Explorer of Teyvat

Seeing the ferocious black afterimage, Paimon was a little scared and shrank behind Wang Daoyi.

"Dao Yi, what is this? It looks so scary."

Wang Daoyi looked calm and looked at Mandrill with a touch of concern in his eyes: "That is the enemy Mandrill faces, the Demon God's Resentment."

During the Demon God War, countless demon gods died on this land. Their bodies were torn apart and their souls were scattered, but their resentment has not dissipated after thousands of years.

"Is this what Mandrill fights with every day?"

Unlike ordinary monsters, the evil and twisted look of the demon's resentment just now really scared Paimon, and even Ying was a little uncomfortable with it.

"Ha, this is just the most common resentment of the demon god. It's garbage that can't even be condensed into a complete form. Mandrill can solve it with just one shot. This kind of thing can let out the wail of a loser before it dies."

Wang Daoyi smiled disdainfully, and then continued: "Mandrill is a yaksha, the great sage who conquers demons! The real threat to mandrill is the existence that can condense the projection of the devil after thousands of years of wear and tear. That kind of thing is not good. Deal with it.”

"It's not that difficult. It's just a matter of working hard. Besides, if this kind of existence appears, other immortals will help me."

Mandrill on one side took back Puyuan, heard Wang Daoyi's words, and answered them casually.

Regarding Wang Daoyi, he was not as indifferent as he was to outsiders.

"Oh, fight hard. How long can you fight now?" In Wang Daoyi's eyes, golden gnosis flowed, and he saw the terrifying karma behind Mandrill.

These karmic obstacles are like the raging waves of the angry sea, extremely fierce and endless, and they are like the chains that bind the immortals, binding the mandrill to death.

Mandrill was indifferent, paused, and replied: "Keep fighting!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ying didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Isn't it true that even Zhongli can't solve Mandrill's problems?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head and said nothing more.

If Morax can solve the problem of karma, then the Yaksha clan will not be left with only Mandrill, the Yaksha general.

Wang Dao's golden gnosis flashed slightly, thinking of Barbatos.

That guy once used the sound of a flute to save a mandrill who was possessed by evil spirits. He must have the authority regarding souls and purification. I really want to study it.

In the haziness, Wang Daoyi seemed to hear a "hey" laughter coming from his ears.

The golden gnosis dissipated immediately, and Wang Daoyi broke out in a cold sweat. He actually wanted to peek at Barbatos' authority just now. To restrain his emotions, Wang Daoyi secretly saluted in the direction of Mond.

Mandrill saw Wang Daoyi's movements, and there was some thought in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's almost time. Let's go back to Wangshu Inn first. Yan Xiao should have prepared the food."

——

Had a silent lunch with Mandrill.

After the meal, Paimon and Ying whispered for a while, and then told Wang Daoyi: "Daoyi, if you have anything to do, go back first. Paimon and I are going to stay here for one more day."

"Huh? Why." Wang Daoyi was a little curious.

"Hehe!" Paimon looked excited, "Ying and I just discussed that since Mandrill can't go to Liyue Port to celebrate the Hailantern Festival, then we will move the Hailantern Festival here!"

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi became even more curious, "What are you going to do?"

Naturally, he would not think that Ying and Paimon were capable of transferring Liyue Port, so they must have come up with some trick idea.

"Hey, we think that the Hai Lantern Festival is about everyone dressing up, eating together, and watching Xiao Lanterns together, so Ying and I are going to dress up Wangshu Inn, and then cook a meal for Mandrill. Make some sky lanterns.”

Paimon raised her head proudly, revealing her small chin. It was obvious that she had credit for this plan.

Wang Daoyi couldn't help but laugh. Such an innocent idea could only be imagined by Ying and Paimon.

But there is no denying that maybe this seemingly innocent and idiotic thing can really open Mandrill's heart!

"Okay, then I'll leave first. Do you need me to pick you up later?"

Wang Dao clapped his hands and opened a ground channel.

Ying shook his head: "No need, Wangshu Inn has an anchor point, I can just go back when the time comes."

Wang Dao nodded and walked directly into the earth channel. Then the channel closed, leaving Ying and Paimon behind.

Back in Liyue Port, Wang Daoyi found that he suddenly seemed to have nothing to do.

