Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

The sky is blue with white clouds, the breeze is blowing on the green grass, the trees are fresh and lush, and flocks of birds are circling above the woods, singing happily.

Xu Ranqing wandered in this quiet mausoleum, undisturbed by anyone. She lay on the lawn and enjoyed the noise of the summer cicadas.

Leaving here to find her mother is what she has always wanted to do. She used to try to run to a place far away from her own grave, but when she finally reached a tree, she fainted and fell down. What appeared before her eyes were the gray treetops, and finally all was black. When she woke up, she had already arrived next to her own grave.

Xu Ranqing stood up and looked at the tree that was blocking her. It was exactly the same as the other trees. She didn't know what kind of magic it had that blocked her. Xu Ranqing yelled at the tree, "Grass, is this your home? Tree, is this your home?"

Xu Xuerui taught her to be a well-educated person, so Xu Ranqing always cursed in Mandarin.

Cao never understood why he suffered the same misfortune and could only endure this injustice silently.

Clouds rise and fall, day turns to night, day after day, and loneliness arises.

Xu Ranqing walked lightly towards the bird that was looking for food on the ground, and then yelled. This was the bad thing she often did to relieve her loneliness. Now that she was dead, she was not bound by the law.

Birds are living creatures, so they won't be scared by her.

There are birds on the ground and in the trees, but none of them will be scared away by Xu Ranqing.

The shadow of the tree was shaking, but she had no shadow. Xu Ranqing was thinking under the tree why her mother had not come to see her for so many years. In fact, as long as her mother came to see her once and let her know that her mother was doing well, she would plan to reincarnate.

But her mother never came to see her once.

The dusk burned in the sky, seeming to destroy the whole world.

The loneliness of the night came and surrounded Xu Ranqing again.

Wait one more day, wait one more day, and my mother will be here. Without me, she will definitely feel relaxed and will be able to pursue everything she wants.

In winter, when there were no birds for Xu Ranqing to scare, she would go into the trees to play.

There is a man who often comes here. Every time he comes, he only says one thing to the tombstone: "Next time, I won't come."

Xu Ranqing was also curious. Why did this person say one thing and mean another? He clearly said he would not come, but he would come every winter. She walked over to the man and said, "He can't hear, he can't hear. Why do you come in winter and summer too?"

The man couldn't hear Xu Ranqing's voice and left directly.

Xu Ranqing has been here for a long time and always comes up with many activities to relieve her loneliness. She will use a wooden stick as a pen in an open space to record every person who comes here. Although she does not know each of their names, she can record their characteristics. It is said that seeing the words is like seeing the person in person.

But now the heavy snow has buried all the words on the ground, and Xu Ranqing can only crawl into the snow to see the words clearly.

She found the date and checked if anyone would come today, but to her disappointment, no one came.

Snowflakes were floating in the pale sky. Xu Ranqing held up his hands to catch the snow, but it was in vain. The snowflakes passed through his hands and slowly slid down.

Xu Ranqing was used to it. She sat back on her own tombstone and looked straight at the world covered with flying snow. The snow froze the world bit by bit, waiting for the spring to thaw it. She didn't need to thaw because the changes in nature had no effect on her.

She was just a soul sandwiched between life and death, unable to receive the benefits of life, nor able to accept the treatment of death. She watched everything in boredom, from birth to death, from withering to old age.

Maybe this was God's punishment for her, punishing her to die alone and leaving her mother to suffer in this world.

After her death, she understood many things: mother is the most important. Nothing else is as important as mother, including grades and people she hates.

Now she has escaped from the suffering of that world, but her mother is still in there. She wants to see her mother one last time so that she can leave with peace of mind.

The person in charge of reincarnation came to her many times, but she refused every time.

The person who was reincarnated told her at the beginning that once the soul of a reincarnated person disperses, he or she will never be able to reincarnate again. She has not disappeared for such a long time, so Xu Ranqing thought that group of people were scammers who used her to improve their performance. Every time they came, Xu Ranqing hid.

A long time passed like this.

The reincarnated person came over again and said, "If you don't reincarnate, we won't be able to report to the higher-ups, little girl."

