The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

The servants who were talking in low voices also attracted the attention of Ning Guang, who was sitting on the second floor terrace of Qun Yu Pavilion during the break, sipping tea leisurely. Unexpectedly, it was just because of his thoughts while tasting the crispy and juicy beef cake. Wanting to be able to eat it in the future, this distinguished guest who had a close relationship with the Xian family made a mess with the chefs he hired with a lot of money.

However, no matter how you think about it, this is beneficial to Liyue. The Ruotuo Dragon King who appeared in Liyue Port looks like Xia Yu's bodyguard no matter how you look at it.Although I don't know what kind of contract there is between them, as Emperor Yan Wang has left today, letting this outsider stand on the side of Liyue Port will naturally gain the support of many immortal families.

Therefore, no matter how you think about the deal of treating him as a distinguished guest of Qunyu Pavilion, you and Liyue are the sure winners.

Next was the traveler Ying whom Gan Yu went to find. Although the Fools and Executives had taken the lead, he believed that this girl who had helped Tevalin, the Dragon of Mondwind, should be able to distinguish right from wrong.

During the tea tasting, the chefs who brought the dishes to the stone table in the garden seemed to have completed their communication. Judging from the exquisite appearance of the dishes, today's chefs seemed to have made certain adjustments to the original style of the dishes. Adjustment.

It's quite interesting, so why not take a walk there yourself.Ning Guang stood up and walked leisurely towards the stairs.

One person cooks the food together, and the art-like dishes placed on the stone table make people salivate just by looking at them.

Crisp and tender green cabbage leaves are trimmed into extremely delicate pocket shapes. The ham is lightly roasted over low heat and has a slightly golden skin. The shrimps, which remain as tender as white jade after being simmered in water, are paired with brown, white and green colors. The dishes are particularly attractive, and the steaming jade assorted bag soaked with a layer of high-quality clear soup on the bottom of the plate is particularly appetizing just by looking at it.

"This is a jade assorted bag that I improved by combining the advantages of licai and lucai." Among the four chefs, the middle-aged man with a mustache was the first to explain his cooking with a confident look. "In my opinion, the original sweet taste of cabbage cooked in dashi is a good taste of the vegetable. The original addition of lotus seeds and Jueun pepper in Ricai destroyed this taste. Sweet scent."

"So I removed the slightly bitter lotus seeds and the pungent and spicy Jueyun pepper, and combined the semi-fat and lean ham with the tender shrimp often made in moong vegetables. The saltiness of the ham and the freshness and sweetness of the shrimp can perfectly complement each other. Paired with the sweet taste of cabbage, something like this..."

After picking up a jade bag and putting it into his bowl, the middle-aged man with a mustache first took a bite and tasted it, then picked up a small public spoon and scooped up a spoonful of clear broth and poured it in. Inside this jade bag.

"Try it like this."

Imitating the other party's method, he picked up a jade assorted bag and took a small bite. The sweetness of the cabbage and the deliciousness of the ham and shrimp immediately spread on the tongue. The fragrant and wonderful salty taste made Xia Yu couldn't help but squint. eyes.

After scooping up a small spoonful of the clear soup and adding it to the bag, Xia Yu put the remaining portion into his mouth, chewing slowly, and immediately admired the other party's profound basic cooking skills.

The portions of each raw material are so well matched, it's like tasting the best vegetable siomai, springy shrimps, ham with a slight jerky feel in a high-end clear soup with strong meat flavor. With the assistance of , an impact force like explosives was erupted.

At this time, the sweetness of the cabbage has turned into a small courtyard that can shelter from the wind and rain in the storm. Sitting in the courtyard and quietly watching the wind and rain scene has a unique taste.

"It's delicious! The layering and coordination of the flavors are great, and every ingredient is processed just right..." Just as Xia Yu was praising the dish along with the three chefs, he slowly came to the courtyard. The condensed light attracted the attention of everyone in the competition and the servants watching on the sidelines.

"Ning...Lord Ningguang!?"

The four chefs looked a little embarrassed when they opened the small stove but did not invite the jade pavilion masters to taste it together. Although Ningguang hadn't spoken yet, the chef closest to Ningguang had already pulled out his seat and faced forward. The boss who came was invited.

