He said he had been busy with some personal matters.
He is looking for the Dragon-Suppressing Stone.
Yingmei said she had never even heard of it.
Fortunately, Zhongli was knowledgeable and experienced.
"Dragon-suppressing stones are generally used in the forging industry. What do you need this for?"
Kunjun's answer was unexpected: "I...I don't know."
This undoubtedly deepened Yingmei's suspicions about him.
He said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't explain why... I've been in a daze these past few days, and I can't remember anything except my name and home address."
He then began to explain his situation.
Feeling lost and unsure of where to go, he wandered aimlessly through the market.
I happened to hear about the Dragon-Suppressing Stone.
These three words sound very familiar.
It was as if he went out just for this matter.
That's why I wanted to find one to take a look at.
Yingmei didn't say anything at the time and chose to believe him for the time being.
After all, Kunjun's abilities are still needed.
As the group made their way toward Lingju Pass, they saw footprints along the way.
The group followed the footprints forward.
There were quite a few houses nearby.
So I decided to ask a few people.
Although the start was unsuccessful, many people said they had never seen anything like it.
Fortunately, we did find a clue.
Chapter 137 Rocks endure, but time erases memories.
"It was said by a woman named Xiaoling."
"About four or five days ago, a few people walked by here, carrying baskets and pickaxes or something... just like you described."
Zhongli analyzed that it was because the terrain of Lingju Pass was difficult to travel through.
It slowed down their progress.
So it's four or five days, not six days.
Xiaoling continued.
"Oh dear, those people are so strange. Four grown men, all with blank expressions, like they haven't slept properly, and there's a little kid wobbling along in front of them..."
[Araki Kazuto: Could it be possession by a ghost or something?!]
[Hu Tao: Ordinary ghosts can't control four young and strong miners at the same time.]
[Navia: So ghosts really exist? Isn't this just a fan-made video?]
[Hu Tao: Yes, but they generally don't cause any real harm to people.]
Zhongli asked what the child looked like.
Xiaoling only described her as a short girl with blue hair.
His expression looked serious.
It doesn't seem like something a child should do.
The group continued their pursuit in the direction Xiaoling pointed.
Along the way, they rescued a scholar from the Dew Hall in Liyue.
She also happened to meet a girl with four adults.
However, she was in a hurry and didn't see clearly.
All I know is that they went in the direction of Nantianmen.
Kun Jun suspected it wasn't the same group of people, so he decided to find a piece of amber to examine his memories.
He found a piece of amber nearby.
Upon inspection, it was indeed the same group of people.
Kunjun and Paimon were both excited; it was like solving a case.
It's quite novel.
Zhongli, however, had a solemn expression.
"While having fun, don't forget to stay vigilant."
"Four adults with blank expressions followed a child day and night, crossing mountains and valleys. This matter is definitely not simple."
"That scholar was attacked by a baby rock dragon lizard, but such a monster shouldn't be this aggressive."
[Mona: Mr. Zhongli is as steady and reliable as ever in his work.]
[Paimon: Thank goodness I brought Zhongli along, it's all thanks to me!]
[Ying: You can even claim credit for this?]
[Bai Zhu: Judging from their description, those people seemed to have been traveling day and night, and they had neither luggage nor food or water, so they seemed to be on the verge of death.]
The people in the video were also well aware of the dangers faced by the miners.
Without lingering, we immediately set off for Nantianmen.
Zhongli marked the way to make it easier for Lao Dai to catch up.
We arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.
Yingmei, with her sharp eyes, spotted the miner lying on the ground in the distance.
The group quickly ran over.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
"Judging from his appearance, he must have collapsed from exhaustion."
Paimon was about to shake him awake.
But then the miner began to speak haltingly.
"I can still... I can still dig..."
He was already exhausted, but he was still determined to mine.
Very abnormal.
The men carried the miners to the camp to rest.
Zhongli examined it.
He was exhausted and fell into a coma. Fortunately, his life is not in danger.
Yingmei asked in confusion, "How could he be so tired? And he keeps muttering that he wants to keep digging."
No one could guess.
Kunjun, however, found the stones in the miner's pocket.
His identity has been confirmed.
He is one of the four people we are looking for.
[Qin: Why did you take four people with you, only to abandon them halfway through?]
[Ayato Kamisato: Perhaps this person's stamina couldn't keep up, forcing them to fall behind]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Yeah, he can't even stand up anymore]
[Bai Zhu: After all, you've been traveling for so many days, your body must be exhausted by now.]
[Beidou: That bastard, he abandoned them when they couldn't move anymore, did he just treat them like tools?!]
Kunjun continued.
He had something to give to Zhongli and the others.
The crowd was somewhat surprised.
Why did we suddenly start talking about gifts?
Kunjun said, "To be honest, I was always confused before I met up with Lao Dai. It was only when I investigated the case with you guys that my thinking became clear."
He then took out several pieces of crystal of rare quality.
He gave it to the other three as a souvenir.
Consider it a thank you gift for letting him slowly regain his senses.
This gift is very valuable.
Zhongli, however, did not seem very happy.
Kunjun went in to rest.
He then spoke to Yingmei with a serious expression.
What impressions do you have of the Dragon-Suppressing Stone?
Yingmei shook her head; she really hadn't heard of it.
"Is there anything special about it?"
Zhongli said, "The Dragon-Suppressing Stone is a rare forging ore."
"Most common crystals are formed naturally under high temperature conditions. However, Zhenlong Stone is a crystallized product caused by elemental reactions."
However, very few of these products have survived.
