Yuanshin: Before I was buried by Walnut, I opened the coffin and got up

Various sacrifices are placed in front of the table in front of the tripod, and the blooming and colorful lily lilies are placed around the central altar.

A set of old chime bells hangs below the altar, and musicians in complicated costumes stand solemnly in front of the chime bells, ready to play music at any time.

This time, Ke Qing, the main person in charge of the invitation ceremony, was wearing a solemn dress, standing solemnly in front of the altar, waiting for the start of the invitation ceremony.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao came quite early, and the invitation to the Xiandian ceremony has not yet started, so they took a front position and can see the details up close.

In addition to Jiang Bai and Hu Tao, there were many people who came to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals. Most of these people were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary manners. They could be seen as Liyue's high-ranking figures at a glance.

"Unexpectedly, Tianquan Xingguang also came." Hu Tao was a little surprised to see a woman wearing a golden cheongsam not far away.

Please Xian Dianyi, apart from the main host, the other Seven Stars do not actually need to be present.

After all, only Yuheng Xing Keqing and Tianquan Xing Ningguang are the only seven stars of this generation who like to show their faces. Few outsiders know who the other seven stars are.

"Tianquan Xingguang? Where is it?" Jiang Bai looked around curiously.

Liyue Qixing, the well-known powerful figure in Liyue, he has only met Keqing so far.

"That woman wearing a golden cheongsam and holding a pipe. Standing next to her is the captain of the Death Omen, Beidou." Hu Tao simply pointed.

Jiang Bai also saw the person she was referring to.

This is a young and beautiful woman. Seeing her, Jiang Bai had only one word in his mind.

Elegant and luxurious.

At first glance, it is the kind of top to big people who are difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with.

But the woman next to her stood with her, but her temperament was not lost at all.

If Ningguang is graceful and luxurious, then this captain of Beidou is heroic, heroic and confident.

It was a kind of absolute confidence in strength, calm and majestic in every gesture.

Noticing Jiang Bai's gaze, they looked over.

Chapter 166 Yuheng Xing Keqing Respectfully Invites the Emperor

Hu Tao waved his hand as a greeting to them.

Jiang Bai grinned, after all, he didn't know each other, so nodding his head was just a greeting.

Originally, they just looked at each other to say hello, but what he didn't expect was that Ningguang and Beidou talked for a few words, and then walked straight towards them!

"Long time no see, Master Hu, who is this?"

Ning Guang smiled and greeted Hu Tao, then looked at Jiang Bai.

Hu Tao introduced to Ning Guang very politely: "This is our soul-walker, Jiang Bai, from the Hall of Rebirth."

After the introduction, he introduced Jiang Bai again in front of the two of them.

"This is Lord Tianquan Star Ningguang, and this is the Captain of the Big Dipper of the Death Star."

"The two have been admiring for a long time!" Jiang Bai showed a shy smile.

Jiang Bai originally thought that Ningguang was just a polite way, so he was just saying hello.

But the reaction of not wanting to stare was completely beyond his expectation.

She has a smile on her face, she is obviously the most honored person in Liyue, but she is very approachable, without any pretensions, and looks easy to get along with.

She said in a slightly joking tone: "I have really admired you for a long time. I have always heard of your name, and today is the first time I have met you."

"Master Ningguang has heard of a small person like me?" Jiang Bai was surprised.

He has only come to Liyue not long ago, except for wandering around Liyue with Hu Tao, he doesn't remember any major things he has done that could be noticed by Qixing.

Could it be because of the rumors circulating before?

That is, he came back from the dead with three heads and six arms, blue face and fangs...

Xiangling met because of this rumor.

It's just that this rumor has already happened during the time when he first came.This kind of legend in the streets and alleys quickly became popular and disappeared quickly.

No one mentions it now.

If Qi Xing noticed him because of the rumors, then he might have already figured out his identity thoroughly.

Jiang Bai is not worried. He doesn't know what his identity is, so naturally he doesn't feel guilty or afraid.

"There is a person who came back from the dead in the Hall of Resurrection, and Seven Stars naturally knows about such a major event."

Ning Guang said this matter openly, and didn't mean to hide anything.

This is normal, after all, Qixing monitors Liyue, if they don't know anything, they will be criticized.

And this time it was just a coincidence to meet, just to get to know each other, there is no other purpose in it.

In the end, Jiang Bai is just a small person. Although he has the eye of God, he doesn't show much value. It's just that the origin is a little weird, but it's not worth the effort to win him over. It's enough to maintain a friendly relationship .

As for Beidou, she just followed Ning Guang to say hello.

"I've heard a little bit about you on the Death Star! From a certain point of view, you are quite famous!" Beidou smiled and patted Jiang Bai's shoulder.

Before Ning Guang mentioned this matter, she really didn't know that this man with a fair face was the protagonist of the rumors some time ago.

It can only be said that the rumors are worthy of being rumors. They are spread in a mess and are far from the truth.

"That's right! I also heard about your name, Captain Beidou, when I was wandering in the port!" Jiang Bai also laughed.

What did the cake that Hu Tao drew for him spread the name of [Soul Ferryer Jiang Bai] all over Tivat. This name has not yet spread, but this outrageous message has spread all over Liyue Port.

"Hahahaha, there is a chance to come and play on my boat!"

After chatting for a few words, as the time came, please let Xiandian formally begin.

A huge bell rang, and the noisy Yujing Terrace fell silent.

Layers of bells reverberated from Yujing Terrace and echoed throughout Liyue Port.

Hearing the bell, everyone knew that the fairy ceremony had begun.

The ceremonial staff played the chime, and Ke Qing, dressed in a complicated dress, walked to the censer and began her speech to the general public.

