Bulwark of Light

Chapter 400 So Your Brain Is Broken

Li Qingci had a dream.

This was a very long dream... In the dream, she saw the shrine mountain crumbling, and one figure after another stood at the foot of the mountain. They were more frightening than the black flowers all over the mountain, and they just surrounded the mountain in silence.

She is alone.

There is no way to stop these people from climbing the mountain.

They went up the mountain, not cherishing the place that the guardians had worked so hard to maintain for 600 years, because it was already dilapidated enough, and there were dead black flowers growing everywhere, so they started their actions even more recklessly.

Everything that can be smashed, burned, torn...all destroyed.

But this is the only luck among misfortunes.

There is nothing left to destroy about the shrine.

Finally, they climbed to the top of the mountain...there is the "sacred place" maintained by the defenders who sacrifice their lives, and it is the birthplace of the prayer technique.

In the dream, Li Qingci couldn't see the faces of these people clearly.

All she could see was one black face after another. It didn't matter what they looked like... They all looked the same. They wanted to destroy the shrine and the land of ancestral shade.

At the end of the dream, she heard a soft drop of water.

"Tick."

There was a very soft sound.

Li Qingci opened his eyes.

She moved a recliner under the eaves of the ancient house of the shrine, and fell asleep drowsily.

When he woke up at this moment, he found that there was a drop of water on the center of his eyebrows.

the strange thing is.

The wonderland of Shenci Mountain has no time, no matter day or night, it is shrouded in cloud all year round and rarely rains. There are a few dry waterfalls at the bottom of the mountain, but the top of the mountain is always boring.

Where did the drops come from?
Li Qingci rubbed the center of her brows with difficulty, she subconsciously looked at the well...Holding her breath, she walked over.

Mr. Gu said that in this well, he saw a "goddess".

She admits that, for a brief moment, as she approached the well, she had wild fantasies.

Can really bend over.

The well was calm.

There was no turbulence.

Li Qingci was a little disappointed, she sighed lightly, and the next moment, the expression on Qiao's face suddenly became tense... Outsiders broke into the shrine mountain area, and this time it was not just one.

……

……

Three elders came from the Li Family Presbyterian Church, headed by the second elder.

This group of people stood at the foot of the shrine mountain, looked around, waited and sized up, and when they were about to go up the mountain, they met Li Qingci, the Taoist protector who had come down to the foot of the mountain, and the second elder saluted without delay.

Soldiers first and then soldiers.

He twirled his long snow-white beard and wore Li's ancient black-pattern robe, looking like a fairy.

The second elder smiled and said, "Miss Qingci, long time no see."

Li Qingci knew the purpose of these people... She knew even more that this Second Elder had evil intentions.

She stood in front of the mountain without moving.

"Three elders, you should know that Shenci Mountain is a forbidden area of ​​the Li family. Although there is a talisman, it is better not to disturb when nothing happens."

These words are very polite.

But obviously... the elders will come and will not leave easily.

"Miss Qingci is right...it's just that we also have difficulties."

The second elder sighed softly, pretending to be helpless: "After the patriarch's death, every item of the family's financial report needs to be audited clearly... We came to the shrine to investigate Miss Qingsui's [Lamp Hunting] plan. "

This plan is very mysterious in the report.

Just mentioned it briefly.

Just skip it.

However, it was such a plan that burned a large amount of Li's working capital in one year.

At this juncture, the caring people in the Presbyterian Church will certainly not let go of such an excellent opportunity... Investigating the [Finding the Light] plan is not only a method within the regulations, but also convenient to find out Li Qingsui's proposal.

An immature "girl" with insufficient qualifications wants to be the head of the five families?
You only need to find the project she advocates and search for problems from it, and then you can use the name of "unconvincing"...to remove her from Li's power center.

In fact, they have been doing this since the head of the family came to power.

It's just that Li Qingsui started to take over the family's core business a year ago... Her achievements can be described as impressive, with almost no faults, of course, because of the secret assistance of the former head of the family.

But I have to say that Li Qingsui has a high understanding and is decisive enough.

Wanting to nitpick from other projects... is almost impossible.

Only then did the Council of Elders turn their attention to the [Looking for the Lantern] plan.

"investigation?"

Li Qingci still refused to give an inch.

She said coldly, "As a guardian... I have the right to refuse your investigation."

What a joke...how could these people be allowed to step into an important place like a shrine!
But having said that.

Li Qingci felt vaguely ominous.

She is a protector who has inherited the wishing technique, the previous dream... could not be without a reason.

If so, that dream was an indication.

Then... what will happen next, I'm afraid it will be beyond my control...

Li Qingci made a plan to guard the shrine alone.

But never expected.

The Second Elder had no intention of moving on at all.

He smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Qingci, since you refuse to investigate...then we won't enter."

