"But who is the tall man next to Lord Yuhengxing? It's too tall..."

"Shh...be quiet."

The words of the miners who were talking in a low voice could not escape Ke Qing's ears, but it was just a routine business, and the purple-haired girl didn't pay too much attention to the miners in the gossip.

After taking a document from the Qianyan Army squad leader on the side, and handing the document to Zhong Li, Ke Qing said in a very formal tone: "Because Zhong Li performed well during the reform through labor, he got the foreman. With the unanimous approval and approval of the workers. Therefore, the original one-week reform through labor has been shortened and ended today.”

"I also hope that Mr. Zhongli will keep in mind the hard work of the past few days, and remember that you need to pay more attention to sensitive matters before cooperating with foreign forces. Once you find a problem, you need to report it to the Qianyan Army immediately. I also hope that everyone will take this as a warning, and do not commit the same thing. fault."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In front of the terrace of Yujingtai, Zhong Li, who had been released from prison, stood on the high platform overlooking the Liyue Harbor below. The scene of heavy traffic was not too surprising to Liyue, who had been guided by him for so many years.If there is any difference, it is that the people are less emotionally satisfied and proud, replaced by caution and hard work.

From a long-term perspective, this is a good change, which means that the people of Liyue Port no longer rely on their own guidance, and try to start a new life with their own judgment.The benign transformation made Zhong Li's eyes reveal a somewhat relieved look.

"Look, that's Mr. Zhong Li, right? Was he released?"

"That's right, my friend who served in Qianyan Army told me that Mr. Zhongli's service period was shortened earlier because of his good performance in Heiyan Factory."

"Hey... It's good to come out. Mr. Zhong Li is still the most reliable in the hall of life. After all, this generation of hall masters are still younger, but it seems that she hasn't come to pester us to sell funeral matters recently?"

"No, I heard that it seems that the walnuts turned their target customers to those wealthy businessmen, and a few were really persuaded..."

......

The chatter of the people passing by Liyuegang came into Zhongli's ears, and the emotion called melancholy occupied Zhongli's heart.Hey... If I had known that the Liyue Seven Stars had grown so fast, I wouldn't have chosen the location of the contract transaction in the North Country Bank.

However, just like longevity species will suffer from wear and tear, human beings whose lives are relatively short will also be forgotten.From three to five weeks to as little as a few months or half a year, as long as the popularity of the topic of their imprisonment has dropped, everyone will forget about their own affairs in the past few days.For myself, these things are not too much trouble.

This is the Hall of Rebirth... In the past few days when I was away, what idea did the 77th generation hall master Hu Tao come up with?And it also targeted those rich businessmen as the main target... This actually aroused my interest.

After the business is done, let's go and find out. Zhongli made up his mind and looked at the two who came to Yujingtai at the appointed time.

Traveler Ying and the variable Xia Yu that appeared related to the original, I don't know how the plan of the Queen of Ice and those on the Sky Island will be affected...

————————————————————————

"Ah... Mr. Zhongli is there!" After arriving at Yujingtai, the sharp-eyed Paimon first noticed the tall and straight figure standing on the edge of the Yujingtai observation deck, and hurriedly looked towards Paimon whom the two had reminded of. Somewhat excited.

Calm and reliable, just looking at the solid back, the little guy flying in mid-air couldn't help but admire this learned rock god.

However, remembering the news that Mr. Zhong Li was dispatched to the Heiyan Factory for labor and mining in the past few days, Paimon's look at Zhong Li became strange again.

Compared with the basically unreliable singing from Mond next door, it may be because Mr. Zhongli usually gives the impression that he is too reliable in other aspects except the matter related to Mora. He was dispatched to dig, and when he looked at his serious face almost all the time, the strong contrast caused the corners of his mouth to rise unconsciously.

Recalling the questioning of Wendy in Mond, Xia Yu asked the blond girl next to him, considering that Ying might be hiding some secrets like himself, "How is it, do you still go first for the question this time?" , Contrary to Xia Yu's expectations, Ying, who pondered for a while, finally shook his head.

