Barrier of Light

"There's one thing I'm actually curious about..."

Gu Shen turned around and glanced at Li Qingsui, who was sleeping in the car, and asked softly: "After all, the Li family is also a powerful family in Jiangbei. There are many capable people and strangers. Why should a little girl bear so much at this age?"

He knew that the competition within the five families was fierce.

Even a genius like Gong Zi needs to work hard to maintain his position.

However... Li Qingsui is only about fifteen years old.

The burden of supporting Mrs. Li fell on the head of a little girl, which was too heavy.

"This...is actually the intention of the head of the family."

Gao Tian shook his head.

He lowered his eyebrows and said: "The head of the family has been ill for several years, and his body is very weak... You also know how many people are jealous and covet the position of the head of the five families. When Li Qingsui was appointed as the successor, There was an uproar within the Presbyterian Church. Because the family head and the previous guardian of the Temple Mountain both came forward, they were able to overcome all opinions and settle the matter."

If possible, the head of the Li family also wanted to give his daughter a good childhood.

only.

There are not so many ifs in this world.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If Li Qingsui, a young bird, cannot spread his wings before his father's protection disappears, then his final fate... will probably be to fall off the cliff.

This is tragic and realistic.

"For six hundred years, the five great families have controlled this place, and the five great families have also been controlled by this place..."

Gao Tian smiled and looked at Gu Shen: "Did the five families become the masters of Nagano, or... did Nagano trap the five families in a cage?"

Some things, if you look at them from another angle, you will get completely different answers.

"If Mt. Jinci is a prison, so is Nagano outside Mt. Mt. Jinci."

Gao Tian tilted his head slightly, looked at the sleeping lady in the car, and said softly: "We are all prison birds, living under the giant wall of Beizhou. Perhaps only by finding the channel leading to the [Oasis] can we truly see it." 'Free' right?"

Gu Shen was silent.

"Your teacher is a great man."

Gao Tian smiled: "I wish him success."

Gu Shen also smiled.

He always felt that Uncle Gao was waiting here not just to say this.

"Gu Shen..."

The sky is dark with clouds.

Gao Tian lit up another cigarette.

He breathed out leisurely and said with a smile: "I know that you and Mr. Li are only in a 'cooperative relationship.' I am not qualified to ask you to do anything for Mr. Li... But this is not a request, it is a request. I want to ask you a favor."

Gu Shen was startled.

He didn't expect that the words "please..." would come out of Uncle Gao's mouth.

Gao Tian's strength is one of the most powerful titles in Nagano.

This is definitely the top combat power of the five families.

"if……"

"If one day... I am unable to provide the lady with thoughtful care, I hope you can... help."

Gao Tian smoked and coughed dullly.

He is one of the most powerful titles in Nagano. No matter how desperate he is, he will not turn to a junior whose extraordinary strength is less than the third level.

Although Gu Shen is different from other "Extraordinary Third Level" in Nagano.

"Uncle Gao..."

Gu Shen vaguely sensed something was wrong.

What happened to Mr. Li?

How could he suddenly find himself and say these words?

Gao Tian smiled and said relaxedly: "Don't be nervous... Judging from my age and the level of physical exertion, if I just become a law-abiding driver, that day will take a long time to come."

He sat elegantly in front of the car and said slowly: "I have almost no friends in Nagano. The reason why I stayed in Li's family is to repay my kindness. The owner of the family has been very kind to me, and I will spend my whole life to repay this kindness." It's a good thing not having friends, it means I have nothing to worry about... but it's also a bad thing, if I need help, having no friends means no one will come to help me."

If you just want to protect yourself.

With such "strength" as Uncle Gao, basically nothing can trap him.

It's just that... no matter how hard the armor is, there is a soft heart hidden inside.

"Has the Li family master's health deteriorated to this level?" Gu Shen sighed softly.

This is actually not difficult to guess.

The only thing that can make Gao Tian so worried... is probably this kind of thing.

"As expected of Master Qianye's disciple." Uncle Gao neither admitted nor denied. He just smiled and dusted off his soot: "How far can you see the future? Can you help me see my ending?"

Without waiting for Gu Shen to answer.

He patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and laughed in a low voice: "It's just a joke...don't take it to heart. I know that things like divination require a huge price, just like the wishing technique..."

"Uncle Gao, there is a limit to what I can do..."

At this moment, Gu Shen raised his head and said seriously: "But if the day comes, I will definitely take action."

Gao Tian was stunned.

He lit his third cigarette leisurely and showed a faint smile.

…

…

The day Gong Zi left the Snow Forbidden City, she didn't notify anyone to see her off.

He just disappeared.

Until there was one less person in the early morning sunshine in the small courtyard of Chunyuguan.

Only then did everyone realize... Gong Zi had left Nagano.

People in the world are always happy to see each other, but it is difficult to say goodbye.

Perhaps for Gong Zi, getting drunk at the celebration banquet was already a farewell.

In the days that followed, Mu Ya came to Chunyuguan for tea and asked Gu Shen if he knew the whereabouts of Gong Zi. She also wanted to leave Nagano and chase Gong Zi.

