Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash.

Su Ping is twenty-four years old this year, and his two children are growing up quickly. Under the influence of Shen He's fate, although he cannot take off the red rope that binds them, he is not completely emotionless.

This day, outside Liyue Harbor.

That day, Su Ping supported Master Hu and went to a teahouse.

"You always brought people from the hall with you before. Why do you suddenly want to take the old man out today?" asked Hall Master Hu. He was already very old, and there was not much light in his eyes. It was a far cry from his former vigor and vitality.

Su Ping supported the old man, forced a smile, and said, "Master, I have a friend who has a problem at home. I would like to ask you to go and talk to see if you can solve it."

"What's going on?" Hall Master Hu's face, which was no longer energetic, had a faint look of worry, but he mustered up his strength and said, "Well, before it's completely useless, help Xiao Tao get rid of some more hidden dangers!"

Su Ping pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He supported the old man and walked slowly forward.

Yuhe Teahouse, high-end private rooms.

Su Ping helped the old man and finally arrived here.

Another young man sitting at the table quickly stood up to greet him and said, "Master Hu, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Please take a seat!"

Hall Master Hu tried hard to open his eyelids, but his old eyes were blurry and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He could only make out that it was a young man in blue clothes. He had no choice but to give up and slowly sat down.

Su Ping immediately began to introduce, "This is my friend, Nan Zhangsheng."

"You've heard of him. He's the scholar who increased the yield of rice seedlings, right?" Hall Master Hu remembered the shocking research that had caused a sensation in Liyue and even in Teyvat in recent years.

Nan Zhangsheng continued, "Master Hu is right. It is me. An old man in my family has been acting strange recently. He can't speak, his eyes are bulging, and he looks like he is possessed by evil spirits!"

Master Hu nodded slightly, then asked, "Have you called a doctor?"

"I invited the doctor, and he said there was nothing wrong with him, but the way he looked... Alas!" Nan Zhangsheng sighed heavily, with a sad look on his face.

Master Hu said, "It seems a bit tricky, but we can still do it if we try. Where is your home? I will go there to clean it up tonight!"

"Thank you, Master Hu. My residence is a bit remote, in the southern part of the city near the dock. I will stand on the street at night and wait for you to arrive."

"Okay, that's it." Master Hu sighed slightly, then stood up with the help of Su Ping and walked out slowly.

At nightfall, Master Hu was fully armed. Yellow talisman paper, copper bells, cinnabar, ink, and glutinous rice were packed into a large bag, which was then carried by Su Ping who was accompanying him.

"Xiao Tao really thinks I'm old. I even ask you to follow me when I go out to slay evil spirits." Master Hu was dressed in black and wore a Qiankun Tai Gua hat on his head. Wearing this outfit, the old man seemed a little younger.

"Hu Tao is worried about you." Su Ping was wearing a yellow uniform, holding a large package in one hand and a flaming red protective membrane staff on his back.

"Alas, I'm getting old, and my granddaughter has to worry about me." Master Hu had a smile on his face. He only had this expression when he mentioned that clever girl.

"By the way, Su, don't you have two children at home? Your wife and children won't be angry if you keep running to the hall every other day?"

Su Ping waved his hand and said calmly, "How can that be possible? Sister Ningguang is very considerate. When she heard that I was here to take care of you, she was not at all unhappy. Besides, as for the child, I usually accompany him, so it's okay."

Master Hu hummed, "That's good. You should spend more time with your family. Yin and Yang are in order. Life is short."

After chatting all the way, we finally arrived at the southern city area.

Nan Zhangsheng stood on the street. As handsome as he was under the lights in the dark night, there were always women turning back, just wanting to take one more look at him.

Nan Zhangsheng, who was already used to this, didn't react at all and just let them watch. After all, he didn't steal or rob anything, and he didn't have any intention of hooking up with girls, so what was there to be afraid of?

Even if Beidou questioned him afterwards, or he was caught in the street, Nan Zhangsheng would be able to stand up straight and confidently admit his mistake.

Because he knew one thing very well, that in this situation, no matter whether it happened or not, whether it was true or not, he had to admit his mistake, otherwise his family would be ruined and he would die.

With unwavering persistence at this moment, Nan Zhangsheng waited for Su Ping and Master Hu, and the three of them went to the former's residence together.

Nan Zhangsheng led the way, and after twists and turns, they finally arrived at a hidden hut.

"Master Hu, this is it, please show your power!"

The evening breeze was refreshing. Master Hu narrowed his eyes to a slit, observing the surroundings and sensing the atmosphere. He asked suspiciously, "It doesn't look unusual. Could it be that the evil spirit hasn't arrived yet?"

Nan Zhangsheng explained: "This thing is very strange. Sometimes nothing happens, but once you walk into it, you may lose half your life. I didn't dare to come back these few days!"

Master Hu glanced at Su Ping and could see a look of affirmation in his blurred vision. He turned to the door, took the package and the Homa, pushed the door open, stepped in, and disappeared into the darkness.

Bang!

The door closed instantly, adding a bit of weirdness to the atmosphere of the night. However, Su Ping and Nan Zhangsheng were not afraid. The former was upright and the latter was afraid because the former was upright.

Crackle!

There was a commotion in the house, with noises coming from all kinds of furniture being smashed and thrown. Even if one could not see what was going on inside, one could tell how tragic it was by just listening to the noise.

Su Ping said angrily: "Is this... okay?"

