Chapter 42: Is There Really a World of the Dead?
Zhongli didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know what he had made up in his brain, otherwise he might have to give his head a look, what kind of stuff was this brain supplement?
He paused, then continued:
"I don't know if you'll stay here forever and if you'll regain your memory, but when you stay here, you might as well go out and see more, it's also a way to increase your knowledge......"
Jiang Bai nodded yes.
The world is so big, so many new and interesting things, he will definitely take a good look.
"Let's go to Huaguanglin tomorrow, does Mr. Zhongli want to come with us?"
"No, just go yourself." Zhongli declined Jiang Bai's invitation.
Tomorrow Mr. Yun has a new play, and he is ready to listen to it.
"Okay......" Jiang Bai was a little pity, but he couldn't forcibly pull Zhong away, could he?
After a good night's rest, the next morning, the two of them were ready to go on the road to Huaguanglin in good spirits.
Walking out of Liyue Harbor with Jiang Bai, Hu Tao pointed to the main road ahead, planning the course of action for the two of them.
"We walked from Guiliyuan, there is a big road leading directly to the clouds, if you start from this point, you should be able to reach the Wangshu Inn at two o'clock in the afternoon. Let's have a meal over there, and then fly over the Bishui River from the roof of the Wangshu Inn to Cuijue Slope......"
"Oh." Jiang Bai didn't know what it was, anyway, what Hu Tao said was what it was.
He followed Hu Tao's footsteps along the road, listening to Hu Tao give him common sense as he went.
"There is also a statue of the Seven Heavens God in Guiliyuan, and because it is right next to the main road, people often go to worship it, and passers-by will stop for a while to pray for the emperor's safety.
There are often a lot of tributes on it, and if you are hungry, you can sneak around and get a little bit without being discovered......"
"Isn't that right?"
"What's so bad? Isn't food just for people to eat? The emperor can't eat it, so instead of leaving it there all the time to spoil, it's better to soothe your hungry stomach. ”
Speaking of this, her voice suddenly whispered, "But don't be seen by the people who worship, you will be beaten~"
Jiang Bai didn't feel that he needed to steal the tribute, if he was hungry, wouldn't there be so many sweet flowers on the mountains and fields?
It's Hu Tao, which is very experienced at first glance.
"I see there are quite a few guards on the side of the road...... these guards are wearing armor and holding standard spears in their hands, and they are full of intimidation at first sight.
"This road is the main trade route to Mondstadt, so it is guarded by the Millelith Army along the way, if you encounter any difficulties on the road in the future, just look for the Millelith......
Hu Tao shook his head, attracting the attention of the Millelith Army on the side of the road.
"As for what the Millelith Army is, as the name suggests, it is the army that protects Liyue, and it is under the jurisdiction of the General Affairs Department......
This Millelith Jiang Bai had also seen it in Liyue Harbor, but he didn't need Hu Tao to give him science popularization.
"Don't we have any transportation? Walking on two legs? ”
"Yes, carriage!" Hu Tao held her head in her hands, plucked a piece of grass and put it in her mouth, and as she walked, the grass roots trembled.
"But I don't like to sit, after all, with my footsteps, I still want to go anywhere very quickly. If you run, the carriage won't run as fast as I do! ”
As he spoke, Hu Tao moved backwards and performed a fancy vanishing technique for Jiang Bai.
"Hall Master, what is the principle of your ability?" Jiang Bai had seen Hu Tao use this ability many times, and finally asked curiously.
This ability looks like it penetrates space, and it can even be relied on to dodge attacks.
"I'm the seventy-seventh generation hall master of the Afterlife Hall, responsible for guarding the balance of yin and yang, of course I went to the world of the dead~"
The little ghost in Hu Tao's body came out, drooped two small short hands, opened his mouth to Jiang Bai and exposed his tongue, making a fierce and resentful look.
Jiang Bai couldn't hold back a smile, but he really couldn't pretend to be scared.
This little thing is so cute! Who would be scared by it!
"Is there really a world of the dead?"
It sounds like a fictional world that the hall master brags about, but if there really is a world of the dead, then what does the world of the dead look like?
Are ghosts floating in the sky? Or is it the same as the eighteenth-layer region? Or is it nothingness?
"Of course there is, but it's not something you can get into contact with now, even if it's the Hall of the Afterlife, only a few people know about it."
"Okay......"
Hu Tao said this, Jiang Bai didn't continue to explore, the main reason was that Hu Tao not only wouldn't talk about it, but would annoy him, and it would be bad to shoot him on the head when the time came.
Walking to a roadside, Jiang Bai found a strange device on a large rock.
The device floats over a stone staircase, and when viewed it looks like a spindle for weaving, but with a recess in the middle.
It is embellished with some gold patterns and wrapped in blue crystals at both ends.
It was the first time Jiang Bai had seen this thing, and he walked over curiously, "What is this?" ”
"I don't know, this thing has been here since I knew it, and everyone said it was an ancient mysterious object, but no one knew what it was for."
"Ancient objects? Can it last so long? ”
Jiang Bai leaned over curiously and reached out to touch it.
Originally, he was just curious and touched it, but unexpectedly, Jiang Bai actually felt something different.
There was a feeling of touching the elemental creation condensed by Mr. Zhongli for the first time.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking, as if he had vaguely sensed some kind of vein.
These veins are like the blood vessels of the human body, forming an impermeable web that envelops the whole earth and the whole world.
"There are also two in Liyue Harbor, the anchorage of this leyline, and when I first built the house, I wanted to demolish it, but I couldn't do it at all, and then I couldn't help it, so I left this thing and became an ornament. It's not just Liyue Harbor, it's everywhere in the land......"
Hu Tao didn't know what Jiang Bai was doing, and she didn't know what Jiang Bai felt, even if she was the master of the Hall of the Dead, her understanding of this was limited to these.
Jiang Bai opened his eyes, "Hall Master, this thing is so strange......"
"What's this strange method?"
"When I first came across it, I felt something like a vein, like a net, spreading through the earth......"
Jiang Bai roughly described his feelings.
"You should be feeling the leylines, but why can you feel them?" Hu Tao leaned over suspiciously, and reached out to touch it, but the result was still the same as before, and he didn't feel anything.
"Leylines? What is Leyline? The pulse of the earth? ”
Hu Tao blustered his cheeks, recalling the communication he had with Zhongli.
She was also very curious about this kind of thing when she was young, and when her curiosity attacked, she asked everyone around her, and only Mr. Zhongli gave an answer.
