Bulwark of Light

Chapter 467 The Wave of the Times (big chapter)

The longer some people live, the less they see things in the world.

Come to the world with empty hands, and leave the world with empty hands.

But for some, the opposite is true.

After being blinded by desire and greed... the longer he lives and the more he owns, the less willing he is to let go of those hands, even though he knows that he won't be able to take anything with him in the end.

Li Changsheng, the great elder of the Li family, is such a person who "can't see it away".

He had everything in this world.

Identity, status, respect, wealth, power, realm.

In the entire Snow Forbidden City, there is no one who is older than him... No one could have imagined that an old man who sat and watched the flowers bloom and fade for a hundred years would personally launch a subversive plan involving the entire Li family.

In the last attic of the Zongtang, the great elder used the divine power of Dionysus to "return to the peak" and fought Gao Tian in the spiritual field. Gao Tian's tragic victory ended.

Or to put it another way...it ended with Dionysus seat withdrawing his divine power.

"I can not understand."

Standing side by side outside the wooden door of the Zongtang, Chu Ling and Gu Shen looked at the slowly collapsing attic, and asked in confusion: "At his age, is he still obsessed with Li's power?"

The last attic collapsed.

The ashes of the old man were blown away by the wind and shattered together with the dilapidated "remains".

"Perhaps... because of fear."

Gu Shen said: "The longer you live, the less you want to die. Before you leave, you always want to grab something."

Gu Nanfeng stretched out a hand and grabbed a pile of ashes.

His expression is a bit complicated.

Open your palm.

Lan Qie controlled the wind, blowing away the dust and sand in his palm bit by bit... Gu Nanfeng didn't know whether the "dust particles" falling on his palm at this moment were the ashes of the old man or the collapsed attic of flying debris.

"When I was young, I met this Great Elder. At that time, he treated people very well. Although he was old and unable to move, he was full of comfortable old spirit. That meeting made me feel very comfortable, so I have always thought that he is a very good old man, and even now, this impression is still preserved and has not changed."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "It's just that there is no wind in this world that remains unchanged. Time can change a person... Maybe he is old and confused, or he was deceived by Dionysus. No matter what the reason is, he personally destroyed himself."

Everything he had desperately wanted to hold on to before.

All vanished.

Lee will nail this sinner to the pillar of shame.

"The ancestral halls of the five families have always been well protected." He looked at Gu Shen and said, "Except for the Mu family...the long street of the Mu family's ancestral hall has been broken into several walls, but that's just Minor issue. Compared to…”

His voice stopped abruptly.

The Li Clan Hall was completely burned down, which is an irreparable damage.

"Is this a serious matter?"

Chu Ling looked at the collapsed wooden house, and asked Gu Shen in a low voice: "It should only take a month or less to rebuild such a wooden house. The hanging plaques can be rewritten, and the trees can also be replanted. Everything can be reproduced based on the image captured by [Feng Tong]."

Gu Shen looked at the burned ancestral hall, and said softly: "The ancestral hall can be rebuilt, and the old trees can be replanted, but these are brand new objects. I think the long history of 600 years under the ancient house of the ancestral hall, It is the most precious possession."

Chu Ling realized something.

She nodded, and suddenly asked seriously: "So...the body is more important than the soul, right?"

Gu Shen was taken aback.

He keenly grasped the meaning of Chu Lingwen's words.

The wish spell reshaped her body.

But her soul has never changed.

"Not the same."

Gu Shen smiled, and said slowly: "To me, your soul is better than any body in the world."

This is a heartfelt answer.

Chu Ling looked at him blankly, and said, "Why are you so nasty all of a sudden?"

"..."

Gu Shen was silent, thinking that he might have overestimated [Source Code]'s thinking ability in terms of human relationships.

"I was just thinking that the so-called long history of the Li Clan Hall may not be so precious." Chu Ling smiled, "600 years are just a small wave in the vast river."

Gu Shen thought about it seriously.

Yes.

Standing in this long river, everyone is just a "moment" that is fleeting, so...six years and 600 years are a wave that is doomed to burst.

Gu Nanfeng folded his arms and frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

He looked at Miss Chu with faint surprise... As expected of a strange person who inherited the mantle of Master Qianye, the angle of his speech was indeed a bit peculiar.

Chu Ling looked at Gu Nanfeng again, and comforted him: "From the perspective of overlooking the long river of history, the clan halls of the five great families will sooner or later fall into disrepair, and the Gu family will also usher in ruin."

This ordinary "comforting words" made Gu Nanfeng tremble in fright.

He hastily saluted with the knife in his arms, and asked seriously, "Did Miss Chu use divination to see what she said just now?"

Chu Ling was taken aback.

Gu Shen hurriedly pressed Gu Nanfeng's shoulder, motioning him not to be nervous, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Nanfeng...that will happen after a long, long time."

