Hutao uses me to judge my performance

It's just that Wushang was able to deal with three bleeding dogs, and it was under Hu Tao's guidance. This kind of achievement is really not worth being complacent about.

Seeing that Yidou had figured it out, Jiang Bai was in a good mood.

Now, you don’t need anyone else to supervise you, you will work hard on your own once you fight.

Aru couldn't quite understand their conversation. What kind of god or god's heart was beyond his scope of cognition.

He only understood one sentence, "It's so dangerous outside."

Jiang Bai did not continue this topic, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's help Aru purify the habitat."

"The perch is over there, let's go there quickly." Aru pointed in the direction of the perch and ran over first.

This perch grew on the seaside, and just like before, under the touch of a few people, the feathers flew up and floated around.

"Huh? It seems like they all drifted into that ruins."

"I heard that the murals are under the ruins, but Aru has never been there."

"Then Aru, do you want to come with us?"

"No, Aru is waiting for you here."

Seeing that Aru didn't go with them, Jiang Bai took out Gudong and asked Gudong, the little ghost, and Achou to look at him.

Aru is the key to unlocking the secrets of this island, so there can be no accidents.

Following the direction in which the feathers flew away, the three of them entered the underground ruins.

Looking at these ancient buildings that were buried underground and suddenly exposed to sight, Hu Tao sighed with emotion.

"What a huge ruin."

The pattern style of this ruins is different from that of any ruins she has ever seen. A scholar who specializes in ruins may be able to study the carving patterns here to get some information. However, none of the three people present have studied this.

Looking at the dormant ones, Jiang Bai held his chin, thoughtfully, "These Kanria machines are really everywhere, even here."

These machines should have been ordered to come here before Kanreiya was destroyed. After all, Heguan is located in the sea, surrounded by endless ocean. Even though it took them a long time to get here, these Kanreiya machines cannot be here. After Rhea's demise, there were so many more people who wandered to the island from distant lands without anyone's control.

In other words, there must be something here that the Kanria people care about, so they sent the machine here.

Could it be those murals?

"There is no fog here." Hutao looked around. Under the flames, the surrounding situation was clearly visible.

"Strange, why not? Is it because it's underground?" Jiang Bai frowned slightly.

"It's possible." Hutao looked at the connection between the surrounding mountains and buildings, and said with some surprise:

"This ruins seems to be built against the mountain. It was originally built underground."

"Built in the ground? Why should it be built in the ground? Isn't it a mausoleum?" Jiang Bai felt more and more doubts.

At present, except for mausoleums and ethnic groups who live underground, there are very few buildings specifically built underground.

Judging from the Thunderbird statues that can be seen everywhere in Heguan, this civilization obviously moved on the ground.

"I don't know, let's keep going inside."

This ruins is connected to an underground space. Walking along the underground space, the space becomes larger and larger.

Based on his observations of the surrounding environment when he came down and comparing the plots they walked through, Jiang Bai can be sure that their current location is already at the bottom of the sea.

While exploring, Hutao asked about the Heart of God, "When was the Emperor's Heart of God taken away? You never told me."

Jiang Bai scratched his head, "Ah? Didn't I say it? I thought I should have said it."

Hutao was speechless, how could he forget such an important thing?

"The heart of God is in the hands of the old man, and he gave it to me."

Jiang Bai told the truth.

"That's right." Hutao nodded.

In her understanding, Zhongli was an immortal wandering around the world like Grandma Ping, so there was nothing wrong with the emperor giving the heart of God to Zhongli.

As for whether Zhongli will be an emperor, it's better not to think in this direction.

"But how did the fools take away Thor's Heart of God?"

"It's also given out."

Jiang Bai hid the important content of who gave it.

If you give the heart of God to a crowd of fools, it’s best not to let others know about it.

"Doesn't that mean that the next target of the Fools is Xumi?"

"Probably so. I'll go to Xumi to check the situation when I have time."

While chatting, I found three feathers.

However, the three of them were not in a hurry to go back and continued to explore the underground ruins.

Yidou shouted to the two of them, "There is a mural here, I found it!"

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao rushed over quickly. Under the reflection of the flames, the murals on the walls were extremely clear.

This mural is very beautifully made, and even now, who knows how long ago, the content on it is still clearly visible.

The content on the mural is also very simple, it is a scene of sacrifice and worship.

The king wearing a crown worshiped towards the crescent moon in the sky. In addition to the moon, there were stars and clouds in the sky, and below the moon were three mountains.

There are also some vague words in the blank spaces of the mural.

"Hall Master, do you recognize these characters?" Jiang Bai did not recognize these ancient characters at all.

"I don't know. It's different from the current common language."

"I'll take a photo and go back to find someone I know and ask."

Jiang Bai took out the photo camera and took a picture of the entire mural, and then took a separate picture of the text.

"What do you mean by this mural? Why does this king lead his people to worship the moon? And these three mountains, do they refer to the three high mountains of Heguan mentioned by Aru?" Yi Dou looked at it. Looking at the murals, the more I look at them, the more doubts I have.

"Worshiping towards the moon, do you think it could be the primitive worship of nature by the ancients?" Jiang Bai felt that this possibility existed.

Of course, this possibility only exists when civilization is backward and ignorant.

This primitive worship disappears when people realize the principles of nature.

Chapter 557 Where did the holy relic come from?

