The house was full of guests and friends, there was a lot of music and singing, there was a lot of drinking and laughter resounding throughout Yun Xiao.
From day to dusk, from dusk to Evernight, just the dishes from chefs from all walks of life are enough to make people linger here, not to mention that you can enjoy the melody with the sound of Great Dao and drink the tea wine filled with divine light Immortal Radiance.
"Liyue continues the old tradition and believes that dusk is the alternation of day and night, the moment when yin and yang come together, and is more suitable for weddings. However, Snezhnaya and Mondstadt often choose noon, when there is enough sunshine, which symbolizes good luck and can ward off cold and bad luck."
Zhongli rubbed his fingertips over the edge of the tea bowl and chatted. "Of course, customs vary greatly even from region to region, and they are even further away from the Star Domain where Brother Jiang lives."
"It's okay, it's just that I owe Caiyun too much, and I'm thinking of making up for it this time." God King Jiang Taixu, who is white-robed and white-haired, said, "Brother Zhongli, if you are free, please help me organize something at Big Dipper."
He glanced at Saintess of Myriad Beginnings, who was leaning on his shoulder as he fell asleep after drinking too much. His eyes were soft, and the guilt he couldn't hide flowed out.
How can thousands of years of waiting be compensated by just a few years of companionship?
Hearing this, Zhongli unconsciously smiled bitterly, but at this moment, someone on the side spoke first.
"This guest, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, has always only been concerned with funeral matters. Although our guest is very knowledgeable, it is okay to ask him to guide the process, but to be responsible for presiding over the arrangements would be against the decision of our ancestors."
"This little friend is"
Jiang Taixu looked at the lively girl in front of her, wearing a white hat and red clothes, decorated with plum blossoms, but unable to hide her drunkenness, with some doubts.
"The leader of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao."
Zhongli smiled helplessly and explained to Jiang Taixu, "Fairy Caiyun is also a junior in my family. Fairy Caiyun has come back from the dead. It is really unlucky for me to host it."
Now he has no intention of deliberately concealing his identity. When he was Lantern Rite, Hu Tao had entertained several friends in the group, so he was invited to come this time, but he came a little earlier and stayed in Gensokyo for a while, so he became a lot familiar with people from other worlds.
Immediately, after Hu Tao introduced himself, he took out Myriad Worlds General Knowledge Talisman and added Jiang Taixu as a friend, and promoted his funeral business with a half-price second monument before leaving.
Jiang Taixu glanced at Hu Tao's back with a strange expression.
"This is her temperament. If there is any offense, I will apologize to Brother Jiang." Zhongli raised the tea cup and said.
"Brother Zhong misunderstood." Jiang Taixu shook his head and pointed to the right:
"I didn't know she was your junior before, but I heard she was discussing cooperation with Duan De, and the clients are Ancient Desolate Family and Holy Land."
"?" Zhongli raised his hand for a moment.
He looked in the direction Jiang Taixu pointed, and saw Hu Tao walking towards the table where Duan De and Cao Yusheng were, with a Chen Nan in tow, and they were discussing something.
"In the process of Pindao's archeology, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises, and sometimes you can see some old rice dumplings pretending to be corpses."
Duan De, whose face was red and still had a lot of immortal power in his body that could not be digested, held the bottle and said:
"He helped some unfilial descendants solve their troubles with good intentions, but in the end some guys didn't appreciate it. There was no other way. Pindao has always been a good person who repays evil with kindness."
"In this way, Pindao will introduce the business and corresponding family information to you Wangsheng Funeral Parlor every time he completes archaeological work in the future."
"Director Hu and I are old acquaintances. When the time comes, you can bury it for their ancestors. How about I share 30% of the expenses afterwards?"
"Fool." Black Emperor sneered from the side, "Why do people want to do business with you?"
"Silly dog, if Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is buried, leave a special formation pattern. I will never go there again. If I don't look for Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I will continue to go to their home for archeology, once, twice, or three times. Isn't the reputation going to be established?" Duan De despised.
Black Emperor was stunned.
"No." Hu Tao shook his head and seriously refused. "You can't easily provoke things related to death."
"Master, you are doing a good deed. No matter whether you are doing business or not, Pindao will go to their house for archeology, but if you help them bury it, won't those old Zongzi live in peace in the future?" Duan De asked back.
