Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 173 Is This You?

"Are these people crazy?"

Hai Xi and the others continued to go deeper, only to find that those foreigners who rushed in first seemed unable to wait to run, and landed on all fours, rushing forward like wild animals.

The blood lines on their faces were bright red, blood oozed from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and they looked like evil spirits.

"Treasure! Where is the treasure?!"

There seems to be only one thought left in their consciousness - to find the treasure hidden here!
For this goal, they even did not hesitate to kill each other.

But after killing and killing, no one can persist until the end.
"This valley... is evil!"

Wang Ye, who had witnessed the whole process, had his eyes flickering, and carefully inspected the bodies of those people, "The cause of their death is that the agitation of Qi and blood exceeded the limit that the body can bear.

"Exercising Qi is too much..."

This cause of death left everyone speechless, "The reason why they can move Qi is the credit of that valley, right? Can this thing not stop?"

"I am afraid that is so,"

Ma Xianhong's expression was solemn, "It seems that that thing can't be added to the self-cultivation furnace casually. It's not a gift from a fairy, but a temptation from a demon. Thinking about it this way, it's particularly in line with the style of the Dongfu of the leader of all sexes."

"Do trespassers die? It's cruel!"

Haixi shook her head, "But I still can't explain how those monkeys survived."

While speaking, several people had reached the deepest part of the cave, but there seemed to be nothing here.

"What about the promised treasure?"

Feng Baobao blinked and looked at everyone with "wisdom".

"There should be organs, let's look for them."

They dispersed and searched carefully, only to find one anomaly in the end.

"These footprints are the only clue."

It was a pair of intact human footprints sunken into the ground about an inch deep.

Zhang Chulan stood up and moved Qi on the soles of his feet, but nothing happened.

"Do you see what's on top of my head?"

"……No."

After tossing and tossing for a long time, everyone who got nothing had a bitter face. At this moment, Hai Xi suddenly squatted down and moved his fingertips, focusing heavily on a special position of those footprints.

What's amazing is that, with his point, the two locations glowed blue tonight, as if some mechanism had been touched. With the sound of "rumbling", the ground slowly cracked, shaped like Taiji, revealing a downward spiral staircase.

"Run, Brother Hai! How did you find out?" Zhang Chulan yelled.

"Damn it." Haixi smiled.

"Yongquan point?" Wang also stared at the position where his finger fell thoughtfully.

Continuing to descend, there is another empty cave at the end. There is a small door on the side wall, and four large characters are written on the horizontal inscription——Personal Rare.

On the side walls of the cave, there are still many traces of smearing, few of which can be identified.Several people searched scatteredly, and finally pieced together a few relatively complete sentences.

"This method is true, wonderful and more true, because I am unique from others. I know that the upside-down is from the ridge, and whoever knows the floating dust will determine the guest of honor. The golden tripod wants to keep the mercury in the water, and the jade pond first enters the mercury. The magical power of the fire is not the end, and the moon appears in the deep pool."

"This is... the Enlightenment Chapter of Ziyang Mountain people?"

As the only foreigner who was born in a major at the scene, Wang also immediately recognized the origin of this text, "By the way, if you think about it this way, the rareness of the human body is also the content of the Enlightenment Chapter. So this is the cave of Zhang Boduan from Ziyang Mountain?!"

He was very excited, Zhang Boduan was one of the five patriarchs of the Southern sect of Taoism, and one of the legendary sages of the Jindan School who transformed into flying immortals.

"In this way, if the valley outside was built by Master Ziyang, it would make sense." Wang also pondered. No one knows what is so special about the Flying Immortals, so let's just assume that they are omnipotent. "As it is now, Wu Gensheng probably tampered with it, just like he erased the inscription here."

Speaking of this, the king immediately gritted his teeth with hatred, it was the legacy of the soaring Taoist sages!He was ruined by this violent bastard who had no roots!

If this matter got out sooner, he might face the mass pursuit of Daoist monks!

"There are still words here, but the font is different!"

Barron found something on the other side, "Nine-curve-pan-huan-hole—"

"Huh? That's not from Journey to the West..."

This was the first thing Zhang Chulan thought of, "Is it the monster's cave? How could people from Ziyang Mountain give their cave such a name?"

"So it's obviously not caused by the Ziyang real person, but rootless."

