Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 51 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony

After a flash of white light, everything in his eyes changed.

In the dormitory, Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look at his hands, smiling without saying a word.

"Hey, didn't Junior Brother say a few days ago that he wouldn't be entering the country recently? How come he just woke up now?"

The person who spoke was Ran Ziyou. Standing outside the door with him were his two fellow students Zeng Xi and Yan Ziyuan.

Su Ping shook his head and just smiled. He was full of righteousness at the moment and didn't want to speak yet. He wanted some time to adapt.

So as to avoid making ordinary words sound passionate and cadenced, which would only add to the jokes.

Zeng Xi patted Ran Ziyou and said, "Little brother has just woken up, so stop talking nonsense and let him have a good rest."

"That's right, even if Brother Ziyou wants to take advantage of someone's misfortune, there's no way to do it." Yan Ziyuan looked mocking and immediately added insult to injury.

Ran Ziyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You two, if I hadn't told you first, who knows what you would have done, the thief crying catch thief!"

"Those who have it have a devil in their hearts!"

"You have your own place. Even if heaven and earth cannot tolerate it, we are not ashamed!"

Zeng Xi and Yan Ziyuan greeted them in unison, regaining some of their momentum.

Then, Zeng Xi put the lunch box in his hand on the table, let his junior eat well, then turned to the door and opened his mouth to challenge.

Su Ping felt empty in his stomach and looked outside the door. It was sunset, with some afterglow lingering on the earth.

This time he entered the country and spent a whole day.

But think about the gain, after all, good things in the world are free, pie in the sky is something that can only be encountered by chance, Su Ping feels that it is hopeless for him to encounter it in this life.

Su Ping simply stopped thinking about it and opened the lunch box. The delicious meal, coupled with the verbal battle between the three senior students, was perfect.

……

The tides rise and fall, the clouds roll and disperse, the day and night alternate, and time flies and it is the seventh day of March.

Liyue Harbor was bustling with activity that day, because a ceremony that had been passed down since ancient times was to be performed today.

That is the ceremony of inviting the immortals, in which the Rock God of Liyue descends to the world to give instructions on the direction of the coming year. Many businessmen can gain huge profits from those words, so they are the first group of people to rush to the front.

A group of students, including Su Ping, also went to Yujing Terrace to watch the ceremony under the leadership of the Master.

Su Ping still had some impression of the ceremony of inviting the immortals, but that time the emperor faked his death, so this time he should be able to see the complete ceremony.

As for the date of this ceremony, Su Ping learned from the teacher's introduction that the date of the annual ceremony of inviting the immortals was set by the Emperor himself and announced to the world.

In this way, it feels like the leader is checking on the work and business.

After climbing up the stairs, you will reach the outskirts of Yujing Terrace. The flower beds here seem to be very unusual.

Although Su Ping forgot the name of the flowers inside, he could tell at a glance that they were expensive flowers. They were also well-maintained, with neatly trimmed green grass around them.

The pedestrians on the road were bustling and crowded, rushing towards Yujingtai, looking like people fleeing from famine, and they were all vying for the first place.

All we can say is that everyone in Liyue is a follower of Geo King, and Liyue Harbor is full of people who are fascinated by Mora. They love the Emperor and they also love Mora.

If there is someone here who cares about his face and wants to save his image as a worshipper of the Emperor, he will probably retort that Mora was created by the Emperor, and loving his creation is also an expression of respect for the Emperor.

It was only under the leadership of Confucius that they were able to pass through the heavy guards of the Qianyan Army unimpeded, otherwise they would have been squeezed to the outermost edge.

On the Qingxiantai, there was a charming woman wearing a light yellow long skirt that reached her ankles. She pursed her red lips, looking gentle and peaceful, and there was a bit of the aura of a superior between her eyebrows, which made people dare not have any other thoughts.

In an open space only three meters away from the Qingxiantai, Confucius and the thirty students who followed him stood still with solemn expressions.

Su Ping glanced around and then looked away, because the six people closest to the fairy platform made him feel nervous.

It's not that he was guilty, but mainly because one of the six men was holding a spear, with some gray hair on his temples. His middle-aged face gave people the feeling of a sword being unsheathed, and looking into his eyes made one feel like a thorn in the back.

The remaining five people did not feel that the threat was great. Some smiled, some looked stern, and some looked calm and indifferent. Their expressions varied.

Zeng Xi half-knelt down and whispered in Su Ping's ear: "Those are the Seven Stars of Liyue. The one standing on the stage is Lord Tianquan, and the one holding the gun is Lord Kaiyang."

“Kaiyang Star, doesn’t that represent the existence of military force?” Su Ping’s eyes flashed. He had never seen this Seventh Star in the game. Of course, he thought it might be because he didn’t play enough.

After all, the location was designed with great difficulty, so at least it has to be shown, otherwise it would be a waste.

"Yes, Lord Kaiyangxing is also the commander of the Qianyan Army!" Zeng Xi's words contained a hint of yearning.

