The morning breeze blew into the room with a comfortable temperature, fluttering the gauze curtains on the window, and Hu Tao's own hair was also blown up.
But she didn't move at all, she was still staring at Ling's face, but the thoughtful look on her face disappeared at some point.
He looked like he was in a daze.
Under the illumination of the morning sun, the boy's already fair and delicate skin seemed to be transparent on the white quilt. His long hair lay casually on the mattress. His unprotected sleeping face, his delicate and beautiful eyebrows seemed to have been carefully carved, because Because Hu Tao sat up on his own, the quilt covering them had faded to his waist, and the boy's thin clothes had also moved up in the folds, revealing his white and slender waist.
When the wind blew, a few silver hairs hung on his face. The young man seemed to be awakened by the itching on his face. His long and dense eyelashes trembled a few times, but they soon returned to calm.
For a long time, Hutao, who was in a daze, suddenly puffed up his cheeks - why is a big man so good-looking? !What a waste!
Thinking of this, Hu Tao suddenly pushed aside the quilt, then very quickly rode on Ling's waist, leaned over and grabbed his face and shouted: "Wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!"
Opening his eyes, his amethyst-clear eyes looked at Hu Tao who was riding on him with a little helplessness.
Hu Tao said with a smile: "Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy. I am caring about you~"
"..." As he stood up, he grabbed Hu Tao's slim waist with both hands, lifted her aside and put her down.
Ling scratched his messy hair and looked outside at the blue sky and flawless white clouds.
"It's a beautiful day," he said.
Hu Tao came over and hugged his shoulders, acting like two good brothers: "That's right, today is the day when I will take over the position of No. 70, the seventh generation master of the Rebirth Hall. Of course, God will provide for it!"
Ling smiled lightly but said nothing.
......
Just as Hu Tao said, today is the day she takes over as the leader of the Rebirth Hall.
The ceremony was not grand, but it was grand. Not only all the staff of the Rebirth Hall were present to witness it, but also many people from Liyue came to watch the ceremony.
For most people, it is a bit uneasy for Hutao, a 13-year-old girl, to take over as the hall leader.
After all, Hutao's name has long been spread throughout Liyue Port. Everyone who has heard of her associates her image with naughty nonsense. Now that she has taken over the reincarnation hall that handles most of the funeral matters in Liyue, how can she be called Can people not worry?
When it comes to funerals, they are always associated with solemnity and sadness, but these words always make people feel a little awkward when applied to Hu Tao... Although many people have seen Hu Tao at Mr. Hu's funeral, after all, that is Her grandfather, the death of a relative is always different from others.
However, although people, even the stewards and guests working at the Purity Hall, had various worries, they could not change the fact that Hu Tao became the official seventh-generation master of the Purity Hall No. 70...
The work of the hall master is busy, at least when the hall master was Mr. Hu, it was true.
But when I arrived at Hutao, it was completely different.
Although Hutao became the leader of the hall, day by day, unless there were funeral matters or special events related to the soul that she needed to deal with, the rest of the time, she was basically still the same as before, walking around with her spirit. play.
But everyone's impression of her, the No. 70 seventh-generation hall master, has greatly changed. As for the reason, it is naturally because Hu Tao, who is usually lively and naughty, seems to be a different person every time she presides over a funeral.
The solemnity, solemnity, and various complicated procedures are extremely familiar. Even the most demanding people cannot fault the walnuts at the funeral.
As the days passed, the Hall of Purity had completely emerged from the shadow of Mr. Hu's death, just as the rain that night continued and the wind and sunshine were beautiful the next day.
......
The embassy of fools in Liyue.
The blue-haired young man wearing a half-face mask carried it on his back with one hand, and in the other hand he was looking at a slightly blurry photo taken with a camera.
The background of the photo is a lively rally. At the rally, the silver-haired boy is walking in a certain direction with a candied haws in his hand, his hand being held by a girl.
Dotore ignored the lively gathering and the girl, and stared directly at the young man's face.
After a long while, he chuckled: "I found it..."
Behind him, several members of the Fools lowered their heads and were too afraid to respond.
It was Dotore who turned around, looked at one person and asked, "Tell me specifically what happened."
