Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

[Today, I still have no clue about the treasure map. 】

[I have some ideas, but I need money, manpower and material resources to find them. 】

[The more I research, the more I feel that there are huge treasures and secrets hidden in this treasure map. This secret is not only about money, but also about power. 】

[Damn... For the first time, I regretted growing the team to more than [-] people, which made it too troublesome to silence, and disbanding for no reason would even arouse suspicion. Forget it, just bear with it. 】

[In the past few days, go find a monster with extraordinary power or someone to touch porcelain, and reduce the number of people. I can't maintain so many people. I only need a few cronies. 】

[A few people died today, but no one seems to have noticed. Also, as long as the money is paid enough, there is something that cannot be forgotten... Heh. 】

【Power, power... The temptation of extraordinary ability is not something ordinary people can resist. I need to be careful. Even my cronies need to keep it secret. They just need to know that they have money. 】

......

The three of them read the diary and looked at each other.

This is not so much a diary, but rather a notebook, or a casual record, without even a time.

However, the meaning and the story were indeed understood by the three people.

The leader found this treasure map from his old house, as well as some related legends, etc., but he didn't even understand the treasure map because he didn't have enough knowledge.

Perhaps before discovering this treasure map, he was already a member or leader of a treasure robbery group, but this treasure map accelerated his determination to search for money and manpower.

He wanted to understand the treasure map, and he did, but he was dazzled, and began to have some big dreams about the supreme power being obtained by him.

However, this treasure map is indeed interesting, because ordinary people really cannot have any thoughts when looking at it, and only those who have some knowledge of occultism can grasp the laws of it. Not without reason.

Shen Ming, Ying and the others didn't care about the reason, they were only interested in the treasures on this map.

Ying is curious about treasures and the unknown, while Shen Ming is curious about why the location of the treasure almost coincides with the location of the wandering soul he calculated.

Paramount...Paimon simply loves money.

In this way, with different driving forces, the three people made the same decision-to find the treasure.

"Treasure, treasure, go find treasure..." Little Paimon flew up and down, looking very happy.

"By the way, take all the materials and documents collected by these leaders with you. After studying for so long, there will always be something useful." Shen Ming said.

Both Ying and Paimon nodded, went back and grabbed a bag, and put books, notebooks, and notes in it.

Ying even put the heirloom card in by the way.

"Will this thing really work?" Paimon complained.

"What if it is used?" Ying retorted, then put the backpack on her back, tidied it up, and stomped her feet.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Wait!" Paimon suddenly stopped loudly.

"What's wrong?" Ying/Shen Ming.

"That...you see, we have been searching for a long time, how tired we are." Paimon scratched his head embarrassedly, "Why don't we go after a meal."

"...Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Someday I'll be hungry and eat you!" Ying put the packed backpack back on the ground helplessly.

"How many times have I said that Paimon is not for food!" Paimon stared.

"Pimon, the best emergency food... okay, you're going to eat, why don't you start a fire?" Shen Ming said, and then he also started to sort out the remaining items.

"When did you reach a united front?" Paimon asked strangely.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Facts have proved that Pimeng is really not bragging, and Ying's craftsmanship is indeed very good.

Her strength is not in raising the limit of taste buds, but in being able to cook a delicious meal with very ordinary ingredients, which is very similar to Xiangling.

"After Liyue, I must introduce Xiangling to you. The two of you must have a lot in common in cooking." Shen Ming gave a thumbs up while eating the food.

"Xiangling? Is it the one from Wanmintang?" Ying suddenly remembered.

"You know me." Shen Ming.

"When I was in Mond, I met Xiangling by chance. She went to Mond to find ingredients, and we cooked a very good meal together." Ying said, recalling.

It may be that Xiangling's drooling at the wild boar was too funny, Ying pursed her mouth, and the corners of her mouth were curved.

"If you're talking about Xiangling from Wanmintang, no need to introduce, we know each other, and when we get to Liyue, we're going to go and get together." Paimon also said.

When Ying said this, Shen Ming also remembered. Speaking of which, there is indeed such a chapter in the plot mission, but Shen Ming was not very impressed at the time, so he didn't think of it all at once.

"However, having said that, who still remembers the purpose of our coming here?" Paimon suddenly said with some confusion.

"Purpose?" Ying looked at Paimon strangely.

