Chapter 368 Color?
The light inside the county government office was even darker.
After Chen Luo walked into it, he found that the suppression of his spiritual consciousness was even more obvious. With his spiritual consciousness in the late stage of pill formation, he could barely see about ten meters here. There was a layer of black air similar to ink flowing in this area. , this layer of power will hinder divine consciousness.
Chen Luo searched around the front hall and found nothing of value. He turned around and walked into the backyard. Inside was a square courtyard with houses on the left, middle and right sides, and an octagonal well in the center.
"Document Room."
Using his spiritual consciousness, Chen Luo found the file room he was looking for in the almost completely dark courtyard.
Wow
Before he could open the door and go in, Chen Luo heard the sound of paper falling to the ground. His expression paused, and he quickly looked back behind him, just in time to see a black shadow disappearing around the corner. This figure was exactly the 'colored' figure he saw in the mirror before.
Chen Luo quickly turned around and chased after the figure. His spiritual power escaped, 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 on her body is not bright. It is in this completely black and white world that it stands out.
This is the fourth color Chen Luo has seen.
The fourth color besides black, white and red.
The woman looked at Chen Luo, the expression on her face was full of wariness, completely different from the half-crazy old woman before.
"Who are you? What is this place?"
Chen Luo asked in a deep voice.
The moment he spoke, the woman's face changed drastically. She subconsciously wanted to run away, and there was even a pair of dark scissors in her hand. A burst of black light appeared above the scissors, piercing the 'vital energy blocking wall' behind like a dagger. It's a pity that her little method has no effect in front of Chen Luo. The vitality of heaven and earth controlled by the pill forming stage is like a copper wall. The moment her scissors touched the wall, they were blocked, and black light flickered on the top of the scissors. , unable to deposit any cents.
After realizing that there was no hope of escape, the woman had no choice but to put away the scissors and began to try to communicate with Chen Luo.
"Can't. Speak."
She gestured anxiously for a long time, and finally said four words stiffly.
"Can't speak?"
Chen Luo suddenly understood why it was so quiet here. There is a mysterious force that prohibits the appearance of 'sounds'. The old woman who cooked soup in the yard was used to this 'rule', so she could cook the soup without making any sound.
Almost at the same time, Chen Luo felt the gaze from the darkness. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the black clouds in the sky.
The clouds still stayed in that position, blocking the moonlight in the sky. But for some reason, Chen Luo felt danger. Behind the clouds, Youdao's sight cast down on the thing hidden in the clouds.
'Looking' at him.
"escape."
The woman also felt the danger. She anxiously grabbed Chen Luo's arm and wanted to take him away.
Her hands were very cold, not at the temperature of a normal person.
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse the woman's kindness. He didn't know the origin of the things in the clouds, but they must be a threat to him now, otherwise Brother Changqing wouldn't remind him.
Women know this place very well.
After Chen Luo released the blockade of 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 gives people a different feeling every time they turn a corner. After turning a dozen corners in a row, the feeling of being 'watched' gradually faded away.
The woman led Chen Luo to a room in the corner, reached out and patted the door knocker three times.
There was no sound when the door was knocked.
It's like a silent painting.
The wooden door opens automatically. The two quickly entered the yard, and it wasn't until the door was closed that the feeling of being spied on completely disappeared.
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 put things away 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 Yongye Kingdom."
The Kingdom of Eternal Night?
Chen Luo's brain quickly became active, and one of the external brains quickly recalled information related to Yongye Kingdom. This is a small country under a thousand-year-old country. This country is at the junction of the Golden Light Cave and the thousand-year-old country. Due to its geographical location, there is no light all year round, only eternal night.
People living here don't know what "day" is. In their understanding, 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 escaped, and the current national master is Chen Luo's master Wuwei Zhenren. Chen Luo didn't think Master Wuwei would issue such a weird order.
"The gods will be angry."
The woman replied matter-of-factly.
"God?"
Chen Luo thought of Shinto Jue. Could this place be the dojo of a Shinto monk? The cross-domain teleportation array shifted its position and sent him to this ghost place.
