Leaving the Hall of the Dead, Wang Daoyi walked down the street and suddenly found some noise ahead.

Curiously looked closer, it turned out that it was Beidou with people, carrying a huge rock.

[At this point in time, this stone should be the statue of Guoba. 】

Wang Daoyi glanced at it, and then didn't continue to look at it, this secret, let's wait for Xiangling and them to slowly reveal it.

didn't come forward to say hello, Wang Daoyi left directly.

Back in the dock tearoom, he said hello to Sisi, and then went headlong into the bedroom, and began to study the vast amount of knowledge that Zhongli pointed into his mind.

There was a faint golden glow in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi carefully touched the secret knowledge that was sealed in the depths of his mind by the gesture of the gods.

It was as if a person was pulling away an onion with his hand, unusually gently and slowly uncovering the seal on the secret method, and carefully climbing the divine thoughts into the information.

Under the influence of the seal, this time there was no such vast impact, and part of the information of the Chain Secret Method unfolded in front of Wang Daoyi.

"It's . That's a lot of runes. ”

It was only a very tiny part of the information, and it contained a large number of transcendent runes, and Wang Daoyi's knowledge reserve could only recognize a part of it.

"Repression, solidification, banning."

"Sure enough, this secret method is specially used to seal things." Wang Daoyi nodded secretly, and then denied his thoughts, "No, if it's just to seal things, you don't need such a huge structure, it is very likely that this chain is used by the emperor to seal those opponents of the same level." ”

Thinking about the role of the secret chain, Wang Daoyi became more and more interested.

Immersed in the information in his mind, the huge rune structure of the Chain Secret Method was unveiled in front of Wang Daoyi.

Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Boss, I'm off work, do you want to close the door?"

The girl's voice woke up Wang Daoyi, it was Sisi who got off work.

A little regret flashed in his eyes, just now he was analyzing the runes in the secret method, and just after he had some clues, he was interrupted by Sisi.

But he didn't mean to blame the girl, and it was his own lack of rune knowledge that led to this situation where he wanted to parse it, but couldn't find the entrance.

"Okay, you get off work, I'll have to go out in a while, I don't have to close the door."

Wang Daoyi replied in a loud voice, and then heard the sound of the girl going out.

"This chain secret method is the most complex secret technique I have ever come into contact with, there are too many runes and rune structures in it that I can't understand, I need more rune knowledge, it seems that when Ying goes to Inazuma, I will also go to the Akademiya."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Wang Daoyi thought about the follow-up arrangements.

"Although the Doctor said that the Akademiya has not had any technological breakthroughs since the death of the Great Mercy Tree King, they still inherit the knowledge reserves of the Void and the Great Mercy Tree King, and they will definitely have enough rune knowledge to meet my needs."

With a little worry in his eyes, Wang Daoyi thought of the Akademiya's School of Knowledge, the Mura Po Tan Academy.

"The academy of the Akademiya that reserves rune knowledge, it seems that it is necessary to contact it, who is the sage of the Epistemic School? I think it's called Kawaja."

After thinking about it, he revised his original plan to wait for Ying to go to Sumeru together, and Wang Dao set off for Sumeru as soon as he was ready to leave for Inazuma after Ying.

After perfecting the plan, Wang Dao patted his clothes and got up from the bed, the time is almost up, it's time to go to Wanmin Hall to eat, after all, people are iron and rice are steel.

Leaving the tea room and coming to Wanmin Hall, Xiangling and Ying had already returned and were talking in the store, as if they were talking about today's investigation results.

Seeing Wang Dao coming, Xiangling waved happily.

"Brother Daoyi, we asked a lot of people today, and I, who accepted their opinions, will definitely make a breakthrough in food."

Walked over to Xiangling and sat down.

Wang Daoyi looked at the excited Xiangling with interest: "Oh, what valuable advice have you got?" ”

"Hu Tao said that he wanted to combine movement and static, and Dr. Baizhu said that he liked medicinal food, which was the combination of taste and effect."

Xiangling is very happy to share her harvest with Wang Daoyi, and any suggestions related to cooking can make her happy.

Paimon on the other side also said, "We also asked about the tastes of Ningguang, Beidou, and Keqing, but they all seem to have their own requirements." ”

Paimon originally wanted to talk about the tastes of these three people, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had forgotten the specific content.

