Hutao uses me to judge my performance

"I'm standing so far away, why is the cat hair floating over here? You really need to stay away from the Cat Tail Tavern..."

The poet in green clothes stayed away from the Cat Tail Tavern, but at the same time he sighed.

"Oh, I really want to drink Diona's special blend..."

After the apprenticeship tea was finished, the master-disciple relationship was officially established. As a witness, Hu Tao patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder happily:

"From now on, you will have to support the old man in his old age. In order to support the old man, you have to work hard to earn more!"

She delivered the kind of push that belongs to a top boss.

Jiang Bai, who was immersed in the joy of finally holding Jin's thigh, felt a lot of pressure.

I counted my wallet and found that it was okay, okay, and I could still afford it.

"Hehe, don't worry, you can afford it!" Jiang Bai patted his bulging wallet, "Today is a good day, let's go to Wanmin Hall for dinner tonight!"

Hu Tao crossed her arms and said, "Shouldn't we go to Liuliting or Xinyuexuan on a good day?"

"The Liuliting Xinyuexuan is famous, but in terms of taste, it doesn't compare to Wanmintang! If we want to eat, of course we have to eat something affordable!"

Prices in Liuliting or Xinyuexuan are indeed too high, but it is impossible to admit it.

The days to come are so long, and we only have so much money, so we have to save some of it, right?

"Yeah, it's just too expensive." Hutao, who saw through his mind, rolled her eyes.

Jiang Bai smiled and went to Zhongli's side to pour him tea, "Master, we will go wherever you say."

"Then let's go to Wanmin Hall. Xiangling is on duty and should go straight to Wanmin Hall."

"Speaking of which, how are the negotiations between Qixing and Winter Country going?" Jiang Bai asked about this matter.

He has been away from home these days and doesn't know much about recent events.

Hu Tao wanted to laugh when he mentioned this, "Of course it's a great victory!"

"Thanks to you for handing over [Young Master] to Ning Guang. When they knew that [Young Master] was in Ning Guang's hands, those diplomats turned green and wished they could expel Dadalia from the executive ranks on the spot."

Jiang Bai also laughed, "Hahahaha, just come in handy!"

Dadalia, who was redeemed again at a higher price, looked at his cleared deposit and fell into deep thought.

Where is his savings?

What about his multi-digit savings?

How should he tell Tonya that he had become a pauper?

Chapter 337 Business starts again

After shouldering the heavy responsibility of providing for Zhongli in his old age, Jiang Bai changed his past laziness and devoted himself to distributing flyers and expanding his customers.

Although the [Ye Luo Gui Gen] business makes little money, it is his main business. As a soul transferer in the Rebirth Hall, he cannot lose his main business.

Since the release of "Once Upon a Time in Snow Country", the sales and popularity of their business have greatly increased. So far, 34 adventurers have bought themselves a death insurance policy.

Although this number seems small, there are very few adventurers who have money and need to provide for themselves. Having so many people is already very good.

Many of them did not order business to collect corpses, but to let Jiang Bai help them bring some important things back.

This even gave Jiang Bai the idea of ​​changing the name of his business many times.

But in the end, they gave up. The reputation of their business had already been built up. If they changed the name, the reputation they had built before would be gone, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

On this day, when Jiang Bai was checking the hands every day to see if anyone had passed away, he finally found that the name on one of the hands had turned black.

Jiang Bai was very emotional about finally getting out of business.

Although exploration is very dangerous, the mortality rate of the adventurer who bought their business is really low. So far, he has only been deployed a handful of times.

This made him want to add a slogan on the flyer: "Order business, death will stay away from you", but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it because he would be beaten easily.

He pulled out the blackened pointer and found a contract according to the name on it.

The adventurer who ordered this business was from Liyue named Wan Jiliang.

Jiang Bai had an impression of this man. He was a man in his 50s who looked very gentle. He was more like a scholar than an adventurer.

But this Wan Jiliang is indeed an adventurer.

This adventurer has rich adventure experience and often travels to various ancient areas in Liyue. Whether it is Qingxupu, Lingju Pass, or the Great Layer Rock Abyss, these ancient relics of Liyue's past have all been visited by him. figure.

