In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Important things are repeated three times.

Then, under the action of Xianli, his soul and body began to separate.

As Zhenjun Liuyun borrowed the wind said, the short-term second separation encountered more difficulties, and there was always a feeling of being firmly bound by the body...

The body does not want to let go, as if once let go, the soul will never come back.

But in the end, he still failed to win Xia Tian's will to wake up Walnut.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The place where life and death meet is an illusory place like a secret realm. Someone once speculated that from here you can lead to the core of the earth veins.

Everything that happened on the Tivat continent will be recorded in the leylines.

For the earth veins, people and things are just the data it produced. When some data is worn out, it will be taken back and recast, which is the so-called reincarnation.

I don't know whether it is true or not, but the soul does exist, and the place where life and death meet does exist, so it makes sense to believe in the existence of reincarnation, right?

In this way, countless sincere vows have been born, between friends, relatives, lovers... from a lifetime agreement to a lifetime entrustment.

Or some ambiguous agreement between lovers and friends.

Separating from the sea of ​​consciousness of Emon Loka, Hu Tao's soul was drowsy, and returned to his homeland along with the wind called "Styx".

Originally, I wanted to stay on Wuwangpo for a while, but I really didn't have the strength, so I could only let the "Styx" manipulate me and send me to the border between life and death.

Here, no matter how tired the soul is, it will be healed as if it were reborn... Then, those who have left their last wishes are trapped here, or those who have left the mortal world will enter the afterlife.

"Well... I overslept this time, why did I come in directly?"

Hu Tao recovers from weakness, looking at the bright surroundings, she has no consciousness of being a dead soul at all.

As a ferryman to the past, she often breaks through the barrier between Yin and Yang to come to the place where life and death meet, but this time she does not have a physical body waiting outside, and it may be very troublesome to go out...

"Damn! He must not know how to come in and find me..."

Hu Tao was sober and slapped his head straight. His strange appearance attracted many "souls" to watch.

Once most souls enter the place where life and death meet, it means that their wish has been fulfilled, and they just go to reincarnation in a hurry, but there are also a small number of people who come in by accident, and then they are reluctant to forget the agreement, and they will be alone for decades.

Walnut has been here a few times and made some soul friends.

They also knew that only those troublesome souls would be personally escorted here by Hu Tao.

Then someone asked: "My lord, why are you here? Are you sending some troublesome guy on the road again?"

The one who spoke was a gentle-looking elder sister named Lan Xi.

Said that I have been waiting for someone for an unknown number of years, and I even forgot the name of that person...

Hu Tao was greatly moved by this persistent intention, and she volunteered to help her find the heartbroken man... But, she doesn't even know the name, so how can someone go to find him?

Therefore, Hu Tao was not discouraged, and occasionally came to chat with Lan Xi, hoping to help her remember the waiting agreement.

Chatting and chatting, it can be regarded as the year-end friendship separated by yin and yang.

In front of his friends, Hu Tao's hall master couldn't hold back his face, scratched his head and said in shame: "Well, didn't you escort someone over this time..."

Why is it my style to be twitchy?Hu Tao gritted her teeth, and said calmly: "I died just like you."

In the past, she came here in a state of soul, no different from her current appearance, and she couldn't tell whether it was the truth or a joke just from the outside.

Lan Xi's eyes widened, not quite believing: "You... are dead?"

The death of the hall master of the Rebirth Hall should not be a small matter for their "soul world"... If a new and stricter hall master is appointed, they may forcefully send these lingering souls to reincarnation.

"I didn't lie to you, how could my hall master make fun of "death"? "Walnut said seriously.

Although Chang Chang talked about the word "death", he never joked about it.

For her, death is a very solemn thing, and Hu Tao hopes to make it easier, but it is definitely not casual.

"..." Lan Xi remained silent.

She is considered an "old man" in a place where life and death meet. She has seen too many souls in a hurry. Every time such a girl who has not yet enjoyed her youth passes by, she will sigh in her heart.

And Hu Tao is really a lovely and enthusiastic girl, who should have a happier and more perfect life.

What had happened... that made her die?

Without careful questioning, everyone's death will probably not be a happy thing!

Lan Xi pointed to the platform extending over there: "Then, do you want to prepare for reincarnation?"

Just jumping off the platform means completely forgetting all the past in this life and ushering in a brand new life.

"emmmmmm..." Walnut hesitated.

So open-minded, she actually hesitated!This aroused Lanxi's interest: "Why do you hesitate about Hutao, who is so magnanimous in life and death?"

"I didn't hesitate!" Hu Tao looked back and muttered, "I'm worried that someone will come looking for me. If he can't find me, he will be very sad..."

If Xia Tian didn't come, it would be very difficult to go back to the yang world to find the body... and after a long time, the body didn't know what it was like.

If the vitality is cut off, even if the soul returns, it will be useless...

People's memory and character will wear out with the years, and the same is true for the soul.

Lan Xi had waited for too long and had no emotion, but she was quite concerned about the matter of Hu Tao.

She covered her lips with a smile, and joked, "Who is it? Could it be Hu Tao's husband?"

Hu Tao stretched out her hands, put her toes on her toes, and spun around: "Can you see a little bit of being a bride from me?"

She refuted it, but didn't refute it completely, as if she didn't hate that person becoming her husband.

Lan Xi's heart of gossip, which had been dormant for decades, seemed to be revived, and he laughed: "Hehe, is that the person Hutao likes?"

"Hmm—" Hu Tao stopped.

When I was in a daze, I seemed to want to say that I liked him, but now that I am awake, I don’t seem to like him that much... Could it be that I feel that I am going to die, so I want to find someone to confess to?

