Above the gray fog

Chapter 1072 Fountain of Life, Unknown Guest (2-in-1)

After the Renzong matter was settled, Lin Shan took Jiuqi and Xiaoli back to the shop at the foot of the mountain.

Although Renzong is a good person, if he is allowed to stay there like his ancestors and be cared for carefully every day, he will seem uncomfortable.

In the shop at the foot of the mountain, it is more leisurely and comfortable.

Compared with careful care and a rich material life, what Lin Shan wants more is freedom.

Lin Shan's life has returned to its previous calm. He receives two or three guests every day, and each guest can bring him two days of life on average.

Although these lifespans are very short, if a normal person has been working in a secular shop, it is equivalent to obtaining eternal life in disguise.

Two days later.

The day agreed with Huang Liu came again.

Lin Shan brought Jiuqi and Xiaoli to the Holy Peak.

This time, Huang Liu arrived early, and tea was already prepared at the table. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

This time, Huang Liu didn't drive away the people around him. He just sat in the corner and drank tea carefully like an ordinary tea guest.

As soon as Lin Shan walked into the tea pavilion on the holy peak, Huang Liu, who was sitting in the corner, immediately stood up and waved to him.

Huang Liu is not in the form of a Shiba Inu at this moment, but a young man wearing a black robe, whose appearance has hardly changed from a thousand years ago.

"Lin Shan, come here, come here."

The three of them staggered away from the crowd and walked to sit next to Huang Liu.

Huang Liu first looked at Xiao Li, "Who is this?"

Lin Shan mostly lived alone, and because of his physical inconvenience, he always let Jiu Qi accompany him. Huang Liu was still very concerned about the sudden presence of an extra person around him.

He knew that Jiuqi on the left was the Fox King, but the aura was a bit weird, involving other people's privacy. Huang Liu never thought of asking, the girl on the right was from the human race, could she be the human king?

"Huang Li, a descendant of ordinary people." Lin Shan introduced.

"What do you mean by being a descendant of an ordinary clan? You are too perfunctory." Huang Liu said unhappily, "Given our relationship, you are still hiding from me."

Lin Shan smiled and shook his head. There was no cover-up. Huang Li was indeed an ordinary descendant of the human race.

"Hello, Huang Xianzun, my name is Huang Li. I have heard your legend, and I am fortunate enough to follow Lin Shan pioneer to meet you." Huang Li stood up and bowed to salute.

"Okay, okay, Lin Shan's friends are my friends. You don't have to do this with me, just do whatever you feel comfortable with." Huang Liu waved his hand, and at the same time he was a little curious, "How old are you, little girl? Do you know me? You were probably not born when I was active in Gemini."

"I am 61 years old this year." Huang Li explained, "I know that Huang Xianzun quelled the civil strife in Hueco Mundo alone, rebuilt the Night Clan with his own efforts, and established the Night Sect. The current strength of the Night Sect is not inferior to that of the human race. In addition, With the support of Shang Hueco Mundo, the comprehensive strength will definitely be ranked among the top three among the Twins. In the last war with the Federation, many people in the Twins opposed it. It was only because of Huang Xianzun's suppression in the rear that the returning warriors would not be homeless. Return."

"You're only 61 years old. You're really a little girl. What you know is all recent, and your analysis is too official. You should have heard it from others." Huang Liu smiled, and he looked at Huang Li Just like a centenarian looking at a ten-year-old child, there is no problem in calling Huang Li a 61-year-old girl.

Huang Li's face turned slightly red, "Well, I heard what others said."

Seeing Huang Li's look, Huang Liu seemed to suddenly remember something, and laughed and said, "I remember when Lin Shan and I met, we were both young men in our twenties."

Seeing Huang Liu and Xiao Li chatting about themselves, Lin Shan also laughed, and at the same time felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

At that time, he was still a fledgling, and the gray foggy land was like hell to him, making it difficult to move even an inch.

"Okay, let's get down to business. You are so busy every day, so asking me to come this time shouldn't be as simple as drinking tea, right?" Lin Shan looked at Huang Liu.

"Of course not, I brought you a treasure this time." Huang Liu dug out a box made of gold from the storage space, "This is a good thing."

Seeing Huang Liu's mysterious look, Lin Shan was also a little curious and urged, "What good thing? Open it and take a look."

"Ahem." Huang Liu coughed lightly and pushed the golden box in front of Lin Shan. "It's for you. You can open it yourself."

