Bulwark of Light

Chapter 380 Gu Shen and I hit it off.

When I walked out of the small courtyard, I saw the little girl lying behind the courtyard gate, and Bai Xiu’s mood was a little complicated.

He thought it was a good thing that he returned to Huaiyin.

To be dead.

There’s always something he can do…

But when he really sees that small living courtyard, he realizes that there’s really nothing he can do.

Yu Shu’s family is living well.

Or…there’s nothing better.

Bai Xiaochi stood side by side with him, walking in the shade and sunshine of Huaiyin Town.

Bai Family patriarch raised his head slightly, felt the dim light falling from the gap between the forest leaves, and said softly: “In the face of fate, human beings are always small… Some things can’t be changed, no matter how powerful the extraordinary power, It’s useless.”

Bai Xiu was silent for a while.

“He won’t come back.” Bai Xiu said, “That yard, that mother and daughter, will know the truth sooner or later…”

“The truth is… this world It is destined to have a parting, not only them, but also you and me. Tens of thousands of people gather, thousands of people leave, thousands of people depend on each other for life and death, and the story of the whole world comes to the end, which is a tragedy.” Bai Xiaochi said calmly: ” You’re right, news of Yu Shu’s death will reach that small courtyard sooner or later, but at that time, they may find their next hope. From the moment Yu Shu awakened his powers, fate was already doomed, and now Isn’t the ending good enough?”

Bai Xiu was speechless.

Yes.

This is already…the best ending.

“From life to death, everyone is like a mayfly.” Bai Xiaochi said, “Hope is the motivation for a mayfly to live…”

Bai Xiu paused.

He rushed back to Huaiyin from Nagano. His original intention was to see how the relatives of the sacrificer Qu Long are doing now… This is a small matter, not worth the alarm or trouble. other people.

So he turned down the kindness of patriarch’s previous colleagues.

But…patriarch came.

And did myself a very important favor.

If it weren’t for the patriarch’s timely appearance in the small courtyard, Bai Xiu might have said something…that he would regret.

After brewing for a long time, Bai Xiu said in a soft voice: “…Thank you.”

“It’s rare to hear this word from your mouth.”

Bai Xiaochi smiled.

“I…” Bai Xiu hesitated, sighed softly, “Are you usually indifferent?”

“No… not indifference.”

Bai Xiaochi shook the head and said: “I know you are not that kind of person, if someone helps you, you will definitely say thank you… But you are too powerful, you can do everything by yourself, few people have the opportunity Let me say thank you.”

Bai Xiu was slightly taken aback.

That’s true…

Many people have thanked him over the years.

The adjudication station, the prison station, the command station, the five families… no matter where he goes or what he does, he seems to be able to help some people and solve their headaches.

and vice versa.

I say thank you myself, but the number of times is so small that it can be counted on one’s fingers.

“You came to Huaiyin this time…”

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not just because of you.” Bai Xiaochi said with a smile: “I like the one from the Yu Shu family. little girl, someone specially picked that sunflower from the south, and this time I came to Huaiyin, just to see her.”

Well…it sounds reasonable.

Bai Xiu looked at patriarch with a complicated expression, and always felt that Bai Xiaochi was different from what he had imagined.

When I was in Nagano normally, I lived alone in cultivation most of the time, sober and solemn. I only saw patriarch when I was dealing with a major event.

In my impression… Bai Xiu rarely sees patriarch like this.

And came to this small courtyard.

Or…after coming to Huaiyin, Bai Xiaochi took off that serious mask.

“Of course… what I just said, it’s not just because of you.” Bai Xiaochi said first and then raised his voice: “The reason why I came to Huaiyin is partly because of you.”

In the tundra, Bai Xiu had just experienced an assassination.

Bai Family couldn’t accept the second, third…

Bai Xiu basically understood what patriarch meant.

“Next, let’s go to the tundra ice lake.” Bai Xiaochi said calmly, “Take Yu Shu’s body back to Nagano, and… I also want to see the assassination scene.”

……

……

It only took one day from Huaiyin to Tundra.

In the cold wind, two figures stood on the ice lake.

