Bulwark of Light

Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Hope is the most precious gift

Blood splashes from the deck.

In just a split second, the deck was swallowed by sea water and crushed into iron slag.

And in the next instant, the sea water was also crushed and evaporated into a billowing mist—

The storm roared.

For the man standing on the Divine Idol, until this moment, this world is completely quiet.

No more disturbing tsunami sound.

No more…noisy calls for help.

Countless water droplets fell quietly and returned to the embrace of the sea. Clouds still haunt the sky above this Sea Territory, but those thunder and lightning only dare to hide in the clouds and dare not strike again… Because compared to them, The man on the Divine Idol is the real master of this sea.

The storm divide throne watching the return of the sea and the demise of the believers.

There was no pity in his expression.

When he looked at the broken deck, and the broken life… His eyes were no different from looking at the sea.

Of course he heard the cries of those on deck, for help, and finally ecstasy.

Just listening too much.

It will feel…noisy.

People in the world always need faith to save themselves, but they ignore the essence of the problem because they are too weak.

They shouted.

So it appeared on its own.

In a sense… the shot just now is also a rescue.

Because in this sea, human life and sea water are the same thing.

After crushing, they will return to this world in another form.

……

The Divine Idol stands above the sea, the Trident held by the giant, lingering in the storm.

As the world calms down, the storm at Trident’s tip slowly dissipates.

The storm divided throne walked on top of his “huge statue”, he slowly came to where Trident was, and frowned.

Here something happened that he couldn’t understand.

Because he is in charge of the entire Nanzhou, he holds the highest voice over the Nanzhou ocean and the continent surrounded by the Nanzhou ocean.

He sent gifts to those “devout followers” who believed in him.

Silver foil tokens are gifts from God.

The Trident with inner spirit strength is a gift that only a pious enough church can get.

Every Trident has an indelible spirit strength.

In a sense, this is a kind of “protection”…and it is a kind of monitoring. The collapse of the church in Nanzhou is not a major event. Every year, the church collapses, and when Trident is broken , his spirit flew back, and in just a few minutes, he was able to witness the “lifetime” of this church.

It is possible.

A ray of spirit… disappeared.

The storm divide throne narrowed his eyes, staring at the huge Divine Idol.

Divine Idols like this, on the sea of Nanzhou, there are many others… The carvings are all of themselves, this is a tribute from the church, through these Divine Idols, he can listen in the temple Praise the whispers of the storm.

On top of this sea, he only needs a single thought, and he can reach the position of the “chanter”.

In fact.

There are too many singing voices every day all on this ocean.

At the beginning of building the statue, he was willing to enjoy these “compliments”, but when there were too many praises…it became a kind of noise.

A call on the scale just now would not attract him at all.

He came here… just to investigate what happened to that lost spirit.

Storm divide throne narrowed his eyes.

If I remember correctly…the Divine Idol under him is a tribute from the “Evening Bell Church”.

As a gift in return, the spirit in that rod of Trident should have had a deep connection with this Divine Idol…but at this moment, it has completely lost contact. There is no doubt that his own spirit strength lost.

Related memories of the “Evening Bell Church” popped up in his mind… It was really an unremarkable small church, there was almost nothing worth noting, and the only thing that was worth paying attention to was… half a year ago The Church of the Evening Bell dedicated an ancient slate to its shrine, which is said to have been brought back from the Eastern Continent tundra, but no one has been able to decipher the contents of the slate.

Too many similar objects.

Unintelligible and unexplored… As long as such characteristics appear, such “antiquities” are highly likely to be fakes, or useless defective products at all. When the ancient slate was delivered, it was of course positioned by the temple. After the Evening Bell Church moved the slate back to Nanzhou, it ate a cold shoulder and failed to offer it, so they could only start working behind closed doors and deciphering it silently.

As of now…there seems to be no progress.

It was originally a fleeting existence.

Now, because of the loss of spirit strength, the storm divine throne has noticed this small church.

The loss of that wisp of spirit strength is actually a very small thing.

If you compare your spirit strength to this vast ocean.

The lost wisp of spirit strength…I am afraid it is like the storm that I just crushed. For this sea, whether it exists or does not exist, there is no influences.

However, this is unreasonable.

He is Supreme’s “God”!

His spirit strength is a complete sea, unless he is willing…or every drop of water should not be missing!

The storm divide throne fell into contemplation, he tried to use Divine Sense to calculate the future results of this matter, and then the conclusion was a piece of Primal Chaos.

So he began to hesitate.

Regarding the loss of spirit strength, should we wait quietly for its return, or should we directly investigate it?

“Eastern Continent…”

The storm divide throne slowly raised his eyes and looked to the other side of the sea.

There’s someone he doesn’t want to touch.

It is also the most invisible place for him.

……

Huaiyin is a small town in Jiangbei. Also in the north, but often bathed in sunlight.

Compared with Jiangnan, Jiangbei’s economic development is a few years behind.