Xu Ranqing hid in a tree. She knew very well that this reincarnated person wanted to morally blackmail her, so she ignored them. As soon as the instruments in their hands made a sound, she would change direction and hide.

Those people couldn't do anything to her.

Xu Ranqing spent one long winter after another like this. Although he felt lonely, he was supported by hope in his heart. Compared with jumping off a building, these were nothing.

In confusion, Xu Ranqing came to summer.

Xu Ranqing looked at the worshippers she had recorded on the ground, rubbed her hands and began her plan. First, she had to make faces when they cried. Every time she followed her emotions and started crying, so this time she wanted to try a different approach.

If a living person saw her, then could she be resurrected? The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

If there is no joy in being a human, then there should be joy in being a ghost.

She flew to the man's tombstone and waited for his family to pay their respects.

They cried, "Son! We are here to see you. Are you doing well down there? We brought a lot of fruits and the milk you like to drink."

Xu Ranqing was too depressed to make faces to scare them. She reached for the apple on the altar and said, "Brother, let me lend you an apple..."

"I am already a ghost. I don't need food to survive."

She withdrew her hand from the apple.

After the family left, Xu Ranqing fell into a long period of loneliness again.

She sat back on her own tombstone and thought: There are so many tombstones here, why is she the only ghost? Shouldn't everyone gather together to tell how they died? Then happily go to collect the money and paper burned by the people above, count the money happily, buy things in the underworld that cannot be bought on the ground, and live a fairy-like life.

How come all this is different from what she thought? Maybe she hasn't been reincarnated yet! These good days can only be enjoyed when she is reincarnated. Don't worry, mom will come to see him tomorrow, and she can go to reincarnate. If she doesn't come tomorrow, she will come the day after tomorrow.

Suddenly, she turned around and found an old lady looking at her with a smile. She was so scared that she fell off the tombstone.

The old lady asked, "Girl, who are you waiting for here? You feel lonely without anyone around. Why don't you come and see our project?"

This is really, really scary. No, she is dead.

She raised her head, and the old lady was still staring at her. Xu Ranqing almost fainted: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

The old lady said calmly: "I'm handing out flyers."

Xu Ranqing didn't faint. She was dead anyway, so it didn't matter if she died again. Now she had nothing to do, so she could patiently listen to her explanation: "Grandma, I want to know about the projects on the flyer."

The old lady said calmly: "This is a reincarnation training institution. As long as you come to our institution for training, I guarantee that you will rank among the top in the reincarnation test."

This made Xu Ranqing horrified and thought, are people so cruel in their reincarnation now?

"Auntie, I'm waiting here for my mother to come and see me. I want to wait a little longer. I don't want to be reincarnated. Thank you." Xu Ranqing refused.

The old lady confirmed: "So you just don't want to be reincarnated, right?"

"Ah."

After confirming that Xu Ranqing would not be reincarnated, the old lady recommended another project to her: "How about taking the entrance exam for the spirit world?"

Xu Ranqing took the flyer: "What is this?"

Seeing that there was business coming, the old lady said happily: "The spirit world needs human souls, so those who don't want to take the reincarnation test have gone to participate in the spirit world enrollment. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Xu Ranqing thought it was worth a try, but the question was whether it cost money: "How much does it cost?"

"Not much, just as much as three towers of paper." The old lady gestured to Xu Ranqing.

Xu Ranqing said dejectedly: "In the past few years, no one has burned it for me."

"Put this aside, come stay at our training institution first, and then send a dream to your mother to ask her to bring it over."

"Can this still happen?"

"Of course, our training institutions are all poverty alleviation envious of poor ghosts, especially spiritualization."

Xu Ranqing was so moved by the old lady's words that she almost cried, so she asked, "When are we going to go over? I want to take the spiritual world civil service exam."

The old lady smiled and said, "You can come over now and hold my hand."

"Well, thank you grandma." Xu Ranqing took the old lady's hand and flew all the way to a forest.

It was lush and green here and very secluded. Xu Ranqing was a little nervous, but since she was here, there had to be a result. She was a ghost now and was not afraid of anything.

Passing through the dark forest, the old lady led her through the vines and into a sunny place, just like the secret base that Xu Cong had brought her to before, and it suddenly became clear.

