Chapter 467 The Wave of the Times (big chapter)

The longer some people live, the Look paler.

I came to the world with empty hands and left the world with empty hands.

But for some people, it’s the other way around.

After being blinded by desire and greed…the longer he lives and the more he has, the less willing he is to let go of those hands, even if he knows that he won’t be able to take anything with him in the end.

Li Changsheng, the Great Elder of Li’s family, is such a person who “can’t look away”.

He had everything in this world.

Identity, status, respect, wealth, power, realm.

In the entire Snow Forbidden City, no one was older than him… No one could have imagined that an old man who was sitting and watching the blossoming of a century of flowers would personally launch a subversive plan involving the entire Li family.

In the last attic of the Zongtang, the Great Elder “returned to Peak” with the Divine Power of the Divine Throne, and had a spiritual battle with Gao Tian. The long and torturous war ended in Gao Tian’s tragic victory.

Or…that ended with the withdrawal of Divine Power from the Divine Throne.

“I can’t understand.”

Chu Ling and Gu Shen stood side by side outside the wooden door of the Zongtang, looking at the slowly collapsing attic, and asked in confusion: “At his age, is he still obsessed with Li’s power?”

The last attic collapsed.

The old man’s ashes were blown by the wind and shattered together with this dilapidated “remains”.

“Maybe…because of fear.”

Gu Shen said: “The longer you live, the less you want to die. Before you leave, you always want to grab something.”

p>

Gu Nanfeng stretched out a hand and grabbed a puff of ash.

His expression was a little complicated.

Open your palms.

Lanqie controls the wind, and little by little blows away the dust and sand in the palm of his hand… Gu Nanfeng doesn’t know that the “dust particles” that fall on his palm at the moment are the old man’s. The ashes are still flying debris from the collapse of the attic.

“When I was young, I met this Great Elder. At that time, he treated people very well. Although he was old and inconvenient to move, he showed a comfortable atmosphere all over his body. That time we met, It makes me feel very comfortable, so until now, I think he is a very good old man, and even now, this impression is still preserved and has not changed.”

Gu Nanfeng said softly. : “It’s just that no wind in this world is constant, time will change a person… Maybe he is old and confused, maybe he was deceived by the wine throne, no matter the reason, he destroyed himself with his own hands. “

Everything he desperately wanted to hold.

All disappeared.

Lee will nail the sinner to the pillar of shame.

“The five patriarchs’ ancestral halls, until now, are well protected.” He looked at Gu Shen and said, “Except for Mu Clan…the long street of the Mu Clan ancestral hall was damaged. Several walls, but that’s just a small problem. Compared to…”

His voice came to an abrupt end.

The Li Clan Hall was completely burnt down, which is irreparable damage.

“Is this a serious matter?”

Chu Ling looked at the collapsed wood house and asked Gu Shen sound transmission in a low voice: “Rebuild such a wood. House, it should only take a month, maybe even shorter, the hanging plaque can be rewritten, the trees can be newly planted, and everything here can be reproduced based on the images captured by [Wind Eye].”

Gu Shen looked at the burnt down ancestral hall and said softly, “The ancestral hall can be rebuilt, and old trees can be replanted, but these are all brand-new objects. A century-long history is the most valuable asset.”

Chu Ling has some clear comprehension.

She nodded, and suddenly asked seriously: “So…the body is more important than the soul, right?”

Gu Shen startled.

He keenly captured the meaning of Chu Ling’s question.

A wish had reshaped her body.

But her soul has never changed.

“It’s not the same.”

Gu Shen laughed and said slowly: “To me, your soul is better than any body in the world.”

This is a heartfelt answer.

Chu Ling looked at him blankly and said, “Why is it so numb all of a sudden?”

“…”

Gu Shen was silent, thinking to himself It may be overestimating the thinking ability of [source code] in terms of human worldliness.

“I was just thinking that the so-called long history of the Li family’s clan may not be so precious.” Chu Ling laughed, “Six hundred years is just a tiny wave in the vast river. Ah.”

