Chapter 118: Traditional Skills of the Hall of the Dead
"Let's find a place to rest for the night, I still need to go to the top of the mountain."
Calculating the time, it has been three days since he came to the snowy mountain, and if he hadn't met Albedo, he might still be looking for his way in the snowy mountain.
After a few days of walking around and not knowing how to get up, he had given up his own way up the mountain, and hoped that Albedo would take him to the top.
"There's a cave over here, follow me."
Albedo led Jiang Bai towards the left side of the ruins and walked to a cave that led to nowhere.
Finding a leeward corner, Albedo lit the fire, "Let's rest here tonight, and when we're rested, we'll go straight up the mountain from here tomorrow." ”
"Can I go up the mountain here?" Jiang Bai looked into the depths of the dark cave.
"In terms of geography and the location of this ruin, this cave should lead to the top of the mountain, and the further you go in, the more disturbed the leylines become, and the heavier the cold feeling.
But I've been in there and explored, and it's a dead end, maybe the original road has been blocked by snow or rockfalls......"
Jiang Bai nodded, it's okay if the road is blocked, I'm afraid there is no road.
The fire burns in the silent cave, and the light illuminates the surrounding path.
Jiang Bai ate two mora meats, took off his boots and baked them by the fire.
The snow in the snowy mountains is thick, and when I step into it, some snow burrows into the boots along the cuffs of the boots, and I keep walking, and the soles of my feet sweat, causing the socks to be a little wet.
Fortunately, there was no suffocating smell, otherwise Albedo would have considered setting up camp in another place on his own.
After a dreamless night, Jiang Bai, who got into the coffin, slept quite peacefully.
Albedo, on the other hand, sat at the fire and wrote something, and did not enter his tent until the middle of the night.
Early in the morning, Jiang Bai, a migrant worker whose mind was full of work, sat up from the coffin and woke up Albedo next to him.
"Good morning." Albedo stepped out of the tent.
His hair was a little messy, and he obviously hadn't had time to wash up.
"Good morning. Would you like something to eat? ”
The meatloaf that he nibbled with Albedo last night, Jiang Bai knew that although Albedo was a little special, he also needed to eat and rely on food to replenish his energy.
"I have a lot of snacks here that I can make for breakfast." He took out some biscuits and snacks like lotus crisp and peach crisp.
These were all given to him by Uncle Ge, afraid that he would go hungry when he went out.
In addition to these snacks, there is also milk.
Jiang Bai took out a bottle of heated milk from the pot and handed it to him.
You know, on this snowy mountain, it is not easy to drink a glass of warm milk in the morning. After all, this liquid is not easy to carry, and even if it is brought to the snowy mountains, it will be frozen into ice.
Jiang Bai is purely because of the wealth of the Afterlife Hall, and all kinds of food are the same as not asking for money, if it weren't for the fact that his Sanqing Bell couldn't fit it, Uncle Ge could get him more.
"Thank you."
Albedo was not polite and gladly accepted.
While eating breakfast and chatting, Albedo asked about Jiang Bai's goal.
"Which adventurer are you going to collect the bones for?"
"Kartis, do you know each other?"
"I remember him." Albedo's expression was a little abrupt.
Katis is a resolute-faced man who often runs alone to the snowy mountains, trying to discover the secrets of the snowy mountains.
And his workshop is also in the snowy mountains, and after coming and going, I have seen a lot, and I have known each other. He asked him for advice, including how to climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain, and he had also brought him to this path, but he didn't know what happened next.
Now when I hear that he is dead, I can't help but feel a little dazed.
"Is he dead?"
"Hmm." Jiang Bai took out the Quartet Sutra, and the pointer on it became a posture of pointing up at a vertical 80 degrees, which indicated that Katis was indeed on it.
"I found out from the artifact that his name had turned gray a few days ago, so I set off from Liyue Harbor, so it's supposed to be the fourth day, right?"
Jiang Bai took out a flyer and stuffed it into him, and began to show the traditional skills of the Afterlife Hall.
"How about it, do you want to take a look at our Dead Hall's [Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots] business, and give yourself a guarantee for your posthumous affairs!"
Albedo, who was forced to take the flyer: "? ”
"There are always all kinds of accidents in life, and my role is to protect the afterlife of customers who have ordered our business! No matter where you die, we will bring back your bones and bury you where you want to be buried! ”
Jiang Bai was just trying to sell it, and he didn't expect Albedo to really order this business.
After all, Albedo has a vision, and it is not so easy to die, and he is still young, so he doesn't need this business no matter how you look at it.
But what he didn't expect was that after reading the flyer, Albedo actually seriously thought about the feasibility.
"Is your Afterlife Hall dedicated to dealing with the aftermath of the dead?"
Seeing that Albedo was interested, Jiang Bai hurriedly made persistent efforts and enthusiastically promoted it.
"Yes. At present, our main business is the funeral business, and we also have the business of buying and selling funeral supplies, and the new business [Leaf Fall to the Roots] is also in full swing.
"Now there is an event, there is a buy one get one free, the second monument is half price activity, if you need it, go to the life hall to report my name, and give you a nine-percent discount!"
Albedo: "......"
How does it feel like something isn't quite right in this business?
You are engaged in funerals, why do you buy one get one free?
Handle a business and give away a corpse?
"If there's a need, I'll consider it." He put the leaflet away and did not continue to discuss the subject.
He felt that if he continued to ask questions, Jiang Bai might say more advertising words.
"Let's go, let's go."
After packing up his things, Jiang Bai held the torch, and the two of them advanced to the depths of the cave.
The further he walked in, the heavier the chill became, and the white mist exhaled by Jiang Bai became more and more obvious, even Albedo, who also carried a little mist between his breaths.
Jiang Bai put a rock shield on himself and tried to isolate the cold, but it didn't work at all.
The cold was like a puncture wound, no matter how thick the armor was, it was useless, the hand holding the torch was already a little stiff, and the fingers that were directly exposed to the air were completely unconscious.
Jiang Bai hurriedly poured himself a few sips of spirits, and put the frozen hand into his neck, trying to get his finger back to temperature as quickly as possible.
"Hiss~" The cold touch made Jiang Bai shrink his neck and gasp.
But the effect was undoubtedly significant, and in less than half a minute, the fingers were re-sensitive.
The hot liquor also dispelled a trace of cold for the body, so that Jiang Bai would not be frozen and shiver on the spot.
"The road has come to an end."
Albedo stopped, and the two of them had reached the end of their rope, and there was no way forward for them to walk.
Jiang Bai looked around with a torch and saw the environment clearly by the light of the torch.
