Bulwark of Light

Chapter 420 Please order
"The time is coming soon. After Gu Shen entered the cemetery...no news has come out yet."

The Patriarch of the Palace family looked dignified.

He and the old president Zhou Wei stood at the entrance of the cemetery, silently looking at the Tongtian Gate in the distance.

According to the plan...within one hour, the extraordinary teams from the five great families and the three major institutes will complete their assembly and enter the cemetery.

As for what's going on inside.

No one knows yet.

Gu Shen had already entered the Qingzhong Mausoleum with the A-level sealed item [Wanli] from the safety committee, but this time, just like the previous explorers, he lost track of him.

Mu Yi, the head of the Mu family, slowly came to Gong Qing's side: "Perhaps...the situation in the cemetery is not as simple as we imagined."

"..."

The Patriarch of the Gong Family silently glanced at Mu Yi.

Now Gong Zi is still on her way back to Dongzhou... Because of the repentance of her marriage with Grand Duke Duanyang, there has been a lot of turmoil within the Gong family, but there has been a scandal about the new engagement in the Mu family.

There have been subtle changes in the relationship between the two.

He and Mu Yiben were old friends for many years, but...the two of them, as patriarchs, put their personal friendships behind the interests of the family.

"I used Zongtang's forbidden sealed item 'Snow Mirror'."

Mu Yi said seriously: "The outside of this cemetery is covered by extremely powerful spiritual power, and the extraordinary source quality projected by the snow mirror has been absorbed by the cemetery..."

"So, [Wan Li] is also invalid in the cemetery?" Elder Zhou Wei looked a little helpless.

In fact, he had anticipated this possibility before sending out the sealed item.

After all, the spiritual power in that cemetery is really too strong.

No matter what, you have to give it a try, but if [Wanli] still fails to start...

Then the situation is really not optimistic.

The waiting time is limited. If there is no information from Gu Shen after entering the cemetery... then the next extraordinary team will need to explore by themselves when they enter the cemetery.

Most importantly, all those who enter the cemetery will face the same problem.

That is, cut off contact with the outside world.

No one knows what happened inside.

And if you want to know...there is only one way, and that is to enter the mausoleum in person.

This is an endless loop.

"Brother Gong."

Mu Yi thought for a while, and said seriously: "When entering the cemetery, be very careful. The power of the snow mirror is swallowed up. It may be a warning. Sending too strong a transcendent may suffer a huge blow. I suggest first Those who dial into the mausoleum, don't send high-level transcendents, in order to ensure safety, our two families can join hands and take care of each other..."

"Thank you, Patriarch Mu, for your kindness. When I enter the mausoleum, I will make my own arrangements."

Gong Qing spoke lightly, and it was not difficult to hear from the tone that he did not want to communicate with Mu Yi in depth.

Mu Yi could only sigh softly in his heart.

He knows that under such circumstances, his words are hard to convince. There are a lot of unowned fire dreams scattered in the cemetery, and he persuades the Gong family not to send the main force. "Dream", was it taken back by other explorers?

Before the fire incident on Long Street, perhaps there is still something to talk about.

But now.

Nothing to talk about.

"It's getting late, the extraordinary people of the Gu family... have already set off."

Gong Qing said softly: "Everyone, I will not accompany you."

Looking at it like this, Gu Shen's information can't be waited for.

After another hour of deduction and calculation, [Deep Sea] has given an evaluation report on the extraordinary aura inside the cemetery.

Inside this golden door, there is no shock phenomenon of the extraordinary source quality gushing out.

Theoretically speaking... the transcendental teams of the five great families that have completed the assembly can already enter it.

Gu Lushen's troops had already dispatched first and entered the cemetery.

Seeing this scene, the others also started to act, no longer waiting.

……

……

The long night in the Snow Forbidden City was ignited for a moment by the bolide.

Then the long silence resumed.

At the end of Bai's long alley, there was a woman standing.

Behind her, there are countless lively and noisy voices.

