"The remains of the Emperor of the Rocks? Naturally, I came across it through the doorway, but before I can do that, I have to ask the traveler why he is looking for this. ”

Taking the tea bowl out of the birdcage and placing it on the table, Zhongli opened the lid of his tea bowl and poured some lukewarm tea into it, looking interested.

Ying looked curiously at Zhongli's act of treating a tea bowl as a child, biting the chopsticks in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's just a routine search for ......"

She grabbed a piece of Mora meat, smiled softly, and shoved it into Paimon's pale mouth.

Recalling the scene he had seen in Liuyun's Wind True Monarch Cave Mansion, Paimon shook his head firmly.

"I don't eat...... Do you know how desperate the owners of these meats would be before they died?! They would be hung on hooks and wait for the butcher's knife to come, and Paimon would only eat later...... Travelers come back for another piece. ”

"Clip it yourself."

After fixing the fault of the portable navigation, Ying's face changed instantly, and she was not at all gentle, and turned her head and asked, "Does Mr. Zhongli really have a way?" ”

"Well, you've heard Childe say before, the funeral unit where I work is called the "Death Hall", which has a long history of thousands of years."

Zhongli poured himself another cup of hot tea, savored it for a while, closed the lid and said, "There is a ceremony in the Hall of the Dead, which is dedicated to the funeral of the immortals who have returned to heaven. ”

"The Emperor of the Rock King also belongs to the immortals?"

Pulling the clean chicken bone from his mouth, Paimon asked as he floated to Zhongli's side, lifted the lid of the tea bowl and looked at the pure water inside, and curiously touched it with the chicken bone.

The dot of oil floated on the water and disappeared in just a second.

"Morax has many names in it, and in addition to a few clichés, the "Ancestor of the Immortals" is also his title."

Quietly escorted the tea bowl, Zhongli said again: "Now that the emperor is funeral, the ceremony of sending immortals has not been planned for a long time, and the seven stars have been derelict in this matter. ”

"After all, there was just an assassination."

Paimon casually explained, her eyes glancing at the tea bowl, she already knew what it was.

Zhongli had just poured tea into it because the cooled tea was not tasty, and the oil on the chicken bones disappeared first, proving that the water in the tea bowl had a high degree of cleanliness.

So, this tea bowl is a trash can to carry around!

"Then why did Mr. Zhongli contact Childe? The Fatui should not have a good reputation, and perhaps they are coveting the remains of the Rock King, just like Mondstadt. ”

"Childe will provide a financial aid for the Immortal Ceremony."

Zhongli stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of the teacup to avoid a column of water suddenly spraying on his face, and said with a smile: "What the traveler said is indeed true, but the Afterlife Hall only cares about sending immortal ceremonies, and the little hands and feet outside the contract don't care.

"Besides, Liyue is the most prosperous of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Celestial Power Star Condensation is very wary of them, and some of the Fatui's diplomatic tactics don't work here.

"Also, there is a more formal name for the body of the Rock King Emperor - "Immortal Ancestor Fa Transformation".

"Money? If the water stops here, there will definitely be a quarrel over this matter. ”

In fact, he is.

Zhongli didn't know if he should lament that the two had known each other for such a short time and were so familiar, or if he suspected that Zhishui had honestly shown the bottom line to the traveler.

Paimon vaguely understood what he was going to do next, and asked, "Then we help Mr. Zhongli plan to send the Immortal Ceremony, and then we can see the Immortal Ancestor Fa Transformation?" ”

"That's true."

"It sounds like a job without rough stones, and the traveler may not be motivated." Paimon complained.

"Paimon, don't slander me!"

"Before it is made into an item, the night park stone is exactly the same in terms of appearance, interior and texture, so there are many merchants who are shoddy and cunning afterwards."

Zhongli patiently taught Ying and Paimon, holding the tea bowl in his hand, and said calmly, "We just need to buy them all, so we don't need to care about this, can you remember?" ”

"Buy them all? Impossible! We don't have enough Mora on us. ”

Paimon let out a loud protest, his little feet stomped in the air, his hands on his hips, and he said angrily, "Zhongli, you're misleading people at all, can't you still count the difference in money?"

