Barrier of Light

The car stopped in front of Qingzhong Cemetery.

At the same time, Gu Shen slowly left the spiritual link of "Ling Ling Yao".

Had a good nap.

The tiredness of the real world has dissipated a lot.

"I've blocked [Feng Tong] on this journey for you." Uncle Gao said, "Do you need me to pick you up on the way back?"

"Thank you, Uncle Gao."

Gu Shen smiled, "I won't bother Uncle Gao with the rest."

"That's quite polite." The little girl Qingsui joked, "Be careful of the Bai family squatting down on you."

Bai family?

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

"Bai Lu will never forget you."

Li Qingsui reminded: "Since Bai Chen suffered a loss at the hands of Uncle Gao last time, this crazy woman seems to have become much more at ease... But in fact, she is not the kind of person who gives up easily. She has not taken action during these days. It's probably 'waiting for action'."

"I know." Gu Shen nodded slowly.

Based on his understanding of Bai Lu, this should be the case.

The reason why he was able to live a good week in Chunyuguan was probably because Bai Lu did not act rashly for the sake of the "Gu family".

But... with that witch's character, she will come back sooner or later.

"Also...can you reveal more about it?"

Qingsui blinked his big eyes, "Why did you go to see Master Qianye?"

The tombkeeper is an "existence" that the five families want to see but cannot see.

She guards Qingzhong, is responsible for controlling the formation pattern of the cemetery, and condenses the extraordinary source of the Nagano area.

There is no such thing as saying that no one went to see the tomb keeper.

On the contrary, it is who the tombkeeper wants to see.

If Master Qianye doesn't want to see him, then no one can enter the inner tomb.

Gu Shen's visit to the Qing Tomb again will probably arouse speculation among the five families again...

"You said it wrong."

Gu Shen raised a finger and smiled, "It's not that I want to see Master Qianye, but Master Qianye wants to see me. As for the purpose of this trip, I said I don't know, do you believe it?"

Li Qingsui puffed up her cheeks and stared at the box in Gu Shen's hand.

"Look, if you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do about it." Gu Shen shrugged and added with a smile: "Ten thousand steps back... Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

After that, get off the car directly.

Gu Shen did not look at Li Qingsui's expression, but he guessed that the head of the Li family must be so angry that he gritted his teeth.

This time.

Gu Shen guessed wrong instead.

"Uncle Gao...you should be able to see what's in that box, right?"

After Gu Shen got off the car.

Li Qingsui sat in the back seat and rubbed her cheek. She looked at the Qingzhong Cemetery shrouded in fog in the distance and spoke softly.

"..."

Uncle Gao said softly: "Miss, people always have some secrets."

"certainly."

Li Qingsui lay beside the car window, looked up at the sky, and said quietly: "It's just that in Nagano, people don't like people with secrets... In other words, the Five Families don't like the existence of secrets."

On the clouds in the sky.

Densely packed, they are all [Wind Pupils].

"Can the authority of the head of the Li family erase the traces of this incident?" Li Qingsui suddenly said.

Uncle Gao was startled.

"Okay...but..."

Uncle Gao wanted to say.

But Miss, you are not the head of the family yet.

It is inappropriate to use the authority in advance and may cause some dissatisfaction from the Presbyterian Council.

"It's enough. Help me connect to the Deep Sea now. I want to use the authority of the future head of the family." Li Qingsui said calmly: "I don't want anyone to know that Gu Shen went to Route 447, and I don't want anyone to know that he went to Route 447." Come to clear the tomb. I want to erase all traces of this period of time and make these 12 hours of Gu Shen's life completely blank."

Uncle Gao was silent for a moment and said: "Judging from the car at Shenci Mountain... Gu Shen may have to come to the tomb clearing many times."

Do I need to use the authority of the family head every time?

"The scepter was born just for people to use, isn't it?"

Li Qingsui turned around and looked at Uncle Gao.

She smiled, "What's more, I don't like a 'bright' world like Nagano. There are eyes in all directions and there are no secrets."

…

…

"You have entered the deep water area with extremely high [authority] and are searching the database for your whereabouts in the last 12 hours."

Not long after Gu Shen entered the cemetery.

Chu Ling's voice sounded in his mind.