Hu Tao frowned and thought for a moment, it seems that this is indeed the case.
"And the two Ye Fan and Shi Hao will definitely kill a lot of people after the embryonic killing. The families of the deceased are so sad. At this time, can't we help with the funeral arrangements and save some merit?"
Although it is very intoxicating, it does not affect Duan De's language and thinking logic at all.
The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, so much so that Cao Yusheng on the side felt a kind of wickedness that would lead him to annihilate his descendants.
"I still have a way to make a fortune here that requires your cooperation." Duan De said.
Cao Yusheng: "Me?"
"Before you bury yourself in the future, stock up on antiques, elixirs, magic medicines, and elixirs of longevity. It's best to get something that will become more powerful as time goes by."
"Then you, you bitch thief, will be given some advantage!?"
Cao Yusheng glanced at him sideways.
"Idiot, your life will be mine sooner or later. If you don't accept it, don't raise the corpse to rot and feed the bones to the dogs. Ouch--!!!" Duan De howled like a killing pig, and Black Emperor viciously chewed on his arm. Although the skin was not broken, it was painful.
"Fifty-fifty split."
He took a breath of cold air and said to the fat man over there who was gloating about his misfortune:
"The more you bury, the more points you get. What used to be worthless can now be fetched sky-high prices. In addition, some killing formations require Yin Qi nourishment. You can't even seize the opportunity for us to develop?"
Money begets money, treasure begets treasure, children and grandchildren, endless?
Cao Yusheng suddenly changed color.
After Shi Hao and Ye Fan's explanations, and his personal confirmation, he reluctantly admitted that this damn fat man was what he would become in countless years to come.
I have to say that to have such an idea is because I have inherited some of his intelligence.
"Take these treasures and get more valuable treasures." Cao Yusheng's eyes were shining, and his honest and simple Apple face was full of excitement.
Then, he stretched out his hand to Duan De.
Duan De:"?"
"You can give it to me." Cao Yusheng said expectantly.
Duan De laughed angrily, "Master Dao, I didn't receive it!"
"That's not right." Cao Yusheng squinted his eyes and looked at it. "I just swore to Inner Demon that I would bury everything I get now for future generations. You will definitely receive it. Don't you want to keep it to yourself?"
What the fuck are you here Void Creation?!
Duan De subconsciously wanted to slap Cao Yusheng in the face, but after thinking about it, the relationship between the past and the present must have changed at this moment, and he should have more possessions.
But.
Why don't you have any impression at all?
When burying yourself to speed up the process of forming the Reincarnation Seal seal, you should prepare some wealth for the Lifetime.
"Then there must have been changes along the way."
There was a voice coming from beside them. Duan De and Cao Yusheng heard the sound and went to look for them. It was a monk dressed as a scholar in yellow robes. Fang Zheng was observing them and others with great interest.
"Unscrupulous Celestial Worthy, what advice does this Daoist brother have?" Duan De raised his hand.
It seems that he is a new member of the Ye Fan and Su Lin gang. No one in this gang is simple, and they all have secrets.
"I don't dare to give advice, but I have often done this in the past and present of burying treasures for my future disciples and making sure they have received the goods."
Jiang Mingzi smiled and said:
"Determined events and history will not change, but as a variable, they can give birth to different details. According to the information I know about fellow Daoists, it may be that they have been spent in previous lives, but it is not necessarily true?
If you set the idea that your reincarnation cannot be used and should be well preserved, it may be where it was before you lost your memory."
"Inside the tombs of past lives?" Like a sudden enlightenment, Duan De's eyes rolled around.
"Yes, it must be the previous lives that were beheaded."
"What should we do?" Cao Yusheng saw that the opportunity for development was right in front of him but could not realize it, so he could only stare.
"What else should we do?" Duan De was helpless and could only resort to unsophisticated methods. "Look for them one by one, dig them one by one!"
Judging from the information obtained from Ye Fan, we can only dig in the direction of Netherworld Venerable and Netherworld Emperor. As for Source Emperor, we have ruled it out. He Lifetime saw nothing when he woke up.
"When are we going to do it?! I'll go to your place and dig together!"
