Barrier of Light

"Young Master, the Gu family already knows about your return to Dongzhou. It's just that some old guys are still pretending to be confused. I guess they won't be able to pretend for long..."

"Today's reception is my personal banquet. It is not a grand event."

The helicopter took off slowly in the snow.

Luo Yu's laughter was interrupted by Gu Nanfeng's solemn voice.

"Fat man..."

Gu Nanfeng, who was holding the wooden sword, said seriously: "Just call me like before, you don't need to call me young master."

Fatty Luo was startled.

Eight years apart.

The memory is a little blurry... Now all that's left is the blurry figure of Gu Nanfeng looking back with a smile and waving to himself when they were leaving.

yes.

Eight years have passed by, and by that time they were already close partners.

It's just that Luo Yu was born in poverty.

He is a "lucky man" who was favored and cultivated by the Gu family. Because of his unique command talent, he was specially summoned to the command post. He accompanied the future head of the Gu family, Gu Nanfeng, to study together, practice fighting, practice extraordinary things, and cultivate strategies... At that time, everyone around him called Young Master Gu Nanfeng respectfully, but he didn't, and always addressed him by his first name.

But I never thought that after eight years of separation.

See you again.

It was actually difficult to say the other party's name. I wanted to pronounce a "title"... I had thousands of choices in my mind, but the word "Young Master" came out of my mouth in the end.

"Gu..."

Fatty Luo's tongue seemed to be frozen.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Let me get acquainted with you slowly... Young Master, it's not that I don't want to get acquainted with you, but after following the commander to report tasks for these years, how can I dare to speak out? He usually talks about you all the time, thinking about you in his heart. I look forward to your return from Beizhou and inheriting the position of the head of the Gu family, so I am accustomed to calling you Young Master. You also know that I am not someone who is called two different things."

When Gu Nanfeng heard this, he didn't say anything and could only give up.

He smiled and said: "How is your uncle's health?"

"What a powerful word."

Fatty Luo sighed with emotion: "If you don't come back, he will probably take me to visit the Beizhou Fortress... I heard that the fortress has not been peaceful these days, and he seems to be very interested..."

Gu Shen and Lu Nanjin looked at each other and listened with bated breath.

The teacher went to Beizhou this time... because the senior sister sent a "distress signal".

With Senior Sister Luo's strength, I am afraid that only S-level missions can slightly hinder her. Zhou Jiren did not tell anyone about the contents of that hair, not even his two closest disciples...

Don't say it, not because of distrust.

It's because it will be more troublesome if you say it.

With the current strength of Gu Shen and Lu Nanjin... there would be no benefit in knowing.

"tell me the story."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and spoke.

Fatty Luo glanced at the two friends from the adjudication office behind him and said with a smile: "It is said that a new 'wonderful realm' was discovered outside the fortress... It seems that some incredible 'ancient sealed artifact' has been unearthed. There are many extraordinary All of them are trapped in the Wonderful Realm. The specific situation is not known yet, and all forces are still searching."

"Wonderful Realm?"

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

"Similar to existences in the spiritual realm... Extremely powerful sealed objects will emit chaotic spiritual power. In an environment rich in extraordinary source matter, these spiritual powers will condense on their own and spread, eventually forming a 'wonderful realm'." Chu Ling explained: "People's popular name is 'Wonderful Realm', but the academic school in Zhongzhou calls it 'Disaster Realm'. Because once you step into it, basically nothing good will happen to you."

"Similar to [Dream]?"

Gu Shen thought of Zhou Yu's ability that was almost S-level rated.

"Yes... the lethality of the Newborn Wonderful Realm may not be comparable to the Dacheng [Dream Dream] that goes all out to try to destroy. But after all, it is the power of an owner without any consumption cost. In other words, it Growth that can last for years and decades.”

Chu Ling said: "Wonderful realms are often found outside Beizhou Fortress... The areas where wonderful realms are born are often accompanied by a large number of order-breaking points and other unknown extraordinary phenomena. Basically, it will be a super-large realm."

"The reason why it is called a disaster situation is because if you step into it, you will definitely bring disaster to yourself."

"The reason why it is called Wonderful Realm is also very simple... a sealed object that can spontaneously condense and give birth to this super-large spiritual realm is an absolute S-level sealed object." Chu Ling said calmly, "This is the first-class one in the world. Wonderful thing."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, "So... senior sister is in a wonderful state?"

