The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Xia Yu felt that before he made a detailed introduction, it was still necessary to understand the thoughts of the young Master of the Rebirth Hall. Looking at Hu Tao, whose eyes were shining, Xia Yu asked: "Can you tell me first, why do you want to Do you sell items for the funeral industry to everyone?”

"Because everyone will have to use this thing sooner or later." Hutao replied with a confident look on his face. "And Xia Yu, you see, products from all walks of life will be sold to their corresponding customers in various forms. My items in the Hall of Purity will have to be used by everyone in Liyue sooner or later, right? Then I will sell them to them. What’s the problem?”

"And I also specially gave out discounts, such as buying an exquisite solid wood coffin and getting an ordinary wooden coffin for free, or a door-to-door pick-up service at a predetermined time. It's very considerate, right? Keli But everyone in Yue always thinks that funeral matters are too unlucky and drives me away. Won't they still come sooner or later?"

After finishing speaking, Hu Tao took a long sip from his tea cup and let out a long sigh of relief.The girl with eyes full of confusion asked Xia Yu: "So, what exactly did I make them unhappy about?"

It's because of the conflict of concepts and the way of sales promotion... Xia Yu immediately knew the reason after listening to Hu Tao's statement.In the eyes of ordinary people, selling funeral products to living people is already a bit provocative. If you can't explain the reason, you still imitate the way other products are sold. How can this approach work?

"Method, you didn't choose the right way to promote." Looking at Hutao who looked like he was listening carefully, Xia Yu continued to explain: "All products must be based on the user's preferences and be reasonably priced based on their own advantages. Exaggerate, so as to stimulate the other party’s desire to buy.”

"Ah, yes, yes, of course I know this." After listening to Xia Yu's explanation, Hu Tao directly laid her upper body on the long table. The face of the girl with her head hanging on the table was full of helplessness. "But the special nature of the Rebirth Hall is that apart from offering sacrifices and doing errands, who would come to the Rebirth Hall to buy things if they have nothing to do?"

"You don't understand this." At this point, Xia Yu's face was full of confidence. "Before answering, I would like to know about the burial form and burial location of the Death Hall. Can you tell me these aspects in detail?"

Considering that this is not his original world, since there are even elemental powers and magic, what if ghosts actually exist?

Although Hutao may not be a qualified salesperson, being able to take on the position of the head of the Purity Hall shows that she should be recognized by other people in the Purity Hall for at least her handling of her business.

"The form and place of burial? Why do you know this?" Hutao looked a little confused when he heard Xia Yu's question, but in the end he nodded. After standing up from the table, Hutao, who originally seemed a little casual, suddenly became Much more serious.

"Actually, what the Death Hall did at first was not funerals, but work like doctors. According to the records in the history of the Death Hall, the prototype of the Death Hall has existed since the Demon God War. The Demon God War resulted in a large number of human beings. Deaths and corpses strewn across the land caused countless plagues and diseases. At that time, some people discovered that burning with fire could curb the spread of 'death', so the tradition of cremation was passed down."

"As for the burial place you mentioned..." After thinking for a while, Hutao shook his head. "This has not been considered much. After all, the family members usually choose the venue themselves. As long as it does not affect the scenery of Liyue Port too much, they will be buried directly after approval from Yuhengxing."

"Huh?" Hu Tao's answer made Xia Yu stunned. "Does it mean that there is no such thing as a cemetery?"

"Cemetery? What is that?"

Looking at Hu Tao with doubts in his eyes, Xia Yu never expected that this kind of system had not yet appeared in the Liyue area.You know, in the original world, funeral rituals certainly cost a lot of money, but they pale into insignificance compared with the burial place corresponding to its specifications.

"In general, a cemetery is a place that is more suitable for burial, management and protection of people after burial. As for the location and design of the cemetery, Feng Shui is involved, which is not what I am good at. ..." Xia Yu, who was explaining, noticed Hu Tao's eyes.

"Oh~ this idea is quite novel! And it is also very reasonable." As the leader of the Purity Hall, Hu Tao, who has been in this industry for several years, immediately understood the advantages of this approach.

