Jiang Bai took the lotus flowers and lotus leaves he picked and turned his head to go to the courtyard of Hu Tao.

At this moment, the night is already very dark, and I don't know if Hu Tao has slept.

He climbed up the courtyard wall, poked his head out of the courtyard wall, and looked at Hu Tao's bedroom.

The light was still on in Hu Tao's bedroom, and from the shadow of the window, Hu Tao was sitting by the window with his head propped up in a daze.

Jiang Bai knew that the death of Emperor Yan made her not in a very good mood, but she didn't expect that she hadn't slept so late.

He knew that Hu Tao usually looked very smug and attached great importance to feelings, but he was very restrained and did not invest too much emotion in certain people or certain things.

Just because you are used to seeing them does not mean that you can endure them.

Just like she used to be friends with the stone lion...... The stone lion is a dead thing, and there is no such thing as a distinction.

Don't invest too much emotion, and when you get separated, you won't be too sad.

He was lying on the wall, deliberately probing his brain and looking, "Hall Master, have you slept~"

Hu Tao, who was in a daze, heard the voice and lifted up, opened the window, and poked his head out.

Seeing Jiang Bai, she was in a much better mood.

"Why don't you sleep so late?"

"Hehe, I've got something for you."

Jiang Bai mysteriously climbed into Hu Tao's yard, then walked to the window, and took out a large handful of lotus canopy from behind under Hu Tao's puzzled gaze.

"I specially went to the Ozo Mountain to pick it, it was tender and sweet."

Hu Tao's eyes lit up, and he leaned his arm on the edge of the window and rolled out of the window.

She peeled off a lotus seed to remove the bitter gall and threw it into her mouth, and the tender lotus seed was indeed tender and sweet as he said.

"It's not just lotus seeds." Jiang Bai stuffed the lotus canopy into Hu Tao's hand, and then took out a large handful of blooming lotus flowers.

The night was dark, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and only the light from the window illuminated the three points in front of the window.

The warm light fell on the lotus leaves and on Jiang Bai's face, he looked at the walnuts brightly, his face was sandwiched between the blooming lotus flowers, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

He handed her the lotus as if he were handing over a carefully prepared gift.

Hu Tao felt that her heartbeat was a little uncontrollable, she held the lotus canopy in one hand and took the lotus flower in the other, feeling that she was about to lose it.

Hu Tao's gaze fell on the mud of his pants, "You shouldn't have plucked the lotus flowers over there!" ”

"What's the matter, it's deserted over there, and there's no one there. In addition to lotus flowers, I also dug lotus roots. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Bai made a permanent vat with rock elements by the window of Hu Tao, put the lotus root with silt, lotus leaves and lotus flowers into it, and then ran to the backyard to fetch two buckets of water and poured them into the jar.

The lotus leaves, which had been a little depressed due to dehydration, regained their vitality not long after they came into contact with the water.

"Dangdang, how's that! Look good! Jiang Bai pointed to the lotus leaf bonsai with two fingers, proudly surprised.

Hu Tao held the lotus pod and lotus flowers, and watched him busy while eating lotus seeds, "Not bad, not bad!" ”

"I still have a lot of lotus root in Sanqingling, and I will send it to the kitchen later for Uncle Ge to cook and eat tomorrow."

"Aren't you waiting for the old man to prepare for apprenticeship? How did you go so far? ”

"Looking for an apprenticeship."

"The old man is going to take you?" Hu Tao was even more pleasantly surprised.

"Well, but I still have to finish drinking the apprentice tea." Jiang Bai didn't say anything to death.

"According to Old Man Zhong's stinky and exquisite fault, there must be many ways to apprentice tea."

"Yes, pick the dew of the glass lily in the early morning of seven days, and then go to pick the young leaves of the ancestral branches of the tea ......"

Seeing Jiang Bai's tired face, Hu Tao leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "I'll tell you quietly, our old man Zhong is not an ordinary person......

The warm breath sprayed in his ears, and Jiang Bai's ears were itchy and a little red, so that they didn't pay attention to what Hu Tao was talking about.

“...... He is actually an immortal who lives in seclusion in the mortal world, and if you worship him as a teacher, you are an immortal disciple......"

"Huh?" Jiang Bai didn't react for a while.

An immortal who lives in seclusion in the mortal world, Zhongli?

"How do you know, hall master?"

"He's been in the Hall of the Dead for so long, I don't know." Hu Tao looked at Jiang Bai with a look of how long your brain is, why is it so dull.

"Didn't he lament that the taste of the past could not be reproduced when he drank in that wine bottle last time? According to the ancient books I found, there is more than one wine bottle, the emperor made seven bottles back then, just to drink with his friends, and he only gave you one of them......"

Hu Tao took out a free hand to pat him on the shoulder, "Now that several immortals have passed away, the Wandering Night Guide Tianzhen Monarch died to save the people of Liyue during the Demon God War, and several immortals have passed away one after another, so this wine bottle has gradually been left behind among the people, Zhongli is unwilling to keep it, and now even the emperor is ......."

Hu Tao said this, and his mood was obviously low.

"Well, you'll have to keep it."

Jiang Bai nodded, "I'll take good care of it." ”

Seeing that Hu Tao mentioned that this mood was not high, Jiang Bai deliberately made an exaggerated expression, "I didn't expect you to know so much, hall master, I thought Mr. Zhongli was an ordinary person who lived for a long time......"

Being boasted by Jiang Bai like this, Hu Tao's mood improved a lot, "It's normal for you to not know, the Afterlife Hall has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, and there are many other ancient books, but I have turned out a lot of things in the past few days." I even came to find a record about the [Sending Immortals]. ”

"Sending the Immortal Ceremony? I only know that I invite the immortal ceremony, do I still have to send the immortal ceremony when the king of Yan leaves? ”

】

"No, it's not." Hu Tao shook his head and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.

"The ceremony of sending immortals is a ceremony held when the immortals pass away, sending the immortals back to the heavens. Because the span of each immortal ritual is very long, and the number of times is very small, even in the Hall of the Dead, only ancient books have a record of it. Even I, the hall master, can't guarantee that I can hold a good ceremony to send immortals to the emperor......"

Hu Tao's eyebrows were a little low.

Although life and death are common for her, the death of her loved ones inevitably makes her feel painful.

Although the Emperor of the Rock is not a relative, he is no different from a relative in the hearts of the people of Liyue.

She was wearing no hat at the moment, her hair was scattered behind her back, like a wounded kitten with her head hanging down.

"It's okay, there's still Mr. Zhongli here. He is well-versed in the past and the present, and he is an immortal, so it is best for him to do it. I'm not good at funerals, but I can help. ”

Jiang Bai reached out and touched the top of her head, reassuring as he spoke.

The warm touch came from the top of the head, as if there was a force transmitting from it.

"That's what I thought too."

Hu Tao smiled, put up the hall master's shelf and patted Jiang Bai's shoulder: "The hall master is very optimistic about you, when the time comes, send the immortal ceremony, follow the old man to do a good job, and send the king of Yan on his last journey!" ”

Jiang Bai's eyes were crooked, "Hmm! ”
