Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

The alchemist lineage in Liyue and the Wangsheng Hall are colleagues, and their ancestors also have some friendship.

Sometimes when encountering troubles, both parties will lend a hand to each other, so even if there is some overlap in business, the relationship between the two sides is actually not bad.

For example, in the current lineage, Hu Tao from the Wangsheng Hall and Chong Yun from the alchemist lineage are good friends.

After moving the two frightened treasure-stealing gang members aside, the three of them sat down around the fire.

Hu Tao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Taoist priest was standing in the circle he had drawn using the secret method of the Wangsheng Hall without being hurt.

It seems that the person in front of me is a real person, but the identity of this alchemist still needs to be confirmed.

Hu Tao took the skewers of meat grilled by Lu Changsheng, heated them on the fire, and then enthusiastically handed them to the ragged alchemist.

The alchemist didn't hesitate and put it into his mouth immediately.

"Smells, it smells so good!"

"It's not easy to have a hot meal while keeping an eye on so many zombies along the way!"

"I was just wondering who would be so bored to come to this ghost place like Wuwangpo to have a barbecue in the middle of the night. I thought that such a bold person must be a demon or a colleague, so I came here with a flattering face to get a free meal."

As he spoke, he kept eating the barbecue skewers. Lu Changsheng had just handed over a few skewers, and the next second only the wooden sticks were left.

The Taoist priest opened the cloth bag around his waist, took out a wine gourd and took a sip. He then said to Hu Tao, "Okay, I know that you, a girl from the Hall of Rebirth, still don't trust me. If you have anything to ask, just ask as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the Taoist pointed to the circle of red flames on the ground and said, "The secret method of your Wangsheng Hall is a bit too conspicuous."

"It was originally a secret method used for sneak attacks, but you've really made it work. Although its concealment has been reduced, it can actually hurt evil spirits and monsters, and even make weak ghosts afraid to approach. It's just right for protecting innocent mortals."

Seeing that this man might be an elder, Hu Tao relaxed her guard a little, snatched a large bunch of greasy grilled pork belly skewers from Lu Changsheng and started eating, chatting with the Taoist priest while eating.

Lu Changsheng: "Hu Tao, didn't you just say you were full?"

Kurumi: "I used up so much elemental energy in the battle just now, can't I replenish it?"

Taoist priest: "Boy, grill faster. If others see so many skewers, they will think that I can't afford to eat them all!"

Lu Changsheng could only squat beside the fire and grill the skewers with great effort, feeling aggrieved.

Instead, Hu Tao and Fang Shi smiled at each other. They actually felt a tacit understanding among their fellow practitioners from the matter of exploiting Lu Changsheng.

Walnut asked, "What should I call this Taoist uncle?"

The Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "The past cannot be recalled. It is all sad. Please ask me to insult the Taoist priest."

Hu Tao said, "Shan Daoist, this name is quite interesting."

"My name is Hu Tao, and I am the 77th head of Wangsheng Hall. Hu means doing whatever one wants, and Tao does not mean naughty, but Tao means peach blossom."

Taoist Sun showed a sad expression on his face: "Seventy-seventh generation hall master, so soon?"

"I was once the heir of the Liyue alchemist lineage. Later, something happened and I left Liyue. I only came back not long ago."

Hu Tao asked, "Then Taoist Priest, do you know Chongyun?"

Taoist Sun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Chongyun! Of course I know him. According to seniority, he should call me uncle. Before I left Liyue, others called me Chonglou."

"If you meet Chongyun, you can ask him if he still remembers me."

"But he probably can't remember. When I left Liyue, he was only about three or four years old. He must have forgotten what I looked like."

As time passed, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon had climbed up to the treetops without me noticing.

Taoist Sun looked at the sky and said, "Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, it's time for me and these poor people to set off."

"Boy, and Little Walnut, please treat me to a barbecue today, and I'll give you this talisman paper."

As he spoke, Taoist Sun took out a stack of yellow talismans from his cloth bag and gave them to Hu Tao and Lu Changsheng.

Then, he shook the bell in his hand, and the zombies standing in place changed direction and walked away under the command of the Taoist priest.

Yin-people-go-on-the-road~~, Yang-people-retreat~~

The Taoist's back disappeared in the fog. After a while, the fog dissipated and his figure could no longer be seen.

Lu Changsheng looked at the yellow talisman in his hand with curiosity. He couldn't make out what was drawn on it with cinnabar, but the handwriting was similar to Xingqiu's.

Oh! Maybe Xingqiu's calligraphy is very suitable for drawing talismans!!!

Walnut touched the lines on the talisman paper, tore off a piece of it, and then a ball of fire shot out from the talisman paper and shot straight forward. The damage was actually quite large, breaking a tree as thick as a bowl, and there were traces of burns on the broken end.

Lu Changsheng looked at the talisman paper in his hand and complained: "This Taoist priest's behavior is a bit crazy. How can someone chase away zombies and dress himself up as a zombie to scare children?"

Walnut: "I think this guy is quite interesting. Maybe he can play with me."

"and many more!!!"

