Chapter 67: The Apprentice

Everyone has a heart disease, and when others mention it casually, it often makes them suspicious, and they can imagine an entire tree by grabbing a leaf.

This is the case with the daughter of the big-headed God.

Gu Shenwei only answered her threat in one sentence, and she got rid of the worries of life, at least temporarily.

"Miss's secret, only in front of the big god, the little slave dares to tell it. ”

Gu Shenwei just mentioned the three words "big-headed god", which caused a violent storm, and the young lady behind the screen was speechless for a while, and suddenly rushed out, grabbed every little thing around her, and threw it at Huan Nu like crazy, spewing out a series of curses from her mouth.

Miss's accuracy is not very good, Gu Shenwei knelt on the ground, easily dodged most of the attacks, occasionally a few things hit his body, and there was no lethality, in fact, his mind was more focused on Miss's language, hoping to hear clues from it.

This is the first time the two have "met", Gu Shenwei only saw a violent woman wearing a black veil, even in extreme anger, she did not forget to protect her face that only her husband admired.

In the midst of the most vicious curses, Huan Nu was driven out, and the Lotus Girl was not summoned, so the two concluded that the young lady would not attack them again for some time.

After the tension of yesterday's whole day, Gu Shenwei felt that today's episode was more like a comedy, if he gave Miss an idea, he would create an opportunity for Huan Nu to see Miss's true face, and then use this as an excuse to kill, although Luo Ningcha's rule of not showing up was not understood, but Jinpeng Castle still respected her habits.

As for the Dutch girl, it is enough to smear her to talk about the appearance of the young lady to outsiders, and the witnesses are always easy to find.

Gu Shenwei just thought about it, he wouldn't give advice to the young lady, that woman was only in the face of her husband's hidden resentment, and only showed a little wisdom and wisdom, and the rest of the time, she was a stupid and vicious woman, and the only reason why she could survive in the Killer Castle was that she was supported by the prestige of the big-headed god behind her.

In fact, what made Gu Shen even more troubled was the lotus girl, she seemed to think that Huan Nu had already found out the secret from the young lady, but she was unwilling to tell it and share it, so her attitude suddenly became cold again.

They probably will never be close friends, not even ordinary friends, and some people are wary of each other from the first time they meet, and the people who are guarded against don't know why.

The two were locked up for three days, and Gu Shenwei finally couldn't help it, so he fell asleep on the kang for a few sleeps, but the lotus girl didn't even close her eyes, except that her face became more and more pale, and she could hardly see a little sleepiness.

She only secretly used the bedpan when Huan Nu was snoring like thunder, so Gu Shenwei often made her snoring louder.

When Shangguan Nu finally figured out what to do with these two minions, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw them, he had never thought of locking the young boy and girl together.

"Follow me. ”

Shangguan ordered angrily, as he usually did without the slightest emotion.

The two tired minions obediently followed their master out of the main courtyard and traveled all the way to an independent courtyard in the West Fort.

There were already six or seven black-clothed people in the courtyard, killers with red belts, and handymen with yellow belts, and when they saw the eight young masters, everyone bowed and saluted.

At the west end of the courtyard stood a pillar, and a large bearded man in ragged clothes was bound by chains, his eyes wide open, and his tense muscles seemed to be unable to restrain even the chains, and not far from him, a huge long sword was stuck in the ground.

Shangguan angrily ordered two Jinpeng Fort narrow knives to be struck, and said to the two bewildered minions, "Kill him." ”

Without hesitation, the lotus girl snatched a narrow knife, and Gu Shenwei took the other.

A black-clad killer ran over to untie the bearded man, and quickly fell back into place.

The first thing the bearded man did after getting rid of the chains was to grab the giant sword on the ground with both hands, roar, and rush towards the dozen enemies opposite, his steps were vain, and he was obviously lame.

This was the first time that Gu Shenwei had officially held the Jinpeng Fort Narrow Knife, and when he felt its weight that was not commensurate with his slender figure, his murderous intent suddenly flourished.

The boy and the girl started at the same time, and at the same time met the bearded man, but the moves were completely different, Huan Nu held a knife and swooped directly at the enemy's chest and abdomen, and the lotus girl jumped lightly, swept past the enemy, and stabbed the back of the heart with a backhand, although there was an extra distance, but hit the target at the same time as Huan Nu.

The bearded man's strength seemed to be consumed in the roar, and in the face of two teenagers who were much younger than himself, he had no power to parry, and fell to his knees, still holding the giant sword in both hands.

Another Great Snow Mountain swordsman, Gu Shenwei didn't even care about his name this time, compared to the Jinpeng Castle killers, they were like clumsy bears, forced to have no way to escape by bees carrying tail spines.

The two would-be killers retreated with a single blow, and the resolute expression on their faces seemed to indicate that they had been killed for a long time and were accustomed to death and blood.

This is a test, but the test is not the level of martial arts, but whether you have the most basic quality of a killer - cold-blooded.

There are many people who are strong in martial arts and can easily defeat ten with one but always hesitate to strike at the end, and there are also those who go to the other extreme, reaching the point of obsession with the gushing blood, killing people just for fun, completely ignoring the possible consequences.

