In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

"—a little understanding of the doorway."

Hearing a word suddenly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "...Huh? Huh?!"

Since Zhong Li agreed to come, he naturally wanted to do something instead of simply sightseeing and preaching: "There are many rumors circulating about the seal, which seem to be messy, but in fact imply the method of unlocking the seal..."

"There are several strange elemental obelisks around here..." Wan Yan shared her experience as much as possible for Zhongli's reference: "In order to investigate this seal, I specially invited someone who holds the "God's Eye" As a result, nothing happened after the obelisk was lit, and then it went out..."

Zhong Xin said slowly to Ming Jing.

"Actually, not only do they need to be activated at the same time, but if the steles here are not lit in the correct order, the seal still cannot be released."

"The mystery here is hidden in a sentence about the war of demon gods."

""Going out of Tianheng in the south, entering Yaoguang in the east, climbing Jueyun in the west, visiting Qingce in the north, the land is depressed, the people are dying, and the Liyue is so vast that it is difficult to accommodate a single place of peace."

"..."

Clement was stunned when he heard it: "Nanchu...what the hell? Why are Liyue people so difficult to understand!"

No one cares about him anymore, Wan Yan thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up: "I, I seem to have an impression of this sentence! I remember it has something to do with the "Salt Demon God"! "

"That's right." Zhongli nodded, and said eloquently: "This kind and benevolent god, in order to provide a safe place for the human beings who have suffered from the war, has traveled all over Liyue at the risk of danger."

"In those days, the gods were at war, and the flames of war were raging. Even a moment of peace was a luxury, but what she finally found—is the land we now call "the salt of the earth"..."

The story naturally has a follow-up, but was interrupted by Wan Yan indignantly: "Unfortunately... this peace was finally broken by Morax!"

She couldn't hold back her anger towards Morax, making Xia Tian feel curious, could it be that this is a descendant of a demon god?Shouldn't it be blackened and turned into a BOSS?

It's still Clement's reality, he only has treasure in his eyes: "Stop talking about these ancient stories, since we have clues, let's open the seal as soon as possible!"

He was prepared and carried dozens of glass bottles of different colors, which were filled with the power of different elements... This is a magic bottle that allows those who do not have the eyes of God to use elemental power in the wild.

Clement went to light up the stele according to the order guided by Zhongli, while Wan Yan was further developing his own conjecture.

"The meaning of the seal is mostly to hide some kind of fact!"

"The "Demon God of Salt" is kind and benevolent, loved by everyone, and has strong powers, so he will not leave behind anything shameful. "

"Then...the one who wants to hide the truth is most likely the murderer Morax."

"..."

Zhong Li had no expression on his face, he didn't open his mouth to argue, but just quietly looked at the sealed hole.

He may have his own calculations, but Xia Tian couldn't hold back, and retorted: "It's a sneak attack and a concealment, it doesn't seem like something that Lord Yan did?"

Wan Yan was in a fit of anger, and when she saw Xia Tian defending Morax, she was about to start arguing.

Fortunately, Clemente came back with good news: "Are you still arguing? This kind of thing doesn't matter. There must still be various treasures of the "Salt Demon God" in the ruins. Let's go and get them first! "

The enchantment was lifted, and there was a deep resentment going down, I don't know how deep it is, and I don't know where it leads. Instead of being timid, the two young archaeologists were eager to try.

Chapter 813 Liyue is no longer Liyue of Morax

Going deep into the cave, just in front of the ruins door, Zhongli blocked the entrance with his hand,

"Before entering the ruins, I have a proposal."

"Well, please tell me, sir."

Wan Yan convinced Zhongli's talent and learning, and helped her break the seal of the relic, so as to get a glimpse of the truth... No matter what kind of suggestion it is, she will take it and listen to it.

But Clemente rolled his eyes and didn't respond, as if he had a wrong mind.

Zhongli said: "I would like to ask you two to sign a contract, the content is: "Take things in order, one at a time", to show your sincerity, you can choose, and there is no need to add me and my friends to the sequence. "

Uh, Xia Tian also wants some treasures, so it's hard to talk about it.

He wasn't asking for money, but Ningguang and Mona both liked antiques, so he could get two to please them.

"I don't agree!" The thoughtful Clement held an opposing attitude, and he didn't want to refute Zhongli's face, and he needed him to help him identify the value of the treasure, so he softened his tone: "I mean... This half-baked archaeologist didn't do anything, how can he share the harvest with me?"

The method of unlocking the seal was taught by Zhong Li, but the process of unlocking the seal was done by himself... Why should we be divided?

He was not a fool, he had already guessed that this archaeologist named "Wan Yan" was just like himself, it was a fake at all, he just knew some history of "Demon God of Salt".

