Chapter 135 Good guy
Time passed slowly, and Zheng Tian lived a fulfilling life during this period.
During the day, he would mostly study the application of various elemental forces in Jueyunjian. At night, he would usually return to Wangshengtang to study Qi magic or rest. In rare cases, he would stay up all night.
However, the three of them did not forget what was happening in the outside world.
Zheng Tian would occasionally pay attention to Sora. Well, with the help of the Shadow Ninja and the Fatui in the dark, Sora and his companions didn't suffer much in the wild. Only a few Fatui suffered a little. Sometimes when they overheard Paimon saying he wanted to eat something, they would rush over to find him, fearing that this talkative little guy would cause trouble for them in the future.
In addition, Kong and his crew are almost at Liyue Harbor.
The day for the ceremony of inviting the immortals was approaching, and at Wendy's suggestion, the three of them simply gave themselves a day off.
In the Hall of Rebirth, it is almost lunch time.
Hu Tao rushed into the courtyard with a helpless look on her face. She saw Zhongli and Wendy sitting idly in the courtyard. "Huh? Guest? Wendy? You guys aren't going out today?"
There were two stone tables and several stone benches in the courtyard. Zhongli and Venti were sitting there chatting. Hu Tao seemed to be discussing the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
Zhongli: “Haha, we’ve been busy for so long, after discussing it, we decided to take a break.
"But Hall Master, judging from your expression, it seems like something is wrong?"
Hu Tao: "Rest? What about Zheng Tian? This hall master has something to ask him."
Wendy pointed to Zheng Tian's room and said, "Zheng Tian, he's probably still lying in the room. He hasn't even had breakfast yet."
Walnut was surprised: "Ah? Didn't he go to bed on time last night?"
Wendy: "Actually, he's already awake, but he's just staying in bed. According to him, he's regained the feeling of suddenly having a holiday when he was in school. In his hometown, many young people have unknowingly changed their three meals a day to two meals a day."
Zhongli: "From a common sense perspective, this is not a healthy routine."
Hu Tao: "What you said is absolutely right. As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning. Besides, it's already noon. Are you planning to hide during the day and come out at night?"
As he spoke, Hu Tao walked to Zheng Tian's door and knocked on it: "Hey! Zheng Tian, now that you're awake, get up quickly! The sun is shining on your butt!
Also, I want to discuss something with you.”
Inside the room, Zheng Tian, who was sitting on the bed, closed the book of Lotus Temple and said, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
Soon, Zheng Tian put on his clothes and opened the door: "Master, what's wrong?"
Hu Tao walked around behind Zheng Tian, raised his hands and pressed them on his back, pushing him in a certain direction: "Wash up first, wash up first, and when you're done, eat something to fill your stomach, and then I'll talk to you about business."
Zheng Tian: “Oh.”
After washing up, Zheng Tian casually took some cookies from the small space, ate two bites, and then came to Hu Tao who was already sitting down: "I'm fine, Hall Master, what's the matter?"
Zhongli and Venti sat aside and watched. Hu Tao didn't ask them to leave anyway.
Hu Tao suppressed her curiosity about Zheng Tian's methods and said, "Ahem, this is actually the case.
This morning after breakfast, I went out to promote the business of the Hall of the Dead. Not long after I left the house, I encountered something I had never expected.
Zheng Tian: "What's the weird thing? Is it related to me?"
Hu Tao's expression suddenly became somewhat helpless: "It is indeed related to you. I was handing out flyers when someone came over a while later.
I thought someone had finally come to his senses, but this person came over and said he wanted to know if there was a book of life and death, and he was willing to pay me in the hope that I could add some extra years to his life.
Hu Tao's expression was very strange: "Since I took over as the hall master, this is the first time I have heard such a statement.
But I have never heard of the Book of Life and Death, let alone adding years to one's life. After careful questioning, I found out that the problem lies with you.
