Chapter 341: Business Starts Again
After taking on the heavy responsibility of providing for Zhongli, Jiang Bai changed his laziness in the past, and distributed leaflets to expand customers.
Although the business of [Ye Luo Returns to the Roots] makes little money, this is his main business, and as a soul crosser of the Afterlife Hall, his main business cannot be lost.
Since the release of Once Upon a Time in Snowpiercer, the sales and popularity of their business have increased dramatically, and so far, 34 adventurers have bought themselves a post-mortem insurance.
Although this number may seem small, there are very few adventurers who have money and need to do things after their deaths, and it is very good to have so many people.
And many of them ordered the business not to collect the corpses, but to let Jiang Bai help them bring some important things back.
This even made Jiang Bai rise to the idea of changing the name of the business many times.
But in the end, they gave up, the fame of their business had already risen, and if they changed their name, the fame they had established before would fly, and the gains outweighed the losses.
On this day, when Jiang Bai checked the pointer daily to see if anyone had passed away, he finally found that the name on one of the hands had turned black.
Jiang Bai was very emotional about finally going out of business.
Although the expedition is very dangerous, the mortality rate of the adventurer who bought their business is really low, and so far, he has only made a handful of sorties.
This made him kind of want to add a slogan on the flyer that said "Order business, death is far away from you", but he thought about it and forgot it, it was easy to be beaten.
He pulled out the blackened pointer and followed the name on it to find a copy and contract.
The adventurer who ordered this business was a native of Liyue named Wan Jiliang.
Jiang Bai had an impression of this person, a man who was almost fifty years old and looked very Sven, more like a scholar than an adventurer.
But this Wan Jiliang is indeed an adventurer.
This adventurer has a wealth of experience in exploring and visiting Liyue's ancient lands, whether it's Qingxupu, Lingju Pass, or the Chasm, all of which have been seen in the ancient ruins of Liyue's past.
In order to better sell the treasures found in the ruins, he deliberately learned a lot about antiquities and history, and was more professional than ordinary experts in identifying antiquities and understanding history.
Jiang Bai opened the last wish written on the contract, Wan Jiliang's last wish was a bit similar to Custer, and he also read Katis's story before deciding on their business.
Although Wan Jiliang is an adventurer, he is also quite knowledgeable about the history of the land of Liyue due to his love of antiquities and history.
But he found that in some places, there seemed to be a large blank in history.
There was a place that had flourished and flourished, but suddenly it had declined, and its inhabitants were scattered all over the place, and the once prosperous city was in ruins.
Even the immortals and former residents are so silent about the story that no one knows the reason for it five hundred years later, and it has become a blank in history.
In order to fill in these missing places and find out why, he went deep into the ancient ruins again and again to find useful information, and at the same time wrote books about these missing histories.
He wanted to rediscover and record the blank history of Liyue.
His last wish was to bring back the records he could not bring back and publish them with the unfinished book he had kept at home.
Although this book is a history book, it only covers a very small part of Liyue's history, and it is not even complete.
But at least, it fills in the gap.
After reading it, Jiang Bai couldn't help but be in awe.
Whether it is Custer or Wan Jiliang, they are all the same people, persistent for their ideals, and willing to do it knowing the danger.
He exhaled lightly, carefully put the contract away, and after reporting to Hu Tao, he packed his things and prepared to go and collect the bones for the other party, and at the same time retrieve the relics.
Insert the pointer into the quadripartite prayer instrument, and the pointer quickly points to the northwest.
Jiang Bai opened the map to see what was in the northwest direction.
Tianheng Mountain, Dunyuling, Tianyu Valley, Nantianmen... All in this direction.
Jiang Bai wasn't sure where Wan Jiliang was, so he could only try one anchor point at a time.
Jiang Bai first came to the statue of the Seven Heavens God in the middle of the Yuling Tomb and the Lingju Pass, and when he arrived here, the pointer suddenly turned around, pointing to the Yuling in the northeast.
The Jade Tomb is a valley, and for a longer time, it was not called the Jade Tomb, but the Jade Valley.
People relied on the terrain to build fortified cities and fortresses and live in them.
Five hundred years ago, it was as prosperous as Liyue Harbor, but then it was closed for a short time, and its inhabitants fled.
As a result, the enclosed fortress was transformed into a huge, hollow mausoleum, in which the water and the sound of the wind lived for a long time, and the people of Liyue called it the Jade Tomb.
Jiang Bai was not a native of Liyue, and his knowledge of Liyue was very limited, and even his knowledge of the Hidden Jade Tomb was learned by asking Hu Tao when he passed through this place.
But why the Jade Tomb has the name of "Jade Escape", Hu Tao can't say why.
Today, the ancient fortress has been reduced to ruins, and most of the water has submerged, and it is no longer possible to see the prosperity it once had.
Jiang Bai didn't rush in, but walked around the valley outside, and found that no matter which direction he was in, the Quartet Sutra in his hand pointed to the Yuling Tomb, and he had a number in his heart.
Obviously, Wan Jiliang entered the Jade Tomb in order to find the past of the Jade Tomb, and finally died in the Jade Tomb.
There is no doubt that this is a dangerous place, and even the Treasure Hoarders would not choose to come here.
Five hundred years ago, there must have been a reason for the sudden closure of this place, and the only reason to close a city and dismiss the people who lived in it was to make it uninhabitable.
After all, not everyone wants to leave their homeland unless they have to.
Now, five hundred years later, the secrets of this place have not been known to outsiders, which is enough to prove that the danger here is not ordinary.
Even if Jiang Bai was confident in his own strength, he didn't dare to hold it up for such a place.
It's just that, although I didn't see the Treasure Hoarders who liked to throw them at the ruins, I did see a lot of Fatui soldiers here.
For this discovery, Jiang Bai frowned.
It stands to reason that most of the Fatui in Liyue have been purged after the Othello Incident, but why are there so many here?
Is it because it's off the beaten track and stationed here, or is there something to explore here?
Looking at the Fatui soldiers scattered all over the Jade Tomb, Jiang Bai leaned towards the latter.
There must be some secret in this Jade Tomb, and this secret is very big!
Thinking about it, Jiang Bai used the Qianli microphone to send a message to Hu Tao.
"Hall Master, help me check the information of the Jade Tomb, the more complete the better!"
