Bulwark of Light

Chapter 688 The Amnesiac Translator
The temporary base of the Gu family is now heavily guarded.

Since the "Second Explosion", outside the iron wall, the sealed objects of the "guard class" have been urgently strengthened to prevent further accidents... and the place where the most intensive patrols are now is the temporary ward built for Tsukagi.

"After the explosion, he has been in a coma."

Mr. Xue said: "The fragments of the sky sheath had a great impact. If the night watchmen of the Gu family hadn't blocked him... then he would have been dead."

Gu Shen stood in front of the bed, looking at the pale Xing Yun.

His mental power was slowly flowing on Xing Yun's body, checking the latter's injuries.

Because of the characteristics of the sky sheath.

The surge of extraordinary source quality in this guy is already so weak that it is hard to detect... As I said before, he will lose his "supernatural ability" for a long time in the future, but the greatest luck is that he keeps it. life.

Looking at the unconscious man on the sickbed, Gu Shen's eyes were a bit complicated.

According to my previous conjecture——

The giant carrying the "fire seed" is probably just an apostle who received a great gift of divine power, not the traveler himself.

That big guy, the "true purpose" of coming to this world cannot be found after his death and dao disappear... No one can read its true spirit from such a top life body, not even Her Majesty the Queen. You can only see what it sees, not what it thinks.

If it's not a traveler, who is?

He used the blazing fire to carefully feel the spirit of the tomb ghost... He could still see the spiritual sea of ​​the tomb ghost before, but the fragments of the sheath directly "purified" him.

Tsuka Oni's mind was clean and empty, like a mortal who had never activated his extraordinary power.

He saw nothing.

"How long will this situation last?" Gu Shen asked.

"He may sleep for several days... You are also a superman of the spiritual system, so you should know how dangerous and serious it is to come into direct contact with the sky sheath." Mr. Xue was silent for a moment, and said: "The medical staff at the temporary base With limited abilities, we can only guarantee that Tsuka Oni will wake up, but we cannot guarantee that his mental strength will maintain the previous level."

This guy has the attribute of "vehicle killer".

After falling asleep, she is destined to receive treatment only at the Gu family's temporary base.

After this incident, Gu Nanfeng has already invited the best medical practitioners in Nagano, set off overnight, and rushed to Xuelong——

The ancient text of "Heaven Sheath" needs to be deciphered by Tsukagi!
The Gu family will do their best to treat him!
"I understand."

Gu Shen nodded. The encirclement and suppression plan has not yet started. As one of the eight leaders of this plan, he only needs to accept the "order" of Mr. Gu. Before the official battle begins, he decided to stay in the snow cage and wait for the grave Awakening of ghosts.

He has a lot to say and wants to talk to Tsuka Oni.

……

……

In the temporary base, a training room was prepared for Gu Shen.

It is also intimately equipped with the latest "simulated combat cabin" developed by the Beizhou Subsurface Research Institute, but Gu Shen's mind is not on cultivation, he always feels that the second explosion of the sky sheath is a bit weird.

"There must be a reason for everything, but I really can't figure out what is the reason for the second explosion of the sky sheath."

Gu Shen's spirit entered the deep water area, and the code condensed for a while, and he came to Zero Unity, and sighed with some distress.

At this moment, Chu Ling was sitting cross-legged, three feet off the ground, just floating in the mid-air of the carriage, her hair full of waterfalls, like seaweed swaying on the bottom of the sea.

"Crash..."

Hundreds of millions of data spread at her fingertips and gathered into hundreds of screens. This is the appearance of the source code with full computing power and full load.

Chu Ling's eyes flicked across countless screens, as if he had read thousands of lines of messages in a second.

In fact, the action of "eye scanning" is meaningless, just like a loading cutscene, the deep water area is deeply connected with her spirit, even if she closes her eyes, she can "quickly read" the data.

While processing the data, she responded softly: "You are right, everything has a reason... So when you eliminate all impossible options, the one left, no matter how absurd it is, must be the 'truth' '."

"Exclude all impossible options..."

Gu Shen stood in the carriage in a daze.