Nan Zhangsheng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, feeling uneasy. "It should be, maybe, probably, maybe it's okay?"

Although the two were familiar with the two old men inside, and one of them knew in advance that this would most likely happen, and he even helped to make the situation happen, but after actually seeing it, they were still unsure.

"Don't worry, Master just told us to wait, and everything will be fine."

A gentle male voice came from a man with green hair and a slender figure. He was very bookish and gentle.

"Old Bai, why don't you make any sound when you walk?" Nan Zhangsheng turned his head and said quietly.

The man called Lao Bai ignored the handsome man's questioning, but looked at the handsome man and said slowly: "My name is Bai Shu, nice to meet Kai Yang Xing."

Su Ping nodded slightly and replied, "Doctor Bai."

"Old Bai..." Nan Zhangsheng honed his voice, deliberately making it extremely rough, as if he was a prehistoric beast, unstoppable.

Bai Zhu said from the bottom of his heart: "It is recommended not to grind your throat like this. It is easy to cause coughing and damage the integrity of your vocal cords. Although you have passed the voice change period, it is still best not to do this."

Nan Zhangsheng turned his head and snorted, completely ignoring what was said. His closed mouth moved like a machine, making continuous noises.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He had never seen the handsome man in blue get angry. But it was not right to say that he was angry. Should he say that he was being upset or having a bad temper?

"Do you think that if you damage your throat in this way, preferably to the point of extreme wear and tear, you can then complain when Qiqi is feeding you medicine?" Bai Zhuru saw through him and pointed it out.

Nan Zhangsheng curled his lips and said unhappily, "Who asked you to snatch Qiqi from me? I took good care of her before. She was carefree and free, and didn't have to work at all. But now she's here picking herbs all day."

Bai Zhu said calmly: "This is Qiqi's own request. It does not need to be driven by an imperial decree. It is just based on instinctive persistence. We should not stop it."

Nan Zhangsheng suddenly felt like a deflated ball, his head drooped, but he pulled himself together again, "Forget it, Qiqi is still close to me now anyway, Lao Bai, as her uncle, don't overstep your authority!"

Su Ping watched and listened to the conversation between the two people, as well as everything that happened when they were together. As for the little girl named Qiqi, he had actually seen her in recent days.

In his opinion, the little girl decorated with jade carvings was just very dull, sometimes even like a wood carving, and she often had to open a notebook to remember things.

The little girl was not a human being, but a being that was intolerable to heaven and earth. However, since she did not cause any trouble, Su Ping would not take action. The expression on the little girl's face always reminded him of Shen He. Both of these little girls had tragic and pitiful experiences.

Nan Zhangsheng glanced around, especially at the hiding places in the cracks. After confirming that there was no one, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Qiqi didn't follow us, did he?"

Bai Zhu shook his head, "No, if someone like Master Hu comes, Qiqi must not show up."

Wangsheng Hall is committed to maintaining the order of yin and yang. If it sees someone like Qiqi who goes against the theory of life and death, it will definitely take action to restore order.

Although not every hall master is such a resolute person, but as long as there is such a possibility, Nan Zhangsheng and Bai Shu will not take the risk.

Soon after, the sounds of smashing and smashing in the house gradually subsided, and then the door opened. Master Hu stepped out of the door with a happy look on his face and his feet more steady.

"The evil spirit has been eliminated, so the old man will leave first." Master Hu used the Homa pestle to call Su Ping, then turned around and left without any intention of staying.

Nan Zhangsheng and Bai Zhu stepped into the house and saw a mess. There were countless things on the ground, but the house was empty, so everything should be on the ground.

"Second Master, was the treatment successful?" asked Nan Zhangsheng.

The Second Master slumped on the ground, shook his head, and laughed loudly, "It didn't work, but at least the old guy didn't leave me out!"

Nan Zhangsheng immediately called out, "Second Master Hu!"

Bai Zhu helped his master up, and a small white snake climbed up along his hand and coiled around his neck.

Mr. Hu smiled and said, "I couldn't cure him, so I'll help you cure this last bit."

Nan Zhangsheng wanted to decline, as he was familiar with this lineage's method of saving lives and had received help many times before. However, the Demonic Scale Disease was too powerful, and not only could it not be eradicated, it also made Mr. Hu's physical condition worse and worse.

Master Hu spoke, as if to make final decision, "It's settled. You are still young, you have to fight for your life, but I can only give you three more years at most!"

……

On the way, Su Ping supported Master Hu and walked slowly.

"Master Hu, judging from your expression, have you known about this for a long time?"

"Nonsense, if they really want this old man to exorcise demons, even if Wangsheng Hall is not popular, they have to come to our door honestly. There is no way they can meet in a teahouse."

"I see."

"To be honest, if I didn't know that guy and we were blood brothers, this wouldn't be so easy!"

Everyone of the older generation knew that Hall Master Hu had a younger brother. The two brothers were very close and could talk about anything. They would have worked together to develop the Wangsheng Hall, but they ended up splitting up later.

Others did not know the reason, but Master Hu himself certainly knew it. He had no choice as he was really angry at that time.

Because the medical skills that Mr. Hu learned were extremely strange, he actually sacrificed his own life in exchange for his own life, transferring other people's illnesses to himself.

It is of course good to be able to save the dying and the wounded, and to heal the world, but if it costs one's own life, then the value of it is difficult to determine and measure.

Because, as creatures living in this world, born between heaven and earth, who is nobler than who, and who should not die than who?
