Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

The weather here is still cloudy with some sunshine, and it's so dull that I can't see the sun.

Shen Xingxian lay with Tiankong under the comfortable sun for a long time. This moment was the happiest time for Tiankong.

The little boy stared at the sun in the sky and asked, "Shen Xingxian, do you feel the existence of time here?"

Shen Xingxian: "We can feel the existence of time because we are surrounded by changes, but I really can't feel the changes here."

Shen Xingxian wanted to ask: "Is there no moon here?"

Sky didn't want to answer so he changed the subject: "Let's play hopscotch! I'll go get the chalk, you go wait for me in that yard."

Shen Xingxian had no choice but to agree: "Okay!"

Shen Xingxian came to the yard designated by Tiankong. The house here was still the original tiled house with many mosses growing on the tiles. The house was very dark and the lights were still the old-fashioned yellow light bulbs with some spider webs on them. The roof was covered with yellow thatch, and it felt like there were really spiders hiding inside.

Shen Xingxian walked to their family's ancestral temple, where there were many burnt incense sticks. The red couplets next to them were their family's generation names, which read "The country is righteous and the sky is prosperous, the officials are clear and the will is at peace." The "tian" in "tiankong" was his generation name.

Shen Xingxian immediately noticed the lighter on the incense table, so he took it away. He didn't care about the things in the system at all, because he couldn't survive anyway, so why bother about so many things?

Then Sky came over with a box of chalk.

Sky said: "Give me a call when you are free to come and play, so that I can prepare these things in advance."

Shen Xingxian smiled and said, "I know, I know."

Shen Xingxian held a piece of chalk and Tiankong held a pink piece of chalk and began their creation.

For each square they drew, they wrote down a word.

Tian Kong wrote "family" first, and Shen Xingxian wrote "friends".

Next it was Shen Xingxian's turn to use his political studies foundation, and he wrote down all 24 characters of the socialist core values.

Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony

Freedom, equality, justice, rule of law

Patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness

Shen Xingxian: "My little Lord Sky, are you satisfied? Like this?"

Sky saw that he had written so many words and thought of some of them too: country, happiness, wealth, joy, health, food, and movies.

Tiankong added: "There are too many positive ones, let's write a few negative ones."

Shen Xingxian said: "Then use the word difficult a few more times."

Sky: "Okay."

After a while, all the squares were drawn, and they wrote the word "future" in the last square.

Shen Xingxian danced with Tiankong several times and taught Tiankong the meaning of the 24-character phrase.

Whenever Tiankong encountered the word "difficulty", Shen Xingxian would encourage Tiankong: "Little Tiankong, jump over it."

Sky jumped over with joy.

All the words in it made Sky feel extremely happy, because finally someone was willing to play with him. The moment he jumped, he felt that all the words came out from the ground, grew golden wings, and circled around him.

He thought it would be nice if he could reach the future now, but the road to the future was still very long, so long that he might not be able to reach it in the future. When he arrived at the "future", he felt extremely depressed, so he told Shen Xingxian: "I want to rest, Shen Xingxian."

Shen Xingxian accompanied him and lay down on the dry ground next to him to rest.

Shen Xingxian crossed his foot over the other one and said, "Those are the core values ​​of socialism. You should remember them all."

Sky: "Well, those words are beautiful. I will memorize them all."

Shen Xingxian was a little hungry, so he asked Tiankong: "Now that we're done with the games, can you take me to eat the delicious food you mentioned?"

Sky said, “Yeah.”

Tiankong took Shen Xingxian through the entire village and climbed a mountain. There was a fruit forest at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Xingxian regretted: Why didn't he go around the village and go directly to the orchard.

Tiankong saw Shen Xingxian in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Xingxian: "I am so happy (sad) (overwhelmed)."

Sky: "That's good."

Shen Xingxian followed Tiankong into the orchard, where there were many grasshoppers.

Sky introduced: "See that tree? I was hiding under that tree."

Shen Xingxian: "Thank you, I really regret not coming here to look for it."

Sky said angrily, "Humph, go and regret this to death."

Tiankong was very angry when he thought that Shen Xingxian didn't come to see him.

Shen Xingxian: "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Tiankong picked an apple for Shen Xingxian, and Shen Xingxian began to eat it.

Shen Xingxian ate the sky and said: "Originally this was my home, but my parents didn't come back, so this orchard is not mine anymore."

