Bulwark of Light

Chapter 969 Immortal Blood
In the long afternoon, the breeze blows across Xihaidu.

"Xiao Wu, Yao Jin has already returned to the city, this operation—"

Mu Xin spoke in a heavy voice, and at the same time pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Mu Xin stared blankly at the scene in the yard.

The tree shadow shattered and landed on Wu Tuo.

The potted green leaves are swaying, and the sea breeze brings coolness... It is very clean here, in every sense of the word.

no blood.

There are no traces of battle.

No breath either.

……

……

"Great Elder, I'm here to apologize."

Yao Jin sat in a wheelchair and spoke in a complicated voice through the screen.

"I already know about the Gu family mission."

At the end of the screen, there was darkness.

The sound of liquid surging can be heard vaguely.

The corners of this old-fashioned attic are full of mechanical components, and a large number of blue and silver pipes are densely arranged. Almost no one in China knows what is behind the screen.

"You lost the bet, it's normal."

After a long silence, the Great Elder said, "Many people in the temple have lost their bets, including me. One failure doesn't mean anything."

Yao Jin raised his head in surprise.

He stared at the darkness at the end of the screen, and whispered: "Gu Nanfeng made a rude request..."

He explained the details of this operation in detail.

The elder is very patient.

"You made a mistake, I apologize, it's not rude."

After listening to it, he smiled and asked, "You seem very angry because Gu Nanfeng called you a 'house dog' raised by the temple?"

Yao Jin was silent.

"Or, the reason for your anger is...the fact is true."

There was no emotion in the elder's tone.

He spoke slowly, without contempt or sarcasm: "You have been guarding the secret prison in the temple for nearly ten years. When you were young, I threw you to Xihaidu to practice with Mu Xin... After you became an adult, you have not yet Before I had time to stand under the light, I lost my legs because of a decision made by the temple. After that, I could only spend a long and dark life in this wheelchair. Gu Nanfeng called you a 'house dog', but he was right. , after all, you have been chained to Xizhou since you were born, and you have never even left your house."

"...Grand Elder, I am not angry because of this."

Yao Jin closed his eyes, his breathing was a little disordered.

He clasped his fingers silently, and said calmly: "As long as he can serve the light, no matter what price he pays, Yao Jin will not hesitate. A pair of broken legs is nothing."

He looked towards the end of the attic.

"I survived because you picked me up... If it wasn't for your cultivation, Yao Jin would have died long ago."

The man in the wheelchair lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't take what Gu Nanfeng said to heart, but I couldn't accept this 'failure'."

"You shouldn't have let Utop show up."

The Great Elder said softly: "Since we brought him back, the best way is to hide him completely...As long as Wu Tuo doesn't show up, who knows where he is?"

Yao Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I want to find out who is behind the Dongse family case."

"Does it make sense?"

The Great Elder smiled and asked: "Since you have stood in the light, it means...you are no longer a shadow. In the struggle of the 'behind the scenes', whoever stands up first will lose. Let me ask you , Who is the person behind the Dongse family case? You thought it was Gu Nanfeng... really?"

Yao Jin was silent.

Judging from the situation last night, countless clues point to the Gu family mission.

But after meeting once.

Yao Jin knew very well... the person behind the scenes that he was looking for was not Gu Nanfeng.

"This loss is actually a good thing."

The Great Elder said indifferently: "Dongzhou hopes to see you make mistakes, in fact, I also hope... Remember, since you are standing in the light, you have to deal with problems in a different way."

"I... know I was wrong."

Yao Jin had mixed feelings in his heart.

"How is Yuan Yang doing in the secret prison these days? Has there been any progress?"

The elder changed the subject.

"Perhaps... it will take a while."

Yao Jin took a deep breath, his eyes flashed a trace of indifference, and said: "It is not easy to gain the trust of the goddess, and collecting [Holy Books] is not a one-day plan, and this matter cannot be rushed."

"Too……"

"It's just that once Yuan Yang leaves, I will be in a lot of inconvenience."

The great elder sighed softly, and said, "Yao Jin, there are some things... I'm afraid I will trouble you."

Yao Jin looked solemn.

He silently gripped the back of the wheelchair, suppressed his trembling voice, and tried to remain calm: "Please tell me."

"You come in."

The old voice spoke through the screen.

Yao Jin glanced at the pitch-black threshold, and drove over slowly.

He controlled the wheelchair without pressing on the sealed pipes plated with blue silver, and entered the darkness very carefully. At the end was an alloy cast cabin, but it was in a half-open state, looking like a bathtub .

