Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"...Initially, it flourished because of agriculture, and people gathered to form markets...A god descended, named 'Gui Zhong,' who was good at raising dust, which covered the sky for thousands of miles..."

This stone tablet records the original origin of Guili Plain.

People gathered here and prospered because of agriculture. The god they worshipped was called "Gui Zhong," who was powerful and could control dust. The dust would fly up and cover the sky, protecting the entire Gui Li Ji.

Hu Tao gave a simple translation of the text recorded on the stone tablet, and Bao'er suddenly understood.

"So that's what it means..." Bao'er murmured subconsciously.

"Sister Bao'er, didn't you know before?" Hu Tao looked at her with a surprised expression, but actually meant to tease her.

This person claims to be an archaeologist, but he has no real expertise whatsoever.

Only a fool would believe that.

"Cough! How could that be? I'm an archaeologist. How could I not know about something like this!"

Chapter 662 There really is a clue

"I just suddenly remembered some clues."

Seeing the two people's somewhat suspicious looks, Bao'er deliberately kept them in suspense.

"What clue?"

"Follow me."

"Where?"

"The location of the next stone tablet."

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Perhaps finding the treasure really does depend on this person.

The two followed Bao'er around and around until they arrived at the next stone tablet.

This stone tablet is equally ancient, with inscriptions carved on it.

"...four admonitions were given to the people...then a god descended, using rock as a vessel, and moved the Liyue people to a settlement to protect them..."

Many of the characters on the stone tablet have been worn away, and only these are still legible.

"What are the Four Admonitions?" Jiang Bai asked Bao'er.

How could Bao'er possibly know?

Although she was the leader of the treasure-hunting gang, she wasn't a smart one, had little education, and was uncultured, so even she had difficulty understanding it.

"I don't know either," Bao'er said honestly, shaking her head.

Lying in a place like this is too easy to be exposed.

"Peach Pit Girl, what do you think of the inscription on this stele?"

"Considering the inscription we saw earlier, and combining them... it should all record the origins of Guili Plain. This second deity to arrive is our Rock King Emperor."

After that, three more stone tablets were found. The contents recorded on the stone tablets were similar to what Zhongli had said, and even less clear.

"Now that we've examined all the stone tablets, Bao'er, where's the clue you mentioned?"

Jiang Bai blinked at Bao'er, looking innocent and naive.

He checked them; they were just stone tablets.

There's nothing special about it.

As for the contents recorded on the stone tablet, there's even less to do with any treasure.

Having examined all the stone tablets without finding any clues about the treasure, Bao'er's mind raced.

It's far too early for her to reveal her true colors; she needs to carefully maintain her image as an archaeologist.

She said mysteriously, "Didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?" Jiang Bai tilted his head.

“Connect the locations of these five stone tablets with a line, and see what you get,” Bao’er said with great certainty.

The five stone tablets are not in the same location. As long as they are connected with a line, she can make up any pattern she wants.

If there's an intersection point, it's even simpler; she just said the treasure is at the intersection point.

Who knows, maybe it really does exist?

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, genuinely not expecting such a line of thought.

He immediately took out a map of Guili Plain, marked the location of the stone tablet on the map, and then connected them with lines.

By connecting them in this way, the positions of the stone tablets form a square, and by connecting the last point, they become two squares.

This pattern is quite common and often appears as a design on clothing and other items.

"There's definitely something hidden here!"

Hu Tao was genuinely surprised.

It seems they stumbled upon something by accident.

But what clues does this pattern involve?

"Sister Bao'er, you must often conduct investigations in the Guili Plain area, right? Do you have any thoughts on this pattern?" Hu Tao tried to get close to him very skillfully.

"Let me think, let me think..." Bao'er casually broke off a tree branch and kept poking at the ground.

She did see the pattern somewhere, but couldn't quite place it.

After getting a little frustrated, she simply threw the branch in her hand away.

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"

She was going back to find her younger brothers.

Everyone brainstormed and offered their ideas.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao stood there, watching Bao'er leave.

