Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The next day, Ying and her friends got up early, said goodbye to the old people in the village, and then the three of them continued on their journey.

At their current speed, it would only take half a day to reach Fengyang City.

There were no troubles along the way, which enabled them to reach Fengyang City much faster than expected. The sun in the sky had just tilted a little towards the west when the city wall of Fengyang City appeared in their sight.

But what they saw next surprised them:

Just like Linyuan City, here, monks patrolling outside the city can be seen everywhere. They are wearing Taoist robes from different sects, but they are all acting together. A patrol team has as many as ten people.

Every patrolling monk had a confident, even conceited look on his face. They walked arrogantly on the land outside the city, ignoring the people living outside the city.

Yes, there are people living outside Fengyang City, and their number is large, even occupying a very large area.

Ying and her friends came to a hill outside the city. The first thing they saw was the tall city walls and the magnificent buildings in the city, but when they lowered their eyes, they saw countless people gathered outside the city.

Generally speaking, this kind of situation can only be seen when fleeing, but even when fleeing, the number of people cannot reach such a terrifying level.

In addition to the crowd, there are some simple houses outside the city. Some are built with wooden boards, and some are simply rough walls built with mud without even roofs. However, Ying did not see any houses built with bricks and stones.

There is a river less than ten meters wide between these buildings and Fengyang City. There are no bridges or other buildings on the river, but Ying does not think that this river can stop those who want to enter the city.

However, those people gathered outside the city did not look like refugees. Although they were dressed simply, most of them were very clean. In addition, they had rosy complexions, and they looked like they were living a good life.

In particular, there were some cheerful children running through the crowd from time to time. They flexibly moved among the crowd and those simple buildings, and it was obvious that they had lived here for quite a long time.

Could it be that they live at the foot of the city wall?

Thinking of the desolate scene and sturdy buildings in the village she passed by yesterday, compared with the crowded but dilapidated houses here now, Ying really didn't think this was a good place.

"How strange." Ying couldn't help but speak out her thoughts, but Guiyan shook his head and said:

"After all, the city is safer. I think everyone in the village would want to go to a safer place if possible."

Gu Ling also said:

"There are so many people here, which should attract more monsters. However, the number of patrolling monks, the magic arrays arranged around, and the aura of suppressing evil in the city all make this place very safe. At least it is much safer than the village where we rested last night. Maybe even Linyuan City is not as safe as here."

Is there a peaceful life on one side and a comfortable life on the other?

Gui Yan and Gu Ling's words made Ying realize that she did not look at the problem from these people's perspective.

In this world, she is a person with the ability to protect herself. Whether facing monsters or possessed immortals, she has the ability to fight against them. However, many people here do not have such ability. In such a dangerous world, danger often directly brings death, or even something more terrible than death.

In this case, comfort or not doesn't seem to be that important.

Ying nodded, and walked down the hill with Guiyan and Gu Ling, heading towards the gathering place. Just at this time, another group of people passed by them.

There was a man, a woman and a little boy, obviously a family of three.

The couple had relieved smiles on their faces, but the boy's face was a little pale. He looked at the approaching city wall and kept asking, "Are we there yet? Is it safe here?" The couple did not answer immediately, but there was a gleam in their eyes.

Soon they saw Ying and the other two. The couple looked obviously nervous, but soon the husband smiled with a relieved look and greeted Ying and the others.

"Are you guys coming from somewhere else too? This road is not easy to walk on. It took us more than half a month to get here. Now it's good. Once we reach the river, we don't have to worry anymore."

"Aren't you planning to go into the city?" Ying asked. The husband hadn't mentioned anything about going into the city in his words just now. It seemed that his purpose of coming to Fengyang City was just to settle down by the river.

Unexpectedly, Ying's question made this man nervous again. He looked at Ying again, and after a moment hesitantly asked:

"Are you three cultivators from some big sect? Otherwise, it's not easy for ordinary people to enter Fengyang City. Look at that riverside, those people have been waiting there to enter the city for a long time, but until now, there are more and more people waiting to enter the city, but I haven't heard of many people who finally enter the city."

