Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 12
Perhaps because of apology to Wang Daoyi for experimenting with the ice mist-mint cake, Xiangling readily agreed to Wang Daoyi's request.A bag of nuts brought by Wang Daoyi was made into nut crisps, and he also thoughtfully helped Wang Daoyi pack it and put it in a gift box.

"Zhongli Keqing from Xiangshengtang is a very picky guy. Not only is he fastidious, he can also pick out my problems to the point. The first dish I served him that day [salt and pepper tofu], he just tasted it. After taking a sip, I asked me what kind of salt I used, and then I said, why not try the sea salt extracted from the shallow sea of ​​Guyun Pavilion, its layered texture can give more umami to the tofu!"

When mentioning Zhongli, Xiangling was entangled with admiration.

"For this reason, I specially asked Sister Beidou to bring me back the sea salt extracted from the shallow sea of ​​Guyun Pavilion. After trying it, the taste is really different. Tell me, isn't he amazing!"

After receiving the gift boxed nut cakes handed over by Xiang Ling, Wang Dao nodded a little:
"Of course he is amazing. Mr. Zhongli is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met, so I need to prepare a gift to visit him!"

"I'm leaving first, I may not come to eat at noon, come again in the evening! Goodbye crispy rice!"

"Okay, Brother Daoyi, go slowly!" "Lu~"

Xiangshengtang is located between Chihuyan and Feiyunpo. The side of Xiangshengtang is on the side of the mountain. In front of the door is a mountain stream. The water from the mountain stream flows directly into Yunlaihai. Looking up from here, you can see the high Yujing Terrace.

The building of Xiangshengtang is actually similar to other buildings in the Drum Tower District of Feiyunpo. They are all in the same style. There is a big signboard with flying dragons and phoenixes hanging on the door, with the words "Qingshengtang" written on it.

Even though it is in the busiest area of ​​Liyue, Feiyunpo and Chihuyan, Xiangshengtang can still be said to be deserted, except for the white cat squatting on the stone bench at the door, there are almost no other people except the staff. creature.

According to the customs of Liyue people, most people don’t want to come here when they have nothing to do. After all, Xiangshengtang is a combination of funeral parlor + Yizhuang. There were rumors of haunting before, which made outsiders even more reluctant close here.

Wang Daoyi has nothing to fear, after all, it has been explained in the game that there are no ghosts in the Hall of Resurrection, only the lovely walnut.

in the hall of rebirth

The lovely Hall Master Hu was sitting on an old man's chair bored.

The last time I went to the Adventurers Association to promote the adventurer package of the Rebirth Hall, after being rejected by the branch president of the Liyue Adventurers Association, Miss Lan, Hall Master Hu received a warning from the General Affairs Department at the same time.

Recently Seven Stars has received a large number of complaints from citizens, saying that the current hall owner of the Hall of Rebirth is advocating the terror of death and threatening the citizens to buy the set meals of the Hall of Resurrection, which has caused a lot of trouble to the citizens.

Although Qixing, as the ruler of Liyue, is very familiar with the business and responsibilities of the Hall of Death, Qixing still punished the citizens for their complaints.

The lively and lovely Master Hu was grounded. According to the fine issued by the Department of General Affairs, Hu Tao was banned for 7 days, and he was not allowed to go to the streets to promote the business of the Church of Life. Currently, all the business of the Church of Life is handed over to other guards of honor and guests.

Hu Tao, who was confined at home, stared blankly at the gate of the Pastoral Hall. The little white cat at the gate stretched comfortably, changed its posture, and continued to enjoy the morning sun.

Suddenly, Hu Tao seemed to hear someone calling her.

No, it's not like, someone really came to the door!
Shaking his head, Hu Tao looked at the boy who delivered him in surprise.

"Oh, welcome to the Hall of Rebirth, guest officer, is there anything I need? The Hall of Resurrection has a big discount, buy one get one free now!"

Wang Daoyi looked at the girl in front of him who suddenly became very excited, and his expression became a little strange. Although he knew Hall Master Hu was very persistent in promoting the business of Xiangshengtang, but he was promoted face to face, and he bought one and got one free. A broken dimension feeling.