Haixi said lightly, "He's slandering, or rather, satirizing Ziyang Mountain people!"

"He called Master Ziyang a monster?!" Zhang Chulan was startled, feeling that this guy deserved to be the head of the whole family, and he had no scruples in doing things.If this matter gets out, they will be besieged by the Taoist sect, right?

"It's not that extreme..."

Hai Xi laughed, "It's just a story to insinuate. Since you know the origin of the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, you also know what the story is about?"

"Of course, that's the cave of the Nine-headed Lion Nine-Ling Yuansheng. The Nine-Ling Yuansheng is good at being a teacher, so he raised a litter of lion spirits as a disaster... In the end, those lion spirits were all killed, and the Nine-Ling Yuansheng was also taken back by Taiyi Save Ku Tianzun."

Zhang Chulan roughly described the plot in memory.

"In that case, do you still remember how Guangmu Heavenly King commented on Jiuling Yuansheng?"

"Ah, this..." Zhang Chulan scratched her head, who would remember such details?
At this moment, the king also took over the conversation: "King Guangmu said: 'Because you want to be a teacher, you have provoked this litter of lions!' Therefore, Wugensheng is mocking the real Ziyang for 'being a teacher in disorder', causing endless disasters."

So far, the general context of the matter has become clear.

"So this place was first built by Master Ziyang, starting from the valley stone carvings, probably for the purpose of selecting successors?"

Haixi concluded, "Anyone who can make it all the way here, no matter whether they are aliens or not, will be taught the method of Qi movement in the valley, and then pass through the gates, solve the puzzle, and finally come here and get the original inheritance engraved on the stone wall, let's call it the true biography of Ziyang. It is the traces of immortals. Only those engravings in the valley can allow an ordinary person to learn Zhou Tian Xing Qi after walking through it once. One can imagine the gold content here. I am afraid that they will all become big enough to stir up the situation."

"So, Wugensheng doesn't agree with Ziyangshanren's way of inheritance? So you want to erase his inheritance, or even modify the engraving in the valley? Let those who have learned how to practice qi not stop, and carry themselves to death?" Zhang Chulan followed the train of thought.

"The head of the whole sex, the method is cruel!"

"You said, the Eight Wonders... Could it be that they comprehended it through the engravings of Master Ziyang?" Ma Xianhong asked suddenly.

"This...is hard to say."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, "Prince Ziyang is called the ancestor of alchemy. If he can pass down such things as the origin of the body of energy and the thief of Liuku, I have no doubts. However, the extraordinary skills of the Talisman Sect's Tongtianlu, and the machine refining school's magical machine hundred refining are obviously not in the same way as him. Unless he had other supernatural powers when he ascended, it is unlikely."

"Feisheng, maybe he left a passage to the fairyland here and Wugensheng discovered it?"

"If you want to put it this way, don't the sects with Ascension Patriarchs such as Tianshi Mansion and Wudang School all have passages to the fairy world? Old Wang, what do you think?"

"I haven't seen it anyway."

Wang Ye put his hands behind his head, with a straw in his mouth that he didn't know where he picked up, looking like he was not interested.

"Forget it, the things left by Master Ziyang have been ruined by Wu Gensheng, let's see if he has left anything new."

There is a stone platform in the center of the cave, and a small box is placed on the platform.

"Is this what rootlessness left behind?"

"What could it be?"

"Anyway, it can't be a cultivation technique. Since he opposes Master Ziyang being a teacher indiscriminately, it is obviously impossible for him to leave the inheritance casually."

After opening it, the contents inside were indeed unexpected.

"What is this, a pebble?"

"A painting... Hiss, this person... Feng Baobao, is this you?"

"Huh?!" *N
The other things left behind by Rootless are unremarkable, such as small stones, wooden combs, etc., which feel like toys collected by children at random, but this portrait is the only one.

"Is this really a baby?"

Wang Ye, Ma Xianhong, Hai Xi, and Zhang Chulan got together and asked Feng Baobao to hold the portrait parallel to his face.

Well, the more I look at it, the more I look like it, but I am a little younger.

"Wu Gensheng, why is there a portrait of Feng Baobao here? It's obviously her appearance when she was a child."

Wang Ye frowned, "Zhang Chulan, I remember you said..."

