Original God's Dark Priest

"Legend has it that he acts freely, treats people sincerely, and has an open-minded nature." Ningguang naturally had never met Minghai Qixia Zhenjun. After all, he was an immortal who had been dead for many years, and all that was left now were a few words in historical materials.

Ying frowned and thought about it, then nodded slightly. She remembered that she had once entered a long-abandoned cave in the sea of ​​clouds, in which a Mingxia Floating Life Stone was stored.

She asked Saphir and learned that the Mingxia Floating Life Stone could be used as the core of a floating base after being blessed by magic and mechanisms. The core of Ningguang's Qun Yu Pavilion was such a thing.

Unfortunately, the Floating Life Stone was too big and Ying had no ability to move it, so he re-sealed the Cloud Sea Cave to prevent people with ulterior motives from entering and destroying the immortal's former residence.

Although there was no gain from that expedition, it made Ying firmly remember the owner of the cave: Minghai Qixia Zhenjun.

In this way, Zhenjun Minghai Qixia and Ningguang can be said to have a certain connection.

"On this occasion of the grand Lantern Festival, we pray for the heroic souls to return across the sea. If music could be heard along with the flowing water and spread to all directions, I wonder if their spirits in heaven would like the melody of this era." Ningguang sighed softly as she gazed at the blue sky above her head.

To ordinary people, the Sea Lantern Festival is a good day worth celebrating, but those who know the connotation of the Sea Lantern Festival understand that the core of the Sea Lantern Festival has never been celebration, but commemoration.

This is a festival established to commemorate ancestors and is a microcosm of Liyue's thousand-year heritage.

Its core has never been joy, but solemnity and sentimentality.

Little Paimeng didn't think too much about it. She just answered Ningguang's question by saying, "I think they will like it! After all, as Miss Ningguang said, immortals and heroes are open-minded by nature and should be very tolerant of new things!"

“Haha, that’s good.” Ningguang chuckled. Although the little guy’s answer seemed irrelevant to her, it did answer her most superficial question.

As for the question hidden deep in his words about whether cultural change is right or not, few people can answer it. Zhongli has no objection, and Ying is also trying hard to promote it. This may just illustrate the attitudes of the Emperor and Saphir.

"I heard that you will help Ganyu find the descendants of the legendary fairy. If anything interesting happens along the way, don't forget to tell me. I can't miss such a wonderful story." Ningguang felt much better and became interested in Dvorak's other purpose.

Ying nodded as a matter of course: "Of course! We have a deal."

There was still one day left before the time agreed with Ganyu, so Ying decided to go to the Yanshang Tea House to see how Safir and the others were tinkering with their work.

As soon as I entered the room, Jiang Li's voice was heard: "That's right! Klee, your singing is really great! Hey, Xiao, you have to be more lively, this song is not a heavy one, it has to be happy, happy, do you understand?

Qiqi...well, Qiqi, just hold on, it's okay."

"But Qiqi still can't remember the lyrics!" This was Wendy's helpless complaint.

It was Safire's voice that answered him: "I think it's a good idea, Qiqi. If you forget the words, just say you can't remember them. No one will blame you."

"I think the biggest problem is not forgetting the lyrics, but her speaking speed..." This is Rimuru's voice, "Qiqi sings slowly and can't keep up with the rhythm of the song at all."

Qiqi seemed confused and flustered: "Qiqi...did I cause you any trouble?"

"No way! Qiqi, you did a great job!" When Ying pushed the door open, Jiangli was giving Qiqi a thumbs up.

Saphir was a little surprised to see the two funny guys running back: "Are you back from visiting the immortals?"

"Why visit the immortal? We haven't dealt with Ganyu yet. I guess it should be done tomorrow." Ying quickly ran to Saphir, picked up the cup of tea in front of her and started drinking.

The way she drank tea so boldly made Safir's eyes twitch. After Ying finished the tea, Safir clicked his tongue and silently moved the teacup towards himself. This golden tea was very precious. How could she drink it like this? It was simply a waste of God's gift.

Ying didn't notice Safir's little move, but focused on Jiang Li and the others: "Are they rehearsing a show?"

"It can't be considered a rehearsal, just a preliminary run-in. I don't know where Jiangli got this song from, but it's quite interesting." Saphir said and waved his hand. Chu Yi immediately came over with a teapot and teacups, poured tea for Ying and little Paimeng respectively, and refilled Saphir's empty cup with new tea.

Ying nodded thoughtfully, and was a little curious: "Why didn't you join in? I remember you were going to perform too?"