Seeing Mr. [Doctor] turn his attention to himself, the fool's body trembled, and then he spoke with a trembling voice: "Sir... we know that we have made a big mistake, but... but that day we were transporting Mr. [The Deceased] When we were trying to save our body, we were attacked by monsters. We were no match at all. Many people died fighting to protect the body of Lord [Decedent]... But the [Ice Coffin] was eventually knocked away by the monsters and taken away by those monsters. [Decedent] We searched for the body of the Lord day and night for a long time, but in the end we only found the corpses of those monsters in the wilderness, but the body of the [deceased] Lord was nowhere to be found..."
Dotore exhaled through his nose and said calmly: "Then until last month, you accidentally heard someone talking about the current leader of the [Palace of Rebirth]. There was always a young man with silver hair and unusually handsome appearance... It was suspected that the body of that person was Nenox who woke up early, and then we launched an investigation..."
"The efficiency of the operation is too slow." There was no emotion or anger in his voice, but the fools were trembling with fear, and their faces were instantly covered with cold sweat.
Suddenly, the doctor laughed and said to them: "I'll give you a chance to make amends for your past mistakes... no, it's a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds."
Upon hearing this, a spark of hope suddenly burst out in the eyes of several people who were already desperate.
The person who was questioned before said quickly: "No matter what you command, we will fight to the death, no matter how hard it is!"
"There is no need for a mountain of swords and a sea of fire." Dotore smiled lightly and said: "The task is very simple. Bring back the one you lost."
Everyone looked at each other and finally responded in unison: "Yes!"
Chapter 171 Walnut Legend Mission (7)
Under the deep night, in the crackling sound, the flames leapt and turned the sacrifices of the deceased into blue smoke, and sent them to the all-embracing high sky.
Hu Tao stood in front of the fire, her pretty little face reddened by the flames, her beautiful eyes lightly closed, her delicate white hands clasped together, chanting something in her mouth, and sending the deceased to death respectfully.
Ling sat on a big tree not far away, quietly watching this accustomed scene.
rustle……
The sound of footsteps on the grass broke the solemn atmosphere that the ceremony should have.
A dozen figures wearing the corresponding costumes of the different units of the Fools stood in the middle of the big tree where Hutao and Ling were.
"Hey -" Youyou sighed, with eyes closed, Hutao made a sign of death in front of the fire.Then he opened his eyes and turned to look at the group of fools.
She sighed: "I only deal with dead people in the Rebirth Hall. Could it be that some of your family members also lost their lives?"
The fools didn't respond, but a few of them scattered around, vaguely showing the posture of surrounding the walnuts, while others were facing the spirit frowning lightly on the tree.
The leader saluted him respectfully: "We are here to welcome you back to the Fools. It was because of our mistakes a year and a half ago that you ended up here. Please forgive us for our mistakes and give us a chance to make up for our mistakes. Please come back." You fools..."
As soon as these words came out, not only the spirit on the tree was confused, but Hutao was also confused.
But if you listen carefully, you can seem to hear something.
It seems... related to the origin of spirits?Hutao said impatiently: "Wait a minute, that guy over there, you said 'return'? Could it be that Ling was a member of your Fools before he lost his memory?"
"Of course!" The leader of the Fools glanced back at Hu Tao, and then looked up at Lingdao respectfully: "Even among the Fools, you are an extremely special and important person."
"..." Ling looked at him and remained silent.
But it was Hutao over there who spoke up first: "What they said seems to be true. Do you want to go to the Fools and see if I can help you retrieve your past memories?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, the current leader of the Rebirth Hall who thought it would be resistance actually spoke for him and others. The leading fools looked at Ling expectantly, waiting for his answer. If the task of making up for the past can be completed so easily, then of course it is Nothing could be better.
But what made him even more unexpected was that Ling actually shook his head after pondering for a few seconds: "Forget it, when I dreamed before, I seemed to have dreamed about some memories from the past, but those didn't seem to be good memories. It doesn’t matter if you forget.”
After speaking, he glanced at these fools and said politely: "As for you saying that I used to be one of you... forget it, I am living a good life now, you can just think of me as quitting. .”
Ling's words made everyone in the Fools' crowd look at each other in astonishment. Finally, the leader bit the bullet and said to Ling: "Sir... please don't embarrass us. Your status in the Fools' crowd is special. It's not what you said. You can exit as soon as you exit..."
