Light Barrier

Chapter 339

This time the black flower cleanup was a little easier than last time.

Just as Gu Shen expected.

As Blazing Fire "grows", he will have an increasingly larger "source quality reserve" and an increasingly faster "eating speed".

Another dark stone wall was swept clean.

Gu Shen checked the last stone wall... A week ago, there were black flowers everywhere. After being swallowed by the "blazing fire", these black flowers no longer grew, but spread around the clean stone wall.

Places cleared by blazing fire will not generate "black spots" again.

this is a good news.

If he eats those black spots, they will grow again soon... At the rate at which the entire shrine mountain is growing, all that he has done may really be just a drop in the bucket.

The current cleaning speed is still extremely slow.

But at least... there is the possibility of clearing the theory.

These black flowers, so numerous...could they have a root?

If the root cause can be found and eliminated...will the crisis in Shenci Mountain be solved?

Gu Shen suddenly thought of the story that Mr. Gu Changzhi once picked a black flower on the top of the temple.

He pointed to the mountains in the distance.

"Can I go up and take a look?"

Li Qingci understood what Gu Shen was thinking.

She said softly: "Yes. It's just that... the top of the mountain is very dangerous. It's full of 'flowers of broken order'. If you want to reach the top, you need to be extremely careful, and there is nothing you want to find on the top of the mountain."

"What am I looking for?"

"You want to find the source of the broken order. You think there may be a 'original flower' in the temple mountain."

Li Qingci said: "Someone has done this a long time ago... Over the years, black flowers have spread all over the mountain, not because the guardians gave up the fight and waited for death, but because we were unable to remove the black spots, so we could only guide their growth. If there is a so-called 'original flower', and if it is cut off, it can cut off the black flowers all over the mountain, then it would have been found long ago."

Gu Shen nodded.

indeed.

If there really is a so-called "original flower", Mr. Gu Changzhi should also pull it out.

"No matter what... I still want to take a look."

Gu Shen picked up the 【Lantern】 again and said softly: "Please ask Celadon Girl to lead the way."

So far, he has only "met" Li Qingci.

Across the far mountain wall.

During this period, there was flowing mist, gloomy shadow, and dim candlelight.

The distance between the two is not really close enough to see their faces...

Li Qingci put down the wooden pot for watering the flowers.

She slowly picked up a 【lantern】 and gave serious instructions.

"If Mr. Gu wants to climb the mountain, please follow Celadon, ten steps away, and don't get too close."

Gu Shen was startled.

"Li's protector, because he uses the 'Prayer Technique' all year round to exchange luck for wishes...there are some ominous curses wrapped around his body." Li Qingci said in a low voice, "You can understand it as 'ominous' man of'."

If you get something, give it away.

That's fair enough.

Without any effort, just praying, you can make your "wishes" come true and make certain impossible things really happen and happen. The only one who can carry this kind of "lucky" is the rumored Son of Destiny.

And those who forcefully use this power to add luck to their family will surely suffer the backlash of fate.

But the "ominous person" in Li Qingci's words suddenly reminded Gu Shen of another guy.

Tomb ghost.

Xing Yun.

He followed Li Qingci, keeping a distance of ten steps, neither too far nor too close.

The two began to climb towards the top of Shenci Mountain.

"Celadon girl, do you have to go up and down the mountain every day?" Gu Shen randomly picked a question and got close to it.

"It is the duty of the guardian."

Li Qingci's already slender figure looked swaying and blurry under the light of the 【Lantern】.

Like a shadow that could break away at any time.

If you saw it in another place, you might be mistaken for a "female ghost".

He was born this way!

Such an existence is completely inconsistent with Gu Shen's cognitive rules.

"There are always problems that cannot be understood in this world, not because you are not smart enough, but because... the time has not come yet." Li Qingci continued to move forward with the lantern. She climbed the steps slowly, her steps were light, like a ray of swimming. soul.

Another light word fell heavily into Gu Shen's heart.

"It's like those people outside can't understand Mr. Gu's power."

Gu Shen felt that this sentence meant something else.

He said seriously: "Please make it clear."

"I heard Qingsui tell the story of Mr. Xiao Gu's first day in Nagano."

Li Qingci sighed with emotion, then spoke after careful consideration, "Please forgive me for using the word story... because many years from now, people will commemorate this day. I heard that when you meditated on the Grain Rain Volume, you triggered a black spiritual glow. ?”

Black spiritual glow!

This is a “vision” that no one understands!

Even Gu Shen didn't figure it out...why the spiritual glow caused by the white sleeves was white, but he was black? He could only attribute the birth of this vision to the uniqueness of his spiritual wilderness practice.

Gu Shen did not follow the path of enlightenment left by Mr. Guo Changzhi to operate the Guyu Scroll.

So...he created his own 【new world】.

Therefore... the color of the spiritual glow also changed.

However, this explanation obviously did not satisfy Gu Shen.

He asked sincerely: "Celadon girl, did you use the prayer technique... to see something?"

"I still remember the last time we met, I said..."

"I spent ten years in exchange for this meeting."

Li Qingci smiled, her voice sounding like she was talking in her sleep.

"I made a wish to meet the person who has the ability to save the 'Shrine Mountain'."

"The wishing spell took away the ten years of life that were on the scale, and after that, I had a dream."

"I dreamed that I came to a huge boundless wilderness, where golden spikes of flowers bloomed, huge rivers flowed, and ships docked..."

Li Qingci smiled and said, "It's a pure land there."

Gu Shen was startled.

"The Golden Spike Flowers blooming in the Pure Land are exactly the same as the 'Flowers of Destruction of Order' in the Shenci Mountain, but the color is golden, cold and dazzling. The whole world is in this strange feeling. .”

"There is no black and white here, but there is an intermediate state between black and white."

"Some people feel... like they are dead, but at the same time they feel that they are actually still alive."

Li Qingci said softly: "I kept walking on that pure land, and I saw the figures of 'living people', but they were blurry, and they didn't see me... I just walked to the other side of the river. Someone. Invite me on board.”

"The man told me... I was dead."

"Then he said to me...death, maybe also rebirth."

Speaking of this, Li Qingci stopped.

There is no way forward.

The two of them have arrived at the top of the temple.

The black flowers all over the mountain swayed in the wind, blooming with the breath of death.

But something unexpected happened.

The top of Shenci Mountain is not as depressing as imagined.

Countless black flowers are entwined here, and the density of black spots is hundreds of times that of the mountainside. It should be shrouded in an atmosphere of destruction and desolation.

But a simple wooden house was built on the top of the mountain, with a foundation half a person's height. It was quite solid... I don't know what material it was made of, but it was still strong in such an environment and did not collapse. If you look carefully, you will find that these foundations are covered with talismans, with strange and obscure ancient texts written on them. Perhaps those ancient texts have played a role. The black flowers around the ancient house only grow on the outer layer of the foundation and have no real meaning. Wrap up.

A small house.

An ancient well.

A... neatly trimmed, huge square flowerbed, filled with the most terrifying flowers in the world.

"This dream sounds interesting."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the end?"

"Mr. Xiao Gu... let me state in advance that this is just a dream I had and it has no meaning."

Li Qingci comforted her.

"at last......"

She said slowly: "The person I saw... is you."