In order to better sell the treasures found in the ruins, he deliberately learned a lot about antiquities and history. He was more professional than ordinary experts in identifying antiquities and understanding history.

Jiang Bai opened the last wish written in the contract. Wan Jiliang's last wish was somewhat similar to Custer's. He also decided on their business after reading Katis's story.

Although Wan Jiliang is an adventurer, he also has a good understanding of the history of Liyue due to his love for antiquities and history.

But he found that in some places, there seemed to be large gaps in history.

There was a place that was once prosperous and prosperous, but suddenly fell into decline. Its residents were scattered all over the place, and the originally prosperous city also turned into ruins.

Even the immortals and the former residents were silent about the story, so that 500 years later, no one knew the reason, and it became a blank in history.

In order to fill in these missing places and find out the reasons, he went deep into ancient ruins again and again to find useful information, and at the same time wrote books about these missing histories.

He wanted to rediscover and record the blank history of Liyue.

His last wish was to bring back the records he could not bring back and publish them together with the unfinished book he had left at home.

Although this historical book only covers a small part of the history of Liyue, it is not even complete.

But at least it fills a gap.

After reading it, Jiang Bai couldn't help but stand in awe.

Whether it is Custer or Wan Jiliang, they are all the same people, persistent for their ideals and willing to do it despite knowing the danger.

He breathed out softly and carefully put the contract away. After reporting it to Hu Tao, he packed up his things and prepared to collect the other party's bones and retrieve the relics at the same time.

Insert the pointer into the quadrangle and it will quickly point to the northwest.

Jiang Bai opened the map and looked at what was in the northwest.

Tianheng Mountain, Dunyuling, Tianqiu Valley, Nantianmen... are all in this direction.

Jiang Bai was not sure where Wan Jiliang was, so he could only try one anchor point after another.

Jiang Bai first came to the Seven Heavens Statue between Dun Yuling and Lingju Pass. When he got here, the pointer immediately turned to point to Dun Yuling in the northeast.

Dun Yuling is a valley. In a longer period of time, this place was not called Dun Yuling, but Dun Yu Valley.

People relied on the terrain to build strong cities and fortresses and live in them.

500 years ago, this was as prosperous as Liyue Port, but later the ancient city was closed in a short period of time, and the residents fled in all directions.

As a result, the closed fortress turned into a huge and hollow mausoleum, where the empty pools of water and the sound of wind had long resided. It was called the Dunyu Mausoleum by the Liyue people.

Jiang Bai was not born and raised in Liyue, and his knowledge of various places in Liyue was very limited. Even his knowledge of Dun Yuling was learned from Hu Tao when he passed by.

But Hutao couldn't explain why Dunyu Ling was called "Dunyu".

Now that time has passed, this ancient city fortress has turned into ruins, most of it has been submerged by water, and its former prosperity can no longer be seen.

Jiang Bai did not rush in, but walked around the valley outside. He found that no matter which direction he was in, the four directions of the scriptures in his hands were pointing to the Dun Yuling, and he knew it in his heart.

Obviously, Wan Jiliang entered Dun Yuling just to find out the past of Dun Yuling, and eventually died in Dun Yuling.

There is no doubt that this is a dangerous place, and even the treasure stealing group would not choose to come here.

There must have been a reason why this place was suddenly closed 500 years ago. The only reason to close a city and send away the people who lived there was that it was no longer habitable.

After all, not everyone is willing to leave their homeland unless necessary.

Now in the past 500 years, the secrets here have not been known to outsiders, which is enough to prove that the danger here is not ordinary.

Even if Jiang Bai is confident in his own strength, he doesn't dare to trust such a place.

However, although I didn't see any treasure thieves who liked to run to the ruins, I did see a lot of Fool soldiers here.

Jiang Bai frowned at this discovery.

It stands to reason that after the Osel incident, most of the fools in Liyue have been eliminated, but why are there so many here?

Are you stationed here because it is inaccessible, or are you exploring something here?

Looking at the fool soldiers scattered throughout Dun Yuling, Jiang Bai leaned towards the latter.

There must be some secret in Dun Yuling, and the secret is very big!

Thinking about it, Jiang Bai used a thousand-mile microphone to send a message to Hu Tao.

"Hall Master, help me check the information on Dun Yuling. The more complete the better!"

