King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 57 The Shocked Walnut

"The 77th generation head of the Pastoral Hall, that's Hu Tao!" The girl with plum blossom eyes in front of her said with a lot of energy, playing with her spear.

"Bah, bang, bang!" Yi Yan couldn't help but clapped when he saw that Hutao could perform such difficult movements on the cliff.

However, under the girl's gaze, Yi Yan quickly gave up his weird idea. He scratched his head and said, "The Hall of Rebirth? A place I have never heard of."

"Is that true?" Hu Tao looked at Yu Hu's outfit that clearly did not fit Liyue's style, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.Finally, we can fully market the business of Shengshengtang!
"Then, this guest, would you like to try the service of the Rebirth Hall? Buy one, get one free?" Hutao jumped down from the rock and handed a small card to Yi Jin.

Yi Yan lowered his head and looked at it, which read: Special offer from the Hall of Purity, one-stop funeral service for only 200 million molas!Also buy one get one free!
Seeing the sales card that was obviously handwritten in front of him, the corners of Ember's mouth twitched.Not to mention whether he really needs this service, even if he does, he can't afford the money now.

"Sorry, I don't need this service." Yi Yan just looked at it for a while and then returned the promotion card to Hu Tao.

"Hey, hey, don't be so evasive. Even if you don't need it now, you will at least use it in the future." Hutao saw that Yu Yan had rejected the sales card he had been drawing for a long time, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Ember looked at Hu Tao who was restless in front of her eyes, and explained: "It's not to hide, but I really don't need it."

As Yu Undead Jhin, he couldn't even imagine how he would die in the future.So naturally, there is no need for the service of Xiangshengtang, which seems to have a lot of discounts.

But who would have thought that after hearing Ember's words, Hu Tao became extremely serious, and said with a straight face:

"This strange gentleman, birth, old age, illness and death, all phenomena in the world. Death is an order of the world. There is no need to be so shy. Sooner or later, this day will come."

"So let's keep it."

After saying that, Hutao smiled again and tried to push the card in his hand back to Ember.

"Okay, I really convinced you." Ember couldn't resist Hu Tao's enthusiasm, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After seeing Yan Yan accept his promotional card, Hu Tao's happiness level obviously went up to a new level.This is the first promotional card she has sent out!
But soon she calmed down, Hu Tao looked at Xiao Jiujiu who was hiding behind Ember, and said:
"But even if you accept my promotional card, I still can't let you take this little guy back to Qingce Village!"

Xiao Jiujiu shrank even more when he heard this, and his whole body was hugged on Yu Yan's thigh.

Ember touched Xiao Jiujiu's head, and asked Hu Tao: "Why? Give me a reason."

Hutao saw that the two of them were obviously not going to give up, so her expression became solemn, and she explained:

"Yin and Yang are orderly and fate is unpredictable. Death is unpredictable but has its rules. Remember, no matter when, where, or for whatever reason, people should not easily provoke the ritual of death. Only by knowing him and respecting him can we understand The value of living.”

Then, she looked at Xiao Jiujiu holding her thigh behind Yu Yan, shook her head and said, "Besides, the girl behind you has been dead for more than ten years, and everything about her should have been forgotten."

"Even if we really go back, there will be no good results if people and ghosts follow different paths."

Yeah?Yi Yan nodded after listening to Hu Tao's words, and then said calmly: "I very much agree with what you said, but you should understand that there are many dangers in this world."

Hu Tao nodded suspiciously when she heard this. It was obvious that what was discussed just now was a matter of life and death, but now it has slipped to the level of talking about the dangers of this world, although this world is indeed very dangerous.

"Let's not talk about people who died due to other accidents, but what if there is a ghost who was murdered by others and has obsessions?"

"Do you want to persuade him to be more generous? Forgive the murderer? Probably not."

Hu Tao lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "If his obsession really turns into a ghost, we will send him to cross and bring the murderer to justice at the same time!"

"That means the taboo between life and death cannot be broken?" Ember asked.

"Well, no matter what, life and death are determined, and the boundaries between life and death cannot be confused." Hutao nodded, seeming to confirm his thoughts.

"That's good, I'm looking forward to the war between you and the fools in the Hall of Rebirth." Ember said something unclear.

