Chapter 220: Preparations for the Immortal Presentation Ceremony
Under the huge fan-shaped plaque of Liuli Pavilion, Ying and Paimeng, who had just dusted themselves off, saw Dadalia coming down from the second floor of Liuli Pavilion from a distance.
"Hey, good morning, you came on time."
Dadalia saw the two of them and greeted them warmly.
"Sir! We have already invited the immortals. What do you mean by helping us clear our grievances?"
Paimon pouted and floated in the air, not feeling the embarrassment of having just robbed the Northland Bank and now facing the real owner.
"I never break my promise... Come with me, I've prepared a meeting ceremony called a meal bureau in this country.
"Dinner?!"
Paimeng touched his shriveled belly. She and Ying just rushed back from Wangshu Inn, and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
The corners of Dadalia's mouth curved, and she led the two of them into the Liuliting Hotel with a playful smile. After turning the corner, they walked directly into the reserved box. The aroma of the food reached her nose. She opened the door and Paimon took the first place.
What he saw was Zhongli drinking tea from a cup, and the meal in the middle of the meal.
In Paimon's eyes, the man sitting at the table had long black hair, a handsome white face, and a pair of orange eyes that glowed like amber, which was the same as the condensed light they saw on the Yujing Platform.
Similarly, the man also has light red eye shadow, which gives him a strange and evil look.
Sitting in the chair, he holds the teacup elegantly, wearing a slim rock gown and dark-colored gold-embellished gloves, exuding a noble temperament.
This is the first time I have seen a man with more temperament than Mr. Diluc.
"What a handsome Liyue man!"
Suddenly, a certain noisy emergency food person spoke up. She clenched her fist and lightly touched Paimon's arm to tell her to pay attention to her image. Dadalia opened the seat for her and answered with a smile: "Outlander.
Do you also think Mr. Zhongli is handsome?"
"Is this... the person you said can help us clear our grievances?"
Paimon grabbed his chin, flew to Zhongli's side, looked him up and down several times, then stuck out his tongue and smiled cutely, "Hey, my name is Paimon, she is Ying, we
I came to Liyue..."
"Coming to travel."
Ying stood up, covered Paimon's mouth, and dragged him back from Zhongli's head.
Paimon, don't tell everyone about your purpose.
"Introduce."
Dadalia promptly brought the conversation to the right track: "This is Zhongli, a Taoist, a guest at the Rebirth Hall. The Fools have business dealings with the Rebirth Hall, so we know each other."
"A person on the road?"
I didn’t understand.
"In Liyue, properties like Shengshengtang will sometimes encounter some business on the road. They are responsible for solving these problems. Of course, they are similar to us fools."
"And we fools have always liked to deal with these... friends who walk in the shadows."
Dadalia explained Zhongli's identity to Ying with a smile, but the words seemed not so rigorous, causing Huanxiang Paimeng to nervously pull on Ying's clothes.
"Walking in the shadows?"
Just as Paimon was about to ask a question, Zhongli nodded to the two of them. The scene of Dadalia being thrown on his bed by Famas suddenly appeared in his mind: "Boy, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard about your talk in Mondstadt.
Rumor."
"Taoist people...shadows...send people to death...Wow! Could it be that the organization of the Rebirth Hall is..."
Paimon opened his eyes wide and hid behind Ying's shoulder, revealing his small head, staring fearfully at Zhongli who was moving gracefully.
I originally thought that Zhongli was a powerful figure, but it turned out that he was a killer similar to the Fools.
"Just as you guessed."
Zhongli nodded, making Paimon more sure of his guess.
"The Death Hall is an organization in charge of funerals, aiming to send people to a peaceful death."
As if he felt something was wrong with Paimon's attitude, Zhongli put down the tea cup and explained it to the two of them again.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Paimeng showed a puzzled expression, causing the young master to laugh.
"Haha, did you mistake Mr. Zhongli for the killer?"
"There are indeed many killers among the friends of the Fools, but this is not what the Purity Hall is in... at least not on the surface."
Zhongli is a very talkative person. He knows almost everything from astronomy and geography to the customs of Liyue. After a meal, the atmosphere between the few of them is quite harmonious.
The Rebirth Hall is an organization in charge of funerals. To put it bluntly, it is to send people to a peaceful death.
Paimon thought it was some kind of killer organization, so he was so frightened that he grabbed the skewers on the table and took several bites.
"That's true...but it sounds scary."
Paimon devoured the food on the table, making Ying curse all the time.
The food at Liuliting is not cheap to begin with, and now that I don’t know who is paying for the meal, Paimon eats it without hesitation.
"Anyway, I brought you to meet Zhongli because..."
Dadalia played with the tea cup in his hand boredly and crossed his legs on the armrest of the chair. Halfway through his words, he looked at Zhongli.
"Because I have a way to let you see the immortal body of the Rock King."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dadalia's expression and Zhongli began to answer.
"What?!"
Paimeng was shocked when he heard Zhongli said that he could let them see the immortal body. The emperor's body should have been well hidden by the people of Qixing, right?
"Don't be surprised. Although under the control of Tianquan Star Ningguang, the immortal body of the Rock God has been hidden for a long time...but...well, let's listen to Zhongli's statement first."
Dadalia propped herself up on the dining table, struggling to use her chopsticks to pick up the food in the bowl, and accidentally spilled a few grains of rice.
"Although Emperor Yanwang is the ancestor of all immortals, he is also one of the immortals in the final analysis. Throughout Liyue's thousands of years of history, immortals have left one after another. This is an irreversible trend, because times have changed.
Yunjian should have also experienced this change."
During the dinner, Zhongli elaborated on the matters related to Emperor Yan. In Liyue, which has a history of thousands of years, immortals have left one after another. This is an irreversible trend, so there is a certain generation gap between humans and gods or immortals. In today's era, immortals are also leaving.
It is difficult to interfere in human affairs.
Of course, as long as it is not a disaster, the immortals do not need to worry, but human beings are also facing tests.
In the past, people could not fight against powerful enemies. Now, the Liyue Seven Stars and the Qianyan Army have formed a whole over thousands of years. They are no longer as cowardly as before, and they are even capable of dealing with various sudden disasters.<
/p>
The female bird will eventually leave her mother and learn to fly alone, and Liyue is heading towards an era where she can stand alone without the blessing of God.
"As you can see, the era of immortals is passing away, and the era of humans is gradually becoming a reality. In previous years, when every immortal left, there would be a grand ceremony to send the immortals off. This is Liyue's tradition." p>
"But this time even Qixing didn't have time to take care of this tradition...it's really outrageous."
Zhongli sighed deeply.
Everything is going according to his plan, but with the addition of Famas, Wendy, and many other unstable factors, Zhongli is also worried about whether his plan is thorough.
