Barrier of Light

"got windy?"

"Is there any?"

Su Ye pushed the wheelchair, and Yao Jin looked back at the direction from which the secret prison came. The barriers and mechanisms had been opened, and only darkness and depth could be seen there.

Yao Jin deliberately did not close it again.

He was waiting for Gu Nanfeng's arrival...but the gust of wind he expected did not appear.

A very weak wind came from the end of the secret cell. Yao Jin's eyes were a little confused. He didn't understand why there was wind there.

But he soon understood.

This was the wind caused by someone running. The [Heavy Armored Attendant] in the secret cell rarely moved around, so he was very panicked when he heard the sound of footsteps.

What's going on inside?

A few seconds later, a [Heavy Armored Attendant] ran over in a panic. This [Heavy Armored Attendant] was startled when he saw the Holy Son Su Ye.

This is a secret prison, not a temple.

[Heavy Armored Attendant] The direct superior is Yao Jin, not Su Ye.

So he thought for a second and then turned his gaze back to Yao Jin. The [Heavy Armored Attendant] stood silently and nervously sent out a ray of spiritual thought, telling him everything about the situation in the secret cell.

"..."

Yao Jin sat silently in his wheelchair. He sighed softly after hearing the news.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the secret cell was terrifyingly quiet.

"Um?"

Su Ye noticed the strangeness of this [Heavy Armored Attendant], but he was more interested in Yao Jin's sudden silence. There must have been a spiritual communication between the two people just now.

Since he deliberately avoided himself.

Then there is nothing to ask.

Just take a look and you'll know what's going on inside.

Su Ye quickened his pace.

The [Heavy Armored Attendant] wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Yao Jin's eyes. The last section of the secret prison was long and short. Su Ye walked quickly in the darkness, with lights and fires constantly burning on both sides, illuminating the dark darkness. secret road.

Uneasiness also welled up in his heart.

finally.

The last heavy door of the secret cell opened.

Two silver-sealed cells are next to each other. One of the cells is tightly closed, while the other one has its door open...

Su Ye stared at the cell in the unblocked state.

There, vaguely visible, a withered figure sat on the ground, lifeless.

The red blood flowed out along the ground.

The whole world seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.

…

…

Jia Wei, who was sitting in the red lake meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

He has been waiting for news from the secret prison today.

Now, he has waited.

But it wasn't "someone invaded", but... the second elder Yuan Yang committed suicide in the black silver secret prison.

Yuan Yang has a high status in the temple.

He is the younger brother of the great elder. He has served the throne of God in Guangming City for more than seventy years. He has experienced changes for more than half a century. Although he is older now, he is still in a high position.

he died.

The entire Guangming City will be shaken!

The person responsible for guarding Yuan Yang is Yao Jin. According to the original plan... Yuan Yang entered the secret prison in order to use the "bitter flesh trick" to gain Meng Xizhou's trust and try his best to find out the whereabouts of the [Holy Book], even if the mission If you fail, there shouldn't be any damage.

But just a few days later, he died? !

The news of Yuan Yang's death spread out of the secret prison and spread to all directions in Guangming City in an instant.

Every elder and Holy Inquisitor in the temple knew the news...

Including the great elder.

…

…

This heart-washing pool trial has reached its most important moment.

Song Ci finally entered the "Dream of Light".

The Great Elder led the disasters at the bottom of the heart-washing pool, preparing to gather his body and try Song Ci's depth in this dream of nothingness.

But at the moment when his strength gathered.

[Deep Sea] transmitted what happened in the secret prison to his inner lake.

this moment.

The great elder's mind suddenly trembled.

He could no longer concentrate, and he withdrew from the barrier and looked in the direction of the secret prison.

"Yuan Yang...is dead?"

The other side.

Song Ci, who was standing on the Guangming Golden Bridge, was ready to fight the shadows in the black fog... But suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and the dark shadows shrouded in the fog dissipated completely in an instant.

"What's going on? Ominous...disappeared?"

Song Ci was a little confused.

His expression was extremely solemn, and he did not act rashly. He still stayed in this dream to prevent the ominous invasion at any time.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

It wasn't until he was sure that the uneasy "breath of disaster" was completely gone that Song Ci dared to move forward. He never expected that this dream of a trial would be extremely simple. He walked along the Golden Bridge and soon reached the finish line.

At the end of the Golden Bridge, there is nothing.

This dream of the heart-washing pond is not a complete "dream of light."

Because this place is not a real Red Lake.

This is just a simple, man-made red lake... The so-called "Heart Washing Pool Test" is to determine whether the mind of an extraordinary person is pure.

The "Heart Washing Pool Trial" came to an end. Song Ci opened his eyes and looked at the extraordinary people around him who were getting up and moving.

He was slow to complete the trials of the Heart Bath.

When he looked up, many people had already left the place.

Those who passed the "trial" went to receive the Dream of Fire along with the Holy Judges waiting around to serve.

"Master Yi."

Song Ci reached out and called out to the nearest extraordinary person.

Young Master Yi from the Hongpu Group saw Song Ci waking up and hurriedly wanted to leave, but it was still a step too late.

A person of this level cannot be beaten, nor can he be offended.

When called out, he could only respond obediently.