"Me? I'm different." Safire took out a piece of paper with a string of lyrics and music on it.

She frowned slightly, and seemed reluctant, because she could tell that this was a song adapted to cater to rock music, and the rhythm and drum beats didn't particularly match the lyrics, but...

It's okay, and it's not too difficult for her to sing, but she still wants to listen to the original version of the song, which should be more beautiful.

Soon it was noon, and everyone went back to Chen Ge Hu to have lunch together. Then in the afternoon, Xin Yan came over.

It was not difficult for her to invite people from other countries to participate in the Lantern Festival, but the difficulty lay in how to reach Liyue quickly.

The people who agreed to come this time were Barbara, Kamisato Ayaka, and Nel.

Among them, Nilu is in Xumi City, not far from Liyue Harbor. She has already set off. Considering that she is also the holder of the Eye of God, she is expected to arrive in the evening. As for the remaining Barbara, it is no problem for her to come by herself, but there will not be enough time.

As for Kamisato Ayaka...

It would be too late for her to come here by herself, so she had to rely on Ying's Chen Ge Pot.

Among the residents of the pot, only Safir appeared without any hesitation without saying hello. Others would not do this. After all, no matter how thick-skinned a person is, he would still feel troubled, so everyone maintained the proper sense of boundaries.

As for Saphir, every time she appeared using this method, she would maintain her hidden state, and no one would notice that she had arrived, so it was not a problem for Ying.

Upon hearing Xin Yan's request, Ying agreed immediately. After dinner, she ran to the open-air balcony of the Yanshang Tea House. It was spacious here, and there was no need to worry about others falling and getting injured when they showed up.

Soon, Kamisato Ayaka was the first to emerge from the fairy mist and looked around with curiosity: "Is this Teacher Su Jin's Rock Tea Room?"

It was her first time traveling so far away, and she was full of curiosity.

"Linghua! Welcome to Liyue!" Little Paimon immediately welcomed Linghua like a host.

Ying also smiled: "Yes, how does it compare to your Mulou Teahouse?"

"Of course they each have their merits, but this side is obviously more lively. After all, the Mulou Teahouse seldom entertains guests, so it lacks a bit of the atmosphere of home." Kamisato Ayaka said softly, covering half of her face with a fan.

Saphir didn't indulge Ying at all and directly pinched Ying's cheek: "Don't stir up trouble here, or I'll punish you by making you pay Zhongli for the bill."

"Then you'd better sell me. Look at how much the few pounds of meat on my body is worth. Exchange it all for Mora." Ying did not resist when her face was pinched, and she seemed to be in a desperate attitude.

Hearing her words, Kamisato Ayaka chuckled. Ying was indeed an interesting guy.

Safir's eyebrows were raised: "Well, you are the one who takes the opportunity to lose weight!"

"If I could become rich overnight, I could sleep with Linghua every day!" Ying began to fantasize.

This made Kamisato Ayaka blush, and Saphir even put some strength in his hands: "You kid, you're eating and taking, right? You don't want to suffer any loss at all!"

"Hiss... It hurts! My face is going to be pinched into a dumpling!" Saphir was using a giant soldier, and just a little bit of strength was enough for Ying to unbear the pain and she begged for mercy.

Seeing this yellow-haired girl being punished, Kamisato Ayaka felt a little happy, but she knew that this was not the emotion a lady from a noble family should have, so she pleaded for Ying: "Forget it, Ying was just joking."

Little Paimon held her back and said, "Linghua, you don't know that this person has been raiding people's houses at night almost every day since she became acquainted with Saphir, rain or shine. And now she says she wants to sleep with you... Think about it, think about it carefully."

"Ah, this..." Kamisato Ayaka didn't know what to say for a moment. Her high quality limited her vocabulary, so that she was now speechless.

But someone would become her mouthpiece, it was Barbara who had just landed. The little girl listened to everything Paimon said completely, and then said faster than her brain: "Isn't this just getting tired of the old and loving the new? What a scumbag behavior."

She regretted it after she said it, as it was not in line with her personality.

After thinking for a while, she added: "It's not that serious. It's just a joke, right?"

"Thank you, Barbara." Kamisato Ayaka thanked her sincerely. Barbara said the words that she could not say at all regardless of her image.

Ying over there was completely broken-hearted. She had never thought that such a small sentence could cause so much harm. The traveler, who was known for his shamelessness, was actually broken down by it.

Saphir stretched out his hand and rubbed Ying's head, ruffling her golden hair into a mess, then clapped his hands contentedly: "Okay, both of you, since you are all invited here, the matter should be clear.