Some remote small towns still retain the transportation mode of “green leather train”, even in the era of comprehensive deep sea connection…not all cities are running forward desperately.

The green train stops at Huaiyin Station.

Several men in suits and leather shoes were waiting outside the station early in the morning. Compared with the surrounding crowd, their clothes were really out of place and too conspicuous… A small town like Huaiyin, very few. There will be such “business people”.

These men in suits looked nervous, glanced around, holding a greeting card in their arms.

This seems to be a battle for the noble Young Master.

And on the greeting card…the word Young Master is indeed written.

“White-sleeved Young Master…”

Many people got off the green train.

One of the fair-faced teenagers saw the raised high sign in the crowd from a distance away. He sighed silently, lightly chanted this shameful welcome, and quickly lowered his voice. Hat brim, walk fast.

He traveled alone this time, just because he didn’t want to see the Bai Family.

Bai Xiu wants to find Yu Shu’s family.

His authority is high enough.

Knowing the name of “Qu Long”, the follow-up investigation is not difficult. [Deep Sea] found the file of “Yu Shu” for him.

Born in Huaiyin City, with living parents and a younger sister.

Before erasing his name, he seemed to have a pretty good family…

After reading the file, Bai Xiu didn’t quite understand why Yu Shu chose to become a “” sacrificer”.

It took him an hour to find the address recorded in the [Deep Sea] database, where Yu Shu’s parents now live… There are not many high-rise buildings in this small town, but there are many adjacent houses. .

Yu Shu’s parents live in an old yard. Although they have lived there for ten years, it doesn’t look shabby. There are still a few pots of green plants on the wall. Standing outside the courtyard gate, you can also feel the vitality of the courtyard.

Before Bai Xiu knocked on the door, he hesitated.

He adjusted his clothes, adjusted his mood, and knocked on the door.

There are light footsteps in the yard.

The one who ran to open the door was Yu Shu’s younger sister.

“…It’s the big brother! The big brother is back!”

A girl with braids, pa ta pa ta ran over, and before the door was opened, she babbled She spoke in a sullen voice, her voice full of surprise.

After opening the door, the girl saw an unfamiliar face.

She was a little confused.

“I’m… Yu Shu’s friend.” Bai Xiu lowered his eyebrows slightly, he hesitated for a moment, squatted down, and said softly, “Where are your parents?”

The little girl blinked and hid halfway behind the door, but she was not afraid of life.

Perhaps because the white sleeves look good.

She looked back at the house…

After thinking about it for a long time, the little girl clasped her hands together and read out every word very seriously: “mother …father … …in the room…the mother is taking care of the father.”

Bai Xiu gently laughed and asked, “Can I come in?”

A woman walked out of the room , looking a little haggard, her hands stained with oil smoke are wiping on the apron, seeing the appearance of white sleeves, a little cramped, pinching the corner of the apron, and said softly: “If you don’t dislike it… just go into the room and have a cup of tea. .”

White sleeves entered the yard.

This is indeed a very lively yard.

A shaded shed was built in the yard, and large graffiti was painted on the wall. He glanced at the corner of the graffiti, and there was a chalk calendar full of forks. I wrote it many times… After the little girl released the door handle, she eagerly ran to the corner of the wall, picked up the polished chalk, and drew a fork lightly on the latest date of the corner calendar.

Upon entering the house, there is a stark contrast.

The facilities in the room are very simple, an ordinary bed, a set of complicated instruments, and a man who looks like a haggard.

White sleeves looked around silently.

Other than that, the family is just four walls.

He couldn’t understand…why did the man who gave everything for the Bai Family fall into such a situation?

During the years as a sacrificer, his family deserved to be treated with the highest standards.

Bai Xiu’s spirit strength spread silently, he looked at the man lying on the bed, Yu Shu’s father was as thin as a piece of paper, and there was almost no strength in his open chest. The sound of his heartbeat, and even the electrocardiogram device on the side only showed slight fluctuations…

Bai Xiu wanted to see what kind of disease this was, and whether it was really incurable.

And spirit strength after contact.

He realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

This man lying on the bed has lost consciousness and his spirit has been completely shattered… It is a miracle that he maintains the basic lifeform signs.

For normal “fainting”, or “loss of consciousness”…he has a way.

This is the case.

Not to mention myself, even if the Divine Throne comes, there is nothing I can do, and no one can save an empty shell that has lost its soul.

“It’s hard for you to go all the way… Is Yu Shu doing well in Beizhou?”

Yu Shu’s mother was holding hot tea, she was a little nervous Looking at Bai Xiu, this youngster looks a lot like an expensive Young Master from a big family. Does Yu Shu really have a chance to meet such a friend?

Beizhou…

The archives of [Deep Sea] record the deeds of Yu Shu before he became a sacrificer, but it cannot be recorded that before Shu left Huaiyin, he treated his parents to him. After all, this is an unimportant person, a speck of dust from the times, no one will care what he said, just like no one will care… Where did he go.

White sleeves took a sip of tea.