"We came here because we wanted to find treasures in the ruins." Paimon said loudly, "It was only because we were robbed by the treasure robbers suddenly that we have this treasure map."

"I was thinking, since this is the case, should we go to the ruins?"

"Let's go there." Shen Ming said, "Go there and check for any missing wandering spirits."

Only then did Ying and Paimon remember that there was also the task of searching for wandering spirits, which they forgot again.

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately lowered their heads and gnawed the fruit with guilt.

......

After the meal, the three of them continued to march north at a moderate pace, but this time they shifted slightly to the east.

The three of them didn't need to go deep into the ruins this time, as long as they were within a few hundred meters of the ruins, it was enough to complete the survey of the ruins.

Although Paimon was still obsessed with whether there was any treasure in the ruins, Paimon gave up the idea of ​​persuading the two of them to go deeper when he already had a treasure map in his hand.

I guess it's not too much to persuade...

Under the common perception of Shen Ming and Ying, all the abnormal creatures in the ruins were invisible, including the treasure robbers wandering from time to time, and the Qiuqiu people hiding in the corners.

After searching for about an hour, I didn't find any wandering spirits, which further confirmed the fact that ghosts are rare.

"Wow, that, is that buried treasure?" Paimon suddenly pointed at the body of a relic guard.

"I won't go even if there is one, let's concentrate on it." Ying is still very responsible and serious about the task Shen Ming entrusted to her, since she has said that she wants to find the wandering soul together, she must show the attitude she should have.

Shen Ming closed his eyes, and used the "radar" with a coverage radius of 200 meters to search carefully, eliminating one area after another.

Let's exclude them horizontally first, because sooner or later they will go to the north, and the south has already been searched. As long as there are no wandering souls in the east and west directions, then Shen Ming and others can leave this area.

"No, let's go." Shen Ming opened his eyes.

"There is no such thing as a wandering spirit in the ruins." Ying also said, and then muttered, "There are quite a few Qiuqiu people."

"You say, if we just guard these Qiuqiu people, will we be able to discover the organization behind the Qiuqiu people?" Shen Ming looked at the Qiuqiu people not far away, and said while rubbing his chin.

"Organization?" Paimon and Ying were taken aback.

"You all know that the Qiuqiu people are not very intelligent, they can barely use the crossbow." Shen Ming threw a stone on the head of the Qiuqiu who was using the crossbow.

"Yaaaaaa!!!"

Qiuqiu looked over in an instant, picked up the crossbow bolt awkwardly and put it on, and staggered to the bow with his feet.

Snapped!

Also failed once.

Qiu Qiuren didn't seem to notice that Shen Ming took another stone, and was still working hard to wind it.

call--

Shen Ming threw another stone over, and it precisely hit Qiuqiu on the head. The strength of this stone caused Qiuqiu to stagger, and he tried so hard to wind up the string and failed again.

"Look, with this level of intelligence, it takes a lot of effort to use a crossbow, let alone make a crossbow. Where did they get the crossbow? And the source of the crossbow is also a doubt."

"Wryyyyyyy!!!"

The other Qiuqiu people not far away were finally awakened by the disturbance, and discovered the existence of Shen Ming and others. The fiery red Qiuqiu people rushed over with torches.

"I can understand these few. For example, it is not inexplicable to say that Qiuqiu people are born with high affinity for elements." Shen Ming said, manipulating several hands made of rock pillars, a handful of fiery red Qiuqiu people's hands. Feet, whether with torches or without, were all thrown into the stream beside them.

Shen Ming and Ying just watched the fiery red Qiuqiu get up repeatedly in the water, and then tried hard to start a fire.

A few empty-handed Qiuqiu people kept digging in the water, as if they wanted to dig the fire slime out, but they couldn't dig it down no matter how hard they dug, scratching their heads in doubt.

"Shields are made by rubbing slimes. Axes can also be said to be simple in workmanship. Shamans and totems can also be said to be compatible with elemental forces." Shen Ming said.

"But the crossbow machine really doesn't look like something that Qiuqiu people can make." Ying also thought about it, frowning, "Could it be the Abyss Cult?"

Shen Ming didn't speak, but frowned.

Ying thought for a while, as if it wasn't a secret that couldn't be said, she talked about the relationship between the Abyss Cult and the Qiuqiu people.

She and Paimon had seen the scene where the abyss mage commanded the Qiuqiu people in Mond many times, and coupled with some contact with the abyss mage, she believed that the two had a deep connection.