Let's go to Xiaoshi. Almost all of the Shibo statues were sold yesterday, and there are still a few left that need to be given away. Ningguang, Uncle Tian, ​​and other friends all want to give away some.

Go help Xiang Ling. With Guo Ba here, he can't seem to do anything, and it also affects Xiang Ling's performance.

The other friends seemed to have something to do, and Xingqiu Chongyun also went home and didn't know what they were doing. It was probably related to the immortal.

As for Keqing, I don’t know where to go after meeting her last time.

"How about going to Yunhan Club to listen to a play?"

As soon as Wang Dao was thinking about it, he heard waves of cheers coming from the pier.

When I went out curiously, I thought, hey, don't go to Yunhan Club either. I saw Xin Yan setting up a stage at the pier and singing, and the most excited audience in the audience was none other than Yun Jin.

These two, one is the most traditional opera performer in Liyue, and the other is the most open rock creator in Liyue. According to the general story, they should be rivals, but the reality is that many people can't believe it. , the two became good friends who talked about everything.

Originally, Xin Yan thought that Yun Jin, as the heir to the Yunhan Club and the leading opera troupe of the Heyu Tea House, would like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Suddenly, for a period of time, Xin Yan discovered that this person actually appeared at her concerts every now and then. Later, Xin Yan learned that Yun Jin was a very open-minded opera singer. Not only did she have no "preconceptions" about rock music, , but I like it very much.

At that time, Xin Yan realized that the other party did not have a "prejudice" against her, but that she had misunderstood the other person's interests and hobbies because of the "prejudice".

As a result, the two most extreme music artists in Liyue naturally became good friends.

Liyue is an ancient country. This ancientness makes most people here like some soothing and soft music, but Xin Yan's music is too noisy for most Liyue people, until Xin Yan found his own performance venue - ——Workers’ Wharf in Liyue.

Most of the people here are laborers and sailors. After a hard day's work, most of them want to vent their suppressed emotions. At this time, opera cannot fulfill their requirements, but Xin Yan's hot rock music can, and they will follow Xin Yan's rock and roll jumps, shouting to Xin Yan's rhythm.

Until the end of the song, the performer and the listener were breathing heavily together, venting their depressed emotions and feeling relaxed.

Seeing that Xin Yan's performance was very successful, Wang Daoyi did not interrupt and just listened quietly.

Unlike most people who vent their emotions in rock music, Wang Daoyi intuitively felt the spirit of resistance in Xin Yan's songs.

This kind of resistance is silent, silent, persistent, and unobtrusive.

But it is there, just waiting for you to feel it. It will tell you to persist, to work hard, to struggle, and not to be knocked down by other people's [prejudices] about you.

[Resistance] and [Stereotype]

This is what Wang Daoyi heard in Xin Yan's rock music.

Xin Yan sang one song after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was also surged one after another.

It wasn't until the sky gradually dimmed that the management staff at the dock from the General Affairs Department came over to inform that the reported performance time had expired.

Despite everyone's lingering efforts, Xin Yan still chose to end the performance.

The spirit of resistance she expresses is to resist other people's negation, to resist other people's prejudices, and to resist bad things.

Instead of rebelling against contracts, regulations, and organizations.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Wang Daoyi approached the two girls.

"It's really good, Xin Yan, your performance is really good." Wang Daoyi praised.

"Hey, it's Daoyi. You're so honored." A smile appeared on Xin Yan's dark face. It was obvious that her performance was recognized, which made her a little happy.

Wang Daoyi shook his head seriously: "It's not an award. The spirit of resistance in your songs is just like the heroic stories I read in Mondstadt. They all deserve to be sung."

"Mond's heroic story? Oh, Daoyi, you mean the legend of Vanessa, haha, I also like this story of resistance very much." What Wang Daoyi didn't expect was that Xin Yan actually knew Vanessa Legendary story.

He nodded immediately, with recognition in his eyes: "Yes, whether it is the story of Vanessa Legend or your rock, I can feel the power of resistance, which shows that your rock is the same as Vanessa Legend. They are all excellent works and deserve to be sung.”

Xin Yan was moved and covered her face, coughing, maybe she was shy.

She has never been so highly regarded.

Yun Jin next to her smiled: "Daoyi, you really know how to praise people. No wonder you deceived Xiangling."