It's just that Gu Shen didn't tell her that Gong Zi was going to Beizhou to break off their engagement...

At this moment, Gu Shen suddenly understood the reason why Master Qianye had been locked in the tomb for so many years.

There is so much turmoil in the world.

Having the ability of "divination" and being able to see the future may not necessarily be a good thing.

The more you see, the more troubled you become.

Many times, people in the world want "answers", but the future seen through divination is not equal to that "answer".

Gu Shen began to feel lucky that he had never really possessed the "divination skill". He saw Feng Laiguan's wooden sword in the sky and wondered to what extent Senior Sister Nan Jin had practiced. Would she go to the Tower of Source to seek revenge and see the end of the world? The busy Gu Nanfeng would not know how far the old sect had advanced, and the fate of all living beings had not yet converged into a line.

What he saw were the living lives, the ongoing "at this moment", rather than the lines that had been extended to the end, and the endings of countless people were already doomed.

The world always wants to "know."

And "not knowing" is sometimes a blessing.

The whole of Nagano believed that Gu Shen was the "successor of divination."

It's easy to get lost in flattery and praise. For a while, even Gu Shen himself almost thought so...but he soon calmed down and reminded himself not to abuse this status, and to be cautious in his words and deeds when walking outside.

So starting from a certain day, Gu Shen began to truly enjoy his status as a "spectator" as the successor of divination.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of the door, looking at the loneliness of the door.

Watching the winter snow falling, watching the spring rain.

He saw all the undercurrents in Nagano, and he only saw them... What he did was very simple and monotonous.

Day after day, there is only meditation.

Temple mountain, clear tombs, black flowers, formation patterns.

Whether you have practiced divination, whether you can see the future... In days like this, it no longer matters.

Gu Shen began to truly understand the guardians of the tomb, began to understand the prophets he had never met in the Tower of Origin, and began to understand the rumored "prophet" who could look straight into the future. When you want to have some incredible power.

First, you have to ignore it.

Those who cannot bear the temptation of the future have no right to lift this curtain.

The more people think about farsightedness, the more shortsighted they become.

Time began to pass quickly.

…

…

In the courtyard of Chunyuguan, after the falling snow melted, the willow trees sprouted new buds and formed a green shade.

Before I knew it, more than three hundred days had passed.

Winter goes to spring, spring goes to winter.

The green shade in the yard has withered, fallen leaves are everywhere, and it’s snowing season again in Nagano.

This year, Gu Shen finally got the "peace" he longed for.

Outside the small courtyard, no more challengers came to the door.

In Nagano, many geniuses reappeared, and these geniuses set off waves, but these waves had nothing to do with Gu Shen.

This year, few people mentioned his name.

He was like a drop of water, smoothly integrated into the vast sea of ​​Nagano.

But now when "Gu Shen" is mentioned... many people react in a daze, and then they realize that there is such a person here.

S level? The successor of divination?

All of this seems to have passed... and become a passing cloud.

What is gratifying is that even if there are no challengers, Shen Li has become a frequent visitor in the small courtyard. The little iron man will come to the courtyard to "drink tea" every now and then. Of course, the real intention is more than that.

He would often "ask" Gu Shen for advice.

Yes...it's a question, not a challenge.

This is a martial arts idiot with extremely high cultivation talent, but his mental power is not stable. Every time he uses [Iron Eater] with all his strength, he easily falls into a state of control. During this year, Gu Shen used "Breath of Spring" to help Shen Li recuperate. Spirit, in addition to this, it also completely solved the biggest difficulty in Shen Li's practice career. Shen Li can activate the [Gluttony] state without any scruples, without having to worry about losing control and backlash... This news is spreading, which is enough to make those in the prison The young man was shocked.

Because Shen Li's master, the Fourth Inquisitor Li Yu, was unable to solve the shortcomings of the [Iron Eater], and had always used stupid methods to suppress Shen Li's upper limit of mental power with powerful spiritual seals. .

This is a great transcendent who has reached the end of the fourth stage of cultivation.

Gu Shen was able to solve a problem that even Li Yu was unable to solve?

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem.

According to Mr. Gu Qilin... [Losing control] is a manifestation of [ominous].

So Gu Shen had a wonderful idea.

He let Shen Li open his fists and feet to attack him, and then when the [Iron Eater] went on a rampage, he used his thumb to absorb Shen Li's furious mental power... In the blazing vision, it was a wisp of darkness.

Just as I expected.

The "ominous thing" that caused Shen Li to lose control was directly taken away by the jade finger!

Of course, before making this attempt... Gu Shen already had a complete countermeasure. Even if the finger pull didn't work, he could still suppress Shen Li's loss of control. In the big pit in the Four Seasons Wilderness, he had already planted the most powerful seeds. The seed to start visualizing.

This year.

That seed slowly grew, took root, and sprouted in the ground.

Now only a small sign has emerged.

Gu Shen did not use the extraordinary trial in the deep water area to test his own strength, but he had a clear self-awareness. Now his mental power... is several times stronger than a year ago.

