Barrier of Light

Li Qingci had a dream.

This was a long dream... In the dream, she saw the shrine mountain crumbling, and figures standing one after another at the foot of the mountain. They were more frightening than the black flowers all over the mountain. They just surrounded the foot of the mountain silently.

She is alone.

There is no way to stop these people from climbing the mountain.

They walked up the mountain, not caring at all about the place that the guardians had worked hard to maintain for six hundred years, because it was already dilapidated, with dead black flowers growing everywhere, so they started to act even more unscrupulously.

Everything that can be smashed, burned, torn...everything will be destroyed.

But this is also the only luck among misfortunes.

There is nothing left to destroy in the shrine.

Finally, they reached the top of the mountain... there was the "holy place" that the guardians dedicated their lives to maintaining, and it was the birthplace of the prayer technique.

In the dream, Li Qingci couldn't see the faces of these people clearly.

She could only see one black face after another. It didn't matter what they looked like... They all looked the same. They wanted to destroy the temple and the place of ancestral shade.

At the end of the dream, she heard a gentle drop of water.

"Tick tock."

A very light sound.

Li Qingci opened her eyes.

She moved a deck chair under the eaves of the ancient temple house and fell into a drowsy sleep.

When I woke up at this moment, I found that there was a drop of water on my eyebrows.

The weird thing is.

There is no time in this wonderful place of Shenci Mountain. It is always covered by clouds regardless of day or night, and there is very little rainfall. There are a few dry waterfalls at the bottom of the mountain, but it is always boring on the top of the mountain.

Where did the water drops come from?

Li Qingci rubbed her brows with difficulty. She subconsciously looked at the well... held her breath and walked over.

Mr. Xiao Gu said that he saw a "goddess" in this well.

She admitted that, for a brief moment as she approached the well, she had unrealistic fantasies.

Can really lean in.

The well was peaceful.

There was no ripple at all.

Li Qingci was a little disappointed. She sighed softly. The next moment, the expression on her pretty face suddenly became tense... An outsider broke into the realm of Shenci Mountain, and this time there was more than one person.

…

…

Three elders came from the Li Presbyterian Church, headed by the second elder.

This group of people stood at the foot of the temple mountain, looking around, watching and sizing up. Just as they were preparing to go up the mountain, they met Li Qingci, the protector who had come down to the foot of the mountain. The two elders bowed to each other without hesitation.

Be polite before fighting.

He twirled his long snow-white beard and wore Li's black-patterned ancient robe, looking like an immortal.

The second elder smiled and said, "Miss Celadon, long time no see."

Li Qingci knew the purpose of these people... She also knew that the second elder had evil intentions.

She stood in front of the mountain without moving.

"Three elders, you should know that Shenci Mountain is a forbidden area of ​​the Li family. Although there are talismans, it is best not to disturb them when nothing happens."

That was a very kind thing to say.

But obviously...the elders will come and will not leave easily.

"Miss Celadon is right...but we also have difficulties."

The second elder sighed softly and pretended to be helpless: "After the death of the family head, every item of the family's financial statements needs to be audited clearly... We came to the shrine actually to investigate Miss Qingsui's [Light Hunting] plan. "

This plan is very mysterious in the report.

Just mentioned it briefly.

Just skip it.

However, just such a plan burned a large amount of Li's liquidity in one year.

At this juncture, the thoughtful people in the Presbyterian Church will certainly not let go of such an excellent opportunity... Investigating the [Light Searching] plan is not only a method within the regulations, but also a convenient way to find out Li Qingsui's proposal.

A "girl" who is immature and lacks qualifications wants to be the head of the five families?

All you need to do is find the projects she proposes and search for problems, and then you can quickly use the name of "unable to convince the public"... to remove her from the center of power of the Li family.

In fact, they have been doing this since the head of the family passed away.

It was just a year ago that Li Qingsui took over the family's core business... Her record was outstanding, and there were almost no mistakes. Of course, it was because of the secret assistance of the previous head of the family.

But I have to say that Li Qingsui has a high level of understanding and is decisive enough.

It's almost impossible to find fault with other projects...

Only then did the Presbyterian Council turn their attention to the [Light Searching] plan.

"investigation?"

Li Qingci still refused to give in.

She said coldly, "As a protector... I have the right to refuse your investigation."

Are you kidding me...how could these people be allowed to enter such an important place as the temple?

But having said that.

Li Qingci felt vaguely ominous.

She is a protector who has inherited the wishing technique, and that dream before... would not have been without a reason.

If anything, that dream was an indication.

Then...what will happen next may be beyond my control...

Li Qingci made plans to defend the shrine alone.

But I never expected it.

The second elder had no intention of moving on.