The entire Bai clan is gathering... It has been nearly ten years since such a grand and grand scene occurred.

After the high-level meeting of the Snow Forbidden City, the Bai clan's elders immediately condensed extraordinary people whose strength was above the second stage. According to the evaluation of [Deep Sea], these people have the strength to step into the cemetery... and the strength of the clan has reached A transcendent in the third stage can become the leader of the "squad". The number of a team ranges from five to ten people, and several teams will soon be condensed.

Because the scene of the big explosion was too frightening.

The clan is not prepared to devote all its extraordinary power at once.

It's just... In order to ensure the maintenance of order in the cemetery and to seize the opportunity to collect the "Dream of Tinder", the strength of the first batch of extraordinary people still needs to be guaranteed.

On the other side of the street, the lanterns were shaking, and there were many shadows.

This side of the street is still shrouded in the long night.

Bai Lu stood at the entrance of the alley, she was waiting.

Her expression looked as calm as water, but in reality she was quite disturbed... It had been a year.

That old house has been silent for a year.

At this juncture, you always have to make some noise, right?
"It seems... Xiaoxiuzi is still in the stage of retreat, this time he won't enter the mausoleum."

A thick voice sounded.

Bai Zesheng did not know when he came to the woman's side, his voice was a bit regretful, the breeze blew the linen robe and hair, the black in those pupils was deeper than the long night.

"Second Elder..."

Bai Lu's voice was very soft, "The dream of tinder is very important to Xiaoxiu..."

Bai Zesheng smiled and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing for him to stay here alone. Everyone has left, and this place is clean."

Done.

"Miss Bai Lu," he patted Bai Lu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late...it's time to go."

Bai Lu was also among those entering the cemetery.

Although she is a woman, she is also one of the best extraordinary geniuses in the Snow Forbidden City. She was able to become the disciple of "Mr. Shan" not because of her prominent family, but because of her own talent.

But this time, the appearance of the Golden Gate rekindled hope for many geniuses.

If you can enter the cemetery.

Maybe...you can pick up a dream of tinder.

Start your own "Road to God"!
Bai Lu withdrew her gaze from Changxiang, the moment she turned around.

"Squeak" sounded.

There was a soft wooden door pushing sound.

The small courtyard in the distance, which had been silent for a year, finally made a sound bordering the world.

Bai Lu was stunned.

Bai Zesheng was also stunned.

"I've already told Little Sleeve about Kiyotsuka..."

In the night, Bai Xiaochi folded his sleeves and walked slowly. He stood at the entrance of the alley, behind him was the Bai's Presbyterian Church, and the younger generation of the Bai family. Everyone held their breaths and looked at the wooden door that was slowly pushed open.

"This time, he will also enter the mausoleum."

Dressed in white clothes like snow, he slowly walked out of the courtyard.

……

……

Lee's Ancestral Hall.

Compared with the other five families, Li's movement is the least.

Because of the death of the former head of the family, Li Quhu, the entire Li family is now in a "slow" operation... This is a very strange state, and a large number of incidents have been piled up.

Li Qingsui was running around Nagano, busy accepting the case files that had not been processed by the previous head of the family, but her strength was too weak, and wherever she went, there was a lot of thunder and rain, and most of them were superficial compliments and flattery. The promotion is still slow.

The essential reason for this problem is...the elders do not agree with her as the Patriarch.

Li Qingsui was not in a hurry either. The purpose of what she did was not to promote the projects of the Li Group, but to find the "dark part" left by her father.

As the chess player sitting on the opposite side of the board.

Now, she wants to play a game of chess with Li's Presbyterian Church.

The first step is to find your own pieces.

She thought it would be a "long" war.

……

……

After the big explosion at the Kiyotsuka Cemetery, Nagano's top leaders held a spiritual meeting.

And there was only one Li Shi who attended this meeting.

The Great Elder of the Li Clan, Li Changsheng.