Ling rested his palms on the branches under him, tilted his head and looked confused: "I know that the reputation of the Fools is very bad. Everyone says that the Fools are a group of bad people, but it should not be forced to be forced by others. To the extent of working for you, right? Or do I not know enough?"
"..." Silence spread.
After a moment, the leader gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, you must return to the Fools. This is the Queen's order!"
"Queen?" Suddenly, Hutao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Is she the ice god of your winter solstice?"
The sound of her voice attracted everyone's attention, and the reason was not just because of the content of her words, but also because of the location where the sound came from - Hu Tao was holding her arms and leaning against Ling at some point. On the big tree...
The fools facing the direction of the big tree hurriedly turned around, only to see that the few guys surrounding Hutao had fallen to the ground. Judging from the stars in their eyes, they had obviously fainted.
Hu Taohun continued nonchalantly: "But even gods can't rob people. Ling said he didn't want to go to the Foolish People, so he is from my Rebirth Hall. The Rebirth Hall is Liyue's Rebirth Hall, so he is from Liyue. , you have the Ice Queen in Winter, and we in Liyue also have the Rock King Emperor. Why don't you go back and ask your Queen and Emperor to ask if he can give you his people, and wait until the Emperor agrees. "
Even though little girls like Xun Ran and Hu Tao were able to knock out several Fool soldiers instantly and silently, the remaining Fool soldiers were still more concerned about their mission. After all, if the mission failed... they would probably die miserably. Bar……
"Please don't embarrass us, sir. We have been given a death mission from above. If you don't come back, we will be cut into pieces!" The leading fool begged.
Ling frowned: "If you say so, the Fools are really a terrible organization, so I can't go... As for you saying that if I don't go, you will be killed - just like what you met on the street A beggar grabs the hem of your clothes and begs you to give him all your possessions, otherwise he will starve to death... Is this considered moral kidnapping?"
After saying that, he chuckled: "I don't know you, and you have no kindness to me. You are not worthy of my own personal safety to save, so, I'm sorry, I can't go with you."
"...Is your lord so heartless? In order to escort your body, our company killed dozens of soldiers..." The fool looked at Ling with red eyes. They didn't know whether it was caused by anger or because of the war in his mouth. Sad for dead soldiers.
"..." Ling's brows moved, but before he could speak, Hu Tao said: "It's just empty talk, who knows if it's true. Everyone in Liyue knows that you fools have a reputation for doing whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Who knows if you are just saying this to deceive the spirit?"
After saying that, she spread her hands: "Besides, even if what you said is true, it is still considered moral kidnapping~"
The people in the fool crowd did not look at Hu Tao, but looked at Ling waiting for his answer - or the final judgment.
Ling was silent for a long time and sighed: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Hey!" Hutao quickly looked up at Ling.
"But there are two conditions." Ling added.
After hearing this, the fools were overjoyed, and the leader hurriedly said: "Sir, please speak!"
"First, I will only go with you to your embassy in Liyue once. Second, I need Qianyanjun to accompany me to ensure my personal safety." Ling said.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other again.
After a brief exchange of words in low voices, the leader finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay!"
After saying that, he and everyone behind him bowed at the same time——
"Please come with us, sir."
After a pause, Ling still jumped down from the tree, but before she could take a step, she was pulled by Hu Tao. She looked into Ling's eyes anxiously: "If you really want to follow them, these guys who are not afraid of fools will not With good intentions?"
"...They said that someone died in the battle to protect me. I don't think it's a lie. I want to go and see it. Anyway, they promised that they can call on the Qianyan Army to join them. This is in Liyue, so it shouldn't be There will be danger, and besides - I don’t want anyone to die because of me." Ling said calmly and straightforwardly.
Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then felt helpless: "You really repay your kindness... Forget it, I'll go with you. At worst, if something goes wrong then, I will rescue you."
"...Thank you." Ling smiled at her.
Chapter 172 Walnut Legend Mission (8)
"Well, good, the report on the maintenance work of the venue has been submitted."
"Updates of training equipment are also being prepared."
"Okay, please also step up the patrols in Liyue Port recently. The Fools have been moving a lot today..."
In the General Affairs Department of Liyue, a girl with long icy blue hair shawl and a pair of unicorn horns was holding a notebook and recording something.
Soon, she put away her pen, closed her book, and said goodbye to the person in charge of the General Affairs Department who was on duty today: "Please keep working hard, goodbye."