"Perhaps the Abyssal Sect is providing these Qiuqiu people with weapons and equipment? After all, if you want the Qiuqiu people to have combat effectiveness, you can't do without arming them." Ying continued to think.

Shen Ming listened to Ying's deduction, but neither denied nor agreed.

Maybe there really is the shadow of the Abyssal Cult, but he always feels that it is more than that. Things like crossbows look like a product of an organized and industrial-based force.

The pure Abyss sect may not have such a high organizational strength, and the Qiuqiu people's crossbows can not only shoot ordinary crossbow bolts, but also elemental crossbow bolts. This way of combining machinery and elements is simply too similar to Kanria.

Shen Ming even believed that some survivors of Kanria and the Abyss Cult were plotting against the Qiuqiu people in the rear. The two parties may not cooperate because the core interests may not be the same.

But both parties want to use the Qiuqiu people to achieve their own demands. At present, the three have formed a secret balance.

"Ah, don't think about it anymore, it's so troublesome." Paimon shook his head, looking like he was overthinking, circling around Shen Ming and Ying.

"Let's go, find the treasure, find the treasure..."

"What's bothering you, did you use your head?" Shen Ming complained, and then thought for a while, "But you're right, let's go."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There is a saying that when you have a goal and act, time will pass quickly. Within a few days, Shen Ming, Ying and Paimeng arrived near the north of Guiliyuan.

"By the way, Shen Ming, what kind of spell did you use a few days ago, it can increase Ying's power so much." Pai Mengfei said curiously.

"That, that's the Five Elements Taoism, Qimen Dunjia." Shen Ming said as he walked.

"Qimen...what?" Paimon couldn't figure it out.

"Qimen Dunjia, Bingbing, Ding, Wuji, Gengxu, Rengui, Yibingding are the three wonders, and Wuji, Gengxu, Rengui are the Liuyi. These are the three wonders and Liuyi of Qimen Dunjia."

"Three Oddities and Six Forms, these nine numbers form the Nine Palaces, and Jia hides in it, where Jia hides, there are several rounds of this Qimen game, and the characteristic of this hidden armor is also called Dunjia, the name Qimen Dunjia That's how it came about."

"Huh? That's it, umm, so amazing..." Paimon was dizzy, trying to keep up with the rhythm.

Shen Ming looked at Paimeng and Ying who also didn't understand, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Think of Qimen Dunjia as a buff formation. Divide the surrounding area into nine palaces. Except for the middle palace, the other eight palaces have their own buffs and weakenings."

"At that time, the reason why you felt stronger was because I stood at the position of Kun, which belongs to earth, so we all gained strength."

"Wow, I understand when you say that." Paimon, who wanted to understand everything, finally understood this time, shaking his head happily.

"What about the other elements?" Ying tried to infer other things from one instance.

"Other elements are also acceptable." Shen Ming nodded.

"For example, wind?" Ying gave an example.

"Wind." Shen Ming touched his chin, "Well...Although it is not counted among the five elements, the wind itself belongs to the Sun Palace, and Sunda belongs to the wood, and it is in the southeast."

"So, if you want to increase the wind, either I leave the middle palace and go to the southeast, or you go to the southeast."

"Why are there two ways?" Paimon couldn't figure it out again.

"There is a difference. If I go to the southeast, the entire formation will become a wind bonus, but if only Ying goes to the southeast, only Ying herself will get the wind bonus."

"Oh, I understand this time. That means, as long as Ying releases the wind element in the southeast, she will get the same bonus as at that time." Paimon said.

"You're right." Shen Ming nodded, and at the same time reminded him a little bit, "Actually, soil is the best way to deal with it, because there are two bonuses to soil, both Kun and Gen are fine."

"It's located in the northeast and southwest respectively. If you want to get an increase, remember to look at my position, take me as the center, and walk to my northeast and southwest directions."

"Under normal circumstances, in order not to make mistakes in the increase, I always sit in the middle palace, unless I think I can fight casually, or when I have to leave, otherwise, you can see that my position is correct."

Ying and Paimeng had already planned their future cooperation in their minds, and it seemed that when they took risks in the future, if Shen Ming had time, they were ready to call him.

In fact, most of the time, it was Shen Ming who took the initiative to leave the middle palace and give bonuses to other people according to the situation. The main reason was quite helpless.