Bai Xiaochi looked at the boundless white lake in the distance and asked softly, “This is the assassination scene?”

This glacial lake is very big.

Covered with snow.

Visibility is extremely low.

But these are not important… With the sensitivity of [Thunder World Walker], even if the wind and snow is doubled, it will not affect Bai Xiu’s induction.

“Um…”

Bai Xiu slowly walked forward.

His sense of direction is excellent, and he can still find the assassination site in his memory even in the blizzard and snow. Finally, he stopped and looked down at the lake with thick ice slag, “This is it. .”

Bai Xiaochi squatted down.

He narrowed his eyes and extended the hand.

A wisp of dark and ghostly color condensed in his palm… Between the pale ice layers, there was the sound of crack cracking, and a wisp of blood that had long been melted and diluted was actually invisible. suction sucked up.

“…!”

Bai Xiu watched this scene with a shocked expression.

The five great masters of Nagano have long been established. Over the years, the Snow Forbidden City has maintained great peace. The patriarchs treat each other with courtesy. Each under his own command can solve it with ability.

So…the patriarch of the five great masters, not showing the mountains and not revealing the water, their “power” is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but their abilities and real strength have gradually been hidden behind the scenes.

A strand of swaying blood gathered in Bai Xiaochi’s palm.

He took the test tube out of his arms, collected the strand of blood that had been frozen for a long time, and said softly, “Don’t be shocked, [Tsunami] is nothing like a heaven-defying ability… Compared to yours. Thunder World Walker, its power is still too weak.”

“Is it manipulating blood…”

Bai Xiu squatted down, and he stroked the thick layer of ice , I really can’t understand how this strand of blood was extracted.

It has been several days since I left the tundra glacial lake. With the harsh climate of the tundra, let alone a drop of blood, even a complete corpse will freeze if it is blown here for a day. Into ice slag, completely broken.

“You guessed half right, it’s a small branch of the [Trait System].”

Bai Xiaochi put the test tube into the inner breast without hiding it, said solemnly: “Five people are all Before the new calendar, the ancient Aristocratic Family who moved to Nagano… The older generation once told me that there are strange blood flowing in the body of the five families, and I don’t know about other families. But in the Bai family, as long as It’s bloodline’s pure bloodline clansman, and he has a high probability of awakening his extraordinary abilities.”

Bai Xiaochi looked at Bai Xiu, he knew that Bai Xiu was a descendant of the Wai clan of the Jiangbei branch.

Until now, Bai’s clansman dared not mention the word “bloodline” in front of him.

But in fact…how can people who have truly awakened the “S-Rank ability” care about the so-called bloodline?

Bai Xiu’s expression didn’t change.

Bai Xiaochi continued: “The ability of the clansman, the direct descendant of the Bai family…will be attached with a strange quality, that is [backflow].”

White sleeves frowned: “Reverse flow?”

“That’s… a trait ability that violates the common rules of the two worlds.”

Two worlds, the mortal world, and the Transcendent world.

“You can understand it as… [reverse time].” Bai Xiaochi calmly said: “But it’s not as defiant as it literally means, [reverse time] can’t affect the established conclusion of the material world, and it can’t Conflicts with stronger rules. Things like coming back from the dead… If a person does die, it’s impossible to go backwards to save them. And there’s a huge cost to going backwards.”

Bai Xiu’s expression gradually became serious.

“I just extracted the blood… that is, I used [Backflow]. In fact, the extraction of that strand of blood has already reached the limit of the ability of [Shiro Ming], and… it is only limited to dead objects.” Bai Koike shrugged, indifferently said: “It may be because my bloodline is relatively poor. After the death of the previous Patriarch, the ability of [Backflow] has been greatly diluted. To have such a strand should be regarded as a fortune in misfortune. .”

Bai Xiu was a little puzzled: “When the previous patriarch passed away, the ability of [Backflow] was diluted?”

“This matter…you will know sooner or later.”

Bai Xiaochi said calmly: “The last patriarch was named Bai Zhu… It’s not accurate to say patriarch, his name is not on the sacrificial plaque of the ancestral hall, nor is it in the genealogy, although he is a Bai Family The appointed ‘patriarch ‘, but never really took that seat.”

