The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"One day I went to Chongyun to tell him where there was an evil spirit causing trouble. He mentioned Brother Lin to me, saying that Brother Lin was his role model, that he was courageous and courageous, that he dared to go with hundreds of ghosts, that he had superb martial arts, and that he cared about him like a family member." Xingqiu said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye sniffed and smelled a hint of vinegar in the air.

After Chongyun carried Lin Ye to Bubulu to guard for a period of time, he took the initiative to help the Qianyan Army check whether there were any remaining dangers in Tianheng Mountain.

Later, Lin Ye was awarded an award by the Qianyan Army. Chongyun wanted to go and congratulate him, but was afraid that the enthusiastic atmosphere would make him too emotional, so he didn't go. Afterwards, he went to the mountains to exorcise demons and monsters. During the rare leisure time, Lin Ye disappeared again and missed it.

In two weeks, Chongyun came to visit again and exchanged martial arts with Linye. He was shocked when he saw Guru. After learning about Linye's special physique, the child showed an extremely eager expression for the first time, which made Linye laugh and cry.

Chongyun invited Lin Ye to go together to exorcise demons and monsters, and Lin Ye told him about the Quantai incident.

The excited Chongyun almost couldn't suppress his pure yang body. He asked Lin Ye to take him with him when the time came, and Lin Ye agreed.

Since then, Chongyun has trained even harder, constantly improving his martial arts and spells, hoping to be able to help Linye someday.

"By the way, Brother Lin, are you here to buy books at Wanwen Collection as well?" Xingqiu asked again.

"No," Lin Ye smiled and turned to look at Hu Tao, "I came to ask for leave from Master Hu."

"Ask for leave?" Hu Tao pricked up his ears, showing an unhappy look on his face. He broke free from Lin Ye's clutches, walked in front of Lin Ye, raised his chin, wanting to look down on Lin Ye, but gave up in frustration because of his height. Hu Tao instead showed a "sneer" and asked three questions in Hu style.

"What are you going to do with your leave? Go do good deeds again? And you won't take me with you this time? Although you work half of the month, you have been absent many times. Be careful or I will deduct all your wages for this month."

“Do you remember what I said before I joined the Wangsheng Hall?” Lin Ye answered this question with one word.

"what?"

“Measure every inch of Liyue’s land.” Lin Ye said solemnly.

Walnut was silent.

He did say such words. I admired him very much at that time. But now it seems that he is as lazy as Zhongli. Isn't he just wandering around and slacking off?

Xingqiu became interested and asked, subconsciously revealing his true identity.

"Brother Lin, are you really going to do something chivalrous as Hall Master Hu said? To be honest, Brother Lin, after listening to Chongyun talk about how Brother Lin solved the Tianheng Mountain incident, I was also very impressed. A man who is brave enough to save people from dire straits is a hero."

"Master Xingqiu is overthinking." Lin Ye said helplessly.

"This guy just wants to travel and have fun." Walnut added, with a look of "disgust" on his face and gritting his teeth.

"Just tell me whether you are right or not?" Lin Ye asked.

"...If you insist on going, I can't stop you." Hu Tao understood Lin Ye and knew that he was too independent to be controlled by others. She thought for a while and said, "Why don't you tell me where you are going first?"

"The farthest is Mount Ao Zang. If you ride a horse, it will take more than half a month." Lin Ye replied, recalling the journey to Liyue Harbor with Shen He in a carriage.

Hu Tao's eyes widened. Oh my goodness, half a month? When Lin Ye comes back, it will be next month.

Xingqiu's eyes lit up and he asked with both joy and surprise.

"Could it be that Brother Lin also read the notice posted by the Qianyan Army?"

"What notice?" Lin Ye showed a puzzled expression.

"Recruit people, go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and capture the Black Mountain Tiger!" Xingqiu said loudly.

Black mountain tiger?

Isn’t this the boss’ nickname?

Chapter 58 Dazed Ahe

There is a saying in Liyue: There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

When the leader of the Black Mountain Tigers patted Lin Ye's shoulder proudly and wanted to give him a nickname "Big Knife Tiger", Lin Ye showed the humility of a subordinate and politely refused.

To put it bluntly, some treasure-hunting groups are just bandits who occupy the mountains.