Although the cremation method has basically eliminated the occurrence of plague and disease, the current practice of letting family members decide the burial location is somewhat difficult to explain. In my eyes as a professional, they still have some problems in site selection. flaw.

You know, there really are "spirits" in this world.Sometimes, in the eyes of family members, a place with beautiful scenery and clear waters is not the most suitable place for these spirits to leave their bodies. It is more troublesome to deal with ordinary souls that have been injured by excessive yang energy.

However, only the hall masters of the past generations of the Hall of Rebirth have the right to know the secrets of Wuwangpo's boundary between life and death, and these issues are not suitable to be told to ordinary people.

As Xia Yu said, as a professional team, Shengshengtang selected a location suitable for Feng Shui, then decorated the land and planted some suitable vegetation.In the past, the people of Liyue were willing to believe the Shengshengtang's expertise in this area.

And in this way, the movement routes of the people who go to the cemetery to pay homage every year are basically demarcated. As long as the Qianyan Army is entrusted to include this route into the patrol range, the monsters that appear every year to pay homage will hurt people. Events can be effectively controlled.

This is equivalent to expanding new business for Shengshengtang!This tall brother is so awesome!Hutao, who was applauding in his heart, discovered another problem: This approach still seems to have failed to improve the acceptance of the Xiangshengtang business when it is promoted to the people of Liyue?

"Xia Yu, I feel like this is expanding the business of the Rebirth Hall, but how can we improve everyone's acceptance?" Compared with the casual attitude of giving it a try at the beginning, Hutao at this time also began to think carefully. problems in this regard.After feeding the problem back to Xia Yu,

"This involves the desire for comparison that everyone has." Xia Yu looked confident of winning while tasting tea. "Although I don't know much about Feng Shui, this kind of issue involving large cemeteries... Although every place in the selected site meets the needs of burial, there should be subtle differences in Feng Shui for each specific location. There is a difference, this statement should be okay, right?”

"Of course!" Hutao, who mentioned his professional knowledge, seemed extremely proud. Following the clues given by Xia Yu, Hutao, who usually had a somewhat out-of-the-box personality, immediately understood Xia Yu's thoughts.

yes!Just like the reason why businessmen like antiques is mainly because of their collection value. As long as the cemetery is divided into areas according to the pros and cons of Feng Shui, and then decorated accordingly, there will be those who like to compare everything. A new battlefield?

"It looks like you already understand." Hutao, who looked eager to try, made Xia Yu understand. The other party should already know what he wanted to express.

The high-standard funeral services of the Rebirth Hall can be performed repeatedly, but there are only a few of the best Feng Shui treasures in the cemetery...

Although it is still a bit unlucky on the surface, in addition to repeatable rituals, the Rebirth Hall also has some 'limited' high-quality burial places.No matter how taboo it is to talk about burial after death, curiosity will prompt them to come and find out what it is all about.

"As long as the Goshen Hall is professional enough in Feng Shui and can convince the people of Liyue, then it will be the authority in this field. When businessmen come to inquire, you only need to introduce to them why those Feng Shui treasures are good. What are the advantages of the location, and then mention the taboo funeral items in a way that you can choose to mix them and sell them, then there will be no problem.”

When explaining this, Xia Yu found that his arm was once again held by a delicate hand.Hutao, who had already stood up, was trying to pull himself up. However, perhaps because of the difference in strength, he still sat motionless on the seat.

"Wutao, what are you...?"

"Of course I should put these ideas into action immediately. I just know a place that would be great!"

Before Xia Yu, who stood up after him, could finish his words, Hu Tao, who hurriedly paid for the tea, spoke out his thoughts. "The management rights of the land in Liyue are all in the hands of Yuhengxing, so if you want to take over the land, you must declare it to Yuhengxing." Hutao, who ran out of Fuchaju with Xia Yu, quickly walked towards Qianyan The military law enforcement department rushed over.

Yuhengxing?It always felt familiar... After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Xia Yu, who was running with Hu Tao, suddenly realized what he was saying.

