Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

Under the effect of the passing away ceremony, no matter where the souls of the two belong, they can hear the chanting of walnuts, like a letter from home in the underworld, giving spiritual comfort.

There are quite a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts in this area of ​​Tianheng Mountain, especially after the meteorite rain has just passed, and the newborn ghosts have not had time to return to the ground.

In order to ensure that the ceremony would not be disturbed, Shen Ming took a tree branch and drew a circle beside the graves of Duan Ya and Shao Yuan, enclosing the two of them, and leaving a small opening at the same time.

Ordinary people do this just to ask for comfort, but Shen Ming is already a demigod, he drew a circle and said that sprites should not come in, that is really not allowed to touch any ghosts.

The purpose of leaving a hole is to pass on the thoughts contained in the mantra of the past life, to the souls who have wandered somewhere, or have already returned to the sea of ​​earth veins.

Hu Tao recited softly, while another clerk stood silently, Shen Ming's eyes were slightly closed, feeling the inexplicable power drifting into the distance.

"Can the couple hear it?" Shen Ming opened his eyes and whispered.

"Yes." Hu Tao withdrew the hand that made the formula, "As long as you master the method, the thoughts of the living can be conveyed to the soul of the dead."

"If the deceased is still wandering in the world, then after hearing my chanting, he can let go of his obsession and go to his death."

"But if it has already been reincarnated to other people, such a soul that has passed away, maybe after listening to this passage, it will be regarded as a dream."

"But no matter what, the idea is at least conveyed."

......

"Shall we go back?" Shen Ming said.

"Wait a little longer, wait for me to confirm..." Hu Tao looked at the starry sky, and then looked down at the surroundings.

She chant softly again, this time a spiritual incantation.

A gust of wind blew and rolled up the dead leaves, but there were no wandering spirits that should show up.

"It should be... really gone." Hu Tao took a look, then got up, "Let's go."

"Didn't Zhao Si say to be more decent? Isn't it good for us to come and go quietly?"

While going down the mountain, Shen Ming said.

"Sometimes, being decent is not the same as the cumbersome ceremony, and it doesn't have to be known to everyone to be decent."

"Decent, in fact, for the deceased, it is enough to settle their regrets and give due respect when seeing them off."

"Is Duanya and Shaoyuan's regrets in life really over?" Shen Ming didn't think so.

"Ah, what are you thinking about? You think Liyue Qixing is too cruel." Hu Tao raised her eyebrows slightly and pursed her lips, "Do you think that Uncle Tian really doesn't care about Xiao Jiang? At that time, the meaning inside and outside the words was that he had already started to pay attention to Xiao Jiang, Li Nian and others."

"Ningguang, Keqing, Uncle Tian... Even though they have such thoughts in the mall, they still have the most basic judgment of fairness and justice in their hearts."

"What's more, since Uncle Tian found us to arrange the funeral of the deceased, he must have thought about the arrangements for Li Nian's family. It may not be good, but it must be reasonable."

"Li Nian is like this, let alone Xiao Jiang, who is even more pitiful than Li Nian... Uncle Tian's connections are very strong."

"That's right." Shen Ming smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The two gradually descended the mountain.

At the place where the two of them once stood on Tiansheng Mountain, Uncle Tian came slowly and touched the tombs of Shaoyuan and Duanya.

He had just arrived, and happened to be at the end of the death ceremony of Hu Tao and Shen Ming, so he didn't want to disturb him.

----

After returning to the Pastoral Hall, the two returned to their respective rooms to lie down.

The next day, Uncle Tian came to visit as expected.

"Thank you for everything you have done for Xiao Jiang's parents." Uncle Tian sat on the chair with a sincere and complicated tone.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you are welcome." Hu Tao poured tea for Uncle Tian, ​​and said curiously, "Aren't Uncle Tian always busy, how come he has the opportunity to come and go to Shengtang?"

"Does fishing count as busy? Hehe...it can't be counted, it can't be counted."

"Cough... I'm here. Firstly, I came to thank you all and settle the payment." Uncle Tian took a sip of tea, "Secondly, I also made a decision and wanted to share it with you."

"The matter between Li Nian and Xiao Jiang's parents cannot be undone, but I think there is still something I can do."

Uncle Tian had the same smile on his long-lost face, "No one likes sad stories, and neither do I, and it just so happens that I have the ability to change. Since you have settled Li Nian and Xiao Jiang's life for me Parents, then I can't be left behind."

