The Golden Tree Standing in Teyvat World

Chapter 315

"All of you here are big names with great reputations. You have heard of each other more or less, and many of you are acquaintances. Don't be so particular about it."

At this time, Hu Tao didn't find anything unusual, so she asked Ying, "I heard that the Great Sage and Traveler are very familiar, right?"

"Yeah." Ying nodded.

"That's good, you two sit together!"

As soon as Hu Tao's words fell, Tassel quickly vacated the position and moved a space outside. Seeing this, the corners of Mandrill's eyes couldn't help twitching for a while. A bad premonition arose, but he still bit the bullet and sat next to Ying.

fluorescent:"."

If the atmosphere wasn't right now, she would have taken out her phone to take pictures.

"Hall Master please too." Zhong Li said.

"Oh, did you remember calling me?" Hu Tao nodded and said, "It just so happened that when I came here, the waiter at Xinyuexuan said that the dishes I ordered before have already started to be cooked."

"It's not too late, let them serve the food."

After all the dishes were served, everyone began to eat slowly. Except for Liusu and Zhongli, everyone at the table was a little cautious, and they were still talking about something quietly for this reason.

"Zhongli." Tassel said via voice transmission.

Zhong Li asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"Live all day?"

"How?"

"This way, this way"

"Not so good?"

"What are you afraid of? You are using Zhongli's identity. Isn't that what you should do?" Liusu persuaded, "Besides, what does Zhongli do have anything to do with Morax?"

"Uh, what you said is reasonable. Zhongli really has nothing to do with Morax."

"That's right, we're both freaking out, don't worry, Mandrill won't expose himself, don't worry."

"Would it be a little bad for Mandrill?"

"Don't worry, Mandrill already knows about other things about Yasha's recovery, so it won't cause him a psychological burden. You can see the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which shows that he is in a good mood from now on. "

Zhong Li glanced at Mandrill calmly, and felt that his spirit was indeed no longer sluggish, but revealed a kind of longing and hope for the future.

So he immediately nodded and responded: "Alright, then do as you said."

While the two were talking in secret, Mandrill suddenly felt a chill rushing up his spine. He looked at Tassel and Zhongli on his right with some puzzlement, but he didn't see it from their expressions. anything wrong.

"It's probably just an illusion, right?" Mandrill turned his head, comforting himself inwardly.

When everyone had finished eating, Paimon suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I never expected that the guest Hu Tao picked up was Mandrill."

"It's also the first time I know that Traveler and Paimon are good friends of the Great Sage Conquering Demons." Chong Yun echoed.

"Chongyun also knows Mandrill?"

"It's not accurate to say that I know her well. It should be said that she has been famous for a long time like Miss Liusu." Chong Yun said in a low voice.

But this sentence made Mandrill glance at him involuntarily. He has heard the name for a long time, and he has heard the name for a long time. What are you talking about Xianjun?
"Pimeng may not know that our alchemist faction has some connections with the Great Sage of Subduing Demons. There has been a long history of exorcising demons together in the light and in the dark."

"I didn't expect to be able to see the Great Sage Conquering Demons with my own eyes today with the help of the hall master. I'm so polite."

Although Mandrill was upset in his heart, he still suppressed the expression on his face and said, "You're welcome."

After Chongyun finished speaking, Xingqiu also said, "It's a great honor for me to meet the legendary Great Sage Conquering Demons. I've heard Chongyun mention it before."

"I remember what you said, we must let the Great Sage Conquering Demons know the importance of exorcising alchemists."

Chong Yun: "Cough, cough, cough!"

Seeing that Chongyun was caught in an awkward situation, Xiangling hurriedly changed the subject to excuse him: "Hey, that, we also know each other!"

"During the Chef King Contest before, the Immortal even helped me try the dishes!"

"Hey, I didn't expect to have a chance to see you again. Happy Sea Lantern Festival!"

Xingqiu also took advantage of the situation and introduced himself: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. This is Xiangling and Chongyun's friend Xingqiu. Be polite."

"Wow, everyone suddenly became respectful, I don't know how to interrupt."