"It doesn't matter. Since the lunch table has been prepared, let's take advantage of the good weather to eat in the courtyard." Ning Guang, who was sitting on the stone seat, began to look at the dishes on the table. The exquisite shape and fragrance are more obvious than when observed from the second floor.When the bowls, chopsticks, rice, etc. were all brought to the table by the servants, just as Ningguang was about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, he jogged into the courtyard and attracted everyone's attention.

"Lord Ningguang, the traveler is here." Zhenhai, who delivered the news, brought the blond girl and Paimon who came to Qun Jade Pavilion to the garden. When they saw Xia Yu's figure, the blond girl and Paimon both revealed their faces. A surprised expression.

Why is Xia Yu here?And judging from this posture, Tianquan Xing Ningguang and these four very powerful-looking chefs seemed to be dining with Xia Yu.

And the dishes on this table all look so exquisite...

"Just in time, hello, travelers who have come all the way from Mondstadt, and welcome to the Jade Pavilion." After greeting her in that elegant tone, she noticed her eyes looking at the dishes on the table. He raised his hand to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

After raising his hand to signal Ying to sit on the empty seat next to him, Ning Guang said slowly: "I heard that you and Mr. Xia are both from Mondstadt. Judging from your expression just now, you should know each other. Why don't we chat while we eat? ,how?"

Well...no!Ying, who was about to agree, suddenly discovered that he was full once again.

More importantly, since this was the first time since he came to Liyue Port that he saw Zhongli, who had finally brought Maura with him, paying for a treat, he deliberately added an extra bowl of it during lunch. ...Ying, who felt extremely remorseful, wished she could give herself a slap in the face.

Why is the tragedy of the morning repeated again?

Chapter 86 Ying: Strike... 500 million will go immediately!

After the meal, Ying and Paimon, whose throats were almost filled with food, lay down directly on the bench in the garden. With their round bellies and rolled their eyes, Ning Guang, who had officially met them for the first time, was confused. He didn't know what to do. How to describe such a scene? After thinking for a while, Ningguang finally said: "Mr. Xia, these two friends of yours are really a bit...casual."

"It's just that this is a bit troublesome." A rather helpless look appeared on Ningguang's face. Ying, who was lying on the bench and sulking beside her, was really beyond her understanding.

"Originally, I planned to ask her to go to the Fools' stronghold we found south of Guiliyuan to prove our Liyue Seven Stars' position in this incident, but now..."

Ying, who will be in a semi-paralyzed state for at least an hour, will be unable to move. The game with the fools has begun, and no minute or second can be wasted.Although the relationship between him and Liyue Port is not considered his hometown, at least Ruotuo Dragon King will become his bodyguard after the incident in Liyue Port is over. It is better to help as much as possible. .

"Ying, why do you think you're eating so much... Now that you know that I'm temporarily staying in Qunyu Pavilion, if you want to eat something delicious, you can just come to me... Xia Yu, who asked the blond girl, found that the other girl turned her face away in an extremely angry manner, and her pouted mouth was fine even with an oil can hanging on it.

"I, I'm just angry..." Ying, who complained softly, became extremely aggrieved. "First I was deceived by Mr. Zhongli for some reason and said I was going to Mondstadt to verify the quality of the Yebo Stone. Fortunately, I met you and the immortal from Liyue on the way, and we completed the identification of the Yebo Stone on the way."

"Then, I was the one who boiled the ointment and offered it to me. I was the one who asked Grandma Ping to borrow a dust-cleaning bell and helped her clean the cave. It was me who negotiated the price with the workers. It was me who repaired the terminal. Apart from the one who paid, In addition to making kites, I feel like I have taken over the whole ceremony..."

"Although Mr. Zhongli is very knowledgeable, I was really tired after walking with him because of his money concept. I just missed the breakfast you made Xia Yu in the morning. I finally saw Mr. Zhongli at noon. He paid for me to have a meal as usual. As a token of my gratitude, Gan Yu came and told me that I wanted to come to Qun Yu Pavilion as soon as I finished eating."