Gu Shen thought seriously.

Yes.

Standing in this long river, everyone is just a fleeting “moment”, so… six years and six hundred years are a wave that is destined to be shattered.

Gu Nanfeng folded his arms and frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

He looked at Miss Chu with a faint surprise… As expected of a strange person who inherited Qianye Master Legacy, the angle of his speech is indeed a bit strange.

Chu Ling looked at Gu Nanfeng again, comforted: “From the perspective of overlooking the long river of history, the ancestral halls of the five great masters will sooner or later be ruined, and Gu Clan will also usher in ruin.”

p>

This unremarkable “word of comfort” made Gu Nanfeng shivered.

He hurriedly held the knife and gave a salute, and asked in a serious tone, “Did you see what Miss Chu said just now using the ‘Divination Technique’?”

Chu Ling was astonished.

Gu Shen hurriedly held Gu Nanfeng’s shoulders, signaling him not to be nervous, and said embarrassingly with a smile: “Nan Brother Feng…that’s a long, long time later.”

…

…

Gao Tian’s injuries were not serious.

The battle with the Great Elder was probably a wrestling fight.

The Divine Power of the Divine Throne gave the Great Elder a chance to “Return to the Light” and “Return to the Peak” Divine Vestige.

But in fact, even the Great Elder in the Peak state cannot directly kill Gao Tian, he can only imprison him, and in this cage, he will spend a long time in the spirit…

p>

Now that this war has come to an end, it is hard to say who it was tortured.

The Libra of Victory is actually tilting towards the sky.

Even if the Divine Throne did not take back the Divine Power…it should have ended with Gao Tian defeating the Great Elder, but he had to pay a heavy price.

As the existence of Nagano Castle’s “spirit strength” firmly ranking in the top three, Uncle Gao has at least half a year and can’t do his best. His spiritual field has shrunk greatly. Fortunately, these can be recovered.

And today’s Li family, there is not so much turmoil, and it needs Gao Tian to come forward to deal with it.

This rebellion was a major event that shocked the entire Nagano Castle.

However, in this major event of Qingzhong Cemetery affecting Dongzhong, it is not so conspicuous.

After confirming that Gao Tian is safe.

Li Qingsui little girl took Uncle Gao and the entire group to go to Shenci Mountain. At the foot of Shenci Mountain, a group of “sinners” who chased and killed her and her elder sister were also detained.

On the way to the Shrine Mountain.

Very quiet.

Uncle Gao did not drive this time, but sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes and resting.

He suddenly asked, “Miss, what are you going to do with these people?”

Li Qingsui was silent for a while.

Actually, before she left for the cemetery, she had already figured out how to deal with it… If she loses, then these people can become bargaining chips, at least in exchange for the elder sister’s freedom .

If it wins, as it is now.

“It’s all cut.”

Li Qingsui spit out these three words lightly, seemingly casual, but the killing intent is awe-inspiring.

Gu Shen hearing this , the hairs stand up faintly.

With what he knows about this little girl…

This is mostly true.

In fact, this idea is not too much. Every transcender who comes to Shenci Mountain is equivalent to a sword with a ceiling. If Chu Ling does not appear, then the two sisters, Li Qingsui and Li Qingci, will Lose all power, and freedom.

A crusade against traitors is naturally punishable!

It’s just that Li’s family is now experiencing a huge impact. If all these “old people” in the Elder Council are eradicated, then Li’s family will fall into an unprecedented period of weakness.

“Then…they can’t be allowed to leave the shrine mountain.” After Uncle Gao heard this, his expression did not change at all, he said lightly, “If it is released, it will become very troublesome. According to the process of federal law, they will not die.”

The meaning of this sentence seems to be that Uncle Gao will take action and kill all these people in the shrine mountain.

But listen carefully.

In fact, it is a faint hint.

Li Quhu said before his death that he hoped Li Qingsui could be kind, but not so kind.

