Above the gray fog

Lin Shan was worried and just looked at the scenery on both sides without a soul.

The trees on both sides of the mountain road were twisted and weird, with branches and leaves as sharp as blades. They bent their bodies, as if they would turn into evil spirits and attack them at any time.

In the bushes, there would always be shaking from time to time, and many green lights flickered in them, like fireflies, and like eyes flashing green light.

The two walked to a cliff, and there was no way ahead.

The new mountain road was on the right side of the cliff, next to the stone road artificially opened up on the cliff.

The rocks on the road were covered with moss, which covered the rocks like a thick layer of linen. If you slip, there is a risk of falling off the cliff.

Walking on the stone road on the edge of the cliff, a bottomless canyon was across the left side of the two people. There were bursts of whimpering wind in the canyon, mixed with the roar of wild beasts.

Looking down, there were two blurry red lights in the depths of the valley, like the scarlet eyes of a giant beast.

It was also the first time for Lin Shan to walk such a road as a mortal. He even felt a different kind of excitement along the way.

For him, this journey was similar to a dream, and the experience was important.

The two continued to climb and gradually entered the top of the mountain covered with clouds and mist.

The thick fog blurred their vision and the weird atmosphere became more obvious.

A temple appeared in the hazy fog.

Seeing this temple, the middle-aged woman clasped her hands together and chanted, "Buddha bless, I hope Xiaoli is in the temple and has not gone down the mountain."

They walked all the way and did not meet Xiaoli. If Xiaoli had gone down the mountain, she dared not imagine what had happened.

"Let's go in and ask." The middle-aged woman walked in front.

"Yes." Lin Shan followed behind.

The woman just mentioned Buddha, and he had not heard this name for a long time.

What exactly is this place?

Lin Shan's doubts became more and more serious, and he hoped that this temple could give an answer.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Knock, knock, knock!!"

There were two big red doors in front of him. Lin Shan leaned against the wall, and the middle-aged woman knocked hard.

After knocking for five minutes, there was a sound behind the temple door.

"Who is knocking?" A voice came from the temple.

"It's me. I'm Xiaoli's mother, Tushan Ranqi. Xiaoli came to burn incense this morning and hasn't returned home yet. May I ask if Xiaoli is staying in the temple?"

There was a rustling sound from inside the door.

Is it the Nine-tailed Fox?

"What should we do...if she knows that her daughter was killed by the Buddha..."

"Don't panic, we'll say...her daughter has gone down the mountain."

"Okay, that's the only way."

"Donor, your daughter went down the mountain as early as noon."

Strangely, the middle-aged woman didn't seem to hear what they said before.

She only heard the last voice saying that her daughter had gone down the mountain.

The middle-aged woman turned pale, and the worst happened.

"My daughter is inside, hidden by them." Lin Shan suddenly spoke.

The middle-aged woman was surprised, "How do you know?"

"They just said it, I heard it." Lin Shan replied lightly.

"It's you." The middle-aged woman believed Lin Shan very much.

In an instant, her temperament changed greatly, as if she had become a different person.

The middle-aged woman stared at the red door in front of her with a cold expression, and nine blue tails were looming behind her.

"No! She's 'reborn'!" A voice in the temple exclaimed.

"Bang!!" The two red doors were slapped away by the middle-aged woman.

"Where is Xiaoli?" Nine illusory tails floated behind the middle-aged woman, and the monks in the temple kept retreating, hesitating and unable to say anything.

The middle-aged woman turned into a residual shadow, shuttling between these monks. Wherever she passed, all the monks lay in a pool of blood, and even the bones on their bodies were left with sharp claw marks.

"Tu Shan Ran Qi, stop being presumptuous!"

A voice that Lin Shan was very familiar with came from the roof.

"No way..." Lin Shan muttered to himself, and looked up. Zhao Xiaoan, dressed in red, stood on the roof with a bright red lantern in his hand.

Looking at the lantern in Zhao Xiaoan's hand, Lin Shan felt very familiar. Wasn't this the red lantern he held when he first entered the Gray Mist?

"You asked me not to be presumptuous? They caught my daughter, and you still want me not to be presumptuous?" The middle-aged woman was furious and attacked the woman in red on the roof.

The two moved too fast, and Lin Shan could only hear the whistling wind. Although the two fought fiercely, the surrounding buildings were still intact.

Lin Shan seriously suspected that he had come to a martial arts world. Even if the Gray Mist Extraordinary was a Sequence 9, the surrounding buildings could not be intact.

After a few moves, it was hard to tell who was the winner. The woman in red said coldly, "That's not your daughter, and you don't have to occupy her. You should know what's going on outside now. We need her."

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath, "No, she is my daughter..."

The woman in red looked at Lin Shan with an unusual look, "How is he?"

"None of your business." The middle-aged woman said firmly.

The woman in red sighed, "I hope you can tell the difference between the Gray Mist and your little family."

The middle-aged woman sneered, "Didn't I tell the difference? What's the result? I'm really tired of doing it again and again... This time, I want to be selfish. Shenzhou will not perish even if we lose our family."

"You have forgotten the original intention of the Emperor to establish the Divine Court." The woman in red turned her back, "No matter how many times, I will tear those things apart."

"You have also forgotten the original intention of the Emperor to establish the Origin." The middle-aged woman shook her head slowly, "We are now in the Origin, not the Divine Court."

"The Emperor has decided to reverse Shenzhou and build a new world with the Origin as the starting point." The middle-aged woman said calmly, "By then, we will all perish, and your struggle now is meaningless."

"So, give Lin Li back to me." The middle-aged woman stared at the woman in red on the roof.

"Is that so? Do you still remember?" The woman in red stared at Lin Shan in a daze.

Kakakaka! ! !

The world in front of Lin Shan was suddenly full of cracks.

Shattered like a mirror.

"You're awake." A magnetic male voice came from his ears.

Lin Shan opened his eyes instantly.

The man sat by the bed, tall and straight, with deep eyes, messy gray hair, wearing old camouflage clothes, with a mysterious snake tattoo on his arm, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Is this dream of mine related to you?" Lin Shan looked calm. He sat up with great effort and leaned against the head of the bed.

"That's not a dream, it's your memory." The middle-aged man in old camouflage uniform smiled, "Let me introduce myself. I am a time traveler from Yiting. I came to pick up the book as agreed."

"The strange thing is that although this memory is yours, it... doesn't match you."

"I also followed the Yiting procedure. This memory was stored in Yiting before. Now it has just been unlocked. There are more later, but... you need to wait."

"Since it is my memory, can't you give it all to me?" Lin Shan took a deep breath. He knew that this dream would not be simple.

"No, it may not be your memory. You are just the receiver. We in Yiting have to follow the procedure." The middle-aged man rejected Lin Shan's proposal without thinking.