……

……

Gao Tian's injuries were not serious.

The battle with the Great Elder was probably a battle of strength.

The ray of divine power from Dionysus gave the Great Elder a miraculous opportunity to "return to the light" and "return to the peak".

But in fact, even the Great Elder who is at his peak cannot kill Gao Tian directly, he can only imprison him, and spend a long time mentally killing him in this cage...

At the end of this war, it is difficult to say who is tormenting.

The scale of victory is already tilting towards the sky.

Even if Dionysus didn't take back his divine power...it should have ended with Gao Tian defeating the Great Elder, but he would have to pay a painful price.

As one of the top three "spiritual powers" in Nagano City, Uncle Gao couldn't do his best for at least half a year, and his spiritual field has shrunk greatly. Fortunately, these can be recovered.

Moreover, there is not so much turmoil in the Li family today, and Gao Tian needs to come forward to deal with it.

This rebellion was a major event enough to shock the entire Nagano City.

However, in this major incident involving the Qingzhong Cemetery in the East, it seemed less conspicuous. Everyone suffered varying degrees of impact, among which the Gu family was the biggest.

After confirming that Gao Tian was fine.

The little girl Li Qingsui took Uncle Gao, and the group set off to the shrine mountain. At the foot of the shrine mountain, a group of "sinners" who hunted down her and her sister were still being imprisoned.

On the way to the shrine mountain.

very quiet.

Uncle Gao didn't drive this time, but sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

He suddenly asked, "Miss, what are you going to do with these people?"

Li Qingsui was silent for a while.

In fact, before she left for the cemetery, she had already figured out how to deal with it... If she was defeated, then these people could become bargaining chips in the negotiations, at least in exchange for her sister's freedom.

If it wins, it will be like it is now.

"It's all cut."

Li Qingsui spat out these three words lightly, seemingly casually, but with awe-inspiring killing intent.

When Gu Shen heard this, his hairs stood up vaguely.

Based on his understanding of this little girl...

This is probably true thinking.

In fact, this idea is not too much. Every transcendent who comes to Shenci Mountain is equivalent to a sword hanging from the top. If Chu Ling did not appear, then the two sisters Li Qingsui and Li Qingci would lose all their power, and free.

Crusade against the rebels, of course he should be punished!
However, now that the Li family has experienced a huge impact, if all these "old people" in the Presbyterian Church are eradicated, then the Li family will fall into an unprecedented period of weakness.

"Then...they can't be allowed to leave the Shrine Mountain." After Uncle Gao heard the words, his expression didn't change at all, and he said lightly, "If they are released, it will become very troublesome. If they are dealt with according to the procedures of the federal law, their crimes not to die."

The meaning of this sentence sounds like Uncle Gao will take action and kill all these people in the shrine mountain.

But listen carefully.

In fact, it is a faint reminder.

Before he died, Li Quhu said that he hoped that Li Qingsui would be kind, but not so kind.

The matter of concurrent killing is drastic.

But... too cruel.

"I don't want to leave any trouble..."

Of course Li Qingsui understood what Uncle Gao meant, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "When they wanted to kill me, they didn't consider the federal laws."

Take a deep breath.

Li Qingsui raised his head, looked at Uncle Gao, and asked in confusion, "If it was my father... what would he do?"

"Kill half, keep half."

Gao Tian said softly: "There are different crimes, and the punishments are different. In this rebellion, there are a group of masterminds who must be executed, and those with lesser crimes can be kept. But half, it is not that they will not be investigated. After Li's blood change , and then slowly investigate."

"Don't worry about Mrs. Li's difficulties."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "I have already talked with Huazhi... During this time, Dadu's wife will help the five families."

……

……

Bits and pieces of trivia were dealt with one by one.

The injured in the cemetery were sent to the treatment point one after another.

As for the surrounding area of ​​Kiyotsuka, a long protective belt was pulled up by the safety committee, and it was re-sealed with domain-like sealed objects, leaving only one entrance and exit, and a large number of supernatural beings were sent to guard it.

At present, the cemetery is broken, and the source quality is still surging around.

The most important pattern is still in the reconstruction period.

It's just that this time... there is no need to repair secretly. A large amount of pattern materials were sent to Nagano under the mobilization of the Dongzhou Federation. It won't take long for the broken pattern to be restored.

The gate of the cemetery.

"Mr. Gu! Miss Chu!"

It was Du Wei, an old acquaintance of the Security Committee, who was in charge of the guarding task.

As Zhou Wei's capable general, although Du Wei did not directly participate in the rescue operation of the cemetery mission, he was credited with great merit because of his excellent scheduling work. When he saw Gu Shen, he took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Mr. Du..."

Gu Shen smiled and shook hands with Du Wei.