Will you stop loving me if I am exempted? I cried. . . .

Chapter 338 The star falling from the sky

Hutao raised her eyebrows after receiving Jiang Bai's message. She wanted to ask him why he was looking for information, but due to the number of times the Qianli microphone was used, she held back.

If she was looking for information about Dun Yuling, she would definitely not be able to find it at the Rebirth Hall. She went straight out and turned right to find a living history expert.

"Old man, how much do you know about the history of Dun Yuling?"

Zhongli was carefully trimming the flowers and plants in the yard, and he raised his head when he heard this.

"Dun Yuling? Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Hutao squatted on the rockery, not worried about crushing the stone under his feet.

"Didn't Jiang Bai go out to collect the body? The client is in Dun Yuling. There must be something unusual about Dun Yuling. Jiang Bai came to ask me specifically. I don't know much about Dun Yuling. I can only ask you."

"That's it." Zhongli suddenly realized.

Zhongli continued to trim flowers and plants while saying, "When it comes to Dun Yuling, we have to mention the meaning of the word [Dun Jade]."

Hutao pricked up his ears, ready to receive knowledge.

"The word [Dun Yu] literally means [the place where beautiful jade escapes]. The history of Dun Yuling also begins with the origin of this name."

"It is said that when Emperor Yanwang was still young, a sky star once fell in the wasteland west of Liyue. As the star fell to the ground, the huge wasteland facing the impact turned into a huge and deep abyss, from which beautiful jade, gold and stone grew. Inexhaustible, thus creating Liyue’s mining industry for thousands of years.”

The wasteland west of Liyue?

Hutao checked the map of Liyue and found out that the place in question should be the Rock Abyss.

The Strata Abyss is the largest mineral mining area in Liyue. The minerals in it are inaccessible. Although they have been mined and excavated for thousands of years, most of them are mined within the abyss. There are no mountains outside the abyss. What a change.

The huge spiral rock surrounding the center of the abyss is still a wonder that is praised by people.

She had always been curious about how the mountains were formed, but she didn't expect that they were created by stars falling from the sky.

Compared to the Hantian Nail on the snow mountain that only destroyed the palace on the top of the mountain, the [Sky Star] that fell from the sky was too hard, and it went straight into the depths of the ground.

It also opened huge roads for the miners to lead underground.

"It is said that when the nameless star fell, a piece of debris splashed out and landed among the rocks in the northern part of Lisha suburb. The sinkhole created formed the current terrain of Dunyuling."

"Ooh!"

Hu Tao opened her mouth in surprise. Just a fragment of the star could smash out the huge Yuling Tomb. How powerful would the falling star be?

Regarding Hu Tao's exclamation, Zhongli did not explain anything, but continued:

"The silent gold and stone contains aura and spirit. In the eternity that mortals cannot see and understand, they listen to and watch the pulse of the earth's veins, the echo of the mountain spring, and the slow but steady patrol of the rocks with their own rhythm.

"But meteorites falling from the sky are different. Compared with the simple and firm rocks on the earth, they have a proud and impetuous temperament.

"Later, countless demons and kings on the earth fought for the destined throne. The starry sky and the abyss were eclipsed. Tragedy and evil deeds blocked the breath of the rocks and flowing water. The falling stars from the sky were unbearable and fell towards them. Gao Tian fled away"

Hu Tao briefly translated Zhongli Wen's words, and summarized them as follows:

The fragments of the star that fell from the sky smashed out the Valley of Escape Jade, but during the Demon God War, the fragments of the star returned to the sky, so that place was given the name "Escape Jade".

Zhongli's narration continued, accompanied by the clicking sound of scissors and branches, which was particularly rhythmic.

"After the beautiful jade that fell from the sky returned to the starry sky, it left behind a deep sinkhole. People built strong cities and fortresses in it, and settled in seclusion amidst the legacy of the meteorite.

"Amidst thousands of years of wind, frost and turmoil, the fortified city of the Jade Valley stood tall and tall, and until 500 years ago it still had connections with the prosperous Liyue Port."

Hu Tao spoke, taking over Zhongli's last words.

"I know what happened next. The Dunyu Valley was suddenly closed, and the residents there left their homes and dispersed. The Dunyu Valley became the Dunyu Mausoleum today."