Paimon scratched his head, then turned to Mandrill next to him and said, "Uh, Lord Mandrill, the great sage who descended from the devil! Paimon also bows to you, wishing you a happy Sea Lantern Festival!"

"Paimon, the Sea Lantern Festival is over, and you're still wishing here." Ying complained helplessly.

"I've worked really hard on my wording, don't pick me up!"

Mandrill said stiffly, "Everyone, don't be too polite."

But when he saw that the two on his left didn't intend to speak now, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Puff." Hu Tao moistened her throat and said, "The great sage is right. It's originally acquaintances who eat together. If you respect each other like this, it will make people nervous."

"It's not the original intention of my hall master to invite everyone to dinner to make you be so cautious."

Paimon asked suspiciously, "What is the original purpose of the walnut?"

"Inviting relatives and friends to have a small gathering, enjoy the good tea in the cup, and enjoy the lanterns on the dome together. It is said to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one."

Hu Tao replied: "The above is what Ke Qing would say. I suggest everyone applaud."

clap clap.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Liusu applauded immediately, and Mandrill also applauded involuntarily.

Zhongli: "."

Tassel, isn't it the promised whole mandrill?You count me in?

Thinking of this, Zhong Li secretly sighed and said: Forget it, you shouldn't have too high expectations for her.

"Indeed, the hall master learned it really well."

"As for me, I just want to have fun and invite everyone to eat some delicious food." Hu Tao nodded and said, "Everyone is working hard this year, whether it's traveling or being a guide—"

"Cooking, doing business, exorcising evil spirits, or subduing demons—"

"There is also Ke Qing who helps with work from time to time in the hall, ah."

"Everyone is amazing."

"And the hall master who can bring everyone together is the most amazing person!"

Mandrill couldn't deny Hu Tao's words. The two gods, Liyue and Liyue, packed and invited them over together.

Paimon also nodded and said: "Oh. Although it sounds a little arrogant, it is indeed a remarkable thing to be able to call Mandrill who doesn't come into Liyue Port very much."

"I'm also curious about the process." Ying nodded in agreement.

Mandrill said softly, "It's not as complicated as you think."

Following Mandrill's narration, a picture gradually emerged in everyone's minds.

After talking with the proprietress of Wangshu Inn, Hu Tao came to the roof of Wangshu Inn and shouted loudly to the top: "The Great Sage Conquering the Demon———"

"The patron saint of Wangshu Inn - the hero of Dihuazhou -"

"Are you here—"

Mandrill: "Tsk"

As expected of a girl that even the emperor can't handle, she really has his difficulties.

Thinking of this, Mandrill said to the walnut below: "Be quiet! Don't disturb the quietness of others."

"Ouch, I'm so sorry. But otherwise, you wouldn't show up, right?" Hu Tao raised her head and said with a smile to Mandrill above.

Mandrill was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, ".I recognize you, the Seventh Generation Hall Master of No. 70 of the Past Life Hall."

"Is there something important for you?"

Hearing this, Chongyun said: "So... the Great Sage Conquering the Devil agreed to prevent the walnuts from messing around?"

"I think there should be other origins."

"Huo, Ke Qing is smart."

"Oh? Is there any more content?" Xiangling asked in surprise.

Hu Tao replied with a smile: "The next step is actually a boring pace, just talking about the past of the Guishengtang and Xianzhong Yasha, just for the sake of getting close."

"It is said that during the War of the Demon Gods, there were frequent disputes and disasters, and human beings could not escape the torture of disease and death."

"The immortals subdued the demons and eliminated the demons, the Qianyan Army fought hard, and the Hall of Rebirth was responsible for eliminating the disease and sending back the dead souls."

"In this way, the boundary between life and death can be determined during times of war, and more troubles can be avoided."

"That's right, that's right, that's it, Keqing gets a point!" Hu Tao echoed with a smile: "But even with such an old partnership, my hall master still took a lot of words to persuade the Great Sage to come here."

Ying: "Is it because of karma?"

When Ying said this, she also looked at Zhongli and Liusu who were not far away.

Hu Tao nodded and said, "Oh, you still understand him."

elf:"."

Mandrill looked at Ying's small movements, and after a moment of silence, said: "This matter cannot be avoided, I should think about it more."

