Bulwark of Light

Chapter 402 He in the Dark

“pa ta.”

A drop of water fell.

It hit the woman in the face.

The woman closed the pages of the book in her hand, slowly raised her head, and looked at the ginkgo trees in the courtyard. It was approaching the annual ancestor worship day, and there were many to-and-fro people in the ancestral hall. When he got up, his voice became noisy.

One year.

For most people, a year is three hundred and sixty-five days.

For Bai Lu, this year is just one year.

She only did one thing, and that was to read the ancient books collected in the ancestral hall word by word.

After closing the book page, Bai Lu could hear the voices of those people in the distance of Zongtang… those people were talking about themselves.

Many people find it incredible.

The most noisy girl in the Bai Family has changed her personality. For a whole year, she just stayed in the ancestral hall and never went anywhere.

I don’t know where these people heard about it.

Some people say that it is the successor of the Divination Technique of Qingzhong, who gave her a fortune, and soon, there will be bad luck, it is best not to leave the ancestral hall, so she stays in the ginkgo tree every day Read a book and drink tea, clear your mind and few desires.

In fact, it is to avoid disaster.

Some people also said that Bai Lu had reached “age” and could no longer continue to be mad, which would humiliate the image of the Bai Family, so she was ordered by patriarch to clean up her body and cultivate herself with peace of mind this year.

These discussions were all heard by Bai Lu.

She hooked the head.

After a year of reading, she could always hear these voices.

I thought it was just the beginning.

But I found out later… people in this world are always so boring.

The reason why Bai Lu stays behind closed doors and reads books for a whole year, how can there be so many complicated reasons?

Just like the right and wrong she provoked in the Snow Forbidden City before.

She wants to.

So she did.

Of course, things in this world, no matter how unreasonable they are, still have some trajectories to be found.

Really want to go back to the source.

The reason for Bai Lu’s retreat for a year is also very simple…because Xiao Xiuzi also practiced and retreated in the Snow Forbidden City this year.

She closed the page, took a final sip of tea, and left Zongtang.

There are so many alleys and alleys in the Snow Forbidden City, it is easy to get lost.

Ke Bailu is very familiar with this road.

She came to the place where the little sleeves were. It was the cleanest yard that the Bai clan deliberately chose for him.

No one will bother you.

Bai Lu was standing at the entrance of the alley. She didn’t even dare to approach the courtyard, but just watched from a distance across the alley.

“Little Sleeves has been in retreat for a year.”

A deep voice sounded beside her.

Bai Lu startsled slightly, looking back to see a familiar and kind face.

“Second Elder.”

Bai Lu hurriedly saluted, but was stopped by the latter.

“Xiaolu…”

Bai Zesheng laughed and said, “You have a heart.”

He knew.

In this year, Bai Lu certainly didn’t stay under the ginkgo tree in the Zongtang every day. She would walk around the Snow Forbidden City every day… and every time, she would come to this place by ghosts and gods. Hutong, stop far away and look at the yard where Xiao Shou is located.

A year ago.

Little Sleeves completely locked himself in the courtyard.

The news that Bai Shi got is.

He’s hitting the fourth stage…if he succeeds, it’s almost certain that Bai Xiu will become the youngest “title” of Eastern Continent, since he’s only twenty years old so far.

According to the big data analysis of the Five Continents Council.

Being able to become a fourth stage transcender before the age of 30 is already a genius as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, after all, this is a realm that most transcenders are “out of sight” .

The fourth stage means the maturity and cohesion of the field. Such a transcender can be regarded as a clear boundary between “morality” and a real qualitative change.

They can do as one pleases controlling ability and even develop advanced powers.

They are the “high-end battle strength” and “mainstay” in Transcendent World!

Continental Council will maintain a respectful attitude towards such transcenders, their opinions will be considered, and such figures, no matter where they are placed, are “big figures” that attract much attention, even if Nagano, or Dato, are top battle strength reserves.

Eastern Continent’s three institutes and five masters have established such a complete set of battle strength cultivation system over the years.

