Explorer of Teyvat

After chatting with Hall Master Hu for a long time,

Only then did Hall Master Hu understand that Wanmin Hall really didn’t need literary works, calligraphy and painting.

Given the environment of Wanmintang, the value of these things would be greatly reduced within a few days if they were placed in the store.

Whether it's the environment with people coming and going or the smoke and smoke of restaurants, it's all a kind of harm to these treasures.

Of course, it was also because Wang Daoyi was lazy.

Otherwise, he could use [the power of time] to protect these treasures.

Having lost interest, Hall Master Hu jumped out of the Hall of Rebirth, saying that he was going out to promote business.

Zhongli then led Wang Dao back to his small courtyard with a relaxed look on his face.

"Wherever the emperor has been recently, it's easy to find."

"speak nicely."

Without Hall Master Hu around, Zhongli finally regained the majesty of an emperor.

"Ruotuo's condition has worsened again. I've been going to see him for a few days." Zhongli began to make tea skillfully, "You have already obtained the things. I don't care about the rest. Just notify me when you succeed. "

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly: "The emperor doesn't care?"

Since he returned from Xumi, it can be said that everything that happened was planned by Morax.

Now that the king's magic circle has been learned, the devil's materials are also available.

But Morax suddenly said he didn't care.

This made Wang Daoyi a little confused.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Although I have the ability to block the surveillance of the sky, after all, I was once one of the seven gods. If I participate, there may be loopholes."

Wang Dao's eyes flashed, and he understood in his heart.

No wonder Morax did not show up whether it was the introduction of the [Deception] magic circle or the resurrection of Chi. He only guided him behind the scenes, even vaguely avoiding him.

Is it to avoid being seen by some surveillance?

However, in this way, it seems that the threat in the sky is indeed as Wang Daoyi thought before, deeper and more dangerous.

"I understand, then let me make the arrangements." Wang Daoyi nodded slightly and took over everything.

They chatted casually again and changed the topic back to the wedding.

"According to Master Mao's and my ideas, it must comply with ancient rituals, but it should not be too complicated. Therefore, the final decision was three betrothal gifts and six gifts."

Zhong Li smiled slightly. The incident between Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling was also a happy event for him.

Both Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling can be regarded as his direct descendants: "Those who are obscene will combine the two surnames to serve the ancestral temple, and to inherit the descendants.

Therefore, men attach great importance to it, so they use the obsequious ceremony to accept gifts, ask names, accept gifts, accept invitations, and ask for appointments.

When you enter, you bow and give way, and then ascend, you obey the orders of the temple, and you bow and greet you outside the door. When you enter, you bow and give way, and you ascend, and you obey the orders of the temple, so you should be respectful, careful, and observant..."

Listening to the "Book of Rites" from Zhongli's mouth, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly.

"Leave it to Liu Yun and the others to write the three books, which will be enough to carry your luck."

Three books are three betrothals, so three betrothals and six rites are also called three books and six rites.

The "three letters" refer to the documents used in the "six rites" process, including letters of appointment, letters of etiquette and letters of welcome.

"Six etiquette" refers to the entire marriage process from proposal to marriage, that is, six etiquette methods, including accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, and welcoming.

Letter of appointment: It is the document of engagement. When a man and a woman enter into a marriage contract, the man's family will give the letter of engagement to the woman's family.

Rite book: It is a document that needs to be used when giving a big gift. It mainly lists the items and quantities of the big gift.

Welcoming letter: It is the document for marrying the bride. It is the document that the man gives to the woman when she comes to marry the bride.

In fact, when Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling got engaged, the engagement letter had already been issued, and Zhongli helped arrange it at that time.

Now that there are still ritual books and welcome books, Zhongli, as the organizer, naturally cannot handle it all by himself, so he leaves it to a few immortals, who are enough to carry Wang Daoyi's luck.

"As for the matter of acceptance, we need a matchmaker to come to our door. Uncle Tian came here and told us to leave this matter to him."

As the saying goes, "The orders of parents are the words of matchmakers."

The first step in the Six Rites is to accept the offer. Normally, the offer should be accepted first and then the letter of engagement is issued. However, Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling got engaged first, so the steps were naturally changed.

"Uncle Tian? Yes. As a Tianshu star, Uncle Tian has high morals and high prestige. He deserves to be the matchmaker." Wang Daoyi was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "As for [Dian Yan], Liu Yun said she would prepare it for you."

