The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

As for Xiao Qi on the side, although he was not as active as Xiao Dulin in asking questions one after another, the shining color in Xiao Qi's eyes, who was also looking in the direction of Liyue Port, could not be concealed in any way.

How will the local Liyue people live?What are the biggest highlights of the festival?Although you can get a sense of exploration and achievement by exploring every aspect of the festival yourself, it is inevitable that you may miss some limited-time activities by doing so.

Considering these factors, Xia Yu, who came with Xiao Dulin and Xiao Qi, decided that it would be better to find an acquaintance as a guide.After all, this is the first time that I have brought two little ones to such a grand festival. It would be better if the content of the festival can be improved as much as possible.

However, Xia Yu had some difficulties when it came to choosing a guide.

The first is Xiangling, which is the most familiar. Considering that the catering industry is usually very busy during festivals, and Wanmintang is the favorite restaurant of ordinary people in Liyue, Wanmintang will probably be very busy during the festival. The master and Xiang Ling couldn't spare any time to guide them.

Then there are Hutao, Keqing, Ningguang and Ganyu in the second echelon.

First of all, we can eliminate Keqing and Ningguang of Liyue Qixing and Gan Yu, the general secretary of Qixing.Since Zhongli completely handed over the affairs of the world to the hands of the members of the Seven Stars of Liyue, apart from the original operation of Liyue, the decision-making of all important affairs has been handed over to the hands of the Seven Stars. This is the first year that Zhongli has not intervened. As a As the organizers of the Sea Lantern Festival, the three of them must be very busy.

Therefore, the most suitable thing to consider is to go to Hutao. Although Hutao usually has a somewhat out-of-the-box personality and thinking, at this time, it is these quirky people who are better able to find those things that are hidden during the festival and are not easily discovered. Interesting things.

"Don't worry, we have a lot to eat and play with when we go to Liyue Port this time!" Xia Yu showed a confident smile as he assured the two little guys.

For the accommodation issue, Keqing has helped arrange it in the guest room of her mansion, and the mora she brought with her is enough. This time I came to Liyue, except for the specific items in the festival content, I have done enough. All we have to do is arrive in Liyue and get into the festive atmosphere.

Xia Yu, who came behind the two little guys, also looked in the direction of Liyue Port, which would arrive in a while. Compared with Liyue Port on weekdays, there were many more places along the dock of Liyue Port at this moment. Decorated for the festival - small colorful flags, various business booths opened, and the most obvious thing is the sky lanterns that fly up from time to time.

Not long after, the ship that arrived at the port docked at the designated location. Xia Yu, who took the two little guys off the ship, did not take the two little guys in the direction of Changshengtang at the first time. He held one hand and walked along the pier to observe.

The crowds of people on the pier were several times more than usual, and the event venue decorated with lights and colorful decorations was also extremely lively. There were specially decorated boats and stalls full of festive atmosphere. In less than 5 minutes, two people were busy. The little guys carried two beautiful small lanterns one by one.

"Brother Xia Yu, what is that!?" The huge stone floating in mid-air tied up with iron chains caught Little Dulin's attention. He pointed at the stone emitting emerald green light and the surrounding carvings. The eyes of the workers' little guy were full of curiosity.

This should be the base material used by Qunyu Pavilion that he and Ningguang once floated in mid-air, right?Xia Yu, who carefully recalled the name of the stone, finally remembered its name.

"This is floating stone, a very special stone produced in the Liyue area. As for these workers, they should be preparing for the festival... After all, the Sea Lantern Festival will last for a while." As Xia Yu explained this to the two little guys, he also received applause from a woman with long black hair on the side.

"Yes, just like what you said, Mr. Xia, this huge floating stone is the key to this Hailantern Festival. After all, the entire 'Xiao City' is built around it." The black-haired woman walked over. He waved to Xia Yu and the others, and then introduced himself: "My name is Jiangzhou, and I am currently responsible for statistics on the construction progress of Mingxiao Lantern."