"In the end, she left without even telling how to get to Qunyu Pavilion! After fumbling around, she met Yuheng Xing Keqing again near the terminal. She hurried back to Liyue Port and was finally ready. I came to Qunyu Pavilion with a suitable souvenir, but I saw you having a big meal again! I quit! I want to have a good rest for the afternoon and not think about anything!"

Two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of Ying's eyes and onto her clothes. The blond girl, who was balled up in grievance, turned her head to the inside of the bench. At any time.

It sounds... it seems really miserable.Ying, who had all her quills erect like a curled up hedgehog, closed her eyes and gave up communication completely. She looked so messed up that Xia Yu didn't know how to persuade her.

"It seems that we, Liyue Seven Stars, have indeed lacked consideration." Ning Guang interjected at the side but could not attract the attention of the blonde girl. Looking at Ying who was like a child throwing a tantrum, Ning Guang continued with a smile: "Please The Immortal Ceremony is extremely important to Liyue, and the Immortal Ceremony must also be of the same quality..."

"Considering the important role you played in the Immortal Sending Ceremony, Traveler, in order to compensate for the negligence of our Liyue Seven Stars, I will compensate you for helping in the name of the Seven Stars... 500 million molas, how about it?"

"...How much?" It's like a player whose heart has stopped beating suddenly on the verge of sudden death when he hears, 'You've hit all five of the golden weapons in the card pool with ten shots in a row! Suddenly he was full of blood and revived, and the large amount of wealth that fell from the sky immediately made Ying, who was lying in the corpse, turn around and sit up.Looking at Ning Guang, who looked confident, the blond girl's eyes instantly regained their luster.

"One million molas for one thing, 100 million molas in total. I wonder if this can satisfy you as a traveler compared to the compensation fee?"

Rich woman!The gloomy mood was immediately swept away, and the blond girl who was so happy that she wanted to jump up finally gave up the plan because of her uncomfortable stomach. "Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied!" The beaming Ying made Paimon beside him stunned.

"Ying, we haven't figured out the identities of these people in this matter yet... Ugh!" Paimeng warned in a low voice before he could finish his words before Ying covered his mouth.

"Hush!" Yingman reminded Paimon with a look of hatred for steel. After watching her little friend she picked up on the beach calm down, the blond girl reminded Paimon earnestly: " Paimon, think about it, who attacked Wendy in Mondstadt?"

"It's all fools... But hasn't 'Master' been helping us?"

"Then think about it carefully. Apart from us, where is Xia Yu's current position? And Ke Qing, who we met before the terminal, does she seem to be a rebel?" Two questions in succession. Paimon fell into silence.

It seems... there is some truth to it.

Xia Yu inherited the trait of being particularly friendly with non-humanoid creatures that he had always possessed. After coming to Liyue, he directly gained the favor of more than four immortals in Liyue.From the perspective of the camp, Xia Yu is now on the same side as the immortals. Even he recognizes the Liyue Seven Stars, at least the super rich Tianquan Star in front of him, so there must be no problem with this one. of.

There is also the Ke Qing who met before the terminal. The seemingly violent death of "You shouldn't rely too much on the Rock King Emperor" and "The era of the Emperor has passed" is directly regarded as rebellious in the eyes of ordinary Liyue people. The words made her seem innocent.She said this in front of Qian Yanjun. In other words, these ideas of Keqing should be known to everyone in Liyue Port, at least among the senior officials and the military.

On the other hand, the young master who has been providing connections and financial assistance to his group, first of all, is the Baiwu Tabu Lu that the immortals have said has not been seen in almost a hundred years. It seems that even Liyue's own people don't have this thing now. As the supreme Where did the Fool Executive of the Winter Country, whose age seemed to be not much different from Xia Yu, get these things?

Furthermore, the timing of his appearance every time was too coincidental, as if he was following himself and his wife...

"Just now you were talking about the ruins southeast of Guiliyuan, right?" Ying stood up and looked a little uncomfortable because he had eaten too much, but he still managed to walk to Xia Yu and Ningguang. "I'm going to go investigate now and treat it as an after-meal digestion exercise!"

Ying, who was full of energy, first looked at the anchor point of Huyan Square in Liyue Port. After waiting for the floating stone used by the dedicated pick-up and drop-off staff of Qun Yu Pavilion, Ying walked to the high platform of Qun Yu Pavilion and unfolded the wings of wind. He directly pulled Paimon and jumped down.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ying! Hurry up and master the balance... No, let me go!"

