Chapter 263 Come with me to invite the immortal ceremony
Returning to the Hall of Purity, Jiang Bai took Hu Tao and walked around Zhongli's yard.
He wanted to see if Zhongli was there on such a crucial day as the day before the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.
If not, there is an 80% chance that something is going on.
Just as he expected, Zhongli was not in the courtyard.
"Strange, where has Mr. Zhongli gone?" Jiang Bai murmured pretending to be curious.
Hu Tao shrugged, "There are so many places he can go, and I, as the hall leader, can't even control them."
Jiang Bai suggested: "Master, please see if Mr. Zhongli is there when you go out tomorrow morning. If he is, we will ask him to come with us to invite the immortal ceremony..."
"OK……"
Zhongli was currently on the roof of Wangshu Inn, and Mandrill stood beside him with his head slightly lowered.
They looked at Liyue Port from a distance, but they could not see anything because of the mountains.
"Emperor...do you really want this?" Mandrill looked up at him.
Although he had already anticipated the arrival of this day in his previous meeting with the emperor.
But I didn't expect this day to come so early.
"I've made up my mind."
Zhongli looked at the starry sky, looked at the birds in the sky, and sighed:
"Liyue has a history of 3,700 years. I have led her through such a long time. It is time for her to transform from the age of gods to the age of humans..."
"But, can they really do it well?" Mandrill was still very worried.
The emperor has led them through so many years, can the people of Liyue really live without the emperor?
Zhong Li chuckled, "We'll see if they can give me a satisfactory answer when faced with the crisis of my death..."
He is still very optimistic about this year's Seven Stars.
Whether it is Ke Qing who strives for change or Ning Guang who has climbed up from the bottom, they are both outstanding leaders who are chosen from a million.
"What about the other immortals? Did the emperor tell them the news?"
Zhongli shook his head slowly, "How to deal with the relationship between humans and immortals is also a test I left behind."
The reason why he said this to Mandrill alone was because he was afraid that the impulsive child would shoot Yuehai Pavilion one by one after hearing the news of his death.
Zhong Li looked at him who lowered his head slightly and said slowly: "The contract you signed with me can be over."
Mandrill didn't speak, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Protecting Liyue for thousands of years has become an instinct for him, and he can suddenly be relieved of this heavy burden.
But fighting has become his instinct for thousands of years. There is no need for him to fight anymore, so what should he do?
Zhongli knew that he was confused, but he could only figure out this kind of thing by himself, and he couldn't help much.
…
The skylight pierced the ground, and the light gradually enveloped Liyue, awakening the sleeping Liyue Port.
Today is another day for the annual ceremony to invite immortals, but it has nothing to do with most people.
The wharf was already noisy before dawn. Qianyan troops armed with long guns were constantly patrolling, busy workers were carrying goods, and sailors preparing for voyages were inspecting the ships.
Ships come and go, bringing wealth from all over the world to this port.
The richest woman in Liyue Port is preparing for the most important event of the year.
At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and she is already sitting in front of the dressing table, applying solemn and beautiful makeup with her own hands.
She carefully selected among the many hairpins, and finally selected her favorite golden phoenix and glazed hairpin to tie in her hair.
Applying lipstick and putting on her nails, she slowly put on the costume specially made for the ceremony of inviting immortals.
After doing all this, she walked out of the house, stood on the platform of Qunyu Pavilion, and looked at the direction of the rising sun in the distance.
The horizon gradually turned golden, and the clouds on the horizon were also dyed with a layer of gold.
The golden morning sun cast a layer of golden light on her standing on the high jade pavilion, making her look particularly noble and gorgeous.
There wasn't much expression on her face, and all the emotions were suppressed in her heart.
She stood there and watched for a long time, until the sun completely emerged from the horizon and slowly rose into the sky.
Finally, she turned around and left here, going to Yujingtai to do what she should do.
…
The sun shone on Jiang Bai's face through the glass next to the window. Jiang Bai's eyelids trembled and opened.
When he thought about today's day, he had no intention of sleeping in, so he opened the quilt and crawled out of bed.
After washing up quickly, he walked into Hutao's yard with ease and knocked on Hutao's door.
"Master, wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!"
Hutao walked out of the backyard with a cup and toothbrush, "I got up early, and I still yelled at you."
"Hehehe, I'm not afraid that you will forget, Master."
While Hu Tao was washing, Jiang Bai sat on the swing and wiped his sword.
Although you don’t know what will happen, it’s good to be prepared.
"Let's go!"
After Hutao washed up, put on her usual clothes, she and Jiang Bai ordered a few buns in the kitchen, and then walked to Zhongli's door.
Without knocking, she pushed the door open and walked in.
"Master, get up!"
Zhongli was playing with the birds, and when he heard this, he turned to look at her.
"Why is the hall master here?"
Hu Tao chuckled, stepped forward to hold one of his arms, and motioned with her eyes to Jiang Bai to take the other, and hold Zhongli up.
"Oh, today is the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. I have a hunch that the fools may cause trouble at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Old man, you can go and see it with us."
Zhongli, who was being held by the two men, thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"That's fine."
Jiang Bai was a little surprised that he agreed to this matter.
He still remembered how he tried to persuade Zhongli last year, but Zhongli just found it boring and refused to go.
I actually agreed so happily this year.
There must be something fishy!
During today's invitation ceremony, he had to keep a close eye on Zhongli and not let go of any of his moves.
Hutao was very excited and gave a bun to Zhongli.
"Then you pack up and set off with us. We have two friends who have come from afar and are going with us."
The three of them arrived at the agreed upon location on time, where Sora and Paimon were already waiting.
Because today is such an important day, they also got up very early.
Seeing Kong, Zhongli's eyes moved and then fell on Paimon.
As if it was the first time he saw the two of them, he asked curiously:
"Who are these two?"
"Let me introduce to you. This is Zhongli, our guest at the Rebirth Hall. These two are Kong, the traveler from afar, and his traveling companion Paimeng!"
Zhongli stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kong briefly.
"Nice to meet you."
"Me too, nice to meet you."
The two's hands loosened as soon as they touched.
Hu Tao looked at the two of them, "Have you had breakfast? If so, we will set off directly."
"Eat, eat, let's go quickly, I can't wait!" Pamon rubbed his hands and stamped his feet in the air.
