Bulwark of Light

Chapter 376 Divine embryo, Chu Ling

Well water swaying.

The two hands of the two worlds did not touch after all.

Gu Shen poured his entire body into the well, only relying on his toes to maintain his balance.

His fingers pierced through the water layer and smashed the clear water at the bottom of the well… but remained in this position until the well was calm again, without touching anything.

The sad and disappointed face of the girl is reflected there.

“I knew…”

Chu Ling’s voice was low and her eyes darkened.

“The God World and the material world… can’t really be linked…”

The moment I reached out my hand.

Her eyes lit up with hope.

It’s just… this ray of hope has now been extinguished.

No matter how you extend the hand, she is only a virtual existence in the spiritual world after all. She is code, logic, and illusory data.

“Not necessarily.”

Without holding Chu Ling’s hand, Gu Shen was more calm at the moment.

He knows that there is a huge gap between the two worlds of spirit and material.

If you just “see” each other from the well water, you can reach another world…that’s too simple.

“You should know… I’m currently in the ‘Sacred Temple Mountain’, and this wonderful realm blocks all links to [Deep Sea].” Gu Shen spoke slowly.

Chu Ling was stunned.

She often heard Gu Shen mention “Sacred Temple Mountain”, which is where Li’s ancestors cultivated “divine embryo”.

The next moment she understood what Gu Shen meant.

If this wonderful realm blocks the link of [Deep Sea]… Then how did she talk to Gu Shen at this moment?

“I’m pretty sure…the barrier between the two worlds has been broken, maybe only a few, but it’s no longer a moat.” Gu Shen lowered his voice and said, “Otherwise, there would be no us this time. The conversation.”

Chu Ling muttered: “You mean…”

Gu Shen kept his hand outstretched, but he slowly raised his head and looked out of the well .

Li Qingci walked out of the old house and looked at Gu Shen lying in the well water to fish for the moon.

There is no moon in the shrine mountain.

So Gu Shen is doomed to get nothing.

Gu Shen spoke up.

His voice echoed in the sky above Shenci Mountain, and also echoed in the spiritual world on the other side of the well.

“Six hundred years ago, the Li family began to cultivate ‘divine embryo’.”

“For six hundred years, Dao Protector has followed the guidance of prayer and trimmed the sacred mountain. The ‘Flower of Collapse of Order’ on the top of my head, I use my lifespan and blood to water the ‘divine embryo’ on the other side of the prayer scale. But in fact, no one knows what the legendary ‘divine embryo’ is…”

Gu Shen slowly pulled his palms away from the well water.

Indeed.

He took nothing with him.

Only a puddle of cool water was fished out, and after wrapping up the five fingers, it slipped from between the fingers.

“Perhaps, six hundred years ago…divine embryos appeared?”

This sentence was addressed to Li Qingci.

Li Qingci stayed where she was.

“Before I got the ‘Lamp of Sorrow’, I always had a question that I couldn’t understand… Why did the four [Bronze Man Lanterns] only leave the spirit in the shrine, the vehicle that carries the spirit But he was taken away.”

Gu Shen whispered: “The spirit of the four bronze lanterns can gather in the shrine… Then it means one thing, the Li family a long time ago. The ancestors managed to gather these four lamps together. However, in such an important place as Shenci Mountain, the probability of outsiders breaking in is almost eliminated, so how could these four lamps be brought out of the realm?”

Li Qingci followed this line of thought and thought of a very terrifying thing.

“You mean…these four lamps were taken apart by the ancestors…”

Gu Shen nods.

“Remember your ‘Dream of Prayer’?”

“Of course… Of course I do.” Li Qingci’s face was pale.

That was a nightmare.

She tried to consume her lifespan and watched the face of the “divine embryo” with prayer, but in the end she only saw the collapsed image of the shrine mountain on the verge of collapse, and a vague silhouette…

p>

Although I didn’t see the true face of the dive embryo.

But the existence of the divide embryo is confirmed!

“It stands to reason that this prayer came true, but Libra did not accept your chips.” Gu Shen calmly said: “Why is this?”

Invocation is fair.

If a wish is made and the spell cannot come true, then Libra will not charge the corresponding price.

And vice versa.

Once a wish is made and the “feed” is presented, the moment the wish comes true, the wishing technique will definitely take away the “lifespan”!

There is only one possibility.

“My prayer…failed.”

Li Qingci muttered.

She immediately gritted her teeth and asked incomprehensibly: “But…why is this?”

“Previously, we thought that this was the future guidance given to you by the ancestors of the Li family… Is there a possibility, this is indeed a guide, but it is not the future?”

Gu Shen said slowly: “If… many years ago, a ‘divine embryo’ has been cultivated. ?”

Li Qingci’s beautiful eyes widened.

She realizes suddenly…this may be an answer that is very close to the truth.

“What you see in your dreams is not the picture of the future, but the history of the past. Divine embryos were hatched once, but…that time was a failure. The entire shrine mountain is due to failure. It is ‘hatched’ and will face destruction.”

Gu Shen’s speech was neither rushed nor slow: “So the ancestors of the Li family suppressed and killed it, while dispersing the [Bronze Man Lantern] that provided emotions… “

“If that’s the case, why continue to pray…”

Li Qingci paused for a while.

