Explorer of Teyvat

After Gan Yu left.

Xiangling's voice sounded: "Everyone, I just thought of something. I just saw the True Lord and I remembered it. Is this Kitchen God also an immortal?"

Keqing thought: "It's possible. I dare not say yes or no, but the possibility is indeed very high."

"Then we should ask the immortal for help. I think the master may be able to help."

"Master, you mean that your teacher is an immortal?"

Xiangling nodded: "She is at Yujingtai. I will take you to find her."

Yujingtai.

Xiangling shouted loudly: "Master——!"

They walked up to a kind old woman.

At this moment, Guo Ba also jumped to say hello to Grandma Ping. Obviously, Guo Ba was very happy to see someone familiar.

Grandma Ping smiled kindly and said, "Xiang Ling is here."

"Xiang Ling's master is Grandma Ping?!"

“This is really unexpected”

For a moment, both Paimon and Keqing were a little surprised.

Not paying attention to everyone's reaction, Xiangling smiled and said:

"Master, how are you doing at home these days?"

"That's great. Everyone, you are actually free to come visit me today." Grandma Ping smiled kindly, her eyes glanced at Wang Daoyi. Seeing that he didn't seem to be ready to speak, she didn't say hello specifically.

Then, Xiangling asked: "Hello! Master, we have something to ask you. Do you know the Kitchen God?"

"Of course I know. So, it's the Moon Festival recently. I see, do you want to inquire about the Kitchen God?"

"Yes, something happened recently. We are investigating." Keqing nodded and told the old man in front of her about the recent investigation.

After hearing this, Grandma Ping sighed with emotion,

"Well, the boulder appeared, so you launched an investigation. You guessed it right. I do know the Kitchen God you mentioned. But it happened a long, long time ago. The Zhuyue Festival is a ceremony of the immortal family, and the people of Liyue cannot Fairy affairs, however, also imitated this ritual and evolved into many festivals in the name of chasing the moon."

"On a day when the moonlight is beautiful, everyone gathers together, drinks good wine and tea, tastes delicious food, and celebrates the joy of reunion. Later, the Rock King Emperor would commemorate a friend and combine these various festivals with the word Zhuyue . Looking at the earth through the sky, taking the moon as an oath, remembering the past and thinking about the present, and having reunions and joy, this is the Moon-Chasing Festival."

"Emperor. Alas." Hearing this word, Ke Qing shook her head.

"The emperor has always paid attention to tradition. Unfortunately, from now on, the inheritance of tradition can only be done by us descendants."

Keqing: The twisted imperial chef.

Although I don’t worship gods, I have figurines of gods at home.

Grandma Ping smiled kindly and said: "The Kitchen God has made a lot of contributions to Liyue. The emperor always attaches great importance to it. It is also a kind of affection to use this season to commemorate the old friend. I guess those festivals may include the Kitchen God Festival that once existed."

"Ke Qing, you must not underestimate yourself. If there are thoughtful people in the future who care about these traditional rituals, the emperor will be very happy if he knows about it."

Keqing was silent for a long time, and then she said: "Thank you."

At this time, a Qianyan Army member came over and informed Keqing that Ningguang had something to see her. He said goodbye and left here.

After Keqing left, Grandma Ping smiled and said:

"Do you want to know who the emperor's friend is?"

"Friend? Could it be the Kitchen God?" Ying asked.

Grandma Ping smiled and nodded, "Well, she is still so sharp. There are not so many coincidences and lost festivals in the world. Of course, former friends are all the same thing. The Kitchen God is also my good friend, but unfortunately for some reasons, The Kitchen God is no longer there, and at the same time, he has also disappeared from people’s memories.”

"why is it like this"

Wang Daoyi hugged Guo Ba and said softly: "The devil is immortal. When the land regains its vitality, the Kitchen God may return to the world in some way."

Grandma Ping looked at the serious look on this man's face, then at the rice cooker he was holding, and smiled: "Yes, when the earth regains its vitality and thousands of families light up their furnaces, He will come back. "

Xiang Ling: "Really? Then the good master must also miss the Kitchen God very much. I think your tone of talking about the Kitchen God is like talking about a very close friend."

"Yeah, all the things in the past are really nostalgic. Speaking of which, Keqing is actually investigating this matter. That kid is very persistent and will go all out for what he believes in. He makes everyone energetic and really wants to help. She lends a hand.”

"It's a pity that I can't tell the answer directly, because this process is very important to her. Keqing's grandfather also studied the Kitchen God. Is Keqing his granddaughter? These stories, let Keqing, who inherited the mystery, pursue it herself. Bar."

"Grandma Ping actually knows Keqing's grandfather?"

"Of course, everyone in Liyue is my old friend. At that time, her grandfather was just as old as she was, and he was still a young man."

Grandma Ping seemed to be recalling the past, "They, grandfather and grandson, were carved from the same mold. They persisted in everything seriously and had the courage to practice."

To Grandma Ping, everything in Liyue is like her most precious bonsai. She has watched this country become more and more beautiful and prosperous, and watched generations of people grow up and pass away.

The cycle of life and death is just like this.

"That's great!" At this time, Grandma Ping sighed, and then smiled at everyone, "Your idea of ​​using the stone as a clue to investigate is absolutely correct. It is indeed related to the Kitchen God, and the secret of the Kitchen God is hidden in it."

"I also want to see that stone. Please take me over to have a look. Maybe the truth will come to light just by looking at it." With some emotion in her tone, Grandma Ping casually glanced at Guo Ba, who was playing with Wang Daoyi. continued.

So, everyone went to the stone statue again.

But Ke Qing, who left before, has been waiting here for a long time.

"Everyone, I was just thinking about sending someone to invite you, but you came here."

Grandma Ping asked: "Ke Qing, has there been any change to the boulder?"

"There's a crack in the corner of the stone, but we can't tell what's inside yet."

"Did someone secretly smash it?" Paimon asked in confusion.

Keqing held up her hands, as if thinking: "It should be naturally occurring, our swords and guns have no effect on it."

Grandma Ping smiled slightly: "This is because all kinds of things among the people are the source of the Kitchen God's power. The heat of cooking, the joy of reunion, haha, please work harder, I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

Paimon looked confused: "The Kitchen God, Kitchen God, is said in the book to be the god in charge of eating. Could it be that the stone is cracked because someone is working hard to cook?"

Keqing frowned and thought: "The statue will draw on the power of the people. If the Kitchen God is in charge of fire and cooking, then people's efforts in cooking will be passed on to the Kitchen God statue."

Then his eyes lit up: "The theme of this year's Moon-by-Moon Festival is food and mountains and rivers designated by me and Ningguang. Recently, all the chefs who plan to compete are making serious preparations. Paimeng's guess is not impossible."

Xiangling also looked excited: "Besides, many people go home for reunion dinner during the Zhuyue Festival. It's been very lively everywhere recently. The more people there are, the more festive the atmosphere will be."

Paimon smiled and said: "The excitement in Liyue can cause the stone to crack. Does that mean that when the excitement reaches a certain level, the stone will completely explode?"

Xiang Ling also smiled and said: "You can't be wrong, right, Master."

"Hahahaha, you might as well give it a try."

On the other side, Wang Daoyi continued to play with Guo Ba, listened to everyone's conversation, and said to Guo Ba: "Guo Ba, everyone admires you!"

Guo Ba tilted his head and showed a puzzled expression: "Luh~"