"No need, in fact, the purpose of my travels is that I believe you have seen it through those missing people notices, that is, to find my brother, Sora."

"My brother Sora and I have the ability to travel through different worlds, but we don't know what happened after we came to the Tivat Continent. When I was woken up by my brother, that flashed across my brother's face. I seldom saw the panic, and then, my brother told me to leave this world, and just as we were about to leave, a guy who claimed to be the maintainer of heaven appeared..."

Perhaps because he regarded Xia Yu as an acquaintance, Ying's face was extremely complicated when he was talking about his past on the way to where Zhong Li was.

"I don't know why she is so hostile to us who are about to leave, but I also don't know why she didn't end us after we were defeated, but trapped us on the continent of Tivat. In short, I, who lived on the Tivat Continent, have been searching for the whereabouts of my brother all these years, and at the same time inquired about the clues of this person named Tianli maintainer."

"When I was in Mond, I heard the head of Qin say that Xia Yu, you also came to this Tivat continent from another world, and then you told me the news, so I don't think I have much to hide here. news, so let me tell you."

It turns out that this is what Ying has always wanted to inquire about... The only way to inquire about this information is to ask the gods of various countries.However, how much you can know depends on how much the other party is willing to say.It seems that he remembered the words Wendy warned him, and Xia Yu looked at Ying with a bit of sympathy.

"Judging from Mond's experience, Zhongli should be under surveillance like Wendy, and there is not much information to reveal." Xia Yu, who had been vaccinated for Ying in advance, found that the girl's face did not show Any disappointed look.

"Of course I have considered this situation. In fact, I have been collecting information myself during the trip. Although there are few clues, as long as I can know where to go next, it will be no problem." He came to Zhongli. The blond girl looked extremely open-minded.

Once again, I met Zhong Li at the Yujingtai Observation Deck. After learning about Zhong Li's identity, his profound knowledge and reliable feeling were all explained. Compared with Ying and Paimon, Xia Yu's Thoughts seem a bit complicated.As for the reason...

Zhongli's strangeness was discovered by himself and informed Ningguang. Starting with this incident, Ningguang sent Qianyan Army to monitor Zhongli, so in the end Zhongli was carrying out the contract and the diplomatic envoy of the Solstice Kingdom. During the transaction, Qian Yanjun led by Ke Qing caught him.

In other words, Zhongli's imprisonment had a direct causal relationship with himself.I just don't know how the other person will feel when he finds out...

"Since the two of you have come as scheduled, you must have many questions that you would like to ask me for advice." The tone was still calm and convincing. Although the topic of discussion had not yet been discussed, Zhongli's office exuded The aura made Paimon, who was still laughing, calm down.

"The whole process of this Liyuegang incident, why did I do this? I don't know how you want to hear it?" Zhongli, who asked the two of them, found that apart from Paimon floating in the air, whether it was Ying or Xia Yu, the expressions the two showed showed that they didn't seem to have much interest in these.

Why is this so?Just when Zhongli was confused, the Dragon King Ruoduo on Xia Yu's shoulder caught Zhongli's attention.So that's the case... Because of Joda, they already know the news about wear and tear.If they understand the terrible wear and tear, they must be able to infer why they will play such a drama.

"Mr. Zhongli." Xia Yu said, interrupting the strange silence in the world, and after raising his right hand, Xia Yu continued: "I don't know how much you know about this thing on the back of my hand, Mr. Zhongli?" After the other party finished asking, Xia Yu found that Zhong Li's expression was obviously much more serious than when he mentioned this to Wendy.

"Hey..."

After waiting for a long time but unable to wait for the other party to speak, Xia Yu always felt that Zhong Li, who sighed deeply, looked towards Kai with his eyes revealing extremely complicated emotions.

