Chapter 15 There is still a sense of ritual

The scroll looked to be some year old, the paper was yellowed, and some of the old ink on it was a little blurred.

Jiang Bai could see it clearly, there were names written on it, from ancient times to the present, densely packed.

Jiang Bai had very reason to suspect that Hu Tao brought him to the Seven Heavens Statue not on a whim, but because it was premeditated!

How else is it possible to prepare so many things?

Hu Tao didn't care what he thought, took out three high incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, and chanted while making a gesture:

"Hu Tao, the seventy-seventh generation hall master of the Death Hall, is here, please ask the emperor and ancestors to witness that Jiang Bai has become a disciple of my Death Hall today, and since then he has been in the same boat through thick and thin, sharing honor and disgrace."

Looking at Hu Tao's solemn expression, Jiang Bai's expression also became solemn.

He stared at the names on it, each of those names representing a person, the ancestors of all the Deadly Hall.

There is no complicated pomp, no countless eyes to witness, even if she and Hu Tao are here, facing a statue of a god and the names of many ancestors, Jiang Bai, who was originally just a boat to join the Afterlife Hall, can't help but get up at this moment and truly regard himself as a part of the Afterlife Hall.

Hu Tao's crisp voice sounded in his ears, and she said, "Read ...... with me."

"Send the dead to life, do the things of the living, remove the charm and the ghost, and peace in the world."

This is the dogma of the church of the dead, and it is also the motto they obey.

"Send the dead to life, do the things of the living, remove the charm and the ghost, and peace in the world."

Two voices reverberated between the mountains and forests, and the sound was sonorous and powerful.

Jiang Bai didn't know what his previous style of behavior was, but now that he had become a member of the Afterlife Hall, he was willing to abide by this dogma.

After doing all this, Hu Tao picked up the pen and solemnly added Jiang Bai's name at the end.

After all the rituals were done, she let out a long breath and relaxed.

Jiang Bai also broke away from that solemn state, and said with emotion: "I thought that the hall master you took me back to the Afterlife Hall to join the Afterlife Hall......

Hu Tao put things away, "That's right, but there still has to be a sense of ritual, otherwise it's too casual, and there is no sense of belonging and identity." ”

"Isn't the hall master afraid that I'm a bad person with ulterior motives?"

"If you were able to say that yesterday, it means that you are not a bad person, if not a good person, then you are a principled person. Besides, your memory is gone, which is equivalent to a blank, whether it is good or evil depends on the person who sketches it with a pen. ”

"And I, the master of the hall, ....." Hu Tao patted his chest and said proudly, "I am very confident in my own vision!" ”

Jiang Bai smiled, it was a sincere smile.

He didn't know if he had any principles, whether he had been good or evil.

But as Hu Tao said, what kind of person he is depends on what kind of person he wants to become.

He looked up at the sky, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, making his whole body warm.

It's a good feeling to be trusted......

"Let's go, go down the mountain!" Hu Tao jumped up, and the fatigue of the morning rush seemed to be completely absent, and the whole life was alive and well.

Jiang Bai reluctantly picked up the basket and followed her down the mountain.

The setting sun paints the sky with golden clouds, and the two of them return to Liyue Harbor in the afterglow of the setting sun.

It's dinner time, and the smell of food wafts out of the kitchens of every household, and people are hungry.

There was a gurgling sound in their stomachs at the same time, and they immediately decided to speed up their pace and hurry back to eat.

Back at the Hall of the Dead, the ceremonies greeted with a smile, "Where has the hall master gone?" ”

"I came up with a brilliant idea, call a meeting after dinner, and let's discuss it!"

Leaving this sentence, Hu Taofeng disappeared, and he stood in place blankly.

What did the hall master think of again? Isn't it what buy-one-get-one-free, half-price for the second monument? That's nonsense, isn't it.......

Although worried, this ritual still greeted Jiang Bai and went to inform the other etiquette.

Jiang Bai looked for the aroma of the food and went straight to the restaurant, Hu Tao was already feasting, Jiang Bai joined the battle without hesitation.

Strange to say, he didn't eat much yesterday, he wasn't very hungry, why was he so hungry when he smelled the smell of food?

There are not many people in the Hall of the Dead, but except for Keqing, there are only about twenty people in total.

Every meal is the most lively time, they eat while chatting about the recent interesting things, and they are happy.

The person in charge of the meals in the Afterlife Hall is an uncle surnamed Ge, and he prepares three meals a day.

His hair was gray, but he was still in good spirits, and at the moment he was tied to the group, smiling as he watched the children of the Afterlife Hall eating together.

When he was young, he was also a ceremonial of the Afterlife Hall, watching Hu Tao, the small hall master, grow up, but he has never started a family, and when he is old, he can't do anything else, plus he has good cooking skills, so he specializes in cooking for young people.

For him, the Hall of the Dead is his home.

Now seeing the young children of the Dead Life Hall, there is a sense of relief that my family's small tree is gradually growing.

Looking at Jiang Bai's new face, he looked loving, "Xiao Jiang, you just joined our Death Hall, I don't know your taste, I don't know your habit of eating or not, tell me if you have any taboos......"

"Uncle Ge's food is really good, I've never eaten such a delicious meal!"

Yesterday, Jiang Bai had already met with all the rituals, and he also knew about this Uncle Ge. At this time, when he heard Uncle Ge say this, his rainbow fart jumped out as if he didn't want money, and he frantically picked up rice in his mouth as he spoke, trying to prove that what he said was all true.

This rainbow fart is really suitable, Uncle Ge stroked his back and motioned him to eat slowly, "It's good if you like it, you kid is also a poor person, if you like to eat, tell Uncle Ge, Uncle Ge ......will make it for you."

Jiang Bai looked moved, reached out and wiped the tears that didn't exist in the corners of his eyes, "Uncle Ge, you are so good......"

He wasn't so moved, but that didn't prevent him from making exaggerated gestures to make the old man happy.

But to be honest, the Afterlife Hall did make him very comfortable.

There's no constraints, and there's no need to clock in from 9 to 5 like you go to work.

As for the big plan of [Leaf Fall to the Roots] that the hall master said...... emmmm... Let's talk about it then!

"Hehe......" Uncle Ge smiled even more happily, "If the hall master bullies you, just tell me, and I will help you teach her a lesson......"

"Uncle Ge, look at what you said, as the hall master, how could I, as the hall master, do such a thing!"

"Not necessarily......"

The restaurant was filled with laughter.

After eating and drinking, Hu Tao touched his round belly because of eating, and stretched his waist.

She looked around from side to side, then jumped on a stool so that everyone could see her.

"Ahem, let's gather in the hall after dinner, I have a big plan to announce!"
