The young master looked at the traveler and Paimon who were running over and smiled kindly,"Hey, you're here."

Then, the young master placed his palm on his heart.

"The agreement has been fulfilled. I have found someone who can help you... someone who can solve the problem of the God of Rock's immortal body being hidden by the Seven Stars."

Paimeng looked around, searching for that person:"So, where is this person? In the Glazed Pavilion?"

The young master smiled indifferently and motioned for the two to follow him.

"Yes, follow me."

"I prepared a meeting ceremony... well, in this country, it's called a dinner party."

Then, the two of them, led by the young master, walked into the Liuli Pavilion.

"I am honored to see you again, my humble shop is honored."

"The private room is ready, Mr. Zhongli is waiting for you two."

Inside,

Zhongli was drinking tea calmly, as if he was not interested in anything.

……

Hall of the Dead

"!!!"

""Guest, it's you!"

Hu Tao looked at Zhongli. She never expected that he would be there.

Zhongli seemed to have known everything and was ready to appear in there.

"It's nothing, just a small favor for the public"

……

The young master introduced to the traveler and Paimeng:"Let me introduce you, this friend is a Taoist, a guest of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli."

The traveler scratched his head, feeling that this sentence was a bit confusing.

""People from the underworld?"

The young master nodded and explained,"Well, in Liyue, an industry like Wangsheng Hall always has to come into contact with some underworld voices."

The young master smiled calmly.

"And we fools, always like to be with these……"

He thought for a while, thinking about what words to use to describe it better.

"……Dealing with friends who walk in the shadows."

Spread the word, Zhongli is the gangster boss!

Wow, he turned out to be a social person!

Paimon was shocked by these three words, and subconsciously touched his chin:"In, walking in the shadows……"

Zhongli looked up at the others, placed the teacup on the table, and said softly,"Glad to meet you two. I have heard rumors about you in Mondstadt."

……

"Emergency Food: Hiss, it's so scary, could it be that the organization of Wangshengtang is……"

"Lighter: I understand. Wangshengtang is the big brother organization."

"Crematorium Director:……"

"Crematorium Director: No."

"Director of the crematorium: What on earth is this stupid guy talking about?"

"Thunder Lighting Fungus: Hahahahahahaha"

"Oz Launcher: Hahahaha"

"Fungi that push people into the sea: quite interesting"

"Baba Toss: Ah, is this the identity?"

"Liyue Wolong: Wow, that's not right, isn't Zhongli a guest of the Wangsheng Hall? It's a serious business, how come it comes out of the young master's mouth, it feels weird?"

"Liyue Phoenix: That’s right"

"Social waste:……"

"Crematorium Director:……"

"Son:……"

"Young Master: Hmm?"

"Young Master: Isn’t what I said very clear?"

"Young Master: Nothing wrong, walking in the shadows……"

……

Paimeng looked Zhongli up and down , and looked him over and over again:"People in the underworld... shadows... sending people to the afterlife... wow!"

"Could it be that the organization of Wangshengtang is……"

Zhongli nodded and said,"Yes, just as you guessed."

Paimon was shocked and covered his mouth in surprise.

"ah……"

Zhongli seemed to notice that Paimon might have misunderstood something.

"The Wangshengtang is an organization that manages funerals, aiming to help people pass away peacefully."

""Huh."

Hearing this identity,

Paimeng was a little disappointed.

So this is what he is like, not cool at all, not fun at all. He thought he was a killer or an assassin.

The young master also guessed that

Paimeng misunderstood Zhongli's identity, and laughed and teased:"Haha, did you mistake Mr. Zhongli for a killer???"

"There are indeed many assassins among the Fatui's friends, but the Wangsheng Hall is not in this line of work... at least not on the surface."

"On the surface……"

The young master waved his hand, indicating that he should not dwell too much on this issue and just move on to the next topic.

"After all, he is still a gangster, so I can't go into details. Anyway, I am bringing you to meet Zhongli because……"

Zhongli interrupted the young master and said calmly:

"Because I have a way to let you see the immortal body of the Rock King."

Paimon clenched his fist in surprise:"What!?"

