Light Barrier

Chapter 359

"Want a monument?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He never imagined that... this request would be so simple.

Even, this is not a requirement at all.

There are many steles in the outer mausoleum of the Qing Tomb... After Gu Changzhi rested on the sacred throne, the power emitted by the fire condensed into this super large wonderland, which was different from the disaster situation in the Piyue City Fortress. Qing Tomb is a completely controllable "miraculous place". The extraordinary essence of the deceased buried here will not dissipate, but will spontaneously condense and float outside the sky.

Moreover, it is said that during the construction of the tomb, the fire and the "formation" produced an incredible and wonderful reaction.

As long as they are buried here, even some extraordinary people who have passed away for many days, and the extraordinary essence in their bodies has been separated, can be summoned... Of course, this statement has not been truly confirmed, but the extraordinary energy condensed in Qingzhong now The amount of source material has far exceeded the estimate before the construction. This is no longer the amount that can be brought by ordinary burials of the dead.

"Friend...it seems that there is no need to meet the tomb keeper immediately."

Gu Shen was a little helpless.

If you just want a monument, you can find it from five major families, or even three major families!

Although the fog was very thick, he could vaguely see the demeanor and demeanor of this person under the mountain. Gu Shen felt that the person should be from a noble family, even if he was not one of the five great families, he was similar.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if it is just an ordinary casual cultivator...as long as he finds three places and expresses his desire to seek a monument, he can get the "burial rights" of Qingzuka. Nagano has been containing the extraordinary source of disorder in an attempt to use this All areas are protected.

Therefore, when we are in urgent need of essence, as long as they do not violate extraordinary laws, most of them can be buried in the "Qing Tomb". However, the rankings in the cemetery, including good and bad, are arranged according to their contribution. Ordinary extraordinary people can get The ranking of the cemetery may not be that good.

The man down the mountain spoke in a deep voice.

"Not only do I ask for a monument, I also ask for a name."

Could you please give me a name?

Gu Shen was even more confused.

Before he could say anything, the voice of the tomb keeper appeared in his ears, and at the same time, the outline of a name appeared in his mind.

"Tell him...the name on the monument is Yu Shu."

The tombkeeper said softly: "He will owe you a favor."

I see.

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated. Master Qianye deliberately asked her to come to this hill just to meet this mysterious young man. However, she refused to respond and refused to meet him, just to make him owe her a favor.

Who is this?

Is it worthy to be treated like this by the tomb keeper... In other words, with my current status, do I need anyone's favor?

but.

Gu Shen had a very good impression of the people under the mountain.

Even if Master Qianye doesn't speak, he will take the initiative to help.

"That person's name is Yu Shu, so Yu, beam of light."

Gu Shen spoke again, and at the same time he raised his hand and slowly traced strokes in the fog with his fingertips... It was so foggy that he didn't know if the other party could see clearly?

After a few seconds.

The people at the foot of the mountain no longer sat cross-legged, but stood up.

"Thanks for the help."

He bowed slightly and performed a very ancient etiquette... Gu Shen had seen this etiquette from Li Qingci.

Sure enough, is he from the Five Families?

Gu Shen also returned the gift.

Just as the young man at the foot of the mountain was about to leave, the voice of the tomb guard came to Gu Shen's ears again. His pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly spoke and shouted loudly.

"etc--"

The young man was startled slightly and turned around.

Gu Shen said seriously every word: "The person who wants to kill you should have 'Zheng' in his name. If you don't fight, fight...be careful."

Although it was very foggy.

But Gu Shen had a vague feeling.

Hearing this sentence... the people under the mountain seemed to smile.

Two people, one is standing on the mountain and the other is standing at the bottom of the mountain.

When parting, the two nodded to each other.

…

…

Tonight.

Heavy rain, snow, and thunder in Nagano.

The weather hasn't been this bad for a long time.

The thunder dragon is majestic, its blazing light appears, and it roars loudly across the sky of thousands of meters away.

In the Bai clan's ancestral hall, the elders were discussing the matter of ancestor worship. Because the weather has been so bad recently, many rituals need to be changed and may be performed indoors... While everyone was discussing, the wooden door of the ancestral temple was pushed open.

"White sleeves?"

The second elder frowned when he saw the boy's wet white clothes and asked, "Where did you go yesterday... There is no news about you in the entire Snow Forbidden City..."

Bai Xiu did not answer this question.

He just looked around, looking at the elders...silently searching for names in his mind.

It's a pity that I don't pay attention to the news in the clan on weekdays, nor do I care about the composition of the Elders Council. Except for the second elder Bai Zesheng, I can hardly name anyone here.

However, there is a meeting here today.

