Barrier of Light

There was silence in Chunyu Temple for a second.

"No, you just remembered it?"

Li Qingsui muttered softly: "You weren't faking it before, were you?"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"Okay, everyone, we have a rare gathering, and finally everyone is here."

Gu Shen stood up and closed the page, "Shen Li, brother Qingyang, please stop fighting... Don't forget that Mr. Gu is hosting today. It's almost one o'clock, we have to leave."

Unknowingly, everyone who had been laughing and joking in the Spring Rain Temple was already standing on the high ground of Nagano.

Perhaps this is why both continents want to elect Gu Shen to become the "hub".

He has a strange magical power that attracts everyone -

Before Gu Shen came to Nagano, no one could have imagined that the future leaders of the three schools and five families would meet in a courtyard.

Nowadays, even getting together once a year is a luxury.

There is no snow in the Snow Forbidden City tonight.

But the wine glasses collided, causing countless cheerful laughter.

…

…

Late at night, everyone left.

Gu Shen walked in the alley of the Snow Forbidden City.

"...Gu Shen!"

Someone called him from behind.

Chu Ling took over [Wind Eye] and erased the image in the deep alley. The banquet tonight was very lively, but after the banquet, Zhonggui couldn't hold back after all, and he took the initiative to find Gu Shen.

After the Sky Sheath Incident.

He lost his memory, but found it again when he stepped into the courtyard today.

Tsuka Oni is not a fool.

He was present when the sky sheath collapsed twice in a row... Nagano should have launched an investigation into such a major event long ago. Logically speaking, he should have been carefully examined.

But this matter happened just like that.

No wind or waves.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Tsukauki suppressed his confusion, "If you don't ask me how I retrieved my memory, or how I solved the 'storm equation', don't you have anything you want to ask?"

"..."

Gu Shen turned around.

The reason why Tsuka Oni was able to transfer away from the Sky Sheath Weapon Base.

That was his proposal.

Calling the Tsuka Oni back to Nagano to rest was also part of the plan... But Gu Shen really didn't expect that this guy would regain his memory so quickly. He originally thought that it would take a long time for the Tsuka Oni to remember what happened in Nagano. things experienced.

"Yes, I have."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I asked, will you tell the truth?"

Tsukasa was startled.

The two looked at each other in the alley.

Gu Shen calmly looked into Zhonggui's eyes. These eyes were too familiar to him.

In the dreamland of black snow mountain.

When the traveler who was pierced by a spear raised his head to look at himself, what he showed was a pair of eyes like this.

In the meetings where the curse of the sky sheath was removed.

Gu Shen is already infinitely close to the "answer"——

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what the truth is.

In fact, when Gu Shen stepped into the dreamland of the Black Snow Mountain for the second time, he felt "familiar". He always felt that in that dry and broken body that could be broken at any time, there might be a young and confused soul...

An unlucky guy.

"I……"

Zhonggui opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Gu's investigation into you has been suspended. I called for it to be stopped."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The night watchmen work 24 hours a day, and your images in the two bases are all recorded... The data shows that when you are in retreat to interpret ancient texts, you often fall into drowsiness. This situation has not changed over time. Relief, after you came to the Tianshuo base, it often appeared, and you fell asleep erratically. The report Gu currently showed was 'nerve damage'. This is a reason that cannot be found wrong. If this happens again in the future , remember to bite it to death.”

"???"

Tsukauki was a little confused.

The amount of information Gu Shen just said was indeed a bit too much.

Tsukauki reacted for several seconds, "Are you helping me?"

"Otherwise? You have lost your memory, not your mind."

Gu Shen was a little helpless, "It's good that you have recovered your memory now, but remember what I just said...when you fall asleep, remember to complain that you have a headache. As long as you insist that your head is uncomfortable, then Gu's report can always be issued, everyone. I won’t doubt anything, after all, it’s normal for an unlucky guy who’s been hit twice by the Sky Sheath to have some problems with his head.”

Tsukauki fell completely silent.

This time he came to Gu Shen and wanted to talk about some "taboo things".

For example, the dream of the black snow mountain that troubled me.

And the dry body that binds his soul.

During the few months when he lost his memory, the only person he knew was Gu Shen... He didn't know if the disaster dream was real. If so, he hoped that Gu Shen could give him some answers.

So here he is.

Now he got his first answer.

That dream... was real!

After a long time, Tsukasa calmed down and said, "Thank you... I will remember it."

"Also, sometimes don't show off."

