Chapter 40: Assassination

"Let's go and see!

The three-day temple fair has come to an end, and although there are fewer people shopping on the streets, it is still very lively.

Everyone gathered in a heap of circles, sitting around the stone platform and stone table, on both sides of the road and the street, waiting for the news of the release of the Dharma propagation ceremony.

Although some news has been spread, most of the people can't believe the word-of-mouth information?

This Dharma propagation ceremony turned out to be a genius who has not been born for a thousand years!

A genius disciple from the Longmen Martial Mansion actually insisted on the end of the Dharma propagation ceremony, which has simply been passed on to the gods, not seeing is believing, I really can't believe it.

In a few quarters of an hour, it will be time for the Hongfa Temple to release the list, and I heard that this time there are fourteen young heroes in the summer capital who have entered the second stage!

Fourteen, four ten years ago, and only five twenty years ago!

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and the excited spittle stars were flying out.

"Do you know? This Longgu is a pure body cultivator, and he is a genius disciple specially selected by the Longmen Martial Mansion and the Dashuai Ancient Mansion for this Dharma propagation ceremony, so he can persist until the end. ”

"My good dear, this time there are fourteen people who have entered the second stage! I have lived for more than thirty years, and from my memory, it seems that there has never been a time when so many people have entered the second stage! If these people grow up, there is hope for our Nine Summer Kingdom. ”

"That is, to tell you a little news, even after the current Xia Emperor knew the news, he was excited to applaud again and again, and he was ready to hold a special celebration for this ceremony, so that the whole country rejoiced!"

"Cut, the news spread yesterday, and I have an update here, the summer capital competition, which was supposed to be held next year, was brought forward to three months later. “

"What? Where did you get the news from?"

"You don't care where my news comes from, let me tell you, this Dharma propagation ceremony is a comparison of the talent and potential of the younger generation, but this summer capital is a big comparison, hehe...... , the comparison is the actual battle, and only then will I know who is the first person in the summer capital. “

"Alas, it's coming, it's coming, don't talk about it yet, it's going to be released. “

At this time, several warrior monks walked out with a list wrapped in silk, and everyone rushed to the bottom of the list to look up.

The warrior monks have already posted the list high in the huge bluestone bulletin box of Kobo Temple.

The melodious bell rang, and a warrior monk shouted: "Release the list!"

The warrior monk ripped off the red hijab silk, and the list appeared in front of everyone.

Gu Lin's name was enlarged and ranked at the top, and someone read it out loud:

"First place, Longmen Martial Mansion, body cultivation Longgu, completed the baptism of the Dharma propagation energy force field throughout the process, went deep into the red refining and punishment body enchantment, completed the assessment requirements, and won the reward of the 'Thousand Jin Thorn Soul Bowl' of the Dharma Treasure Building. ”

"Longmen Martial Mansion, body cultivation Longgu, didn't you say that you came from the ancient family of the Great Shuai Mansion?

"Are you stupid? Is there a difference between this Longmen Martial Mansion and the Gu Family? Isn't that the same?"

It is said that this Longgu is the first person to persist until the last moment in the thousands of years of the Dharma Propagation Ceremony, and it seems that this physical cultivation is indeed extraordinary? ”

"Indeed, the first place in this Dharma propagation ceremony has won the first place in actual combat, and this Longgu will not become the first person among the young heroes of the summer capital!"

Hearing this, a scarred face of the list pursed his mouth, and his eyes were contemptuous and muttered coldly: "Physical cultivation...... Actual combat depends on cultivation and experience, this kind of rookie I can do it with only three moves, and I can afford to see him in three moves, perhaps, I only need one move to kill him. ”

Scarface supported a seventy-year-old woman with his hand, the old woman pestle the crutches, began to cough violently, her wrinkled face was red, and she coughed for a long time before she said slowly:

"Blood stains, don't take it lightly, the thousand-year-old sect of Hongfa Temple, its potential strength is not necessarily much worse than our Blood Shadow Sect, this is the first place in the Dharma Propagation Ceremony, and it has persisted until the last moment of the Dharma Propagation Ceremony, this Dragon Gu cannot be underestimated. ”

"Yes, that's what the Ancestor said. The scarface named Bloodstain replied respectfully: "I just don't understand, to deal with a small Nine Xia Kingdom, it is necessary for the ancestor to come over in person, and besides, the Blood Shadow Gate is exhausted, is it a bit of a fuss?"

