"Hallmaster Hu... why not let me lead the way."
Feeling Hu Tao's slightly stiff movements, Famas gently patted the girl in front of him on the shoulder.
There was no moonlight in the Wuwanpo night, and the blue phosphorus fire in the hazy mist served as the only light source, illuminating the walnut-plum blossom eyes.
But at this moment, Hall Master Hu's face only had a serious look that was completely inconsistent with his usual look.
"Ah! Hey... do you know the route to the boundary between life and death?"
Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Hutao turned around in surprise, just in time to see Famas stop in front of him, bending slightly to look at him closely.
"Of course, let alone the border between life and death, I have even been to the other side."
Famas put his hands behind his back in a funny way.
Although the perception of the depths of the earth's veins is limited, it is still easy to find a secret place somewhere.
As for the other side, Famas refers to the Kingdom of God and the Cave Heaven created by the seven rulers of the world, as well as the out-of-reach Sky Island suspended on the continent of Teyvat.
As one of the few powerful gods during the Demon God War, and once possessing the heart of God connected with the Heavenly Law, Famas naturally also visited the Sky Island and accepted the Heavenly Law's order.
"Mr. Famas...actually been to the other side!?"
Hutao's eyes widened, and she subconsciously thought that the boy in red was joking. While she was muttering to herself, she suddenly felt a cold feeling on her face. The blue will-o'-the-wisps wherever she looked gradually disappeared, and the winding road shrouded in white mist stretched. to the end.
The strong wind howled and the thunder sounded, interrupting Hu Tao's words.
"Isn't it going to rain?"
Hutao raised his head and looked at the sky: "The sky here has always been so gloomy. I can't tell if it's a dark cloud..."
After the words fell, a few drops of water followed, and the dense pine needles on the ground made a crackling sound.
"Wow, it really rained!"
"The entrance is right in front!"
What a coincidence.
Hutao secretly thought it strange in his heart that Wuwangpo was full of resentment. It was originally a place where even the dark clouds would not gather, but today it seemed as if something was preventing the two of them from entering the borderland between life and death.
Keeping silently reciting the exorcism order in his heart, Hutao took Famas's hand and ran towards the destination bravely.
Fortunately, after the wind picked up, the white fog in Wuwang Slope dispersed a lot.
It was just that the rain and the storm hit together, like countless thin needles pricking Hutao's body. She had no choice but to raise her hands and bend her arms in front of her face to defend herself, in order to relieve the pain caused by the rain.
Famas calmly mobilized the fire elements and opened the shield to block most of the rain and dead branches and leaves blown by the strong wind.
Finally, the two people braved the violent storm and got into a passage and stepped into the huge circular corridor that had collapsed.
Looking around with the faint light, Famas found a pile of extinguished firewood and unused dry wood not far away. Maybe someone had been stationed before and left in a hurry for some reason.
Their clothes were full of water, and the wind blew in from time to time in the broken parts of the corridor, making Hu Tao shiver with cold.
"This is what I left behind. It was originally a place where food was cooked..."
Hu Tao took out the flint he carried with him and started to light a fire.
Catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits along the way consumed a lot of elemental power. With the rain and wind blowing, Hu Tao cautiously wanted to retain his power and chose the simplest way to start a fire.
Hutao, who was squatting half-crouched, had wet brown hair spread out. He obediently hid the hexagonal hat in his arms and placed it against his fair skin that was illuminated by the warm light of the fire.
The water droplets falling from the roots of her hair slid across her bright and cunning plum blossom pupils and chin, and melted into the brown collar of her clothes.
The rain gave Hutao's already beautiful face a gentle temperament that was different from the weird one.
But no one appreciated such a beautiful picture. Famas focused on the gravel and road in the corridor.
Except for the walkable passages, the corridors connect the existing floors above and below, looking like relics of an ancient civilization.
Unfortunately, these doors and passages are all blocked by rubble.
The rocky ceiling of the corridor emits strange light, and it is impossible to determine the direction of these light sources. After a long time, this buried behemoth still maintains its original outline standing here, unmoving.
If your memory is correct, you can find the way to the boundary between life and death by walking around the corridor a few times.
The sound of fire burning through wood sounded in his ears, and Famas turned his head. In front of him was the dancing firelight, and the walnuts that he carefully placed the Hunyuan hexagonal hat on the side of the flame to dry.
The firewood slowly dissipated the damp chill on her body. She placed her hat next to the chair made of logs. Hall Master Hu opened the back of his robe without any scruples, clenching his fists and trying to wring out the water droplets on his clothes.
Spreading her auburn twin-tailed hair, Hutao was still muttering some song in her mouth, looking in a very good mood.
Naturally, Famas didn't get wet, and just stared at the humming Hutao silently.
He had long known that what he was going to see was the Munata warrior buried in Liyue.
But what should you say after meeting?
How should he explain to the soldiers who died that he lost the war and also lost the entire Munata and their relatives and friends.
Hutao obviously didn't see Famas's thoughts. She saw him come back to his senses from the stone wall in the corridor. The girl, whose clothes were half dry, adjusted the hat on her head. A burst of red butterflies rose around her body, touching the golden light.
After a few butterflies flickered, she appeared directly in front of Famas, looking up at the pensive young man in red.
"Mr. Famas!"
Hutao raised his palm and waved it in front of the young man's eyes.
Famas just frowned, and the red butterfly shone in front of him, spreading out the walnut's exquisite body.
Beside them are butterflies that are fading away.
"Are you okay? Do you want to warm up by the fire..."
Famas still had no reaction.
"Eh...you're not stupid because you got caught in the rain, are you?"
Walnut muttered as she sensed something unusual.
Although there was no trace of moisture on Famas's body, Walnut still reached out to touch Famas's body out of concern, intending to use the fire element to help him evaporate any water stains that might be hidden on his clothes.
"Wutao, I'm fine."
Sensing the restless fire element, Famas lowered his head helplessly and grabbed Hall Master Hu's wrist.
Hall Master Hu was well-known as an eccentric person in Liyue. Although he was helping him evaporate the water vapor out of good intentions, Famas still felt that there was no need to use it when looking at the large amount of unstable fire elements condensed on Hu Tao's hand. Such a grumpy way.
Facing Famas's bottomless eyes, Hutao suddenly froze for a moment, and wanted to get closer to Famas's hands to freeze. As if he knew what the boy in red was thinking, he took out his palms and nodded with a groan.
"Hmph~ Okay then! Next we have to go to the real boundary between life and death!"
After saying that, the girl jumped lightly and stood on the higher pile of gravel. Her hands painted with black khaodan were behind her back, one foot was slightly raised, her eyes were squinted, and she looked down at Famas.
"The night will eventually come, and similarly, tomorrow's sunrise will still come."
"Right? Lord General of Munata!"
In response to Famas's melodious call, Walnut's reddish-brown ponytail whipped up in an arc, tiny hairs in twos and threes fluttered with the wind, and the open corners of his clothes flew up.
Knowing that Hutao was comforting himself, Famas crossed his arms and strode forward with a smile on his face.
As he passed by the girl, he whispered a few words in her ear:
"Well, that's a good point."
"But your collar is not fastened."
"The bellyband is exposed."
