Chapter 551: Failed to find someone
The preparations for the ceremony of inviting the immortals have come to an end.
Because this is what Gu Sanqiu felt personally.
Several groups of people have come to ask if they need to be the high priest, including my elder sister and Keqing.
But without exception, I rejected them all.
Are you kidding? If I were promoted to a position like the chief priest, how could I happily fish in troubled waters?
As the main priest, you have to watch the old man descend from the sky with your own eyes, and you might have to change your acting routine according to unexpected situations.
It's very troublesome.
So Gu Sanqiu refused without even thinking about it, and told his sister to just follow the arrangements for the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Anyway, it was like this in the past. It’s not like his family has a special status, so this kind of thing has to happen to them.
Anyway, in Gu Sanqiu's concept, it is very easy to chat with Emperor Yanwang. He just needs to go out and turn a corner. With his strength, it is just a matter of taking two steps.
Please invite the immortal to perform the ceremony?
Master, I'm still waiting to take a photo. Please allow me to refuse this "boring" job.
Of course, you must never say this to outsiders. Not to mention that Teacher Ke is a hidden fan of the Emperor, even the spectators who don't know the truth will not be able to accept it.
Gu Sanqiu has been particularly idle these past two days, wandering around with a mint in his mouth all day, and often goes to the harbor to fish with Uncle Tian.
What’s quite interesting is that the young man who Uncle Tian mentioned to have dinner with was very nervous. He went to the place where the old man and the young man were fishing to ask around. He thought that Gu Sanqiu had shown up out of nowhere to compete with him.
Considering that this is Sister Huixin's lifelong event and also the life event that the old man Uncle Tian has always been thinking about, Gu Sanqiu did not choose to play a prank, but told the truth to give the young man a reassurance.
But judging from Uncle Tian's behavior, he is currently worrying about Sister Huixin's marriage, and the next step should be to worry about having grandchildren.
Want to relax?
How is that possible.
In addition, these days he would be the leader of the children near the welcoming bridge into Liyue Harbor, playing with a bunch of children.
The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is not just a festival for the people of Liyue. Many foreigners also ignore the long distances and come to experience the unique exotic culture at this grand "celebration".
Of course, among them, there are many Xumi scholars who take the Liyue Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals as their graduation project. After knowing this, Gu Sanqiu could only mourn for them for a second.
After this ceremony of inviting the immortals, I wonder how many Xumi scholars will have their minds blown.
I hope there are no tall buildings on Xumi.
Those foreigners whose clothes and appearances were particularly different were the ones who "opened the eyes" of the children. Occasionally, there would be passing Chamber of Commerce convoys that would give snacks to the children.
It’s a ceremony to invite the immortals, and so many energetic and vibrant children gathered at the Yingbin Bridge, isn’t this a good sign?
It's just a little snack. It's also nice to share in Liyue's joy and save face in front of the people.
Some parents were worried that the area around Yingbin Bridge was dangerous, but their concerns were dispelled after seeing Gu Sanqiu here.
With such a big guy standing here, it would be impossible for his own child, with his thin arms and legs, to succeed even if he tried to jump down.
Of course, there are also bold parents who say, "If the child is disobedient, just give him a beating," which immediately allows the visiting foreign tourists to feel Liyue's unique family education culture.
"Tsk, why doesn't that person come out?"
As evening approached, Gu Sanqiu put fire talismans into firework tubes and distributed them to the children.
Grandma Lin from the orphanage sat nearby, looking at the children with a smile on their faces as they received the fireworks.
In the past two days in Liyue Harbor, the ban on fireworks at night has been lifted except for some specific areas. Except for the brothers of Qianyan Army who were all a little excited after seeing Gu Xiangjun use fire talismans to make firework tubes, everything was filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Xiao Sanqiu, are you waiting for someone?"
Grandma Lin slowly walked up to the older child and said, "I saw you hanging around here these past few days. Did you invite a girl you like to attend the ceremony?"
"That's not true."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head. Although he had been running back and forth between the port and Yingbin Bridge these past two days, in addition to relaxing and adjusting his mentality before the big changes, there was another more important reason.
He was looking for someone, the man in black robe who came over in a black robe to "tease" him at the ceremony to bid farewell to the heroes.
At least judging from the other party's actions and follow-up, the other party must be the old man's hidden henchman. During this period of time, he has been running back and forth not only for security checks, but also to block the other party.
If possible, he hoped that after what happened, the man in black robe could take charge of the Golden House.
The dragon body of the emperor is the transformation of his ancestors.
So tempting.
The Fatui have ideas about the Heart of God, is it true that no one else has ideas about "the Emperor's remains"?
Even dogs don't believe it.
Gu Sanqiu did not forget his mission. For him, leading the cultivation lineage and Qianyan generals to fight against Osel was the top priority.
The Golden House is certainly important, but after Osel breaks the seal, he will rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.
At the very least, we can’t let the ancestor guard the shore alone with no one to care about him, we can’t let Brother Xiao choose to defend the front line to the end, and we can’t let my sister’s Qun Yu Pavilion fall from the sky.
He is overwhelmed.
He needs help.
Golden Hair... To be honest, he didn't know how to use Kong, a "special soldier" with a special identity and ability. Gu Sanqiu never believed too much in variables in rigorous planning.
"I'm just looking for someone who can help me a lot."
He was able to kill the statue of the evil god with one palm, and was able to escape safely from the encirclement of Brother Xiao and Yaolu Weng. He was also the Emperor's hidden henchman, so he must have the strength of an immortal.
And judging from the ruthlessness of the opponent's attack, he is definitely an immortal who specializes in combat and his combat effectiveness is very guaranteed.
"It seems that he is a very important person to have you, Xiangjun, waiting for him like this."
The old woman didn't say much. She was just an old lady from an orphanage and she didn't understand things that were too profound or complicated.
For her, protecting children's smiles and childhood is all she can do.
Gu Sanqiu closed his eyes and released his mental power, but the divination did not show the "disaster" that Liyue was going to experience.
But it is understandable. Liyue has no shortage of practitioners who study this aspect. If events of this magnitude could be predicted, the effect might not be so good.
It is likely that the one who is “hiding the secret” is not just his own father.
In a hidden cave in Guiliyuan, the black-robed man sitting on the throne suddenly opened his eyes, supported himself with his hands and stood up, looking in the direction of Liyue Harbor.
"Hey, hey, is this a spiritual message from my family's internal practice?"
The man in black robe coughed twice and forced a smile.
"Strange old man, my identity seems to have been discovered. Since the person at home can ask for help in this way, it is very likely that he has already determined that I am a member of the Gu family."
"Should I help you with this?"
"Go back and sit down. Don't stand up and walk around if you're not feeling well."
Zhongli's gentle voice rang out: "This is not something you should be concerned about. If the situation becomes irreversible, I will let you take action."
"Take care of yourself, now is not the time."
