Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

For Liyue Harbor and even the entire Liyue, today is a special day, because it is the legendary "Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony". Today, the Rock King will grant an oracle to guide the development direction of Liyue in the next year. Last year, the Rock King issued 17 oracles, which caused a great shock in the market.

Such a grand ceremony is always hosted by one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. Last year, it was hosted by Keqing, the "Yuheng Star" among the Seven Stars. According to Li Mochen, the last "Seven Stars Inviting the Immortals Ceremony" also caused a sensation, because at that ceremony, Keqing asked a shocking question: "The Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same in the next thousand years, or even ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?" The whole audience was shocked when this was said. After all, the people of Liyue are used to living with gods and have never imagined a future without gods. Despite this, the Emperor only left a meaningful laugh and did not make a clear statement.

However, the ceremony held today may reveal his thoughts in an unexpected way. Li Mochen rushed to Liyue Harbor early in the morning. Because Shenhe had social phobia and was not suitable for such occasions, he did not bring her with him. Even so, Li Mochen still arrived at the gate of Liyue Harbor in advance to meet up with his friends.

At the entrance of the crowded Liyue Harbor, Klee, dressed in red, was jumping up and down excitedly. "Hey, big brother, here, here!" Li Mochen had promised to bring Klee to see the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals", so he asked for leave from Captain Jean a few days ago and brought Klee over. However, Jean was worried about letting Klee come alone, so she specially sent a member of the Knights of Favonius to accompany her.

Standing next to Klee at the moment was the mature purple lady, Lisa, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius. "Brother Mochen, long time no see." Lisa smiled and nodded at Li Mochen. Lisa was probably the only person that Jean could trust to leave Klee to.

"Sister Lisa, hello." However, when Li Mochen saw this beautiful mature woman, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, because he was not very good at dealing with this kind of women. To some extent, Lisa and Ningguang were somewhat similar. They both had beautiful faces, tall figures and unique intellectual charm. At this moment, Lisa was looking at Li Mochen with interest, which made him feel even more uneasy.

"Hey, big brother, where's Qiqi? Where is Qiqi?" Before Li Mochen and Lisa could finish their conversation, Keli had already jumped onto his back. "Big brother, I want to watch the 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals' and play with Qiqi." Since the last trip to Liyue, the ice and fire duo have become good friends, and their friendship is as close as using a paste on each other's faces.

"Qiqi should be here soon. I've told her...ah, look over there." Just as Li Mochen was about to take Keli off his back, he happened to see the small figure running towards them in the distance.

Still dressed as a zombie with talismans on his face, still with that slow and carefree personality and listless expression. A week ago, Qiqi awakened the power of "Jiuku Du'e Zhenjun" and returned to a state close to that of an ordinary person. She is no longer as cute as before. However, Qiqi still chose to return to "Bubu Lu" and stay in the medicine house temporarily. The reason she gave was to observe Baizhu.

"Qiqi, do you think there is something wrong with Boss Bai?" "A little bit. His original purpose of adopting me was not simple. He was probably looking for some way to immortality."

Based on Bai Zhu's false kindness in taking Qiqi in, and the fact that he named his pet white snake "Changsheng", it can be seen that Bai Zhu is hiding something. Therefore, after Qiqi regained her normal thinking and memory, she felt more and more that something was wrong with Bai Zhu, and decided to stay in Bubulu and continue to pretend to be a clumsy zombie to see what Boss Bai was doing.

Li Mochen fully respected this. Qiqi was now a genuine immortal, with the same strength as Ganyu, and was a lower-level god-level warrior. Her level was not inferior to that of the Fatui's executive officer, and she was not inferior to Tartaglia last time. Even if Baishu had suspicious intentions, Qiqi had enough ability to protect herself and would not be used by others.

"Big brother, and, hello, big sister." When Qiqi came in front of Keli and Lisa, she held two large balls in her hands and greeted Li Mochen and Lisa skillfully, still maintaining her cute look. I have to admit that Qiqi has a talent for acting in this regard. Although she is no longer a zombie, but a corpse fairy, she is still very familiar with the image of the past, especially the confused expression on her face and the slow tone of voice, which are exactly the same as in the past.

"Oh, are you Qiqi? What a lovely girl." Lisa liked Qiqi very much, and immediately reached out to touch Qiqi's head, with a doting look on her face. At this time, Keli, who was standing next to her, stared at the two balls in Qiqi's hands, her saliva was about to flow out.

"Do you want to eat?" "Yes! I want to eat!"

"Then let's compete to see who is taller?" As he said that, Qiqi raised the ball in his hand and shook it in front of Keli's eyes.

However, Li Mochen noticed a sly gleam in Qiqi's dull eyes.

"Of course I'm taller."

"Oh, I am shorter then, so I need to eat more to grow taller."

Ah, Qiqi bit off a large piece in front of Keli. Seeing this scene, Keli was so anxious that she jumped up and down.

"Wait! I suddenly remembered that I seem to be a little shorter!"

"Really? Then you can eat this."

After Klee finally admitted that she was shorter than Qiqi, Qiqi handed her the one in her other hand. However, when Klee took it and took a big bite, Qiqi smiled with a "successful plan".