"???" Hu Tao was confused. Although the Fools' reputation was well known to every household, they had no conflict with the Rebirth Hall, so why fight?

"Haha, don't you understand?" Yi Yan looked at the circled walnut and explained:
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are all phenomena in the world. This sentence is very correct. But the fools seem to be a little bit sniffy."

"Let's talk about their soldiers first. They all wear evil eyes. They are thankful to God if they can live for more than forty years. Is this considered a blur of life?"

"When talking about their executive officer, let's talk about Mondstadt's lady. She is a real human being, but she has lived for more than 500 years."

"There is also the Doctor further away. He has cut himself into parts in various timelines. As long as he can continue to cut himself, immortality is not impossible."

"Since you have been passed down to the Rebirth Hall for 77 generations, you should give us information about other executives. They must have lived as humans for hundreds of years."

"Why don't you go find them for burial? Logically speaking, they should be 'dead'?"

At this point, Hu Tao has fallen into deep doubt and contemplation.Seeing this, Ember added:
"Since the boundaries of life can be blurred, there is no reason that the boundaries of death cannot. Life and death should be equal and relative. It is a bit biased to only focus on death and not care about life, Hall Master Hu."

After Ember finished speaking, she quietly waited for Hu Tao with her arms folded, and touched Xiao Jiujiu's head with glowing eyes from time to time.

"Life and death are equal and relative?"

"Can't we just look at death and disregard life?"

Walnut repeated Ember's words, doubts filling her chest.Now she just wants to go back to the Hall of Purity and ask Mr. Zhongli what to do about this.

Seeing that the plum blossoms in Hu Tao's eyes were about to shrivel, Ember felt that things were getting worse, so he hurriedly said:

"Master Hu, I was just joking, don't take it to heart. You guys have done a good job in the Hall of Rebirth, but I'm just an adventurer, and what I say doesn't count."

Fuck it, I just touched on the topic of life and death, plus he saw that Hu Tao is a bit special, nonsense, can someone who maintains the boundary between life and death not be special?So the speaking room entered the state.

I didn't expect to kill walnut all of a sudden, out of self-doubt.What a sin, Ember silently slapped herself a few times in her heart, she shouldn't have said too much.

"Pfft--" Unexpectedly, Hutao burst into laughter when he saw Huan Yan dancing like this.

In the final analysis, she is a quirky girl. It is hard to have doubts, but it is good to find time to solve them. She is not the kind of person who sticks to the horns.

"Senior, do you dare to ask your name? Can you come to our Pastoral Hall to be a guest servant, with food and lodging included, and the treatment is generous!" After Hu Tao recovered, the first thing he did was to recruit Ember into the group, which even Ember himself did not think of.

What Yu Jin said just now directly raised his status in Hu Tao's heart to a height that was only a little bit worse than that of Mr. Zhong Li.

"Ember, as for the Hall of Rebirth, forget it." Ember thought for a moment. Although what Hu Tao said made him moved, but thinking of his restless temper, Ember still refused.

"Oh~, that's it." Hu Tao felt a little disappointed. Yi Yan was definitely a great person, and she was a little unwilling to be unable to pull him into the Hall of Rebirth.

But soon Hutao's attention returned to Xiao Jiujiu. She looked at Yu Ember and asked:

"Mr. Ember, what you said is very reasonable, but humans and ghosts are really different ways, and taking them back will only add to the sadness."

She wondered what to do with Ember.

After listening to Hu Tao's words, Yi Yan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Jiujiu, this sister just said that you have been dead for more than ten years. I have a way to let you go back. Do you think so?"

After listening to Yu Yan's words, Xiao Jiujiu's chubby little face showed a tangled look.

When Ember saw her, he patted her head and said, "If there is no one you know well, I can adopt you."

"Yes! I want to go back and have a look!" Xiao Jiujiu immediately stopped worrying after hearing this. She was jumping on the spot, very excited.

"Really?" Yi Yan also smiled, then he turned to look at Hu Tao and said:
"Do you know why the foolish executives can break the boundaries of life so easily?"

"I don't know." Hu Tao shook her head, she knew very little about the executive officer.

"Because standing behind them is a god."