This time, Mr. Dvorak will hold a Rainbow Tour in Liyue Harbor during the Lantern Festival. Xin Yan wants to participate and has invited you. This is considered an internal recommendation.

But the program needs to be reviewed, so I hope you two can take it seriously, otherwise if the program fails, you won’t be able to perform in front of the audience.”

The two listened carefully and knew the purpose of this trip very well. Although the Rainbow Tour was not particularly famous, people who were interested in singing and dancing would always get news related to it. After all, they were people in this circle, so it was normal for them to know a thing or two.

They are also looking forward to performing on the Rainbow Tour and will naturally prepare their programs well.

In the Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli was in great trouble, and the cause was his good leader: Hutao.

"Oh... Guest... just agree to me, just once, just once! This is the biggest request of my life! Please, please~" Hu Tao was grabbing Zhongli's arm and shaking it hard, with that little girl's attitude, just like a daughter who is acting coquettishly to her old father.

Zhongli frowned and looked at the leaky cotton jacket wrapped around him, with mixed feelings: "Master, it's not that I don't want to, but... um..."

Well, he just didn't want to.

"I'm just giving you some support, but you're acting like this?" Hu Tao frowned and pretended to be serious. "It seems I have to evaluate your work ability!"

Zhongli doesn't care. Doesn't Hu Tao know whether he has the ability or not? What can she do if she fires him? The main character is a stubborn person.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Saphir is going to perform on stage, and you must want to stay in the audience and watch. You usually go to the Rock Teahouse and Moonlight Tavern whenever you have time. You gave me such a precious gift when we first met. Guest, you..." Walnut's plum blossom pupils turned slowly, trying to threaten.

Zhongli said calmly: "The innocent are innocent. The threat from the hall master is too childish."

"No room for negotiation?" Hu Tao said in a frustrated tone. "Let me tell you, this is truly a fantastic show... It will definitely be like fireworks, going up in the air with a bang, and then exploding in Liyue Harbor with a whoosh!, causing a huge sensation."

Zhongli remained unmoved and drank tea with his eyes closed.

Seeing Zhongli like this, Hu Tao had no choice but to give up. After all, she was not the kind of leader who would force her employees to do things that were difficult for them. "Well, forget it. I guess you don't know anything about music either. It's pointless to ask you about this."

Zhongli's fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly. He vaguely remembered that he had heard similar words a long time ago.

"Alas, why do you ask the Emperor about music? He is just a piece of stone. It's good enough that he can explain Bai Gong Shang Jiao Wei Yu. Do you still expect him to modify the music score for you? Ah Ping, you..."

The emperor was very embarrassed, so after the person who said this died, he studied music seriously for a period of time until he achieved some success.

Otherwise, he would not have easily said words that could guide Yun Jin in Yunhan Society.

His guidance was not only based on the narration of the opera, but he also often corrected some flaws in the music.

After all, Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and well-informed, so how could he know nothing about music?

How he wanted to tell that person: "I have studied music very deeply. If you wake up, I can talk to you about music."

Yes, wasn't all the effort I made in the past to prove that I was not weak in this aspect? Why have I forgotten it now?

Or is it that because the person has returned, the feelings of the past have become unimportant?

He didn't know, but he felt that maybe he should really complete this thing, even if it was just for some obsession in the past.

Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand with a bit of force, as if he had made up his mind: "Master, please stay."

"Huh?" Hu Tao, who was about to leave to find Xin Yan, was slightly stunned and turned to look at Zhongli.

Zhongli took a deep breath and showed a determined expression: "For this performance, I hope that the hall master can let Zhong take the role of conductor."

"Conductor?" Hu Tao frowned. She had never thought about it so much! Was Zhongli serious? Conductor? How many people would it take to make a band? Did she, Hu Tao, have such a big reputation?

Zhongli stood up slowly and took a long breath. "Don't worry about the number of people, Hall Master. I will solve all the difficulties."

"Zhongli, you...hiss...are so serious..." Hu Tao looked at Zhongli without blinking. She felt that maybe her words had irritated him, but it didn't matter. Since Zhongli decided to join, that was the best outcome.

Thinking of this, Hu Tao raised the corner of his mouth and opened the door of the Wangsheng Hall. The sunlight shone in from outside the door, casting a shadow behind Hu Tao.

"Guest." Hu Tao suddenly turned around, her face full of expectation and pride. She was facing the light, like a messenger of God walking out of the light. "Let's make a big scene!"