"Miss Ningguang likes refinement, simplicity, purity, and fineness." Xiangling answered, "It's the kind of dish that looks very simple, but requires a lot of effort, oh, it's very much in line with her identity." ”

"Sister Beidou has been going to sea for a long time, so she likes as long as she is fresh and hot, especially spicy."

"Keqing.." As soon as Xiangling wanted to speak, Paimon's eyes lit up on the side, "Keqing likes golden shrimp balls!" ”

Wang Daoyi couldn't help laughing, good guy, you didn't remember those just now, just remember that Keqing likes golden shrimp balls.

"Haha, these are all very interesting suggestions, and with everyone's suggestions, you will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in cuisine." Smiling, Wang Daoyi encouraged Xiangling, and then continued to ask, "Then do you want to continue to go out to do the poll tomorrow?" ”

"I'm going, and I'm with Keqing." Xiangling said, and then couldn't help but get up and walk to the kitchen, "You guys continue to talk, I'll try a new dish." ”

After Xiangling left, Ying opened her mouth to explain: "When we were doing the investigation today, Keqing sent us an invitation to accompany her to investigate some things tomorrow. ”

"Oh?" Wang Dao thought for a moment, "Is that the boulder?" ”

"Huh?" Paimon said with a tone of surprise, "Does Michichi know that too?" ”

Wang Dao nodded: "When I came out of the Hall of Death today, I saw Captain Beidou leading people to carry the stone, and you met Beidou and Ningguang Keqing together, then I think it should be the matter of that stone." ”

"Oooh!" Paimon nodded, making a look of sudden realization, "Because he didn't leave with us, that's why he met Beidou carrying a stone." ”

Ying continued on the side: "Beidou said that the stone was salvaged by fishermen from the shallow sea area, and it should have been sunk in the sea for many years, and it was washed away very smooth, because it looked like there was some treasure in it, so."

"Things that can't be privately owned have to be handed over to the public. With us, they can feel more at ease. Paimon said pretendly.

"Ha, this tone is very condensed." Wang Daoyi was amused by Paimon and complimented.

"Hey, hey!" Paimon touched his little head, a little smug.

"That stone is invulnerable, so Keqing wants to investigate, Yu Zhi, there may be some treasures in this stone, Yu Gong, and he also has to give an explanation to the fishermen."

Wang Dao nodded, this kind of more serious idea is indeed Keqing's right.

"Then do you have any clues, after all, the investigation must have clues to investigate."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, Ying immediately replied, "Keqing said that her grandfather was a scholar who studied the traditional culture of Liyue. He wrote in his notes that Ancient Liyue had a 'Stove God' and that it seemed that people would commemorate this god at certain times. ”

Saying that, Ying looked at Wang Daoyi curiously.

"Daoyi, Zhong No, you read a lot, do you know if the Emperor of the Rock King has the title of Stove God?"

"As the ruler of Liyue for 3,700 years, the Emperor does have many titles." Unexpectedly, Ying would suddenly ask himself, Wang Daoyi pondered for a while, and gave an answer, "The Stove God is indeed one of the countless titles of the Emperor, but this title is not the Emperor's from the beginning, and before that, the Stove God had another god." ”

Wang Daoyi's reply made Paimon's eyes light up.

"It's the same as what Keqing said, Keqing also said that the Stove God is not the Lord of the Rock, but another demon god, and she wants to investigate this matter just to find out the truth about the Stove God."

Paimon's tone was a little ostentatious, "Did you know that there is a folk anecdote in Liyue where the ancients were rumored to have found a shrine to the god of the hearth, but there was no statue of the god in it, only a boulder with a smooth surface. The boulder was lost during subsequent transportation and its whereabouts are still unknown, but this stone happens to have the same characteristics. Maybe it's the one that disappeared back then."

"Oh, is there such a rumor, it's really unheard of!" Wang Daoyi cooperated with Paimon in surprise.

Ying frowned and looked at the pompous Wang Daoyi, and there was a sense of déjà vu in her heart, as if she had returned to the time when Wang Daoyi hid her and helped Zhongli complete the plan.

However, Ying didn't immediately ask anything, she felt that Wang Daoyi should know something, but it wouldn't harm them, it was estimated that there was something unspeakable.

What Ying didn't know was that Wang Daoyi did know it, but it was not unspeakable, but he simply wanted Xiangling to discover the identity of Guoba by himself.
