Keqing sighed: "Yes, when my grandfather told me that the tree was untouchable, I thought he was lying to me. ”

"My grandfather also said: Books are just bridges, leading us to history. As for the ones you asked, they are the things that we, as posterity, should seek to discern. ”

"After my grandfather died, I grew up and became a member of the Seven Stars. Since then, the perception of Xianjun has also been transformed from legend to substance. ”

"For me, the name Xianjun is sometimes associated with my grandfather's name. When I see Xianjun's name, I always think of my grandfather... Remembering those notes in his study. ”

"The recipe for this dish was written down by me from my grandfather's notes. It's an ancient dish he wants to try to restore. Unfortunately, the recipe was incomplete at that time, and he never succeeded. ”

"Every time he tries this dish, he lets me taste it while it's hot... I really miss it, that's what it tastes like. ”

"Why is it Xianjun, Keqing, haven't you always admired the emperor?" Ganyu wondered.

Keqing replied, "Because the existence of the Rock King Emperor is already known to everyone in Liyue, although I was still young at the time, I also knew some things, but the name of Xianjun is somewhat nowhere to be found, because she has never appeared, and there are only a few overviews of the ancient books that record Xianjun, and there is not even a description of what the other party looks like." ”

"Gradually, I also slowly let go of my obsession to know who the Immortal Monarch is, and respect the Rock King Emperor like everyone else, after all, I can't worship a god who only has a name."

After listening to Keqing's explanation, Ganyu nodded and said, "So that's the case." ”

"I met you later, and then I also met Master from Ling, so Ganyu, you are really my lucky star, and meeting you is also the happiest thing in my life." Keqing said this, praising Ganyu.

"Keqing, what you said is too exaggerated, how can I be as good as you say." Listening to Keqing's words, Ganyu felt that his little face was a little hot.

Tassel said with a tiger face: "Stop, stop, don't you treat you badly when you meet me?" ”

Ke Qing hurriedly replied: "Of course not, because what I said is yes, the luckiest thing is, of course, that I met the master and taught me so many skills, I am especially grateful to you." ”

"Well, since you're so grateful to me, the next time something is left to you to do, you won't refuse, right?"

Keqing: "."

Keqing felt that the longest road she had taken was the tassel routine, one ring after another, interlocking, and she fell into it without paying attention, and she still couldn't climb up.

Keqing sighed and said, "Hey, I know, Master, if you have something to do with me, just say it directly, don't do this." ”

Tassel: "Oh hey! ”

Paimon: "."

What should I do if the fluorescent and tassels gradually start to become Wendy? Waiting online, in a hurry.

"Then again, this is an ancient dish, has such a long history?" Paimon opened his mouth to shift the conversation back to the main topic.

Xiangling replied: "My father also learned it from his father, and it is said that this dish has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down in our family for a long time. ”

"Our family calls it Spicy Meat Wotou! It is a folk dish, which is easy to make and easy to carry, especially suitable for eating on the go. ”

Guoba: "Lululu! ”

Xiangling saw the Guoba cheering on the side, and suddenly said: "Haha, I remembered when I saw the Guoba, the day I met the Guoba, I made this dish." ”

Keqing was puzzled: "Met the pot? ”

Xiangling explained: "Well, I met Guoba in a cave! That day, I went to the cave to hide from the rain, and when I saw that there was an offering table inside, I put the spicy meat nest I had brought with me..."

"Later, I accidentally fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that the pot had eaten all the spicy meat. Since then, it's been with me and has become my family. Saying this, Xiangling scratched her head a little embarrassed.

At this point, Paimon suddenly shouted, "Hey, don't just chat, look, that stone!" ”

Hearing Paimon's words, everyone hurriedly shifted their gaze to the large stone in the center of the Yujing Terrace, only to see that the cracks in the big stone began to glow with yellow light, and then exploded with a bang, revealing a stone statue resembling a pot inside.

Ke Qing looked at the statue that resembled a pot in surprise and said in surprise: "This, this is.?!" ”

Ying looked at the statue and touched her chin and said, "Isn't this a pot?" ”

During this time, she played chess with Guoba many times, and she has been sitting opposite Guoba, so that Yingye is very familiar with the appearance of Guoba, and she can remember the appearance of Guoba without looking at it again.

