Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 18 The Adventure Begins
Dihuazhou, named after the large area of ​​Dihua growing in the shoal, is a natural shoal wetland in the north of Liyue.

Alluvial plains and shoals formed by the flow direction of the Bishui River.The waterfall in the northwest corner has a certain reputation among tourists.With abundant aquatic plants and rich products, it is a fertile soil around Qingce Mountain.

Water pools are everywhere, river networks are criss-crossed, and a rich ecosystem is formed by a variety of flora and fauna, which also constitutes an excellent landscape in the eyes of tourists.

At the same time, Dihuazhou is also the main road from Mengde to Liyue by land, so caravans often stop here.The Wangshu Inn built deep in the river beach is a landmark building here.

Today, a group of 4 people broke the tranquility of the morning and came to the landmark of Dihuazhou, the Wangshu Inn built on a huge rock pillar.

Half a month ago, Xingqiu came to Wanmin hall excitedly with Chongyun, saying that he found an ancient map, which recorded an ancient ruin, which may contain the remains of ancient knights, and asked Xiangling to help prepare some dry food. He and Chongyun are going to explore.

The place marked on the map in Xingqiu's hand is Mizusawa Ogihara in Dihuazhou. According to Liyue folklore, this place is the place where the rustling grass and frogs sing in harmony. It is also the final resting place of countless ancient knights. Place.

So after Xingqiu got the map, he excitedly joined Chongyun, who was practicing at home, and prepared to embark on an adventure of searching for ancient knights.

And Xiangling happened to be going to Dihuazhou, not to take the same risk as Xingqiu, but wanted to pass through Dihuazhou and turn into Shimen, and then go to Mengde after passing through Shimen.

That's right, Xiangling wanted to go to Mond, and after listening to a large number of Mond adventure stories that were half true and half false, Xiangling was very interested in the forest pigs in Qingquan Town mentioned in the stories, as well as the ancient snow pigs frozen in the snow mountains. , generated very, very great interest.

And what interested Xiangling the most was the rumored demonic dragon. Yes, she wanted to try the taste of dragon meat.

And Wang Daoyi was the one who was called by the worried Master Mao to become Xiangling's bodyguard.

The four of them traveled overnight, wading through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at Wangshu Inn half a month later.

In fact, according to the normal speed, it should take them at least a month to reach the Wangshu Inn.

It was because Xingqiu was afraid of being discovered by the people of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, so he specially advanced the departure time, and several of them were all holders of the God's Eye, and their physical fitness was good. After traveling day and night, they arrived half a month earlier. Lookout Inn.

"It's so high!" Xiangling sighed when she came to the bottom of Wangshu Inn.

Although I often go out in the wild looking for ingredients, they are basically in Tianheng Mountain, near Qingcezhuang, and it is the first time I have come to Dihuazhou and Xiangling.

Wang Daoyi didn't feel much. Compared with those shocking buildings in his previous life, Wangshu Inn only gave him some novelty, not shock.

"Wangshu Inn is located between Dihuazhou and Guiliyuan, surrounded by deserted people, so the higher it is built, the better it can guide pedestrians!" Wang Daoyi explained to Xiangling with a smile.

"Four guests, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?" Although it was still early in the morning, the waiter of the Wangshu Inn had already greeted the guests in front of the door.

"Get us some breakfast, for four people, one guest room!" Xing Qiu untied the sign on his waist and threw it to Xiaoer, "It's from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce!"

Xiaoer took the jade token thrown by Xingqiu, and recognized that it was the brand of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, usually only the top management of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had it.

Wangshu Inn, as the intersection between Liyue and Mengde Commercial Road, naturally cooperates with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Er took Xingqiu's jade card and led the four of them into the inn. He had to take the jade card to register with the shopkeeper before returning the jade card to Xing Qiu.

Wang Daoyi walked into the inn with everyone, keenly aware that someone seemed to be watching him,

He looked at the roof of Wangshu Inn.

[It should be Mandrill looking at me! 】

In recent days, he went to Changsheng Hall to find Zhongli almost every day, and listened to operas and drank tea with Zhongli every day. Zhongli was also willing to take him with him, probably using Wang Daoyi as a mobile wallet.

Frequent contact with Zhongli will inevitably carry Zhongli's aura on his body. Although it is very faint, to Mandrill, Zhongli's aura is as eye-catching as a bright light in the dark.

Shaking his head, Wang Dao looked back, since it was Mandrill, it's all right.

He also didn't want to find Mandrill, he wasn't familiar with it yet, so there was no need to post it, and when he finished licking Zhong Li, Mandrill would be within reach.
-
The top floor of Wangshu Inn.

Mandrill also withdrew his gaze from looking at Wang Daoyi.

[Dijun's breath, is this mortal, Dijun's friend in the mortal world? 】

Mandrill was contemplating, and seemed to have sensed something. He looked into the depths of the Dihuazhou waters, and turned into a cyan ray of light, and went away through the air.
-
"Chongyun and I will rest at the Wangshu Inn for a morning, and then set off into Mizusawa Ogihara in the afternoon to find the ruins. How about you two?"

After breakfast, Xingqiu began to plan his next move.

"I don't care, it mainly depends on what Xiangling wants."

Wang Dao shrugged his shoulders. He really had no idea, so he was going to follow Xiangling on a picnic trip.

Please, this is Liyue's little cook, if you follow her, you can starve yourself.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiangling swallowed the shrimp dumplings in embarrassment, "Then it's the same as you, rest first, and set off for Shimen in the afternoon, so I won't spend the night here."

The cooks at Wangshu Inn are really good. After eating all the breakfast on the table, the four of them went to the guest room to rest.

Because Wang Daoyi and Xiangling didn't stay here overnight, Xingqiu only had one guest room. As for Chongyun, of course he shared a room with Xingqiu.

As a knight-errant who travels the rivers and lakes, Xingqiu knows that the most taboo thing is to be separated from his companions when he is away from home, so when he and Chongyun go out, they share the same room, and if they are in the wild, they are also in the same tent.

Time passed and the sun was rising.

The four of them rested in the guest room all morning. Fortunately, they are all holders of the God's Eye. After traveling for fifteen days and nights in a row, they recovered after resting all morning. If they were ordinary people, they would have been lying down Can't move on the bed.

The four packed up their things and set off separately. Xingqiu and Chongyun entered Mizusawa Ogihara to search for the ruins on the map, while Wang Daoyi and Xiangling set off for Shimen.

Leaving the Wangshu Inn, they walked straight north, passed the statue of the Seven Heavens God in Dihuazhou, and after several days of trekking, the two finally could see the gate connecting Mond and Liyue from a distance—Shimen.

"Xiangling, how do you feel, are you tired?"

Seeing the fine sweat on Xiangling's forehead, Wang Daoyi expressed concern.

"It's okay!" Xiangling wiped off the fine sweat on his forehead, "It's just a little hot, the sun is really bright today, Brother Daoyi, how far do we go?"

"We have already passed the statue of the Seven Heavens and the stone bridge, and then we will pass through a small market, and we will arrive at Shimen." Wang Dao looked up at the sky. The sun is indeed bright today, and it is hotter than the previous few days. "Estimate, based on our With the speed, it is estimated that we can arrive at Shimen before dinner."

"Then let's speed up!"

Hearing that the destination was not far away, Xiangling showed a happy smile, and sped up with vigor.
