Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

At noon, when the sun was at its highest point, the unusual movements in the Hall of Rebirth finally ended.

Seeing that the cinnabar on the ground had lost its luster, and Su Ping beside him was still breathing, Hu Tao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's done, Brother Su, you can get up and try it now."

Su Ping was still the same skinny man with dry lips, like a piece of withered tree bark. However, he had no strength at all, just like a bedridden old man. He propped himself up with his elbows and sat up straight.

His waist was not flexible enough so that his body could only rise straight up. Standing upright, he did not look like a living person. Instead, he looked like... a hard corpse, a stiff corpse... a zombie.

When he stood up like this, a spark of fire flashed across the hall master's eyes. It was due to her blood and education since childhood, so when she saw the inhuman creature of Cholera Yin and Yang, she would subconsciously want to destroy it. But this time, she forced herself to hold back and clenched her hands tightly.

Hu Tao smiled, a little sadly and palely, "Brother Su, if you get up like this, you will look more like a zombie than a real zombie like Qiqi. I may not be able to hold back."

Su Ping tried to move his cheeks, but his stiff muscles made him only able to make a very hateful and ugly expression. Of course, his face was already ruined, so he didn't care about it and said lightly: "I will pay attention next time."

Next time? There is no next time. Will this zombie be transformed again? I am afraid it won't turn into ashes, right?

Hu Tao sighed and stopped joking with this guy who didn't take his life seriously. A serious look rarely appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother Su, strictly speaking, you are not a real zombie now, but half human and half corpse, because...

It is impossible for a person to become a complete zombie and retain consciousness. This kind of life, perhaps not something that can be called a life, does not exist. Qiqi is not a real zombie either."

Su Ping asked: "Because she doesn't suck blood?"

"This is one of the reasons. Another reason is that zombies are violent beings that hold grudges in their hearts and drive their bodies to hurt people. Even with the talisman, they can only be suppressed into ordinary corpses. They cannot move or speak. And judging from Qiqi's appearance, the talisman is more like suppressing the power in her body to prevent her from getting lost."

"Half human, half corpse, what are the consequences?"

"Brother Su, you're really quick to change the subject. There's no special impact. It won't hurt. You don't need to eat rice or water. You just can't exist for as long as a real zombie. But at the same time, you're not afraid of sunlight or other things that zombies fear. But if it's the spells and tools of the exorcists, Brother Su should avoid them. Also, eat less blood and raw food. If your rationality is devoured, I can't save you."

"So, this half-human, half-corpse thing actually has quite a few advantages."

"Brother Su!" Hu Tao had a resentful look on his face, baring his teeth, as if he wanted to eat someone alive.

Su Ping's vision had not recovered, but he could imagine what the woman looked like at that moment. He remained calm and said with a hint of gratitude, "I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position. Thank you."

The Hall of Rebirth is the place where the dead are sent to the afterlife. Hall masters of all generations have been protecting the order of yin and yang and ensuring that there are no evil creatures haunting the world. But now a zombie was created in the hall, and the person who did it was the hall master himself.

Although Hu Tao did not show any extreme reaction, and the complaining cry was mostly in a joking tone, how much ideological work did this girl do in secret, and how much preparation did she have to bear the eternal infamy if the matter was exposed, before she could make such a decision?

Even though Hu Tao seems to have no rules and is not very knowledgeable on a daily basis, once it comes to the fundamentals of the Wangsheng Hall and issues concerning the order of yin and yang, she always abides by the rules and tries her best to achieve perfection, even if she fails.

Today, for the sake of her elder brother Su, who had waited for her for so many days at Wuwangpo and provided her with a lot of spiritual comfort when she was just in charge of the Wangsheng Hall, and who made her believe since childhood that there were perfect people in the world, she broke her vow.

This is heresy, this is treason! If the dead can have a moment of soul reunion, how should Hu Tao face her grandfather? Tell the old man who handed the Hall of Rebirth to her that Su Ping doesn't want to die? Or is it the justice of Liyue's survival?

But, is it useful? And...right?

After a person dies, even if there is a flood, it is nothing to do with him. After all, who cares about his reputation after death? Even if you, Su Ping, really have the ability to fight against the disaster of the entire Liyue with your own strength, can you escape the natural cycle of life and death?

Not to mention, this is still uncertain at all. Even he himself is not sure about the slightest clue. Even after turning into a zombie, it is still another matter whether his miserable life can play a role in the battle situation.

Does Walnut have to use these to respond to his grandfather, who might be disappointed or extremely angry at that time?

Hu Tao didn't dare to think like that, nor did she want to think about it. She just silently prayed that it wouldn't happen without others knowing, and said in a normal voice: "What are you talking about, Brother Su? You are a guest official in the hall, and I, the hall master, am responsible for your life and death."