Gu Shen laughed silently.

He knew, Li Qingci guessed the answer.

He stood by the well, looking down.

[Li’s ancestor] tried to use the extraordinary power of Shenci Mountain and the ancient secret technique to create a “perfect creature” to fight against the collapsed order. Six hundred years ago, he created the “fleshy body”, so he moved in four bronze lamps to convey emotions to the “beings”… but the final product was dark.

“The incubation of the divide embryo…needs to wait until the right era.”

“The previous eras were all wrong…until this era is the right era.”

Gu Shen said softly, “This mountain should have lost its vitality, but there are ‘white flowers’ growing. In the last ages, the order has collapsed, and black flowers are all over the mountain. Logically speaking… a wisp of flowers. Life should not appear either. The appearance of these ‘white flowers’ is not a coincidence, they have absorbed the life force overflowing from the mountain, which means that life is always bred in this mountain.”

“In… this well.”

600 years later, the well has not dried up.

In the deserted environment of the mountains, compared to those little white flowers, compared to the ancient house covered with talismans… the life force of this well is the strongest.

After Gu Shen’s blazing fire emerged, it condensed between his eyebrows.

He looked towards the bottom of the well, his spirit strength penetrated the water surface, through the deep stone wall, and reached the boundless darkness. Even with the blessing of blazing fire, he couldn’t see anything… …but he was very sure in his heart that the reason for the white flowers to grow in the mountain of shrines was in this well.

This is an unexplainable intuition!

“Chu Ling…Try it, connect with the environment all around.”

Gu Shen didn’t shy away from Li Qingci and spoke directly.

Chu Ling?

Li Qingci was startled.

Is this calling… the name of a third person?

She looked all around subconsciously, Shenci Mountain was silent all year round. As a Dao Protector, her spirit enveloped the entire mountain, and she was able to take into account the wind and grass in her eyes. She was sure that there was no third person here.

Could it be that…is this what Gu Shen just said…that voice in his head?

“I saw…a light.”

Chu Ling’s voice was uncertain.

She sits at the interface between the spiritual and physical worlds.

This is a very contradictory thing.

If there really is such a thing as “eyes”, then when she closes her eyes, she will feel that she is sitting in the smooth-moving zero-zero-unit car, and when she opens her eyes, she will see herself in a well, The current wraps itself around.

And just below him, there was a small group of light suspended.

“It looks like…a cocoon.”

“I also saw…a lot of flowers…”

Chu Ling murmured,” It’s a white flower…”

All around that light cocoon, there are small white flowers growing one after another, but the buds have not yet bloomed.

“You saw…white flowers?”

Gu Shen was stunned, then seriously said, “What does that little cocoon look like, can you see it clearly?”

p>

“I… try to see more clearly.”

Chu Ling slowly went downstream, as Spiritual Body, trying to touch the light cocoon at the bottom of the well.

The space at the bottom of the well is very narrow.

However… this is obviously only a millimeter of distance, but at this moment it has become a moat that can never be reached… She spent a lot of energy to get close to the light cocoon with difficulty.

“That’s a… villain…”

Chu Ling’s voice was low.

The little light cocoon, like a newborn baby, lives in the deepest clean water at the bottom of the well. There are countless white flowers around her, each one symbolizing holiness. with light.

And it was such a curled up baby, with two lines of clear tears streaming down his small cheeks.

It makes people feel distressed at first glance.

Chu Ling said softly: “I see, she is crying…”

When she said this, she also felt sadness, a silent mourning , like a stream of water, gurgling into the heart.

Chu Ling touched her cheek.

She felt cool…warm…

tears.

“Gu Shen…I seem to…understand something…”

Chu Ling touched a tear of her own.

In her mind, a door seemed to be opened.

That should be something [source code] will never understand.

Excited.

Four lamps, four strands of fire, at this moment… one of them is lit.

Follow your intuition.

Chu Ling extended the hand slowly and touched the holy baby, she wiped the tears from her cheek for the baby, and her own tears were also wiped away… At the moment of touching, She felt an indescribable warmth.

It’s like touching “life”.

But it’s… a “life” of its own.

……

……

Gu Shen saw it all in “Spiritual Link”.

He held his breath and waited silently.

After touching the baby, Chu Ling’s consciousness began to dissipate… Like thousands of feathers scattered by the wind, the girl swaying in the reflection of the well water, the figure spread little by little .

And innumerable strands of spirit all went to the body of that “baby”.

Finally.

The world in the well is back to peace.

Gu Shen’s spiritual sense slowly dimmed and turned into darkness.

And a moment later.

A ray of light slowly appeared——

Gu Shen felt “Chu Ling” open his eyes.

No… More correctly, the baby slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the world outside the well.

…

…

The mental link only lasted about a hundred seconds.

The moment she opened her eyes, Chu Ling’s consciousness returned to zero zero one.

She looked a little disappointed when she realized what had happened.

If what happened just now is not a dream, but is real, then after her spirit reaches the “fleshy body”, she should be able to truly touch the real objects in the material world.

