Chapter 41: Prelude to the Trial

Because of the snow two days ago, the Misty Forest is now hazy, like a fairyland. Beiming and the twelve ghost guards were already ready, waiting for Gu Qingyan's final order in front of the forest. Seeing Gu Qingyan coming in a plain uniform today, wearing a silver mask, tied up her long hair, and was heroic.

"All ready?"

"Yes."

"Do what you plan and go into the woods."

Gu Qing didn't say much, and after a few words, everyone entered the Misty Forest one after another. Gu Qingyan and Beiming went in after the pad, Beiming released the moth that was marked, and Gu Qingyan and Beiming separated and followed these small animals in two directions.

Although they were familiar with the Misty Forest, the forest was not small, and no one could quickly find out where the four people were hiding, so it took some time to follow the moth and look around, and the two had planned to deal with the four people before the wave of people from the trial came in.

The moth flew to one place, and suddenly circled up and down in a certain place, as if looking for something, Beiming saw this, and was hiding in the dark to follow, and now he even bent down and looked around.

After a while, I saw some movement next to a ravine under him, and stepped forward quietly, the hidden person was not a vegetarian, and he felt a slight sound approaching his side, and he didn't dare to move, but he thought that the person who was trying had already come in, and he sank his breath again, waiting for Beiming to get closer and closer, and suddenly jumped up and made a move with Beiming. In this way, Beiming has become the first pair of the Misty Forest.

Besides, Gu Qingyan also followed the moth to a certain place, she was jumping between the treetops with light skills, but she was also afraid that those people would hide in the treetops and turn around and be caught off guard, so she simply fell to the ground and walked calmly on the road, using herself as bait.

There are really people who are fooled now, they don't know that the trial is the time to start, but now they are all secret guards who are going to be tested in the forest, and then they see that it is a woman, thinking that it is easy to deal with, it just so happened that Gu Qingyan saw the moth wandering around here, so she stopped, and before she could look around, there was a "whoosh" in her ear, and a dart passed towards her.

Gu Qingyan dodged quickly, and when she saw that the dart was straight into the ground, she looked back according to the angle, and the branches behind her were turbulent, and the person who had just attacked her changed places.

Gu Qingyan smiled secretly, play with her and save your energy. Quickly picked up the dart on the ground and threw it with a backhand, and let the person who had just changed the place behind him change the next place, which recalled that Qingyan saw the shadow, drew the soft whip on his waist to predict the direction of the shadow, and threw it over, forcing out the person and falling to the ground, and both of them fought on the ground.

In one move, Gu Qingyan slowly shrank into the distance, and the soft whip bundled the man's body, restraining the man's movements, and with a pull of the whip, he grabbed the man's throat with one hand, and without hesitation, the man lost his breath. Gu Qingyan pinched the man's mouth open, and with the silver needle hidden in the bracer, he picked out the poison from his mouth, the kind that had not been bitten yet.

"Hmph." With a cold smile, he carried the dead corpse and thought about who was nearby, and then passed.

The ghost guard saw someone coming over in the fog, and was about to defend, when he saw that the person who came was Gu Qingyan, he hurriedly appeared, and saw Gu Qingyan dragging a corpse over, and heard her say: "Find a place to pile it up first, and take it out of the forest after the trial in a while." ”

"Yes."

Although Gu Qingyan has been tasked with killing countless people, she has never been concerned with killing, regardless of how to deal with it, so whenever she has to deal with the corpse, Gu Qingyan can only say to Beiming or Ghost Wei: "Deal with it." ”

She solved one of them, and she solved the other one quickly, seeing the moth in the same way, there must be a target in the surrounding places for a few miles, Gu Qingyan's actions were swift, and she didn't leave a live mouth, after all, it was not too late to stay when she couldn't kill it.

There are also two people in Beiming, so the master and servant have a tacit understanding. Just one second before the wave of people came in, the forest was cleaned up.

"Master." Beiming and Gu Qingyan bumped heads.

Gu Qingyan looked at the time and said, "You go out of the forest first." ”

After a while, there is a level in the trial, and the secret guard trial out of the forest is not over, and the four people of Dongli, Nanke, Xidu, and Beiming will have a jade pendant on their waists, and the dark guards who have come out of the forest will challenge to get the jade pendant from the waists of these four people before they can officially pass the test, so Beiming is bound to not be able to stay in the misty forest all the time.

Beiming listened to Gu Qingyan's words, and before leaving, he took out a small thing and gave it to Gu Qingyan, looking like a signal flare, and said to Gu Qingyan: "This is from them, it should be a signal flare for them to transmit news or gather." It might be useful for the master to keep it. ”

Gu Qingyan accepted the things, thinking to herself that just now she only remembered the possible usual tricks of these people in case she committed suicide by taking poison, why didn't she think of searching her body.

In this way, Beiming walked out of the Fog Forest first, and Gu Qingyan found a good place to hide, and waited there.

As for the outside of the Misty Forest, it was like this. Su Tanxue got up early in the morning in the Pure Heart Courtyard, and heard Guo'er say that Su Xin came to pass the word, let Su Xin enter the house, and heard her say: "Tanxue girl, my master went to prepare for the trial early in the morning, let the slave maid talk to you, you want to be interested in the slave maid for a while, and the slave maid will take you to the Fog Terrace to have a look." ”

Su Tanxue thought that it would be okay for her to be idle anyway, and it would be good to go and have a look, so she responded to Su Xin, and when she finished washing and changing, she was about to leave the Pure Heart Courtyard. Seeing Han Yan also coming: "Tanxue, I was just about to come and ask if you want to go to the Hidden Mist Terrace together." ”

"Uh-huh, Su Xin was about to take me." Su explores the snow trail.

