Barrier of Light

After the trivial matters in Yinghai District are completed and the news of the purge of Jiankou Islands is released, Guangming City will no longer send people.

After this incident was over, Song Ci returned directly to Dadu. He had not been back to Dadu for several years, just in time to see his wife and Nan Jin.

Gu Shen is also planning to go back to Nagano, and the follow-up handling of the Dongze family will be left to Shen Li.

I walked in a hurry before.

Six years apart.

He withered and revived under the sea of ​​ice.

As Little Iron Man said, many people are running around and busy for him... Six years have passed, and many people in Wuzhou have forgotten themselves.

But some people will never forget it in their lifetime.

Gu Shen wanted to see these old friends.

He went to the Li family first. Among all the people in Nagano, the one Gu Shen missed the most and couldn't let go of was actually Li Qingsui.

When he left that year, the little girl was already able to take charge of her own business. Although she was still immature, she had successfully assumed the position of the head of the Li family.

Gu Shen used the [Ghost Veil] to change his appearance and hide among the crowds in the Snow Forbidden City. He put on his cloak and walked slowly along the Ninghe River. Finally, he crossed the streets and alleys and came to the door of the Li clan's ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall that was once destroyed by fire has now been rebuilt.

There are many little girls wearing Ruqu skirts coming in and out of the clan hall. Among the five families, the Li family is the most low-key, and the etiquette is the most complicated. Those direct clan members who are favored by the family have to spend half a day every week to come to the clan hall. Take a “course”.

Gu Shen used his spiritual power to transmit the scene of "Li's Ancestral Hall" back to the "Pure Land".

He passed it on to Li Qingci.

After her death, the Celadon Girl has been in the Pure Land for six years.

Although the Pure Land was more lively than the Shenci Mountain, Gu Shen had promised her back then to let her see the light outside the Shenci Mountain.

"Sacrifice courses, Nagano etiquette...Gu Shen, have you returned to the Snow Forbidden City?"

When Li Qingci saw this scene, she was startled at first.

Then she said with a nostalgic tone: "Ms. Li has always attached great importance to etiquette. Back then, Qingsui hated this class the most. Before the head of the family became seriously ill, she always liked to skip classes and run to the Shenci Mountain."

"I'll take you to see Qingsui."

Gu Shen did not go through the main entrance of Li's ancestral hall. He made no sound and climbed over the wall to enter.

In the ancestral hall, all kinds of wastes are restored.

The ancient house and clan house that collapsed at that time have been rebuilt, and the presbytery has also been disrupted and rebuilt. I wonder if it is because of the renovation, but the clan mansion looks particularly clean. It just happened that the sacrificial course was over, and there were many children under the shade of the trees. Playful, gurgling water, accompanied by laughter.

Gu Shen's eyes fell on the farthest distance, where there was a powerful [Spiritual Barrier].

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Li's [shrine]... Qingsui is probably in it."

Gu Shen stood under the shade of a tree and said softly: "It's not convenient for me to go in right now, so I can only take a look here."

Li Qingci smiled and said, "It's enough to see it here."

…

…

"As for the trade details of the import and export of blue silver in the tundra area, I will personally confirm with Lin tomorrow... Apart from this, do you have any questions about the current stage of 'convergence'?"

There is a long red sandalwood table, with a woman at the head.

She had long hair reaching her waist, an indifferent expression, and her eyes swept across the seats.

Everyone in the Li Presbyterian Church whispered in agreement.

"Seconded."

"There are no other issues."

Li Qingsui took a sip and said, "Okay, that's the end of this meeting."

She tapped the table lightly, and the barrier of the [shrine] dissipated, and the oppressive barrier dispersed. The elders also left the table... Li Qingsui was not in a hurry to go out. She sat alone in this ancient house and quietly recovered. Pan, for some reason, she feels very uneasy these days.

"The head of the Qingsui family."

A soft voice sounded.

Li Qingsui turned around and stood up quickly: "Uncle Gao... I have told you so many times that you don't need to call me the head of the family."

"You are indeed the head of the family now, so it is appropriate to shout."

Gao Tian smiled and said: "Besides... the Li family has always paid attention to etiquette. This is the virtue that your father and all the ancestors have always guarded. Being able to shout like this means that my mission has been successfully completed."

"What are you talking about..."

Li Qingsui let out a long sigh and said, "Uncle Gao, I have troubled you to worry about the merger in the past few years."

The merging of two continents is by no means an easy task.

Even though the Queen and Mr. Bai Shu both nodded, the following is the personnel changes, trade exchanges, contract signings, and technology sharing between the two continents...

These trivial matters are extremely labor-intensive.

When Gu Shen served as the "hub", he appointed two right-hand men, one was Li Qingsui and the other was Mu Qingyang. The two matched up in civil and military affairs, and Mu Qingyang was mainly responsible for connecting with the top leaders of the Beizhou Legion... Li Qingsui is cooperating with the Lin family. She and Grand Duke Zhuxue have put a lot of effort into the merger in the past few years.

The Li family gained a high status in the "Confluence". Li Qingsui not only became the head of the family, but also controlled extremely huge resources.

A huge cross-continental project like the Convergence will drive countless industries and require countless fresh blood.

Li Qingsui first drastically "reformed" the Old Testament within the clan. She broke the rule that only direct clan members could enter Nagano. Now many members of the Presbyterian Church are collateral clan members from the Jiangbei area.

