Bulwark of Light

Chapter 397 Cooperation
Ancient text slate!

The biggest secret of the base of the Evening Bell Church discovered in the tundra area...is that piece of ancient inscription stone.

Gu Shen finally killed Mr. Zhuo, and searched the memory of the tablet in his mental ocean, but at the last moment of interpretation, a ray of spiritual power from the God of Storms descended, causing the transmission of the memory of the tablet to be interrupted.

In fact, even if this memory is obtained, it may not be able to decipher it successfully. [Ancient characters] can be said to be the ultimate problem facing all human beings, and it has not been overcome so far.

But Gu Shen had a vague feeling.

Xiao Xiao knows something about these ancient texts!

At least...he knows something!

The man sitting opposite Gu Shen couldn't help laughing when he heard the first question.

"I should have told you that the contents of this slate... I can only recognize part of it. So you don't expect me to decipher the entire slate and tell you what the contents are?"

Blood and fire blended and swayed.

As long as there is even the slightest fluctuation of mental power, there is no way to avoid the other party's detection.

Gu Shen knew that Xiao was not lying.

He motioned for the other party to continue talking.

"As far as I know, there is a 'forbidden technique' recorded on this stone slab, which is similar to Ni's divination." Xiao said slowly: "As for what that technique is, I didn't write it in detail on the slate, and Or maybe I didn't understand it...but it's definitely something that drives countless people crazy."

The swaying of the blood fire was very steady.

Ok.

Not lying.

"About the content on the slate... that's all I know." He looked straight into Gu Shen's eyes and shrugged: "You have a good idea about this question, but it's a pity...you asked the wrong person."

Basically no effective information was obtained.

But Gu Shen was basically satisfied.

He didn't expect that this so-called "one question and one answer" and "being honest with each other" could reveal any real secrets. In Gu Shen's view, the more important meaning of this exchange of questions and answers was to ensure that he was in the "important information". "In terms of cognition, he is on the same level as Xiao Xiao.

This is a gambler, a liar.

If you want to cooperate with him, you must see enough "clear".

By the way, let's find out what other weird tricks this guy has.

"Okay...according to the rules, now it's my turn to ask."

Xiao smiled and said, "This lamp, which seems to have nothing special... What kind of sealed item is it?"

Good question.

Gu Shen answered quickly, almost instantly: "This lamp is not a sealed item."

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

He looked at Gu Shen and was speechless for a moment.

I just asked a question on my front foot, before the voice landed, Gu Shen had already finished answering, the whole process only took about one second, maybe two seconds?

And the spiritual feedback is proof... Gu Shen is not lying.

Xiaodu looked a little ugly. In his opinion, Li Shi spent such a large price to find the "antique lamp". This behavior must have deep meaning and connotation. This is definitely not an ordinary "antique lamp". Antique object", this must be a sealed item with extremely deep hidden characteristics.

Not a sealed item?
"This lamp...is it really just a lamp?"

Xiao couldn't believe it, he looked up in confusion, his eyes were full of incomprehension.

"Sorry," Gu Shen said lightly, "Now it's my turn to ask."

Xiao snorted coldly, silently squeezed the handle of the chair, and narrowed his eyes.

"What did you get in the tomb?"

This was also a question that Gu Shen could not get an answer to.

The time they fought against each other in the snow field.

Xiao sounded the alarm and told himself contentedly before "dying"...he got what he wanted.

From the opening of the coffin to the end, I have seen the whole process.

Xiao Xiao's body was destroyed on the spot, and he didn't take anything away at all.

And what can be obtained... is only certain information.

After hearing the words, Xiao Xiao just smiled.

He didn't hide anything, but said frankly: "Actually, it's not a big secret. Didn't you notice that the corpse disappeared after opening the coffin? I'm pretty sure that the owner of that tomb... didn't die in the coffin in the end. He left the tomb by himself. The only thing I got from the tomb was this message."

Gu Shen recalled the scene he saw when he [Profiling]...

The owner of the tomb pushed open the coffin and walked out!
It was because of looking at it a few more times that I was contaminated with that ominous scene!
When Xiao said this, Gu Shen realized that this man was hiding something from him.

He didn't lie.

But he chose to hide it.

If he only learned of the whereabouts of the so-called "forbidden spell" from a certain stone slab of unknown origin, would he really travel thousands of miles to lurk in places like the tundra?

Do not……

The message was too general and vague.

What's more, Xiao Xiao got nothing in the end.

Could it be that just knowing that the "owner of the tomb" did not die in the coffin is already considered a "worthy trip" for him?

Xiao must have learned the more specific content of the "forbidden technique", but the way to obtain it is not on the ancient text slate... So when asking the first question, he deliberately avoided the real "forbidden technique" What is the content, but only mentions the content on the slate, which he cannot fully understand.

Gu Shen didn't understand taboo techniques.

But he knew owl.

"You know very well what the content of that taboo technique is..." Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Xiao just changed his lazy posture and responded with Gu Shen's words just now, "Sorry, this is the next question. According to the agreement, I only need to answer your previous question... Now it's my turn to ask the question."

