Chapter 18 Visiting the Hall of Rebirth

"If i remember correctly……"

When Shi Lan was distracted, he suddenly heard Hu Tao muttering something and saw that she had taken out a thick book from somewhere and was flipping through it, searching for something very seriously.

Shi Lan curiously leaned over to take a look, and saw that the book in Hu Tao's hand was not a common book, but more like a handwritten font. Every page was filled with names, including home address, date of birth, and even the characteristics of the characters.

and character are recorded in the book.

"What is this?" Shi Lan was puzzled.

It looks like a notebook or something, but whose notebook is so thick that it could hit a dog if thrown out.

"This is my client list." Hu Tao said without raising his head.

Shi Lan's expression instantly became wonderful. Hu Tao's client...

This book "Goodfellas" is full of dead ghosts...

But why does Xingqiu's name appear on it? And Xiangling?

What do you want to do?

Shi Lan had a bad feeling. He seemed to have guessed what Hu Tao was looking for...

"Shi Lan?"

"It's me..." Shi Lan felt his throat was dry.

"Yeah, that's right." Hu Tao was flipping through the book, while his eyes kept scanning Shi Lan, and he muttered something: "Not tall... He has a cross-body bag... He is very strong, but his brain is not good..."

Shi Lan: "???"

Is this polite?

You can say I'm not smart, but you can't say there's something wrong with my brain...

But what made him even more confused was when did he become Hutao's customer? If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be their first meeting. How did this guy know about him?

"It's really Shi Lan!" Hu Tao seemed a little happy: "I heard about you many times from Xiang Ling! You defeated the wild boar when you were ten years old, and you also helped Xingqiu fight off the bad boy!"

Beat a stick and give me a sweet date, right? You just said that my brain is not working well, and now you are flattering me again...

"It's just a little effort..." Shi Lan couldn't show off her face after going back and forth. She pointed at the book in her hand and asked curiously: "Why should we write our names on it?"

"This girl will take over the reincarnation hall in the future." Hutao patted her chest and said proudly: "You are all my potential customers, so I have to make investigation records. I wrote down the names of most people in Liyue.

It’s up there…”

What Death Note grave is scheduled?

Shi Lan pointed at the wall: "Then why did you come to Bubulu today for Qiqi?"

"That's right!" Hu Tao said seriously, "I'm here to accurately record Qiqi's information."

As she said that, she showed the page of Qiqi to Shi Lan.

I saw that half of the page was densely written with words:

Customer number 1, name: Qiqi.

Gender: Female.

Age: Unknown.

Identity: Zombie.

Address: Bubulu.

Caretakers: Baizhu and other pharmacists in Bubulu.

Evaluation: A cute little girl turned into a zombie due to unknown reasons. Her body is immortal and she is disobedient to heaven. She must not remain in the mortal world. In time, I will be reborn as the master of the hall. I will be selfless and offer her firewood as a sacrifice and send her to the world.

Illusion, liberation from the mortal world, reincarnation in the six realms.

Then there are all kinds of habits about Qiqi, like coconut milk, doing aerobics and so on. There is actually a sketch at the bottom, but only the body is drawn without the head, which looks very scary.

The corners of Shi Lan's mouth twitched, "Where's the head... where is the head?"

"I was disturbed by you!" Hutao spread his hands helplessly: "It's too far away and I can't see the details of the face. I haven't drawn it yet. I was about to take a few more glances when you scared me and dropped me. My butt is still hurting now.

"

Shi Lan was speechless. He lowered his head and continued to look through the Death Note. He found that other people's lists did not receive the same treatment as Qi Qi. They just recorded their characteristics, names and home addresses.

He felt strange: "Why don't others draw portraits?"

"You are not allowed to look at other people's. This is the client's privacy." Hutao snatched the note and then answered Shi Lan's question: "You are indeed not very smart. Qiqi will not grow up, and she will be the same in the future if she is given

You paint, if you grow up and you can’t match the painting, who should I turn to..."

"But, how did you do it?" Shi Lan's expression was exaggerated.

Nothing more. I just flipped through a few pages, and the names on them were simply dazzling, and they were all marked with their home addresses and names.

"With so many people's identity information, have you stolen the population records of the General Affairs Department?"

"No! I have my own method." Hutao suddenly showed a sly smile and narrowed his eyes, "Let's do this. Grandpa asked me to go out and buy wood. You are strong, and you can help me carry some back to the Hall of Purity later.

How about I tell you how to write down so many people’s secrets?”

Shi Lan was dumbfounded: "Why should I accompany you? Isn't your topic too off the mark?"

