Bulwark of Light

Chapter 402

"Clap."

A drop of water fell.

Hit the woman's face.

The woman closed the pages of the book in her hand, slowly raised her head, and looked at the ginkgo trees in the courtyard. It was almost the annual ancestor worship day, and there were more people coming and going in the hall, and the voices became noisy.

One year.

For most people, there are 360 ​​five days in a year.

But to Bai Lu, this year is just one year.

She only did one thing, and that was to read the ancient books collected in the Zongtang word by word.

After closing the pages of the book, Bai Lu could hear the voices of those people in the distance of the Zongtang... those people were talking about herself.

Many people find it incredible.

The most noisy woman in the Bai family changed her personality drastically. She just stayed in the Zongtang for a whole year and never went anywhere.

Don't know where these people heard about it.

Some people say that she is the heir of Qingzuka's divination technique, and she has a divination. Soon after, bad luck will come, and it is best not to leave the Zongtang. That's why she stays under the ginkgo tree every day, reading and drinking tea. want.

In fact, it is to avoid disaster.

Some people also said that Bai Lu had reached her "age" and could no longer continue to be crazy, which would insult the image of the Bai family, so she was ordered by the head of the family to practice meditation, and this year she could cultivate herself with peace of mind.

These voices of discussion were all heard by Bai Lu.

She shook her head.

After studying for a year, she can always hear these voices.

I thought it was just the beginning.

But it was only later that I discovered... People in this world are always so boring.

How can there be so many complicated reasons why Bai Lu stays behind closed doors and reads books for a whole year?
Just like the gossip she caused in the Forbidden Snow City before.

She wants to do it.

So she did.

Of course, no matter how unreasonable things are in this world, there are always some traces to be found.

If you really want to go back to the source.

The reason why Bai Lu retreated for a year is also very simple... because Xiao Xiuzi also retreated and retreated in the Forbidden Snow City during this year.

She closed the pages of the book, took a final sip of tea, and left the Zongtang.

There are so many alleys in Snow Forbidden City that it is easy to get lost.

But Bai Lu was very familiar with this road.

She came to the place where Xiaoxiuzi was. It was the cleanest courtyard deliberately chosen for him by the Bai clan.

No one will bother.

Bai Lu was standing at the entrance of the alley. She didn't even dare to get close to the courtyard, but just looked at it from a distance across the alley.

"Little Sleeve has been in retreat for a year."

A deep voice sounded beside her.

Bai Lu was slightly taken aback, and turned around to see a familiar and kind face.

"Second Elder."

Bai Lu hurriedly saluted, but was stopped by the latter.

"Little Lu..."

Bai Zesheng smiled and said, "You have a heart."

he knows.

During this year, of course, Bai Lu didn't stay under the ginkgo tree in the Zongtang every day, she would walk around the Forbidden Snow City every day... and every time, she would come to this alley by accident, stop from a distance, and look at the small alley. The yard where the sleeves are located.

a year ago.

Xiaoxiuzi completely locked himself in the courtyard.

Bai's news is that.

He is heading towards the fourth stage... Once successful, it is almost certain that Baixiu will become the youngest "title" in Dongzhou, because he is only 20 years old so far.

According to the big data analysis of the Intercontinental Congress.

Before the age of 30, it is already a rare genius to become a transcendent in the fourth stage. After all, this is a state that most transcendents are "unattainable".

The fourth stage means the mature cohesion of the field. Such an extraordinary person can be regarded as drawing a clear line between "ordinary" and a real qualitative change.

They can control abilities as they please, and even develop advanced powers.

They are the "high-end combat power" and "mainstay" in the extraordinary world!
The Intercontinental Council will maintain a respectful attitude towards such extraordinary people, and their opinions will be considered, and such characters, no matter where they are placed, are "big figures" who have attracted much attention, even Nagano, or Dadu, They are all top-level combat power reserves.

The three institutes and five masters in Dongzhou have established such a complete combat power cultivation system over the years.

In fact, their purpose has never been to cultivate a "title" that can go to the end of the route, but to cultivate enough controllable "fourth-stage transcendent".