It was very quiet there, but Xu Ranqing didn't feel scared.

The old lady yelled, "I brought this girl here."

The breeze blew up a tree, and the tree emitted a burst of light. A grandfather walked out of it and said kindly: "Okay, thank you~"

"Then I'll go first and leave her to you." The old lady left in a flash.

Xu Ranqing hadn't figured out what was going on yet, so he turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma..."

She turned too slowly and grandma ran away, but there was still grandpa, so she turned to grandpa again.

"Grandpa, where is this place and what do I need to do?"

The old man turned around and prepared to take Xu Ranqing to the place: "Little girl, you don't need to know where this is now, you will know it later. Come with me to the room with words and memorize all the rules and regulations. That is your residence. You can move in after reading the rules." The old man pointed for her as he walked.

Xu Ranqing agreed: "Oh!"

The old man continued, "After you recite it, you have to go through it again with me. But recite it slowly. It will take some time for me to shape your real body. Later, vines will measure you. You have to cooperate well, so that I can make a suitable real body for you."

Xu Ranqing asked again: "But I don't have any money now, even the training fee is on credit."

"Don't worry about that, you can make up for it later. As long as you pass the exam, the debt will be cleared."

Xu Ranqing felt that this responsibility was a bit heavy: "But I may not be able to pass the exam, so I decided not to take it."

The old man assured, "It's okay. This is offered every year. If you can't pass this one, there are other public exams you can take. Don't give up. We guarantee that you will pass. This is the meaning of our training institution's existence."

Xu Ranqing felt that she had nothing now, so she decided to give it a try. She firmly believed, "I will work hard to pass the exam."

"Well, child, I believe in you too, because I see a lot of luck in you. You are a lucky child."

Xu Ranqing: "Thank you, Grandpa. But if I pass the exam, can I go to the human world to see my mother?"

The old man laughed and said, "Your request is too easy. After your true body is created, you can go anywhere. You just need to pay attention to your personal safety."

Xu Ranqing said happily: "That's great, I will recite the rules carefully, Grandpa"

The old man smiled knowingly: "Grandpa believes in you."

Arriving at the House with Words on It, the old men walked in one after another. Xu Ranqing looked around the dark house but couldn't see anything clearly.

After the old man's renovation, the whole room became bright, including the words on the wall.

Xu Ranqing was shocked by the scene in front of him: "Grandpa, this room is so beautiful."

"It's so beautiful, just memorize all the beautiful words!"

"it is good."

"Then I'll go back first. I want to rest. It doesn't seem like you need to sleep, but you can go to your room in advance and take a look."

"Ah."

"Bye~" After the old man walked out, he created a ray of light and disappeared.

Xu Ranqing recited one sentence at a time, and when she got tired, she went out to see the green scenery.

It was a sunny day outside. Xu Ranqing sat on a small stone. He heard a creaking sound in his ears and listened quietly.

Xu Ranqing perked up as he wondered if there were elves here.

The elves were discussing at the back of the room with words.

"Her soul is of very good quality and has not dissipated for several years. I think it is feasible to let her take the demon race's civil service exam."

"Yes, that's her. To be honest, if I don't recruit her, I'm really afraid that she will become a vicious ghost."

"A very innocent girl."

"I would also like."

"I don't know how to arrange this exam?"

"Grandpa is so confident in leaving her in the House with Words on it?"

"She is so beautiful, I believe she will never run away"

After living here for a few simple months, the old man came to see her.

Xu Ranqing happily ran towards the old man: "Grandpa, I have been reciting for a long time, why did you come here just now?"

The old man stroked his long beard and found a rock to sit on: "Then I'll pick up a few and you can carry them for me!"

"Uh-huh."

This was the first test that the old man gave to Xu Ranqing. In the end, Xu Ranqing successfully memorized all the rules given by the old man.

The old man said happily: "Not bad, not bad, you have perseverance and determination."

It was also the first time that Xu Ranqing received such praise. It was actually quite easy to memorize the rules: "Thank you, Grandpa. Can I go find my mother now?"

"Well, but there is a time limit before that, because the real body is still in the trial stage and needs to be improved later. If you feel unwell, come back immediately."

"Okay, Grandpa."