"High probability." Chu Ling thought for a while and said: "High probability. The news has not spread yet. It seems that it is spread through private channels..."

Gu Shen probably had a guess in his mind.

With Senior Sister Luo's strength, apart from the Wonderful Realm, there is probably nothing that can stop her.

Because I am trapped in a wonderful place.

So the deep sea link was interrupted... Similarly, because he didn't want to miss the opportunity, he used the characteristics of his sealed object to send a strand of [hair] to the fortress, and entrusted Duke Zhuxue to hand it over to the teacher.

"Actually, I'd like to see it."

Fatty Luo clenched his fists and listened to the crackling sound of his iron hands. He chuckled and said, "What does the Wonderful Realm look like?"

"I have watched such a scene from afar in Beizhou...Many extraordinary people have stepped into the wonderful realm, looking for opportunities. Even the extraordinary people with title level have entered it. It is a pity that it is an illusion."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "In fact, compared to the Wonderful Realm, I think the term 'Disaster Realm' is more appropriate. Many people lost their lives, and the powerful ones were able to save themselves, but in the end they quit in embarrassment..."

Luo Yu was a little surprised and asked: "No one got the sealed artifact in the end?"

"It's just a disordered condensation of mental power." Gu Nanfeng smiled and shook his head, "Not all wonderful places can be taken away... For example, [Qing Tomb], it doesn't matter even if Mr. Gu Changzhi wakes up, this is the Something that doesn’t go away.”

This sentence seemed to wake up Luo Yu.

He fell into a long examination... Yes, whether it is a wonderful realm or a disaster realm, it is essentially a huge field formed by the combination of spiritual power and extraordinary source matter.

It's not like he's never seen a wonderful place before... there's one in Nagano Castle.

[Qingzhong], known as one of the miracle places, isn't it a huge and wonderful place?

"No matter how you practice...human beings are insignificant."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "Climbing a certain mountain does not mean conquering it... The mountain is still a mountain, and you are still you. If the mountain is angry, you only need a slight shock. No matter how capable you are, Even if you can avoid death, you will still be seriously injured. If an ancient sealed object that has accumulated extraordinary essence for hundreds of years and thousands of years comes out, it will not be an opportunity, but a disaster. Even a title-level extraordinary person will be far away. Stay away.”

"certainly……"

Gu Nanfeng smiled again and said, "I'm talking about people, except those seven."

"...Six of them." Fatty Luo added with a smile: "Except for the one sleeping in the tomb, one of them has already gone."

Today, there are six divine thrones in the five continents.

The vacant throne...has been confirmed dead.

"Speaking of which... Over the years, other continents have not dared to covet the Snow Forbidden City. I heard it was because..." Fatty Luo was beaming and lowered his voice, "The person who has been confirmed dead was killed by Lord Gu Changzhi!"

Hear this.

Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat.

He vaguely recalled what Mr. Gu Changzhi said to him in the Golden God Realm...

"I don't know if it's true or not..."

Fatty Luo felt a little regretful and murmured: "The timeline doesn't seem to match up, but the only one who can kill a god is a god? The main reason is that Lord Gu Changzhi has been in a deep sleep for a long time, so we don't dare to ask..."

Gu Changzhi killed a god?

Gu Shen suddenly thought of the ruler in his sleeve... and Gu Changzhi's serious warning to him...

You wouldn't say that this ruler is a relic of the God's throne, right?

…

…

Helicopters are very fast.

In ten minutes we arrived above the Snow Forbidden City.

The snow is getting heavier and thicker, forming a layer of goose feathers.

Looking down at the Snow Forbidden City from a high altitude, it is a magnificent sight. This historic "ancient city" is neatly sized, horizontally and vertically, and extremely symmetrical. After heavy snow falls, it becomes a vast expanse of white, pure and solemn, and intimidating... It's just that The final landing point was not within the Snow Forbidden City. The helicopter went all the way north, passed the head of the Snow Forbidden City, and landed in a suburb of the North City.

We left by car from the tarmac and finally arrived at our destination after dozens of minutes.

This is a residence very similar to a house in the old city.

There is a pair of stone lions in front of the door, with a plaque hanging above the door and a three-character inscription.

Qianlong Temple.

Gu Shen was no stranger to this pair of stone lions... He had seen a pair in front of the house in Shishi Lane in the old city. However, in terms of sculpture craftsmanship, they were lifelike, and here they were several times better, without being angry or imposing.

Lao Lu's house was arranged very casually.

And this set... just looking at the door head can tell that it is extraordinary.

