Barrier of Light

Gu Lushen raised his head.

His gaze seemed to penetrate through the giant statues, layers of fog, and finally fell into the distant wilderness.

"After touching [Fire], I have not become stronger, nor have I been favored by fate..."

"It's just that an eye seems to have appeared in my heart, reminding me all the time that I am just an insignificant firefly. The real sun is Gu Changzhi who possesses fire and ascends to the throne of God."

"After he became a god, no matter how far away I was, I could feel that ray of heat..."

His voice was calm as he described the subtle changes in his body.

It's like telling a stranger's story.

"Whether it's day or night, whether I open my eyes or close my eyes, I can see it, I must see it... That [fire] is burning me all the time."

"This is not a gift—"

"This is a curse!"

[Tinder] reminds him all the time that compared to Gu Changzhi, he is just a loser.

This torture lasted for a long, long time.

Until... Gu Changzhi returned to Nagano for the last time.

Gu Lu smiled deeply and said, "And after he fell asleep, the ray of heat disappeared...for twenty years."

He said calmly: "So I knew from the beginning that the so-called faith of those in the old school has long been broken. It's just that I have been preparing for too long in order to wait for the final moment to come."

Starting an internal war within the Gu family requires a long period of planning.

And since twenty years ago, Gu Lushen began to prepare... And thus, today's situation emerged.

"And not long ago, the eye in my heart that had been extinguished for twenty years reopened... I knew it was Gu Changzhi's [fire], and it reappeared."

Gu Lushen said calmly: "It's a pity that the fire in that eye is too weak. How can it still have half of the power of the sun before?"

This was also the reason why he dared to enter the inner tomb alone.

If he was sure... Gu Changzhi was still alive.

Then he will end the civil war with the old faction as soon as possible.

But it's a pity.

The opening of that eye again reminded Gu Lushen that everything he had done over the years was correct.

Gu Shen could feel it.

The mist in the inner tomb began to flow, and the faint wind began to gather.

That was a sign that the formation was activated.

The guardian of the tomb did not respond to Gu Lushen's words, but silently activated the formation to clear the inner tomb of the tomb. It was obvious that she was on guard against Gu Lushen's sudden attack...

"Qianye, relax, I won't take action."

Gu Lushen heard the rushing wind beside his ears. He smiled and said in a good mood: "I came to Qingzhong today as a guest."

He originally thought that Gu Changzhi would become his lifelong nightmare.

He will suffer the pain of the burning sun in his heart every moment for the rest of his life.

But fate treated him well.

Twenty years of peace.

Today, I "opened my eyes" again and saw a ray of fireflies as weak as my own.

"Qianye...I've been thinking about it."

Gu Lushen asked quietly: "The people in Nagano regard you as a god just because Gu Changzhi is sleeping here. Your words are considered to be oracles, and everyone outside believes them. But if If Gu Changzhi is really dead, will they still think so? What if they know that you, who has divination skills, have told a big lie? Will they still trust you? "

An oracle with no desires or desires? A noble and selfless guardian?

No...this is just a fake saint who deceives the world and steals his reputation.

twenty years ago.

The throne is dead.

And in these years, Qianye has covered up the truth behind the scenes and blocked the Qingzhong mausoleum... These actions that were originally regarded as "divine blessings" will then become "crimes".

In the heavy fog, there is the sound of extraordinary source matter!

There was a "boom"!

A large formation is activated!

"Boom boom boom boom——"

The extraordinary beings waiting outside Qingzhong Cemetery looked pale as they looked at the extraordinary source of energy shaking in the inner tomb... Is this a fight?

They wanted to go in and help, but soon realized they might not be able to help.

The large arrays in the inner mausoleum were activated one after another, and the extraordinary source of matter soaring into the sky was like fireworks, covering the sky. Master Qianye, who controlled the array patterns, condensed a body with "spiritual power" and appeared on the top of the mountain several miles away. body.