It turned out to be a staff member of Liyue Fang. Based on what he had done in Liyue Port recently, it was within the normal understanding that the staff related to Qixing knew him well.After briefly greeting the other party and continuing to walk a certain distance, another familiar figure appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

The blond girl and her best friend sitting next to the Liyue synthesizing table looked quite busy. Beside them, three or four woven sky lanterns were neatly placed, but never Judging from their enthusiastic busyness, Ying and Paimon seemed to have no intention of stopping.

What is this doing?Ying and Paimon's behavior made Xia Yu look confused.

If you just want to experience the making of Xiao lanterns, the number of Xiao lanterns placed next to the two of them is definitely enough.If they continue to make Xiaolan lanterns... Could it be that they want to make Xiaolan lanterns and sell them in exchange for a certain amount of mola to fund the Sea Lantern Festival activities?

But I remember that the two of them are not so poor... Especially after the small planting business in Huzhong Cave opened, even if Ying's life is not as good as those wealthy businessmen in Liyue, they can consume rationally and freely. There is no problem anymore.

"Ying, Paimon, what are you doing?" After greeting the two, Xia Yu looked at the blond girl who turned back and Paimon's energetic look and felt extremely confused. "You have also been to the Hai Lantern Festival, right? Are these Xiaolan lanterns made a little too much?"

"No, no, that's not much at all~" When mentioning the number of lanterns she made, the blond girl with her hands on her hips looked proud. "I'm helping my acquaintances in Liyue Port make sky lanterns!"

"For example, Xiangling and Master Mao's Wanmintang have too many customers these days, so they are so tired after a busy day that they have no time or energy to make Xiaolan lanterns, so I help them do it. There is also Keqing, who is in charge of inspection work recently. Although it is said that there are many servants in her mansion who can make Xiaolan lanterns, Keqing's expression when she talks about Xiaolan..."

Xia Yu was a little confused by the blond girl who kept talking about who each Xiaolan was going to be given to. According to Ying, she had to make at least ten Xiaolans today alone. Judging from its exquisite appearance, the production time of each Xiaolan lantern will definitely not be less than 10 minutes...

In this case, wouldn't three or four hours pass by? ?Looking at the blond girl with a proud expression, Xia Yu's expression became a little strange.

Are you here to enjoy the festive food and the celebratory atmosphere, or are you here to work...?

"Then... we won't disturb you for now. I will live in Keqing's mansion in the near future and set the entrance and exit of the cave in the pot there. After you are done, let's go to the Sea Lantern Festival together." Waving hands. After Ying said goodbye to Paimon, Xia Yu took the two little guys to the starting point of a long row of food stalls lined up along both sides of the pier.

This is the highlight of today. Just standing at the starting position, you can smell the tempting aroma emanating from various stalls in the snack street. The bustling scene makes Xiao Dulin and Xiao Qi, who are following Xia Yu, double-crossed. I have already started scanning various stalls.

"Brother Xia Yu, I want to eat the grilled tiger fish, Mora meatloaf, the brown-red roasted pork, and the food in the jar over there with such a distinct aroma!" Little Dulin couldn't help it anymore. He began to pull up Xia Yu's clothes, with an eager expression on his face.

"Brother Xia Yu, I want it too, the cool coconut milk and the emerald green cabbage-like food." Xiao Qi, who followed Xiao Dulin and looked at Xia Yu eagerly, revealed extremely longing in his eyes. look.The two little guys couldn't help but laugh because they couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay! Our first goal today is to eat all the snack streets~"

Chapter 176: Workers, working souls, the busiest duo during the Hai Lantern Festival

“Come and take a look! Freshly caught grilled tiger fish~”

“Zhongyuan offal~delicious and inexpensive!”

Shouts came from the shops on both sides. The little mouths of Xiao Dulin and Xiao Qi who were following Xia Yu almost never stopped chewing food. Although not every portion of the wide variety of snacks could be said to be perfect. They are high-quality products, but since they can participate in the Hailantern Festival, there are still some that are of good quality and above.