This Great Elder has a very high prestige. He has gone through three generations of the Li clan's patriarchs. He can be described as a "Three Dynasties Veteran". His age is almost older than Nagano's current mainstay, a Jiazi, and such a "existence"... is already considered to be the existence of the Li clan. A spiritual symbol that has barely meddled in family affairs over the years.

Most of the matters were handled by his younger brother, Li Changchi, the second elder of the Li family.

Come out this time.

It can be regarded as breaking the "rules", and it can also be regarded as confirming the "rumors" of the outside world.

The new head of the Li family is not qualified enough to stand up for the family.

While holding a meeting at the Nagano high-level.

An important meeting was also held in the Li Clan Hall.

The Council of Elders submitted a "request" to Li Qingsui, requesting her to wait outside the Zongtang for the final result of the meeting.

Request is a euphemistic word.

But the current situation is very serious.

The so-called "invitation order" is the "supervisory power" that the elders will only use at critical moments. In Li's past years, only one or two incompetent family heads forced the elders to use this thing.

Please enter the hall.

If you don't want to... take back your rights.

Li Qingsui was standing just outside the Zongtang, her expression was calm, and there was a bit of coldness between her brows, it hadn't snowed in Nagano yet, but her eyes were colder than snow.

Received the "request" from the Presbyterian Church, which is actually considered a humiliation.

At the end of the day, she did nothing wrong.

Compared with those stupid patriarchs in Li's history... her only mistake was that she was too young.

Maybe one more, too kind.

"I can probably guess that the content of this meeting..."

Li Qingsui said: "These people should be discussing the matter of 'impeaching the Patriarch'."

Gao Tian, ​​who was by his side, spoke softly.

"With me here, the results they talked about are not important."

Since Li Quhu's death, Nagano no longer has the "shackles" that can restrain him.

The reason why he stayed in the Li family was because he owed a huge favor.

And these years, the favor has been paid off.

The invisible shackles called morality have been untied.

Gao Tian is still obeying Li Quhu's "last wish" before his death... If the elders are willing to abide by the rules, then he will quietly be a bystander, but if someone violates the rules.

He will make a move.

The worst case is that he takes Li Qingsui and leaves Nagano.

"After my father died... in the first few days, there was actually anger in my heart."

Li Qingsui stood outside the Zongtang.

She looked at the dead leaves falling in the imperial hall and the figures reflected in the paper window, and said, "It's not anger at them, it's anger at father. Since I'm asked to take on such a big burden...why don't you change all this?" Keep it simple."

This is a game with huge gaps.

The "chess players" sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard are shadows shrouded in a large fog. They are adults with age after age, calculations, and far surpassing themselves. In the fog, all of them reveal insidiousness and cunning... Qualities like that.

As for myself sitting here, it was difficult for me to move forward, and it was very difficult for me to even find a usable "chess piece".

The only "heavy weapon" he has is still bound by the rules.

Gao Tian was also silent.

Li Quhu did not really "swallow wolves and drive tigers" for his daughter, but left behind a dangerous situation.

"Now I'm starting to understand... why he did it."

Li Qingsui smiled softly, "Uncle Gao, you can help me with many things, but you are the only one who can't help me become the head of the Li family that everyone expects. For some things, I can only rely on myself."

Li's "situation" is already doomed.

The only thing Li Quhu can do is to let himself live a few more years and watch Li Qingsui grow up.

Because of Gu Changzhi's deep sleep.

It is inevitable that there will be cracks within the five families... and the day when the cracks will become bigger will eventually come. These cracks will appear in various places, and eventually spread to each of the five families.

Gao Tian was silent.

Yes.

The reason why he abides by the "rules" and waits here is also the reason.

He can guard the young lady's growth.

But it can't grow up instead of Miss.

The road to becoming the "head of the family"...is destined to have many ups and downs.

This may be the most turbulent year for Lee in the past century.

If Miss wants to hold power against her in such a situation, she must...not be peaceful.

"Miss Qingsui, Mr. Gao."

Outside the Zongtang, someone came out to greet him soon.

