Chapter 6: Unusual Movements at Wuwang Slope
Gu Sanqiu mercilessly poked Hu Tao's forehead with his fingertips.
"You sent a letter to my house in such a strange way in the middle of the night. If you said you just wanted me to be your delivery boy and bring you some delicious food, I can only say wait and see how I deal with you."
"Hey, I'm indeed hungry."
Hu Tao sat on the ground and smiled at Gu Sanqiu with open arms: "I'm hungry, Sanqiu, help me up and eat."
“Tsk.”
Gu Sanqiu looked at Hu Tao with disdain, but still reached out and gently pulled her up, then took out two plates of exquisite almond tofu.
"I bought it at Wangshu Inn. Just eat something to fill your stomach. And tell me what happened at Wuwangpo."
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched. "It is recorded in the family books that if you blow on these blue soul fires, it will only make the little thing follow you for a while."
"I just tried it, and I was chased by a bunch of soul fire. I don't believe you if you say there is no ."
"Hehe, Sanqiu, you are so brave. You clearly know that there might be something wrong with Wuwangpo, but you still want to commit suicide. I really admire you."
Hu Tao clasped her hands together and bowed to Gu Sanqiu, then, while the other party's face was still dark, she quickly explained the reason for coming to Wuwangpo this time.
Just after the two came out of the confinement room, Hu Tao received intelligence from Wuwangpo.
It is said that some people saw many red spots of light at Wuwangpo, and under these spots of light there were some creepy mummies walking slowly, surrounded by the remains of animals.
The personnel stationed at Wuwangpo from the Wangsheng Hall immediately launched an investigation. After confirming the truth of the incident, they immediately reported it to Hu Tao and asked the hall master to handle the matter.
"So, it's really not to avoid my bill?"
Also, what exactly is going on with this Wuwangslope? Is it the real-life version of Resident Evil?
Oh no, according to Liyue style, this should be called a zombie, or a walking zombie.
Gu Sanqiu felt a little embarrassed. If he hadn't held back, he would have almost told Hu Tao that the best way to deal with those guys was to shoot them in the head.
It should be useful, right?
Wuwangpo is the boundary area between the human world and the underworld. Soul fires, mass graves, and supernatural events have always been standard features of this place.
But incidents like zombies injuring people ... Gu Sanqiu frowned and thought hard. This kind of thing had been recorded in Liyue before.
Shit, the appearance of this thing can be traced back to the Demon War period, right?
"So, you want me to subdue demons and monsters?"
Gu Sanqiu pointed at himself and said, "Look carefully, I am just a small incense burner. Although I am not powerless, I really don't have much fighting power."
"Lululu, big liar."
Hu Tao made a face at Gu Sanqiu: "You can fool other people, can you fool me?"
"If you really don't have the ability to fight, then can you show me how you got the golden shrimp balls last time?"
"My guest official said that you are quite capable. "
"Have you heard of the name of Zhongli from Wangsheng Hall? He knows everything about astronomy and geography. This is a great way for Wangsheng Hall to make extra money, and a great way for him to have cultural accomplishments."
Kurumi put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest proudly.
"Well, do you have anything else to argue? There is no judge here, so I allow you to say a few more words."
Seeing that Gu Sanqiu didn't react at all, Hu Tao looked over curiously.
"Hey? Sanqiu, why are you sweating so much? What's wrong with you?"
(;OдO)
Finished.
This was Gu Sanqiu's first reaction. He didn't really have any idea when Master Zhongli had started paying attention to him.
To put it another way, the gods are watching you, but how could you, as an ant, possibly know that?
If it was before the two souls merged into one, wouldn’t my current appearance be discovered?
Are there really any supernatural events in Wuwangpo? Could it be a deliberate trap?
Aren't there a few immortals hiding behind the scenes, waiting for me to reveal my flaws and then take me back to torture me?
"So, what else did that guest official Zhong say?"
Hu Tao looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, so you are afraid of him. Don't worry, even though that guy might be an immortal who travels through the mortal world, he is still a guest of my Wangsheng Hall."
...Does this mischievous guy know that Zhongli is that old man?
(′·ω·)丿(._.`)
Hu Tao smiled and patted Gu Sanqiu's head: "It's okay, I'll introduce you to each other some other day, Zhongli is a very nice person."
This is not a question of whether a person is good or not...
Gu Sanqiu closed his eyes, then looked at Hu Tao with a firm face: "Then tell me what happened. Since it is your commission, I will do my best."
Who cares? I'll just live my own way. It's just another death.
With experience, it's not that scary, even though it sounds a bit darkly humorous.
"Hehe, I knew Sanqiu was a good person."
Hu Tao patted Gu Sanqiu's shoulder excitedly: "So, have you brought my weapon?"
"Oh, I am just a porter after all."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and shook his right hand twice. A golden light spot flew out inexplicably and turned into a long-handled cane with black and red as the main colors.
"I used the powder made from the teeth of a thousand-year-old electric-toothed shark to coat you with a layer of protective film. It can also cause lightning damage when attacking. This maintenance should last for one or two years."
Gu Sanqiu hesitated for a moment: "Well, although you may think I am nagging, but when I was maintaining this thing, I still found something unusual."
"Don't use that trick of yours too often."
Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, then snatched the weapon away, puffed up her cheeks and looked at Gu Sanqiu warily, like a little hamster whose home had been robbed.
"I said, maintenance and firework is the promise your Gu family made to Wangshengtang, and you actually gave me an extra project."
Hu Tao carefully assessed Gu Sanqiu's expression and said, "Well, there shouldn't be any extra charge, right?"
"A thousand years! This kind of thing sounds very expensive. I guess I can't afford it even if I sell the Wangsheng Hall."
"Don't worry, those are my own inventory. I won't charge you for them."
…
Even though it was very suicidal, Gu Sanqiu still wanted to tell him that he could pay off his debt by selling Zhongli to him.
"Cry——"
A loud cry instantly perked up the two men. It was the giant shadow eagle in the sky warning them that something unusual was approaching!
"Hey, is this actually your own collection? You're a guy who doesn't even leave Liyue Harbor, and you actually have such a good thing?"
Kurumi clenched the Homa staff tightly, and faint red butterflies began to hover around her.
"Well, it's a little hard to explain the origin, but it's definitely my own thing."
Item: Electric Shark Tooth
Source: Leichi Sea
Note: One of the dominant tribes in the sea area just below the Wanshi Yongzhen Thunder Pool. The powdered teeth are one of the best materials for forging, but few people can extract teeth from a shark's mouth.
This should be one of the best things he has ever gotten. He secretly coated a thin layer of this powder on his kitchen knife, and as a result, the food he cut gave him an electric shock.
If there was no fire at that time, the Gu family’s kitchen would have been in an overload reaction.
Red spots of light began to flicker in the distance. Gu Sanqiu whistled, and the giant shadow eagle in the sky descended in altitude, but did not fall on Gu Sanqiu's shoulder.
The fact that they have an air combat capability is an advantage, so it is better not to let it go down easily.
The main reason for lowering the altitude is to allow the Giant Shadow Sculpture to react to the enemy's attack more quickly and give Hu Tao and himself more reaction time.
"By the way, if a fight really breaks out later, remember to shoot him in the head."
Gu Sanqiu took out the demon-killing revolver and his expression gradually became cold.