……

……

"Many people are very concerned about Xiaoxiuzi's practice, but there should be only one in the entire Bai family who cares so much about you."

Bai Zesheng reached out and patted the junior on the shoulder, and spoke gently.

"Little sleeve and I grew up together..."

Bai Lu's expression was a bit complicated, "It can be seen that the assassination in Tundra had a great impact on him."

In fact, every time she came to the alley, she was not concerned about Bai Xiu's practice.

What kind of person is Baixiu?

One person overwhelms the monsters in Nagano!

Shockingly talented and brilliant, he has swept away all enemies, and he has never failed in his cultivation path!Such a genius is destined to become a title character!
How could she be worried that Bai Xiu would encounter difficulties when breaking through the fourth stage?

What she was worried about...was the "evil thoughts" in Bai Xiu's heart because of the Tundra assassination.

A year ago, when thousands of people were empty to welcome the return of Xiaoxiuzi, Baixiu silently came to the Zongtang.

All left.

But Bai Lu was the only one who was reading in the yard, so he bumped into Little Sleeve, who was covered in blood.

Say goodbye and meet again.

It shouldn't be like this.

In the following days, Bai Lu would always think of the scene of the little sleeves and white clothes stained with blood that day, and the words and words he asked herself.

Bai hoped that he could cultivate.

Hope he breaks through.

In the end, he fulfilled Bai's wish, lived in this courtyard, and started a long practice.

No one is allowed to enter or leave this courtyard, the Bai family got the "retreat and break the realm" they wanted, and Bai Xiu got the "peace" he wanted.

Just, is it really so?

Bai Lu tried to check the case files of "Tundra Assassination" this year, but she always felt that things were not that simple... It's just that the results of the case files came to light, and all of this was exposed in the light. The evidence, the execution, were clear and clear. .

The second elder, Bai Zesheng, also suffered heavy injuries because of Yinta's hunting activities.

It's just breaking a boundary.

Bai Xiu has been in seclusion for a whole year, has he really not made a breakthrough?Or... is he just avoiding the Bai family?

"I want to go in and have a look at the little sleeves..."

Bai Lu spoke softly.

"Let's not bother."

Bai Zesheng shook his head, he sighed softly, and said, "I understand what you mean, you are worried about his mental state... I am also worried, and I specially asked the supernatural beings from the Federal Security Council to keep an eye on the people in the yard. Mental fluctuations, but Baixiu's mental state has been stable this year, if there is anything unusual, we will know as soon as possible."

"Not long ago, I myself wanted to go into the yard to express condolences..."

Bai Zesheng smiled wryly, "When the Patriarch knew about it, he severely reprimanded me and told me not to disturb the little sleeve's cleaning. However, the Patriarch also said that every once in a while he would have a spiritual link with the little sleeve to ensure basic communication. Xiaoxiuzi is in good condition, and now is the most critical moment to break the situation."

The alley is an ordinary alley.

But outside the gate of Baixiu's courtyard, there are powerful sealed artifacts guarding it, as well as the "transcendent array pattern" personally carved by Patriarch Bai Xiaochi. Because of the last assassination incident, the Bai family has greatly enhanced the protection of Baixiu.

Before he successfully breaks through, no mistakes are allowed.

Hearing these words, Bai Lu relaxed a little.

The small sleeves are not designed to completely lock themselves up.

At least he is willing to communicate with the Patriarch...

The stone hanging in her heart was considered to have fallen to the ground halfway.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Zesheng, and said softly, "Second Elder, how is your injury?"

The blizzard in Inta made Bai Zesheng once again a family hero.

To hunt down the Tundra Assassins.

He paid a huge price... Bai Lu heard that the Second Elder walked around before the gate of hell, which shows the seriousness of his injuries.

However, the second elder seemed to have recovered after recuperating for half a year.

"The knife wound is just a scar, and it hurts occasionally."

Bai Zesheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, he said softly: "Thanks to Patriarch's 'Ming Zhao', I have saved my life."

Bai Lu said with emotion: "You still need to take care of your body and rest more...to prevent the old injury from recurring."