"For reasons of the contract, I can't tell you the information, but I can give you the clues you need, the information related to it, you can find the information related to it in the rice wife, if your reasoning ability is strong enough, Xia Yu, When you see that news, you should know what it means."

"As for the traveler on the other side..." After explaining to Xia Yu, Zhong Li continued: "I'm sorry, I haven't found any news about your brother's whereabouts at least in Liyue, but if you want to know For more information about that, your next destination should be the same as Xia Yu."

Sure enough...Because I guessed that I would get such an answer before I asked, neither Xia Yu nor Ying seemed too disappointed when I heard Zhong Li speak.

Ina wife... In other words, the target of his next stop will be this country that he has not traveled to yet. "Excuse me, Mr. Zhong Li, how should this rice wife get there?" Xia Yu, who asked Zhong Li, found that Zhong Li frowned rarely, as if he was worried about this matter.

"Ina wife... If you put it in the past, you only need to take a boat to go to Ina wife to the southeast of Liyue. However, it is not so easy to enter the current Ina wife."

"Because of something that happened 500 years ago, Inazuma's Thor began to pursue eternity. She summoned a thunderstorm to block Inazuma's border. At the same time, ordinary foreigners who want to walk freely in that area have to For Dao's wife who has implemented the lock-up order, it may be as difficult as climbing the sky..."

what! ?The answer given by Zhongli made Xia Yu find it difficult.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. In Liyuegang, I have seen people dressed in different costumes from various countries, Mond, Fontaine, Xumi, Solstice, Nata... But I haven't seen much. Only rice wife.In the end, I didn't expect that the reason why Inawi didn't see Inawiren in Liyue Port, the trading capital, was because of the lock-down order.

I finally had the opportunity to find out what the rune on the back of my hand was, but I didn't expect such a mistake. "Is there really no ship that dares to go to Dao's wife?" Xia Yu, who asked Zhong Li, found that the other party shook his head very decisively.

"No, the thunderstorm surrounding Inawi and the current situation of Inawi have made almost all businessmen give up their plans to go to Inawi. In terms of general rationality, under such circumstances, those who dare to break through the thunderstorm in Inawi are afraid of It's only Beidou. It's just that she's not in Liyue while she's out at sea."

"There is something I need to remind you, if you are destined to go to Dao's wife in the future, you must let Ruotuo protect you. Some of Dao's wife's monsters may exceed your current understanding, so be sure not to use the Mond and Liyue areas. The monsters to measure some special existence of Inawife."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli, I will definitely keep it in mind." Xia Yu nodded seriously after listening to Zhongli's warning.

————————————————————————

After getting the information from Zhongli and saying goodbye to Ying, Xia Yu, who returned to Keqing's mansion, sat in the courtyard and thought carefully.

After summing up the current situation, Xia Yu roughly understood his current situation.

The first is the information related to the rune on the back of the hand. According to Zhong Li, the rune on the back of his hand should have a clear record somewhere that Mrs. Rice does not know, but after getting there, you need to slowly find relevant clues.

The second is that his vigilance needs to be improved. In Rice Wife, some monsters may attack him.However, with the protection of the Dragon King Ruoduo, one of Tivat's top combat powers, as long as he doesn't kill himself, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The main reason why the Abyss Religion will launch a sneak attack on themselves is roughly because their existence hinders their plans.But how do you need to distinguish between monsters and monsters?Xia Yu felt that his curiosity was raised again.

"Dragon King Ruoduo, do you know what Mr. Zhongli said about monsters? How are monsters divided in essence?" Xia Yu, who asked Ruoduo Dragon King for advice, found that the other party still shook his head after thinking for a while. shook his head.

"I'm sorry, because of the scars caused by wear and tear, I have lost too much of this part of the memory. I vaguely remember that there was indeed a scene of monsters fighting with monsters." The reply of the Dragon King Ruoduo made Xia Yu have to put all these questions on the list. behind the head.