"Don't worry, first prepare a box that can store everything and withstand time Erosion."
Duan De began to discuss the details with Cao Yusheng, and even planned to dig while accumulating, unearth it in batches, and update it at any time.
"Why don't you bury your kid in Cao Yusheng's body too?" Purple-Gold Divine Dragon stroked his dragon's beard and said to Chen Nan, "It will definitely be better when you dig it out again than it is now."
"A dog's mouth can't spit out an image. Ouch--!" Chen Nan wailed. "You damn dog, I didn't scold you!"
Black Emperor, who drank too much, can't care about this.
Soon, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, provoked by the noise, opened her eyes. She touched around and found no radish, so she impatiently picked up an empty wine bottle left by the groom who had just come to toast, and threw it at Cao Yusheng and Duan De.
It's just that she was drunk and was not accurate, so the bottle flew into the sky with a whoosh.
The bottle was wrapped in divine light and spun around many times
"I always feel a little uneasy."
When Song Shuhang saw Doudou taking away his pile of Resurrection Magical Artifact and medicines, he suddenly lost his mind. "I won't die suddenly right?"
Doudou is really speechless. It is a dog, but I have never seen a human being so stubborn.
Reisen just got the resurrection potion from Eientei. Song Shuhang took a bottle and planned to drink it as a drink. Is it Drunken Immortal Brew that doesn't smell good or Dao Enlightenment Tea that has no taste?
"Wow! Then let me ask you, do you still have no points for your own passivity?" Doudou stood up silently, transformed into a humanoid Jingba, caught Song Shuhang, looked at the guests around him, and asked:
"What are the names of those people? Woof! Answer me!"
"Gensokyo Death God and the King of Hell are around. What are you afraid of? Heavenly Dao of Death is also there. What are you afraid of? Are the gods of Heaven, Angel and Underworld all sitting there?"
Song Shuhang is speechless.
He also felt that he had been a little too dependent on Resurrection Magical Artifact during this period. It was really difficult to control the progress of his cultivation while still playing a role in the high-end game.
But maybe as the book says, the passive ability to 100% scrap Resurrection Magical Artifact really exists. Without Resurrection Magical Artifact, it won't die?
"Mr. Shuhang."
Hearing a faint voice, Song Shuhang turned his head and looked.
"Miss Hina Kagiyama?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, Song Shuhang had previously used Myriad Worlds General Knowledge Talisman to send a message to the other party, but this kind-hearted god of evil refused the invitation to the banquet because it was not good for him to appear on such an occasion.
"You're just in time, the banquet is not over yet, how about adding a stool?" Song Shuhang didn't mind at all, but showed a hearty smile.
Seeing this, the apology in Hina Kagiyama's eyes overflowed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Shuhang, I just came here to see the concentration of bad luck in this area, and I can no longer absorb what you have."
Eh?
Without a trace of hesitation, Song Shuhang used A Gentleman’s Journey of Ten Thousand Miles and moved forward to grab the box of resurrection props in Doudou's hand.
Bang--!
The falling wine bottle landed squarely on Song Shuhang's strengthened forehead.
He rolled his eyes, with a smile still on his face, and lay straight on the ground. Under Doudou's dull gaze, a white soul floated out of Song Shuhang's mouth.
Like instinct, it drifted towards the area called Infinite Gluttony Hell.
The location of Netherworld manager Yuyuko of Gensokyo.
"And mochi? Ouch"
"Poof!"
Youmu Konpaku, who was always paying attention to his master, was suddenly shocked. "Yuyuko, you can't eat that!!!"
The sword is unsheathed and shines brightly.
Mysterious meaning: Human and ghost "Future Eternal Calamity Kill"!
However, the drunken swordsman missed the mark and entered the Artoria area.
"The dining table is like a battlefield, bring your horses over."
"Wait?!"
Like Domino dominoes, starting with Song Shuhang that was swallowed by Yuyuko, multiple Excalibur light cannons formed a barrage, and there was also God of Mischief in the nearby area who distributed Monocle as souvenirs to guests. Amon, the god of trickery Loki who is painting food with paint, the real and fake Siming Zhao Lei who took someone's favor and tried to deceive Shi Hao who was full.