Lao Ji looked at the names of Long Gu and Gu Qi on the list, and his eyes revealed cold hatred and murderous intent, "Blood stains, I promised Emperor Wu that we must destroy the hope of this small country of Jiuxia this time." ”

Lao Ji clicked the crutches, took small steps, his body shook so badly that he seemed to be unable to stand on his feet, Lao Ji said in a slow tone: "The potential strength of this Nine Xia Kingdom must not be underestimated, there is a thousand-year-old sect of the Hongfa Temple in the summer capital, and the ancient family of the martial arts family has also been passed down for thousands of years, and the Longmen Martial Mansion is behind the back, if I don't make a move, I'm afraid I won't be able to give Emperor Wu a satisfactory explanation." ”

The scarface named Bloodstain said disapprerovantly: "Why should our Blood Shadow Sect bother with Emperor Wu? Moreover, what kind of character is the ancestor, if he really makes a move, how should Baimeng explain it here?"

Lao Ji sighed and said coldly: "There are some things that must be done, as one of the hundred leagues, I violated the oath of the hundred leagues, and the strong people of the hundred leagues will definitely come to the door, although killing a few juniors has violated the bottom line of the hundred leagues, but as long as I don't kill them personally, I can't help the hundred leagues." ”

Bloodstain smiled: "What the ancestor said is that the matter of killing those juniors will be handed over to our blood killing guards, and the ancestor can press the formation here." ”

Behind Scarface and Lao Ji there is also a sturdy middle-aged man, this man with a national character face, looks cold, he has been silently reciting the names on the list, and there is a lean mustache next to the national character face, just like a big shopkeeper of the bank.

The eight-character beard stroked his beard lightly, a pair of small eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "Elder Ge, please rest assured, I have already asked the Blood Killing Guard to prepare at the foot of the mountain, the highest cultivation of the young generation of these summer capitals is only the Yuan Seed Realm, this operation should be foolproof, but ......"

Lao Ji said: "But what?"

Bazihu looked into the distance and said softly, "We seem to have been targeted." ”

Lao Ji looked in the direction that the mustache saw, and said with some concern: "This is also expected, let the blood killing guard divide some manpower and pull out those nails that are watching, but in this way, we are a little short of manpower." ”

Bloodstain said: "Ancestor rest assured, it's just a few juniors, even if it is half of the people, I don't think there will be any accidents." ”

Several minifigures carefully looked at the list for a long time, and Lao Ji slowly asked: "Blood marks, do you remember these names?"

Scarface nodded, Lao Ji also smiled and nodded, her expression could not be seen on the loose skin, Lao Ji said softly: "There are too many of these names, I am old, and some of them can't be remembered, alas...... It's a pity, they're all juniors in their prime of life, it's a pity, and you can only blame you for being born in the wrong place!"

Lao Ji hunched his waist and ordered softly: "Spread the word, let all the blood killing guards prepare, half of them deal with those dark sentinels, and half of them assassinate these juniors." “

Lao Ji slowly straightened his waist, revealing the eyes of the superior, and said coldly: "Our Blood Shadow Sect is the No. 1 assassination sect in the Holy Martial Continent, in our door rules, failure is death, you also have to remember the blood marks, after a while, you and Elder Wu will be responsible for commanding the killing of those juniors, if there is a fish that slips through the net, you will not come back." As for Elder Hu and the others, they will follow me for a while, and the powerhouses of this summer capital will be fine. ”

"Yes. Scarface answered, took a few steps back, and blended with the lean bearded old man into the crowd of people in the summer capital......

......

When the bell rang, Gu Lin was still reminiscing about the fierce peerless sword, and it seemed that only a few dozen breaths had passed for a few hours.

When the two masters, Huiming and Huiguang, returned to the Great Dao of Ancestral Martial Arts, Gu Lin was still meditating on the sword technique.

Master Huiming folded his hands and said: "Friends, the three-day deadline for the Dharma Propagation Ceremony has arrived, and it is time for you to go home. “

"Thank you two masters for your advice, this kindness, we will remember it. Everyone bowed deeply and bid farewell to the two masters.

At this time, hearing Master Huiming's words, whether they were still participating in enlightenment and cultivation, or whether they were still reluctant, everyone all stood up respectfully and saluted and said goodbye to the two masters.

Led by several warrior monks, he walked out along the Kobo Ancient Road.