After leaving Mond for more than three months, it was time for him to return to Mond after dinner with Dadalia at the Crescent Moon Pavilion in the evening.

Because of Ying's enviable ability to teleport through the leyline anchor point, Jie Shi asked them to find Captain Beidou who returned to Liyue, and the blond girl and Paimon agreed readily.

It's time to say goodbye to Keqing Ningguang and the others... Just as Xia Yu stood up and was about to go to Keqing's main courtyard, the knock on the door of the mansion caught Xia Yu's attention, and he came to the courtyard door to look at Keqing's mansion After the servant opened the door, a familiar figure appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

Isn't that walnut?Here she is...wait!The arrival of the walnut made Xia Yu roughly guess the thoughts of this quirky girl...

Could it be that she wanted to be the first to sell the cemetery to Ke Qing! ? ?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Good afternoon, everyone, the new activities of Xingshengtang are being promoted, and the high-quality lots are limited. If you miss one, you will miss one." Hu Tao, who was in the recommendation, stopped talking abruptly when he saw Xia Yu's figure, raised his head and carefully confirmed it several times. After the plaque confirmed that this was indeed Keqing's mansion, Hu Tao asked, "Xia Yu, why are you here? Could it be that you... ouch!"

Before waiting for the girl to gossip, Xia Yu's hand knife accurately hit Hu Tao's forehead, looking at Hu Tao who made a very hurt expression, Xia Yu said without changing his face: "I think too much, because before because of Li Yue Because of the immortals, Keqing and Keqing are relatively familiar, so I will stay in the guest room here for the time being."

"But Walnut, are you here to promote the cemetery plan I told you before?"

The only thing that could make Xia Yu think of the big family who let Hu Tao carry Liyue was the idea he gave to Hu Tao before.

"Of course it is." Hu Tao, who had no objection at all, was full of peace of mind.

"After the appraisal and exploration of Feng Shui, the best place is to ask Li Yue's Seven Stars first. Besides, Yuheng Xing Keqing has given us a big discount, so if there is something good, we must do it first. She's thinking about it..." When he explained this, Hu Tao's eyes looking at Xia Yu brought a bit of light.

"By the way! Xia Yu, do you also need to know? For the sake of your help me, I will specially prepare some shade-loving plants for you, one of the best feng shui planting plans for the vegetation around the cemetery. Ah...and also! Because you are also a traveler, we will also give you a burial service..."

This...Although I know that there is nothing wrong with Hu Tao's words in principle, it still feels weird if I really run into this kind of thing.Especially when the person who sells you the cemetery is a beautiful girl who is only about 15 years old...

"The time to hesitate is not too long~" Seeing Xia Yu's hesitant expression, a sly smile appeared on Hu Tao's face. "Since the cemetery area of ​​the Hall of Rebirth began to be demolished, every day at least several big businessmen from Liyue came to me and asked me what this land was used for."

"After learning about the function of the cemetery, although they still have the same disgusting expression on the surface. But you also know that in our business, the ability to observe words is a must, and because Liyue already has Everyone believes in the existence of immortals and gods. I am sure that some of them will come to book in a few days.”

"His words are unnecessary..." After appreciating the current Li Yue, Zhong Li, who had planned to return to the Hall of Rebirth, noticed that the two were chatting and joined the topic.Looking at the two who turned their heads to look at him, Zhong Li's expression was a little complicated.

"If I read it correctly, his body was completely soaked by the blood of the dragon's heart. In terms of general rationality, most humans who have experienced this condition will die because their bodies cannot withstand the explosion. Now that he was lucky enough to survive, things turned out differently."

"Under normal circumstances, human death is caused by the continuous decline of bodily functions. After the transformation of dragon blood, in a sense, he can be regarded as reborn as a life force that is unimaginable for ordinary people. Think about it that way.”

What?The answer from Zhongli was somewhat beyond Xia Yu's expectations, but Xia Yu, who had not recovered from his daze, made Hu Tao beside him in trouble.

