Bulwark of Light

Chapter 339 The Dream of Wishing (Two in One)

This time the black flower cleaning was easier than last time.

Just as Gu Shen expected.

With the blazing "growth", I will have a larger and larger "source quality reserve" and a faster and faster "eating speed".

Another pitch-black stone wall was swept away.

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

Where the fire has been cleared, no "black spots" will be generated again.

this is a good news.

If I eat those black spots, it will grow again soon... With the speed of the entire shrine mountain, all I have done, I am afraid it is really just a drop in the bucket.

The current cleaning speed is still extremely slow.

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

These black flowers, so many... Could there be a root?
If the root cause can be found and cleared...will the crisis of the Shrine Mountain be resolved?

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

He pointed to the distant mountains.

"Can I go up and have 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, and it is full of 'flowers of ruined order'. If you want to climb to the top, you need to be very careful, and there is nothing you are looking for on the top of the mountain."

"What am I looking for?"

"You want to find the root of the broken order. You think there may be an 'primordial flower' in the shrine mountain."

Li Qingci said: "Someone has done this before...For so many years, the black flowers are all over the mountain, not because the defenders gave up fighting and waited to die, but because we can't remove the black spots, so we can only guide them to grow. If there is a so-called 'primordial flower' that can be cut off to remove the black flowers in the mountains, then it has 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.

"Anyway... I still want to take a look."

Gu Shen picked up the [lantern] again, and said softly, "Please ask Miss Qingci to lead the way."

So far, he and Li Qingci have only "meeted".

Across the far mountain wall.

During this period, there is a flowing mist, a gloomy shadow, and a bleak candlelight.

The distance between the two is not really close enough to be able to see the face...

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

She slowly picked up a [lantern] and solemnly instructed.

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

Gu Shen was taken aback.

"Li's Taoist protector, because he has used the 'wish technique' all the year round, exchanging luck with luck...so some ominous curses are wrapped around his body." Li Qingci said in a low voice, "You can understand it as 'unlucky' man of'."

If you have something, you have to give it up.

It's fair.

You don't need any effort, you just need to pray, and you can make your "wish" come true, and make some impossible things really happen and come.The one who can carry this kind of "luck" is probably only the rumored Son of Destiny.

And those who forcibly use this power to add luck to their families will definitely suffer the backlash of fate.

It's just that the "unlucky person" that Li Qingci said suddenly reminded Gu Shen of another guy.

Tsukashi.

Xing Yun.

He followed behind Li Qingci, keeping a distance of ten steps, neither far nor near.

The two began to climb towards the top of the shrine mountain.

"Miss celadon, do you have to go up and down the mountain every day?" Gu Shen picked a random question and got close.

"The guardian's duty."

Li Qingci's already slender figure appeared swaying and blurred under the light of the [lantern] fire.

Like a ray of shadow that could be broken at any time.

If you see it in another place, you may be mistaken for a "female ghost".

This back is too ethereal.

"Li Qingsui gave me a talisman, saying that it is a must-have item for entering the Temple Mountain." Gu Shen said again: "May I ask, all these years... people with 'other surnames' who have entered this wonderland, except Who else is there besides me?"

This question is actually somewhat offensive.

Gu Shen also knew.

The Shrine Mountain is the largest forbidden place of the Li family, and the existence of this place is a secret... Even the five great families know that there is a wonderful place on the northern border of Nagano, which is the important place of the Li family, but people who really know what exists in this wonderful place , is very rare.

Only a handful.

"Not many." Li Qingci's heart was like a mirror, he smiled softly, and said: "Whatever Mr. Gu wants to ask, just ask directly... There is no need to go around and go around in circles."

"I know a... friend."

After thinking for a while, Gu Shen hesitated for a second between the words "guy" and "friend", and finally chose the latter, not only to give Tsukashi face, but also to add three points of mystery to this question.

"The 'unlucky person' that the celadon girl just mentioned..."

Gu Shen hasn't finished speaking yet.

Li Qingci replied: "The person you mentioned is a tomb ghost, right?"

Gu Shen silently closed his mouth, wondering if the wishing technique also has the ability to foretell. He didn't open his mouth several times, but Li Qingci read out his thoughts.

Gu Shen nodded slowly, humming.

"good."

"Is he a friend of Mr. Gu?" Li Qingci smiled and said, "Although I live deep in the mountains and devote myself to serving the wish of the 'God's Embryo', I am not ignorant of the outside world. He has a very bad reputation and logically he should have no friends."

"You should also know about things in the metropolitan area."

Now that it has been pointed out, there is nothing to hide.

Gu Shendao: "Tomb Ghost was brought back to Nagano by Gu Nanfeng, and he is staying with us now."

"Many years ago, Tsukashi came to Shrine Mountain."

Li Qingci paused slightly.

She turned her head meaningfully, looked at Gu Shen with half her face sideways, and said softly: "At that time, he had just taken over the task of designing [Qingzuka], so Mrs. Li invited him over, hoping to have a better understanding of the shrine. Shan put forward some constructive suggestions. However, within a day, he was invited out."

"Go out, please?"

