Above the gray fog

"I just saw a picture about the future. Come here to remind me." Lin Shan didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

"Future picture? Predicting destiny...what is it?" The crow's slightly hoarse voice came from the bottom of the book, which sounded a little vague.

"I saw a tall humanoid creature wearing white armor. He was massacring people in the academy. You seemed to have been killed by him." Lin Shan sat at the table and calmly described what he saw.

"I was killed? Really?" The crow suddenly became energetic, and the book flew to the ground. It held a large piece of meat of an unknown variety in its mouth and was slowly swallowing it.

It's not reading a book, it's just using the book to cover up the act of eating.

An unbelievable joy flashed in its eyes. It swallowed the last bit of meat with a big mouthful, flapped its wings and flew in front of Lin Shan. Its deep eyes stared straight at Lin Shan, "Who is that creature? Me Go to him immediately and let him make this exciting scene happen!”

"...Do you want to die?" Lin Shan stared at the crow, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"I'm thinking about it every second." The crow's wings drooped, and his tone was a little melancholy. "I have spent an entire era looking for a way to completely die, but in the end I failed. There is one thing. What I am sure of is that I can’t die.”

"You violated the rule that lifespan has a limit... Having an unlimited lifespan is a good thing, why do you want to die?" Lin Shan asked back.

"Rules can be broken. If you don't break them, you are too weak. If you want to die, you have lived too long. If there is no goal and pursuit, every second of living will be painful."" Crow sighed softly, "I don't want to die. You will die, so the future you see is false. "

"But I feel it's real." Lin Shan fell into deep thought. "Besides, I didn't make a mistake."

"I also hope it is real." The crow flew up again and patted Lin Shan's shoulder with its cold wings.

"Oh? If it's true, don't you plan to make preparations earlier?"

"Prepare? Why prepare when you are waiting for death." Crow said easily.

"What to do with those students?" Lin Shan frowned slightly.

"Students have nothing to do with me." There was a hint of indifference in Crow's voice.

Lin Shan reminded, "You are the principal."

"When I die, I will no longer be." Crow responded calmly.

"Do you just take it for granted that you have no responsibility?" Lin Shan stared at the crow. This academy gathers almost all the fresh blood in the world of China, and its importance is self-evident.

"Responsibility?? First, everything in the academy has no direct relationship with me. Second, I didn't get any actual benefits from Yuanting here. What Yuanting gave me has no appeal to me. Third, I became the The principal was an accident.”

"Are these three points enough? If not, I can list more reasons. Do you still think I should be responsible? At this stage of my life, I just need to satisfy myself. I am just playing the role of the principal now. , I can give up this role at any time, because I am not a real principal at all." The crow's words revealed a deep world-weariness and self-deprecation, and its wings drooped again, looking a little sluggish.

Lin Shan stared at the crow silently, knowing that the story behind this ancient creature was far more complicated than what he could see.

Lin Shan was ready to say something to break the sudden heavy atmosphere. However, he found that there seemed to be nothing to say, and he agreed with the crow in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan changed the subject, "You just said that you will not die, which means you have unlimited lifespan. But as far as I know, even the current master cannot have unlimited lifespan. You have been reborn until today." ”

"Quack, quack." Crow opened his mouth and laughed a few times, "I did not work again. Those who have worked hard until now are all heroes who sacrifice themselves for others. I am not one."

"I have truly crossed endless time and survived until now."

"As for your strength, you will naturally know it when you reach that stage."

"If you have nothing to do, just leave. Don't disturb my reading." Crow issued an eviction order.

Lin Shan didn't say anything and left the principal's office.

Pilot Teng Yun and fly towards Shengyang Sect.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Shan returned to Hubaofeng.

This mountain peak is more than 800 meters high. There are many empty courtyards on the top of the mountain. Lin Shan and his two disciples live in the palace in the core area.

When Lin Shan entered the palace, he found that both disciples were not there.

He returned to the bedroom, closed his eyes and refined the life fuel.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that there was any movement in the courtyard outside the palace.

"The Basics of Blazing Light taught by the instructor is so difficult." Yi Mo sighed.

Kong agreed, "Well, maybe we really don't have any talent. We can't learn it at all, and we haven't felt the brilliance of the blazing sun at all."

Yimo clenched her fist and retorted, "I don't think so. Since Shengyang Sect asked us to register, it means we must have talent. Maybe others were like this when they first came into contact. Practice slowly and try, and never give up. This is a great opportunity!”

"Yes." Kong nodded solemnly, "I will try my best."

Yi Mo looked at the half-open door of the main hall, "It seems that Elder Lin Shan hasn't come out since yesterday."

"I don't know. The elders told me not to disturb him. He will definitely come to us if something happens. We haven't slept all night, so let's go to bed." Sora said with a yawn.

"Kong, come to me." At this moment, Lin Shan's voice came to Kong's ears.

"What's wrong with you?" Yimo noticed the change in Sora's expression.

Kong was stunned for a while before saying, "The elder called me."

The air froze outside the threshold, and Yi Mo put his palm on Sora's back, pushing lightly but forcefully, "Go quickly, the elder is calling you, seize the opportunity!"

Taking a deep breath, Kong was like a warrior about to go into battle, trying to adjust his breathing before the battle, "I know, let me calm down."

In the bedroom, Lin Shan sat cross-legged, as still as a mountain.

Kong stood in front of the door anxiously, holding his trouser legs tightly with both hands, and his eyes constantly scanning the objects in the room to relieve stress.

The room is quite large, but there is only a bed, a table, and a window behind the bed. Other than that, there is nothing else in the room.

"Parchment, stop hiding, I found you." Lin Shan opened his eyes and stared at Sora.

Kong was stunned for a moment, unable to follow Lin Shan's train of thought at all, "Parchment? What is that?"

However, in the next moment, the atmosphere in the room changed drastically, a bottomless darkness spread over Sora's body, and his eyes became deep and dark.

"The great Lord Parchment is not so easy to discover. It was I who took the initiative to make you aware of my existence, and generously gave you an additional piece of information." Sora's voice became low and mysterious, each word They are all like echoes coming from the deep sea.