"No! Today's weight... fell off! Ahhh~~~"

If your condition is not good, don’t jump directly!

The two people's exclamations from mid-air made Xia Yu, who felt extremely speechless, slap his forehead with a slap.Looking at Feng Tuantuan who was lying on his shoulder and staring blankly at the position where Ying and Paimon jumped, Xia Yu said: "Go and help them..."

————————————————————————

The gentle breeze picked up the two people who were spinning and falling. The exclamations in the air stopped together with the chuckles of Ningguang on the side. They came to the terrace of Qunyu Pavilion and watched as they finally flew towards Liyue Harbor smoothly. The blond girl and Paimon left, and Xia Yu, who felt tired, let out a long sigh.

“Mr.If you think about it carefully, it seems that you did the same thing in the morning in order to experience the feeling of gliding in mid-air.

The condensed light looking at him made Xia Yu smile slightly awkwardly.

Paimeng, who had a mouth like a colander and couldn't control secrets, followed Ying and left. Now he had time to talk to Ningguang about some of his guesses when he met the young master in Bubulu.

"Miss Ningguang, judging from my actions this morning, I personally have some suggestions on the direction of intelligence gathering." Xia Yu, who made the suggestion, took a long breath when he saw Ningguang's obviously serious expression, and got rid of the remaining thoughts in his mind. Paimon and Ying's nonsensical behavior, after sorting out the key clues in his mind, Xia Yu calmed down and became much more serious.

"First of all, we met the executive officer of the Foolish People, Young Master, in Bubu House. From his behavior and the little guy on his shoulder, it was revealed that someone outside the house had been eavesdropping on our conversation in the room at that time. From two clues, we can conclude that the 'Master' still doesn't know that the extra 'power' he gained from Emperor Yan has been lost."

"In other words, 'Young Master' was the opponent in the emperor's assassination, but he was not the mastermind behind it. Also, Miss Ningguang, do you have any information about Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth?"

During the whole ceremony of sending immortals, if Xia Yu was asked about the person whose identity was most unclear to him, it would definitely be Zhongli, the guest from the Hall of Rebirth.

Judging from his appearance alone, Mr. Zhongli looks only a few years older than me, but the amount of knowledge he has inadvertently displayed can only be surpassed by those old scholars and professionals in the corresponding industry.

It can no longer be described as a genius. Apart from the concept of money, this mysterious Zhongli has reached the level of being so wise that he is almost a demon.Such a person is actually just a guest at the Purity Hall who is responsible for the funeral?

Then there is another doubtful point that seemed to be fine when we first met, but now that we think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of doubts - the meeting between Ruotuo Dragon King and Zhongli.

During the first meeting south of Guiliyuan, because Ying mentioned that they were preparing for the ceremony to send immortals, he was induced to summarize the matter of Dragon King Ruotuo chasing Zhongli to Zhongli's preparations. Unprofessional.

But if I think about it carefully now, Ruoduo Dragon King, who was still in the state of the ancient rock dragon lizard at that time, met Zhongli and shouted angrily, 'Morax! ’, and then chased after him.Tongying and Paimon's explanations happened at about the same time.

In other words, Ruo Tuo Dragon King is very likely to know Zhongli...

It's a bit subtle to think about it this way. One is that Mr. Zhongli is also one of the immortals. When he was sealed, among the immortals beside the rock god Morax, this Mr. Zhongli was the main force in the battle. .

The other one is a bit exciting. The reason why Ruotuo Dragon King chases Zhongli is because Zhongli is Morax himself...

If Zhongli was really Morax himself, why would he say goodbye to the humans and immortals in Liyue in this way thousands of years later?Wouldn't it be better to let the top management know in a subtle way like Wendy did, and then take a rest by yourself?

A god who has been fighting for Liyue for thousands of years, diligently controlling every level, formulating a development direction once a year, and bringing up Liyue Port and the people of Liyue Port like an old father, even if he His subordinate Qixing, the immortals and the people told him that he was tired. He could no longer hold on due to wear and tear and wanted to rest. I think everyone should be able to understand, right?