Liyue's current Yuhengxing...isn't it Keqing?

————————————————————————

In Liyue Qixing's conference room, Ke Qing, who had just finished the meeting, let out a long sigh of relief.

Since the recent series of emergencies in Liyue Port, the busy members of Seven Stars have hardly been idle.Looking through the files of land ownership, Keqing felt that she admired Ningguang, who was in charge of the law for a moment.

Although Liyue Port has completed its transformation since the departure of Emperor Yanwang, it is not as simple as imagined.Back in her own office, Keqing, who rarely went out, began to deal with the remaining work in her hands.

It is quite energy-consuming to organize and revise at the same time. For example, this land planning form in my hand... Just when Keqing was checking the contents on it one by one, there was a short but very regular knock on the door. Let Keqing raise her head.The Qianyan Army soldier who was originally on guard opened the door and came to the room.

"Lord Keqing, the Master of the Rebirth Hall is asking to see you. Can you please bring her and the people who are traveling with her in?" After reporting the situation, the soldiers of the Qianyan Army stood quietly and waited, as if waiting for Keqing's reply.

The master of the Rebirth Hall?Isn't that just Hutao... As the manager of Liyue Land, the business affairs of Shengshengtang often require his approval to complete the final approval.

Is there anyone else who needs to be buried... Although I feel a little depressed, this does not constitute an excuse to affect my work.However, it is still troublesome to have to review it every time someone dies. Is there any way to solve this problem in the Hall of Rebirth once and for all?

After rubbing her face to make herself look more energetic, Keqing said: "Let them come in."

"Long time no see, Keqing~"

The appearance of Hu Tao and Xia Yu waving hello made the purple-haired girl look confused.

As a native of Liyue, it can be said that Hu Tao, who took over the Shengsheng Hall, is very eccentric in character.Except during the funeral ceremony where she would appear particularly serious, at other times Hutao always gave people the impression that nothing she did was particularly out of place.

Especially the promotion of the business of Shengshengtang that she is dedicated to. Shengshengtang is the only one that performs funeral services in Liyue. Is it really necessary to recommend and promote such a well-known thing to the living?Also, how did Xia Yu get together with Hu Tao?

"Is something wrong?"

"Of course something happened, and it's a good thing that will usher in huge business opportunities for Shengshengtang and benefit Liyue!" He jogged to Ke Qing's side, and the quirky Hu Tao's excited look made Ke Qing momentarily Somewhat overwhelming.

"Mr. Xia Yu is really awesome. After discussing with him just now, our hall master made an important decision!" He turned his attention to the map of the Liyue area on Keqing's desk and pointed. Looking at Hutao, who was located in the southwest of Liyue Port, he said: "I want to take over this land. I wonder if anyone is interested in this land? How many molas are needed?"

ha! ?When Hutao got serious, he slapped Keqing so hard that he couldn't even rub his hands.

The Hall of Purity...needs land?And the area is so big! ?Relying on the memories from past patrols, Keqing quickly identified the state of the land: it was a completely abandoned village.

"No problem, no problem, but can you tell me what you want to do with so much land in the Hall of Rebirth?" Ke Qing, who nodded in agreement, looked back and forth at Hu Tao and Xia Yu, as if they were I want to confirm what kind of medicine these two people are selling in their gourds.

"Of course, this area will be transformed into a cemetery!" Hu Tao answered, leaving the purple-haired girl stunned.

Cemetery...what is it?

Chapter 100 Drafting, Ray Slime who likes electric fish

"So that's it...it's indeed a good way." Ke Qing nodded after listening to Xia Yu's explanation.

Compared with the original system, the advantages of building a cemetery are extremely significant.The first thing is to ensure the safety of the people in Liyue every time they go out to pay homage. Just send some more Qianyan troops to include the originally planned area from Heiyan Factory to the cemetery into the permanent patrol range.

Secondly, the emergence of a cemetery does not require you to get approval for such things every time. Standardized management can also preserve the tombs and inscriptions of the deceased for a longer period of time, preventing the gangsters from the treasure stealing group from destroying them frantically. .

