"What do you think about this matter?" Ye Luo looked around at everyone and finally set his sights on Chongyun.

"Chongyun, you should have the most say, after all, this is your major."

Chongyun held up the stacks of talisman paper and said, "I have tried my best. Now every household in Liyue Harbor should have the talismans I have distributed, but I have not been able to see the evil spirits with my own eyes yet."

Xingqiu gave a reasonable explanation: "You have a pure Yang body. Evil spirits will stay away from you when they see you, so you naturally can't see them."

Hu Tao and Xiang Ling also nodded in sudden realization, seeming to agree with Xingqiu's statement.

Chongyun scratched his head helplessly: "Is that so? If so, it will cause a lot of trouble for what we are going to do next."

Ye Luo couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do next?"

Hu Tao and Xiang Ling immediately grabbed Ye Luo's arms and pulled him up from the chair.

"Of course we should work together to investigate the truth behind this incident and catch the evil spirit. We, the "Liyue Five", will fight side by side again!"

"Liyue's Five Little Warriors?" Ye Luo raised his eyebrows in astonishment: "When was this title created?"

Walnut stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "That's what I was thinking just now."

Tian Tiezui tried to stop them: "You guys are planning to form a team to investigate this matter? That's not appropriate. After all, you are still a group of children. I think it's better to let Qianyan Army investigate this matter!"

Hu Tao smiled and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​we have experienced more terrible things than this. I am the head of the "Wangsheng Hall". What does a mere little ghost mean to me?"

Tian Tiezui then remembered that they were not ordinary children at all, but a group of chivalrous people with divine eyes who often went on adventures.

Especially Ye Luo, he has only been in Liyue Harbor for a few months. Although he does not have the Eye of God, the cases he has handled are already piling up.

Thinking of this, Tian Tiezui laughed out loud: "I forgot that you are not ordinary children, so I won't say much."

"Please everyone, no matter what you do, please be careful."

After the five people hurriedly said goodbye to Tian Tiezui, they arrived outside of "Liyue Harbor"...

Ye Luo said: "I was brought out by you for no apparent reason, so what are your plans now?"

Chongyun thought for a moment and said, "The closest thing to here must be the stone lions in the river. Let's go over and take a look."

Xingqiu agreed, "Since we're here, why shouldn't we take a look?"

Walnut nodded: "Then let's go to the river. I want to see if the stone lion can really walk by itself."

Ye Luo calmed down and thought about this matter carefully. He always felt that he had seen a similar situation somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.

There was no choice but Ye Luo could only follow the footsteps of the four people and come to the riverside.

When they saw the stone lion, the other four people all looked surprised.

Xiangling asked, "What a huge stone lion. It looks very heavy. How did it get here? Could it be a demon?"

Chongyun hurriedly pasted the talisman on the stone lion's head again: "No matter what, stick it on first!"

Ye Luo asked: "Is it definitely the work of an evil spirit? It's impossible that someone secretly moved it here?"

The four of them shook their heads in denial: "We have already thought of this possibility, but this stone lion is so big that it cannot be moved without several people. And if there are really so many people, they certainly won't be so quiet. Someone will know something about it."

Ye Luo walked to the riverside, gently stroked the stone lion, then looked down at the mud in the river. An idea instantly rushed through his mind, like an electric current, making him suddenly recall an article he had learned in middle school.

"I'm afraid this is not caused by evil spirits. The principle is very simple!"

Ye Luo was confident and looked at the four people. The four people looked at him in unison: "What's the principle?"

Chongyun was the most anxious. He seemed to care a lot about whether or not an evil spirit was behind this matter.

Ye Luo coughed lightly: "Let me tell you a little story."

"It is said that there was a mountain a long time ago, and in the mountain there was a temple! In the temple there were two stone lions, and then, bang! They fell into the river along with the dilapidated temple door!"

"Because there was no money to repair it, the stone lion sank into the river along with the temple gate. No one cared about it until more than ten years later, when the monks collected donations to find the stone lion. However, they searched all the way downstream but could not find it."

Ye Luo kept everyone in suspense: "Guess where this stone lion went?"

Walnut guessed, "Buried in the mud?"

Ye Luo shook his head.

Xiangling also speculated: "Did someone secretly hide the stone lions for more than ten years?"

Ye Luo still shook his head.

Xingqiu speculated: "After more than ten years, could it be that the stone lions have rusted and worn away, and disappeared with the wind?"

Ye Luo still spread his hands and shook his head.

Chongyun said excitedly: "Evil spirits! It must be the evil spirits that are interfering!"

Ye Luo hurriedly said: "Chongyun, calm down, this is just a story."

Now, none of the four could guess what was going on, so Ye Luo continued to speak.

"Later, a scholar arrived and brought answers to the monks' questions."

“Any stone that falls into a river should be searched for upstream. Because the nature of stone is hard and heavy, while the nature of sand is soft and light, the water flow cannot wash away the stone, but the force of the water flow will definitely erode the sand under the stone where it faces the water, forming a pit. The pit will become deeper and deeper, and the stone will fall into it.”

"That's how it was. The stone lion kept turning under the constant scouring of the river, and it went upstream. The monks went upstream to look for the stone lion according to the scholars' advice, and they found it there. This is the story of "The Stone Beast in the River."

Ye Luo pointed at the stone lion next to him and shrugged: "How is it? Is what happened here exactly the same as in the story?"

The four of them suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. So the reason why the stone lions from the downstream appear in the upstream is a completely normal natural phenomenon. It's not the work of evil spirits at all."

Chongyun sighed: "It seems that I am making a fuss again. I really shouldn't have done that without understanding the situation clearly."

Ye Luo comforted him, "You are kind-hearted. Although this matter has been explained clearly, there are still so many supernatural events that we need to investigate together."
