Bulwark of Light

Chapter 634 Gifts
Xiang Chen stood outside the study building with a complicated expression on his face.

The "mental control" he suffered was lifted by Gu Shen when he was in the main hall, and the phrase "the more fanatical, the easier it is to make mistakes" directly woke him up.

And Gu Shen's "dream" also began to unfold at that time.

In fact, what Xiangchen did afterwards was very simple——

That is to stay outside the library, waiting for Gu Shen to solve the trouble.

So he just stood outside the door, looking at his disciples, like marionettes, and Gu Shen entered the "study building" that blocked the signal.

The feeling of watching this scene happen is very subtle.

Perhaps before the "mind control" was lifted, Gu Shen saw himself the same way... in a dream but didn't know it.

"Mr. Gu, thank you for your shot."

Xiang Chen said hoarsely: "Without you, I don't know how long I would be kept in the dark..."

"polite."

Gu Shen smiled slightly.

Xian Chen entered the library.

At first glance, I saw Li Bing who was "nailed" to the wall of the book.

This student... this student I was proud of!
Xiangchen's eyes were full of pain, helplessness, self-blame... mixed feelings, and finally all these emotions dissipated, leaving only a little sadness.

In the duel just now, Gu Shen didn't completely block him out.

Standing at the door of the library, he heard most of the conversations inside.

If it wasn't for Mr. Gu's superior skills to start the dream ahead of time... He is already dead today, and he doesn't understand what the Bright City promised to make Li Bing so willing to sacrifice his life for it?
"I didn't kill him directly."

Gu Shendao: "But I erased his 'loyalty' to Guangming City, and when he wakes up, he will become a 'Dark Child'."

He didn't completely block the conversation in the library.

But some important content, of course, cannot be disclosed, such as the matter of his "three times beyond the realm".

It's just... Gu Shen is not going to hide the matter of "brainwashing" Li Bing.

"Your choice is correct..."

Xiang Chen took a deep breath and said, "Killing him may not be good."

Li Bing is a pawn buried in Guangming City.

Sometimes, it is not necessarily the best to find a chess piece and remove it immediately.

It is also a good choice to be silent and use it for your own use.

It is not easy to train a Dongning City garrison. For Beizhou, killing Li Bing will only arouse the vigilance of Guangming City.

"This matter is no small matter. I have already reported it to the attic outside the library just now."

Grand Duke Xiangchen took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Gu, this 'spiritual seed' you planted..."

"It's okay."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "I don't want to get involved in this mess. Even if you don't report it, I will tell Zhu Xue to deal with it. The infiltration of the military by the Holy Inquisitor is your private matter in Beizhou. How to deal with it is also a headache for you. When Her Majesty sends someone here, I will transfer the control of the 'spiritual seed'."

Hearing this, Grand Duke Xiangchen heaved a sigh of relief.

He was still worried about how to talk to Gu Shen... Now it seems that this little Mr. Gu is a person who "knows the general".

"Zhuxue will send someone over soon."

Xiang Chen hastily extended his hand to invite Gu Shen, saying: "While waiting, please allow me to introduce...the 'ancient texts' I have collected."

……

……

about an hour.

Outside the dusty manor, an airship sailed.

Grand Duke Zhuxue arrived in person.

Because of Xiang Chen's report, he deliberately took several strong men to set off, and those manor servants who received Xiang Chen's order opened the gate early, waiting for Zhu Xue's arrival.

All the way to the study building.

"Lord Xiangchen! Little Mr. Gu!"

Before people arrive, the sound comes out first.

However, Zhu Xue didn't expect that after entering the door, he would see a very warm scene.

Soft light fell, and the library was peaceful.

Grand Duke Xiang Chen and Gu Shen were sitting in front of the desk, talking happily.

There are stacks of ancient characters on the table.

Before casting snow and pushing the door——

"Mr. Gu's talent...is astonishing. It can be said that it is hard to find in a hundred years. The number of 'ancient texts' in the Qingzhong Cemetery is so complicated. Even if I resign from all official duties and meditate quietly, I am afraid it will take ten years to understand it."

The two sat and discussed, talking leisurely.

After talking for a while, Xiang Chen became more and more pleasing to Gu Shen.

He learned that the young man in front of him only spent a little over a year comprehending the ancient texts in the cemetery!
What is this concept?
To describe it as extraordinary talent is an insult to Gu Shen.

In Wuzhou, for so many years, countless geniuses have tried to comprehend "ancient prose"... It's a pity that extraordinary practice and comprehension of ancient prose are completely two paths. Even a genius rated as "S-level" can learn ancient prose quickly. It may not be faster than ordinary people.

In the past, the most gifted learner of ancient prose that Xianchen had ever met was actually Master Qianye.

only……

Qianye is not from Wuzhou.

In fact, he knew this secret. When Qianye was brought back by Gu Changzhi, he happened to travel here too. The first "ancient prose" was learned by Professor Xiangchen... It didn't take long for the two of them to figure it out together , Qianye's learning speed is getting faster and faster, as if she has a natural ability to understand "ancient Chinese".

