Barrier of Light

"Want a monument?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He never imagined that... this request would be so simple.

Even, this is not a requirement at all.

There are many steles in the outer mausoleum of the Qing Tomb... After Gu Changzhi rested on the sacred throne, the power emitted by the fire condensed into this super large wonderland, which was different from the disaster situation in the Piyue City Fortress. Qing Tomb is a completely controllable "miraculous place". The extraordinary essence of the deceased buried here will not dissipate, but will spontaneously condense and float outside the sky.

Moreover, it is said that during the construction of the tomb, the fire and the "formation" produced an incredible and wonderful reaction.

As long as they are buried here, even some extraordinary people who have passed away for many days, and the extraordinary essence in their bodies has been separated, can be summoned... Of course, this statement has not been truly confirmed, but the extraordinary energy condensed in Qingzhong now The amount of source material has far exceeded the estimate before the construction. This is no longer the amount that can be brought by ordinary burials of the dead.

"Friend...it seems that there is no need to meet the tomb keeper immediately."

Gu Shen was a little helpless.

If you just want a monument, you can find it from five major families, or even three major families!

Although the fog was very thick, he could vaguely see the demeanor and demeanor of this person under the mountain. Gu Shen felt that the person should be from a noble family, even if he was not one of the five great families, he was similar.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if it is just an ordinary casual cultivator...as long as he finds three places and expresses his desire to seek a monument, he can get the "burial rights" of Qingzuka. Nagano has been containing the extraordinary source of disorder in an attempt to use this All areas are protected.

Therefore, when we are in urgent need of essence, as long as they do not violate extraordinary laws, most of them can be buried in the "Qing Tomb". However, the rankings in the cemetery, including good and bad, are arranged according to their contribution. Ordinary extraordinary people can get The ranking of the cemetery may not be that good.

The man down the mountain spoke in a deep voice.

"Not only do I ask for a monument, I also ask for a name."

Could you please give me a name?

Gu Shen was even more confused.

Before he could say anything, the voice of the tomb keeper appeared in his ears, and at the same time, the outline of a name appeared in his mind.

"Tell him...the name on the monument is Yu Shu."

The tombkeeper said softly: "He will owe you a favor."

I see.

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated. Master Qianye deliberately asked her to come to this hill just to meet this mysterious young man. However, she refused to respond and refused to meet him, just to make him owe her a favor.

Who is this?

Is it worthy to be treated like this by the tomb keeper... In other words, with my current status, do I need anyone's favor?

but.

Gu Shen had a very good impression of the people under the mountain.

Even if Master Qianye doesn't speak, he will take the initiative to help.

"That person's name is Yu Shu, so Yu, beam of light."

Gu Shen spoke again, and at the same time he raised his hand and slowly traced strokes in the fog with his fingertips... It was so foggy that he didn't know if the other party could see clearly?

After a few seconds.

The people at the foot of the mountain no longer sat cross-legged, but stood up.

"Thanks for the help."

He bowed slightly and performed a very ancient etiquette... Gu Shen had seen this etiquette from Li Qingci.

Sure enough, is he from the Five Families?

Gu Shen also returned the gift.

Just as the young man at the foot of the mountain was about to leave, the voice of the tomb guard came to Gu Shen's ears again. His pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly spoke and shouted loudly.

"etc--"

The young man was startled slightly and turned around.

Gu Shen said seriously every word: "The person who wants to kill you should have 'Zheng' in his name. If you don't fight, fight...be careful."

Although it was very foggy.

But Gu Shen had a vague feeling.

Hearing this sentence... the people under the mountain seemed to smile.

Two people, one is standing on the mountain and the other is standing at the bottom of the mountain.

When parting, the two nodded to each other.

…

…

Tonight.

Heavy rain, snow, and thunder in Nagano.

The weather hasn't been this bad for a long time.

The thunder dragon is majestic, its blazing light appears, and it roars loudly across the sky of thousands of meters away.

In the Bai clan's ancestral hall, the elders were discussing the matter of ancestor worship. Because the weather has been so bad recently, many rituals need to be changed and may be performed indoors... While everyone was discussing, the wooden door of the ancestral temple was pushed open.

