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

Pai Meng: “Traveling is not an easy thing. Not only do you have to face various monsters, but you also have to endure the harsh environment.”

Lingkong: "The conditions now are pretty good. Back then, I was trapped on a snowy mountain similar to Dragon's Back. I could only survive by eating snow and raw meat. I almost died there. The conditions now are nothing like what we have now. We have food, drink, and a place to live."

Pai Meng hugged him and said, "It's all over. With me here, you won't have to suffer like that again."

Lingkong: "It's okay. Suffering is the fertilizer for growth. Without the wind and rain, I wouldn't be who I am today."

It was too cold, and the tent couldn't keep out the cold. Paimeng just lay on Lingkong and fell asleep.

I hope Joseph can hold on in such a cold day. It doesn't matter if he can't hold on, as long as he writes the whole story clearly, it can be considered an explanation to the family members.

A night passed. Lingkong wanted to get up, but Paimeng was still sleeping soundly. It was still warm to sleep next to Lingkong.

Lingkong patted her and said, "Paimeng, get up, the sun is shining on your butt."

Pai Meng: "Uh uh oh..."

Lingkong: "It's time to eat."

Pai Meng: "Have you eaten? Then I should get up."

Lingkong put the pot on the stove and washed his face and brushed his teeth. Breakfast was egg and vegetable soup with salted fish cakes.

After eating, Lingkong continued on his way. A snowstorm started on the way, and the biting cold wind stained Lingkong's clothes with white frost.

Paimeng didn't dare to show her head and simply hid in Lingkong's clothes to sleep.

Lingkong: "Paimeng, how are we going?"

Paimeng: "Climb up this mountain, and you'll find the Firefly Cave in the belly of the mountain."

Lingkong came to a huge hole as Pai Meng said.

It can be seen that the space inside is very large. The sunlight shining into the cave can only illuminate a part of it.

He threw a fire starter into the air, and after confirming that there was no harmful gas in the cave, he took a torch and landed in the cave.

The cave is not completely dark. Ice-armored fireflies are like night lights, scattered throughout the cave.

The monsters lurking in the darkness sensed the presence of strangers and came out to pick up the takeaway.

After Ling Kong killed a group of monsters, the monsters around him knew that he was not easy to deal with and disappeared.

Lingkong: "Mr. Joseph, if you are here, please reply."

Lingkong's voice echoed in the empty cave.

"I'm really surprised that you could find this place." A hoarse voice sounded.

Lingkong walked in the direction of the sound, and in the light of the torch, he saw a hillbilly sitting on the ground.

He was wearing human clothing and had a yellow travel backpack next to him.

Lingkong: "Mr. Joseph?"

Pai Meng: "He is a Hill Chow?"

Joseph: "It seems that I have completely become a Hill Chow?"

Lingkong: "Mr. Joseph, can you tell me what's going on?"

Joseph suddenly started coughing violently.

Lingkong took out a water bag and gave it to him: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

Joseph took a sip of water and his expression eased. "Honorary Knight? Is that you?"

Lingkong: "It's me. Madam Weima asked me to come to the Snow Mountain to find you. Your son Joel is also waiting for his father to come home."

Joseph smiled bitterly: "How can I go back in this state?"

Lingkong: "Mr. Joseph, have you mutated?"

Joseph: "In a battle with the Hillocks, their blood dripped into my wound.

At first I just had a fever and a cough and thought I was just sick, but when my limbs and skin started to change, I knew I couldn't wait any longer.

Legend has it that there is a plant called Purifying Grass in the Starfire Cave that can transform the hillfolk into real humans, but I couldn't find it after searching the entire Starfire Cave.

My memory is gradually becoming blurred. Maybe one day, I will forget the past and completely become a Hilliard.

Honorable Knight, please kill me. I don't want Wilma and Joel to see me like this, so let my whereabouts remain a mystery forever."

Lingkong: "I didn't give up on you, you gave up first."

Joseph: "I am now in this state. There is no hope for me."

Pai Meng: "Lingkong, he's so pitiful, can you help him?"

Lingkong: "Well, although you have become a QQ person now, you still look pretty handsome. The bone mask looks pretty good on your face."

Joseph: "..."

Pai Meng: "Even if you say so, Joseph can't turn back into a human."

Lingkong: "Can the Hill Culverts really turn back into humans? Is there any precedent for this?"

Joseph: "I don't know, it might just be a legend."

Lingkong: "I have a method, but I'm not sure if it will work. I'll find someone on QQ to try it out first."

Lingkong found a Hilichurl camp and cleaned it out, leaving only one Hilichurl alive.

He first broke the Hillicruc man's limbs to prevent him from moving, then pinched the Hillicruc man's face with one hand and purified him with Buddhist power.

The breath of the Hillilchur man gradually became weaker, and finally there was no breath at all.

Lingkong threw the body on the ground: "He is dead."

Pai Meng: "It seems that the Hillilchur people cannot be purified. What should we do?"

Lingkong: "These hillbillies have been multiplying for who knows how many generations. The power of the abyss has long been ingrained into their bones, but Joseph is different. Maybe we can take a chance... I'll go ask Joseph first."

Lingkong told Joseph his idea: "I don't have any other solution. If you are willing to gamble your life..."

Joseph: "The worst that can happen is death. How bad can it be?"

Lingkong: "Okay, if you regret it, you can tell me anytime."

"Come on. I really hope to see Wilma and Joel for the last time." Joseph closed his eyes, ready to accept the judgment of fate.

The palm of her hand radiating Buddha light touched his forehead and said, "Mr. Joseph, I hope this is not a farewell, but a new life."

Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, Joseph felt the long-lost warmth and peace of mind.

After two minutes, Lingkong felt that the cold power in his body had faded away, so he stopped outputting Buddhist energy.

Lingkong: "Mr. Joseph, how do you feel?"

Joseph: “I think it’s okay.”

Pai Meng: "Strange, he didn't die, nor did he..."

Lingkong: "I understand. The power of the abyss in his body has dissipated, but the mutations in his body cannot be restored to normal immediately. Mr. Joseph, now you should say that he is a human with the appearance of a hillbilly."

Joseph was confused and didn't know why things turned out like this.

Joseph: "After I became a Hillman, my strength became very great, and I can easily crush the small stones here."

He picked up a stone and held it in his hand: "I no longer have such strength. But what am I now? Why do I want to die even more now?"

Lingkong: "Just get used to it. How about we go home first? You don't have the ability to survive here anymore."

Joseph looked aggrieved: "I came here because I didn't want my family to see me in this state. You're asking me to go back now."

Lingkong: "...Have you ever been to jail?"