"Pot?! How are you! Xiangling exclaimed.

"It seems that you have already eaten spicy meat." Behind everyone came the voice of the old man of Gechenlang City.

"Master!" Xiangling greeted in surprise.

While eating, the tassel greeted the true monarch of Gechenlang City: "Well, it's still eating, do you want to have some." ”

The corners of Gechenlang City's mouth twitched and replied, "No, no need." ”

Gechenlang City Zhenjun felt that Xianjun was all good, but the things he did made her incomprehensible, because the other party always did some things that ruined the atmosphere like Liuyun borrowing wind Zhenjun, and destroyed all the feelings brewing in her stomach.

"Really, don't you want to do it? Don't say it, Ying's cooking skills are very good, Ying, are you right? Tassel invited again.

"Hmm." Shadow nodded as he ate, puffing out his cheeks.

Gechenlang City Zhenjun walked forward helplessly, picked up a spicy meat nest and said, "Then I'll eat one." ”

She felt that if she didn't have one, the tassel would definitely persecute her endlessly.

"Well, the traveler's craftsmanship is really good, and he is almost catching up with the Immortal Monarch." Gechenlang City Zhenjun said while chewing on the spicy meat.

"Grandma Ping! Look, this stove god looks like a pot! Paimon said to himself to Gechenlang Zhenjun, who was eating spicy meat.

Gechenlang City Zhenjun swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Well, yes, after all, Guoba is the god of the stove you are looking for, the demon god of the stove."

Paimon turned his head to look at Guoba in disbelief and said, "Guoba. The pot is a demon god?!! ”

"Lou!" Guoba echoed.

Gechenlang City Zhenjun explained as he approached everyone, "You ask me if it's lively enough to wake up the Stove God. I gotta say, yes, but no. ”

"The god of the stove has always been a god close to the people who acts according to people's wishes. For him, a wish and a heart are different things. ”

"Hard work, technology, talent, experience. But only the wish represents the purest power in people's hearts. ”

"The Chef Championship is exciting, but it contains more effort than wishes. Just the hard work is not enough to wake up the sleeping Stove God statue. ”

And when Keqing just ate that dish, her heart's wish was fulfilled. In addition to the answers, she also got more important memories, which made her feel as if she was standing side by side with her grandfather. ”

"The great power that erupts when this wish is fulfilled resonates with the Stove Statue, causing the Stove God to reappear in its former form."

Speaking of this, Gechenlang City Zhenjun looked at the pot next to everyone and said with a smile: "Of course, the Stove God himself is definitely not in the statue." Who let the real Stove God be next to everyone? ”

Guoba: "Lu! ”

"How does it feel to see a statue of a god in your heyday? Look at him, he's still so majestic. ”

After listening to the words of the true monarch of Gechenlang City, Xiangling turned her head to him and asked, "In its heyday... Wait, what's wrong with the pot? Isn't the pot different before than it is now?"

"He used to be the land lord of Liyue, but now he is your pot." Gechenlang City Zhenjun explained with a smile: "It's just that the wisdom and power he possessed in the past were all dedicated to this land. ”

Tassel touched his chin and thought to himself, "Heyday? What's the difference? ”

"Xianjun, don't." Looking at the tassel's thinking appearance, the true monarch of Gechenlang City secretly said that it was not good.

"Then you also show the appearance of your heyday, I am not used to seeing you like this." After speaking, the tassel stretched out his hand and pointed at the true monarch of Gechenlang City, who was in the state of Ping's grandmother.

In Xiangling's shocked gaze, the old Grandma Ping in front of her turned into a beautiful woman in a blue and white dress in her twenties, the woman has excellent appearance, a light blue hair, she stands quietly in place, she can give people an indescribable immortal Yun.

"Xianjun, I said don't do this." Gechenlang City Zhenjun sighed helplessly and said.

"Great, Master!" Xiangling's eyes widened and she looked at the true monarch of Gechenlang City in front of her.

Just now, Gechenlang City Zhenjun opened his mouth to speak completely different from the previous Grandma Ping, before it was an old, twilight tone, and now he opened his mouth completely in the voice of a young woman, whose voice was like the sound of a curling piano, and like fairy music surrounded everyone's ears.

