Chapter 255 The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold
Wuwangpo, due to the special magnetic field here, the abyss monsters did not spread here, but instead all went to the Tianheng Mountain area, wanting to break through Tianheng Mountain and wipe out all the humans in Tianheng Mountain.
But the strong negative energy emanating from it indicated that Wuwangpo was not the paradise in the troubled times. However, for some unknown reason, this negative energy was firmly locked in Wuwangpo and did not spread out.
In front of the leisurely pond at Wuwangpo, a girl with plum blossom eyes and twin ponytails was constantly moving something.
The person was none other than Hu Tao, and what Hu Tao was carrying were branches of lychee trees. In the pavilion beside the pond were rotten corpses with yellow talismans on their foreheads.
Hu Tao piled the lychee tree branches in an open space. Judging from the number of lychee tree branches on the open space, it was obvious that there were quite a lot of them.
After finally throwing a handful of lychee tree branches on it, Walnut let out a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You clients, I clearly promised you that I would happily go to reincarnation after I helped you with your funeral."
"As a result, I, the hall master, have to deal with your affairs until now. I only took one part of your money, but I have to do two jobs. I am really at a loss."
"After all, the original contract did not include after-sales service. Well, forget it. I am kindhearted after all. Since you have come back to life, I can only send you on your way again."
"Of course, there is no charge this time. I just hope that after this time, you will not be resurrected again. There is a Yellow Spring Road in Yin, and there is a Yangguan Road in Yang."
"There is a destiny in the universe of yin and yang. Your life span has come to an end, so you should not linger in the human world. This is against the law of yin and yang, and it is unacceptable to heaven."
Walnut picked up a handful of incense and walked in front of the sealed zombies. After bowing three times, he inserted the incense in front of them.
Then I sat on the seat in the pavilion, looking at the gray sky boredly. There was no beautiful scenery in Wuwangpo. The only magical thing was that the moon would shine on the pool only on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
However, Kurumi did not rest for long, as bubbles began to gurgle above the surface of the pool. Kurumi shook her head helplessly, and then the Homa appeared in her hand, with flames burning on the gun body.
Walnut jumped from the stopped railing and did a backflip. Standing on the water surface, he thrust the spear in his hand towards the bubbling place without any hesitation.
The flames on the Homa spear seemed to be attracted by something and began to gather and gush towards the bottom of the lake.
Only when the bubbles on the water stopped gurgling did Hu Tao put away the protective film with a tired look on his face. Feeling the elemental power in his body being exhausted, Hu Tao reluctantly returned to the pavilion.
When I arrived at the pavilion, I found that the incense had burned out, leaving only the last piece quietly stuck in the incense burner.
Walnut did not rest, and began to carry the corpses one by one, piling them on the litchi branches. Logically speaking, if people were exposed to corpses for a long time, they would have a certain degree of rotting corpse odor, which was impossible to remove.
However, Walnut does not have this problem because she has had the scent of plum blossoms since the day she was born.
The fragrance of plum blossoms is a light, elegant and refined fragrance, known as "hidden fragrance". It is not as sweet as peach blossoms, but cool, distant and ethereal, often floating in the breeze, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The fragrance of plum blossoms varies among different varieties. Winter plum blossoms are relatively fragrant, while spring plum blossoms have a lighter fragrance.
The plum blossom fragrance of Hutao is the fragrance of spring plum blossoms. It may also be due to this faint plum blossom fragrance that Hutao does not have the corpse smell of long-term contact with corpses.
Perhaps Hu Tao is really suitable for the Hall of the Dead, but secular concepts are not so easy to break. In the eyes of the adults in Liyue, although Hu Tao is quirky and very cute, she has been dealing with the dead for a long time after all.
Naturally, she was not willing to let her children get too close to Hu Tao, which led to the fact that except for the period before she took over Wangsheng Hall, little Hu Tao had a few good friends. But after she took over Wangsheng Hall, she only had Xiangling, Chongyun, Xingqiu and a few other friends.
Shortly after Hu Tao was born, her mother died of complications during childbirth. When she was one year old, her father also died while suppressing the evil spirit of Wuwang Hill.
Hu Tao, who has never seen her parents, has been living with her grandfather since she can remember. In Hu Tao's impression, her grandfather is a very gentle and kind person.
He would not scold his child for being naughty like other parents, but would praise his child for being very lively and active, and he was also not like other parents who were impatient to accompany their children.
Grandpa listened patiently to her quirky and imaginative ideas, and also commented seriously on her limericks. This was the happiest time for Walnut.
It was the company of her grandfather that made up for the fatherly and motherly love that Hu Tao lacked. Hu Tao was unfortunate, but she was also lucky. Unfortunately, she had no parents since she could remember, but fortunately, she had a grandfather who loved her.
But Hu Tao's life was ultimately unfortunate. When she was 13 years old, she took over the position of head of the Wangsheng Hall. And the first funeral she performed was her grandfather's funeral.
When Hu Tao was 13 years old, her grandfather passed away. He was already old, and after experiencing the pain of losing his son, he supported the entire Wangsheng Hall. After training Hu Tao to be able to take care of things on his own, his body could not bear the burden and he passed away.
That day, Hu Tao cried like a tearful person, her crying was heartbreaking. Her crying even moved the heavens, and a drizzle of rain began to fall from the sky, accompanying Hu Tao all the time.
When she read the classics and learned that the dead souls would wander in Wuwangpo, Hu Tao packed only one day's worth of dry food and headed for Wuwangpo, but the journey was not smooth.
First, they ran out of food after arriving at Guiliyuan, and then they found out when they arrived at Wuwangpo. Wuwangpo was full of monsters and demons, but Hu Tao was not afraid, and rushed up with just a wooden stick.
