Barrier of Light

Ancient writing slate!

The biggest secret of the Evening Bell Church base discovered in the tundra area... was the ancient inscription stone tablet.

Gu Shen finally killed Mr. Zhuo and searched the memory of the slate in his spiritual ocean. But at the last moment of interpretation, a ray of spiritual power from the Storm God's Throne came, causing the transmission of the slate's memory to be interrupted.

In fact, even if you really get this memory, you may not be able to decipher it successfully. [Ancient writing] can be said to be the ultimate problem facing all mankind, and it has not yet been overcome.

But Gu Shen had a vague feeling.

Xiao knows something about these ancient texts!

At least...he knows something!

The man sitting opposite Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this first question.

"I should have told you that the content on this slate... I can only identify part of it. So you don't expect me to decipher the entire slate and tell you what the content is, right?"

Blood fire and blazing fire blended and swayed.

Any slight fluctuation in mental power cannot escape the other party's detection.

Gu Shen knew that Xiao was not lying.

He motioned for the other person to continue.

"As far as I know, this stone tablet records a kind of 'forbidden magic', which is similar to your divination." Xiao said slowly: "As for what that magic is, it is not written in detail on the stone tablet, and Or maybe I didn’t understand it…but it’s definitely something that makes countless people crazy.”

The swaying of the blood fire was very steady.

Um.

No lies.

"About the contents on the slate... I only know so much." He looked directly into Gu Shen's eyes and shrugged: "Your question is a good idea, but unfortunately... you asked the wrong person."

Basically no valid information was obtained.

But Gu Shen was basically satisfied.

He had no hope that this so-called "question and answer" and "honest communication" could reveal any real secrets. In Gu Shen's view, the more important significance of this exchange of questions and answers was to ensure that he was in the "important information" "In terms of cognition, he is on the same level as Xiao.

This is a gambler, a liar.

If you want to cooperate with him, you must see "clearly" enough.

By the way, let’s find out what other weird tricks this guy has.

"Okay...according to the rules, now it's my turn to ask."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "This lamp that seems to have nothing special... what kind of sealed object is it?"

Good to ask.

Gu Shen answered quickly, almost instantly: "This lamp is not a sealed object."

The owl looked stunned.

He looked at Gu Shen and was speechless for a moment.

He had just asked the question, but before he could even finish his words, Gu Shen had already finished his answer. The whole process only took about one second, maybe two seconds?

The mental feedback proved... Gu Shen didn't lie.

Xiaodu looked a little ugly. In his opinion, Li spent such a high price to find an "antique lamp". This behavior must have deep meaning and connotation. This can never be an ordinary "antique lamp". "Antique object", this must be a sealed object with extremely hidden qualities.

Not a sealed object?

"This lamp...is it really just a lamp?"

Xiao was in disbelief. He raised his head in confusion, his eyes full of incomprehension.

"Sorry," Gu Shen said calmly, "Now it's my turn to ask."

Xiao snorted coldly, silently grasped the handle of the chair and narrowed his eyes.

"What did you get in the tomb?"

This is also a question that Gu Shen cannot get an answer to.

That time they fought in the snowfield.

Xiao Xiao sounded the alarm, and before "dying" he told himself contentedly... that he had gotten what he wanted.

From the opening of the coffin to the end, I watched the entire process.

Xiao's body was destroyed on the spot, and he didn't take anything with him at all.

And what can be obtained... is only certain information.

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao just smiled.

He did not hide anything, but spoke frankly: "Actually, it's not a big secret. Didn't you notice that the body was missing after the coffin was opened? I am very sure that the owner of that tomb... did not die in the coffin in the end. He left this tomb on his own. The only thing I got from the tomb was this message."

Gu Shen recalled the scene he saw when [profiling]...

The tomb owner pushed open the coffin and walked out!

It was precisely because of a few more glances that I was tainted by the ominous scene!

When Xiao said this, Gu Shen realized that this man was hiding something from him.

He didn't lie.

But he chose to hide it.

If he only learned the whereabouts of the so-called "forbidden magic" from a certain stone slab of unknown origin, would he really travel thousands of miles to lurk in a place like the tundra?

No……

This message is too general and too vague.

What's more, Xiao Xiao gained nothing in the end.

Could it be that just knowing that the "grave owner" did not die in the coffin was considered a "worthwhile trip" to him?

Xiao must have learned the more specific content of "forbidden magic", but the way to obtain it was not on the ancient inscriptions... So when asked the first question, he deliberately avoided the real "forbidden magic" What is the content, but only the content on the slate, he cannot fully understand.

Gu Shen didn't understand taboo magic.

But he knew Xiao.

"You know very well what the content of that forbidden technique is..." Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao just changed his lazy posture and responded with what Gu Shen just said, "Sorry, this is the next question. According to the agreement, I only need to answer your previous question... Now it is my turn to ask the question."

