Chapter 143: Killing the Master
Tie Hanfeng had a good dream, in the dream he lived in a big house in Beicheng, surrounded by many stunning beauties, a kid called him "Dad", looking a bit like his apprentice Huan Nu.
When he opened his eyes, he was still immersed in a good dream, and he didn't recognize where he lived for a while.
He didn't really recognize the house he was living in.
Tie Hanfeng rubbed his eyelids and opened his eyes wide, yes, this is the stone house of Dongbao, and there is still his own recliner under him, but everything is too clean.
The flasks, glasses, paper balls, broken knives, chairs lying down, and other miscellaneous items were all gone, and the ground was as clean as if it had been swept away by a hurricane.
The bedding on the bed is neat, and the cabinet is shiny.
Tie Hanfeng vaguely remembered that in his sleep, he seemed to see a servant cleaning the Beicheng mansion, but in reality, who would do this work? He only had one apprentice, although he had been a slave, but except for fighting and killing, he had never seen him sweep the floor and wipe the tables and chairs.
He stood up and walked out the door.
The courtyard had been thoroughly swept, leaving not a single piece of paper, and weapons stood by the wall, with several sheathed knives lying across it.
The courtyard suddenly seemed several times larger, Tie Hanfeng felt uncomfortable, first pinched his arm to make sure that it was not a dream, and then looked at the apprentice standing in the middle of the courtyard, "What's going on with this TMD? You don't have to be so quick to drive me away, right?"
"I'm going to duel with you. The boy's tone was cold, with a ridiculous sword pinned to his belt and a black cloth covering his face in one hand.
"Ha, you've drunk too much, are you crazy, or don't you want to live?"
Tie Hanfeng thought that the apprentice was joking, but the killer instinct quickly told him that the boy was serious.
Gu Shenwei wanted to duel with his master, he had the opportunity to do it while Tie Han was asleep, which was more in line with the rules of the killer, although Tie Hanfeng also had the ability to defend himself in his dreams, it was much worse than when he was awake, and Gu Shenwei was no longer the apprentice he was a few months ago.
This is a ritual, but also a symbol, he wants to kill the master face to face, and repay the grudge once, this is also a test of the swordsmanship of the "Book of the Dead", if he does not have the ability to kill Tie Hanfeng, he will not have the ability to avenge the destruction of the door, it is better to die under the master's knife.
"I'm not called Yang Huan, I'm not called Huan Nu, my surname is Gu, my name is Gu Shenwei, if you remember, the woman who was raped is my sister. ”
Tie Hanfeng's face twitched a few times, he wanted to frown and laugh, "Gu Shenwei, you are dead, I have seen human heads with my own eyes." ”
"That's fake, the head that the Eighth Young Master got back twice was wrong, he deceived King Dubu, and he also deceived you. ”
The fog surrounding the facts finally dissipated, Tie Hanfeng saw the truth clearly, and his heart immediately hardened, "Hey, boy, you're quite bold, but you're too stupid, you gave up the best opportunity to assassinate, and you want to duel with me like those stupid swordsmen." ”
Gu Shen unfolded the black cloth for his hands, did not put it on his head, but blindfolded his eyes with it, and tied a knot at the back of his head, "There are always exceptions to everything. "Draw your sword and throw it on the ground.
Tie Hanfeng limped back to the house, took out the narrow knife from under the recliner, returned to the courtyard, and prepared to kill his apprentice with a knife.
He didn't plan to disclose the identity of his apprentice, in that case, it would not only bring trouble to the Eighth Young Master Shangguan Fu, but also make him involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong of the Shangguan family.
It's a hundred times to kill the apprentice.
He held the knife and looked at the young man ten paces away, holding the sword and blindfolding, the apprentice must have been carried away by hatred, so he would engage in such a bluff trick, what is the use? The killer is like a craftsman, he has skills, rules, and it is good to be careful and careful, and the showmanship is all deception.
But he couldn't go with the knife.
There was no trace of murder in the young man's body.
Murderous energy is not static, it produces subtle changes in strength and weakness with a person's breathing, internal breath, and will, and experts are good at feeling this change, finding out the enemy's momentary loopholes, this kind of kung fu cannot be explained or taught, and can only be comprehended by oneself.
But there was no trace of murderous aura on the young man's body, and Tie Hanfeng couldn't find a loophole.
Some masters will hide their murderous aura, and they will not show it until a moment before they make a move, but will their apprentice be a master? Tie Hanfeng was very suspicious, and slowly his doubts turned into conviction, in just a few days, something on the young man's body had changed dramatically, and he should have seen it a long time ago, but that harvest and robbery blindfolded his eyes.
Gu Shenwei's eyes were dark, just like being in an underground secret room in the desert.
This was the first time he wanted to kill with a sword, and he understood a truth from the mysterious text of the "Book of the Dead": killing cannot be rehearsed, and the swordsmanship of killing cannot be practiced. He had to put aside all doubts and completely believe in this sword technique.
Swordsmanship is not only martial arts, but also a kind of faith, and if you don't believe it, you can't understand it.
He was more convinced than ever that he was right in his disagreement with the Lotus Maiden, and that only by "his own death" could he entrust everything to the sword in his hand, and let it lead the way in search of the "breath of life".
