Chapter 151, Salt God Relics
Hu Tao's words aroused the curiosity of several people, and they all came to the cave entrance.
Suddenly, an underground relic came into view.
The ruins are in great disrepair and overgrown with weeds. The only source of light in the entire ruins comes from a large hole at the top.
At the entrance of the cave, you can clearly see ripples of flowing water. There is no doubt that this relic is located underwater.
Xing looked around and found a small path.
"Look over there, we're going down that way."
With that, Xing took the lead out of the cave and followed the path down to the main body of the ruins.
The main body of the ruins is an ancient city built entirely of huge stones.
Xing, Hu Tao and the others followed the path to the gate of the ancient city.
Walnut looked at the ancient city, feeling puzzled.
"That doesn't make sense. It's impossible for such a large relic to remain undiscovered for so many years."
March 7th, spread your hands.
"Is it possible that this place is too secluded? Think about how deep we dug to get here."
After hearing what San Yueqi said, Hu Tao thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.
The ruins are buried deep underground, and it is indeed possible that they have not been discovered for so many years.
Xing picked up the pickaxe.
"Never mind, let's go in and take a look."
After saying that, Xing strode towards the gate of the ancient city with a pickaxe in his hand and pushed the gate open.
It was unknown how long this wooden door had been there. Xing pushed it lightly and the entire door collapsed.
The scene before him made Xing feel horrified, and he stood there in a daze.
When Hu Tao and the others came closer and took a look, they were speechless.
Just see.
Countless salt men made of salt stand on the streets, and all of them have the same characteristics.
Terrified, want to escape from the ancient city.
March 7 looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but think of a horrible idea.
"Weren't these people all living people before?"
Paimon was immediately startled.
"Hey! Sanyue! Can you please stop saying such scary things?"
Ying looked at these salt sculptures carefully and found that each one was different. With the level of craftsmen in Teyvat, it was impossible to make them so lifelike.
"I'm afraid what March said is true."
Xing looked along the street and saw that these salt workers were all facing away from an ancient castle, as if they were trying to escape from there.
"That should be the source. Let's go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, everyone carefully walked through the streets and headed towards the ancient castle in the distance.
Along the way, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the light became dimmer as we went deeper into the ruins.
Finally, Xing and his group arrived at the gate of the castle.
Eula knocked on the door and heard a sound coming from behind.
"Let's look around. There should be a mechanism that can open this door."
Xing took out the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire.
"No need to bother, Skyfire! Unsheathe!"
Xing slashed the stone gate with his sword, cutting it in half.
The stone door collapsed, and a secret room appeared in front of everyone.
The secret room was filled with fleeing salt people.
A broken sword is enshrined in the center of the secret room.
Sanyueqi took out her camera and took a picture. This was her first time to explore such ancient ruins.
Xing walked forward, took it down and took a look. The sword was covered in rust and looked very old.
"Walnut, do you think this is worth the money?"
Walnut took it and took a look.
"It's just an ordinary sword, but you can take it to a jewelry store and maybe sell it as an antique."
Upon hearing this, Xing put the iron sword into his storage ring, intending to take it back to Liyue Harbor and sell it.
After putting away the iron sword, Xing looked around and found that there were three passages in total. He thought for a moment.
"Let's search separately. Signal if we encounter any danger."
Hu Tao, Ying and others agreed after hearing this.
Afterwards, they split into three groups and headed towards different passages.
Xier headed towards the passage on the right.
Suddenly, a strange cry came from the front. Xier looked closely and saw several hill people sitting around a campfire, singing and dancing.
Xier took out the sickle and approached quietly.
"Let it vanish with the wind! The old days are gone!"
Xier swung her knife and killed several hillbillies instantly.
After getting rid of a few Hilichurls, Xier finally had time to observe the secret room in front of her.
There are two altars in this secret room, one enshrining a ruler and the other a bronze tripod.
Xier took the two things down and saw that there was only half of salt left in the bronze tripod.
"What the hell is this? Forget it, I'll put it away and go back to ask someone."
Xier put the ruler and bronze tripod into the storage ring, and then continued exploring.
About three hours later.
The three groups met in a very large secret room.
In the middle of this secret room, there is a small pile of salt.
San Yueqi took a camera and captured this scene.
Xing was a little depressed.
"I thought there would be some raw stones here, but I didn't expect there to be nothing but a pile of scrap metal. Sigh~"
Walnut checked the time.
"Let's go, we should go back. It will be almost dark by the time we reach Liyue Harbor."
Everyone then returned the same way, walked out of the mine they had dug, got on the RV parked on the road and headed towards Liyue Harbor.
And at this time on the treasure ship.
Ningguang was having people prepare everything needed for tonight's banquet.
"Take these foods to the kitchen and clean them up as soon as possible. Xiangling will be here to cook soon.
And these flowers, who are they from? I paid such a high price, and they gave me such defective products? Bai Wen, take people for a walk, some people are not suitable for business.
And these fireworks, take good care of them and don't let them touch water, understand?"
Ningguang asked about every detail of the affairs on the treasure ship, just to make sure nothing went wrong tonight.
This year's Sea Lantern Festival is different from previous years. Many important guests have come tonight.
Ningguang arranged things one by one, and the staff on the straw boat were running around busily.
Ningguang stood by the boat's railing, looking at the setting sun which had already sunk halfway below the sea, and she let out a long sigh.
The banquet on the treasure ship has been almost arranged, and the next step is to wait for the guests to board the ship.
Not long.
Ye Yun, Walter, Zhongli, Jingyuan, Huaiyan, Jiaoqiu and other elderly people were the first to arrive on the treasure ship.
Ningguang saw this and hurried forward to greet him.
"Everyone is welcome to the Lantern Festival banquet. Please come in."
Under Ningguang's leadership, Ye Yun and his companions went upstairs to a tea room to drink tea.
Several people expressed their gratitude for this.
As soon as Ningguang finished receiving Ye Yun and his companions, Topa and Feicui boarded the treasure ship with their gifts.
"Ningguang! We are here!" Topa waved and greeted Ningguang.
Ningguang saw that it was Topa and Feicui and went to meet them.
"Topa, Jade, how was your day?"
Jade smiled slightly.
“I had a great time visiting today. It’s my first time visiting such a historical city.