Li Qingci was stunned.

"It's just that the impact of the [Looking for Lanterns] project is probably much greater than you imagined... After returning, the elders will make a new assessment of Miss Qingsui."

The second elder said something lightly, and was about to turn around.

"Girl Celadon, actually...it doesn't hurt to let them climb the mountain."

At this moment, outside the mountain mist, a young voice sounded from the direction where the second elder came.

Gu Shen slowly walked out of the mist.

"Mr. Gu!"

When Li Qingci saw Gu Shen's figure, the uneasiness and uneasiness in her heart disappeared instantly. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense nerves were also relaxed.

"Gu Shen?"

The original indifferent smile on the Second Elder's face slowly disappeared.

He stared at Gu Shen.

Why is this guy so haunted?

Wherever he goes, where does he come?
"Second Elder, the fire will seriously hurt your body."

Gu Shen came to the old man and wrote lightly: "You don't have a few years left to live. It's not worth it to make a face all day long. You should cherish every day and smile more, it's good for your health."

After the second elder of the Li family heard the words, his complexion suddenly changed.

He knew that Gu Shen was a disciple of Master Qianye!

He is the heir of divination!

This kid said that he didn't have a few years to live... What did he mean?Are you serious?
"Brat! Disrespectful!"

Before the second elder got angry, an elder on the other side got angry first.

This elder is not very old, about thirty, he is in the prime of life, and his physique is burly, like a king kong.

When stepping into the mountain realm of the shrine, Gu Shen sensed the three transcendents of the Li Family Presbyterian Church through the spiritual link... This time, the three of them are stronger than Li Xuan.

Among them, the second elder has the highest realm, and should have the strength of the fourth stage, and the other two are at the third stage, about seven or eight.

"rude?"

Gu Shen smiled, and asked back: "To tell the truth, is it considered rude?"

"The following offenses are above the level, and if you speak rudely, you should slap your mouth!"

The "King Kong" elder took a step forward and slapped him unceremoniously.

He has long since disliked Gu Shen...

Regarding Mr. Li's matter, this kid jumped out again and again. Last time, he hit a member of the Presbyterian Church and confiscated the talisman on his own initiative. This time, he came in again!
Take this opportunity to learn a lesson!
This slap was extremely fast.

This King Kong elder was originally a superman of the attacking system, and he worked hard to train his body. In order to teach Gu Shen a sufficient lesson, he even used the "field"!
next moment.

"Clap"!
A crisp slap sounded from the foot of the shrine mountain.

A bloody tooth was knocked out.

fall to the ground.

Elder King Kong, who took the lead, looked at the tooth that fell out of his mouth.

He looked stunned and his eyes were blank.

One side of his cheek was swollen high, with blood oozing out, and the crown of his hair was knocked off, and his hair was disheveled, in a state of embarrassment.

It's just that he didn't see clearly from the beginning to the end.

How did it all happen...

When did Gu Shen make the move?

But someone saw it.

The second elder saw it very clearly... At the moment when he started to strike, Gu Shen's figure seemed to have turned into a phantom, swaying and staggering, the hair came first, and then he slapped Elder King Kong.

Faster, more accurate, more ruthless.

The phantom just now... looks a bit like [End Flash].

Even if it's not the real [Wan Shan], it's still [-]% to [-]% comprehended.

If I remember correctly, when Gu Shen and Shen Li faced each other a year ago, their attainments in physical skills were not profound... they couldn't even touch the threshold of [End Flash].

The second elder slowly stretched out a hand and stopped another angry elder.

He spoke in a cold tone, and said word by word: "In my face... hit my elder of the Li family? Gu Shen, you must give me an explanation today."

"statement?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "This elder...hasn't he already given it to you before? If you offend me, you should slap your mouth if you speak disrespectfully."

"I am a student of Master Qianye, and a disciple of the Grand Inquisitor. Apart from these two identities, I am still Qingsui's half-brother, a distinguished guest enshrined and respected by the shrine, and invited by the previous head of the Li family." The man of the talisman."

He looked at the elder who took the lead, and the implication was very clear.

Which of these identities is not stronger than you?
The next offense is the one who speaks rudely...you should slap your mouth.

However, it's your mouth that should be slapped!

The elder who was slapped in the face widened his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"I have heard that the Li family is the one who pays the most attention to etiquette among the five families." Gu Shen said calmly, "The second elder should be able to distinguish right from wrong in this matter."

The second elder had nothing to say.

He glanced at the elder who was slapped after failing to make a move, and knew that the matter could not be pursued further.

This slap hit, it was Gu Shengai!

But if he couldn't beat him, he was beaten by the opponent... he could only blame himself for his incompetence.

"Since your status is so honorable..."

The word "noble" was re-read by the second elder.