Seeing Qiqi and Keli walking towards the lively crowd with snacks in their hands and laughing all the way, Lisa couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth. She was happy that Keli could find a friend like Qiqi.

In Mondstadt, no child of the same age dared to play with Klee. After all, the adults had reason to worry that their children would be blown up by Klee, the little bomb expert. So, Li Mochen, Lisa, Qiqi and Klee formed a four-person team and went to Liyue Harbor to participate in today's "Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony".

The crowds of people were endless, and the Liyue Harbor became extremely noisy because of this grand event. In the past few days, tourists from all over the world have come here in droves, just to see the spectacular sight of Morax's arrival. The people of Liyue are good at business, and naturally they will not miss this excellent opportunity to promote local culture and specialties. Therefore, all kinds of vendors are set up along the street, from food and snack stalls, gambling stone stalls to silk clothing and fake famous calligraphy and painting stalls. No matter who strolls around here, they can always find their favorites and empty their wallets for it.

"Wow! There are so many people here! There's so much food, too! It's great! Hahahahaha!"

Walking to the center of the city, Keli grabbed an apple candy in one hand and coconut milk in the other, dragged Qiqi and plunged into the bustling crowd, laughing excitedly. Because she was too happy, Keli had forgotten everything else. If it weren't for Qiqi's secret care, she would have been drowned in the crowd. As for Li Mochen and Lisa, they no longer cared about controlling Keli. They each held a variety of snacks in their hands and ate while walking, busy and happy.

Logically speaking, Lisa's education would not let her do such a disregarding behavior, but now the warm and extraordinary atmosphere in Liyue Port infected her. The aroma of food in the streets and alleys was irresistible, so she threw away her reserve and tasted the delicious vegetable skewers with Li Mochen.

"I didn't expect these street snacks to be so delicious. I didn't even notice them the last time I watched the 'Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony'."

After eating a few skewers of vegetables, Lisa wiped the corners of her mouth elegantly with a napkin and said to Li Mochen beside her with a smile.

"Oh? Miss Lisa, you have also come to see the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony before?"

In Li Mochen's impression, Lisa was more like a well-read person, and it was unlikely that she would be keen on traveling around. However, Lisa's next answer surprised him a little.

"Of course. After I came back from studying abroad in Xumi, the first thing I did was to come here and witness the arrival of the gods with my own eyes."

"So Miss Lisa, you have studied abroad in Xumi? You are really well-informed."

There was a hint of surprise in Li Mochen's words. After all, in his mind, Lisa was more like an intellectual buried in her study.

"Hehe, you're wrong. I thought you would think I was a nerd who only dealt with books all day long."

Hearing Lisa's teasing, Li Mochen couldn't help but blush and smiled awkwardly. In fact, Lisa was not a theorist who only talked about theory on paper, but an experientialist who had traveled to many places and met countless people.

"What is this place called Xumi like? I heard that wisdom and learning are highly valued there."

Speaking of "Sumeru", Li Mochen's curiosity was aroused. Although Xumi is located in the central part of the continent, close to Liyue and Mondstadt, it has always been shrouded in mystery. In Liyue Harbor, although residents from various countries gather, Xumi people are quite rare, only slightly more than the even rarer Nata people. It is said that Xumi is a place that attaches great importance to knowledge and wisdom, which is very consistent with Lisa's temperament.

"That's true, but excessive pursuit of knowledge and wisdom may not necessarily be a good thing."

Lisa's tone was a little heavy, and it was obvious that she was thinking of some unpleasant past events. Li Mochen noticed this and changed the subject in time.

"Ms. Lisa, when was the last time you came to Liyue? Who was the Seven Stars who presided over the ceremony at that time?"

After all, the Seven Stars rotate every year, so Li Mochen asked this question.

"Oh, what a coincidence, that ceremony was also presided over by this 'Tianquanxing'."

"So, Ms. Lisa, you should have come to Liyue seven years ago?"

According to the calculation that the seven stars take turns to preside over the ceremony every year, Lisa had seen the ceremony presided over by Ningguang seven years ago.

"Hey, time goes by so fast, I can't remember exactly how long it has been."

When Lisa mentioned the number seven years, her eyes flickered a few times and she smiled slyly. As for her real age and Ningguang's age, I'm afraid there are deeper secrets hidden in it.

The topic has gone off topic. The four of them soon arrived at the destination of this trip - Yujing Terrace. As the commanding height of this port city and the best place to communicate with the gods, Yujing Terrace, as one of the administrative departments of Liyue, usually does not gather too many people. But today is different, because the "Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony" is about to begin, and the square outside Yujing Terrace is already crowded and bustling. There are two large incense burners on both sides of the square, and many people are burning incense and praying there.

"It is said that praying on the day of inviting the gods is particularly effective. Do you two kids want to try it?"

Lisa pulled Keli and Qiqi to her side and asked with a smile.

"After I pray, will the Rock God coming from the 'Send Immortal Ceremony' help me realize my wish?"

"Keli, that's 'inviting the immortals to attend the ceremony', not 'sending the immortals to attend the ceremony'... Don't talk nonsense, or else people will laugh at you."

Lisa patted Kelly's head gently, then led them to the incense burner.