The young master smiled and shook his head.

"Ha, don't be surprised. Although the immortal body of the Rock God has long been hidden under the control of Tianquan Xing Ningguang... But, let's listen to Zhongli's words first."

Zhongli explained:"Although the Rock God is the ancestor of all immortals, he is still one of the immortals. Looking at the thousands of years of history of Liyue, the immortals have left one after another. This is an irreversible trend."

Then, he pointed to the Traveler and Paimon.

"Because the times have changed... You should have experienced this change in Jueyunjian."

"Indeed, the immortals are moving away from Liyue."

"As you can see, the age of immortals is fading away, and the age of humans is gradually becoming a reality."

"In previous years, when each immortal passed away, there would be a grand memorial ceremony. This is a tradition of Liyue, but this time even the Seven Stars didn't bother to take this tradition into consideration... It's really not good." The

Traveler and Paimon nodded seriously.

"After all, it is a strange case of murdering a god.……"

"Yes, the real murderer hasn't even been caught yet."

Zhongli shook his head. He was not interested in this matter. He was only interested in one thing, that is, sending the immortal away.

"The strange case of murdering a god... The Hall of Rebirth doesn't care about this kind of thing. What the Hall of Rebirth cares about is that the ceremony of inviting the gods is so grand, so is there no one to take care of the ceremony of sending the gods away?"

Attention: Barbatos syndrome is contagious!

……

Seven-day statue.

This scene made Wendy's eyes widen.

My hair!

Can it be played like this?

Wendy sighed and shook her head, watching the live broadcast, feeling that she was too simple, too stupid, such a smart way, how could she not think of it!

It has to be someone else!

It's just extraordinary!

……

Wangsheng Hall.

Zhongli shook his head.

If there was no live broadcast room, everything would be perfect.

What a pity.

It seems that the vest will not last long and will fall off.

Well, should we do something before it falls off?

"Who is this person?"

Zhongli looked at the live broadcast screen, thinking about the identity of the real person behind the scenes, and at the same time, integrating the current clues. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Who could it be?

……

St. Freya's College, dormitory

"Wow!"

"Are we going to hold a funeral for Emperor Rock?"[]

"It sounds like it's really cool!"

Raiden Mei nodded:"I feel like... this incident was the trigger."

"Perhaps... starting from this incident, Liyue will be in chaos, or in other words, the focus of Liyue will shift from the gods to humans."

Ban Ya listened to Mei's analysis and felt that there was something even more complicated behind this incident! From the rule of gods to the rule of humans, could it be that the Seven Stars were dissatisfied with the gods and did such an incident? Suppose the Seven Stars were dissatisfied with the gods and the immortals, so they did such a thing. No, there is no such possibility.

…… office

"Um"

"From Zhongli’s words, it seems that this matter is even more complicated!"

"Is the young master's introduction correct? This man named Zhongli has a very complicated identity."

"Knowing all these things, he is indeed a Taoist."

"From this perspective, the death of Emperor Rock King is not simple!"

"After death, they didn't allow a funeral. Was it because they were afraid that others would find out what had happened? Or was it because they were afraid that the immortals would find out that it was the Seven Stars who did it?"

"Of course, it's just speculation."

"After all, we don’t know the specifics."

……

Knights of Favonius

"From this perspective, this matter is very complicated!"

"yes!"

"It's getting more complicated"

"There is definitely a lot behind this matter!"

……

Star Train

"Um"

"Funeral of a god?"

"Is there only a ceremony to invite the gods, but no funeral for the gods? It seems complicated from this perspective!"

"It seems that it is most likely the work of the Liyue Seven Stars!"

"If there wasn't a ghost, how could they not let everyone participate!"

……

I see. The Rock King left but didn’t get to enjoy the feast. He was angry. Zhongli said that he just wanted to send him off as soon as possible so that he could relax and fish!!

So, what Zhongli meant was, why didn’t anyone invite him to a feast when he left? It’s a bit outrageous!!

So if I really die, you won’t even give me a funeral, right!

……

Zhongli had a blank expression on his face. It was impossible to discern any emotion from his face. He looked at the traveler and extended an invitation.

