Bulwark of Light

Chapter 340 Bronze Man Lamp (Two in One)

What kind of "spell" is the wish technique?
The scene that Li Qingci saw in the dream... Gu Shen felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

From this description, it should be my "Four Seasons Wilderness", but now the wilderness is empty, where are there any golden spikes and rivers?
This is... many years later?
"Can the wishing technique predict the future?" Gu Shen asked in a low voice.

"Do not……"

Li Qingci said softly: "It's not that I can't, but... I don't know. This is the technique of 'belief is existence'. To me, this is just an illusory dream. I believe that we will meet, but now, Sure enough, we met."

Gu Shen remained silent.

"Little Mr. Gu... It can be seen that you are no stranger to this dream." Li Qingci smiled and noticed some clues from Gu Shen's expression, but she did not continue to ask, but stopped here.

She has always been a very measured person.

"Okay... this is the top of the shrine mountain."

Before Li Qingci came to the ancient house, he held up the [lantern].

Countless dark black flowers rustled under the light and fire.

This scene makes people feel a little creepy.

The quiet and silent mountaintop world.

In fact, if you don't know...these black flowers carry the power of "destruction" and "silence". Standing alone on the top of the mountain and looking far away, this landscape also has a kind of quiet beauty.

"There is actually a house built here..."

Gu Shen frowned, he squatted down and observed the wooden foundation supporting the ancient house.

I don't know what kind of material it is, but it can be unscathed under the "black flower" package, but it looks a little decayed, maybe it has been decades?
"This is the 'house' of the first guardian of the Li family."

Li Qingci paused, and said, "It's also called...a shrine."

This is the origin of the name of the shrine mountain!
Gu Shen's expression suddenly became serious.

In this way, this house has been built for 600 years, and time seems to be frozen here. The "slight decay" of these wooden materials is insignificant in comparison with 600 years.

"what……"

Because the mountain boundary of the shrine blocks all spiritual connections.

So Gu Shen couldn't connect to the deep water area.

He squatted down, with a ray of light shining between his brows, and slowly came to the house, black flowers gave way one after another, and he saw that the wooden beams on the foundation of the house were covered with talismans, on which was written An obscure "ancient text"!
Ancient Chinese!

"Girl Celadon... What are these ancient texts?"

Gu Shen tried his best to memorize the words on these talismans, and planned to wait until he left the shrine mountain, link to Chu Ling, and then make inquiries.

If I remember correctly.

The [Red Gate] in Lu Nanzhi's mind was also branded with similar ancient characters.

The establishment of the Ancient Chinese Society is to study these symbols.

"I don't know either." Li Qingci shook his head. "These talismans are left by our ancestors. Apart from him, I am afraid that no one else can interpret them."

She said in a deep voice: "The protectors of the past generations know that the shrine cannot be destroyed. Because of these talismans, even the 'Black Flower' cannot erode the ancient house. This is the protector of the Li family The final resting place, a place of purity, and the wishing technique for hatching a divine fetus must also be carried out in this place."

Gu Shen thought about it.

Although the wish technique has various conditions, it is still powerful beyond my understanding, but from Li Qingci's words... even the location of activation is particular?

"Only praying in the 'shrine' will be effective?" Gu Shen asked confused.

"If it's a big wish...you have to make a wish in the 'shrine'." Li Qingci said: "If it's just some small, fragmented wishes, then you don't need to be in the shrine to make a wish."

"Can I go in and have a look?"

Gu Shen asked cautiously.

"Yes...please come with me."

Li Qingci stepped on the wooden steps slowly, and pushed open the door of the shrine for Gu Shen. This ancient house has indeed gone through a long time... The wooden door creaked, which sounded a bit eerie.

It was pitch black inside the house.

After Li Qingci entered the door, he gently raised his hand, and the ray of fire in the inner core of the [lantern] was divided into four, and swept towards the four directions of east, west, north, south, and instantly the room became brighter.

Inside the shrine's ancient house, there are four [bronze lamps] in the four corners.

The image of the bronze lamp is actually four pocket-sized ancient men, with their sleeves folded together, they bowed to the ground, and held a wick. At this moment, the faint candle flame was burning, reflecting their sleeves swaying, as if they had come to life.

The four ancients are all faceless.

"It's a sealed item..."

Gu Shen stared at the bronze lamp for a long time, "A very strong sealed item."

