Bulwark of Light

Chapter 272 Hairline
"Where there is death, there is new life."

"It's like going to sleep. We close our eyes and open them... We will forget some things. We start with brand new memories. 100 years after 100 years, reborn again and again." Gu Shen calmly said: "Here we need to declare For a moment, I didn't say these words...it was said by the priests in Nanzhou, I have always been firm..."

He was going to say atheism.

But these three words were swallowed back by Gu Shen.

"Okay... Maybe what these priests said has a little truth..." He sighed softly.

After the funeral.

The moderate rain is getting smaller and smaller.

The small barren mountain became less and less populated, Zhao Qi was still kneeling in front of the wooden monument, and the others left one after another.

Someone behind Gu Shen patted him lightly.

"...Teacher." He turned his head and saw the old man with a cane. Zhou Jiren no longer dressed in a white suit this time, but also changed into a solemn black suit. Two days will not come to the funeral, because he doesn't like sad partings, and he doesn't like crowds.

Zhou Jiren is still here today.

"Don't get me wrong... I didn't come here to pay tribute to the old guy Zhao Xilai..."

Zhou Jiren glanced at the wooden tablet erratically, and subconsciously defended himself.

Gu Shen noticed that he was holding an unlit cigar between two fingers, and it was vaguely damp. He hadn't seen the teacher at the funeral before... But looking at it now, this attire and the damp cigar are enough to It shows that he is a duplicity person.

"Alright alright……"

Zhou Jiren looked into his disciple's eyes, sighed, and said softly, "Maybe it's because he's too old to see such a scene of life and death... I watched from a distance earlier, and this funeral was not as heavy as I imagined. "

He enthusiastically squeezed under Gu Shen's umbrella, and said in a low voice, "Don't close the umbrella...look in that direction."

Holding the cigar between two fingers, he lightly tapped it.

Gu Shen looked in the direction of the teacher's gaze, and saw a tall and straight figure who hadn't left yet... It was a vicissitudes of life man with knife marks on half of his cheek, even if he didn't speak a word and just looked at his face, he could Gives a great sense of oppression.

Gu Shen had noticed this guy earlier in the morning. Apart from the external condition of being tall enough, there was a very important reason.

temperament.

This man has a "cold as iron" temperament, and he is out of tune with the people around him. From the moment he came to the top of the barren mountain, he has never interacted with other people for a second, not even looking at each other.

As if the whole world was superfluous.

But such a person... his eyes were fixed on Zhao Qi who couldn't afford to kneel.

"This is?"

"Beizhou Qianjin City, Grand Duke Zhuxue has three powerful confidantes under him, who are called 'Three Dogs' by outsiders."

"...Three Dogs?" This was the first time Gu Shen heard this name.

"He is absolutely devoted to his master, but at the same time he is crazy and desperate... Such a person is nothing but a dog." Zhou Jiren said indifferently: "This is the famous wild dog, Duan Feng."

"People from Beizhou come here..." Gu Shen looked at Zhao Qi, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Are you here to pick him up and go to the fortress?"

Although the will is clearly published.

But there are still many people who can't believe it... Mr. Zhao is willing to send his son to Beizhou to suffer?It's okay to put on a show.

Gu Shen believes that Zhao Xilai can do it.

But he didn't expect that the people from Beizhou were so fast.

"Luoyin City Fortress, the third fortress on the west side of the main wing of Beizhou Fortress, is considered a large-scale fortress... This is where Zhao Qi will be sent next." Zhou Jiren said blankly. : "The geographical location of this fortress is very important, it is the only way to the 'Arch Point', if one day the 'Arch Point Front' headed by Gubao Fortress falls, it needs to be on top of the Fortress of the Right Wing."

Gu Shen, who was in the process of spiritual connection, immediately saw the overall outline of Beizhou Fortress.

Chu Ling thoughtfully attached a few key points.

The entire Beizhou Fortress presents a huge arc running through the east and west, like a pair of wings flying, and the apex in the middle is extremely protruding, like a bird's head... This is the apex.

The most "dangerous" place among the apexes is "Gubao". It is said that there is heavy snow all year round and the climate is extremely harsh. Even though the soldiers stationed in Gubao have extremely strong willpower, there are still many people who are injured by the natural climate every year. wounded.

"Really?"

Gu Shen was a little surprised. There are many fortresses in Beizhou... The overall environment and atmosphere are very serious. Sending Zhao Qi to the fortress is already a severe punishment, but sending it to Luoyin City Fortress is not a place for normal soldiers to stay. .

"It is said that this is Zhao Xilai's phone call with the Lin family himself, maybe it was his request."

Zhou Jiren smiled sarcastically, and said: "Maybe it's because of the bill... That Grand Duke Zhuxue decided to help his old friend educate his useless son, but he sent such a confidant to come here. Are you afraid that Zhao Qi will run away?"

Gu Shen watched silently as the wild dog came up to the wooden tablet and said something to Zhao Qi.

The filial son who couldn't afford to be knocked up raised his head, his face was full of sadness, and he said the same thing... But in the end, it was only a little delay. Take it with you.

The wild dog didn't leave directly.

Instead, he walked towards Gu Shen's direction.

This is somewhat unexpected.

Did you come to find yourself?

The closer the distance... the more oppressive this man can feel.

Gu Shen subconsciously raised the umbrella so that he could see the man's face clearly. The left cheek was covered with scars, which looked extremely hideous.

"..." Wild Dog and Gu Shen exchanged glances.

But it's just a glance.

He ignored the teenager.

From his body, murderous aura emanated out on its own, forming a dense and substantive oppressive aura like needles, but when he got close to Gu Shensan, this oppressive aura was gently dissolved by an invisible force.

The person the wild dogs are really looking for...is actually Zhou Jiren.

This seemingly defiant, savage and domineering man spoke.

It's just that his voice was not as violent as imagined, but very peaceful, even gentle.

"Grand Duke Zhuxue asked me to bring you something..."

Facing the Grand Adjudicator of Dongzhou, even the wild dogs used honorifics.

Zhou Jiren narrowed his eyes, and a vague premonition emerged in his heart.

Dingo stretched out his palm, and around his pinky knuckles, a slender strand of hair was entangled.

"?!"

Gu Shen recognized this strand of hair... This is Senior Sister Luo's natal seal!

Since Da Teng parted ways, Senior Sister Luo and Senior Brother Zhong went out together to carry out missions...there has been no news.

This is... went to Beizhou?
"This is the hair sent to the fortress by Master [Tian Tong] not long ago. There is a strand of spiritual power in it, and it will shatter after reading it."

The wild dog said softly: "I am ordered by Grand Duke Zhuxue to deliver this strand of hair to you... Please accept it."