"For me?" Lin Shan stared at the pattern on the golden box, which looked like a big tree. He even felt that the shape of the big tree looked familiar.

"I won't use the things in here." Huang Liu said nonchalantly.

"Well..." Lin Shan stretched out his dry and wrinkled palm and gently touched the lines on the box.

There was no sound when the lid was opened, and a transparent glass bottle lay quietly on the brocade cloth in the box.

In the glass bottle, there is a thin stream of transparent liquid.

"What is this?" Lin Shan picked up the glass bottle and looked at it carefully.

Jiuqi also poked his head curiously, "It looks like it's not a magic potion."

"This thing is called the Fountain of Life. Every drop you drink can extend your life by one year regardless of the rules. There are three drops in this bottle."

Lin Shan looked strange. If this thing was useful, he would have replaced it with 180 drops.

In the final analysis, what he lacks is not life span. The reason why he is like this is because there is some unknown curse attached to him in the name of decline and calamity.

Lin Shan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This thing is of no use to me, and all the treasures of heaven and earth that increase life span are of no use to me. You don't have to worry about it anymore. It should be very difficult to get these three drops of life spring water, right? Keep it for yourself for emergencies. In addition to increasing life, the spring of life can also quickly heal injuries."

Lin Shan put the transparent glass bottle back into the gold box and pushed it in front of Huang Liu.

"It's useless?" Huang Liu was stunned for a moment, "How could it be useless? The person I replaced said that the Fountain of Life can increase life span regardless of the rules. It is useful even for gods. Why don't you drink a drop first? Will it work if you try it?”

Huang Liu uncorked the glass bottle, and a drop of water slowly fell out of the bottle and floated in the air.

"No, there's no need to try. I don't lack lifespan." Lin Shan still shook his head, "What's wrapped around me now is like a curse. If it's not removed, adding more lifespan will be useless."

"I checked for you after I went back last time. A special calamity like yours has never been recorded." Huang Liu looked a little ugly. "I will contact my sister when I go back to help you ask."

"No need, I already have a clue, maybe it can be done." Lin Shan took a sip of the already cold tea before picking up the table.

"Really?" Huang Liu's eyes flashed with joy.

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded.

"Okay, if you have a way, just contact me directly if you need any help. When you recover, we can go see the outside world together when we have time." The stone fell in his heart, Huang Liu spoke much more relaxedly, Lin Shan said There is a way, and there is a high probability that there really is a way.

"Is your sister in the circle of people now?" Lin Shan asked.

"Yes, in the human circle, the human circle was blocked by an inexplicable force. She may not be able to come back in a short time, but she can still maintain normal contact. Nothing happened to the human circle. My sister said that this The power of the blockade is to protect the human circle. You can leave, but you cannot enter.”

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded slightly. No wonder they could come out, but the giants in the Sun Temple couldn't get in.

"What happened to the extra star-sized building you mentioned last time around the Twins?" Lin Shan asked Huang Liu about the Sun Temple.

Speaking of this matter, Huang Liu's face turned ugly again.

"Those giants come from other galaxies. Their purpose here is to rule the twin galaxies. Fortunately, there are gods currently negotiating with them."

"But this is no solution at all. Those giants have already ruled more than a dozen surrounding galaxies. There are more than 100 strong men above the qualitative transformation alone. Without the gods taking action, only these strong men can defeat the twins. Galaxies are extremely ugly.”

"So what are your plans?" Lin Shan asked.

Regarding the twins being ruled by giants, Lin Shan had no particular preference. He followed the giants all the way. He knew very well that the giants were not a race that killed innocent people indiscriminately. Their purpose was to gather all the old races and bring them together. Twist into a rope to deal with possible crises that may follow.

If Gemini is gathered by a giant, the disadvantages may not be as many as the advantages. The only disadvantage is that they need to rely on others and no longer have the freedom they had before.

In terms of the inheritance of a race, if it succumbs to other races, it will definitely lose part of its own characteristics.

In this case, the giants would definitely not dare to take the dictatorial route. Doing so would only cause a huge counterattack. It is theoretically impossible for one race to rule other races in the entire star field. No matter how strong this race is, it can Only the surface rules.

If you really want to establish a dictatorship in a star field, unless the creatures in that star field are all creatures of the same race.

If you want to integrate different races under one system, you must give them a certain degree of freedom and autonomy, similar to an alliance, with the giant race assuming the identity of the leader.

