Barrier of Light

Gu Shen sometimes wondered whether these things had been arranged by the goddess of fate in advance.

What a coincidence. What a coincidence.

It was as if someone had placed the chess pieces in the corresponding positions on the chessboard... and then there was this scene that stirred up the turmoil in the five continents, growing from small to large, and then became more grand and spectacular.

Ordinary people's "repented marriage" would not cause such a big commotion in Meng Xizhou.

This vigorous repentance of the marriage has caused quite a bit of controversy across the Five Continents, and even attracted some peers to imitate... For example, Lin Sheng, the daughter of Grand Duke Tuoyang, and Gong Zi once came back from Beizhou, and Gu Shen He said that during his trip to Beizhou and his smooth return journey, in a sense, he was also a lucky person who received "help" from the Goddess of Light.

Gu Shenxin said it was no wonder. When he was in Nagano, he could see Gu Nanfeng staring into the distance from time to time in a daze.

It turned out that the guy was missing Meng Xizhou of Xizhou.

"I can promise you to deliver the letter, but I have requirements."

Gu Shen spoke slowly.

He had understood the purpose of the goddess' visit, so he was no longer nervous and his tone became more relaxed.

"But it doesn't matter." Meng Xizhou smiled: "I ask your husband to do something, so of course I have to pay you."

This goddess of light seems to be very generous.

But Gu Shen didn't want to "ask for reward" from Meng Xizhou, firstly because he and Meng Xizhou had a good relationship now, and secondly because... Gu Nanfeng was not only Meng Xizhou's lover, but also one of his few close friends.

Gu Shen couldn't do this kind of thing.

"My request is not payment."

Gu Shen shook his head and his expression became serious: "I want to know about the 'Light Apostle's Token'."

As soon as this statement came out.

Meng Xizhou's expression was slightly startled.

She was silent for several seconds, as if she was thinking about how to respond... and finally she just said softly: "Mr. Xiao Gu, it seems that you have a really good relationship with Nanfeng, and you actually know about the 'Apostle of Light'."

This matter is top secret.

Logically speaking, apart from Song Ci herself, the only people who know Song Ci's true apostle identity should be her, Gu Nanfeng, and the Lord God of Guangming City.

"It's a long story."

Gu Shen did not explain in detail, but gently reminded: "Don't forget my relationship with Crow."

"I see……"

Meng Xizhou was very smart and understood everything at once. She didn't ask any more questions, but said frankly: "Yes, this Apostle of Light token is what I asked for for Gu Nanfeng."

really……

Gu Shen sighed in his heart.

In this way, it all makes sense. When Gu Nanfeng left Beizhou, he did not return to East Continent immediately, but went to West Continent to seek the "Apostle's Token." Such an illusory goal, if there is no goddess to guide him, it may not be possible at all. It can't be done.

"What's the problem?"

Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked: "This is not such a shameful secret, at least for Xizhou... it is like this."

indeed.

Xizhou never needs to hide from others!

Because the power of the God of Light is still strong and can still protect the City of Light.

On the contrary, Dongzhou needed to borrow such a "token" to create the illusion that Gu Changzhi was still alive.

"Lord Shenzuo and Mr. Gu Changzhi were masters and disciples back then, and we had a very deep friendship..." Meng Xizhou said softly: "I begged repeatedly before I got this 'token', and I have never mentioned it to outsiders since then. , keeping it a secret from everyone.”

Gu Shen's expression was a little moved.

Meng Xizhou... did not let down Gu Nanfeng.

She regretted her marriage, borrowed tokens, and was imprisoned in Guangming City... She had sacrificed a lot.

Even Chu Ling, who was watching from the other side of the spiritual sea, couldn't help but speak: "I think... you must help deliver this letter."

Now after talking with him, her impression of Meng Xizhou has greatly changed.

"I...have no problem."

Gu Shen said seriously: "Leave that letter to me, and I will deliver it to Nanfeng."

Meng Xizhou took out a gold-gilded envelope.

In the past, carriages and horses were very slow and letters were long, but now... under the [Deep Sea] link, if you want to see someone, even if you are thousands of miles away, you can meet them in just a few seconds.

But for the Goddess of Light, the person she wants to see is further away than the end of the world.

The highest seat holds supreme authority in the [Deep Sea].

What she wants to say and what she leaves behind will be clearly investigated.

In this case, only "writing a letter"... is the safest option.

"The south wind personally blows up."

Meng Xizhou's envelope had these four words written in beautiful small seal script. Gu Shen folded it carefully, then put it inside his clothes and carried it with him... When he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have really become a postman specializing in delivering letters. , came to Beizhou, sent one letter, and then received another one. Unfortunately, Mr. Gu Changzhi specially told him that the "third letter" left to him by his old teacher needs to wait until he becomes stronger before personally sending it to Guangming. In front of the throne of God.