An "object" of the level of the sky sheath can't even shake the giant who is suspected to be a traveler. How could it have a secondary explosion?

"It is actually not difficult to explore the truth of this incident."

Chu Ling's voice sounded slowly: "First of all, do you think that the explosion of the sky sheath was caused by a long reaction inside the stone shell due to the age, or because...someone summoned it? "

"I think it's the latter."

Gu Shen only thought for a second before giving his own answer.

Less than a year away from drawing the sword.

This can no longer be described as a "coincidence".

He believes that this is most likely to be "calling"...

"Regardless of identity, what kind of person do you think is qualified to 'summon' the sky sheath?" Chu Ling continued to ask.

"If you want to summon and produce an explosion of this magnitude, you need at least the power of 'fire seed'." Gu Shen frowned, "At least it must be an apostle, and an apostle under the condition of 'God's presence'."

In the state of God's presence, the apostle can burst out unparalleled terrifying divine power in a few short moments——

If it is really necessary to screen out "suspicious people", then all the apostles of the gods in Wuzhou must not let them go.

Theoretically, they all have the strange power to trigger this vision!

"So, is there any here?"

Chu Ling continued to ask.

"here……"

Gu Shen fell into short thoughts.

If it was three years ago, it would not be impossible for the apostle to cause chaos in the sky sheath.

Now, it is impossible.

Dongzhou is the territory of Dou Zhan Sanctuary!

Once the apostle who carries the "Will of the Outer Continent God" sets foot on this land, he will be captured by Dou Zhan's divine sense and expelled!
And he knew very well that Mr. Bai Shu had just attained the Godhood not long ago, and there is not yet any apostle under Dou Zhan's command... so the answer is obvious.

He murmured, "Here... there are no apostles."

Chu Ling said: "Since there are no apostles here, there is only one possibility left. The summoning of the 'Sky Sheath' was done by God."

"..."

Gu Shen fell into silence.

"Since this is what God did, is there still a need for you to forcibly explore?"

Chu Ling asked calmly: "This is not a puzzle that can be solved within your ability, at least not at present."

"It's well-founded and convincing."

Gu Shen sighed, this time he came to Linglingyao, he originally wanted to ask Chu Ling to solve his doubts.

In the end, the purpose of solving puzzles was indeed accomplished.

The source code is really awesome.

The perspective of solving problems is different from that of ordinary people.

As long as you don't think about the problem, then the problem ceases to exist...

But think about it carefully, Chu Ling is right, this is beyond the scope of his own ability, no matter how to think about it, it is meaningless, if this is really what "God" did, then Dong Zhou should be the one to do it. The tallest one has to worry about it.

Leave those details aside.

The "secondary explosion" of the sky sheath still caused some doubts in Gu Shen's heart.

For such a major accident, the top executives in Nagano, such as the heads of the five families, did not have the urge to investigate the case, and they did not even send an "investigation team".

What everyone has done is just re-patching.

Except for myself, no one seemed to investigate the root cause.

……

……

For the next three days, the tundra prison was spent in peace.

Gu Shen retreated in his room, patiently waiting for Mr. Gu's "combat order" and the news of the ghost's awakening... Although this place does not have as many "disordered sources" as the shrine mountain, which can be absorbed by the fire, but It is also a good practice place.

After entering the eighth layer of the deep sea.

Gu Shen has been thinking about his next step, how to move forward.

The ability of "fire of vitality" is extremely against the sky.

For now.

It can set things right and give life to dead things. Even if it is a "shrine black flower" that has completely lost its order, the fire of vitality can revive it and feed it back to itself. It is just some simple minor injuries that do not require the treatment of the sealed object of holy light. It heals itself quickly.

If he had comprehended the "Fire of Vitality" during the battle with Meng Xiao.

Then pulling the [Candle Extinguishment] big bow, the damage received can also be recovered quickly... Of course, the level of strength is not enough, and the internal injury caused by forcing a big killer higher than the current level will continue to add up.

But at least, I can pull [Extinguish Candle] twice more!
Judging from the original situation, if the mobilization situation is suitable, it is not impossible to shoot Meng Xiao directly!
only……

The stronger the embryo, the greater the price it needs to pay for growth!