The black-clothed killers nodded together, very satisfied with the two teenagers, only Shangguan Nu still didn't say anything.

However, the confinement of Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl was lifted, and in the afternoon of the same day, they were sent to the Dongbao Carving Wood Courtyard, where the Lotus Girl resumed her identity as a killer apprentice, but Gu Shenwei went around in a big circle, and it took nearly a year to finally realize her dream.

Shangguan angrily let go of these two informant slaves for a reason, "Someone told me that you are good killer seedlings. Therefore, I spare you from death. Go be a killer and come out of the East Fort alive to meet me. ”

Who is speaking for these two teenagers, the eighth young master did not make it clear, Gu Shenwei excluded the young lady first, it would be good if that woman didn't kill people, and she would never do good things again.

This time, Shangguan Nu no longer let the two of them go back to the main courtyard every night, but let them stay in Dongbao like the other killer apprentices.

On the occasion of parting, Gu Shenwei boldly expressed his desire to resign to Shangguan Ru, the "Ten Princes", who had just heard that Shangguan Ru had officially entered the Six Killings Hall and was recognized as the tenth son of King Dubu.

Shangguan Nu didn't agree, "No need." That was his only answer.

When accompanying Shangguan Ru to play, Gu Shenwei has entered Dongbao countless times, but this time it is like the first time to come to this mysterious place, his heart is mixed with excitement and nervousness, not at all like the emotions that a killer should have, he wants to become the top killer here, but also to get a glimpse of the core secret of Jinpeng Castle, the blue-faced assassin has become his most important opponent, only stronger than these assassins who are good at cutting off their heads behind their backs, can they talk about assassinating the enemies of Shangguan's family.

The lotus girl went back to the carved wood courtyard directly, but Huan Nu had to register again, or the named gentleman, who was not very happy to write down his information, only by becoming a killer could he restore the name "Yang Huan", and he was still called "Huan Nu" during his apprenticeship.

On the left side of his name, the six words "practicing the inner skills of the outer door" were circled, and Gu Shenwei couldn't imagine that these words would bring him a lot of trouble, and even almost ruined his dream of being a killer again.

The timing of Gu Shenwei's entry into the East Fort is very unfortunate, the ten months of training in the Carved Wood Academy are about to end, and all the apprentices will enter the higher level of the Fire Refining Academy, where the teenagers will worship the real killer as their teacher, eat and live with him, learn more advanced skills, and the most important thing is to participate in the combat test once a month, real swords, it is rumored that more than half of the more than 600 apprentices will die at this stage.

Most people are just excited about it.

Gu Shenwei soon discovered that most of the young apprentices were not slaves in the castle, people like him and the lotus girl were rare cases, and most of the others spoke the broken Central Plains dialect, from different countries in the Western Regions, and voluntarily embarked on the path of killers, preferring to die rather than retreat.

Hu Shining, a teacher of the Carved Wood Academy, had a relationship with Huan Nu and seemed to have a good impression, so he talked to Huan Nu on the second day after he entered the Academy, suggesting that he stay in the Carved Wood Courtyard and receive ten months of initial training with the next group of apprentices, "You have some fatal flaws, and it is more effective and safer to correct them here than in the Fire Refining Academy." ”

Gu Shenwei coldly declined Hu Shining's kindness, he didn't have ten months to learn killer skills step by step, and he didn't feel that he had a "fatal flaw", his harmony strength had reached the third layer of yin and yang, and his internal strength was much higher than that of all the teenagers in the Carved Wood Academy, which was enough to make up for the lack of skills.

Hu Shining left disappointed, Gu Shenwei will regret his attitude later, he has been in Jinpeng Fort for too long, and he is instinctively wary of everyone, so that he regards the sudden "kindness" as a long-planned "malice".

Hu Shining was right, compared with a strictly trained killer apprentice, Huan Nu's martial arts were very serious flaws even if they were not fatal, especially his "outer door and internal strength", which was an advantage in Huan Nu's eyes, but in the eyes of the killer masters in the Fire Refining Academy, it was an irreparable mistake.

A few days later, the apprentices came to the Fire Refining Courtyard in the south of Dongbao, which was much smaller than the Carved Wood Courtyard, where nearly a hundred killer masters were already waiting, and after selecting the apprentices, they would take the newly recruited disciples back to their place of residence, and then come to the Fire Refining Academy once a month to receive a life and death test.

Gu Shenwei quickly understood that what the teacher Hu Shining said was true, and the killer masters already had a general understanding of the more than 600 teenagers, so the entire apprentice selection process was very fast, and it was over in one morning.

In the end, there were more than 30 apprentices left who had no choice for various reasons, and Gu Shenwei was one of them.

Fate played a joke on him, and then an even bigger joke, as a black-clad and yellow-belted steward of the Flame Refining Academy was in charge of the killer apprentices who were on the verge of elimination.

"Don't worry, there are still a few killer masters who didn't come today, and they will come to choose you away in a few days. ”

He first comforted him, and then said, "Anyway, it's nothing, you just stay here and work, carry the corpse or something." ”

Gu Shenwei found that the circle he was going around was too big, and he actually returned to the situation when he first entered the fort.