"Come on, Xiangling and I are good friends. You grew up as Xiangling's neighbor, so you are my good friend. Please help me."

"Can I say no?"

Hutao looked troubled: "Please, please! Help me. In return, can't I invite you to be a guest in the Hall of Life? This is an honor that not many people can get."

Shi Lan had a bunch of rude remarks that he couldn't say out loud.

He always felt that Hu Tao had impure intentions, so he invited him to his home to play when they first met.

Such a lovely little girl kindly invites you, and I will go without caring about other girls, but your home is the Hall of the Reborn, a place where dead ghosts are burned...

But seeing Hu Tao's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to refuse.

"That's good...okay..."

"Yeah! Come with me!"

Hutao cheered, put away the book, grabbed Shi Lan's hand and ran forward to lead him away.

Being held by Hu Tao's soft and cold little hands, Shi Lan didn't have time to say anything, so he ran all the way to the timber market at the dock.

Hu Tao always had a fiery personality, doing things quickly and buying things even faster. Her generous manner when paying made Shi Lan feel heartbroken. If she had paid for this herself, she would definitely have cut the price in half.

I bought three pieces of wood in total, tied them up with cloth straps, and then took another piece and pulled it away with Shi Lan.

"If you buy wood, the seller will provide delivery service...Why do you have to ask me to come..."

"Because it's an emergency, the sooner the better. The merchants are also very busy. I don't know how long it will take to wait for someone to deliver it."

Shi Lan wanted to complain, the sooner the better, then why didn't you buy it earlier instead of picking up the walls of Bubulu?

And having said that, these three pieces of wood didn't seem to be ordinary species. It was really hard for him to drag them all the way, especially when going up the steps, which made his face turn red from holding back.

Pedestrians passing by were stunned to see the teenage Shi Lan dragging three large logs nearly six meters tall. They all gasped and exclaimed that it was too outrageous.

Seeing Shi Lan's face turning red, Hu Tao was also a little worried: "Is it too heavy? Why don't you put it down first?"

This sentence sounded a bit contemptuous to Shi Lan's ears. Just kidding, he had already lifted a thousand-jin cargo box, so it didn't matter.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Shi Lan arranged the cloth belt tied with wood, wrapped it around his waist, and wrapped it twice around his arms. He followed Hu Tao to the entrance of the Rebirth Hall with heavy steps, and he had a 100% turn-around rate along the way.

Even Xiang Ling, who was lying in front of the counter of Wanmin Hall, looked at Shi Lan in disbelief, wondering what kind of work he was doing.

When he arrived at the door, Shi Lan put down the wood.

"You rest for a while, I'll go in and ask a few people to move the wood."

Hu Tao quickly ran into the house.

After moving his body for a while, Shi Lan let out a long breath, and then had time to look at the facade of the Hall of Rebirth.

The architecture of the Hall of Purity is similar to that of other buildings in the Gulou District. They are all in the same style. There is a signboard with flying dragons and phoenixes at the door, with the three characters "Tang of Purity" written on it.

The Gosheng Hall is adjacent to a mountain, and in front of the door is a mountain stream. The water from the mountain stream directly flows into Yunlaihai. Looking up from here, you can see the Yujing Tower high above.

It can be said that it is a crowded place. Even in the bustling Gulou District, it is surprisingly quiet near the Hall of Rebirth. Except for a white cat squatting on a stone bench, there is no other living thing.

According to the customs of Liyue people, most people are not willing to come here when they have nothing to do. After all, the Palace of Purity is a combination of a funeral parlor and a yizhuang. There were rumors of being haunted before, which made outsiders even more reluctant to approach.

here.

Shi Lan didn't have anything to fear. Maybe he was afraid of ghosts in broad daylight.

He was also quite curious about this place. He usually passed by the wooden bridge in a hurry and didn't think about coming here. When Hutao asked him to help, he also thought that he would come here to have a look. Anyway, he was idle.

The first time I came to Shengshengtang, there were so many evil rumors outside, but when I got closer, it was just like that. It was no different from ordinary merchants.

There was a white cat on the stone bench at the door. He squatted down to pet the cat with nothing to do. Suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Shi Lan?"

Turning around, Shi Lan saw that person.

Her hair color gradually changes from black to brown, her body is slender, her golden pupils look down, and she is not angry and intimidating. The patterns on her clothes are colorful and she has a distinctive personality.

Shi Lan was a little embarrassed.

Isn’t this the dad I casually recognized yesterday to eat dumplings?

"What a coincidence, hahaha, I can meet you here..."

The man smiled slightly: "No need to be subtle, just call me Zhongli."