Xiao Xiao did not rush to ask the second question, but first said slowly: "When I was in the tomb, I didn't have time to look carefully at these funerary objects... Now that I think about it, they are indeed ordinary objects, not the so-called Sealed objects. But there must be a reason why Li spent so much money searching for them. These objects are by no means ordinary 'antiques'... Very good, please tell me the purpose of these lamps frankly."

The owl didn't know how many lights there were.

All he knew was that there was more than one.

And this question... included several questions, and it was certainly impossible for Gu Shen to answer them honestly.

"..."

He pondered for a moment and said calmly: "These lamps are just ordinary ancient objects, but they are special containers that can be used to carry the spirit. As for what will happen after the spirit is carried, I don't know, and neither does Li."

"I understand... thank you for your 'generous' answer." Xiao said with a sarcastic smile: "As for the third question, I think it is not necessary?"

He is not a fool.

After these two answers, it was obvious that the two flames of blood and fire were blending together. They said they were being honest with each other, but in fact, both parties had hidden agendas, and no one wanted to share more information.

We exchanged questions and went around in a circle, basically doing Tai Chi within the rules and going around in circles.

And they are unwilling to answer questions that really touch the other party's "secret".

If Gu Shen asked about the true content of the "forbidden magic" and Xiao asked about the specific locations of the "other lamps", I'm afraid both parties would choose to refuse the question and stop asking.

"There is indeed no need to proceed. The next negotiation can be ended... It can be seen that you have no sincerity in negotiating." Gu Shen stretched out his palm and lightly crossed his fingers.

"I will confiscate this thing."

The blazing fire suddenly exerted force, wrapping up the small wisp of blood fire and returning it to the palm of his hand.

No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is still meat.

Gu Shen had no hope in this so-called "honest confession" from the beginning.

Having deceived a ray of blood and fire from the owl, I can barely count myself as having earned it.

Without hesitation, he directly made a fist and crushed this wisp of "blood fire"!

Wisps of blood-colored flames wrapped around Gu Shen's fist, and he finally grasped it in his palm.

See this scene.

The man sitting on the chair looked ugly... Confiscating my fire in front of me?

This scene is not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.

unlucky!

I have been harvesting people's wool all day long, and I am being harvested by others today?

After doing a round of Tai Chi with Gu Shen, he lost a ray of his original extraordinary power. Looking at the other person's expression at this moment, it seemed that he didn't take this conversation seriously from the beginning.

"Do you want to see my sincerity?"

Xiao Xiao said coldly, "I know the location of that lamp!"

After Gu Shen heard the words, he glanced at Xiao Xiao.

He just smiled.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't even take Xiao's words seriously.

This time the question revolved around Deng Qi... But Gu Shen didn't ask about the location of the lamp at all. He knew that if this guy dared to come to the door with this information, it would definitely not be that simple.

Those who take the initiative to come to the door are always passive.

Compared to Gu Shen, Xiao must want to know the specific information about "Leng".

Seeing that Gu Shen didn't respond, the next step was to drive him away...

Xiao finally lost his temper.

"To tell you the truth, even if you find the people you find, you won't be able to find a lamp in tin and silver even if you find the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon."

He looked solemn, tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, and proactively broke the news: "The lamp you are looking for is in the underground secret room of Crescent Church in Xiyin City, and is now being closely guarded."

Gu Shen frowned.

"Underground secret room? How do you know?"

Xiao was a little helpless.

He stretched out a hand and pointed at the faint wisp of blood lingering between his eyebrows. The implication could not be more obvious...

Crescent Church is just a "home" for him.

"That object is just a vulgar object, how could it be favored by the Crescent Church." Gu Shen felt it was unreasonable. Since Li launched the "Lamp Search" project, the two lamps he brought back were all found among the people. .

"Xiyin City is the headquarters of the Crescent Church. Under the church, there is a secret room dedicated to holding 'extraordinary sealed objects', similar to the underground of the Huazhi Building." Xiao said slowly: "It's just... the first paragraph Someone once paid a special tribute, saying it could not be damaged, and it was this lamp."

"It should not be difficult to guess what happened next... This lamp has been tested by the church's extraordinary people, and it was indeed found that there is something special about it. It does not look like a sealed object, but it has strange toughness, so it was stored separately. It was sealed together with those sealed objects in the underground chamber of Crescent Church."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Xiao noticed a change in Gu Shen's expression.

He smiled, extended an olive branch, and said, "How about... do you want to consider bringing the [Lamp] out together?"

Gu Shen looked at Xiao calmly.

Join forces with Xiao?

The latter slowly said: "As far as I know, Archbishop Ranville, who is responsible for guarding these sealed objects in the Crescent Church, is at least a tenth-level transcendent. With his strength, if you want to take the [Lamp] head-on, basically It’s impossible.”

"Please replace the word 'you' with 'I', thank you."

Gu Shen exposed it unceremoniously.

Obviously... Xiao Xiao has discovered the location of [Lamp], but he didn't take action. Instead, he ran to seek his help... There was only one reason, he couldn't do it himself.

Xiao didn't feel embarrassed, smiled nonchalantly, and said: "Indeed... my current strength is not strong enough, otherwise how could I meet you in this capacity?"

to him--

[Deng] Where is Gu Shen so important?

