Chapter 12: Folk master Jiang Xue

"I didn't expect you to be quite smart!"

Of course, no, why does that sound a little weird?

"Why do your hands keep shaking?"

Liang Jiu pretended to cough twice and said, "It's a little cold tonight, it should be a cold, cough cough." ”

Do you want to tell the hall master that he just had a fight with the pot Bachuchu people, and then his hand broke? No, isn't that ruining your own glorious image?

"Uh-oh." Hu Tao nodded, but only she knew how much she believed Liang Jiu's words.

"When the mission is over, you can go to Bubulu to have a look. Now let's sort out how much power there is in Wangshu Inn. Hu Tao sat up straight, pinched the white paper on the table with a large ball of twisted threads, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash.

"This ......" Liang Jiu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hehe, when you were bored waiting before, I drew a picture, how about it, is it good?"

"It's good-looking." Liang Jiu's face was full of admiration, and he said, "I didn't understand the meaning of this picture before, but after the hall master's order, I discovered the hall master's heavenly resources in ancient Liyue ink landscape paintings. Unexpectedly, although the hall master was not very old, he appreciated the true meaning of ink painting, and opened a precedent for a generation of ink abstract painting style with his high painting attainments. ”

"With just a few strokes, the undulating hills of the mountains are vividly displayed, and it can really be said that 'the side of the ridge is a peak, and the height and height are different from far and near.'" From top to bottom, the meandering river at the foot of the mountain cascades down from the high mountain waterfall, outlining the rapids and dredging currents as if they were natural. Not only that, the hall master also deliberately used an abstract style to express this painting, expressing his sigh for the vastness of life, as well as his yearning and love for the beautiful landscape. Such a masterpiece can be described as 'earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods.' However, the owner is still not satisfied with the work, which shows his strictness of his own requirements and his passionate pursuit of beauty. ”

Hu Tao was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "It's really condescending to let you stay in the Hall of the Dead, you should go to tell the story." ”

"The hall master has won the award, I just have a little more tacit understanding with the hall master." Liang Jiu humbly arched his hand.

"I'm drawing butterflies."

There was a long silence in the room.

"Actually, this butterfly is pretty cute, hahaha......" Liang Jiu smiled wryly.

Hu Tao snorted lightly and said, "I know my painting is not good-looking, you don't have to compliment me, I won't give you a salary increase." ”

"Huh?"

"When I was a child, my grandfather taught me to draw talismans, but I couldn't draw them well, and then my grandfather burned all the talisman paper with a fire, and I never used talismans in the Afterlife Hall again. Hee-hee, grandpa is kind to me. A smile appeared at the corner of Hu Tao's mouth, with his grandfather here, his childhood was very happy.

Liang Jiu nodded: "Grandpa is so good." ”

Hu Taodai raised her eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Don't talk about that. Liyue's current ability to detain ghosts is probably the following, one is the Seven Stars. However, Seven Stars is busy with affairs, and they work twenty-five hours a day, so they definitely don't have time to come to Wangshu Inn; The second is the immortals, but the immortals rarely care about such trivial matters, and even if they do, they will not be unable to deal with this matter completely. ”

"The third is that we have passed away, so we don't have to think about it. And fourthly, Liyue's folk masters. ”

"Folk masters? Is there really anyone who can quietly detain souls? Liang Jiu was a little suspicious, no matter how mortal he was, he was still a mortal, and this method of soul restraint might not even be able to do it for some people who had obtained the Vision of God.

Hu Tao smiled and said, "Don't underestimate people." As the saying goes, 'the master is in the people', Captain Beidou fought alone with the sea beast for a few days and nights without getting the Vision of God, and finally succeeded in killing; although the traveler is dirty every day, the quality of life is not high, but the strength is far beyond mortals, after all, there is no Vision of God, so naturally you can't be too demanding; and there are only a few people in the immortal families who fought with the emperor two thousand years ago who have the Vision of God, but their strength is close to the Demon God; even the shopkeeper of Huai'an, the boss of Philgodette and the chef of Yanxiao in this inn, I don't think they're ordinary people. Of course, they're still much, much worse than the ones I mentioned earlier. ”

Can mortals be so strong?

Liang Jiu gasped, he really didn't know much about the history and humanities of Liyue, and now that he heard from the hall master, he felt the magic of this world.

The immortals are comparable to the gods with the bodies of mortals, which can be said to be the pinnacle of mortal combat power. However, most of the immortals were born in response to the spiritual fortune of heaven and earth, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, and their strength was difficult to replicate. Traveler, she is a visitor to another world, and she doesn't know what secrets she holds. It is only Captain Beidou who has truly grown from an ordinary person to someone who has the Vision of God, or even surpasses.

Now that the Emperor is dead, the people of Liyue will have to rely on themselves if they want to become stronger in the future.

"Maybe we can ask the shopkeeper of Huai'an if there are any mortal masters around here."

"No need to ask."

Before the two of them could move, a big man's voice suddenly came from outside the door, accompanied by heavy footsteps, and in two steps, a middle-aged man in coarse cloth clothes entered the field of vision of the two.

"You are?"

The middle-aged man smiled, regardless of the two of them, found a stool by himself, then poured himself a cup of tea, sat on the stool and drank it all.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Xue, and I am just an ordinary angler. Presumably this is the master of the Hall of Death, and it is as beautiful and moving as rumored. It is really admirable that a little girl can do such a good job in the Hall of the Dead. ”

"Wherever and wherever Mr. Jiang Xue is famous, even if I am far away in Liyue Harbor, I can hear Mr. Jiang Xue's heroic deeds of subduing demons and eliminating demons and protecting the safety of the people."

Jiang Xue waved her hand and said, "Master Hu's words are wrong, the one who really subdues demons and destroys demons is the Great Sage of Demons, and I just got rid of some missing monsters." It's just that everyone is too exalted, and I have the false name I have now. ”

Liang Jiu: ?

You're going to blow each other in business?

"Now that I see Hall Master Hu, the big stone in my heart can finally fall to the ground." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke: "I stumbled upon this ghost when I was at the Wangshu Inn before, but due to the rampant monsters recently, I can only suppress it in the inn for the time being, waiting for the Afterlife Hall to take it away. ”

"You ......" Liang Jiu suddenly spoke, and was about to ask Jiang Xue if he knew about their arrival, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xue.

"Before, I proposed to Huai'an to send a commission to the Xiangsheng Hall, but he was always worried that the seven-star background of the Wangshu Inn would be leaked, and he would rather wait for the Chongyun Xiaodao Master to come back than find the Xiangsheng Hall. The background of Wangshu Inn is also hidden from ordinary people, and it is ridiculous to hide the afterlife hall that maintains the balance of life and death. If it weren't for the Chongyun Xiaodao Leader being trapped, it is estimated that he would not have thought of the Hall of the Dead. ”
