Ling Yani replied in an extremely calm tone: "Brother Feifan, this is a real ghost town."
At this moment, this place is indeed like a ghost town, completely different from the daytime. There must be some reason for this. Chen Feifan didn't understand, so he had to ask Ling Yani: "Why is there no one at night?"
Ling Yani smiled and continued walking forward, came to Chen Feifan, pointed to the sky outside the window and asked, "What can you see?"
Chen Feifan didn't understand what Ling Yani wanted to say. He looked at the sky she was pointing to and saw that the sky was pitch black. If he really felt there was something wrong, he couldn't see why. He just felt a little strange because except for the lights on the ground, Outside, there is indeed no light in the sky. The sky at this time was like a huge cover covering the ghost town inside. If it weren't for the lights in the people's homes on the ground, it would be completely dark here.
"Is there something shrouded here?" Chen Feifan asked. He didn't think that the situation in the sky had any connection with the situation on the ground.
Ling Yani nodded and replied, "It's black energy."
Chen Feifan didn't say anything. He pointed the index and middle fingers of his right hand together toward the window, and a red sword energy flew out from his finger. As soon as it entered the air, the sword energy took shape, although it still moved upward diagonally. , but it flew slower and slower, and became lighter and lighter, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"There is indeed black energy." The change in the sword energy made Chen Feifan completely believe what Ling Yani said. Maybe it was the black energy in the sky that blocked the original light; but there were still some things he didn't understand, so he hurriedly pointed at The light below the window asked, "Then why can't you see these black gases under the light?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yani frowned slightly and replied: "There is black energy in the sky and evil energy on the ground. This situation only occurs before sunrise and after sunset, so this place is called a ghost town."
Unexpectedly, this ghost town really lived up to its name. Chen Feifan really wanted to see the evil spirit on the ground. After all, everyone stayed at home at night. This was the first time he had seen such a situation; this made him have a deep understanding of that ghost town. Shi Qi became even more interested, but since he was busy with something, he could only tolerate his curiosity for the time being.
Although he endured it, he still flew out a downward red sword energy. Unexpectedly, this sword energy was not blocked by the evil spirit and split a stone on the ground not far from the window into two halves at an extremely fast speed.
"The evil spirit is confusing the mind." Ling Yani said from the side, "Brother Feifan, it's getting late. I'll go back to my room to rest first. I'll wait for you downstairs at dawn tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Chen Feifan nodded. After Ling Yani left, he sat alone in front of the window and looked at the difference between the sky and the earth outside. The ghost town has such a strange situation at night. In Chen Feifan's opinion, this must have an inexplicable relationship with the Yizi Mountain not far away. Of course, this is also his random guess. I'm afraid no one can say why this happens. It turns out that maybe only the people who originally named this place a ghost town might know something about it.
After looking out the window for a while, Chen Feifan remembered that when he checked into this store during the day, he found that many people of all kinds lived in this store, so he decided to go downstairs to try his luck, maybe he could learn something he wanted to know.
After leaving the room and walking downstairs, there was some movement on the first floor. It was already past dinner time. Chen Feifan listened carefully and found that someone seemed to be chatting. He thought there might be something going on and hurried downstairs.
Not far from the stairs, there were about twenty people sitting around the place where they used to eat. Seeing so many people gathered around, Chen Feifan also became interested and sat down quietly beside the crowd. As soon as he sat down, the waiter brought a pot of tea, a cup and a plate of peanuts. Place it gently in front of Chen Feifan.
"Sir, please use it slowly." The waiter said softly with a smile. Although the tea was crude and the peanuts were only a small dish, everyone had it, and there was no cashier. I had never thought that such treatment could be offered in an inn. After thanking him softly, Chen Feifan sat there and listened quietly to the conversation of this group of people.
There was an old man in the crowd, about sixty years old, with gray hair, a thin face, and a white beard on his chin. He was sitting in the middle of the crowd and talking nonstop; there was also a middle-aged man, about forty years old. , with a rough face and a shaggy beard, chatted happily with the old man by asking and answering questions; the rest of the people also listened with interest and chimed in with a few words from time to time.
"I heard that the Zhengtian Gang is gone and now the world is dominated by the Dark Wind Alliance." The middle-aged man said casually. Others may not listen to what they heard. After all, judging from the clothing and dress of the people here, most of them are passers-by and businessmen who come here to do business. I am afraid there are not many people who travel around the world. But when Chen Feifan heard this, what happened? Will not care.
"Not necessarily." The old man sitting face to face with the middle-aged man said, "The Zhengtian Gang is not the only one who has the right path in Wulin."
"But the Zhengtian Gang used to be the largest gang in the martial arts world, and it also led the righteous way of the martial arts. Now it is destroyed by the Dark Wind Alliance for some reason. It is conceivable that there is no one else in the righteous way of the martial arts who can compete with the Dark Wind Alliance. They are leaderless. I have no ability at all in the righteous way." The middle-aged man said disapprovingly.
The old man didn't speak, just shook his head, smiled, and then took a sip of the tea in his hand.
"Lao Zhang. Isn't Lao Huang right?" A person sitting next to the middle-aged man asked the old man.
Seeing everyone looking at him quietly, the old man put a peanut into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He enjoyed the looks and was very satisfied with everyone's attitude towards him. He waited for the peanut to be eaten. Then he opened his mouth and asked like an old man: "I wonder if everyone knows about Casting Villa?"
Everyone nodded. The best iron weapons come from Casting Villa. I am afraid everyone in the world knows this.
"Then do you know that Casting Mountain Villa is also the righteous path of martial arts, and its status is not weaker than that of Zhengtian Gang." The old man said with a smile.
Except for a few people who looked calm, most people looked surprised. No one expected that a blacksmith gang was also a sect of the righteous martial arts, and was on par with the Zhengtian Gang.
"What Lao Zhang means is that even if the Zhengtian Gang is gone, Wulin Zhengdao still has a Forging Villa, which is enough to compete with the Dark Wind Alliance?" The middle-aged man's expression clearly disagreed with the old man's opinion.
The old man smiled and nodded: "The righteous way of martial arts is not so easy to be destroyed. Although the Zhengtian Gang is big, there is not just one Zhengtian Gang."
It seems that this old man is quite familiar with the righteous way of martial arts, but Chen Feifan has no impression of him. At such a young age, he knows several sects of the righteous way of martial arts, so even if he is a member of the martial arts world, he should not be a disciple of the sect.
"What Lao Zhang said is absolutely true." The middle-aged man smiled and was not in a hurry to refute.
The two of them went back and forth and talked a lot, nothing more than some good and bad things about Foundry Villa. Chen Feifan thought it was a bit funny. These people were not from the world of martial arts, but they actually talked about the affairs of the martial arts world. Many of them were just hearsay, but they spoke clearly and truthfully. It seems that these people just treat these so-called Jianghu affairs as a topic after dinner. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard the old man say: "This is my first time here. I didn't expect that this ghost town is really..." It’s worthy of the name.”
