Hutao uses me to judge my performance

After an unknown amount of time, Hutao opened his eyes in a daze.

Chapter 315 Isn’t this because the hall master is shy?

There was a look of confusion on her face as she had just woken up, and she thought about it for a while before she remembered what happened.

Jiang Bai is right!It’s Jiang Bai!

Jiang Bai is here!

After realizing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Bai arrived in time, otherwise she might really have to explain where she was.

But then, she suddenly remembered something, and the hot temperature burned from her head to her heels.

If I remember correctly, her clothes had been completely burned!That is to say.

Hu Tao felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter, and he was about to faint from the fever.

She forcibly controlled herself not to think about this matter, and instead thought about the current situation.

Where is this place?

She seemed to be wrapped up in something, something was pressed against her head, and there was a sound of breathing in her ears.

A small spark lit up, and the light allowed Walnut to see clearly her surroundings.

Seeing Jiang Bai with his head next to her and holding her in his arms, her breath froze and her whole body stiffened.

The small spark quickly extinguished with a feeling of being a thief, as if it had never appeared before.

Hu Tao struggled to control her beating heart, closed her eyes, and pretended that she was not awake yet.

Not long after, she fell asleep again in a daze, until a dazzling light appeared in front of her eyes. Her eyelids trembled and she opened her eyes.

"Hey, Hall Master, are you awake?"

Jiang Bai held the lumen stone, and a looking-down face occupied her entire field of vision.

She sat up and looked around.

She was still in the coffin at this time, but Jiang Bai was no longer there. There was no trace of his presence in the coffin. Hu Tao was in a daze, wondering if she had been dreaming before.

With just such a movement, the coat wrapped around her body slipped off, revealing a snow-white shoulder.

Jiang Bai quickly helped her pull off her clothes, "Master, be careful of catching a cold."

The temperature in this underground place is quite low, making it easy to catch a cold.

Only then did Hu Tao notice the clothes on her body.

The clothes she was wearing were obviously not her own. If I remembered correctly, this was one of the coats she ordered for Jiang Bai at the beginning.

Realizing that she was wearing nothing underneath, her face turned red again, her face was burning, and she silently wrapped her clothes tighter.

"My space is limited and I didn't bring many things. Master, I can't open your ring, so I can only make do with my clothes first."

Jiang Bai looked like a gentleman and did not hesitate when talking about this matter.

He swore that except for a secret kiss, he really didn't do anything!

Hu Tao blushed, biting her lip and glaring at him.

She was covered in bandages one after another. Didn't she do anything?

Jiang Bai felt that the blushing walnut was particularly cute, like a big round red apple, which made him want to take a bite.

Jiang Bai smiled mischievously and deliberately said something extremely unflattering:

"Master, don't be shy. You have seen all of me, and I have seen all of you. Let's be even."

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Hu Tao forgot all his shame and worries. He stood up and wanted to hit him, but due to the loss of strength, he lost his balance and almost fell down.

Jiang Bai quickly caught her, "Master, you have lost too much blood, please do not do strenuous activities!"

Hutao puffed up her cheeks and turned her face to the side, "Humph! Then you are still angry with me!"

Jiang Bai poked her face, which was as red as an apple, "Isn't this because the hall master is shy?"

"There's no one like you." Hutao muttered, but the shame and anger dissipated a lot.

As he said, everyone has seen it and it’s even.

"Build me a house, I want to change my clothes!"

"no problem."

Jiang Bai snapped his fingers and the changing room appeared on the spot.

Not long after, Hutao, who had changed his clothes, walked out.

After the blush faded, her face was still very pale, but it was still much better than the paper-pale color before.

"Where is this?" She looked at her surroundings, confused.

"Master, your flames were too strong. It burned the tomb open and the entire tomb collapsed. This is a ruin in the canyon below the tomb."

Jiang Bai briefly explained what happened.

"Speaking of which, what are those zombie-like things in that mausoleum? You were scratched, are you okay?"

Hutao shook his head, "To be precise, that's not a zombie, but should be called a [corpse puppet]."

"Corpse puppet?" This was the first time Jiang Bai heard this title.

"Corpse puppets are somewhat similar to zombies. They are both in a state where the corpse does not decay and the soul remains in the corpse after death. But the difference is that the soul in the corpse puppet is forcibly trapped in the soul.

"The soul trapped by the evil method will lose its reason, and its consciousness and aura will gradually be wiped out, and it will become a tool to drive the body. If you set up a formation and use the refining of Yin Qi, it will not take a hundred years to make the corpse invulnerable. corpse puppet

"This kind of monster has no intelligence. It will instinctively pursue living creatures and try to assimilate them. This is a very evil method."

Hu Tao did not elaborate on how the Corpse Puppet was transformed. This story was too long ago, and even the Hall of Rebirth only recorded a few words about it.

"I roughly restored the original story through the texts recorded in the tomb."

Jiang Bai brought her a cup of warm water and motioned her to drink water slowly.

Hu Tao took the water glass and drank it in one gulp.

"About 3000 years ago or earlier, the demon gods in the Wuwangpo area were not too busy. The humans living there were ruled by a human king. The person in the tomb is his only son who died. disease.

"The king couldn't bear the death of his son. At that time, a strange man appeared in the palace, claiming that he could resurrect the prince.

"With only ten thousandth hope, the king listened to the man's words and followed the instructions. He used human blood to lay a magic circle in the mausoleum, and also used several of the prince's wives, concubines, servants and thousands of people collected from the people as burial objects. , all were sealed alive in coffins and buried.”

