Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!
Chapter 257 The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold 3
After dealing with the client's body, Hu Tao returned to the pavilion and stared blankly at the dark pool of water.
Her thoughts once again returned to that special dream, and she really wanted to know why she dreamed of Yang Ming from more than ten years ago.
She wanted to know more, if she appeared in the period when Yang Ming was lost more than ten years ago, why didn't Yang Ming tell her about this experience after she recovered? Was it really because she had no memory of it or was it deleted by some external force?
"Ahhh, this is really annoying. Why did you let this hall master encounter such a thing? It's so confusing. Don't you know that what this hall master hates most is the Riddler?"
After a period of madness, Walnut completely gave up the motivation to find the truth. Lazily lying on the railing, I don't know when the sky began to snow.
The snowflakes fell on Walnut's palm, quickly turned into water droplets, and slid down from Walnut's palm.
"Has it started snowing? Oh, I don't know what the situation is like outside Wuwangpo now."
Since the abyss erupted, Hu Tao came to Wuwang Slope as soon as possible, because Wuwang Slope is also a place where monsters gather, and many corpses of Liyue people are buried here.
What she was afraid of was the impact of the abyss on these corpses, so she hurried over. However, she was still a step too slow. When she arrived, all the corpses had turned into zombies.
Among these people who turned into zombies, there were several old acquaintances of Hu Tao, because they were all sent away by Hu Tao personally.
However, Hu Tao had no time to reminisce with them. After subduing them and putting talismans on them to suppress corpses, he prepared to burn them under the litchi tree.
However, after she burned the first batch of corpses and put the ashes into jars and buried them back in the pit they had crawled out of, she found that another group of corpses had crawled out of the cemetery on the other side and attacked her.
The corpses that were just burned were the eighth batch. If he continued like this, all the corpses in Wuwangpo would have to be burned cleanly.
At first she also wanted to find out the reason why these corpses turned into zombies, but no matter how hard she looked, she did not find any abyss rifts.
But the power of the abyss in these corpses cannot be faked. It can only be that the abyss is doing something behind the scenes. I just don’t know how these corpses were brought back to life.
Since he couldn't find the source of the problem, Hu Tao could only use the dumbest method, which was to suppress and burn any corpses that appeared.
After the eighth batch, almost all the corpses in Wuwangpo were burned by Hutao. But he had heard from his grandfather that Wuwangpo was not only the entrance to the ghost market, but also used the ghost market and the spiritual energy of Wuwangpo to suppress an evil creature.
One of the tasks of the Wangsheng Hall is to guard this business and prevent him from breaking the seal and causing trouble to the world. So this is also the reason why Hu Tao came to Hopeless Hill as soon as the Abyss broke out.
Her father, the 76th hall master, died in the process of suppressing evil. That day was also a full moon night. The evil tried to break the seal. His father keenly sensed the movement of the evil and came to suppress it. However, he underestimated the struggle of the evil during the suppression.
One was accidentally dragged into the seal by an evil creature. Since then, after my grandfather finished the funeral for my father, he came out of the mountain to take over the Wangsheng Hall again. The Wangsheng Hall cannot be without a master for a day.
Although Kurumi was also very interested in the suppressed evil, it was obvious that she had to suppress her curiosity in the current situation.
She was swinging her fair legs out of boredom. She let her mind wander and looked at the full moon in the sky. Snowflakes and the bright moon, what a rare sight, and today they saw it at the same time.
"That's great! It would be great if Brother Yang Ming was here. I could watch the snow and the moon with him. Where on earth did Brother Yang Ming go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Hu Tao fell asleep while thinking about it. She was really too tired. Since coming to Wuwangpo, he had hardly any rest. Every day he was either collecting branches from the lychee tree or fighting zombies.
She really needed to have a good rest now that she had nothing to do. Just when Hu Tao fell asleep, wisps of black smoke suddenly emerged from the dark pool of water.
The black smoke sank into the cliff beside the pool, and the entire cliff began to shake and tremble as the black smoke blew into it.
