Bulwark of Light

Chapter 359 People on the Mountain, People Down the Mountain (Da Zhang, ask for a monthly ticket!)
"Ask for a monument?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He never expected... This request was 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's divine seat was buried, the power of the fire condensed into this super-large wonderland, which is different from the calamity of the Phiyue City Fortress.Kiyotoka is a completely controllable "miracle place". For the dead buried here, the extraordinary source quality will not dissipate, but spontaneously condense, floating outside the sky.

Moreover, it is said that when the Kiyozuka was built, the fire and the "array" had an incredible and wonderful reaction.

As long as they are buried here, even some extraordinary people who have passed away for many days can be summoned here... Of course, this statement has not been really confirmed. The source quality has far exceeded the estimate before the construction. This is no longer the amount that ordinary buried dead can bring.

"My friend... It seems that there is no need to give a serious opinion to the guardian of the tomb."

Gu Shen was a little helpless.

If you just want a stele, then you can find the five masters, or three, and you can do it!

Although the fog was thick, but he could vaguely see the demeanor and temperament of this person from the bottom of the mountain. Gu Shen felt that the person should be from a noble family, even if he wasn't from the five great families, he was about the same.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if it's just an ordinary casual cultivator... as long as he finds three places and expresses his desire to ask for a stele, he can get the "burial right" of Kiyozuka. The whole area is protected.

Therefore, when there is an urgent shortage of source quality, as long as they do not violate the laws of the extraordinary, most of them can be buried in the "Qing Tomb", but the ranking in the cemetery is good or bad. The ranking of the cemetery may not be so good.

The people at the foot of the mountain spoke in a deep voice.

"Not only for the monument, but also for a name."

Want a... name?
Gu Shen was even more confused.

Before he could say anything, the voice of the mausoleum guard appeared next to his ear, and at the same time, the outline of a name appeared in his mind.

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

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

I see.

Gu Shen's expression was a bit complicated, Master Qianye deliberately asked her to come to this hill just to meet this mysterious young man, but she herself refused to respond and insisted on not seeing him, just to make the other party owe her a favor.

Who is this?

It is worthy of being treated like this by the mausoleum guard... In other words, with my current status, do I still need someone's favor?

but.

Gu Shen has a good impression of the people at the bottom of the mountain.

Even if Master Qianye didn't speak, he would take the initiative to help.

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

Gu Shen spoke again, and at the same time raised his hand, and slowly traced strokes in the mist with his fingertips... In such a thick fog, I don't know if the other party can see clearly?
after a few seconds.

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

"Thank you for your help."

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

Sure enough, is it a member of the five families?

Gu Shen also returned the gift.

When the young man at the bottom of the mountain was about to leave, Gu Shen heard the voice of the mausoleum guard again, his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

"and many more--"

The young man was slightly taken aback and turned around.

Gu Shen said seriously: "The person who wants to kill you has a 'Zheng' in his name, if he doesn't fight...be careful."

Although there is a lot of fog.

But Gu Shen vaguely felt it.

Hearing this sentence... the people at the foot of the mountain seemed to laugh.

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

When parting, the two nodded to each other.

……

……

tonight.

Heavy rain, snow, and thunder in Nagano.

It's been a long time since there has been such bad weather.

The thunder dragon is dominating, its blazing light is looming, and it is thousands of meters away from the sky clouds, shaking and roaring.

In the Bai Clan Hall, the elders are discussing the matter of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. Because the weather has been too bad recently, many ceremonies need to be changed, and may be held indoors... While everyone was discussing, the wooden door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

"White sleeve?"

Seeing the young man's wet white clothes, the second elder frowned and asked, "Where did you go yesterday... There is no news of 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 usually don't pay attention to the news in the clan, and I don't care about the composition of the presbytery. 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" on the long table, engraved with the names of every participant... The older the clan, the more it pays attention to this ethereal sense of ritual. Seeing the wooden plaque with my own name is actually a great encouragement.

They have worked for decades to sit here.