In the future, if you want the "Fire of Vitality" to condense into a great field, you must have a very solid foundation... Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. This step is not an epiphany, but a sudden inspiration can make up for it.

On the eighth layer of the deep sea, the "embryo of the domain" is condensed.

The center of Gu Shen's eyebrows is the source of the blazing fire. Starting from the source, the fire of vitality needs to cover the whole body first, and then release it outward...

The ninth layer should cover the whole body.

If he wants to break through the third level and achieve his own "fourth level", then he needs to fill up the "spiritual sea" in his body, and this is where Gu Shen has a headache.

He surpassed the boundary three times!
The strength of the spiritual sea is comparable to that of a fourth-order transcendent.

There are many extraordinary people who broke through the tenth layer of the deep sea, and the scale of the spiritual sea is not as strong as Gu Shen!
He wants to fill it up.

It's really... too difficult.

This difficulty can be said to be ten times, dozens of times that of other fellow travelers!
If you want to "promote", then there are only two options: one is to maintain the quality of the "fire of vitality", accumulate slowly, step by step, steadily and steadily, fill the "fire of vitality" with the spiritual lake, and complete the natural promotion.

The second is to give up the purity of the "fire of vitality".

It is too slow and too difficult to refine the pure "vital fire".

As long as the "field embryo"'s ability origin fills the spiritual sea, it can be regarded as promoted to the "fourth rank"!

This is why many geniuses have realized the extremely powerful "embryo", but there is no "field" to match it... It is too difficult to advance from the third level to the fourth level, so they chose to compromise and use a slightly weaker one. The power of transformation, to replace part of the "embryo" of oneself.

There are many extraordinary people in this world who are willing to practice slowly.

But filling the spiritual sea is not something that can be filled if you are willing to wait... Some people spent a long time, and after reaching [-]% of their practice, they found that the last [-]% was their "limit". No matter what, they couldn't continue to break through. Under such circumstances, they have no choice but to downgrade and choose the most unwilling way to break through.

In this case, it is very helpless.

After being downgraded and breaking the realm, they will not be stronger than those extraordinary people who are willing to give up a long time ago just because they have practiced for a few more years... A rich background means a strong strength. This principle has been fully confirmed at the fourth level.

The spiritual sea will continue to expand.

Those extraordinary people who have been promoted to the fourth level have a huge spiritual sea and complete "domain" power. Some geniuses among them have already found a new way, developed the second ability of the domain, and realized another step in strength leap.

And those who are the worst, after staying in the fourth level for a long time, after expanding the spiritual sea to the limit, the strength they display is far superior to those extraordinary people who are stuck in the third level, pursuing perfection but failing.

Pursue perfection, once successful, you will get generous rewards.

Can fail...

Fate will not be moved by your persistence and give you extra rewards. On the contrary, all persistence that ends in "failure" can be called stupid and stubborn.

This is why, many third-level transcendents have clearly realized the top-level "field embryo", but when they reach the ninth level of cultivation, they find that it is too difficult for them to gather the top-level field, so they choose to give up.

They would rather step into the fourth step smoothly and then seek a stable "breakthrough", rather than make wrong choices and waste time in vain.

"Now the promotion to the 'Fourth Tier' is still too far away, I don't need to worry at all..."

Gu Shen sat quietly all night, trying to understand many things.

He doesn't need to rush to improve his strength.

Because of the "good luck" that Mr. Gu Changzhi gave early, the "Pure Land Realm" in his spiritual sea, after absorbing countless sources, completed the most basic accumulation and directly reached the top "Complete Realm".

He already possessed countless things that Tier [-] could only dream of.

If you want to go one step further, reach perfection, and control "birth and death", then Chihuo cannot lose to Dahan.

He needs a second top field.

For Vitality Fire, it is best to be able to maintain the top quality and complete the promotion.

"When I was promoted to the eighth floor, my spiritual sea has already expanded once... After being promoted to the ninth floor, I have to expand it again..." Gu Shen murmured: "Because of the three transcendences, I have reached the spiritual power scale of the ninth floor. It is likely to be equivalent to the top extraordinary person on the No.11 layer of the deep sea. If Blazing Huo wants to condense a complete domain, it needs to fill the spiritual sea of ​​the eleventh layer of the deep sea..."