"In other words, can the lifespan be compared to that of dragons? There's nothing you can do about it..." Hu Tao, who started to calculate how long it would take to receive Xia Yu's order, frowned.

If it's really like what Zhong Li said, wouldn't it at least wait until after the rebirth of the hall's master to a hundred generations?At that time, I am afraid that the later hall master will have forgotten the contract signed now, but Xia Yu likes to travel...

If anything goes wrong... not right!Isn't the little fat ball-like dragon on him the Dragon King Rudor who killed Osail directly?With bodyguards of this level following him, Xia Yu is safe wherever he goes.

"Hey, it's really a pity. If that's the case, then it's nothing. But then again, you are really knowledgeable, Zhongli. You deserve to be the most powerful guest in the Hall of Rebirth!" After sighing, he found the figure of the walnut that carved Qing's figure. She jumped towards the other party like a smog, and seemed to be preparing to launch her second sale.

"With such a lively Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth, it's really hard for you, Mr. Zhongli..."

Looking at Xia Yu's slightly sympathetic eyes, Zhong Li had a rather unconcerned attitude, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, Zhong Li said, "It's nothing, the affairs that need to be dealt with in the Hall of Rebirth determine that it won't have anything on weekdays. Too many people visited, so I chose to hide in the city as a guest Qing Zhongli in the past to observe Liyue and slowly witness Liyue's future direction..."

"Ah, this is Mr. Zhong Li, I've admired the name for a long time."

"Yes, it's Mr. Zhong Li, you can finally clear your grievances!"

Zhongli, who didn't know what happened, was surrounded by wealthy businessmen from Yujingtai within a few seconds. Judging from the obvious flattering expressions on the crowd, these wealthy businessmen seemed to have something to do with each other. beg.

"That's right, I am the guest of the past life, Zhongli." Although I don't know why these people came here, but after all, they don't reach out and smack the smiling faces. The faces of businessmen and rich people are full of smiles. . "I don't know what you are talking about?"

"That's Mr. Zhongli." A chubby businessman with a kind face stood up. "Isn't the concept of a cemetery introduced by the Shengshengtang today? We also know a little about Feng Shui in various aspects such as architecture and geographical location selection. After all, we will also ask special people to conduct surveys when building the mansion."

"I don't know if this place of mourning and sacrifice also has a feng shui theory? In addition, according to common sense, the spirit should be fond of yin and fear of yang, but yin qi is often accompanied by evil spirits. Of course, we are not questioning your hall master, but considering that you are more reliable, Mr. Zhongli, on weekdays, so..."

Speaking of the businessmen here, Zhongli understood why these people came. Generally speaking, it was because Hu Tao had somehow come up with the idea of ​​selling the business of Fushengtang that he discussed with Xia Yu, and these businessmen hesitated.

If it was in the past, the funeral business of the Shangshengtang was mainly responsible for the various stages of the ceremony. For example, the final burial place was mostly chosen by customers for those who traveled far.As for the cemetery, it should be similar to the cemetery behind the Zephyr Church in Mond Castle managed by Barbatos.

Due to being forced to go to Heiyan Factory for mining in the past few days, the discussion between Hu Tao and Xia Yu did not reach his ears, so Zhong Li, who had to make a rough guess, first nodded, and then explained: "No Wrong, as long as the construction of the building is involved, it is like considering the orientation of the house and the various layouts in the house, and the cemetery also exists in the feng shui theory because of its vast area."

"It turns out to be true!? Can you recommend Mr. Zhongli for us? After all, the one we trust most in the Hall of Rebirth is Mr. Zhongli. Will the selection of a cemetery for a living person affect their luck?"

"That's right, it's like a ceremony for the immortals, and it's also the ceremony for the highest-ranking Emperor Yanwang. You can do it so perfectly, Mr. Zhongli. If it wasn't for those despicable people in the Winter Kingdom, this would be a mess. Absolutely the most perfect ceremony I've ever seen."