And I have to say that everything has two sides——

These illusory rituals are not only "cumbersome", but sometimes they also provide convenience for people.

For example, this time.

Bai Xiu said softly: "Tomorrow, I'm going to Jiangbei, Huaiyin."

When he said this, Bai Xiu didn't hide anything, and said it directly in front of the elders.

Huaiyin is a small town in the north of the Yangtze River. Many people have never even heard of this place... But this small town has a branch of the Bai family.

Apart from being weird, everyone's expressions became a little bewildered.

Why did Bai Xiu mention Jiangbei, and why did he go to Huaiyin?
Only one person looked different.

Second Elder Bai Zesheng understood many things after hearing these words.

With a complicated expression on his face, he said slowly, "You...found Qu Long's information."

It's not a question or a rhetorical question, it's a declarative sentence.

And Bai Xiu's answer is also very simple.

"Ah."

As the "top genius" cultivated by the Bai family, he possesses extremely high authority. The guardians of the Bai family are indeed shadow-like existences, without names and files, but they have the background before they became "shadows". past.

want to investigate the past.

Just need to know... the erased name.

The Second Elder didn't know how Bai Xiu did it, and he didn't want to know.

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

In fact, some things, hidden in the dark, is the best ending.

If you want to find out everything, the truth will look funny... because the person who died for the Bai family did not have the surname Bai at all.

It's like Gao Tian who was born and died for Li's family, and his surname is also not Li.

Everyone has their own reasons for giving everything.

This reason doesn't have to be surname, first name, or blood.

It's just... After finding out the truth, the protector [Qu Long] died and was unable to leave a name in the ancestral hall. This matter has the most authentic answer.

Because Qu Long is basically a foreigner.

A person with a foreign surname, of course... is not eligible to leave a name in the ancestral hall.

"After you left that day, I went to investigate immediately. About Qu Long's condolence money and the compensation he deserved...all were sent to Huaiyin." The second elder said softly, "The follow-up of this matter , you don’t have to worry about it, I will take care of it. If you are worried, you can always track the progress of the matter through [Wind Eyes].”

Hearing this sentence, Bai Xiu didn't have a big reaction.

He nodded silently.

Then he found a place and sat down slowly.

A certain elder who was attending the meeting was forced to move to the side... His sitting posture was a little stiff, not only because his white sleeves were soaked by rain, and when he stepped into the inner room of the Zongtang, it was still dripping.

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

There was silence in the hall.

Water droplets gathered and fell from the cuffs of the white sleeves to the wooden floor.

"Tick."

"Drip... answer."

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

Everyone in the Zongtang accompanied him to look at the wooden sign.

long after.

Bai Xiu suddenly smiled.

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

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

【"The person who wants to kill you has a 'Zheng' in his name, the indisputable one..."】

He whispered the elder's name word by word.

"Bai, no, fight."

Bai Buzheng couldn't hold his breath anymore.

He snatched back the wooden sign, put it back in front of him, and said coldly: "Bai Xiu... Although you are a junior who was cultivated by the Bai family, you can break into the Zongtang and destroy the meeting. Are there any rules in your eyes? The wooden sign Position is a battle of status and glory... Anyway, I am also a member of the Bai Clan Presbyterian Church, and if you act like this, you are offending your superiors, and you are arrogant!"

Bai Xiu nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Feel sorry……"

He said: "I shouldn't have laughed, it's just...you really don't seem like the person I'm looking for."

Bai Buzheng was startled.

Many people felt that they were offended... The interruption of this meeting and the inexplicable farce of the white sleeves made many elders look sullen and ready to attack at any time.

But the second elder raised his hand.

These elders restrained their anger and remained quiet.

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

"The killer was very patient. He hid under the ice of the tundra lake. He waited for me to pass by...he waited for at least ten days. During these ten days, he held his breath and concentrated his mind. He didn't even leak a single bit of mental power. , in order to wait until the moment when I walk across the ice."

The white sleeves lowered their eyes.

He recalled the day of the assassination.