“Atractylodes…”

A very unfamiliar name.

Bai Xiu has never heard of it, partly because he doesn’t hear anything outside the window, and partly because the Bai Family has never mentioned to future generations that the previous Bai family patriarch .

“In the era when Gu Changzhi became the divine throne, the Bai family paid a huge price to cultivate ‘Atractylodes’… But in the final battle for ‘Tinder’, Atractylodes failed.”

Bai Xiaochi lowered his eyes and said, “If he didn’t get the fire, everything the family gave was like a waste. Clansman’s blood and the characteristics of [backflow] all converged on him, although there was no Became the divine throne, but he became the second person in Nagano except Gu Changzhi.”

“Atractylodes… did not choose to bear the burden of revitalizing the family, but chose to end his own life.”

This story is short.

No twists and turns, no flips.

And it is such a story, which was completely blocked by the Bai clan… In the last Elder Ren meeting, the leader who made the decision to donate his blood retired because of guilt. The Gu family’s desperate struggle to build [Qingzhong] is quite similar.

The Gu family lost the bet, and Gu Changzhi didn’t wake up, but after all, it was a place of miracles.

Bai Family lost the bet… The [backflow] trait in their blood was greatly diluted, and the person who created the miracle chose to commit suicide.

In a sense, Bai Family lost even more.

“This is the reason why the Bai Family has been silent for 20 years. My patriarch…what I have to do is actually very simple.” Bai Xiaochi said softly with a smile: “We will usher in prosperity in the Bai Family. Before, to stabilize the situation, I was not a peerless genius, nor did I have the ability to defy the sky. I just need to stabilize this family, and wait until you grow up…that’s enough.”

You, referring to Bai Xiu, and Bai Shen.

Bai Xiaochi could see it very clearly… After the blood quality was diluted, the Bai Shi desperately needed a “savior” with sufficient ability, but unfortunately, that savior was not himself.

“I…”

Bai Xiu hesitated, but was silent.

“Okay, back to the topic, this trip to the tundra is to collect evidence.” Bai Xiaochi saw Bai Xiu’s complicated thoughts, patted the latter’s shoulder, indifferently said: “The task now is Halfway through, with this bloodstain, after I go back, I may be able to find the assassin’s identity information from the database of [Deep Sea].”

“Blood verification… may not yield results.”

p>

Bai Xiu shook the head: “This assassination… has been carefully planned. Assassin has long been hidden under the ice lake. Since he is ready to assassinate me, there must be some aftermath of the failed assassination. ”

“If this assassination is a game of chess. Then the person sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard is not an ordinary person.” Bai Xiaochi said softly, “If he does not make mistakes, then we also We can only continue to wait.”

“Is it the end of the fight for Baibuqiu?” Baixiu said suddenly.

The Bai Family patriarch watched the boy quietly.

“Or there are other people in the Elder Xu meeting.” Bai Xiu said slowly: “More than one… White does not argue.”

If the bloodstain verification has no results…

Then it can only mean that the person who laid out the chess game was really thoughtful. This is not a coincidence… but he has already prepared for all this.

Perhaps, he not only understands Bai Xiu’s whereabouts, but also understands Bai Xiaochi’s abilities.

“I know what you want to say, but… this is just a guess, a guess without evidence.” Bai Xiaochi sighed softly and said, “You must know that there are many people in the Elder Council, At this juncture…if you catch the wrong one, things will go bad.”

Bai Xiu lowered his eyes.

He stopped talking about this topic, but continued to walk towards the distance of the ice lake.

He walked under a boulder, the boulder penetrated the ice layer of the ice lake and the water surface under the ice layer, and a snow-white ice cocoon condensed beside the boulder. A pale corpse.

“I buried Yu Shu here.”

Bai Xiu said softly: “I will bury him in Qingzhong… There is a good place there, one day. , his supernatural essentia will reach Nagano and get real peace.”

A ray of thunder force swept out along the ice.

Bai Xiu lowered his head silently, he watched the ice lake was shattered by a gap, the silent undercurrent suddenly surged, the ice cocoon little by little floated up, and the curled Qulong was frozen in the ice. in the cocoon.