In fact, their purpose has never been to cultivate a “title” that can go to the end of the route, but to cultivate enough controllable “fourth stage transcender”.

……

……

“Many people are very concerned about the cultivation of small sleeves, but if you care so much… the whole Bai family should be There is only one.”

Bai Zesheng stretched out his hand to patted Junior’s shoulder and spoke gently.

“Little Sleeve and I grew up together…”

Bai Lu’s expression was a little complicated, “It can be seen that the assassination in Tundra had a great impact on him.”

In fact, every time she came to the alley, she didn’t care about Bai Xiu’s cultivation.

What kind of person is Bai Xiu?

The monster who overwhelmed the entire Nagano alone!

Shocking and stunning, swept away all enemies, his cultivation road has never had any failure! Such a genius is destined to become a titled character!

Why is she worried that Bai Xiu will encounter difficulties when she breaks through the fourth stage?

What she was worried about…was the “Evil Thought” in Baixiu’s heart because of the assassination in the tundra.

A year ago, on the day when all the people welcomed Xiao Xiuzi’s return, Bai Xiu silently came to the Zongtang.

Everyone left.

But Bai Lu was the only one who was reading in the yard, so she met the little sleeves covered in blood.

Goodbye and goodbye.

It shouldn’t be.

In the days after that, Bai Lu would always think of the picture of the white clothed blood-stained little sleeve that day, and the words and words he asked herself.

Bai wants his cultivation.

I hope he breaks through.

In the end, he fulfilled Bai’s wish and lived in this courtyard, beginning a long cultivation.

No one can enter or leave this yard. The Bai family got the “retreat and breakthrough” they wanted, while the white sleeves got the “peace” they wanted.

Just, really?

Bai Lu tried to check the case file of “Tunda Assassination” this year. She always felt that things were not that simple… but the result of the case file As the water recedes, the rocks appear Exposure to light, evidence, execution, perfectly clear.

Second Elder Bai Zesheng also suffered heavy losses because of Inta’s hunting activities.

Just breaking a realm.

Bai Xiu has been in retreat for a whole year, does he really have no breakthrough? Or…he’s just hiding from the Bai Family?

“I want to go in and take a look at the little sleeves…”

Bai Lu spoke softly.

“Don’t bother.”

Bai Zesheng shook the head, he sighed softly, and said, “I understand what you mean, you are worried about his mental state… …I’m also very worried, and I specifically asked the transcender of the Federal Security Council to pay close attention to the Spiritual Fluctuation in the yard, but Bai Xiu’s mental state has been stable this year, and if there is anything unusual, we will know immediately.”

“Not long ago, I wanted to go into the yard to give my condolences…”

Bai Zesheng smiled bitterly, “Lord Patriarch scolded me severely after he found out, and asked me not to disturb the little boy. The cleaning of the sleeves. However, Lord Patriarch also said that every once in a while he will have a spiritual connection with the little sleeves to ensure basic communication.

Hutong is an ordinary hutong.

But outside the gate of Baixiu’s courtyard, there are powerful sealed objects guarding it, as well as the “extraordinary formation mark” painted by patriarch Bai Xiaochi. strength of protection.

No mistakes are allowed until he succeeds in breaking through.

Bai Lu heard this remark and relaxed a little.

Small sleeves are not completely locked up.

At least he was willing to communicate with Lord Patriarch…

The stone hanging in her heart was halfway to the ground.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Zesheng and said softly, “Second Elder, how is your injury?”

The blizzard at Inta made Bai Zesheng a hero of the family once again .

In order to kill the tundra assassin.

He paid a huge price… Bai Lu heard that Second Elder walked around in front of Gates of Hell, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

However, Second Elder seems to be getting better after half a year of recuperation.

“The knife wound is just a scar, and it hurts occasionally.”

Bai Zesheng lowered his eyebrows, laughed, he said softly, “Thanks to patriarch’s ‘Mediterran’, I retrieved it. I lost my life.”

Bai Lu said with emotion: “You still have to take care of your body and rest a lot… to avoid the recurrence of old injuries.”

