Genshin Impact: The Boring Life of the Seven Stars of Liyue

"Dad, the child is unfilial, so please take care of Hu Tao!"

Mr. Hu recalled the time when Hu Tao's father entrusted Hu Tao to him, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"This brat gave me the walnuts without saying a word, without considering my age, and he didn't even hear any news after that!"

Little Hutao, who was only one year old, laughed out loud when she saw Mr. Hu swinging his beard in front of him, and grabbed Mr. Hu's white beard with his chubby little hands.

Feeling the sting, Mr. Hu saw that it was Hutao, and his face immediately changed into a smile: "Hey, oh, little Hutao, that is the beard that grandpa has cultivated for many years. Don't pull it hard."

As he said that, Mr. Hu quickly took off the Qiankun Taigua hat on his head and put it on Hutao's little head: "Come on, little Hutao, this is grandpa's most precious Qiankun Taigua hat. It can rectify positive yang and defeat evil. It can keep you safe!”

Because Mr. Hu's head was different from ordinary people, and Hu Tao was only one year old at this time, Hu Tao's upper half of his body was covered by the wide hat.

However, Hutao waved his hands up and down excitedly and shouted vaguely.

"A...Grandpa...Grandpa."

When Mr. Hu heard Hu Tao's cry, his mouth burst into laughter.

"Hey hey hey! Yes, yes! Call me grandpa, grandpa!"

The happy Mr. Hu held Hutao above his head and said.

"Grandpa will take you to the street to buy something to eat!"

...

The warm scene flashed by, and Mr. Hu appeared in Bubu Lu in the blink of an eye.

Baizhu took back his hand to check Mr. Hu's pulse, and then talked about Mr. Hu's condition.

"Mr. Hu, your disease has reached an advanced stage. I can prescribe you some medicine to delay it for some time, but it will only last for half a year at most."

News like a critical illness notice reached Mr. Hu's ears.

"Yes... yes, thank you very much, Mr. Bai Shu."

Mr. Hu stood up tremblingly and slowly walked out of Bu Bu Lu, his cloudy eyes looking towards the dusk on the horizon.

I originally thought that having been the master of the Rebirth Hall for a lifetime and witnessing the death of countless people, I should have already taken a dim view of life and death.

But at this moment, Mr. Hu thought of Little Hutao, who was only three years old at home, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

"If only...if only you gave me some more time."

...

The screen flashed again, arriving at a storage room.

Mr. Hu sorted out everything related to the Hall of Purity and prepared to entrust the Hall to the trustworthy guest. He would wait until Hu Tao grew up before handing over the important responsibility of the Hall to her.

Suddenly, Mr. Hu found a sentence in it, an ancestral instruction left by a certain master of the Rebirth Hall.

Anyone who visits the Rebirth Hall and meets someone who has the power to control time can return the items hidden in the border to their original owners. This item will slow down time and extend life. Remember not to be greedy and take it for yourself! Remember!

"Slow down time and extend your life?"

Seeing this, Mr. Hu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, and began to feel entangled in his heart.

In the end, Mr. Hu made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"My ancestors, I, Hu Chuan, the seventy-fifth generation master of the Rebirth Hall, hereby swear that the secret treasures I took are not greedy for immortality!"

"It's true that Hu Tao, the next leader of the Rebirth Hall, is still young and doesn't know how to count funerals. This junior has violated the ancestral precepts and borrowed the secret object. In the future, I will be willing to lose my soul. I just hope that Hu Tao is not blamed!"

The scene freezes as Mr. Hu resolutely heads to the "border", and then returns to Bubulu again.

Bai Shu's face was filled with an expression of disbelief, and he stared directly at Mr. Hu when he felt his pulse.

"Um...Mr. Bai Zhu, my body should be fine, right?"

When he heard Mr. Hu talking, Bai Shu realized what he was saying and smiled in surprise.

"Oh my, Mr. Hu, your body is fine now. I originally thought that the disease would spread to the whole body soon, but now it seems that there is no sign of this at all!"

After hearing this, Mr. Hu breathed a sigh of relief and forcefully pulled his hand back from Baizhu.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bai Shu, and take my leave."

Bai Zhu anxiously opened his hands in a posture of relief and shouted: "You can't leave!"

"What's wrong? Mr. Bai Zhu."

Baizhu looked at Mr. Hu's arm, which was nearly 60 years old but still showed obvious muscle lines, and then quickly shook his head.

"No...it's okay..."

Only then did Mr. Hu leave Bu Bu Lu with satisfaction.

However, the warning from the ancestors is definitely not meaningless. Such things that violate the laws of nature will naturally be discovered one day.

On the Sky Island, a certain god who was exuding divine radiance and meditating with his eyes closed woke up.

"Mortals, how dare you do such an act of transgression and usurp divine power."

With just a slight wave of his hand, God closed his eyes again, as if he had crushed an ant to death.

God's punishment has come, and Mr. Hu is not surprised at all when this day comes.

He has lived to be 69 years old, which is considered to be the longest life among the past masters of the Hall of Rebirth.

He could feel that the vitality in his body was rapidly passing away. If it weren't for the secret object, he might not have been able to survive for a few seconds.

Yunxing picked up on the way and the reliable guest Zhongli were the two idlers who arrived at the bedside the fastest.

Mr. Hu only had time to say that Hu Tao would organize his funeral and entrust Hu Tao and the Hall of Rebirth to them before passing away.

Before he could reveal the secret, Mr. Hu passed away.

When he woke up, he had already arrived at the "border". He could be regarded as the first master of the Rebirth Hall to wander on the border after death.

Mr. Hu looked at the secret object that was still around him. Since he had enjoyed it for more than ten years, he would wait here in person for its owner to come and take it away.

It is also thanks to the blessing of this secret object that if the soul that originally wandered on the "border" refused to be reincarnated, it would gradually lose its mind and turn into a fierce ghost.

Mr. Hu relied on its use to guard the "border" until now.

During this period, Hu Tao could also be seen coming to deal with the innocent souls who refused to be reincarnated, and Mr. Hu was naturally hiding.

It wasn't until last month that Hu Tao was almost injured when he was dealing with an innocent soul. Mr. Hu couldn't help but take action to deal with it, and then Hu Tao discovered something unusual.

Mr. Hu would naturally not hand over such a dangerous thing to Hu Tao. He might die just like him one day.

It wouldn't work if I put it back at the border, because I had already broken the seal when I took it away.

So I had to stay here and watch, waiting for the thing to return to its original owner.

Unexpectedly, Hutao, the girl, became aware of his presence since the last time he took action.

You are already dead, why should you let others worry about you?