Shen Xingxian: "My relatives took it away."

Sky said sadly, “Yeah.”

Shen Xingxian comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, brother will roast grasshoppers for you to eat."

Then Shen Xingxian pulled out some burning matches and took out a lighter. He dug a hole in the ground and lit the burning matches. In an instant, the surroundings became warm.

Tiankong noticed the lighter in Shen Xingxian's hand and asked, "Where did you get the lighter?"

"I took it from your ancestral temple."

"Never happen again"

Shen Xingxian said indifferently: "You NPCs are quite realistic."

Sky asked in doubt: "What does NPC mean?"

Shen Xingxian said: "NPCs are people who serve the plot, meaning the characters in the game."

Sky: "I'm not an NPC, I'm a real person."

"oh oh!"

Really nice NPC

This was the first time Shen Xingxian met someone in the system.

Shen Xingxian strung the caught grasshoppers onto a stick, one for him and one for the sky.

This was Shen Xingxian's first solid meal since he arrived here, and he had to savor it carefully. A delicious meal by the warm campfire, life was wonderful! This safe moment was the best time to ask questions.

Shen Xingxian wanted to know why he turned into a wax figure: "Why couldn't you move when I came?"

Sky: "You are like this as soon as you come. I don't know why?"

Shen Xingxian: "Then why do those villagers listen to you so much?"

Sky: “It’s a secret.”

Shen Xingxian didn't dare to ask any further, because if he did, his life might be in danger.

Shen Xingxian saw that Tiankong often wore an earphone on his ear, so he asked, "What is that little thing on your ear?"

"Hearing aids. I can't hear well."

Shen Xingxian asked again: "Did your parents buy it for you?"

Tiankong felt a little lost and angry: "My parents haven't come back for a long time."

Shen Xingxian didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he made an excuse: "This grasshopper is roasted, crispy and delicious on the outside, tender and fragrant on the inside, super wow."

Sky took a bite and really enjoyed it: "Mm, fragrant."

He has a hearing disability, no parents, only a grandmother at home, and lives in a mountain village. He also has no good relatives. This situation is miserable.

When Shen Xingxian was eating grasshoppers, his ears were particularly sensitive and he heard the sound of a suona. The sound gradually became clearer and Shen Xingxian asked, "What are they doing?"

After Tiankong finished eating the string of grasshoppers, he took Shen Xingxian to a hillside, where he could clearly see people performing a funeral ceremony. Four Taoists led the way in front, the people in the middle were carrying the coffin, and a long team followed behind. They were wearing mourning clothes, lowered their heads, and carried flags. It was unknown what they were thinking. Under the rendering of the funeral music, it all seemed so real, so real that it made him feel like the reality of the underworld.

Sky spoke up: "My grandma passed away."

Shen Xingxian remained silent.

Sky choked up and said, "The dead will not exist in the system. I hope this is the day when grandma was still alive. The world was dim on the day she passed away."

Shen Xingxian stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Tiankong. He could feel Tiankong shivering uncontrollably.

"Little Sky, life and death are irreversible. Now that you have a brother, the end of your natural life is just the beginning of a new life in the form of a soul. Go home with your brother and be happy. Where is your grandma? If you miss her, she will come to your dream. If she misses you, she will also come to your dream. She wants to see you happy."

Seeing that Tiankong did not respond, Shen Xingxian said again: "Brother can occupy the servant, you see."

Shen Xingxian picked up a few stones and shook them in his hand, then threw them on the ground and said casually: "Does this one look like a heart? This means your grandma loves you very much and doesn't want you to be sad. Look at these stones, do they look like fingerprints? This means grandma absolutely agrees that you and I can go home together. When you come to our house, you can sleep with me and go to school with me. My university will not be far from home. I will take you to school every day. If you don't want to study, your brother will take you to eat delicious food and have fun. Okay?"

Tiankong burst into tears immediately: "I hate my parents, why haven't they come back yet, so that grandma won't die."

Shen Xingxian hugged Tiankong and comforted him for a long time, staying beside him quietly. Tiankong cried for a while and then stopped.

Sky: "Thank you, Shen Xingxian, go now! Go back to reality quickly. The sooner you go back, the sooner you can find me. You have to go back quickly."

Shen Xingxian: "Aren't you here now? Why should I hurry back?"

Sky didn’t want to explain: “If you don’t go back, I will catch you and kill you.”