Leaders' speeches all have the same tone - long.

And special officials.

Fortunately, Keqing is not a pedantic person, so she did not prepare many speeches, which greatly shortened the time.

After finishing her speech, she lit three tall incense sticks that were as thick as her index fingers, and after reciting a long sacrificial rite, she solemnly inserted the incense sticks into the censer.

The chime bells changed their tunes, Keqing played the tune, and the Qianyan Army on the scene sang the ancient tunes together.

This tune is passionate and tactful, and the recitation is soul-stirring.

After performing several rituals, Keqing took out a long scroll from her sleeve and recited it again.

It's just that this time it's not the leader who speaks, but an invitation to the emperor to show up.

Jiang Bai finally saw how complicated this invitation ceremony is, the process is cumbersome, it is all formalism, and he is about to fall asleep.

No wonder Liyueren didn't like to come, and he wouldn't come to see it a second time.

Fortunately, this long process finally came to an end, and Ke Qing's sonorous and clear voice woke everyone up from that drowsy state in time.

"... Yuheng Xing Keqing respectfully invites the emperor!"

Jiang Bai saw that the clouds in the sky had changed, and the original white clouds suddenly changed color, as if they were dyed with a layer of golden clouds.

A vortex slowly emerged from the clouds, and a huge figure poked its head out of the clouds, followed by its limbs, torso, and finally its entire body was exposed.

This is a majestic dragon.

The horns are like a deer, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like a rabbit, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like those of a fish, the claws are like those of an eagle, the palms are like those of a tiger, and the ears are like those of an ox.

His body has a thick color like a rock, and his shining eyes exude golden light.

His gaze was fixed on Liyue Harbor below, on the crowd, on Yuheng Xing Keqing standing in the center of the altar, and a sense of deterrence that belonged to the gods rushed over his face.

The next moment, His body became smaller and fell onto the altar.

"Wow!" Jiang Bai, the onlookers, exclaimed.

"Is this the real body of Emperor Yanwang? It's completely different from the idol!"

"In the legends of Liyue, the emperor has many forms, but every time he invites the fairy, it will only appear in the form of a dragon." Turning the cigarette stick in his hand, the expression of condensed light is also reverent.

This is Emperor Yanwang, the god who has protected Liyue for three thousand and seven hundred years.

"This isn't the first time I've seen Dijun appear, but every time I see it, it makes my heart beat and I'm very excited." Hu Tao shook his fist, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

It's not in vain for them to stand here for several hours, and to see Dijun, this small price is totally worth it!

"Yes! I'm really glad that Liyue has such a patron saint." Beidou also felt it.

"I don't know what decree the emperor will issue this year. I hope it won't be related to seafood."

"How can Captain Beidou still worry about this?" Ning Guang teased.

Chapter 167 Questioning the Gods

"I have to take care of the food and clothing of so many people on my ship, and you, Qixing staring at me every day, I am naturally worried."

"If you don't take advantage of the prescribed loopholes, naturally I won't stare at you every day."

Ningguang and Beidou talked to each other, seemingly confronting each other, but the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

Jiang Bai found that these two people seemed to be opposites, but the relationship was quite good, and there was a feeling of mutual recognition but also as rivals.

Seeing that Jiang Bai couldn't understand what they were talking about, Hu Tao explained very intimately:

"The emperor will issue some oracles every year, such as which products will increase taxes and which types of products will reduce taxes.

"However, the oracles are all about the general content direction, involving many aspects, and the specific how to do it requires the Seven Stars to draw up the details and plans.

"Policy changes will definitely change the development of various industries to a certain extent, and will also cause certain market fluctuations, but they are all within a controllable range..."

What policies, taxes, and people's livelihood are too far away from Jiang Bai, and he doesn't pay much attention to them.

Hearing Hu Tao's explanation, he nodded.

Please Xiandianyi is still going on, and the rock king Dijun, who is almost as tall as two people, floats above the incense burner, and the majestic voice keeps coming out of his mouth.

It was an oracle.

The recorders next to them were already ready to record these oracles one by one.

Emperor Yan Wang issued [-] oracles this year, and these oracles involved all aspects.

From the economy, trade, diplomacy, people's livelihood, military... all aspects have given a general direction.

The people who came to Yujing Terrace listened carefully.

Most of them are merchants who came here to get first-hand information, and they were planning to find the right direction to make a fortune at the timing of this policy change, so they refused to let go of any details of the oracle.

As for Jiang Bai and Hu Tao, they will be more casual.

No matter how the policy is changed, the funeral of the dead will always be held, and the change of the policy has no effect on them.

Of course, if taxes are to be raised in this area, it will have an impact.

Let Xian Dianyi come to an end in the records of people swiping and writing.

In fact, there is another link at the end of inviting Xian Dianyi, but it is not at Yujing Terrace, but at Yuehai Pavilion where Qixing works.

Emperor Yanwang will stay in Yuehai Pavilion for a period of time to see the government affairs of this year and check the results.

If there is any doubt about this year's policy, Qixing will also inquire. If there are major issues that cannot be decided, the emperor can also ask the emperor to check.

It's just that the specific content cannot be known to outsiders.

As the final bell rang, Emperor Yanwang took human form, surrounded by Qianyan Army, and led by Keqing to Yuehai Pavilion.

The emperor left, and the crowd dispersed one after another.

Jiang Bai put a rock pillar under his feet, and lifted himself into the air, wanting to see what the human-shaped rock king looks like.

However, even though he has gained the height advantage, he still can only see a white hood and a cloak that can cover his body, and the entire body of the Rock King Dijun is hidden in the hood and cloak.

"This looks really like the image of the Seven Heavens God Statue..."
