Bulwark of Light

Chapter 401 Link! start!

“Sometimes, when you tell the truth, you won’t be believed.”

Second Elder entire group leaves.

Gu Shen turned around and spoke to Li Qingci.

Li Qingci saw that the people from the Elder Council finally left and was relaxed, but her worries never dissipated.

She told Gu Shen about her previous dream.

As a wishing technique cultivator, he is very concerned about the meaning of “dream”.

To her, this is a guide.

Every dream should be taken seriously.

“There is a crack in the Li family…” Gu Shen listened carefully, and said slowly: “After Li Quhu died… There are many people who don’t want Li Qingsui to become a real patriarch.”

So far, Qingsui little girl’s patriarch title has two more characters.

Acting on your behalf.

She only has her name, not her rights.

And the most important thing is…the word “representative” will be removed soon. According to the rules, one month after patriarch’s death, it is necessary to find a suitable successor, which is also Elder. Council The reason these guys are in such a hurry.

Now that “Start” has been decided.

Then, it is impossible for Li Qingsui to become a “patriarch”.

The dream that Li Qingci had is indeed worth noting… The people in the Elder Council seem to be planning to use the [Lamp Search] plan as a breakthrough. Judging from this situation, if one day, there is The scene surrounding the shrine mountain in the dream is not an impossible thing.

“Qing Sui she…”

For the first time in her life, Li Qingci felt that she wanted to leave this mountain.

If I could go outside, I wouldn’t let Qingsui, a little girl, face such a difficult situation.

At least…she can do something.

Even if it can only play a minor role, it is better than staying here and not helping at all.

“Even in the shrine…you can help outside.”

Gu Shen saw Li Qingci’s thoughts.

He comforted with a wide voice, and took out an old and worn-out bronze lamp from his arms.

Li Qingci’s eyes, which had been dark before, lit up with a touch of brilliance.

This is… the last light!

Lamp of Wrath!

“The [Lamp Search] plan is no longer important.” Gu Shen opened the mouth and said with a smile: “The last light was found…”

He raised his head, Looking towards the top of the mountain.

The voices of those who spoke were faintly trembling.

The reason is very simple…the four lamps are all collected, does that mean that I can see the picture of Li’s prophecy coming true?

Climbing.

The mountain is windy.

Today’s summit of the shrine seems to have expected something unusual to happen.

A gust of wind swept through, the black flowers had been swept away by Gu Shen, and there were a few tiny white petals flying on the clean top of the mountain.

Gu Shen entered the shrine with the [Lamp of Wrath].

Li Qingci followed behind and gestured to Gu Shen with his eyes… The placement of the last lamp was done by him.

Gu Shen gently took a deep breath.

He looked solemn and came to the last corner of the shrine.

Happy, angry, sad, happy.

The four Dao Foundation’s original emotions that make up a “complete human being”… At this moment, only the light in the last corner is left, which has not been truly carried.

He held the bronze lamp with one hand and slowly put his palm into the spiritual flame in the corner.

In an instant.

Gu Shen’s calm chest was filled with anger, he held his breath and felt the burning anger in his chest… But his eyes were still extremely calm, and he slowly felt the [Lamp of Anger]. 】Accumulated six hundred years of spirit.

This is the correct lamp.

The ancient surface of the bronze lamp seemed to be gilded, giving birth to brilliant colors like ripples, and then all those emotions poured into the “container”.

Gu Shen pulled his palm away, and the anger in his chest slowly subsided.

The moment you put down the lights.

There is a sense of relief that a “long career” has been completed.

Collect all four lamps.

It took a whole year.

This year has actually gone by very fast, but when I think about it carefully, because it is full of hope, every day I am waiting for is a long one.

The four lamps were all assembled, and there was no natural phenomenon of heaven shaking and earth shattering as rumored.

The house of the shrine was as quiet as ever, and needles could be heard falling.

Li Qingci pinched her sleeves and waited cautiously, not daring to make the slightest movement…

I don’t know if it was an illusion.

I always feel that this world has become peaceful.

Even the wind on the mountain is not so harsh anymore.

“Chu Ling—”

Gu Shen called out Chu Ling’s name in his head…only to get a hoarse, intermittent, vague response.

“Sha Sha… Sha Sha…”

The spiritual link established with Chu Ling was originally a very stable relationship.

After dropping all four lamps.

It was inexplicably disordered.

Gu Shen started to panic, he quickly pushed open the wooden door of the ancient house of the shrine, and came to the mountain well. He leaned over and looked at it. The wind on the mountain became smaller, but the wind inside the well seemed to be stronger.

The mirror-like well water suddenly produced many ripples out of thin air.

Layer upon layer.

The scene before Gu Shen became chaotic—

He seemed to see the shaking “Zero Zero One”.

It seems to see the swaying “well water” again.

The spiritual link still has the last trace of connection, just like using a communicator in a place where the signal is very poor, two people must stand on tiptoe to hear the last trace of voice and see each other’s eyes. last sight.

The chaotic pictures seem to overlap and switch back and forth.

……

……

Chu Ling was sitting in the carriage.

