Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

On the way back, Kong hesitated for a while, and then said to Wu Ye: "Wu Ye, why can you use elemental power? You don't have the Eye of God. Do you also..."

Wu Ye denied it flatly: "No, no! This is the magic method I learned from the mountains. There must be something magical about the magic method. My master Jiang Xue can even turn sword energy into snowflakes!"

"But, I once asked Yan Xiao that Jiang Xue has the eye of God."

"Yes, yes, Shen He, who is a descendant of the Xian family like you, also uses the Eye of God when fighting."

Noticing that Kong and Paimon were looking at him with suspicious expressions, Wu Ye could only complain sadly: "You all saw it just now, right? I used the power of the water element, but it sometimes worked and didn't work. In fact, this is the power of the gods. My punishment."

"God's punishment?!"

Kong and Paimon looked shocked, and even Ke Qing and Shen He looked at Wu Ye in confusion.

Wu Ye said seriously: "That's right! It was precisely because I accidentally stole the water god's power and mastered the water element, but the water god discovered it.

"She punished me for not being able to use the water element at will, and sent down an oracle!"

"The oracle shows that every time I use the water element, my sins will increase by one point. Until the sins are serious enough, justice will come, and then I will be sentenced to death directly!"

"Ah!" Paimon was very worried, "What should you do, Wu Ye? Is there any way to solve it?"

"Well, this may require the water god to revoke the oracle himself, but it is probably difficult because the other party hates me."

......

Everyone knew as soon as they heard that Wu Ye was teasing Paimon, but Paimon took it seriously.

in the afternoon.

As soon as Paimon returned to the adventurer's inn, he immediately picked up a pen and paper, and strictly ordered Sora not to peek, and then began to write:

My birthday is finally here, and I want to make three wishes!

I hope that this year we can go to more fun places, eat more delicious food, make more new friends, and leave our footprints in big and small corners with travelers!

The second wish...

......

Sora, who was sitting on the other side and recording his travel diary, suddenly said:

"Paimon, don't repeat it when you write. I heard everything. Also, does your first wish contain too many wishes?"

Paimon was embarrassed at first, then turned around and replied confidently:

"Hey, what's wrong? As long as it's in one sentence, it can be counted as a wish, right? In order to take advantage of this loophole, I thought about it for a long time on the way back!"

Kong laughed dumbly: "Forget it, it's up to you."

Paimon continued:

The second wish is that the books written by Wu Ye will become more and more popular and that Taohua Academy will become better and better. Well, there is also hope that the water god's attitude towards Wu Ye will change from hating to liking, so that the water god will revoke the oracle.

The last wish... I hope that the travelers and the friends I know, including Amber, Kaiya, Qin... Ape God, Wu Ye and Hu Tao, will be happy every day.

Sora looked at Paimon who was giggling, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

Kong took out a heavy cloth bag - the reward given by Wu Ye was exactly one million molas.

Normally, he and Paimon would have to run around outside and take on tasks for a week in a row to earn it, so he decided to take a good rest today and tomorrow.

Outside the window was the constant chirping of cicadas. He put away his travel diary, then stood up and went to the window. He opened the window and saw the sun shining on him, but it was not overly warm like noon, but gentle and gentle.

He noticed that there were several green-leaved precious trees planted outside the first floor of the hotel. The wind, mixed with some lingering warmth, blew a branch with new buds, and cast a blur of light and shadow on the wall.

……

An ordinary afternoon is enough to wash away the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time on the traveler.

……

In the hall of the dead, Hu Tao is giving oral training to the new ceremonial attendants.

"The job of the Rebirth Hall is to 'maintain the boundary between life and death', which includes correcting ordinary people's understanding of death and ghosts. To put it simply, it means to keep people who can't see the 'boundary' as far away from it as possible."

"Funeral funeral matters are also something we are responsible for. There are many traditional funeral rituals - keeping a vigil, burial methods, tablets and utensils... All the above aspects have strict rules. We must be strict when burying people. obey!"

"No matter whether the deceased was born high or low, or how much wealth they had, they must be given a funeral that befits their status. This is the way of hospitality at the Rebirth Hall."

"Yin and Yang are orderly, but fate is impermanent. Death is unpredictable, but it also has its rules. Remember, no matter when, where, or for whatever reason, people should not easily provoke death. Only by knowing it and respecting it , to understand the value of life.”

Originally, this was the responsibility of a certain guest, but that guest took Grandpa Wu to a theater.

Seeing that the other guests were also busy, Hu Tao had no choice but to let her take the lead.

……

"Oh my, don't be too nervous. If I say it, the work in the Rebirth Hall is neither difficult nor scary, just troublesome. Unfortunately, others can't understand it. They are always a little scared when they see us working at night. Alas, it's them I do not know."

Several newcomers nodded, indicating that they understood.

One of the stewards asked curiously: "Hall Master, does our Purity Hall have a long history?"

Hu Tao clasped her hands on her waist: "Well...well, let's listen to what this hall master has to say."

A long time ago, the "Yakhas" under Emperor Yanwang were ordered to fight against the demons that invaded Liyue.

That battle was dizzying and dark.

The demons were finally defeated, but their resentment lingered for a long time.

Some resentments turned into plagues and spread among mortals. Frightened people thought it was a curse cast by the devil.

Many people were killed by the plague, and the plague continued to spread using the dead as a breeding ground.

Later, someone discovered a way to stop the spread of the plague: purify the air and burn the corpses.

The first people to start doing this kind of thing were the original founders of the Rebirth Hall.

Many years passed after that, and the plague was finally completely eradicated.

The Palace of Life has dealt with similar incidents many times in history, and the final result was to bring Liyue's life and death back to a certain balance.

"In short, during the Demon God War, all life was devastated, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and death invaded the world of the living. At that time, the Rebirth Hall was born. As an insignificant human being, it spent a long time driving death back."

"After a long time, the balance was restored and the boundaries between life and death were clearly drawn. Only then did Liyue Port become what it is today, and only then did the Palace of Rebirth become what it is now."

Wu Ye hid his hands behind his back and looked at Hu Tao with a smile in his eyes.

"Am I right?"