What was somewhat beyond Xia Yu's expectation was that, in addition to the snacks he usually saw at Huyan, Xinyue Xuan and Liuli Pavilion, which rarely accepted individual customers, even set up their own stalls.

"The authentic traditional craftsmanship of three-day slow-cooking has jumped over the wall! On weekdays, a pot of [-] mola only costs [-] mola~"

"The most delicious Tianshu meat! You can taste it today for only [-] molas!"

It seems that this food exhibition street is regarded as another venue for a duel. Representatives of the two companies, Licai and Yuecai, who have set up three or five tables across the street, are still competing today, even though the dishes sold by both companies are... It's expensive, but due to the enthusiasm of Liyue people and tourists who want to try it every year, long queues formed in front of the stalls of both stores.

The snacks have almost tasted, and it’s time to have some dinner, and then go to Hutao to find out what fun projects and must-not-miss content this year’s Hai Lantern Festival has.Just as Xia Yu was about to take the two little guys to have dinner, Xiao Qi raised his finger and pointed at the storage area by the dock, and seemed to have discovered something.

"Brother Xia Yu, over there, the blond sister and the little white guy just now." Looking in the direction of Xiao Qi's finger, Ying and Paimon, who were checking the storage boxes on the dock, appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.Due to the distance, Xia Yu couldn't see clearly what the two of them were doing.

Finished knitting Xiao Deng so quickly?Xia Yu, who admired Ying and Paimeng's efficiency, had a look of surprise in his eyes. Just in time, if everyone is finished, let's go have a meal together.Thinking of this, Xia Yu took the two little guys to where Ying was on the dock.

"Ying, are you done? Do you want to go find a restaurant with us for a dinner?" Xia Yu greeted the two of them but failed to get a response from them.

What big thing happened again?Speeding up his pace and arriving at Ying's side, Xia Yu found that the eyes of the blond girl looking around at rice paper, lamp oil and other flammable goods were full of anxiety.

"Huh!? Is it Xia Yu..." She finally discovered the dark shadow covered by a huge body that had walked beside her. Ying, who was startled, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Xia Yu.Then, the blond girl and Paimeng who held Xia Yu's arm said quickly: "Sorry Xia Yu! Members of the treasure stealing group came here just now. This location on the dock is full of flammable and explosive items. We definitely want to hinder the holding of the Sea Lantern Festival!"

As if to enhance the credibility of his words, Ying quickly gestured to Xia Yu to look at the mark painted on the ground, and then continued: "This is the mark left by a sneaky person here just now. I I didn't pay attention and let him slip away. Now that I think about it, that guy is definitely a member of the treasure thief group, and they will definitely cause destruction at this Lantern Festival!"

ha! ? ?Xia Yu was a little confused by Ying's logic.

He quickly stopped the blond girl and Paimon who were about to run away and looked extremely panicked. Xia Yu quickly said: "No, if you think about it again, I think you are really overly nervous. How could there be someone from Liyue?" The thief destroyed the sacred scripture of Liyue’s biggest festival with great fanfare?”

As the saying goes, thieves also need to celebrate the New Year. What's more, judging from the results obtained from the last trip to the Layer Rock Abyss and the recent Qingce Village, most of the members of the treasure stealing group operating in the Liyue area are actually from Liyue. native.

There are immortals in Liyue, which is something that every Liyue person is proud of, not to mention what kind of magical powers the immortals have. The books are all recorded.

With the intimidating power of these immortals, how could any member of Liyue's local treasure stealing group be so reluctant to sabotage the Hai Lantern Festival?Do you really want the angry Liyue Qixing to cooperate with the immortals to wipe out all Liyue's treasure thieves...

"Look at this mark..." Pointing to the mark on the ground that seemed to be left by a member of the treasure stealing group, Xia Yu felt extremely speechless.

The complicated lace and engravings make this mark look extremely gorgeous in a sense, but it is precisely because of this gorgeous shape that the entire mark is about half a meter in diameter...

"Don't you think the size of this mark is too conspicuous? Even if it is true that members of the treasure thief group came to visit and left this mark, what do you think will happen next?"

