Barrier of Light

The dark source matter shrouded like clouds.

And where these extraordinary sources condensed, broken black spots appeared one after another.

Gu Shen finally understood why he felt so uneasy when he stared into the darkness.

Where is the wonderland here?

This is simply a devil's cave!

This "Holy Temple Mountain" is full of black spots where order has collapsed. One more look at it will make you feel numb. If it weren't for the [Lantern], ordinary people would accidentally enter it and take a wrong step, and they would probably be crushed to pieces. .

Gu Shen was still frightened. Thinking back to Li Qingsui's flying figure, he really didn't expect that... this little girl would be so courageous.

Take a deep breath.

After calming down, Gu Shen looked at the landscape and waterfall curtain cave in the distance. Under the blazing fire, a slender figure could be vaguely seen.

The slender figure seemed to raise his hand in a "please" gesture and spoke softly, "You're welcome, Mr. Gu."

Gu Shen stared at Li Qingci, shook his head and said, "I don't understand... what are you talking about."

Blazing Fire's ability to absorb disordered source matter is its biggest secret.

He didn't know what the woman in front of him meant by inviting him here... Even if the other party had no ill intentions, it was impossible for him to follow the words.

Li Qingci laughed, as if this was the response she expected.

She asked patiently: "Mr. Gu... are you interested in listening to a story?"

Gu Shen calmed down.

He just felt that the woman in front of him, her tone of voice, and her words were like those of an ancient person hundreds of years ago.

Is it because of inheritance or other reasons?

Gu Shen found a cool boulder, sat down, and replied patiently, "The goddess just said it doesn't matter."

This title made Li Qingci helplessly shake her head.

"It has been nearly 20 years since the establishment of Qingzhong. During these 20 years, the Nagano area has been in good weather and peaceful. Whether it is the ruling office, the command post, the prison... or the five families responsible for guarding the Snow Forbidden City, they all feel an unprecedented sense of security. 'Safety'."

“But before Qingzhong was built, this was not the case here.”

The misty voice in the mountains and fields is very ethereal.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, I just went to Qingzhong during the day and met Master Qianye. I must have also seen the ruins of the colossus, right?" Li Qingci suddenly asked.

"I see." Gu Shen nodded slowly.

The ruins were so impressive that even through the majestic mist, one could still feel the majesty of the huge stone statue and its own insignificance.

"Six hundred years ago, before the five families moved to Nagano...the ruins of the Colossus already existed."

Li Qingci said quietly: "And the years of existence of the 'Shrine Mountain' are as old as the remains of the giant statue... In fact, you can also see that this wonderful place has long been on the verge of collapse. Countless predecessors of the Li family We spent our efforts and lives to suppress the 'Shrine Mountain'."

Gu Shen was startled.

He stared at the figure of the woman living deep in the curtain hole, and suddenly thought of what Li Qingsui said.

"Sister is the greatest and hardest working person in the world."

He looked at the curtain hole again and no longer felt that it looked like a landscape painting.

It's a prison in a devil's cave.

"In this generation...the person responsible for guarding Shenci Mountain is me."

Li Qingci smiled and said: "Compared with the title of 'goddess', I prefer 'protector'. Because what our Li family has protected in the past generations is 'goddess', 'god son'... or 'god fetus'. "

"The divine fetus..."

Gu Shen was a little confused.

He has never seen such a woman... She spoke in a refined tone, as if she came from distant ancient times.

And the words used are also very unfamiliar.

"Master Qianye of Qingzhong is proficient in 'astrology'... and the technique inherited from Li's distant past is called 'prayer technique'. The two have the same purpose, but they also have certain aspects. They're not quite the same. The former can only do divination, while the latter can 'turn the imaginary into reality'."

Hearing this, Gu Shen was shocked.

Turn fiction into reality?

Li Qingci smiled and said: "The ancestor who suppressed the wonderland of Shenci Mountain used the 'Prayer Technique' and made a great wish. He prayed that this disaster mountain would be able to suppress the black spot of the collapse of order. , can give birth to a 'divine fetus'. When the wonderful realm collapses and the temple mountain cannot bear the divine power, the divine fetus can come to the world and save the Li family from danger."

"After that great wish was made... the 'extraordinary sources' in the mountains and fields began to entangle with each other. They are still growing and will one day destroy the entire temple mountain, but the arrival of this day has been greatly delayed. It’s like, you see it.”

Tangled with countless black spots.

This is a scene that looks extremely scary, but in fact, these black spots are entangled with each other... but form a wonderful "balance", which is a miracle that cannot be described in words.

It's a miracle brought about by the magic of prayer.

"When I was eleven years old, I came to Shenci Mountain and started practicing the 'Prayer Art' with my father..." Li Qingci said softly: "After my father died, I stayed here alone. The Prayer Art requires a price. Yes, and I volunteered to use the temple as a prison in order to witness with my own eyes the great ambition of the ancestor’s divine fetus to be born.”

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Shen's forehead... Even if he had accepted that there were people in this world who could use extremely powerful extraordinary abilities to create "miracles", he still could not accept the existence of "wishing".

This is beyond the scope of my cognition.

Most importantly, this seems to be Lee's strength that has been passed down from generation to generation.

This is a kind of "extraordinary ability" that can be passed down and learned!

The ethereal sounds in the mountains and fields are like wind and fog.

"A few days ago, the wishing technique about the 'divine fetus' finally appeared, and it guided a picture..."

"This is why we meet here today."

"These are the causes and consequences."

Li Qingci said softly: "The prayer technique and the shrine mountain are the oldest secrets of the Li family. The fact that Celadon can express her heart and soul to Mr. Xiao Gu today... is enough to show her sincerity."

Gu Shen's expression was very complicated.

He opened his mouth but stopped talking.

It had only been two days since he came to Nagano... He had already met the young "leaders" of the five families in turn, and it had to be said that the attitude of Li Qingci, the guardian of the shrine, was the most sincere among them.

He is just an outsider and has never had the slightest contact with Li. Today is the first time he meets Li Qingci.

"Why?"

Gu Shen sighed and said slowly: "For such an important matter...as the protector of the temple, you can send people to observe and then make a decision slowly. You don't even know what kind of person I am."

In the gloom, someone lit a [lantern].

On the other side of the light, there is not a picturesque water curtain, but a dry cliff. A pale and thin woman in gauze clothes raises her hand and lights a lantern, illuminating her face.

That face... was very haggard.

In Gu Shen's "blazing" vision, it was a sickly, dying face surrounded by countless black energy.

"the reason is simple……"

Li Qingci smiled weakly and said, "Because Shenci Mountain can't wait any longer."
