From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 140 Qinglian!

Traveling eastward, within a day's time, scattered human villages began to appear in front of Shen Luoxing's eyes, with hundreds of people in many and dozens of people in the few.

Unlike the large gathering places thousands of kilometers away, the clothes worn by these humans here seem to be in an earlier era, and the humans here also live a more primitive life.

However, they also seemed to have considerable connections with the outside world, at least when they saw Shen Luoxing, they would not take the initiative to attack Shen Luoxing.

For some reason, when passing through a large village with hundreds of people, a gray-haired old man, leaning on a cane, approached Shen Luoxing with the support of several young people, and tried to stop Shen Luoxing .

Seeing such a scene, Shen Luoxing naturally became curious, so he followed the other party's guidance and went to their village.

The old man first guided Shen Luoxing to park the horse in a sealed stable, and then brought Shen Luoxing into his home.

The old man's home is a house made of earth and stone. The beams are made of thick wood, supplemented by many thick trees as pillars. It is a very typical ancient building.

The house is not very big, there are only three rooms in total, one floor high, and the windows are completely made of wood. Once closed, no light can enter the whole house, and it is pitch black.

Just after Shen Luoxing followed the old man into the house, the old man turned around and gave instructions to the two young men who followed him in a language that Shen Luoxing could not understand. Through the investigation of the power of the soul, Shen Luoxing roughly understood the old man. They should be telling them to go home quickly.

Sure enough, after listening to the old man's words, the two immediately ran wildly, and disappeared on the street not long after.

Watching the two young men leave until their figures completely disappeared on the street, the old man turned around and closed all the doors and windows.

On the other hand, Shen Luoxing was quite surprised. Isn't the sky outside the house quite bright now? Why did you seal all the doors and windows in such a hurry?
Moreover, the windows are made of solid wood. Once all the doors and windows are closed, the whole house becomes a complete black box. It is fine for Shen Luoxing, who has powerful soul power, but one leg Inconvenient old man, why should he make himself uncomfortable?

"It's not that you want to close the doors and windows to prevent me from escaping so that you can kill and rob."

Some weird thoughts suddenly appeared in Shen Luoxing's mind, but they were pushed out by Shen Luoxing only for a moment.

After all, I don't look like an ordinary person who can be slaughtered by others. How can he, a frail old man, rob himself by himself?

There must be some other reason here.

Not long after, what happened next told Shen Luoxing the answer.

Under the probe of the power of the soul, in just a moment, the world outside the house, which was originally as bright as day, suddenly fell into darkness, and even the dots of stars hanging in the sky disappeared.

It was as if the whole world had suddenly changed its background. Seeing such an abrupt scene, Shen Luoxing turned his head and looked at the old man with puzzled eyes.

"Young man, you must have come from another great domain, right? In our ancient domain, since many years ago, there has been such a warning that every time the weather changes 33 times, the day and night will be reversed. The ancient evil god will descend on the earth and devour the believers who are not loyal to him, the only way to avoid this disaster is to hide well and don't go out!"

Although he still couldn't fully understand what the other party said, the feedback he got from the power of the soul made Shen Luoxing understand the other party's meaning clearly.

After slightly adjusting his pronunciation and language structure, adopting the local grammar, and changing a different accent, Shen Luoxing asked:
"Then no one has gone out and explored at a time like this?"

"Yes, why not? Basically, every ten years or so, there will be one or two young people who don't listen to advice, yelling every day that I can't help myself, and stay outside when the day and night are reversed. But in After 33 weather changes, we never saw them again."

After hearing the old man's explanation, Shen Luoxing let go of the idea of ​​going out to explore, and then asked another question that he had just discovered.

"I don't know how to calculate the changing time of the day?"

"This method has been circulated in our local area. Have you seen it before? There is a group of shining stars in the northern sky. There are 33 stars in total. Every time a constant period of time passes, one star will become dim, until 33 If all the stars are dimmed, this is a complete 33 time changes, and if you want to change from night to day, you will also go through 33 time changes, and the 33 stars will return to light again."

This is a timekeeping method that Shen Luoxing has never heard of, but it seems quite reasonable to have such a unique timekeeping method in such a unique world.

Originally, Shen Luoxing wanted to ask some more questions, but at this moment the old man suddenly made a silent gesture, and pointed out the door with his left hand.

Is there something outside the door?

Shen Luoxing felt a little puzzled, and then bent down to listen.

"Crack, click."

A series of sounds resembling those of soldiers in armor stepping on dead branches in a TV series sounded outside the door, as if something appeared in the dark night.

Subconsciously, Shen Luoxing wanted to push his soul power out of the house, but the sea of ​​consciousness that suddenly became stinging stopped Shen Luoxing.

"Can't I easily detect the outside with my current soul power? What happened outside?"

This sudden change caused Shen Luo Xingxin, who had relied on his own strength to be confident, to sink to the bottom of the valley.

I seem to be trapped by the night outside!
At this moment, the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness that had been stinging slowly regained its calm, and there were some unexpected changes in Shen Luoxing's mind.

First, an illusory green lotus swayed continuously in Shen Luoxing's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness. Then, with the dancing of this green lotus, the hymn he heard not long ago reverberated in Shen Luoxing's mind again.

Accompanied by this repeated hymn, Shen Luoxing felt a coolness in his mind, and he looked quite comfortable, and the power of his soul seemed to have improved to a certain extent at this time.

"So the hymn I heard before was caused by this green lotus in my mind?"

And this Qinglian Shen Luoxing is quite familiar, isn't this the Qinglian that got into her body on her own initiative and was digested and absorbed by herself?

Could it be that it has any connection with this world?
