Hutao raised her eyebrows after receiving Jiang Bai's message. She wanted to ask him why he was looking for information, but due to the number of times the Qianli microphone was used, she held back.
If she was looking for information about Dun Yuling, she would definitely not be able to find it at the Rebirth Hall. She went straight out and turned right to find a living history expert.
"Old man, how much do you know about the history of Dun Yuling?"
Zhongli was carefully trimming the flowers and plants in the yard, and he raised his head when he heard this.
"Dun Yuling? Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Hutao squatted on the rockery, not worried about crushing the stone under his feet.
"Didn't Jiang Bai go out to collect the body? The client is in Dun Yuling. There must be something unusual about Dun Yuling. Jiang Bai came to ask me specifically. I don't know much about Dun Yuling. I can only ask you."
"That's it." Zhongli suddenly realized.
Zhongli continued to trim flowers and plants while saying, "When it comes to Dun Yuling, we have to mention the meaning of the word [Dun Jade]..."
Hutao pricked up his ears, ready to receive knowledge.
"The word [Dun Yu] literally means [the place where beautiful jade escapes]. The history of Dun Yuling also begins with the origin of this name."
"It is said that when Emperor Yanwang was still young, a sky star once fell in the wasteland west of Liyue. As the star fell to the ground, the huge wasteland facing the impact turned into a huge and deep abyss, from which beautiful jade, gold and stone grew. Inexhaustible, thus creating Liyue’s mining industry for thousands of years..."
The wasteland west of Liyue?
Hutao checked the map of Liyue and found out that the place in question should be the Rock Abyss.
The Strata Abyss is the largest mineral mining area in Liyue. The minerals in it are inaccessible. Although they have been mined and excavated for thousands of years, most of them are mined within the abyss. There are no mountains outside the abyss. What a change.
The huge spiral rock surrounding the center of the abyss is still a wonder that is praised by people.
She had always been curious about how the mountains were formed, but she didn't expect that they were created by stars falling from the sky.
Compared to the Hantian Nail on the snow mountain that only destroyed the palace on the top of the mountain, the [Sky Star] that fell from the sky was too hard, and it went straight into the depths of the ground.
It also opened huge roads for the miners to lead underground.
"It is said that when the nameless star fell, a piece of debris splashed out and landed among the rocks in the northern part of Lisha suburb. The sinkhole created formed the current terrain of Dunyuling."
"Oooh!"
Hu Tao opened her mouth in surprise. Just a fragment of the star could smash out the huge Yuling Tomb. How powerful would the falling star be?
Regarding Hu Tao's exclamation, Zhongli did not explain anything, but continued:
"The silent gold and stone contains aura and spirit. In the eternity that mortals cannot see and understand, they listen to and watch the pulse of the earth's veins, the echo of the mountain spring, and the slow but steady patrol of the rocks with their own rhythm.
"But meteorites falling from the sky are different. Compared with the simple and firm rocks on the earth, they have a proud and impetuous temperament.
"Later, countless demons and kings on the earth fought for the destined throne. The starry sky and the abyss were eclipsed. Tragedy and evil deeds blocked the breath of the rocks and flowing water. The falling stars from the sky were unbearable and fell towards them. Gao Tian fled away..."
Hutao briefly translated Zhongli Wenzhou’s words, and summarized them as follows:
The fragments of the star that fell from the sky smashed out the Valley of Escape Jade, but during the Demon God War, the fragments of the star returned to the sky, so that place was given the name "Escape Jade".
Zhongli's narration continued, accompanied by the sound of scissors scraping branches, which was particularly rhythmic.
"After the beautiful jade that fell from the sky returned to the starry sky, it left behind a deep sinkhole. People built strong cities and fortresses in it, and settled in seclusion amidst the legacy of the meteorite.
"Amidst thousands of years of wind, frost and turmoil, the fortified city of the Jade Valley stood tall and tall, and until five hundred years ago it was still in contact with the prosperous Liyue Port..."
Hu Tao spoke, taking over Zhongli's last words.
"I know what happened next. The Dunyu Valley was suddenly closed, and the residents there also left their hometowns and scattered around. The Dunyu Valley became today's Dunyu Mausoleum..."
"Yes." Zhongli nodded, "Five hundred years ago, the dark disaster swept across all places, and the Valley of Jade was no exception. Since then, the Valley of Jade has been closed..."
"Isn't Jiang Bai's trip dangerous?"
Walnut became worried.
The dark disaster five hundred years ago forced the people there to abandon their hometown and close down. Even though five hundred years have passed, this does not mean that the disaster has disappeared. It is said that it would not have happened five hundred years ago. The disaster still exists, but it is not known.
"Don't worry, with his strength, nothing can trap him. Even if the dark disaster still remains, it can't hurt him..."
Listening to Zhongli's comfort, Hutao breathed out lightly.
"That's right. He is already stronger than me. If there is something that he can't handle, I won't be able to play any role in the past. Instead, I will become a burden..."
Hu Tao looked a little down, but quickly cheered up.
"This hall master can't be lazy any longer. Tell him the news. This hall master will also practice martial arts!"
It's a good thing that the younger brother has strength, but as the leader of the hall, she can't be surpassed by the younger brother!
A slight smile appeared on Zhongli's lips, and he took out an old book, "I have a mental method here. Hall Master, please take it and practice it."
Hu Taomaxie took the book, hugged Zhongli's hand and rubbed it, "Master, you are so kind!"
"...The history of Dun Yuling is probably like this. You must pay attention to safety. If it's too dangerous, evacuate! I don't want to hold a second funeral for you!"
Hearing Hu Tao's concerned words, the corners of Jiang Bai's mouth rose unconsciously, and his grin reached behind his ears without even realizing it.
If the Qianli microphone could not be used again after three days, Jiang Baibao would have sent her a big call.
But it doesn’t matter. Once he finds the adventurer, he will have plenty of time to brag after he returns.
Now that he knows where the danger here comes from, Jiang Bai also has an idea.
Looking at the Fool soldiers scattered everywhere in Dunyuling, Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and had some ideas.
Since these fools are stationed here, and this place has such a past... these fools may know something and are studying it.
Capturing a fool and soldiers and getting some information from them might make things a lot easier.
Just as he said, Jiang Bai quietly knocked out a lone Fire Gun soldier and carried him to the mountains outside Dunyu.
