The secret on the hilt of the knife was not worth the risk at all, and Gu Shen was disappointed.

After removing the silk thread, there were only a few inconspicuous concave points on the handle, seven on one side and three on the other, if they represented anything, Gu Shenwei couldn't understand it at all.

He carefully retied the silk thread and waited quietly for the gong to sound for the second watch, Lao Zhang didn't seem to plan to get any closer to him, and he didn't come back after dark.

Xue Niang probably won't survive tonight, and Gu Shenwei's life is all based on the whim of Shangguan Fu, he even wants to seek Shangguan Ru's help, she is about to become the tenth prince, and has more power to protect others, but this idea was quickly dispelled, his behavior in Shangguan Ru's eyes is tantamount to a kind of use and betrayal, plus Shangguan Yu's fanning the flames, she will kill him with a knife.

The second watch day has arrived, and Gu Shenwei walked out of the stone house.

From the moment he was destroyed, he walked on a winding, narrow, trap-riddled path, and every day he survived was a miracle, and today is no exception.

He hadn't remembered the divine will that had sustained him for the first few days for a long time, and now he had summoned it again.

The gatekeeper of the main courtyard of the eighth young lord was surprised to see Huan Nu, it was so late, there were few people in the stone castle, Gu Shenwei claimed that Xue Niang had summoned him, and that person reluctantly let him enter the courtyard.

Xue Niang seemed to guess that Huan Nu was coming, and the lamp was lit in the room, and before he could speak, she ordered him to come in.

Gu Shenwei offered a wooden knife, "It's really lucky, as soon as the little slave returned to the inner house, the tenth prince was going to go to the Six Killings Hall to stroll, and there was indeed a wooden knife on the other wall, it was this one, the little slave carefully observed, and there was no other wooden knife in the hall." The little slave was afraid that Xue Niang would be in a hurry, so he sent it overnight. ”

Xue Niang just nodded, looked intently at the wooden knife in her hand, and said after a while, "Turn around." ”

Gu Shenwei turned around, knowing that Xue Niang wanted to open the silk thread to check the handle of the knife, she had never seen the wooden knife of the Six Killing Palace, so she would not find the abnormality of the silk thread.

Smack, smack.

Gu Shenwei's heart jumped, and Xue Niang broke the wooden knife again, could it be that this knife is not right? Could it be that Shangguan Nu played tricks? Countless questions flashed in his heart for a moment, but he heard Xue Niang say, "Go, I'll take you to a place." ”

Gu Shenwei turned around and saw that the wooden knife had turned into a piece of shards, and Xue Niang obviously didn't want others to know the secret on the handle of the knife.

However, Shangguan Fu, or why didn't the watchmen he sent take action? Xue Niang's conspiracy has been confirmed, what are you waiting for? Isn't the secret in the wooden knife not important to Jinpeng Castle at all?

"Where are you going?" Gu Shenwei still wanted to keep his composure, but his voice unconsciously became jerky.

"I promised to pass on your peerless martial arts, but it's not suitable here. ”

"Yes, thank you Xue Niang. ”

Under normal circumstances, Huan Nu should have said a few more words of gratitude, but he can't pretend to be a slave calmly now, Xue Niang promised to pass on his peerless martial arts, but also promised to return it in time after getting the wooden knife, but now he broke it into pieces, which is not a good sign.

Xue Niang took the lead in going out, Gu Shenwei had to follow behind, what plan Shangguan Nu had, he didn't reveal a word, maybe the minions were used as bait like the wooden knife.

Gu Shenwei has never been so hesitant to make gains and losses like now, he obediently followed Xue Niang, and secretly decided that if he could survive and continue to take revenge, he would never be a pawn of the plan again, and he must be the controller.

The gatekeeper's face was not very good, and Xue Niang said lightly, "Send him back", and then stepped out of the hospital, and the man did not dare to stop him.

It was already very late at night, and the alley was empty, Xue Niang turned the alley and immediately stuck to the wall to listen, she also knew the law of the guards of Jinpeng Castle.

She took Huan Nu farther and farther, but the destination was not the inner house in the north, but all the way to the southeast, and gradually the surrounding stone walls began to become decadent and desolate, although this place was also part of the East Fort, but it was uninhabited and had no use, so it was abandoned.

Gu Shenwei remembered that he had been here when he and Shangguan Ru were playing the game of "assassination", and at that time he was still wondering how the fort could be allowed to be deserted.

