Bulwark of Light

Chapter 1003 Bright Invitation ([-]rd update!)

"Open the Forbidden Library to everyone..."

The old man's gaze became deep.

"If the answers in the taboo library can only be seen by 'fated people', then the blocking and prohibition in Guangming City is actually meaningless."

Meng Xizhou said: "I hope that everyone in the world can see the miracle left by this 'God of Destiny'."

Everything is in cause and effect.

Those who can see, those who should see, will naturally meet.

If you can't see it, you shouldn't see it, you don't know anything.

"It's a big ambition."

The old man said softly: "But the miracles of the God of Destiny are always reserved for a few people. Even if I undo the restriction and open this taboo library to the outside world... only a very small number of people will be able to gain something. I I cannot agree to your request, because it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources of Guangming City."

Meng Xizhou continued: "Then what if... it is open to a 'very small number' of people?"

The old man smiled.

"So your request was considered for the 'very few people' from the very beginning."

He thought for a while and asked, "If I agree, who do you want to enter the Forbidden Book Building?"

"My previous request was serious. It would be a great wish and a great blessing if the library could be opened up for the people of the world to see." Meng Xizhou said slowly, "but I also know that Guangming City is exhausted now. For strength, there is only a dry lamp left, and the radiance that can be emitted is limited. I hope that the restriction of the library can be put on hold for the time being, so that people with lofty ideals and virtues can pick up the fruits of wisdom left by fate."

She said seriously: "I hope that Gu Shen and Gu Nanfeng can enter the Forbidden Book Building. If only these very few people can get the guidance of fate...then there is a high probability that the two of them are the so-called 'very few'."

She stared at the light.

This look is very firm.

The old man said: "If I refuse, you will definitely make this request again until I agree."

Meng Xizhou said: "Yes. Although this is very rude, this is my last insistence."

"I can promise you."

The old man said gently: "Since it is a gift left by the God of Destiny, whether it is locked in the library or not, it will be seen by those who should see it sooner or later."

Meng Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"As a condition for agreeing to your request, I hope you will do one thing for me."

The old man raised his head and looked in the direction Meng Xizhou came from.

……

……

After the goddess stepped on the lake and left, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Among them, the most anxious one is Batu, the third elder of the temple.

Batu paced back and forth by the lake, restless.

He wasn't just waiting for Meng Xizhou.

Both the Great Elder and Song Ci were on the other side of the lake... He wanted to know what was going on with the Great Elder. No matter what happened, how could there be no news from the Red Lake?
On the other side, Gu Shen was very calm.

The most important thing he has to do tonight has been done.

But he was also curious.

What he was curious about was, what is the situation in Bright City today? The sky is about to be pierced, but the God of Light hasn't shown up yet?
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the mist in the center of the Red Lake dispersed, and Song Ci came back alone.

"Song Ci...you are finally back!"

Batu rushed up to meet him. He was very anxious, but after thinking about it, he could only insinuate and ask, "Did you...don't see anyone else?"

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

Song Ci knew what the three elders wanted to ask.

He said lightly, "I saw Miss Meng."

The third elder was startled, and then said again: "What else?"

"Nothing."

Song Ci grinned, he wouldn't say what happened in the mist of the Red Lake so easily.

Batu didn't get the answer he wanted, so he hurriedly asked, "You didn't see the Great Elder? Then how did your trial end?"

"Sorry, I voluntarily gave up the trial."

Song Ci said indifferently: "I'm not interested in the bright fire, so I only left halfway and then came back. I can swear the truth of these two sentences in the name of Huaqi."

"The name of the banner?"

This was the first time Batu heard someone swear by this thing.

His face was flushed red and he felt aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything more.

After receiving this reply, he felt very uneasy, and already had a rather ominous premonition.

A thought popped up in Batu's heart.

The Great Elder... will not encounter any accidents, will he?

He knew that Song Ci's strength was very strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was Honghu after all. Could it be possible for the Lord God to see something happen to the Great Elder?

Soon.

In the mist of the Red Lake, a second figure walked out.

Still not a Great Elder.

It's Meng Xizhou.

"Master Goddess, have you seen the Great Elder..."

Batu still walked quickly to greet him, but this time he was interrupted by Meng Xizhou just as he opened his mouth.

"I saw it."

Meng Xizhou glanced at Batu and said coldly, "He is dead."

"???"

If Batu was struck by lightning, he froze in place.

The next moment, Meng Xizhou's voice echoed over the Red Lake.

"The great elder of the temple, Gao Yan, seriously violated the law of light, stole the blood of the [undead], murdered the lives of innocent people, caused chaos in Xizhou, and shaken the faith! This is an unforgivable crime, and the lord of the throne has punished it!"

The woman's brilliant voice is like thunder.

This news was so shocking that the entire temple was in an uproar. Those holy inquisitors who had obeyed the orders of the Great Elder all the year round could not believe it at all.

