Bulwark of Light

Chapter 381 Baby
"Ah..."

"Ah!"

Gu Shen sneezed twice in one breath.

"One curse, two misses...someone misses you."

Chu Ling's voice sounded in the spiritual link, and added just right: "That person is not me."

And such a thing?

Gu Shen looked a little weird and rubbed his nose.

He pushed open the courtyard door, and the spring breeze was blowing.

After several consecutive heavy snowfalls, Nagano finally sent off the cold winter, the snow layer thawed, the willow trees sprouted, winter went to spring, the grass grew and the warblers flew to the February sky, it was a good time for meditation. During this time, the Spring Rain Temple finally cleared up, and there should be no people there. Will you think of yourself?

Snow Forbidden City is very lively these days.

It's that time of year again when the Newcomer War begins.

Because a certain genius did not participate in the war, the young children of the three schools and five families signed up at the last moment... The fight should be in full swing at this moment.

But the villa area is just the opposite.

Luo Yu was busy investigating the case, and Gu Nanfeng took the tomb ghost to nowhere. After the rookie battle started, Chunyu Temple had no challengers, and Shen Li hadn't come for a few days, so the entire villa area was empty. Senior Sister Lu, who is left to watch, is still practicing saber arts.

Rarely clean.

Gu Shen's state of mind is very ethereal.

Not long ago, I left for the tundra for a few days, and a thick layer of snow piled up in the courtyard of Chunyuguan. Gu Shen began to clean the falling snow in the courtyard, and then took out the ancient Chinese pattern of Qingzuo, and quietly studied in the courtyard alone.

Before you know it, time flies.

Studying ancient prose and dismantling formation diagrams are the most labor-intensive and time-consuming practices... I often immerse myself in it, and it takes a long time to pass by in a blink of an eye. As an ordinary person, I really don't have the qualifications to study "ancient prose". Supported by mental strength, even if you have the determination to forget to eat and sleep, you don't have the physical strength to last all night.

Looking up again, it was getting late.

The frozen snow in the yard has melted a lot, and the previous sunlight fell on the body, and it is already a little bit cold and twilight.

Gu Shen put on a thin coat and prepared to continue the "night battle with the lights on". If the days were kept so clean...it would be a beautiful thing.

He was very happy.

I don't bother to pay attention to what the geniuses in Nagano have done for the dream of Tinder.

"Gu Shen!"

There was a noise.

A burst of snow fell from the courtyard door.

Along with the broken snow, there was a familiar female voice.

A woman in a black feather cloak entered the yard without seeing anyone else. She sat opposite Gu Shen's stone table, gritted her silver teeth and said, "You clearly said earlier that I have a bad omen...you...you are lying to me. !"

The two words that Bai Lu shouted before entering the hospital, her voice was quite loud, but after she caught a glimpse of the wooden knife hanging in the air, she lowered her voice in the last half of the sentence, full of anger.

"Ominous omen..."

Gu Shen was startled for a moment, looked at the other party, and then remembered his unintentional prophecy at the beginning, he smiled and said: "Why is Miss Bai so angry?"

"I have been meditating in Zongtang for a long time... just worried about encountering bad luck."

Bai Lu, who is very wary of the word "auspicious", has been drinking tea and reading under the ginkgo tree in the Zongtang for the past few days, meditating and meditating, and only today did she vaguely realize that something was wrong.

She said coldly: "But I went out and walked around today, and I didn't encounter any 'ominous'."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Gu Shen said indifferently: "The word divination is originally meant to seek good fortune and avoid evil, so how can it determine misfortune...Since you have been quietly practicing in the imperial hall for a few days, maybe it is because of this, you can avoid evil." It started the disaster that should have happened."

Bai Lu angrily stared at the boy in front of her.

In the past few days, Nagano City has been peaceful and peaceful, so how can there be any disasters?
Now that I think about it... it's all ominous and ominous, it's all Gu Shen's random nonsense!
It's just that if Gu Shen doesn't admit it, she can't help it.

"Your Majesty ran such a long distance, isn't it just to visit the door to question the crime?" Gu Shen brushed off the ancient Chinese drawing, and said softly: "If there is nothing else, Miss Bai can go back, I still have to be busy."

Gu Shen is very experienced in dealing with Bai Lu.

He has never been too lazy to talk.

