Chapter 36: Death
In order to avenge the whole family, Gu Shenwei felt that he had already had a murderous intention, and what he had been trying to do was to hide it, not wake it up.
But when he needed to turn his murderous intent into murderous aura, the wooden knife attached to his hand and the opponent opposite, he found that everything was not easy, and he couldn't even see the twins of the Shangguan family as enemies, let alone the slaves who had lived together.
Hatred is always on call, devouring his internal organs unceremoniously, hurting his master to his heart's content, but unwilling to turn to the enemy.
Gu Shenwei held the wooden knife with both hands, and in order to have murderous intent, he had to send slaves as the person he hated the most.
Shangguan Fa, this is the person who ordered the slaughter of the Gu family, but he has never seen King Dubu, so he can't imagine him.
Shangguan was angry, and he directly killed his parents and brothers, and he was the enemy he had seen and approached, but the image of the eighth young master brought more fear, no matter whether Gu Shen wanted to admit it or not, compared with hatred, he was now more afraid of this master with a broken hand.
Han Shiqi, who infiltrated the manor as a traitor, is likely to have killed his relatives with his own hands, and he once stabbed this killer with his own hands, he was already a dead man, and he only had hatred and no fear in his heart.
Gu Shenwei had a strange feeling in his heart, the wooden knife was no longer a wooden knife, but a part of his body, although it was the first time he held it in his hand, he had twelve points of confidence, and the slave on the opposite side was no longer a slave, it was a stiff "Han Shiqi", which could be easily hit.
A fluttering voice "begins" in his ear, like a hand that has loosened the bowstring, and he is the arrow on the bow.
The two teenagers shot almost at the same time, and their moves were really too bland relative to the speed of the two, one slashing Huashan with force, and the other slashing at the lower abdomen.
The competition ended with only one move, if these were two famous figures, or adults, the onlookers would think that this was a typical master duel, but this was obviously just two teenagers, one was a slave with a blue nose and a swollen face, and the other was the weakest apprentice in the same sect, so such a scene seemed ridiculous.
"Hey, what is this? Why don't you continue to fight, who loses and who wins?" Shangguan Fei shouted first, and most of the people were of the same idea as him.
On the field, Gu Shenwei knelt on one knee, the wooden knife was across the lower abdomen of the slave, and the slave remained standing, bent over, and the wooden knife in his hand pressed on the left shoulder of Huannu.
If this is a real knife, two people have a broken stomach and intestines, and one has cut off half of their bodies, which is a fatal blow, the key is who hit the trick first, and the one who hits the first trick does not have the strength to continue to make moves, and it is natural that he will be the loser.
The two separated, each retreated, neither of them was a flamboyant person, and they would not declare victory on their own, so everyone's eyes turned to Hu Shining, he was a teacher of transmission, experienced, precise eyes, and would never be mistaken.
Hu Shining's expression was serious, as if the two teenagers had made some big mistake, he walked up to the slave, without saying a word, grabbed the wooden knife, raised it high, and then broke the wooden knife in front of everyone.
Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he walked up to Gu Shenwei with two wooden knives in his hand, and also offered the fragments without saying a word.
Gu Shenwei was a little panicked, the murderous intent was long gone, but Hu Shining's gaze was very insistent, he had to take the fragment of the wooden knife, and at the same time glanced at the opponent to send slaves.
The slave was red-faced, staring at his toes, as if he was in full view of everyone, but he didn't dare to hide it.
"The Moon Champion has won. ”
Hu Shining announced, and Shangguan Ru and the others jumped up and cheered together.
"Come again, come again. ”
Shangguan Yushi urged, but Hu Shining shook his head again and again, "No need to compare, there is no apprentice in the Carved Wood Courtyard who is his opponent." ”
The twins have fought with Huan Nu, and they feel that he and himself are between the best of the best, but they have not received the same evaluation from Hu Shining, and they can't help but be deeply puzzled.
"Hmph, I don't want to compare, let's go. Shangguan Ru thought that the other party was looking for excuses, so he turned around and left.
Gu Shenwei held a wooden knife in his hand, and still held two pieces of fragments with nowhere to put them, walked up to Hu Shining, and respectfully handed them back to him.
Hu Shining took it casually, and finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, "What's your name, why didn't you enter Dongbao?"
"My name is Huan Nu, and I have learned internal skills. ”
Hu Shining shook his head regretfully, he was able to practice a murderous aura at a young age, he was a natural killer, but it was a pity.
Gu Shenwei went to chase after the master, Hu Shining still stared at his back and shook his head, and his heart suddenly moved, this young man was quite different, and it was a bit dangerous to stay with the two sons.
But this idea only passed by in his heart, and he couldn't prove it, so he didn't want to get himself in trouble.
Behind him, the defeated slave suddenly clutched his stomach and vomited.
Outside the carved wood courtyard, as soon as Shangguan Ru saw Huan Nu coming out, he stepped forward and gave him a punch, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are good at swordsmanship, and you have been hiding with us." ”
Gu Shenwei knew that she was not really fighting, so he also smiled and received this punch, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he knelt down, "Master, how can this little bit of kung fu be compared to you." ”
"Who is your master?" Shangguan Ru asked in a loud voice, but with a smile on his face, he obviously didn't hate this title.
"When I came on behalf of our Moon Sect just now, the Ninth Prince recognized me as an apprentice. ”
Shangguan Ru tilted his head, looked at Huan Nu left and right, his expression was serious, and he suddenly couldn't help but laugh again, "For the sake of you not disgraced me today, accept your apprentice, remind you, I am a very strict master, and if the apprentice is disobedient and hardworking, he will be punished." ”
"Of course, Master Yan is like a father, and the lives of apprentices are in the hands of the master. ”
This kind of flattery, a few months ago, Gu Shenwei would blush even when he heard others say it, but now he just doesn't change his face.