"...?"

He frowned: "So fast? Can you find out who it is?"

"[Source Code] has restricted permissions in the advanced search. I cannot find out the other party's true identity... But it is not difficult to judge from the logic of defense. The other party's permissions are very high." Chu Ling said solemnly: "At the same time, you can I am sure that this person cannot be Shiro, she does not have such a level at all. This is at least the authority that only the head of the five Nagano families can have."

"Wait...the heads of the five families?"

Gu Shen just realized something.

Chu Ling's report sounded again: "This authority is deleting your whereabouts... This is not investigating, but helping you deal with the aftermath."

"It's Li Qingsui!"

Gu Shen immediately understood who the owner of this authority was...

When he got into Uncle Gao's car and arrived at the Qing Tomb, his whereabouts records were destroyed.

It is clear--

This is Li Qingsui helping himself to "fix the aftermath"!

"It seems that I don't need to contribute any more." Chu Ling said: "The records of you leaving Chunyuguan, going to Highway 447, and then to Qingzhong have been completely erased... No one knows where you have been for the past half day or who you have met. .”

"No……"

Chu Ling said slowly: "To be precise, no one in [Fengtong] knows what happened during this period."

Those eyes that are emotionless and won't rest.

Just capture what happens on the ground.

"For the five people who pay close attention to your movements, your movements are not difficult to guess. It's just that these things have moved from the table to the ground." Chu Ling seemed to understand something and said with emotion: "Li Qingsui did this. Purpose……"

"It's to divert attention."

Gu Shen said slowly: "She is helping me attract the attention of the five families."

The head of the Li family erased part of his whereabouts.

What Gu Shen did for a long time became a secret... But to the five families, as long as something happened, it would not be a secret. They would guess what kind of deal Gu Shen and Li made.

"When a magician misleads the audience, he always deceives the audience's 'eyes' and makes them look away from the really important place." Gu Shen's voice was a little complicated and said: "This little girl Li Qingsui is not simple..."

Especially, she did these things without saying hello to herself.

Do good deeds without leaving a name.

This is to sell yourself a favor silently.

"The data has been deleted... I guess the guys in the real-time monitoring room are dumbfounded now." Chu Ling felt a little funny: "They can't capture your traces, and they are not sure whether 'Qingzhong' is the final station or a Blind method. Because there are no 'eyes', everything that happens after that can only be guessed."

The most unreliable thing in the world is speculation.

Gu Shen raised his head.

He looked at the clouds in the distance, and suddenly understood why Li Qingsui asked Uncle Gao to release the field and block the [Wind Pupil] when traveling with him.

"Because you don't like those eyes staring at you... so you poke them blind?"

In public, every move, word and deed she makes under [Wind Eyes] is the performance of the head of the Li family.

And after Uncle Gao opened up the field.

She is the innocent Li Qingsui.

Gu Shen sighed: "What a tempered little girl."

"You owe her a favor."

Chu Ling said seriously: "I will remember it for you."

"Then I'll trouble you, dear Miss Chu."

Gu Shen smiled, bowed to the air, and said: "Next... I am going to enter the inner tomb of Qing Tomb. The spiritual link will be interrupted. Do you have any other instructions?"

The girl in the carriage blushed slightly.

What dear!

Nasty!

She sighed and said: "Nothing, retreat from the court!"

A slight rustling sound of electricity passed through his skull.

Chu Ling took the initiative to disconnect the link before Gu Shen entered the inner tomb.

…

…

Master Qianye slowly opened his eyes.

There seem to be two completely different colors flowing on the tabby cat mask.

One black, one white.

One life, one death.

As she opened her eyes, the two colors on the mask merged again.

"You're faster than I thought."

The tombkeeper looked at Gu Shen who was carrying the box and said softly: "It shouldn't be easy to collect these materials... It's even more difficult to send them to the tomb silently."

As far as she knew, some of the materials on that list could only be mobilized by Beizhou.

"It's all done."

Gu Shen came to the tree and slowly put the box down, "But it's not easy to send these materials to the Qing Tomb. The box only contains a part of them... The remaining materials, and a large cart, may need to be divided into many parts." times before it can be sent in.”

"Repairing a clear grave is not a trivial matter and cannot be accomplished in a day."

