find love." Gan Yu smiled slightly, "Everyone, please follow me to the rooftop attic."
The four of them looked at each other and followed Gan Yu leisurely.
Hu Tao was suspicious: "Tianquan...isn't she Ningguang? What is she going to do?"
Shi Lan spread his hands: "I don't know."
Everyone climbed to the top attic.
"What's the matter, sister Gan Yu?" Shi Lan leaned next to Gan Yu and asked in a low voice.
Gan Yu smiled: "Master Tianquan had previously told me that Shi Lan wanted to see the emperor's grace, and I heard that you went to see Master Tianshu. Maybe he felt that his people actually went to seek help from other seven stars, which was a bit cheap, so he let him
I will arrange a good place for you here..."
Shi Lan: "......"
It's incredible that Ningguang actually cares about this...
"Everyone, please rest here first. As soon as noon arrives, Master Tianquan will go up to the sky and call for the emperor to come..."
Gan Yu opened the window and had a clear view of the entire Yujingtai ceremony for inviting immortals...