The matter of concurrent killing is drastic.

But…too cruel.

“I don’t want to leave trouble…”

Li Qingsui of course heard what Uncle Gao meant, lowered his eyes, and said softly, “When they want to kill me, they can. No consideration for federal law.”

took a deep breath.

Li Qingsui raised his head, looked at Uncle Gao, and asked in confusion, “If it was a father…what would he do?”

“Kill half, keep half.”

Gao Tian said softly: “The crime is serious, and the punishment is successive. There is a mastermind in this betrayal and must be executed, and those with lesser crimes can stay. But the half, it is not that we will not be investigated. After Li’s change of blood, we will investigate slowly.”

“Don’t worry about Li’s difficulties.”

Gu Nanfeng said softly, “I have already talked to Huazhi. During this time, Dadu’s wife will lend a helping hand to the five families.”

…

…

Bits and pieces of trivial matters , processed one by one.

The wounded in the cemetery were sent to the treatment point one after another.

The surrounding area of Kiyozuka was pulled up by a long protective belt by the Security Committee, which was re-blocked with a domain-type sealed item, leaving only one entrance and exit, which was guarded by a large number of transcenders.

At present, the cemetery is broken, and there are still turbulent turbulent flows around it.

The most important formation mark is still under reconstruction.

It’s just that this time…no need to sneak up on repairs, a lot of formation mark materials were sent to Nagano under the mobilization of the Eastern Continent Federation, and it won’t be long before the broken formation mark can be restored .

The entrance to the cemetery.

“Mr. Gu! Miss Chu!”

It is the old acquaintance Duwe of the Security Committee who is in charge of the guarding task.

As a capable general under Zhou Wei, although Du Wei did not directly participate in the rescue operation of this cemetery mission, he was also credited with great merit because of the excellent scheduling work. He met Gu Shen. , took the initiative to come and say hello.

“Mr. Du…”

Gu Shen smiled and shook hands with Du Wei.

At the beginning of the birth of Gold Gate, he was still trapped in the building. He was detained by the committee because of the fight on Long Street. Although there was an oral order from Zhou Wei’s Old Master, Du Wei secretly helped him. A lot of work, he still remembers.

Good at capturing the fiery fire of emotions, it jumped slightly.

He felt Du Wei’s overwhelmed by emotions at the moment, so he said with a smile: “Congratulations, you should be about to be promoted.”

Du Wei’s expression was startled, enduring The corners of his lips twitched, then he coughed, suppressed his smile, and said cautiously, “That’s not a good thing to say… Someone is watching.”

Behind Du Wei, there were several guards The transcenders at the entrance of the cemetery were all excited. Due to their position and status, they could only watch from a distance.

The change of the cemetery at this time can be described as the biggest catastrophe that Nagano has encountered in the past 100 years.

Mr. Gu Shen, by the strength of oneself, saved many lives.

The transcenders of the five masters of the three institutes have all suffered from this “blessing”. After leaving the cemetery, they passed on the deeds of the great cold disaster by word of mouth.

“Brother Gu, now…you are the hero of Nagano.”

Du Wei took a deep breath, said with a smile: “Many people want to meet you On the one hand, it’s very difficult. Now I can shake hands with Brother Gu and talk a few words in front of my colleagues. It’s really bright and proud.”

Gu Shen also laughed.

But in fact, he was quite emotional… Not long ago, he was still living in seclusion in the city of Nagano and devoted himself to cultivation as a spectator.

It’s just a sudden gale, merely a trifling night, that blows him to the top of the worldly tide.

Came to this location.

Time is also life.

So he didn’t pretend to be polite and said something like a fluke, but said sincerely: “Brother Du, don’t be polite, you and I are friends at all times, and we will be friends before tonight. That’s true, and it’s going to be true after tonight.”

Dumbfounded.

Both of his hands folded and said sincerely, word by word: “Brother Gu, Du Mou sincerely wishes that you can go higher and higher in the future.”