After that, these people walked towards the Fog Terrace together, and after a while, the people who should have come to the Fog Terrace came one after another, and King Yu sat on the most upright seat, to put it bluntly, he can be regarded as the chief judge today.

Slightly down on the left is Xu Shaolin, but the two of them can also be horizontally viewed from the general visual point of view. The right side opposite Xu Shaolin should be Gu Qingyan, but it is still empty, and it will be empty throughout the trial.

Gu Qingyan is because of her special identity, so although she is the fourth girl of Peach Blossom Stream, her seats are actually above Zong Yue and Baili Mo.

Below the left and right are Zong Yue and Baili Mo, and then there are the guest seats, on the left of the guest seats are Han Yan and Su Tanxue, and on the right is Ye Jinliang. Dong Li, Nan Ke, and Xi Du all stood in the position of their own son's deputy.

These people all arrived one after another, but they didn't see Gu Qingyan and Beiming for a long time, King Yu looked at Xu Shaolin and the others, and saw that they all looked at Gu Qingyan's position from time to time, it seemed that this girl didn't tell everyone anything.

Baili Mo intuitively felt that something was going on today, so he looked at Xu Shaolin, and saw that he clenched his fists silently and lightly buckled the armrest twice, which was the meaning of "wait and see" in their few code words, so he didn't say anything, Zong Yue also saw it, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only wait for Gu Qingyan to appear and explain it himself.

In such a daze, there was one person who secretly felt bad in his heart, and that was Ye Jinliang, who was the only person present who knew that Shimen might have mixed into the City of No Return. Why is it possible? Because he only heard Zhao Qiyue mention one or two sentences that day, he originally thought that since he entered the Peach Blossom Stream, he came to inquire, but he didn't inquire about anything in the past few days. So there is half and not half of the score in my heart.

pinched the wind and led a group of Shimen disciples to the dark fog platform: "See King Yu, see the valley master, the second master, the third master, and the Han Shaozhuang master." "Salute one by one, but I didn't mention Ye Jinliang, obviously I didn't put this person in my eyes, Ye Jinliang was arrogant, there was a stuffy fire in his heart, and he hadn't spread it yet.

"No courtesy." Yuwang said.

Fu Feng got up, and then said: "On the order of my master, I will bring a group of disciples from Shimen to watch the trial, and the secret guard of the trial is also in place, please give an order from the valley master." ”

After speaking, the Shimen disciples who watched the battle stood on both sides, leaving the thirty-seven people of this trial to follow behind Fufeng, the order to start the trial in the past was issued by Gu Qingyan, and now Gu Qingyan is not there, and he explained that Fufeng This order was issued by Xu Shaolin, so Fufeng said.

In Shimen, except for the old ghosts who raise animals, they are only called Gu Qingyan masters, not the fourth girl, and they all use normal names for Xu Shaolin. In front of Gu Qingyan, he called the master, but when Gu Qingyan was mentioned to the outside world, almost everyone added the word "my family" in front of the master, connecting it into "my master".

At first, Xu Shaolin and they thought it was inappropriate, but then they got used to it, so they acquiesced, but in Hanyan's ears, how strange it was, a group of big men had to bring Gu Qingyan into the words "my house", he always felt awkward.

Xu Shaolin took over in front of everyone, since Gu Qingyan had ordered him like this, he responded to this matter, flicked his sleeves, and said, "The trial begins!" ”

The dark guards who led the trial with Fufeng below bowed, got up, and entered the Misty Forest one after another.

When everyone entered the forest, Dongli also took over the work of lighting incense in Beiming and lit four incense sticks. The people outside couldn't see the situation in the forest, so they could only chat during this period to relieve their boredom, not long after the beginning, Beiming appeared in the Fog Terrace, he wanted to be quiet, but there was no way, at this time, he couldn't do it, so he had to bow to the people above.

Xu Shaolin was not in a hurry to ask what the situation was, he was saving, thinking that Gu Qingyan must not be a good thing, he had been like no one for a few days before his death, and he didn't notice that something was wrong. In the past two days, Gu Qingyan seems to have lit his fire, and if Gu Qingyan appears for a while, it is really not a good thing, then it is really a punishment.

In the misty forest, Gu Qingyan didn't have the heart to care about what would happen when he went out for a while, listening to the sound in the forest, and the sound of insects and birds gradually became the background sound, Gu Qingyan knew that the real action had just begun.

Those trial guards entered the Misty Forest, either acting alone or scattered to all corners of the forest in groups of threes and twos, and their task today was very simple, to go out alive and sound.

They know that the trial is the most cruel thing in Shimen, no matter how good they are usually in Shimen and everyone, and the team leader, from the moment they enter the Misty Forest, they are cold-blooded secret guards, and anyone who appears to hinder them is an opponent, and if they don't come up with the real facts, it will be death and injury, but if they are one of them, it is impossible to get out of the forest and become a secret guard who can enter the palace.

So Gu Qingyan often said to them: "There is no emotion in the misty forest. "On the real battlefield, either you die or I die, how can there be too much soft-heartedness."