Then there are the ruins to the west of Liyue Port. Since the village was completely neglected after the ruins, the dilapidated ruins have become the den of the treasure thieving group near the south of Liyue. If that land can be destroyed, Sorting it out was a big help.

Finally, there is the future expansion of the cemetery. Moving forward from this small village is the only way for Liyue miners to go to the Strata Abyss. The earliest expansion location in the west of Liyue was due to the ore industry. So far, there is plenty of room to move the ruins to the west or south for future expansion.

"Okay, I have approved this project. I will draft a formal document and bring it to you, and then implement it according to the standard process. As for the price of this land..." Keqing felt a little embarrassed when she considered the price issue.

It stands to reason that the release of the long-term use rights of each piece of land in Liyue requires payment of a certain fee, so as to ensure the normal operation of Liyue's economy.But the main purpose of this land right now is to bury the dead people of Liyue. In addition, the cleanup of the ruins on this land was originally a big project. I want to clear this land in a short time and hire workers. The cost of mola is probably a few hundred million.

If they charge further land fees, these fees will eventually be shared equally among the people of Liyue by the Palace of Life. Rich businessmen can say that, but ordinary people will find it difficult to accept the high prices.It's better to run it as a public welfare project.

"Since it involves the changes in the entire Liyue funeral, we have to do it well. I can give the land to the Shengsheng Hall for free, and the Qianyan Army responsible for patrolling can also arrange it, but the Shengsheng Hall has to make a guarantee, and the cemetery The overall selling price of the area does not exceed [-]% of the cost of clearing the ruins and construction, and follow-up maintenance work needs to be carried out." Keqing seemed extremely serious when talking about this matter.

Eh?He didn't expect Keqing to care so much about this matter, but when Xia Yu initially mentioned the cemetery mode, Hutao was a little dumbfounded.

If the land is free, the expenditures of the Goshen Hall will indeed be much smaller. The reason why I agreed to the Xia Yu Cemetery model is just to make the business of the Gossheng Hall easier to sell. I have not considered making too much money from this.

But daily maintenance must require funds, right?Scrubbing tombstones, arranging night watchmen, cleaning up the park... As the park expands step by step, this expense seems to be quite large for Bimola...

In this case, we can’t leave it alone after handling the funeral as before!Although the Hall of Rebirth is not short of money, it cannot withstand the constant leakage of money from such a bottomless pocket.If he destroyed the family fortune accumulated over generations, wouldn't he become a sinner in the Hall of Rebirth?

Hutao, who took Xia Yu's arm and shook it violently, seemed a little anxious. After seeing Xia Yu turn his eyes to herself, Hutao quickly asked: "Xia Yu, what should I do with these ongoing expenses? It can't be like inn charges. Are you charging a fee every day? You came up with this idea, so you should have a corresponding solution, right?"

The girl's worried look made Xia Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Of course there is." After adjusting his mood, Xia Yu looked at Ke Qing, who was also curious and waiting for his opinion, and then said: "If the subsequent maintenance work still requires expenditures from the Goshen Hall, then some There are restrictions. For example, the items needed to enter the park to pay homage can only be produced by the Gosheng Hall. If there are special needs, they can be ordered from the Gosheng Hall in advance."

Are there restrictions on the commemorative objects that people need to mourn their relatives... After thinking for a moment, Keqing still agreed with Xia Yu's opinion.

After all, in the whole of Liyue, the only place that sells condolences is Shengshengtang, and the part that helps expand the market is only flowers. Using the revenue and expenditure of flowers to calculate the daily maintenance and labor expenses is indeed considered. Within a reasonable range.

Even the Rebirth Hall, which has been dealing with funeral affairs for thousands of years, couldn't come up with such a good method. Where did Xia Yu come up with so many ideas?The key is that his old profession has nothing to do with this matter.

The quirky Hutao praised Xia Yu so much that Keqing couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "If I hadn't known that you were a chef by profession, I would have thought that Xia Yu was the master of the Hall of Rebirth. ..Okay, let’s draw up the preliminary draft like this.”

