Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

"This is the first time I have seen such a statue in my life..." Wendy murmured.

Perhaps she was the God of Freedom, so looking at the chains and shackles on the statue made Wendy feel uncomfortable in every possible way.

It's like a free bird trapped in a cage.

At this time, people entered the hall one after another.

The main hall was large enough to accommodate the entire village. After entering, people knelt in the hall one after another, pretending to be serious and pious.

"Want to go in?" Wendy looked at Ziling.

Ziling raised his head and looked at the statue. He looked as if he was not looking at the statue but a familiar old friend. His brows were furrowed and there was heartache in his eyes.

"Ziling..." Wendy called again.

Ziling came back to her senses: "Let's go then, but do we have to kneel too?"

Ziling looked at Wendy with some embarrassment, her unwillingness to kneel clearly written on her face.

"Of course not kneeling."

Although Wangyou is dead, the statue of the god still exists, and as a god in Mondstadt, he should not kneel to other gods.

"But..." Ziling tugged on Wendy's sleeve.

Wendy lowered her head and looked at everyone in the hall. At this moment, they all turned to look at the two of them, looking at them with doubts, as if it was such an incredible thing that they did not kneel.

Wendy and Ziling ignored their looks and walked into the hall to look up at the statue.

"For gods, as long as the believers have gods in their hearts, it doesn't matter whether they kneel or not." Wendy said coldly, pulling Ziling, who had been feeling unwell, to look at the statue of the gods.

I wonder if the chill that Wendy is showing at this moment is because of this crazy god? These are the same people who are kneeling on the ground in self-deception.

"He is different from your god! Your god is kind or gentle, but what about him? He is just a violent guy!" Gu Shan frowned and looked at them, his eyes pleading, "Stop making trouble, for the sake of the village , have a good night."

"You lied! He is not a violent god!" Ziling said suddenly.

Wendy looked at Ziling in shock. This little guy rarely raised his voice even if he was deceived to the point of being mad. What happened all of a sudden?

And isn’t the question everyone is debating whether to kneel or not?

"He had no intention of war with demons, he just wanted to be a free and easy immortal! He was living a happy life here alone! It was your ancestors who suddenly visited and asked for his protection. It was your greed that forced him to hurt people. It was you who were clearly betrayed. That's right! He's already dead, and you still tie him up with chains! While scolding him, saying that he turned into an evil spirit and infested the villagers! Now you're worshiping him hypocritically, hoping that he can forget everything! You... are simply disgusting! Extremely disgusting!”

Ziling kept talking as if she had lost control, telling a completely different version of the story from the people in the village.

Everyone looked at him in shock, as if they were looking at a monster.

Then, he fell to the ground as if he had lost all strength. Wendy immediately supported him and said, "Don't panic."

After saying that, he gathered divine power in his hand and injected it from his shoulder, and asked softly and gently: "What's wrong with you?"

"All kinds of discomfort... I feel so uncomfortable, I feel like I can't breathe..." Ziling said softly to Wendy, and then raised her head with difficulty to look at Wendy, "I... what did I just say?"

"I didn't say anything, don't be afraid, I'm here." Wendy comforted him.

At this time, the surrounding villagers reacted first. Someone immediately stood up and pointed at Ziling and shouted: "He is possessed by Wangyou's evil spirit!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers immediately stayed away from them, as if they were some kind of virus, and everyone looked at the two of them with trepidation.

Wendy had no time to care about them. He was only focused on ensuring that Ziling was safe and sound.

At this time, Gushan walked up and looked at Wendy and Ziling: "You...are you really related to Wangyou?"

Wendy turned her head and glanced at him, with a faint wind element imprinted in her emerald green eyes. A sense of oppression from the god himself was naturally revealed, leaving Gushan speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Gu Shan remained silent, Wendy turned her head and continued to look at Zi Ling's condition, the divine power in her hand still continuing to operate.

"Relax, breathe slowly, don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Because Wendy turned her head, the oppressive feeling disappeared immediately, but the feeling just now made Gushan dare not continue to move forward.

However, just when Wendy thought that by suppressing the village chief, she could suppress the villagers, someone suddenly shouted:

"They are possessed by evil spirits! Otherwise, how could they speak for the evil god!"

"Could it be that that person is Wangyou!"

"What, if Wangyou is here, he must be here to take revenge on us! Kill them!"

Seeing that the villagers were in high spirits, Gushan was embarrassed for a moment, and asked Wendy again: "Are you Wangyou? Or do you have something to do with Wangyou?"

"No, I, a Mondstadt poet, and he, a believer of the Rock King, have anything to do with Wangyou?" Wendy said helplessly.

In this situation, it would be troublesome if a conflict broke out, so he would do his best to verbally appease him if he could.

Unexpectedly, no one listened to his words. Everyone regarded them as sophistry and clamored to take their lives. They took all kinds of farm tools as weapons and swarmed forward.

"Oops..." Wendy muttered.

Now was not the time to start a fight. Wendy immediately helped Zi Ling up, and when everyone was waving farm tools to hit them, he immediately disappeared.

The next second, Wendy supported Ziling and ran out of the hall.

"This power doesn't belong to ordinary people at first glance...it's clearly related to Wangyou! Chase him quickly!" Everyone shouted and chased after him.

Just when they ran into the village alley, Wendy was about to spread her wings and rush out of this damn barrier, when she suddenly saw a man waving to them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qu Yun.

"Come here! I'll take you to hide." Qu Yun said softly to the two of them.

With the idea that her identity could be concealed for a while, Wendy immediately supported Ziling and walked towards him.

Led by Qu Yun, they hid in the basement of his house.

After settling the two of them, Qu Yun went out to deal with the crazy villagers.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. As far as the current situation was concerned, he didn't have to blow it off.

"Really, I really want a gust of wind to blow you all to the Golden Apple Islands to climb the mountains." Wendy whispered.

However, he would not really do this. Everything was still under control, and there was no need to use divine power to punish a bunch of ignorant humans on the land of another country.

"Wendy, what did I just say?" Ziling slowly recovered and looked up at Wendy.

"You can't remember?" Wendy wondered.

Ziling frowned and thought, then slowly shook her head: "I just feel that since entering the hall, I have been abnormal. My consciousness seems to have been pulled into an illusory space. What I saw , have become different..."

"What did you see?" Wendy asked.

"I saw Wangyou..."

For Ziling, the only word that could describe that scene was despair.

He saw Wangyou kneeling in front of his own statue, his eyes filled with tears of despair, staring blankly at the statue.

Behind him are the people holding long swords.

At this time, Wangyou's faint, despairing voice suddenly sounded in Ziling's ears: "I was free and happy, but I thought you would suffer hardships in this world, and in the end, it would be all in vain..."

The next moment, he saw the commoner piercing the long sword into Wangyou's body...

After that, Ziling's spirit seemed to be broken, and she had no idea what she said or did.

"Wendy, I...how did I see this?" Ziling looked at Wendy nervously.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. This didn't look like earth veins. If it was caused by earth veins, everyone would see it.

From this point of view, it can only be the resonance of some kind of power, but Ziling seems to be a mortal body, unless he is Wangyou's dependent.

But generally, the followers of gods also possess great power, and Ziling should not be like this.

"You...are not his son with a human, are you?" Wendy said with some uncertainty.

After all, blood ties are also something that can resonate.

"Hahahaha, no, Wangyou doesn't have any partner. If you have to talk about a relative, it is also a man."

Qu Yun walked down while smiling, and when he looked at them, he made a serious Liyue salute.
