After walking and stopping along the way, Famas and Ying finally arrived at Liyue Port in the evening.
At this time, the lanterns are starting to light up, the setting sun is rising and falling in the sky, Guyun Pavilion in the distance is hidden in the gloomy setting sun, the wind is blowing on the sea, and the waves are sparkling.
The coachman entered the Liyue Port directly through the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's special passage, parked the carriage under the Yujing Tower, and parked according to Qianyan Army's command before bidding farewell to Famas and Ying.
"Is this Liyue Port?"
"There are loud gongs and drums everywhere, and the city is full of lights and flames."
Walking through the crowded streets, just witnessing the colorful lights, or stopping to enjoy delicious food at street stalls, people in Liyue can always find a way to express their joy.
Only by entering Liyue during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony can you personally feel the vigorous power of the blood that has been flowing for six thousand years. This may be the secret to Liyue's prosperity.
Even if you leave the noisy market and walk into the alleys where few people go, you can still feel the different happiness of Liyue people through the lights of every house.
Famas did not look at the row upon row of gorgeous buildings, but instead set his sights on the pier.
Ships of different sizes are entering the port one after another in an orderly manner.
The workers were still unloading the last batch of goods, and the afterglow stretched their busy shadows into intertwined thin lines. The children reluctantly said goodbye to each other amidst their mother's calls and made an appointment to play together tomorrow. The aroma of food swayed.
He generally calls this situation human fireworks.
Famas was silent. If he had succumbed to the order of heaven and Munata had not raised his flag of rebellion, and developed like Liyue, could he have gained at least three thousand years of peace?
"Where should we go now?"
Paimon was dazzled by the continuous colorful lights, especially after the three of them entered the market, they couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
It's still early before the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and it happens to be evening, so it's time to have something to eat.
Famas seemed to remember something and took out a golden bell from his waist.
This was given to him by Xiang Ling, the chef of Liyue, after he accidentally "rescued" Liyue's chef Xiang Ling when he was frying fish with Keli at Xingluo Lake.
It seems that... with this bell, the food is free?
"Let's go to Wanmin Hall. Now is the preparation stage for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Xiangling should be there too, right?"
"Xiangling! Wanmintang! Liyue Food!"
Originally, Paimon hadn't thought of this energetic little girl, but as soon as Famas mentioned it, she immediately thought of Liyue's delicious food.
"Quick...quick, let's go find Xiangling. Famas still has the bell that Xiangling gave us!"
Paimon excitedly pulled Famas and Ying and squeezed into the crowded market crowd.
"Huh? Wait, we don't know the road..."
Ying said in surprise, but subconsciously grabbed Famas's hand, intertwined their soft fingers, and was directly pulled into the crowd by Famas and the anxious Paimon.
When the three of them were rushing through the Tiger-eating Rock in Liyue Port, looking for the way to Wanmintang, among the waterfalls in Tianheng Mountain, Dadalia weighed the mola bag in her hand, feeling its weight, and raised her lips. Put on a smile.
"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. It's natural to pay back debts. Next time you want to owe me money from Beiguo Bank, you should think it through first."
"Goodbye, oh... no, I hope we'll never see you again."
Dadalia waved his hand behind him as a farewell to the debtors who collapsed on the ground. He turned around and stepped out of the mountain cave.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet. If he had walked struttingly in the mountains and forests like this in the past, he would have been surrounded by wild beasts or Qiuqiu people, but now it was strangely quiet.
At a certain moment, he paused and suddenly laughed: "If you follow me again, you might die, hahaha."
After that, he strode forward, only to hear the rustling of the trees behind him, and a light blue blade flashed past. There was probably a small beast like a fox or a treasure-stealing weasel hidden inside, but there was another There was a sound like metal falling to the ground.
The air suddenly became moist, like a sign of rain, but the scorching sun was high and the heat was still there. Instead of rain falling from the sky, the blood stains on the ground were washed away by a sudden burst of pure water. Tianheng Mountain was still so clean and quiet.
The fool who was following Dadalia in the bushes fell to the ground. A half-meter-long machete fell at his feet, but his trembling hands could not pick it up. He was breathing heavily, and his whole body was covered with blood. Soaked in sweat.
The bodies of the Qiuqiu people that were cut into two pieces gradually dissipated. They were cut in half from the waist by an unknown blue blade. They struggled for a long time before dying. Judging from the smoothness of the incision, even cutting off the hard spine only took a long time. A moment.
The thorny Chuqiu man stick was stuck diagonally in the soil, one step away from the man. It is not difficult to imagine that if Dadalia had struck faster, the masked fools would have been divided into two halves.
"You owe this little money, and you actually went to Tianheng Mountain to hide. The Qiuqiu people there are not easy to deal with. You are really asking for trouble."
Dadalia, the instigator of all this, was throwing his money bag and muttering: "This is not enough for Zhongli's meals."
"Master!"
This was the voice of the crowd of fools following Dadalia.
"Oh?" Dadalia twisted the apricot leaves in her hands into powder, with a sharp look in her eyes, "I will handle this debt... Why are you here? It's because the Northland Bank doesn't believe me. Ability?"
"Don't dare!" The fools who followed Dadalia took a step back, knelt down on one knee towards Dadalia, and said respectfully: "Lady Yekaterina thinks that the young master should handle the debt with ease, but this time This time it took more than twice as long as usual, so I sent my subordinates to check."
"How long does it usually take?" Dadalia looked at the fools who were kneeling on their knees and did not dare to raise their heads with interest. He wanted to see how well Yekaterina knew him.
"Lady Ekaterina did not explain."
"Sure enough, she still doesn't trust me."
Dadalia scratched his head. He had recently withdrawn too much money from Beiguo Bank to help Zhongli pay for all kinds of entertainment and tea products, which aroused the suspicion of Yekaterina, the director of Beiguo Bank. .
"There are a large number of Qiuqiu people and Abyss mages on Tianheng Mountain, and it was a bit difficult for Master to deal with them, so it took more time than usual."
"This is the answer you want to take back, do you understand?"
Although he felt helpless, Dadalia directly told the fools who were following him how to report the situation to Ekaterina.
"But with your master's strength..."
Half of the words uttered by the fools were swallowed alive by him.
"I asked you, do you understand?"
Dadalia lowered her hands and repeated in a calm tone.
"I understand!" The half-kneeling Fool replied in a trembling voice as his body trembled.
"very good."
Dadalia put away the long bow in her hand.
"How many days are left until the Immortal Invitation Ceremony begins?"
"Ying... there should only be four or five days left... When I came here, many onlookers had gathered in the square. Tianquan Xing Ningguang has ordered the Qianyan Army to maintain martial law."
The fools said uncertainly.
"It's about the same time as I expected, so it should be in time."
Dadalia threw the money bag to the fools who were following him, and the latter subconsciously caught it.
"Sir, what is this?"
"This is a debt. Take it back to the Northland Bank for me."
Dadalia raised her chin at him.
"What about you?"
"Hmph...of course I'm going to meet an interesting person."
Dadalia jumped down from the cliff, and his chuckle echoed in the mountain.
"Sir...this is halfway up the mountain..."
Dadalia's body rolled two weeks in the air and landed firmly on the rushing water directly below. The clear water held him up and swooped down the waterfall. The splashing water gathered in the shape of a spear in his palm, and thunderous The sound of water trembled irregularly in the cavity, playing a tune that seemed to destroy the world. The whole valley trembled slightly at the tune.
"Zhongli...should be drinking tea now, right?"
In Dadalia's pupils, the light of the whale sky flashed away.