What's next... Ying, who calmed down a little under Xia Yu's reminder, frowned slightly and started to think.

With such a large mark and such a conspicuous mark, passing Qianyan Army soldiers would definitely notice such a conspicuous thing.Then, the patrolling Qianyan Army reported it to the captain step by step, and started alert and investigation. Then, the plan of the treasure stealing group members failed.

That's right... If they were really members of the treasure stealing group, they would at most put some marks on the box that only their members would know, so as not to arouse the vigilance of Qianyan Army.However, what if an enemy imitates the appearance of the treasure thief group, but actually wants to destroy Liyue? ?

In this case, I still can't rest... Among the people I know well, Kaiya should be familiar with some information about the treasure stealing group, so I went to ask Kaiya and just returned from Liyue's teleportation anchor point. Just go to Mondstadt.

In Xia Yu's field of vision, the blond girl who should have breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this seemed even more nervous for some reason... The blond girl who shook her head still had a worried expression on her face.

"Although Xia Yu, what you said is very reasonable, I still feel that I can't let go... So, I plan to go back to Mondstadt and ask Kaia. He should have informants related to this. I will take the first step! "Xia Yu fell into silence as Ying trotted towards the teleportation anchor point.

The most troublesome thing about this kind of thing is just to let Qian Yanjun investigate!What's the use of knowing the meaning of this mark from Mondstadt?Just after she was busy knitting Xiao Deng, she was involved in a case related to the treasure thief group, and judging from Ying's attitude, she seemed to be willing to solve the whole process by herself.

Are you really here to enjoy the Hai Lantern Festival in Liyue? ?

————————————————————————

After giving up talking to Ying, who was in a workaholic state, Xia Yu, who had a delicious meal with the two little ones in Liyue's restaurant, began to move in the direction of the Hall of Purity.Within 10 minutes, Xia Yu arrived at the gate of the Hall of Purity and saw Hutao sending a customer dressed as a businessman away from the gate of the Hall of Purity.

"Okay customer, we have received your reservation. During the introduction, the staff of the Purity Hall will prepare the items for worship and take you there." Judging from the girl's smiling expression , she seemed to have concluded a business deal with the departing businessman.

What on earth could make Hutao so happy?Xia Yu, who was somewhat curious, first waved to Hu Tao. After seeing that Hu Tao also noticed him, Xia Yu asked: "Hu Tao, is there another business to be conducted?"

"It's not what you think of when someone dies and needs to be buried, but it can indeed be regarded as the business of the Rebirth Hall." Hutao, with his hands on his hips, had a proud expression, and then continued to explain: "It's not the Lantern Festival recently. Is it here yet? So in addition to opening up sky lanterns to commemorate past heroes, more and more people are paying homage to their deceased elders or friends."

"No, I have to immediately arrange for the corresponding staff to bring the things for worship to these people who have made reservations."

That's it... After listening to Hu Tao's explanation, Xia Yu couldn't help but nodded after understanding.

Generally speaking, because the Hai Lantern Festival has the meaning of commemorating the past, some residents of Liyue Port also arrange the worship of ancestors or deceased relatives during these days.

Since the cemetery system was implemented and recognized by most people in Liyue, many of the wild graves that were once placed in the wilderness are now being moved to the cemetery area where Youshangsheng Hall is responsible for cleaning and management after consultation with relatives and family members. Inside.So I am afraid that the past few days at the Purity Hall have been much busier than I imagined.

In the Shengshengtang where Zhongli is not around, Hu Tao himself is the only one who can take the lead.Judging from this situation, Hutao probably won't be able to spare much time to introduce the features of this Lantern Festival to himself...

Let's pick up key projects for consultation. Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Hutao: "If you are busy, I won't waste your time too much. Hutao, you know that there are some extremely time-limited parts of the Hailantern Festival. You will feel sorry if you miss them." Is it an experience project?”

"A unique and time-limited project?" Hutao, who heard Xia Yu's question, held her chin with one hand and began to think. After a while, the girl's eyes lit up as she seemed to have figured out the result of the problem.

