Xia Xia pretended to fight again, and Hu Tao hurriedly covered her head and closed her eyes... It was so cute that it made people unable to fight.

"Then how can you be so relieved? Those who came with you, I'm afraid they won't last long, right?"

They are all ordinary people without the eyes of God, so I'm afraid they can't be of much help.

Hu Tao raised two fingers: "So, we have always had a rule in the Hall of Rebirth that we can't stay in Wuwangpo for twelve hours."

Speaking of which, the time can't be delayed any longer: "No more chatting, we have to prepare for the ceremony quickly. If big brother doesn't mind, come help!"

help? Shouldn't it be to carry the coffin?

Chapter 465: The Dead Liyue Seven Stars

In fact, I didn't let Xia Xia help me, I just picked up some dry firewood and stacked it on a special platform for burning.

Appears to be ready for cremation.

Two thousand years ago, at the end of the Demon God War, the plague raged among the villages along with the invasion of evil spirits.

At that time, people were still accustomed to burials or water burials, which resulted in neither the earth nor the waters escaping the doom of pollution.

More and more people are infected, and more and more people die. Tragedy is repeated, and one step at a time, they are in a desperate situation.

As a result, some people dared to take the risk of the world and proposed "cremation", a practice that went against the traditional thinking of the world, and finally persuaded the officials and gods at the top.

The gods authorized officials to organize a team of priests specializing in cremation, and the "Rebirth Hall" was born.

Of course, cremation is good, and summer is also a supporter of cremation.

But he was very surprised. Hearing Hu Tao's tone and rhetoric, this person in the coffin should be a very important person, and may have a pivotal position in Liyue.

Most of the wealthy and powerful people wish to build a palace as a tomb.

Summer is really curious about being so open-minded and rich.

With respect for the deceased, of course he wouldn't open it up to see it, and even if he saw it, he probably wouldn't recognize it.

Xia Tian touched Hu Tao and asked softly, "Who is this gold master?"

Hu Tao also has a serious side to work. She is preparing the eulogy that will be used later, and is reciting with her eyes closed.

Hearing the question, he deliberately opened one eye.

"Life Hall has a non-disclosure agreement with customers, how can the identity of the guest be disclosed at will? Besides, this guest has always been low-key, and even the funeral did not disturb too many people..."

One after another, Xia Xia nodded straight after speaking, even showing apology, sincerely realizing that he shouldn't ask casually.

But then, Hu Tao suddenly changed her tone: "But this client shouldn't matter, right?"

"Quietly tell you..." Hu Tao pouted her little butt, crossed her hands, lay on Xian Xia's shoulders, raised her chin to be next to his ear, and her thin red lips were suspected of secretly kissing the pinna.

Between speaking and breathing, it tickles his ears.

"He's... Liyue Qixing!" Hu Tao deliberately lengthened the tone.

"Liyue Qixing!?" Xia Tian's eyes widened and he almost shouted.

He turned his head and stared at the black coffin and the surrounding firewood... Liyue Qixing just burned like this?

In Xia Xia's perception, Liyue Qixing must be considered a national leader. The death of a big man of this level, not to mention the national mourning, is at least a big news.

Summer has been in Liyue for so long, and you haven't heard of it?

"Haha." Hu Tao also laughed, stretched out her finger and poked Xia Tian's cheek: "Look at the way you were frightened, you don't look like the hero who saved Liyue at all!"

Xia Xia rolled her eyes at her: "Then make it clear, don't deliberately hide key information, and be careful of being accused of being a headliner."

Writer of sensational headlines? Walnut doesn't understand.

She explained: "This old man is the last Liyue Qixing. After he abdicated, his health has been bad, and he has been in pain for a long time."

Hu Tao touched the cold black coffin with both hands and sighed, "I'm finally free now, I'm really happy for him..."

...From a certain point of view, the death of the former Seven Stars can indeed be regarded as a relief, but it is too awkward to be happy about this.

While talking to Xia Tian, ​​Hu Tao was still memorizing the eulogy.

