==Dialogue==
:Soraya: Guizhong's Four Commandments... What are they really trying to tell us...
: I'm ready.
::Soraya: Haha, raring to go! That's what I like to see. Then let's begin our reading of Guizhong's Four Commandments.
: Let's go find that treasure!!!
::Soraya: Whew, the slightest mention of treasure and you're suddenly beside yourself with excitement... Hmm so be it — let's begin our reading of Guizhong's Four Commandments.
:Soraya: "Teach with wisdom, be bound by virtue, fortify the bones, unite in ambition — the convergence of these four shall be known as the 'Guili Assembly.'"
:Soraya: On the surface, it does read like a set of commandments. Golden rules for life.
:Soraya: But it's also supposed to contain some sort of clues to a hidden treasure...
:Soraya: ...I can't decipher it, though. It seems we'll have to approach this in what academics like to call the old-fashioned way...
:Soraya: Those seven passages we found previously, they were all located in ruins of some sort.
:Soraya: Since we're not sure where to start this time, perhaps keep searching in ruins for now.
: ...Where exactly?
::Soraya: Hmm... For now, let's limit the search area to Guili Plains.
::Soraya: However... as I'm just a scholar, there's no way I'd be able to keep up with you out in the field.
::Soraya: So I will leave the actual ruin-searching to you. Just let me know what you find.
: ...ALL the ruins?
::Soraya: Obviously not... We'd never be able to cover all the ruins in Liyue just between the two of us.
::Soraya: So let's limit the search area. Since the treasure has to do with the Guili Assembly from the Guili Plains...
::Soraya: ...Let's restrict our search to the Guili Plains area for now.
::Soraya: Oh, and one other thing. There's no way a scholar like me could keep up with you out in the field.
::Soraya: So I will leave the actual ruin-searching to you. Just let me know what you find.
: Ruins of Liyue, here I come!
::Soraya: Wait! Hold on a second! ...How exactly do you propose to cover every single ruin in Liyue!? It'll take you forever!
::Soraya: You can't afford to get so excited every time you hear the word treasure, you know.
::Soraya: How about this — since we know the treasure comes from the Guili Assembly in the Guili Plains, let's restrict the search area.
::Soraya: Okay... to start with, let's limit the search to inside Guili Plains...
::Soraya: Hold on! I'm not finished yet! ...Don't forget to search the ruins thoroughly. And if you find anything of interest, come back and let me know.
::Soraya: Remember, stick to the Guili Plains! Don't let you boundless enthusiasm lead you further afield.
:Soraya: While we're on the subject — I once came across a strange plate with some writing on in one of the ruins around here.
:Soraya: I only looked at it in isolation though. Didn't do any sort of holistic analysis.
:Soraya: Now I think about it, it might be connected to Guizhong's Four Commandments.
:Soraya: How about I mark the location on your map? You should go check it out, maybe it'll lead somewhere.
;(Talk to Soraya again)
:Soraya: I wonder how the Guili Assembly met its demise...
: Remind me of Guizhong's Four Commandments.
::Soraya: Having trouble memorizing them? I understand, most people would. Fortunately, I have a rather good memory for this sort of thing.
::Soraya: Guizhong's Four Commandments are as follows: "Teach with wisdom, be bound by virtue, fortify the bones, unite in ambition — the convergence of these four shall be known as the 'Guili Assembly.'"
:;(Takes you back to the first line)
: A battle for territory between the gods?
::Soraya: A territorial challenge, you say? Hmm... but the Guili Assembly is said to have existed peacefully under Guizhong's rule for a very long time.
::Soraya: Not that Guizhong was a particularly powerful god... At least, that's my impression...
::Soraya: But there seems to have been another god with the Guizhong Assembly besides Guizhong. I highly doubt anyone would have been foolish enough to try and take on two gods at once...
:;(Takes you back to the first line)
: Someone wanted the treasure? (Unlock requirements unknown)
::Soraya: Unlikely. The great gods would not have waged an all-out war over a bit of treasure that took their fancy.
::Soraya: Or if they did, then you have to ask yourself... What kind of treasure would it take to drive the gods into war with each other?
::Soraya: ...Haha, I for one cannot imagine such a treasure.
:;(Takes you back to the first line)
: Maybe Guizhong and one of the other gods... (Unlock requirements unknown)
::Soraya: Wh—What are you suggesting? ...You shouldn't pay any heed to those tall tales you hear in Liyue Harbor.
::Soraya: Guizhong was a god, a deity... Not a mere mortal...
::Soraya: ...S—Surely a god wouldn't... Surely not...
:;(Takes you back to the first line)
: I also wonder...
::Soraya: Maybe it's to do with the Archon War.
::Soraya: A protracted war erupted between the gods, each of whom coveted a seat at one of the seven divine thrones in Celestia.
::Soraya: It seems that none in Teyvat escaped the reach of that all-consuming war.
:;(Takes you back to the first line)
: Goodbye.
::Soraya: Goodbye. Don't forget to come back and tell me if you find anything.

;(After investigating first jade plate)
:Paimon: This looks like the kind of place Soraya was hoping to find.
:Paimon: If she's right, there should be three more of these around here.
:Paimon: We'd better keep looking.
;(After investigating second jade plate)
:Paimon: It's one of the lines from the four commandments.