There are pieces of "wooden plaques" standing on the long table, with the names of each member engraved on them... The older the clan, the more it pays attention to this illusory sense of ritual. During the formal clan meeting, every person who sat down looked at it. Seeing your name on the wooden plaque is actually a great encouragement.

They have worked for decades to sit here.

And I have to say, everything has two sides -

These illusory rituals are not just a "cumbersome", but sometimes they also provide convenience.

For example, this time.

Baixiu said softly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Huaiyin, Jiangbei."

When saying this, Baixiu did not hesitate and said it directly in front of the elders.

Huaiyin is a small town in the north of the Yangtze River. Many people have not even heard of this place... but this small town has a branch of the Bai family.

Everyone's expressions were strange and a little confused.

Why did Baixiu mention Jiangbei and why did he go to Huaiyin?

Only one person looked different.

The second elder, Bai Zesheng, understood many things after hearing these words.

He looked complicated and said slowly: "You... found out Qu Long's information."

It's not a question or a rhetorical question, it's a statement.

Baixiu's answer was also very simple.

"Um."

As the "top genius" cultivated by the Bai family, he has extremely high authority. The guardians of the Bai family are indeed shadow-like existences, with no names and no files, but they have the same abilities as before they became "shadows" past.

I want to investigate these past events.

Just need to know...the name that was erased.

The second elder didn't know how Baixiu did it, and didn't want to know.

He just felt helpless because this young man was unexpectedly persistent in certain things, almost paranoid.

In fact, for some things, hiding in the darkness is the best ending.

If you want to find out everything, the truth will seem funny... because the person who died for the Bai family was not named Bai at all.

Just like Gao Tian, ??who went through life and death for the Li family, his surname is not Li either.

Everyone has their own reasons for giving everything.

This reason does not have to be a surname, it must be a given name, or it must be bloodline.

It's just that... after finding out the truth, the protector ?Qu Long? died and could not leave his name in the ancestral hall. This matter has the most real answer.

Because Qu Long is basically a foreigner.

Of course, a person with a foreign surname...is not qualified to leave a name in the ancestral temple.

"After you left that day, I went to check as soon as possible. Regarding Qu Long's consolation money and the compensation he deserved... they were all sent to Huaiyin." The second elder said softly, "The follow-up of this matter , you don’t have to worry, I will take care of it. If you are worried, you can track the progress of the matter at any time through ?Wind Eye?."

Hearing this, Bai Xiu had no big reaction.

He nodded silently.

Then he found a seat and sat down slowly.

A certain elder who was attending the meeting was not allowed to move to the side... His sitting posture was a bit reserved, not only because his white sleeves were soaked by the rain, and they were still dripping when he stepped into the inner room of the ancestral hall.

And because, after Bai Xiu sat down, he stretched out a hand very unceremoniously, twisted the wooden identity card in front of him that symbolized honor and status, and looked at it carefully.

There was silence in the ancestral hall.

Water droplets gathered together, falling from the cuffs of Baixiu to the wooden floor.

"Tick tock."

"Tick...tick."

Bai Xiu's eyes were very serious. He looked at the name on the wooden sign repeatedly, but it was only three words, but he read it dozens or hundreds of times.

Everyone in the ancestral hall looked at the wooden sign with him.

After a long time.

Bai Xiu suddenly smiled.

He looked at the name on the wooden sign as if there was a joke written on it.

Thinking back to what the guy standing on the mountain said to himself in the heavy fog in Qingzhong... This wooden sign is really a joke.

?"The person who wants to kill you should have the word "Zheng" in his name. If you don't fight, fight..."?

He whispered the elder's name word by word.

"Bai, no, fight."

Bai Buzheng couldn't hold back his anger.

He took back the wooden plaque, put it back in front of him, and scolded him coldly: "Bai Xiu... Although you are a junior who has been cultivated by the Bai family, but you broke into the ancestral hall and disrupted the meeting. Do you still have any rules in your eyes? The wooden plaque Position is a battle between status and glory... After all, I am also a member of the Bai clan's elders' council, so by acting like this, you are committing the following crime and being arrogant!"

Baixiu nodded, expressing understanding.

"Feel sorry……"

He said: "I shouldn't laugh, but... you really don't look like the person I'm looking for."

Bai Buzheng was startled.

Many people felt that they were offended... The interruption of this meeting and Bai Xiu's inexplicable farce made many elders look sullen and ready to explode at any time.

But the second elder raised his hand.

The elders restrained their anger and remained quiet.

Bai Zesheng signaled Bai Xiu with his eyes to continue speaking.

"The killer was very patient. He hid under the ice of the tundra lake. In order to wait for me to pass by... he waited for at least ten days. During these ten days, he held his breath and concentrated his concentration without leaking even a trace of his mental power. , just to wait until the moment I walk across the ice.”