————————————————————————

"When Daqiuqiu is sick, Erqiuqiu looks at it, Sanqiuqiu collects medicine, and Four Qiuqiu boils it~"

After walking out of Keqing's office, Hutao, who was humming an unknown nursery rhyme and looking eager to try, could no longer bear the mood of wanting to start work as soon as possible. "Thank you, Xia Yu." Hu Tao looked up at Xia Yu with a bright smile. "Now that the matter has been discussed, work needs to start on my side."

"With the recruitment of workers and detailed observation of Feng Shui, it is not as easy as imagined to completely sort out the land..." Although it can be guessed how huge the initial project volume is, Hutao's There was no look of fear on his face.

"Thank you Xia Yu for your help. Next, I will go back to the Palace of Purity to discuss specific matters with everyone, so I won't waste your time any further."

Hutao waved goodbye to Xia Yu and showed that quirky smile again. Hutao turned back to look at Xia Yu while jogging and shouted loudly: "I promise to reserve a treasure land with excellent Feng Shui for Xia Yu!" Then, the figure of the girl appeared. Disappeared into the bustling sea of ​​people on the road to Liyue Port.

This... unique way of thanking and saying goodbye made Xia Yu feel a little bit dumbfounded. Feeling the trembling body of Ruotuo Dragon King's shrunken ball on his shoulders, Xia Yu sighed: "If you want to laugh, just laugh... .”

"Hahaha, the current master of the Rebirth Hall is quite interesting." The hearty laughter of Ruotuo Dragon King reached Xia Yu's ears. "I'm afraid only she can use the preferential treatment after death as a thank you gift."

Ruotuo Dragon King, whose eyes were narrowed to a slit, kept swinging his short tail from side to side, and his chubby body turned completely upside down, turning his stomach into the sky.Ruotuo Dragon King's movement immediately attracted the attention of Feng Tuantuan, who was resting on Xia Yu's shoulder.

After staring at the big round eyes for a long time, Ruotuo Dragon King used the power of elements to stick to the clothes on Xia Yu's shoulders and roll around. Feng Tuantuan, who was puzzled by the behavior of this new neighbor, finally gave up thinking.

"That's all, now that things have happened like this, just laugh if you want." After finishing speaking, Xia Yu focused his attention on leisure and relaxation. "Lord Ruotuo, are there any places with beautiful scenery in the Liyue area? Please recommend them."

"If you want to ask about the beautiful scenery, go all the way north along the Tianheng Mountains and stand halfway up the mountain to watch the Luhua Pond below. The majestic palaces and puddles of clear water there will definitely satisfy your needs. Even after thousands of years, The palace is in dilapidated condition, and the incomplete architecture and beautiful landscape are worth stopping to admire.”

"The second is Qingce Village, which is located in the north of Liyue. Because it is far away from Liyue Port, Qingce Village, which was once prosperous, has now become a holy place for retirement in Liyue. Qingce Village mainly grows flowers and grains. The quiet beauty of the village nestled between mountains and rivers is also worth visiting." Dragon King Ruotuo expressed his views very confidently.

Luhuachi and Qingce Village?After picking up the map and confirming the approximate location, Xia Yu began to confirm the next destination. He followed the map from bottom to top to search for Toro Dragon King's recommendations. After several minutes, Xia Yu finally found the light place at the northernmost point of the map. Cezhuang’s location

Qingce Village is too far away... It's better to go to Luhua Pond first, and talk about Qingce Village when we return to Mondstadt in the future.After arriving at Keqing's mansion and taking the relic hunter with him for the journey, Xia Yu made up his mind and walked out of this bustling port city along the bridge to the north of Liyue Port.

Riding on the shoulders of this huge mecha and flying into the air, Xia Yu, who was controlling the Ruin Hunter on the way, looked down at the land below. Perhaps because of the higher viewing angle, Xia Yu, who was riding on the flying Ruin Hunter, Xia Yu felt that observing the scenery under his feet from this perspective was like taking a passenger plane for half a minute before taking off and landing.

