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

After smashing the eighth Shibo along the mountain road, Kong finally rescued Li Dang.

The two brothers Li Ding and Li Dang reunited, and then they expressed their gratitude to Kong and Paimon.

Sora's expression was calm.

"Okay, this is your first offender. I will forgive you this time. From now on..."

"Immortal envoy, we don't dare anymore, there is absolutely no future! We will go down the mountain now, thank you Immortal envoy!"

"Thank you, angel..."

......

After the two brothers left, Paimon clapped his little palms and said to the sky, "Wow... you really got into the act, and you have quite the aura of an immortal."

"It would be great if we were really immortal envoys... I always feel that the immortals here have a bad temper."

Kong stretched his body slightly and said with a smile: "It's normal. If there are outsiders sneaking around in front of my house and trying to do bad things, I will also be angry."

Paimon nodded: "Yeah, but we didn't do anything bad, so it shouldn't be..."

"You disturb the mountain gate without authorization, and you release the thieves who have been admonished without permission."

A cold voice came down from the top of the mountain, echoing in the ears of Kong and Paimon.

"Ah! Is it the immortal who is talking? Traveler, what should we do?" Paimon quickly grabbed Sora's hand.

"Ignorant people, why don't you come quickly to receive the warning!"

"Paimon is fine. The other party shouldn't make things too difficult for us. Let's go." Sora said softly, and then walked straight to the top of the mountain.

Paimon followed Sora's footsteps closely.

"Not only did he break into Hulao Mountain and destroy the amber on the mountain, he also let the thieves who were being punished without authorization."

"It's true that these thieves don't know the power of immortality, but you are also extremely rude."

A black-gold crane stood high on the top of the mountain, standing tall and straight, looking down at Sora and Paimon with sharp eyes.

Paimon immediately hid behind Sora, not daring to look at the crane: "Oh! We, we have a reason!"

Kong took out the Bai Wu Tao Rui: "Please look at this... Did it come to us from the True Monarch of Cutting the Moon and Building the Yang, or did the Great Sage of Conquering Demons send it here."

......

On the other side, in the cave at Jueyunding.

"Liu Yun, it's rare that we all get together today, why don't you cook some dishes." Zhong Li said.

Liu Yun looked troubled: "Emperor, my "magic cooking machine" hasn't been finished yet..."

Zhongli looked at Xieyue.

Xieyue smiled bitterly: "Master, I can't do it either."

Zhongli finally looked at Mandrill.

Mandrill did not answer immediately, but walked out of the cave, and then returned to the cave after xinxinxin three times.

He was holding a pile of snow in his hand: "I dug it from the Longji Snow Mountain. Does the Emperor want to eat it?"

......

"What did you say?! The emperor... was assassinated?"

"Still at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?!"

Li Shui's originally calm voice became trembling, his eyes lost their light, and he muttered to himself.

"Liyue... in the mortal world... who dares to do this! No! How much power is there in this world that can assassinate the emperor?"

Rishui suddenly questioned, and then tried his best to squeeze out tears.

"We, the immortals, obey the emperor's order and protect Liyue. Due to the prosperity of the human world, we gradually retreated to the mountains and fields. This is a good intention for the mortals."

"But now the emperor...the emperor...sigh..."

Li Shui sighed, and after a long time, he looked at Sora and Paimon.

"I will set off to find Zhenyuezhuyang Zhenjun. I will send you to Aozang Mountain first."

Rishui cast his magic, and a huge golden jade emerged out of thin air at Sora's feet. Then the jade took Sora and Paimon and flew to Mount Aozang.

"You two, come out. I'll give you this piece of gold and jade as a reward."

After hearing this, the two brothers Li and Ding came out. With tears in their eyes, they knelt down and worshiped the crane.

"Thank you, Immortal, thank you Immortal! If our family hadn't been too poor to expose the blame, we wouldn't have dared to come to the mountain to offend."

"Okay, this time I need your help so I will be lenient. Next time..."

......

"The sun is going down soon. Travelers, let's hurry up. I don't want to spend the night in the mountains. It gets cold at night."

"it is good."

After Sora jumped from the jade stone, the jade stone disappeared automatically.

Sora and Paimon quickly arrived at the top of Mount Ozura, and then noticed a lake, and they walked towards the lake.

Paimon pointed not far away: "Huh? Why is there a stone table over there? Let's go and take a look."

Sora walked over and took a look, and found that there were many tableware and wine bottles on the stone table.

Paimon's sharp eyes noticed that there were words engraved on the stone chair next to him.

"Traveler, look at these three chairs with the words 'Here to stay as a cloud', 'Here to sit and die', and 'Here to borrow the emperor'."

"The Emperor should refer to the Emperor of the Rock King. After all... I wonder who it is?"

Kong rubbed his chin: "This should be the place where Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng gathers with other immortals."

"Hey, if that's the case, then if we make some delicacies that immortals like to eat, can we attract the attention of Zhenjun Liuyun Jiufeng?"

Paimon chuckled, then looked around and found traces of people who came here to make offerings.

"It seems like someone is cooking on the other side of the lake. Let's take a look."

Sora and Paimon found three places where cooking was done. The strange thing was that these places all left notes or recipes about cooking, and the amount of food required was for five people.

They didn't think much about it, and based on this information, they made three dishes, namely Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, Mora Pork, and Matsutake-Stuffed Meat Rolls.

When they served these dishes on the stone table, a clear voice sounded.

"Hmm...it's the aura of 'No Taboo'."

......

"I will personally verify what you said. I believe it is for this reason that True Monarch Cutting Moon and Building Yang invited me to wait."

"Okay, please leave quickly and don't bother me again."

After Kong and Paimon went down the mountain, Zhongli and others appeared at the stone table.

"Master, do we want to have a feast on the stone table?"

Zhongli glanced at the stone chair with "Endgame" engraved on it, and then silently walked into the cave.

The immortals understood what he meant.

"Zie Yue, tell me that since your death... the emperor has only been drinking on the stone table."

"That's right! Didn't you see that we didn't say anything? We just don't want the emperor to recall such past events."

Faced with Liu Yun and Lishui's words, Xi Yue apologized.

"...It's because I'm not thinking clearly."

......

Twilight falls.

Shen He looked into the distance and said in a hesitant tone: "Wu Ye, do we really want to do this?"

"Well, there is only one mountain between this place and Liyue Port... My current strength is still too weak, so I may not be able to help. I can only rely on you and the Ape God."

"Oh yes, I also grabbed Gan Yu, she will be here later."

Wu Ye looked at the dock of Liyue Port. Although there were many fewer ships than before, there were still many workers working hard day and night to unload, stack and transport goods.

Especially the residential houses built at the port, with thousands of lights and longing figures.

"It can be delayed for a while. At least it will give the people of Liyue Port more time to escape."

“Besides, I don’t want the instrument used for testing to die too quickly.