"We came late, so it's great that we can find a good place by the river. Going into the city...it all depends on luck. But even if it's by the river, it's much better than our village."

"After all, the riverside is the place closest to hope."

After saying this, the husband bowed to Ying and the others in an unskilled manner, then left with his family.

Watching the family leave, Gu Ling shrugged and said:

"It seems that Fengyang City has a lot of difficulties. Fortunately, according to him, it will be easy for cultivators from large sects to enter the city. Not only do we have cultivators from Tianya Island here, we also have the strength of immortals, so it shouldn't be too difficult to enter the city."

But unexpectedly, when they arrived at the city gate, Gu Ling was severely slapped in the face.

"You are not allowed to enter the city!"

The monk guarding the city gate waved his hand and directly rejected Ying and the others' request to enter the city.

“Why?!” Gu Ling couldn’t believe it. She showed her strength in the Earthly Immortal Realm as soon as she arrived, but she didn’t expect that even so she couldn’t enter the city. Could it be that there were so many immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm in Fengyang City that it couldn’t accommodate all of them?

"It has nothing to do with whether you are an immortal or not. In fact, the fact that you are an immortal makes us afraid to let you in." The monk guarding the city showed an embarrassment. "After all, there are not many normal immortals now. We can neither let you enter the city nor let you leave like this."

"Then what are you going to do? Are you planning to lock me up again?" Gu Ling raised her little head high and looked at the cultivator. Her innocent look did not give people any sense of oppression at all. However, the cultivators at the city gate already knew her strength. After hearing what Gu Ling said, they all vigilantly activated their magic power.

"Don't be anxious, fellow Taoist."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded, and a tall man jumped down from the sky. It seemed that when Gu Ling and the others came here, someone had notified the Earth Immortal Realm masters in the city. The cultivator in front of them exuded a powerful aura, which even made Ying feel a sense of oppression.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the monk bowed to Ying and the other two and said:

"I am Dong Ye from Wanxian Pavilion, and I am in charge of matters related to entering the city."

"Okay, here comes a manager." Gu Ling raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me why you don't let us into the city."

"I know that you have rules in Fengyang City and that you can't just enter the city casually, but I'm a fairy from the Earthly Fairyland, and I'm not here to harm you. Rather, I came here to help you, and you can't be ungrateful. And this——"

Gu Ling pointed at Guiyan behind her and said:

"She has the soul of an immortal from Tianya Island inside her. We came to the city to get in touch with the people from Tianya Island and help the immortal rebuild his body."

"Tianya Island?!" Dong Ye's expression became more serious when he heard the name of Tianya Island, but his tone softened. "If it is related to Tianya Island, then this matter becomes more complicated. I can't make a decision on my own. I have to discuss it with the monks from Tianya Island who work with me. Please wait a moment."

Gu Ling heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, knowing that things had taken a turn for the better. She blinked at Ying and then said to Dong Ye:

"Okay! Then hurry up. I've been walking for such a long time and I'm tired."

"No need!" Just as she was speaking, a cold female voice came from the city wall, and then a female monk in white appeared out of thin air in front of Ying and the others. She glanced at Gui Yan and said:

"Everyone said that she has the soul of a cultivator from Tianya Island in her body. I wonder which senior or junior sister it is?"

Although the female monk spoke politely, her eyes were extremely sharp. Gu Ling, who was just proud, lost her momentum in an instant.

It was Guiyan who stood up and said:

"It's Master Lingyue. She is called Fairy Lingyue."

Ying and the others thought that they could enter the city by saying Ling Yue's name, but they didn't expect that the female monk showed anger and fear on her face after hearing Ling Yue's name. Then she suddenly made a move, and a large golden net flew towards Ying and the others, while she shouted:

"Capture these three people!"
