Chapter 202 Stone Gate
Liyue, Stone Gate.

As a transportation hub between the two countries, this place is very prosperous and you can often see people wearing costumes from different countries.

It's not just Liyue and Mondstadt.

There are also people from Inazuma, Sumi, Fontaine and other countries.

They were probably businessmen or tourists, which was why they came to Shimen, a relatively prosperous transportation hub.

After all, this is the last town on the way from Liyue to Mondstadt, and it is also the first town Mondstadt encounters on the way to Liyue.

No matter where you go next, it is necessary to rest and replenish supplies here.

After Li Qiuzhi and Ying ran away from the "teleportation anchor point", they first walked around the stone gate.

Had some snacks and drank some tea at the tea stall.

Then we prepared to continue our journey to Liyue Harbor.

The two followed the pedestrians on the dirt road leading to Liyue Harbor.

The next destination is Dihuazhou. Although it is a wild area, it is close to Shimen and there are many people coming and going, so there should be hotels or something.

If we can get there today, we probably won't have to sleep outdoors.

Just at this time.

Li Qiuzhi and his friends saw a group of people gathered on the side of the road and it seemed very lively.

"What are they doing here? Why don't we go over and take a look?"

Paimon flew in mid-air, pointing over there curiously.

This guy was a person who liked to join in the fun. Li Qiuzhi and Ying were also a little interested, so everyone moved closer to see what was going on.

"Grandpas and grandmas passing by, please come and have a look.

"Banxian fortune-telling is accurate in everything he predicts, and he doesn't ask for money, if for no other reason than to help people.

"Please tell us what problems you encounter!"

A middle-aged man wearing a gray square hat, with two black mustaches on his upper lip and a long beard on his chin, was sitting behind a stall and yodeling.

There were two flags on either side of him, one on the left and one on the right, with the following words inscribed on them:
【Emperor's True Biography】

【Half-immortal Strange Man】

After reading it, Paimeng was shocked: "Wha, what? We haven't even arrived at Liyue Harbor yet, and we actually met the disciple of the Rock King!"

Listening to what Paimon said, Ying couldn't help but sigh with her hands on her hips. It was obviously a lie, but the idiot Paimon actually believed it.

Li Qiuzhi also nodded in agreement.

It's not so easy to see an immortal, let alone tell people's fortunes in public.

By the way, this guy is really bold. He actually uses the name of Rock King to cheat people.

"Are you really a half-immortal?"

Of course, not everyone can see through this simple scam. For example, a white-haired old lady in the crowd asked with a skeptical expression.

"Yeah, we have never heard of any true teachings from the Emperor?!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in simple Liyue style obviously did not believe it.

Their doubts also made more people look skeptical. Although they are old and have not received much education, not everyone can be fooled.

"Ugh!"

The middle-aged man who claimed to be the true descendant of the Emperor stroked his long beard, shook his head gently and said with a smile: "You guys don't understand the details, and I don't blame you for your offense.

"Since you have doubts, I will tell you the story of how I became the disciple of the Emperor."

His confident look seemed to make everyone believe him unconsciously, and out of curiosity, the onlookers motioned for him to continue.

The middle-aged man in the gray square hat continued to stroke his beard, squinted his eyes and smiled as if he understood and said:
“That year was when I was a child.

"At that time, there was a flood in Guiliyuan, and the thick yellow turbid water submerged the village where I lived.

"Fortunately, it was discovered early and no one was injured, but the crops in the village were flooded and washed away, leaving nothing behind."

Having said that, the middle-aged man paused and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Looking at this explosive acting, Li Qiuzhi would have almost believed it if he hadn't seen this kind of routine many times on the Internet before.

"Oh, how pitiful! If the crops are gone, won't we have nothing to eat for the rest of the year?"

Paimon and some other elderly people seemed to be moved by what the middle-aged man said, and the crowd of onlookers became much quieter.

Perhaps they have had similar experiences before.

"Due to lack of food, the villagers had no choice but to abandon their young children into the wilderness to fend for themselves, and I was one of them."

The middle-aged man paused and continued.

"what?!"

"How could this happen? It's too pitiful. How could a child survive in the wild?"

The old people and children who were watching were talking about it.

The middle-aged man took in everyone's reactions and sneered in his heart with disdain: You are such a bunch of stupid guys, you deserve to be cheated.

As a professional liar, learning to take advantage of other people's empathy is the most basic operation.

He continued in a pitiful tone:

"Alas, if this continues, this immortal and my companions in the village may not even survive the first night before being eaten by monsters and beasts."

"And then what? What happened next?" a little boy who was out playing with his grandmother asked curiously.

The middle-aged man adjusted the gray square hat on his head and continued to speak:
"That's right, what happened next was just as you imagined. A terrifying-looking monster appeared and wanted to eat me and my fellow villagers!

“And at this time.

"A dragon emitting dazzling golden light was attracted by our cries, and it blew two streams of air from its nostrils, blowing the monsters into ashes. Yes, he is our beloved Emperor!"

"Divine Dragon! It is indeed the Emperor!" Golden light seemed to emerge from the little boy's eyes.

No one in Liyue dared to pretend to be the emperor, so everyone began to believe it a little. Seeing this, the middle-aged man continued:
“The sequel is about how the Emperor took pity on us and took us to his training ground and accepted us as his disciples.

"But I am the smartest among the few people, so I can become a true disciple. As for where the Taoist temple is and how to learn the immortal method, please forgive me for not being able to explain, as it involves the secrets of the emperor!"

"I see. It seems that you are really the true disciple of the Emperor. Moreover, after you returned from your studies, you told fortunes for free. You chose to give back to the world. You are really great!"

The speaker was a young man in the crowd with a red turban on his head, and he looked a little excited.

Li Qiuzhi's eyelids jumped. No way! It's okay that old people and children are easily deceived, but you, so young, also believe this?

and.

The sound is too stiff, not natural at all. Is it a "stooge"?