Baixiu lowered his eyes.

He recalled the day of the assassination.

"Not only did he figure out my route, but he also knew my abilities... So for this assassination, I chose a close-range assassination, not a long-distance sniper. This time I went north and was able to mobilize ?Wind Eyes? in the ancestral hall. How many people have permission? How many people can read my files?"

This is an investigation!

No... To be precise, Bai Xiu's attitude is to hunt down the murderer!

Every word and sentence he spoke was like a nail.

Directly nailing Bai Buzheng as the murderer!

Bai Buzheng looked angry. He slammed the table angrily, stood up, and looked down at this aggressive junior. Anger seemed to pour out of his chest: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you suspect that I am an assassin?"

Baixiu just looked at the other party calmly.

Compared to the raging anger.

His anger is calmer.

The image of the assassination that day came to mind——

One step.

The ice breaks.

Ice shards all over the sky splashed out with the light of the sword, and within a tenth of a second, they condensed into a well-formed and complete field of murderous intent... If the sacrificer hadn't appeared, what would have been his fate? I'm afraid it will be very bleak.

Yu Shu blocked the fatal injury for himself.

Then he wounded the assassin!

"The Presbyterian Council is investigating this case strictly!"

"As we all know, Qu Long injured the assassin..." Bai Buzheng lifted up his cuffs, tore open the clothes on his chest, and said angrily: "Everyone, you can see, there are no wounds on my body! "

Bai Xiu only glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze.

It is indeed a pampered body.

Not even a single wound.

He shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say you were an assassin."

"Being able to wait ten days in the tundra just to deliver the killing blow."

"The person I'm looking for is cunning, cunning, vicious enough, and able to endure severe cold, hunger, and fatigue..."

"How could such an assassin be such a loser like you?"

To say that the previous words are "throwing dirty water".

Then these words are simply insulting!

Bai Buzheng stared angrily and was about to say something.

Baixiu suddenly said: "Where were you on the day I was assassinated."

"On that day, I did leave the Snow Forbidden City and went to Jiangbei, but the day of ancestor worship in the ancestral hall had not yet arrived... What does it mean if I go out?" Bai Buzheng said coldly.

"Be more detailed."

Bai Xiu showed no expression and poured a cup of hot tea.

"I went to the tundra, and the Bai family has an energy transaction... The warehouse is in Yinta in the tundra area!" Bai Buzheng gritted his teeth, "My travel records can be found in ?Wind Eyes?... But this is Biyuan can be traded and needs to be kept secret, so after arriving in the tundra, I used the authority of the Presbyterian Council to turn off the location! These can all be queried!"

After listening.

He found that everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

"Why... are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Buzheng thought back to what he said before... was there something wrong?

Did you say something wrong?

No……

No!

"I'm not lying...I can be hypnotized!"

"no need."

Baixiu said calmly: "I believe you... you didn't lie. Your answer is perfect. You must have thought about it many times, right? It's a pity that I have never told anyone the time of my assassination. How do you know what I said?" 'That day'...what day is it?"

Bai Buzheng stood there blankly.

There was a bang in my head, like a bolt from the blue, and everything went blank.

He subconsciously looked at the second elder for help.

Bai Zesheng's face was expressionless, and the look on his face was indifferent and scary.

"No……"

Bai Buzheng rushed towards the wooden door of the ancestral hall.

A "whoosh" sound!

Baixiu's fingertips picked up a drop of water in the porcelain cup, and he flicked it out. The drop of hot water instantly ejected like a bullet, whizzing out like thunder, making a sizzling sound, and actually flew through the air. Terrible tremolo!

"boom!"

It's like a bullet piercing flesh and blood.

It was like being hit at close range by a sniper rifle!

Bai Buzheng tried to get out of the door, and one of his legs was instantly covered with blood and flesh. He lost his balance, fell forward hard, and finally fell into the mud.

The elders of the Bai clan had complicated expressions.

Being closer to the door, his face was inevitably stained with some blood...it was indisputable blood.

The wooden sign with the name "Bai BuZheng" engraved on it was also splattered with blood.

In the dead silence, thunder rumbled.

"If he really didn't lie... then he left for the tundra, most likely to assist the assassin."

Baixiu lowered his eyebrows, drank the remaining tea in the porcelain cup, and said calmly: "The assassin was injured and cannot run far... Even if he is not in Inta, he certainly cannot escape the tundra area."

The second elder took a deep breath, looked at Bai Xiu, and made a serious promise: "After 'spiritual cleansing' and searching for memories, I will personally go to the tundra."

Baixiu hummed softly.

"I'm going to Huaiyin tomorrow."

He repeated the words he said when he entered the ancestral hall again, but this time he looked at the man struggling in the mud and blood, and his voice was devoid of mercy, "So...let's give him an end tonight."