Otherwise, the "Goddess of Light" in front of me would be an excellent messenger.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gu."

After seeing Gu Shen accept the letter, Meng Xizhou thanked him softly.

Suddenly, she spoke again.

"By the way...there's one more thing."

Following these words, Meng Xizhou looked into Gu Shen's eyes.

This time, the two people's eyes met... A ray of light slowly rippled out from the eyes as clear as a lake.

"My brother Meng Xiao died in the Dolu River."

Meng Xizhou's voice was very soft. Her words had no intention. It was neither a question nor a test. She just repeated the news in a slow tone that everyone in Beizhou knew.

Guangming City has issued an obituary.

The Holy Inquisitor has set off overnight and is heading towards Central City.

But the rippling light in her eyes seemed to be able to point directly to people's hearts.

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "This seems to be no longer a secret."

The first time this gaze came to him, he subconsciously wanted to dodge...but then he realized the error of this idea. If he really had nothing to do with this matter, then he should learn to calm down.

Just like the lake in Meng Xizhou's eyes.

The ultimate peace.

After a moment, Gu Shen asked, "So?"

"You're right... This is no longer a secret. Everyone knows that Meng Xiao is dead."

Meng Xizhou smiled softly.

Her voice was a little sad and a little pitiful, as if she was lamenting and remembering the passing of this life, but it was just lamenting and remembering.

"It's just that he is the blessed son of the City of Light after all. The Holy Inquisitor cannot allow the death of the blessed son... just like they cannot allow the existence of 'light' to be shaken by darkness."

"The great knight of the City of Light, 'Jia Wei', is a holy judge with a very strong spiritual power."

Meng Xizhou looked at Gu Shen and said word by word: "If you are stared at, just like just now, don't dodge or panic... This is Beizhou. The Holy Inquisitor wants to take action and needs evidence."

What is this?

Is this another kind of temptation?

Gu Shen said slowly: "Thank you, Miss Meng, for reminding me, but Gu doesn't quite understand."

"very good."

Meng Xizhou nodded, very satisfied with this answer.

She said nothing more and turned to leave.

"Miss Meng... I have a question." At this moment, Gu Shen called out to her.

Meng Xizhou paused slightly.

"Meng Xiao is your elder brother... He died in the disaster. Why didn't I see too much sadness on your face?" Gu Shen thought for two seconds and asked his question in a different way. .

His real question was, why did Meng Xizhou remind himself like this?

The previous words indicate that Meng Xizhou also knows... that among the murderers who killed Meng Xiao, he is the most "suspected" one.

"Maybe it's because... I'm really not that sad about his death."

Meng Xizhou's answer was unexpected.

She said softly: "I know my brother very well. He is not a person who will live until the end of his life... In fact, everything is like this. Fate has secretly marked the price of everything. Everyone has to pay for it." You pay the price for what you did. And this time, he overestimated his abilities, so... he died."

"If there is anything to be sad about...then it should be that I came a step too late and didn't stop him."

Chu Ling searched the database for the Beizhou itinerary of this goddess of light.

She did arrive on the day the Disaster Mission began.

And...she also made a request to see Meng Xiao, but unfortunately she came a little late and did not get to see him for the last time.

So, in fact, that day, she wanted to stop Meng Xiao and prevent him from "sending death".

After hearing this, Gu Shen fell into silence.

What the goddess said sounded very reasonable.

But...it was her brother who died.

So these words inevitably sound a bit "cold".

He watched Meng Xizhou go away with a complicated expression.

This woman made him feel a little afraid.

On the one hand, Meng Xizhou is a "lover" who has devoted countless efforts to Gu Nanfeng, and on the other hand, she seems to be a "prophet" who can see through the cause and effect of fate. Even the death of her brother cannot touch the heartstrings.

In fact, Gu Shen could probably guess why Meng Xizhou was not sad.

It's just that Meng Xiao's death did not touch her "bottom line".

If we say that there is an unshakable "bottom line" in everyone's heart.

So what is Meng Xizhou’s “bottom line”?

It seems... it seems to be the world shrouded in light, and the common people connected by the deep sea.

For such a person... Gu Shen is both in awe and fear. If one day Meng Xizhou takes charge of Beizhou Guangming and her "Pluto identity" is completely exposed, this woman may not hesitate.

There is a high probability that she will pull out the sword from the sheath and pierce and crush Pluto's chest.

Like the previous light.

Do what she thinks is right.

Banish the darkness.