This is the problem that Xia Yu is currently most troubled by.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth definitely has a big secret.

"Mr. Zhongli, the guest from the Hall of Rebirth, is the one who proposed and prepared the ceremony for this immortal ceremony..." Ningguang frowned after hearing Xia Yu's proposal, as if he was thinking about something.

"Indeed, because the No. 70 seventh-generation master of the Rebirth Hall has too out-of-the-box thinking, the people of Liyue Port often let him handle various affairs when they hold serious weddings..." Qing Qing The ground tapped the stone table with the decorations on her fingernails. She was caught in the memories but did not show any surprise.

"Because I was a businessman before becoming Tianquan, and the most important thing for a businessman is intelligence. Therefore, I have never stopped collecting information about the more important people in Liyue Port. This Mr. Zhongli, he When I became a businessman, I already held the position of guest minister in the Hall of Purity."

"In my free time, I usually go to Huyan, listen to books, or go for a walk in Liyue Port. Since there are immortals living in seclusion among the people in Liyue Port, I am more inclined to think that he is one of these immortals. Like Grandma Ping in Yujingtai and Yan Fei who uses law as a weapon to protect the rights of Liyue people."

"Does the information related to Mr. Zhongli require further investigation..." Ningguang, who thought about it for a long time, finally nodded.

"I will ask my subordinates to pay attention to Mr. Zhongli's recent actions. Anyway, thank you Mr. Xia for your clues."

Chapter 87 Leisure travel is something that men cannot refuse

Returning to his guest room, Xia Yu, who was lying on the bed undressed after washing, discovered a fatal problem - boredom.

Different from the modern electronic communication technology and abundant entertainment facilities that can fill up your free time, in this era without even a TV, the only ways to pass the time are listening to operas, listening to books, walking birds, and other activities like Zhongli's choice. Had an outing.

But the problem is that it is better for me not to go to Liyue Port now...

The fact that Fa Shei, the ancestor of the Rock King, was transported to the Gold House must have been discovered by the young masters of the Fools, but the location of the Gold House is basically at the foot of Qunyu Pavilion, and because the Gold House belongs to the entire Teyvat Continent Mint reason.Therefore, the Golden House has always been heavily guarded by the Qianyan Army. It is almost an impossible task for the executive officer of the Zhidong Kingdom's Fools, Young Master, to break through directly without attracting the attention of Liyue's high-level combat forces.

This also means that before Dragon King Ruotuo returns from handling matters, the current situation in Liyue Port is really not suitable for him to wander around in the port. The reason is also very simple and clear.

What is the most effective way for the young master to enter the golden house?That is to provoke a conflict between the Qianyan Army in Liyue Port and the Zhidong Kingdom's staff stationed in Liyue. In order to further guide public opinion, it must be the Qianyan Army who initiates the attack.And now the young master has a unique advantage, that is, the assassination of Emperor Yanwang.

For the people of Liyue who have become accustomed to walking with the gods, the existence of Emperor Yan is their backbone. As long as this news is spread and arouses discussion, the people of Liyue who pursue the truth will inevitably put pressure on Qianyan. Jun and Liyue Qixing.Because in everyone's hearts, no matter how high the status of the Liyue Seven Stars is, they cannot be compared with the Rock King Emperor.

In other words, although Liyue Port still looks so calm at the moment, the turbulence hidden under the calm water may surge out at any time. Although he cannot be the main target of provoking trouble and attack, But what if the subsequent conflict affects me?

If you want to ensure safety, the easiest way at present is to stay in Qunyu Pavilion until the powerful bodyguard Ruotuo Dragon King returns.

Although safety has been ensured, it's so boring to lie down like this... The exchange between the chefs has ended. Several chefs are still busy making meals for the entire Qun Yu Pavilion, so it is not appropriate to waste their time any longer.If I suddenly join their already skilled cooking team, it will disrupt the original rhythm. If I want to help, I shouldn't do it here.

After summarizing the results of today's cooking exchange, Xia Yu raised his head and looked at Feng Tuantuan, who was lying on the wooden bed. The little guy's usually big round eyes were drooping feebly at this time, and his white little wings were also curled up. Tucked behind his back.The bored mood conveyed by Feng Tuan Tuan, who looked extremely spiritless, was exactly the same as his own.