Gu Shen laughed again. .

He took something out of his arms and said softly, “Brother Du, please return this thing to Old Master Zhou Wei… This is the sealed item that Elder Zhou gave me before entering the mausoleum. Now that the mausoleum is safe, it will be returned.”

It was a wolf hair brush wrapped in special rice paper.

Communications Sealed Artifact, [Ten Thousand Miles].

This is a precious A-Rank Sealed Artifact… Du Wei, heart shivered with cold, hurriedly took it with both hands.

“Also…I want to enter the mausoleum now, is there any problem?”

Gu Shen raised his head and looked at the entrance of the mausoleum.

“Naturally there is no problem.” Duwe said with a smile.

The Qingzhong Cemetery was originally the residence of Master Qianye.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling are the Disciple of Master Qianye.

When other people enter the mausoleum, the safety committee has to consider one or two things, while Gu Shen and Chu Ling… Transcenders of the committee, of course, will not stop it.

……

……

Inside the cemetery, it is dilapidated and desolate.

Looking at the broken formation marks everywhere, Gu Shen looked a little sad.

He certainly didn’t feel bad for these formation marks that were damaged in the battle of gods.

But from the moment you step into the cemetery, you can’t help but see things and think about people.

Seeing the formation marks, Gu Shen remembered Master Qianye who taught him the technique of formation marks.

The dead are gone.

He entered the mausoleum this time to get the three letters left by Mr. Gu Changzhi.

The fog of the inner mausoleum dissipated to bits and pieces.

The mysterious veil that shrouded the hills was blown away by the cold wind.

As for those rolling hills and ridges, some of them were also destroyed in the battle of gods…

Stepping into the inner mausoleum, there is no four seasons wilderness, and no sitting upside down. Woman in cat mask on tree.

The four walls of the inner mausoleum are empty.

The wind howled and slammed back and forth.

Gu Shen found a dirt pit at the location informed by Mr. Gu Changzhi… He dug the dirt pit and found three buried letters. In fact, these three letters were not buried. .

Twenty years ago, Gu Changzhi came to the cave in the mountains, and the Qingzhong cemetery had not yet been built.

He placed the envelope on the stone platform.

Twenty years of wind and rain blowing, the Divine Power in the wilderness of the four seasons spreads, the stone platform falls ashes, slowly collapses and becomes shorter, but finally it merges into the mud… Fortunately, the surface of the three letters Divine might remain that has been wiped out by the fighting fire.

Even though the stone platform was eroded, the three letters were not damaged in the slightest.

It’s just the surface of the letter, slightly yellowed, and three surnames are written on the corner of the envelope.

Gu, Lin, Meng.

You can clearly tell who these three letters are addressed to without opening them.

Gu Shen put away all three letters.

Then he took out the one with “Gu” written on it.

“The first letter…to Gu Qilin, Gu Old Master.”

……

……

Gu Qilin’s Old Master is not healing in the ward of Nagano Snow Forbidden City.

In the battle with Gu Lushen, Old Master’s muscles and bones were severely traumatized, and several ribs were broken. In addition, his heart was almost pierced by [Haoyue].

Even with such a serious injury, he still insisted on returning to the Gu Clan church.

At this time.

It was getting dark.

Gu Qilin was sitting in a wheelchair and came to the courtyard. He had a naked upper body with muscular muscles and a bandage wrapped around his chest and waist. This was not ordinary. The bandages are vaguely visible, with golden light oozing out. These bandages themselves are the top healing sealed items in the Snow Forbidden City.

The person pushing the wheelchair is Gu Shen.

He found Old Master, and just as he was about to deliver Gu Changzhi’s letter, Old Master stopped him and let him push him to the courtyard of the Zongtang. Gu Clan deserves to be the first of the five masters. The courtyard of the Zongtang is huge, and there is also a large-scale rockery in the middle. The flowing water reflects the moonlight.

The Old Master said softly, “You will first accompany me to enjoy the scenery.”

