Bao'er coldly watched the couple feeding her dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Let you be arrogant for a while.

The treasure-hunting team dug until nightfall before finally carving a path through the hard rock to the space behind the wall.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao were about to go to sleep, but seeing this, they had no choice but to put the tent aside for the time being and follow the treasure-hunting group who were already eager to go inside.

Even though we already know what's behind the stone wall, there are still some things we have to see for ourselves.

The first members of the treasure-hunting group to enter the space were excitedly looking at it, using glowing mineral lights as illumination.

This must be a sacrificial site, and it is quite large.

The surrounding stone carvings are quite exquisite, and because they are located underground, they have not been eroded by wind and rain and are very well preserved.

The walls are carved with patterns that extend all the way to the stone platform at the top.

A stone statue is placed on the stone platform.

Upon closer inspection, the stone statue was fully revealed.

This is a stone statue of a woman, but she is wearing a hood, so her face is not visible.

She sat on the stone platform, holding a handful of wheat, her posture exuding gentleness.

"Is this the Demon God of Dust?" Bao'er's tone was somewhat uncertain.

This was not quite the Dust Demon God she had imagined, but she didn't know what the Dust Demon God should look like.

She stepped forward and tapped on the stone statue to confirm that it was just an ordinary stone statue.

On the stone table in front of the statue is a bronze incense burner. The incense burner has not been lit for a long time, and the incense sticks that were once inserted into it have long since rotted away.

Bao'er's gaze immediately fell on the incense burner.

Antiques! Absolutely antiques!

Such a large and well-preserved antique could definitely fetch a good price.

However, she did not act rashly.

There is a real treasure involved here, and we shouldn't rush to take these things until we find it.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

"When you encounter a statue of a deity, you should bow to it first; that's the custom."

This is considered an unwritten rule in treasure hunting.

Treasure theft, treasure theft, to put it bluntly, it's tomb raiding.

These ancient ruins are no different from tombs, and many are even buried deep underground, requiring excavation.

They paid their respects to the tomb owner, so they could take these treasures without any qualms.

Just as the henchman next to him was about to light incense, he heard Jiang Bai's voice.

Wow, this place is quite spacious.

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai had already passed through that passage and arrived here.

Jiang Bai scanned the entire space, his gaze finally settling on the now-collapsed entrance.

It was clear that the entrance to this space was not the stone wall they had seen.

Even that stone wall has little to do with this space; it's just a wall.

The real entrance has long since collapsed, but this place has been preserved because of the solidity of the surrounding rocks.

After looking around for a while, the two arrived in front of the stone statue.

Guili Village is based on agriculture and prospers through agriculture. Although the demon god Guizhong is not good at fighting, he is good at education and agriculture.

"Is this the final resting place of the Demon God of Dust?"

"Let's offer some incense."

This is a demon god who once protected the people of Liyue alongside the Emperor; he deserves our utmost respect.

Hu Tao took out several fine incense sticks, and after the two bowed in reverence, they inserted them into the incense burner.

This incense burner, silent for thousands of years, has once again produced wisps of smoke.

After a simple offering, Hu Tao carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues about the treasure.

"There seem to be ancient characters on the wall..."

All the members of the treasure-hunting team gathered together because of what Hu Tao said.

A beam of light shone on the wall, and Hu Tao was able to decipher the text above it.

"The final four commandments... teach them with wisdom, discipline them with virtue, strengthen their bones and muscles, and unite their will and hearts."

"Isn't that the sentence I saw?" Jiang Bai said subconsciously.

Perhaps it was Hu Tao's words that triggered some mechanism, and the actual statue of the god lit up with a faint light.

Some illusory images appeared in this ancient sacrificial site.

In ancient times, people would place the first ear of wheat of the harvest in front of the stone statue's table.

Ancient sacrifices were both solemn and sacred.

They congratulated their gods and prayed for a bountiful harvest in the next season.

A sound came from an unknown direction, ethereal and illusory yet grand and layered.

"With one heart and one mind, our resolve will endure forever."

"Strengthen your muscles and bones, and act when the time is right."

"His wisdom is like water, benefiting all things, and serving as a mirror for self-reflection."

"His virtue is like a tree, providing shade for a room, and its life continues endlessly."

