Hu Tao tells the origin of the Hall of the Dead.

"During the Demon God War, corpses were everywhere, lives were devastated, infectious diseases spread everywhere, many people were killed, and this plague continued to spread with the dead as a breeding ground.

Later someone found a way to stop the spread of the plague: purify the air and burn the corpses.

The first people to start doing this kind of thing were the [Afterlife Hall]. Our ancestors, as insignificant human beings, spent a long time driving death back......"

"Didn't humans have the protection of the gods at that time?"

"Absolutely! It was the Emperor who protected our ancient ancestors and defeated many demon gods, which is why Liyue is now ......."

Speaking of which, Hu Tao learned the tone of a storyteller and recited the story she had heard since she was a child.

"At that time, Liyue was infested by great demons in the seas and evil mantis in the mountains. The Emperor of the Rock King summoned all the immortals to return the world to a bright and prosperous world. Legend has it that when the emperor set out on his expedition, he said:

Although I have no intention of chasing the deer, I know the suffering of the people, and I only want to sweep away the Quartet and protect a corner of the floating world......"

Hu Tao said, and his voice changed tone, becoming low and serious.

Jiang Bai listened carefully, and he also had a deeper understanding of the Rock King Emperor.

"It turns out that the Emperor of the Rock is such a god?"

The phrase 'sweep the world and protect the world' alone is enough to show how benevolent this god is, and now that Liyue is prosperous, it is enough to show what great things he has done.

Hearing the admiration in Jiang Bai's tone, Hu Tao raised his little face and proudly couldn't.

They are the emperor, the only one in heaven and on earth!

"Of course, I'll find you some books another day, there are a lot of books about the emperor in the study......"

The people of Liyue are fond of collecting objects about the Emperor, and she is no exception.

Her collection of all kinds of books about the emperor from the past and present is enough to fill a bookshelf!

"Good ......"

Jiang Bai nodded, and his thoughts turned back to the pattern of the ruins.

In this case, these ruins and ruin guards here should all belong to the same demon god.

With the defeat of the Demon God, the people of those Demon God have also passed away from generation to generation, and with their passing, these former homelands have been reduced to ruins.

And the demon god that the ruins guards believe in should be the one they are now suppressed by the rock god under their feet!

As for why he lived in a place where his god was suppressed, Jiang Bai could come up with a lot of reasons with his toes, what is there no place on the continent, what is the closest place to faith, what is trying to let his gods break free from the seal......

Jiang Bai thought that he had learned the truth, and he planned to discuss these things with Mr. Zhongli after he went back.

For his keen observation, Mr. Zhongli must have been surprised too!

The two chatted as they walked, and soon came to the largest island in the middle.

"I don't know where the Phaseless Rock is, but I might be able to see it if I climb to the top of the mountain." Walnut points to the top of the mountain, which is the highest point in the area, and the view is good.

Instead of looking aimlessly, it's better to go up and have a look.

Without looking up, Jiang Bai could see the high mountain top, the huge rock spear plunged into the deep sea in an oblique posture, and the inclined arc just gave a way to climb up.

In the distance, Jiang Bai could even see the wreckage of some buildings.

Obviously, there have been many buildings on it in the past.

"Okay."

Jiang Bai has no opinion, Hu Tao doesn't know where the Phaseless Rock is, and he doesn't know anymore.

If you climb up, you can see the terrain in its entirety, and if you stand on a high place, the scenery should be good!

"Let's go!" Hu Tao cheered and ran forward first, and the little ghost came out of her body and spun around happily.

"Hall Master, are you in such good spirits?" Jiang Bai followed behind her and slowly climbed up the path up the mountain.

When he was fighting the ruins guard just now, he manipulated too many rock pillars, which made him a little tired.

"As the seventy-seventh generation hall master of the Hall of the Dead, the night watchman of the two worlds of life and death, and the maintainer of the balance of yin and yang, it is not okay if his physical strength is not good!"

Hu Tao turned around and grimaced, "It's a void to fight a ruin guard, Jiang Xiaobai, you still have to exercise more!" ”

The corners of Jiang Bai's mouth twitched.

Jiang Xiaobai? What is this strange name?

"Yes, yes, the hall master is right......" Jiang Bai said perfunctorily.

He had only been exposed to elemental power for a short time, otherwise how could he be so tired from making a little rock pillar?

Halfway up the mountain, Hu Tao, who was happily advancing, suddenly stopped, his body quickly turned into illusion, and he teleported to Jiang Bai's side through a distance of more than ten meters, pulling him to hide behind a big rock.

"What's wrong, hall master?" Jiang Bai looked puzzled.

Except for the funeral, it was the first time she had seen Hu Tao look so serious, could it be that there was any danger that she couldn't deal with in front of her?

"Danger ahead! There are three Abyss Mages! ”

If you encounter one, it's easy to deal with, and three appear together, and the colors are still complementary, then it's very difficult to deal with.

"Abyss mage?" It was the first time Jiang Bai had heard of this kind of monster, and it was very difficult to deal with when he heard the name.

He cautiously poked his head out from behind the rock, and sure enough, he saw three figures dancing around the torches.

These abyssal mages resemble human shapes, only much smaller. They have two long ears, and they don't know if they are wearing masks on their faces, which look like a bird's beak, and there are two holes in the places of the eyes, revealing the solid color of the pupils.

They were also wearing human clothes, and there were patterns engraved on them, but they were too far away for Jiang Bai to see what the patterns were on them.

Each abyss mage holds a staff in his hand that represents his own attributes, and presumably he should use the staff to attract elemental power to attack.

"The red Fire Abyss Mage, the blue one is the Water Abyss Mage, and the light blue one is the Ice Abyss Mage." Hu Tao poked his head out and introduced Jiang Bai.

"They sense that the enemy will instantly summon a shield to protect them, and they can teleport for short distances. If you are accidentally attacked by the Abyss Mage, and then attacked by the Ice Abyss Mage, it is easy to freeze and temporarily lose your mobility, which is very tricky. ”

"Not only that, but they'll also cooperate, and if they can't break their shields and finish them off quickly, they'll resummon their shields."

"It's really tricky......"

It's a bit tricky, but these monsters are in their way, and they can't stop moving forward because of that.

"Hall Master, what are you going to do?" Jiang Bai had no experience in dealing with this kind of monster, so he naturally had to consult Hu Tao.