This is really a huge project.

Even Gu Shen didn't have much confidence that he would be able to become "perfect".

At this point, I realized that the "destiny" is really fair - because of the gift from the throne, I realized the transcendence three times, which is considered to be a shortcut.

But if you want to go one step further and own a second "Top Domain", the price you need to pay is dozens of times that of others!
Even if Gu Shen took a step back and lowered the purity of the "flame of vitality", he would still have to fill up the extremely large "eleven layers of spiritual sea in the deep sea"!
This predicament is likely to make people trapped in the third level for the rest of their lives.

But to Gu Shen, it was not a blow.

"Since there is no other choice, there is no need to worry." He took a deep breath, "No matter how anxious you are, this road needs to be walked slowly."

Others are taking the path of practice.

But he is on the road to becoming a god!
How can it be easy to become a god?

……

……

Just three days passed in a flash.

Gu Shen was in retreat, waiting for the first news.

"Boom, boom."

A night watchman knocked on the door.

The voice of the night watchman was very cautious, and he said cautiously: "Mr. Gu... Good news, Mr. Xing Yun has woken up, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Wake up? So soon?"

Gu Shen glanced at the time.

It's only been three days... He didn't expect Tsukagui to wake up so early.

After all, it is not easy to recover from being seriously injured by the stabbing of the sky sheath.

Gu Shen quickly quit the meditation.

When he came outside the Gu family base, he was instantly sobered up by the cold wind.

Gu Shen asked casually: "How is Tsukagui doing now?"

"Mr. Xing Yun..."

The night watchman beside him had a strange look on his face, he hesitated in his speech, and finally said helplessly, "You'll know when you go and see."

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

People are awake, what else can happen?

It wasn't until he walked to the window of the ward and looked at the sickly man with blank eyes on the bed that he realized something was wrong... The familiar look in Tsukagi's eyes disappeared at this moment.

This guy was originally the kind of person who would be silly and cheerful no matter what kind of bad luck he encountered.

"Mr. Gu, after he woke up, he has been sitting like this..."

The night watchman sighed, and said: "Ask him anything, but he doesn't respond, and the prepared food is there, and he doesn't eat it..."

Gu Shen patted the night watchman on the shoulder, and comforted him softly: "Okay, don't worry. Everything is up to me, you can go back with peace of mind, and have a good rest."

These night watchmen, guarding in front of the haunted house, have not closed their eyes for a long time.

Their spirits are a little tired.

After dismissing the others, Gu Shen arranged a simple "shielding pattern" in ancient Chinese, and then entered the ward, but the man sitting on the bed didn't look at him at all.

He opened the door, closed the door, sat down... None of these actions caught the ghost's attention.

Tsuka Oni just looked out of the window in a wooden way.

There is nothing there, only the snow fluttering like goose feathers in the tundra.

Gu Shen knew that during the explosion, the young man named "Gu Qiang" used his body to withstand the violent impact in order to protect the ghost... and finally died.

This incident must have had a great impact on Tsukashi.

"Gu Qiang's funeral has been arranged properly..."

Gu Shen sat beside Zhong Gui's bed and said in a low voice: "Nanfeng took his family to Nagano, he is not an unknown person, I know, you must feel guilty for his death..."

He couldn't do anything but comfort in a low voice.

Can say half.

The pale patient on the bed slowly turned his head, his dull eyes fell on Gu Shen's face, his pupils slowly shrank and then enlarged, as if he was adjusting the distance of sight, and seemed to be adjusting his sight distance. What to identify.

There was a trace of pain in Toka Oni's eyes, and then he pressed his forehead, and the veins on the back of his palm and temple bulged.

after a few seconds.

He raised his head, eyes full of bewilderment.

Zhong Gui paused every word, and asked in confusion, "Who is Gu Qiang?"

"Gu Qiang... is the night watchman who saved you." Gu Shen's voice was complicated.

