Light Barrier

Chapter 759

The formation patterns on the top of the temple slowly dissipated.

Flowing clouds linger.

The two sisters have finished talking... Li Qingci stood in front of the waterfall with a calm expression, looking at the temple landscape in front of her that looked like an ink painting, while Li Qingsui was sitting in the flower garden, leaning on her back, obviously still sulking.

Gu Shen climbed to the top of the mountain and saw this scene and said: "Celadon girl, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry to me..."

Li Qingci lowered her eyes and smiled, and said: "Celadon is going to talk about this matter. It will be the same today or tomorrow..."

"Sister, there is no such thing as today and tomorrow. If Gu Shen doesn't tell, how long are you going to keep it a secret?"

Qingsui, who was carrying his back, raised his voice and said aggrievedly: "You never thought of telling me!"

Li Qingci could only remain silent.

"The surname is Gu..."

Qingsui's shoulders trembled slightly, but she resisted turning around and said in a hoarse voice: "You sent a message to me earlier and told me that there is a way, but you said... Is there any way?!"

"The art of immortality."

Without waiting for Gu Shen to speak.

Li Qingci turned around and looked at her sister: "Mr. Xiao Gu... gave me a choice a long time ago. He has some drawings of the longevity technique. If I want to live, I can practice this forbidden technique."

Immortality? !

Li Qingsui was stunned. She turned around suddenly, with tears in her eyes, and wiped her cheek hard.

"yes."

Gu Shen slowly came to the table at the top of the temple. He took out the drawings from his arms, placed them on the table, and pressed them gently with a thick book.

He said calmly: "The 'wedge' of the longevity technique has been dismantled."

He put those words at the bottom of the mountain.

I told Li Qingsui again... the effects of the Immortality Technique, and the price.

Li Qingsui sat blankly in the flower garden, the cold wind blowing her messy hair. She is the head of the Li family, but she is too young, and her hands are not stained with much blood yet...

I want to become a person like "Lee Qihu".

She still needed many more years.

Now the Immortality Technique is right in front of you——

The "bloody" and "cruel" price has become an issue that cannot be ignored.

In fact, for many people, these costs are nothing at all.

If a hero like "Gu Lushen" were to make the decision, he wouldn't even hesitate for a second. He would sacrifice others to fulfill himself. As long as he was ruthless enough, he could achieve all the benefits without any harm. What's there to hesitate about?

But Li Qingsui is just a sixteen-year-old girl.

She grew up in an environment where she was cared for by her elders and loved by everyone. Although she was a bit naughty, her heart was kind.

"Is there such a kind of evil magic in this world..."

Li Qingsui was greatly shocked.

"have."

Gu Shen said: "Everything in this world has to pay a price. I need to make it clear to you... Even if one-twentieth of the life is transformed, there is a price to pay. The caster needs to accept the soul of the sacrificer. ', the longer you live, the greater the memory in your soul."

"So...if the 'immortality spell' is used, my sister's soul will also become turbid..."

Li Qingsui's reaction speed was very fast.

She murmured: "What if it's... a baby sacrifice?"

"..."

Gu Shen was silent.

"Qingsui!"

A cold voice sounded in the flower garden. Li Qingci, who had been quietly watching the waterfall, now lost all the smiles on his face.

She quickly came to her sister and squatted down.

The two looked at each other.

Li Qingsui knew that she had said the wrong thing and looked a little flustered. She quickly lowered her head and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves.

"Sister...I don't want you to die..."

Li Qingci looked at the haggard face.

She wiped her sister's tears with her fingertips.

"Mr. Xiao Gu."@@@@

While wiping, Li Qingci said softly: "Actually, I'm very grateful to you for telling her this matter... Otherwise, I don't know when I would be able to tell her..."

Gu Shen just stood in front of the table and said nothing.

"It's just, this is my life."

Li Qingci smiled and said: "You are worried about me, you are thinking about me...I can understand it. I should be the one who finally decides whether I want to live or how I want to live, right?"

"Mr. Xiao Gu, of course I want to live."