Countless extraordinary sources make up this robe.

In the strong wind.

The black robe made a hunting sound.

Thousands of golden threads are entangled between the fingers and palms of this body.

The moment Qianye appeared, a palm had already touched Gu Lushen's forehead.

Behind her, thousands of formations were suspended, like independent caves one after another, shaking out ripples that were either golden or silver...

This was the first time Gu Shen saw such a scene.

He was deeply shocked by the scene of Master Qianye's attack. He never expected that all the formations in Qingzhong were activated, and there would be such a terrifying vision. No wonder the new sect of extraordinary beings who attacked Qingzhong all failed.

If all these formations launch an attack...

Even if your account is banned, you can't resist it at all, right?

…

…

"Sa."

"Sa."

The broken leaves on the mountains were torn apart by the strong wind, but in the center of the tornado, there was the ultimate silence.

The man sitting in the wheelchair still looked calm.

Gu Lushen was very satisfied with Master Qianye's "appearance", which also showed that... his previous words had an effect.

The tomb keeper also has something he cares about.

But I never expected it.

After Qianye gathered his body, the first thing he said was.

"He's not dead."

Gu Lushen was startled.

He frowned, somewhat incomprehensible... He originally thought that Qianye cared about the admiration and love of millions of people in Nagano, and she was worried about the gap after falling from the "altar".

But looking at it now, my understanding seems to have some deviations.

"Okay..." Gu Lushen didn't argue, he just shrugged in resignation and said calmly, "You seem to prefer to use the word 'sleep' to describe it. If you are happy, then use it."

Countless formation patterns opened up behind Qianye, putting a lot of pressure on him.

Although eight years have passed.

But if there really is a fight.

I'm afraid... I still can't get over it.

Qianye stared at Gu Lushen.

"I don't care what you say outside... I just hope you remember that even if there is a wisp of fire left, you can't tarnish it." Qianye's spiritual illusion on the top of the mountain said coldly, " Don't think that just because you have some relationship with [Fire], you become a 'sacred person'. Don't you know what you do in your heart?"

Gu Lushen narrowed his eyes: "What do you want to say?!"

As a bystander, Gu Shen now mastered most of the formations in the inner tomb. Although he could not guide and activate them like Master Qianye, he could still see most of the scenes in the inner tomb.

Gu Shen's expression changed slightly.

He felt that some strange changes seemed to have occurred in the location of the Four Seasons Wilderness.

Master Qianye's aura seemed to have weakened.

On the ancient tree that no one saw, Qianye was sitting upside down. He slowly opened a corner of his black robe, revealing his withered white forearm. Only the clean and dry bones of the forearm were left, but with the big robe He slowly lifted it up... and soon revealed the part of his upper arm that still had flesh and blood.

Unimaginable.

Her "flesh and blood" turned out to be composed of circles of golden threads.

Exactly the same as those divination threads of destiny woven all over the dome of the wilderness!

It's like a disassembled sweater, starting from the finger bones, using flesh and blood as feed, in exchange for the favor of the golden thread of divination... Every time a divination is performed, the physical body will be disassembled a little.

"Swish swish——"

Within the tomb, golden threads flowed and flew very quickly.

Qianye's flesh and blood was withdrawn in circles, and she was divining the past of "Gu Lushen".

It is true that she cannot divine things related to [Fire], but Gu Lushen is not a so-called god. As long as she is willing to pay the price, she can see his past experiences——

On top of the mountain.

Qianye sneered in a low voice: "If you touch [Fire], you will be cursed... It sounds really pitiful. Gu Changzhi seems to have become a heinous villain. But there are some words, can you deceive others or yourself? "

Gu Lushen's expression suddenly darkened.

"Is what you call 'touch' really just 'touch'?" Qianye said expressionlessly: "As a traitor who tried to steal [fire], he once failed to steal [fire], and the lesson he learned... You actually have the nerve to say it, if your followers know the truth, what will they think of you?"