That's... Paimon and Ying?The familiar blond figure caught Xia Yu's attention in mid-air. There was a brown-haired boy about five or six years old beside the two people who were walking along the road in Liyue towards Liyue Port. The little guy was dressed in Liyue. The style of Hong Kong is obviously different.

This costume seems to be that of a child from the Winter Country?Xia Yu felt that the little guy's clothes were somewhat similar to those of the merchants from the Winter Kingdom in Liyue Port.But...why only one child?Xia Yu, who was searching for the children's parents everywhere, could not find any adults wearing similar clothes within his field of vision.

No way... Could it be that he ran out to play by himself?Then this kid is really lucky that he didn't encounter a monster.

Xia Yu, who had roughly made a guess, kept this situation in mind.

Now is not the best time to communicate with Ying. Judging from the current situation, since the child has been discovered by Ying and Paimon, his safety can naturally be guaranteed.In addition, there is an executive of Fools like Dadalia in Liyue Port who has not yet left, so it should not be difficult to find the child's parents.

My goal position remains unchanged, and I still focus on traveling around the mountains and rivers first. I will ask Ying about the child's affairs after I have rested today.

————————————————————————

"How is it? Little friend Xia Yu, I wonder if the scenery of Luhua Lake can be regarded as one of Liyue's unique features?"

Two hours later, I arrived at Luhua Lake on a relic hunter flight and was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me.Xia Yu, who nodded in agreement with Dragon King Ruotuo, said, "Dragon King Ruotuo, you are right. This Luhua Pond is indeed one of a kind."

At the moment, the green pools were as beautiful as layers of dragon scales. After giving the order to the ruin hunters to land, Xia Yu was even more amazed by the emerald pools.

Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far.The square Bitan seen from the sky changed from the jade-like beauty of Xiaojia to become majestic as the distance grew larger.

Good guy!You wouldn't know it if you didn't land, but the size of these clear water pools is over a hundred square meters, dotted with towering mountains and green vegetation. Although the surrounding palace ruins are somewhat dilapidated, the entrance to the building has The two statues are still intact.

The two statues are somewhat similar to Qianyan Army soldiers. The two majestic stone sculptures, nearly [-] meters high, holding spears, took the carving craftsmen many years of hard work to complete.The door of the entire palace seemed to be tightly locked due to an unknown mechanism placed somewhere. The inability to enter made Xia Yu slightly regretful.

It’s better not to violently dismantle such ancient ruins before entering.Xia Yu, who sighed lightly, once again turned his gaze towards the overlapping pools of water. Immediately, two little guys by the lake caught Xia Yu's attention:

There is a long tentacle-like existence on the top of the round body. The round shape at the top of the shiny tentacle is like a small light bulb connected to the socket and powered on.Two slimes, one purple and one yellow, were putting the 'bulbs' on their heads into the pool.The slightly spreading arc made Xia Yu understand that these two slimes that happened to have normal slimes must be slimes with thunder attributes.

Unexpectedly, there are two different types of slimes with thunder attributes, and they are now acting like... electric fish?Looking at the arcs spreading in the lake, the behavior of the two little guys with unique interests made Xia Yu feel tragic for the aquatic animals in the lake.

Wait... Suddenly, about five taels of big crabs crawled out of the water with difficulty, catching Xia Yu's attention.Judging from the trembling appearance of the crab, this poor crab must have been electrocuted by two slimes with thunder attributes that were still electrifying the lake.

The crabs were harvested effortlessly. Perhaps because the movement of the ruins guards following them was a bit loud, the two slimes' vision had already rested on Xia Yu.

The two thunder-type slimes with curious eyes stopped energizing the pool. After the color of their bodies became slightly darker, they bounced in the direction of Xia Yu and began to approach the two slimes. The little guy's eyes were full of happiness.

Is this the time to raise two more?Xia Yu, who roughly guessed what was going to happen next, reached out and picked up the two thunder balls, one golden and one purple, that had jumped to his feet, and then began to count them silently.

Water, fire, wind, ice, grass, rock, and now two more thunder balls. It seems that his different types of elemental slimes have been collected now?
