Wu Gen panicked and ran back and forth in the small temple, calling his companions in the painting. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a painting. The content of this mural was intricate and confusing, and various scenes were randomly spliced together, as if it had been broken and then spliced back together. Everything seemed so familiar.
There is a small hole in the corner of the painting. After standing in confusion for a long time, Wu Gen finally remembered that his experience just now was almost exactly the same as the scene in the painting. Reaching out and taking off the jade pendant from his neck, Wu Gen looked a little complicated. He turned around and walked to the mural with water from the moon, and smashed it hard with the jade pendant.
A trace of blood seeped out from the mural, but Wu Gen remained unmoved and continued to wave the jade pendant in his hand desperately.
Suddenly, Wu Gen stopped what he was doing, and a bone-chilling chill rose in his heart. He slowly turned his head, and behind him was a "person" wearing a robe. It was more like a robe than a person.
The robes are one black and one white, with clear boundaries, floating quietly in the air. Looking at the cloak on the robe, there was nothing inside, only a deep shadow.
Turning around to look at the location of the altar, it was empty.
"Who are you?" Wu Gen looked at the robe flowing in the air, his heart filled with warning signs.
There was a blur before his eyes, and the robe disappeared from the spot. Wu Gen turned his head in horror. His robe was already standing in front of the mural behind him, and he silently looked at the person in the painting. Carefully walking to his side, Wu Gen swallowed and said, "Who are you and what is this place?"
"This is the gray world. You can call me the town after my name." The robe suddenly spoke, turning to face Wu Gen. There was a flame in the shadow under the cloak, "Are you here to look for the Taichu Stone?"
Wu Gen nodded, and then shook his head, "Originally, we came to the Great Relic Continent for the Great First Stone, but on the way, someone told us that it was wrong to do so, so we stopped thinking about it."
Zhen was silent for a moment, "The Taichu Stone can't save the polluted world outside, or it can't completely solve it. Therefore, you can't remove the roots by taking the Taichu Stone."
"pollute?"
"Yes, the pollution of spiritual energy and negative energy."
This was the first time Wu Gen heard such a statement, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are spiritual energy and adverse energy pollution?"
Zhen's body slowly floated in the air, "Spiritual energy and negative energy should not exist in the world. They are just demons released unintentionally by some beings."
Wu Gen raised his head in shock, "What kind of existence is it?" Zhen made a noisy sound, but he couldn't hear the content clearly.
Zhen turned to look at Wu Gen, "Look, you can't hear me even if I say it. Wait until you are qualified to hear their names.
"Why can't the Taichu Stone save the outside world?"
"The Taichu Stone can indeed eliminate spiritual energy or adverse energy, but there are too few Taichu Stones in Daxizhou to destroy all the spiritual energy and adverse energy. Even if it can dissolve part of it, spiritual energy and adverse energy will still slowly emerge between heaven and earth.
You are a human race, and the person who sent you here to look for the Taichu Stone probably didn't want to destroy Niqi in one fell swoop, but just wanted to weaken the Dark Race's power and then take the opportunity to destroy the opponent. "
Wu Gen was excited, and suddenly a strange thought came into his mind, "Since the outside world is polluted, what is the Great Relic Continent?"
"The Great Relic Continent is a shelter that protects all the tribes in the continent from spiritual energy and negative energy. The huge formation surrounding the Great Relic Continent is based on the Taichu Stone. If the Taichu Stone is removed, the formation will also be lost. That’s why people like Yun Ao will try their best to stop you from taking the Taichu Stone.”
"If that's the case, then why not seal the Great Relic Continent and open it every ninety-nine years?" Wu Gen was a little confused.
Zhen walked to the door of the temple and faced the dark world outside the temple. "As a shelter, Dayizhou is still too small. There must be some channels for communication. Besides, although Dayizhou has thin spiritual energy and adverse energy, time is As it grows, it will accumulate a lot, so naturally a channel is needed to send it out."
"Zhen, who are you?" Wu Gen asked again, what is the identity of this mysterious man who seems to know so many secrets.
There was silence for a long time, and just when Wu Gen thought that the other party would not answer this question, Zhen suddenly said, "I am the one from Da Yizhou."
The formation spirit of the formation is responsible for maintaining the operation of the formation. "
Wu Gen did not expect such a result. He originally thought that Zhen was an expert hiding here. No wonder the other party was in such a shape.
"You are the first person to walk out of the mural so quickly. Others often take hundreds of years to walk out, and most of them will be forever transformed into a scene in the painting." Zhen turned his head, and the flames under his cloak were beating fiercely. Some, "The object on your chest is a bit mysterious, and it cannot be included in the mural."
Wu Gen took out his jade pendant and quickly asked: "What is this."
Zhen shook his head, "I can't tell its origin. The divine consciousness will disappear as soon as it enters it. In other words, it is not something I can spy on at my level."
Wu Gen put down the jade pendant with some disappointment, thinking that this guy named Zhen would recognize it, "What did you do to them?"
Zhen glanced at the jade pendant and pointed to the murals in the temple, "Your companions are not seriously injured, they just entered the world of paintings. Every painting here is a world, but in fact they are imprisoned in it. , but it is also a kind of cultivation. The laws of heaven and earth in the world in the painting are not as powerful as in the real world. If the world here can be broken, it is also a kind of chance. "
Wu Gen gently poked the mural with a hole in it and looked at his hand, "But I have come out, but I don't feel anything else." This robed array spirit couldn't be deceiving himself.
