Chapter 51: Night Visit
Dubu Wang Shangguan Fa stood with his hands in his hands, and across from him, more than a dozen killers carefully lifted the corpses of two Dapeng birds, and another person held the head of the female bird.
He admired his prey and was full of pride.
Jinpeng Castle, Jinpeng Castle, this name has been called for hundreds of years, how many people have seen the Jinpeng bird with their own eyes? Who has ever captured the Jinpeng bird? Only he, the seventh generation of the Dubu King, brought the greatest glory to this condescending stone castle.
This is a symbol, symbolizing that Jinpeng Fort is about to reach the top, and the dream of several generations of the Shangguan family is about to be realized in him.
Shangguan Fa was immersed in great satisfaction and joy, and his only regret was that there was a Jinpeng bird with its head cut off, and he could ask the best craftsmen in the world to make a specimen and reattach the bird's head, so seamlessly that no one could see it, but it was still an irritating absence.
The masked killers densely packed on the boulder cliff held their breath, observing every movement of the king lord according to Gu Shenwei's killer, and with just a hint, he would draw his sword and kill this inconspicuous minion.
"Did you catch it?"
A crisp voice asked, in this world exclusive to the Dubu King, only she dared to break in.
Shangguan Ru squeezed in from outside the boulder, pushed away the statue-like killers, and rushed to his father's side.
"How did you die?" her voice was visibly surprised and dissatisfied.
"Jinpeng is not an extraordinary bird, it would rather die than give in, there is no way to capture it alive. Shangguan Fa bowed his head and explained to his daughter, and in an instant, he changed from a killer king in the Western Regions to a loving father.
"Like this bird, our Shangguan family is not mortal, is it?"
Shangguan Fan was full of joy, "That's right, the Shangguan family is not mortal, we are the master, the destroyer, and the supreme, but unlike this bird, no one can force us to commit suicide." β
Gu Shenwei's heart seemed to explode, it turned out to be Shangguan Ru's informant!
The ninth prince must have sneaked to the boulder cliff, and originally wanted to scare Huan Nu, but she found the Dapeng bird, and she didn't show her voice, and actually told her father.
Gu Shenwei had always thought that he was more mature and witty than children of the same age, but now he realized that he was ridiculously naΓ―ve, and a little girl who was only twelve years old completely kept him in the dark and played with him.
"Ru'er, it was you who discovered the Jinpeng Bird, and the credit is the greatest, say, what do you want, there is nothing in the world that you can't get. β
"Oh, my father has given me the best thing in the world, what more can I ask for? β
Shangguan Ru actually invited credit for him, Gu Shenwei was shocked, and it was even more difficult to understand her thoughts, in fact, everyone saw that this little slave knew and did not report it, and committed the crime of death, but because he was a little minion, no one took him seriously, and no one wanted to go against the ninth prince.
Even the Dubu King, Shangguan Fa, was in a good mood to forgive an insignificant minion, which was unprecedented for him, and he had never let go of a rebel since he picked up his first knife at the age of five.
"Boy, what do you want?"
Shangguan Fan hugged his daughter, still watching the dead Jinpeng bird, and did not look back at the little minion who was trembling.
Gu Shenwei couldn't control the trembling from head to toe, he was afraid of this man who ordered the slaughter of the Gu family, this fear came from the heart, more than grief, more profound than hatred, he despised his cowardice, but it didn't help.
"I'm ......," Gu Shenwei's throat was so dry that it looked like hot iron, "I...... I want to be a killer!"
The killer arm pressed against his neck moved, and he seemed to be unable to help but laugh.
Shangguan Fa glanced back at the slave who was prostrate on the ground, and saw only a piece of his back. This is the advantage of the superior, the person in front of him only shows his back, so he is the least threatening, which is also the disadvantage of the superior, he does not see the face that can reveal his true emotions the most.
"Killer?"
"The little slave has learned martial arts, just to be able to enter the East Fort as a killer apprentice, if the little slave is not good at learning, although he dies without regrets. β
Disasters kept grinding the boy, and he had masterfully buried his grief deeply, wanting to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to gain a little benefit for himself.
"Okay. Shangguan Fan turned around to look at the two Jinpeng birds again, this little minion no longer existed in his mind.
The people on the boulder cliff were gone, and Gu Shenwei was the last to leave, lost his soul, and couldn't shake off this thought: he killed the Dapeng bird, but the culprit was Shangguan Ru.
Although he became an apprentice killer as he wished, this comfort was far from enough to compensate for the great grief of losing a loved one.
Soon, this little comfort became even more insignificant.
Not long after he returned to the stone house, Xue Niang ordered someone to pass him to her room.
There were only two people left, and Xue Niang's face was pale, which was the manifestation of her anger at its peak.
"Why are you hiding it from me, you stupid, mean, ungrateful dog?"
Gu Shenwei hurriedly knelt down, he forgot that Dubu Wang liked the Dapeng bird so much, which must be of great significance to Xue Niang.