That person had been to Mond not long ago, and in your restaurant, he watched that… “Journey to the West”? I think it was called that. The book of life and death mentioned in it records people’s life spans, and if you erase your name on it, you can live forever! It’s outrageous!
That person doesn't expect to live forever, but he also hopes to live longer, maybe another ten or twenty years.
Finally, I told that person that I had never seen a book of life and death, and even if there was one, I would not change it randomly even if I could. "
Zheng Tian: "...and then?"
Walnut: "This incident attracted the attention of other people on the street, and then the news spread. I met a few people who made the same request on my way back just now.
so……"
Zheng Tian: “So?”
Hu Tao stood up, ran behind Zheng Tian and massaged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Zheng Tian, I have already found out the news. Can we change this "Journey to the West"?"
Wendy, who was standing by, said, "I see. But Master, your request is unreasonable. The Knights of Favonius don't even ban televisions that show food from other worlds. Your request is not very nice."
Walnut: "Oh, I am just discussing something. I understand the reason, but this kind of news will bring us a lot of trouble.
You don’t know, there were people on the street asking if there really were ghost messengers in the Wangsheng Hall, and if the Wangsheng Hall was run by Lord Yan. There were also people who got angry after being rejected by me, saying that I deliberately scribbled people’s names in the Book of Life and Death in order to make money…
This is just the beginning. I dare not even imagine what will happen next.
Would you mind sending a notice to let me know that there is no Book of Life and Death in Teyvat? I will pay you for it. "
Zhongli: "What the hall master said is actually not without reason. I have heard a little about Journey to the West. I heard that Liyue culture has great similarities with the culture shown in it. Even I have long been interested in it. This can greatly influence the people of Liyue.
I also heard that recently, some people have gone to Jueyunjian to seek immortals and learn the art of immortality, seventy-two transformations, and somersault cloud because of the news of Journey to the West. And the number of such people is increasing day by day.
I heard that in order not to disturb the peace of the immortals, Ganyu, the Seven-Star Secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, has submitted documents requesting to transfer several Qianyan soldiers to the vicinity of Jueyunjian to intercept people and dispel rumors.
If the rumor continues to spread, it might really cause a lot of trouble."
Hu Tao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are worthy of being a guest official. You really win my heart."
Zheng Tian spread his hands: "Then, let's change it?"
Walnut was overjoyed, jumped up and cheered, "Great!"
Zheng Tian said with a wicked smile: "Hehe, let's switch to the series of Three Lives Three Worlds? There are love entanglements in multiple lifetimes.
Or "Naruto"? In the Impure World Reincarnation, the dead ninjas were brought back to the ninja world, and an army of the living dead fought against the living.
Or maybe "Chinese Paladin III"? Oh ~ Changqing and Zixuan's three-life love, and Xiyao who was good friends with General Feipeng in Jingtian's previous life."
Wendy raised her hand and asked, "Why is it three and not one?"
Zheng Tian: "Because I haven't seen it much."
Hu Tao immediately grabbed Zheng Tian's neck and shook him back and forth: "Hey!!!"
Zheng Tian: "Alright, alright, I'll ask Qixing to send a notice later. They should be happy to calm the situation down. With my personal presence, it should be able to calm the situation down."
Hu Tao stopped fooling around and took a long breath. "Phew~ Thank you very much. I knew that those who can play with our guest Zhongli are usually good people."
Northland Bank.
"Ah!"
Seeing Tartaglia sneeze, the doctor frowned and moved away: "Do you have a cold?"
Tartaglia touched his nose and said, "No, I don't know what's going on. Maybe my brothers and sisters are talking about me?"
To Tartaglia's surprise, the doctor actually nodded: "It's possible. Some people speculate that the transmission of leyline information may cause such an effect."
Tartaglia: "...Is there really such a saying? Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they are all in the winter now, safe and sound, and I don't need to worry about them.
You just said that group of people are coming soon?"
Doctor: "It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow, but the dragon still hasn't appeared. And this year's ceremony to invite the immortals is tomorrow, which is really intriguing."
