The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 119 Zhongli is entrusted with an important task
"Master Hu, if you have time, go meet Master Ningguang. The Emperor's farewell ceremony must be organized by the Wangsheng Hall."

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off topic, Xiaoyu hurriedly interrupted Hu Tao and Mona's fantasy. Although she wanted to continue listening here, her boss would definitely scold her again if she didn't finish her work.

"It's OK to meet him, but it may be difficult to be busy with the funeral ceremony. This hall master has made an appointment with others to help them plan the funeral of their elders. The time may be..."

"Master Hu, I'm back."

As soon as Zhongli stepped into the door of the Hall of Rebirth, he regretted it, because the look in Hutao's eyes when she saw him was as if she had seen a savior. This made Zhongli, who wanted to slack off, feel a little ashamed. However, now that he had been seen by Hutao, it would not be easy for him to get out.

"Well, Master Hu, I suddenly thought of..."

"Zhongli, as a guest of Wangsheng Hall, this big business is handed over to you. You don't want to wash dishes in Liuli Pavilion to pay off your debts, right?"

Hu Tao first put her hands on her hips, and as she spoke she seemed to feel that she had no authority, so she took out the Staff of Homa half in a negotiating and half threatening manner, and the Fire God's Eye flashed a dangerous red light on her body, as if she was going to fight with Zhongli if he disagreed.

In order to have no worries about having no one to pay for his retirement life, Zhongli could only suppress the strange feeling in his heart and nodded in agreement, even if he had to plan his own funeral. After all, if he was the one planning the ceremony, he could ensure that it went smoothly. If Hu Tao asked Ruojin to help, who knows how Ruojin and Ruotu would plan his ceremony.

Over the years, Ruojin, a young man who grew up under Zhongli's nose, has never learned any knowledge about funeral ceremonies. He is worried that Ruojin will ask the smart Ruotuo for advice and then mess up his ceremony of sending off the immortal.

"If it is Mr. Zhongli, I think Master Qixing will be relieved to hand over the Immortal Delivery Ceremony to Mr. Zhongli. Then I will trouble Mr. Zhongli to pay more attention to it in the next few days."

"You're welcome. Since Qixing has entrusted the matters related to the Immortal Delivery Ceremony to Wangsheng Hall, it is necessary for Wangsheng Hall to do a good job."

Zhongli picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He smelled the fragrance of tea when he entered the Hall of Rebirth just now. If he guessed correctly, this should be the good tea in his collection. This girl Hu Tao finally found his collection of tea.

Xiaoyu and Zhongli exchanged a few polite words before leaving the Hall of Rebirth in a hurry. Now that Emperor Geo had suddenly passed away, various forces in Liyue Harbor were ready to make a move. The things that needed to be dealt with had increased exponentially, and all kinds of work fell on the staff of the General Affairs Department, making them even busier than before the ceremony of inviting the immortal.

"By the way, Zhongli, you are now helping me carve a tombstone. A generous foreigner wants to build a cenotaph for his friend."

"I have prepared everything else except the tombstone. That big client gave me so much, so I plan to let you, the best engraver in the Hall of the Dead, carve the tombstone for him."

As she spoke, Hu Tao handed over the prepared stone tablet, the carving knife, and the note with the name to be carved. Zhongli, who was already preparing to retire, naturally would not refuse such a small matter. He took the note and looked at it. Hmm, Baalzebub, this name seems quite familiar.

Not sure, after taking another look, Zhongli drank a sip of tea to calm himself down and took another look at the note. Hmm, four big characters, Baalzebub, this... Venti, who was secretly using the wind element to observe the movements of the Hall of Rebirth, sprayed out the good wine in his mouth after seeing the words on the note. As a scoundrel and a part-time wind god, the scattered soldiers wandering in Liyue had long been discovered by Venti, who was secretly observing Ruojin.

It was not difficult for Wendy to tell from Sanbing's clothes that Sanbing was from Inazuma. Combined with the name on the note today, a strange idea came to his mind that maybe he should go and see his colleague Inazuma.

Just when Zhongli was still hesitating in the Hall of Rebirth whether to persuade Hu Tao to give up this business, in just half a day, the news that Emperor Geo had passed away during the Immortal Summoning Ceremony spread throughout the entire Liyue Harbor. For a time, people in Liyue Harbor were in turmoil, all kinds of rumors emerged one after another, and the "rats" hiding in the dark also plucked up the courage to expose themselves to the sun in search of some food.

Unfortunately, the 'rats' think too highly of themselves. They think that as long as the situation is chaotic enough, the 'hunters' will have no time to care about them. Little do they know that sometimes it's not just the 'hunters' who are watching the 'rats', the 'cats' under the hunters are also not vegetarians.

In a hidden alley in Liyue Harbor, Ye Lan expressionlessly dumped a corpse with an arrow piercing its head here. This was the location she had agreed on with the staff responsible for handling the corpses. Perhaps she had killed too many "rats" today, and there were still a few corpses in this corner that had not been dealt with in time.

"I don't know whether I should call you brave or stupid for planning to take away the immortal body of the Rock King and sell it at this time. But since you have shown up, make a small contribution to my vacation."

Ye Lan condensed the water element and wiped the blood stains that were accidentally stained on her clothes. After seeing that her clothes were tidy again, she nodded with satisfaction and disappeared into the alley to start a new round of hunting. After all, Ningguang had promised her that after these things were dealt with, she would approve a period of paid vacation for her based on her performance in the past few days.

Ye Lan had already planned her vacation. She heard that a white-haired immortal who had never been seen before appeared in Jueyunjian. During the vacation, she would go to Jueyunjian to take a look. While resting, she could also investigate the information of the white-haired immortal.

At the same time, Ruo Jin, Ying and Paimeng were walking in Jueyunjian. Just now, Ying was "accidentally" rescued by the Young Master when she was being chased by the Qianyan Army. Ying learned from the Young Master that if she wanted to clear the suspicion of assassinating the Emperor, she must go to Jueyunjian to find the three immortals before Qixing told the immortals about the assassination of the Emperor. Otherwise, she would probably have to bear the blame for the assassination of Emperor Yanwang.

After hearing Ying repeat what the young master said, Ruo Jin sneered and said that the young master was talking nonsense. Not to mention that Qixing would not do that, it was pure nonsense that Ying, a rookie who couldn't even beat him, could assassinate the Rock King Emperor who was known as the God of War.

Moreover, you think the immortals are too stupid. Immortals have lived for thousands of years and have no more experience and knowledge than a few mortals. The reason why the emperor was assassinated will obviously be refuted after seeing the emperor's immortal body.

However, what concerned Ruojin the most was that the young master actually gave Ying a talisman with no taboos. This made Ruojin wonder if the young master knew about the emperor's death very early, so he collected the talismans with no taboos in advance to discredit the Seven Stars in front of the immortal.

But how did the young master know that the Emperor would pass away soon? This is too strange. It is impossible that the Emperor discussed it with the Fatui before his death?

After Ruo Jin thought about it for a while without figuring it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. His current strength was much stronger than when he was in Mondstadt. With the cooperation of Boss Ruota and the various magic arts he had mastered, he should be able to delay the three Fatui executives for a while.

Ying was not in a hurry along the way, because the wanted warrant was just a pretense, and the Qianyan Army chasing her was dealt with by Ruojin. Compared to the miserable look when she was wanted in Mondstadt, Ying was much more relaxed now. She even had time to open the treasure chests she saw on the road.