Being able to take the [Lamp] away from Ranveer...his strength is at least the fourth stage. In this case, if he learns that Gu Shen has arrived in Nanzhou alone, the first thing he will do is seize this golden opportunity. , kill the "blazing" owner in front of you directly!

"You need someone to help you enter the underground of the Crescent Church... and find the secret room where the [Lamp] is placed."

Xiao Xiao stared at Gu Shen and said slowly: "There are dozens of secret rooms there, but only one is correct."

The implication is obvious...

Only I can help you!

"Time, place, specific plan." Gu Shen spoke simply.

"There are twelve believers under Ranveer, each responsible for a certain area, and they take turns guarding the secret room 24 hours a day... These people's spiritual oceans have the 'spiritual imprint' planted by Ranveer. Once they are hypnotized, they will It will attract attention." Xiao said slowly: "The good news is that I am in charge of a part of the area and can help you sneak into the underground of the church smoothly, but the bad news is... the location of the [Lamp] is in another part of the area. When taking out the lamp , you need to cross the guard of another believer and get the corresponding key."

"It is worth mentioning... that the underground secret room of the Crescent Church has a well-equipped strong logic material defense system. It is not the same level of defense as the base of the Church of the Evening Bell on the Tundra. Once locked, it is almost impossible to escape. . This system will reset the password every once in a while. According to the rules, the next rotation date should be three days later. If you want to take action... you have to start action as early as possible and within three days."

Say this in one breath.

Xiao stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "Twenty-one hours later, Ranveer will have an important meeting. He rarely leaves the church. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is conservatively estimated that he will leave the church for an hour. At that time I will wait for you at the entrance of the Crescent Church’s underground passage, and after meeting you, I will tell you the specific location of the [lamp].”

"How to divide it?"

Gu Shen smiled slightly.

He asked the most important question.

Two people, one lamp...how to divide it?

"That lamp... I can give it to you. After all, it is not a sealed object, and you can't possibly tell me how to use it. Even if I get it, it will be useless."

Xiao Youyou said: "But I want other sealed objects under the Crescent Church... You don't have to worry about how I can get them, I have my own way."

The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.

Gu Shen looked at the man lying lazily on the chair and said the most greedy words in the calmest tone.

Gu Shen wants that "one".

He wants "all" the rest.

"After it's over...we'll go our separate ways, and the rest will depend on our abilities." Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "This is the entire plan."

…

…

Time flies.

Gu Shen arrived at the door of Crescent Church at the appointed time...

Under the bright moonlight, the statue of the goddess in the Crescent Church looked holy and solemn. He walked forward with a "pious" smile in a white robe and exchanged blessings with several priests. There were no believers in the church at this moment.

In front of the secret passage on the side of the church, Gu Shen saw a tall priest wearing a black robe, with blood-red eyes flashing.

When Gu Shen saw the red light, he knew the identity of the other party.

He slowly approached, and the tall priest stepped aside to give way to the passage. At the same time, a smile appeared under his black robe: "It's really on time... I thought you would refuse..."

Gu Shen just said calmly: "Hurry up."

He did not refuse Xiao's invitation.

The reason is simple... If the Lamp of Wrath is really under the church's secret room, then Xiao's plan is indeed the simplest and fastest way. Looking for a breakthrough through other means will waste more time.

There is another important point.

How many pairs of eyes did this guy have staring at him in Xiyin City... Gu Shen couldn't find out in a short time.

If a certain body of the owl is responsible for guarding the Crescent Church, and you want to avoid him... the difficulty will rise again, making this an almost impossible task.

In this case, "cooperation" is the only option!

The moment the two entered the passage.

Chu Ling began to spread the network through spiritual links and reproduce the underground map of the Crescent Church... This is a huge underground space like a prison, with secret rooms containing the "secret objects" of the Crescent Church. Some of them They are sealed objects, and some are important case files that cannot be seen by anyone.

The spread of the spiritual network quickly encountered obstacles.

"This place is surrounded by a huge ring wall... which is strong logic material." Chu Ling realized that this was the defense system that Xiao had mentioned before. "It takes time to decipher the code..."

Gu Shen said in his heart: "Understood, how long will it take?"

"Thirteen digits." Chu Ling's voice became solemn, "It will take a long time to decipher these codes..."

Gu Shen looked aside.

"You know... the people who believe in these churches have some problems with their minds. They are all lunatics."

Xiao seemed to have the ability to read minds and guessed what Gu Shen was thinking at the moment.

He shrugged and said with a smile: "This is why I came here to 'work as a janitor'. For such a long password, even if I can borrow [Deep Sea]'s authority, I can't decipher it in a short time. Compared to Underneath... I would rather choose to lurk."

Xiao stood in front of the mithril door, looked at Gu Shen, and said slowly: "I have already taken care of another guard... [Leng] is in the secret room No. 13, and there will be a total of 15 minutes of action time. Are you ready? Is it done?"

Gu Shen nodded.

"Let's do it."
