Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The body was kept in a room behind the temple.

This is the most important place in the entire town. It is where the statue of the immortal is located and it is also the temple where the townspeople come to worship every day.

Logically speaking, this place should be something like a holy place in the hearts of the townspeople. In the eyes of people in the past, such a place should avoid the ominous existence of corpses.

Although there are customs or concepts that regard death as a sacred thing, Ying did not feel this atmosphere in this town. Considering that the foreign immortal once said that he killed Zhu Ge in order to break the restrictions here, Ying speculated that there might be some secret behind the temple.

There were many people in the temple, and even for Ying and her friends, it was not easy to sneak into the small house at the back without attracting other people's attention, especially now that it was bright outside and there was no shadow to provide shelter for Ying.

Therefore, Ling Yue had no choice but to use magic. She tapped Ying's body twice, and Ying's body suddenly became illusory and blurry. If you don't look carefully, you might just mistake her for a ripple that appeared accidentally at the bottom of the water.

"In order to save some mana," Ling Yue said, "I will only cast the spell on you. This spell can last for half an hour, which should be enough for you to sneak in and check the body."

Ying nodded, but then looked at Gu Ling and asked:

"Since you want to save your mana, why don't you let Gu Ling cast the spell for me?"

Ying thought that Gu Ling should also have the cultivation level of Earthly Immortal Realm, otherwise it would be impossible for her to be active under the lake for such a long time.

Gu Ling blushed immediately when she heard this, and Ling Yue also smiled at her:

"It's simple. She didn't learn this spell."

"There are countless spells in the world. No one can learn all of them. And Gu Ling..."

Having said that, Ling Yue paused, looked at the other party with a smile, and decided to let her continue talking so that she wouldn't feel that she had caused her to lose face.

Gu Ling looked hesitant, but continued:

"Ahem, although I am 308 years old, I spent the first 300 years in the tree. So, I didn't learn any magic at that time. I only started learning in the past eight years after I came down. It's normal that I don't know some magic!"

At the end of the conversation, Gu Ling turned her head away, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.

Ying just smiled, understanding that the times Gu Ling glared at her before, she might have wanted to use her spiritual sense to speak directly into her mind like Ling Yue did, but she had not yet mastered this ability, so in the end it looked like she was glaring at Ying.

After understanding this, Ying did not waste any time. She quickly went around to the back of the temple and saw a small house.

The house looked no different from other buildings in the town, except that the windows seemed to be completely closed, with only some glass embedded in the walls, making it impossible to climb in through the windows.

Ying had no choice but to look inside through the window and saw two people standing in the room, who seemed to be the autopsy officer and his assistant.

From last night till now, the two seemed to have been busy. Even without getting close, Ying could feel the assistant's tiredness at this moment. He couldn't even stand up straight and often had to use the surrounding objects to stay standing.

Sometimes he would put his hands on the table, sometimes he would lean against the wall. Such behavior naturally caused the coroner to reprimand him, but the assistant responded with a lazy attitude.

Compared with the autopsy officer, this assistant lacks not only experience, but also patience, physical strength, and respect for others.

Ying found the right opportunity and, relying on Lingyue's magical power to cover her, rushed into the room in one breath.

The creaking sound of the door and the light shining into the house from outside naturally attracted the attention of the two people in the house, but they just took a quick look and did not find any trace of anyone - Ying had already hidden behind a cabinet.

"It's the wind." The assistant muttered a few words, and actually seemed very disappointed. Perhaps he was hoping that someone could make some trouble and free him from this boring and tiring job.

"It's Feng, you better pay attention." The autopsy officer naturally understood the young assistant's thoughts and spoke to him in a bad mood.

On the table they were working on was Zhu Ge's body. At this time, the processing of the body had come to an end. The people in the town requested that the body be kept intact during burial, so these people did not cut open the body. Except for the wound on his chest, Zhu Ge still basically retained his previous appearance.

The autopsy officer had already recorded all the necessary information, and his assistant was cleaning the body. While wiping Brother Zhu's body, he said:

"Everyone says that Zhao Dongniang is cruel, and she is really cruel. There is not a single good spot on Old Zhu's body. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Master, look at this ear, it's about to fall off."

"Nosy!" The autopsy officer reprimanded the assistant, "Just do your job well and don't worry about other things. Someone will make the decision when the time comes."

"I know, you've finally forgotten about it because you're so busy, so let's just chat. If it were me, I would definitely not marry a tigress like this in the future."

"Humph, you are just a kid, you are lazy and eat all day long. It would be great if a girl would like you. Why are you so picky?"

The master and the disciple were busy exposing each other's shortcomings. Ying had no interest in their conversation. She kept adjusting her position and used the shadow of the cabinet to get in front of the table.

There happened to be a fire in the room, and the light wasn't very strong, but it fell just right on the table, creating a large shadow.

Ying crawled under the table and only poked her head out to check on Brother Zhu.

There are some things that people who have been together for a long time may not be able to discover, but people who have been apart for a while can immediately notice, such as a person's height, weight, and body shape, or the body of Brother Zhu in front of them.

Ying remembered that when she saw the corpse last night, he had just died. Although he looked no different from being alive, his skin still looked a little pale due to excessive blood loss.

As for now, after a few hours, Zhu Ge's body should have begun to show some obvious changes, gradually showing corpse odor and corpse spots, but Ying took a glance and found that his body was still unchanged.

No, it even looked redder than when he saw it just now.

When Ying was wondering if he had done something wrong, the disciple who was wiping the corpse suddenly widened his eyes.

"Master, you, come and take a look." He shouted to the autopsy officer and took several steps back.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?" The autopsy officer frowned, thinking that his apprentice had done something wrong again.

But when he came up to her, he was also stunned.

"This..." The autopsy officer blinked hard, "Why is this body so clean?"

He and his assistant looked at each other, and they approached the body cautiously and turned it over.

"Hiss—the corpse spots are gone."

The two of them took several steps back at the same time. Although the fire was burning in the house, it was much warmer than outside, almost like spring, but they felt a chill in their hearts.

But the strange thing obviously didn't intend to let them go. The assistant glanced at the body lying down again and widened his eyes again:

"Heart! Heart! His heart!"

The autopsy officer's heart trembled, and he quickly looked at the chest of the corpse, which was the main factor that led to the other party's death.

But there was nothing there. The fatal wound that was supposed to be on the opponent's chest had disappeared!

"Ugh!"

The "corpse" uttered a low groan, and he actually sat up slowly, looking at the autopsy officer and his assistant in front of him with his unclear eyes.

"Where am I...?"
