Chapter 25 Day 9 of Watching a Play in Liyue
Before nightfall, most of the preparations had been completed, thanks to the traveler's tireless running around. The last piece of immortality incense needed would have to wait until the next day to be purchased at Bubulu.
"Qingli, you just arrived in Liyue. If you don't have a place to rest, you can come with us to the inn provided by the young master."
In a country like Liyue with a strong business atmosphere, if you don’t have an acquaintance to introduce you, you are very likely to suffer losses.
Kong was a little worried that his new friend would encounter difficulties. At least he had a few good friends in Liyue. Of course, Young Master was not one of them at the moment.
At least not until you're sure he's a friend and not an enemy.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Shui Qingli blinked and accepted the traveler's kindness, but he did not come unprepared.
"Diluk also has a business in Liyue. Before I left Mondstadt, he told me that I could go to his shop in Liyue for help."
He felt that getting in touch with Diluk and finalizing the cooperation was the most profitable deal. He only helped him adjust the water quality of the Dawn Winery and provided some suggestions for wine and beverages, but he could get so many conveniences. It was really a big profit.
After all, anything related to water is easy for him to handle, almost effortless.
"Hey? Master Diluk actually has an industry in Liyue?"
Paimon opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise.
She knew that Diluk was the richest man in Mondstadt, but she never expected that he also had property in Liyue. If she had known this earlier, why would she and the Traveler have been hiding in Liyue for a while and finally had to ask for help from the Young Master to find a place to stay? !
"So you didn't know..."
Well, if Mr. Anlit hadn't reminded him before, he wouldn't have known about this. After all, Mr. Diluk is a very low-key person and doesn't like to show off how many properties he has.
"It's good that the three of you have a place to stay."
Zhongli naturally had to return to the Wangsheng Hall.
"In that case, let's meet at Bubulu tomorrow."
The next day, they arrived at the door of Bubu Lu early.
There are two shops in Liyue Harbor that are the least popular on weekdays, one is Wangsheng Hall and the other is Bubulu. The former is for sending people to the afterlife, needless to say, and the latter is purely for price reasons.
There are many doctors in Liyue, and the emperor once passed down many skills to cure diseases and save lives. But in today's godless Liyue, the owner of Bubu Lu can be regarded as the best doctor in Liyue Harbor.
The medicine from Bubulu is just like the wine given by the angels. It is a popular medicine spread throughout the seven countries. The only thing is one word: expensive.
However, when thinking of Bai Zhu's body, Zhongli still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Human fragility and strength, obsession to live and tenacious will are fully reflected in him, which always makes people worry that he will go astray one day.
If a doctor with great medical skills wanted to do evil... That's why he agreed to Bai Zhu taking Qiqi in. At least so far, Bai Zhu has not done anything bad to Qiqi.
It's just the obsession to survive.
They walked into the store and saw no one else there, but there was a small body standing behind the counter.
She was a little girl with a yellow talisman on her head, a pale and cold face, and a dazed look in her red pupils.
Kong couldn't help but take a look at the yellow talisman on her forehead. The talisman had symbols he couldn't understand. Maybe it was a magical technique unique to Liyue, but he recognized the child's appearance.
"Is she... a zombie?"
"Welcome to Bubulu, I'm Qiqi. Qiqi has died once. Later, I was saved by an immortal, so I'm a zombie."
Qiqi paused for a few times. Although her speech was a little slow, she still fully expressed her meaning.
On her hat, there is a divine eye of ice element. It does not have the sharp aura like Eula's that is almost hurtful to others and herself, but it is surprisingly soft.
Kong was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable. This child looked... young.
Has he died once at such a young age?
But Shui Qingli behind him wanted to retreat reflexively, but finally controlled herself.
This can't be blamed on him. It's just that Qiqi had eaten too many small guarantees and he could hardly control his legs.
Of course, I wouldn’t say that I hate Qiqi, but it’s really depressing that this adorable zombie is always misunderstood.
"Hey... little friend, may I ask if the store sells immortality incense?"
Zhong Li asked.
Affected by the zombie state, Qiqi's thinking has never been fast and he often loses his memory, so Zhongli went straight to the point, but he knew in his heart that things like the Eternal Life Incense would probably have to wait for Bai Zhu to come back.
"Excuse me... the prescription. Do you have it? Bring it here. If you have it, Qiqi can help you get the medicine. This is the pardon Qiqi gave me."
Qiqi spoke word by word. Just as Zhongli expected, Qiqi was good at curing illnesses and saving lives, but she really didn't understand things like the Eternal Life Incense.
Or maybe I have forgotten it.
Of course there is no prescription. If there was, travelers who want to save money might consider making their own medicine instead of spending money to buy it in Bubulu.
Fortunately, Qiqi was also very easy to talk to. She was willing to help them find the eternal life incense if they only asked for one favor.
Well, just ask them to help hunt coconut sheep in Tianheng Mountain.
Shui Qingli covered her mouth.
Manager Baizhu, who made up a story about the coconut sheep to trick children, is just a jerk, but old man Zhongli, who cooperated with Qiqi and took Kong Zhen to use Guizhong to find the coconut sheep, is also very funny.
Although he knew it was a wasted trip, Shui Qingli still accompanied Kong to Tianheng Mountain where the final destination was placed.
In the end, Liyue's anti-demon-level crossbow was made by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and set up by the Demon God of Dust in Tianheng Mountain. It was Liyue's war weapon in ancient times.
However, for Liyue today, the Guizhong Machine is of no further use, so it has been almost abandoned and even damaged.
The residents of Liyue, who had been protected under the wings of Emperor Geo for thousands of years, had long been accustomed to the emperor's invincibility. In addition, after the establishment of the Seven Ruling Lords of the Earthly Realm, very few demons dared to invade Liyue, so the people of Liyue had almost forgotten about this killing weapon.
But if we want to rely on human-ruled Liyue to fight against the demon god, the role of Guizhongji is self-evident.
As it had not been maintained for a long time, no one knew that the Guizhong Machine was damaged, and there was no one to repair it, not to mention the Thousand Rock Army patrolling here. The people of Liyue seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of this former war weapon.
Only the treasure-hunting groups lurking in the wild occasionally visit here, hoping to squeeze out more benefits.
"You guys are just going to watch me fight alone?"
After enduring it again and again, the traveler with a very good temper finally had some veins popping out.
Why can these two just stand there like an old man, watching him fight with the treasure-stealing gang, just to enjoy the fun?