Of course, it's not that easy to get into the Li family's inner circle.

Both ability and character need to be tested... In the past few years, Uncle Gao has also dealt with many people who were seeking fame and reputation with "ulterior motives".

"They are all family members."

Gao Tian smiled and shook his head.

Although she said this, Li Qingsui looked at Uncle Gao with apologetic eyes... She still remembered how cool and unrestrained Uncle Gao was when she was young. As one of the most mentally powerful people in Nagano, he was not subject to any restrictions. The five families are bound to go wherever they want.

these years.

Uncle Gao's hair has quietly turned gray.

Although it was very light, there were also faint wrinkles on his forehead.

"Okay, miss... there will be a cocktail party tonight in the Snow Forbidden City. It's time for you to set off. Mu Qingyang and several senior fortress officials from Beizhou will be here."

Gao Tian opened the door for Li Qingsui.

…

…

Under the shade of the tree, Gu Shen saw these two old friends from a distance... After the [shrine] barrier dissipated, he released his spiritual power, but he did not dare to get too close.

So he only vaguely heard some of the conversations in the [shrine] barrier.

There will be a cocktail party in the Snow Forbidden City tonight... Li Qingsui will go, so will Mu Qingyang, and presumably those high-level officials involved in the "Convergence" project will also go. If you want to meet these old friends, maybe this cocktail party is also a good opportunity.

He knew very well Uncle Gao's strength.

All these years have passed.

Uncle Gao looked a little more vicissitudes of life, but his posture was still upright and his energy was still strong. Just by leaning forward to eavesdrop, Blazing Fire sent out a "danger" signal!

In terms of strength alone, Gao Tian, ​​who single-handedly suppressed the Li family, is definitely not comparable to Xuangui Yunhu and his ilk.

And compared with six years ago, Gao Tian is even more enigmatic.

He must have improved again.

Gu Shen smiled with emotion.

For someone with a title of this level, his intuition is extremely sharp...if he gets closer to his "blazing fire", he might be caught.

In the pure land, Li Qingci stared intently at the mental picture from Gu Shen.

She looked at the young woman who walked out of the Zongtang door, and her eyes became moist without realizing it.

When the soul comes to the Pure Land, it seems to be immortal and does not feel pain.

But her spirit is still there, and the emotions, joys, anger, sorrows and joys in the world will be magnified.

Li Qingci's voice was a little trembling, but she was still smiling happily: "My Qingsui...has grown up."

Six years have passed.

Li Qingsui is no longer the little girl she once was.

She has become tall and graceful, and her stubbornness and immaturity have been washed away by the years. Now her youthfulness can no longer be seen. Although she is not the most beautiful girl in the world, she is bright and generous, and has a unique temperament.

"I wonder if Qingsui... still has any resentment towards me now?"

When Gu Shen saw this scene, his mood suddenly became complicated.

He chose to conceal the truth about Celadon's death.

This deception lasted for many, many years.

Until Gu Shen went south to sea, Li Qingsui didn't know the truth. She always had resentment in her heart, complaining that Gu Shen didn't save her sister.

The prayer technique took a full ten years.

What he got in the end... was an untimely death.

In her heart, Gu Shen was a liar. She wished that Gu Shen had never been to Li's and never met her sister, so that maybe her sister could live a few more years and not leave the world so early.

All these years have passed.

I wonder what else Li Qingsui thinks about this past event?

Gu Shen didn't know if the resentment in her heart would be filled if she died in Sangzhou Cave?

Sigh.

Gu Shen disappeared under the shade of the trees.

"……Um?"

In the distant Zongtang, after Li Qingsui opened the door, he felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at him.

Moreover, he is still a familiar person.

This feeling of "being watched" is not annoying.

She subconsciously cast her gaze towards the shade of the tree where Gu Shen had been standing, but saw nothing... There was nothing there, not a single figure.

The wind blows.

A few fallen leaves swayed down, lonely and a little desolate.

"Miss?"

Gao Tian prepared a thin coat for Li Qingsui and was about to put it on when he noticed the latter's abnormality.

He also cast his gaze towards the shade of the tree.

The result is the same.

Nothing at all.

"Miss...what's wrong?"

Gao Tianwen said: "It's cold outside. The typhoon from the East China Sea will blow to Nagano in the next few days. Put on your coat to avoid catching a cold."

"……Um."

Li Qingsui nodded, put on her coat, and suddenly said: "Uncle Gao."

Gao Tian paused.

He turned back and looked at the lady in confusion.

"nothing……"

Li Qingsui gathered her coat and said in a hoarse voice, "I just miss my sister a little."

Gao Tian was stunned for a second, and then smiled.

He asked softly: "Are you free to visit the Qing Tomb tomorrow?"

Li Qingsui hummed in a low voice, but after this, she still stood at the door, in a daze, without moving.

The lady didn't leave.

Gao Tian didn't leave either.

The breeze blew, and the two of them stood in front of the ancestral hall for a long time.

After a long time, Li Qingsui calmed down.

Gao Tian just spoke.

He asked patiently: "Miss, is there anything else you can do?"

"...There is another person."

Li Qingsui said sadly: "I miss him too. It would be great if he didn't die."

(PS: Everyone, I’m really sorry. The biological clock is not very good these days, and the plot is not easy to write. It takes a lot of time to finalize the details, so there is no way to fix the update time... But there are three updates every day, and this will not change. .)