"Indeed, but I've thought of it a long time ago? That's why I only invited friends who have fate with elemental power." Hu Tao replied with a smile: "It's just a little time for eating, and it won't cause much impact."

"But I didn't expect... so many people."

"Great Sage Conquering Demons, please don't worry too much. At present, we all don't feel that there is any problem." Xingqiu said comfortingly: "Especially this young alchemist, who has the power of pure yang to protect him, so he can carry it."

After hearing Xingqiu's words, Chongyun's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "This, these are two different things!"

"Also, did you put the carrot in my bowl just now? Don't avert your eyes."

Xing Qiu pretended to be stupid and said, "Oh, is there any?"

"I'm standing on Chongyun's side this time, and I saw it too!" Xiangling nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, the rice crust is not here today, and the rice crust is the worst picky eater, and might force you to eat it!"

"Ah?! Is the rice crust such a stubborn character?" Xingqiu said in surprise, "But I remembered the story that Xiangling told me that the rice crust is the god of the stove."

"Hahaha, so I heard a folk legend."

elf:"."

"Drill, are you okay?" Ying looked at Mandrill who was sitting on the seat looking at her side, and asked worriedly, "Is there too many people?"

Mandrill replied blankly: "The situation is okay."

"Not long ago, around the eve of the Sea Lantern Festival, I ran into an old friend."

"Old friend?" Ying asked suspiciously.

"Whirring whirring."

Before Mandrill had time to think and answer, a voice imitating the wind suddenly came from outside the door. When everyone was a little surprised, that person then said, "【The wind brings the seeds of the story】."

".【Time makes it germinate】!" Paimon took over the topic and said, "Ah! I accidentally picked up the conversation!"

"But this familiar voice, could it be"

Zhongli: "."

"The plan has changed." Zhongli said via voice transmission.

Tassel responded, "Oh? What do you want to do?"

"Watch what happens."

tassel:"."

Is there any difference between what you said and what you didn't say?I thought you had a good idea.

"Huh? My hall master heard it right, is there someone outside the door?" Hu Tao asked in the direction of the door, "Don't be dazed, guest, open the door for them!"

"Don't bother me, I'll bother you." Before Zhongli could make a statement, Wendy outside hurriedly responded.

Then, the door of the restaurant was blown open again by the strong wind
Wendy walked in and closed the door, and said with a smile to several people, "Hey, I'm finally invited in!"

"Hey, no matter whether we met somewhere else before or not, now it's a brand new encounter! Friends old and new, happy holidays everyone."

"My God, it's for singing!" Paimon said in surprise.

elf:"?!"

"Oh! This little brother is so cool, he looks like my future friend." Hu Tao got up and said to Wendy, "The visitor is a guest, and the meeting is a fate. Everything is kept silent. You can pick up the dishes as you like, and I will ask them to add tableware for you."

Wendy walked to the empty space between Tassel and Mandrill, then greeted Hu Tao with a smile: "Well, looking at this lady's demeanor, she is as bright as a flower and as bright as the morning sun. She is the person who has the most right to speak here !"

"There are so many good things, can you really invite me to eat? Hehe, then I'm not welcome."

Xingqiu looked at Wendy and shouted in surprise: "Ah, it's you!"

"Hey! This is not Teacher Zhenyu." Wendy looked at Xingqiu and said pretending to be surprised.

Wendy's words made Hu Tao puzzled: "Huh? Teacher Zhenyu?"

"Well, after a closer look, it turns out that he is a book fan of Teacher Zhenyu!" Wendy changed the subject and said, "I met Xingqiu at a book club meeting of light novels before, and it was really late."

"There is another person besides me who can analyze Teacher Zhenyu's new work so thoroughly!"

Xingqiu was relieved when he heard this, and smiled at Wendy and said, "Teacher Wendy is really modest. When it comes to poetry and literary talent, your foundation is more profound."

"Ahem. So this is an acquaintance of Master Xingqiu?" Zhong Li said.

Ying suddenly echoed from the side: "Yes, I think Mandrill should know it too."

Mandrill glanced at Ying in confusion, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes."

"The end of the year is approaching, and the closer it is to the Sea Lantern Festival, the more evil spirits are ready to move."