"Not only has he figured out my route, but he also knows my ability... So for this assassination, I chose a close-range assassination, not a long-distance sniper. I went north this time, and I was able to mobilize [Wind Pupil] in the Zongtang How many people have the authority? How many people can read my file?"

This is an investigation!
No... To be precise, Bai Xiu's attitude is to arrest the murderer!
His every word, every sentence, is like a nail.

Directly nail Bai Buzheng to the position of murderer!

Bai Buzheng looked angry, he slammed the table angrily, stood up, looked down at this aggressive junior, anger seemed to burst from his chest: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you suspect that I am an assassin?"

Bai Xiu just looked at each other calmly.

Compared to that raging anger.

His anger is calmer.

The scene of the assassination that day emerged in my mind——

step by step.

The ice shattered.

The sky full of ice shards splashed out along with the light of the knife, and within one-tenth of a second, it condensed into a formed and complete killing intent field... If it wasn't for the appearance of the life-sacrificer, his fate would have been I'm afraid it will be very bleak.

Yu Shu blocked the fatal wound for himself.

Then wounded the assassin!
"This case is being investigated by the Presbyterian Council!"

"As we all know, Qu Long wounded that assassin..." Bai Buzheng raised his cuffs, then tore off the shirt on his chest, and said angrily, "Everyone, take a look, did I have any wounds on my body! "

Bai Xiu just glanced at it briefly, then looked back.

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."

"I was able to wait for ten days in the tundra, just to hand out the lore."

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

"Such an assassin, how could he be such a rich man like you?"

If you say those words in front of you, you are "splashing sewage".

Then these words are simply an insult!
Bai Buzheng stared angrily, just about to say something.

Bai Xiu suddenly said, "Where were you the day I was assassinated?"

"That day, I did leave the Snow Forbidden City and went to Jiangbei, but the day of worshiping the ancestors in the Zongtang has not yet arrived... What is it if I go out?" Bai Buzheng said coldly.

"Details."

With a blank expression on his face, Bai Xiu poured a cup of hot tea.

"I went to the tundra, and the Bai family has an energy deal...the warehouse is in the Inta in the tundra!" Bai Buzheng gritted his teeth, "My travel records can be found in [Feng Tong]...but this Biyuan can be traded and needs to be kept secret, so after arriving in the tundra, I used the authority of the elders to close the location! These can be queried!"

After listening.

He found that the expressions of everyone looking at him became strange.

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

Bai Buzheng recalled what he said earlier... Is there something wrong?

Did you say something wrong?

Do not……

No!

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

"no need."

Bai Xiu said calmly: "I believe you...you are not lying. Your answer is perfect. You must have thought about it many times, right? It's a pity that I 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, as if I had encountered a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and it went blank.

He subconsciously looked at the second elder for help.

Bai Zesheng had no expression on his face, and the expression on that face was indifferent and scary.

"Do not……"

Bai Buzheng ran wildly towards the wooden door of the Zongtang.

"Whoosh"!
The fingertips of the white sleeve picked up a drop of water in the porcelain cup, and he popped it out with his fingers. The drop of hot water shot out like a bullet in an instant, whizzing out like a thunderbolt, buzzing, and pierced through the air. Horrible tremolo!

"boom!"

It's like a bullet piercing through flesh and blood.

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

Bai Buzheng, who was trying to get out of the door, suddenly had a leg flying with blood and flesh. He lost his balance, fell forward hard, and finally fell into the mud.

The elders of the Bai Clan Hall had complex expressions.

Those who were closer to the door inevitably had some blood on their faces... that was indisputable blood.

The wooden plaque engraved with the name "Bai Buzheng" was also spattered with blood.

In the dead silence, thunder rumbled.

"If he really didn't lie...then setting off for the tundra is most likely to meet the assassin."

Bai Xiu lowered his eyebrows, drank the remaining tea in the porcelain cup, and said calmly: "The assassin was injured, so he can't run far... Even if he is not in Inta, he will definitely not be able to escape from 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 go to the tundra myself."