"Alas, Xiangling." Gechenlang City Zhenjun was a little embarrassed to face Xiangling.

Xiangling's eyes were shining and said, "Master, you are so beautiful!" ”

Gechenlang City Zhenjun: "."

"It's much more comfortable to look like this, don't you say, Keqing, Ganyu." Tassel looked at Gechenlang City in front of him with a smile and asked Ganyu Keqing.

The two nodded and replied in unison, "Uh-huh." ”

"I've heard the saying that the demon god dedicates his power to the land, but what is he going to do?" Ke Qing saw what Xiangling was going to say, and hurriedly asked Gechenlang City.

Gechenlang City Zhenjun glanced at Ke Qing with satisfaction, and said, "The dangers and tests faced by a piece of land are far more than you imagined. Droughts, floods, torrential rains, hurricanes... Earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, diseases. ”

"In the land of Liyue, disasters have never gone away. Troubles that did not arise in the past will be born in the future. Mortals have no immortal bodies, and they are most affected by these factors. ”

"It was he who accompanied you through the barren plains, to the port, to build houses, to make fires..."

"He was the one who lit Liyue's first night light, allowing the smell of food to waft into every household."

"You don't remember him anymore. But in the time when you still knew him, he was the closest immortal. ”

Gechenlang City Zhenjun said this, and his mood was a little low.

"Marcosius, the demon god of the hearth, was born from the spark struck by the collision of stones, and he is in charge of the fire and people's livelihood, and he is a demon god who loves humans."

"Thousands of years ago, the ancients expanded the city and established settlements on the plains, and named them Guiliji."

"The god of the stove cherishes the people's livelihood, and infiltrates thousands of households to help make fires and cook and help people reunite."

"However, a flood devastated their homes, and the flood destroyed Guiliji, forcing the residents to move south back to Liyue Harbor, a short journey with strong winds and rains."

"The immortals escorted the people for more than ten days, during which the god of the stove made an ancient delicacy consisting of naan and meat sauce that can dispel dampness and drive away cold, which is easy to carry."

"In the following centuries, when there were disasters and diseases on the earth, the god of the hearth no longer appeared frequently, but poured all his power into the land to quell all kinds of disasters."

"The Stove God's intellect has greatly decreased, and his body has become smaller, and when he finally said goodbye to us, he was no longer more than a man tall."

"He told the emperor and me about the dishes that brought happiness and the mystery of the fire, and he went to the mountains and forests, slept for a long time, and the god of the stove left this life, and the pot was born."

"On the day he woke up, he ate the spicy pork wotou made by the girl in yellow, and although he couldn't remember the past, he was still moved and decided to follow the girl."

"After the god of the stove quietly disappeared, every morning, the vendors began to set up stalls early to shout, and people went out to buy, build fires and cook, no different from the previous day."

"Because Liyue has always been like this, the wind and rain are still blessed, and the mountains and the sea are happy, which is the blessing of heaven and earth."

Ganyu listened to the narration of the true monarch of Gechenlang City, and slowly spoke: "The stars are moving, the vicissitudes of the sea, and the fireworks are still in the world." ”

Gechenlang City Zhenjun was stunned when he heard Ganyu's words, and immediately echoed with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Zhenjun." Keqing wanted to say something.

Gechenlang City Zhenjun waved his hand, looked at the pot in front of him and said slowly: "You mentioned to us that eating and drinking is a grand event in the world, because you have to eat the best aura, and you have to drink the essence of heaven and earth..."

"You said that this is the most important thing, and you have to eat a full belly in life to hurry. Eating and drinking can be small or big. ”

"Say small, you can take a handful of corn to taste, and draw sweet spring water on the stone; Say big, you can take a pot of stars and moon drinks, and walk the road of the world for thousands of years. ”

"Old friend, in the days you have been sleeping, Liyue has become so prosperous and beautiful. Are you happy? ”

Ying: "."

Although she usually has no heart or lungs, Ying is also a little sad when she hears this at this time.

Xiangling listened to the words of the true monarch of Gechenlang City, looked at the pot not far away with a complicated face, and muttered: "Pot. Why don't you tell me about such an important matter?"