He said coldly: "Then what you said earlier should mean something, right?"

Gu Shen said earlier that people can be released to climb the mountain.

Hearing this, Li Qingci became worried... She cast a dark look at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen came to her side and signaled her not to be nervous.

"Everyone, if you have leisure time and are willing to climb the mountain...then you can do it now."

He gave way to the mountain road, and said calmly: "But before climbing the mountain, don't blame me for saying something ugly. After climbing the mountain, there are black flowers in all directions, and every flower is a 'point of collapse of order'. You should know this thing Power, once touched, it will disintegrate directly..."

The expressions of the elders changed slightly.

Of course they know... No one has entered this shrine mountain in recent years, the reason is very simple.

This is simply a "magic cave"!
It's gloomy and desolate, except for the guardians, who would enter here?
If it weren't for this juncture, the elders would urgently need to make a fuss about the "shrine", and they wouldn't come to this kind of place...

As a protector, Li Qingci, of course, tried his best to stop him.

But if they really let go, they are unwilling to enter.

"Please." Gu Shen stretched out his hand to invite, and said lightly: "By the way, there is another ugly saying. I have to say that if you die on the mountain, you will not be able to leave even a single corpse. But don't worry, I will Let Qingsui use the most solemn etiquette to bury the elders."

The two people next to the Second Elder looked a little apprehensive.

They are not afraid of climbing the mountain and accidentally touching the black flower... What they are afraid of is that Gu Shen has prepared tricks on this road!

There is no [deep sea] link here.

What really happened, absolutely no one will know what happened.

According to Li's internal information, this kid came to the shrine to meditate when he had nothing to do. Who knows what he is practicing?
"You should be clear about what the mountain climbing is for."

The second elder said calmly, "If you refuse to explain the meaning of the [Looking for the Lantern] plan, what if you climbed into the shrine?"

I wasn't going to go to the shrine.

It's too easy to make things difficult for someone... There are thousands of ways in this world, and the Second Elder is the one who knows it well.

He lightly wrote: "Gu Shen, if you are willing to invite mountaineering, you might as well keep it simple and tell us about the [Finding the Lantern] plan."

"Okay."

Gu Shen was still downplaying, and said: "There is nothing to hide, the content of the [Looking for Lanterns] project is very simple, it is to help the shrine mountain to fade away the black flowers all over the mountain."

The second elder was startled.

He seemed to have heard a big joke.

these flowers...

These black flowers that may cause Li's backlash at any time...

For 600 years, it has not been removed!

It is said that when Gu Changzhi came to Shenci Mountain, there was nothing he could do!

Can a few broken lamps save it?
As long as you enter the Li Clan Presbyterian Church and get the talisman... you will be told the meaning of the existence of the Shrine Mountain. This withered mountain is full of flowers of extinction. Li Clan's guardians are doing their best , Turn the "disaster" into a "wonderful".

Because there is a so-called "divine fetus" in the shrine mountain.

Only the "divine fetus" is needed to hatch.

Shrine mountain, you can be saved.

So many years, generation after generation.

The Presbyterian Church had waited with hope.

It's just year after year, decade after decade, century after century... All they waited for was disappointment.

So in the end, no one in the Presbyterian Church believed in the so-called hope of Shrine Mountain.

The second elder laughed.

He really felt that Gu Shen was joking.

So he asked: "Next... you don't want to say that the lamp on the mountain of the shrine can hatch the so-called 'divine fetus'?"

Silence.

At this moment, it seemed that even the wind at the foot of the shrine mountain had become solidified.

"You're right, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

Gu Shen nodded and said, "But the name of the god fetus sounds strange...you can call her a goddess."

The old man looked at Gu Shen with hopeless eyes, and said sarcastically, "I might as well tell you, I have lived in the Li family for 70 years, and I have already climbed the Shenci Mountain. I have seen every corner of this mountain. ... If there really is a so-called goddess, is she hiding in the well on the top of the mountain?"

"you are right."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "In a sense, she is indeed in the well."

"..."

The second elder looked at Gu Shen seriously, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He stopped talking.

The Second Elder suddenly felt very sympathetic to the young man in front of him.

He shook his head and said pitifully, "It turns out... your brain is broken."

Gu Shen just smiled.

After the second elder finished speaking, he was too lazy to waste time with Gu Shen, waved his hand, and took the two elders straight away... The purpose of this trip has been achieved. Regarding the [Looking for Lanterns] plan, Shencishan gave a plan that is worthy of praise. A "surprise surprise" reply.

The antique lamp that Mrs. Li bought back at a huge price is related to the fetus of a god.

600 years!
No one has ever seen the shadow of a divine fetus!

How many broken lamps can hatch a god fetus?
This is simply the second elder... the biggest joke he has ever heard in his 70 years of life.

none of them.
