After returning from the Hall of Rebirth, An Jin planned to go to Guiliyuan.

When passing by Guiliyuan that day, An Jin could always feel heartache in his heart when he saw the ruins hidden among the grass and trees. At that time, he thought it was just his sensitive heart's reflection of the lost civilization.

That's all.

But now he knows, I'm afraid it's not some sentimentality, but real heartache and regret. The devil's intuition sometimes has the power to touch cause and effect, so An Jin's feeling is 100% accurate.

"In Gui Liyuan, a piece of my past, strength and soul may be hidden..."

You must investigate! You must pursue it!

According to what Zhongli said, if you don't want to be sad, then don't explore; but An Jin is definitely not that kind of person. Everything in the past is an integral part of An Jin, and he definitely doesn't want to give it up unless necessary.

"Ah Qi, I plan to go to Guiliyuan to investigate some things, so I may not be at home during this period."

Ah Qi: "What? Going to Guiliyuan? I want to go too! I want to go too, please!"

"You..." An Jin wanted to refuse, but had no choice but because Ah Qi was really sincere, "Forget it, just follow me. Not only will there be no profit, but there will also be danger."

"I understand!"

So, An Jin and Ah Qi once again took the merchant's carriage and set off from Liyue Port.

This north-south avenue runs from Liyue Port in the south to Mondstadt in the north. There is also a large waterway in the middle connected to Fontaine. Therefore, it is the most famous and busiest trade road in the entire continent. There are many business travelers and many merchants.

I am willing to give a ride to nearby travelers.

Leaving Liyue Port, we entered other places in Yunlaihai. To the north of Liyue Port is a mountainous area. The last time An Jin and Ah Qi completed the mission of the Adventurers Association was in this mountainous area. There is also a mountain in the mountain.

The town was formed based on this trade route.

After passing the town and passing through the mountains, you will enter a flat plain. This large piece of land heading east and north to the junction of Mond Snow Mountain is a beautiful place called Qiongjiye. Guiliyuan is Qiongjiye.

a part of.

The land here is flat, the soil is fertile, and the water is abundant. It is definitely a good place for humans to settle, and it is indeed the case. Judging from the background story revealed in Genshin Impact, Guiliyuan is where the original city of Liyue was established.

But now it has become a deserted ruin, with only elemental monsters and Qiuqiu people wandering in it.

When they arrived at the place, An Jin and Ah Qi said goodbye to the kind business travelers and went deep into the wilderness.

"What we need to do this time is to keep going deep into various ruins, just to find one thing."

"What?"

"Ley Vein Tree, Silver Ancient Tree, or some other name."

"Wow! That's a plot that only exists in legendary stories. Why are we looking for that thing? Is it to find a holy relic? I know someone who can use special energy crystals to bring out the materialized legendary object from the silver-white ancient tree.

, you can gain blessings such as strength and luck after worshiping!"

"Well, that's roughly it. Do you know where the leyline tree is in the Guiliyuan area?"

"have no idea……"

An Jin nodded: "So, let's go find it quickly."

An Jin did some research beforehand, but Guiliyuan is still too mysterious to today's Liyue people. Since a war thousands of years ago, Guiliyuan has become a bad land, and countless demons and gods have deep resentments.

Buried in the earth's veins, this land is malicious to all creatures that are orderly and good.

As time goes by, people have long forgotten everything about Guiliyuan. Presumably, the once prosperous Guiliji has been buried in some ancient book or legend.

Of course, if he asked Zhongli directly, he could get the answer immediately, but An Jin just didn't want to ask that guy. He had a hunch that Zhongli was deliberately torturing him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so even if he asked, he might not get the answer.

.

Then An Jin and Ah Qi began a journey of exploration throughout Guiliyuan.

After going through ruins one after another and defeating monsters one after another, there was no room for materials in my backpack.

An Jin didn't feel much, but Ah Qi was almost covered in bruises.

"Otherwise, Ah Qi, you can go back."

Ah Qi shook his head stubbornly: "Brother, you know me, I don't want to give up halfway, I want to be a strong person."

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"I don't know, but I yearn for it." Ah Qi said with a smile: "I heard that as long as a person's desire is strong enough, he can call the attention of the gods, and the eyes of the gods will shine.

I don’t know how, but I really want to try it, I really want it!”

"Hmph, can you please stop crying when I give you the medicine?"

"Hey, I usually don't shout when it hurts, unless I can't bear it, ah~ it hurts~"

An Jin: "..."