Unable to understand, Hu Tao asked, "How do you like it?"

Such a sentimental question is very suitable for her age.

Lan Xi was happy to answer, but because she didn't have enough eloquence, she had to ask back: "Does Hu Tao know what it's like to like? Don't you have any objects or things you like?"

Hu Tao rubbed her chin, thinking seriously: "I like singing, I like writing poems... But what does it feel like to like someone?"

Lan Xi asked again: "Are you happy when you are singing and writing poems?"

"Of course." Hu Tao nodded affirmatively. She is a representative figure of the alley school's dark limerick poets.

Lan Xi stretched out her finger and lifted Hu Tao's frown away: "Then if you are with that person, even if you don't do anything, you will be as happy as writing poems or singing, so naturally you like it."

Are you that happy with him?Hu Tao won't be able to come up with an answer for a while, so let's call it that.

Lan Xi smiled brightly: "It's great, Hu Tao has someone he likes!"

Hu Tao, who is careless, admits it openly, but still has to haggle over some issues.

For example: "What do you mean, you make it sound like the hall master is heartless...I'm also a girl! I'm still a beautiful girl with an upright youthful appearance. Isn't it strange that there is someone I like?"

"Hehe, of course it's not surprising... Let me guess, who is the lucky young master who can capture our Hall Master Hu's admiration?"

Lan Xi began to guess: "Is it the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

A few times earlier, when I was chatting with Hu Tao, I mentioned that the second young master said that his calligraphy was extremely bad, but the story he wrote was good, and the two hit it off, and they made some kind of combination...

Hu Tao denied it categorically, shaking her hands with disgust on her face: "Xingqiu? He's more like a girl, right? I've always treated him like a sister..."

Then, the inexplicable girl showed off her heart:

"My ideal person is the hero who saved Liyue Port!"

"He's so tall, I can't even reach his raised hand when I jump..."

"Very strong, you can hold me and walk a long, long way..."

"Very gentle, no matter how much I go too far, he will forgive me..."

"In terms of appearance, he is also the only one who is worthy of this hall master!"

"..."

Listening to Hu Tao's praise to the person he admired, Lan Xi became more and more suspicious, does "he" really exist?

Liyue Port has the Rock King Emperor sitting in the town, who else needs to save it?

Looking at the other points, it can only be shown that Walnut is too short, too small, and messy enough to make people lazy...

Lan Xi smiled and shook his head, jokingly said, "Excuse me, will your fictional lover really come to you?"

"What is fictional!" Hu Tao puffed up her cheeks, dissatisfied that Xia Tian was misunderstood like this.

She patted her chest and promised: "Of course he will come to me, it's an agreed upon thing!"

He said so on the lips, but he whispered in his heart.

Did you really have a good agreement with him?

I was in a daze at the time, did I really speak out?

That guy doesn't really think I'm dead, does he?Wouldn't you have cremated me already?

Thinking about it this way, I feel quite at a loss.

Lan Xi was still fanning the flames: "This is not a place where ordinary people can come! Are you sure you agreed to let him come here to pick you up? Have you taught him how to do it?"

Apparently, walnuts are not yet ripe for thoughtful consideration.

"No..." She was a little unconfident when asked: "You said, will he really come?"

The soul has no substance, but there is a certain perception between souls that can go beyond touch.

Lan Xi stretched out her hand, lovingly stroking Walnut's long dark brown hair.

For so many years, few people have been able to wait for the promised person... And Hu Tao, who is still at such an innocent age, thinks about waiting for decades like herself, it is really unbearable.

He wanted to persuade him not to wait, but finally changed his words: "Well, it will definitely come."

The tone was a bit melancholy, which caused Hu Tao to feel sad: "You have been waiting for so many years, are you lonely?"

Lan Xi shook her head: "It is said that waiting is hard, but if you keep walking around here, chatting with new and old people, there is nothing to worry about... It's just that occasionally you think, if you just wait like this, it will be okay. Wait? Or can't wait?"

"In the beginning, I was sad and impatient... But later, I got used to it, maybe because I forgot who I was waiting for?"

Lan Xi pressed Hu Tao's cheek with the back of his hand, and said without resentment: "No matter what, I can only wait. If you also believe that he will definitely come, you can wait with me..."

Thinking of Lanxi's waiting for so many years without any results, Hu Tao knew that she had to believe in Xia Tian, ​​but she still became anxious.

Walk around, turn over those happy memories in your mind, and want to determine whether this emotion is "like".

And then... weird things happened.

All the fragments in memory seem to be just my own unilateral happiness?

When we first met, I lured him to buy a telescope to peek at the flower boat, and made fun of him...

Later, he pestered him to go to Wanmin Hall for dinner, causing him to hide under the table with him unnecessarily...

He helped the Rebirth Hall besieged by the Qianyan Army, and he also dealt with the soul riot incident in Wuwangpo, but he never thanked him...

When they arrived at Longji Snow Mountain, they deliberately peeked at Yula taking a bath, and blamed him for scolding him...

In the end, even though he was the one who was going to deal with the resentful spirit, he did nothing and put him in danger...

Now, I count on him to save me...

More than that, when I think back to Qiqi and Xiangling, they are all pictures of me making fun of them and being happy...

So... am I such a bad girl?

Ah, I'm such a bad girl!

If I had known earlier, shouldn't I be nicer to them and say a few more things I like about them...

Xia Tian... will come to look for me?Will you try to save me?If you come to save me, I will definitely not play tricks on you again...

The picture in his mind was like a revolving lantern before death, which made Hu Tao feel a little out of character.

She sat on the edge of the platform, swinging her feet.

Lan Xi ran over: "Hu Tao, is he the one you were waiting for?"