It was different from what he expected.

Tsuka Oni didn't show a "suddenly enlightened" look, his eyes were still blank.

He asked a second question: "What is a Night's Watch?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the man sitting on the bed began to ask questions, and these questions burst out one after another.

"Where am I now..."

"who are you?"

"The people who just left, who are they?"

"Also, I... who am I?"

Gu Shen opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, these questions caught him off guard, and he had to fall into a long silence.

He took another look at the confused guy sitting on the bed.

In the eyes, the loss of brilliance is not necessarily because of sadness.

There is another possibility.

He even lost his own "personality". When the memory dissipated like running water, this person returned to the original state. Of course he would not be sad, he would not have any emotions, only confusion.

Gu Shen stretched out a hand.

Tsuka Oni didn't hide.

Gu Shen's palm was pressed against his forehead, and the blazing fire silently dipped into it... Tsukagui's mental sea was as empty as the result of the last inspection.

It turned out that fate had reminded me earlier that this guy lost not only his extraordinary ability but also the most precious memory in the severe injury of the "Sky Sheath".

He wasn't lying.

He doesn't remember anything.

Gu Shen explained patiently: "Your name is 'Xing Yun', and your nickname is 'Zhong Gui', and you are currently recovering from injuries at the temporary base of 'Gu Family'. My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Shen. Those people just now are The Night's Watch, they are responsible for your safety."

This short sentence, for a person with amnesia, still contains a lot of information.

Tsuka Oni was stunned for a while.

He thought for a long time, pointed at himself, and asked in a daze, "I...are healing?"

"Not long ago, you had an accident." Gu Shen said, "There are many places on your body that are still covered with bandages...you'd better not get out of bed without the doctor's permission."

Tsukashi looked down at himself.

The fragments of the sky sheath that hit him were small and not fatal, but they still pierced many places on his body. Now these "stone chips" have been cleaned up, and there are dozens of bandages on his body .

Fortunately for Gu Shen, Zuka Ghost still remembered something in his mind.

At least, he didn't ask himself what a "bandage" was.

"Am I... a very important person?"

Tsuka Oni became nervous, "You, all of you...all of you are protecting me outside?"

"Probably." Gu Shen smiled and said, "You can be regarded as a very good 'translator'..."

"Translator……"

Tsuka Oni knew the meaning of this word, this is not a powerful position, he let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not a really important person..."

"You seem very happy?" Gu Shen was a little surprised. After this guy lost his memory, his brain circuit seemed to be different.

"yes……"

Tsukagui covered his head, his voice was hoarse, intermittently: "I can't remember anything, I just remember... I seem to have hurt someone. If I am a very important person, the current situation must be very bad."

If amnesia.

He would rather be a miscellaneous fish.

The world works just as well without him.

"..."

Gu Shen's eyes became complicated, it was the first time he had seen such a ghost.

He stood up and looked at the poor patient meaningfully.

After getting up and going outside, Gu Shen dialed Gu Nanfeng's communicator.

"Xiao Gu, I heard that the ghost of Tsukasa woke up, how is he doing?"

Before Gu Shen could speak, Gu Nanfeng asked a question with concern.

After Tsukagui woke up, the night watchman at the temporary base reported the situation to him immediately.

"He's not doing well..."

Gu Shen stood outside the window, and the snow was falling heavily. He looked back at the skinny patient in the room with a dazed expression. He looked at each other, then immediately retracted, and sighed softly: "He has lost his memory."

"Amnesia...may be a side effect of the 'Sky Sheath'."

Gu Nanfeng pondered for a while, and said: "It's good that people are fine, as long as they wake up, it's better than anything else."

He was relieved.

"However, can you estimate his recovery time?"

Gu Nanfeng paused for a moment, and said with emotion: "It just happened to be amnesia... It's really a headache."

Many people in the Gu family are looking forward to the ghost of the tomb being able to decipher the "ancient text" in the core area of ​​the scorpion... Especially after the second explosion, this "sword of stone" has caused a lot of controversy in the deep water area.

Many people believe that deciphering the ancient text at the bottom of the celestial sheath will give them a chance to understand the true origin of this "exotic object".

