Barrier of Light

Clear tombs and inner tombs.

Over the wilderness of the four seasons, the flowing clouds spread.

The leaves of the ancient trees are rustling.

The black robe hangs upside down, and the big sleeves sway in the wind.

"Crash, lala, lala -"

The tomb keeper wearing a tabby cat mask slowly opened his eyes and looked at a figure slowly approaching in the mist in the distance.

Gu Shen bowed.

"The speed of enlightenment is quite fast." Master Qianye said with a smile in his eyes, "I thought it would take a few more days for you to come to clear the tomb."

Gu Shen also smiled: "Mainly the trivial matters outside are more labor-intensive. Master Qianye, I'm still a little confused about the 'ancient text' of the last array pattern..."

He took out the drawings.

The study of ancient characters is different from the normal instillation of knowledge.

Logically speaking... this is a "spirit" that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. The presence of a teacher cannot substantially help students achieve breakthroughs, but asking the tombkeepers for advice is also rewarding.

Every time Gu Shen visualizes, he needs to consume mental energy.

Master Qianye, who directly controls the formation pattern, uses his mental power to enlighten him in his dreams... the efficiency will be much faster.

In addition, these formation patterns still need to be dismantled and pieced together. This process requires two kinds of efficiency: thinking hard by yourself and watching the disassembly process.

Divination requires a lot of calculation power.

The same goes for dismantling formation patterns.

The "computing power" of the tombkeeper is very huge. She sits alone in the tomb. It is said that divination has built a huge spider web that encompasses the entire five continents... And such huge computing power is used to The speed of dismantling the array pattern is extremely fast.

It can be said that this is the best teacher on the road of "cultivation of ancient Chinese literature", bar none.

A ray of fire burst out from Gu Shen's eyebrows.

Blazing fire outlined the symbols on the drawing, and he showed his thoughts on dismantling the formation patterns and piecing them together.

On the other side, the tomb keeper watched carefully.

Then give the answer.

"Maybe... you can try this combination..."

…

…

time flies.

The last time he stayed in Qingzhong for two days and one night, Gu Shen barely got much rest. He dismantled ten formations in total. This speed was actually not too slow... but Gu Shen was not satisfied.

As I understand more and more ancient texts, the dismantling of the Qingzuka Formation will become faster and faster.

He hoped that he could master the formation patterns of the entire Qingzhong as soon as possible.

After thoroughly digesting the ideas for dismantling these ten formations, Gu Shen let out a long breath, "Master... I actually don't understand something."

"About the Tomb Ghost." Gu Shen said seriously: "Why can he directly read the 'passive text'?"

"The existence of ancient texts is the biggest mystery in the world."

Master Qianye shook his head, "Even I can only understand a limited part...that is, part of the Qingzuka formation."

Even the people guarding the tomb don’t know the reason?

"The Tsuka Oni is a freak, a... real freak." Master Qianye pondered for a moment and said: "My divination skills cannot predict existences in taboo realms such as God's Throne and Fire, because of their power. Too strong. And the strange thing is that divination is also unable to predict the ghost of the grave."

Gu Shen could understand the first half of the sentence.

Divination and wishing are both "arts of equivalent exchange".

The former exchanges the body for the spirit, and the latter exchanges the life span for the cause and effect.

And the "existence" of the God Throne that transcends the mundane category will not be divination, nor will it be forcibly dragged into cause and effect... This is very reasonable!

But the second half of the sentence is really shocking.

Can the fate of Tsuka Oni be predicted by "divination"?

If these words spread, I'm afraid it will cause quite a stir... This unlucky guy has always been watched by big shots, whether in Nagano or Dadu, the Gu family and Huazhi have done many experiments, but the purpose of these experiments Just trying to figure out the lingering "ominousness".

Take ten thousand steps back.

Neither the Gu family nor Hua Zhi thought about the secrets that the ghost of the tomb would involve.

But looking at it now...

The truth behind Xing Yun's ominous entanglement is probably not something that can be described at the level of "a small disaster."

"You should have heard of [Old World]..."

Master Qianye suddenly thought of something, and she spoke seriously.

"I've heard of it." Gu Shen nodded.

This time, he really heard about it.

"No one in Wuzhou knows whether the [Old World] really exists... But over the years, those who are willing to believe in the existence of the [Old World] still believe in the existence of one thing - that is the [Eighth God's Throne] ."