Bai Xiaochi said softly, “About the matter of the Bai clan…I can negotiate with the Elder Council…Maybe I can give you a satisfactory answer.”

” No need, there’s no need to force it.”

Bai Xiu looked at the pale face in the ice cocoon and looked at the head, “And… he probably wouldn’t like a place like Zongtang. It’s better to bury it in the Qing Dynasty. Tomb is better.”

Bai Xiaochi was silent for a long time.

He looked at the stubborn teenager, sighed again.

“Nagano’s rookie battle… the registration has ended. You didn’t deliberately avoid it because of this assassination…?”

Bai Xiu raised his head.

He didn’t say anything, just sat on the big rock, quietly waiting for the ice cocoon to thaw.

“If you want to protest to the Bai Family in this way. It’s not necessary.” Bai Xiaochi said seriously: “If you win the leader of the rookie battle, comprehend the dream of fire…Elder Council’s prejudice will be much smaller.”

The reason for this assassination, recorded on the file, is that Bai Buzhen was dissatisfied with Bai Xiu and was jealous.

In fact…for the so-called “patriarch”.

First there is Bai Shen, then Bai Xiu.

This is a blessing.

But in the Great Family, standing in line to bet on the bet has become an undercurrent…

How monstrous the innate talent shown by Bai Xiu, how many people worry that this youngster of the Jiangbei branch will take away the power in the future.

“I see Bai Chen as my elder brother, and I have no intention of competing for power. Since I stepped into Nagano, I have a clear conscience in everything I have done. Why should I explain it to them?” Bai Xiu looked at patriarch , said calmly: “As for the newcomer battle, the dream of fire… If I want it, very easy. Why should I avoid all this?”

Bai Xiu knew what Lord Patriarch really wanted to say what is.

He went to Kiyomizu.

And in Kiyotsuka…there is a character that many people in Nagano are staring at.

Gu Shen.

Everyone in Nagano is looking forward to a fight with Gu Shen…preferably in a rookie fight, and patriarch is one of them.

“I left Huaiyin and came back to Tundra, not because I avoided the war…” Bai Xiu lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: “I just think this matter is more important than participating in the rookie battle.”

>

“The Elder Council has a lot of opinions on your choice, they think there will be a lot of trouble next year…”

Bai Xiaochi stopped and said meaningfully: “But, I understand you , support you too.”

Next year’s troubles.

“Thank you…”

Bai Xiu laughed at himself, and he confessed: “This should be the third time I’ve come back from the tundra to say thank you.”

The third time?

Bai Xiaochi startsled slightly…once in Huaiyin, once in Tundra, both times, I told myself.

Bai Xiu, who was sitting on the big rock in the ice lake, said earnestly, “After returning to Nagano, I disappeared for a day.”

“Then I was in the ancestral hall meeting. , I found Bai Buzheng.”

“And then…I found out Qu Long’s name, background, and background.”

“Actually, I didn’t do all of this… …someone helped me, and he also helped me choose a good position in Qingzhong.”

Speaking of which…Bai Xiaochi had already vaguely guessed something.

In one day, only the Master who is proficient in Divination Technique can solve the predicament and directly identify the identity of the “planner” in Nagano.

And that Master, just accepted a Disciple.

We meet in Qingzhong, and everything is peaceful.

The things that everyone in Nagano can’t understand, now it seems, are reasonable.

Even Bai Xiaochi, a bystander, had to sigh at the wonder of fate.

“That person is Gu Shen.”

Bai Xiu said seriously: “Gu Shen and I have hit it off right away. The investigation of the Tundra Assassination went smoothly… I am very grateful to him. ”

This is a 12:40 add.

Because it is a very important transitional plot recently, so each chapter takes a long time… I am also modifying it myself, first of all to ensure the quality.

The workload of Chapter 2 today is very heavy, and it is estimated that it will not be completed tonight.

Even if you start writing tomorrow morning, it will not be sent until noon.

I specially added this passage, the author said, I hope this time point, follow up to this point, readers who see this passage, don’t wait any longer.