Maybe, this is really the will left by the "old world"!

A traveler is just an "activator"!
Now, the ghost of the tomb has lost his memory, and the task of deciphering the ancient script of the sky sheath is about to be delayed.

"I can't estimate it." Gu Shen said frankly: "He may lose his memory for a long time, and the deciphering time of the sky sheath needs to be extended further."

"Ok."

Gu Nanfeng accepted the status quo, he paused, and reminded: "The timing of your call is just right, the old man has completed the task assignment, the task of encircling and suppressing criminals has just progressed, and some 'young leaders' have already started to act. About your The task will be sent to the mailbox soon. If there are no accidents, we will meet soon."

"receive."

After hanging up the communication, Gu Shen went back to the house.

Now that Zuka Oni is awake and confirming his safety, there is no need for him to wait any longer... In this situation, the words he wants to say are meaningless.

Gu Shen was going to simply say goodbye and leave.

"That...Little Gu?"

Tsukashi's voice made him pause.

This guy yelled out a familiar name, but it wasn't because he had recovered his memory, it was just because the name was close.

At this moment, he was clutching the bed sheet, a little shy, and asked nervously: "You just went out to make a phone call, I heard something, you seem to be chatting with a very powerful big shot, you... you are not going to drive me away, are you?"

Because of amnesia, it is completely worthless.

If you are not an important person, you will not delay things.

If he is not an important person, he may be kicked out!

"..."

Gu Shen looked at the cautious expression on Zhong Gui's face, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

Although this guy has lost his memory, the blood flowing in his bones is still the same.

Instinct is still vigilant as always.

"Live well, don't worry too much, eat three meals a day."

He patted Zuka Ghost on the shoulder, and said softly: "The people here are very..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Shen's voice stopped abruptly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
Before I entered the house, I obviously deliberately arranged the ancient prose patterns of the Qingzhong Cemetery. The only function of these patterns is to block the sound and create a quiet environment.

So how did this guy hear the sound of going out to make a phone call just now?
His expression immediately became serious, and he frowned and asked, "You just said that you heard my call outside?"

"yes……"

Zuka Gui's face was full of innocence, seeing Gu Shen's expression, he stepped back nervously.

"You can't blame me."

He pointed to the direction where the "ancient text pattern" floated outside the door, and said in a soft voice: "If you improve the words you wrote earlier... then the effect of 'shielding the sound' will be better, then I might not be able to hear you by then."

These words made Gu Shen's expression extremely complicated.

He hastily took out a blueprint in ancient script from his pocket, and waved it in front of Tsukagui.

"Do you understand?"

Tsuka Oni blinked, and said in a low voice, "I understand... right?"

Ancient prose can only be understood, not expressed in words.

Therefore, the communication between Gu Shen and Zhong Gui can only be advanced in this slightly thin way, because even if Zhong Gui understands it, he can't say it... Then Gu Shen took out another invalid card that smeared his spirit. Waste paper, the "words" on this are his random smears, and he is also a "student" who has practiced thousands of ancient characters. This character looks like an ancient character, but it doesn't actually have any meaning.

He asked again: "Now, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Tsukagui became nervous again, and asked, "Should I understand this word?"

"You don't have to worry about that. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. You just need to tell the truth and express your true feelings." Gu Shen carefully guided, carefully tested, and asked: "You see this blueprint, look at it. What do you look like?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Tsukashi was silent for several seconds.

After Gu Shen nodded.

He scratched his head and answered very frankly, but subconsciously said the usual words in his subconscious before: "I look like... relying on the answer."

"..."

Gu Shen fell silent.

He took out a few more ancient Chinese drawings, mixed with his own ghost symbols, and conducted some tests.

After the test.

He came outside the house again, dialed the communicator, and said to Gu Nanfeng over there: "The latest news, one good news, one bad news."

"Listen to the bad first."

"Bad news, Tsuka Oni has indeed lost his memory, and he doesn't know how long it will take to recover."

"What about the good news?"

"The good news is that he hasn't completely lost his memory... This guy seems to only have information related to 'Ancient Text' left in his head."
