Gu Shenwei was very surprised, he was still in danger of going mad, and in the past few months, he had experienced two more painful tortures, but he immediately understood why the lotus girl had such doubts.

He used to practice martial arts with the lotus girl, and at that time his internal strength was just average, but now he has killed the enemy with one sword in the monthly test three times in a row, and his skill has increased significantly, and it seems that he has eliminated the hidden dangers in the Xuanji acupoint.

"No, you're misleading, I'm ...... There are other reasons. ”

"I thought the two of us had an agreement, that we were friends in the same camp. ”

The Lotus Girl obviously didn't believe his words, Gu Shenwei was not surprised by this, he was weighing the matter in his heart.

Gu Shenwei used to be a naïve and naïve young master, but since the death of his family, he has become more suspicious than the most sophisticated old man, he instinctively does not trust anyone, and it is precisely because of this that he can't make a friend in the castle.

But the word "friend" is a huge temptation, he needs friends, single-handedly can never take revenge, even if a person practices invincible martial arts in the world, it is impossible to defeat Jinpeng Castle, which has tens of thousands of entrenched disciples.

"I'll show you something. ”

Gu Shenwei made a decision, found the nameless sword book from the place where the book was hidden under the boulder, and solemnly handed it to the lotus girl, "Look at the last few pages." ”

The Lotus Girl took the tattered book, glanced at it briefly, and closed it again.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, I got it by chance, memorize the last few pages of the text, and recite it silently in my heart when I go crazy, this can't get rid of the finger power planted by Xue Niang, but it can enhance internal strength, you can try it and know. ”

The Dutch girl was as suspicious as Huan Nu, and the terrifying pictures in the book were difficult for people to take as internal skills, so she opened the book again, and her eyes stayed on the last few pages.

"You can take it, it won't hurt to memorize it anyway. ”

"I'll give it back to you. ”

"Well, but I want to warn you, it's best not to learn those sword styles in the front, I used them once, and I almost had my opponent's wrist cut off. ”

The Lotus Girl nodded, "Well, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, and that bird......"

"I'm not going to tell anyone. ”

The lotus girl left with the nameless sword book, and Gu Shenwei waited for a while before leaving, not knowing whether her decision was correct or not.

The death of Shangguan Yuxing and the clouded leopard and the clothes left on the edge of the cliff naturally caused countless rumors, but Jinpeng Fort did not seriously investigate the matter, and quickly accepted the conclusion drawn from the ambiguous scene, the death of an unsuccessful Shangguan family child and an apprentice who had not yet graduated from the teacher was far less important than the death of a killer.

But the development of things was not as simple as the Dutch girl predicted, and it was also diametrically opposed to Gu Shenwei's original expectation: no one avenged Shangguan Yuxing, not even his sister Shangguan Yushi, but the clouded leopard provoked a series of revenge actions.

Gu Shenwei's fourth monthly test went very well, the original opponent was dead, and the apprentice who was temporarily transferred was average, only fighting less than ten moves, and he was stabbed in the waist, and his body was almost broken in two.

In the evening of the same day, Gu Shenwei went to buy wine for his master again, and encountered his first assassination in the ruins of Mudao Lane.

There are always the most customers in front of the wine stall, and a dozen killers and killer apprentices are huddled together, like a lion and tiger in a cage, and it is rare that nothing has happened for so many years.

Until this day, it was mid-autumn, and the stone castle was already very cool at night.

Gu Shenwei happened to be crowded in the middle of the crowd, there were people in front and behind when the dagger stabbed, there was almost no room to dodge, and at the critical moment, it was the family heirloom Harmony that saved his life.

Yang Jin drummed and Yin energy condensed, Gu Shenwei's waist muscles slid forward two inches, dodged the fatal blow, and then desperately pushed everyone away, rushed into the wine stall, knocked over the small light illuminated, and the scene was immediately chaotic.

Until the end, Gu Shenwei couldn't confirm who the assassin was, let alone understand how the riot broke out, as if there were people hiding in the crowd who fished in troubled waters and robbers who took advantage of the fire, and they also started to do it at the moment when the assassination began.

The commotion in the black market continued for a quarter of an hour, until the night watchmen arrived and quickly dispersed the crowd.

A total of ten people died, only three were killer apprentices, and the remaining seven were all servants of the various courtyards who came here to sell things.

Afterwards, he was very glad that he obeyed the arrangement of reason at that time and escaped in the dark, instead of staying at the scene to arrest the murderer.

The dagger didn't hit the vital point, but it still left a penetrating blood hole in Gu Shenwei's waist, although he already had a lot of scars on his body made by Master Tie Hanfeng, this was the first commemoration carved by the assassin.

Gu Shenwei ran back to his residence out of breath, his waist was bleeding nonstop, Tie Hanfeng, who was waiting for the wine, didn't say a word, first bandaged the apprentice's wounds, and then listened to him tell what happened, and finally smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's like this every year, if the apprentice doesn't come to such a few times, it will be abnormal, and the death of twenty or thirty people will be honest, although rest assured." ”

Tie Hanfeng swore by it, and went down the mountain early the next morning to busy his "business".