"Because of his arrival... the 'ruined flowers' on the shrine mountain bloomed even faster. At that time, I was still young, and the previous protector felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the ghost to leave. Afterwards statistics , The day when the Tsuka Oni came here, the "lifespan" of the Shrine Mountain was shortened by half a year out of thin air."

Gu Shen was very astonished.

"Unbelievable, isn't it?"

Li Qingci smiled wryly, and said: "We also find it incomprehensible... and not long after that, the high-level officials in Nagano knew that Tsukashi was in danger. This guy is a natural 'unlucky person', and Li The disaster caused by the Dao protector's use of the wishing technique is different. The luck on his body is innate and cannot be dispelled."

"..."

Gu Shen fell silent.

"After that day, my father used the wishing technique to spy on the fate of the tomb ghost, and found that the luck reflected on his head...was completely black." Li Qingci explained earnestly: "Ordinary people, if for a while Bad luck, the luck will be mixed with some black, and when the bad luck dissipates, the black will disappear. But Tsukashi is different, no matter what time, the luck on his head will always be black."

"This also means...he will never change his luck?"

"Not only that."

Li Qingci shook his head, and said: "His black luck is a little weird. Father said that the luck of the tomb ghost is that when there is a big disaster, there will be a big disaster, and when there is a small disaster, there will be a small disaster."

"What... does this mean?" Gu Shen murmured, "If you meet the strong, you will be strong, and if you meet the weak, you will be weak?"

"That's almost what it means." Li Qingci smiled, "You can understand that...he is a real 'unlucky person', and nothing good will ever happen to him."

Gu Shen was lost in thought.

He raised his head in disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "Is there really such a thing as luck?"

"Even transcendence can exist... why can't luck exist?" Li Qingci smiled, "not to mention...this is something that appeared before transcendence. In fact, you should also know that the so-called 'luck' is nothing but It's just an adjective, and before the word was created, the thing it describes already existed."

"Because fate is never fair."

When someone is born, he is doomed to be lucky for a lifetime!
Gu Shen thought for a while, and said: "On the way here, I tried to twist the fate of the ghost. I found that there is an effective method..."

"Walking with the tomb ghost, as long as the tomb ghost encounters disaster, you can keep yourself safe." Li Qingci spoke first, and said: "This is indeed a good way, but the only thing that can be avoided is ordinary small disasters. Really In the event of a catastrophe, it is impossible to avoid it in this way."

"I can not understand."

In this world, why is there such an existence as "Takagami"?

So unreasonable.

Whether it is extraordinary or luck, they all follow a set of rules in the dark.

Li Qingci's entanglement with bad luck and ominous bearing is due to her excessive use of "wishing skills" and overdrawing her destiny.

And what about Tsukashi?

He was born this way!
This kind of existence is completely inconsistent with the rules that Gu Shen knew.

"There are always problems in this world that you can't figure out. It's not because you are not smart enough, but because...the time has not come." Li Qingci continued to walk forward with the lantern in her hand. soul.

It was another light sentence that fell heavily into Gu Shen's heart.

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

Gu Shen felt that this sentence meant something else.

He said seriously: "Please explain clearly."

"I heard from Qingsui about Mr. Gu's first day in Nagano."

Li Qingci said with emotion in his voice, and said carefully, "Please forgive me for using the word story... because many years later, people will commemorate this day. I heard that when you comprehended Gu Yujuan, you triggered a black spiritual glow." ?”

Black Spirit Glow!

This is a "vision" that no one understands!
Even Gu Shen didn't figure it out...why the spiritual aura caused by the white sleeve is white, but he is black?He could only attribute the birth of this vision to the uniqueness of his spiritual practice in the wilderness.

Gu Shen didn't run Gu Yujuan according to the enlightenment track left by taking care of Mr. Changzhi.

So...he created his own [new world].

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

It's just that this explanation obviously doesn't satisfy Gu Shen.

He asked sincerely: "Miss celadon, you used the wishing technique... did you see anything?"

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

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

Li Qingci smiled, her voice sounded like a dream.

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

"The wishing technique took away the ten years of life in full bloom on the scale, and after that, I had a dream."

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

Li Qingci smiled and said, "There is a piece of pure land."

Gu Shen was startled.

"The golden spike flowers blooming on the pure land are exactly the same as the "flowers of ruined order" in the shrine mountain, but the color is golden, cold and dazzling, and the whole world is in this strange feeling .”

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

"Some people feel... as if they are dead, but they also feel that they are actually still alive."

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

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

"Then he said to me... that death may also be rebirth."

Speaking of this, Li Qingci stopped.

There is no way ahead.

The two have come to the top of the shrine mountain.

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

But unexpectedly.

The top of the Temple Mountain is not as depressing as imagined.

There are countless black flowers entwined here, and the density of black spots is hundreds of times that of the mountainside, which should have been shrouded in an atmosphere of disillusionment and silence.

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

a hut.

An ancient well.

A... neatly manicured, boxy huge flower garden, where the most terrifying flowers in the world are raised.

"This dream sounds interesting."

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

"Mr. Gu...I declare in advance that this is just a dream I had, and it doesn't make any sense."

Li Qingci gave a word of comfort.

"at last……"

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