"Because you did not escape with your own strength, but with the help of the power of the jade pendant, naturally you will not have any insights. Moreover, when you fell into the mural, affected by the jade pendant, the entire space became chaotic and weakened invisibly. The power of space in the world in the painting." Zhen replied coldly.
Only then did Wu Gen understand why the world in the painting he saw was so weird. It turned out to be caused by the jade pendant. "They may have noticed our existence in the painting."
"No, just like an ant crawling on the ground, will it see the birds in the sky? In its eyes, the world is just a flat land, where is the sky? From birth to death, it only sees the ground. The same goes for the people in these paintings, They only see the world in the painting. They never thought that their world is just a painting."
Wu Gen was a little unconvinced, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe some ants are restless and just want to look at the sky."
"Yes, sooner or later something like this will happen. There are always some creatures who want to break through the existing stereotypes."
Zhen's voice came faintly, "When an ant looks up at the sky, both heaven and earth will tremble. Because it sees the limitations of its own world, and when it sees it, it wants to try it, and wants to touch the world outside the world. Slowly, he will grow a pair of wings and fly in the sky, trying to explore more places. Until one day, he will be engulfed by the blazing flames of the sun." At this point, the flames under the cloak dimmed a little,
Wu Gen always felt that he meant something, and after thinking for a while he retorted: "But if there are more ants flying in the sky, one of them will survive."
"Yes, that's why I let you in just to see if you are such an ant." With a flick of his robe, Zhen was already in front of Wu Gen.
Wu Gen couldn't help but take a step back. Although he didn't feel any power from Zhen, how could he be like Yi Yu who could preside over such a large formation? "Why did you let us in? Can you let my companions out? What do you want?" Wu Gen asked tentatively, pointing at the mural.
The other party has talked so much with me, and he will never be bored. He must have something up his sleeve by bringing him here to chat.
"Promise me a condition, and I will let them out, and I can also take you to see the Taichu Stone."
"What conditions."
"Release me from here, because I also want to be a flying ant. Although I am a formation spirit, now that I have my mind, I will not be willing to be imprisoned in the formation forever.
This formation is my mural world. For countless years, I have asked again and again about the creatures who can come here, and I have given them blessings, but in the end, no one can let me go. "Zhen's voice was a little vicissitudes of life, and his robes swayed slightly.
Wu Gen thought about it seriously and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "I'm afraid it's not easy to let you go. If you leave the formation, I'm afraid the formation protecting the Great Relic Continent will collapse, and countless creatures in that continent will die. Such a huge reason
It is estimated that no one can bear the consequences. "
Zhen suddenly chuckled a few times, "Yes, my mission is to protect the Great Relic Continent. How could I allow such a tragedy to happen? Only if the spiritual energy or negative energy is completely eliminated, or the Great Relic Continent can find a safe place, I will Only then can you turn off the formation and travel around the world."
Wu Gen sighed, "Although I can trick you now and promise to let you out in the future, to be honest, it is harder than reaching the sky to achieve your conditions. No wonder no one has been able to let you out in these years. Forget it, you still have to Let’s change some conditions. For example, let’s drink with you, chat, etc.”
Zhen said nonchalantly: "Of course I know it's difficult, but as you said, there are more ants flying in the sky. Maybe there will be one ant flying across the sky. I can wait. Over the years, I am the least likely to What’s missing is patience.”
Wu Gen blinked, "Okay, in that case, I promise you. You can let him go now."
"Don't worry, staying longer in the murals will be an opportunity for them. Since you are looking for the Prime Stone on this trip, you might as well come with me and have a look." The flames under the cloak flickered faster, and the robe turned toward the temple. The doorway drifted away.
Wu Gen thought for a moment and followed him. When he left the temple gate, everything was dark. The small temple is like a candle in the dark night, standing alone in the darkness.
Zhen's body emits a light, which points straight into the distance, forming a light bridge. "Follow me, but please follow closely. Otherwise, you will fall into nothingness, and even I will not be able to save you."
Wu Gen quickly followed Zhen onto the light bridge. As the two of them moved forward, the light bridge behind them also disappeared. Looking at the smaller and smaller temple in the distance and the endless darkness around him, Wu Gen felt worried and got closer to the town. If he hadn't been wary, he might have pounced on him long ago.
I don’t know how long I walked, but gradually, the temple behind me became a faint spot of light. Wu Gen's heart became heavier as he walked away. Although he knew that a being like Zhen would not deceive him, the heavy darkness around him still made him breathless, and his heartbeat sounded like a drum in the secluded environment.
"There is no need to be afraid. As long as you follow me, there will be no danger." Sensing Wu Gen's uneasiness, Zhen comforted him.
"Who says I'm scared? It's just that it's too quiet here." Wu Genyu said harshly, his right hand ready to touch Zhen's robe.
"I advise you not to do this, unless you want to lose this hand forever." Zhen said lightly as if there were eyes on his back.
Wu Gen retracted his hand angrily and twisted his hands tightly together. This kind of damn curiosity sometimes disgusted him.
"We're here." Zhen's voice came out. He took a step forward and disappeared suddenly.