Following the ancient road, everyone came to the Dharma Propagation Dojo, and saw the giant Buddha in the sky, as well as the red spar that still released red light at the center of the giant Buddha's eyebrows, everyone tacitly did not speak, but the foundation of this thousand-year-old sect is deeper than that of the dynasty.

Walking towards the outside of the dojo, the Baizhang stone gate at the entrance of the dojo was still standing on both sides, and a strong light came in from the entrance of the dojo, which made everyone feel a little dazzling.

These three days of penance and enlightenment make everyone feel like a different world, and they have the feeling of entering the secret realm of Taoism.

Outside, it's the last day of the fair, and the two streets of the huge Kobo Square are still bustling with pedestrians, but everyone is watching the gates of the Kobo Dojo.

As everyone knows, today, these best young heroes in the summer capital will come out from there, and they are all the hope of the summer capital.

Gu Lin had been following the team, and beside him were Yun Ming and Gu Qi.

Walking out of the dojo, there were already dozens of guards and more than a dozen carriages waiting, these outstanding children of the family are all the hope of the big family, as early as three days ago, these carriages and family guards have been waiting here.

Yun Ming and Gu Qi waved goodbye and walked towards their carriage, but they saw a person coming down from the carriage, it was his sister Yun Wan, "Sister, why are you here?"

Yun Wan said: "I don't worry about you, so I'll pick you up." ”

"Yun Ming, Yun Wan, the people in the family should be in a hurry, let's go first, and we'll talk about it another day. Gu Qi waved goodbye to the Yunming brothers and sisters.

"Brother, let's go home. Taking a deep breath, Gu Qi felt like a dream at the moment, a dream that he never dared to imagine!

His brother is even better than him!

Not only won the first place in the Dharma Propagation Ceremony, but also received a reward from the Dharma Treasure Building.

And this news will definitely make the Gu family completely explode, and he must bring Gu Lin back as soon as possible.

He clearly knows that his parents must be in a hurry at this moment, and some things must also be decided by his parents.

Bidding farewell to all the young men of the summer capital one by one, Gu Qi took Gu Lin to the ancient mansion before the guard carriage, Gu Yan, who had been waiting for three days and three nights, respectfully saluted the two, "Meet the eldest young master, meet ......"

Gu Yan was suddenly a little stuck, and he heard Gu Lin say softly: "Long Gu, Young Master Long." ”

"Yes, meet Young Master Long!" Gu Yan said loudly.

At this time, the guards beside Gu Yan smiled flatteringly and saluted: "Young Master Long, my name is Ji'an, auspicious Ji, peaceful An, I am the youngest among the four of us, and my cultivation is also the lowest, but I have sharp legs and feet, so if Young Master Long has anything to do, just call me." ”

Gu Lin smiled, saw that Ji'an's still somewhat immature face, nodded, and didn't say anything.

Gu Qi shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "Don't say anything, let's go back quickly." ”

"Yes, young master. Gu Yan glanced at Gu Lin, his eyes were extremely complicated, both respectful and taboo.

Gu Qi Gu Lin sat in the carriage and "drove ......"

Gu Yan raised his horsewhip and whipped it on the horse's back, and the horse neighed, and its four hooves stepped out, galloping down the ramp down the mountain.

Hongbo Temple stands on the high mountain, there are two roads, one is the stone platform road, the other is along the mountain road winding down, although the mountain road can take the carriage, but the leaves are rugged, it has to walk dozens of miles to go to the three forks under the mountain.

Koboji Temple is located on the top of a high mountain, and on the way down the mountain, you have to pass through a winding mountain road, which is dense and horizontal, and the scenery is pleasant and comfortable.

When entering the Dharma Propagation Ceremony, you must be sincere, so you need to climb the 990-step Dharma Propagation Force Field Stone Platform to go up the mountain, but there is no restriction on going down the mountain, and the carriages of each family leave in order and gallop down the mountain road of the Hongfa Temple.

The carriage bumped and bumped all the way down, until it came out of the Hongfa Temple for more than ten miles, came to the last pavilion for a rest, and then went down to the three forks.

"Stop in front, I'm going to say a few words to Yun Ming, I'm tired from galloping all the way, let's everyone take a break." ”

"Yes, young master. The carriage slowly stopped, and one of the guards spoke: "Two young masters, you are really powerful, my God! The first and second places in the Dharma Proclamation Ceremony! But they are all in our Great Marshal's Mansion, do you know that the names of the two of you are already household names in the summer capital, and I don't know how many little ladies worship you in the entire summer capital!"