"Traveler, I heard about you from the young master. Since you have some friendship with the God of Wind... then, would you consider working with me to prepare a farewell ceremony for the God of Rock?"

The traveler scratched his head:"It's not impossible to accept the invitation.……"

The young master quickly praised:"A wise choice!"

"Tianquan Ningguang... She is preventing anyone from seeing the emperor's immortal body, so if you want to achieve your goal of finding the seven gods, this is the only way left."

After saying this, a mysterious expression appeared on his face.

Zhongli also nodded, still expressionless.

"That's right, only by participating in the Summoning Immortal Ceremony can you see the Rock God's body again."

"It seems there is no other way."

Zhongli nodded, indicating that we can leave now.

Let's go and get ready.

"Well, if you agree, come with me. We'll talk about the details on the way."

Paimeng looked at them in surprise. What? What the hell? We haven't eaten yet. Isn't it too early to leave now?

The young master smiled calmly and indicated that the mission was over. What he promised you had been completed:"Okay, my matchmaking mission has been completed. How about it? Isn't this a good result?"

Then he spoke loudly,

"If you want to leave, go ahead. Don't worry about me. I might have a few more drinks here... and learn how to use chopsticks."

0......

Young Master: I'll stay and pay the bill!

Chopsticks, Young Master's lifelong enemy!

Paimon: I haven't eaten yet! I haven't eaten yet!

……

Looking at the seven dishes on the table, Paimeng wiped his saliva and was dragged out by the Traveler.

Outside the door, the two saw

Zhongli who had walked out in advance.

Zhongli looked around with a melancholy look in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.

After the Traveler and Paimeng appeared, Zhongli spoke softly after a while

:"Traveler, after experiencing the city-state where the gods left, how do you feel about Liyue, a place with gods?"

The Traveler scratched his head.

"Well, it's pretty much the same."

"Liyue’s view of history is very heavy.

Zhongli smiled and nodded. Yes, Liyue’s view of history is very heavy:"Well, the 3,700-year history of the Land of the Gods is the deepest among the Seven Kingdoms."

……

St. Freya Academy, dormitory.

Kiana was surprised by Liyue's history.

"Three thousand seven hundred years……"

"Wow, so scary!"

"I didn't expect that Liyue has such a rich history.……"

……

Destiny Headquarters.

Otto tapped the armrest with his fingers:"Three thousand seven hundred years, Liyue's history is very long."

"With a history of nearly four thousand years, Emperor Rock is no simple man!"

"After thousands of years, I would probably be tired too. At present, Liyue is a bit too dependent on the Geo King.……"

……

Paradise of the Past

"Three thousand seven hundred years"

"Does this mean that Emperor Geo has been managing Liyue City for 3,700 years... Emmm, wouldn't he feel annoyed?"

"Maybe not 3,700 years, but it should be thousands of years. If it were me, I would definitely be annoyed."

"So we are not gods.……"

"The Rock King is great. If it was the Wind God next door, he would have run away and done nothing."

……

Zhongli continued,"The process of preparing for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony will also become a part of your journey, broadening your horizons."

"Liyue is the most prosperous of the seven kingdoms in the mortal world. In the past, it was guarded by gods and ruled by the seven stars. Therefore, many of the Fatui’s diplomatic tactics cannot be used in Liyue."

The next sentence tells the two of them the reason why the young master tried every means to contact him.

"Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, has always been on high alert against the Fatui. Perhaps this is why the young master wants to use the relationship with the Wangsheng Hall to get things done."

Paimeng put his hands behind his back, not understanding, what good would the ceremony of sending the immortals do for the young master ?

"Hmm... we are going to hold the Immortal Sending Ceremony, what benefits will it bring to you, young master?"

Zhongli shook his head. He was not clear about this and was not interested. Even if he knew, he would not say it at this time:"I don't know and I don't want to know. To me, the Fatui only provide financial support. I just hope that Liyue's tradition will not be forgotten."

Then, Zhongli took out something with a smile on his face. After the thing appeared, Paimeng was instantly attracted by it, his eyes fixed on it, his mouth opened in surprise!