Xizhou is a great elder who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Just lying in this "bathtub".

A large amount of bright breath overflowed from the cabin, but did not leak out, because there were countless "supernatural barriers" condensed above the cabin, and these lights were compressed into a small square space.

"Big elder..."

Yao Jin's eyes were a bit complicated, and this was the first time he saw the scene deep in the attic.

The old man lying in the cabin closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, more like dead.

Those surging green and silver pipes are connected to this aging body.

The body of the Great Elder also rose and fell with the tumbling of the pipeline...

"In the past, this kind of thing was done by Yuan Yang, this time I will trouble you."

The old man lying in the life capsule, although his eyes are closed, seems to be dead.

But his voice echoed in the attic.

Yao Jin raised his head, he felt a spirit countless times stronger than himself, covering the square inch of the attic... He was very sure that as long as he made the slightest unfavorable move, the spirit of the Great Elder would be immersed In the lake of his heart, he was killed instantly.

"What am I going to do?" Yao Jin came to the side of the cabin.

"See those pipes?"

The Great Elder said gently: "What flows here...is the blood of the 'undead', one side is input, and the other is output."

Undead? !

Yao Jin knows this kind of strange physique in the legend. The initial manifestation of [Undead] is no different from ordinary people. Many of them will not even realize that they have awakened...

But as long as you go through life and death, [Undead] will transform!
Their vitality and energy are far more vigorous than other extraordinary people, and every time they are pulled back from the "death line", they will make a major breakthrough in mental and physical strength.

The temple has been looking for [undead], people with this physique from all over the five continents, as long as they appear, they will be found by the holy judge...

No one knows what the purpose of Guangming City's search for [undead] is.

But now Yao Jin knows.

The body of the Great Elder is rotten beyond words. It is said that he is the earliest follower of Lord Guangming, and he has received the most favors and is the most powerful.

In a sense.

He is the most suitable "crowd holder" for Bright Tinder.

But it's a pity that he is so old that he can barely lift a finger, let alone smelt the fire.

"This body was severely injured during the battle with Pluto..."

The Great Elder murmured: "I have been contaminated with a 'disaster' that cannot be dispelled for the rest of my life. If it hadn't been for the action of the Lord God, I would have died. If I want to survive, I need the blood of the [undead], a steady stream of blood. "

"I drain the old blood from my body."

"Then this light cabin sucks the new blood of the undead into it."

"In this way, a large amount of calamity will leave the body with the old blood...but Pluto's attack has a 'causal lock', if I don't find a new owner for the old blood, the calamity will return to my head .”

"So... the old blood will be sent into the bodies of those undead."

The Great Elder spoke slowly, "Over the years, the temple has secretly recruited more than a dozen [undead], and now they are all dead, and my life is coming to an end."

"The undead are all dead?"

Yao Jin was shocked by the secret that the elder said.

In his impression, the undead are all top geniuses, Fisher from Beizhou, Song Ci from Dongzhou, and Meng Xiao, the former son of the Blessing of Light!
Every time you die, you will become stronger!

He couldn't help asking: "These people... Did they die from the ominous omen of 'Pluto'?"

"Yes, not all."

The Great Elder said: "The undead are not as powerful as you imagined. Everything has a balance, and everything has gains and losses. Although their vitality is tenacious, it also has a limit. As long as they break through that limit, the undead will also die... They It's like a stunning epiphyllum in the dark night, but after it blooms, it will soon wither. No undead has a long life."

"and."

"Many undead... are just ordinary people for the rest of their lives."

The Great Elder said: "They don't encounter 'death', they are just ordinary people. The few undead people who gave me blood transfusion in the temple, their resistance is very weak, and they died after only a few blood transfusions back and forth. "

"..."

Yao Jin was a little distracted, he murmured: "No wonder you seldom show up outside."

"In the battle with Pluto, the Temple of Light suffered heavy losses... It is impossible for the outside world to know about this kind of thing."

The Great Elder sighed, and said, "If I die early, who will take over the temple? Could it be Yuan Yang?"

Over the years, every time he showed up, it was at a critical moment when he had to show up.

A large amount of [Undead Blood] was poured into the body.

He was able to leave the light capsule and move freely for a short period of time.

And now.

It's time for him to appear again... The Gu family mission is about to arrive in Guangming City. As the great elder of the temple, he will personally greet him and preside over the next "trial of the successor of the fire seed".