"The eighth... throne?"

This is not the first time Gu Shen has heard this word.

"That's right. The Central Federation controls seven fire seeds... These seven fire seeds have created the greatest support of the five continents, which are the current seven thrones. Rumors say that the [fire seeds] controlled by the Central Federation are not complete. Somewhat incomplete."

Master Qianye spoke slowly, "And the remnants of [Fire] are in the [Old World]... [The Eighth Throne], which is the god of the old world. Maybe one day we will travel thousands of miles and find the so-called old world. I saw the lost fire, but if there really is such an existence as the [Eighth God's Throne], it's possible that he in turn...finds us."

Master Qianye said exactly the same thing as Tie Wu.

However, due to the arrival of the Golden God Realm and the miraculous resurrection of the Four Seasons Wilderness, Tie Wu mistakenly thought that he was the so-called "Eighth God's Seat"!

Gu Shen vaguely understood what the tomb guard meant: "You mean..."

"In terms of divination, the only things that cannot be predicted are fire and the divine throne."

Master Qianye said calmly: "Then the Tomb Demon...is it possible that it is related to the Eighth God Seat?"

Those lost ancient texts that no one can understand...

Tsukauki can understand!

Divination techniques that cannot predict the kind of fire must not fall on the head of a tomb ghost!

The combination of these coincidences... is no longer a coincidence.

"I... understand." Gu Shen took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brow, and tried hard to digest this huge amount of information.

"Of course, it's just a conjecture. Over the years, the search for the [Old World] and the discussion of the [Eighth God's Seat] are just castles in the air. Maybe these are just imaginations. People are just trying to conjure things that don't exist at all. Things... After all, after the collapse of Beizhou Fortress, we will lose our last home."

The guardian of the tomb said calmly, "Instead of accepting the fate of annihilation, it is better to believe that there is an illusory utopia like the [Old World] on the far other side."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Gu Shen calmed down, "I'm afraid we need more evidence about the life experience of Zhonggui... Just these two points can't prove anything."

Master Qianye nodded slowly.

"It's getting late...I'm going to repair the formation pattern."

Gu Shen picked up the box and walked towards the outer mausoleum again.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. The way of civility and martial arts is to relax." Master Qianye smiled, "Go to the entrance of the inner mausoleum of Qingzhong. There is a formation pattern there, which is very suitable for you to dismantle today."

…

…

Why do Master Qianye’s words sound meaningful?

Gu Shen followed the instructions and came to the entrance of the inner mausoleum.

The fog was thick.

This is the entrance to the ruins of the Colossus. Because of the heavy fog, it was almost impossible to tell the direction without the guidance of the tomb guardian... Gu Shen calmed down and released the blazing fire, and soon he found the location of the array pattern.

This formation pattern that Master Qianye said was "very suitable for dismantling by yourself" is located on a small hill.

Gu Shen abandoned distracting thoughts.

Undivided attention.

He entered a state of visualization and began to piece together these ancient texts smoothly... Perhaps it was because Master Qianye's reminder had a psychological effect, or perhaps it was because he had mastered the trick after some guidance.

The visualization, dream interpretation, and subsequent dismantling and reorganization of this formation went very smoothly.

In just an hour, Gu Shen completed the repair and comprehension of the formation pattern.

When he opened his eyes again, he was startled.

At some point, a shadow stood in the mist at the foot of the mountain.

The man was not tall, and looked a little thin... The fog was too thick, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked like he was about the same age as himself.

This guy...when did he come?

Even when he was visualizing the formations and immersed in the dream, his own blazing fire was always vigilant... With his own mental power, he didn't notice it?

But Gu Shen was not nervous.

The entire Qing Tomb is under the control of Master Qianye. If there is any danger, she will notify her immediately.

He somewhat understood what Master Qianye meant by his previous words.

The master deliberately arranged for himself to come here, hoping that he... could meet this person under the mountain at this moment?

The hill is not high.

But there is a layer of fog.

So the two people just looked at each other through a layer of mist.

After Gu Shen stood up, the young man from the mountain spoke: "I saw you meditating in meditation before... so I didn't bother you."

It’s because I’m afraid of disturbing my own thoughts…

"Thank you..."