"I don't agree either!" Wan Yan was also in a hurry. She knew that fools have no good things. This Clemente knows nothing about cultural relics and only wants to make money. He is a complete villain: "Hmph! He can only ruin" Artifacts left behind by the Demon God of Salt!I can not accept! "

Thus, the situation froze.

"Then... if the "contract" cannot be established, I can no longer serve as a consultant. "Zhong Li is transformed from a stubborn stone, no matter what the situation is, he can be calm and calm: "What treasures and traps are hidden in this ruins, it depends on the experience of the two of you to identify. "

Another threat without a threatening tone.

The two of them knew how much they weighed, let alone whether they had the ability to identify the treasures, they might even find it hard to find the treasures, there must be many organs in the ruins that needed to be deciphered, without Zhongli's knowledge, it might be difficult to move a single step.

"This, this... well, I really can't believe this guy..."

Clement is a person who seeks money, and it is better to get a little less than nothing, and after getting the treasure, how to divide it up, and how many people will share it, there is no way to say!

He pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Okay, since it is the relic of the sealed "Salt Demon God", even if you can only get half of it, it is still enough to make money. "

Wan Yan wasn't doing it for money in the first place. In order to seek the truth about the death of the "Salt Demon God", it's okay for her to give up money.

"I can agree to the contract, but I have one request..." Wan Yan clenched her fists and looked at Shen Shen in front of her: "Mr. Zhongli, if you find out the truth about the "Salt Demon God", please judge fairly , even if the truth is against Moraxel! "

She believed in her conjecture, and believed that there was evidence that "Morax killed Heulia with despicable means" hidden in the ruins!

"This is the exchange condition, I can accept it." Zhongli had no objection, he gave Xia Tian one last look before turning around: "Then, let's go."

Whether it's Wan Yan or Clemente, they are all irrelevant people... Xia Tian is the real companion that Zhongli invited.

………………

………………

The ruins have been sealed for an unknown number of years, and the years have washed it with a thick layer of moss. Under the ruined walls, the outline of the ancient palace can still be discerned vaguely.

Under Zhongli's guidance, several traps passed smoothly.

Walking in depth, I saw many snow-white and crystal-clear statues along the way, with lifelike facial features, as if they were alive not long ago.

There are hundreds of statues, with various expressions and postures, countless, which reminds Xia Tian of the great Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

With a light touch, the fingers are covered with a layer of rough "gray sand". The material of these statues is actually "salt"!

Seeing such a strange scene, Wanyan's throat was dry: "These are... sculptures?"

"No, they are human... probably believers of the "Demon God of Salt". "

"what??"

The answer Zhongli gave was shocking.Looking at the statue, I can no longer appreciate it, but only suspect: what is hidden in the depths of the ruins?Why do followers of the demon god turn into salted statues?

But Zhongli didn't explain in detail, but just kept walking, and everyone followed behind.

The first room of the palace is no longer the glory of the past, the utensils are scattered all over the place, most of them blended with the salinization of the ground, and occasionally a few escaped.

Clement was like a monkey catching corn. He took one when he saw one, and asked another when he saw one. He kept saying, "How much is this worth?"

According to the contracts selected sequentially, the first one must of course choose the best one, and the best one must be in the depths.

So he didn't bother Zhong Li to come to identify it, but asked the archaeologist Wan Yan.

When I got the answer, I asked three questions and didn't know anything.

Annoyed in my heart, I cursed angrily: "You are also called an archaeologist?! You can't tell this, and you don't know that. Are you good at it!"

Wan Yan felt guilty, and hurriedly defended: "I...I have been studying the "Salt Demon God", and I am not a businessman who sells antiques!Isn't it normal to have a specialization in art and art? "

Clemente snorted coldly in disdain: "I keep saying that I am an archaeologist, but I don't know anything about the ruins around here! I don't know as much as I do! I don't even know how much it's worth!"

Opening and shutting is money, and Wan Yan has long been disgusted with it. Now that there is a quarrel, she can't bear it: "You! You have fallen into the eyes of money! I have been asking me how much this is worth, and how much that is worth. Pull! Could it be that the value of cultural relics is Mora!"

"You're the one, digging up cultural relics every day, you've got dust in your head!" Clemente said confidently, "The value of cultural relics is measured by Mora, isn't it the most straightforward! It also fits Liyue's tradition!"

"..."

The quarrel would be endless, and in short, both of them could not understand each other.

There was a buzzing in the ear, and Xia Tian couldn't help but seal the mouths of these two people. Zhongli acted as a peacemaker and brought good news: "Take it easy, you two, there may be something good in front of you." treasure."

The appearance of the treasure resolved the dispute.

In an old exhibition stand, there is an exquisite jar. This "jar" is different from other utensils scattered on the ground. It emits a faint white light, and it is not simple at a glance.

Wan Yan rushed over immediately and looked into the "jar": "This one is half filled with salt."

Salt?Salt is everywhere around here, and the salt now is not as precious as it was thousands of years ago.