Huan Nu's speechlessness made Xue Niang even more angry, in order to enter Jinpeng Castle, she waited for many years, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, she was ready to wait for many more years, but a great opportunity was in front of her, and it was wasted by this kid.
"It seems that I was wrong, I believed in you so much, but you betrayed me, I made you suffer too little. Raise your head!"
Xue Niang commanded sharply, then bent down, stretched out her iron rod-like fingers, and poked directly at the Xuanji point on Huan Nu's chest.
Suddenly, the strength was unprecedentedly strong, and a huge stream of hot gas rushed into Gu Shenwei's body, like a fierce wind sweeping away the leaves, rushing all the way to the dantian.
The fire was burning, every inch of skin, every internal organ seemed to be cracking into ashes, and he fell to the ground like a fish out of water, writhing desperately, his mouth open and closed, but he could not make a sound.
Two months ago, Gu Shenwei had this kind of crazy experience, but it can't be compared with this time, he can't survive, he can't die, the burning pain from the inside out even drives away the deep-rooted emotions of grief and hatred, he just wants to beg for mercy, but he can't open his mouth.
Hot air gushed out of his throat, as if all his internal organs had been taken away.
Xue Niang sat back in her chair, Huan Nu's pain calmed her anger a little, she drank her tea, thought about her thoughts, ignored him, and let him roll around on the floor.
In an hour when life was worse than death, Gu Shenwei walked around in hell and returned to this world.
"Well, my finger power is not much worse than that of the Dubu King, right?"
The little slave didn't dare anymore, and begged Xue Niang for forgiveness. He said in a hoarse voice.
"Get out!" exclaimed Xue Niang.
Gu Shenwei dragged his body back to the stone house and lay weakly on the earthen kang.
Fire burns everything, fire melts steel, he grinned silently, the pain was over, his heart hardened by this quenching, all are enemies, all are dead.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was in line with his current state of mind, only the dead can kill, and it didn't seem to be a prank in that book.
Gu Shenwei jumped off the kang and practiced harmony again, and he laughed again.
Xue Niang's finger power can not only bring pain, but also a beneficial help to improve internal strength, the power of that finger just now is too strong, and it actually pushed his harmony strength to the third layer of yang energy.
But why is this happening? Xue Niang definitely doesn't have this kind intention.
Gu Shenwei had already caught a clue on the kang just now, and now he finally understood that it was all because of the nameless sword book.
He had spent three days perusing the book, and although he didn't know much at the time, many words had been imprinted in his mind, and when he was tortured in the Snow Maiden's house, he unconsciously recited these words, although it did not alleviate the pain, but channeled the strength of the Snow Maiden into a driving force.
When the pain was too great, he didn't think of this at all, and now it dawned on him.
What kind of book is that?
Gu Shenwei had a large group of doubts in his heart, it was not just a sword book as it appeared, and there were also internal cultivation methods in those explanatory texts.
The more Gu Shenwei thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost wanted to go to the boulder cliff immediately to find out the book and read it again, but he still held back, it was afternoon, without the company of the twins, it was almost impossible to enter the East Fort at this time, as long as he waited until tomorrow morning, he would be able to study this mysterious book in detail.
This day seems to be a concentrated day of blessing in disguise: the roc bird is killed, but he fulfills his wish to enter the East Fort as a killer apprentice, and the snow lady makes him go crazy, but inadvertently improves his internal strength, so that he begins to understand the secret meaning of the nameless sword spectrum.
And as if all this was not enough, that night, the two people in the stone house were sleeping soundly, and suddenly they were awakened by a knock on the door.
Gu Shenwei and Lao Zhang sat up at the same time, and the person who knocked on the door had already entered the house and stood at the door.
"I have something to tell you. β
The person who came was Shangguan Ru, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly in the dark, but she could hear her voice.
Lao Zhang can be a standard good slave even if he is half-asleep and half-awake, he doesn't seem to hear anything, he falls asleep again, and even the snoring sounds, as if the action just now is just sleepwalking.
Gu Shenwei was very surprised, he hated this girl, but he didn't expect her to come to visit late at night.
Is this a new game she wants to play? or is it a new conspiracy instigated by Shangguan Yushi?
Gu Shenwei got dressed in the quilt and whispered, "Ninth Prince, what are your orders?" β
"Am I not your master?"
"Yes, Master, may I ask Master what he has told his disciples to do. β
Shangguan waved and walked out of the stone house, followed closely by Gu Shenwei, but secretly on guard.
"You really think I'm a master, right?"
There was moonlight outside, brighter than in the house, Gu Shenwei saw Shangguan Ru's serious expression, not as happy as during the day, with a big package behind him, and two knives in his right arm, the real knife was not the wooden knife when he usually practiced martial arts.
"Yes, Master, a teacher for one day and a ...... for life What the disciples said was true. β
"Okay, you can run away with me now. β
