Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 334 The Remaining Years (9)
In May, the summer temperature gradually rises.
The scorching sun that rose early in the morning made it almost impossible for the workers on the ground to open their eyes, but it could not stop them, who were tanned and strong, from carrying stones.
The reason is very simple. They are willing to work under the scorching sun. Of course, the offer from the employer is too much to refuse. Besides, this is the official agency of Liyue Port, the recruitment service provided by the General Affairs Department, and the treatment is much better than that of other private recruitment places.
This place is on the outskirts of Liyue Harbor. The laborers are carrying hundreds of pounds of stones on their shoulders. They have dug them out from a quarry in the nearby mountains and piled them together, gradually building up a high wall.
The wall is also very long, and it seems that there is no end in sight. Looking down from above, you can see that this wall completely surrounds Liyue Harbor, and it is as strong as an iron wall.
This was the order to build a wall around Liyue Harbor issued by the General Affairs Department after the Exorcists moved into the harbor in the first month of this year.
This 3,700-year-old rock port has never had a precedent of building a city wall, because no matter how bad its geographical location is or how strong the gods it worships are, they are all the best. Therefore, the existence of a towering city wall is useless.
But things are different now. Liyue today has no gods to protect it, and no immortals left. The degree of crisis it faces is probably no less than the Demon-God War of the past, but Liyue has lost its Geo King.
Under various pressures, the Seven Stars had no choice but to build a wall in order to protect the common people from dawn.
Stones are piled on the wall and then poured with copper and iron slurry to make it more solid.
Not to mention that the city walls outside the harbor are getting taller and thicker, today in a small grocery store inside the harbor that was not open, someone was staring at the banana trees beside the low wall in a daze.
This man is Su Ping, who has been blind for many years. He cannot see the two banana trees in front of him, but he can imagine that at this time of year, they should be emerald green and full of vitality.
Once a banana tree is planted, it dies in winter and grows again in summer, but human life cannot be like this. What about Su Ping?
He was a child prodigy in childhood, made a fortune as a teenager, was full of vigor and vitality in the military camp, galloped across the battlefield, fought the strongest in the world, experienced the lowest point in the world, and witnessed the scenery at the top and the cruelty at the bottom, all of which are vividly remembered.
His name was once known in the literary world, and his presence was also seen in the martial arts world. The immortals did not dare to say that they favored him, but at least they were pleased with him. He had a beautiful woman who loved him, and he had a son and a daughter who were both handsome men in the world.
Not to mention, he had one more life than the others, a life that he was reborn into after dying of illness, a life with memories...
His life was extremely brilliant and dazzling. It was a happy and touching life that many people could never live out in eight lifetimes. However, such a person was about to die and his life would soon run out.
Even if you are the most successful in life, what good will it be after you die?
When you die, you will have nothing left. You will not be able to see the people you want to see. The people you want to see will cry bitterly and be very sad...
Su Ping was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die now. He did not want to leave his family, the people he cared about and who cared about him, at this critical moment when the world was about to fall into chaos and might be destroyed.
Therefore, he cannot die!
"Brother Su Ping, everything is ready..."
Shen He's figure appeared behind the wheelchair in an instant, and his voice was very light.
Su Ping nodded silently, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, call Ling Ling and Yun Qing, and go to the Hall of Life."
There were only four of them, and Ningguang was handling official business in the Qun Yu Pavilion. This was a deliberate but natural arrangement, because in recent years, Kaiyangxing had nothing to do except running this small grocery store or going to the Wangsheng Hall for tea, and occasionally he would bring his two children with him, and no one would notice anything unusual.
As for the group of spy guards, he left them in the shop. There would be no problem with Shen He and the two children ensuring their safety along the way.
In front of the Hall of the Dead, under the shade of a tree, a woman was lying on an old man's rocking chair, her head resting on her hands, looking leisurely.
That Qiankun Tai Gua hat, that one-piece black suit, and that pair of legs as smooth and white as jade, who else could it be other than the 77th generation hall master?
"A guest has come to visit. Would you like to welcome him?"
An old voice, very hoarse, sounded from not far away.
The hall master Hu Tao opened one eye and glanced at the four figures over there, mainly the one in the wheelchair, and said with a grin, "Brother Su is here, how can we not welcome him? Please come in quickly!"
As he spoke, the hall master stood up, jumped from the rocking chair, did a backflip and landed at the door. He opened the door first, invited the two young guests in, and then carried the wheelchair in with Shen He.
In fact, Shen He could do this job alone, but since Hu Tao insisted, no one cared about her and let her do it.
"Come on, everyone, have some tea. I don't know why, but I've become more and more fond of drinking it lately, especially the kind that calms the nerves."
As Hu Tao spoke, she made tea for the people sitting around her.