"Really, you're talking nonsense again!" Gu Qi was usually easy-going, and he often joked with these guards, and he replied with a smile: "Ji'an, are you joking again?"

"How dare you be small?" Ji An smiled: "I don't know how many little ladies will hold the soft pillow tonight, silently reciting the names of Young Master Gu and Young Master Long, so that they can sleep peaceful......ly! , I don't know what year and month there will be a little lady who will remember my name, will silently recite Ji'an, in order to enter the dream, sleep peacefully, if there is really that day, even if I die, I will be blind. ”

Gu Qi scolded in a low voice, "Ji'an, you will talk nonsense in one day......"

"Haha......"

The four guards let out a deafening laugh.

The laughter spread far away, and a flock of sparrows flew in a bamboo forest in the distance.

In the spring of March, the trees near and far are densely layered, the greenery is gloomy, the green shoots are blooming vigorously, the clear spring next to it is rattling, Gu Lin takes a breath, and suddenly feels relaxed.

Suddenly, a very dangerous feeling appeared in Gu Lin's heart, and he felt a hint of murder.

This intuition is a special feeling that can only be found in countless secret adventures, and there are dangers here.

"Be careful!" Gu Lin's eyes were cold, he looked around, and said warily: "There is a problem here. ”

At this moment, a mutation protruded.

Dozens of giant trees suddenly flew towards the galloping carriages from both sides of the mountain road.

The Gu family guards are all good hands, and at the same time as the mutation just happened, Gu Yan had already shouted: "There are assassins! protect the two young masters, the two young masters, get into the carriage quickly." ”

The four guards stood around the carriage in front and back, left and right, Gu Yan roared angrily, the golden true yuan erupted, the war knife was already out of its sheath, and between the flashes of the red mang, his body rose and fell, and he had already swung several knives.

Boom......

After a few explosions, the giant tree shattered violently, and all of them were cut off and fell by Gu Yan's war knife.

At this moment, a piercing whistling sound sounded, and a sharp arrow shot straight at Gu Yan's face door, and Gu Yan's war knife swept, rolled up the wind, and slashed towards the sharp arrow.

"Who is it?" Gu Yan glared angrily at the jungle in the distance.

Whoosh......

Two more sharp arrows were fired, Gu Yan was furious, and shouted to the guards behind: "Protect the young master, I'll go find the thief." ”

With both feet on the ground, Zhenyuan exploded, and Gu Yan had already flown in the direction where the sharp arrow was flying.

"Don't ......" Gu Lin hadn't even said a word, Gu Yan had already rushed out and rushed into the jungle, and he saw a figure running forward.

Gu Yan pounced on him, "The thief is gone!"

With a move, he had already pounced.

Whoosh ......

A few more arrows flew out of the grass on the other side, shooting at the remaining three guards. The three guards unsheathed their swords at the same time, covering the carriage, making the sword dance impenetrable, and cutting down a tributary meteor flying arrow.

And at this moment, a black figure fell from the sky, holding a five-foot broadsword, and slashed straight down.

The sword shines from top to bottom, flashing sharp and bright!

Split Huashan!

The masked assassin slashed at one of the guards, who was the one who was laughing just now.

Ji An raised his sword to parry, and when there was a sound, he felt a huge force coming, and his arm was numb from the shock, among the four guards, he was the youngest, and his cultivation was also the weakest.

And at this moment, a sharp arrow roared, and this fast arrow slashed like lightning.

Burst......

The sharp arrow instantly shot into Ji An's chest, Ji An's eyes were wide open, his eyes were blood-red with anger, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood spilled from the corners of Ji'an's mouth, and he was still whispering: "Protect it, two, young master,"

A mouthful of blood spat out wildly, his body staggered, and Ji'an had already fallen softly.

Gu Lin saw this scene, and looked at the fallen guard Ji An, who was still silently muttering: "Protect the two young masters." ”

His heart was trembling!

That's a lot of rage!

watched the life that was still smiling a minute ago pass in front of him.

The red eyes and the loyal face were intertwined with the face that was still smiling brightly.

The picture seems to stand still at this moment!

Gu Lin felt his blood boiling, and a monstrous anger rushed to the top of his head.
