"Ancient times, have we traveled back in time?"
"My God, what's in the novel is actually true!"
Lear spoke incredulously in Chinese, absorbing the knowledge being poured into his mind, and became completely excited.
Lin Feng, who was in front of him, shrugged indifferently, letting the other person start shouting and yelling.
As they passed through the town and entered the woods to the north, they soon came across a stone tablet standing among the weeds.
"Lanruo Temple".
"Yu Yiyao said that she saw a target in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, and the target was chasing someone... Yu is here too. Things can't be that coincidental, so is there some secret hidden in this world?"
As Lin Feng pondered, the dark figure in the corner of his eye suddenly moved.
He walked through groves of trees, traversed the gloomy darkness ahead for a moment, disappeared for a few seconds, and then returned to Lin Feng's sight.
Are you scared?
The figure in darkness walked calmly and stood before Lin Feng.
"Of course I'm scared." Lin Feng chuckled dryly and glanced at Li Er, who was still receiving information in his mind.
“You shouldn’t be afraid of me.” The figure in darkness walked over and stood to Lin Feng’s side, observing Lear’s ever-changing expression, and said calmly, “I will not harm you.”
Um...you're right, you really wouldn't hurt me...
Lin Feng was speechless.
Just then, the figure in darkness suddenly spoke: "You should be afraid of the people of this world."
Hmm? Lin Feng's expression turned inexplicably serious; being praised by this person was not a good thing.
"The people here are neither human nor ghost; they understand power better than you do." The figure in darkness smiled.
In the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, the gods are gone. Humans don't respect the gods, ghosts don't respect the gods, and demons want to replace the gods. They will stop at nothing to gain power, and they will stop at nothing to kill anyone who stands in their way, even destroying the world for the sake of destroying the world.
"..." Lin Feng's heart sank, and everything in his body seemed to freeze at this moment, forgetting to function.
Seeing Lin Feng's appearance, the man of darkness finally laughed, a faint smile curving his black face, like an ancient abyss slowly opening in his eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Before long, Lear regained consciousness, shook his head, and spoke fluent Chinese.
"It's nothing..." Lin Feng turned around and looked at Li Er: "How is it? What are your thoughts?"
If all else fails, once we find the jade, we'll run away immediately.
"Hahaha, I've made up my mind. I know some technology. When I get back, I'll exchange the hidden gold and silver for money and food. Maybe I can gain some status in this world and start over." Lear let out a long sigh of relief. "I haven't been back for so many years. My family probably thinks I'm dead... Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. You've saved me today, so I'll start over!"
Lin Feng patted Lear on the shoulder and handed the blade in his hand: "Go, but the road ahead is one you can't walk."
"Thanks!"
Lear took the blade, took a deep breath, and clasped his hands together.
Watching Lear leave, Lin Feng glanced at the dark figure beside him, then turned and strode towards Lanruo Temple deep in the woods.
He couldn't stop anything... but with Lear's research and technology, dealing with ordinary monsters shouldn't be too difficult. As for the powerful ones, there are people like Yan Chixia.
Although this world is full of evil people, it is not lacking in people who hold onto hope.
Soon, he walked the mountain path alone and arrived at the front of Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple was as dark as he had imagined. In broad daylight, the swaying branches of the trees resembled menacing monsters, pushing open the temple gates in front of him.
As he approached, the gusts of cold wind that blew up carried not only strange laughter, but also a dark, unshakable space lying silently at their feet.
Gaa gaa gaa...
Several unintelligible laughs came from all around. Lin Feng paused for a moment, opened his spiritual eye, and looked over in the distance.
"Mummy"
The corpses, withered and desiccated, were naked and looked like dried meat that had been dried for half a year, withered, grayish and black.
"The movies are being conservative. There could be hundreds of ghosts here, let alone three or four a day..." Lin Feng glanced around and saw countless resentful spirits scattered throughout the two-entrance temple. If an ordinary ghost were here, it would have cultivated some terrifying abilities.
Where is Yan Chixia?
Lin Feng did want to meet this person, but there seemed to be no signs of habitation around, or... he had come at the wrong time.
“Yan Chixia is gone, but the tree demon is. The big tree behind the temple... she should know where the jade is, and at least know if any powerful figures have suddenly appeared in this area.”
Entering the temple, Lin Feng passed through the damaged main hall and arrived at the back courtyard of the temple.
The houses on both sides of the courtyard were all dilapidated, with several broken beams blocking the entrances. Looking inside, the tables and chairs had been violently destroyed.
In the middle of the courtyard stands an ancient tree, about as thick as seven or eight people can hug. All the leaves on the tree have fallen off, and there are more than a dozen urns for ashes placed under the tree.
Upon closer inspection, there are some small red ribbons with names written on them on the ancient tree.
Lin Feng scanned the area, his spiritual eye slowly probing the interior of the ancient tree, and vaguely discovered a peculiar area, like an independent space similar to the Ghost Realm.
After quietly observing, Lin Feng walked out of the courtyard and came to one side of the temple, where there were still some relatively intact buildings with some white silk hanging on them.
Lin Feng randomly chose a house to stay in and mentally reviewed what he had seen in the dimension of his heart.
Hela's soul is not in the dimension of the heart; only her body exists there. But more importantly... the three hostile participants all exist in physical form after entering the dimension of the heart, unlike him who wanders around the dream world in a spiritual form.
Clearly, this is their biggest advantage.
Especially for those who have wandered in the dream world for a long time, the connection with their physical body has long been blurred, and as they delve deeper into the dream world, this connection may even disappear silently.
Secondly, there are some problems with continuing to awaken Hela from the perspective of an observer. Just as he said, Hela may have already lost her way in the unknown. Forcibly awakening her may ultimately result in a desperate counterattack.
Finally, we need to find their target.
In general, it means finding the goal, finding Hela, breaking free from the dream, or finding the physical body to break free from the dimension of the mind.
But if Shizo and Tama discover something interesting, it might make things simpler.
Finally... as long as things can be kept under control, once the mission is over, the Dark Ones can't possibly follow him to the Nightmare Space, right?
Lin Feng's heart stirred slightly, and then he thought of Yuan Qixuan and the other person. He didn't know about the former, but Yu Yiyao must have obtained something from the dark forces. In that case, no one would be able to control her next meeting.
Furthermore, Yu Yiyao mentioned the Shinto school, and it's hard to say they wouldn't use some special methods to control or worship gods like Cthulhu...
He vaguely sensed that the person in the darkness was laughing, so he closed his eyes, too lazy to look any further or think about it anymore.
Let's rest for a while...
As the sun set, the atmosphere in this place grew much colder. The space hidden inside the temple tree gradually opened, releasing many wandering ghosts who quietly slipped along the mountain path towards the places where people gathered.
Whoosh... A cold wind blew by, and the room where Lin Feng was located was enveloped in a chill. A beautiful young woman in white leaned against the window and looked inside through the hole in the window.