Gu Shen smiled: "How long have you been waiting here?"

"Not long."

The mountain man just shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "I want to meet Master Qianye."

In Qingzhong, there are many people who want to see Master Qianye.

But at most they can only go to the outer mausoleum... it is a sacrificial cemetery that is open all year round. If you want to go to the inner mausoleum, you must get the approval of the tomb keeper, otherwise you will lose your way in this thick fog. Doomed to fail.

This young man is very knowledgeable.

He knew... that after stepping into Qingzhong, he would be seen by "Master Qianye".

If the master is willing to see him, then he will naturally give a voice of guidance.

If the master doesn't want to...

Then even if you step into the mist, there will be no results.

So he stood under the hill, separated by this layer of mist, neither taking a step forward nor taking a step back, just like Gu Shen in the state of visualization... like a tree in meditation.

Gu Shen felt helpless and spoke with his mental power, asking: "Master... are you still there?"

As expected.

Got no response.

After guiding himself to this point and completing the dismantling of the array pattern, the tomb guard completely silenced himself.

Obviously, this "no reply" attitude is an answer.

Gu Shen sighed and said to the people at the foot of the mountain: "I'm afraid Master Qianye doesn't want to see you."

The man just smiled and said nothing.

He tried hard to raise his head, trying to see clearly the figure wrapped in mist on the top of the mountain.

A bright white light lit up in those pupils, like a bolt of thunder and lightning, as if it was about to tear the darkness around Qingzhong into pieces. Unfortunately... no matter how bright and hot these pupils were, they could not penetrate the mist.

same.

Gu Shen also let out the blazing fire between his brows.

He was also a little curious about the identity of the "people under the mountain"... but looking through the fog, he saw nothing but chaos.

The two tried hard and looked at each other, but to no avail.

He couldn't see the thunder in his eyes.

He couldn't see the anger between his brows either.

The mountain man said: "It doesn't matter, I can wait."

After saying this, he sat down cross-legged and began the long wait.

What else does Gu Shen want to say...

"Since he is willing to wait, then let him wait."

Master Qianye, who had restrained his voice before, suddenly spoke.

She said to Gu Shen: "Go to the next place to repair the formation pattern..."

Gu Shen looked deeply at the people at the foot of the mountain.

He reminded: "Maybe if you wait a little longer, you can wait."

The people at the foot of the mountain nodded slowly.

…

…

Time flies.

After leaving the hill, Gu Shen ran around the inner mausoleum, repairing the formation patterns and studying ancient texts according to the instructions of the mausoleum guardian.

From one giant statue to another.

Gu Shen fell into a state of selflessness.

He forgot about external objects, and only saw obscure ancient texts and flying graphics in his eyes.

The sun rises and sets...a whole day has passed.

Another night falls.

Gu Shen had completed the comprehension of the five formations. His mental strength was extremely exhausted, and his head was slightly swollen and painful. This was a symptom of comprehending too many dreams.

Even with the Breath of Spring, it is impossible to maintain high-intensity mental energy consumption all the time.

Now...he needed to rest.

"That's all for today's study of ancient Chinese..."

The tombkeeper said: "You can go back, that person is still waiting for you."

Gu Shen was startled.

When the master guarding the tomb said going back, he did not mean leaving the tomb.

But go back to the previous hill.

She said that the mysterious young man she met through the fog...was he waiting for her?

Gu Shen came to the top of the mountain again with confusion.

Sure enough... there was a young figure sitting in the mist, who looked like an old monk in trance. Day and night passed, and he didn't move at all. This stubborn guy is actually waiting.

This determination is really admirable.

There are many people who want to come to Qingzuka to see Master Qianye.

There are many people who are willing to wait all day and night.

Sitting dry is not a reason to impress the tomb keeper.

But looking at this momentum...if he doesn't show up and the tomb guard doesn't speak, he will keep waiting.

Since Master Qianye has made up his mind not to see this visitor, why should he come to the mountain?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shen chose to speak.

"Friend, why do you insist on meeting Master Qianye?"

His voice penetrated the fog and swayed far away.

"Maybe... I can help you."

The moment Gu Shen reappeared.

The man at the foot of the mountain opened his eyes.

His eyes were like torches and his voice was like a bell: "I want to ask for a monument... in the Qing Tomb."
