The light inside the county government office became even dimmer.
After Chen Luo walked in, he found that the suppression of his spiritual consciousness was more obvious. With his spiritual consciousness in the late Jindan stage, he could only barely see about ten meters here. There was a layer of black gas similar to ink flowing in this area, and this layer of force would hinder the spiritual consciousness.
Chen Luo searched the front hall but didn't find anything valuable. He turned and walked into the backyard, which was a square courtyard with houses on the left, middle and right sides, and an octagonal well in the center.
"The Zongzhuan Room."
Using his spiritual sense, Chen Luo found the sect volume room he was looking for in this almost completely dark courtyard.
Crash
Before he pushed the door open, Chen Luo heard the sound of paper falling to the ground. His expression paused, and he quickly turned around to look behind him, just in time to see a black shadow disappearing around the corner. This figure was exactly the "colored" figure he had seen in the mirror before.
Chen Luo quickly turned around and chased after the figure. His spiritual power dissipated, forming a tsunami-like blockade, cutting off the figure's escape route.
The fleeing figure sensed the danger and was forced to stop.
She turned around.
This is a woman wearing a green dress. The color of her dress is not bright, but it stands out in this completely black and white world.
This is the fourth color Chen Luo saw.
The fourth color besides black, white and red.
The woman looked at Chen Luo, her expression full of vigilance, completely different from the half-crazy old woman before.
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
Chen Luo asked in a deep voice.
The moment he opened his mouth, the woman's face changed drastically. She subconsciously wanted to escape, and even had a pair of black scissors in her hand. A burst of black light appeared on the scissors, and they stabbed at the "vital energy blocking wall" behind them like a dagger. Unfortunately, her tricks were useless in front of Chen Luo. The heaven and earth vital energy controlled by the Jindan stage was like a copper wall and iron wall. The moment her scissors touched the wall, they were blocked. The black light flickered on the top of the scissors, and no energy could penetrate.
After realizing there was no hope of escape, the woman put away the scissors and began trying to communicate with Chen Luo.
"Can't. Speak."
She gestured anxiously for a long time, and finally uttered four words stiffly.
"Can't talk?"
Chen Luo immediately understood why it was so quiet here. There was a mysterious force that prohibited the appearance of "sound". The old woman who cooked soup in the yard before was used to this "rule", so she could cook soup without making any sound.
Almost at the same time, Chen Luo felt the gaze coming from the darkness. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
The clouds still stayed there, blocking the moonlight in the sky. But for some reason, Chen Luo felt danger. Behind the clouds, a line of sight was projected, the thing hidden in the clouds.
'Looking' at him.
"escape."
The woman also sensed the danger. She anxiously grabbed Chen Luo's arm and wanted to take him away.
Her hands were very cold, not at the normal temperature.
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, but did not reject the woman's kindness. He didn't know where the thing in the clouds came from, but it must be a threat to him now, otherwise Brother Changqing would not have reminded him.
The woman is very familiar with this place.
After Chen Luo released the blockade of the heaven and earth energy, she quickly pulled Chen Luo out of the county government office and then quickly shuttled through the town. The same street gave people a different feeling after each corner, and after turning more than a dozen corners in a row, the feeling of being "watched" gradually faded.
The woman took Chen Luo to a room in the corner and knocked on the door knocker three times.
There was no sound when I knocked on the door.
It's like a silent painting.
The wooden door opened automatically. The two of them quickly entered the yard, and only when the door closed did the feeling of being spied on completely disappear.
The woman let out a long sigh of relief. She untied her hairband and let her hair fall down.
"Once you enter the room, you can speak freely."
The woman packed up her things skillfully, opened the drawer next to her, took out two small black balls, and threw one of them into her mouth.
This is food.
She had gone out just to look for food.
"Our place is called Wenxin Town, a small town in the Kingdom of Eternal Night."
The Kingdom of Eternal Night?
Chen Luo's brain quickly became active, and one of his external brains quickly recalled information about the Eternal Night Country. This was a small country under the Millennium Ancient Country. This country was located at the junction of the Golden Light Cave and the Millennium Ancient Country. Due to its geographical location, there was no light all year round, only eternal darkness.
People living here don't know what "daytime" is. In their perception, the moon is the "sun" and the source of light.
"Why can't we talk outside?"
The old national master of the thousand-year-old country has fled, and the current national master is Chen Luo's master, Wuwei Zhenren. Chen Luo didn't think that Wuwei Zhenren would issue such a strange order.
"The gods will be angry."
The woman replied as a matter of course.
"God?"
Chen Luo thought of the Shinto sutra. Could this place be the dojo of a Shinto practitioner? The cross-domain teleportation array shifted its position and sent him to this ghost place.
"What would a god do if he got angry?"
"Those who disobey the gods will be struck to death with lightning. You were really lucky before. You disobeyed the rules of the gods and were not struck to death by lightning."
