Barrier of Light

really.

The old man's intuition is still very accurate.

Gu Shen took out the letter from the inside of his clothes.

"When people grow old, they tend to be sad about spring and autumn."

Gu Qilin did not open the letter directly, but put it away and said with a slight smile: "This boy has some conscience and left me a letter... But if he really had a conscience, how could he Why don't you just leave me a letter?"

After waking up from a drowsy state in the cemetery.

He learned the entire story of the Qingzuka Incident...

The news of Gu Changzhi's death was a huge shock to everyone in Nagano.

As for the Gu family, let alone that.

"I heard that you have been in the cemetery."

Gu Qilin said meaningfully: "The last divine battle...did you also see it?"

Gu Shen was startled.

He nodded and said: "I was quite lucky. I was wrapped in Mr. Gu Changzhi's golden divine realm, and I vaguely saw some scenes of the battle between gods. The battle was very fierce."

"I heard that Hades also showed up?" Gu Qilin asked again.

"..."

Gu Shen thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Old man, I just saw a large black cloud covering the sky and the sun. It is said that it is the dark cloud of Pluto, but I can't see the more specific details of the picture clearly."

"Um."

Gu Qilin said calmly: "People outside say that Pluto is still alive...but I always feel that something is not right."

Gu Shen kept an eye on it.

He asked cautiously: "Why did you say that?"

"In the early years, Pluto stayed in my Gu family's residence for a period of time... Based on my understanding of him, even if he is willing to take action for Dongzhou, he will not do good deeds without leaving his name."

Gu Qilin tapped the wheelchair lightly with his fingers and frowned: "After killing the Dionysus, he disappeared like this. It doesn't fit with his style of doing things."

"Twenty years have passed..."

Gu Shen said slowly: "Maybe he has changed."

"Or maybe he was seriously injured and his happiness will not last long." Gu Qilin smiled and said: "Personally, I prefer the latter one, but this guy is by no means a good person, and often disasters lead to longevity... …”

Speaking of which.

The old man paused and sighed, "No wonder he is alive today."

Gu Shen felt a little complicated after hearing these words.

He remembered something, so he asked insinuatingly: "I heard that after Pluto's 'death' was confirmed by the federal government, the prison recycled his belongings?"

"oh?"

When Gu Qilin heard this, he looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

He was not surprised by the news.

But he was surprised...why did Gu Shen know this news?

"I was in the Golden God Realm and heard what Mr. Shan said." Gu Shen smiled and said, "Mr. Shan seems to be afraid that Pluto will settle accounts with his wife."

"He really should be afraid."

Gu Qilin smiled jokingly, "He is also a god after all. The investigation corps of Beizhou is still looking for traces... He dared to lead people to evacuate the Pluto's Mansion. It was an old house in the Snow Forbidden City. Twenty Years have passed and it has been completely abandoned. I still remember that when Pluto had just confirmed that something had happened, Shan took his right assistant and took the opportunity to search the entire mansion carefully, only to find that there were no precious objects in it. The only thing that contains extraordinary power is a few drawings with unknown meanings."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He didn't expect that Mr. Shan, who seemed mature and steady now, would be so crazy twenty years ago.

What if Hades comes back.

What should he do?

"Twenty years ago, when the Third Institute was just established, he was not yet the Grand Inquisitor. He desperately wanted to settle down in Nagano and make contributions. Clearing out the Hades Mansion was a kind of gambling. He did it, and then caused a lot of trouble in the Snow Forbidden City. The attention of big shots." Gu Qilin said calmly: "Actually, there are many people in Dongzhou who don't like Pluto."

Gu Shen nodded slowly.

He had come into contact with Pluto's fire, which contained a cold, miserable, and sad spiritual aura.

It is completely opposite to Mr. Gu Changzhi’s awe-inspiring atmosphere in the four seasons wilderness.

Anyone who comes into contact with such negative mental fluctuations will not like it.

It's just...tinder is neither good nor bad.

It all depends on the user's wishes.

Just like the fire of wine... This was supposed to be a joyous force that spread the sweet rain and eliminated distress, but under Di Jiu's control, it spread into a disaster. The Dionysian believers in the Tower of Source over the years have done This incident has seriously violated the oath Di Jiu made when he was smelting fire.

He probably understood what happened twenty years ago.

There are many people in Dongzhou who don't like Hades.

And that mansion will have to be inspected sooner or later.

The young "Mr. Shan" decided to fight for the first place, and he did win. By investigating the palace of Hades, he was recognized by many people.

"After searching the mansion, there are only a few drawings of unknown meaning?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Hades leave behind any powerful sealed artifact?"

