Barrier of Light

The Ancient Literature Society has never been a powerful organization known to the world.

They were extinguished by the [Deep Sea] before they started a true "prairie fire".

As an ember, it is extremely difficult to ensure that you can burn tenaciously and persistently.

Kuang Lun... What about another prairie fire?

In the small courtyard of Xuankong Mountain, Gu Shen was silent for a while.

Chu Ling said this.

He really needs to be mentally prepared.

Over the past year, he has been making similar preparations for this matter... His cultivation realm and the responsibilities he wants to shoulder cannot be improved by simply improving, nor can he be borne by assuming responsibility.

"So……"

Chu Ling saw that Gu Shen stopped talking, so he asked in a very soft voice: "In a week, the list will come out... Do you want to see it?"

"want."

"of course yes."

Gu Shen's answer was without hesitation.

He silently clenched his fists and said hoarsely: "It's just that guy with the code name '031'... you don't have to look for it."

"I kind of know who he is."

…

…

Gu Shen once again made a request to "see the Queen."

After the Holy Inquisitor left the courtyard, he only had one important thing left.

But the Legion Commander's reply was "Waiting".

So Gu Shen had no choice but to continue to meditate in the small courtyard, but in fact, for him, staying in the small courtyard of Xuankong Mountain was no hindrance, because even if he returned to Dongzhou, he would still be in the Shenci Mountain and Qingzhong Cemetery. Two points and one line.

Cultivation is such a boring thing.

However, Gu Shen had already found the "direction of enlightenment", and he began to focus on exploring his own "blazing fire".

If Mu Wanqiu's guess is correct——

Then I still have another chance to understand the "field embryo"!

My own "blazing fire" doesn't have an exclusive domain yet!

While he was meditating in the courtyard, Chu Ling reminded Gu Shen that there was an "important" email in his mailbox.

It was Grand Duke Xiangchen who sent the invitation again.

Because of the pressure from the Holy Inquisitor, Gu Shen practiced behind closed doors some time ago and declined all invitations. The "Beizhou dignitaries" who were watching and waiting in silence also wisely stopped disturbing them. After the Holy Inquisitor left, they became active again. .

Gu Shen will ignore these guys.

But he agreed to meet with "Grand Duke Xiangchen".

This is actually an invitation sent by "Xiang Chen" on behalf of his disciple Li Bing. The meeting place is also in Xiang Chen's manor.

The reason why Gu Shen agreed was not only because the Grand Duke had a good reputation and good character.

more importantly--

He took a fancy to the "ancient prose" in Grand Duke Xiangchen's house!

Grand Duke Xiangchen is good at teaching his disciples and has many students all over the world. He and Qianye are even old friends... There are only a handful of people in the five continents who can become "friends" with Master Qianye.

…

…

According to the agreed time and place, Gu Shen arrived on time.

Grand Duke Xiangchen's manor was located in the suburbs outside the main city of Central City, not far from Xuankong Mountain.

This Grand Duke does not pursue "power" or "status".

Therefore, his manor, except for a few attendants and servants gifted by the royal family, can be regarded as quite simple. As soon as he entered the garden, a dedicated person took Gu Shen forward, passing by several flower beds and a rockery, to symbolically "take a look." "He went to the main hall.

Grand Duke Xiangchen sat in the main seat, taking some time to relax.

As for the real initiator of this invitation, the "Dongning City" garrison, Li Bing, was standing beside the teacher respectfully.

"Grand Duke Xiangchen."

Gu Shen entered the hall, followed Nagano's custom, smiled and saluted, "Mr. Li."

Xiangchen smiled and stroked his beard, signaling Gu Shen not to be polite and sit down quickly.

Li Bing next to him was flattered by the title of "Mr. Li" and quickly bowed in return... The young man's expression was very respectful. It could be seen that he respected his teacher and paid great attention to etiquette. He even returned the greeting. The etiquette is strictly in accordance with the standards of the Snow Forbidden City.

These details were all noticed by Gu Shen.

After he took his seat, hot tea was ready on the table beside him.

After taking a small sip, Gu Shen did not hesitate and asked directly with a smile: "Grand Duke Xiangchen, I wonder what the reason for your invitation today is?"

If you want to invite someone, it doesn’t have to be at a dinner party.

As the "Grand Duke Xiangchen", it is not difficult to see him.

It’s a bit strange to directly invite people in front of so many people...

"Mr. Xiao Gu is a smart man." Xiangchen smiled and said, "Actually, today's invitation is not for me, but for my disciple..."

He stood up and introduced to Gu Shen again: "Li Bing, because he was valued by the commander of the Second Army, Silver Fox, he was transferred to Dongning City Fortress last year to be responsible for garrison and command. This is a small fortress. Although it is not It’s big, but it’s the ‘key city’ responsible for connecting the main wing and the flanks.”

Gu Shen listened carefully and looked at it briefly.

The young man named "Li Bing" has clear eyes and a green smile on his face. He seems to be about the same age as himself... At this age, it is probably quite possible to sit in the position of "Dongning City Garrison". able.