Even without using the [Iron Throne], it only takes one move to hypnotize Shen Li, who has a spiritual defensive sealed object.

This is also the reason why Shen Li runs to the Chun Yu Guan courtyard to "ask for advice" every once in a while... Not only can it satisfy his itchy desire to fight, but every time he fights, he can finally When you fall asleep, after typing, you will find that you have had a good night's sleep.

Now his view of Gu Shen has completely changed. He is simply a divine man.

Previously, the guys in the Snow Forbidden City always compared Gu Shen and Bai Xiu together... In Shen Li's heart, the two people could not be compared at all.

Can Baixiu cure his "loss of control"?

Totally impossible!

But Gu Shen can!

Gu Shen in Chunyu Temple is simply his second teacher on the path of spiritual practice.

For Gu Shen, it was actually a joyful thing to be able to see the little iron man Shen Li on a regular basis in these calm and unruffled days.

He abandoned the extraordinary trials in the deep water area and always needed to fight with others to roughly assess his strength.

The blazing fire continuously digests the black flowers on the temple mountain and transforms them into its own power.

As for Gu Shen's assessment of his own combat power... he has begun to use "Shen Li" as the basic unit.

In every fight, he was exploring the power of Blazing Fire and his true strength.

Leave it all behind.

Treating Shen Li's loss of control is also a win-win situation.

Because Shen Li's "ominousness" may be regarded as a kind of nourishment for the jade ring finger.

At present, Gu Shen still doesn't know what changes will occur after the jade ring finger absorbs spiritual power...or there will be no changes at all.

But he didn't care, because the power displayed by this object, even if it was just this little, was already powerful enough.

Able to absorb the spiritual power of the God Throne!

Able to swallow the so-called "ominous"!

This is an out-and-out divine item, even more surprising than the "Iron Clothes".

Gu Shen has been waiting... waiting for the ominous shadow dormant on his body to jump out at some point, and then he uses his jade finger to catch them all!

For a year, very little happened each day.

But when gathered together, there are not many.

Li's [Lamp Hunting] plan is going very smoothly. Two of the three lost bronze lanterns have been successfully recovered, and the three corners of the ancient house of the temple have been pieced together... only the last one remains.

Li used a lot of manpower and spent a lot of money to travel around the five continents to spread the news and buy antiquities.

These are all worth it.

If you can get together four bronze lanterns, it will only cost you worldly goods and manpower, which is nothing at all.

It’s just that the [Lamp Searching] plan is very confidential. Except for the family head and the two sisters from Shenci Mountain, no one else knows about it... This also ensures the smooth recovery of the antiquities. The extraordinary people in the outside world don’t know about it at all. The Li family Why collect those “meaningless” antiques?

In the world of extraordinary beings, if it is not a sealed object, it is meaningless.

In addition, Chu Ling once again successfully "possessed" the body of the divine fetus in the well water on the top of the temple.

A very important message can be inferred.

That is the collection of bronze lanterns, which indeed has a very powerful boost to the awakening of the divine fetus.

After the three bronze lanterns were placed, Chu Ling's consciousness seemed to be "split" at Ling Ling Yao.

Or to put it another way, concrete.

She often dreams that she sees the well, breathes in the well water, and sleeps soundly.

With the gathering of clumps of fluorescence and white flowers, the body is spreading and growing.

However, what Gu Shen saw in the well water was just an ordinary baby.

Chu Ling's dream was something that Gu Shen was curious about and worried about...

If one day.

Really gathering all four lights... So after Chu Ling is "born", will he be a baby?

With this question, he vaguely asked the tombkeeper.

Gu Shen's request for advice was not because he wanted Master Qianye to use divination to peek into the future.

It's because Master Qianye is knowledgeable enough and may know something.

The master's reply was simple.

"If there really was a divine fetus in this world... then it started growing six hundred years ago. How could it be a baby now?"

This sentence is not difficult to understand.

The "baby" form of the divine fetus is, in the final analysis, just an external manifestation.

Its existence is completely different from that of humans.

It takes six hundred years for the divine fetus to hatch, while the birth of a human only takes ten months... If the divine fetus is really a living entity, it is impossible to predict what its growth trajectory will be like.

Maybe it will take ten thousand years to grow.

Maybe...it was born perfect.

If it is a life born from countless "extraordinary sources", if it has its own consciousness, it may be able to freely choose its own body. Whether it is a baby or an old man, it is just a physical body.

When he said this, the tomb guard also lifted up a corner of his robe, revealing his withered left hand.

The existence of these two types of forbidden arts, divination and wishing, fully proves one thing.

Spirit and matter cannot be separated and are opposed to each other.

When the spirit is strong enough, matter becomes just a vehicle... nothing more.

After receiving this answer, Gu Shen let go of the thing that worried him the most...

He quietly became a spectator.

Over the past year, there have been fewer and fewer black flowers on the temple mountain, the top of the mountain has returned to purity, there have been more and more formation patterns on the clear tomb, and the fog has gradually become clearer.

There is nothing wrong with the life of a spectator.