Since the tundra assassination a year ago is to be investigated case, it is inevitable to check the final case file.

Inta Blizzard.

assassin assassinated.

In the end, all the dust settled, Bai Zesheng was seriously injured and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The original injury was out of danger, but at a critical moment, the penetrating stab wound left by assassin caused his whole body to bleed heavily.

In a remote place like Inta, there is no time to transfer treatment.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Bai Xiaochi arrived.

Lord Patriarch used the power of 【Shimitsu】to block the disintegration of blood.

Bai Zesheng… survived.

It is also quite appropriate to use “save a life”.

If Lord Patriarch hadn’t shown up, maybe he’d be dead.

The only regret is that the assassin was burned to ashes by the fire in Inta… There was almost no useful information left at the scene, and everything was burned to the ground.

The only useful thing is eyewitness testimony.

Bai Zesheng watched his opponent burn to death by himself.

The final investigation also came to an end.

……

……

Bai Lu left the alley.

Bai Zesheng did not leave.

He stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, his eyes were calm and deep… No one knew what he was thinking.

Everyday all will come to this alley, not only Bailu.

And him.

He pays more attention to Bai Xiu than everyone else.

Because he knew… the case file a year ago, simply did not end, it was not a coincidence that Bai Xiaochi was able to arrive at the Inta.

Just like his “heavy bleeding” at the last minute, it’s just a show.

Because of knowing the capabilities of patriarch.

Bai Zesheng dared to “bleed a lot”.

He had to make himself miserable enough to win the last trace of sympathy in Patriarch’s heart, in order to dispel the suspicion that the final Inta case file assassin was exhausted.

Only later did Bai Zesheng know that Bai Xiaochi found a trace of blood from the tundra, and desperately searched for the information of the owner of the blood through the database of [Deep Sea]… And he rushed to Inta immediately, maybe just because he wanted to. Take a look at your own blood and see if it matches the strand of blood.

It was a fluke that I survived.

Fortunately, I didn’t shoot in the tundra.

Fortunately, the blood of “Mr. Jin” has not been entered into the [Deep Sea] database.

It just made him uneasy.

From that day onwards, Bai Xiu went to retreat directly in the Snow Forbidden City. The Bai family seemed to give it a yard at will, but in fact…the entire hutong lived in the Bai family. Transcender of the protection plan.

There is no possibility at all to carry out an assassination in the Snow Forbidden City.

Obviously.

After the tumble in the tundra… Bai Xiu completely distrusted the “Elder Council”.

He locked himself directly.

With the cultivation speed of this genius, if the cultivation goes on like this, is it still worth it?

Who can kill him!

……

……

After watching for a while, Bai Zesheng left the alley.

He walked all the way to the depths of the alley in the Snow Forbidden City.

His deeds, simply did not avoid [wind pupil].

It stands to reason that [Fengtong] can see all this clearly.

It’s just… At this moment, [Fengtong] has undergone subtle changes. He has extremely high authority to help Bai Zesheng and erase the silhouette after leaving the alley.

The so-called erasure does not mean erasing the entire image.

It’s… just one person.

He seems to have turned into a ghost, appearing anywhere in the Snow Forbidden City and will not be recorded.

In half an hour.

Bai Zesheng arrived at the destination, an extremely remote old house. He pushed open the gate of the courtyard. The facilities inside were simple, there was only one wood house with a foundation, and the hall had curtains swaying in the wind.

If someone tries to link to [Deep Sea] here, they will find that there is no signal in the house.

This is a “dark place”.

“Darkness” in every sense.

Except that there is no [Deep Sea] link signal… there is no light here either.

Bai Zesheng stood in front of the house, he bowed and saluted, restraining all his thoughts, said slowly.

“It’s still the same… There’s no movement in the alley, and I can’t find a good opportunity.”

There was no immediate echo from the wood house.

Bai Zesheng kept his posture of bowing and saluting, preparing to leave the yard as usual… Beyond the curtains, a familiar tall and thin silhouette was slowly highlighted.

“Your Excellency invites you into the room for a chat.”

Bai Zesheng frowned.

