Barrier of Light

"The Forbidden Library is open to everyone..."

The old man's eyes became profound.

"If the answers in the Forbidden Library can only be seen by 'destined people', then Guangming City's blocking and prohibition is actually meaningless."

Meng Xizhou said: "I hope everyone in the world can see the miracle left by this 'God of Destiny'."

Everything depends on cause and effect.

Those who can be seen and those who should be seen will naturally see them.

If you can't see it, if you shouldn't see it, you know nothing.

"It's a big ambition."

The old man said softly: "But the miracles of the God of Destiny are always reserved for a few people. Even if I lift the restrictions and open this forbidden library to the outside world... those who can gain anything are destined to be only a very small number of people. I I cannot agree to your request because it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources in Guangming City."

Meng Xizhou continued: "Then what if... it is open to a 'very small number' of people?"

The old man smiled.

"So your request has been for the 'very few people' from the very beginning."

He thought for a moment and asked: "If I agree, who do you want to enter the Forbidden Library?"

"My previous request was serious. If we can open the library so that everyone in the world can see it, it would be a great wish and a great blessing." Meng Xizhou said slowly: "But I also know that now Guangming City has exhausted all its resources. There is only a dead lamp left with power, and the radiance it can emit is limited. I hope that the ban on the library can be put aside for the time being, so that people with lofty ideals and virtue can pick up the wisdom left by fate."

She said seriously: "I hope Gu Shen and Gu Nanfeng can enter the Forbidden Library. If only these very few people can get the guidance of fate...then the two of them will most likely be the so-called 'very few'."

She looked into the light.

This look was very firm.

The old man said: "If I refuse, you will definitely make this request again until I agree."

Meng Xizhou said: "Yes. Although this is very rude, this is my last insistence."

"I can promise you."

The old man said gently: "Since it is a gift left by the God of Destiny, no matter whether it is locked in the library or not, it will be seen by the people who should see it sooner or later."

Meng Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"As a condition for agreeing to your request, I hope you will do something for me."

The old man raised his head and looked in the direction Meng Xizhou came from.

…

…

After the goddess stepped onto the lake and left, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Among them, the most anxious one is Batu, the third elder of the temple.

Batu paced back and forth by the lake, restless.

He was waiting for more than just Meng Xizhou.

The Great Elder and Song Ci were both on the other side of the lake... He wanted to know how the Great Elder was doing. No matter what happened, why was there no news at all on the other side of the Red Lake?

On the other side, Gu Shen was very calm.

The most important thing he had to do tonight had been completed.

But he was also curious.

What he is curious about is what is the situation in Guangming City today. The sky is almost broken, but the God of Light hasn't appeared yet?

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the fog in the center of the Red Lake dispersed, and Song Ci walked back alone.

"Song Ci...you are finally back!"

Batu rushed forward. He was very anxious, but after thinking about it, he could only ask indirectly: "Did you...didn't you see anyone else?"

The drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Song Ci knew what the third elder wanted to ask.

He said calmly: "I saw Miss Meng."

The third elder was startled, and then asked: "What else?"

"there is none left."

Song Ci grinned. He would not tell anyone what happened in the mist of the Red Lake so easily.

Batu didn't get the answer he wanted, so he quickly asked: "You didn't see the Great Elder? Then how did your trial end?"

"I'm sorry, I gave up the trial on my own initiative."

Song Ci said calmly: "I am not interested in the bright fire, so I only left half of the way and then came back. I can swear on the name of Huazhi that these two sentences are true."

"The name of the banner?"

It was the first time Batu heard someone swear by this thing.

His face turned red and he felt aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything else.

After receiving this reply, he felt very uneasy and had a rather ominous premonition.

An idea popped up in Batu's heart.

Great Elder... won't encounter any accidents, right?

He knew that Song Ci was very strong, but no matter how strong he was, it was the Red Lake after all. Could the Lord God have seen something happen to the great elder?

Not long after.

A second figure walked out of the mist of the Red Lake.

Still not a great elder.

But Meng Xizhou.

"My Lady Goddess, have you seen the Great Elder..."

Batu still walked quickly to greet him, but this time he was interrupted by Meng Xizhou as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I saw it."

Meng Xizhou glanced at Batu and said coldly: "He is already dead."

"???"

Baturu was struck by lightning and froze in place.

The next moment, Meng Xizhou's voice echoed over the Red Lake.

"The great elder of the temple, Gao Yi, seriously violated the law of light, stole the blood of the [immortal], murdered the lives of innocent people, brought chaos to Xizhou, and shaken faith! This is an unforgivable sin, and Lord God has punished him!"

A woman's brilliant voice is like thunder.

This news was so shocking that the entire temple was in an uproar. Those Holy Inquisitors who had always obeyed the orders of the Great Elder couldn't believe it at all.

If it wasn't the person who spoke, it was the goddess of the temple.