Su Ping remained silent.

The first thing to do in the Hall of Rebirth is now completed, and the second thing has actually been completed just now.

It was a matter of fate. He wanted to transfer the good part of his own fate, that is, the meaning of new establishment in the process of breaking down and then establishing, to his two children, while keeping the meaning of destruction and the fate of life and death for himself.

This is why he always brings the two children in and out of the Hall of the Dead. It is not simply to hide his tracks. The characters on the ground are not drawn in vain.

Shen He came in and took the two children out, and used magic to change their blank memories into a daily scene of drinking tea and chatting.

Regarding this matter, there is no need to worry too much about the fact that her younger brother Su Yunqing has no chance of becoming an immortal. However, her elder sister Su Lingling is very talented and has a strong affinity with immortals. Even if the caster is Shen He, she has to be very cautious to avoid being noticed by the child and causing unnecessary trouble.

This was what Su Ping's brother had told her to do, and she had to do it well. In this life, Shen He seemed to really listen to Su Ping's words and did not act rebelliously, except for the time when she was unwilling to go to the exorcist clan.

Even if this wasn't right...even if she might be resented for it, she didn't seem to have any objection.

In the room, Su Ping tried to stand up by himself, fumbled to find the wheelchair and slowly sat down. The feeling of regaining control of his limbs was an indescribable comfort to him who felt that the world was filled with nothingness.

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and muttered, "Brother Su, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Su Ping said expressionlessly: "It's not reasonable to drink tea until lunch."

"No, then why don't you stay for dinner? Otherwise, it would be too abrupt to go home after waking up in a daze. Given my personality, I will definitely invite Brother Su to dinner."

"You are the hall master, you have the final say."

"Then I'll cook?"

"Although I don't need to eat, there are still three mouths outside the room that need to be fed. Master Hu should not do the hard work himself. If the chef in the hall is absent on leave, you can let Shen He or Ling Ling Yun Qing do it."

This proposal, how can I say it, cannot be refused.

After so many years, her appearance has changed, her personality is a little different, and her tone of voice is no longer the same as the young girl Walnut. Except for a certain part of her body that is still flat, her cooking skills are still hard to describe, and the food is hard to swallow.

But they were all acquaintances anyway, and Hu Tao's face was not a piece of straw paper that would break at the slightest provocation, so she did not blush at all. Besides, there was only one blind person in the room besides her, so what if she blushed? He couldn't see.

Compared to the helplessness of winking at a blind person, blushing in front of a blind person may be more uncomfortable, because some romantic ideas cannot be put into practice.

Hu Tao propped his chin up with both hands, resting his elbows on the wheelchair armrests, staring at the old bark-like face without blinking, and said in a very serious manner: "How great would it be if you were born ten years later? Then Brother Su would be Brother Su."

Su Ping wanted to laugh, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth were so stiff that it was difficult to move. He said calmly, "It may not be that good. If I were not me, Master Hu would probably not have violated this commandment and disrupted the order of yin and yang."

Hu Tao narrowed her eyes and smiled perfectly, "It is indeed irresponsible to say so, especially since Xiao Lingling and Xiao Yunqing are just outside the room. Fortunately, they are both unconscious and will not complain to Lord Tianquan. This hall master is lucky enough to be safe again."

"These words came out of your mouth and entered my ears. Don't spread them around."

"I understand. I am not the kind of person who would shoot myself in the foot. Although all the young ladies and wives in Liyue Harbor are actually a little bit lovesick for Brother Su..."

"That's different. Others may not have any chance, but you may."

"Brother Su, are you saying that I have a chance?"

"No need to talk about it. Not to mention that my two children are almost adults, but now you are still half-human and half-dead, and you look like you are about to die. From a moral and aesthetic perspective, neither you nor I can get over that hurdle. And age is indeed a big obstacle. Do you understand?"

"Brother Su just said that I have the best chance?"

"If it weren't for the fact that we have known each other for many years and you are the most eccentric person, and nothing you do would surprise anyone, would I say this?"

"Just think of it as Brother Su praising me."

"Let's get back to the point. How long do you plan to keep me naked, Master Hu?"

"Ah? Hey, here come the clothes."

Then, the half-human, half-corpse Su Ping stood up straight. Hall Master Hu Tao helped him put on his undershirt, then wrapped him in a thick fur coat. He sat back in the wheelchair and instantly returned to his original state.

This zombie asked another question: Why did the Wangsheng Hall create zombies near noon? Shouldn’t they choose a time with heavy yin energy?

The hall master replied with a smile that the Wangsheng Hall had never created zombies, but in order to preserve the human side, it was necessary to do so when there was enough yang energy. As for the statements in other places, she was not sure.