This sentence makes people shudder.

It turns out that when he came to the Zongtang... he had already thought of the purpose of his trip.

He is here to kill people.

Baixiu stood up silently, and the two elders stood up together, and they passed by the courtyard.

Bai Zesheng glanced at Bai Buzheng, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain.

A thigh, bloody and bloody... The moment the water droplets flew out, the extremely violent thunder power bloomed instantly. The high temperature incinerated the water droplets, and the blooming thunder power formed a bullet.

The bullet shattered Bai BuZheng's entire thigh.

A huge blood hole was opened in the flesh and blood on the back... The meridians and bones were burned to ashes by lightning.

Bai Zesheng sent Bai Xiu to the entrance of the ancestral hall.

"This matter... the sect will investigate seriously." He sighed softly and said, "In this special period, I hope you..."

"No rumors, right?" Baixiu said softly, "I promise you."

After leaving the ancestral hall and turning into the alley, a slim figure who had been waiting for a long time followed him immediately.

The white dew holds an umbrella to protect the white sleeves from the rain.

Baixiu's steps paused slightly, as if he thought for a moment, but finally did not refuse.

The two of them just walked in the long alley.

"I've been next door, and I've heard everything going on in the clan hall."

The Demon Goddess of the Bai family had a complicated expression. She asked softly: "Little Xiu Xiu, how did you find out?"

After signing the agreement, Bai's sacrificers... will no longer have any records and will completely become shadows.

Those files are not really diving into the sea.

In the database of ?Deep Sea?, as long as there is an effect, you can find the cause... But to achieve this level, you need extremely high authority, similar to the Bai family's sacrifice files. If it is the throne that needs to be mobilized [ If you use the computing power of "Deep Sea" to calculate, you can definitely find out the truth.

But... that also takes time.

Bai's investigation was officially launched a day ago.

The prison directly mobilized all authorities to cooperate with the investigation to find relevant clues about the assassination. However, the place was too remote, and the person involved, Bai Xiu, disappeared again without providing any information... So after one day and one night, Zongtang was Little substantive progress has been made.

It only took Baixiu one day to find ?Qu Long?'s real name and also lock in the mastermind of the Tundra Assassination?

She really couldn't figure this out.

"I……"

Bai Xiu recalled the fog shadow on Qingzhong Mountain. He thought for a moment and said slowly: "I found a friend to help."

This time, Bai Lu was even more surprised.

Her phoenix eyes sparkled and she asked in surprise: "...Friend?"

More than ten years ago, they came to the Snow Forbidden City from Jiangbei, and they grew up in the same courtyard. Bai Xiu's every move was actually known to her... When did Bai Xiu make such a friend?

"Although we only met once and spoke a few words."

Baixiu said slowly: "But you are willing to help me... In your words, this should be regarded as a friend."

Bai Lu was even more confused.

Just meet once?

Only said a few words?

She sighed softly in her heart, thinking it was a joke, and muttered in a low voice: "That's all...if you don't want to say it, forget it..."

"I'm waiting for you here because there is something very important."

Bai Lu suddenly stood up, looked at Bai Xiu, and said seriously: "In a few days... the registration for the 'Newcomer Battle' will be closed. If you don't participate in the battle this year, you will only have one next year. If you can't get it, Dream of Fire, those people from the Presbyterian Church will definitely cause trouble for you!"

Bai Xiu looked calm and hummed softly.

"Very good!" Bai Lu smiled: "Shall we sign up now? There's still enough time!"

Baixiu shook his head.

Bai Lu was stunned.

She was a little anxious, "With your strength... you were able to win the rookie championship two years ago. Why haven't you participated? Do you not care about the Fire Dream?"

"how could be……"

Baixiu shook his head again, "If there is a fire in the future, of course I want to become a 'god' like Mr. Gu Changzhi. However, I am not strong enough this year."

Baixiu said that he was not strong enough. Many people would think this sentence was a joke.

But Bai Lu knew... he was serious.

This is a guy who is extremely strict with himself.

In addition to having great talent, he also works extremely hard.

What he cares about has never been about winning the championship.

It is a dream of fire, and there is only one chance to understand it.

Precisely because he has respect for the position of "God's Throne" in his heart, Baixiu must ensure that he is in the most powerful and peak state when he comprehends the Dream of Fire!

"No...the situation is different this time."

Bai Lu quickly explained: "You have stayed in the tundra for too long. You don't know what happened in Nagano..."

Bai Xiu sighed, crossed his arms, and looked at the other party helplessly.

He waited quietly for the next chapter.

The Bai family witch gritted her teeth and said: "Snow Forbidden City... a very powerful genius has arrived!"

"He is really awesome!"