He smiled and said: "Okay, Miss Celadon, since you refuse to investigate... then we will not enter."

Li Qingci was stunned.

"It's just that the impact of the [Light Searching] plan is probably much greater than you think... After returning, the Presbyterian Council will make a new assessment of Miss Qingsui."

The second elder said lightly and turned around.

"Celadon girl, actually...it doesn't hurt to let them climb the mountain."

At this moment, outside the mountain mist, a young voice sounded from the direction where the second elder came.

Gu Shen slowly walked out of the mist.

"Mr. Xiao Gu!"

When Li Qingci saw Gu Shen's figure, the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart disappeared instantly. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense nerves were relaxed.

"Gu Shen?"

The original indifferent smile on the second elder's face slowly disappeared.

He stared at Gu Shen.

Why is this guy still lingering?

Wherever you go, he will come?

"Second Elder, the fire will cause severe harm to the body."

Gu Shen came to the old man and wrote lightly: "You only have a few years left to live. It's not worth it to look like a face all day long. It's better to cherish every day and smile more. It's good for your health."

After hearing this, the second elder of the Li family suddenly changed his expression.

He knew that Gu Shen was a disciple of Master Qianye!

He is the successor of divination!

This guy said he only had a few years to live... What did he mean? Are you serious?

"You brat! Discourteous!"

Before the second elder could get angry, a certain elder on the other side became angry first.

This elder is not very old, about thirty, he is in his prime, and his body is as strong as a diamond.

When he entered the realm of the Shenci Mountain, Gu Shen noticed the three extraordinary beings from the Li Presbyterian Church through his spiritual link... This time, the three of them were stronger than Li Xuan.

Among them, the second elder has the highest level and should be at the fourth stage of strength. The other two are at the third stage, around the seventh and eighth levels.

"rude?"

Gu Shen smiled and asked, "To tell the truth, is that considered rude?"

"The following offenders are rude and should be slapped!"

The "Vajra" elder took a step forward and slapped him unceremoniously.

He had long disliked Gu Shen...

Regarding the Li incident, this kid jumped out again and again. Last time, he beat up a member of the Presbyterian Church and confiscated the talisman on his own initiative. This time, he came to intervene again!

Take this opportunity to teach you a lesson!

This slap was extremely fast.

This Elder Vajra was originally an extraordinary person in the attack system. He worked hard to refine his body. In order to teach Gu Shen a sufficient lesson, he even used his "field"!

next moment.

There was a "pop" sound!

A crisp slap sounded at the foot of the temple mountain.

A bloody tooth was knocked out.

fell to the ground.

Elder Vajra, who was the first to take action, looked at the tooth that had fallen out of his mouth.

He looked stunned and his eyes were blank.

One of his cheeks was bulging, with blood oozing out. The crown of his hair had been knocked off, and his hair was disheveled, looking very embarrassed.

However, he didn't see it clearly from beginning to end.

How did this happen...

When did Gu Shen take action?

But someone saw clearly.

The second elder saw it very clearly... At the moment when he just made his move, Gu Shen's figure seemed to turn into a shadow, swaying and staggering, arriving first and then slapped Elder Jingang.

Faster, more accurate, more ruthless.

The shadow just now... looked a bit like a [complete flash].

Even if it's not a true [Full Flash], I still understand it 70% to 80%.

If I remember correctly, a year ago, when Gu Shen and Shen Li were fighting, his attainments in physical skills were not profound... He could not even touch the threshold of [Perfect Flash].

The second elder slowly stretched out a hand and stopped the other angry elder.

He spoke in a cold tone and said word by word: "In front of my face...Hit me, the elder of the Li family? Gu Shen, you must give me an explanation today."

"statement?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "This elder...hasn't he been given to you before? The following offenders are rude and should be slapped."

"I am a student of Master Qianye and a disciple of the Grand Advocate. Regardless of these two identities, I am still Qingsui's half-brother. I am a distinguished guest enshrined in the shrine. I was personally invited by the previous head of the Li family. The person with the talisman."

He looked at the elder who took the lead, and the implication was very clear.

Which of these identities is not better than you?

The following offenders and rude words should be slapped.

It’s just that it’s your mouth that deserves the palm!

The elder who was slapped widened his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"The Suwen Li family is the most etiquette family among the five families." Gu Shen said calmly, "The second elder should be able to clearly distinguish between right and wrong in this matter."

The second elder had nothing to say.

He glanced at the elder who was slapped after his attempt failed, and knew that the matter could not be pursued.

This slap hit, it was Gu Shengei!

But he couldn't beat him and was beaten by the opponent instead... he could only blame himself for not having the ability.

"Since your status is so noble..."

The word "noble" was emphasized by the second elder.

He said coldly: "Then what I said before should also count, right?"