However, being able to attend the Central City Underground Research Institute's dinner is enough to prove his excellence.

But, what does this have to do with me?

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, the purpose of this invitation is actually very simple."

Xiangchen saw what Gu Shen meant, and he got straight to the point and said: "Over the years, the four major legions of Beizhou, plus the survey legion...the number of extraordinary people has been decreasing. As the environment of the [Old World] becomes more and more... As things get worse, missions out of the fortress are becoming more and more difficult, and each fortress and each legion is beginning to lack manpower."

Hearing this, Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He probably guessed the content of the conversation in this invitation——

"In the past, Guangming City would transport a large number of 'transcendents' to the fortresses." Xiangchen said slowly with a complicated expression: "But starting from the past few years, the number of reinforcements from Xizhou has become less and less, and Guangming City has begun to cultivate a large number of people." "Holy Judge', the garrison pressure on Beizhou Fortress has increased. The parliament has discussed it many times, but there has been no improvement..."

Gu Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Grand Duke Xiangchen is really a "saint".

To hope that Parliament would improve the situation...is a bit naive.

The relationship between Lin and Guangming City is no longer the same as it used to be. The decisions made by the God of Light in the past few years are enough to prove this... If he really wants to tie up interests with Lin, how can the Goddess of Light release " The words "regret the marriage"?

Based on Gu Shen's understanding of the Gods, everything that happened can be speculated on using "conspiracy theories."

After all...in a sense, the throne of God is the supreme chess player, the master who controls everything.

All the "changes" that occurred in this chess game were things he allowed and hoped to happen.

“So, you hope to relieve stress through ‘Dongzhou’.”

Gu Shen pointed out Xiangchen's purpose and said slowly: "Finding me is a better and more effective way than finding other people..."

Now in Dongzhou, on the north and south sides, there are Huazhi and the Five Families respectively, controlling the situation.

And if you understand the development history of Dongzhou in recent years, you will find that... Gu Shen is the only key figure who can "radiate" influence to the two super regions of Nagano Metropolitan.

Qinghe was born in poverty, Huazhi absolutely defended himself, he was a disciple of Master Qianye, and heir to the art of divination...

Gu Shen has absolutely first-class "influence" and "charisma" in the nine major districts of Dongzhou.

"This is my idea."

Li Bing stood up and said softly: "Mr. Gu Shen, in fact, your trip to Beizhou is already a big 'publicity'. As long as you are willing to call on the young people in Dongzhou to come to Beizhou Legion to hone their skills." , then the pressure on the fortress will be relieved soon."

Gu Changzhi died.

Dongzhou needs a new "soul"——

That new "soul", today's Baishu God, is not suitable. He is an old man of the same era as Gu Changzhi. When the wave has passed, Dongzhou needs a new "hero", and this hero should preferably be a young man.

There is now a suitable candidate for this hero.

"With all due respect, you will become a living 'legend'."

Li Bing looked directly into Gu Shen's eyes. He finally got his wish and met this young genius who was also born in Qinghe. His voice was still a little uncontrollable with excitement: "I understand your deeds, needless to say the ones in Dongzhou. ...You came to Beizhou, solved the [Maze] mission of the 'Kunbao', miraculously survived the storm with the ace members of the Survey Corps, and also relieved the 'spiritual crisis' of the Kubao Fortress, and then you and The Beizhou captains went to the 'Doru River' to perform a mission, and together with His Majesty, they captured the [Old World] God's Throne..."

"Stop, stop... stop for a moment."

Gu Shen couldn't help but stretched out his hand to interrupt Li Bing.

Gu Shen actually didn't like this kind of flattery.

When he did these things, he never thought that he would become a "legend" and be sought after... And there was clearly a hint of fanaticism in the eyes of the young man in front of him. If he didn't interrupt it, I'm afraid Li Bing would become even more " Passionate".

Gu Shen frowned and said: "Mr. Li, you don't need to say anything more... If you want to carry out propaganda in Dongzhou and attract more extraordinary beings to enter Beizhou, I have no objection. But what I did in Beizhou , there is no need to use it as 'propaganda' material. If the extraordinary beings from Dongzhou really come to Beizhou Fortress, then they should not be pursuing some man-made 'legend', they should have their own enlightenment."

"..."

Li Bing was slightly startled.

"Xiao Li, calm down."

Following Xiangchen's warning, he realized his gaffe, lowered his head again, and stood back silently.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, please forgive me... He is still too young after all."

Xiangchen stood up quickly to ease the atmosphere. The elderly Grand Duke of Beizhou said in a soft voice: "So, regarding this matter... what do you mean?"

"I will help, but I am definitely not helping to summon you. I can ensure that this issue will attract the attention of Her Majesty the Queen and the White Art Throne, and the two of them will make separate contacts."

Gu Shen said calmly: "In matters that push the continent forward, personal will like you and me cannot play a decisive role... The more fanatical you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. I think it's not just Mr. Li who needs to be calm. , and you, Grand Duke Xiangchen.”