"If you really want to say it, Xia Yu, you must go along the performance area of ​​the pier to see them one by one! There are many people in Liyue who are particularly good at performing. If you miss their performance, you will regret it if you miss it. matter."

"Performance of the show? I understand, then I won't disturb Hutao and your work for the time being." After thanking Hutao, Xia Yu took the two little ones and walked towards the direction of eating tiger rocks.

Indeed, if you miss activities such as performances, you will not be able to experience the festive atmosphere. This is indeed an item that you will regret if you miss it.The performance area is located near the pier of Tiger Rock, and there is only enough area to set up a booth for the performance.

Walking along the business road of Chihuyan towards the port, when passing by Wanmin Hall, the figure of the blond girl and Paimon standing at the door of Wanmin Hall appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision again.The two people who were waiting for Master Mao to pack the food looked full of energy.

Are you ready to have dinner after finishing all the things related to the treasure stealing group?Seeing Ying and Paimon, Xia Yu once again envied Ying's ability to teleport to the proven teleportation anchor points across the Teyvat continent at any time. This ability is really too convenient.

Just when Xia Yu was about to step forward to say hello, the two people who took the food from Master Mao hurried towards the dock in a hurry.The two people who left with the food looked anxious and did not seem to be planning to eat now.

What...are you doing again?

"Master Mao, happy Hai Lantern Festival." Xia Yu, who came to the window of Wanmin Hall, first said hello to Master Mao who was drinking water after finishing his work, and then asked: "Where are Paimon and Ying who left just now?" what to do?"

"Oh, you mean them..." Master Mao looked a little embarrassed when he mentioned the two of them. "Actually, the two of them asked me as soon as they came here if there was anything they could help with. Xia Yu, you have been in this industry and you should understand that people in our industry are extremely busy during festivals. Don't touch the ground..."

"Now Xiangling is going to Bubulu to deliver food. I'm the only one in the store who can't leave. Originally, I didn't plan to bother them who came to celebrate the festival, but she made it up for me. Xiao Deng, again, looks like I am here to help you solve your problems... I have no choice but to leave the tasks of delivering food and asking some old customers about what they want to eat at night to them."

Delivering food and inquiring about ordering information... Xia Yu fell completely silent after listening to Master Mao's explanation.

Indeed, being busy is indeed the most common portrayal of the catering industry during the holidays.It's just that a small restaurant with only two people running it sent Xiang Ling to deliver food. Master Mao was indeed very generous.

If it were me, even if I wanted to open a food delivery business, I would definitely insist on executing it without delaying the operation of my store in this busy state.

For example, in my small shop in Mondstadt, every time I ask Mona or Noelle to deliver food, the other person must be working in the shop, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the table turning work.

But what happened to Ying and Paimon?The extremely strange state of the two people made Xia Yu really confused.

From weaving Xiaolan lanterns for some people in Liyue who are too busy to taking over for Qian Yanjun to handle cases related to the treasure thief group, and now taking the initiative to ask Ying to deliver meals for Master Mao and conduct customer taste surveys, Xia Yu feels that these two people I really never stopped working.

Are you really here to enjoy the Lantern Festival?

Chapter 177 Target Rice Wife, let’s go!

After playing happily at the Sea Lantern Festival for most of the day, I carried two little ones who started to sleep soundly due to excessive energy consumption in one hand to Keqing's mansion, and then returned to the cave in the pot through the cave.

The Hai Lantern Festival is really interesting~

In terms of atmosphere and mode of operation, the Hai Lantern Festival is indeed very similar to those large-scale festivals in the original world. What is even more commendable is that the Hai Lantern Festival held in Liyue Port also incorporates elements of temple fairs, and the venue of this temple fair is It refers to all areas of Liyue Port except residential areas.

Various snack foods, game boards made with the power of elements, singing and dancing performances, and small stalls selling various holiday souvenirs. There are so many interesting things at the Hailantern Festival, not to mention the likes of Xiao Dulin and Xiao Qi Such a little guy, even he is addicted to the atmosphere of participating in the festival celebration.