The rocks slid down from the top of the mountain and fell into the pool, making a loud noise. Kurumi was awakened instantly, holding the Homa and looking around vigilantly.
However, apart from the shaking of the mountain, Hu Tao did not notice any danger around her. At this moment, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. Hu Tao turned around and saw a crack suddenly appeared on the originally smooth cliff. This crack looked very much like the intersection of life and death that she had seen when she was a child.
However, the breath coming out from inside made Kurumi's alarm bells ring. Although she was very young at the time, she clearly remembered that the light she felt from the entrance to the boundary between life and death was warm and soft.
But at the moment, this crack gave her only a chilling coldness. After taking a deep breath, Walnut walked towards the crack with her spear in hand. The sound of the demon's gun burned and illuminated the entrance.
It was not much different from the crack she walked through when she was a child. There was a constant flow of negative energy from it, making Hu Tao feel extremely uncomfortable.
But Hu Tao still planned to go in and take a look. After all, if there was any danger, even if she didn't go in now, something else might run out of the crack later.
If he went in, he would have to fight. If he didn't go in, he would have to fight too. So he might as well go in and satisfy his curiosity. Just to eliminate the potential danger, with the illumination of the Homa, Kurumi began to explore the crack little by little.
The crack is very narrow. If it was her child, it might have been just right, but she has grown up now and has grown a lot taller, so the hole seems a little narrow.
After walking for a while, Hu Tao could only walk forward hunched over, the Yin Qi constantly washing over her body. If it weren't for the elemental power and the protection of the Lord of the Rebirth Hall, she would have been frozen stiff by the Yin Qi.
The further he went inside, the thicker the yin energy became. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in front of him. Hu Tao hurried forward. Soon he reached the light, which was an extremely small hole. He knocked on the wall, which was very thin and brittle. He only needed a little force to break it.
Kurumi pulled back the Homa in his hand and stabbed at the stone wall without hesitation. With a loud noise, the entire stone wall collapsed, revealing the inside.
It is magnificent inside, with many golden bodies of Asuras, each with a green face and fangs and six arms. Each of the six arms holds a different magical weapon, including a demon-subduing pestle, a sword, and a demon-subduing staff.
Hu Tao counted them and found that there were six golden statues of Asuras in total, forming a circle. The surface of the circle was engraved with countless complex runes from the outside to the inside, and there was an altar in the center of the circle.
Thick yin energy continued to pour out from the altar. The yin energy was so thick that even Asura, with his yang energy in this life, could not completely suppress it.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the mountain keeps shaking. Hu Tao was puzzled. Since she entered this strange space, the shaking of the mountain seemed to have stopped.
Walnut looked around this space curiously. This was a place where evil spirits were sealed. Usually, there was only one golden body of Asura in a place where evil spirits were sealed. Only a big demon would use one. There were many Asuras, but this altar alone used six golden bodies of Asura to suppress them.
It can be seen how powerful the evil demon sealed below is, but at the same time, what Hu Tao doesn’t understand is that in Teyvat, besides the demon, what other existence is there that is worthy of being sealed with six Asuras?
It immediately touched upon Hu Tao's blind spot in knowledge. Of course, it was not Hu Tao's fault. Although the collection of books in the Wangsheng Hall was much richer than those of other inherited families of Li Yue, these ancient books were like heavenly books to Hu Tao.
She only read books that interested her, and most of them were just glanced at and thrown aside. He was not Zhongli, who could hold a book and read it for a whole day.
But now, Hu Tao had to admit that sometimes reading more books was indeed very useful. For example, now when she encountered something she didn't know, she was completely speechless.
Hu Tao carefully checked the seal and the six golden bodies of Asura and found that the six golden bodies of Asura were not damaged and the seal was still relatively stable. Since there was nothing wrong here, Hu Tao planned to return the same way.
However, just as he turned around, a wisp of black smoke sank into the altar in the center at an extremely fast speed. Walnut keenly noticed the wisp of black smoke, and when he turned around, the thick yin energy directly blew away the altar.