Gu Shen could feel the repulsion of the blazing fire towards the lamp holder, and when he got closer, he would uncontrollably have the idea of ​​"going further away".

Obviously... the shrine's ability to resist the erosion of black spots has something to do with these bronze lamps!

Four bronze lamps, each suppressing one direction, form an invisible realm.

In the Great Wonderland, connect the Small Wonderland.

This ancient house is actually a world of its own, with its own "rules", so it can resist the "collapse of order" outside!
However, this sealed item seems to be incomplete.

Gu Shen could vaguely sense intuitively...these four bronze lamps should have their own real faces, and when they find their own faces, then this set of sealed artifacts will be considered a complete return to perfection!
"The way to use these bronze lamps is just to light them?" Gu Shen frowned.

"It's a barrier thing, and it can't be moved." Li Qingci shook his head, "The black flowers entangle the ancient house. Once the [Bronze Man Lamp] is moved, the 'balance' in the house may be broken."

She looked at Gu Shen and asked with a smile, "Did you see anything unusual?"

"These people... lost their faces."

Gu Shen pointed to the bronze lamp, and said seriously: "The bronze man lamp...was it like this when you brought it back?"

"I don't know about that." Li Qingci also stared at the bronze lamp for a while, feeling a little dazzled, she pulled her eyes away, and said softly: "If one day, the 'black flowers' in the house can be cleaned up, Then maybe we can bring these bronze lamps to the outside world."

At that time, this puzzle may be able to find the answer.

"correct."

Li Qingci came to the center of the ancient house.

She sat down cross-legged slowly, raised her head and said earnestly: "I'm always here when I'm praying"... I don't know why, but in the center of the square, using the praying technique does have the spiritual feeling of "doing more with less". I always feel that somewhere in the world, I have good luck."

Is it the role of the copper man lamp?

Gu Shen saw that the seat where Li Qingci was sitting was the place where four bronze figures kowtowed.

Because of the ancient characters of the talismans, coupled with the enchantment of the bronze man, the disordered sources outside the ancient house cannot enter this house, and even if Gu Shen releases the blazing fire and tries his best to sense it, he cannot perceive the central place, what is abnormal ...

It may really be the illusory "luck" at work.

Or maybe.

It was the ancestor of the Li family, who had great powers.

"If there really is a 'divine fetus', where should it hatch?"

Gu Shen suddenly thought of a question.

What is the "divine fetus" that Li has prayed for for 600 years, and he did not hesitate to spend so much effort to incubate it?
Li Qingci shook his head, unable to answer this question.

Divine fetus...

Is there really such a thing?

"Maybe it fell from the sky, or maybe it grew out of the flower garden." She sighed softly, and said, "The top of the mountain is only this big. If there is a day... where can the god fetus come from?" ?”

"If there is a divine fetus, it can't come out of a stone."

Gu Shen rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly: "Besides, I just saw that there is no such stone on the top of Shenci Mountain..."

Li Qingci couldn't help laughing.

"Man cannot be created out of thin air."

She stood up, pushed open the door of the ancient house, looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and said softly: "No matter how powerful the wishing technique is, Mr. Gu, you were born 18 years ago... Karma and causality, how can this world be so powerful?" Is it possible to conjure a 'divine fetus' out of thin air?"

"It's in this position...Mr. Gu Changzhi stood there all night."

Li Qingci came to the flower garden.

This is the place with the widest view on the top of Shenci Mountain. You can easily see the whole "mountain boundary". There are wisps of cloud in the distance, and the entire Shenci Mountain is dark, like the underworld.

"He plucked a black flower."

Li Qingci squatted down and said with a smile: "Then the rest of the flowers were pruned into this flower garden by me using the 'wish technique'. These flowers look neat, right?"

Gu Shen nodded.

It is already a very miraculous thing that these disordered sources can be guided by the "wish technique".

But forming a flower garden is a bit too unbelievable.

"There's something unusual about them."

Li Qingci thought for a while, and said: "When I was using the wishing technique to guide the flower momentum of the entire shrine mountain... I felt something strange in this area, the square inch where Mr. Gu Changzhi once stood."

"Strange?"

"I feel overflowing emotions from these black flowers." Li Qingci lowered his voice and said, "It seems to be...fear."

fear?

Are these black spots afraid of Gu Changzhi?