Seeing that the ceremonial maid had already placed the funeral utensils in place, she stood up, raised the honor guard in her hand, and greeted the accompanying maid of honor: "Okay, ready to start work!"

The four servants of ceremonies obeyed the instructions and stood at the four corners of the black coffin, with their hands on the edge of the coffin lid, and pushed down hard.

According to convention, when burning, the lid of the coffin should be pushed halfway open, so as to ensure that the flame can fully burn the interior.

When it comes to work, Xia Xia doesn't get involved. He goes to the side honestly and looks at Walnut's serious appearance.

She treats death both jokingly and seriously.

Holding the spear-like honor guard in his hand, the flame ignited the top, then went around to light the brazier, and finally returned to the center.

The flames illuminated the surroundings, and a shallow pool could be seen not far away, with blue flames floating above it.

huh—

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

Those blue flames were instantly blown away, and the brazier used for lighting around was directly overturned.

Huhu——

The rustling of the woods and the sound of the wind coming from the cave in the high mountains on the back were like a baby crying.

Jie Jie——

It can be described as a gloomy wind, which makes people fall.

These winds are very strange. They are not tailwinds in the same direction, but come from all directions... Their target, their meeting point, is the corpse of the big man.

Thinking of Hu Tao saying that there are many souls around that ordinary people can't see or touch, are these illogical winds the same souls?

Then...they wanted to occupy that corpse?

This is a bit too terrifying, it seems to have changed from the original magical world to a more complicated fantasy.

Looking at Hu Tao next to him, the usual playful smile has disappeared.

With a serious face, she immediately drove the flames, literally encircling a wall of fire to protect everyone.

Although the human eye cannot see the soul body, the detached elemental force can still threaten them.

"Are they going to **** the corpse?" Xia Xiankai asked, "Are these spirits who have been wandering around for so many years, can they still be resurrected?"

It is impossible to imagine how this world would be chaotic and how many terrible things would have happened if this were possible.

Hu Tao shook his head: "The corpse and the soul are already matched together. Even if you forcibly invade the unfamiliar human body, you can't keep it for a long time. Naturally, there is no snatch, let alone the body that has died..."

Saying so, but without the slightest relaxation on her face, she knows that things are not so simple: "Of course, this is just an ordinary soul..."

But, is the current situation really normal?

I still can't see the specific soul body, but I can sense the grievances that fill the surroundings. These souls who haven't been reborn are inherently unwilling to the world, and they only need a little more negative energy to drive them crazy.

The pollution from the dark sea is the biggest negative energy.

What can they do now in summer? Is it relying on elemental power to passively defend?

To maintain this range of fire circles, Hu Tao needs to consume a lot of magic power, and she can no longer be distracted: "If it is true that there are other evil spirits polluting these souls, as the immortal said, then they must have a plan, right? will come against us who are trying to stop..."

"It looks like there's no need to wait..." Xia Xia stared straight ahead, at the shallow water just mentioned.

Those light blue ghost fires that originally floated on the lake were swaying in the wind.

In the end, it turned into a humanoid soul body.

Chapter 466 I am here to save the beauty from the hero

The faint ghosts and fires take the shape of human beings, old and young, just from the scene, they really infiltrate people.

But in the end, it's just a spiritual body, between the virtual and the real, and it has almost no fighting power.

As long as you are not inexplicably possessed... In fact, even if you are possessed, it is a battle of souls. How can a lonely ghost fight against the self-consciousness of a home battle?

Therefore, their purpose is just the remains of the seven stars, or the infestation of demons makes them think that they can get a short life after getting the remains, to resolve the unwillingness and resentment in their hearts...

A bunch of poor guys.

And Hu Tao, as the head of the Hall of Rebirth, of course would not allow the client's body to be harmed.

She wants to maintain the reputation and glory of the hall of death.

The indefatigable and indefatigable spirit body rushed towards the fire curtain unfolded by the walnut, and could see the rising white mist, which represented complete dissipation.

The spirit body is not invincible, and it can also be killed.