"I will pay for the aid to Li Nian's parents and Xiao Jiang's medical expenses."

Chapter 220 Joint support finally started

The affairs of Xiao Jiang and Li Nian's family had a reasonable ending under Uncle Tian's intervention.

As Uncle Tian said, he doesn't like sad stories, and he happens to have the ability to change, so he does it.

With the support of relatives and comrades-in-arms, the life of Li Nian's family is getting better little by little. Without Li Nian's bottomless pit of swallowing money, the old man and wife are all focusing on their baby. This is their last thought. .

With this kind of thinking, I will naturally have the motivation to take action. I don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy expensive medicines. The money from these supports has really started to be implemented to improve my life.

Originally, this kind of change was still very slow, but not long ago, an official subsidy from Liyue directly hit Li Nian's family, which made the change suddenly accelerated. I believe that their family will be able to meet Liyue's normal life guarantee soon level.

The improvement in life has been well reflected in the spiritual level. The family has gradually come out of the shadow of Li Nian's death, put all their emotional sustenance on their children, and continue to work hard for it.

And in a hut far away on Tianheng Mountain, Xiao Jiang's figure has disappeared, and he was sent to Bubulu for mental correction.

Uncle Tian has been thinking for a long time, whether to let Xiao Jiang's intelligence return to normal, if it is like this now, he can still live without worries, if his intelligence is really normal, then he will know the tragedy of his parents... ...

He was always cautious about Xiao Jiang's affairs. Before, Xiao Jiang was fine when he was not an adult, but as Xiao Jiang grew up, whether to let him face the truth was something Uncle Tian had to consider.

He kept thinking, thinking, until that day when he saw Hu Tao and Shen Ming dying for Duan Ya and Shao Yuan.

At that time, he suddenly realized that this would not work, he was too hesitant, what had he been doing all this time, Shao Yuan and Duan Ya had already left, Xiao Jiang had grown up, and he himself was getting old.

If Xiao Jiang is not allowed to face the reality, it will be too late.

No matter what, Xiao Jiang's future life choices should be made by himself.

----

This incident did not affect Shen Ming too much mentally, but instead gave him a deep understanding of the true face of the Xiangshengtang business.

No wonder Hu Tao always asked Zhongli and herself to give lectures to the shop assistants frequently to broaden their horizons.

After experiencing life and death all year round, if there is no way and channel to improve, the state of mind will easily change.

Time ticked away, day by day, and dozens of days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the long-lost paper was once again sprinkled in the Jade Pavilion in the sky.

[The negotiation with the Winter Kingdom was successful, and the two countries will work together to support the construction of Mond]

A key piece of information instantly shocked the small and medium-sized businessmen who were expecting something, causing an instant uproar.

They immediately realized the consequences of this information, their eyes were red, and many businessmen who were blinded by anger ran to the General Affairs Department to ask for an explanation.

However, one of these people counted as one, and they were all beaten back.

I made a mistake in judging information and frantically hoarded goods, and now I have to go to the General Affairs Department to ask for an explanation, isn't it too crazy?

After a few days of turmoil, a few smart businessmen have realized that this may be a situation, and the only way for them to reduce their losses is to find Liyue's top businessmen, those who set up the situation.

Within a few days, the big chambers of commerce began to open stores in the name of helping small and medium-sized traders, buying department stores and food at one-third of the market price.

Are you angry? Are you distressed?

You have to bear the pain, who made you want to make money for the country.

......

"Ouch, brother Shen Ming! Thanks to your reminder!" Li Ben was patting the table on the dining table in Wanmin Hall, spit flying all over the place.

When he spoke, his expression was both rejoicing and gloating.

He was gloating because those who planned to make a fortune in the country had suffered, and he was lucky because he had sold all the goods that were originally going to be sold to these small traders before that.

In Qingquan Town, they sold all the department stores they had hoarded and cleared the warehouse.

"I really didn't expect that Master Ningguang's methods are so fierce." Li Ben said in awe and sigh.

At this moment, Shen Ming and Hu Tao were sitting opposite him.

As soon as Ningguang announced today, Shen Ming and Hu Tao knew that the joint assistance to Mond was about to start.

At this time, businessmen of all sizes, medium and small were making noise, and Shen Ming and Hu Tao didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, so they were blindfolded and kept their ears shut.

However, when the two were resting, an invitation letter from Liben interrupted their leisure plans.