"hehe……"

The old man couldn't help but shook his head, "You don't know how a person like Pluto could leave important objects behind after leaving the world of five continents. He is an extremely conceited person, claiming that he can even see through fate... In that mansion, if If something useful is really left behind, it will never be left to the Dongzhou government. As far as I know, the reason why the Beizhou Survey Corps is so frantically pursuing the whereabouts of Pluto is because he left nothing behind! "

"..."

Gu Shen's expression was subtle and completely silent.

Good guy!

Was the previous Pluto so diligent and frugal?

However...even Mr. Gu's information is not complete.

At least Pluto kept the "Ruler of Truth", and after much tossing and turning, it came into the hands of A-009. Judging from the time, it seems to be the deployment he made before leaving Wuzhou... In this way, in the end, Gu In the divine battle between Changzhi and Pluto, neither side was at their peak strength. Mr. Gu Changzhi experienced an unprecedented black hole storm and was seriously injured, while Pluto faintly fell into a state of mental loss, and he left his weapons in Wuzhou in advance.

These clues were connected together, and Gu Shen suddenly felt that there was a lot of mystery to what happened many years ago.

Since Pluto is a "selfish" person in the eyes of the world.

How could such a person abandon his weapon on the way to the old world?

Could it be that...did he foresee his loss of control in advance?

In order to prevent a devastating disaster caused by loss of control, you choose to throw away the "footprint of truth"?

Or, in order to fight against losing control, throw away the ruler?

Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

"The breathing method, the sealed object, the inheritance...he took all the blessings that a god should have left to the world."

The words of old man Gu Qilin brought him back to reality: "The only objects left in the world that are known to the federal government and are related to Pluto are those drawings with unknown meanings, and all the relics of the mansion have been collected by the prison. , but even if there is no progress in deciphering it so far, I think it is not an important object at all."

Gu Shen came to his senses and said with a smile: "...That's it."

"Why, you seem to be very interested in Hades?"

Mr. Gu looked at Gu Shen and found that the latter's expression was not normal.

"After all, I've seen it up close, so I'm very curious."

Gu Shen answered sincerely.

"Too……"

The old man nodded. It is understandable that a twenty-year-old young man is at the right age to worship the name of the God's throne.

Being in such close contact, even if you just feel a ray of divine power, you will be greatly shocked.

"It's not a good thing to see Hades."

Gu Qilin thought for a while and reminded: "It's best to stay away from him. It is said that he is an old unlucky man. Anyone who is associated with Pluto will not end well."

"Is this..."

Gu Shen's smile became a little stiff.

"certainly."

The old man smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Gu Shen on the shoulder, "Young man, more than 20 years ago, it was very unlucky to see Hades. I am resting in the ancestral hall these days. I suggest you come more often these days. Come on, let's chat and disperse the bad luck. The Gu family ancestral hall has the richest heritage among the five families. It has good mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. Have you seen that century-old tree? It guards the entrance of the ancestral hall. It is evergreen all year round and can resist Everything is ominous.”

He was high-spirited and pointed at the evergreen banyan tree at the door.

Recuperating alone is really boring.

And many of the young people in the family who came to greet them were "middle-class people". The more they looked at each other, the more angry they became. It would be better not to see them. Mr. Gu thought silently in his heart that it would be better to see more outstanding young people like Nanfeng Gu Shen. Stay in a good mood.

Gu Shen couldn't resist the old man.

He asked guiltily: "Then... shall I come again tomorrow?"

"Come." The old man was in a good mood. "If you can come every day, I can live to be two hundred years old."

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart.

He agreed to the matter and left the Gu clan hall, feeling vaguely in his heart that what the old man said seemed to be true.

After leaving the cemetery, an ominous feeling emerged in my heart more than once.

I thought it was just a coincidence.

But if you think about it carefully, this happened after the connection with Pluto's fire.

His "pure land" has absorbed the spiritual power of Pluto's fire. Before that, during a year of spiritual cultivation in Nagano, Gu Shen's "spectator's state of mind" was extremely stable and had never been contaminated by a trace of ominousness.

Long night alley.

Gu Shen stood still, narrowed his eyes, and looked back at his own shadow.

The wind blew through the alley, blowing his clothes and hair.

But that shadow was like an iron nail, nailed to the ground.

Just a few seconds later...Shadow's robe flew up in the wind, and everything returned to what it was before.

Could it be that Pluto's fire really has "ominous" qualities?

…

…

"You finally woke up?"

This was the first sentence Shen Li heard.

Then he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw two faces surrounding him.

"What the hell...?!"

Anyone who sees the two faces of Gong Zi and Mu Nan appearing at the same time will exclaim like this.

The little iron man woke up in an instant, sat up suddenly, and found himself on a lawn. The morning sun was particularly dazzling, and his clothes were particularly revealing. The official uniform was torn into several large strips of cloth. , there are still bits and pieces of frozen ice.

