Yujingtai has been filled with a tense atmosphere recently, or the whole of Liyue is like this.
This is the highest place in Liyue Port, and it is also the venue for the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony. The large square only has eight black flags and a copper stove, the canals are filled with lotus flowers, and the jade square is full of cloud patterns. p>
Normally, only some pilgrims come here, taking out incense sticks from bags covered with travel dust and lighting candles.
The slender smoke surges and stabilizes, curling up with no end, and the sound of copper bells makes the sky clearer and farther away. Then they will put their palms together and mutter words in their mouths, praying to Lord Yan to listen to their small wishes.
However, due to martial law, the place for worshiping immortals on Yujingtai is no longer open to pilgrims.
After changing clothes, Ying walked out of the hotel, hurried back to Wanmin Hall to apologize to Master Mao, then returned Xiangling's clothes, and immediately took Paimeng with her to the bustling Feiyun Slope to find the Qunyu Pavilion joint that Keqing mentioned.
People.
But when they arrived at Yuehai Pavilion, they didn't see Famas buying the gift box.
Thinking that the boy hadn't chosen the gift box he needed, the two girls waited there for a while and then walked onto the winding corridor beside the pond in Yujingtai Garden. The cedar floor creaked, the breeze ruffled the lake surface, and the koi fish
Suddenly appeared in the water, the fish tail splashed with water.
It is early spring at this time, and the sun is shining warmly on the edge of the garden. You can see that the flower beds are full of translucent and petite glazed lilies.
Ying and Paimon just sat boredly by the pavilion, waiting for Famas to come over.
"Why don't you come back, you stinking security guard?"
Seeing that he had been waiting for half an hour, Paimon puffed up his cheeks angrily, flew to the flower bed and picked out a glass lily that was blooming best, and tugged at the petals complainingly.
"Come back quickly, don't come back, come back quickly, don't come back..."
Ying helplessly held her forehead and pulled Paimon's sleeve.
She could see the kindly smiling Grandma Ping next to the stall. Every time Paimon pulled off a petal, the old man's brow would frown unnoticeably.
Grandma Ping seems to like glazed lilies very much, and she often enjoys them by the flower bed and waters them.
"Ying, why are you pulling me!"
Paimeng raised his head naively and met Grandma Ping's kind smile by the flower bed.
"Ah! Good afternoon, Grandma Ping!"
After reacting, Paimon hurriedly hid the broken flower behind his back and used his other hand to greet the old man who was watching here.
As one of the immortals with three eyes and five manifestations, Grandma Ping would not be angry because someone was picking glazed lilies, because she was too far away, so she just kindly clasped her hands behind her back and stared at the panicked Paimon with squinted eyes.
"Ying... let's go back to Yuehai Pavilion first."
Paimon felt that the usually kind Grandma Ping was particularly scary today, so he hurriedly pulled the traveler through the garden and returned to Yuehai Pavilion to wait.
As the meeting place of the Seven Stars in the future, Liyue's hub will naturally not be left unattended. After the emperor was killed, Yuehai Pavilion's defense force has more than doubled. As long as you come to the door, you will see the moon and sea phase.
Under the entangled dark gold pattern, the guarding Qianyan Army.
Considering that they were still semi-wanted criminals, Ying and Paimon avoided the patrolling Qianyan Army and carefully waited under the rockery outside Yuehai Pavilion.
Finally, Famas arrived belatedly from the foot of Tianheng Mountain, holding a small brown-red wooden box in his hand.
"Huh? They haven't arrived yet?"
Famas stood at the door of Yuehai Pavilion and looked around while holding the gift box containing the cake.
He thought he was late. Ying and Paimon had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't expect that they hadn't arrived yet.
Famas checked the wooden box with simple patterns carved in his hand, confirmed that the words referring to Munata had been hidden, and then walked to the rockery of Yuehai Pavilion, trying to find a place to sit for a while.
"Don't make a sound!"
A slender arm suddenly stretched out from the shadow of the rockery and pulled Famasi, who was humming a tune, over.
The unsuspecting boy in red was staggered and almost took the gift box out of his hands. Just when he wanted to teach the person who pulled him a lesson, a familiar fragrance came from the tip of his nose.
"Ying, Paimon?"
"Why are you hiding behind the rockery?"
Famas tilted his head strangely and looked at the sneaky two people.
"Did you go to the roof again to dig out bird eggs and the owner of the house caught you?"
The young man in red remembered that after Ying came to this port city, he did a lot of things that were very confusing to the locals in Liyue.
For example, after walking into the Heyu Teahouse, I did not listen to books or drink tea, but happily took away the story books placed on the table for free reading, which were euphemistically called collection tasks of the Adventurers Association.
There are also all kinds of things like rummaging through boxes and cabinets, building beams and stepping on tiles. If the Qianyan Army hadn't been busy hunting down the assassins who murdered the emperor, they wouldn't have had time to deal with these trivial matters...
Wait, the suspected assassins are also Ying, Paimon and Famas?
If calculated this way, Famas is also guilty of molesting Qixing Secretary Gan Yu, setting off fireworks illegally, and robbing Ningguang of the Earthly Lock...
If several crimes are punished simultaneously, let’s just die.
"No! We are going to meet the distinguished guests of Tianquan Ningguang, so we will not do that kind of thing!"
Paimeng put his hands on his hips confidently, then lowered his voice and pointed at the Qianyan Army patrolling outside Yuehai Pavilion: "It's just... aren't we still wanted by the Qianyan Army? There are so many guards here..." Paimon also saw the huge floating stone, flew to Buyun's side furtively, and whispered the code that Keqing taught them.
"Yes, how many do you want?"
Looking at little Paimon who looked like a spy, Buyun's beard trembled, and he smiled and nodded in response.
"It is not convenient to disclose the quantity."
Paimon still answered according to the code given by Keqing.
"Good answer, please come to the throne here."
Buyun bowed respectfully and asked calmly: "By the way, are you two the guests arranged by Master Ningguang today?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing Buyun's question, Paimeng immediately crossed his arms and responded proudly.
There are not many people who can receive Ningguang's invitation, and they are basically the wealthy businessmen of Liyue.
However, the two of them did not present the invitation letter as guests, but used the secret code "Yuheng Charter".
There were some doubts in Buyun's mind, but he still maintained good etiquette and raised his hand to signal the two women to board the floating stone.
"Your Excellency Famas, you can take a rest in the side hall and leave together after the two of you have finished discussing with Lord Ningguang."
Hearing this, Ying and Paimon simultaneously turned their heads to look at the boy in red with his arms crossed.
"See you at Ogihua Island."
"I also have something I need to ask Zhongli for advice first."
Famas handed the gift box containing the cake to Paimon, waved to the two of them, and watched them step onto the green floating stone.
"Then it's agreed, Dihuazhou, see you there or not!"
Paimon lay on Ying's shoulder and waved vigorously towards Famas.
The floating stone slowly rose, and not long after, Ying and Paimon stepped on the floating stone and flew up to the magnificent Jade Pavilion.
