Light Barrier

Chapter 1013

"Sister...sister?"

Li Qingsui was stunned. She thought she heard wrongly.

"follow me."

After Gu Shen said these words, he got out of the car and walked toward the top of Shenci Mountain alone.

Li Qingsui came to his senses and quickly got out of the car together.

She followed Gu Shen.

In the spiritual world, Li Qingci has been looking at the scene here. At this moment, she couldn't help it and spoke worriedly.

"Gu Shen...are you going to tell Qingsui about the existence of 【Pure Land】?"

Gu Shen's identity is too special.

The word Pluto is more important than Mount Tai.

After Li Qingci came to the 【Pure Land】, she took the initiative to ask Gu Shen not to tell Qingsui the secret here... She knew the importance of this secret to Gu Shen.

"It's time to tell her."

Gu Shen spoke softly in his heart.

"Celadon girl, are you going to hide it from her all your life? Are you willing to just keep watching her silently?"

Li Qingci was stunned and speechless.

Yes, could it be that... could she stay in the Pure Land all her life, as a spectator, and hide it until the end?

Gu Shen reached the top of the mountain and saw the carefully manicured flowerbed.

The white flowers are still there.

The nearby shrine, although without its guardian, was still very clean. The items inside were the same as before, and their placement had not changed at all, nor was there a trace of dust.

The shrine remains the same, but the old friends no longer exist.

"Gu Shen...you just asked me if I want to see my sister again. What do you mean?"

Li Qingsui has indeed become much more mature and steady.

She waited until she reached the top of the mountain before she asked.

Gu Shen slowly turned around.

He said softly: "That's what it means literally."@@@@

Li Qingsui looked confused. The next moment, Gu Shen turned around, stretched out two fingers, and gently pressed her forehead.

This time it’s no longer a case of having a brain breakdown.

But a gentle press.

"boom--"

The overwhelming blazing fire flew out from Gu Shen's fingertips and turned into a "fire curtain". The world in front of Li Qingsui began to burn. The scroll on the top of Shenci Mountain was burned and torn. Although this place has been maintained all year round, it is still under order. Wrapped in dilapidated black flowers, the top of the mountain is shrouded in shadow all year round.

After the fire burns.

The black embers all over the sky were blown away by the strong wind.

Li Qingsui fell to the ground, looking at the towering hanging tree in front of her that reached into the sky, as well as the thousands of long leaves hanging down and floating.

But one thing hasn't changed.

That is the old wooden house built on the top of Shenci Mountain.

The ancient house behind Gu Shen was still there...but in fact it was no longer the one at the top of Shenci Mountain.

After Li Qingci came to the 【Pure Land】, she deliberately built a house that was almost the same as the Shenci Mountain, which she used to rest and remember.

The reason why Gu Shen chose to climb to the top of the mountain was.

Just for this moment...

After the blazing fire transformed into the spiritual world, it seemed that nothing had changed, but everything seemed to have changed.

The shadow of the temple mountain was burned away.

The wind chimes on the eaves swayed, and there was another person on the bench that had been vacant for many years.

Li Qingsui's eyes suddenly turned red.

"......elder sister."

She looked at the figure who was thinking about it day and night, dreaming every night, and she froze in place.

The overlapping images of the temple mountain and the pure land made her mind go blank.

"There is another very important reason why I didn't tell Li Qingsui before."

Gu Shen said calmly: "She was too young at that time, and the cause and effect of the word Pluto was too great. Once it was leaked, the Li family would simply not be able to bear it."

Just Li.

These four words were enough to start a huge wave in Nagano Castle.

No matter how weak the Five Families are, they are still giants that are out of step.

But coming from Gu Shen's mouth... it was so reasonable.

Getting too close to Pluto will not end well.

Gu Shen is already deliberately "alienating" his old friends around him. He doesn't want to bring disaster to the people he cares about after he smelts fire in the future. Likewise... if Li Qingsui is made aware of his identity as "Pluto", what will happen to Li? It's definitely not good news.

Sometimes, the more you know, the better.

It is safe not to know this truth.

"So I chose to climb to the top of the temple and deliberately set up a spiritual barrier..."

Gu Shen looked at Uncle Gao who was walking alone at the foot of the mountain far away. He said solemnly: "Only Li Qingsui knows about this matter. Even Uncle Gao cannot tell it."

Li Qingsui was too young back then, and the secret was too heavy for her to bear.

And now.

Li Qingsui is old enough, and Gu Shen can also see that the little girl is much more stable.

"If there were no Shenci Mountain, there would be no you."

Gu Shen turned his head slightly and looked at the empty side. He smiled and said, "We owe Qingsui and Celadon this favor."

"us......"

Chu Ling didn't make a sound. She silently recited what Gu Shen said in her heart, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

Gu Shen promised Li Qingci that he would dye all the black flowers in Shenci Mountain white.

He also promised Li Qingsui that one day he would take her sister out of this place and see the sun in the outside world.

On the day when Li Qingci's life was exhausted, she asked Gu Shen.

Will there be a day in the future... that she and Qingsui will have a chance to meet?

It's not a spiritual meeting like today, but a real, "alive" meeting.

Gu Shen told Li Qingci that this was possible.

The celadon girl spent the most precious ten years of her life to establish the cause and effect with herself. Because of the temple mountain, she could cultivate smoothly and be promoted to the blazing fire. Because of the divine fetus, Chu Ling could successfully be born into the world... ...

In his heart, this is what he owes Li.

Therefore, he always kept those promises in his heart and never forgot them.

But now, what he can do is let the little girl who likes to cry know the truth that his sister has not completely "disappeared".

Living in this world, the more thoughts you have, the more hope you have.

Looking at the woman in a skirt sitting in the flower garden with tears streaming down her face, Gu Shen couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Okay, there's one more thing."

Gu Shen looked at the black flowers all over the mountains and plains. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his whole expression and aura became serious.

Where he stands now...

This is where Mr. Gu Changzhi stood in Li Qingci's memories back then.

When Gu Changzhi returned to Nagano after being seriously injured, he visited this shrine mountain once... Li Qingci said that Gu Changzhi stood here all night and finally picked only one black flower.

Back then, Gu Shen didn't think there was any problem with this.

But now Gu Shen doesn't think so.

Looking at it now, Mr. Gu Changzhi, who returned from the 【Old World】, clearly saw something...

That's why there was the killing game of fishing for the Dionysus in the cemetery, and the three letters.

"What's up?"

Chu Ling's thoughts also returned to the real world.

"I was thinking, given Mr. Gu Changzhi's ability, why not just clear out these black flowers?"

Gu Shen looked solemn. This temple mountain was very big to him, but to Mr. Gu Changzhi, it was probably just a mountain.

"Is it because he was seriously injured and about to fall asleep, so he was unable to pull out the black flowers?"

"Or is it because he has seen the 'future' a long time ago, so he chose to leave this temple mountain and these black flowers... all to me?"