Gu Lushen growled: "They won't believe it..."

The moment the words came out of his body, he suddenly fell silent.

The man in the wheelchair regained his senses instantly.

He took back all his voice.

My followers won’t believe it…

Qianye’s believers will naturally not believe it either...

There is another reason for his silence.

That is Master Qianye's anger, and it is not caused by being abandoned by the world as he just said.

She was just angry at herself for slandering Gu Changzhi, and at herself for trampling on the hope that Qingzhong held on to.

Perhaps from the beginning, Qianye firmly believed that Gu Changzhi was not dead.

"I'm not here...to fight with you."

Gu Lushen restrained all his emotions.

There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he asked softly: "I came here just to tell you something personally..."

"If Gu Changzhi dies, someone must inherit the fire."

Qianye looked directly at Gu Lushen.

The formations slowly fell into silence.

The gushing extraordinary source of essence dissipated.

She said only one word.

"roll."

Gu Lushen turned his wheelchair and slowly went down the mountain.

Before going down the mountain, he paused, looked back at Gu Shen, and asked a question with a smile.

"Do you know... why in the Gu family's civil war, the new faction will win?"

These were his last words.

After saying that.

The man went down the mountain alone, and the new sect of extraordinary people waited in fear. Finally, they found that the master of the family was safe and sound, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Lushen and his party left.

Gu Shen was still standing on the top of the hill in the mist.

He silently thought about the question asked by Gu Lushen.

Thinking back to the civil war in the Gu family eight years ago, a phenomenon occurred that many people did not understand... Why did Gu Lushen respond to a hundred responses and gain recognition from so many people, and why did the "old school" who gathered around the throne fall at a disadvantage?

But the answer is actually not difficult to think of.

People are willing to believe in a "god", but the premise is... that "god" is willing to treat them well.

A huge gap arose in the Gu family.

Is it because Gu Changzhi treats them badly?

No……

With the presence of Gu Changzhi, the Gu family deserves to be ranked number one in Nagano. Every member of the Gu family has received a gift from God invisibly.

But Gu Lushen launched a "civil war" and so many people were willing to join the "new faction" camp, not because Gu Changzhi was not good to them.

Just because... Gu Changzhi was not good enough to them.

What they gain is not worth what they are about to lose.

Since Gu Changzhi became the God of Dongzhou, the world structure and the federal government have undergone tremendous changes. Even if the changes in these decades are described as "earth-shaking", it is not an exaggeration.

The emergence of [Deep Sea].

Rapid technological breakthroughs.

The mystery of the extraordinary realm is revealed bit by bit.

In order to maintain the tranquility of the entire Dongzhou, Gu Changzhi personally established a super-large organization like "Three Institutes" to build an absolutely fair and extraordinary order platform.

Everything Gu Changzhi did was to stabilize the world, but at the same time... it was also weakening the influence of the Gu family.

The Gu family enjoys fewer and fewer privileges.

As a member of the "God Throne" tribe.

They could have gotten more…

But because of the selflessness of God, these benefits have become less and less.

There used to be such a joke.

Some people live in the wilderness, and some people live in Nagano.

Before Gu Changzhi became a god, Nagano was a holy city that countless extraordinary people dreamed of. The Snow Forbidden City had sealed objects, secret techniques, and ancient family inheritance. These mysterious gimmicks attracted countless extraordinary people to go there.

And now.

With [Deep Sea] and the three major offices, Nagano... is just Nagano.

An ancient city with a rich history.

Anyone can come.

Anyone can go.

Anyone can become famous here, as long as you have enough strength, you don't have to be named Gu or Mu Li from the White House.

The reason why the new sect was able to win was because those who joined the new sect wanted more... They wanted to gain more and greater privileges in this world, so they would definitely join Gu Lushen's ship.

Lord Gu Changzhi is a great god and a selfless sun.

He will burn himself out.

Of course...it will also burn everything around it.