No matter what force it is, the number of races is definitely the most basic unit. In a force, the fewer the number of races, the more stable and peaceful it will be internally. Even if there is chaos, it is called civil strife. Anyway, they are all members of the same clan, and whoever rules can rule.

This is also the reason why Lin Shan has always been unfavorable to those forces that have too large a ruling scope. With so many races, they are all one force on the surface, but in fact they all have their own intentions, and it is impossible to achieve true unification.

"We discussed it here, and the result is that we should use the gods as bargaining chips to resist." Huang Liu looked around and said softly.

"Hmm..." Lin Shan understood what he meant and nodded slightly. Even if the giants have many extraordinary beings and many gods, they cannot ignore any other gods.

If you can't kill the gods, you must always be wary of the gods' counterattacks. Using the gods as bargaining chips is indeed feasible.

It's like a very weak country, but they possess nuclear weapons to prevent powerful countries from invading easily.

In the civil war between the giants, the giant gods will not take action, but when it comes to wars between different races, the gods on the Gemini side will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. No one wants to have multiple bosses for no reason to protect the integrity of their own race inheritance. This is also what the gods of all races need to do.

"Well, that's all we can do now, but we are always the weaker side. If this continues, sooner or later we will have flaws." When talking about this, Huang Liu also had a sad look on his face.

"Have you ever thought that if the Twins merged into the Giant's system, the benefits might outweigh the disadvantages." Lin Shan took the new tea handed over by Jiuqi, took a sip and said.

"After thinking about it, this is also the retreat that has been discussed." Huang Liu drank the tea handed over by Xiao Li in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "We are now fighting for better conditions. At least, we must ensure that all ethnic groups in the Twins integrity.”

"That's right." Huang Liu seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at Lin Shan and said seriously, "I am looking for you this time. In addition to giving you the fountain of life, there is another very important thing."

"What's going on?" Lin Shan saw Huang Liu's serious expression and realized something was wrong.

"As I said last time, Gemini has been in chaos recently. There have been many strange cows, ghosts, gods, and snakes. Not to mention other places, there have been many weird things happening in Gemini. The two most famous ones are the shop at the foot of the mountain and the god at the top of the mountain. The tree, the shop is quite peaceful, it just helps people realize their wishes at a great cost. There have been several qualitative transformation sacrifices at the sacred tree. You should pay attention to this shop when you are at the foot of the mountain. If you encounter it, maybe you can try to remove it from you. It’s a disaster, but you must choose your chips carefully.”

"In addition to these two famous strange places, various dangers have spread all over the Three Sacred Mountains. Now even the mortal kingdoms below the mountains often encounter strange things."

Speaking of this, Huang Liu paused for a while and then said:

"What I just mentioned are all inherent dangers. I don't know why these things suddenly appeared in Gemini. Not only the Three Sacred Mountains, but also the seven mountains and nine places are not spared. You must be careful."

Taking the new tea from Xiao Li again, Huang Liu continued:

"In addition, there are external dangers, which are also the most dangerous. Remember the crack I talked about last time? Most of the powerful people in the seven mountains and nine places are dealing with that crack. Something happened while guarding the crack, and there were a large number of people who did not belong to the crack. The monsters in the gray fog universe burst out of the cracks and are scattered in every corner of the Twins. Most of these monsters have the power to destroy a country of mortal spirits, and even have the power to destroy extraordinary sects. You must be careful about these."

"If you have nothing important to do, you can come to Hueco Mundo."

Huang Liu solemnly extended the invitation. Perhaps, after saying so much, this last sentence was his main purpose.

Lin Shan shook his head, "I appreciate your kindness. With Jiuqi protecting me and my Sequence 5 artifact, my own safety is no problem."

Lin Shan didn't believe that the danger he encountered was breaking the three taboos.

In addition to breaking the three prohibitions, other levels of ninety-seven can be dealt with.

After parting ways with Huang Liu, Lin Shan returned to the foot of the mountain to continue running the shop.

After his hard work, the store has almost reached the upgrade standard. Lin Shan wants to know what additional functions the upgraded store will have.

Store level: Level 1 (999973/1000000)

Every time a transaction is completed, the store's experience will increase by 1-3. When Lin Shan took over, the store's experience was already on the verge of upgrading.

On this day, another special customer came to the store.

It stood in front of Lin Shan, but Lin Shan couldn't see him.

Not only Lin Shan, but even Jiu Qi couldn't see it under normal circumstances.

This is an unknown high-dimensional life.
