Chapter 246: See the Gray World Again Jiang Lin was extremely alert, holding a handful of copper coins in his hand and staring closely at the old temple keeper. It was not only Mu Guiying who saw the clues just now, he also saw something. This old temple keeper was obviously not simple. What he did just now was not something that an ordinary immortal could do. There was a shimmering purple-gold light in Jiang Lin's eyes, and all his attention was on the old temple keeper. However, the next moment Jiang Lin felt his hand lighten, and the copper plate disappeared. When he saw it again, it was in the hands of the old temple keeper. Jiang Lin couldn't help but blink. Even though he had activated his Purple Star Dharma Eye to its maximum, Jiang Lin couldn't see the old temple keeper's movements clearly. It seems that the identity of this old temple keeper is no longer difficult to explain. At least in the eyes of Jiang Lin and Mu Guiying, this old temple keeper is just an ordinary and unremarkable old man. But this is the biggest difference. What normal old man can use his physical speed so fast that Jiang Lin and Mu Guiying can't catch up at all? "Old man, you have taken the money, so please give me some advice..." Jiang Lin did not delve into the matter further, nor did he ask any questions regarding the old temple keeper's identity.

Since the boss has chosen to hide it, there will be no point in my exploration. At least for now, it seems that this old temple keeper is not an enemy. After all, this place is at the foot of Tiesha Mountain, and not everyone can hang around under the nose of Hei Nainai. Of course, it would be a different story if the old temple keeper in front of her was someone that Black Grandma couldn’t detect at all. If he really was a big boss like that, even if he was an enemy, Jiang Lin would have no way to deal with him. Just now, Qiongjue mentioned the Gray Realm, and Jiang Lin had been to the Gray Realm once. But here, he did not catch any aura related to the Gray Realm or the entrance to the Gray Realm, as if this was just an ordinary dilapidated ancestral hall. But if that were the case, the behavior of the extremists would be completely unjustifiable. Moreover, Jiang Lin always felt that there were some secrets behind the two names of this ancestral hall, which might be related to the entrance to the gray world hidden here. At the moment, it seems that the only person who can give Jiang Lin some advice is the old temple priest in front of him. "You are such a loser, kid." The old temple keeper counted the copper coins in his hand one by one, and said without raising his head: "The guidance is clearly on you, but you still want to give money to this old man." As he spoke, the old temple keeper put the copper coins into a tattered purse, then covered the purse and looked at Jiang Lin vigilantly: "I won't return the money!" Hearing this, Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and took out the talisman with black characters on a red background from his sleeve. "Is this what you are talking about?" The only thing on my body, but I can't see the origin of it clearly, is a talisman. 'Om! ' At this moment, the talisman in Jiang Lin's hand suddenly vibrated and hummed. This surprised Jiang Lin a little. You know, no matter what means he used, he couldn't see the slightest foundation of this talisman. Even thought it was just an ordinary thing.

But now, there have been miraculous changes. wrong…… Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at the shrine in front of him and the tablet above the shrine. It was already blurry and he had no idea what was being enshrined there. He tried to distance himself a little. The humming sound of the talisman gradually weakened. Jiang Lin moved closer again, and the talisman vibrated and hummed again. Sure enough, it was not the magic of the talisman itself, or in other words, the magical power would only burst out when the talisman came into contact with certain things. And these things are obviously the shrine in front of us. Or rather, something hidden within the shrine... Jiang Lin walked to the front of the shrine, and the talisman in his hand began to vibrate more and more vigorously, and even the red runes on it began to show signs of disintegration. Seeing this, Jiang Lin pasted the talisman on the tablet in the shrine. ‘Buzz! ! ’ The next moment, the energy of yin and yang exploded, and the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, like a bowl of burning oil, causing the entire tablet to burn. As the tablet burned, the energy of yin and yang became more and more intense. Finally, a portal was formed, a gray portal that led to nowhere. "Gray World." Jiang Lin's eyes, shining with purple-gold divine light, looked quietly at the door in front of him. It's the gray world again. Among the three realms of heaven, earth and man, the connection between the human world and the underworld is the closest. This close connection has many benefits. The underworld is the starting and end point of reincarnation, and the human world is the realm that most needs reincarnation. The closer the connection between the two, the more tenacious the process and cycle of reincarnation will be. This is good for the entire three realms. However, this extremely close connection also has some drawbacks. For example, the gates of hell are wide open during the Ghost Festival, and evil spirits and ghosts from the underworld occasionally wander into the human world. These are small things. But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, but there is no good way to deal with it. That is the existence of the gray world. As the gap between the two worlds derived from the close connection between the underworld and the world of the living, it is a place where there is no distinction between yin and yang, but also where both yin and yang are connected. The birth of the Gray World is inevitable, and trying to eradicate it will do more harm than good, because there is only one way to eradicate the Gray World, and that is to separate the connection between the Yin and Yang worlds. Compared with the consequences of doing so, the existence of the gray world seems insignificant. As a byproduct of maintaining reincarnation, the Gray Realm facilitates many people and forces.

