Genshin Impact: We have to find a way to abduct people.

"Then, just like you who like to try everything at your age. Someone had a sudden idea to put gunpowder in a bamboo tube and set it off, and found that the sound it made was actually louder than the original. So, the ancient custom of burning bamboo began. That’s when fundamental changes began to happen.”

Thinking of this, Yao couldn't help but press his eyebrows. His children's creativity in eating, drinking and playing is simply rich and outrageous.

It's talent.

But this is all official, and it is also the history that these old guys often tell future generations.

There is another version that is a bit more metaphysical, but it is not considered fake history.

The "Shen Yi Sutra" says: In ancient times, when people passed through the mountains and slept outdoors, they had to light a bonfire at night, firstly to cook and keep warm, and secondly to prevent wild beasts from attacking. However, there is an animal in the mountains that is neither afraid of people nor fire, and often steals food when people are not prepared. Therefore, in order to deal with this kind of animal, people thought of setting off firecrackers in the fire and using the popping sound of bamboo to make it escape.

Don't tell me, there really is this mountain monster.

The mountain monster is called Shanxi, also known as mandrill, mountain zodiac, etc. He has a human face and a monkey body. He is not tall and is not afraid of people, but he only has one leg. He can speak human language and especially likes to eat shrimps and crabs.

After catching shrimps and crabs, this guy would often take the shrimps and crabs to roast them next to a bonfire lit by people in the dark of night while people were staying in tents, and would steal salt to eat with them.

Children in the past said that if you encounter this mountain monster unfortunately, you will get cold and fever. Only by lighting a bamboo bonfire to scare away the mountain smell, that is, to drive away the plague, can you get good luck and peace.

In fact, Yao knew that Shanxi was just living a more refined life, and it was not caused by cold and fever. We passed through the mountains and slept in the open. It was already colder at night, and there was no one around, so I was overly frightened.

It was the age of feudal superstition, and his children had always been fragile...

But if you insist on saying that there is a relationship, then it still has a relationship. After all, there are differences between immortals and mortals, as well as humans and monsters. Being too close to demons will make people more likely to get sick, and it may even lead to nightmares.

Therefore, when Yao came to catch the culprit and question it, Shanxi was hunched over in the river with a crab in his hand, and the whole monster was dumbfounded.

Yao boasts that he is not such an unreasonable person, and he kindly makes a suggestion: Why don't both parties take a step back? Recently, the lives of his children are not that rich, and there is not so much shrimp, crab and salt. From now on, we agree that as long as the children set off firecrackers, you can't get close to them. If they don't, you can improve your life as you please.

Shanxi tilted his head and turned around, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint it. But at the same time, I also know in my heart that if I don’t have sufficient reasons to refute and convince the “man in charge” in front of me. If it directly resists without saying anything, the other party is fully capable of beating it until it obeys the arrangement.

Anyway, inexplicably, after it obeyed the rules, the human's behavior of setting off firecrackers skyrocketed. The number of times it improves lives is off a cliff.

Shan Xi still doesn't understand, as Yao said, when his children will become rich...

Arrive at the fireworks stall at the port.

Strings of lanterns have been hung at the entrances of several shops, and near the seaside, there are many people gathered around a huge stand with Mingxiao lanterns, and a lotus base can be vaguely seen.

There are bridge arches one after another on the street, and the tops are connected with each other with light wires. The staff are stepping on ladders to hang small round red lanterns.

"Hmm... we need to add a few more places to arrange fireworks. The vision must be comprehensive and cannot be limited to the city. Don't the people of Qingcezhuang just celebrate the Hailantern Festival?" Keqing frowned and looked at the work in her hands. Document, not very satisfied.

Fireworks master Pengyi scratched his head: "But, but sir, in this case, the budget will be..."

"What is a budget? It is the most appropriate amount to handle something well. If you think the current budget is not enough to handle the matter well, please submit an application to the General Affairs Department for recalculation and approval." Keqing raised her hand to stop the other party's words. The tone is decisive and matter-of-fact. He immediately made a decision: "Our goal is to successfully host this Hai Lantern Festival, and the budget is for better planning. We cannot put the cart before the horse."

Pengyi was enlightened: "Yes, I understand, Master Keqing."

"Yes. Safety first, make sure to ensure it." While checking other things, he suddenly heard footsteps. Keqing turned around and found a few familiar people: "Ningguang, Wutong, Paimon and Kong. It's rare to see you. Come here. The preparations for the Lantern Festival should be completed soon. This is..."

"This is Mr. Yao, the glorious Yao. My elder, he came to stay with me for a few days during the recent Hai Lantern Festival." Not many people knew that Wutong was not a native of Teyvat, and Mondstadt did not make it public. As for other details, she would just say that Mr. Yao was an old acquaintance of Mr. Zhongli, and it was just because they had a meal together.

Leave everything to the omniscient and omnipotent Mr. Zhongli!

Paimon looked at the stack of papers in Keqing's hand: "What is Keqing busy with?"

"Replicate the fireworks arrangement and check the related facilities. It is a small daily task."

Ning Guang sighed silently: "With all due respect, it's okay to leave this kind of work to your subordinates. You've been working continuously for several days, it's time to rest."

Keqing didn't take it seriously: "It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter."

Then he turned to Pengyi, who was still counting, and said, "Pengyi, could you please make a new plan and summarize it into a written report and submit it to the General Affairs Department."

Then he rolled up a stack of paper in his hand into a tube, changed his pace and looked at the travelers: "I'm going to the city to check out the fireworks display, and I'll come back later. As distinguished guests, it's the festival, so I'll come back. Please stay in the city and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Then, I will take my leave first."

Watching Yu Hengxing leave in a hurry, Pengyi also had a mission and did not dare to delay: "Master Ningguang, there are a few... distinguished guests, I won't disturb you for now. Master Keqing told me There are so many plans, I have to write a new plan... hurry up, hurry up."

"Ah, yes! I almost forgot..." He lowered his head and walked halfway when he saw the fireworks on the roadside. He suddenly remembered that Pengyi turned back and handed the things to Kong and Wutong: "You two, there is a fireworks tube here. Lord Keqing mentioned before that you might be interested, so I asked me to keep it and give it to you two when I see you. People with hands-on skills can use this to make their own fireworks. If you If you have time, please try it!”

Then he quickly left again. After a while, no one could be seen at all.

Paimon blinked: "I couldn't get a word in at all just now... No, it should be said that I didn't dare to get in a word at all! It's so strong, I feel stronger than before! And Keqing looks busier than before. ...why?"
