Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Ying, Guiyan and Gu Ling followed Chen Ma back to the house where she lived.

However, calling it a house is really an injustice to its huge area. It is actually an extremely spacious mansion with several courtyards, and it even occupies an entire street - from east to west, the entire street is the wall of this mansion.

Although this place is relatively remote, which took them an hour to walk here from the market, it could not conceal the shock that this house brought to them.

"Is Aunt Chen a rich person?" Ying came back to her senses from the shock of seeing this big house and asked Gu Ling in a low voice.

"I thought she was just an ordinary housewife."

"I guess so, but it's a little different." Gu Ling pointed to the door of the house, covered her voice with magic power, and said:

"According to the people here, Aunt Chen was an orphan who was adopted and raised by a wealthy man here. The wealthy man also had a son and a daughter, but the two of them didn't have a good relationship with the wealthy man, and they didn't want to stay in this town, so they moved out a few years ago."

"When the rich man died of illness, those two came back and inherited all of his property. Only this house was not taken away by those two because the rich man specifically left it to Aunt Chen in his will."

"So even though Aunt Chen has such a big house, she doesn't have much property, so she has to rent out some rooms. But in this closed town, not many people would rent, so her income is not that high."

"Plus, in order to repay the rich man's kindness in raising her, she has adopted a lot of homeless children, so the situation at home has become even worse."

After saying this, everyone just walked to the door.

Ying had only noticed that there were two majestic-looking stone lions at the door. When she got closer, she found that the red paint on the gate had peeled off, the door handle was severely rusted, and even the two stone lions were full of pits and looked quite miserable.

Walking into the yard, there were a lot of weeds growing inside. The weeds near the wall were growing very well, even a head taller than Ying, while the weeds inside the yard were shorter. Fortunately, it was winter now, and the weeds had turned yellow. If they were allowed to continue growing, I wonder what the yard would look like.

However, should this grass that grows on the bottom of the water be called "water grass"? Although it looks exactly the same as grass on land,

"Sister Juan!"

As soon as they entered the door, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest look greeted Chen Ma, and let Ying and Guiyan know that Chen Ma's real name was Chen Juan.

Then Ying took a look at the man who greeted her and found that he was rather fat. His smile made the fat on his face piled together, making him look a little greasy.

Although the other person's smile was sincere and her eyes did not dare to look directly at others, when she noticed Ying and Guiyan behind Chen Juan, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again:

"Ying and Guiyan are back too. What a coincidence today that you two came back together." After saying this, he habitually lowered his gaze. He wanted to look at the ground, but he was attracted by Ying's appearance. He didn't dare to look at Ying but wanted to look at her. His eyes swayed up and down, looking a little funny.

Ying looked at the other person helplessly and noticed that he was holding a basin in his hand. In the basin were large chunks of meat, all sprinkled with fine salt. It seemed that the person in front of him was preparing to make pickled meat.

Before Chen Juan could reply, a mean-looking woman poked her head out of a lighted room in a side room near the gate. She saw the simple-minded middle-aged man standing there blankly, and immediately shouted:

"Mr. Zhu! You went to chop bones and why haven't you come back in such a long time? Hurry and get into the house!"

After saying that, Ying noticed that the woman glared at Chen Juan fiercely. Although she was a tenant living in Chen Juan's house, the woman seemed to have no respect for Chen Juan at all.

Inside the main house, Ying could still see several figures hiding behind the door.

Although Ying also wanted to know the situation of this family, the most important thing now was to summarize the information collected so far.

So, after saying goodbye to Chen Juan, everyone came to Gu Ling's room. Ling Yue used Gui Yan's body to place a ban in the room. After confirming that it was safe, they began to communicate:

The first person to speak was Gu Ling. She had already figured out the information that Ying, Guiyan and Lingyue had obtained today. Moreover, she considered herself a senior and had the responsibility to lead everyone.

"Ahem, first of all, I have taken you to visit the main places in this town. You have a general understanding of the situation. If you want to investigate safely here, the most important thing is to abide by the rules."

"I have made the rules very clear before: although we are at the bottom of the lake, we cannot swim in front of people. We cannot let the townspeople know that the town has sunk to the bottom of the lake. We cannot let them know that we have become a monster. Other than that, some of the trivial things we do will be rationalized by them, so the risk of being exposed is actually not that great."

Guiyan also followed Gu Ling and said:

"Also, the people in the town only appear during the day and night, and disappear at dawn and dusk. Moreover, they are actually active during this time, so you can't stay in the town when it's almost daytime or night, otherwise there will be problems."

"That's right!" Gu Ling nodded.

"Then there are those temples. People here go to worship the statues every day, day and night. This concerns me a little. Gu Ling... Senior, have you ever worshipped the statues in there?" Ying asked Gu Ling.

When Gu Ling heard Ying call her "senior", she raised her eyebrows happily, but when she heard "worship the statue", her eyebrows drooped again.

"I won't worship a wild immortal from nowhere!"

Wild, wild immortal?

"This is a really novel way of saying it." Ying said in her heart.

Gu Ling spread her hands and continued as if it was a matter of course:

"You have also met the master. I am the master's disciple. How can I worship other immortals? Moreover, we don't know whether those immortals are still alive, whether they have been possessed by demons, and whether the situation at the bottom of the lake is related to them. No matter what the reason is, I can't worship them."

"That makes sense." Ying said as she looked at Guiyan. Sure enough, Lingyue in her body also transmitted a message:

"As immortals, they will not worship others casually. Even if they want to worship, they will worship the celestial immortals. For example, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan and his disciples may even only worship 'heaven' and 'earth'."

"Well, it seems I have to try it myself." Ying said, "I am quite concerned about the three immortal statues, especially the Flute Immortal, the Sword Immortal and the Gourd Immortal. It's just that their statues are the only ones intact. It's hard not to suspect that they are related to this lake."

The other three also agreed with this point.

"Then there are the two possessed immortals. I don't know what they will do and whether it will have an impact on us."

Because he had fought with some demonic monks not long ago, and even earlier had fought with Hei Lingyue, an immortal who was almost possessed by a demon, Ying was still very afraid of demonic things.

Of course, their most important goal when diving into the lake is the treasure at the bottom of the lake.

"You said that what the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan wants us to get is in the center of the lake, so why don't we go to the center of the lake tomorrow to take a look?"

After Ying finished speaking, Guiyan suddenly realized:

"That's right! Our goal is the center of the lake. Why do we have to go to the town first? Why don't we just go directly to the center?"

It's no wonder that Gui Yan had never thought of this. After all, as soon as they reached the bottom of the lake, Gu Ling took them around the town. They encountered so many strange things along the way and heard about these weird rules. Their minds were always on these things, and it was inevitable that they forgot their goal.

In fact, Ying only reacted during the time she was resting in the room.

"You are so naive, youngster! Why do you think I brought you to the town instead of the center of the lake? It's because the center of the lake is inaccessible now."

"There is a natural restriction in the center of the lake. Not only me, but even my master may not be able to easily break it. I brought you to the town to find a way to break it."