Who is Li Ben? He is the benefactor of the two of them. Without him, it is not certain whether the relationship between the two of them can develop so fast.

Besides, maybe we can find some magical treasures from Liben in the future, an invitation letter is quite enthusiastic.

"Ningguang's business methods no longer need us to evaluate." Shen Ming also sighed.

"Speaking of which, how is your business doing?"

Speaking of this, Li Ben immediately beamed with joy, "Thanks to your reminders, I basically didn't lose anything, and even made a small profit."

"Next time in this situation, keep your eyes brighter." Shen Ming said while eating, "This time it's because my information is more accurate. If the same situation happens again someday, brother Liben, if you don't Remember the lesson, you still have to discount."

"I must know this, I know." Li Ben said with a smile, "I will definitely not do business in Liyue in the near future."

"Going to Mond?" Shen Ming asked curiously.

"What are you doing in Mond, selling bulk goods? That's not my goal." Li Ben patted the table.

"I'm going to Sumeru!"

"So far? Or is it such a bad condition?" Both Shen Ming and Hu Tao were surprised.

Now with the circulation of major merchants all over the world, the current situation of Sumeru has spread. Most merchants would not go to such a bad condition.

"I went because of the bad conditions!" Liben made a decision, "The bad conditions mean that the merchants have not yet set foot there. If I go, I will take the lead."

"And maybe Sumeru has a lot of weird items that can be put into my wonder box."

The last one is your goal!

Shen Ming complained in his heart.

But speaking of it, there are mostly scholars and alchemists on Xumi's side, who can always tinker with some novelties, and maybe they can really gain a lot.

Even there are quite a lot of taboos there, I hope Brother Liben will not step on the thunder when he gets there.

Don't go to some places you shouldn't go, but don't get into any fatal trouble because of curiosity.

Chapter 220 The Coming Festival

Since the last time the confetti fell all over the sky, the merchants had been making a fuss for a while. After several twists and turns, they failed to achieve any results, and then gave up one after another.

The small and medium-sized businessmen gave up, but the real planners of this incident started their performances. Driven by these capitals, the negotiations between Liyue and Zhidong are being implemented in an extremely fast manner.

Liyue Port is full of busy scenes, and merchants are following in the footsteps of big capital, preparing to go to Mond. The resulting gathering effect makes ordinary Liyue people talk about it.

Within a week, the official document of the General Affairs Department was posted, formally confirming the cooperation with Zhidong, and this also marked the start of a mighty support operation.

The cooperation between the two countries is not that simple. Both Liyue and Zhidong need a period of time to adjust their own resources.

Liyue needs to recruit more ships and high-performance transportation vehicles. If there are ready-made ones, they will be bought. If there are no ready-made ones, they will be researched. Even the mining industry has begun to recruit a large number of workers. .

Zhidong is not much easier than Liyue. Mond needs a lot of materials, and many of them need to be processed industrially. If mass production is required, then it is imperative to establish a special production line. This takes both time and money.

Therefore, although the joint support to Mond was hyped vigorously, neither of the two countries took a step forward, and both were making preliminary preparations.

Seeing that the preliminary preparations will take a long time, Liyue simply set the official support time at the beginning of next year.

Of course it was because the more prepared the better, the more sure it was, but it was more because the Sea Lantern Festival was coming.

The support for Mond is just a commercial activity led by Ningguang and promoted by the capital of the two countries, and the Sea Lantern Festival is one of the two most grand traditional festivals in Liyue.

And this one is about to become the only one now, and the emperor has already left, so what kind of immortals are invited, what kind of rituals are invited.

Although there will be various ways to commemorate the emperor, but without the presence of the emperor, there will be no soul, and it can no longer be compared with the Sea Lantern Festival.

Right now, Liyue's biggest festival is approaching. Even if the joint support is a national-level action, isn't it still in the early stage of planning? It hasn't entered the practical stage yet, so hurry up to make way for the Sea Lantern Festival.

Back a little, back a little.

As time progressed, merchants gradually became aware of the atmosphere of the Sea Lantern Festival, and more people set up stalls in the square.

"Master Mao, do you have any unique skills for this Sea Lantern Festival!"

Next to the store of Wanmintang, Shen Ming said to Xiangling's father with a smile when passing by.

"Hey, you're going to ask my daughter about this!" Master Mao said proudly, and at the same time twirled the spoon in his hand like acrobatics.
