In the blink of an eye, 500 years have passed quietly.

The legendary Filthy Dragon, who spread its wings and crossed Liyue in an instant, has been sleeping in this cavern for 500 years.

Perhaps because of the dragon's sleep, Liyue has greatly reduced the danger of all the filth caused by the Demon God War, and Liyue has also accelerated her research on filth in various places during this time.

At the beginning, the Emperor of the Rock King joined hands with the immortals to turn the current Caiqiao Valley into a forbidden place, reclaimed the cave, and set up a stone monument of the forbidden place, which was forbidden to enter without permission.

A hundred years later, some of Liyue's higher-ups who learned of this history also carved rocks around the cave where the dragon was located to rebuild the ecology.

Make it better to be hidden, so that the filthy dragon will not be disturbed to the dream.

But this can only depend on people's self-consciousness, and there will always be some bold people who dare to ignore the stone monument standing outside and quietly break into it.

。

In the midst of a babbling stream, two wool thieves dressed in simple cloth patronized this green place.

"Hey, you dead fatty, hurry up, move quickly, come up and look at this, I dare to guarantee with my 3-year career in the Treasure Hoarders, these 5 things are definitely big treasures." A shrill voice echoed through the empty cavern.

"Hmph, tired to death, dead rat, if I work so hard to climb up, if there is no treasure to see how I will clean you up." The fat man who was working hard to climb at the bottom said angrily.

In his opinion, this cave was no different from other places, except for the surprisingly large wind, which was extremely cold and gloomy.

What kind of treasure can there be in such a place?

Besides, with their hellish luck, there are good babies that they can meet? Wasn't it already packed up and left by the merchants of Liyue?

"Hey, you believe me, you'll know when you come up and see it, I'll go down first, and the treasure won't wait for someone who doesn't take the opportunity." With that, the thin thief jumped into the cave with a shout.

"Wait for me, you pull me up and jump first." At this time, the fat man understood the boss's usual good intentions in order to let him follow the theft and then be hunted down, if he had followed the boss and the thin man to run errands before, he would have become thinner.

Now I won't be so hard to hang on here, and I can't go up or down.

Just as he was thinking about whether to climb up with all his might or just give up.

"Hey, that guy above, you've entered the forbidden area, come down quickly and get caught!!" A stern voice came from below, sending chills down his spine.

"Oh no, it's Millelith, why did this group of guys come so soon?!" The fat thief was also panicked at the moment, he only had one idea now, climb quickly, and crawl with all his might.

If you go down, you will be imprisoned, and fools know what to choose.

Just as he made up his mind, he grabbed his hands hard.

A stone was grabbed by him.

"Well, nothing good is going to happen to me with my luck."

Poor fat thief.

Straight back, the head down posture fell from above.

If it weren't for the fact that there were enough Millelith troops guarding the town to catch him together, I'm afraid he would have been ready to let his boss buy the business of the Afterlife Hall by now.

The good news is that it was the Millelith Army who caught him and turned him from a permanent home into a temporary home.

The bad news is that the Millelith Army gave him a strongman with a backhand, and directly tortured him back for interrogation.

When the thin man inside was still immersed in the dream of getting rich, he didn't know that there was no one within a radius of 100 meters outside, and the entire mountain stream was only garrisoned by the Millelith Army at the stone monument that was 500 meters away.

Inside the cave

The skinny monkey thief cautiously approached the five stone wedges suspended in the air.

When you look at it from a distance, you don't feel much until you get to the bottom to feel the enormity of the five wedges.

A wedge is at least 5 as long as he is, how can this be moved back.

And I just saw these things glowing golden outside, and I thought they were gold, but when I got closer, it turned out to be 5 broken stones.

No wonder they found out that the Liyue merchants were disdainful of the broken stones.

"It's really a bloody mold, thankless," the thin monkey wiped the cold sweat from his face, I don't know why, as soon as he entered this hole, he felt a little weak.

And I don't know where the wind came from, why it's so wet and cold.

"Hell, this place is so wicked, fatty! We're gone, there's nothing here, it's just broken rocks! The skinny monkey shouted loudly to the fat man outside.

But no one responded.

The unbeliever shouted again.

"Fatty, what about you, hey! No kidding, I was wrong, I was wrong just now, reply to me. The more the thin man shouted, the quieter his voice became, and while retreating, he unconsciously rubbed his hands, his hands were so cold, and he always felt as if there was something weird.

"Tick."

The thin monkey's nose felt wet, and this time he almost jumped up in fright.

I wiped my nose with my fingers, and it was sticky and slippery.

Put your finger in front of your eyes and take a closer look.

"This black bula, slime? How can there be a black one? ”

Suddenly, the thin monkey seemed to realize something, and looked up at the five stone wedges in the sky tremblingly.

"No, it won't."

I saw that the stone wedge that was supposed to be suspended in the sky with golden light was gradually dimming at this moment, and cracks appeared one after another.

The surface of the wedge also climbed with a lot of black material like worms, which continued to erode the stone wedge.

Although countless gravel fell, the stone wedge still stood firm in the air, tenaciously emitting golden light.

Seeing that the stone wedge could hold out for a while for the time being, the thin monkey breathed a sigh of joy.

You have to get out of here now, or it will be too late in a while, if this place collapses, it has nothing to do with him, it really has nothing to do with his yelling.

The skinny monkey kept mentally comforting himself.

When he was about to use his legs to escape the cave as fast as he could.

Suddenly, my feet slipped.

The skinny monkey felt it immediately.

"It's over."

The slippery black slime on the soles of your feet and the gravel that encased them were like a bunch of marbles poured over the tiles.

Unfortunately, there was a half-length filth crystal behind him.

I saw the thin monkey spin in the form of an upside-down golden hook and slammed its head against the filthy crystal.

。。。

The thin monkey who fell to the ground looked at the crystals above his head and exhaled happily.

"It's good that my head isn't so hard, too, how can there be crystals that can be broken so easily, hahahaha."

Just when he was still glad that his mother didn't give him a head that was too iron, leading to a big mistake.

"Click."

The filthy crystals on the top of the head were particularly inopportunely shattered, and a crack broke out.

"What the eldest brother said is right, sure enough, our two brothers are indeed very unlucky."

。

A quarter past noon in Liyue time.

"This master, I want to drink something today." The child in the teahouse remembers this master who comes to drink tea every day, and every time he will record the account to the account of the Afterlife Hall.

I was already proficient in preparing my next words.

"Have a cup of tea, the stronger the better."

"Okay."

"A cup of extra strong black tea!" The shopkeeper shouted loudly to the back kitchen.

"Account, let's put it in the account of the Death Hall."

"Okay, master, but ah, look at you come to our teahouse every day to taste tea, you see, the weather is bad today, and the whole teahouse is still taking care of our business regardless of the wind and rain. Xiao Er said with a smile.

"Well, that's disrespectful."

"It's okay, you're an old customer, you see it's going to rain this day, why don't I ask you for another pot of hot tea, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

"This..." Old man Zhongli was about to refuse, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene outside the window.

Seeing this gray sky with a slight purple breath.

Even if it was the Rock King Emperor, he couldn't help but change his face at this moment.

"Xiao Er, this pot of tea, you warm it for me first, and I'll come back to drink it later." Zhongli brushed his sleeves away.

"But, sir, it's out there... Before Xiao Er finished speaking, the person had already gone downstairs.

"Hey, are people so leisurely nowadays, they like to walk in the rain," Xiao Er teased as he packed up his teacup.

"By the way, when has Liyue had such strange weather, and why is it so wet and cold all of a sudden?" Xiao Er shuddered suddenly, you must know that it is close to noon.