In this area, humans and ghosts coexist, and all kinds of people mix together. Moreover, each gray world is relatively independent, which brings good security. Whether it is for exchanging what you have, getting some prohibited things, or even as a place for conspiracy, it is an excellent choice. For example, the scene in front of Jiang Lin was completely dark. Who could have thought that at the foot of Tiesha Mountain, there would be an entrance to the gray world that was naturally a little bit against the rules? Looking at the entrance, Jiang Lin did not walk in immediately, but looked at the old temple keeper on the side. "Old man, this entrance is only available after the tablet is burned." Jiang Lin said with a smile. His meaning is very simple, can you explain it to me? The existence of the Gray Realm, in most cases, means a violation of the law, or at least steps on the edge of the Heavenly Law. The Justice Hall has always been conducting investigations into the Gray Realm, which is a 'permanent mission' of the group of judicial spiritual officers. Under this premise, Hei Nainai is the great protector of Taibai Jinxing who stayed in the human world, or simply the tentacle of this star god in the human world. Could Black Grandma allow such an entrance to be built right under her nose? Considering the current situation, there are several possibilities. 1. The talisman belongs to Black Grandma. After being combined with the tablet here, the entrance appears. In a sense, Black Grandma is an "accomplice". It was only because Jiang Lin came and the Tianren faction was preparing to cause trouble here that they gave up the entrance to the gray world. After all, controlling an entrance to the Gray World also means an endless supply of resources and wealth, but Jiang Lin always felt that Black Grandma, the great protector of Tiesha Mountain, would not look down on this. Second, it has something to do with the old temple keeper in front of him who is definitely not an ordinary person. The entrance can only appear when the talisman comes into contact with the tablet. Assuming that the talisman was obtained by Grandma Hei from somewhere, but this entrance was not processed, could it be related to the tablet and the existence represented by the tablet? Is Hei Nainan afraid of the consequences? That's why I tolerated it. That's why Jiang Lin had this question. The black grandmother who gave the talisman, the old temple keeper who collected the tablet, and the entrance that could only appear when the tablet and talisman were combined, these elements added together, there were too many possibilities. The old temple keeper did not change because of Jiang Lin's hidden needle, which seemed to be nonsense but actually contained some inquiries. He just raised his head and grinned at Jiang Lin. The next moment, without Jiang Lin and Mu Guiying noticing, the old temple keeper disappeared. Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Guiying, who shook her head slightly. Different from Jiang Lin who focused part of his attention on the entrance to the gray world, Mu Guiying had been staring at the old temple keeper and even secretly used the secret method of Mount Li. But Mu Guiying had no idea how the old temple keeper disappeared just now, whether he disappeared or hid himself. "The strength of this old temple priest..." Mu Guiying said hesitantly, "Even some of the immortals I have met seem to be stronger?" She was a little uncertain, as that realm was a bit far away from her, so she could only guess. “There’s no need to explore.” Jiang Lin shook his head slightly. If they wanted to know the old temple keeper's true identity, both of them had ways to do it. It is nothing more than a ritual. This is true even if the old temple keeper is a legendary god.