"White sleeves?"

The second elder frowned when he saw the boy's wet white clothes and asked, "Where did you go yesterday... There is no news about you in the entire Snow Forbidden City..."

Bai Xiu did not answer this question.

He just looked around, looking at the elders...silently searching for names in his mind.

It's a pity that I don't pay attention to the news in the clan on weekdays, nor do I care about the composition of the Elders Council. Except for the second elder Bai Zesheng, I can hardly name anyone here.

However, there is a meeting here today.

There are pieces of "wooden plaques" standing on the long table, with the names of each member engraved on them... The older the clan, the more it pays attention to this illusory sense of ritual. During the formal clan meeting, every person who sat down looked at it. Seeing your name on the wooden plaque is actually a great encouragement.

They have worked for decades to sit here.

And I have to say, everything has two sides -

These illusory rituals are not just a "cumbersome", but sometimes they also provide convenience.

For example, this time.

Baixiu said softly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Huaiyin, Jiangbei."

When saying this, Baixiu did not hesitate and said it directly in front of the elders.

Huaiyin is a small town in the north of the Yangtze River. Many people have not even heard of this place... but this small town has a branch of the Bai family.

Everyone's expressions were strange and a little confused.

Why did Baixiu mention Jiangbei and why did he go to Huaiyin?

Only one person looked different.

The second elder, Bai Zesheng, understood many things after hearing these words.

He looked complicated and said slowly: "You... found out Qu Long's information."

It's not a question or a rhetorical question, it's a statement.

Baixiu's answer was also very simple.

"Um."

As the "top genius" cultivated by the Bai family, he has extremely high authority. The guardians of the Bai family are indeed shadow-like existences, with no names and no files, but they have the same abilities as before they became "shadows" past.

I want to investigate these past events.

Just need to know...the name that was erased.

The second elder didn't know how Baixiu did it, and didn't want to know.

He just felt helpless because this young man was unexpectedly persistent in certain things, almost paranoid.

In fact, for some things, hiding in the darkness is the best ending.

If you want to find out everything, the truth will seem funny... because the person who died for the Bai family was not named Bai at all.

Just like Gao Tian, ​​who went through life and death for the Li family, his surname is not Li either.

Everyone has their own reasons for giving everything.

This reason does not have to be a surname, it must be a given name, or it must be bloodline.

It's just that... after finding out the truth, the protector [Qu Long] died and could not leave his name in the ancestral hall. This matter has the most real answer.

Because Qu Long is basically a foreigner.

Of course, a person with a foreign surname...is not qualified to leave a name in the ancestral temple.

"After you left that day, I went to check as soon as possible. Regarding Qu Long's consolation money and the compensation he deserved... they were all sent to Huaiyin." The second elder said softly, "The follow-up of this matter , you don’t have to worry, I will take care of it. If you are worried, you can track the progress of the matter at any time through [Wind Eye]."

Hearing this, Bai Xiu had no big reaction.

He nodded silently.

Then he found a seat and sat down slowly.

A certain elder who was attending the meeting was not allowed to move to the side... His sitting posture was a bit reserved, not only because his white sleeves were soaked by the rain, and they were still dripping when he stepped into the inner room of the ancestral hall.

And because, after Bai Xiu sat down, he stretched out a hand very unceremoniously, twisted the wooden identity card in front of him that symbolized honor and status, and looked at it carefully.

There was silence in the ancestral hall.

Water droplets gathered together, falling from the cuffs of Baixiu to the wooden floor.

"Tick tock."

"Tick...tick."

Bai Xiu's eyes were very serious. He looked at the name on the wooden sign repeatedly, but it was only three words, but he read it dozens or hundreds of times.

Everyone in the ancestral hall looked at the wooden sign with him.

After a long time.

Bai Xiu suddenly smiled.

He looked at the name on the wooden sign as if there was a joke written on it.

Thinking back to what the guy standing on the mountain said to himself in the heavy fog in Qingzhong... This wooden sign is really a joke.

["The person who wants to kill you should have the word "Zheng" in his name. If you don't fight, fight...\