"There is too little information about a mural. Let's look around first."

Several people quickly found another mural, this one was simpler.

A sea of ​​clouds is engraved below the mural. A huge crescent moon is engraved on the sea of ​​clouds, dotted with a few stars and a few lines of unfamiliar text.

Jiang Bai also took pictures.

At a nearby location, a third mural appears in front of you.

The same moon, the same stars, the same three mountains.

The three moons have the same moon image, but there are very big differences in the painting methods, obviously for the purpose of differentiation.

Hu Tao looked at the mural thoughtfully, "These three moons remind me of a book."

"what book?"

"A very unpopular book called "Moonlight Night in the Bamboo Forest"."

"It tells the story of a young man who meets a mysterious and beautiful woman with white hair and golden eyes."

"It sounds a bit cliché. What does it have to do with these murals?" Jiang Bai felt that this was a love story as soon as he heard it.

Why is this mural related to a love story?

"There is a passage in that book. The woman with white hair and golden eyes told a story to the boy. She said that in the long past, there were three bright moons hanging in the night sky. Their lifespans were longer than those of the Rock Gods and longer than those of Li. The bedrock of Moon Harbor is older and changes every ten years.

"Later, disaster struck, and the three sisters in the night sky turned against each other and had to die to say goodbye. However, only one of them was left with a pale body, emitting a cold light."

Walnut omits the fact that the three moons have the same lover in the story, which has no connection with these murals.

"Doesn't that mean that the story may be true? If it is true, how old is it?"

Jiang Bai calculated carefully and found that the old man has existed for more than 6000 years, and the bedrock of Liyue Port may be traced back to tens of thousands or millions of years.

Let’s calculate it based on tens of thousands of years. How on earth did the murals from tens of thousands of years ago be preserved?

"The history of Teyvat is really complicated. If I have a chance, I'll look for some books on history."

"Don't expect too much. There are very, very few books on history. The oldest ones I have read only record the Demon God War. Even scholars who study history can only learn about the history of the longer past through the ruins. I found some fragments of words.”

"What's more, there are still many places that don't record their own history. Everything is passed down by word of mouth. The history passed down to the present is already very different from the real history."

Jiang Bai sighed, "Yes, Haiji Island is a vivid example."

The history of Haiji Island seems to be very long, but there are only a few that are known to the world, and they have all undergone various magical changes in the circulation.

"But you can go to the Teaching Academy in Xumi. There are many scholars there, and there should be many people who study ancient characters and history. When the time comes, go over these characters and ask what they mean."

Jiang Bai nodded. He originally wanted to go back and ask the old man.

But considering that these texts have existed even longer than the old man, he may not necessarily know them, so finding a scholar might be an option.

Anyway, I’ll go back and show it to the old man when the time comes, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll talk about it later.

"That's wrong." Yidou felt something was not right. "If the moon in the sky dies and only the body is left, why does the moon phase still change?"

The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, none of them knew how to answer this question.

In the end, Hu Tao made the final decision, "Why do so many things? We are here to explore the ruins, not to be scholars. Let's walk around and keep looking to see if we can find any treasures."

"Even if there is a treasure, there cannot be a Mora. After all, Mora only exists when the emperor appears."

Jiang Bai hasn't found any treasures in the ruins yet, and he doesn't have much expectations for finding treasures or anything.

"You are being superficial. Aren't antiques considered treasures? For those scholars who study history, these antiques are extremely valuable. Not to mention the intact ones, even the damaged ones are valuable."

Jiang Bai felt that he was awakened, and looked around with bright eyes.

Although there are no preserved artifacts visible in the field of vision, it does not mean that there are none in the rocks or soil!

Seeing Jiang Bai take out the shovel and eager to try it, Hu Tao quickly grabbed him.

"Stop it! If this ruins are underground, what if the support collapses and we are buried? The sea is above us, and we will all die if the sea water pours down. Besides, you are short of money. What about Mora?"

"Okay." Jiang Bai put down the shovel sadly.

He certainly has no shortage of molasses.

But after all, entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed is no different from losing [-] million.

"Then I'll get a Thunderbird statue and take it back with me. I think it can be sold at a high price."

"One is enough. Things are rare and valuable."

Jiang Bai picked the best-preserved thunderbird statue and prepared to stuff it into the Sanqing Bell.

The Sanqing Bell is so cluttered that it can’t fit in without making some space.

Jiang Bai tidied it up and took out a feather from it.

This feather is very delicate. Holding it, I feel that my control over the thunder element has improved.

"Huh? Where did this come from?"

Hutao thought for a moment, "It seems to have been left behind when Thunderbird's resentment died. At that time, we were discussing whether the thunder element crystal Gudong could be eaten. We didn't pay attention to the feather, so you conveniently put it away."

This feather looked quite inconspicuous at that time, completely covered by the light of the thunder element crystal, but taken out alone, it was quite exquisite.

"It feels a bit like this wine bottle to me."

Jiang Bai took out the wine bottle and felt the power inside it.

"This should be the so-called holy relic, right?"

Jiang Bai was a little excited. This is the real treasure. Why did he ignore it?

"Probably. The holy relic is very precious and rare. The power inside can enhance the strength of the holder of the Eye of God. It is a rare treasure. However, the effect of one is limited, so it is best to use it in a set."

Hu Tao has research on holy relics, and she has them herself.