Xiao didn't rush to ask the second question, but said slowly: "When I was in the tomb, I didn't have time to examine these funerary objects carefully... Now that I think about it, they are indeed ordinary objects, not the so-called Sealed items. But there must be a reason why Mrs. Li spent so much money looking for them, these items are by no means ordinary 'antiques'... Very good, please tell me the function of these lamps frankly."

Xiao Xiao didn't know how many lights there were.

All he knew was that there was more than one.

As for this question...it included several questions, so of course it was impossible for Gu Shen to answer honestly.

"..."

He pondered for a moment, then calmly said: "These lamps are ordinary antiques, but they are special containers that can be used to carry the spirit. As for what will happen after the spirit is carried, I don't know, and Li doesn't know either."

"I understand...thank you for your 'generous' answer." Xiao said with a sarcasm, "As for the third question after that, I don't think it's necessary to proceed, right?"

He is not a fool.

After these two answers, it was obvious that the two flames of the blood fire and the blazing fire blended together. It was said that they were honest with each other, but in fact the two sides had evil intentions, and neither of them wanted to share more information.

They exchanged questions and asked a circle, basically playing Tai Chi within the rules and going around in circles.

And the questions that really touched the other party's "secret" were unwilling to answer.

After further questioning, when Gu Shen asked about the real content of the "forbidden technique", and Xiao asked about the specific locations of "the other lamps", I am afraid that both parties would choose to refuse the question and answer and stop asking.

"It's really unnecessary. The next negotiation can also be over... It can be seen that you don't have the sincerity to negotiate." Gu Shen stretched out his palm and lightly hooked his five fingers.

"I will confiscate this thing."

The blazing fire suddenly exerted force, wrapped around the small wisp of blood, and returned to the palm of his hand.

No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is still meat.

From the very beginning, Gu Shen had no hope for this so-called "honest confession".

Deceiving a ray of blood from Xiao, it can barely be regarded as his own earning.

Without hesitation, he clenched his fist and crushed this ray of "blood fire"!
Wisps of bloody flames wrapped around Gu Shen's fist, and he finally held it in his palm.

see this scene.

The man sitting on the chair looked ugly... Confiscated my fire in front of me?
This scene is not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

unlucky!

Squeeze people's wool all day long, and be stalked by people today?
Played Tai Chi with Gu Shen, and lost a ray of original extraordinary power in vain. Looking at the other party's expression at the moment, it seems that he didn't take this conversation seriously from the beginning.

"Do you want to see my sincerity?"

Xiao said coldly, "I know the location of that lamp!"

After Gu Shen heard the words, he glanced at Xiao Xiao lightly.

He just smiled.

He didn't say anything, and didn't even take Xiao Xiao's words seriously.

The questions this time revolved around Deng... But Gu Shen didn't have the place to ask Deng at all. He knew that if this guy dared to come to the door with this message, it would not be that simple.

Those who take the initiative to come to the door will always be passive.

Compared with Gu Shen, Xiao must want to know the specific news of "Leng".

Seeing that Gu Shen didn't respond, the next thing was to drive him away...

Xiao Xiao finally couldn't hold back his temper.

"Let me tell you the truth. For those people you found, it is impossible to find lamps in Xiyin even if you find the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon."

With a solemn expression, he tapped the back of the chair with his fingers and took the initiative to release the news: "The lamp you are looking for is in the underground secret room of the Crescent Church in Xiyin City, and it is now under strict guard."

Gu Shen frowned.

"The underground chamber? How do you know?"

Xiao Xiao was a little helpless.

He stretched out a hand, and pointed to the half-color of pale blood that lingered between his brows, the meaning behind his words couldn't be more obvious...

The Crescent Church is nothing more than his "home".

"That object is just a vulgar object, how could it be favored by the Crescent Church." Gu Shen felt that it was unreasonable. Since Li Shi launched the "Looking for Lamps" project, the two lamps he brought back were found in folks. .

"Xinyin City is the headquarters of the Crescent Church. Under the church, there is a secret room dedicated to holding the 'Extraordinary Sealed Artifact', which is similar to the underground of Huaqi Building." Xiao Xiao said unhurriedly: "It's just... the first part At that time, someone paid a special tribute, saying that it was indestructible, and it was this lamp."

"It shouldn't be hard to guess what happened next... This lamp has been inspected by the extraordinary people of the church, and it is indeed found to be special. It doesn't look like a sealed item, but it has a strange toughness, so it was stored separately. In the underground chamber of the Crescent Church, it was sealed together with those sealed items."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Xiao noticed a change in Gu Shen's complexion.

He smiled, threw out an olive branch, and said, "How...do you want to consider bringing the [Lamp] out together?"

Gu Shen looked at Xiao calmly.

Team up with Xiao Xiao?

The latter said slowly: "As far as I know, the Archbishop Lanwell of the Crescent Church who is in charge of guarding these sealed artifacts is at least a great extraordinary person on the tenth floor. With his strength, if you want to take the [lamp] head-on, basically It's impossible."

"Please replace the word 'you' with 'I', thank you."

Gu Shen dismantled it unceremoniously.

Obviously... Xiao had already discovered the location of [Lamp], but he didn't do it, but ran to seek his own help... There was only one reason, he couldn't do it by himself.