Mandrill stumbled and explained: "On the eve of the festival, I was patrolling around Dihuazhou, and I happened to meet this...this"

"Singing." Tassel reminded from the side.

"This one is a singer."

elf:"."

Wendy: "."

"It's not a singer, it's a bard." Wendy covered her face and said with a headache: "As Paimon said, although my behavior is a singer, you can't just say that I am a singer. "

"Oh, this bard was playing at Dihuazhou at that time." Mandrill nodded and said, "The music... is melodious and pleasant, and it makes people feel soothed. I couldn't help but listen to it for a while."

Wendy smiled and nodded, "Haha, thank you for your patronage!"

"So that's the case." Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Zhong Li also nodded and echoed, "So that's the case, I understand."

"What do you understand? Why didn't I understand a word?" Liusu asked in confusion.

"Oh, oh, the details in the middle are not important." Wendy waved her hand and then greeted the tassel next to her: "I am Wendy, the bard from Mond. It's a pleasure to meet your new friend."

"I'm an ordinary person in Liyue, named Liusu." Liusu nodded and said, "Also, how happy are you to meet me?"

Wendy: "."

Paimon: "."

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Zhongli greeted Wendy, "I'm Zhongli, and I'm working in the Pastoral Church. It's a pleasure to meet your new friend."

"Hmm, I am his boss. If you are dissatisfied with Ke Qing's work, you can tell me!"

Zhong Li nodded and said: "Hall master is bothering you."

"Oh? Hmm, no wonder. Only such a smart and reliable boss can recruit subordinates who seem to be very powerful!"

"Haha, Wendy can really talk." Hearing Wendy's compliments, Hu Tao said with a smile: "My guest is really good. He knows astronomy, geography, and everything from ancient times to the present. I don't know."

"Sometimes seeing how mature he speaks, I suspect that he is also a private visit by some immortal!"

elf:"."

"Hey Great Sage, you are an immortal, so tell me, is this possible?" When Mandrill lowered his head and remained silent when he heard this, Hu Tao suddenly came to him and asked.

Mandrill: "I"

After pondering for a while, Mandrill replied faintly: "Sorry, I'm only good at subduing demons, and I'm not very knowledgeable, so I haven't heard of it before."

"Hey, is that so?" Paimon scratched his head pretending to be puzzled and said, "But Mandrill, I think you are very educated and know a lot."

Ying glanced at Paimeng and said, "Pimon has to be you."

"Ah?" Paimon turned his head in doubt, and looked at Ying with some puzzlement.

After being a little uncomfortable under Ying's gaze, Paimon quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, indeed, Mandrill, Mandrill is a warrior, and he doesn't usually go to the city, so it's normal to not understand these things."

Wendy pretended to be surprised and elongated her voice, "Hey—is that—"

"I've heard a little about Mr. Zhongli's name."

"I heard from the guests in the tavern that there was a well-mannered young man who came to the best tavern in Mond but didn't drink. He insisted on ordering a cup of hot tea with an unpronounceable name."

"That said, I also remembered. Mond seems to have such a No. [-] artist." As soon as Wendy finished speaking, Zhongli responded not to be outdone: "It is rumored that he is elegant and easy-going, and his works are flexible and lively. It is not an exaggeration to be hailed as the best bard in Mond."

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed to say that." Wendy licked her face and said with a smile: "Actually, Mond's poetry as a whole is just like that, and the level of creation is limited."

"For example, I heard a song a few days ago: [The ancient house is rejuvenated, the spring breeze welcomes, and the old memories are blown away.]"

"The meaning is indeed conveyed, but the wording is too common to be considered literary."

Hearing this, Hu Tao nodded and said, "Indeed, the writing almost makes sense."

"If the hall master is to come, it will probably be written as—"

“【An old melon on the vine, but blooming on top.】”

Wendy stood up and praised Hu Tao: "Oh, what a good poem! It has a unique artistic conception and is catchy!"

"Sure enough, I'm not mistaken, this little brother Wendy has a good eye! Shake hands!"

"Shake hands, shake hands!"

Seeing the two people who came together to shake hands, Zhong Li and Mandrill turned their heads away one after another, not even looking at them.