Mr. Yi quickly put on a smile and said, "Brother Song."

"Did you see anything strange in your dream?" Song Ci frowned, looked at the water in the heart-washing pool, and asked seriously.

"Something strange?" Mr. Yi was stunned and shook his head: "I saw a golden bridge. When you reach the end, you have completed the trial."

Yes...this is the prelude to the dream of light.

Song Ci continued to ask: "After stepping on the Golden Bridge, you didn't see any strange figures?"

As soon as this statement came out.

Mr. Yi's face looked a little strange: "Human figure? You haven't encountered the 'disaster' that the great elder said, have you?"

"..."

Song Ci stopped talking.

He sat alone in front of the heart-washing pool. At the beginning of this dream, he thought that these disasters came from himself, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Once the disaster that happens to an extraordinary person breaks out, there is no room for recovery.

Judging from the situation just now, if you encounter the "black shadow", there will definitely be a battle.

But in the end, the disaster happened, and it dissipated without anything happening.

"It looks like the 'disaster' contained in the heart-washing pool."

He recalled what the Great Elder had said before, but there was one thing he still couldn't figure out. If there was a disaster in the water of the Heart Washing Pool that locked onto him, why did it suddenly dissipate?

Once this disaster is locked, will it disappear on its own?

"Why do I feel like this 'disaster' is controlled by humans?"

Song Ci narrowed his eyes.

He remembered Gu Shen's reminder that the temple has been looking for the [Immortal] in the past few years. In this heart-washing pool trial, the great elder is likely to take action against him.

So... the disaster just now was probably controlled by the great elder?

Thinking of this, Song Ci began to look for traces of the great elder.

He looked around to no avail.

He found a holy judge and got straight to the point: "I want to see the great elder of the temple."

"Sorry, Mr. Song, the great elder has left."

The Holy Judge's reply was very cold. Because Song Ci soaked in the Heart Washing Pool before, the Holy Judges here didn't want to talk to him. Now that the trial is over, no one is even willing to take the initiative to take him to receive the Dream of Fire. .

But Song Ci didn’t care about the “dream of fire” either.

He came to participate in the fire trial in Xizhou just to see what tricks the temple was playing.

"He left. Shouldn't he be the one presiding over such a major ceremony as the Heart Washing Pool Trial? Do you elders have any basic morals? How come you can't find anyone at the critical moment?"

Song Ci frowned and asked, "When did he leave?"

"..."

Naturally, there was no response to this inquiry.

The Holy Judge just stared at Song Ci coldly.

News of the second elder's death has spread within the temple...

Many people are immersed in grief, but the news has not yet been made public.

Everybody knows.

The First Elder and the Second Elder have a very good relationship. They have been brothers who have known each other for most of their lives. After so many years of ups and downs, they have fought against Pluto and the Northern Expedition against the Red Emperor together.

Now Elder Yuanyang is dead.

How could the great elder continue to preside over the heart-cleansing trial?

Song Ci looked at the angry look the Holy Judge cast on him and was confused. Finally, an elder came in person and took him away to receive the Fire Dream. This trial was finally over.

…

…

The wind stopped.

The silent world has become noisy.

The deep alleys of the secret prison are rarely visited on weekdays.

Nowadays, there are many more figures.

The extremely lively "Sacred Parade" was still being held in Guangming City. Those believers still didn't know what was going on. Some thoughtful people discovered that several blocks around it were blocked, and a large number of [Heavy Armored Attendants] appeared. As for the general public, The deep alley leading to the entrance to the secret prison is now even more surrounded by water.

The elders who had a place in the temple all came here.

They stood silently in the Holy Light Barrier, looking at the dark entrance to the secret cell, waiting for the final conclusion.

And outside the crowd, in the darkness where light cannot shine.

There was a weak residual wind, sweeping the fallen leaves and spinning them on the ground.

Gu Nanfeng watched this scene silently.

He looked back with a complicated expression and looked at the hand on his shoulder.

Behind him, there was deeper darkness.

There was actually a figure standing there.

When Gu Nanfeng reached out, the man standing further back in the darkness also stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder steadily and forcefully.

"If you choose to force your way into the secret prison, you may have a chance to successfully see Meng Xizhou... but you will never be able to take him out."

In the dark shadow, an evil ghost's face slowly emerged.

The evil ghost's face was very ferocious, but his tone was extremely gentle: "Look how many people have been welcomed into the secret prison in these few minutes?"

There was a slight pause.

The evil ghost smiled and said, "Yao Jin has been waiting for you. As long as you take one step forward... you will be beyond redemption."

"..."

Gu Nanfeng could only remain silent.

Because the evil ghost was right.

"I thought you saw his intention." The evil ghost continued.

"I know he's waiting for me."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "But I still want to give it a try... I can take hostages."

"You want to kidnap Su Ye and Yao Jin? It's useless. You can't leave the secret prison even if you hold them hostage."

The evil ghost shook his head and said: "Because they themselves are shadows. Even if they stand under the light, they still cannot change this fact. The meaning of the existence of shadows is to be able to contribute to the light one day."

Gu Nanfeng looked back at the dark and profound evil ghost mask.

"You...why do you want to help me?"

He asked seriously, word by word: "Who are you?"