"If that's the case, you can learn from Paimon and use honey sauce carrots to fry meat, for example, the price of these Yebo stones is at least a hundred different from the Mora on us."

"If everything is tied up by Mora, how can it be done in the future?"

Zhongli sighed, "However, there is a way to distinguish it, and when the high-quality Yebo Stone is close to the fire element, it will bloom with a bright light......"

A Mora broke through the lid and leaped high, briefly reflecting in Zhongli's platinum-gold eyes, followed by countless Mora pouring out.

"My good tea bowl."

Looking down at the shattered lid next to his feet, Zhongli whispered, "That's enough." ”

The words fell, and there was no more Mora surging in the tea bowl.

"Paimon thought it was a trash can, but it turned out to be a baby who can spit Mora! No wonder Zhongli has to take it with you wherever you go. ”

“……”

"The next step is to prepare neon flowers, which are made of fine fiber materials for brocade, but their fragrance is very elegant, so it is suitable for serious scenes such as worshipping immortals."

Not wanting to talk too much about stopping the water like a child's struggle, Zhongli looked up at the dim sky.

On the way to Xie Cui after lunch, he did waste a little time because of the things along the way.

"I wanted to go to the merchant to buy it, but I remembered that there was a place with excellent neon flowers, but before I left, I needed to go to Wanmin Tang to pack some vegetarian dishes...... It may also be able to solve the problem of accommodation for travelers and Paimon. ”

"Need to go to a restaurant? So what are you waiting for, let's go! Paimon is hungry. ”

Today, Liyue Harbor is out of stock, and even the restaurants are full, and many people are drunk and hazy before the food is served, lying on the table and crying.

Even a man made of iron has to shed two tears.

As one of the most popular restaurants, Chef Mao spontaneously cooked decanting soup in the back kitchen, occasionally raised his head to look at the sky outside the window, which seemed to be no different from yesterday, and sighed sadly.

Without the Emperor, could Liyue Harbor still be called Liyue Harbor?

Zhongli stepped into the restaurant and looked around at the full seats, full of people who wept at his slightest gesture, and felt nothing about it.

It's just that he hid his skills and fame and came to Xiangling's back and patted it.

"Little Master Xiangling, help me pack a few vegetarian dishes like fried Qingxin."

"Is it Senior Sister Ganyu? How is the sound a little ...... Wow, hell! ”

Holding the tray in her arms, Xiangling turned her head with a smile, and when she saw the person behind her, she reluctantly raised her voice and asked, "You are a guest of the Dead Hall, right?" ”

Zhong Li asked suspiciously: "If there is no second guest in the Afterlife Hall, why does Little Master Xiangling have this question?" ”

"Huh-"

Xiangling took out a jueyun pepper from his scarf pocket, picked up the pot on the side and stuffed it into his mouth, threw it forward, and a spear appeared in his hand.

"Pot, breathing fire!"

I dare to pretend to be the emperor and his old man, and try the marksmanship taught to me by the master!

"Lululu~~"

Old friend, bear with me a little~

"Solid."

How could this kid be so frightened? I don't know how to avoid some guests.

"Traveler, Zhongli won't owe money at this restaurant."

Looking at the scene that was instantly hot after just a few words of conversation, Paimon whispered in Ying's ear, "Maybe he brought us here to ask us to pay him." ”

"You said before that the tea bowl in Zhongli's hand was a Tumora baby, how could you do such a thing?"

Ying poked Paimon's forehead with her finger, "Do you think this Xiangling is a little familiar?" Is it the one who just came to Mondstadt and was sent home by a water stop because of Abbey's lack of water? ”

"Yes, it seems that the relationship with the big bad guy is still a brother and sister."

After thinking about it for a long time, Paimon slapped his forehead, "Traveler, let's go and help!" The junior sister of the big bad guy shouldn't hit someone for no reason, so Zhongli is the bad guy! ”