Shen Xingxian wanted to save his life: "Okay, okay, then where should I go to find you when I go back?"

Sky: "This is the mountain village in Jinshan Province, remember to come find me."

Shen Xingxian made a gesture as if swearing to God: "Yes, I will."

Sky: "That's good."

Shen Xingxian asked again: "Then how do I get out of here?"

The sky randomly pointed him in a direction far away from the village.

Tiankong stood up and prepared to leave. As he left, he reminded Shen Xingxian: "If you see a pavilion here, remember not to go in. It will be dangerous."

"Ah."

This was told to him by a little boy who looked like a ghost. Although he didn't know why, he didn't want his friend to encounter danger.

Shen Xingxian is the type of person who wants to go to more dangerous places. He will not follow the direction pointed by the sky. After the sky told Shen Xingxian that he was going home, Shen Xingxian began to look for the pavilion. He stood at the foot of a high mountain and looked around, but there was no pavilion as the sky mentioned.

He thought that maybe Tiankong wanted him to find the non-existent pavilion, so Shen Xingxian returned to the mountain village and went to Tiankong's home to look for him, but he was not there.

The position of the sun did not change. The sunlight shone on the old ancestral hall just as it did when he came, as if he could see the disappeared and lost time.

This place was originally barren, with no sky, and the group of zombie villagers were gone, making it even more desolate.

Shen Xingxian thought that he should think on the bright side. If Tiankong was not in the village, would he return to his real home? That's why he asked Shen Xingxian to go back to find him. Shen Xingxian thought about it and realized that this idea was indeed valid.

So he suddenly had an idea. Last time he left the system by falling, so this time, he could also leave here by falling. In this way, he might be able to find the sky in the real Jinshan Village. The more Shen Xingxian thought about it, the happier he became. He quickly found a very high place to jump down. What kind of golden stone rope! What kind of pavilion! These are not as important as returning to reality.

Shen Xingxian ran head-on into the wind that was blocking it, and silently chanted in his heart: 3! 2! 1! Jump!

At this time, Hao Jun returned to the core of the fog system, wanting to see what Shen Xingxian was doing. So he saw Shen Xingxian's thrilling moment.

Haojun quickly said to the system: "Set up a river! Set up a river!!"

System Xiaoquinone: "Cannot set it."

Haojun clenched his palms and gritted his teeth, "I never thought he would actually jump off the building."

The system Xiaoquinone slowly reminded: "This is not jumping off a building, it's jumping off a cliff."

Haojun asked nervously, "What's the difference between this and death?"

System Xiaoquinone: "The place where he died is different."

Haojun: ...

Haojun didn't know what to do, he could only leave it to fate!

Shen Xingxian jumped down and landed on a small cliff. He climbed on the cliff and sang in his fluent Southwestern Mandarin: "I am like a bat that can't fly high. If I lose my grip, I will fall to the cliff."

He felt so free in his heart that he sang a song: "Ten Looms"

"As long as God doesn't kill me, there will be blessings in the future. I want to travel through time, I want to travel through time."

Haojun looked at the surveillance camera in silence for a long time, and finally said helplessly with his face covered: "Smart"

Just as Haojun was cursing, a girl came in and saw the scene in the surveillance video where Shen Xingxian was singing and swinging on the cliff, and said, "Brother, this brother doesn't seem very smart."

Haojun echoed, "Yingluo, this is more than just not very smart! I don't know why your brother Lingdeng likes him?"

System Xiaoquinone: "Will he be knocked stupid by the little spirit lamp?"

Haojun thought again and again: "It's possible."

Shen Xingxian: My singing skills have improved a lot

Then the cliff gave way and he stopped thinking.

Haojun didn't want to watch anymore and left the control center: "Let him scream, and notify me if he dies."

The small cliff that Shen Xingxian was holding on to suddenly broke, and he fell into the gentle abyss, hanging on a tree.

Shen Xingxian was very angry, why couldn't he return to reality through gravity acceleration, and then he climbed down from the tree. The fog below covered the already dim sun, but Shen Xingxian could vaguely see a small pavilion in the distance. He especially wanted to go inside and take a look. This became his next goal, but Shen Xingxian really wanted to complain: Shouldn't the pavilion be set up on the top of the highest mountain? Why is it hanging on this cliff!!!

Shen Xingxian just came down from the air elevator and now he has to climb up again by himself. How sad!