Except for a few treasure-hunting groups that really have ideals and are looking for secret treasures, most members of the treasure-hunting groups live a life of robbery and kidnapping to earn ransom. Under the banner of the treasure-hunting group, they can be said to have a resounding name.

The Qianyan Army collectively summarizes this type of people as the Treasure Stealing Group. In fact, there are ways to distinguish within the Treasure Stealing Group, the most common of which is the nickname.

There are all kinds of nicknames, such as the "Black Mountain Tiger" in the animal category, Mond's "Strange Bird", and the "Flying All Over the Sky" and "Clairvoyance" in the special function category. Everyone is used to them.

Back to the topic, Lin Ye asked Xingqiu in confusion about the reason for this matter.

Xingqiu saw Lin Ye's puzzled look and knew that he didn't think the other party the same as he did, so he patiently explained.

"I heard from the Qianyan Army who posted the notice that a merchant who went to Mount Ao Zang to seek immortality was murdered not long ago. The servants protected him and he escaped, but his youngest son was captured and left there."

"Kidnapping?" Lin Ye asked.

He was familiar with this business; before he became the second-in-command and gained power, the treasure-stealing gang was always doing this.

"That's right," Xingqiu nodded, "and not all of them together. Those who were sent back in the past were all abused to some extent."

Lin Ye frowned when he heard this.

“Alas,” Xingqiu sighed, “I have also heard that the bandits in Ao Zang Mountain are known for being helpful. They steal people’s money but never kill them. Their promises are priceless, and they also use the money they rob to help poor people in the villages near Ao Zang Mountain.”

"I believe there must be a being called a 'knight' in his heart. If I could see him in person, I would really like to meet him."

Lin Ye listened from the side and felt a little embarrassed.

Not really, not really. Lin Ye just wants to make a living. Unless the person is a wicked criminal with heinous crimes and a murder case on his hands, Lin Ye doesn't mind doing justice.

If they are simply stupid or bad, and not completely stupid or bad, Lin Ye will at most give them a lesson and will not send them to heaven easily.

In the final analysis, influenced by the education in his previous life, even though Lin Ye came to the continent of Teyvat where "being killed" was not uncommon, and even though he had the power to easily take other people's lives, Lin Ye still drew a line in his heart.

In order to survive, you can kill, but you must never make killing a common thing, otherwise Lin Ye feels that his soul will be corrupted.

While Lin Ye was lost in thought, Xingqiu continued, his tone tinged with resentment.

"It's a pity that Hu Zha was killed by the man behind the scenes. The treasure-stealing group in Aozang Mountain has also changed. They are no different from other rural bandits."

"Ok?"

Lin Ye came to his senses and asked, what the hell is that?

Am I dead? Or was I killed by a backstab?

Something popped up above Lin Ye’s head???

"Master Xingqiu, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by the Hu Zha bandit being killed?"

"I also heard it from hearsay. That Hu Zha bandit was originally the second in command. The first in command was afraid that Hu Zha bandit would become more powerful than him, so he poisoned him to death and also killed many of Hu Zha bandit's direct descendants with blood."

This script... is strangely familiar. This is how history is played out.

“Master Xingqiu,” Lin Ye patted Xingqiu’s shoulder heavily. Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Ye in confusion. Seeing that he was speaking seriously, “Don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors, let’s start with you and me!”

Hu Tao, who was standing by, glanced at Lin Ye and said nothing.

She came up with a bold idea.

Considering Lin Ye's style of doing things and his experience of being thrown into Ao Zang Mountain by his own father, well...

"It was originally for the tea after dinner. Brother Lin taught us not to believe in rumors or spread them. As the saying goes, hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. However, the Hu Zha bandit has not appeared for a long time. This time I plan to join the Qianyan Army and go into the mountains to suppress the bandits. I hope to meet the Hu Zha bandit."

Lin Ye was silent.

Based on his understanding of the strength of the boss's group, when Xingqiu, who was level 48, went there, it was truly a case of the big guys bullying the weak ones and catching them all in one swoop.

"Ahem, this hall master has agreed to your request for leave."

At this time, Walnut suddenly spoke.

Lin Ye looked at Hu Tao in surprise, and the latter blinked at him innocently.

"I have one more condition," Walnut said again, "I want to go to Mount Ozang with you this time too."

"What about the night patrol?" Lin Ye asked subconsciously.

"Don't worry, it's been a lot quieter during this period of time." Walnut said with a smile.