"Haha, Xiang Ling and I are attracted to each other. Moreover, I didn't praise just now, but told the truth." Wang Daoyi waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, okay, stop boasting, Xin Yan almost doesn't dare to speak." Yun Jin quickly stopped the topic, "Do you have any plans for the Hai Lantern Festival tomorrow?"

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I don't know yet. Anyway, I listen to Xiang Ling. She can do whatever she wants."

Yun Jin nodded, understanding, it was another henpeck.

"I know, then I'll go find Xiang Ling and make an appointment. Let's go to the pier under Feiyun Slope to watch the sky lanterns together tomorrow."

"Of course I have no problem. The more people there are, the more lively it will be."

That night,

Xiangling finally finished her last day in Xiaoshi. Tomorrow is the Hai Lantern Festival, so she can have a good rest.

Wang Dao and others moved a lot of kitchen utensils and supplies from Xiaoshi back to Wanmintang.

"How will you spend tomorrow?" Wang Daoyi reached out and wiped the sweat from Xiang Ling's forehead.

Xiang Ling blushed, and also stretched out her hand to straighten the wrinkles on Wang Daoyi's clothes left by moving the goods just now.

"Yun Jin and the others came to see me just now and said they would watch the Sky Lantern together tomorrow night."

"That's not bad. Then we can also make a wish under the sky lantern."

"What wish does Brother Daoyi want to make?"

"Haha, whatever wish you want, I will wish for."

"Oh, brother Dao Yi, you are evil!"

Xiangling's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, she weakly punched Wang Daoyi with her fists, and then ran into the back hall.

Wang Daoyi:? ? ?

Being confused by the shy Xiang Ling, Wang Dao sorted out the affairs of Wan Min Tang, then said goodbye to Guo Ba before leaving here.

Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi appeared at Wanmin Hall on time. This early in the morning, Master Mao had already hung up the colorful ribbons and raised the fish lanterns.

Not only Wanmin Hall, but also the entire Chihu Rock and even the entire Liyue were shrouded in color. The festive atmosphere that had been brewing for several days reached its peak on this day.

"Daoyi is here. Have you eaten? If you don't want to eat, go to the kitchen to eat some, and then come and post a couplet for me. It's really hard for me to handle this thing alone, and Guobao can't help."

Master Mao pointed to the couplets on the table.

"Haha, just leave it alone, I'll come later."

"You can come, that's fine. Remember, this [heaven and earth and the prosperity of the family] is the first couplet, [peace and blessings will bring blessings to everyone] is the second couplet, and the horizontal line [peace of the four seasons] should not be pasted crookedly."

Master Mao gave a few more instructions.

Wang Daoyi had already reached the kitchen door: "Okay, don't worry."

"Okay, then I'll go out for a while. Be careful when you put it on so you don't drop it."

After saying that, he went out the door

It's the Lantern Festival, and Wanmintang is not doing business, so there is no problem in leaving only Wang Daoyi.

He opened the lid of the pot, took out a few big buns, and handed one to Guo Ba. Then he squatted at the door of Wanmin Hall and started to eat: "What did you think Xiang Ling did? Why didn't I take you with me?"

"Lulie~"

"Oh, I went to bless Grandma Ping for the Hai Lantern Festival. You didn't have time to get up." Wang Daoyi said thoughtfully.

Guo Ba: "Luh?" How did you understand it at this time?

"You're asking me how I understand it. I don't know. It's probably because my soul has almost completed its deification."

In Wang Daoyi's perception, the divine gnosis left by Zhongli in his soul continued to emit golden light, and his originally milky white soul had almost completely turned into gold.

According to Zhongli, his soul was about to open the door called the Divine Road.

"I'm embarking on the divine path without even lighting up the six destiny stars. I must be the weirdest person."

However, Wang Daoyi is not worried and is ready to embark on the path of God.

Of course, deification of the soul, lighting up all the life stars, gaining authority, and then ascending to the throne of God was originally the path Zhongli prepared for him, and now it is also the path he wants to take.

Putting the big bun in his hand into Guo Ba's mouth, Wang Dao stood up and had to work.

Wisps of rock elements turned into fine chains, rolling up the couplets on the table and floating behind Wang Daoyi.

"Oh, let's stick the couplet on it first." He reached out and pointed on the ground, and the rock steps rose up like steps. As soon as Wang Dao walked up, he could just stick the couplet on the high place of the door frame, without using anything like a ladder at all.

Then follow the same pattern and post a second line.