"If a person's desire is strong enough, the gods will cast their gaze and grant them the Eyes of God? I'm not sure about this, but I do know one thing.

When a person's wish is strong enough, the gods will raise a blue exclamation point above his head, and then a yellow-haired fool will come over to help him fulfill his wish."

Ah Qi: "Are you serious?"

An Jin nodded seriously: "That's right, I don't know where that yellow-haired fool is yet. Stop howling. Let's continue heading north today!"

Half a month passed in a flash, and many merchants traveling on the north-south trade route knew that there were two wild archaeologists in Guiliyuan.

"Isn't it a waste of time to continue like this?" An Jin felt a little bored.

The devil doesn't care about the passage of time, but the problem is that in the context of the imminent arrival of travelers, time becomes extremely precious.

"Who can be so familiar with the relics in every place in Guiliyuan? Ah Qi, do you have any goals?"

Ah Qi crossed his arms and thought for a while, then said: "Generally speaking, archaeologists do know more, but I don't know who the scholars from Xumi are and who will be permanently stationed in Li."

moon."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! An Jin didn’t know either. He tried to recall the mission NPC who was doing the world mission, but found nothing. After all, he was not a demon in his previous life.

Just an ordinary human being.

"Ah, by the way, the treasure thief group!"

"Ah, yes, the treasure thief group!" An Jin also remembered.

In this world, if there is an organization whose skills in finding relics are comparable to those of the scholars from Xumi, there is only one - the Treasure Thief Group.

A detached group composed of God's Eye owners and ordinary people, with no program, no ideals, and only the ambition to get rich quickly. They unscrupulously open up various ruins in search of treasure chests, cultural relics or anything else that may be valuable. Someone will

Scholars from various countries are deeply disgusted with these guys who don’t pay attention to the humanistic value of cultural relics at all.

"But how are we going to find those treasure thieves?"

An Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Man will die for wealth, and birds will die for food. I don't believe these thieves will not be tempted when faced with treasure."

"Brother, where did we get the treasure?"

"We don't have it, but we can pretend we do."

"Oh, I understand, we can go out and give false information!"

An Jin nodded, "You can teach a kid, so let's do it."

Therefore, business travelers coming and going would always learn of the discovery of a new ruins from travelers returning to Liyuan by 'accidental'.

The merchants have no doubts about this news. After all, Guiliyuan had a history of nearly three thousand years before it was abandoned. There are various ruins stacked on top of each other. It is normal for there to be undiscovered secret realms. What’s more, it took two people to find it this time.

It took nearly a month to achieve results.

As An Jin expected, the members of the treasure thief group surrounded Guiliyuan like sharks that smelled fishy smell.

"Look, there's a team of five people, a gravedigger with a shovel, a scout with a throwing knife, a marksman with a crossbow, a handyman with bare hands, and the last pharmacist. Well, Ah Qi, it's up to you.

Already."

Ah Qi nodded, "I understand."

Then, Ah Qi deliberately exposed a corner of his clothes among the trees.

"Who? Who is there?" The scouts and sharpshooters of the treasure-stealing group easily discovered Ah Qi's traces, but Ah Qi stumbled away in the bushes like a disturbed rabbit.

"Looks like an adventurer. Wait, isn't he the rich man who discovered the ruins?"

"Oh, I remember him, the young shopkeeper of Liuyun Tailor Shop. If you catch him, I will give him a good blow!"

"Chase!"

The thieves from the treasure-stealing group followed behind Ah Qi.

However, they were soon teased. Ah Qi and An Jin prepared many traps in advance, so that three members of the treasure stealing group's miscellaneous fish team soon lost the ability to continue fighting.

The emergence of this situation made the members of the treasure stealing group even more determined about one thing - Ah Qi must have something.

"You go, go back and call the boss and the others! I will continue to chase."

The pharmacist said to the others, and then the quick-footed handyman nodded and ran back, and then he continued to follow Ah Qi from a distance.

This time, he was very cautious, hoping not to fall into any trap while following Ah Qi, so he avoided many traps along the way.

Ah Qi's physical strength gradually became unbearable, and her speed also slowed down.

The pharmacist tossed his fiery red medicine bottle up and down and said, "Hey, kid, you can run pretty well, why don't you continue."

Ah Qi said intermittently: "I'm tired, I'm tired."

At the same time, he kept sending secret signals to the surroundings, indicating that it was time to take action. As a result, there was no movement from An Jin's side.

"Oops, what's going on? Is there something going on over there, brother?"

Ah Qi was sweating anxiously.