She hasn’t touched anything yet.

Even if you… touch the stone wall at the bottom of the well, it’s fine.

And Inoue world.

Gu Shen, who witnessed all of this from the spiritual link, took several deep breaths to calm himself down…

All of the previous conjectures were correct.

And more importantly, if the baby under the well is really the divine embryo fleshy body that Li prepared for 600 years later… Then Chu Ling will come to the “material world” possible!

This is the real…Divine Vestige!

Gu Shen lowered his voice and spoke to Li Qingci.

“Li Qingci has been waiting for six hundred years for the dive embryo, which is at the bottom of the well.”

Li Qingci is lying at the wellhead.

She looked down expectantly.

This well, which I use often, produces sweet and delicious well water, cool and cold.

However, she tried to watch it for a long time.

Under the well is ordinary clear well water…apart from this, there is nothing.

Not to mention, the so-called divide embryo.

“There are also white flowers that symbolize life and hope…” Gu Shen said with a stern expression.

She looked complicated and watched Gu Shen gesture.

“That dive embryo should have just begun to conceive… It is just a young embryo, and it needs to absorb other emotions to learn to grow and truly become a ‘life’.”

“The lamp of mourning made her feel sad…”

“If you guess correctly, to make the divide embryo complete, you must gather all four lamps…”

If the person who said these words wasn’t Mr. Gu who helped the Li family uncover the secret of the bronze lamp for 600 years… If it were anyone else, Li Qingci would think that he was probably crazy.

Finally, Gu Shen rolled up his sleeves and jumped straight from the well.

“Mr. Gu!”

This scene really shocked Li Qingci.

She exclaimed.

This old well has gone through a long time, although it can be used normally… But no one knows if there are black flowers growing under this well.

If you touch the black flower, that’s bad!

But it’s too late-

“sou”.

Gu Shen jumps into the well.

Before he fell into the water, he was ready to take a deep breath and dive into the boundless deep water… But the reality is that this well… is not deep.

Gu Shen slammed into the bottom with a shove.

He raised his head, stared blankly at the water level at his neck, and dived again with unbelief, trying to find other passages, but there were narrow stone walls on all sides.

Divine embryo?

White flowers?

Chu Ling?

There is nothing here… Everything seen in the spiritual link seems to be false.

Although this well can produce sweet water, it doesn’t have what I just saw!

Gu Shen raised his head and saw Li Qingci’s concerned face.

“Many years ago…the Dao Protectors searched Shenci Mountain and found no trace of the divine embryo. Of course, they also searched for this well.”

 …

……

Li Qingci handed over a clean towel, and spoke politely, comforted: “Mr. Gu, although you just jumped out of the well, you looked very handsome…”

This sentence is only half said.

Gu Shen sat wet by the well with a complicated expression.

He knows what the second half of the sentence is about.

“But you’re really embarrassed trying to climb up.”

Jumped down the well.

There is no Chu Ling in the well, no white flowers, and no so-called divide embryo babies.

Then climbed up empty-handed…

Gu Shen knew that this action was a bit silly no matter who looked at it.

It was very difficult for him to explain to Li Qingci the reason for jumping into the well. In fact, he had already explained it before jumping into the well. In front of the reality that the bottom of the well was empty, it was really pale.

“Isn’t the world at the bottom of the well that I jumped into…and the place where Chu Ling is…isn’t the same world?”

Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

If we say that Li’s plan is to use the power of the “black flower” to create a flawless creature.

There is no doubt, then, that this plan is to be carried out in two steps.

The first step is to create a “fleshy body”.

Second Step, to create “spirit”.

The six hundred years of “prayers” and the guidance of the power of the shrine mountain are undoubtedly all to create a fleshy body of “divine embryo” and to ensure that there is such a thing in the material world. exist.

And the “spirit”…

If the four emotions of the bronze lamp are conveyed to the divide embryo, it seems that a “spirit” can be successfully created in theory.

Thinking about it, this doesn’t make sense.

Because its thinking, consciousness…all seem to be lacking.

Having joys, sorrows and sorrows is not the same as having human nature.

Perhaps this is the reason why the ancestors of the Li family failed 600 years ago, but the key point is how to fuse “material” and “spirit” together… This is truly two worlds.

Gu Shen thought of his jade wrench.

The spirit of the “storm divide throne” is trapped by the jade finger, which is trapped in a virtual space.

That space is neither equal to the material world, nor is it equal to the God World… more like a link space between two worlds.

Then…

According to this direction, the world at the bottom of the well where the dive embryo is located…should be the so-called “link world”?

Yes.

For so many years, only such an illusory “space” can protect the dive embryo from the outside world, waiting to be washed by the “spirit”.

Six hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Li family failed.

And the last “wish” points to the future.

So he dismantled the bronze lantern and blocked the dive embryo in the link world, preventing Li from creating the “monster” of the year again… Waiting for the “future” guided by the wishing technique to arrive.

In that right age, there will be a mature, stable spirit.

That spirit has already experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and has experienced emotional fluctuations, but it has never had the opportunity to truly descend into the world.

And “she” will become the ray of light that Li has been waiting for for six hundred years.