Gu Shen rambled and said: "Seventy percent of the stuff in your head, just pour out three or two percent. Now that it's all poured out, what will others think of you? I won't pull you out of the Sky Sheath Base this time. ...The next research target of those research team members may not be the 'Storm Equation', but you."

"One step ahead of one's time is called genius."

"Going beyond two steps, three steps, a hundred steps...that's called madness."

"Do you know how terrifying the power of the Skysheath bomb with 70% activity is?"

Gu Shen cursed angrily: "Five hundred meters under the frozen lake, I almost blew up to pieces!"

"I……"

Tsukauki covered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know why, but I remember these... that 'equation', those codes, and ancient texts... It seems to be engraved in my blood, I can't forget it. If it falls, I can’t control it.”

"sorry Sorry……"

Tsukauki leaned against the wall and his tone became weaker.

He took the initiative to come to Gu Shen. He originally had many things to ask, but he knew that he was wrong after the first confrontation. How could he be Gu Shen's opponent? This guy didn't play according to the routine at all. Now his mind was in a mess and he was completely passive.

Gu Shen sighed softly.

His eyes looked at the unfortunate guy, and his eyes softened a lot: "Okay, I forgive you... Is there anything else?"

"..."

"If you have nothing to do, go back and have a good rest. Remember to continue 'disassembling' the ancient text I gave you when you go back. I will pick it up from you in two days." Gu Shen turned around and waved his hand.

The Tsuka ghost, who was leaning against the stone wall of the alley, asked in a very soft voice: "How do you know...I know?"

Gu Shen paused.

Tsukauki said: "So... that dream is indeed real, right?"

Gu Shen looked back slightly and looked at the pale face of the ghost in the moonlight.

There are some things that cannot be investigated thoroughly.

On mission in Dolu River...

The Beizhou Legion has made many sacrifices...

And Central City's re-ascension relies on the traveler's fire...

So even in the Qingzhong Cemetery where only the two of them were alone, Mr. Bai Shu still interrupted Gu Shen's question and ended the topic of "travelers".

The implication could not be more obvious.

Under the turbulent undercurrent that the Seven Gods have clearly separated into camps, the two-continent alliance needs to ensure the safety of the "Traveler's Fire". Based on the considerations of "divination" and "artifacts of unknown destiny"——

The top-secret information that the traveler is still alive must be locked at the causal level.

As long as it is not broken on the table, then theoretically speaking... the pattern of the five continents will not fluctuate violently due to this.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

Gu Shen said expressionlessly: "Did you really break your head, or did you not understand what I just said?"

Tsukasa was startled.

next moment.

Gu Shen took out a fragment of a sky sheath from the "Miracle Silver" box he carried with him. Most of the fragments obtained from fighting Han Dang under the frozen lake were given to the old man for secret production. More sheath weapons for emergencies.

Gu Shen still kept some for himself.

"Chi chi chi..."

The fragments of the sky sheath pierced into the skin, and the dark curse air swept into Gu Shen's body instantly.

"Hello."

He looked at the Tsuka ghost and said calmly: "Look into my eyes——"

Zhonggui looked into Gu Shen's eyes.

Gu Shen touched the wound with blazing fingertips.

next moment.

The alley scene changes rapidly.

The world was spinning, and sleepiness came over him. The Tsuka ghost, who was leaning against the wall, slid softly to the base of the wall.

And when he opened his eyes again, he came to the familiar black snow-capped mountains. He was still the lonely soul trapped in the body... and the heavy snow in front of him spread out, revealing a young and majestic black-robed figure.

Gu Shen was no different from before. He put his hands on his knees and sat cross-legged on the top of the snow mountain.

"Crash..."

The wind and snow rolled back, and the traveler raised his head and stared at Gu Shen.

"Detoxification."

Gu Shen stretched out his hand. This time he didn't say any unnecessary words. He just looked calmly at the "traveler" on the stone wall. He looked directly into those clear, confused and confused eyes.

But this time——

The traveler did not detoxify Gu Shen immediately.

He laughed with a dry voice: "Are you so anxious for such a little curse?"

The traveler's spirit has obviously improved a lot.

these days.

Due to the tundra massacre, Gu Shen took the initiative to absorb a large amount of the Curse of the Sky Sheath. As he came to the Black Snow Mountain again and again, the travelers who were trapped and locked on the stone wall began to say nothing at first, and then gradually Open your mouth... Now you can take the initiative to talk to Gu Shen.