"Master Hu, you're being polite. I'm Wang Daoyi. I came here today to ask Mr. Zhongli about something. I don't know if Mr. Zhongli is here."

As soon as Wang Dao raised his hand and saluted, he said the purpose of this.

Seeing that they are not real customers, Hu Tao is not disappointed. After all, in Hu Tao's eyes, there are only current customers and future customers. After all, Xiangshengtang is Liyue's monopoly industry.

"Zhongli, he went out to sell business in the morning, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the Hall of Rebirth, and Zhongli will be back at noon!"

Hu Taomeihua turned her eyes and informed Wang Daoyi of Zhongli's whereabouts, and suggested that Wang Daoyi wait in the Hall of Rebirth.

Wang Daoyi didn't think much about it, rather than going outside to look for Zhongli, he was more inclined to wait for Zhongli to come back in the Hall of Rebirth.

"If that's the case, let's bother Hall Master Hu. This is a bit of pastry. Please accept it from Hall Master Hu. It's the cost of my tea!"

Wang Daoyi didn't see Zhongli directly, and Wang Daoyi couldn't bear to wait at his house with a gift box, so he simply handed the gift box to Hu Tao.

Only then did Hu Tao see that Wang Daoyi was still carrying a gift box.

"Hey, this is Xiangling's gift box!" Hu Tao looked at the gift box carefully, and found that it was different from the usual gift box, with the mark of Wanmintang on it.

"Does Master Hu also know Xiangling?"

"Of course, Xiangling's cooking is delicious. In my opinion, Liuliting Xinyuexuan is not as good as Xiangling's boiled fish and shrimp dumplings. Moreover, Xiangling is so fun. It's easy to jump when you touch it. I was bluffed. In our profession, I like this kind of person the most. But we must also pay attention to propriety, after all, the crispy rice will make Xiangling stand out."

Speaking of Xiangling, Hu Tao showed a happy smile. As the hall master of the past life hall, there are not many people who can be friends with her, and Xiangling, who also has the eyes of the fire god, is her good friend among her peers.

Wang Daoyi nodded in agreement. After half a month of contact, Wang Daoyi also felt that Xiangling could be easily bluffed.

In the past half month, Wang Daoyi told Xiangling about his adventures in Mond, Xiangling believed it completely without any doubt.

This lovely girl never seemed to think that anyone would tell a lie to her.

The two chatted happily about Xiangling's topic.

As time passed, the two chatted more and more speculatively, and the feeling of being a little strange disappeared completely.

Gradually, the topic is no longer limited to the story of Hu Tao tricking Xiangling and being hunted down by rice cakes. The topics of life, old age, sickness and death also appeared between the two of them.

"Brother Dao, it's a pleasure chatting with you, unlike other people who are always full of fear of death."

When Hu Tao talked about death, he always looked indifferent.

"I am the No.70 Seventh Generation Hall Master of the Past Life Hall, and my grandfather is the No.70 Fifth Generation. My first job after taking office is to hold a funeral for my grandfather."

Saying that, Hu Tao took a look at Wang Daoyi, and Wang Daoyi also showed a surprised expression appropriately.

"Isn't it surprising? Oh, I've been working in this industry for several years without knowing it. How time flies!"

Wang Daoyi looked at Hu Tao, and when he talked about holding a funeral for his grandfather, there was no sad expression on Hu Tao's face.

Perhaps in this girl's eyes, the definition of death has always been different, or maybe the girl no longer expresses sadness to outsiders.

"Talking with the hall master also benefited me a lot. The hall master's definition of death is refreshing, and it is worth thinking about carefully!"

Wang Daoyi really thinks that Walnut's definition of death is worth thinking about.

Yin and Yang are orderly, fate is impermanent, and death is unpredictable, but it also has its rules. No matter when and where, no matter what the reason, people should not easily provoke death. Only by knowing and respecting it can we understand the meaning of life. value!
This is one of Walnut's definitions of death. Walnut believes that people should not avoid death or resist death, but accept it, understand it, and face it squarely, so that they can live better, seize time, and live better.

Wang Daoyi was not a philosopher in his past and present lives, so he couldn't judge whether Hu Tao's views were correct, but he appreciated Hu Tao's optimistic attitude.