If it were another person, he would probably be taken down on the spot and treated as a slanderer.

"The evidence is at the bottom of the heart-washing pond!"

Meng Xizhou stretched out his hand to invite him.

boom!

Countless lights extend from the mist of the Red Lake.

I saw the water in the Heart-Cleaning Pool not far from the Red Lake suddenly exploded, and the "immortal bodies" buried at the bottom of the Heart-Cleaning Pool were pulled out by the glow in the sky... Along with these bodies, there were also Those disasters and ominous things that were hidden deeply should have dissipated after Gao Yi's death, but due to the suppression of the Xinxinchi formation, these disasters dissipated very slowly.

Now I see the light.

These undead people who died in vain quickly emerged and dissipated together with those disasters! They ushered in their own rest!

"The corpse in the heart-washing pool, what's going on?"

"No wonder some people felt the disaster in the heart-washing pool..."

"These corpses were all buried by Gao Yu?!"

Among the onlookers, voices of emotion once again erupted.

They really didn't expect that the "liveliness" tonight would be so exciting, with waves rising again and again. Under the seemingly peaceful Guangming City, there turned out to be a turbulent undercurrent that never stopped for a moment.

Looking at these corpses, Batu's face suddenly turned pale.

He didn’t know anything about the Xinxin Pond!

The great elder actually did such a dirty thing?

Now that these evidences are in front of him... there is no room for him not to believe it, let alone for him to defend!

If the great elder commits such a crime, and if he dares to stand on the same side, won't he also be punished next?

Batu sighed softly, lowered his head silently, and said no more.

He knew that no matter what happened tonight by the Red Lake, it would have nothing to do with him.

With Meng Xizhou's waving movements, a large amount of radiance of light was swept away from the Red Lake. The quantity and essence of those radiances were definitely beyond Meng Xizhou's control... Obviously, Lord Shenzuo is still alive, and using other means A way to meet all living beings. At this moment, under the reflection of the [Deep Sea], every onlooker can see the glow gathering above Meng Xizhou's head.

Although the God of Light did not appear.

But these glows...are equivalent to his appearance.

"Lord God has been paying attention to the undercurrent of Guangming City, but because he is seriously ill, it is inconvenient for him to appear in a weak body."

Meng Xizhou saluted the people on the banks of the Red Lake, "Now, on the last day of the Holy Scripture, we can wipe out all the remnants of those who rebelled against the party... All of you who have worked hard gathered in the temple today to witness this unspeakable turmoil. The filthiness of the Heart Washing Pool really makes you laugh."

Everyone sighed.

Even the Holy Judges sighed with emotion.

turmoil……

None of them noticed the slightest turmoil.

Tonight seems to be the same as every night before, except that there is no new sun rising after sunset...

After calming people's hearts, Meng Xizhou saluted again, but this time she was not facing the crowd by the Red Lake, but was facing one person alone.

Gu Shen.

Meng Xizhou said softly: "Mr. Xiao Gu, regarding Jia Wei's assassination... Lord Shenzuo apologizes deeply. He did not know that such a thing happened in Sangzhou Cave back then."

Bullshit!

Gu Shen's expression remained unchanged, but he would not believe such nonsense.

After Jia Wei assassinated himself, he returned to Xizhou and was awarded officials and titles. He was awarded countless titles and rewards, all the way to the top.

What [Barrier], what [Shield of Western Continent], what [Red Lake Garrison]...

Could the God of Light know about the assassination in Sangzhou Cave?

"No problem."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Who hasn't made a mistake yet? The grudges from six years ago have been settled tonight... Lord God did not intervene, so Gu is already grateful."

"I apologize."

Meng Xizhou hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a complicated expression, "Master Shenzuo would like to invite you to sit at the end of the other side of the Red Lake."

As soon as these words came out, the Red Lake became noisy again.

Not all of them are as discerning as Batu, who can see what the light summoned by Meng Xizhou means.

The red lake is closed by heavy fog. Such a major change occurred today. The god did not show up. Maybe he is really seriously ill?

But so far, they have not seen the God of Light...

If you don't see something with your own eyes, you can't judge it to be true.

But at this moment Meng Xizhou brought an invitation from the other side of the Red Lake——

The spectators at the Red Lake at this moment all recognized one person from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Shen!

Gu Shen looked back slightly and saw the many eyes falling on him, Dongzhou, Beizhou, the Gu family mission, and the night watchmen scattered everywhere.

Of course, there are many casual cultivators whose names he cannot name and whose backgrounds he cannot tell.

And those extraordinary beings who are not at the Red Lake, but are watching this place through the [deep sea].

Everyone wants to know the "current situation" of the God of Light.

If they couldn't see the light, Gu Shen could see it.

This can be regarded as fulfilling the "wish" of these people tonight from the side.

"Since Lord God wants to see me..."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Then please ask Miss Meng to lead the way."
