"Hey, have you heard that there seems to be some unrest outside Liyue Port City recently?"
"Ah? What's wrong? It's not like you've been listening to too many books and your mind is not clear, right?"
The friend who was chatting suddenly had a confused look on his face: "For ordinary people like us, how can you know that there is not much peace outside the city recently?"
"No, you have to believe me, it's really not peaceful outside."
My friend was anxious: "Isn't everyone in the city saying recently that the trees outside Liyue Port have basically turned into spirits and will sneak into the city in the middle of the night to catch people and eat them. Don't you actually know about such a major event?"
"ha?"
Another person looked his fat friend up and down: "Then why haven't you been arrested yet? Logically speaking, arresting you will definitely give you enough food for a day."
"Listen carefully, you bastard!"
(╬￣俣)=○
"It is said that those trees that have become spirits will suck those people dry, then install them in cages made of branches and vines and hang them on the trees to intimidate other creatures and tell them that this is their territory!"
"Well, don't tell me that you have really seen it."
"how do you know!"
...
Nonsense, if you hadn't seen it before, how could you have laid the groundwork for so many strange things and prepared to show them off in front of me.
"Let me tell you, that night, after I drank a little wine, I wanted to go outside and enjoy the cool breeze in the mountains."
The fat friend looked at his companion with a mysterious face: "Then I saw vines coming out from all directions, and directly trapped a skinny man in!"
"real or fake?"
Although my friend prefers these mythical things, he has not been able to speak big words since he was a child, which in a sense can be regarded as a virtue.
"Really, how could I lie to you in this way? If you still don't believe it, let's go out and have a look tonight!"
"Thank you Bu Min, you are not afraid of death but I am."
Such conversations are the norm in Liyue Port these days. As a port of thousands of sailors and merchants, everything big and small will basically have something to do with business.
However, some Liyue legends involving traditional culture have disappeared in this era.
And now that such a "lone seedling" suddenly pops up, it will naturally attract everyone's attention.
"Ding ding~ Guest, all the coffins you ordered in our Rebirth Hall have arrived. They are all made of high-quality wood."
"If it's convenient, please give the wise, beautiful, kind and lovely Master of the Past Life Hall a hundred times the price."
(ノ￣▽￣)
Hu Tao glanced at the dozens of coffins neatly arranged next to her, walked briskly to Gu Sanqiu's side, and poked the other person's cheek with her finger.
"Sanqiu, it's such a rare good thing that you still remember me. This hall master is so moved that I almost cried."
"With so many coffins, this is already a big business that we haven't seen in a long time at the Rebirth Hall!"
"Strictly speaking, you don't do any big business at the Rebirth Hall on a regular basis. This is what Qixing should be thankful for."
Gu Sanqiu ignored Hutao who was playing with him as a balloon, but calmly raised his hand, and carried a mummy into the coffin with green vines and paper strips. At the same time, he nailed the coffin lid and attached the incense and paper strips.
The unique spell of the Rebirth Hall.
Well, the main purpose is to prevent these strange things from harming ordinary people after rising from the corpse. They are not weak, and they will only become more powerful after becoming walking zombies.
"Sanqiu, why don't you just cremate them directly? It would be so convenient."
Hu Tao tilted his head and thought carefully for a while: "Wouldn't this be better for you? After all, there are so many people and so many coffins, and this is a peaceful era."
"Cremation? This kind of thing is not within the scope of my knowledge."
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "How can the gold content of an urn be as high as that of a coffin board? Are you right?"
"you mean......"
At the same time, somewhere in Liyue Port, several well-dressed and well-built people were angrily beating everything in the room.
Tea bowls, antiques, chairs, landscape stones...oh, it seems like this thing can't be smashed.
"What exactly does that brat want to do? Don't we know what he thinks he has planned?"
"If we don't save people, in the end no one will dare to sacrifice their lives for us. Everyone will think that we are the kind of bastards who don't care about the lives of our men. How will we gain a foothold in Liyue Port by then!"
"Then continue to send people. We have joined forces. We don't believe that a young man can make any trouble. This is Liyue Port that is protected by law. He, a Hong Kong official, does not dare to mess around!"
"Protected by the law? Haha, do you believe it? Once this matter is revealed, it will be the other party who will be protected by the law."
The quarrel is still going on, or it could be said that it started when Gu Sanqiu spread the supernatural legend that "trees eat people".
They knew what Gu Sanqiu wanted to do, and the other party also understood that if they really wanted to kill all these people, the loss would only be a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the other party did not choose revenge in the conventional sense, but chose a heart-breaking strategy!
These people are there. Someone will die every day. Every day, subordinates who are looking forward to being rescued by their bosses and high-level bosses will die with resentment. Can you save them?
People from other forces are watching your actions, and the other subordinates in your force are still watching you, wanting to see if the senior officials they work for regard them as human beings. Can you save them?
Although strictly speaking, most of the guys at the top may not regard their hard-working subordinates at the bottom as human beings, but they still need to create a fig leaf.
What they were discussing now was how to save people, but for Gu Sanqiu, how could he allow these guys more time to think about countermeasures?
"Report——"
A servant knocked on the door outside: "Master, a large number of coffins appeared in the courtyard of the house for no reason. Someone has been sent over to ask for countermeasures. What should we do!"
"What!"
An aristocratic gentleman suddenly stood up, and at the signal of others, he called his servant into the room.
"Tell me in detail what happened!"
"Master, Master, I can't give you details."
The servant's lips trembled: "Those coffins appeared out of thin air. If they hadn't escaped quickly, they might have broken several people's legs."
"There is also the Gu family's unique corpse seal on it, but the talisman on it is slowly disappearing!"
"Master, make up your mind quickly. Now the guards and worshipers at home have surrounded the coffin. If there is no other way, we will have to report it to the official. Human lives are at stake, Master!"
What!
Cold sweat broke out on the noble man's forehead in an instant. They knew what the corpse-suppressing mark was. If that kind of thing really came out of his home, this alone would be enough to give him a headache!
Moreover, the disappearing corpse-suppressing seal, isn't this a sign that the corpse is being raised?
That bastard Gu Sanqiu, he probably raised and suppressed the corpses himself, and he went to all this trouble just to make them uncomfortable!
"Report——"
"Master, help me!"
...
The constant sounds outside the door made a few people who were gloating about their misfortune wake up instantly.
This is the kind of shrill sound that I have never heard before, it is no different from the soul calling...
That little lunatic Gu Sanqiu, did he put coffins in all of our homes?