When the Golden Gate was born, he was still trapped in the building, and was detained by the committee because of the brawl on the long street. Although it was because of Mr. Zhou Wei's oral order, Du Wei secretly helped him a lot, and he still remembers it. .

The blazing fire that is good at capturing emotions, faintly jumped.

He felt Du Wei's surging emotions at the moment, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you should be promoted soon."

Du Wei was stunned, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Then he coughed, suppressed his smile, and said cautiously, "I don't want to say that...someone is watching."

Behind Du Wei, there were several supernatural beings guarding the entrance of the cemetery, each of them looked excited. Due to their positions and status, they could only watch from afar.

The change of the cemetery this time can be described as the biggest catastrophe that Nagano has encountered in the past century.

Mr. Gu Shen saved many lives by himself.

The transcendents of the three schools and five families all received this "blessing". After leaving the cemetery, they passed on the deeds of the great cold disaster.

"Brother Gu, now...you are the hero of Nagano."

Du Wei took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It is very difficult for many people to meet you. Now I can shake hands with brother Gu and talk to you in front of my colleagues. It's an honor."

Gu Shen also smiled.

But in fact, he was quite emotional...not long ago, he was still living in seclusion in the Nagano market, and as a spectator, he devoted himself to practicing.

It's just that a strong wind suddenly picked up, and within a mere night, he was blown to the top of the worldly tide.

Come to this location.

Time and life.

So he didn't pretend to be polite, and said some fluke and other words, but sincerely said: "Brother Du, you are welcome, you and I are friends no matter what time, it was like this before tonight, and it will be like this after tonight." That's right."

Du Wei was stunned.

He clasped his hands together and sincerely said word by word: "Brother Gu, Du Mou sincerely wishes that you can go higher and higher in the future."

Gu Shen smiled again.

He took out an item from his bosom, and said softly: "Brother Du, please return this item to Mr. Zhou Wei... This is the sealed item that Mr. Zhou gave me before entering the mausoleum. Now that I am out of the mausoleum safely, it is just right return."

It was a wolf hair brush wrapped in special rice paper.

Communication sealed item, [Thousands of Miles].

This is a precious A-level sealed item... Du Wei's heart shuddered, and he quickly took it with both hands.

"Also... I want to enter the mausoleum now, is there any problem?"

Gu Shen raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the cemetery.

"Of course there is no problem." Du Wei laughed.

Qingzuka Mausoleum was originally the residence of Master Qianye.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling are disciples of Master Qianye.

When other people enter the mausoleum, the safety committee has to consider one or two things, but Gu Shen and Chu Ling...the extraordinary people of the committee will naturally not stop them.

……

……

Inside the cemetery, it was dilapidated and dilapidated.

Looking at the broken patterns everywhere, Gu Shen looked a little sad.

Of course, he wasn't feeling sorry for these formations that had been damaged in the battle of gods.

But from the moment you step into the cemetery, you can't help seeing things and thinking about people.

Seeing these array patterns, Gu Shen thought of Master Qianye who taught him the art of array patterns.

The deceased is gone.

He entered the mausoleum this time to pick up the three letters left by Mr. Gu Changzhi.

The fog in the inner mausoleum dissipated in sevens and eighties.

The mysterious veil that shrouded the hill before was blown by the cold wind, and it was no longer the same.

As for those rolling hills, some of them were also destroyed in the battle of gods...

Stepping into the inner mausoleum, there is no wilderness of the four seasons, and there is no woman in a flower cat mask sitting upside down on a tree.

The walls of the inner mausoleum are empty.

The wind howled, bumping back and forth.

At the location Mr. Gu Changzhi told, Gu Shen found a pit... He dug the pit and found three buried letters. In fact, these three letters were not buried.

Twenty years ago, Gu Changzhi came to the mountain cave, and the Qingzhong Mausoleum had not yet been completed.

He placed the envelope on the stone platform.

After 20 years of wind and rain, the divine power of the wilderness spread throughout the four seasons, the stone platform fell to dust, slowly collapsed and became shorter, and finally merged into the mud... Fortunately, the divine power wiped out by fighting fire remained on the surface of the three letters.

Even if the stone platform was eroded, the three letters were not damaged in the slightest.

It's just that the surface of the letter is slightly yellowed, and three surnames are written on the corner of the envelope.

Gu, Lin, Meng.

You can clearly tell who these three letters are addressed to without opening them.

Gu Shen put away the three letters.

Then he took out the letter with "Gu" written on it.

"The first letter... to Gu Qilin, Mr. Gu."

……

……

Mr. Gu Qilin did not heal his injuries in the ward of Nagano Snow Forbidden City.

In the battle with Gu Lushen, the old man's muscles and bones were severely injured, and several ribs were broken. In addition, his heart was almost pierced by [Hazy Moon].

