Chapter 378 Hometown, Ghost Stories

"Look for a good place with good feng shui."

"The coffin is made of copper, and the mountain is the tomb."

"The underground palace is filled with rare treasures and is filled with mechanical crossbows."

“I will use mercury to make rivers and streams, and restore the appearance of my hometown. I will inlay night-shining pearls on the dome, and restore the starry sky of my hometown.”

"Use mermaid fat to make a lamp that never goes out."

"Use another million clay dolls to guard the underground palace and my tomb."

Jiang Yi's eyes were filled with anticipation. "It's very simple. It can be easily done with the technology of Teyvat. It can also add a little bit of elemental technology and mechanical technology..."

Walnut pondered for a moment.

“Is this a burial?”

It doesn't sound outrageous, and it's really simple compared to the first requirement, and a bunch of mortals can do it.

but……

"This hall master thinks you have bad intentions. You buried yourself in the ground hoping to be resurrected! A million clay dolls, are you planning to conquer the world after death?"

"If such a large tomb is polluted by something, even if there are millions of evil spirits, how long will it take me to burn it?"

After meeting Jiang Yi, Hu Tao was truly eye-opening.

It was the first time I saw Huixu's pure yang body, the first time I saw a mortal soul that could remain rational despite countless resentments, and the first time I heard of these arrogant funerals.

A boy’s dream: Whose tomb is this in your hometown?

"Is this impossible?" Jiang Yi really wanted to leave an extraterrestrial civilization wonder in Teyvat one day.

Moreover, they set up a fake extremely dangerous tomb, waiting for the adventurer to break in after much difficulty, and then threw out an ordinary treasure chest containing only 200 Mora.

"Oh no! Burial is not popular anymore. Cremation is the safest." Walnut waved her hands, "Change it!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yi put away the clay doll and put his hands behind his back.

The wind blows and the bamboo forest rustles.

The surface of the lake is stained with fallen leaves.

He stood on the shore with a deep look in his eyes, and the relaxed atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

"Cremation is fine!"

"But... it's hard to leave my hometown. I've already signed up for the business at Wangsheng Hall. Can you send me back to my hometown?"

“I want to tell people back home that I have been to a beautiful world.”

A sense of grief appeared in Ying's heart, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Hometown..."

Hu Tao looked solemn. This time, Jiang Yi's words seemed to be sincere.

This request is not too difficult. I can send you back to your hometown.

but……

"I forgot to ask, where is your home?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Ying and Paimon were silent, with somewhat subtle expressions.

"My home!" Jiang Yi looked up. "Outside the world, outside the starry sky, or maybe outside the universe... I don't know where it is."

"But I know the stars of my homeland."

"There are seven stars in the middle, in the shape of a spoon. Their names are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang..."

"It's called the Big Dipper!"

Paimon was surprised: "Isn't this... the name of the Seven Stars of Liyue?"

"Could it be that Liyue has a connection with Jiang Yi's hometown?"

“So, it doesn’t feel out of place for him to pretend to be a Liyue person.”

Ying looked at Jiang Yi. Hearing the name of the star of his hometown in another world, she wondered what he felt in his heart. Was he missing it?

"The Big Dipper?" Hu Tao wanted to convince himself that Jiang Yi was playing a trick on him again, but looking at his expression and the emotions he revealed, it seemed real.

"Is this the only clue?" she asked.

"Isn't this clue enough?" Jiang Yi responded.

"Since you can come here, there's no reason why you can't go back!" Hu Tao said, "I'll take this job. You can pay the deposit to Wangshengtang after I find your hometown."

"Finally, I want to ask, maybe you are not from another world at all, but you have lost your memory. You have imagined yourself after reading too many fantasy novels, but you still remember the Seven Stars of Liyue."

“Well, your guess sounds a bit like a ghost story to me!” Jiang Yi laughed, “You said I’m from Liyue? Haha…”

"Then go find the traces of my existence in Liyue!"

“So confident!” Hu Tao raised her eyebrows. She decided to accept the challenge and find out whether Jiang Yi is from Liyue.

"I know my origins, so of course I am confident." Jiang Yi reached out and plucked a bamboo leaf. The bamboo leaf was real.

"I'll tell you a ghost story too!"

"Maybe I know you better than you think. You once had a 10% favorable impression of me. The entire Teyvat can be in someone's hands, and all living things are created by others!"

Walnut thought for a moment, "What does a favorability rating of 10 mean? Does it mean I like you very much? And do you understand me?"

"Teyvat can be held in one's hand, and living things are created by others. Is this some new type of myth? Where did Teyvat scholars publish their research results?"

"I think the first sentence is definitely a tease, and the second sentence is fabricated." Paimeng swore.

Ying looked strange, ignoring the half-true and half-false myth behind it, Jiang Yi imagined that Hu Tao liked him...

Is this personality type okay? Does he like girls like he likes eating, and is not picky about food?

I had underestimated him before, actually daring to conclude that the two of us were not suitable.

"A favorability level of 10 means I like it the most. I have received many business cards with a favorability level of 10." Jiang Yi recalled the glorious past years, in which he led a group of girls to challenge the abyss and sweep across Teyvat in the game.

"Ghost stories are of course not to be taken seriously, just listen to them." He waved his hand, "There is an ancient anchor point ahead, Ying, I'm counting on you!"

You are so skilled! Ying complained in her heart.

Walnut made a "tsk" sound and said, "Your ghost story is not scary at all."

"You know me! Do you know what kind of food I like?"

"Boiled fish with shrimp dumplings!" Jiang Yi replied casually.

Hu Tao paused. She actually guessed it right. Was it a coincidence? Something was wrong!

"What about the food I hate?"

"Qingxin fried slime gel!" Jiang Yi replied.

Hu Tao took a deep breath, is there any privacy left in this world?

"Did you use any magic?"

"Guess?" Jiang Yi said proudly.

"This is... Jiang Yi's divination technique!" Paimeng looked at Hu Tao's shocked expression and quickly thought of a certain magic technique that Jiang Yi had mentioned.

"Maybe?" Ying was also a little confused. Every time Jiang Yi pretended to be mysterious, she couldn't see through him.

Hu Tao wanted to continue asking, but Jiang Yi suddenly shut up.

Hu Tao felt itchy, wondering if this guy really understood her or was just pretending to understand her.

"Ying, go back to Liyue Harbor." Jiang Yi indicated that he was ready and could be teleported.

Ying touched the ancient anchor point, and a burst of light enveloped the four people.

Soon, the scenery changed, and four people appeared instantly on the hillside in front of the Liyue Harbor Bridge.

"So the ghosts that often disappear and appear at the ancient anchor point in the legend are you?" Walnut looked at the bustling port and the busy traffic in front of the bridge. "It's really convenient."

"If we hire Ying, it seems that the business expansion of Wangshengtang can reach far, far places!"

She touched the teleportation anchor curiously, feeling the urge to remove it.

If Ying can be used, there is no reason why I can't use it.

This ancient institution still practices discrimination, right?

A flying kick.

"Let's go! Back to the Hall of Rebirth!"

What happened today was quite interesting, and she wanted to write a few limericks.