"Who are you calling a kid!?"

Faced with Hu Tao, who was glaring at him and about to hit him on the head with the Demon-Protecting Staff, Lu Changsheng could only flee in embarrassment.

Finally, after Lu Changsheng begged for mercy and signed many unequal treaties, the two of them dragged two unlucky treasure-stealing duos who had been frightened unconscious twice overnight, and rushed towards Liyue Harbor.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, no special situations occurred, and no monsters or demons appeared.

……

After returning to Liyue, the two brothers of the treasure-stealing group were handed over to the Qianyan Army. Hu Tao and Lu Changsheng agreed to meet at the Wangsheng Hall tomorrow morning and then left separately.

Taoist Sun was shaking a bell, directing a large group of jumping zombies behind him to search for a certain place in Wuwang Slope.

When Sun Dao Ren took out the map, he looked carefully and found that the location of that place exactly coincided with the location of the treasure on the treasure map that the two brothers of the treasure-stealing group gave to Lu Changsheng and Hu Tao.

As time passed, Sun Dao Ren got closer and closer to the location of the treasure, and finally arrived at the entrance of the treasure.

The entrance to the treasure is a cave, which looks dark, eerie and scary inside.

The Taoist priest laughed strangely: "Haha, I found it!"

"The land of the dead, the return journey of ghosts!"

……

The next day, when Lu Changsheng arrived at the Hall of Rebirth, he found that there were already many people standing there, and their identities were not simple.

Hu Tao sat in the first seat, flipping through a yellowed ancient book in his hand. His expression was solemn and serious, no longer as cheerful as before.

She looked up at Lu Changsheng, closed the ancient book in her hand, and said, "Now that everyone is here, I will first introduce what happened to everyone."

"Last night, Lu Changsheng and I met a strange Taoist priest who claimed to be a Taoist priest at Wuwangpo. He was driving a strange fog and a large group of vicious zombies."

"That person claimed to be the descendant of the Liyue alchemist lineage, and his name was Chonglou. He was Chongyun's uncle, and he sounded very familiar with alchemists and the Wangsheng Hall."

"But Chongyun told me that although he had such an uncle, whose name was also Chonglou, he had passed away twelve years ago."

"That's right." Chongyun stood up and said, "I consulted the elders in my family and learned that my cousin, Chonglou, was a genius who obtained the Eye of God at a young age. Unfortunately, he was seriously ill and died young."

"My elders watched him being buried."

Chongyun clenched his fists, his expression serious, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "No matter who this evildoer is, he actually stole my cousin's identity to discredit the alchemist lineage. I must let him taste the power of the Pure Yang Body!"

Xingqiu looked at Chongyun, whose face had turned red with excitement, and immediately took out an ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth to cool him down. In such a serious occasion, he couldn't let Chongyun lose control and make a scene.

Xingqiu: "Yes, this matter concerns the safety of Liyue. Although I am just a commoner, I also have the heart to fight for justice and punish evil. Naturally, I will take up my three-foot-long sword and swear to kill the evildoers in Liyue."

Ye Lan tossed the dice in her hand and said, "The second son of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is not a commoner."

Xingqiu smiled, not getting angry at Ye Lan's barbed words, and said, "With this special envoy from the Seven Stars here, how can an ordinary person like me dare to act so arrogantly?"

"This trip is not only for justice, but also to help my friends. If my friends are in trouble, I will naturally help them with all my strength."

"Miss Ye Lan, I, as a primordial god, can do anything to help you." Xingqiu said with a smile as he placed his Eye of God on the table.

Ye Lan's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said, "You have passed the test."

Then, this enchanting, oppressive older sister cast her aggressive gaze at Lu Changsheng, who was trying hard to reduce his presence.

Ye Lan opened her red lips and said, "So, is this the Imperial Coffin Immortal who was making so much noise in Liyue a few days ago? He is truly a man who never reveals his true identity."

Lu Changsheng, who had been silently repeating "You can't see me, you can't see me" but was still called, had no choice but to stand up and said, "Haha, it's just an empty name in the martial arts world. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."

The insignificant little sister standing nearby gave him a puzzled look.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't seem to know what happened, Hu Tao explained:

"Yesterday, Lu Changsheng and I got a treasure map from two treasure-stealing groups. I thought it was just an ordinary treasure map, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"But it turns out that the location marked on the treasure map is wrong. It actually marks the location of the border guarded by the Wangsheng Hall?"

"Border!?" Xingqiu asked excitedly, "Is it the border I was thinking of?"

Walnut said with a bitter face: "Yes, it is that border."

"This is clearly a secret passed down from generation to generation in Wangsheng Hall. How did it become a treasure? This is not a prank that can be ignored with a smile."

Zhongli Keqing, who was sitting next to Hu Tao and was also flipping through an ancient book seriously, could tell that not everyone here knew what the "boundary" that Hu Tao and the others were talking about was. Lu Changsheng looked confused, and although Ye Lan had no expression on his face, there was confusion in his eyes.

So he began to explain: "The so-called [border] actually refers to the [border between life and death]."