Li Qingsui noticed that this person's name for him had changed.

He made a gesture of invitation, signaling Gao Tian and Li Qingsui to enter.

Li Qingsui smiled lightly and entered the Zongtang.

Gao Tian followed closely, but was stopped.

"Mr. Gao... Great Elder wants to see you." The waiter spoke softly, and pointed to another direction not far from the Zongtang, which was the quiet room where Great Elder Li Changsheng lived.

The distance between these two places...is not far.

Gao Tian nodded slowly.

When he was leaving, he cast a firm gaze on Li Qingsui.

The two entered the two rooms respectively.

……

……

In the quiet room, there is only one dry lamp.

Lights like beans.

Li Quhu's funeral was held in Qingzhong Mausoleum, but there was only one member of the whole family who did not attend, and that person was the Great Elder Li Changsheng.

He had a very serious illness.

That sounds like an excuse.

But when we meet now, Gao Tian is sitting opposite the Great Elder... He knows that the excuse of not being able to attend the funeral due to serious illness is not an excuse.

This is "old disease".

This old man was really too old, with gray hair, cloudy eyes, and a thick wool roll blanket over his linen robe, his spirits began to slacken.

Just sitting in front of the lights, waiting for Gao Tian's arrival.

The older an extraordinary person is, the greater the amount of extraordinary source quality he has accumulated.

But from the moment his spirit declines...it means that his strength will decline.

Li Changsheng's extraordinary source quality was like a sea.

But Gao Tian just watched calmly, without any fear... because the old man's spirit is so fragile that he doesn't need to touch it by himself, and it will decay automatically after a few years.

This is Li's last "title".

But can such an extraordinary person still fight?
"Xiao Gao..."

Li Changsheng had just finished the meeting in Snow Forbidden City. During the whole meeting, he just lowered his eyes and listened quietly, without saying a word... The other leaders in power also skipped the speaking part for the old lady Li very considerately.

Now everyone in the three major institutes and five institutes is preparing to enter the cemetery, and Mrs. Li may be the only exception...

Because they are busy resolving internal "disputes".

For Li Shi... this is the most important thing.

In the quiet room, an ethereal spiritual sound echoed.

Li Changsheng didn't open his mouth, but used his mental strength to carry on the conversation.

"Grandpa."

Gao Tian, ​​who is good at spirit, responded with his mouth.

"Thank you... for your contribution to Mrs. Li over the years."

The old man wrapped in a blanket slowly raised his head. There seemed to be a magical power in his deep eye sockets that could not be moved away at a glance.

Gao Tian looked directly into those eyes.

There was a faint sound of wind in his ears.

this moment.

He realized something was wrong.

The lights in the quiet room were still burning, but it was very ethereal... and the terrifying thing was that all directions were plunged into extreme darkness, and those old and deep eye sockets seemed to be gradually becoming younger.

It seems that there is a force that goes against common sense, manifesting on the old man's body.

Gao Tian felt that he had an illusion.

The rickety back straightened bit by bit.

The woolen blanket fell to the floor.

The thin linen robe was stretched open by the chest.

Candlelight in the darkness swept over a cloudy and uncertain face.

Li Changsheng stretched out his withered and aged fingers.

Those two fingers pressed a token, and slowly pushed forward on the table between the two of them. When they were pushed out, the old knuckles became younger, and when they were finally pushed in front of Gao Tian, It has turned into the slender fingers of a 20-year-old young man.

"Li Shi... is facing unprecedented changes..."

"I made the choice for Mrs. Li."

Li Changsheng's spiritual voice echoed in the small quiet room.

His voice is no longer old, but young, full and full of vigor.

Gao Tian stared at the token... It was a keepsake coat of arms engraved with grapes.

In this world, there is no power that can make people rejuvenate.

If there is.

It can only be a miracle.

He stood up and wanted to push the door to leave, but the door frame that was within reach turned into boundless darkness.

A small quiet room.

At this moment, it has become an endless cage.