She sat back on the wicker chair on the top of the mountain. Behind her was the dry well where Chu Ling's divine fetus was stored. The wicker chair swayed in the wind. She was like a dead tree. She was quiet and peaceful: "Who in this world doesn't want to live longer? It's only been two years, but 'living' is more than just opening my eyes and breathing. I hope I can realize my own value and understand the meaning of all my efforts. To put it more selfishly, I live for 'myself', a lot. I didn’t have a choice in the matter, but at least in this matter, I had the power to make my own choice.”

Li Qingci looked at Gu Shen.

She rarely spoke at such long lengths.

After becoming a protector, she was willing to become the shadow behind Mr. Li. From then on, she worked so hard, walking on the mountain roads of the shrine, pruning black flowers, practicing and praying.

A long time ago, she wanted to say something, but no one listened.

later.

Someone was willing to listen, but she no longer wanted to say it.

"From the first day my father brought me here, I knew... I couldn't leave."

"The only good thing is that if I stay here, Qingsui can enjoy the sunshine outside. At least my 'payment'... is valuable and meaningful."

Her voice was as calm as the stagnant water in the dry well behind her that had not fluctuated for decades: "I know the fate of every generation of guardians in Shenci Mountain. None of them survived past thirty, and I most likely can't either, but I want to live... Not only do I want to live, I also want to break through the fog in this Black Mountain and let the sunshine from outside shine in."

"So when my father taught me how to exchange with the 'Scale of Destiny'."

"What I'm thinking about in my heart is not only how to make the Li family better, but also how to make the shrine better..."

"More importantly...if I am willing to pay a sufficient price, can this scale also show me the direction?"

Li Qingci smiled softly.

She was sitting under the eaves of the ancient house of the temple. Part of the clouds on the top of the mountain had dispersed, so half of her white clothes were illuminated by the faint soft light, while the other half was soaked in the ink-like shadow.

All the time.

Many people in the Li family felt that this soft and weak protector was a fragile white flower that would break at the touch of a touch.

But actually.

Li Qingci lives in Shenci Mountain, and she gets along with countless flowers of broken order every day.

How could such a person be fragile?

"If you want to hear a 'true' story, it goes something like this-"

Li Qingci said frankly: "A little girl who looked innocent, but was not naive, came to Shenci Mountain and tried her best to survive. Fortunately, the scales of fate gave her a clear guide... a lot Years later, she followed the guidance of Libra and did everything. Now that she is dying, she does not want to live by the 'immortality spell'. She wants to give it a try and live by the guidance of Libra..."

Gu Shen looked at this pale and helpless face.

"Did this story disappoint you?"

Li Qingci asked with a smile: "The reason why I did this is because I think... I should be able to 'live' without the longevity technique. This is what I want to say to you, no one knows who I really am." It looks like I’m actually not a good person.”

"There is no standard in this world that can define good or bad."

Gu Shen got a satisfactory answer.

He asked: "So you want to find me because the scale of the wishing technique pointed at me back then. You spent ten years meeting me... not only for the sake of the temple, Li family, but also for yourself."

"Yes...that's what I wanted to say that day."

Li Qingci revealed the last secret in her heart, and she felt much calmer. She smiled and asked, "Now...I've finished speaking. You must look down on me, right?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

"No, you're not done yet."

Li Qingci was startled.

"The wishing spell must have given you a dream. I still remember you mentioned that dream. Now you can tell me what you saw in that dream."

The woman on the wicker chair was lost in thought.

She whispered softly, as if she had returned to that old dream.

"I saw......"

"The huge boundless wilderness is full of golden spike flowers, and a river runs through it in the distance, reflecting the shadow of the sails..."

"In the center of the world, stands a majestic ancient tree that supports the sky..."

Li Qingci showed a dazed smile: "It is a pure land there."

"The scene you dreamed about..."

The next moment, Gu Shen asked calmly: "Is that so?"

He lights the fire.

The next moment, flames filled the air and enveloped the temple mountain.

The scene around the two people changed rapidly, with countless flames and ice chips flying.

Li Qingci sat on the wicker chair, lost in thought.

She stretched out her hand in a daze, stroking the long flowing leaves hanging in front of her, and looked up. She was now leaning next to the towering ancient tree that supported the sky.

The wind was blowing.

Thousands of miles of snow is falling, and the golden spikes of flowers sown in the wheat fields in the distance are flying together.

"look."

Someone beside her whispered: "This is the Pure Land."