Remember, "Teach them with wisdom, discipline them with virtue, strengthen their resolve, and unite their will." This is the most important treasure of Guiliyuan, and future generations should remember it forever.

Jiang Bai was stunned.

Chapter 665 He felt wronged, but he didn't say it.

This is the treasure of Guili Plain?!

This is the treasure he traveled all this way to find?

These few words of admonition are indeed the most precious treasures in the history of Guiliyuan.

But he was an ordinary man.

He wanted the kind of thing that could be traded for Mora.

"Master, you've tricked me so badly..."

Was Zhongli wrong in saying that he returned to the original treasure?

No, there are indeed treasures.

It was indeed left behind by the Demon God of Dust.

It was on the very paper he wrote on.

Looking for treasures while searching for treasures, no wonder his master looked at him like that back then.

Jiang Bai's shoulders slumped.

What does it feel like to have worked for nothing?

That's the feeling.

"What? This is hardly a treasure!"

Some members of the treasure-hunting group were indignant.

After all that work, all I got was to tell them, "This is all the baby is?"

What use are these Four Commandments for the End of Life to them?

It's not even worth as much as a Mora!

Seeing these sights disappear, the members of the treasure-hunting gang were seized by evil thoughts.

"Boss, let's move this stone statue out and sell it!"

"This might be the only stone statue of the Dust Demon God in existence; it's sure to fetch a good price!"

After all this time in Guiliyuan, this is the only complete stone statue they have found.

We didn't find the treasure, but we can't let this trip be in vain.

It's just a stone statue. The Dust Demon God has been dead for so long, who would bother them?

After learning that this was the treasure of Guili Plain, Bao'er completely disregarded Jiang Bai and the other two, directly revealing her big sister temperament and ordering her underlings around.

"And that incense burner, clean it up and take it out of here."

"Take out all the stone bricks on the ground, especially those with the most intricate patterns!"

“Go back and get some more people to dig along that collapsed entrance and see if we can find anything else of value.”

After giving the instructions, Bao'er's gaze fell on Jiang Bai and Hu Tao.

She sat arrogantly on the stone platform in front of the statue, pointing at the two of them with her finger.

"And you two, I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. Hand over anything of value you have, and be sensible enough not to force us to take action."

"Sister Bao'er, aren't you looking for [Chen Guang] anymore?"

Jiang Bai stared at her speechlessly.

It's only said that the treasure of Guiliyuan is the Four Commandments of Return, but that doesn't mean there aren't other treasures.

Wasn't the magical artifact he created attractive enough that he turned against him so directly?

"If you had any clues, of course I would have looked for them. But what happened? You didn't have any clues at all! I was the one who found this place!"

Bao'er is no fool for becoming the big sister here.

A magical artifact that is only mentioned briefly in ancient books, whose authenticity is unknown, cannot be found without any clues.

Along the way, she thought these two people had some clues, but they turned out to have no clues at all.

If there are no clues, then it can be completely ignored.

"You were the one who said you were an archaeologist and wanted to come with us," Jiang Bai muttered, seemingly somewhat unconvinced.

"That's because I heard you guys say there were clues about treasure."

Bao'er was too lazy to argue with them, so she pulled out a large machete, her eyes gleaming dangerously.

"I've spared your lives since you found this place, so you'd better be sensible."

Jiang Bai tilted his head. "We've already seen your faces. Aren't you afraid we'll go back and report you to the police?"

Jiang Bai's words also reminded the members of the treasure-stealing group.

"The boss and the others are right, we can't let them go back! Anyway, this place is deserted, we can kill them, bury them somewhere, and no one will find out."

"Tsk, I was originally thinking of sparing your lives. Well, you reminded me yourself."

“You’re going to kill us? That’s completely different from what happened before. One is robbery, the other is murder, and the sentences for those are completely different.”

He narrowed his eyes, noticing that Jiang Bai and Hu Taobao'er showed no fear.

"Go together!"

Without saying anything more, she waved her hand, and all her henchmen behind her picked up their weapons and slashed at the two of them.

"I didn't want to do it, sigh."

Jiang Bai shook his head insincerely and pulled out his "reasoning" technique.

The moment the enormous spiked club appeared, the groups of thieves slowed their pace.

Jiang Bai moved like a swift beam of light, and with a few loud thuds, several members of the treasure-hunting gang were knocked unconscious.

Then look at Bao'er, she has already made her escape.