The other party is the daughter of the Bai family, with a distinguished status, so she still needs to talk to her, but after finishing the business, Gu Shen directly issued the order to evict the guest.

"Etc., etc!"

Bai Lu's expression suddenly changed. She was originally a "little overlord" running wild in Nagano, and no one in the Forbidden Snow City would be afraid to see her, but she met a "ruthless person" like Gu Shen who would not give in.

If you disagree, please come back.

The wicked need the wicked to grind.

Her tone softened, and she said sincerely: "For the previous incident, I was rude, and I apologize to you."

Gu Shen frowned.

He looked at Bai Lu with a strange expression.

Apologize?

He wasn't surprised by whoever said this sentence... But it happened to come from Bai Lu's mouth, which made Gu Shen a little uncomfortable.

"The sun is coming out of the west?"

Gu Shen put away the ancient Chinese drawings, glanced at the wooden knife hanging above Feng Lai Guan, and said calmly, "I have something to say."

"Okay." Bai Lu sighed softly, "I came here on a special trip, but I actually want to know...what happened in Qingzuka? Did you meet Xiaoxiuzi?"

Because of the assassination, Xiaoxiuzi had a very unhappy fight with the Council of Elders.

Although this matter was suppressed, it was not spread in Snow Forbidden City... But the news that Bai Xiu would not participate in the rookie battle still caused a lot of controversy. Many people began to speculate whether there was a rift between Bai Xiu and the Bai family.

After thinking about it, she decided to come to Gu Shen to find out what happened.

Rumors about Bai Xiu in Snow Forbidden City in the past few days have also reached Gu Shen's ears. From the two names that Master Qianye pointed out, and the recent abnormalities in the Bai Clan Hall, Gu Shen can probably guess that Bai Xiu probably suffered a lot. What happened, and the general situation inside the Bai family now.

After guessing, he guessed that this is a private matter of the Bai family, and Gu Shen is not interested in getting involved too much.

"This matter...you should ask Bai Xiu." He smiled lightly, "I heard that you two grew up together in the Forbidden Snow City, and you are considered childhood sweethearts. Why do you ask me about the Bai family?"

Bai Lu pinched her cuffs and was left speechless by the question.

"Actually, nothing happened in Qingzhong." Gu Shen said frankly: "This is the first time Bai Xiu and I met. We talked for a while in Qingzhong, but we didn't do anything."

"Is that so..."

Bai Lu murmured softly, still pinching her sleeves.

She was hesitating whether to continue speaking.

In fact, she also knew that it was impolite for her to rush to the door and ask Gu Shen about the white sleeves.

Now the whole of Nagano is discussing what happened in Kiyotsuka.

Most people are concerned about... why Gu Shen and Bai Xiu didn't fight.

But in fact, Bai Lu didn't pay attention to this matter... Or to put it another way, she probably knew the reason why the two didn't fight.

It only took one day.

Xiaoxiuzi found out the identity of the person who sacrificed his life and the murderer who planned the assassination in the tundra... This is something that the elders failed to do, if anyone can do it.

Looking at Nagano, it seems that only Master Qianye, the guardian of the tomb, can predict the future.

Take a deep breath.

Bai Lu contemplated for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She looked directly at Gu Shen, and slowly said, "At the beginning, I just thought it was interesting, fun... The reason why I made the deal with Han Dang was not because I really cared about the vulgar thing. , I just want to see what the so-called 'S-class' looks like."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.

He looked calm and took a sip of water.

Just so quietly listening to Bai Lu's words.

"Thinking about it now, what I did before... Many places are very inappropriate. I apologize to you."

It was really not easy for Bai Lu to say such a thing.

But after saying it, I was relieved.

Bai Lu said seriously: "Thank you for helping Xiaoxiuzi."

Although a crazy woman.

But not stupid.

Gu Shen knew that with Bai Xiu's personality, he wouldn't say much.

Then Bai Lu probably guessed what happened to Kiyotsuka.

"For Kiyotsuka, he has already expressed his gratitude."

Gu Shen didn't say anything, got up slowly, walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "As for your apology, please accept it, it's unnecessary... I haven't taken your little tricks to heart yet."

Bai Lu was taken aback.

Subconsciously, a sullen look appeared on that pretty face.

Gu Shen turned around and returned to the house, and said calmly: "Miss Bai, it's getting late, go back quickly, so that other people won't misunderstand. When you leave...remember to close the courtyard door for me."

