Yuanshin: Before I was buried by Walnut, I opened the coffin and got up

As Hu Tao said, he rushed out in a hurry to get his big sword.

Although it was getting late at this time, it was not yet dark.

There was a constant sound of "bang bang" knocking in the blacksmith shop, and thick black smoke floated down the chimney into the sky.

There are some simple standard weapons outside the blacksmith shop, whether it is swords, swords, halberds or bows and arrows, everything is available.

Hu Tao walked over these weapons directly into the blacksmith's shop, and suddenly, a wave of heat hit his face.

She looked around for a while, and shouted with her hands in the shape of a trumpet, "Lao Zhang, is my sword ready?"

Old Zhang, a blacksmith who was forging iron, heard the voice coming out of the room, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

"It's Walnut! Your sword has already been ready."

Lao Zhang picked up the big sword from the weapon rack beside him and handed it to Hu Tao.

The great sword that had been eroded by wind and rain had returned to its original appearance at this moment, and the sharp tip of the sword shone with a cold light.

Hu Tao grasped the hilt of the sword, and the feeling when he grasped the sword for the first time came back.

Probably because the sword has been repaired, the feeling is a little stronger than before.

Walnut caressed the smooth blade. After removing the rusty outer shell, the sword was quite beautiful at the moment.

The whole body of the sword is blue, with dark blue patterns engraved on it.

And it's quite big, wider than a normal big sword by more than a punch.

"This sword is excellent both in terms of material and forging techniques. It is a rare and good sword!" Lao Zhang highly praised it.

Chapter 82 The Sleeping Soul

"I found it on the Guyun Pavilion, and I don't know why such a good sword is stuck in the Guyun Pavilion..."

"It's really a miracle that it was inserted on the Guyun Pavilion." The blacksmith Lao Zhang also expressed his incomprehension.

Such a good sword can be regarded as a family heirloom of ordinary people, but it was placed on the Guyun Pavilion at will, and rust was allowed to cover the sword body.

It's hard to imagine what a luxury this is.

"Molla here, I'll go first."

After paying Mo La, Hu Tao went straight back to the Hall of Rebirth.

She was going to let Zhongli see the mystery of this sword.

"Hey, old man, I'm here again! Did you miss me!"

Hu Tao appeared in the yard out of thin air, Zhong Li was no stranger to this.

"Why are you looking for me?" Zhongli calmly put down the cup.

Hu Tao came over with a smile and sat down on the original seat, "Can't I come to find you if I have nothing to do?"

"The hall master always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Walnut puffed up her cheeks and snorted.

"You're slandering me! I came all the way back and came to see you right away! You still don't miss me..."

"Hehe..." Zhong Li smiled without saying a word.

When dealing with Hu Tao, the more she follows her will, the more powerful she will be.

Over the years, he has summed up experience.

Sure enough, he immediately changed the subject, took out a big sword and put it on the table.

"Look, old man, is it what I think."

Hu Tao tapped the stone table with her fingers, and looked at Zhongli with bright eyes.

The little ghost emerged from her body and hugged her head, only the eyes were exposed, blinking and looking at Zhongli.

Zhong Li looked at the big sword in front of him, stretched out his hand to lightly touch the blade, and then nodded.

"Indeed, as Hall Master you think, there is a sleeping soul in this sword."

His fingertips caressed the sword, and golden light slowly emerged from his fingertips, condensing an illusory figure whose specific appearance was not clear. The lower body of this figure was illusory, with his hands open, as if embracing the sky.

"This soul has existed for a long time and is now very weak."

As for the fact that there is a soul in the sword, Walnut felt it from the very beginning, but the feeling was too faint, like an illusion.

Later, after taking the sword from Lao Zhang and starting again, the feeling became a little clearer.

After Zhong Li did this, he directly revealed the soul inside.

Looking at this figure, Hu Tao blinked his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why is his soul in the sword? Logically speaking, wouldn't a person go directly to [Boundary] after death? Wouldn't it be like him?"

[Boundary] refers to the boundary between life and death.

Yang and Yin belong to two worlds, which do not interfere with each other and balance each other.

After Liyue's death, the soul will follow the earth to the boundary, enter the underworld that belongs to the soul, and after a series of purification, reincarnate into a pure and innocent baby.

Of course, there are also some obsessed people who will stay at the border, waiting for someone or some news.

But the perception of people who stay at the border will gradually become dull, and they only remember their own obsessions.

As for staying in the world, it needs some chance and coincidence.

It may be that the time of death happens to be cloudy, the moon is cloudy, and the sun is cloudy, and the separated soul retains consciousness; or it happens to carry a magic weapon that can store the soul; or the soul cannot reach the boundary at the place of death.. ....

Although rare, they do exist.

Every time such an incident occurs, it is something she needs to deal with.

"Probably because of obsession!" Zhong Li looked at the illusory figure that emerged from the sword, and he kept embracing the sky.

Before he died, he may have maintained this posture, which may also be his obsession.

If the soul does not go to the border, it will gradually forget the memory of the past and become a lonely ghost wandering around aimlessly.

Some are harmless to people, but some with deep obsessions will become evil spirits.