"That's right, when Master Xu first met Sister Bao'er, she was already this old." Zhang Chulan had nothing to hide, at least he could trust the people in front of him.

"At that time, it was more than 70 years ago. That is to say, this painting was painted at least before the Jiashen Rebellion, and it was not re-arranged after escaping the rebellion without root." Ma Xianhong analyzed.

"It's unbelievable, it's really unbelievable! Feng Baobao's life experience can be related to Wugensheng, and it's not shallow. Xiao Zhang, are you ready?" Haixi asked very seriously.

"I……"

Zhang Chulan hesitated.

He is actually not interested in the Jiashen Rebellion itself, or in other words, what most people care about, is not interested in the production process of the Eight Wonders.What he wanted to know was the relationship between this incident and Feng Baobao, and to find out Feng Baobao's past, such as parents' information, family relatives and so on.

But now, things are complicated.

Feng Baobao has a relationship with Wu Gensheng.

Wugensheng is not only the most critical clue to the Jiashen Rebellion, as the head of the whole family, he has many enemies.Among other things, Lu Jin, one of the ten men, has a blood feud with him.

If it turns out that Feng Baobao and Wu Gensheng are friends rather than enemies, then once the news spreads that Wu Gensheng caused grievances back then, Feng Baobao may have to bear the blame.

This is not much easier than exposing the special circumstances of her immortality.

So Haixi asked this question, the consequences of the investigation may be very dangerous, should we continue?
Even for Zhang Chulan, it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Sister Baoer, what do you think?"

"Check it out!"

Feng Baobao replied nonchalantly.

"No, Sister Bao'er, do you really understand the danger here?" Zhang Chulan was a little broken, and Feng Baobao's casual posture seemed to mean that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.

"If I really have a relationship with him, even if we don't investigate, the relationship will still be there, and it will be exposed sooner or later. Why don't we take the initiative to investigate, at least we can be mentally prepared."

Feng Baobao's big black and white eyes shone with wisdom, "Just like this valley, if we choose not to come, will the photos fall into the hands of those people? Who knows how many such clues there are, in our hands, it is safer than others, right?"

"Ah... that makes sense."

Zhang Chulan scratched her head.

The reason is very simple. If the clues and evidence exist objectively, then if we don’t take them, others will.Which situation is more dangerous?Of course it is the latter!

Rather than worrying about being discovered by others, it is better for us to hold it in our own hands.

"Baby, be witty!"

Haixi gave her a thumbs up.

"That is,"

Feng Baobao looked smug, "They always say I'm a melon, but I'm not a melon at all. Most of the time, I'm very witty!"

"Okay, on this matter, I agree with your wit."

Zhang Chulan sighed very tiredly.

"However, it is best not to keep this portrait, and follow this principle in the future: write down the clues and destroy the evidence." Hai Xi emphasized, "Minimize the risk as much as possible."

"Understood!" Zhang Chulan nodded heavily, "But I have to show this thing to my third brother and fourth brother."

"Xu San and Xu Si? They belong to the company!" Ma Xianhong frowned.

"But starting from Master Xu, their care for Sister Bao'er for decades is not fake," Zhang Chulan spread her hands, "Strictly speaking, to Sister Bao'er, they are more reliable than us. In fact, the third brother has been really worried about the two of us leaving the company to join Xinjie."

"Tch, what does it matter if they don't mind?" Ma Xianhong looked disdainful.

"Don't be so hostile, everyone is doing it for the good of Sister Baoer, believe me, it can be done!" Zhang Chulan promised with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you over there,"

Hai Xi brought the topic back on track, "Continue to talk about how to continue to pursue this clue."

"I think, since Wu Gensheng knew Feng Baobao, and Zhang Chulan's grandfather seemed to know her too, can we infer that among the 36 people who became sworn brothers back then, there were still people who knew her?"

Wang also mused, "As far as I know, although most of the 36 thieves died unexpectedly, some of them were not publicly executed. If we can find them, maybe..."

"For example? Does Lao Wang know who is still alive?" Zhang Chulan asked, then turned to Baron, "Brother Baron, do you know where your master is?"

"He did not take me as an apprentice,"

Barron's tone was somewhat regretful, "I met him in the snow-capped mountains back then, when..."