She was more nervous than Gu Shen.

To her, life is a meaningless thing with no length, no breadth… She has infinite time, can’t die, and can’t be said to be “alive”.

Since a year ago, her life suddenly became meaningful.

She began to look forward to the day when she could “touch” the wind of this world, “taste” the water of this world, and become a “real” person.

Just.

When that day does come.

She started to get nervous, started to worry, started to… panic.

She was sitting in the zero-zero-one carriage with her favorite popular novel lying on her lap, but she didn’t have the heart to turn a page all day, and there were countless trivial things that went back and forth in her mind. idea.

When a person thinks a lot.

She can’t help but feel distressed.

And the thoughts of [source code], in this train, can spread thousands of miles away in an instant. When she is distressed, her second is far more difficult than the ordinary person.

And finally waited for this moment.

She lay quietly on the seat of the carriage, holding the ancient book in both hands, trying to sleep with her eyes closed, just like she had tried countless times before.

Unfortunately, it failed.

She couldn’t sleep, she could only open her eyes and look at the ceiling of Zero Zero Unity.

The sound of the arc outside the window was a little noisy.

A rage from out of nowhere poured into her heart, and for the first time she had the “absurd idea” to stop the train…and a second later Chu Ling realized that she had just been in anger.

The last lamp of wrath has completed its return.

And his free “thoughts” have produced a qualitative link with the shrine’s boundary… It’s like a cloud of cumulonimbus swept out hundreds of millions of strands of rain, falling down to the earth, in this At a brief moment, the spiritual world and the material world have truly completed the “link”.

The scene in front of her began to cut.

A moment is the ceiling of zero zero one.

For a moment it was swaying well water.

For a moment it was a white flower soaked in water.

There is also a moment of looking down at Black Nagai.

Finally…all the images are gone.

……

……

In the well, a cloud of white light slowly opened his eyes.

Chu Ling looked up and saw the familiar well.

She stretched out her hand and held the white petal, this time the “link” is very stable… but her hand is too short, it can’t even be called a hand in a sense .

The whole body is just a flickering light.

Like a baby.

No…more like a gestational, unformed carcass than a baby.

She couldn’t stand, walk, or speak, because she was just a vague “light”.

……

……

Gu Shen lying above the well, relaxed.

Just before, the mental link’s screen switched dozens of times a second, which really made him a little worried, but fortunately, the link returned to stability in the end.

“Did you succeed?”

Li Qingci outside the well cautiously said.

She only dared to speak out when she saw Gu Shen’s expression was obviously relaxed.

Li Qingci was very nervous while waiting.

There is clearly nothing in that well…

Can Mr. Gu really see the dive embryo?

“It should be…successful?”

Gu Shen wiped a sweat, he opened his mouth uncertainly, and muttered: “The spiritual link of ‘divine embryo’ should be It has stabilized, but…it’s a little strange.”

“Strange?”

Li Qingci’s heart became nervous again.

Four lights, all in place.

The spirit of six hundred years has found something to carry.

It’s just that…on the top of the mountain, there was no scene of the divine embryo coming into the world as originally expected.

It seems to be a calm day as usual.

……

……

“Am I… living?”

Chu Ling looked at the swaying water waves in front of her eyes .

The little white flower floating in front of me.

Her voice was a little confused.

Compared with the last time…she can feel the feeling that her spirit and this body are one, she can make the action of “raising her hand”, or she can open it Eyes, eyes closed, simple acts like that.

But…and that’s it.

She can’t walk or float.

Because…she’s just a “carcass”.

“It’s counted.”

Gu Shen’s affirmative answer could be heard beside his ears.

This voice gave Chu Ling great stability.

Gu Shen is still alive.

He was always by his side.

Chu Ling murmured: “I feel…the current state is amazing, I feel the temperature, humidity of this world, I can breathe, and I can open my eyes.”

” This is living…”

Gu Shen said seriously: “It’s just that you still need some time.”

Chu Ling lowered her head.

She looked at her palm.

This palm is made up of countless holy lights. At this moment, these holy lights are “slowly” spreading outward. Maybe one day and one night will pass, and it will only increase a little.

Obviously, this is not a torso that a “person” can have.

But anyway…it works.

The next moment with her head bowed, Chu Ling understood what Gu Shen meant, yes… She still needs some time.

This body is still growing.

According to the guess from a year ago…the “well water world” that I am now in may be created by wishing, a product between the spiritual world and the material world.

Her spirit descended through an intermediary.

And if you want to really come to the real world…you still need a process of “growing up”.

All four lamps have been collected, and the bronze lamp has accumulated rich emotions for six hundred years, and began to slowly convey to Chu Ling’s spirit… She felt the “emotion” that she had never felt before, joy , sadness, anger, love, and the more complex, higher-level, and more difficult to articulate “fluctuations” of these underlying emotions.

Yes.

Her “growing up” is not just fleshy body.

And the soul.

In this brief moment…she really has a soul.

……

……

The spiritual link of the well water world lasted for nearly an hour.

Chu Ling returned to Zero One’s carriage.