Recalling what she had done outside before, the woman still felt a little scared.
She didn't know that this was not luck, but Chen Luo used his own power of forming a pill to cover that area. Even so, it did not completely isolate the perception of the thing in the air. The gaze Chen Luo felt later was the attention from that "god".
Seeing that Chen Luo did not eat the black ball she handed over, the woman took the thing back and started eating it herself.
Food is scarce in this place and every bit of food is precious.
"No one cares?"
Chen Luo was not very clear about the system of the thousand-year-old country. He only knew that the previous thousand-year-old country was hollowed out by the centipede monster. All the upper echelons of the country had their internal organs eaten by the centipede monster, and those who were still active in the court were all puppets of the centipede monster.
If something like the Eternal Night Kingdom happened in the Qionghua Sect, it would have been resolved long ago. The Qionghua Seven Ancestors would not allow any evil cultivators who steal their "resources" to exist. In the Qionghua Sect, all living beings must follow the rules set by the Qionghua Seven Ancestors, and no one can transcend them.
"Tube?"
The woman was a little confused.
Chen Luo did not discuss this topic with her anymore. This was the world she had seen since she was a child, and the operating logic was also the same. She did not think there was any problem here.
In her eyes.
The problem lies with the outsider Chen Luo.
"What technique do you practice?"
This woman had no spiritual power fluctuations in her body, and it didn't seem like she was practicing ghost cultivation, let alone demon cultivation. She had appeared silently beside Chen Luo before. If she could master this incredible method, it would definitely give him a lot more ways to save his life.
"Kung Fu."
The woman's eyes became even more confused.
She couldn't understand what Chen Luo meant.
"That's the way you suddenly appeared behind me." Chen Luo thought of a more understandable explanation.
The woman suddenly realized, and then pointed at her clothes and said.
"color."
"color?"
Chen Luo looked at the green dress she was wearing, not understanding the meaning of the color.
"Only by having color can you have the right to live."
The woman nodded seriously, confirming the answer.
After saying that, she pointed at Chen Luo's cyan robe and her own green skirt. She told Chen Luo that they were both people with color and were "qualified" to live. She approached Chen Luo because he also had "color".
"Who set this qualification? And where did the rest of the people in town go?"
Chen Luo sat down opposite the woman and slowly began to adapt to the way of communicating with the woman.
"The people in this town have lost their colors and have all become trees."
The woman was also thinking about Chen Luo's words. She wanted to get the same color as Chen Luo, so she thought very hard and it took her a long time to come up with an answer.
Tree?
The old woman who chopped him with a knife turned into tree bark after she died. Thinking back to the teleportation place where he had landed before, there were old trees all around. If all the dense trees were transformed from humans, there would probably be few living people in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
But how does color become power? And how should this power be used?
"How did you get behind me before?"
Chen Luo looked at the woman and asked the question that concerned him most.
"Walked there."
The woman looked confused, not understanding why there was anything to ask. Chen Luo tried several other methods, but found that no matter how he asked, the woman could not describe it clearly. This power was a part of her body, and she could use it, but she did not know its nature.
"How long has the Kingdom of Eternal Night been like this?"
"The Eternal Night Kingdom was like this when my grandfather was still alive." The woman paused, as if she was afraid that what she knew was useless to Chen Luo, so she added.
"Wenxin Town changed ten years ago."
As the woman tried hard to recall, she seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, and each time she tried to recall it took a lot of time.
"At that time, a god came. I saw the god wave his hand, and the 'sun' above Wenxin Town disappeared. A black cloud appeared in the sky, and the color of the town also disappeared at that time. Under the judgment of the god, people without 'color' turned into trees. The number of people in the town became fewer and fewer, and the trees outside grew more and more."
"Where is the God?"
The source of the changes in this place is the "God". If you want to leave here, the most important thing is to find the God. It would be best to get his "color" method. This strange and unpredictable magical power gave Chen Luo a sense of déjà vu of the inn in this life.
It is definitely not the martial arts method from the Tiannan Region.
“Can I learn your colors?”
The woman waited for a long time after she finished speaking. Seeing that Chen Luo was frowning and thinking, she finally couldn't help but ask a question.
She took the risk of bringing Chen Luo home just to learn his 'colors'.
"Learn. Colors?"
"Um."
The woman nodded quickly, telling Chen Luo that he had not heard wrongly.
"How do you study?"
“That’s it.”
The woman stretched out her arm and pulled up her left sleeve with her right hand. As she moved, a drop of light green "ink" was drawn out. After the ink left, the color on the woman's clothes faded visibly.
In the blink of an eye, the green dress turned into a white dress.
The woman grabbed the drop of "ink", took out a brush from the drawer, dipped it in the ink, and drew a line on another shirt. The originally black shirt was quickly dyed green the moment the brush fell. (End of this chapter)
