Return to the original ruins

"Thank God, I finally met someone......."

After seeing the arrival of Li Yuan and the other two, the man in blue showed excitement on his face.

"Hello, are you having any trouble?"

The traveler and Paimon instinctively went up to the man in blue and asked him when they saw that he seemed to need help.

"There were indeed some difficulties......"The man in blue showed a hint of bitterness, and then said:"My name is Zhikong, I am a gem merchant in Liyue. Some time ago, I found a peculiar-looking gem near Guiliyuan. This gem has a smooth surface and bright color, and is deeply loved by customers.

Today I was planning to try my luck here again, but I didn't expect to meet the ruins guard on the way. The gems I collected with great difficulty accidentally fell there......."

"Gemstone?!"

The Traveler and Paimon looked surprised.

"Of course, if you can help me get these gems back, I will pay you!" The man in blue who called himself Zhikong said repeatedly

"Don't worry, leave it to us, we are very powerful, dealing with some ruins guards is no problem!" Paimon patted his chest with confidence.

The traveler rolled his eyes at Paimon:"Paimon, every time we fight, I am the only one doing the work, right?"

Paimon pouted:"Hehe, don't say that, we are best partners."

Li Yuan, who witnessed everything, did not say anything. She always felt that the blue-clothed man in front of her named Zhikong was a little strange.

She couldn't tell what was strange.

Under the leadership of Zhikong, the three of them indeed found the figures of three ruins guards not far from the Guiliyuan ruins.

The warm-hearted traveler acted quickly and soon solved the three ruins guards.

"Thank you so much!!"

Zhikong hurried forward and looked at the traveler and Paimon with gratitude.

Then, he came to the place where the ruins guards were wandering and took out a large bag from an abandoned tent.

"Great, they are all still here!"

Zhi Kong was delighted. He took out three bright blue gems from his bag and handed them to Li Yuan and the other two.

"These three gems will be your reward. Thank you very much. If you have the chance, you can go to Zhikong Jewel Shop in Liyue. The new shop has just opened, and there are still many gifts that have not been given away."

Zhikong said repeatedly

""Wow, what a beautiful gem!" Paimeng's eyes lit up when he took the gem.

When he heard that Zhikong's gem shop also had gifts, Paimeng showed an expectant look.

"Traveler, Li Yuan, has gifts. After we arrive in Liyue, do you want to go to his shop and take a look?"

"You are always welcome to visit us!" Zhi Kong said with a smile.

Only Li Yuan, who took the gem, was slightly stunned. Her breath was very weak, but she did sense a trace of space breath from the gem.

"I want to ask you, where did you find this gem?"

At this time, Li Yuan, who had been silent, asked

"It's like this, these gems are near the ruins of Guiliyuan. Some time ago, I accidentally discovered a new mine there and found these strange-looking gems."Zhikong explained quickly

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

She had suspected that Zhikong in front of her was related to the space barrier of Guiliyuan.

But after observing Zhikong along the way and finding that he was no different from an ordinary person, she gave up this idea.......

Above Liyue. Inside the Qunyu Pavilion.

A woman with long platinum hair stood in front of the stage. She was wearing a cheongsam with alternating gold, white, and black tones. Her pair of scarlet eyes were particularly deep.

"Lord Ningguang, the caravans we sent to other countries in recent days have all returned, saying that they encountered some barriers on the road. This barrier is invisible to the naked eye, and even some powerful guards cannot break through it!"

A confidant wearing glasses came in and said

"Oh?"

Ningguang's eyes flashed with surprise.

"The invisible barrier is fine if it lasts for a few days, but if it lasts for a long time, the impact will be great......."

As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Tianquan, and a famous merchant in Liyue, Ningguang has an extremely strong business mind.

Unexpectedly, there would be an invisible barrier blocking the way of her caravan!

"Where exactly is the barrier located?" Ning Guang asked without changing her expression.

"At present, the caravans that went to Xumi, Mondstadt, Fontaine, and Inazuma have all returned empty-handed. It seems that some powerful existence is trying to separate Liyue from Teyvat.

The barriers that are currently known are located in the Layered Abyss, Minlin, Qiongji Wild, and Yunlai Sea. These four barriers are interconnected, forming a closed space that traps Liyue City inside.

We have sent many people to investigate, but they are helpless against this invisible barrier."

Hearing this, Ningguang showed a touch of surprise.

It was the first time she had heard of the invisible barrier in such a long time.

""Can we contact Beidou?" Ningguang asked. The confidant shook his head and said,"Master Beidou went to Inazuma some time ago and has not returned yet. He is probably trapped outside by this barrier......."

Ningguang stood up directly, her expression slightly serious.

"Looks like I'll have to handle this matter myself......."As she spoke, Ningguang walked out of the house.

At the same time, above the Qunyu Pavilion, on the roof, a clone of Li Yuan, the Crazy Emperor, was standing there. She heard all the conversations between Ningguang and her confidant.

"The abyss of rocks, the sea of clouds, the forest of jade, the wild fields of Qiongji......I remember these four places are located in the four corners of Liyue, right?" The clone Li Yuan muttered.

These four places seem to be at the edge of the space barrier.

If you want to find the reason, it seems that you have to start from these four places.

���If we include the original body, wouldn't it be better if the four of us go to different places?"

The voice of another clone came from my mind.

"Isn't the main body planning to go to the Layered Abyss with the travelers? The three of us are just right, so we can go one to each place."

""I agree."

The three clones of the Emperor Kuang Kuang discussed it, and they quickly reached a consensus as they were already one.

In order to find the demon hiding in the dark, the three clones of the Emperor Kuang Kuang immediately set off and rushed to Yun Lai Hai, Min Lin, and Qiong Ji Ye respectively.