Since the tundra assassination case a year ago was to be investigated, it was inevitable to check the final file.

Inta Blizzard.

The assassin was executed.

Finally, when all the dust settled, Bai Zesheng suffered heavy injuries and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. His injuries were out of danger, but at a critical moment, the penetrating knife wound left by the assassin caused hemorrhage all over his body.

In a remote place like Inta, there is no time to transfer treatment.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Bai Xiaochi arrived.

The head of the family used the power of [Zhaoming] to block the disintegration of the blood.

Bai Zesheng... survived.

It is quite appropriate to use "recover a life".

If the Patriarch hadn't appeared, perhaps he would have died.

The only regret is that the assassin was burned to ashes by the fire in Inta... There was almost no useful information left at the scene, and everything was burned to the ground.

The only thing that matters is the testimony of eyewitnesses.

Bai Zesheng watched his opponent burn to death with his own eyes.

The final investigation also came to an end.

……

……

Bai Lu left the alley.

Bai Zesheng didn't leave.

He stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, with calm and deep eyes... No one knew what he was thinking.

Bai Lu is not the only one who comes to this alley every day.

And him.

He pays more attention to the white sleeves than anyone else.

Because he knew... the case file from a year ago was never over, and it was definitely not a coincidence that Bai Xiaochi could rush to Inta.

Just like his "hemorrhage" at the last moment, it was just a show.

It is precisely because of knowing the ability of the Patriarch.

Only Bai Zesheng dared to "bleed profusely".

He had to make himself miserable enough to win the only sympathy left in the Patriarch's heart, so as to dispel the suspicion that the information on the assassin in the Inta case file was exhausted in the end.

Afterwards, Bai Zesheng found out that Bai Xiaochi found a streak of blood from the tundra, and desperately searched for information about the owner of the blood stain through the [Deep Sea] database... and he rushed to Yinta at the first time, maybe he just wanted to take a look at his own blood. Does the blood match that strand of blood?

It's a fluke to survive.

Fortunately, I didn't make a move in the tundra.

Fortunately, the blood of "Mr. Jin" was not entered into the [Deep Sea] database.

It's just that it makes him uneasy.

From that day on, Bai Xiu directly retreated in the Snow Forbidden City. The Bai family seemed to have given a yard at random, but in fact... this entire alley was occupied by the superhumans in charge of the protection plan of the Bai family.

There is no possibility at all to carry out an assassination in the Snow Forbidden City.

It is clear.

After that miss in Tundra... Bai Xiu didn't trust the "Presbyterian Council" at all.

He locked himself up directly.

With the cultivation speed of this genius, if he continues to practice like this, is it still worth it?

Who can kill him!
……

……

After watching for a while, Bai Zesheng left the alley.

He walked all the way, walking towards the depths of the alley in the Forbidden Snow City.

His whereabouts, there is no taboo 【Feng Tong】.

Logically speaking, 【Fengtong】can see all this clearly.

It's just... At this moment, [Feng Tong] has undergone a subtle change. With extremely high authority, he helped Bai Zesheng erase his figure after leaving the alley.

The so-called erasing does not mean erasing the entire video.

Instead... just erase one person.

He seemed to have turned into a ghost, appearing anywhere in the Forbidden Snow City would not be recorded.

After half an hour.

Bai Zesheng arrived at the destination, an extremely remote old house. He opened the door of the courtyard. The facilities inside were simple, only a wooden house with a foundation, and the hall had curtains swaying in the wind.

If someone tries to connect to [Deep Sea] here, they will find that there is no signal in the house.

This is a "dark place".

"Pitch black" in every sense of the word.

Except there is no [Deep Ocean] link signal... There is no light here either.

Standing in front of the house, Bai Zesheng bowed in salute, restrained all the thoughts in his heart, and said slowly.

"It's still the same... There is no movement in the alley, and no good opportunities can be found."

There was no immediate echo from the cabin.

Bai Zesheng maintained his posture of bowing and saluting, preparing to leave the courtyard according to his past habits... Outside the curtain, a tall and thin familiar figure slowly appeared.

"Your Excellency invites you to enter the house for a talk."

Bai Zesheng frowned.