These are not important.

The important thing is that Gong Zi and Mu Nan, these two ugly and dirty faces are only a few dozen centimeters away from me... It seems that they may attack me at any time.

"What are you going to do? Get out!"

Shen Li roared in horror and despair.

The two shook their heads disdainfully, and dispersed backwards as Shen Li wished, and then...revealed the onlookers from further away, including Gu Shen, Li Qingsui, Uncle Gao, extraordinary people from the Li family, and Gong Mu. There were some old acquaintances from the prison.

so many people? !

Shen Li was stunned and hugged his tattered robe desperately.

How is this going?

The remaining memory in my mind is still in the ice and snow scene of the cemetery.

If I remember correctly.

Before falling asleep, the last person he saw was the incomparable beauty Chu.

Why did I see these two idiots when I woke up?

"You are really good at sleeping. You were in a coma for nearly two days."

Gong Zi pursed her lips and explained: "A lot of things happened in the cemetery, but now everything has calmed down... Only you are still asleep. We gathered together, of course to watch the excitement, everyone wants to Let’s see how long you can sleep.”

"???"

Shen Li was sluggish.

At this moment, someone smiled and handed over a big robe.

"Brother Gu..."

Shen Li put it on, still a little confused.

"Your state is quite special, your spirit has been frozen." Gu Shen said softly: "Because you are too close to the Great Cold Disaster Realm, it will take a long time to wake up..."

"This is... Qingzuka?"

Shen Li's lips were dry and he looked around, catching a glimpse of the broken greenery.

"yes."

Gu Shen nodded. After the turmoil in the cemetery calmed down, he placed Shen Li near the inner mausoleum.

Senior Bai Shu is currently in the cemetery.

There is the warm power emitted by the fighting fire here, which can nourish the soul. Being closer to it can play a very good healing role for Shen Li. It will naturally resolve the ice and snow in the Great Cold Disaster Realm faster.

"Today is the funeral in the cemetery..."

Gu Shen sent a message: "These people are here to attend the funeral."

Only then did Shen Li realize that there were indeed many people outside the lawn where he was. Everyone was wearing formal clothes and looking solemn.

He saw familiar faces in the crowd.

Among them are teachers.

The teacher seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

The spirit frozen by the great cold disaster slowly recovered, and the broken memories surged in like a sea tide.

Shen Li's face was livid, he held Gu Shen's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Gu...you, are you okay?"

"Xu Yan has been killed by me."

Gu Shen looked gentle and patted the back of Shen Li's palm, telling him not to worry.

Shen Li witnessed Xu Yan's killing with his own eyes.

Then he was hunted.

After killing Xu Yan, Gu Shen saw the entire pursuit process from Xu Yan's broken memory.

All this didn't end until Shen Li escaped into the inner mausoleum and met himself... Before he fell asleep, he was still worried about whether he would die in Xu Yan's hands, and whether the entire cemetery would be destroyed in this huge conspiracy. .

So he woke up and subconsciously voiced his worst fears.

After getting a positive answer.

The little iron man breathed a long sigh of relief.

He then remembered something important and quickly came to Li Yu, saying with a pale face: "Teacher... Senior Brother Zou is dead... He died to save me..."

As soon as this statement came out.

The expressions of the onlookers became depressed, especially those officials from the prison who came to attend the funeral.

The Fourth Judge Li Yu, although he had white hair previously, was in his prime and looked very handsome. However, after experiencing the changes in the cemetery, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Except for Shen Li, all of his disciples died young and died in the heavy snow in the cemetery.

Just because I encountered a lot of disgust.

If possible, Li Yu hopes that Xu Yan is not dead. In this case, he will have the opportunity to kill this evil man with his own hands!

"I...know..."

Regarding the things Xu Yan did in the cemetery.

Gu Shen brought out that memory and re-uploaded it in the deep sea...

This incident made many people in Nagano angry.

I don't know how many people were blinded by this S-class.

He alone caused the largest casualties in the cemetery...many people did not die under the impact of the snow tide or the impact of the divine war, but died in the hands of Xu Yan and were "hunted" by him!

Many people here came to attend the funeral.

But Li Yu came to the cemetery early, he was here to wait for his last disciple to wake up... Now that Shen Li woke up, the biggest stone in Li Yu's heart fell to the ground.

The crisp sound of bells sounded in the distance, which was the sound of the formations at Qingzhong Cemetery.

"The funeral... is about to begin."

Li Yu took a deep breath, patted his disciple on the shoulder, and said softly, "I will feel at ease if you wake up."

…

…

The bell rings.

All the people who entered the cemetery from the five major families and the three major institutes gathered one after another.