And Xianchen was surpassed very quickly, on this point, he could only sigh in awe.

"Your Majesty is very polite."

Gu Shen had no choice but to smile.

He never felt how fast he was learning ancient prose.

One is because Gu Shen's practice is basically alone, there is no comparison...

Second, it was because he had seen a real "monster".

Chu Ling!

It took Chu Ling only a few hours to comprehend the ancient texts in the entire Qingzhong Mausoleum... maybe even shorter!
Gu Shen didn't dare to take the initiative to tell Xiang Chen this news, for fear that the Grand Duke's mentality would be out of balance.

"As expected of Chino's favorite disciple."

Xian Chen said with emotion: "Her vision has always been better than mine... Speaking of which, she also took in a second student. According to outside rumors, it seems to be a woman?"

"good."

Gu Shen nodded.

Chu Ling's news was well covered up with the help of Baishu Divine Throne.

So far, no one in Nagano has doubts about the identity of the "Tomb Keeper" in the cemetery...

"What kind of woman is that, to become a 'Tomb Keeper', could it be that her talent for ancient prose is better than that of you, Xiao Gu?"

Xiangchen let out a long sigh, and said: "If I have a chance to go to Dongzhou again, I must visit."

Chu Ling's talent in ancient prose is indeed better than her own...and more than a few, Gu Shen also sighed deeply.

Xiang Chen murmured: "Now that Baishen Zuo is in charge of the cemetery, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to enter the mausoleum..."

Gu Shen quickly smiled and said: "If the Grand Duke is leaving, please be sure to tell me that Gu will sweep the couch to welcome you at any time."

Don't say anything else.

He can still arrange the matter of entering the mausoleum.

Hearing this, Xiang Chen was slightly taken aback, and the original gloomy mood was swept away.

He smiled and said, "I'm just talking. I've heard a little bit about what happened in Nagano... You two live a good life, and I will send you a congratulatory gift when you are happy."

Gu Shen: "???"

"These ancient scripts...you can take them away."

Xiangchen pushed out the ancient writing array on the table, and said sincerely: "The 'ancient writing' recorded on these special materials is related to those ancient writings with array patterns in Qingzhong Mausoleum. You can take it back and slowly learn about it."

Gu Shen looked at the talisman on the table, although he was tempted, he didn't accept it directly.

"It's not a burden, it's 'the best use of everything'."

Xiangchen smiled and pushed forward, saying: "Originally, these 'ancient script talismans' will be handed over to you today... You may not believe it, but when I see you, I always think of some old people .”

"... old friend?"

Gu Shen didn't dare to ask more, but just repeated these two words lightly with some doubts.

Grand Duke Xiangchen is very old.

He has lived in the cabinet for a long time and likes to study "ancient prose".

These two clues are connected together...it can't help but make people imagine...

"Many years ago, there was a guy who, just like you, was exceptionally talented in the field of 'ancient prose research'..." A look of nostalgia appeared on Xiangchen's face, and he chuckled softly: "I think back then, when I worked with him Traveling around the five continents..."

Having said that, it stops abruptly.

Hearing this, Gu Shen felt complicated and hesitated to speak.

Where did he not know that what Xiangchen said at this moment was Mr. Turing?
It will take another week for Chu Ling's "list statistics" to come out.

Could it be that Grand Duke Xiangchen is also... a remnant of evil?
Although I hate to use that word.

But if Xiang Chen is really a member of the Ancient Chinese Language Society, then there is no more suitable adjective than Remnant Siege.

"It's a pity that this guy died too early."

The sadness in Xian Chen's eyes was very intense.

He smiled sarcastically and desolately, and said: "Until now, I don't want to believe... this guy who single-handedly pushed the world into a 'new era' would leave so suddenly."

Do not……

He is not a member of the Ancient Chinese Society.

Xiangchen's own extraordinary cultivation level is low, and Gu Shen can sense that his spirit is abnormal.

This kind of sadness is not faked.

The "remnants" of the Ancient Chinese Society know the real inside story of the Parliament's persecution of Alan Turing.

"Condolences."

Gu Shen's expression softened, no matter whether Xiang Chen was a member of the Ancient Literature Society or not, he had to cooperate with the acting at this moment.

"Don't mention it."

Xiangchen took a light breath, pushed out the pile of ancient script talismans, and said solemnly: "In short...you accept this thing, if you can comprehend something, you might as well tell me."

"Gu... Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Gu Shen is no longer polite.

He accepted the ancient text, and at this moment, the wooden door outside the study building was pushed open.

Someone pretended to be polite and knocked twice.

"Feel sorry--"

Zhu Xue looked around the scene in the library, the books were intact, a big living person who had passed out, and a pair of "forgetful friends" who were having a good time talking, it seemed that everything was under control.

He raised his eyebrows, smiled and said: "It seems that Lin came at the wrong time, and interrupted the long conversation between the two of you."