[Dianyan] is the first step in the ceremony, because the wild goose represents loyalty, yin and yang, and harmony. After the completion of the ceremony, the wild goose needs to be released, otherwise it will be unlucky.

Wang Daoyi's mouth twitched slightly, and Liu Yun asked Feng Zhenjun to help find Dayan. This was... unexpectedly reasonable.

Zhongli smiled slightly and continued to explain the process to Wang Daoyi.

After the acceptance, it is time to ask for the name. As the name suggests, the name asking means asking the woman's name and birthday; both parties' horoscopes match.

Then enters the Najib stage, which mainly involves telling the woman the result of the name inquiry, giving gifts but not betrothal gifts, and issuing a marriage certificate. This process also requires a funeral ceremony.

These two steps were also disrupted by Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling's engagement, but Zhongli rearranged it, canceled some steps, and retained the name change, gift giving, marriage certificate, and memorial ceremony.

Then came the tax collection.

Most of the six million molas prepared by Wang Daoyi will be used here.

"One mountain of gold, five mountains of silver, fifty pieces of cloud satin, five hundred pieces of silk, what do you think of this betrothal gift?"

Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi.

Needless to say, Jinshan and Yinshan are all made of gold and silver, and are hills half as tall as a man.

Although Teyvat uses mola as its currency, gold and silver are precious metals.

The gold was originally part of Mora's construction.

Silver is also often used in various alchemical circles and weapon castings.

As for cloud satin, it is the best silk satin in Liyue, and Liyue's annual output is only fifty pieces.

Silk is Liyue's face product. Five hundred pieces is not a lot, but it is definitely eye-catching.

Wang Daoyi nodded lightly: "It's fine if the emperor makes the decision."

"As I said before, the due date is on the 15th after March. Remember to leave enough time."

The date of application is to choose a good day to get married, and the date has been set beforehand.

Wang Daoyi counted the days, and it was probably half a month before the Hai Lantern Festival.

"No problem, I haven't had much to do recently. I have enough time." Wang Daoyi replied.

"As for the personal welcome, will you use an eight-carat sedan chair or something else?"

The personal welcome was the most helpless part for Wang Daoyi.

To put it simply, the groom personally goes to the bride’s home to pick up the bride.

Most people can just use a sedan to take them back.

But Wang Daoyi... It's not that he doesn't have a home, but he really doesn't have a permanent place to live.

You can't take him back to Red Sand Temple from Liyue.

As for the Pier Tea Room…

Not to mention that Wang Daoyi had already decided to give it to Sisi. Even the small space of the teahouse was not worthy of the many previous projects.

Finally, Master Mao and Zhongli discussed it. Anyway, the wedding banquet was held at Qunyu Pavilion, so the wedding ceremony was scheduled to be at Qunyu Pavilion.

Anyway, Ningguang didn't have any objections, but was very happy.

With this set of rules, Qunyu Pavilion can be regarded as half of Wang Daoyi's family.

"I have a group of exotic dragon lizards under me. How about using them to carry the sedan?" Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea.

Zhong Li's hand holding the tea cup froze slightly, and then glared at Wang Daoyi: "...Nonsense."

Zhongli values ​​etiquette, which is the contract between ancient people and modern people.

Although it is not necessary to stick to the status quo, using dragon lizards to pick up relatives is also deviant.

Then, before Wang Dao could say anything, Zhongli said to himself: "There is a really powerful horse in the Qianyan Army. You can go back and borrow it for use."

Wang Dao curled his lips. He thought the dragon lizard was better, both mighty and obedient.

However, under Zhongli's gaze, Wang Daoyi still nodded: "I'll go find Pan Lie. It's easy to borrow a horse."

"Well, that's all you have to do. Once your Mora is delivered, Master Mao and I will start making arrangements."

"Okay." Wang Dao nodded.

At the end of the day, he just nodded.

Like most men, I have no say in this kind of thing, so I just have to listen to the arrangements.

"There is also the matter of wedding invitations. If you are close to them, you can send them yourself. But for some special people who are not close to each other, you still have to follow etiquette." Zhongli added another point.

The royal way is clear.

With close friends like Tong Qiu and Chong Yun, it would be natural for Wang Daoyi or Xiang Ling to send the wedding invitations herself.