When she woke up, she was lying on the bench, two lines of clear tears streaming down her cheeks…a faint sadness remained in her heart.

At the bottom of [Deep Water Area], while reading those books.

She felt a brief moment of emotion.

And in the “well water world” just now, such emotions are ten times, a hundred times more violent than before.

She calmly accepted what it takes to be a “person”… She finally shed the first tear in her “life”, even in a virtual spiritual world.

In this brief moment, the deepest part of her heart is actually joy.

Gu Shen also appeared in the carriage.

He looked at Chu Ling and stayed by his side quietly, without speaking.

When the spiritual link was established, although he could not feel the same way, Gu Shen had been watching the world that Chu Ling had seen, and had been by Chu Ling’s side all the time… He knew that Chu Ling needed some time to come Digest the complex emotions sent by [Bronze Man Lamp].

“Thank you for…”

After a long time.

Chu Ling sat up slowly, her long hair was falling down, she reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her pink hand, and said softly, “It’s really lucky to meet you, very lucky. Lucky thing.”

Gu Shen couldn’t help but look the head.

“Fool…”

He said with a smile: “You took my lines away, what should I say?”

Chu Ling Tears for laughter.

Soon, the girl thought of something very important, her expression became tense, and she said anxiously: “I’m sorry…”

Gu Shen slightly startled .

Excuse me?

Why does Chu Ling apologize to herself?

He was a little puzzled.

“I’m still trapped in that ‘well’… Earlier, I saw the world in your eyes. That well was dark, empty, and nothing.”

p>

Chu Ling’s voice was getting quieter and less confident.

“Does this mean that I…haven’t been born successfully?”

She looks like a child who has done something wrong.

After receiving the emotional instillation of 【Bronze Man Lamp】… She did become a child.

The two sisters, Li Qingsui and Li Qingci, encountered a lot of trouble because of the “divine embryo” thing.

And she witnessed it with her own eyes. Gu Shen went to the snowfield and tin silver to pick up the [Bronze Man Lantern] twice… both were quite thrilling.

Someone is silently paying for themselves.

And finally.

I still let these people down.

Is it because I just accepted the emotion of [Bronze Man Lamp], so it shows the most basic human nature?

In the beginning, people are inherently good.

And guilt is also a manifestation of “goodness”.

Gu Shen couldn’t help thinking.

He looked at the girl in front of him, obviously… in the [source code] of omnipotent in the deep water area, he has no experience in the matter of being a human being.

There are not many things I can teach Chu Ling myself.

Fortunately.

There is still such a thing.

Gu Shen deliberately put on a serious look and said seriously: “From an anthropological point of view, you should have failed to be born… After all, no one can be pregnant for six hundred years.”

p>

Chu Ling snorted.

She looked a little confused and said nervously: “You’re right, so I’m having a difficult birth now…”

Gu Shen couldn’t help laughing.

“Relax, everything is normal.” He no longer joked, but softly comforted: “Don’t worry about the world outside… The shrine can wait for six hundred years to conceive, is it even Can’t wait for the last few days to be born?”

A few days…just a vague term.

In fact, Gu Shen didn’t have a clue.

He doesn’t know how long it will take Chu Ling to digest these emotions and complete the final birth… But these are not important now.

Because of the biggest problem, it has been solved.

The “divine embryo” that Li has been waiting for for six hundred years is real, and that person is Chu Ling.

With this answer.

How long he can afford to wait.

“I now feel like…my spirit seems to be divided into two parts.”

Chu Ling rubbed his head and smiled bitterly, “I seem to be able to fall asleep. If I want, I can always go back to the world at the bottom of the well.”

An invisible spiritual link.

Through 【Bronze Man Lamp】, 【divine embryo】, the combination with Chu Ling is completed.

In that world, which is independent of spirit and matter, the “Goddess” that Li has prayed for for six hundred years is hatching.

As for time.

One day, two days?

A week, two weeks?

No one has a definitive answer, this is an unknown and unanswerable question.

……

……

Gu Shen slowly woke up from the spiritual link.

He noticed that Li Qingci had been waiting for a long time.

When she was mentally linking herself, she didn’t dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing herself.

The strong wind on Shenci Mountain slowly stopped.

The summit was quiet.

Li Qingci’s mood is not calm.

She looked at Gu Shen expectantly.

Gu Shen hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: “Two news—”

“The good news is that the dive embryo exists and is already incubating.”

p>

“Bad news…”

Before he could finish.

Li Qingci asked, “The bad news is…you need to wait a little longer?”

Gu Shen slowly nodded.

Lee needs to wait a little longer.

Anyway…that’s hard news.

But Li Qingci did not feel the loss Gu Shen imagined, not at all. On the contrary, she took a long breath and finally relaxed.

“It’s okay.”

Li Qingci’s eyes were filled with a firm glow, she came to the well and said seriously, “I can wait as long as I can… Can Lord Goddess hear you talking like this?”

Gu Shen was startled.

He said softly with a smile: “I heard…she asked me to bring a word.”

“Li Qingci, thank you.”