But what concept of "death" can a dead thing have? They were just invaded by evil thoughts, got a hint of something strange, and rushed over frantically.

The walnut clenched the ceremonial guard like a spear in his hand. The burning crimson flame was not only the elemental force driven by the eye of the gods, but also the "uninhibited fire" blessed by gods and immortals during the war between demons and gods. It can burn up everything. The bond to "life".

"The Hall of Rebirth" is the "healer" of the dead. It washes away all unclean things with blazing flames, so that the filth and the light of fire rise to the high heaven that can accommodate everything.

This kind of ritual used to light up the firewood all over the mainland during the watering season, raising the wolf smoke of seeking blessings and warding off evil spirits.

This fiery ritual was once prevalent in the age of ancient disputes.

Because the delusions and dreams of the silent gods will be turned into evil miasma, and will take away the people who no longer belong to them and the son of man who did not belong to them.

At that time, the healer who rescued the dead heard a low groan in the sound of the fat boiling and the withered grass cracking from the blazing fire in the twilight.

"Only unbridled fire can purify the filth of heaven and earth."

"Please raise Zhu Chi's firewood to drive away all evil spirits."

The ancestors of the Remnant Hall held the demon-red cane and ignited the things that were contaminated with evil.

Those who have been entangled in bad karma and disasters, and those who have not been able to bear the deep sorrow, will turn into ashes in the fire, free from all misfortunes and wounds in the turbid world.

And the doctor who ignited countless piles of firewood, legend has it, eventually turned into smoke like flying butterflies...

Even if this ritual is forgotten with peace and time, in front of the dark Mingwei, those with fire in their hearts can always hear it.

The dazzling dance of fire whispers: Only unbridled flames can purify the world...

Over the years, Rebirth Hall has always kept this mission in mind.

As the seventy-seventh hall master, the walnut, holding the red firewood in his hand... The "Goma Staff", which has been passed down from generation to generation, represents the hall master's identity.

The flame that has been passed down for thousands of years has mercilessly evaporated the soul.

However, the number of spirit bodies has not decreased, on the contrary, there is an increasing trend.

The always smiling walnut has a painful face.

Not only because of excessive consumption, but also because of the sadness of these souls leaving.

The reason why the soul stays is because there is still hope for the world, or it is unwilling, or resentment, or love and grace...

When these expectations are fulfilled, forgotten, or erased, the soul will be liberated and sublimated, and will enter into reincarnation and reincarnation.

This is what Hu Tao and his ancestors have been doing all the time, hoping that these lonely souls can return to the place of life and death without any worries as much as possible.

However... when the "uninhibited fire" devours the spirit body, the powerful flame will not pay attention to the remaining thoughts of the spirit body at all, and will only cruelly and forcefully take them away.

This is not the reincarnation advocated by the Resurrection Hall, this is just a simple killing... Hu Tao apologizes for this, and feels sad for it.

Xia Xia didn't understand Hu Tao's heart and grief, but he could see the tight brows and the pretty face that no longer had dimples.

The walnut, who didn't smile, seemed to be missing something.

He held Walnut's staff, felt the flames burning in his palm, and said quite manly, "Leave it to me next!"

Hu Tao squeezed a little smile and shook her head: "It's not good to be a hero at this time! Leave it to professionals! Deal with them... I'm a professional!"

"Dealing with spirit bodies, walnuts are of course professional, and no one understands better than walnuts!" Xia Xia did not hesitate to praise him, and pointed out: "But our enemies are not ignorant of these things, they are simply used and The spirits that agitate, but the evil spirits that use these spirits as tools."

He pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Although I only know a little about demons, I have killed one or two!"

These souls are only contaminated by evil spirits, and the real sinners have not yet appeared.

No one knows how many souls there are around here. As a place where life and death meet, there are too many.

Continue to continue, I am afraid that if the walnuts are burned, it will not be able to solve the current predicament.

Since the fire element can affect the spiritual body, other elemental forces should also be able to do so, right?

Xia Xia stopped in front of Hu Tao and motioned her to narrow the circle of flames: "You have to protect those employees who come with you."