A mellow and powerful voice sounded from the door.

“Mrs. She! Do you still remember me?”

“Ashu often talks about you, saying that he wants to come back and have a look… It’s a pity that he is still stationed at the fortress. Sleeves took annual leave, and just happened to pass Huaiyin, so I came to see you for him.” A middle-aged man in simple clothes pushed in the door, his smile was very kind, his laughter was full of joy, and he picked it up easily. to the little girl who was squatting in the corner and drawing.

White sleeves dumbfounded.

patriarch? !

The middle-aged man took out a toy from his inner pocket like a juggler. It was a sunflower that was about to wither. In a cold area like Jiangbei, it was almost impossible to see this kind of plant.

little girl’s eyes brightened and she was rather curious.

“Remember me?” Bai Family patriarch said with a smile and handed the flower over.

“Remember…”

little fellow took the sunflower, cautiously smoothed the dying petals, and said softly, “You are the bad guy who took the big brother away… Bai… idiot Uncle…”

Bai Xiu’s expression was a little complicated.

The real name of Bai Family patriarch is Bai Xiaochi.

For the first time in so many years… this is the first time someone has called a patriarch that way.

The woman was obviously a little angry after hearing this answer. She came to the child and corrected it word by word: “You can’t say that! It’s very impolite…”

“No problem, no problem…the child is still young.”

Bai Xiaochi didn’t get angry at all, but laughed and put the child down.

He came to Bai Xiu, put down the package he was carrying, and said softly with a smile: “Ashutuo me and Xiao Xiu, brought some Beizhou specialties, and some The money…is all in this package.”

The little child holding the sunflower, tugging at the corner of the mother’s clothes, silently looked at these two people.

She whispered: “big brother…it’s been a long time…don’t come back…”

Yu Shu’s mother looked at the package on the table with a complicated expression, she seemed to be thinking what.

“Two…please wait a moment.”

After taking a deep breath, she carried the child to the next room.

……

“Why are you here?”

Bai Xiu did not break the silence in the room, but Sound transmission with spirit strength.

“Why can’t I come?”

Bai Xiaochi also responded with spirit strength.

He still had a faint smile on his face.

No one could have imagined that this Bai Family’s decisive patriarch would have such an “amiable” side.

“Some things are not in the [Deep Sea] file. You can know it without having high authority.”

Bai Xiaochi casually said: “Bai Zesheng doesn’t know about ‘Qulong’. Information, because I personally picked up this sacrificer… Yu Shu’s wish is that his parents’ files can be effectively protected. “

“Effective protection…refers to being alone, with father and daughter relying on each other?” “

“…if you have to understand it that way, yes, this is the most effective protection.” “

Bai Xiaochi looked at the man on the bed, calmly said: “This man is already dead, but Gu Changzhi can’t survive, either. “

Bai Xiu was silent.

Because he knew…patriarch was telling the truth.

“We can’t bring a dead person back to life, but we can It can be done…to keep the living alive. “

Bai Xiaochi said softly, “When Yu Shu awakened his extraordinary abilities, there was an accident. His physical condition was very poor, and he needed to take medicine constantly to stabilize his fleshy body. He took the initiative to find Bai Family, I hope I can take medicine all the time and live as long as possible. He volunteered to be a ‘devotee’, the only requirement is that the mother and younger sister can be taken care of, I can guarantee that this small courtyard is the safest place in Huaiyin City, no matter what happens, this mother and daughter life will not be disturbed in any way. “

White sleeves dumbfounded.

“Going to Beizhou to join the army… This lame reason is actually his own idea.” “

Bai Xiaochi said sadly: “People always need a hope to survive… The world we see is different from the ordinary person.” What they saw was that the electrocardiograph still showed the ups and downs of life, but what we saw was the complete shattering of the spirit of the brain, and the man on the bed was hopeless. ”

The same reason.

Yu Shu sees himself as a doomed, short-lived life.

And he wants to make the small courtyard child The mother and daughter here, seeing their son stationed at the frontier, still have hope of returning home.

“If you think…the sacrificers should die vigorously, then you can tell them the truth. “

Bai Xiaochi said softly: “They will know that Yu Shu died, as for the death in the tundra, or where, it shouldn’t be that important to them. But if you do…you kill the hope that Yu Shu left them. This ray of hope is the most precious gift he left them. ”

Bai Xiu clenched his fists silently.

He didn’t think about it.

Pushing the yard away, he would see this scene.

It’s not what I expected…

Everything in this yard is full of hope.

Yu Shu’s mother soon reappeared, This time she was alone.

She did not shy away from her “husband” lying on the bed.

She gathered up her courage and asked in a trembling voice: “The two… Yu Shu Did he have an accident? “

I went to Beizhou Fortress to be stationed, day after day, year after year…although I wrote letters and sent messages.

But after Yu Shu left, I never She has been back.

In fact, she has long been worried and doubted.

But people who really have hope in their hearts…how dare they think so much.