Gu Shen said before that people can be allowed to climb the mountain.

When Li Qingci heard this, she became worried... She cast a veiled look at Gu Shen.

Gu Shenze came to her side and signaled her not to be nervous.

"Everyone, if you have leisure time and are willing to climb mountains... then you can do it now."

He gave up the mountain road and said calmly: "But before climbing the mountain, don't blame me for saying ugly words in front of you. After climbing the mountain, there are black flowers in all directions, and each one is a 'point of collapse of order'. You should be aware of this." The power, once touched, will disintegrate directly..."

The expressions of the elders changed slightly.

Of course they know... No one has entered this sacred mountain in these years. The reason is very simple.

This is simply a "magic cave"!

It's gloomy and desolate. Who else would enter this place except the protectors?

If it weren't for this moment, when the Presbyterian Church urgently needed to make a fuss about the "shrine", they wouldn't have come to a place like this...

As a protector, Li Qingci, of course, tried her best to stop it.

But when they were truly let go, they were unwilling to enter.

"Please." Gu Shen extended his hand to invite and said calmly: "By the way, there is another ugly saying. I have to say that if you die on the mountain, you won't be able to leave even a corpse. But there is no need to worry, I will Let Qingsui bury the elders with the most solemn etiquette."

The two people next to the second elder looked a little frightened.

They were not afraid that they might accidentally touch the black flower while climbing the mountain... What they were afraid of was that Gu Shen had prepared some tricks on the way!

There is no [Deep Sea] link here.

If something really happened, absolutely no one would know what happened.

According to Li's internal information, this boy came to the shrine to meditate when he had nothing to do. Who knows what he was practicing?

"You should know what climbing is for."

The second elder spoke calmly, "What if you don't want to explain the meaning of the [Light Searching] plan and go to the shrine?"

I had no plans to go to the shrine.

It is too easy to make things difficult for someone... There are thousands of ways in this world, and the second elder is someone who knows this well.

He wrote lightly: "Gu Shen, if you are willing to invite mountain climbers, you might as well make it simple and tell them the [Light Search] plan."

"OK."

Gu Shen still kept an understatement and said, "There is nothing to hide. The content of the [Looking for Lights] plan is very simple. It is to help Shenci Mountain fade away from the black flowers all over the mountain."

The second elder was startled.

He seemed to have heard a big joke.

These flowers...

These black flowers may cause Li's backlash at any time...

It has not been removed for six hundred years!

It is said that when Gu Changzhi came to Shenci Mountain, he was helpless!

Can a few broken lamps save it?

Anyone who enters the Li Presbyterian Church and obtains a Talisman... will be informed of the significance of the existence of the Temple Mountain. This dry and lonely mountain is covered with flowers of death. Li's protectors are doing their best. , turning the "disaster situation" into a "wonderful situation".

Because there is a so-called "divine fetus" in the temple mountain.

Only the "divine fetus" needs to be hatched.

If you go to the temple mountain, you will be saved.

So many years, generation after generation.

The Presbyterians had waited with hope.

It's just that year after year, decade after decade, century after century... all they waited for was disappointment.

So in the end, no one in the Presbyterian Church believed in the so-called hope of Shenci Mountain.

The second elder smiled.

He really felt that Gu Shen was telling a joke.

So he asked: "Next...you don't want to say that the lamp on the temple mountain can hatch the so-called 'divine fetus', right?"

Dead silence.

At this moment, it seemed that even the wind at the foot of the Temple Mountain had turned solid.

"You're right, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

Gu Shen nodded and said, "But the name Divine Fetus sounds strange... You can call her the Goddess."

The old man looked at Gu Shen with hopeless eyes and said sarcastically: "I might as well tell you that I have lived in the Li family for seventy years and have climbed the Shenci Mountain a long time ago. I have seen every corner of this mountain. But...if there really is a so-called goddess, is she hiding in the well on the top of the mountain?"

"you are right."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "In a sense, she is indeed in the well."

"..."

The second elder looked at Gu Shen seriously, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.

He stopped talking.

The second elder suddenly felt very sympathetic to the young man in front of him.

He shook his head and said pitifully, "It turns out... your brain is broken."

Gu Shen just smiled.

After the second elder finished speaking, he was too lazy to waste time with Gu Shen. He waved his hand and left directly with the two elders... The purpose of this trip has been achieved. Regarding the [Light Searching] plan, Shenci Mountain gave a plan that can be called The “unexpected surprise” reply.

The antique lamp that Li spent a lot of money to get back is related to the divine fetus.

Six hundred years!

No one has ever seen the shadow of the divine fetus!

How many broken lamps can hatch a divine fetus?

This is simply the biggest joke the Second Elder...has ever heard in his seventy years of life.

none of them.
