This is a week after returning from the island in the lake.

Shi Lan was pleasantly surprised to find that his hand could move in the morning, and he was so excited that he almost cried.

Controlling the gentle movement of his fingers, the fingertips rubbing against the soft bedding, the long-lost touch, proved that the paralyzing effect of his whole body had passed.

"Yikes! Good! It's moving! It moves! ”

"Stinky boy! What can you move? Ishiyama asked from the other side of the house.

"Daddy! My hands can move! ”

Shi Shan suddenly laughed: "Okay, great! Stinky boy, you're going to worry me to death! ”

"Hahahaha......"

The father and son smiled happily, the sun shone through the window, and the haze that had been pressing on their hearts in the past two days finally dissipated.

Along with it, Xiangling shouted lightly: "Shi Lan~ take medicine!" ”

Under Xiangling's care, Shi Lan's body was recovering rapidly, much faster than he expected.

And this kind of recovery speed was unexpected and reasonable in Baizhu, which made him even more sure that Shi Lan was not simple.

When the time for the Immortal Ceremony was approaching, Shi Lan could walk around and go out.

"It's not easy, fresh outdoor air ......"

Shi Lan pushed open the door, although the street outside was still familiar, but there was a feeling of being in a different world.

"Yo, Shi Lan! Congratulations, you can finally go out. ”

"It's amazing, but don't be so reckless in the future!"

"If it's okay, come to our house for dinner tonight? Today, the Southern Cross returned to Hong Kong and brought back a lot of foreign specialties. ”

Shi Lan responded with a smile: "Thank you, uncle!" I still won't bother you! ”

After greeting the neighbors one by one, Shi Lan walked on the street of Eating Huyan and looked east and west.

Wanmintang's business has not been booming in the past two days, and the customer flow is about to reach the Lantern Festival.

"Xiangling, are you busy?"

"Super busy!" Xiangling was busy running to serve food, and her tired little face was flushed.

Shi Lan took the initiative to ask: "I'll help." ”

I definitely don't dare to go to the kitchen, Master Mao hasn't given up on himself yet, and I haven't poured chicken soup on myself in the past two days.

What is said that wandering is not as fragrant as rice in the kitchen, and bleeding and sweating is not as good as flipping a spoon of fried rice...... In short, it's just a non-stop, let's make Shi Lan one head and two big.

What he can help now is to act as a front desk and help collect money and keep accounts.

Due to the approaching ceremony, there are now more and more foreigners on the streets of Liyue, and various businesses in Liyue have welcomed all kinds of foreign friends.

Many people came to Liyue at this time to witness the arrival of one of the seven earthly gods, the Rock Emperor Morax, a symbol of wisdom and wealth, who also has many followers in other countries, after all, no one in the entire human race of Teyvat needs Mora.

They hope that being closer to God will bring good luck and that they will have inexhaustible wealth.

Shi Lan is also looking forward to it.

To be honest, he had never seen the power of the Emperor up close.

Although the Immortal Ceremony is once a year, it is not so easy to meet the emperor, after all, the Yujing Terrace is so big, and the place where you can stand is really limited, if you want to see the emperor, you have to come early to occupy the position.

Because there are so many people in Liyue Harbor here, and because of the foreigners who come here, it is easy for accidents to get into trouble, and almost every year at the Immortal Ceremony, someone dies due to stampede.

Although no one will stop you from looking at the emperor, this kind of is not something that can be squeezed in hard, so many people are densely packed together, and if anyone falls down, they will never be able to stand up again.

Yu is young, and he has more than enough strength but can't bear it.

Although Shi Lan had lived in Liyue for thirteen years, he had not seen the emperor come thirteen times, but only looked at the huge dragon head from afar......

"But! Today is different, as the only designated partner of Ningguang's miscellaneous work for two and a half consecutive years; Uncle Tian's fishing pole man; Yelan's Vision is the key cause and effect man; the great hero who captured Jiang Sheng and the life-saving benefactor of Keqing and Xingqiu; I, Shi Lan, want a seat in the inner circle to welcome the emperor, this request should not be too much......"

Shi Lan was full of spirits, and her waist was much straighter.

Helping Wanmintang through the peak period of lunch, Shi Lan refused Master Mao's retention, and snatched the naan that the pot was about to eat and slipped away.

After taking a bite of naan, Shi Lan burst into tears.

"Careless... No wonder this pot is so fire-breathing... How can you eat it with chili peppers in naan... I remember you! ”

If you grab the pot and eat it, you have to hate the pot Shi Lan is crumbs!

Coming out of Wanmin Hall, Shi Lan wandered aimlessly on the street, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to the side of the three bowls of the port.

Tian Tiezui was talking endlessly about the glorious deeds of the emperor on the stage, and under the influence of the invitation to the immortals, the audience was full of them, and many foreign friends who wanted to know more about the emperor were also fascinated.

The teahouse owner's mouth was crooked.