The guardian of the tomb said seriously: "Next, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a few more times..."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's a small problem. It's hard to fool those guys outside..."

There must be a reason why I come to clear the tomb again and again.

The tomb keeper just smiled.

She just looked at Gu Shen quietly.

They had only met once, but she knew Gu Shen so well... It was obvious that she wanted to ask for something like this.

"Master Qianye, please don't look at me like this."

Gu Shen smiled bitterly.

That tabby cat mask made me feel embarrassed.

He said sincerely: "You don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me outside... This time I came in, thanks to Li Qingsui's whereabouts records that were erased with authority, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. If I come here a few more times, sooner or later I will be suspected .”

These words are spoken from the bottom of my heart.

"Only when the name is correct can the words be correct." Gu Shen said slowly.

"What name do you want?" The tombkeeper said straight to the point.

Gu Shen coughed quietly.

He smiled shyly and said, "I want to learn... divination from you."

Then there was silence.

There was a long silence.

The wind and clouds in the wilderness of the inner mausoleum are blowing, and the grass blades are flying. The tomb guardian sitting cross-legged upside down seems to have turned into a dead thing like a stone sculpture. He does not speak or move, just silent.

It was as if...the soul had left the body.

Gu Shen scratched his head and said: "If you can't learn the true meaning, you can just learn a little bit..."

There was silence for tens of seconds again.

"It's not that I won't teach you."

The tombkeeper finally spoke, and the eyes under the tabby cat mask regained their agility. She shook her head and said, "I just 'saw' your qualifications... you can't practice my divination."

It turns out that the silence just now was not hesitation, but "watching" myself in a special way.

Gu Shen noticed Master Qianye's words.

It's not that it's not suitable.

But... unable to practice.

"What does this mean?" He was a little confused.

"If divination is so simple... then there are only two people in the entire five continents who can use it?" The tomb guard stretched out a finger, shook it slowly, and said: "You have to know that this world is always fair. .The more you get, the more you give...the two sides of the scale are always equal. This is true of me, and so is the 'prophet' of the Tower of Central Continent."

She paused slightly.

"...the same is true for those who protect the Holy Mountain from the Li family."

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

"Divination requires giving up a lot..." The tombkeeper hesitated for a moment, then considered: "A lot of 'valuable items' that we should have. The more you pay, the more you see."

"For example? What does it cost?" Gu Shen asked cautiously.

The tomb keeper did not hide anything.

"This is a 'foreseeing art' that belongs to the wise. If you want to be an absolute 'wise', you must retain your spirit to the greatest extent and give up your body." She slowly lifted up a corner of her black patterned cloud robe and spoke in a very low voice. , asked word by word: "Are you willing to give up your body? In the true sense... give up your body."

A horrifying scene appeared.

The black robe was caught at one corner.

Then it was blown by the wind.

The tombkeeper showed one of his arms.

It was a withered forearm with only white bones left, with some remaining flesh and blood, fascia, and friction marks from the blade scraping on it.

"???"

Gu Shen was shocked.

"This is the food I put on the 'balance', and it is also the price of divination." Master Qianye slowly took back his sleeves and robes. The strong wind blew by, and the graceful body under the black robe was blown into a tight shape. But at this moment, Some are mind-numbing.

The price of divination is... giving up the body!

Cut the meat!

The forearm just now was probably not the most shocking part.

Today's Master Qianye, every part of his body...how many intact parts are there?

Or... is this just a skeleton?

"Do you still want to learn now?" the tomb guard said calmly, "If you want to learn... I can teach you. But the prerequisite is that you have to cut off a part of the flesh first. If you cut off a finger, maybe you can watch What’s going to happen tomorrow.”

"No...still not..."

Gu Shen looked a little pale.

He was really shocked.

How long can you live by cutting off your flesh and practicing divination? Even if he survives... let alone encountering Baixiu, if he fights Shen Li again, his whole body will probably be beaten to pieces.

This technique is indeed not suitable for me.

"Okay... let's go back to what happened before."

The guardian of the tomb was very satisfied to see Gu Shen's current expression.

"I have an idea about entering Qingzhong."

She smiled and said: "You want a 'name'... I can give you a name, an upright name."