Evil ghosts will unconsciously attack the people they meet, causing them to be haunted by nightmares, Yang Qi exhaustion, impotence, and long-term infestation by evil ghosts may even lead to death.

This person's soul should have entered the sword after his death by some kind of coincidence, but he has been sleeping since then.

It's just that with the passage of time, the sun's rays and the wind and rain, this sleeping soul is getting thinner and thinner. If it is discovered later, it may all dissipate.

"Let's put it in the ancestral hall to nourish the soul first!"

"Okay." Hu Tao nodded and put away the sword.

Hu Tao came to the ancestral hall of the Hall of Rebirth. All the tablets of the previous hall masters were placed in the ancestral hall, from the first to No. 70, and they were full and neat.

Hu Tao put the sword on the shelf and took out three incense sticks.

This incense for nourishing the spirit is not an ordinary thing. The function of nourishing the spirit and soul alone is worth a thousand gold, not to mention that it is a special incense for the ceremony of inviting immortals.

The extra materials are hard to find, and the price is high, and there are few people who can make them. As a result, the value has doubled now, and it is impossible to buy it.

It's just that the incense in her hand is self-produced and sold by Xiangshengtang, so it's not that precious to her.

She rubbed a flame between her fingers, lit the incense, bowed respectfully to the tablet, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The incense burns slowly, wisps of thin white smoke diffuse in the air, and the elegant orchid-like fragrance dissipates in the air, making people feel at ease.

A few wisps of white smoke cling to the sword body, enveloping the sword body, and nourishing the weak soul inside.

According to this posture, the soul will be able to recover a lot by this time tomorrow.

Walnut left with confidence.

The sun had already set outside the house at this time, but it was not completely dark yet.

The dark blue sky shrouded overhead, and faint stars could be seen.

The moon has already poked its head out from the clouds, emitting a bright light.

"When the sun comes out, I bask in the sun; when the moon comes out, I bask in the moon~"

Walnut sang and stretched.

Tomorrow I have to find Grandma Ping to make utensils, so I have to rest well today.

......

The moon slowly moved to the center, and then slowly fell.

The Northland Bank was as quiet as ever.

The gatekeeper dutifully stood in front of the gate, paying attention to the wind and grass around him.

As the largest bank in Liyue Port, Beiguo Bank does not belong to Liyue.

It belongs to the ninth [rich man] of the [Fools] executive officer of the Winter Kingdom.

Being able to establish such a large bank in Liyue as a foreigner shows the ability of this executive.

However, just recently, Ye Lan, an intelligence officer affiliated with Tianquan Xingguang, got a little bit of his details.

It turned out that the famous executive officer of Zhidong people was not Zhidong people, but a native of Liyue people.

As for why he became the executive officer of the violent organization [Fools] in the Winter Kingdom, it is unknown.

Chapter 83 Confrontation

At this time, the [Rich Man] wearing a black cloak was sitting in the Beiguo Bank, playing with a jade bracelet in his hand.

He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The sides of the glasses are connected by two metal chains studded with precious stones. His slightly long hair is tied into a side ponytail and casually sideways. The whole person looks refined and refined. Can't tell that this is the executive [rich man] who dominates the business world.

His normally squinted eyes slightly opened, looking at the bracelet in his hand.

This is the spoil he captured after his confrontation with that condensed subordinate.

"What if I know my identity? The information itself is not of much value..."

He casually threw the bracelet on the table and walked to the window.

The cold moonlight shone on his face, and he looked down at the Liyue Harbor under his feet, with indistinct emotions lurking in his narrowed eyes.

"A contract has never been used in more than one way..."

He whispered, but the words were quickly blown away by the wind.

.....

In a hidden cave in Tianheng Mountain.

Several shirtless men are moving the goods one by one.

This cave is quite large, the inside is dry, and is covered by bushes and vines. It has natural concealment and is the best choice for storing goods.

Some of the high-value goods shipped from Winter Solstice will be stored here first, and then hidden among those with low tariffs.

Then the people they placed in the Qianyan Army cooperated to avoid the meticulous screening and sneak into Liyue Port.

In this way, only a small part of the original high tariff needs to be paid, and the cost is greatly reduced.

And such a hidden business route is in the hands of the executive officer [rich man] of fools.

What these fools are carrying at this moment is the goods that are ready to be sent to Zhidong from Liyue Port.

This batch of goods is quite precious, and one of them is a gift carefully prepared by [the rich man] for the Queen of Winter.

There are naturally many guards in such a place.

A group of well-equipped fool soldiers scattered around the cave, patrolling vigilantly.

A young man driving a car boredly sat in the carriage and yawned, looking drowsy.

Under the cover of yawning, he observed the defenses inside without any trace.

It can be seen that the rich attach great importance to this place, and they have arranged a whole team of fools.

Moreover, these fool soldiers are well-equipped, strictly disciplined, and their own attributes can also cooperate with each other. It is really difficult for ordinary people to win.

Not only is this group of fools a threat, but so are those who carry the goods.

All the people in Zhidong Kingdom are soldiers, and these people can also take up weapons when necessary, and their combat power is not bad.