Shi Lan glanced around the crowd and soon spotted a familiar figure.

"Mr. Zhongli."

He sat down cheekily.

Shi Lan and Zhongli are not familiar, they have only met twice, but this person has a unique temperament, and Shi Lan can't help but want to know him more.

Zhongli was also impressed by Shi Lan.

This is his own cheap son......

"Looks like you're almost recovering." Zhongli took the initiative to speak and said, "Do you still want a bowl of wine-stuffed balls?" ”

Knowing that Zhongli was making fun of himself, Shi Lan's head shook like a rattle: "If you are weak and weak, it's better not to eat this." ”

"Then let's have a cup of hot tea."

As he spoke, Zhongli politely asked Shi Lan for a pot of hot tea.

Because the tea was free, he couldn't afford anything else.

Holding the cup, Shi Lan comfortably drank the entire cup in one gulp.

Zhongli took a sip of tea, his demeanor was elegant, and his tone was quite funny: "It's funny, I was listening to a book here that day, and suddenly a stubborn rock fell from the sky..."

Shi Lan's action as she prepared to pour tea stiffened, and her heart was drumming.

(This person wouldn't already know that I threw the rock, would he?) ）

I only heard Zhongli continue: "The stubborn stone fell in the wind and fell on my ......"

"Forgive me, sir, it's all my fault..."

Shi Lan's scalp was numb, and the Dafa of apology at the speed of light reappeared.

When people suddenly mentioned this, they also said a stubborn stone, and the meaning could not be more obvious, so they almost pointed to their noses and told you, "I know that you threw that stone."

"Don't be too nervous." Zhongli's aura was extraordinary, and his tone was so flat that people couldn't hear joy and anger: "I just think that everything is too unbelievable." ”

Shi Lan didn't dare to speak, Zhongli was already very face-saving if he wasn't angry, after all, the stone was not small, and if it was a little crooked, it was estimated that it would not hit the table......

Zhongli continued: "The follow-up interesting thing, Mr. Tian thought that he had told the story to lead the emperor to his anger, and after the stubborn stone fell, he went to the statue of the emperor to ask for guilt... I knelt for three days and three nights..."

Shi Lan smirked dryly: "Later..."

"Later, the emperor appeared and forgave his sins......"

"Huh? Is it really apparitional? ”

At this time, Shi Lan was stunned.

Isn't it a stone thrown by yourself?

"Look..."Zhongli looked at Tian Tiezui on the stage with satisfaction: "He is much more honest now, and he doesn't make up those original stories to impose on the emperor......

Shi Lan whispered: "It's normal to add some fuel and vinegar to storytelling... The emperor is too cautious..."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with the emperor?" ”

"I have never been dissatisfied with the Emperor...... It's just that I don't understand. ”

"You mean to talk about Jiang Sheng?"

Zhongli's eyes seemed to see through everything.

(Can you see that?) ）

Shi Lan was shocked, glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention to this, so he had the courage to force a sentence: "Why did that kind of wicked person get the Vision of God?" Didn't the emperor look away? ”

"The Vision of God was obtained by Jiang Sheng many years ago. At that time, he was still a person who could fight hard for his protection, and to this day, he is also such a person.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one is always good, and vice versa. Zhongli's tone was indifferent: "Human nature will never only have evil or good, but if evil is not suppressed, it will swallow the fear of others and grow up......

God guides people, but how can people not guide God?

Even if Jiang Sheng is evil, in his heart, these are all good, good to himself, Rao is a sinner, and he also has a heart that wants to be protected... His Vision is still there, which means that his desire is still there..."

Shi Lan couldn't help but interrupt him: "Hey, hey, hey!" You're the Emperor's hardcore, aren't you? Can this also be washed? ”

"Hardcore...... Why? ”

Shi Lan's words were continuous: "As soon as you mention the Vision of God, you mention it, even if he used to be a good person, but now he is a bastard!"

Wrong is wrong, Jiang Sheng is the emperor's fault! There's nothing to say, you say so much, it's just that you just want to exonerate the emperor!

Three days later, please ask the immortal ceremony to see me and question the emperor in public, asking him if he has looked away! ”

After listening to Shi Lan's words, Zhongli was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and then laughed.

"In that case...... This year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony is sure to be interesting...... You're so funny. Well, I admit that in Jiang Sheng, the emperor did look away. But you see, God is also constantly learning and improving...... There is no one in the world who is infallible, and so is God. ”

"What do you mean well, it's the same as ...... grievances" Shi Lan pouted: "You admit that you have a fart, and you are not an emperor......"

Zhongli just shook his head and smiled, and glanced at Shi Lan deeply.

"With all that said, you should have something on your mind, can you tell me about it?"

"Can you help me with this? I'm going to ask the emperor this question..."

Zhongli heard the meaning of Shi Lan's words, disagreed, poured another cup of tea for himself, and then said slowly:

"Although I am not as knowledgeable as the emperor, I may be able to have two words of advice......"
