Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Ying realized the significance of the rules at the bottom of the lake, but this time was different from capturing the demon monks in Linyuan City. They did not have the assistance of the Tiancang Sect now. It could even be said that all the creatures at the bottom of the lake were their potential enemies, and rash actions would only lead to danger.

Therefore, Ying decided to test the immortals in the town again.

During their last communication, she could sense that the Flute Immortal and the Sword Immortal were not welcoming of her arrival, and the Sword Immortal would even attack directly, while the Gourd Immortal seemed much calmer, and although he was a bit of a riddler, he seemed to be hinting at something to her.

Ying decided to use the Calabash Immortal as a breakthrough point.

"The town where the Calabash Immortal is located is the one I mentioned to you before."

After knowing Ying's plan, Gu Ling sighed helplessly:

"I can't go. You should be careful when you go there. The people in the town might still turn into monsters when they meet you."

Whenever she mentioned that town, Gu Ling would always feel depressed for a while. Ying didn’t quite understand the reason at first, but now she thought that Gu Ling must have developed feelings for the people in that town.

Although everything at the bottom of the lake is filled with a weird atmosphere, putting these issues aside, the lifestyle of the townspeople is no different from that of normal people, just like real humans with flesh and blood. And they are not emotionless people. As long as they get along with the townspeople for a long time, they will definitely develop feelings for them.

Presumably, the scene in which all the people in the town turned into monsters chasing her still left a great psychological trauma on Gu Ling.

After all, no matter how much she emphasized the fact that she was 308 years old, Gu Ling's experience in the world might be less than eight years.

"I understand." Ying nodded, then looked at Guiyan.

On the day when Brother Zhu exploded, Gui Yan's cultivation finally made significant progress. Now he is considered a beginner cultivator and can use some magic power to gain enough advantage when facing ordinary people.

However, the fact that Guiyan is physically weak has not changed. Even with Lingyue's protection, Ying still cannot let her take risks with him now that Lingyue's magic power is insufficient. So she gives her and Gu Ling another task - to keep an eye on Brother Zhu.

This "honest man" with a drastic change in temperament is the card played by the foreign immortal to break the ban on the bottom of the lake. In order to verify whether Ying's guess is correct, it is necessary to confirm it through the situation of this card. The importance of this matter may not be less than the communication with the gourd fairy.

After making these arrangements, Ying set off for the town where the Calabash Immortal was.

The town where the Calabash Immortal lived was located closest to the road that Ying and her friends came from, which was to the southeast of the current town. The two towns were located on both sides of the lake bottom, and it took Ying nearly half a day to get there.

Mainly because the restriction in the center of the lake was inaccessible, Ying had to take a detour. Otherwise, with the almost non-existent resistance at the bottom of the lake, Ying's speed would definitely be much faster.

She also saw other towns along the way. These towns were very similar and were all based on fishing. Ying also found the opportunity to see the fish hidden at the bottom of the lake.

The fish all gathered at the center of the lake bottom, near the forbidden area, where there was a body of water that was clearly separated from the surrounding lake water, just like the water in the well.

If the surrounding lake water is really replaced by air, and the transparent liquid in the center of the lake bottom is regarded as real water, then everything here is no different from the so-called normal situation on land.

"Sure enough, this lake is trying its best to imitate 'normal'." Ying said to himself as he bypassed the restriction and was about to reach the town of Huluxian, and at the same time he became more convinced of his guess.

When they arrived at the town, it was already night time and many townspeople were walking towards the temple. Ying walked cautiously towards the nearest townsperson and greeted him.

"Who are you?" The man indeed showed a puzzled expression and frowned as he looked at Ying.

Ying had no choice but to use the method she learned from Gu Ling and said:

"It's me! I'm Ying, how could you forget even me?"

This is using the rules of the lake bottom to forge an identity for oneself, but when she said it, Ying felt like a swindler.

Ying had indeed heard of a scam that relied on repeating "It's me, don't you remember me?"

Ying shook her head slightly, throwing this unnecessary thought out of her mind, and then watched the expression of the person in front of her gradually change from confusion to clarity, and finally said as if she had suddenly realized something:

"Oh! It's you! Why are you here today? Is the temple so empty now?" The man said with a reproachful look, "I heard that the head was exhausted some time ago, why are you still slacking off here? If you don't go back, I won't care about our friendship, and I will definitely report you then."

Hearing this, it seemed that Ying was given the identity of working in the temple in this town. It just so happened that she was going to the temple too. She didn't know whether this was a coincidence or the gourd fairy had changed something in secret.

Ying pretended to apologize, then hurried to the temple. She wanted to worship the statue and have a conversation with the Calabash Fairy, but before she could take any action, several other people who were working in the temple came up to her.

"Ying! Why are you still lazing around here? Go and help. The main hall is short of manpower. Go quickly."

"As for the cleaning of the east wing, it should be her turn today."

"Not only that, she's the one who's responsible for cooking today, but we haven't seen her cook anything yet. I'm almost starving."

"besides……"

Ying stood there blankly, listening to the people around her talking about things that "should have been done by her" one after another, and her face gradually became ugly.

She originally thought that she had been given the status of a temple staff member, which would help her activities in the temple, but now it seems that this status has become a kind of obstacle, preventing her from even doing ordinary worship of the statues.

"I, I'll go worship the statue first, and then do these things later." Ying asked tentatively, but the answers were the same as what she thought.

"No! You're still thinking about being lazy, right? I've got you covered. If you don't finish your work today, don't even think about getting close to the statue!"

The corners of Ying's mouth twitched, and she even had the idea of ​​using force to forcibly approach the statue, but considering that doing so might lead to more troublesome consequences, she had to suppress this idea.

She followed what they said and first entertained the townspeople who came to worship the statue for the people in the main hall. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare the food and then cleaned the east wing...

After finishing all these things, it was already late at night without realizing it. Ying was already exhausted, but she still forced herself to walk to the main hall. Unexpectedly, it was closed.

The person who found Ying before saw her and frowned again:

"It's so late, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

“I came to worship the idol.”

"Nonsense! Why didn't you come earlier? We have already closed the door. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, the man left without looking back, as if Ying was a disaster star. He even refused to say a few more words to Ying.

At this point, Ying was certain that the lake was indeed preventing her from meeting the Calabash Immortal.

"The more scared the enemy is, the more I am doing the right thing."

A smile appeared on Ying's tired face, and she decided to break in tonight!