And Pleasure Aeon Aha, who had just been kicked away by Su Lin and landed on the table of 'Soul Rebirth Band'.
"Aha It's so shameless. Man, can I order a song?"
"Of course!"
Dharma King Fortune is in high spirits.
Countless dandelion-like barrage fluffed and bloomed, as if blown by the wind, spreading in all directions.
As it's Nightless day, tonight's Hakurei Shrine is particularly lively.
Kaguya Astral Express, who looked like he was driving drunk, roared his whistle, hit the gate of Sefirah Castle at an infinite height, and said leisurely:
"Using a barrage game to end it is in line with Gensokyo's characteristics."
"Aren't you going to take care of them?" Fujiwara Mokou shook out a Pheobe Wang and held it in his mouth, then snapped his fingers and lit the cigarette.
"I'm much more restrained than usual. This time I didn't even destroy a planet, but it was unexpected. I was probably worried that today was a wedding, and everyone probably didn't drink too much." Kaguya smiled.
"Is this also called convergence?" Mokou's eyelids twitched.
Waves of air burst out of the air, blowing down cherry blossoms and shooting in all directions. Countless explosions struck the broken Grotto-Heaven World one after another.
"Keine should only care about your smoking and not your drinking. Why don't you drink today?" Kaguya said, holding the medicine pot, "I'm so embarrassed that I don't even have the chance to feed you Hourai Elixir."
"." Mokou fell silent after hearing this.
"Speaking of which, I did hear an interesting story this time."
Together with Qilin, as Dragon God Blood Descendant, Phoenix, which symbolizes the god Reincarnation, was applied to Lifespan Defilement by Dragon God without discrimination.
The immortal bird is naturally unwilling to face real death, but it can only linger on the earth helplessly and accept this ending.
There are no absolutes.
One day, Phoenix, who was living in a volcano, saw a line of human troops. Originally, these mortals had nothing to pay attention to, but these human soldiers kept marching towards the volcano.
"The general named Iwakasa was ordered to lead people to the volcano to destroy something. He picked up a girl on the road and gave her food and water."
"Just by getting close, Phoenix can smell what it is."
"Elixir of Immortality contains Eternal Power and can circumvent Lifespan Defilement."
"But Phoenix is about to die, and even his soul has been affected by Lifespan Defilement. Now even if he gets Elixir of Immortality, he can only survive in a lingering state."
"Then we have to choose a suitable container, let this container take Elixir of Immortality first, and then occupy this container, just like those gods do with humans."
"Oh, but these ignorant humans want to destroy Elixir of Immortality, what should we do?"
Mokou looked at Kaguya blankly, while the other party continued to talk with a playful smile.
"Volcano Goddess Konohanasakuya-hime"
Iwakasa, who complied with the order to burn Hourai Elixir, met the goddess who suddenly appeared. The goddess told the unsuspecting people that the medicine pot contained Hourai Elixir.
Iwakasa and his party decided to rest for a night before going to Mount Yatsugatake. However, what they never expected was that when Mokou and Iwakasa woke up the next day, only the corpses of soldiers were left around. Konohanasakuya-hime said that they all killed each other for Hourai Elixir.
And then.
When Iwakasa was about to continue executing the order, Fujiwara Mokou was moved, kicked Iwakasa off the cliff, and drank the elixir of immortality.
At this point, she lives alone in this world with thousands of years of hatred and guilt.
"Maybe I underestimated the effect of Eternal Power. I used that incomplete soul to swallow you up, but you ended up taking your body."
Kaguya placed the medicine pot on the ground and smiled, "So, you can make your own decision this time."
The noise in the shrine disappeared at some point.
But Fujiwara Mokou still stood there, and it was not until the burned out cigarette burned his lips that he slowly came back to his senses.
Kick your benefactor off the cliff and run away, trying to forget everything...
In the long and empty time, he was reborn from the ashes in the terrifying fever, supported only by his hatred for Kaguya.
"You want to say it's not my fault? Even so, it was me who made the choice."
The bitterness filled the mouth, and Fujiwara Mokou couldn't tell whether it was the smell of this brand of cigarettes or the regret of having made a choice.
If you still want to torture yourself as atonement.
She picked up the Hourai Elixir on the ground and swallowed it along with the bitterness in her mouth.