"What will the gods do when they are angry?"
"You can use lightning to kill those who disobey the gods. You were so lucky before. You violated the rules of the gods and were not struck to death by lightning."
Recalling the previous actions of talking outside, the woman still had some lingering fear.
She didn't know that this was not luck, but that Chen Luo used his own power of forming a pill to wrap that area. Even so, it did not completely isolate the perception of the thing in the air. The gaze that 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 ate it herself.
There was a shortage of food in this place, and every piece of food was precious.
"Is there no one in charge?"
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, and the upper echelons of the country were all eaten by the centipede monster. Those who were still active in the court were all puppets of the centipede monster.
If something like the Eternal Night Country happened in the Qionghua Sect, it would have been solved long ago. The Qionghua Seven Ancestors would not allow any evil cultivators who stole their "resources" to exist. In the territory of the Qionghua Sect, all living beings must follow the rules set by the Qionghua Seven Ancestors, and no one can cross them.
"In charge?"
The woman was puzzled.
Chen Luo did not discuss this topic with her again. The world she had seen since she was a child was like this, and the operating logic was also like this. She did not think there was any problem here.
In her eyes.
The problem was Chen Luo, the outsider.
"What is the technique you practice?"
There was no spiritual power fluctuation in the woman's body, and it did not seem like a ghost cultivation technique, let alone a demon cultivation technique. She had appeared silently beside Chen Luo before. If he mastered this incredible method, he would definitely have a lot more means to save his life.
"Technique."
The woman's eyes became more confused.
She could not understand what Chen Luo meant.
"It's the method you suddenly appeared behind me." Chen Luo thought of a more understandable statement.
The woman suddenly realized, and then pointed to her clothes and said.
"Color."
"Color?"
Chen Luo looked at the green skirt on her body, not understanding the meaning of color.
"Only if you have color can you be qualified to live."
The woman nodded seriously and confirmed this answer.
After speaking, she pointed to the green robe on Chen Luo's body and then pointed to her green skirt. Tell Chen Luo that both of them are people with color, people who are "qualified" to live. She approached Chen Luo because he also has "color".
"Who set this qualification? And where did the other people in the town go?"
Chen Luo sat down opposite the woman, and he began to slowly adapt to the way of communicating with the woman.
"The people in the town. Without color, they have become trees."
The woman was also thinking about Chen Luo's words. She wanted to get the color of Chen Luo, so she thought very hard and finally gave an answer after a long time.
Tree?
The old woman who cut 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 forests all around. If that dense forest was all transformed by people, there would probably be few living people in the Eternal Night Country.
But, how did color become power? How should this power be used?
"How did you get behind me before?"
Chen Luo looked at the woman and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Walked over."
The woman looked confused and didn't understand what was there to ask. Chen Luo tried several more methods, but found that no matter how he asked, the woman could not describe it clearly. This power is part of her body. She can use it, but she does not know its essence.
"How long has the Kingdom of Eternal Night become like this?"
"When my grandfather was still alive, the Kingdom of Eternal Night was like this." The woman paused, as if she was afraid that what she knew would be useless to Chen Luo, so she added.
"The Heart-Questioning Town changed ten years ago."
As the woman tried to recall, she seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, and every time she recalled it, it took a lot of time.
"At that time, a god came. I saw the god waved his hand, and the 'sun' above the Heart-Questioning Town disappeared. There was a black cloud 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. There are fewer and fewer people in the town, and the trees outside are growing more and more."
"Where is the god?"
The source of the change 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 in this life inn.
It was definitely not a skill from the Tiannan region.
"Can I learn your color?"
The woman waited for a long time after she finished speaking. Seeing that Chen Luo had been frowning and thinking, she finally couldn't help but ask.
She took the risk of bringing Chen Luo home just to learn his "color".
"Learn. Color?"
"Yes."
The woman nodded quickly, telling Chen Luo that he had not heard wrong.
"How to learn?"
"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 by her. 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, stained it with the drop of ink, and drew a stroke on another short shirt. The originally black shirt was quickly dyed green the moment the brush fell. (End of this chapter)