The tea was seven-tenths full and everyone drank together. Su Lingling smiled and added, "Thank you, Aunt Hutao."
The tea did have a calming effect after consuming it. Su Lingling and Su Yunqing suddenly felt sleepy. However, it was already morning and they had just gotten up. How could they feel sleepy?
Su Lingling felt somewhat confused, but as her eyelids closed she fell asleep and lost consciousness.
"Ugh……"
A faint sigh was heard. It was from the hall master Hu Tao.
Shen He also frowned her beautiful eyebrows, slowly withdrew her hands from the back of the two children's heads, and stopped the continuous supply of immortal power.
After a moment of silence, she asked again: "Brother Su Ping, do you really want to do this?"
Su Ping said: "For Liyue, this is necessary."
For Liyue, these four light words seemed so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Su Ping had been planning today's incident since he came back some time ago, so he would bring the two children to the Hall of Rebirth from time to time to avoid being noticed.
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Don't waste time, or I won't be able to do anything..."
Shen He remained silent, picked up the two children who were already young boys and girls, and walked towards the mysterious second floor of the Hall of Rebirth, one on each side.
Hu Tao pushed Su Ping, but was in a dilemma at the stairs. "Brother Su, it's so tiring to carry the wheelchair upstairs. How about I carry you on my back?"
Su Ping said unhappily: "How can you, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, be so clever?"
Hu Tao could only chuckle, picked up the wheelchair, and carried it to the second floor steadily.
"Brother Su, you have to think about it carefully. Once you do this, there will be no turning back."
"let's start."
"Really, there is really no room for regret!"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have discussed this with you before. Let's get started."
Hu Tao stood on tiptoe and swayed, the expression on her face changing, and she pushed the wheelchair into the room.
On the floor of the room, there were characters of unknown meaning painted with cinnabar, which looked like they were drawn with blood. It seemed like some kind of cult ritual, giving people a chilling and terrifying feeling.
The characters extended all the way to behind a screen, where two people were sitting cross-legged. They were Lingling Yunqing and his sister. They had their eyes closed and were unconscious.
Shen He was not here. When Hu Tao entered the room, she retreated because she did not want to and did not dare to affect the progress of the ceremony. Besides, she was not going to be idle there either, as she was responsible for the immortal power required for the ceremony.
In the room, Hu Tao helped Su Ping up, carefully helped him lie down in the center of the characters, and then began to untie the light yellow fur coat that he wore all year round, and then untie the precious yellow shirt underneath.
The commander-in-chief, who was praised by everyone, was a brave warrior who once fought four thousand beasts single-handedly, but he did not have a strong physique, nor did he have pleasing body lines. All that came into view was his old, dry, rough skin, and his body that was so thin that it was almost skin and bones, like a mangy dog struggling to survive.
"Brother Su..."
"You don't have to take off your pants, right? I still need some privacy."
Hu Tao blinked her slightly moist eyes, but forced herself to laugh, "Brother Su, you really have no sense of humor. How can you say that at this time?"
Su Ping did not speak any more. There was no point in saying more. He had made up his mind anyway.
Hu Tao threw the clothes aside, took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and chanted, "Yin and Yang are out of order, the decree is the order..."
Then, she followed the unique footwork that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Wangsheng Hall, circling around Su Ping on the ground. After every three circles, she changed a hand gesture, then changed another one and circled in the opposite direction three times. After changing eighteen hand gestures, the hall master stopped and said softly, "The method is complete. Please order it to proceed!"
Before he finished speaking, a strange vision appeared. Rays of light emerged from Su Ping's body, wrapping his body in colorful light, revealing his unyielding spirit and tenacity.
"Seek new life, escape from other paths, move!"
Countless streams of light flashed and flew to the side, passing directly through the screen and into the bodies of the two children. This was not the end. Hu Tao caught the moment when the last stream of light disappeared and pasted the stack of yellow talismans she had prepared on various parts of Su Ping's body.
There were nine pieces of talisman paper in total, all of which were covered with inscriptions, making the ceremony particularly solemn.
Hu Tao made hand gestures again and shouted, "Melt!"
The nine yellow talismans seemed to make a "humming" sound, and then slowly merged into Su Ping's skin, like flowing water, until they disappeared.
A muffled groan burst out from Su Ping's dry lips, and then there was no sound. However, judging from his frowning brows and clenched fists, it was obvious that he was not fainted, but was enduring it.
Yes, the moment these nine yellow talismans merged into his body, it was like a sledgehammer hitting his head, causing him to groan uncontrollably. However, the pain in his bones and broken tendons that followed was not too unbearable for him.
After the initial discomfort passes, the remaining lingering pain and numbness are nothing.
What a joke! He had been in excruciating pain in the immortal medicinal bath so many times and had lost consciousness several times. This was not comparable to the current level.