Jiang Lin and Mu Guiying, who’s family doesn’t have a great master? Whose master doesn’t protect his own children? You can explore it, but there is no need to, because it is completely meaningless. Whether or not you know the identity of the old temple keeper and what the black lady’s attitude is are all trivial matters. The most important thing is the entrance to the gray world in front of us. Jiang Lin looked at Mu Guiying and said, "Senior Sister Mu, this matter seems to have a lot to do with me, but it has nothing to do with you." Mu Guiying was about to speak when she heard this, but was interrupted by Jiang Lin. "Sister is now going through trials in the human world, and her job is to assist the dragon, so it's better not to be distracted." Jiang Lin's words were very clear. Even if Mu Guiying had a request to Tieshashan, Tieshashan had to accept this "request" for the sake of the Queen of Mount Li. In other words, Mu Guiying has followed until now, and even put in some effort, and has already done a favor for Hei Nainai. In other words, this was originally Hei Nainai's purpose, to let Mu Guiying witness something as a bystander. But that's it. Mu Guiying is not an idle person. She has a lot of things to do, and they are extremely urgent. "In that case, Senior Sister will not be polite with you." Mu Guiying was not a person who would procrastinate. After hearing Jiang Lin’s direct words, she stopped being pretentious. "My senior sister will send someone to collect your half of the Dragon Subduing Wood and wait for you to take over. You should be careful about what happens here." "it is good." Jiang Lin nodded, and under the escort of Mu Guiying, he walked into the entrance to the gray world. In fact, there is a better way, that is for Jiang Lin to become poor and see if he can get more information about the arrangements of the Tianren system here. But Jiang Lin had no intention of doing so at all. No matter what those bastards in the Tianren system are doing, is it true that once we have a thorough understanding of the situation, we don't have to resort to violence? Instead of fighting with wits and courage, Jiang Lin chose to use a knife directly. The base color of the Gray Realm is gray. It is the place where yin and yang meet, creating a chaotic landscape. But it's only an illusion. Jiang Lin walked in the gray world, and all he saw was a dark world. There was no movement, and no living creatures. But soon, Jiang Lin discovered something different. A man in a star robe appeared not far away. Judging from his direction, he seemed to have come specially to greet them. After seeing Jiang Lin, the man was stunned at first, then confused, and finally surprised and horrified. He seemed to have thought of something and his face changed drastically. 'Zheng! '

Jiang Lin looked at the head that rolled to the ground, its mouth slightly opening and closing but unable to speak, and the headless body that collapsed to the ground. He put away the Zhenwu sword and continued to move forward. There is no need to ask questions. If we kill all the celestial beings who can appear in the Gray Realm, some may be innocent, but if we kill every other one, there will definitely be some that slip through the net. Jiang Lin had no intention of picking out the enoki mushrooms that could be used after washing from the dung pile. Just now, the celestial being who was wearing a star robe and did not hide his identity as a celestial being and his service in the Tianshu Academy had actually told Jiang Lin something. He came to greet me on purpose, so he must have calculated the time to greet someone. And that change in expression was also captured by Jiang Lin. Obviously, the man was puzzled only after he saw Jiang Lin clearly that this person did not seem to be the person he was going to pick up. The subsequent change in expression clearly showed that he recognized Jiang Lin's identity and did not understand why Jiang Lin was here. "A portal that has never been used?" Jiang Lin murmured to himself. The expression of that person just now told him a very reliable guess. The passage he used to enter this gray world did not seem to be always open, but rather an entrance that had never been opened, or was only opened for special purposes. That's why a celestial being comes to greet you, and that's why the celestial being wonders why the person who walks in doesn't match the person he's supposed to meet. And since a celestial being has come, does it mean that I am not far from the place where these bastards are causing trouble? Jiang Lin thought so in his heart, and the ground under his feet became as small as an inch, and he moved forward in the direction from which the person came. Soon, something different appeared before my eyes. A mountain, a mountain that is not very majestic and very desolate. There shouldn't be mountains in the Gray Realm. This mountain was obviously moved from the World of the Living by someone. It is a dead mountain with only the shape of a mountain but no roots. In other words, it's just a fortress made of huge stones. The mountain is about twenty meters high, with jagged rocks, and there seems to be no signs of any living activity. However, this was not the case in Jiang Lin's eyes. Under the eyes of Ziwei, there is a lot of energy moving inside this dead mountain. Yin Qi, dead Qi, Yang Qi... Ghosts, gods, monsters, demons, cultivators... well. Jiang Lin nodded and raised his hand. "I know the names of the Five Thunder Gods. They come as fast as lightning when called. They are iron-faced messengers with majestic power. They save people from suffering and cut off evil spirits. All gods listen to my voice." "Hurry and obey the order of Jade Purity Divine King!" "The Five Thunders of Divine Heaven." "Summon."