The runes on the ground began to emit golden light and formed a golden shield, which put the altar back in place. However, there seemed to be something below that was constantly impacting the altar.
Seeing this, Hu Tao threw the Homa in her hand out without any hesitation. The Homa stood above the altar. The rich fire elemental power began to cooperate with the surrounding inscriptions, with the Homa, the weapon of the successive masters of the Xisheng Hall, as the core of the formation.
With the help of the inscriptions on the ground and the surrounding walls, it might be possible to repair the formation and then seal the evil spirit.
Her demon-protecting staff was indeed a magical weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Wangsheng Hall, but compared to the altar, it was still a little inferior.
Soon, it could not withstand the impact of the inscriptions and the Yin energy and returned to Hu Tao's hands. Without Homa as the center of the formation, the inscriptions could only flow into the cave entrance, hoping to block the cave entrance again with the inscriptions.
The Yin Qi kept gushing out like a tide, washing over the inscriptions. The light of some inscriptions had begun to dim. At this moment, the six golden bodies of Asura suddenly opened their eyes, their scarlet pupils, just like the arrival of the real Asura. The weapons in their hands began to hit the unknown creatures below.
Then, there were sharp roars coming from below the words, which made Hu Tao shudder. Without any hesitation, she immediately retreated.
It was not conducive for her to perform in such a small place. If Asura had not suppressed the evil spirit in this life, the Yin Qi alone would have made Hu Tao unable to move in such a small place, so Hu Tao could only withdraw first. Of course, he did not put all his hopes on the six golden statues of Asura.
Soon Hu Tao returned along the same route and came back to Wuwangpo. When she just came out of the crack, the whole mountain began to shake and large pieces of rocks kept rolling down. One of the huge rocks blew up the entire pavilion. Hu Tao kept dodging. After an unknown amount of time, the shaking of the mountain gradually subsided.
Thick yin energy continued to pour out from the crack, and Walnut looked into the depths of the hole with some uncertainty, but found that there was no movement.
"Could it be that Ashura has suppressed the evil demon in this life? That should be the case, right? Otherwise, why is there no movement at all?"
"The Asura Golden Body should also be the product of an immortal. After all, aren't Asura, Rakshasa, and Yaksha all races from the ancient Liyue period?"
Just when Hu Tao thought he was safe, the negative energy of the entire Wuwang Slope began to flow into the crack like a whale. Not only that, the surrounding trees were also withering rapidly, as if their vitality was absorbed by something.
This suction force also acted on Kurumi's body, and Kurumi felt as if her life force was being absorbed by something. At this moment, the Homa began to burn again, and the clothes of the head of the Wangsheng Hall on her body began to emit a faint light.
The absorption of vitality has stopped, but the powerful suction force is still plundering the vitality of the entire mountain range. If it continues to absorb like this, the entire Qingce Village will be sucked into a dead end.
However, Hu Tao could only watch from the sidelines and could do nothing. What Hu Tao could be sure of was that the seal of Ashura's golden body had failed, and the evil demons sealed in Wuwang Slope and under the ghost market had broken through the seal.
"Oh, it looks like we're in trouble now. How about we run first? We can go to Tianheng Mountain to find some help. But the seal shouldn't break down sooner or later, but it has to break down at this time."
"The abyss is already difficult to deal with, and then there's an evil demon whose strength is unknown."
Walnut knew that this evil demon was not something she could deal with, so she decisively went down the mountain and wanted to go to Tianheng Mountain to seek help. This evil demon had been sealed for a thousand years and still had such power. If the Abyss was added, Teyvat might have another powerful opponent.
Therefore, he must be dealt with before he has any contact with the abyss. On the way down the mountain, Hu Tao kept thinking about who he could find to suppress this evil demon again.
After thinking about it, the only person I can think of is Xiao. After all, Xiao is the Great Demon Subduer. If he takes action, there will definitely be a way.
If you want to summon Xiao, you must go to Dihuazhou first. Wuwangpo is not under the jurisdiction of Dihuazhou.