But there are also some people whose relationship is not far or close, but the other party has a special status.

For example, the Yao Shenzi, such as Captain Qin, Grandpa Lu, these people are relatively familiar but do not have close contact with each other, so they need to send someone to send wedding invitations.

Then there are some people with special status, such as Barbatos, Balzebul, and even the supreme judge of Fontaine.

It is difficult to define their status, but it seems unjustifiable if Wang Daoyi does not invite them.

After all, what happens after [Deception] may require cooperation with them.

"For relatives and friends, Xiangling and I will send them off. As for those who are farther away, I will send someone. As for them... I will go there myself."

Zhongli didn't express his opinion and just nodded.

"Then it's okay. You can go."

He brought the tea and saw off the guests.

Naturally, Wang Daoyi would not stay shamelessly. He wiped his dirty hands on the stone table, took away a bag of tea leaves from Zhongli, and left humming the latest ditty of Yunhan Club.

Zhongli:……

After leaving Zhongli's small courtyard, I didn't see Hall Master Hu. I heard Lord Henghehezhen say that Hall Master Hu has been out running business these days and usually doesn't come back until dinner time.

Hu Tao arranged it, and Wang Daoyi did not stay in the Purity Hall anymore and went directly back to the Wanmin Hall.

As usual, I spent the entire afternoon getting Master Mao drunk after dinner. After freshening up, I went to Xiangling's room.

"In addition to the relatives and friends that uncle will invite, who are the people you want to invite yourself?"

Holding Xiang Ling's soft body in his arms and gently stroking his smooth back with one hand, Wang Daoyi whispered into Xiang Ling's ear.

Xiang Ling was lying on Wang Daoyi's body, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she was enjoying the caress of her lover. When she suddenly heard this question, she was stunned for a moment.

It took a while to realize: "I seem to be good friends like Yun Jin, Xin Yan and the others... Oh, and Diona!"

Xiangling's social circle is not very wide. In addition to a few young Eye of God holders in Liyue, there is also Diona from Mondstadt City.

As for Grandma Ping, she is an elder and should be invited by Master Mao.

"In this case, I have already given Xingqiu, Chongyun and Hutao. I will give you the wedding invitation later. You can give it to whomever you should give it to." Wang Daoyi said softly.

"Huh?" Xiangling raised her little head slightly, "Why don't you go with me to send it off?"

Wang Daoyi raised his hand slightly and rubbed Xiang Ling's hair. It was magical. Although he was in a pyrotechnics business, Xiang Ling's hair quality was surprisingly good.

Not only is it soft, but it’s also long and full of color.

"I'm also going to send wedding invitations. I'll send people to send them to some friends who are further away. The same goes for Diona. There are also some guys with special status, I have to send them in person."

"Oh." Xiang Ling nodded in understanding, and then buried her face into Wang Daoyi's chest.

——

Early the next morning,

A sign announcing the closure of business was hung at the door of Wanmin Hall.

Master Mao is going to Yujingtai to discuss the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion.

Xiangling was going to send wedding invitations to her friends, and she also brought rice dumplings.

And Wang Daoyi is also going on a long journey.

Therefore, there was no one in Wanmin Hall, so it naturally closed down.

Saying goodbye to Xiang Ling and Master Mao, Wang Dao left Liyue Port, randomly found a corner, and opened the earth channel.

Mondstadt, the wind rises from the ground,

Huge trees stand behind the statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods, with the gently flowing wind element surging on the branches and leaves.

Dozens of wind crystal butterflies are flying under the cover of trees,

This kind of environment with a slight wind element is undoubtedly the favorite place of the Wind Crystal Butterfly.

Wang Daoyi stood in front of the giant tree, looking at the trees in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.

What was once a seedling has turned into a towering tree, but where are the people who originally planted it?

"Do you like trees very much?"

A soft voice came from behind Wang Daoyi. In addition to the voice, there was also a smell of alcohol.

The tip of his nose twitched slightly, and Wang Daoyi showed a hint of amusement: "Master Diluc is actually willing to give you wine on credit?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Although the Dawn Wine is very expensive, I am also the best bard in Mondstadt. As long as I save a few months of money, I can still afford it."

Wendy's little face had a look of wine, and she could still faintly see a hint of drunkenness.