Even though he was seriously injured, he still insisted on returning to the Gu's clan hall.

at this time.

The night is dark.

Gu Qilin was sitting in a wheelchair and came to the courtyard. His muscular upper body was naked, and bandages were wrapped around his chest and waist and abdomen. This was not an ordinary bandage. Exudation, these bandages themselves are the top healing sealed items in the Snow Forbidden City.

The person pushing the wheelchair is Gu Shen.

He found the old man, and just as he was about to deliver Gu Changzhi's letter, the old man stopped him and let him push him to the courtyard of the Zongtang. Gu's is worthy of being the head of the five families. A large-scale rockery was built, with gurgling water reflecting the moonlight.

The old man said softly: "You first have to enjoy the scenery with me."

Gu Shen nodded and hummed lightly.

After all, this is just a rockery... The scenery of the rockery is actually nothing to appreciate.

Gu Shen saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair, leaning over slightly, staring at the waves reflected on the lake.

There is nothing here.

Just an old, haggard face.

The old man stared at the water and said softly, "You know what? These injuries are nothing. I suffered worse injuries 60 years ago."

"In the battle of the Nanti fortress in Beizhou, a shell hit half of my body...and it just exploded."

Gu Qilin said calmly: "I was seriously injured and fell into a coma. At the moment of the explosion, I thought my life was over like this. Even if I survived, only half of it was left... I slept for three days and three nights , After waking up, I heard the doctor's report that apart from extensive burns, only a dozen or so bones were broken."

That's all...?
Gu Shen looked a little exciting.

With injuries of this level, most extraordinary people will die directly... a small number, [undead] like Song Ci, will also suffer severe injuries, and the most painful injuries from burns, even if they are talented enough to heal, they still need to suffer Going through the long recovery period, every minute and every second is a kind of torture.

I have to admit that the young Gu Qilin has a terrifying body repair ability.

"I was discharged from the hospital in half a month."

Gu Qilin smiled and asked: "I'm in good health, right... The war hit Fallen Silver City, and my mother rushed to the front line excitedly, and then got shot again. This time it was even more unlucky than last time. I almost fell to the ground, and I lay in bed for a full month."

Gu Shen was completely silent after listening.

He seriously suspected that the old man's ability was not "infinite scale", but "immortal".

"A month later, I rushed to the battlefield again."

Gu Qilin said quietly: "That's it... I don't know how many shells I have suffered, I don't know how many shuttle bullets I have carried, all the way to the end of the Beizhou Imperial Power War, the new emperor and I have become very good friends, it's a pity that he His life was not very good, he died too early, I was still burning paper for him not long ago."

talking and talking.

"When I was burning the paper, I still laughed at this guy. I have already seen that his body is not strong enough and he won't live long."

His voice was a little hoarse, "It's just ironic... Soon, it should be your and Nanfeng's turn to burn paper for me."

In the swaying mirror of the lake, the old man stretched out his hand and touched his cheek.

He is no longer young.

This body, which could resist shells in its heyday, has also aged.

"Gu Lushen... What a bastard." Gu Qilin coughed, and said darkly, "If I were ten years younger... I would definitely skin this kid."

After finishing speaking, he paused silently for a while, and said with a lonely smile: "Perhaps ten years old is not enough..."

Gu Qilin couldn't bear to look at the aging self in the mirror on the lake.

The tide of the times pushed him to the peak.

Also pushed him to the bottom.

This is an irresistible force, no one can resist it.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, leaned on the wheelchair, and straightened his back.

"I always thought that apart from fighting, I had only one strength left, and that was my good eyesight on people."

Gu Qilin looked at Gu Shen and said with a smile, "I've taken a fancy to you, I've taken a fancy to Gu Nanfeng, I've taken a liking to Gu Changzhi...you will all become great people."

"But I also like Gu Lushen."

Form a new faction.

Overthrow Nagano.

Gu Lushen has indeed done many things that ordinary people cannot do.

He stood on the top of Nagano, and became one of the top figures among the three and five families.

However, all this went against Gu Qilin's vision.

Moreover, run in the opposite direction.

"I even thought about... handing over the Gu family to him."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply sunken. He lit a cigar, exhaled a big puff of smoke lightly, and said with a smile, "It's really...a stupid act."

These words.

He can't tell other people.

Only Gu Shen.

And Gu Shen is very patient, he has been quietly listening to the old man's worries that he has nowhere to say, but his fingers are on the inside of the skirt, touching the letter, ready to take it out at any time.

"Take your things out."

After smoking a cigar, old man Gu said quietly, "I guess Gu Changzhi left it for me."

(PS: This volume is coming to an end. Regarding the follow-up trivial matters of the cemetery, I still have to explain it carefully. It may be relatively dull, so I will write it into a big chapter.)
