Genshin Impact: A Martial Arts Master's Journey to Teyvat

Since Lingkong likes to commit suicide, Shen He no longer objects. Just leave life and death to fate.

The two arrived at a waterfall on the outskirts of Lisha, and inside the waterfall was a dark cave.

Pai Meng: "It's pitch black, I can't see anything."

Shen He cast a spell and released a ball of light to illuminate the way ahead for the two of them.

Lingkong: "Is this place really a fairy cave? I don't feel any fairy energy at all."

Shen He: "A true immortal cave will not allow mortals to see any clues."

As the two continued to walk inside, the painting style of the cave gradually became distorted, and all kinds of colorful and strange patterns appeared on the walls of the cave.

Lingkong: "What are these paintings about? It's a bit weird."

The two came to a big gate deep in the cave, and the colorful beads on top of the gate kept changing colors.

Shen He: "I heard from Master that this is the Phantom Demon Pearl. It seems that if you want to get in, you have to break the inner demon formation. This may be a test from True Lord Minghai Qixia."

Lingkong: "How? I took one look at the bead and felt like my soul was being sucked away."

Shen He: "Just keep staring at it."

Pai Meng: "Lingkong, be careful."

Lingkong: "Paimeng, don't you feel anything?"

Pai Meng: "I think the Magic Bead is too dazzling."

Lingkong: "...I will just learn about this Heart Demon Formation."

In a trance, Lingkong returned to his childhood, when his grandfather picked him up from the garbage dump, and he followed his grandfather to pick up garbage for a living.

Although grandpa's own life was difficult, he still left the best for Lingkong.

Shen He also returned to her childhood, when she was still a little girl.

Her father threw her into the devil's cave with his own hands: "You are doomed to fail anyway. If you stay, you will kill the people around you. It is better to use your life to exchange for Ayin's life!"

Shen He was thrown heavily into the devil's cave, and the pain made her cry uncontrollably.

Gradually she got tired of crying and wanted to escape, but she was powerless. Despair, helplessness and fear filled the little girl's body.

Shen He's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but the evil spirit emitted by the demon's skeleton in the cave gradually aroused her ferocity. She became like a wild beast and was in a stalemate with the evil spirit.

No longer afraid and helpless, she was like a lone wolf trapped in a desperate situation, ready to fight one last time.

But she was just a child and couldn't hold on for long. She was exhausted and could only sit on the ground. The evil spirit was tearing at her soul, and she would be torn into pieces sooner or later.

Little Lingkong is only 8 years old, but he is very sensible and takes the initiative to pick up garbage at the garbage dump.

From his perspective, a few wild dogs were tearing the little girl apart in the garbage dump.

He drove away the wild dogs with a stick, and seeing that the girl was a little dirty and had some scratches but nothing serious, he asked, "Little sister, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

The surrounding environment suddenly turned into a garbage dump. Shen He didn't have the energy to care about it. He said weakly: "My mother is dead, and my father doesn't want me anymore."

Lingkong: "Then come home with me. Just like grandpa picked me up, I picked you up. From now on, the three of us will depend on each other."

Shen He: "I don't have the strength to stand up."

Lingkong: "It's okay, I'll carry you. What's your name?"

Shen He: "My name is Taotao."

Ling Kong carried her back home, but saw his grandfather lying on the ground and the arrogant rich boy. Ling Kong said angrily: "You are the murderer who killed my grandfather, I will not let you go!"

The rich young man grabbed Ling Kong and Shen He by the neck and lifted them up: "You won't let me go? Do you know how much money I have and how powerful my family is in the capital? If you fight me, you will die! If I keep you alive, you will be a disaster. I might as well kill you now!"

In Shen He's eyes, the person in front of him became his father.

The father's face was twisted like a devil: "You're back? You're not dead? No wonder Ah Yin didn't come back to life, why aren't you dead yet? Why aren't you dead yet! Die! Die!"

Shen He cried, "If I die and my mother can come back to life, then let me die."

Lingkong shouted: "If you die, your mother will never come back. The dead cannot be resurrected. Don't die in vain."

Shen He's father's face was grim: "Nonsense, all of you die!"

The two's consciousness gradually became blurred, and just when Lingkong thought they would die here, they heard Pai Meng's voice.

When they returned to reality, they saw Paimeng's worried face.

Lingkong breathed a sigh of relief: "It was just a dream."

Pai Meng: "I was so scared, you two, I thought your souls were really sucked away."

Lingkong: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare." However, the nightmare was too realistic and Lingkong could hardly tell the difference between reality and illusion.

Pai Meng: "Lingkong, there are tears in the corners of your eyes. Are you crying?"

Lingkong: "I remembered the sad past, but it's all in the past."

Pai Meng looked at Shen He: "Wow, Shen He cried even harder than you, her tears were streaming down."

Shen He wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Lingkong: "Haha, it was really dangerous just now, luckily Paimeng rescued us."

Pai Meng: "Really? No matter how I called you just now, you didn't respond. I was really scared."

Shen He: "I have to thank Xiao Paimeng this time."

Pai Meng: "Hehe."

Shen He: "We actually didn't pass the Heart Demon Trial just now. We were awakened by Pai Meng in the middle, which was considered a forced termination of the trial."

Lingkong: "That means we have failed. We can't get in."

Shen He: "There is always a way." She reached out to touch the door of the cave, but her palm passed through the stone door.

Lingkong: "Huh? Could it be?"

Shen He: "It turns out that the door doesn't exist at all. What really traps us is our own heart."

Lingkong: "What are we waiting for? Let's go in."

The two of them walked through the stone gate. Behind the gate was a beautiful landscape with clear water and beautiful mountains. The sun was shining brightly, and cute little animals were looking at them curiously.

It seems like a real small world.

Lingkong was amazed: "Is the immortal cave this big?"

Shen He: "It's still an illusion. This is a large-scale illusion array. We must be careful. It may not be easy for us to find the Floating Life Stone."

Lingkong: "Then let's look around. The environment here is so beautiful. I think the air is also very good. There is the fragrance of grass and trees in the air. Look at this little deer, how cute it is. It is not afraid of people at all, just like a silly roe deer."

The little deer spitted at his face.

He dodged quickly and the spray didn't hit him.

Lingkong: "Such a cute little deer should be used to make soup."

"Finger of Magic."

He bent his fingers in the air and a stream of energy hit the deer, turning it into nothingness.

Lingkong: "This little deer can't stand a beating."

The two continued walking inside and came to a human-shaped statue. The statue was an old man with a white beard.

Shen He: "This is Minghai Qixia Zhenjun. His true form is a squid. I have tasted it and it tastes good."

Lingkong: "Try it?!"

Paimeng: "Tried it?! Paimeng wants to try it too."
