"So fast?"
Hu Tao felt only wisps of warmth coming from her body, and then there was the solid feeling of stepping on the ground. When she opened her eyes again, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
Not far away from the two of them was a cave entrance emitting light yellow warm light. Hutao glanced at Famas's waist strangely, and then nodded in understanding.
The Eye of God used by Famas to disguise itself shimmered red, while the Evil Eye hidden around his waist had a dim appearance.
"As Munata's general, it is normal and reasonable for me to have a fire-element God's Eye."
Famas spread his hands, then patted Walnut's little head, and then strode towards the light source.
"snort……"
Hutao touched the hexagonal hat on his head, flashed out of the shadows like a butterfly, and caught up with Famas in front.
The two gradually stepped into a huge space exposed to strong light.
Famas squinted his eyes slightly, waiting for his pupils to adapt to the light, and then carefully observed the "place between life and death" that he had long sensed.
He was standing in front of a dead tree trunk, with golden light like the setting sun in the sky, surrounded by smoke and clouds, and mountains. In front of him, an arch bridge made of bluestone spanned both banks of the Yun River, and the banks were full of red flowers. .
"This is the border."
Hu Tao took a long breath and began to look around, as if searching for something.
Although he knew that there would not be the fat old man he was looking forward to here, Hu Tao would still subconsciously look around every time he returned to the border.
"Over there is the sea of flowers on the other side."
"From the place where the earth's veins are disordered, walk up the Huangquan Road. Walking all the way down, you will see a sea of red flowers."
"The weather here is always dusk. The sea of flowers on the other side is the road to rebirth. If you walk through the sea of flowers, reach the intersection at the end, and cross over, you will be reborn."
Hu Tao tried her best to smile, but she couldn't hide her disappointed look.
"Is this the place of the dead?"
Famas gently pressed his palm on the dead ancient tree of earth veins, quietly feeling the surge coming from the earth.
In the Munata he controls, death is not scary, whether it is the old grass god who can directly fish the dead souls from the earth's veins, or the gold that uses alchemy to reshape the body, or even the half-human, half-machine combat soldiers.
The Fire Nation has countless ways to heal and resurrect wounded and fallen soldiers.
Naturally, there is no place where life and death meet in Munata. Only souls burned out in battle cannot be resurrected.
What he saw along the way did give Famas some new ideas.
"The existence of the border is not a secret, but it is not suitable to tell the world."
"It's okay for people with the Eye of God. If ordinary people don't have the magic to add them, they will have problems if they stay here for a long time."
"Even a spirit body cannot stay here for a long time, otherwise it will lose its memory and become confused."
The breeze from nowhere blew the stamens of the flowers outside Yunhai. The buds close to Famas had already bloomed, and the red flowers bloomed a coquettish bright red.
"Those soldiers, those who have been stationed at the border for a long time, must find a way to put them to rest."
"So you and Zhongli found me?"
Famas and Hutao moved forward, bypassing the ancient trees supporting the heaven and earth.
"Ahem... You are from Munata, so you probably don't know very well. What the Purity Hall did in the beginning was not funerals, but work similar to that of a doctor."
Hu Tao put her hands behind her back and kicked forward.
"During the Demon God War, corpses littered the fields, lives were devastated, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and death crazily invaded our world of the living."
"At that time, the Hall of Rebirth was born. As an insignificant human being, it spent a long time driving the plague back."
Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes dimmed, as if she was thinking of the lives lost due to illness.
Famas's fists clenched and then unclenched.
As far as he knew, Liyue had also been infected by the plague, and Morax and Gui Zhong had used their powerful divine power to control the spread of the plague and curse, and survived the cruel demon war.
"A long time passed, Liyue Port prospered, everyone was chasing fame and Mora, and finally, crazy people touched the legacy of death."
"The devil's remnants are raging in the world. I won't mention the specifics. In short, it is the self-destruction of being born at the extreme, and it is also the backlash of dying at the end."
"It took a long, long time after that for the balance to be restored and the boundaries to be drawn, and then there was the Liyue Port, the Rebirth Hall... and me that you see today."
Hu Tao's eyes became blurred and began to wander.
"It turns out that the idle Hall Master Hu can also tell such a serious story."
Famas crossed his arms, looked at some illusory spirits on the roadside, and then looked at the girl beside him jokingly.
"Hey, these are the things that the old hall master likes to talk about most. I think I can talk about them better than them."
"Forget it if you don't understand. The Hall of Rebirth is in the funeral business, nothing more."
Hu Tao puffed up her cheeks in annoyance and took a deep breath.
"It's almost time. Come with me and take you to the place where the flames burn!"
Hearing another new word, Famas asked curiously: "Where is that place?"
"That's where those Munata soldiers are staying! I just thought of a name, so don't ask every word, okay?"
Hu Tao led the way, reaching out from time to time to pick red flowers blooming in the sea of clouds, and put them in his pocket.
These red flower flowers only grow at the border between life and death. After being removed from the rhizomes, they are air-dried, painted, oiled, outlined with skillful brushstrokes, and then left to dry for three days. They can be turned into exquisite ornaments that can be preserved for a long time.
The tentacles are like soft mist and have a delicate fragrance.
Under the leadership of Hu Tao, the two set foot on a suspension bridge that spanned the sea of clouds with no end in sight.
The light of dusk gradually disappeared, replaced by dark gray clouds that filled the sky. The towering stone pillars in the depths of the sea of clouds stood as still as strong pines, with quite a momentum that penetrated the universe.
An illusory male figure wearing tattered armor was standing in the middle of the bridge, frowning at the billowing clouds under the bridge.
Her short, pale wolf-tailed hair was spread loosely on her underwear, which was painted with exotic patterns and full of pleats. There are traces of repair hidden under the deep color, with a bit of ancient charm, which seems to have been out of touch with the times for a long time, but it is gentle and long-lasting.
The pair of gray-white eyes were extremely shining, and above the pupils, a pair of sharp horns stood proudly. Unfortunately, a large part of the left branch of the horns was broken off.
What's even more shocking is that this man with a resolute face has a huge scar on the left side of his face.
Walnut and Famas walked through the fog and came to the man.
The man on the bridge also noticed the two of them. He calmly raised his head and stared at the coming people in the distance, waiting for them to approach with a keen eye.