Hidden dragon... Hidden dragon in the abyss.

Or...don't use Qianlong?

Gu Nanfeng stared at the door plaque, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "I'm determined."

"Where, time is in a hurry, so I can only prepare a place to stay." Fatty Luo smiled and opened the door and said: "Young Master... you just don't mind it."

He really took advantage of the young master of the Gu family.

Gu Shen made some mental preparations, but was still shocked after entering the door... He knew very well that Nagano should be a place like Dadu, where every inch of land was at a premium. However, when the door opened... it turned out to be an elegant manor with flowing water.

manor.

manor……

"If you're not satisfied, can I go buy it tomorrow?" Fatty Luo asked cautiously.

"No need, it's already very good here."

After eight years of keeping things simple in Hokkaido, I felt a little uncomfortable returning to Nagano.

Gu Nanfeng shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, just find a place to live... I'm not that particular. The old man spent a lot of money to buy this manor."

Fatty Luo laughed quickly and said: "What do you call this...my own yard is empty even if it is empty..."

Gu Shen fell into silence after listening.

The last time he was so silent was Justice Tang, who owned an entire Lipu Street.

really.

Each mountain is higher than the other.

Fatty Luo smiled again and said, "Actually, the neighboring villas are also vacant. Miss Lu and Brother Gu, if they don't mind, they can choose a place they like to stay..."

Gu Shen still wanted to be polite, but Lu Nanjin had already selected a house not far away with the scabbard of her long sword.

"Thanks...I'll choose that one."

The tip of Lu Nanjin's knife points to the wind, which is engraved on the plaque.

The word "shanfeng" means "Lan".

The wind coming also has a deep meaning, and the meaning of the wind coming is also very good... This series of classical forest villas have very elegant and ancient names.

Senior Sister Nan Jin is welcome.

Gu Shen thought about it and understood the reason... Because of his humble background, so far, he is still not used to other people's "generous acts", but little does he know that this is no longer generosity. For the Gu family , when distinguished guests come to visit, they should naturally be treated with courtesy.

This is the most basic etiquette.

rather than a favor.

Lu Nanjin didn't even say any polite words... because she didn't think there was anything to be polite about. Her father was Lu Cheng and he held Huazhi shares. These things were all vulgar.

In fact, she didn't choose carefully, she just pointed at the adjacent building.

I came to Nagano just to practice swordsmanship with Gu Nanfeng.

If Gu Nanfeng wants to live here, even if Fatty Luo doesn't say anything, she will live nearby... The big deal is to buy this house.

Things that can be solved with common things are not things.

Fatty Luo saw Gu Shen's flash of hesitation, understood it, and said with a smile: "Actually, the old man and the respected master have known each other for a long time, and they have always wanted to chat. It's just that the Grand Adjudicator has been reluctant to return to Nagano for a long time, so we haven't talked for a long time. However, we have a deep friendship and have always told me that if I have the opportunity to come into contact with my disciples, I must treat them with courtesy."

He understood Gu Shen's thoughts very well.

The new S-class member of the ruling house was from an ordinary background like himself. He should have just come into contact with the extraordinary world not long ago... Luo Yu seemed to see his own shadow in the past. After a while, Gu Shen should realize it.

vulgarian.

These are common things.

Compared with the responsibilities that extraordinary beings have to bear...these gifts from worldly things are not even small favors.

There's really nothing worth taking to heart.

So he paused and then said with a smile: "This is a group of villas built in the early years. It has been idle. The old man also complained that it was really deserted. But desertedness has the advantage of being deserted. Although these villas are not in the Snow Forbidden City, they are located in remote places. , but the scenery is elegant and pleasing to the eye, and the practice and mind are excellent. If Brother Gu wants to devote himself to practice for a period of time, then choose one to live in, and I can go back to pay my respects to the old man."

This is so beautifully said that it leaves people speechless.

Even Chu Ling sighed softly: "Is this the human art of speaking? I don't seem to be able to learn it well."

Gu Shen agreed from the bottom of his heart.

In the end, he chose the one he liked most among the many villas, which was a little farther away from Lu Nanjin and Gu Nanfeng.

Spring rain.

Continuous spring rain can give birth to new shoots.

I am currently practicing the "Jingzhe Scroll", and I came to Nagano to have a glimpse of the "Grain Rain Scroll". The combination of the two means complete spring. This is the first season of the four-season wilderness. The meaning of the word "spring rain" just fits me. Mind.