Come to think of it, what kind of man would not be interested in deploying troops, marching and fighting, and would not feel excited?

Su Ping glanced sideways at the people around him who were also watching from three feet away. Lord Li from the Shenglu Hall was also there, and there were seven other people standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

If you think about it again, it's just a lot of things.

On the Qingxiantai, Tianquan Star looked towards where Confucius was, nodded slightly with a smile, then looked up at the sky and the time, his expression became serious.

"The auspicious time has arrived." The Tianquan Star spoke, his voice clear but tender.

At the command, the three men embedded the jade stones in their hands into the incense burner on the altar.

Tassel-like golden light flowed out, and after stagnating for a moment, it went straight into the clouds, as if piercing the sky, forming a golden barrier belonging to the Rock King.

The barrier did not exist for long, and turned into a surging golden sea of ​​clouds, stretching across a thousand miles. At the very center, a vortex slowly emerged.

Amidst the whirlwind, a dragon head with two horns emerged. The moment it appeared, the crowd below was instantly excited. If the scene had not been serious, they would have screamed.

Boom boom!

The vortex of the sea of ​​clouds was spinning at a very fast speed, and in an instant, the dragon emerged from the clouds and mist, revealing its true face and body.

This dragon is not a complete dragon, but has some characteristics of a Qilin. It has a body hundreds of feet long, unparalleled majesty, and its five claws snapping, making sounds of breaking through the air.

Su Ping was a little stunned by the awe-inspiring power. This dragon was completely different from the one he saw in the game. At this moment, his heart was beating fast. He felt that the dragon in the game was like a dragon, not a real dragon.

"Welcome the Emperor!"

Tianquanxing bowed and the words he spoke were transmitted through the special device of Yujingtai and heard by everyone.

"Welcome the Emperor!"

The other five of the Liyue Seven Stars, the leaders of the Eight Gates, Master Kong and his students, as well as the Yuehai Pavilion staff and the onlookers, all bowed in obeisance.

Only Kaiyangxing, who was in charge of the Qianyan Army, and all the Qianyan Army soldiers present remained upright without bending their backs.

Their faces were solemn. They raised the spears in their hands and struck the ground with the butts of the spears, making a sound. They did it in perfect unison, not one was faster or slower.

This is the etiquette of the Qianyan Army, unique to them, and formulated by the Emperor himself. Anyone who joins the Qianyan Army does not have to bow when meeting immortals or gods, but only perform the gun-holding salute.

After this uniform sound, Kaiyangxing opened his mouth with all his strength, like the roar of thousands of troops, deafening.

"The soldiers of Qianyan Army are waiting for the emperor's arrival!"

The Thousand Rocks Army also shouted, with the same mighty and powerful voice, "We are waiting for the Emperor to come! We are waiting for the Emperor to come!"

This unique welcome further demonstrates the uniqueness of the Thousand Rocks Army and its commander, and also indirectly reflects how important the Thousand Rocks Army is.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Rock King Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Please stand up without further ado."

Everyone obeyed and stood up. Those businessmen who were trying to make a profit already had gleaming eyes and couldn't wait to know the direction of the market next year.

The Emperor of Rock King's eyes fell on Confucius and his party for a moment, then looked at the other people present, briefly passing by, and slowly said:

"Liyue is the most prosperous of the seven kingdoms, with contractual trade as its foundation. Merchants from Liyue are spread all over the continent of Teyvat, bringing goods to various countries and spreading the greatness of Liyue."

"But recently, someone seems to have said that in Liyue, there are only merchants who understand money transactions, and there is no literary and artistic spirit like other countries!"

"I am deeply saddened to think that the famous quotes from Liyue throughout history have been ignored by foreign countries. Perhaps it is because the trade is too prosperous that the literati's style of the past and present is overshadowed."

"In view of this, I have decided that this year will be a year of repetition in literature and art, and I will set a rule to promote the style of writing and calligraphy, and encourage vigorous creation to reproduce the style of previous years!"

"We will obey the emperor's command!" Tianquanxing bowed and led everyone to respond respectfully in unison.

Kaiyang Xing and his Thousand Rocks Army still held their guns and stomped on the ground, their bodies standing straight and tall. "We, the Thousand Rocks Army, swear to obey the Emperor's orders, lead the troops, and fear no danger!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Emperor Rock King turned around and rolled away, diving into the vast and surging sea of ​​clouds.

"Farewell to the Emperor!"

"Farewell to the Emperor!"

This time, Qianyan Army’s words were no different from those of everyone else. Perhaps it was in line with the old saying that things never happen more than three times.

Amid the farewell, until the figure of Rock King disappeared in the golden light, everything returned to silence, leaving only a few whispers of conversation.

"Reviving poetry and prose, how do you make money from this?"

"No, you are a tiger? Poems and essays have to be published, right? Invest in the publishing house and the author, isn't it obvious?"

"Yeah, then I have to go visit some people soon..."

In contrast, Su Ping's side was much quieter.

At this moment, the seven stars looked at each other and walked towards the direction where Confucius was...