And those "old sects" who pursue the will of God, if they follow them willingly, will only become embers after the sun burns.

The people Gu Lushen summoned were all smart people. They had seen the future situation and understood the biggest dilemma facing the Gu family.

Want to get light and heat.

But I don't want to burn.

Then... let the throne die.

…

…

Peace was restored in Qingzuka.

Qianye stood beside Gu Shen, she and Gu Shen stood side by side.

This time, it's not an illusion, but the real person.

There were no guardians in the Qing Tomb, and the formations could not move naturally. The extraordinary source of matter began to spill out, and a large oppressive lead cloud re-condensed above the zenith...but this process was very slow.

Gu Shen just stood on the hill, watching thousands of lead clouds pouring towards him.

After more than ten years of accumulation, the disordered essences in the entire East Continent have been deliberately collected and sent to Qingzhong. The amount of extraordinary essences here is much greater than that of Shenci Mountain.

He thought silently in his heart.

If one day, the Qingzhong Formation collapses and the world is destroyed, this is what it will look like, right?

"They all say... a tomb cannot be cleared for a day without a tombkeeper."

Qianye's voice was a little tired.

The conversation with Gu Lushen just now obviously took a lot of effort from her.

Gu Shen knew that a large part of the mental effort came from the final "divination"... Master Qianye must pay a heavy price for forcing him to look through Gu Lushen's past.

"But people will always die. If the guardian of the tomb dies, can the Qing Tomb still exist?"

This sentence can be heard with obvious sadness.

Seeing Gu Shen's expression changed.

"Don't worry...I can still live for a long time..."

Master Qianye spoke quickly, with a voice that only he could hear, and murmured in his heart: "He is still alive, how can I die?"

She looked back behind her.

"I really hope these formations... can operate on their own."

Qianye's voice was filled with emotion, and she smiled softly, "I'm not a saint, but I'm not an indifferent person either. After staying here for twenty years, I often think that if one day, it's time to say goodbye, What should I do with the formations here? Nagano cannot live without a clear grave. If I leave, this cemetery will only be abandoned."

Gu Shen was silent for a while.

He said seriously: "I have understood 80% of the Qingzuka Formation Pattern."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious.

Until then, I can take over from you.

Qianye's eyes under the mask were obviously relieved, but she soon shook her head and said: "During the days of practicing in Qingzhong, I saw you often standing on this hill and looking out into the distance."

Gu Shen practiced the formation patterns in the Qing Tomb, forgetting all sleep and food, and sat all day long.

And when he has free time, he does like to look far away.

Because...there are people he cares about far away.

He was thinking about the girl under the well of Shenci Mountain.

"How can a person who longs for distant places be locked up in a place like Qingzhong?"

Qianye spoke softly and said with a smile: "Qingzhong is a cemetery for the dead and a cage for the living. Only people like me who are heartbroken should stay here... When you finish learning ancient Chinese in the future, you don't have to come again. ”

Gu Shen lowered his eyes, smiled softly, and said, "Actually... I quite like it here."

in the rumors outside.

Gu Shen and the second successor of divination, that stunning woman, lived a "carefree" life in the tomb together.

When he stood outside the mountain and looked out into the distance, he often thought, how great would it be if it were really as rumored outside?

"That girl, will she come to clear the tomb in the future?"

Master Qianye looked into Gu Shen's eyes.

She asked this question.

She had almost never divined Gu Shen's fate...but after agreeing to Gu Shen's request to accept two apprentices, out of curiosity, she used divination to listen to the sounds outside.

Those people in Nagano must not have imagined it.

Even the tomb keeper himself was curious about the news about the "stunning woman".

Gu Shen smiled.

He smiled brightly, "Of course... I will bring her to see you. She has always been interested in your divination skills."

Master Qianye also smiled.

"OK."

She stood on the top of the mountain where Gu Shen often looked into the distance, looked into the distance, and said softly: "At that time, I will teach her the art of divination."
