Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The Calabash Immortal stated his request, and then looked at Ying. The carved smile made Ying feel uncomfortable.

"Can't you deal with those foreign monks? Wasn't the Sword Immortal very decisive when he dealt with me just now?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Ying's words.

"Please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Sword Immortal for his behavior." The Gourd Immortal bowed slightly to Ying, but what he said next surprised Ying:

"After all, he has been possessed by a demon, and sometimes it is difficult for him to stay sane."

"Possessed by the devil!" Ying was surprised, but not surprised.

Before entering the lake, Ling Yue mentioned that this place has a special attraction for immortals who have been possessed by demons, and the lake water also has unique magic power. At present, except for Gu Ling's small boat and her hat, nothing else can pass on the lake.

There is no aquatic life at the bottom of the lake. The fish that you finally see may be the work of a possessed immortal. The townspeople have also turned into monsters and are operating according to the rules constructed by the lake. On the surface, they all look like normal people, but no one knows what they are like inside.

Considering these factors, if these immortals who have been living at the bottom of the lake were still normal, Ying would find it strange.

What was strange to Ying was that they seemed to be able to control their actions even after being possessed.

"Compared to the two possessed immortals I have seen, the sword immortal is relatively rational." After saying that, Ying stared at the gourd immortal and asked:

"What about you, Senior? I'm afraid you've also been possessed by the devil."

"Of course." Huluxian did not deny it.

"You were able to maintain your sanity after being possessed by the devil. Could it be that it has something to do with the restriction at the bottom of the lake? And those townspeople were able to maintain their previous state and continue to live. Could it also be because of that restriction?"

If this was true, Ying would understand why the Sword Immortal and the Flute Immortal were unwilling to let her lift the ban, and she could also understand the Sword Immortal's rude behavior.

Of course, she also understood why the Great Immortal Zhenyuan wanted her to get the treasure at the bottom of the lake. This treasure could allow the possessed immortals to maintain their sanity and allow the people who became monsters to remain normal. It would definitely play a huge role in her future confrontation with the evil monks.

But what Huluxian said next confused Ying again:

"On the surface, we have indeed maintained our own identities because of the ban, but in reality, we are no longer ourselves."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

“Hehehe…” Huluxian did not continue speaking. His stiff smiling face did not reveal his inner thoughts at the moment. He just stroked his beard with his hand and did not continue speaking.

Ying realized that something might be affecting Huluxian, preventing him from fully expressing his thoughts. She did not continue to ask about this question, but instead asked:

"Then do you have any clues to give me about those foreign monks?"

"So, you agree?" asked the Calabash Immortal.

"Just to understand the situation first." Ying shrugged, "Those two foreign monks should also be immortals who have been possessed by demons. They might have been attracted here by the treasures at the bottom of the lake."

"Have they also retained their sanity because of the existence of the ban?" Ying asked.

The gourd fairy closed his mouth again, stroked his beard and said nothing, without even nodding or shaking his head.

"...Okay." Ying sighed, realizing that not everyone speaks as bluntly as the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. The Gourd Immortal in front of him is most likely a riddle man.

No, he's not even as good as the Riddler. He only gave the task but was unwilling to give any useful clues.

"I'll pay attention to it, but I can't guarantee what I will do specifically." Since the other party didn't say anything, I had to give an ambiguous answer.

Although doing so was meaningless and might even hinder her from finding the treasure in the lake, at least she would feel better if she said it out loud - she really didn't like the Riddler.

"Of course, everything is up to you." After the Gourd Fairy finished speaking, a strong wind seemed to blow around, and the misty fog dissipated in the entanglement. Finally, only Ying was left standing there, and she saw the statue of the Flute Fairy in front of her again.

It turned out that she had been in the temple all along and had never left.

"Ying!" Guiyan's voice came from behind.

Ying turned around and saw a soft body falling into her arms.

Gui Yan was trembling as she held Ying in her arms. Gu Ling stood behind her with a frown on her face, looking thoughtful. The people around who had also come to worship the statue looked at them with confusion on their faces because of Gui Yan's sudden action.

Ying was worried that their behavior would cause the townspeople to notice something was wrong, so she took Guiyan away from the temple and came to a quiet and deserted place behind the temple.

"Did you see Dixian just now?" Gu Ling asked first, "Did he say anything to you?"

"I not only saw the Flute Fairy, but also the Sword Fairy and the Gourd Fairy. I saw them all. They said that they would not let me remove the restrictions." After Ying finished speaking, she looked at Gui Yan. The other party was feeling shy because of her actions just now. There was a large blush on her snow-white face, and Ying even felt that her body temperature had become higher.

Ying patted Guiyan's shoulder to comfort him, and then continued:

"But the Gourd Fairy said that he could help me open a passage above the forbidden area, but the prerequisite is that we help them deal with the two demon-possessed fairies in the town."

Then, Ying described in detail the scene when she met Dixian, and then she asked:

"Didn't the others notice anything unusual while I was talking to them?"

This is the question that Ying is more concerned about. After saying goodbye to the Calabash Fairy, she is still worried. If she suddenly disappears and suddenly reappears, will it cause the people in this town to notice something is wrong and eventually reveal their true nature as monsters?

Although it seems now that Ying's worries were unnecessary, as the immortals guarding the town did not seem to intend to let such a thing happen, this made Ying even more curious about the situation outside at that time.

"Everyone in the town stopped doing what they were doing before. Everyone became motionless, just like those objects at dawn and dusk, until you appeared again, and then they started moving again." Gu Ling said, with a look of half pride and half worry on her face.

Ling Yue directly expressed Gu Ling's inner thoughts:

"This means there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the problem with this lake is indeed related to those immortals, and the direction of our investigation is correct.

The bad news is this, since they are so closely connected to this lake, it will be difficult for us to resolve the ban without their consent."

In this light, their current mission is clear.

"That is to say, if we want to find the treasure in the center of the lake, we need to first assist them and resolve the hidden dangers brought by the two possessed immortals."