Bai Lu was silent again and again.

The annoyance in her eyes gradually disappeared and gradually became complicated.

……

……

Good things don't last long.

The days of cleaning up did not last long.

After Gu Shen returned to Nagano, the spring rain temple immediately had guests on the second day, but it was no longer the scene of "unfriendly visitors" yesterday.

This time it was an old acquaintance.

Gong Zi, Shen Li, and Mu Nan got together at some point... The three of them appeared in front of the gate of Chunyu Temple with a tacit understanding, and then habitually opened the door to drink tea and bask in the sun.

Gu Shen looked at the three people who turned against customers, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother Gu, it's a pity that you didn't go to the Snow Forbidden City yesterday." Mu Nan was in high spirits, exaggerating, "You didn't see that the old palace defeated many opponents along the way, sweeping three schools and five families... That dream of the spark must be Didn't run away."

"Preliminaries, preliminaries, not worth mentioning..."

Gong Zi smiled slightly, and then said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Lao Gong!"

Shen Li drank tea at the side, and said seriously to Gu Shen: "Although it sounds exaggerated, this guy does have skills. If there are no accidents...he will be the champion in this rookie battle."

Gong Zi, this guy, doesn't seem to be very serious in his usual work, but in fact his strength is not bad.

It's just not the right time.

The appearance of Baixiu made all the geniuses in Forbidden Snow City feel overwhelmed.

"There are still a few more rounds, and this time the opponent has less white sleeves, so it's a lot easier... However, winning the championship is not easy." Gong Zi shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "There is a man named Zhu Wang in the Judgment Office. Lian Zhou's strength is not bad, it is already the strength of the seventh layer in the deep water area, so it should not be underestimated."

"In this rookie battle...is there a third-stage transcendent?" Gu Shen was a little surprised.

He had just finished a fight in the tundra, and he knew very well how big the difference was between these two levels of superhumans.

This is an almost impassable limit.

The rookie battle is a "group arena", and there are many rules and restrictions, just click as far as you can, and the winner will be determined.

Under such conditions, even if there are some "taboo means", they can't use all their strength, and now they are fighting with the so-called seventh-tier transcendent... There is a high probability that they will fall into a disadvantage.

"In the past, the peak of the sixth floor was enough to win."

Gong Zi solemnly said: "It's just because of the white sleeves... the geniuses in the Forbidden Snow City have also worked extra hard. In this rookie battle, several extraordinary people at the seventh level appeared."

This is the truth.

The appearance of Baixiu made the geniuses in the entire Forbidden Snow City feel the pressure.

This is a "bright" era, in addition to the shining white sleeves on the top of the mountain, many people are also glowing.

"As far as I know, besides that 'Lian Zhou', there is a third-stage superhuman in the command post." Gong Zi looked serious, "If I want to win the 'Dream of Tinder', I must defeat them."

Gu Shen was a little more surprised.

Even Gong Zi's strength... has even reached the seventh floor.

Chi Huo's probing ability has always been very strong. He has not seen the depth of Gong Zi in several meetings, but he never thought that the 20-year-old young master of the Gong family could practice to such a level.

"Although the biggest boss didn't participate in the battle, it's not easy to win the Tinder Dream."

Gong Zi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I still want to give it a try... Is there any chance to comprehend the dream left by the seat of God? If so, it will be done?"

In the past few years, the level of the rookie battle has been getting higher and higher, and the overall cultivation strength of the younger generation in the entire Forbidden Snow City has also become stronger.

But even so, none of the champions of the rookie battle could successfully comprehend the dream of the fire seed.

All fail.

Some people even feel frustrated and devastated because of the failure of enlightenment.

Before Gu Changzhi fell asleep, the dream of tinder left to Nagano was not so much "hope"...it was more like a cruel reality.

Wanting to become a God Throne is truly difficult.

Even if it is the first level, among thousands of people, there may not be one person who can stand up.

"Calm down, whether it's winning the championship or gaining enlightenment, it's not as important as your own practice." Gu Shen patted Gong Zi on the shoulder and said, "You just said... There is a disciple under Zhu Wang's sect named 'Lian'. boat'."

Young Master Gong smiled.

"I knew you would notice this guy..." He investigated Gu Shen's files very carefully, and he naturally knew about the troubles Gu Shen encountered after he came to Nagano.

Most of them are from the door of Mr. Shu's "opponent".