If it is not the person who speaks, it is the goddess of the temple.

If it were another person, he would probably be taken down on the spot as a rumor and slanderer.

"The evidence is at the bottom of the mind-washing pool!"

Meng Xizhou reached out to attract.

boom!
Countless lights extended from the mist of the Red Lake.

I saw the water in the Xixin Pond not far from the Red Lake suddenly exploded, and those "undead bodies" buried at the bottom of the Xixin Pond were pulled out by the glow of the sky... Along with these bodies, there were also The calamity and ominousness that had been hidden so deeply should have dissipated after Gao Cheng's death, but because of the suppression of the Xixin Pond array pattern, the speed of dissipating these disasters was very slow.

Now I see the light.

These undead who died in vain, quickly emerged, and quickly dissipated together with those disasters!They ushered in their own rest!

"The corpse in the heart washing pool, what's going on?"

"No wonder someone felt the disaster in the heart washing pool..."

"These corpses were all buried by Gao Yan?!"

Among the onlookers, voices of emotion erupted again.

They really didn't expect that the "hustle and bustle" tonight would be so exciting, with ups and downs and another ups and downs. Under this seemingly peaceful city of light, there was a turbulent undercurrent that never stopped for a moment.

Looking at these corpses, Batu's complexion suddenly turned three points pale.

He didn't even know about the heart washing pool!

The Great Elder actually did such a nasty thing?

Now these evidences are in front of him... There is no room for him not to believe it, let alone excuse him!
If the Great Elder committed such a crime, if he dared to stand on the same side, wouldn't he be punished next time?
Batu sighed softly, lowered his head silently, and said no more.

He knew that no matter what happened next to the Red Lake tonight, it had nothing to do with him.

With Meng Xizhou waving his hand earlier, the Red Lake swept out a large amount of light. The quantity and essence of those lights are beyond Meng Xizhou's grasp...Obviously, Lord God is still alive, and with another One way to meet sentient beings, at this moment under the reflection of the [deep sea], every bystander can see the glow gathered above Meng Xizhou's head.

Although the God of Light did not show up.

But these glows... are equivalent to his appearance.

"Lord God has been paying attention to the undercurrent of Guangming City, but because of his serious illness, it is inconvenient for him to appear in a weak body."

Meng Xizhou bowed to everyone by the Red Lake, "Now, on the last day of the Holy Ceremony, all the remnants of the rebellious party will be wiped out... You all gathered in the temple today to witness this turmoil that is difficult to get on the stage, The filth of Xinxin Pool really made everyone laugh."

The crowd groaned.

Even the Holy Inquisitors expressed emotion.

turmoil……

None of them noticed the slightest turmoil.

Tonight seems to be the same as every night before, except that there is no new sun rising after sunset...

After calming down, Meng Xizhou saluted again, but this time she was not facing the crowd by the Red Lake, but alone.

Gu Shen.

Meng Xizhou said softly: "Mr. Gu, about Jia Wei's assassination... Lord God is deeply sorry. He didn't know that such a thing happened in Sangzhou Grotto back then."

Shit!

Gu Shen's expression didn't fluctuate, but he wouldn't believe such nonsense.

After Jia Wei assassinated himself, he returned to Xizhou to be appointed as an official and noble, and countless titles were rewarded, all the way to the top.

What [Barrier], what [Xizhou Shield], what [Red Lake Guardian]...

The assassination in Sangzhou Grottoes, can the God of Light not know about it?
"No problem."

Gu Shen smiled, and said: "Who hasn't had time to look away? The grievances of six years ago have been settled tonight... Gu is already grateful that Lord God didn't intervene."

"Apologies."

Meng Xizhou hesitated for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Master Shen Zuo would like to invite you to sit at the end of the other side of the Red Lake."

As soon as this remark came out, the Red Lake became noisy again.

Not all of them have the eyesight like Batu, who can see what the aura summoned by Mengxizhou means.

The Red Lake was blocked by thick fog. Today, there was such a major change, and the God Throne didn't show up. Maybe he was really seriously ill?
It's just that so far, none of them have seen the God of Light...

You can't tell if something is true without seeing it with your own eyes.

But at this moment, Meng Xizhou brought an invitation from the other side of the Red Lake——

At this moment, the spectators by the Red Lake all recognized one person from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Shen!

Gu Shen looked back slightly, and saw the many eyes on him, Dongzhou, Beizhou, the Gu family mission, and those night watchmen scattered everywhere.

Of course, there are many casual cultivators whose names and backgrounds he cannot tell.

And those transcendents who are not at the scene of the Red Lake, but are watching this place through the [deep sea].

Everyone wants to know the "current situation" of the God of Light.

If they can't see the light, but Gu Shen can see it.

It can be regarded as ending the "wish" of these people tonight from the side.

"Since Lord God wants to see me..."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Then let Miss Meng lead the way."