"Master, where do you think she's going?"

"Just follow them and you'll find out."

With a flick of her finger, Hu Tao summoned the little ghost from the ring, which silently burrowed into the ground and followed them.

Bao'er made her way through a maze of twists and turns to the treasure-stealing group's camp.

"The boss is back!"

"Has the boss found any treasure?"

"I just saw the boss looking for a stone tablet with two other people. Could they be searching for some treasure?"

"You guessed right, there really is treasure, and a big one at that!"

Bao'er stood there with an imposing air, and her boss-like aura immediately emanated from her.

"The reason we've been staying in Guili Plain is because of the treasure inscribed on that ancient stone tablet!"

Antiques and porcelain are child's play; their real purpose here is the mysterious Guili Treasure.

A stone tablet clearly reads:

"...The treasure lies in the return to the source, which leads to the 'Four Commandments of Returning to the Source.' Future generations who wish to attain it should examine their own hearts in light of these commandments..."

With such a clear indication of the treasure's existence, how could they possibly give up?

Of course, to prevent others from noticing the Guili treasure, they destroyed the stone tablet.

Therefore, the information about the treasure that Jiang Bai and his group obtained is of utmost importance!

Perhaps this time we can find the real Guili treasure in one fell swoop!

Bao'er quickly drew the pattern and distributed it to everyone.

"Try to recall if you've seen this pattern before."

She never expected that what she had just made up on the spot would actually lead to a clue.

"Boss, I think I've seen this pattern on a stone wall before."

"Yes, yes, I remember now! It was a huge stone wall!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember too!"

Bao'er finally remembered where she had seen this pattern before.

"I'm going back now. Take those two to that wall. You guys follow quietly, but be careful not to be spotted by them, understand?"

Those two people look innocent, but their actual strength is yet to be seen.

Just to be on the safe side, it would be best to call all the underlings along.

Once they find the treasure, will those two still be able to defeat this whole group?

If you know what's good for you, you might save your life.

If you don't know what's good for you... Humph!

In this desolate wilderness, it's perfectly normal for unlucky souls to be killed by monsters.

"No problem, no problem!"

The group of underlings gave him an OK sign; they were all too familiar with this kind of thing.

Their leader is best at using that innocent and pure face to trick passing adventurers into helping her find treasure.

If the adventurer doesn't find anything unusual, then of course it's a win-win situation for everyone.

If they find out, they'll have no choice but to rob them outright.

However, they dared not go too far, since there were still quite a few Thousand Word Army soldiers stationed on the main roads of Guili Plain.

The reason so many of them have been able to stay here peacefully is because they have managed to strike the right balance.

But this time is different; this time it involves the Guili Treasure!

It's completely different from ordinary antique ceramic bowls!

"Alright, I'm off. Remember to take your gear."

Chapter 663 This Big Sister is Really Something

Before Bao'er returned, Xiao Youhun had already come back first and told Hu Tao everything he had heard and seen.

When Hu Tao heard that Bao'er was planning to take action against them after finding the treasure, her eyes narrowed.

"Tsk, this Bao'er is really something, she's actually the leader of the local treasure-hunting gang."

To be honest, Jiang Bai guessed that she might be a member of the treasure-stealing gang.

But I never expected that she would be the leader of the treasure-hunting gang.

Jiang Bai felt that someone who could be the leader of a treasure-hunting gang had to be at least like Sister Beidou.

But it turned out to be Bao'er, who looked like the girl next door and had no aggression.

You can only say that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Bao'er jogged back to where Jiang Bai and the other person were.

Her face was filled with excitement and eagerness to share.

I must say, the performance was really good.

"found it!"

"Found it!" Jiang Bai and Hu Tao were also overjoyed.

In terms of acting skills, none of the three are lacking.

"Great! Peach! We've been searching for this treasure for so long, and we finally have a clue."

Taking advantage of the moment, he picked up Hu Tao and kissed her on the cheek to show his excitement.

Hearing this title, Hu Tao got goosebumps all over.