Xiao didn't feel embarrassed, smiled indifferently, and said: "Indeed... I am not strong enough now, otherwise how could I meet you in such a capacity?"

to him--

[Light] Where is Gu Shen important?

Being able to take the [Lamp] away from Lanville... His strength is at least at the fourth stage. In this case, if you know that Gu Shen has arrived in Nanzhou alone, the first thing you will do is to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity , Get rid of the "blazing" master in front of you directly!
"You need someone to help you enter the crescent church underground...find the secret room where the [Lamp] is placed."

Xiao stared at Gu Shen, and slowly said: "There are dozens of secret rooms there, only one is correct."

The implication is obvious...

Only I can help you!

"Time, place, specific plan." Gu Shen spoke simply.

"Lanville has twelve believers under his command, each responsible for a part of the area, guarding the secret room 24 hours a day in rotation...these people have a 'spiritual imprint' planted by Lanville in their spiritual ocean, once they are hypnotized, they will cause Pay attention." Xiao said slowly: "The good news is that I am in charge of a part of the area, and I can take you into the underground of the church smoothly, but the bad news is... [Lamp] is located in another part of the area. Get over the guard of another believer and get the corresponding key."

"It is worth mentioning that...the underground chamber of the Crescent Church has a well-equipped strong logic material defense system, which is not at the same level as the base of the Evening Bell Church on the tundra. Once locked, it is almost impossible to escape This system will reset the password every once in a while, according to the law, the next rotation date should be three days later, if you want to do it... you have to start it as soon as possible, within three days."

Finish these in one breath.

Xiao stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "21 hours later, Lanville has an important meeting. He rarely leaves the church. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is conservatively estimated that he will leave the church for an hour. At that time, I will Waiting for you at the entrance of the underground passage of the Crescent Church, after meeting, I will tell you the specific storage location of the [lamp]."

"How to divide?"

Gu Shen smiled slightly.

He asked the most important question.

Two people, one lamp... how to divide?
"That lamp... I can give it to you. After all, it's not a sealed item, and you can't tell me how to use it. Even if I get it, it's useless."

Xiao Youyou said: "But I want other sealed items in the ground of the Crescent Church... You don't have to worry about how I can get them, I have my own way."

See the picture poorly.

Gu Shen looked at the man lazily lying on the chair, and said the most greedy words in the most flat tone.

Gu Shen wanted that "one".

He wants "all" of the rest.

"After it's over...we'll go our separate ways, and the rest will be up to our own abilities." Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "This is the whole plan."

……

……

Time is fleeting.

Gu Shen came to the door of Crescent Church at the appointed time...

Under the bright moonlight, the statue of the Goddess in the Crescent Church looked holy and solemn. He walked forward with a "pious" smile in his white robe, and exchanged blessings with several priests. At this moment, there were no believers in the church.

In front of the secret passage on the side of the church, Gu Shen saw a tall priest in a black robe, with a bloody red light shining in his eyes.

When Gu Shen saw the red light, he knew the other party's identity.

He approached slowly, and the tall priest stepped out of the passageway sideways, and at the same time, a smile appeared under the black robe: "It's really on time... I thought you would refuse..."

Gu Shen just said lightly: "Hurry up."

He did not refuse Xiao Xiao's invitation.

The reason is very simple... If the Lantern of Rage is really under the secret room of the church, then Xiao's plan is indeed the simplest and fastest way. It will take more time to seek breakthroughs through other means.

Another point is very important.

How many pairs of eyes this guy had on him in Xiyin City... Gu Shen couldn't find out in a short time.

If a certain body of Xiao was in charge of guarding the Crescent Church, and he wanted to avoid him... the difficulty would rise again, making it almost an impossible task.

In this case, "cooperation" is the only way to have no choice!

The moment the two entered the passage.

Chu Ling began to reproduce the underground map of the Crescent Church through spiritual links, spreading the network... This is a huge underground space like a prison, and the "secret objects" of the Crescent Church are stored in secret rooms. Some are sealed items, and some are important case files that cannot be seen.

The proliferation of the spiritual network soon encountered obstacles.

"It's surrounded by a huge circular wall...it's a strong logical material." Chu Ling realized that this was the defense system that Xiao had mentioned earlier. "It takes time to decipher the code..."

Gu Shen said in a deep voice, "Understood, how long will it take?"

"Thirteen digits." Chu Ling's voice became serious, "It will take a long time to decipher these codes..."

Gu Shen looked aside.

"You know... people who believe in these churches have more or less brain problems. They are all lunatics."

Xiao Xiao seemed to have the ability to read minds, guessing what Gu Shen was thinking at the moment.

He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "That's why I came here to 'work as a janitor'. Such a long password, even if I can second the authority of [Deep Sea], I can't decipher it in a short time. Under the circumstances... I would rather choose to lurk."

Xiao stood in front of the Mithril gate, looked at Gu Shen, and said slowly, "I've already dealt with another guard... [Lamp] is in secret room No. 13, and we have 15 minutes to act. Are you ready?" Is it gone?"

Gu Shen nodded.

"Go ahead."
