Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"By the way, where is the Ape God? Why didn't you see him? Could it be that he was eating secretly in the kitchen?"

Paimon held his little hands and looked at Wu Ye curiously.

Wu Ye smiled softly: "No, he went out to meet an old friend."

"Old friend? It's wrong for a guy like him! A monkey like him actually has old friends!"

"Hmm, maybe you can see his old friend tomorrow."

……

After the awns are planted, the lotus flowers in Liyue Port are already in full bloom, especially on the way to Bubulu.

In the lakes on both sides, the sunlight is soft, lotuses are blooming on the lake surface, blue waves are rippling, lotus trees are standing in the middle of the lake, and flower fairies are wandering.

Today's Bubulu is the same as usual.

Qiqi went out to collect medicines, Agui sorted the medicinal materials, and Baizhu sat at the counter and wrote prescriptions for patients.

And Changsheng, who was called the "Mr. Medicine" by the people of Shenyu Valley hundreds of years ago, was hanging on Baizhu's neck and resting with his eyes closed.

"...immortality?"

Changsheng opened his eyes and looked at the monkey who called her name with a trembling voice.

"you……"

The green light flashed, and the longevity was instantly separated from the white arts and hung on the ape god. She bit him excitedly.

"Dead monkey...you're not dead?!"

The ape god chuckled, a little shy, and said in a low voice, "Long time no see."

Changsheng nodded and said in a gentle voice: "It has indeed been a long time."

Time flies, things have changed and people have changed, but fortunately they are still the same as they were then.

Some people say that old friends are old acquaintances, and the worst thing about reunion is that there will be very few old things to talk about. After a few pleasantries, there will be nothing to say.

But for the ape god and Changsheng, there is no such thing.

Don't ask me, Youyou, after we say goodbye. There are countless things that can't be said.

"Want to go to the theater together?"

"it is good!"

"Go ahead, you can come back later. There should be no seriously ill patients today. Besides, Agui is here, so I won't be walking around."

The last sentence was said by Bai Zhu.

……

"Hutao, this is what you cooked. Why does it look weird?"

Paimon noticed that the dishes on the dining table were all very dark.

"What's weird? Paimon, feel free to eat it, it tastes absolutely amazing."

Hutao put her hands on her hips and then looked at Wu Ye.

"Wu Ye, do you think I'm right?"

Wu Ye rubbed his chin and muttered: "I'll give it a try. If you eat this dish, you can ascend to heaven."

"What did you say?!"

"Aha, I mean you made these dishes ingeniously and full of characteristics... Well, I'll take my chopsticks first to respect you!"

"No, no," Hu Tao stopped Wu Ye, "There is also Grandpa Wu. Let's eat together when everyone is together."

"Come on kids, the food is here, ready to eat!"

Wu Yong brought two plates of dishes he had cooked to the table.

Sora and Paimon looked at each other and understood. They decided to only eat the food cooked by Grandpa Wu.

As a result, an unspeakable scene occurred at the dinner table.

Kong and Paimon only ate the dishes cooked by Wu Yong. Wu Yong frowned after taking a bite of Hutao's dish, and then continued to eat with chopsticks, but his frown deepened.

Wu Ye couldn't bear it and saw him shouting.

"The dishes made by Hutao can only be eaten by me!"

He picked up the dark dishes, then picked them up and poured them all into his mouth.

Regarding Wu Ye's actions, Kong and Paimon silently gave a thumbs up, and Wu Yong also secretly nodded.

Hu Tao felt a little guilty: "I'd better not cook in the future."

"It's okay, the taste is okay," Wu Ye wiped his mouth covered in black ash and said with relief, "It's just that I added too much dark soy sauce and salt. Just control the amount next time."

"real?"

"Yeah! I won't lie to you."

"Hey, Wu Ye, you are so kind."

Seeing Wu Ye and Hu Tao getting tired, Kong and Paimon suddenly felt that the food in front of them no longer tasted good.

Wu Yong stroked his white beard and smiled happily. He felt that he was one step closer to holding his great-grandson.

……

After watching an unfinished play at the Heyu Teahouse, the Monkey God and Changsheng wandered around the streets and markets until the moon and stars became scarce.

On the way back to Bubulu, the ape god told the longevity hanging on him about his experience after waking up from Shibo.

"So, Wu Ye is your destined person, and he happened to wake you up by passing by."

"Jie Jie Jie! That's right."

Chang Sheng said in a contemptuous tone: "You have such an evil smile. Who did you learn it from? But you can actually speak human language, which is not bad."

"Quack! It's all because of Wu Ye, so he is my eldest brother now. You have to call him eldest brother in the future, or I will beat you up!"

Talking about Wu Ye, the ape god seemed proud, and then he became sad again.

Changsheng said calmly: "I'm fine, don't act like I'm dead and ruin my mood."

"Then... what did you go through after I was sealed?"

"...Well, it's a long story."

Five hundred years ago, monsters from the abyss invaded Shenyu Valley. Under the resistance of the immortals, all the monsters were eliminated at the cost of serious injuries to several immortals.

However, the material left behind after the death of the monster polluted the earth's veins and soaked into the water, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people living on the ground within a few years.

According to word of mouth, there was a disease that poisoned all living beings at that time, and a medicine man made a great wish to eradicate the suffering in the world.

But even if ordinary people have benevolence and wonderful skills, they can't resist the ravages of natural disasters. After practicing medicine for several years, even the people closest to him fell ill one after another and were about to say goodbye to the pharmacist.

Legend has it that deep in the mountains of Chenyu Valley lives a medicine king who can cure all diseases.

The medicine man worshiped the mountain alone, but only found a white snake in the mountain that had exhausted its strength and had a weak breath.

"Sign the contract and live with me."

"I can teach you the secret method of saving people."

"But don't forget - this will eventually harm you."

White Snake said.

Later, the pharmacist used methods beyond ordinary people to reverse life and death and summon miracles, but parting still came unexpectedly.

It’s just that the person who has passed away has become a medicine man who has exhausted his vitality.

Finally, the medicine man passed the contract to his last patient, his favorite disciple.

The disciple decided to use this life to save more lives - this is true for generations.

"My secret technique 'Er Snake Dragging Dragon Technique' can inject the contractor's own vitality into the patient's body, and can also transfer the toxins and diseases in the patient's body to myself."

"...The inheritance contract also has requirements for one's character. Those who have made contracts in the past generations all have pure minds."

"Including my current contractor, Bai Shu's master, all of my previous contractors died short-lived."

Listening to Chang Sheng's words, the ape god was stunned and silent for a long time.

He finally said: "What will happen to you if the contract ends?"

"……Hahaha."

Chang Sheng’s laughter was gentle and wrapped around the ape god’s arm.

"I had thought about it before and was afraid that something like this would happen."

"But I won't do it now. At least today I fulfilled my wish - to watch another play with you."

"If the contract really stops in the future, then I will take advantage of the short time to go to Yaojun Mountain to have a good sleep, and then meet my old friends, the pharmacists of the past."

Chang Sheng looked at the ape god who had no expression on his face with a silly smile.

"Of course, I hope it will be you who will take me back to Yaojun Mountain."
