Chapter 4 Famous Funeral Institutions
Although the Hall of Rebirth is located in a remote place, it is one of the oldest private institutions in Liyue Port.

When it was passed down to Hu Tao's generation, he was already the famous No.70 seventh-generation hall master.

Liyue respects rules and is religious.Liyue followed the rules and contracts during her life, but after her death, she needs a funeral with trivial rules that can be called strict.

Among them, there are different procedures and etiquettes for young people dying early, dying young, and dying old, and the rules and regulations are even more elaborate and stricter than the laws of Liyue Port.

Looking at the entire Liyue Port, the Hall of Rebirth is the only funeral institution that is unanimously recognized by all Liyue people.Not only because of its age and authority, but also because it has not made a single mistake in the past thousand years.

Although. The contemporary hall master, Hu Tao, is a bit eccentric, and her reputation in Liyue is very strange.

But people still firmly believe in the business level of Xiangshengtang.

In the hall of death.

"Uh-huh?"

Hu Tao wore the ancestral Qiankun Taigua hat, and swayed on the chair while muttering.

And Zhongli just sat on the opposite chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, savoring it carefully, as if he didn't see what Walnut was doing at all.

"Hey. Alright!"

After a while, Hu Tao jumped up, excitedly grabbing the shiny unknown object in his hand.

But then the chair trembled.

At this time, a voice came from outside the gate of the Hall of Rebirth:
"Thank you, Lao Meng, is the walnut in there? Oh yes, is Mr. Zhongli there too? Yes, I understand."

This voice is. Ningzhe!

Walnut just put a smile on his face, but the chair couldn't smile anymore.

click -

"Hey?!"

With a snap, the walnut fell to the ground.

At the same time, the door of the Hall of Rebirth opened, and Lao Meng, Ning Zhe, and Ning Yu walked in talking and laughing.

"."

It was very quiet for a time.

Ningzhe's smile froze in an instant, but when he saw that there were not only walnuts lying on the ground in the hall, but also Zhongli who was calmly drinking tea, he had no choice but to pluck up the courage to speak:
"Uh, how are you two?"

Because the scene in front of him was too weird, Lao Meng on the side didn't dare to speak, and Ning Yu had already become paralyzed, so only Ning Zhe asked hesitantly: "Is this some new performance art?"

"Cough, please forgive me, guest."

Zhong Li put down his teacup, trying to defend Hu Tao: "The hall master is lively by nature."

"How did you come?"

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, I saw Hu Tao standing up like a carp, standing up like a thunderbolt, and said to Ningzhe: "Why don't you tell me in advance, so I can get ready."

Heh, let you get ready, how dare I come?
However, seeing Hu Tao reacted, Ningzhe also decided to swallow the scene he just saw.

"This time, I came here for business, so I was a little abrupt and hasty. I hope the hall master and Mr. Zhongli will forgive me."

Ning Zhe made enough salutes, and bowed to Zhongli.

At the same time, Ning Yu who was beside him also bowed lightly, and saluted Zhongli - but Ning Yu's etiquette was much higher than Ning Zhe's standard.

"Huh? Business?"

Hearing Ningzhe's words, Hu Tao rolled her eyes, and then said, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, as long as I can help."

Seeing this situation, Lao Meng quietly exited the door and closed the door.

Seeing Hu Tao being so easy to talk to, Ning Yu gave her a surprised look, but Ning Zhe was not surprised.

"Well, this matter was actually entrusted to me by Lord Tianquanxing Ningguang."

"Well, so you want to say that this is related to the exorcism hanging incense wood from Mond being stolen, and there is a high probability that the thief is an alchemist?"

After listening to Ning Zhe's narration, Hu Tao sat on the chair and shook her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Yes."

Ningzhe felt a little helpless. If it was an ordinary theft, it would be easy, but it was a gift from a neighboring country.Even though it was given to Tianquanxing alone, the Liyue Seven Stars are all Liyue's cards, and in a sense, they directly symbolize Liyue's image.

Once the theft incident is useless, not only will the neighboring country Mond lose face, but Liyue itself will also be affected.

What?Something was stolen?
Then your security measures, Liyue, need to be strengthened.

Such words were not what any Qixing wanted to hear.

"Actually, weeping wood itself does not have the effect of exorcising evil spirits, but it has strong elemental adaptability. The general spirit and strength can theoretically be attached to weeping wood."

After a while, Hu Tao spoke slowly: "In other words, since this weeping incense tree was sent by the Church of West Wind and claimed to have the effect of exorcising evil spirits, it must contain the power of the Church's faith."

"You mean we can find it through the power attached to it?"

Ningzhe caught the point of this sentence in an instant, but then he frowned: "But the West Wind Church believes in the God of Wind. If I remember correctly, it is a belief called freedom. There is such a thing as freedom. It has always been elusive, so how do we position ourselves?"

"Yes." Hu Tao nodded, earnestness written on her delicate face, "So this method is unreliable in a short period of time."

"What should I do?"

"But, since Lord Ningguang said that the suspect is most likely an alchemist, why don't we start with the alchemist directly?"

Hu Tao blinked her eyes, and there was a hint of cunning in her pupils like plum blossoms, "Although there are many alchemists in Liyue Port, only the heirs of those aristocratic families have this ability. As long as we find them, let alone find Chuxiangmu directly." , at least it will gain a lot."

"That's true."

Ningzhe nodded in agreement.

Ning Yu, who was at the side, was also carefully considering Hu Tao's suggestion, but soon raised a question: "But if they really made the move, how can we find them?"

"Isn't it better to explain the reason if you can't find it?" Ning Zhe said bitterly: "The group of successors are usually in Liyue Port, and they won't budge. If they lose contact suddenly, wouldn't they Does it mean that they must have something to do with this matter?"

"I see."

Ning Yu nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

"In fact, in addition to the ability to exorcise evil spirits, the exorcism weeping incense wood has a high collection value."

At this time, Zhongli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "This piece of wood from Mengde is a rare century-old fragrance."

"You mean, the one who made the move might not be from the alchemist family?"

Hearing Zhongli's implication, Ningzhe frowned and asked, "How can an ordinary businessman steal this thing in full view?"

"Everyone in the world is clamoring for profit. Liyue is a kingdom of merchants."

After saying this, Zhongli looked at Ningzhe and showed a gentle smile: "The book last time was well written. It has unconstrained imagination and is not divorced from reality. It deserves a good word."

"Thank you, sir, for being able to appreciate it."

Ningzhe's reaction was quick, he was stunned for a moment and then he immediately came to his senses.

"Oh, you don't have to care about what Old Antique said, there are so many things in his head! Let's go find those alchemists now." Hu Tao jumped off the chair and ran in front of Ning Zhe, took his hand.

"it is good."

Ning Zhe nodded in agreement, and quietly withdrew his hand from Hu Tao's ruthless iron grip.

"Since we are looking for an alchemist, where do we start?"

"Where to start looking"

Hu Tao shook his head, then smiled, "I'll start with an old friend of yours."

"Old friend?" Ningzhe was taken aback for a moment before he realized, "He, it's true."

Who is he?
Who else could it be, nothing more than the alchemist with the body of pure yang—Chongyun Bai.