"Did you actually pay? I thought it was on credit again." Wang Daoyi shrugged indifferently.

"Humph." Wendy snorted and rolled her eyes, but did not refute and changed the subject, "What are you doing in Mondstadt this time?"

As the god of Mondstadt, Wendy noticed it immediately as soon as Wang Daoyi appeared in Fengqi Land. After all, Wang Daoyi did not hide his aura.

Seeing Wang Daoyi staying at Fengqi Land and starting to look at the trees and sighing, Wendy understood that the other party was here to find her, so she showed up.

"Two things." Wang Dao stretched out his hand and raised two fingers, "First, my wedding, I will send you a wedding invitation."

A wedding invitation floated towards Wendy.

"Wedding invitation? Wedding wine! That's good!" Wendy rolled her eyes. As a god who lives next to Liyue, he knew very well about Liyue's wedding banquet, and wine would be indispensable anyway.

Without any hesitation, he put away the wedding invitation and stuffed it into his arms.

"I accepted it. I will definitely be there when the time comes. What's one more thing?"

"How do you deal with the soul?" Wang Daoyi said softly.

Wang Daoyi's question seemed like a basin of cold water poured over him. Wendy's drunken face froze, and then she waved her hand, and the wind element surged, disrupting the air in the area.

"What do you want to know?"

"Sleep of the Maintainer, you should also take action."

"Huh? Haha, haha, I don't even know what you are talking about." Wendy pretended to be dumbfounded.

"I also want to capture Xumi's soul, and I hope you can give me some advice." Wang Daoyi continued softly.

Wendy rolled her eyes: "Just go back and ask your old man about this kind of thing."

Then looking at Wang Daoyi's serious eyes, Wendy's eyes retreated slightly,

The secret of the souls of the people is already one of the deepest secrets of the Seven Dominions.

After a moment of silence, Wendy finally spoke: "The souls of Mondstadt's people will return to Qianfeng."

Return to Qianfeng?

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky: "Millennium music?"

"Ahem, cough, cough, just know it, don't say it." Wendy quickly interrupted Wang Daoyi's words.

Seeing Wendy like this, Wang Daoyi knew that he must have guessed correctly.

In Liyue, the Palace of Rebirth helped the emperor to retain the souls of his people, so there must be something similar in Mondstadt.

The emperor was still awake anyway, but Barbatos had really been asleep for a while, and even Tevalin was plotted against him before he woke up.

Therefore, the person or thing that keeps Mond's soul trapped must be something that can still function without the subject of Wendy.

So, is there anything in Mondstadt that can leave Wendy's body, operate, and cover the entire Mondstadt?

Neither the Knights nor the Church of West Wind can do it.

The only thing that can do this is the [Millennium Great Movement] that envelopes Mondstadt.

The fuel wood that covers Mondstadt and intercepts the sky can, on the one hand, promote the weakness of the maintainer, and on the other hand, it can also maintain the operation of the [Millennium Great Movement].

Barbatos not only intercepted these powers, but also used them to maintain Mondstadt's four seasons of spring.

After thinking about this, Wang Dao looked at Wendy again and again with a hint of fear in his eyes.

As expected of one of the original Seven Consuls, such a scheming guy disguises himself as a harmless person.

If Wang Daoyi wasn't a bit special himself, who would suspect an alcoholic who drinks and sings all day long?

Even thinking deeper,

Wendy did give up part of the power of the God of Wind, and Dainsreb also said that if Barbatos wants to return, he needs to wear the crown again.

So, where exactly is this [Crown]?

Is it hidden in the [Millennium Great Movement] that envelopes Mondstadt?

Relying on the fuel wood that has been intercepted for thousands of years, Barbatos' [Crown] may have become more powerful than it was a thousand years ago.

This poet who sings and drinks every day is actually growing stronger every day.

His eyes flickered, and Wang Dao returned his gaze to Wendy: "The wedding invitations have been sent, and I have asked about the matters, so I will leave first. See you at the wedding banquet, Barbatos."

Wendy's eyes flashed slightly: "Goodbye, Lord Chengfa Mystery."

The earth's veins surged, and Wang Dao left immediately.

Wendy, on the other hand, continued to stand in front of the big tree in Fengqidi, with a slightly lowered expression, and reached out to touch the big tree in front of her.

"Winesa..."