"Are you bored too?" Xia Yu, who held the little guy up with his hands, sighed after looking at Feng Tuan Tuan's head shaking up and down gently. In his spare time, Xia Yu's thoughts began to wander randomly.

What does this dragon meat taste like?

There is an old saying among gourmet gourmets: dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground.This old saying originally expressed praise for the delicious taste of donkey meat.As a professional chef, I actually saw a dragon!It is still a giant dragon similar to the five-clawed golden dragon in domestic myths and legends!

The only problem is that this dragon is the god of Liyue. Not to mention trying to cut some and cook it, even if such an idea is known to anyone in Liyue, it will definitely come from Liyue. Yue chased him all the way to Mondstadt and refused to let him go.

If there is a murderous intention hidden in Liyue Port, then just go for a walk outside Liyue Port. I have wings of wind and a wind ball that can be used as an engine. I fly at high altitudes most of the time and with my current physique, as long as I don't encounter For someone like Shang Yuheng Xing Keqing who can use lightning-type teleportation moves, running away should be fine.

Let's go to the west of Liyue Port and have a look. Xia Yu made up his mind and sat up. He gently rubbed Feng Tuantuan's extremely smooth body and looked at the little guy who was looking at him with all his strength. Xia Yu smiled and said, "There's nothing to do in these jade pavilions anyway. How about we go for a walk in the wild?"

'! The little guy's eyes suddenly widened and he was immediately full of energy. He fluttered his white little wings and flew into the air. The wind was so excited that it circled around Xia Yu.The little guy's excited look made Xia Yu's mood improve a lot. Xia Yu, who walked slowly outside the Jade Pavilion, stretched himself greatly, then took out the Wings of Wind device and put it on his body.

"Let's go, this time we are heading to the northwest of Qunyu Pavilion!" The little guy jumped out of the edge of the stone platform, holding the wind in his arms and shaking his round body with excitement, and the little guy skillfully used the wind element to stir up the airflow. The boost started in the direction Xia Yu pointed.

There are quite a lot of ruins and ruins in Liyue, so why not set these ruins as targets.Sliding along the northwest direction towards the vaguely visible architectural ruins in the basin in the distance, the refreshing air completely made Xia Yu couldn't help but admire the good environment.

Although the entertainment facilities are much less than those in modern times, the environment of green mountains and green waters is really not comparable to the world after the industrial revolution.

You must have a great time this time!

————————————————————————

"Huh...huh..." Ying, who had dealt with the advance army of Fools who seemed to be guarding something, breathed a long sigh of relief. It was completely consistent with the information given by Ningguang. There was actually something in this relatively hidden ruins. There is a hidden hideout for the fools of the Solstice Kingdom.

The soft energy fluctuations in the air felt very familiar to Ying, but for a while, she couldn't remember what it was. All the way up the wreckage of the building, it was obviously the wood that had been newly transported to the wreckage. The box caught Ying's attention, and the familiar energy fluctuations came from this wooden box.After opening the wooden box, the items printed in their eyes made both Ying and Paimon's eyes widen.

"It's a hundred-forbidden jar!" Paimon exclaimed on the spot after a whole wooden box of hundred-forbidden jar was packed in.

According to legend, there are more than a hundred items of the contract between the Rock King and the Immortal Family that have been rare to see for a hundred years.Even if the two of them were still a little unsure before, this whole box of [-]-No-Taboo Ribbon made them understand that the [-]-No-Taboo Ribbon that the young master handed to them, which was regarded as a safe passage ticket to the Jueyunjian Immortal Mansion, was definitely a counterfeit. One of the products.

In other words, from the moment he entered Liyue Port, he had been targeted by the Fools. Escaping from the scene of Emperor Yan's assassination only accelerated the time for the young master to come into contact with him.

Has it been calculated from the beginning... Ying, who was in a slightly bad mood, sighed softly.While feeling irritated by being plotted, another doubt appeared in Ying's mind.

Why do you fools prepare so many taboos?Ying, who originally chose to believe in Ningguang and Liyue Qixing just because of the 500 million Mora, now completely established his position.