Jiang Bai frowned when he heard this, "What then?"

"In order to prevent the strange man from deceiving him, the king sealed the strange man into the mausoleum together. The strange man originally wanted to refine a corpse puppet that could be controlled by himself, but he did not know what the impact was. After 49 days, the prince did change. He turned into a corpse puppet, but he couldn't control it and was directly killed and became one of them."

These contents were restored by Hutao himself through the diaries he picked up and the writing on the wall. They may be different from the facts, but they should not be too different.

"That's really a worthy death."

"After that, what we saw was that all the corpses inside turned into corpse puppets, and the prince was not far away from giving birth to spiritual intelligence."

"What happened to that country? Didn't they open the tomb?"

Chapter 316 He won’t admit it!

Hutao spread his hands and said, "According to ancient records, that country was completely wiped out in the Demon God War, and the king died before the agreed time. That country cannot be called a country at all, it can only be said to be a relatively large settlement. And his history was too short, leaving no trace at all in history."

Teyvat has had too many civilizations, some of which were backward and ignorant, and were not even worthy of leaving ruins.

Jiang Bai shrugged speechlessly, "This really makes people don't know what to say. I can only say that it deserves it!"

Thousands of people can be buried with them because of their own selfish interests. If this kind of dynasty is destroyed, it can only be said that it is the fault of itself.

Hu Tao sighed, "For thousands of years, these corpse puppets have been nourished by Yin Qi all the time. If it weren't for the use of secret methods, it might not be possible to eliminate them all..."

Hearing the secret method, Jiang Bai suddenly became nervous, "There won't be any side effects of using that secret method, right? Will there be a big price to pay?"

"Almost half of my blood has been burned out, and I will be weak for a long time..."

Hu Tao didn't pay much attention.

Although according to the environment at that time, that move was a death-defying move. After using that move, she no longer had any resistance and even lost consciousness. As long as there was still a corpse puppet that was not killed, the death would be It will be her.

But if you survive that period of time, it won't be a big deal if you practice well in the future.

That powerful move is only half of the blood, which is not a price at all.

"It was so close..."

Empress Jiang Bai was terrified.

If he had come a little later, he might never see Hu Tao again.

Jiang Bai grabbed her hand, "Master, the main thing is that next time something dangerous like this happens, you must take me with you!"

He didn't say anything to tell Hu Tao not to do such dangerous things in the future. For Hu Tao, it was her duty to deal with these ghosts.

He could only pray that such dangerous things would happen less often, or find a way to make Hutao stronger.

Hu Tao's eyes fell on the hand he held. Perhaps he was really frightened. He held it extremely tightly, with a gesture of not letting go unless he agreed.

She patted Jiang Bai's hand and told him to relax, "Don't worry, I will definitely call you if you need help."

Jiang Bai feels that this is still not safe. After all, he is not in the Hall of Rebirth all the time.

"When you get back, the training must be arranged immediately. Hall Master, I will supervise you carefully!"

Hu Tao remembered the situation where she had suppressed Jiang Bai in training before, but now the roles were reversed, and it was Jiang Bai who suppressed her in training...

Okay, my little brother is so strong, and she, the leader of the hall, cannot be compared.

Jiang Bai pulled her to sit on the stool. There was prepared food on the table.

Walnut did want to eat, but a certain guy held his hand and refused to let go.

Hu Tao's eyes lowered into a half-moon shape, staring straight at him:

"How long do you want to hold my hand..."

Jiang Bai seemed to have just noticed that he was still holding Hu Tao's hand. He chuckled and silently let go, "Master, your hands are too cold. Please warm them up..."

Hu Tao's hands were very cold due to excessive blood loss and insufficient blood supply in the body.

Jiang Bai put the big coat directly on her body, straightened her collar and tied it with a bow.

Seeing Jiang Bai suddenly approaching, Hu Tao's body stiffened slightly and she held her breath subconsciously. It was not until Jiang Bai finished that she finally remembered how to breathe, as if she had survived a disaster.

A scene from before suddenly flashed through her mind. She didn't know if it was a dream, "You last night... forget it..."

It should just be a dream, so don’t ask...

"?"

Seeing that her face was still a little red, Jiang Bai tilted his head.

last night?what happened last night

Apart from holding her and sleeping all night, he did nothing?

Well, that's definitely not what the Hall Master wants to ask.

Even if you ask him, he won't admit it!

Jiang Bai naturally changed the subject, "But if it's just a formation set up by humans, why can't even the Thousand Miles Microphone be used in the mausoleum?"

Speaking of the Qianli Microphone, Hu Tao's attention was immediately diverted.

She edited the language and tried to send a message to Xiangling to see if she could send it.

But the result was still the same as in the tomb. The message seemed to be covered by some mysterious power and could not be transmitted at all.

Hutao thought for a while, "I think the reason why the message cannot be sent out is probably due to the geographical area... After all, there are very few things that can block the transmission of immortal weapons. Including the mausoleum, the entire area was surrounded by an invisible force. The power is shrouded, so we can't communicate with the outside world..."

The entire area Hutao refers to includes the huge underground canyon, including the palace below them.

"The four directions point to the palace, so it seems we have to go explore the palace below..."

Jiang Bai nodded, feeling that this was very likely.

"But there is no rush in exploring. Your body is the most important thing, Master. We will wait until you have rested and gained some strength."

Now that Hu Tao has woken up, it means that there is nothing serious wrong with her body, and the rest is self-cultivation.