Clemente, who was in the middle of the rush, was very disappointed: "It's just a salt jar, it seems that the "Salt Demon God" is a poor demon god! "

"As far as I know, it's not ordinary. It's only half, but there's always half—in other words, endless."

After Zhongli finished his explanation in a calm manner, Clemente's attitude turned 180 degrees. Looking at the jar again, his eyes glowed: "What?! Even if I keep pouring it out, the salt in it won't change. Reduce it!"

Zhongli nodded affirmatively: "Exactly."

Xia Tian is listening to it, does the story feel familiar?Is this a reprint of the "cornucopia" legend?

Because of the characteristics of the lines on his right hand, when he entered the palace, he had already discovered the residual power of the "Salt Demon God". Exhausted, naturally it is ordinary.

But before it is exhausted, it is not a big problem to make a lot of money, it can be regarded as a treasure that can make a fortune.

After hearing this, Wan Yan sighed like a fan girl: "It can produce endless salt, as expected, the power possessed by the "Salt Demon God" is very powerful! "

She relaxed a little, the "salt shaker" was already held in Clemente's arms, and it deliberately hung upside down, and it really wouldn't decrease.

"After tossing and tossing for so long, I finally met my treasure! This thing belongs to me!" He caressed the salt shaker happily, his eyes full of greed: "I just need to pour out the salt, make tens of thousands of bags, and sell it to me!" Salt can make a fortune!"

Hopping like smoke: "Hey! How can the inheritance of the "Salt Demon God" be used for such superficial things! "

No one paid her any attention.

Zhongli abided by the "contract" and reminded: "If Mr. Clement wants this "salt cup", then according to the contract, the next item belongs to Ms. Wanyan. "

"No problem, no problem, hehe, how can there be something more valuable than this?" Clemente fully promised, but he had already had a bad idea in his heart.

Wan Yan didn't come here to hunt for treasures to make a fortune. Although this "salt cup" is a treasure of an artifact, it doesn't help much in researching the truth about the death of "Salt Demon God". There is also a "contract", so there is no need to fight.

The four of them continued on and came to the deeper second palace.

More and more believers were salted along the way, and their postures and expressions became more and more abundant. Some bowed and bowed, some knelt and kowtowed, and some turned and fled. Their expressions were all exaggerated, as if they were afraid?

A "ruler" was fixed on the palace booth, which was similar to the "salt cup". It had an ordinary appearance, emitting a faint white light, and the power of a demon god was attached to it.

In view of the previous misjudgment, this time Clement learned the wisdom and quietly waited for Zhongli's explanation.

Wan Yan spoke first, using her little knowledge: "This is... If I remember correctly, this should be an ancient measuring instrument?"

"That's true...but the "Demon God of Salt" also has power here. "

Zhongli seemed to know everything well: "Once this "salt ruler" is inserted into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt like rising water. The deeper it goes, the more salt grains will be. ". "

!!!

If the "salt cup" is half and half poured slowly, then this salt ruler is truly created out of nothing!The efficiency is more than a hundred times higher!

"This, this... isn't this more powerful than the "Salt Cup"? ! Clemente's eyes widened, and he had quietly put down the "salt cup" in his hand.

"Then, according to the contract, this "salt ruler" belongs to Ms. Wanyan. "

Zhongli made a fair announcement according to the contract, but was strongly opposed by Clemente: "No! I don't agree! I rowed the boat and unsealed the seal, so why should I suffer! And this little girl is useless at all. , why did you give her something!"

Sure enough, the ending of the story is still like this, the bad guys are the bad guys.

When encountering this kind of villain earlier, Xia Tian would probably be jealous... But with the increase in strength and mentality, I just find it extremely ridiculous.

He doesn't want to snatch it, does he?Grab something in front of Mengde Fengshen and Liyue Rock God?

"Since you have made a contract, you should abide by it... Could it be that you want to break the contract?"

Ignoring Zhongli's warning, Clemente said arrogantly, "What about the destruction? I can almost understand the mechanism in this ruins, so you are useless... After all, I am the one who hired you." , why should I follow your rules?"

"Because you made a contract." Zhongli really has a good temper, and at this time he can reason slowly and seek a famous teacher: "The King of Rocks once said, "The contract is established, and those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks." "

"That is the god of your Liyue, I am from Zhidong, and what I believe in is—"

Clemente's reason was not valid, and Zhong Li directly interrupted: "But you are in the land of Liyue!"

The tone was quite heavy, and the eyes of God on the waist were extremely bright, as if the power had descended.

But Clemente didn't hesitate at all. He glanced at the three of them, and he didn't know where the courage came from, and shouted: "So what? These two blind people are trash, and you are the only one..."

He reached into his chest, and took out a pendant similar to the eye of God, which flickered on and off, like an "evil eye".