She encountered various monsters along the way, some of which only threatened her from a distance and then let her go, while others rushed up to attack her. She resisted and ran away. Finally, she arrived at Wuwang Slope and came to the deep pool.
However, when she arrived here, there was nothing but a deep pool. However, she did not give up. She found a big rock, hugged her knees, buried her head between her legs and sobbed quietly.
Day after day, as time passed, when she was hungry she would go find some wild fruits in the mountains, and when she was thirsty she would drink pond water.
Until one full-moon night on the 15th day of the lunar month, a road emitting golden light suddenly appeared on the cliff.
Walnut walked in without any hesitation. When she came inside, she found that it was a world completely different from the outside.
There are all kinds of people with light blue figures here. Some of them stand alone in one place, while others are four or five people talking there.
Walnut saw that their figures were very similar to the souls recorded in the family history. She found the legendary boundary between life and death, so she began to question one soul after another, trying to find her grandfather.
However, all the souls answered her that they had never seen her grandfather. Hu Tao's grandfather was also a household name in Liyue. After all, when the end of their lives was approaching, the elderly in every household were proud that Hu Tao's grandfather would send them to the afterlife.
Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Hu Tao didn't give up. She believed that her grandfather would come to see her, so she stayed at the junction of life and death, and time passed by until an old lady came to her.
"Go back, kid. Wuwangpo is the border between life and death. Souls will only appear here if they have regrets."
"However, every head of the Wangsheng Hall has no regrets, so why would he appear here?"
After she finished speaking, the old lady left. Hu Tao sat there thinking about the meaning of the old lady's words, and she suddenly understood.
If there was one regret for Grandpa, it might be that he didn't see what she looked like when she grew up. However, when she successfully completed Grandpa's funeral and Grandpa saw that she could stand on her own and survive, he no longer had any regrets.
After figuring it out, Hu Tao smiled and left Wuwangpo, the border between life and death. Although she did not succeed in seeing her grandfather, she also knew that her grandfather had no regrets.
From that day on, the laughing girl would walk through the streets and alleys of Liyue every night, chanting those unknown limericks.
Every night, the children of Liyue Harbor would hide in their beds in fear, fearing that this strange voice would take them away and swallow them.
During the day, Walnut would sleep in the coffin and was rarely seen during the day. In the evening, Walnut would play and fight with several children.
Hu Tao's optimism, cheerfulness and enthusiasm have helped her make many friends. Although the age gap between these friends is quite large, Hu Tao doesn't care.
In the beginning, after Hu Tao became the head of the Wangsheng Hall, the hall did not have much business because no one believed that a little girl could organize a funeral, which was such a solemn and grand event.
However, Walnut slapped them hard in the face. All the funerals that were done by Walnut ended perfectly.
No matter whether it is a mournful funeral or a happy funeral, no ceremony is omitted and every funeral satisfies the Hakkas.
Gradually, the elders of Liyue also learned that the Wangsheng Hall had an heir. Perhaps it was out of trust in the Wangsheng Hall, or perhaps it was out of respect for Mr. Hu.
When they passed away, they still chose the Wangsheng Hall to handle their funeral affairs. Of course, Hu Tao did not disappoint them. However, now she saw the corpses she had buried suddenly resurrected and attacked her.
Kurumi was also surprised for a while before she used Homa to knock them down one by one, and then put yellow talismans on them to stop their actions.
Looking at the body burning in the flames, Hu Tao's thoughts were pulled back. After making a rebirth seal, he put his hands together and bowed. At this time, bubbles began to emerge from the dark pool, and finally a large black hand stretched out, as if it was about to climb out from the bottom of the pool.
Kurumi sighed helplessly, picked up the Homa, turned around and faced the pool of water, where the abyss monster had already emerged halfway.
"During such a grand and solemn ceremony, can't you come out later? It would be better if you came out later so that I could finish the ceremony. You are really disturbing my mood if you come out now."
Walnut made a gun dance and then pointed the spear at the huge abyss monster. At this moment, the abyss monster had completely crawled out from the bottom of the pond. He looked exactly like the one in Warcraft, with terrifying fangs and a huge body.
The abyss monster hammered the ground twice, causing the entire earth to shake continuously, then kicked off with its legs and rushed towards Walnut at an extremely fast speed.
However, Walnut jumped to the side and dodged the abyss monster's charge. The abyss monster crashed into the tree behind Walnut, breaking the tree. The tree fell and hit the abyss monster. Walnut saw this and continued to stab with the protective film in his hand. Each time, it would leave a plum blossom mark on the monster's body. The plum blossom mark began to burn, causing burns to the abyss monster.
The abyss monster howled in pain, using the tree on its body as a weapon, swinging it at Walnut.
Walnut's body is very flexible. He keeps shuttling back and forth between the attacks of the abyss monster, and occasionally stabs the abyss monster once or twice with the burning Homa.
The Abyss Monster had more and more plum blossom marks on his body, and he felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker. Until his body was riddled with holes, he couldn't even lift the tree in his hand, and it knocked him to the ground again.
Walnut, who had consumed a large amount of elemental energy, was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Her originally delicate and cute little face was now pale.
After defeating the abyss monster, Walnut used the flame of the guardian demon to burn the abyss monster's body into ashes.
He leaned against the railing of the pavilion and began to regain his strength. The branches of the litchi tree were still burning and the corpse had long since turned to ashes.
Walnut's mission is not over yet. He still has to collect the ashes after burning and send them back to their "home".
When the flames died out, leaving only the glowing charcoal, Walnut circled the time in his mind, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the pavilion.
