Chapter 294: Your Hall Master is in My Hands
"What the hell is going on, let's talk about it carefully."
Her instincts told her that these people were not normal, but if there were ghosts, then she couldn't sit idly by.
"There is a mountain near Wufu Slope that collapsed, exposing an ancient ruin, and a few of our brothers were curious to go in to explore, but the eldest brother was attacked by a demon, and we fought to escape ......" One of them burst into tears.
The Fatui wanted to completely disguise themselves as Liyue and not let Hu Tao find out, so they simply captured a few Treasure Hoarders, lured and coerced, and then volunteered to become bait.
These people are indeed exploring the ruins, which have been revealed by landslides, and are suspected to be very old mausoleums, which are dangerous and weird, and there are suspected evil spirits guarding the mausoleum.
They had come to Liyue Harbor with the intention of looking for an expert in the field, but before they could find them, they were approached by the Fatui.
They don't really work for the Fatui, and they have their own little calculations.
As we all know, the Hall of the Dead is an expert at dealing with ghosts and evil spirits, and the hall master Hu Tao is an expert among experts.
Bringing Hu Tao to the ruins not only fulfills the Fatui's request, but also allows Hu Tao to help them clean up the dirt in the ruins, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
As for what to do if you are discovered?
Oh, there are so many of them, are they still afraid of a little girl?
For the sake of helping them get rid of the evil spirits, they can still let this girl out alive, but if this girl doesn't know what to do, then they can't be blamed for being ruthless.
Hu Tao looked the three of them up and down, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Shouldn't you report this kind of thing to the Millelith Army as soon as possible?" β
"This ......" The three of them wanted to speak and stopped, and they were divided.
Aren't they looking for their own death in reporting on the Millelith Army?
Hu Tao could roughly see the identities of these people, she put her hands around her chest, and looked at them for a long time, "Since you are unwilling to report to the Millelith Army, it means that the situation is not serious, and I still have an immortal ceremony to do, so please be smart." β
Regarding Hu Tao's attitude, several people glanced at each other and decided to reveal a little.
"This ..... Don't hide it from the hall master, no one has ever entered the ruins before, and there are many treasures among them, if we report it, how can we still have our share? β
"Then you're not afraid that I'll share your treasure?"
"If you can destroy those demons for us, you should share the treasure!"
Hu Tao looked at them with empty eyes, until she saw that they were starting to get nervous, and then she said, "Okay, I'll run with you, if there are really evil ghosts, I will deal with it, but if you do some shady things, don't blame me for reporting to the Millelith Army." β
"It's nature, it's nature!"
Hu Tao waved his hand and beckoned a ceremonial man over, "I'll go to Wufu Slope with these people, it is estimated that it will take a while, and I will definitely not be able to catch up with the ceremony of sending immortals......
Although it is a pity that she cannot participate in the ceremony of sending immortals, it is her duty to maintain the balance between life and death. If you're not afraid of 10,000, she's afraid that in case, she still has to go this way.
"Okay, I got it." The ceremonial nodded.
Not long after Hu Tao left, the ceremonial man, who was about to return to the Afterlife Hall to inform the hall master's whereabouts, was knocked unconscious while passing through an alley.
"My lord, Hu Tao is already out of the city." A debt handler appears next to Tartaglia.
Tartaglia smiled appreciatively, "Good job." β
"Now, just wait for Jiang Bai to come back."
It doesn't feel like it works, but you have to try.
.
Jiang Bai and Kong teleported back to the city after picking flowers, but they were stopped by a debt handler after they left.
Jiang Bai crossed his hands around his chest, wanting to see what this debt handler wanted to do in the middle of the road.
The debt handler wears a hood, a mask on his face, and speaks in a mournful voice.
"Childe-sama, let me bring you a message, your hall master is now in our hands. If you want to save her, you can exchange the heart of the rock god. β
Hearing this, Jiang Bai didn't have any expression on his face, but the terrible feeling that was gloomy made the empty next to him involuntarily take two steps back.
"Well... It's scary......" Paimon felt his teeth twitch a little, and shrank behind him in fear.
Kong opened his mouth to admonish, "Calm down, Hall Master Hu is not so easy to be caught by them!" β
He had seen Hu Tao fight with Gongzi in Yujingtai, and with Hu Tao's strength, it was absolutely impossible to be caught casually.
"Heh, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." The debt handler throws out a picture of Hu Tao unconscious and imprisoned.
Of course, they faked the photo, but as long as they could fool the person on the other side.
Jiang Bai glanced at the photo, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
A huge rock dungeon rises from the ground, trapping the debt handler inside.
Of course, he wouldn't believe the other party's words so much, but he was really angry.
Some things are the dragon's scales, and they can't be moved.
He forcibly suppressed the churning anger, first took out the Sifang Sutra Instrument, and took out the pointer that would guide Hu Tao, the name on the pointer was bright, indicating that Hu Tao's signs of life were fine.
He placed the pointer inside, and it rotated in a circle, pointing in the opposite direction to Liyue Harbor.
In that direction, there is the Guiliyuan and Hopeful Shu Inn, and there is the Dihua Prefecture they have just visited......
After determining Hu Tao's approximate location, he directly sent a message to Hu Tao with a thousand miles of microphone.
γWhere are you?γ Are you okay? How did you get out of town??? The Fatui say you've been caught by them? Reply to my message!
Urgent! Hurry, hurry!
οΌ γ
Hu Tao, who was riding on a horse, felt the thousand-mile microphone in his ears vibrate, and Jiang Bai's anxious words came to his face.
Hu Tao subconsciously plucked her ears, she was caught by the Fatui? How did she not know?
[What's that?] How did I not know that I had been captured by the Fatui? A few tomb robbers said that they had found a ruin and dug up an evil spirit that hurt people, and I went to deal with it, how did it turn out that I was caught by the Fatui? γ
"Master Hu? Why didn't you leave all of a sudden? The horse that saw Hu Tao suddenly stopped, and the person in front of him also stopped.
After sending the message, Hu Tao skimmed at the three people who led the way, his eyes narrowed.
"Actually, there are no relics, right? You're just trying to lure me out of town? β
The three of them were startled, but quickly regained their senses.
The people have already been called out of the city, so naturally it is impossible for her to go back, their treasures are still waiting for them to get them!
"Hall Master Hu, look at this." One of them pulled out a jade cicada.
Hu Tao's eyes turned cold, of course she recognized what it was, it was something that some rich and noble people used to depress their tongues when they were buried.
Since the Demon God War, in order to reduce epidemics, burials have been very rare, and only some people who are not rich or noble and powerful will prepare tombs and burial goods for themselves.