Finally, standing in front of the door, the rock elements surged, and the stone pillars rose under his feet. He raised Wang Daoyi to the appropriate height, and stretched out his hand to affix the horizontal batch.

After getting down from the rock pillar, he waved his hand to disperse the strong rock elements. Wang Dao took a look at the couplet. Well, it was perfect.

"Papa papa~" There was applause from behind. Wang Dao turned around and saw, good guy, it's Zhongli.

"Why is guest Zhongli still free to wander around? Isn't there any work in the Hall of Rebirth?"

"The hall owner asked me to come out and sell some seasonings. Among them, I couldn't find camellia oil, so I came to Wanmin Hall to have a look."

"Camellia oil?" Wang Daoyi thought for a while, then nodded, "Master Mao brought back some when he went to Qiaoying Village last time. The Xiangling must not be used up yet. I'll go look for it for you."

Zhongli also followed him into the kitchen.

Watching Wang Daoyi rummaging for camellia oil, Zhongli said: "It seems that your soul has completed its deification."

"Thanks to you, it has indeed been completed." Wang Dao continued to rummage in the cupboard without looking back.

"Oh, it seems that after the Sea Lantern Festival, you will have to embark on a journey to the Star of Destiny. Do you have any ideas?" Zhongli asked while watching Wang Dao rummaging through the boxes.

Opening another cabinet casually, Wang Dao took a closer look: "I want to go to Xumi first to see if I can find the relics of the Red King. Then there are some secret places in Mondstadt that can be explored. Ina Wife's side, I'll wait until the traveler takes care of the general Thunderbolt, then go there, that knife is too scary."

Zhong Li shook his head helplessly: "Haha, even I don't dare to despise General Thunder and Lightning's martial arts. How dare you offend her."

Wang Daoyi rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, that's not an accident. I can't watch Ying being killed by General Thunder."

"Haha, you, the traveler's journey has just begun and will not end. However, it is a good thing that you can participate in it instead of staying out of it like before." Zhongli said pointedly.

"Ah???" Wang Daoyi was shocked.

With a slight smile, Zhongli looked into Wang Daoyi's eyes: "Ha, you are also a part of her journey. From now on, no matter what happens, there is no need to avoid her, just let yourself leave a lasting impression in her eyes."

After saying that, he regained his composure: "How's it going? Did you find it?"

Wang Dao nodded and took out a porcelain bottle: "I found it. There are quite a few left. You can take them all. No one in Wanmin Hall will use this thing."

Xiangling tried it a few times, but unfortunately, she couldn't come up with a better recipe. Then she started to be busy with the Hai Lantern Festival, so the camellia oil was temporarily abandoned.

Zhongli got the camellia oil and left without explaining the meaning of his words.

However, although Wang Daoyi is curious, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, he also likes to be the Riddler, so this time he will be the Riddler.

Time passed little by little, and when Wang Dao cleaned up Wanmin Hall, Master Mao and Xiang Ling also came back.

"Happy Hai Lantern Festival, Brother Dao Yi." Xiang Ling jumped on Wang Daoyi's back and put her arms around his neck.

Wang Daoyi quickly held Xiang Ling's body, and then replied: "Happy Hai Lantern Festival, Xiang Ling."

Master Mao by the door clenched his fists and finally let go.

【It’s a holiday today, just pretend you didn’t see it. 】

The old father pretended not to see it with tears in his eyes and walked straight into the back hall.

So, the young couple spent a lot of time making love to each other in Wanmin Hall.

Until he couldn't even stand the rice cake anymore, he came over and interrupted the two of them: "Lu Lie, Lu Lie, Lu Lie!"

"Huh?" Xiangling looked at Guoba doubtfully.

Wang Daoyi smiled: "Guo Ba said that Master Mao is busy in the kitchen alone, and we should go and help."

"Oh oh oh, yes, let's go help."

The two of them walked into the kitchen with the rice dumplings.

With everyone’s efforts (Master Chef Mao, head chef Xiangling Wangdaoyi)

A hearty lunch is ready.

During the meal, Master Mao suddenly said: "You guys... wait for two more years."

Wang Daoyi was stunned, Xiang Ling's face turned red suddenly, and steam came out of his head.

"Ahem, uncle, we haven't reached that point yet."

Master Mao nodded, as if I was here, don't try to lie to me.
