Yuanshen: Liyuegang Storyteller, Walnut Tears

Instead, carrying the thrush birdcage, he leisurely walked out of the gate of Xiangsheng Hall and went out for a walk with the birds.

Let Little Walnut sleep in the coffin for a while!

When the walking bird comes back, look for the little walnut that was hidden.

……

Since grandpa rejected the teahouse manager and refused to sell thrush birds.

Day by day time passed!

During this time, Grandpa Walnut would drink tea and listen to books in teahouses in his spare time as usual.

Every time I enter the teahouse, the stories told on the stage are the great deeds of the great rock king Dijun.

Grandpa is tired of hearing it!

Every time I entered the teahouse, I would meet the young man drinking tea and listening to the book, but he listened with great interest and never got bored.

Since refusing to sell the thrush.

When Grandpa Walnut met the "young" Morax again, he never gave him a good look.

Even for a few days, Morax took the initiative to talk, but Grandpa Walnut didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Morax was confused!

When did I provoke this strange old man?

In this way, several months passed.

Grandpa finally thought about it.

As if he had forgotten about that incident, he once again regarded the "young" Morax as a confidant, and often chatted with Morax from morning to night.

The more they talked, the more shocked Hu Tao's grandfather became.

This strange young man even knows the history of the establishment of the Hall of Rebirth?

Even know the things of ancient times?

In the process of chatting with Morax, Grandpa Walnut finally discovered that this "young man" is definitely not a bad person.

But a man who treats Mora like dung!

A man who sees power as dung.

Grandpa Walnut finally asked his most puzzling question: "Young man, what's your name? Maybe I still know your parents!"

Because of work!

Grandpa Hutao traveled all over Liyue, and was very familiar with many families.

As long as you say the name of the elder in the family, you may be an acquaintance.

Morax was taken aback when he heard that!

Elders in the family?

In Morax's memory, he has no elders!

As for his own name, he has already thought of a new name: "You can call me Zhongli, as for the elders in the family - I have no elders!"

He cannot reveal his name as Morax.

Therefore, when facing Grandpa Hutao, he used the name Zhongli.

Seeing Zhongli's indifferent expression, grandpa thought he had mentioned something sad about Zhongli.

So he comforted me and said: "Oh, at such a young age, the elders in the family are gone, so pitiful—even without family members to take care of you, you can still learn so much knowledge!"

"What an admirable person!"

"By the way, may I take the liberty of asking a question?"

When grandpa heard that Zhongli had no elders.

Occupational disease broke out, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.

Zhong Li was taken aback: "Eh?? If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me!"

Grandpa Hu Tao said solemnly: "Since all the elders in the family have passed away, will the funeral be held? I have professional funeral services here... [-]% off!"

No way, I have been doing funeral services all my life.

When someone said that an elder in the family passed away, I couldn't help but get an occupational disease attack.

Zhongli: "..."

With such a strange thought, even Zhongli, who is the emperor of Yanwang, couldn't react for a while.

I don't know how to answer!

Grandpa Walnut quickly said: "I'm sorry, I mentioned something that made you sad again. If it's not convenient to answer, you don't need to answer!"

Zhongli: "..."

After the two chatted for a while.

Grandpa Hu Tao spoke again, and asked the question he wanted to know the most, "Mr. Zhongli—Excuse me, do you have a job now? Do you work at Yujingtai?"

Yujing Terrace is where Liyue Qixing works.

Zhong Li shook his head slowly: "No, no job!"

Chapter 239 Taking Walnuts to Dig a Grave

As Liyue's Yanwang Dijun, he only appears once a year in the ceremony of inviting immortals, so it shouldn't be considered a serious job.

At best it is a part-time job!

Even though he only shows up once a year, Zhongli still feels tired.

about to rest!

Grandpa Hu Tao smiled and said, "Since you don't have a job, are you interested in being a guest at the Life Hall?"

Zhong Li shook his head slowly, and said indifferently: "If it's about booking a funeral, I'm interested—if it's about joining the Pastoral Hall, I'm sorry, I've been planning to rest for a while."

He just had the idea of ​​retiring in his heart, and he didn't want to find another job for himself.

Isn't it more comfortable to come to drink tea and listen to books when you have nothing to do?

At least no more wear and tear.

Grandpa Walnut sighed and said, "It's a pity, well, if you have funeral needs, you can come to the Living Hall to find me at any time, and I'll give you a [-]% discount!"

Zhong Li said indifferently: "I will!"

Grandpa Hutao: "Hahaha, let's talk about it, it's so late, I'm going home first—that girl Hutao is still hiding in the coffin, I have to find her out quickly!"

"Don't hold back!"

The voice just fell!

Grandpa Walnut glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside, and hurriedly left the teahouse.

Return to the Pastoral Hall.

Opening the coffins in the hall one by one, Grandpa finally smiled when he saw the walnut lying flat.

Hu Tao said happily: "Hey, I was found by grandpa again. Grandpa won!"

Grandpa stretched out his hand and patted Hu Tao's little head: "Haha, I've already prepared the meal, wash your hands and eat."

The two sat at the table, eating the most ordinary meals.

I was very happy in my heart.

How grandpa hopes that such days can go on forever.

At least let myself see Hutao grow up and take over the Xiangshengtang in a stable way.

But - as time goes by!

Grandpa, who is already old, still has to manage the entire business of the Hall of Death, make coffins by himself, and go out to promote the business.

The body has been getting worse and worse.

Grandpa had a premonition that he might not live for a few years.

then!

after eating.

Grandpa took Hu Tao's little hand and asked solemnly, "Little Hu Tao, do you want to learn about funerals?"

If Little Walnut is not interested in funerals, she doesn't want to do funeral work in the future.

Grandpa doesn't force butternuts either.

Hear grandpa's question.

Hu Tao smiled and said happily: "Of course I want to learn. Is grandpa finally going to teach me? Teach me quickly. When I learn it, I can help grandpa manage the business together."

Grandpa said happily: "Okay, grandpa will teach you now!"

The voice just fell!

Grandpa opened a box and took out several ancient books handed down by the ancestors from the box.

According to the knowledge in ancient books, he began to teach walnuts:

"This book is one hundred and eight ways to make a coffin. From design to material selection, from production to use, there are many rules, which are all set by the first generation hall master and the emperor."

"This book is about the specifications of the pit, as well as the etiquette of entering the soil, which is also the most important step!"

"This book is about the specific form of the funeral banquet. It has detailed regulations from setting the table to selecting dishes!"

……

It can be said that every step of the funeral has been determined to death by the ancestors.

What their generation has to do in the Past Life Hall is to hold the funeral in a complete manner in accordance with these already designed regulations.

After Grandpa finished introducing these ancestral ancient books.