Perhaps relying on his great skills and courage, he took off the necklace while patrolling in the forest with Walnut by his side.

Although there was not the exaggerated effect like in Pokemon Go where the spray was lost and a wild Pokemon appeared every three steps in the bush, Lin Ye and Hu Tao encountered some unclean things more or less throughout the night.

In the past two weeks, Hu Tao turned into a scavenger and did a big cleanup, sending all the little ghosts she met to the afterlife. The nights in Liyue Harbor became relatively safer.

Although it is impossible to completely eliminate ghosts, just like germs, they will breed again after a while, at least for now, Walnut can rest assured.

"Besides, I can ask Zhongli to help me patrol at night. He is so young, it's okay for him to stay up late." Hu Tao said again.

In the past, when Hu Tao performed rituals outside Liyue Harbor, she would ask Zhongli to patrol at night.

This only applies to when Hu Tao goes out of Liyue Harbor. Inside Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao always sticks to her duties and has a strong sense of responsibility.

When Lin Ye heard this, he thought of old man Zhongli walking alone on the night road under the moonlight, with a calm face and peaceful eyes. Perhaps the bored Rock King Emperor hoped to meet a ghost to chat with him.

"That's fine." Lin Ye nodded, and then he realized something was wrong.

Clearly he originally wanted to open an anchor point, so how come things ended up leading to the development in Ao Zang Mountain?

Moreover, Hu Tao seemed a little suspicious. Lin Ye recalled that Hu Tao winked at him, and he felt that something was amiss.

Would Hu Tao discover her previous alias?

...It's discovered, so it doesn't matter.

Lin Ye chose to give up.

"Brother Lin, Hall Master Hu, it looks like you are going to Ao Zang Mountain as well. How about we go together?" Xing Qiu said with a smile.

Lin Ye was a little hesitant. He planned to set up anchor points along the way, and it would be inconvenient to have outsiders following him.

"Lin Ye, Master Xingqiu is right. Why should we refuse if you want to travel with us? Are you hiding something and feeling guilty about it?" Hu Tao pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Well, Walnut guessed it.

Well, I can join the Qianyan Army, gather some information, and see what the official statement is, Lin Ye thought.

Everything has its cause and effect. Lin Ye once lived in a treasure-stealing group. He knew that he would have to face it sooner or later, and he had also thought about how to deal with it properly.

As Lin Ye's thoughts became firmer, the system made a sound.

"Bond quest begins: Black Mountain Tiger's wish."

"Heishanhu has been in great trouble recently. He doesn't know how to choose between a brother and a woman. At this time, he misses his second brother more and more, and hopes that he can give him some advice."

"Completion conditions: Solve the troubles of the Black Mountain Tiger."

"Reward: 120 original stones"

"Big Experience Book*8"

"Limited-time mission: The treasure-stealing group is in great crisis."

"The treasure-stealing group entrenched in Aozang Mountain is facing the crisis of extinction, but they are still immersed in joy. As the former second-in-command, what choice will you make when faced with the survival or destruction of the treasure-stealing group?"

"Completion conditions: Witness the end of the treasure-stealing group."

"Reward: 50 original stones"

"Big Experience Book*3"

Lin Ye noticed new changes in the tasks arranged by the system. What the hell is this bond task?

The bond between the boss and the second in command?

The rewards for the original stones and large experience books are quite rich. Is this the power of bonds?

Are there any additional completion conditions?

With the original stone and the big experience book reward, Lin Ye smiled and said to Hu Tao and Xing Qiu.

"Let's go to the Qianyan Army to see when to set off."

Hu Tao was surprised at how quickly Lin Ye's attitude changed, and thought that he must be holding something bad in his heart. Xingqiu was delighted because he had a companion and could tell his elder brother and father that he was traveling with friends.

"Shen He, are you in a daze?"

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng stood on a hill, looking down at the white-haired girl who was meditating. In the past, she kept her eyes closed when she practiced, but now she opened her eyes, with a dull look, and it was obvious that she was distracted.

It has been like this for some time.

So, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun asked a straightforward question.

Shen He has magical powers and can travel a thousand miles a day. He just came back from Liyue Harbor the day before yesterday. At first, Master Liuyunjiefeng asked him a few simple questions, and Shen He did not show any abnormality.

Now it seems that something must have happened during Shen He's trip.