The active and passive relationship between the two began to slowly reverse.

Now, it is Gu Shen who is "tight-lipped".

It's not that Gu Shen doesn't want to talk anymore.

But he has realized that the soul in this body is the ghost of the tomb in the real world...

The "traveler" who was chained to the black snow mountain by the rain of spears and arrows is gradually recovering his strength by relying on the curse of the sky sheath he brought. This situation is very similar to the scene in the "Ruler of Truth".

I'm just afraid that the more times I come, the more power I will give it.

"There's something else going on outside."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Detoxify the poison first, and I'll come back to you after I'm done."

The traveler smiled silently.

He had actually guessed the young man's intention... There were fewer and fewer curses recently.

But travelers never say no.

Because he was in no position to refuse.

To him...the curse brought by Gu Shen, no matter how small, cannot be missed.

Heavy snow blew across the Black Snow Mountain, and the traveler removed the "curse of the sky sheath". The dream was shattered, and the scene returned to the deep alley. Gu Shen opened his eyes and stepped forward to kick the sleeping Tomb Ghost awake.

"..."

The ghost with a pale expression and dry lips looked up at Gu Shen.

The two of them looked at each other, from the real world to the Black Snow Mountain and back to the real world. It seemed that only a few seconds had passed, but it also seemed that several years had passed... after a long dead silence.

"Did you see it?"

Gu Shen spoke calmly.

"I saw it."

Tsuka Oni huddled in the corner and answered with a trembling voice.

Then he asked in a low voice, aggrievedly: "So...who am I?"

"..."

Gu Shen looked at this pitiful guy.

He felt sad and lucky at the same time.

If this man, instead of cowering in the corner, stood up when the sky sheath collapsed.

What if this man, instead of lowering his head, stretched out his palm when the giant drew his sword?

I'm afraid the world will become a lot worse now...

"You are you, you are nobody."

Gu Shen said word by word: "You are my friend Gu Shen, you are the ancient literature expert hired by Gu Nanfeng with a large salary, you are the formation master who played an indispensable role in building the Qing Tomb, and you are also the research genius who was most responsible for detonating the children... ...You have been walking in this world for so many years, don’t you know who you are? You know this answer better than anyone else.”

Tsukasa buried his head lower in the ground and murmured.

"But, lately I've been dreaming..."

"I dreamed about the big guy hitting his head on the ground..."

"Okay, why don't you answer my question -"

Gu Shen interrupted Zhonggui's speech. He squatted down and asked calmly: "Tell me, who am I?"

Zhonggui was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Gu Shen.

This scene seems familiar.

In the Black Snow Mountain, they had "met" like this countless times, but now they were in the real world.

Gu Shen... is also a member of the Black Snow Mountain Dreamland.

"you……"

Tsukauki opened his mouth.

"Twenty years ago, two crazy guys made two life-threatening contracts..."

Gu Shen said: "Probably God couldn't bear to reject the pursuit and ideals of madmen, so the two people who didn't want their lives got their wish. Of the two of them, one had a high probability of 'die' on the snowy mountain, and the other had a high probability of 'die' In the eternal darkness, they just want to 'live' again, and the price is to find a brand new body."

This story is very short.

But for Tsukauki, it was enough.

"This is a story I made up without any insinuations or metaphors. Don't take it personally. I just hope you can understand the core of it: some people want to 'live', and some people want to 'die'."

Gu Shen said calmly: "So it doesn't matter who you are. Whether you want to 'live' or not is very important..."

The two looked at each other like they had done countless times in the black snowy mountains.

The ghost of Tsukasa was stunned.

Countless thoughts swirled and passed through my mind.

Those fragmented and complicated memories, the memories that were barely recalled under the giant's call... were now overwhelmed by the sunshine in the courtyard, the falling snow in Nagano, and other simple memories.

This is not a complicated question.

It's good to make a choice.

so……

The moonlight passed over the high wall of the alley and fell on the man huddled in the corner.

Tsukasa's voice was hoarse: "I want to live."

"Then... remember it, remember it forever."

Gu Shen said coldly: "Unlucky guy, your name is Xing Yun. If you want to live, just do as I say!"

He stood up, turned and left.

"……Hello!"

Zhonggui took a deep breath, looked at Gu Shen's back, and asked loudly: "You haven't told me yet! What should I do now?!"

"You kid... you deserve to be squeezed."

Gu Shen stood still and said angrily: "Unlock that blueprint for me, the sooner the better!"