What will the craftsmen look like when the huge floating stone on the pier is carved?After carrying the two little ones back to their room, Xia Yu returned to the courtyard and found that Ying and Paimeng, who had finished their day's work, had also returned to the Huzhong Cave.

For some reason, Yingzheng, who was looking crazy, was kneeling on the ground, raising his hands and repeatedly hammering the soft grass, while Paimon, who was floating in the air next to him, had embarrassment written all over his face. .

What happened?Are you working too much part-time and regretting not participating in today’s festival celebration?The strange idea was rejected by Xia Yu as soon as it appeared in his mind.

Judging from my own experience in dealing with Ying, as long as it doesn't involve the kind of things that can make her temporarily lose her mind, it is difficult for Ying to be in such a crazy situation.What's more, she has been working in Liyue Port today. Judging from her positive energy, the matter of working must have been carefully considered.

Since you have considered it, you will never regret it. At least in your own impression, Ying is such an image.

So... what could make her look like this crazy and regretful at the same time?Xia Yu, who was curious about the girl's condition, took a few steps forward. Then, the weapon deeply sunk in the grass beside the girl's hands caught Xia Yu's attention.

The mace-like appearance, slightly larger than an ordinary two-handed sword, and the familiar shape reminded Xia Yu of the sword he borrowed from the Adventurer's Guild.It's just that compared to the one from the Adventurer's Guild, the one that's stuck in the dirt looks more perfect.

The solid body of the stick seemed to be made of a metal unknown to me. The dark black body and handle with a thick metallic color looked very strong.If just passing is used to describe the Adventurer's Association's convincing reasoning, this one should be considered a perfect score.

If only the money from working was used to purchase this weapon, that would be pretty good... When thinking of this, Xia Yu seemed to have discovered the key to the problem.

Let's not discuss the reason for the weight, which is a blunt weapon that is much larger than a two-handed sword. The length alone after adding the handle is close to 1.5 meters six, which makes ordinary people feel awkward just wearing it. , taking into account the influence of weight, there are not many people who can easily swing this mace.

So Ying made an impulsive purchase after seeing a high-quality weapon. After buying it, he realized that it was quite difficult to use the weapon with his arm strength and size, and then he regretted it?

"It's okay, Ying. Next time you choose a weapon, remember not to make impulsive purchases. Just choose the one that suits you." Xia Yu, who came to the side of the blond girl, comforted her and gently patted the shoulder of the girl who was lying on the ground. , when he saw Ying turning around, Xia Yu gave Ying a thumbs up to express encouragement.

"Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom. Just pay more attention next time!"

However, Ying, who heard his comfort, became even more depressed for some reason. The blonde girl who was just a little crazy at first had tears directly soaked into her eyes after hearing her words, and then dripped down into the deep ground and the mud. on the weapon.

"Well... Xia Yu, actually things are not what you think." Paimeng, who was staying aside, flew over. The little guy's expression of trying to explain but not knowing how to say it made Xia Yu Fell into confusion.

Didn't the result of the matter mean that she made an impulse purchase and bought a blunt weapon instead of a lighter and more agile one-handed sword that suited her?Could this possibly go wrong?

There is no way this weapon could have been smashed from the sky into the cave in the pot. She actually has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she must be feeling crazy and sad about the smashed piece of turf!

————————————————————————

The several-day celebration of the Hai Lantern Festival soon came to an end. The scene that ended with the lifelike statue of 'Moving Sky to Guide the Heavenly Lord' carved from floating stone and stepped into the sky surrounded by sky lanterns really amazed Xia Yu. After a while.

After enjoying the festival celebrations, it was the day to officially go to Daozhu. Xia Yu handed over Xiao Dulin and Xiao Qi, who had been playing with him in Liyue Port for several days, to Mona, who came to Liyue to pick up the two little guys. in hand.At the same time, Xia Yu, who got the first two thunder slimes, one gold and one purple, to follow him from Mona began to look forward to the next trip.