Guoba: "Lu~"

Paimon explained, "He's not what he used to be, he can't even speak, he can't tell you..."

"Pot. You, you. Alas! Xiangling wanted to say something, and after brewing for a long time, it only turned into a sigh in the end.

Keqing: "Xiangling."

"Don't be sad, Xiangling. There are two sides to everything, although the pot is not as intellectual as before, but it also throws away its troubles and is truly carefree. Gechenlang City Zhenjun said comfortably to Xiangling.

But the way she looks at this time speaks in the same way as before, giving people a strange feeling.

"Between heaven and earth... How can there be a person who is free from troubles? We have the knowledge and the mind, and we are naturally confused about all kinds of things. ”

Paimon listened to Gechenlang City's true monarch's words, scratched his head and said, "But I think tassels are quite happy?" ”

"Paimon, you don't understand, there are a lot of things to do, you think like you, you know how to eat, and you're the one who doesn't have to worry about it." Ying listened to Paimon's words and complained dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes?" Paimon didn't get angry, but scratched his head in embarrassment.

"But he has gone further than us, with both wisdom and courage. Picked it up and put it down again. Now this relaxed body is proof that he is resting. ”

"If you treat him well, you should take care of him more, walk with him, eat, drink and be merry."

Xiangling listened to the words of Gechenlang City Zhenjun, nodded seriously, and said, "I will!" I will definitely do it."

Ke Qing said with a smile: "Xiangling, you are a person with immortal fate. The pot follows you as a recognition of you. ”

"I just woke up from a long sleep, and I found a familiar taste in a spicy meat nest..."

"Even after all that time, he still remembers the dish he invented and recognized the dish you made."

Gechenlang City Zhenjun echoed with a smile: "Yes, when you eat hometown food, you will think of your hometown, even if you can't remember the past, Guoba will eat the dishes you made absolutely kindly, so I followed you." ”

Suddenly, a force slapped on the true monarch of Gechenlang City, staggering her, and the sound of flowing clouds followed.

"Ah Ping, what are you talking about, I heard you here from afar."

"Liuyun, you." was suddenly made like this, and the feelings brewing in her heart were gone, which made Ah Ping look at the arriving Liuyun angrily.

"Liuyun Zhenjun, are you here?" Paimon shouted in surprise.

"I noticed the breath of my old friend, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect that Ah Ping was here for a long time." Liuyun glanced at Ah Ping and said nonchalantly.

This expression made Ah Ping's blood pressure rise sharply, and she felt that Liuyun was even more indebted now than before, and every time she was with her, the other party could successfully provoke her anger.

Ah Ping felt that her qi was young and young, and she couldn't maintain the previous state of being in a waveless state.

Ah Ping said unconvinced: "You are the one from Balabala, I am talking to them about the deeds of Marcosius, the god of the stove, how did you become Balabala?" ”

"I understand everything, but Marcosius is fine, he's doing well, isn't he? You're going to worry about it. Liuyun said.

"Lou!" Hearing Liuyun's words, Guoba's eyes flashed, and he nodded happily, although it was only for a moment, but it was still captured by Liuyun.

Liuyun smiled and said, "Look, the pot agrees with what I said." ”

"You, alas." Ah Ping had a bitter face, she had no way to take Liuyun, otherwise she would have done it a long time ago, if she had the strength, she would definitely let her see how powerful the so-called Grandma Ping's shock wave was.

After seeing that the two were talking, Xiangling proposed: "Although Dad may have heard about it, I also have to go home to report the good news." Speaking of which, Master hasn't been to our house for dinner for a long time, why don't we go back together? ”

"Dad has always remembered you very much, and always asked me to invite you to sit at home."

"But I'm like this now." Ah Ping said this, looking at Xiangling with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, Master is an immortal, and Dad has seen a lot of immortals, so it's fine." Xiangling replied with a smile.

"That's right, what are you doing slowly, the dishes in Wanmintang taste good, I can't wait, Xiangling, I agreed for her, let's go." Tassel walked up to Ah Ping, locked Ah Ping's neck and said to Xiangling.

Ah Ping, who knew that she couldn't escape, sighed and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