He raised his head and looked at “Mr. Jin” who opened the curtain. It’s been nearly a year since the tundra parted… So far, he couldn’t believe that the scene in front of him was real.

Because this is crazy.

Under his cover, the guy who escaped from Inta… actually returned to Eastern Continent after half a year, and chose to settle in Nagano.

It’s nothing.

After all, in the [Deep Sea] database, there is no blood case that has been successfully compared, so don’t worry about being discovered for the time being.

The craziest thing is…

Bai Zesheng took a deep breath.

He walked in.

The wood house is dark, and the sight is a little uncomfortable, but after entering the curtain, there is a sweet and mellow aroma wafting immediately. There are several wooden racks in the wood house, which are against the seasons. The season is full of bunches of grapes.

A teenager in an ordinary black shirt, who seems to be fused with the darkness all around, sits cross-legged on the floor of the wood house, in an environment that is already dark enough… He chose to close his eyes tightly.

This is willingly being a blind.

Bai Zesheng couldn’t understand this kind of behavior, let alone look directly at the boy in the dark, because just taking a few steps closer…he could feel the great pressure, which was a kind of breathlessness. oppression.

This is…divine might!

“Master Jiu…”

Bai Zesheng finished the salute with difficulty and hissed.

Who would have thought that the “divine throne” of the Tower of Origin would actually arrive at the Eastern Continent in person?

And… settled in the Snow Forbidden City!

Bai Zesheng couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw this young man for the first time… The fact that an [Apostle] was dispatched last time caused intense controversy in the five continents.

Because of the angry protests of Dadu, the Council of Five Continents redefines the walking boundaries of the [Apostles] and the treaties that must be abided by when using [Tokens].

And this time.

The divine throne is in person.

The irony is…even if this matter is exposed, the Council of Five Continents will not make any refutation, because no one has the right to interfere in the actions of the [divine throne], they can go wherever they want .

It’s just because of the tacit understanding between the top seats.

Divine thrones on continents, usually, do not cross the boundaries of continents to reach other neighboring continents.

Unless there are special tasks.

For example, in a super-large disaster situation that has happened once in a few years, the Divine Throne in the continent happened to have something to do, and could not get out, and needed other people to help clean up… In this case, the Divine Throne from other continents will come forward. .

Some people say that this year’s Snow Forbidden City was the quietest year in twenty years.

After Gong Zi took off the dream of fire.

In the Snow Forbidden City, it suddenly became quiet… Bai Xiu didn’t show up, Gu Shen retreated, and the children of the three schools and five families were calling, but there were few amazing people.

But Bai Zesheng knew.

The reason why this year’s Snow Forbidden City is calm…because it is about to usher in the biggest “wave” in history.

Wine Divine Throne lived in the Snow Forbidden City for nearly half a year.

This half year.

Bai Zesheng’s every “audience” is inevitably a little nervous.

It’s not very far from “Qingzhong”.

When will the man who was rumored to “fall asleep” wake up?

A character like Divine Throne can get out of his body wherever he goes… But at that time, he will die without a burial site.

In the darkness, the voice of a young man came.

“You’re afraid…”

“You’re afraid of Gu Changzhi.”

The young man spoke in a loud voice. Although he didn’t open his eyes, he seemed to have penetrated All the spirits, all the souls, all the minds of the world.

“Since you choose to follow me…you must be prepared to give everything.”

There was a hint of reproach in his voice.

A small ray of spirit falls on the mortal body.

It’s a big mountain.

Bai Zesheng’s expression was pale, and he quickly moved all distracting thoughts out of his mind.

“Don’t worry… with me, there is no need to fear anyone.”

The voice of the Divine Throne is the greatest inspiration in the world!

Bai Zesheng felt the pressure suddenly disappear.

Half-kneeling on the wood house floor, he mustered his courage and looked up in the dark.

At this moment, next to the young Divine Throne, there is another thin “youngster” standing still. Judging from his standing, he seems to be a waiter serving the Divine Throne. Like Mr. Jin, One left and one right.

“There is one thing… that needs you to go.”