Gu Shen nods and gently un’ed.

This is just a rockery after all… the scenery of the rockery is actually nothing to admire.

Gu Shen saw Old Master sitting in a wheelchair, leaning over slightly, staring at the waves reflected on the lake.

There is nothing here.

There was only an old, haggard face.

The old man stared at the surface of the water and said softly, “You know what? These injuries are nothing. I suffered more serious injuries sixty years ago.”

“The North Continent’s During the battle of Nanti Fortress, a shell hit half of my body…and it exploded like that.”

Gu Qilin said calmly: “I was seriously injured and passed out in a coma. For a moment, I thought my life was over like this. Even if I survived, only half of it was left… I slept for three days and three nights. When I woke up, I heard the doctor’s report. It’s just broken a dozen bones.”

Just…?

Gu Shen has a wonderful expression.

At this level of injury, most transcenders will die directly… A small number, like Song Ci’s [Undead], will also suffer heavy injuries, the most painful injuries, even if extraordinary natural talent can recover completely, and also need to suffer through the long recovery period, every minute and every second is a kind of torture.

I have to admit that the young Gu Qilin possesses a terrifying body cultivator ability.

“Half a month, I’ll be discharged from the hospital.”

Gu Qilin laughed and asked, “Is my health not bad… The war hit Luoyin City, I His mother rushed to the front line excitedly, and then got another shot, this time was even worse than the last time, her head almost fell to the ground, and I lay there for a full month.”

Gu Shen was completely silent after hearing this. .

He seriously doubted that Old Master’s ability was not “Infinite Scale”, but “Undead”.

“1 month later, I rushed to the battlefield again.”

Gu Qilin said Faintly: “That’s it… I don’t know how many shells I’ve been hit, how many shuttle bullets I’ve carried. , all the way to the end of the Beizhou Imperial War, the new emperor became a very good friend with me, but unfortunately his life was not very good, he died too early, and I was still burning paper for him not long ago.”

Talking and talking.

“When I was burning the paper, I laughed at this guy. I already saw that he was not strong enough to live long.”

His voice was a little hoarse, “It’s just ironic that …it won’t be long before it will be your turn and Nanfeng to burn paper for me.”

In the swaying mirror surface of the lake, the old man extended the hand and touched his cheek.

He is no longer young.

This flourishing period can withstand cannonballs, but it’s also aging.

“Gu Lushen…what a bastard.” Gu Qilin coughed and said gloomily, “If he were ten years younger…I must peel this kid off.”

p>

After he finished speaking, he paused in silence for a while, then said with a smile lonely: “Maybe ten years old is not enough…”

Gu Qilin couldn’t bear to look at the mirror on the lake The one in the aging self.

The tide of the times pushed him to the top.

It also pushed him to the bottom.

This is an irresistible force, no one can resist it.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, leaned on the wheelchair, his back straight.

“I always thought that apart from fighting, I only had one advantage left, and that was my ability to see people accurately.”

Gu Qilin looked at Gu Shen , said with a smile: “I like you, I like Gu Nanfeng, I like Gu Changzhi… You will all become great people.”

“But I also like Gu. Lu Shen.”

A new faction was established.

Subvert Nagano.

Gu Lushen has indeed accomplished many things that ordinary people cannot.

He stood on the top of Nagano and became one of the very best of the three schools and five majors.

However, all of this went against Gu Qilin’s vision.

And, the opposite.

“I even thought…to give the Gu family to him.”

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply sunk, he lit a cigar, Gently exhaled a large puff of smoke, said with a smile: “It’s… stupid.”

These words.

He couldn’t tell anyone else.

Only Gu Shen.

And Gu Shen is very patient, he has been quietly listening to the old man’s thoughts that have nowhere to tell, but his fingers are on the inside of the jacket, touching the letter, ready to take it out at any time.

“Take the things out.”

After smoking a cigar, Old Master Gu faintly said: “I guess Gu Changzhi left it for me.”

……