They came to the hillside of the inner tomb.

The mountain is not high.

There is a faint mist lingering around, making it hard to see clearly at first glance.

This wisp of mist means that the Qingzhong Cemetery has begun to repair. Starting from the inner tomb, it will revive from the desolation bit by bit, and then return to its former integrity.

Qingzhong Cemetery, which was originally under lockdown and reconstruction, has deliberately relaxed restrictions today.

A total of one hundred and ninety-six extraordinary people died in the tomb clearing incident that shocked Dongzhou.

In addition... Mr. Gu Changzhi, known as the God of War in Dongzhou, has passed away forever.

The memorial service for this grand funeral will be held today.

People stood solemnly in front of the mountain.

The whole ceremony was extremely depressing.

The deceased is gone, and the living should move on... Everyone understands this truth, but only those who have personally experienced separation can realize what it means to say goodbye.

It often rains in Qingzhong, but unexpectedly not a drop of rain fell today.

At the end of the funeral, when it was about to end... a large black cloud floated in the distant sky.

"It's Hades!"

The people with titles from three institutes and five major houses all felt their hearts drop.

They didn't dare to release their spiritual power, let alone raise their heads to take a closer look... The spiritual power in that big black cloud was filled with a depressing and gloomy atmosphere.

In fact.

There is also an element of coincidence in choosing to hold the ceremony here.

This is the hilltop where Gu Shen first understood the formation patterns in the cemetery, and it is also the farthest distance from which he can sense the "Pluto's Fire".

Mr. Gu Changzhi entered the "Pure Land" from this mountain world and then left forever.

Today's funeral... It is impossible for Gu Shen to expand the Pure Land and bring all these people into it.

What he can do is to activate a small ray of power from "Pluto's Fire" and then summon such a black cloud.

After the black cloud condensed.

The already solemn funeral became even more depressing.

Gu Shen is not proficient in controlling the "Pluto Fire". It can even be said that... he cannot master the power of fire yet. All he can do now is to summon this black cloud to show respect to Mr. Gu Changzhi.

As for severance...

This may take some time.

After a long time, the black cloud dispersed, which made the funeral that was supposed to end much longer.

Because of the gaze of "Pluto", after the funeral, the extraordinary people from the three schools and five families left the cemetery one after another under the leadership of their teachers and elders. They actually wanted to stay for a while, but the big black cloud above their heads made it difficult for them to do so. Too scary.

…

…

After the funeral, Shen Li and Li Yu left together.

The two masters and apprentices were walking with Mr. Shan and his entourage. In the prison team, the mourning was beyond words... But they left the place very early. During the mourning process, Mr. Shan seemed to often look up at the black clouds. After the funeral, he was the first big shot to give the order to leave the cemetery.

"Please stay."

A very soft voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Li turned around and looked at Gu Shen.

Next to Gu Shen was the girl Chu who saved his life in the cemetery. She was giving him a friendly smile...

Shen Li quickly smiled back, and then whispered to Gu Shen: "This is..."

"Your sister-in-law." Gu Shen replied without changing his expression.

Shen Li silently extended a thumb.

What did he just want to say.

I just felt a tearing feeling in my mind.

"Teacher... I always feel like there is something extra in my mind."

Shen Li hissed and looked at the teacher with a slightly painful expression.

Li Yu was startled and asked caringly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No... I just felt that there was something making a sound."

Shen Li shook his head. He rubbed his eyebrows and felt his head was swollen.

Could it be that my memory has not fully awakened?

This anomaly has attracted the attention of many people.

Li Yu stopped, and his colleagues in the prison also stopped one after another. Several judges gathered in front of Shen Li.

Everyone used their spiritual power to sense it, but no one felt anything strange.

There was a commotion.

Even Mr. Shan walked over quickly, "What's going on?"

Mr. Shan's voice sounded confused.

"Xiao Shen... is not in good spirits." Li Yu frowned and whispered, "Presiding Judge, can you help me take a look."

Mr. Shan's expression was solemn. He stretched out a palm and put it on Shen Li's shoulder, trying to sense Shen Li's spirit.

Shen Li looked pale and looked up at the large black clouds on the dome.

this moment.

The expression of the Grand Judge suddenly changed.

In a daze, he seemed to see a black vertical pupil, opening towards him!

That's... Hades' gaze!

When the black cloud descended, he vaguely felt something was wrong. It might be an illusion, or it might be a real spiritual feeling... He felt that something was staring at him.

The only explanation is naturally Pluto.

At this moment, a very soft voice followed Shen Li's spirit and reached Mr. Shan's mind.

That sound didn't have any lethality.

Yes, it's just a deterrent.

"What you borrowed must be returned."