"Qi" is fluid, like a cloud that gathers and scatters and swirls, which cannot be seen by the eye, but can only be understood by the mind, but in the end it will form a picture of rapid change.
Gu Shenwei "saw" it.
He saw a cloud of qi rushing towards him, and he also saw the weakest part of that qi, and the sword in his hand automatically stabbed over and took it back, everything was so natural, it was all so simple.
Gu Shenwei tore off the blindfolded black cloth, and saw Tie Hanfeng's narrow knife resting on his neck, less than half an inch into his skin.
Tie Hanfeng's eyes widened, unable to believe what had happened to him, one of his greatest wishes was not to die under the sword, but he ended up dying under the sword.
He let go of the knife in his hand, and turned to walk into the room, his steps heavy, and his limping posture became more and more ridiculous.
The narrow knife fell from his neck, and Gu Shenwei wiped the blood with a black cloth, but his swordsmanship was still not perfect, and he failed to kill the enemy with one sword.
Gu Shenwei put away his sword, picked up the narrow knife on the ground, walked into the house, and saw the master lying on the chair, his mouth open weakly, his eyes dim, staring at the roof, "TMD, it's in vain." ”
These were Tie Hanfeng's last words.
Gu Shenwei knelt in front of the chair on one leg, looking carefully at the face that had turned from red to white, Tie Hanfeng seemed to be turning into another person, someone he didn't know, someone he didn't pity, maybe the prostitute named Zi Linglong would remember.
Tie Hanfeng's fatal wound was in the neck, almost bloodless, and it was difficult for anyone except the attacker himself to find unless he looked closely.
Gu Shenwei put the narrow knife against the master's neck, and cut it down along the sword wound, and no one would ever know that Tie Hanfeng died under the sword.
The red blood soaked the chaise longue and dripped to the ground, Gu Shenwei untied the master's red belt, and walked out of the room with his head in one hand and the other in his hand.
The belt was nailed to the courtyard door with a dagger, indicating that an apprentice had already left the school, and with three days to go before the twins' birthday, Huan Nu was the first of all the Jiachen apprentices to become an official killer.
Huan's behavior of killing the teacher is incomprehensible to everyone.
The steward of the Fire Refining Courtyard was speechless in surprise when he saw the head brought by the young man, and he was stunned for a long time before he took the new killer to the Baiyi Courtyard to re-register according to the rules, and the young man received a new red belt and a "Jue" waist card, and from now on he can no longer be called "Huan Nu", but "Yang Huan", but the brand on his arm is impossible to remove.
The most puzzling thing is the brown belt killers, Yang Huan is sure that he will become a killer in three days, why bother to kill the master in advance? Compared with other people's masters, Tie Hanfeng is a good person, and killing him will not only get no benefit, but also lose a backer.
Jinpeng Castle has killed teachers almost every year, but it has never been like Yang Huan, who seems to have no purpose.
Yang Huan didn't speak, people had to find a purpose for him, and in the evening of the same day, new rumors spread, the iron cripple had just made a windfall, and the apprentice coveted it, but once he became an official killer, the killer became a killer infighting, and it was strictly forbidden, so Yang Huan's behavior had a reasonable explanation.
Tie Hanfeng's death did not cause more repercussions, in order to live in Beicheng in peace, he had almost cut off all "relationships" by himself, and he did not owe each other, so no one was willing to avenge him.
Gu Shenwei only explained his behavior to the lotus girl, "In order to practice the sword, the stronger the enemy, the more difficult it is to attack, and the better the effect of sword training." ”
The lotus girl noticed a strange change in her partner's body, "Your swordsmanship is getting stronger and stronger, will you kill me one day?" I'm not strong enough, maybe ...... It's 'hard to get started' enough. ”
Gu Shenwei can't reveal the most important secrets in his heart, but he can tell the lotus girl some realizations, "Don't you understand? ”
This is the true meaning of the "Book of the Dead", and it is also the reason why the disciples of the Great Wilderness Gate have not heard of this scripture, and Jinpeng Fort only understands the first few sentences.
Only those who have a deep blood feud and don't care about their life and death will.
What's more, Gu Shenwei's Eight Desolation Finger Force in his body did not disappear at all, he used the Harmony Strength Rapid Method to fuse the internal force, and thought that all hidden dangers would be eradicated at that time, but he soon found that the heat in the Xuanji Acupoint and Baihui Acupoint was only temporarily suppressed, and it returned to its original state after a few days.
The people who planted the finger power for him are all dead, and no one in this world can remove the finger power of the Eight Desolations, and he can't expect the remaining disciples of the Great Desolation Sect to teach him his unique internal skills.
The lotus girl was a little surprised, but she immediately understood, and a smile appeared on her face, this was the first time Gu Shenwei had seen her smile, and she was as innocent as a child, "It's better than being killed by others." ”
Gu Shenwei told the Lotus Girl all the true meaning of the "Book of the Dead" that he had comprehended, and because of the differences in their opinions at the beginning, the Lotus Girl couldn't accept it all, but it did relieve many doubts in her heart.
What she needs now is a perfect killing, she has to restore her killing intent through killing, and experience the subtleties of the swordsmanship of the Book of the Dead.
This opportunity will come sooner than both men expected.
