Genshin Impact: Knowing the truth, why choose?

Old Hutou is dead...

This is what Gu Xin, who went out to do some errands, found out after returning to Liyue Port.

Seeing that the guy who was chatting and laughing with him in Tianji Pavilion not long ago was now lying motionless in the coffin, Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Then Gu Xin left the Rebirth Hall and returned to his Tianji Pavilion.

An old friend, now, another one is gone.

On the day of the funeral, Gu Xin was a little surprised to see Hu Tao, who was only thirteen years old, taking full charge of all affairs and being meticulous about everything.

He knew that Hu Tao was smart, but he didn't expect that the first funeral could be done so perfectly, which also surprised Gu Xin.

However, the death of Lao Hutou will more or less cause some changes in Hu Tao's heart. This is what Gu Xin is most concerned about and fears the most.

After all, Gu Xin had promised Old Hu Tou before that he would take more care of Hu Tao after his death.

So Gu Xin planned to talk to Hu Tao after the funeral.

After the funeral, it was late at night.

Gu Xin arrived at the back door of the Hall of Purity. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw Hu Tao climbing through the window. He didn't know what he was going to do.

Seeing Hu Tao struggling to climb over the window, Gu Xin didn't intend to knock on the door, and just watched from the side when Hu Tao would be able to climb over the window.

After waiting for a while, Hutao finally climbed over the window, and just when Hutao wanted to implement the plan quickly, Guxin picked up Hutao.

"Gu, Gu Xin?!" Hutao was startled when she saw Gu Xin suddenly appeared and picked her up.

"Hey, little Hutao, it's so late, what are you going to do?" Gu Xin asked Hutao with a smile, but this smile seemed a bit scary to Hutao.

After much thought, Hutao finally decided to tell Guxin her purpose. If she didn't tell him, Hutao felt that she wouldn't be able to sneak out today.

And if he told me, he might be able to recruit a fighting force. After all, although he was familiar with the place, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be monsters wandering there.

"Do you want to go to the boundary between life and death and see Old Hutou again?" Guxin remained silent after knowing where Hutao wanted to go and what he wanted to do.

The boundary between life and death can be said to be a mysterious and rare place in the world.

According to legend, people can see their deceased relatives and the souls of their unfulfilled wishes there.

Hu Tao wanted to go there because she wanted to see Old Hu Tou before he was completely gone.

But... none of the past masters of the Rebirth Hall stayed there, and Lao Hutou might be the same.

When Hu Tao goes away, she will definitely not meet the people she hopes to meet.

But if Hu Tao is not allowed, this may become Hu Tao's obsession, and once a person has an obsession, he will complete this obsession at all costs.

But if Hu Tao is just allowed to go, it might put Hu Tao in danger.

After thinking for a while, Guxin decided to take a compromise approach.

"I'll go with you. Old Hutou asked me to take care of you more, but I can't break the promise." Gu Xin touched Hu Tao's head, and then took Hu Tao to the boundary between life and death.

Yahoo, the plan works!

Hu Tao thought happily, then picked up her luggage and followed Gu Xin's footsteps.

Originally, it would take Hutao two full days even if he went non-stop, but with Guxin's help, it only took the two of them one day to reach the boundary between life and death unimpeded.

After arriving at the destination, Hu Tao began to look for his grandfather, while Gu Xin sat aside and looked around and came up with the answer in his heart.

"Tch, as expected, you walked quite gracefully. But for Hu Tao, is it really okay for you to do this?"

When Gu Xin complained about Lao Hu Tou's behavior, an old woman came to Gu Xin's side, looked at Hu Tao who was looking around, and asked: "Is that Lao Hu Tou's granddaughter?"

"Yes." Gu Xin knew the old woman next to him and was not surprised by her appearance.

"She's here to see Lao Hutou, right? You know he won't stay here, so why do you bring this girl here?" The old woman still asked Gu Xin, but her tone was obviously a little more... Blame.

"Sometimes, you can find the answers you want only by seeing them with your own eyes. That's why I brought Little Walnut here even though I knew Old Hutou wouldn't be here."

"In that case, the job of persuading that girl will be left to you. I will take the first step."

Listening to Gu Xin's explanation, the old woman nodded, and after giving Gu Xin instructions, she walked towards the depths of the border.

Looking at the old woman's retreating figure, Gu Xin did not reply, but just stared at the figure until it disappeared.

A few days passed like this, and Hutao, who did not believe in evil, was still searching, but still found nothing.

Seeing Hu Tao's frustrated look, Gu Xin stepped forward and touched her head.

"Gu Xin... why?" Hu Tao didn't know why he never saw his grandfather, so he could only ask Gu Xin, hoping to find the answer.

"Hutao, do you know who are the people here?"

"Well, there are people who still have regrets about the world and have never given up."

"That's right, but the past masters of the Hall of Purity will never stay here. Frankly speaking, let's go frankly. The same is true for Lao Hutou. He lived an upright life and never regretted anything after his death, so don't Consider his passing a shame."

After saying that, Gu Xin wiped away Hu Tao's tears, touched Hu Tao's head again and left the boundary between life and death: "If you have figured it out, come out. If you don't think it through, it's okay to stay for a while. I'm outside. Wait for you."

Recalling what Gu Xin said, Hu Tao felt a sense of relief. She finally believed that her grandfather had made an appointment to cross the border and went to the right place.

Like Gu Xin said, he should not regard his departure as a regret.

Hutao laughed it off, left the boundary between life and death, and embarked on his return journey.

"Figured out?"

"Ah."

"Then let's go. Those guys in the Hall of Rebirth must be going crazy."

The moonlight was far away when we arrived, but it was already dawn when we returned.

Hu Tao and Gu Xin walked back towards Liyue Port until the dream disappeared.

........................

........................

"Well, I didn't expect that I would have this dream after so long." Gu Xin, who woke up from his dream, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene outside the window.

"What did you dream about? Tell me about it?" At this time, a voice suddenly appeared in Gu Xin's head, and then You Yeli, who turned into a spirit body, appeared beside him and looked at Gu Xin curiously, wanting to know what Gu Xin had done. What a dream.

"It's nothing. I just dreamed about the past."

"I see. Speaking of which, we haven't been back to Teyvat for a while. I miss my hometown a little. When can we go back?"

Looking at the universe outside the window, Gu Xin smiled slightly: "What's the hurry? It will take some time for the two channels to be opened. Before that, we'd better enjoy the next [exploitation] journey."