But this is not a "once-a-year" petty fight, but a once-in-a-decade massacre.

The next day, everything was calm during the day, and the fort did not track down the events of the previous night, and when the evening came, the night awakened the killer apprentices' hearts to kill and poke instincts, and the assassinations happened one after another, just after midnight, the frenzy temporarily ended, and in the southeast corner of Jinpeng Castle, thirty-four corpses were already lying down.

Gu Shenwei was assassinated for the second time, and the two masked men seemed to know that Tie Hanfeng had not returned from the mountain, so they directly climbed over the wall and touched the small courtyard.

Gu Shenwei did not fully accept the master's statement, and kept his vigilance, wearing clothes when he went to bed, holding a narrow knife in his hand, and when the assassin walked to the side of the bed and raised the knife to attack, he stabbed the other party in the heart.

The assassin in the house died quietly, and the wind-bearers outside felt that something was wrong and immediately fled.

Gu Shenwei uncovered the black cloth of the deceased's face and saw an unfamiliar face, so he resisted the corpse, went out of the house and piled it under the courtyard wall, and went back to sleep.

The next day, Tie Hanfeng still didn't come back, and the Lotus Girl came early in the morning, not only returning the nameless sword book, but also bringing ten apprentices, who wanted to make a life-and-death alliance with Huan Nu.

The Lotus Girl came in first, handed back the sword spectrum, and didn't say a word about it, Gu Shenwei immediately understood that the Lotus Girl had just experienced the magic of the text, and verified the magical effect of that text.

"Those of us need to join forces. ”

"We?"

"Well, we, many people, can only be protected from the plots of the 'Snow Mountain Gang' if we join forces. ”

"It seems that this has to be the case. ”

The Lotus Maiden went out and called in ten apprentices, and when they entered the courtyard, they all saw the corpses in the corner, and their confidence immediately rose.

The person in charge of explaining the whole incident was not a Dutch girl, but an apprentice who was already seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was the oldest of the people.

The origin of the Jinpeng Castle Killer Apprentice is very complicated, there are slaves recommended by various academies, but this is only a few, most of them are children who are bought or stolen from all over the Western Regions, these children are less than ten years old, and they must first be trained outside for a few years, completely forgetting their backgrounds, and then sent to Dongbao to participate in apprenticeship training.

During this time, these children forget their surnames, their parents, their hometowns, and their minds are full of thoughts of murder and allegiance, and the strongest killers often come from among them.

However, because these children have been together for a long time, the phenomenon of forming gangs is extremely serious, and uncontrollable vendettas often occur between gangs, which is the root of Tie Hanfeng's so-called "every year".

This year is the same, there is a group of teenagers, about dozens of people, strong martial arts, ruthless, just entered the fire refining academy to emerge, they have a common characteristic, in order to adhere to the strictest adherence to the principle of killer silence, voluntarily cut off their tongues.

In the Western Regions, people habitually regard people with fierce tongues as residents of the Great Snow Mountain, so these teenagers are called the "Snow Mountain Gang", and some of them are indeed the children of Jinpeng Castle snatched out of the Great Snow Mountain, they have long since remembered their life experience, but regard Jinpeng Castle as a loyal object, and will become a killer in the future, and will not show mercy to the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain.

The Snow Mountain Gang has always been rampant, causing a lot of trouble among the apprentices.

Clouded leopard is an important member of the Snow Mountain Gang, he died in the boulder cliff for no reason, and was charged with dirty, the people in the gang swore to avenge him, the first suspect was naturally the Huan slave who went to throw the corpse at that time, and the second was the lotus girl who went to throw the corpse later, but at the beginning of the assassination activity, the target was infinitely expanded, and other gangs took the opportunity to get rid of the enemy.

"We are all slaves in the fort, and those who were recommended to the east fort, although each has its own master, it is also a gang, and others call us 'arm slave gang'. ”

All the slaves in Jinpeng Castle had a mark on their arms with their names on them, Gu Shenwei never thought that this was also a gang, and he was actually one of them.

He didn't train in the Carving Academy, which did make him miss a lot of things.

"There are other gangs, all of whom are dissatisfied with the Snow Mountain Gang, and they are all willing to join forces with us, and everyone will deal with that group of mutes together. ”

The ten young apprentices looked at Huan Nu with anticipation, he was the strongest martial artist in the Arm Slave Gang, and he killed the enemy with one sword four times in a row, even few people in the Snow Mountain Gang could achieve such a record.

"Okay, let's fight. ”

The twelve hands with the knife were stacked on top of each other in turn, with Huan Nu at the bottom and Henu at the top, the only female killer apprentice in the room.

"What about the killer masters, what about the stewards of the hospital, and what is their attitude?"

"No one will interfere. The person who answered was the Dutch girl, "This is also a good way to eliminate apprentices, everything depends on us, the one who survives, the one who kills the most, not only will not be punished, but also may go out in advance and obtain the identity of the killer." ”

Gu Shenwei's heart moved, he didn't know that Dongbao still had such rules, since this was the case, what was there to hesitate about.

He's ready to go on a killing spree.