:Paimon: Two down, two to go!
;(After investigating third jade plate)
:Paimon: Another line from those four commandments. This must be one of the places we need to find.
:Paimon: Just one more to find now. What do you think we'll discover?
;(After investigating fourth jade plate)
:Paimon: Four ruins, four commandments...
:Paimon: That's gotta be all of them. Feels like we didn't make any huge discoveries though...
:Paimon: Oh well, let's get back to Soraya. Maybe she'll see something we don't.
----
;(Return to Soraya)
:Soraya: Sometimes fate is inescapable, even for a god...
: I found four clues in four ruins.
:Soraya: Four ruins, four clues... And there are Four Commandments.
:Soraya: Each of these clues expounds upon the meaning of one of the Four Commandments.
:Soraya: To get to the correct interpretation, the original text of Guizhong's Commandments is key. These four are helpful, but peripheral to our enquiry.
:Soraya: These five passages are all linked — but how?
: "Convergence..."
:Soraya: Hmm... Could "convergence" mean that... these four things all link up in some way?
:Soraya: Wait — I remember, each of Guizhong's Four Commandments can be found in a specific ruin...
:Soraya: Hmmm... I am speculating here, but perhaps the four are relevant to deciphering the true meaning of Guizhong's Four Commandments...
:Soraya: How exactly, I don't know. I need to mull it over. Maybe you could have a think too — or better still, go and investigate it firsthand.
:Soraya: I'm just a skinny little scholar after all, I tire out completely after a few seconds on the run... Wish I had your stamina!
:Soraya: Anyways, I'm going to keep thinking about it for a while. If you think of anything, or if you find anything, you know where I am.
;(Talk to Soraya again)
:Soraya: It's a speculative hypothesis, but I believe the four ruins corresponding to each of Guizhong's Four Commandments may be relevant to deciphering their true meaning...
:Soraya: Exactly what role the ruins are supposed to play, well, that's another question. And... I don't think I have the physical strength to test out each of my hypotheses in full...
:Soraya: It's also possible that I just have a one-track mind, and this idea is leading me nowhere...
----
;(After obtaining treasure)
:Paimon: Is this the treasure? We should go tell .
;(Talk to Soraya again)
:Soraya: How is the search going? Found the treasure yet?
: Yes, it was about where they "converge" after all.
:Soraya: Really... So it's just like Guizhong's Four Commandments says. The treasure was located at "the convergence of these four..."
:Soraya: Whoever designed this riddle must have truly revered Guizhong.
:Soraya: So much so that they preserved Guizhong's Four Commandments for future generations, even though the Guili Assembly was wiped out.
:Soraya: And as for Guizhong herself, who established the commandments — she must have been adored by her people.
:Soraya: Clearly, she wished for her people to be wise, to hold themselves to a moral code, to be strong and healthy, and to find solidarity in the shared enterprise of protecting their home — the Guili Assembly...
: But she failed.
::Soraya: Failed? I suppose you're right, she died in the end... and when the Guili Assembly was wiped out, her people no longer had a place to call home.
::Soraya: And yet, today, Guizhong's Four Commandments have seen the light of day once more.
::Soraya: These were the words penned by Guizhong herself to serve both as maxims and blessing for her people.
::Soraya: Once there was a time when she led her people to go forth and take this very land, guided by these commandments.
::Soraya: She may no longer be with us, but her beliefs, the things she stood for — they will endure.
::Soraya: Whoever it was that revered her so much was very clever indeed. They used the allure of hidden treasure to ensure Guizhong's Four Commandments would be passed down.
::Soraya: Though for that person, I wonder whether the treasure they held dear was the rare metals and precious stones, or Guizhong's Four Commandments themselves.
::Soraya: Haha, well, to me at least, it's clear that the commandments are the real treasures here. A chest full of gold or gems can't compare.
::Soraya: ...But if you made people choose, how many would really pick a list of commandments over material wealth?
: Seems like a gentle-natured god.
::Soraya: I'm not sure "gentle-natured" is a particularly common trait of gods...
::Soraya: But maybe it was once. Maybe a long, long time ago, among the gods who led the peoples of the world, there were those gentle by nature.
::Soraya: Those who protected their people... walked among them... stood by them as they went forth into the world...
::Soraya: But it was the gentle gods who were ultimately powerless to protect their people. Look at Guizhong — it took an elaborate treasure hunt just to preserve the four commandments that were once the lifeblood of a whole civilization.
::Soraya: Haha, well, to me at least, it's clear that the commandments are the real treasures here. A chest full of gold or gems can't compare.
::Soraya: ...But if you made people choose, how many would really pick a list of commandments over material wealth?
: I wish I could meet her...
::Soraya: You want to meet a god? You do entertain some wild thoughts.
::Soraya: But I'm curious, what would you say to Guizhong if you actually got to meet her?
::Soraya: "...Cheer up, Guizhong, you did your best"?
::Soraya: If it were me... I'd recite Guizhong's Four Commandments flawlessly from memory.
::Soraya: And I'd tell her that her vision and her ideals were alive and well, that the people of this land still remember the things she taught to their ancestors.
::Soraya: I think that for someone like Guizhong, who lost everything... That would be the only thing that could lift her spirits.