This is how suffering and hatred transform a person.
If Shangguan had an apprentice, Shangguan Fei quit and shouted: "I am the deputy head, and I am also Huan Nu's master." ”
"There is only one master, and you want to be a master to collect others. Well, you two, worship him as a teacher. ”
The two scholars were also clever people, Shangguan Ru gave an order, and immediately knelt in front of the little boy, one master at a time, calling him more sincere and cordial than Gu Shenwei, Shangguan Fei became proud again.
Shangguan Yushi has been watching coldly, and he can't stand it anymore at this time, "Hmph, people deliberately let it go, what is there to be proud of." ”
Gu Shenwei was quite happy when she just won inside, but when she saw that he had to make inches and spare no effort to please Shangguan Ru, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Shangguan Ru was on the rise, holding his cousin's hand, "This is your Uncle Yu, don't see you yet." ”
When Gu Shenwei turned to Guan Yu, "The disciple pays a visit to Uncle Yu." ”
Shangguan Yu wanted to dodge, but was tightly dragged by Shangguan Ru and bowed a few times.
Shangguan Ru was still depressed because of Marshal Yang's death in the morning, but at this moment he opened the door and set up a faction, and his interest became higher and higher, "Alas, the ceremony of apprenticeship is too simple, he has his own territory in the Wood Carving Courtyard, we should also have one, where to go?"
Everyone came up with ideas, some said that the Moon Courtyard was held, some said that the Star Picking Courtyard, and some said that an empty house that Jinpeng Fort never used, Shangguan Ru was not satisfied, feeling that it was not unique enough, and there was no feeling of "territory".
In the end, it was Shangguan Yu who had the most ideas, came up with a brilliant idea, and said a few words in Shangguan Ru's ear, Shangguan Ru's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Great, that's it." ”
After speaking, he and his cousin ran to the depths of Dongbao, and the other four teenagers followed inexplicably, Shangguan Fei chased and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi didn't seem to know the exact location of that place, rushing left and right in the alley, always going around in circles, ignoring Shangguan Fei's questioning, so anxious that he jumped up and down, and kicked several times on the two "apprentices" to relieve his anger.
The six teenagers ran farther and farther, and the courtyards on both sides became scarcer, until they finally saw a cliff at the end of an alley.
Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi perked up and continued to run forward, but Shangguan Fei stopped his steps, his face changed slightly, "I know where you are going, I won't go." ”
The two scholars were still running, but when they heard the change in the voice of the little boy, they suddenly remembered something, stopped suddenly, turned around and crawled back to Shangguan Fei.
Only Gu Shenwei didn't know anything and ran to the two girls.
Shangguan Ru glanced back and said disdainfully: "Coward, you are not qualified to be a killer." Then he quickened his pace, and in a few moments the three of them reached the end of the alley.
It turns out that this is not a cliff, a stone ladder obliquely leads down, after lowering a few zhang, it reaches a fan-shaped platform, covering a wide area, and the end is really a cliff, without the slightest protection.
"This must be the place. Shangguan Yushi pretended to be mysterious and said.
Except that the terrain is a bit special, Gu Shenwei can't see anything special here, but the strange thing is that he seems to smell some kind of familiar smell in the air, but he can't think of a reason for it for a while.
"Hey, come back, it's the Cliff of the Dead, let's go play somewhere else. ”
Shangguan Fei shouted from behind, the two girls looked at each other with disdain, smiled at each other, Shangguan Yushi turned his head to look at Huan Nu, "Do you know the cliff of death?"
Gu Shenwei shook his head.
"This is the place where the Jinpeng killer finally ascended to heaven, and the dead will be thrown down from here. ”
Shangguan Yushi waited for Huan Nu to look panicked, but he just suddenly let out a sigh of enlightenment, looking around curiously, without a little fear.
Gu Shenwei was taking care of the injured in the Salary Yard, I don't know how many corpses were thrown down in the Ghost Scream Cliff, and he also had doubts, the seriously injured people in Jinpeng Fort were sent to the Salary Yard, what should be done with those who died at that time, and now he finally understands.
Xibao also has a place similar to the Cliff of the Dead, and Gu Shenwei was careful not to mention it, after all, the Salary Yard is not a glorious experience.
In the face of Huan Nu's boldness, Shangguan Yushi was surprised, and Shangguan Ru couldn't help but admire a little, but she dared to come here with courage.
As if to welcome the group of intruders, there was a sound of metal striking in the distance, and then two men in black stepped out of the alley, carrying a corpse, and silently walked towards the cliff of death.
Shangguan Fei and the two scholars had earthy faces, hurriedly opened the way, and clinged to the wall.
The corpse bearer hung his head, did not salute the little master, and continued to walk.
Shangguan Yushi and Shangguan Ru's faces were also a little pale, but the two of them only took a few steps out of the way, stood on the side of the road, watched the corpse bearer pass by, and walked down the stone stairs step by step.
The two of them still had words in their mouths, and kept repeating them, when Marshal Yang killed several killers outside the fort, Gu Shenwei also heard someone say this, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, and then he figured out the words:
"The soul is born for nine days, and the soul is into the nine abysses.
The living are miserable, but the dead are safe. ”
There were only two sentences of sixteen words, and the two of them whispered them repeatedly, as if it were a mantra to ward off evil spirits.
Gu Shenwei was suddenly deeply touched, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you reading?"
Shangguan Yushi continued to read, Shangguan Ru lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, and whispered:
"The Book of the Dead. ”
