I wanted to straighten out some things for my own reference - time is confusing and tangled in Dixing. Or Haixing. Or the entire planet, clearly. ;-)
Yeah, the Hallows were scattered and lost lots of different times, to listen to people. ;-) I am tentatively interpreting "scattered" and "lost" as different things, because: It is only when the Guardian Lantern is extinguished and the Hallows are "lost" (as said in ep 35) that Dixing's ressources dwindle. The resulting increased escape of Dixingians then becomes a problem, and so on...
If the Dixingians had been without the Hallows all along, why the change in status just before the Black-Cloaked Envoy is found...? And why did nobody look for them before Shen Wei sends off the search team?
Alternately, maybe the Hallows were scattered AND lost 10k years ago, but the Guardian Lantern was only extinguished 30 (or so) years ago. But that is even further removed from the various statements in the series.
Time is malleable around the Hallows. There is no other explanation.
In the first ep with Butler Wu (ep 4?), there's a reference to Shen Wei sending a team of Dixingren to Haixing in search of the Hallows.
Yep, but this timeline is just for the SID itself. Some of the rest - most certainly including this failed expedition - may appear in future posts. ;-)
(I debated putting Li Qian on there at all, since the lab is only peripherally connected to the SID, but hey. She is cool. So. ;-) )