Bai Xiu hummed lightly.

"I'm going to Huaiyin tomorrow."

He repeated the words he said when he stepped into the Zongtang, but this time he looked at the struggling man lying in a pool of mud and blood, and said without mercy in his voice, "So...let's end it tonight."

This sentence makes people shudder.

It turned out that when he came to Zongtang... he had already thought about the purpose of this trip.

He came to kill.

Bai Xiu got up silently, and the second elder got up together, and the two passed the courtyard.

Bai Zesheng glanced at Bai Buzheng who fell to the ground and moaned in pain.

One thigh, bloody and bloody... At the moment when the water droplets flew out, an extremely violent thunder power burst out instantly, and the tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature incinerated the water droplets, and the blooming thunder power formed a bullet.

This bullet shattered Bai Buzheng's entire thigh.

The flesh and blood on the back was burnt to open a huge blood hole... The meridians and bones were all burned to ashes by lightning.

Bai Zesheng sent Bai Xiu to the gate of the Zongtang.

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

"Don't spread it, right?" Bai Xiu said softly, "I promise you."

Leaving the Zongtang, turning into an alley, a slim figure who had been waiting for a long time followed immediately.

Bailu holds an umbrella to cover Baixiu from the rain.

Bai Xiu paused slightly, as if thinking for a moment, but finally did not refuse.

The two just walked in the long alley.

"I've been next door. What happened in the Zongtang...I heard everything."

The Demon of the Bai family had complex expressions, and she asked softly, "Little sleeve, how did you find out?"

The life sacrificers of the Bai family, after signing the agreement... will no longer have any records, and will completely become shadows.

Those files are not really diving into the sea.

In the [Deep Sea] database, as long as there is an effect, the cause can be found... But to achieve this level, extremely high authority is required, similar to the death-sacrificing files of the Bai family, if it is the seat of the gods, it needs to be mobilized [ Deep Sea] computing power, then the truth will definitely be found out.

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 clues related to the assassination case, but the place was too remote, and the person involved disappeared again without providing any information... So after a day and a night, Zong Tang Little substantial progress has been made.

It only took Bai Xiu a day to find out the real name of [Qu Long], and also locked down the mastermind of the Tundra assassination case?
Regarding this point, she really couldn't figure it out.

"I……"

Bai Xiu recalled the shadow of fog on Qingzuka Mountain, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "I asked a friend to help."

This time, Bai Lu was even more surprised.

Her phoenix eyes brightened, and she asked in surprise, "...friend?"

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

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

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

Bai Lu was even more confused.

Only one side?
Only said a few words?

She sighed softly from the bottom of her heart, she just took it as 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, she looked at Bai Xiu, and said seriously: "In a few days... the registration for the 'Newcomer War' will be closed, if you don't participate this year, you will only have next year left, if you don't get it Dream of Tinder, those people from the Presbyterian Church will definitely trouble you!"

With a calm expression, Bai Xiu gave a soft hum.

"Very good!" Bai Lu smiled, "Should we sign up now? There's still time!"

Bai Xiu 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? Could it be that you don't care about the dream of Tinder?"

"how could be……"

Bai Xiu shook his head again, "If there is really a spark in the future, of course I want to become a 'god seat' like Mr. Gu Changzhi. It's just that I'm not strong enough this year."

Bai Xiu said that he is not strong enough, many people will think this sentence is a joke.

But Bai Lu knew...he was serious.

This is a guy who is extremely strict with himself.

In addition to having a strong talent, but also incomparable hard work.

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

It is the dream of tinder, and there is only one chance to comprehend it.

Because of the respect for the "God Throne" in his heart, Bai Xiu must ensure that when he comprehends the dream of Tinder, he is in the most powerful and peak state!
"No...it's different this time."

Bai Lu quickly explained: "You've been in the tundra for too long, you don't know what happened in Nagano..."

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

He waited quietly for the next article.

The witch of the Bai family gritted her teeth and said, "The Snow Forbidden City... a very powerful genius has come!"

"He is really powerful!"