"Zhu Wang is now a famous figure in Nagano City. His disciples have produced a large number of geniuses. There is Han Dang in the front and Lian Zhou in the back. Although they are not the top geniuses like you and Bai Xiu, they are strong enough."

Gong Zi opened her mouth slowly.

"The East Continent Federation has announced to the three institutes about Mr. Shu. The two titles Shu and Tiantong have embarked on the 'new channel' in the disaster situation of Phi Yue City. It has not been a year or so, and I am afraid that even a piece of news will pass. Can't come out...In view of the emergency, the parliament decided to appoint Zhu Wang as the interim arbitrator."

"Although it is said to be a temporary adjudicator, it really holds the real power after all. I heard that Zhu Wang is planning to add a seat for the adjudicator... If this proposal is passed, the adjudication office will have more than one adjudicator at that time." .”

When Gu Shen heard this, he already understood: "...then Zhu Wang's temporary position will completely become an official position."

"good."

Gong Zi calmly said: "If Lian Zhou wins the rookie battle, then Zhu Wang's reputation will reach its peak, and the position of the Grand Adjudicator will be more secure. The significance of the rookie battle is not just the dream of Tinder, although it is a white It is a session that I did not participate in, but it is the session with the highest gold content so far... Everyone wants to compete for a ranking, the higher the better."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, and slowly asked: "Are you confident that you can win?"

"If it's a head-on confrontation, of course there's no problem."

Gong Zi smiled, "If I don't even have the confidence to win against this kind of guy...why should I go for Tinder Dream?"

"Confrontation..."

Gu Shen keenly grasped the point of this sentence.

"I have collected all the videos of Lian Zhou's duel in the rookie battle this time." Gong Zi summoned the mental image, and he said in a deep voice: "This guy is indeed very strong...but I always feel that it is a bit strange... ..."

Gu Shen started watching these videos.

Because it was a ring battle, the venue was limited, and the camera footage was stable and clear. This matchup was very clear.

Lian Zhou faced opponents with different levels of strength.

There are casual cultivators on the third floor of the deep sea, with limited talent, and the age has reached the final limit for registration, so they are forced to participate in the rookie competition. They want to try their luck and see if they can go a few more rounds. As a result, I met Lian Zhou when I came up, and the ending was undoubtedly a round trip.

There are also young geniuses whose strength has reached the fifth floor of the deep water area, which is quite impressive.

These people were all solved by Lian Zhou within 1 minute!
What Lian Zhou did...was very simple. He just bowed before the fight started, and after the referee announced the start of the fight, he kept a distance and stood where he was.

Then the video fell into a stillness... After a few seconds, or tens of seconds, the opponent's clothes were torn apart in an instant, hundreds of blood holes burst, and blood was splashed.

It's actually quite a bloody scene.

Against Shang Lianzhou, no matter what level the opponent is... the ending is the same.

Finally, he was carried down urgently and sent to the hospital for treatment.

Because Lian Zhou's methods are too cruel...there are already abstainers, as long as he gets on the ring, the opponent will declare abstention.

When Gu Shen saw these videos, his expression became more serious.

"That's why I came to the Spring Rain Temple today." Gong Zi exhaled lightly, and asked earnestly, "I want you to take a look, what kind of method Lian Zhou used...was it a mental attack, or a domain? "

Although she has the belief that she must win, seeing these images, Gong Zi always feels a little weird in her heart.

Gu Shen is a master of the spiritual department, maybe he can see something.

"It's not like mental power..."

Gu Shen watched it several times, played it slowly with Chu Ling, but didn't see the clue...

If it is a domain or ability, then there should be a sign of activation.

In the case of a mental attack... a medium is also needed for his own blazing fire to detonate his body.

"It's more like... a certain sealed item, a very powerful sealed item, the kind that can directly tear apart the flesh." Gu Shen frowned, and said, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

"For this battle, only one sealed item is allowed." Gong Zi hesitated, "Maybe I can ask my family for a protective treasure."

"so……"

Gu Shen thought for a while and said seriously: "I'll lend you a treasure, it's not considered a sealed item...you can wear it on your body, and if it's a physical attack, it can definitely resist it."

"Baby?" Gong Zi was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving, "Isn't it a treasure of a sealed item?"

Gu Shen went into the house.

When he came out again, he was holding a gleaming iron coat.
