Barrier of Light

A long wind blew through the alley.

Two young people were walking in the dim night of the old city. The wind blew through the hem of the woman's long skirt and the folds of the man's suit. Neither of them walked very fast.

Tipsy.

Lu Nanjin had a faint blush on her cheeks after drinking "Lion Sobering Up". Pure spiritual elements were extracted and soaked in alcohol. The entrance was acceptable, but the aftertaste was very strong.

Her eyes were a little dazed, and she walked slowly in the alley, holding on to the wall, as if she had walked back to the night many years ago.

Song Ci put his hands behind his head and babbled with a complicated expression: "They say that men who make girls drink alcohol in the middle of the night are not good people... so I just wanted to have a drink by myself at first."

Looking at the slender figure in front of him who was swaying as he walked, Song Ci said cautiously: "You snatched the wine yourself. When you go back, don't complain to the madam."

"Um."

Lu Nanjin looked hazy and softly spit out a syllable from his nose.

He was indeed drunk.

Song Ci had a big headache.

Not everyone in this world is Gu Shen, who can drink a whole bottle of Shi Xuanju and look like a normal person. A normal extraordinary person will become "tippy" after two sips, and will be cut off if he drinks too much.

But Lu Nanjin didn't drink much...she just drank a small cup.

"This is what Lao Lu left behind." Nan Jin suddenly stopped and murmured softly: "I was still a child at that time and was not allowed to drink... This was the first time I drank the 'Lion Sober'."

Song Ci was silent. He stopped talking and listened quietly.

Sometimes...it depends on the person whether he or she is drunk or not.

Want to get drunk, or don’t want to get drunk.

Lu Nanjin, carrying her long skirt, walked along the long night wind through the alley, stroking the rough stone walls along the way. She had walked this road many times, and every time before, it was with Lao Lu...

The alley is still there and the night breeze is still there.

But Lao Lu is no longer here.

"I miss him..."

Lu Nanjin, who had drank a cup of wine, lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. She held on to the stone wall and slowly sat down with her back to her. She looked up at the sky in the narrow alley, the dim night and the starlight, and murmured word by word. Repeat, spitting out tired thoughts: "I miss him..."

Song Ci also sat down.

The crow didn't drink much... The lion's sobriety was far from enough to make him drunk, but tonight it made him in a trance.

"I miss Lao Lu too..."

I wanted to say something I had been holding back for a long time, and I wanted to use the strength of the lion to sober up and say it out at once, but after finishing the drink, all those words drifted away in the wind, and I don’t know where they went.

My mind was empty.

Just like the sky tonight, the remaining stars and the wind.

"Um……"

There was another very soft murmur, humming from the nasal cavity, which sounded very nice.

Song Ci felt that the tip of his nose was itchy and he wanted to sneeze. He came to his senses and gently stretched out his hand to scratch. His arm suddenly froze in mid-air... It was hair that was blowing in the wind, and there was a warm head resting on his shoulder. Come over.

So he just maintained this posture stiffly, holding back the sneeze.

Nan Jin's breathing became soft and even.

Song Ci leaned against the cool stone wall of the alley. He sat silently for a while, then gently raised Nan Jin's head at an angle, took out his arm, took off his suit, and draped it in front of her.

So be it……

Nothing more needs to be said...

This...is also good...

…

…

Sunlight shines in through the wooden windows and falls on the surface.

After a night's rest in the guest bedroom of the old house, Gu Shen opened his eyes and practiced the Awakening of Insect Breathing Technique all night long, which made him extremely energetic and made him feel light after getting up.

Come to the courtyard.

Zhou Jiren entered the house at some unknown time. He was standing under the banyan tree, with his hands behind his back, as if...appreciating the tree.

"teacher……"

Gu Shen came to Mr. Shu's side.

"Did you see anything?" Zhou Jiren asked.

Gu Shen looked at it intently for a moment and shook his head.

He followed the other person's gaze and saw that at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the banyan tree was not withered, but its branches were still evergreen. Other than that, he couldn't see any other differences.

Extraordinaries who complete the twelve-level trial in the deep water zone will be awarded titles by the federal government, and Zhou Jiren's title is "Towering Tree", and each title has its own unique meaning.

Obviously, [Holy Wood] is a top-notch natural supernatural ability.

If it is further divided into details, it is related to wood, forest, leaves and so on.

Zhou Jiren said softly: "A few days ago, I read a book of strange stories from ancient times. There was a very interesting sentence in it... leaves can be evergreen in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but people will not live forever after aging, sickness and death."

Gu Shen listened carefully.

"Even if extraordinary people can go against the laws of nature... they still have to obey some iron laws. If you want to take the road of evergreen, you are doomed to go very slowly." Zhou Jiren said meaningfully: "To be a towering tree, it can last for hundreds of years. A bright epiphyllum lasts only one night."

"Okay, you can realize it yourself." The teacher changed the topic and said: "A file came from the deep sea... You can take a look."

The file is not long.

The general content is that in a certain church in Nanzhou, a humanoid monster broke into... The monster knelt down in front of the icon, repented, and was eventually sanctioned and died.

The priests and nuns reported this to the Church... and the Deep Sea received the message.

The accompanying picture shows the death of the humanoid monster. There is no obstruction, so it looks a bit bloody. The humanoid "monster", with his hair disheveled, is kneeling in front of the icon, like a burning wax statue, melting all over.

"This is……?"

Gu Shen frowned.

"Xiao."

Zhou Jiren spoke concisely and to the point, "Deep Sea sensed the spiritual element of blood and fire at the scene, and extracted and compared it... This is the source of the long-term turmoil in the metropolitan area, that wisp of blood and fire. And in the remains of this monster, Nan The priests in Europe also discovered a bloody compass."

Gu Shen quickly took out the compass.

Today's compass seems to have become a vulgar object and seems to have lost its spirituality.

Indeed, no matter how much I push it... there is no response.

"The church in Nanzhou promoted this incident as a 'sacred image' that inspired evil spirits, but in fact... this 'evil spirit' did not kneel down willingly to repent. It was his last struggle. He went through a lot during his lifetime. The pain finally happened to break into the church, and here... burned out the last of his life."

"this……"

Gu Shen was a little confused.

In the Liberty Auditorium, he shot Zhou Yu away with a single shot, but the string controller behind the scenes was still alive.

And...should live well.

But just one night later, the news of Xiao's death came!

The news was too sudden, and he still couldn't react. If Xiao Xiao died, then the mission of the special investigation team... would also be over?

"How did Xiao Xiao die?" Gu Shen looked at the file again and still found it incredible.

"He..."

A joking and mocking smile appeared on Zhou Jiren's face, "I provoked an existence that I shouldn't have provoked."