"Compared with other black flowers, these flowers are very well-behaved and obedient, and they are pruned casually with the wishing technique to form this flower garden." Li Qingci said with emotion: "I guess...the one that Mr. Gu Changzhi picked off A flower, is it a kind of 'warning' to them?"

And they really understood.

"Little Mr. Gu...I hope that one day you can become like Mr. Gu Changzhi."

Li Qingci suddenly said this.

Gu Shen made some mistakes and couldn't guard against them.

He was startled, and then said sincerely: "If Mr. Gu Changzhi is a mountain, then I... am just a grain of sand now."

"People at that time didn't know Ling Yunmu, and waited until Ling Yun started to be high."

Li Qingci stretched out his hand to gesture, and said seriously: "Mr. Gu Changzhi a long time ago... also started from a small grain of sand."

After a slight pause.

She said something that Gu Shen didn't expect: "For Li's protectors...the shrine mountain is already so big that you can't see the end."

How many years, how many guards, how many victims...

"For Mr. Gu Changzhi, perhaps the Shrine Mountain is just a mountain."

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

Of course he understood what Li Qingci meant...

No matter how big the shrine mountain is, it is only a wonderland after all.

Outside the shrine mountain, there are even higher mountains.

For the gods who hold the "fire seed", what they want to see is not a mountain, but a farther distance.

However, the road has to be taken step by step.

For Gu Shen.

The mountain in front of me is already high enough.

"From now on... I will come once a week or so."

Gu Shen said seriously: "I want to start from the top of the mountain and clean up these black flowers..."

Li Qingci thought for a while: "Do you want to ensure the safety of the shrine first?"

"good."

Gu Shen nodded, and said: "The shrine is the most important thing. This is the place where the ancestors of the Li family spared no effort to protect 600 years ago. Maybe after the black flowers on the top of the mountain are cleaned up, we can find the 600-year-old temple from the [Bronze Man Lamp]. Some truth."

"I agree."

This is indeed the most correct way of thinking.

Li Qingci saluted slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Qingci...thank you again, Mr. Gu."

……

……

At the foot of the shrine mountain.

Li Qingsui crossed his arms, sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, dozing off slightly, his little head shaking back and forth, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Bang" sound.

The muffled sound of the car door woke her up.

Li Qingsui rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Why have you been here for so long..."

This time, it took two or three hours to climb the shrine mountain, including reminiscing about the old days and climbing the mountain.

It is indeed long enough.

Outside the shrine mountain, it should be almost evening.

Uncle Gao drove silently.

"Isn't it good for a long time... For those of us who take money to do things, the longer we work, the harder we work!"

Gu Shen coughed, and said seriously: "Actually, I went to the top of the mountain to see your family's ancestral house."

"Did you go to the shrine?"

Li Qingsui suddenly became nervous: "Why would my sister take you to that kind of place?"

"Rare."

Gu Shen curled his lips, and said: "The house is surrounded by walls, even if you want me to go in again, I'm not happy."

Li Qingsui was not happy when he heard this.

"Bah! You're just a family!"

"Do you know how precious the [Bronze Man Lamp] is, and if it breaks, can you afford it?"

She bared her teeth and claws and rushed over aggressively, but Gu Shen looked back and pressed two fingers to her forehead.

"Li's future Patriarch, why is he like this?"

Gu Shen had a headache and said, "Look at your sister, and then at you!"

This sentence is very familiar.

Li Qingsui has listened to it countless times since childhood.

Later, when my sister went to Shenci Mountain, she never heard of it again... And after that day, she stood in the light and became the future successor of the Li family.

Since then.

She began to learn to restrain her true side and play the role of a qualified head of the Li family.

So when she met Gu Shen in the Snow Forbidden City on the first day, she showed a very "polite" and "elegant" demeanor in front of Gong Zi and Mu Nan...

Because of Uncle Gao's company.

Both Gong Zi and Mu Nan treated her respectfully and politely. The girl in front of her was, after all, the young master of the Li family.

In fact, this is just a 16-year-old yellow-haired girl.

"This lady is like this! Are you not convinced?!"

Li Qingsui was still showing his teeth and claws, "Be careful, I will use the wishing technique to curse your lower half..."

Gu Shen said lightly: "I have a way to liberate [Bronze Man Lamp] from the shrine."

Uncle Gao: "???"

Li Qingsui: "I wish you the rest of your life with no worries about food and clothing, prosperity and prosperity!"