He raised his head and looked at "Mr. Jin" who had lifted the curtain. It has been nearly a year since Tundra left... So far he still can't believe the scene in front of him is real.

Because it's just crazy.

Under his own cover, the guy who escaped from Inta... actually returned to Dongzhou swaggeringly after half a year, and chose to settle in Nagano.

This is nothing.

After all, in the [Deep Sea] database, there is no successful blood comparison, so there is no need to worry about being discovered for the time being.

The craziest thing is...

Bai Zesheng took a deep breath.

He went in.

It was pitch black in the wooden house, and the sight was a little uncomfortable, but after entering the curtain, there was a sweet and mellow aroma wafting over. There were several wooden frames in the wooden house, and bunches of grapes were crawling on them against the seasons. .

A boy dressed in an ordinary black cloth shirt, who seemed to be integrated with the surrounding darkness, sat cross-legged on the floor of the wooden house. In this already dark enough environment...he chose to close his eyes tightly.

This is willingly being a blind man.

Bai Zesheng couldn't understand such behavior, and he didn't dare to look directly at the young man in the dark, because just by taking a few steps...he could feel great pressure, a feeling of oppression that made it hard to breathe.

This is... Shenwei!
"Master Liquor..."

After Bai Zesheng struggled to complete the salute, he hissed.

Who would have thought that the "Dionysus Seat" of the Tower of Origin would have arrived in Dongzhou in person?
And... settle in Snow Forbidden City!
When he saw this young man for the first time, Bai Zesheng couldn't believe his eyes... The last time he sent an "Apostle" caused intense controversy within the five continents.

Because of the angry protests of the majority, the Intercontinental Council redefined the boundaries of [Apostles] and the treaties that must be observed when using [Treasures].

And this time.

The seat of God is close.

The irony is... Even if this matter is exposed, the Intercontinental Council will not make any refutation, because no one has the right to interfere with the [God Throne]'s actions, and they can go wherever they want.

It's just because of the tacit understanding between the top seats.

The thrones of the continents, under normal circumstances, will not cross the boundaries of the continents to reach another neighboring continent.

Unless there are special tasks.

For example, in a super-large-scale disaster that occurs once every few years, the god seat on the continent happened to be busy and couldn't get out, and other people were needed to help clean up... In this case, the god seat from the outer continent will come forward.

Some people say that this year's Snow Forbidden City was the most peaceful year in 20 years.

After Gong Zi took off the dream of the tinder.

Inside the Forbidden Snow City, it suddenly became quiet... White sleeves did not come out, Gu Shen retreated, and children from three schools and five families fought back and forth, but there were very few amazing ones.

But Bai Zesheng knew.

The reason why this year's Snow Forbidden City is calm... is because it is about to usher in the biggest "wave" in history.

Dionysus lived in Snow Forbidden City for nearly half a year.

This half year.

Every time Bai Zesheng had an "audience", he was inevitably a little nervous.

It is not very far from "Kyotsuka".

What if the man who was rumored to have "sleeped" woke up?
A person like Dionysus can retreat anywhere he goes...but at that time, he will die without a place to die.

In the darkness, came the boy's voice.

"You're afraid of..."

"You are afraid of Gu Changzhi."

The young man spoke in a low voice. Although he didn't open his eyes, he seemed to have penetrated all the spirits, all souls, and all thoughts of the world.

"Since you choose to follow me... you must be prepared to dedicate everything."

There was a hint of blame in his voice.

A small wisp of spirit fell on Fan Su.

It is a big mountain.

Bai Zesheng's expression was pale, and he quickly got all the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

"Don't worry...with me here, there is no need to be afraid of anyone."

The voice of Dionysus is the greatest encouragement in this world!

Bai Zesheng felt the pressure suddenly disappear.

He half-kneeled on the floor of the wooden house, mustered up his courage, and looked up in the darkness.

At this moment, there was another thin "young man" standing quietly beside the juvenile god's throne. Judging from his standing posture, he seemed to be a waiter serving the side of the god's throne, just like Mr. Jin, one on the left and one on the right.

"There is one thing... you need to go."