"It's haunted. Shangguan Yushi's explanation for this was very simple, but he was so frightened that Shangguan Ru never dared to come again.

He tried to scream several times, hoping to attract the night watchman to catch Snow Maiden, but in the end he held back, and when he went deeper into the ruins, he realized that it was useless to shout at this time.

The two walked into an alley, most of the courtyard walls on both sides had collapsed, the walls were full of wild grass one person high, the stone slabs of the paving road were scattered, and under the dim moonlight, the whimpering wind seemed to be like a group of ghosts howling.

Xue Niang's ear power is much stronger than Shangguan Ru, if she doesn't hear a suspicious voice, it means that no one is really following, Gu Shenwei is getting more and more uneasy, he can't expect Shangguan Nu to care about the life and death of a minion.

Xue Niang suddenly stopped, and Gu Shenwei almost hit her.

She pointed at the slave, "Wait here." ”

Gu Shenwei's body was weak, and he felt that his strength was completely gone, and he slowly sat on the ground, knowing that he had been hit by the acupoint.

Xue Niang continued to go deep into the alley, looking at the dilapidated surroundings with caution.

The alley was narrow and long, from west to east to the place where Gu Shenwei was sitting, but it was narrowed a few feet, so that only two people could walk side by side, and from here, there were no stone walls on both sides of the road, but two rows of stone figures, which looked like the stone carvings standing in front of the mausoleum.

The night was dark, and Gu Shenwei couldn't see anything more, but he suddenly understood the secret of the wooden knife.

The alley is clearly in the shape of a wooden knife, and the narrow path that lines the stone figures is the handle of the knife.

In retrospect, the pits on the handle of the wooden knife were all biased to the back of the knife, which was the location of the south side of the alley, given that Xue Niang had walked farther, Gu Shenwei guessed that she was looking for the seventh stone man in the south of the road, and as for the three concave points on the other side, the stone man must have corresponding markings.

Gu Shenwei figured out the secret of the wooden knife, but he didn't understand why Shangguan Nu didn't move, could it be that he didn't care about it?

Xue Niang appeared silently from the darkness, her face expressionless, and there was nothing more in her hand.

Gu Shenwei tried to stand up, but Xue Niang grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up easily, this thin woman had strength that was extremely disproportionate to her size.

"Reincarnate well, I will teach you peerless martial arts. ”

Xue Niang got what she wanted, and there was no need to stay alive.

Gu Shen struggled for his life, and pulled Xue Niang's arm with both hands, which was as hard as dead wood, not at all like a human limb.

"I ...... Something to say......"

Gu Shenwei held back three words in a dumb voice, Xue Niang hesitated for a moment, relaxed her strength slightly, and let a breath of life-saving air enter Huan Nu's chest.

"The wooden knife is a fake. Gu Shenwei said.

Xue Niang showed a sarcastic smile, looking like a ghost in the moonlight, "I always say that you are very smart, but unfortunately you are often too smart. I know you've checked the wooden knives, and the stone men here all have mechanisms, and if you choose the wrong one, you'll be stimulated, do you think I'm in trouble now?"

Xue Niang poked Huan Nu's Xuanji acupoint with her other hand, inputting an unprecedentedly powerful finger force, most of this young man's martial arts were taught by her, and she wanted to eradicate it now.

The dantian exploded in an instant, and his body seemed to be broken into tens of thousands of pieces, Gu Shenwei wondered how he could still think, feel, and even say a sentence completely, "This is a trap." ”

The corners of Xue Niang's mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but her face immediately changed greatly, and she threw Huan Nu aside, and turned around in the same place.

"Who is it?"

Gu Shen didn't hear why, Xue Niang didn't need to attack him again, that scorching finger force was enough to kill him, he had inadvertently used the words in the nameless sword book to turn the finger power into his own internal force, and at this time he wanted to repeat the old trick, but this time the finger power was too strong, the more he recalled the esoteric words in the sword spectrum, the more he felt that his brain was hot into a pot of porridge, not to mention reciting, and he couldn't even tell whether he was dead or alive.

He thought that he had only regained his life after countless tribulations, but in fact, it was only a short time later, and his body was burning hot, but his brain was clear, and he happened to see the eighth young master Shangguan angrily holding the narrow knife, standing ten steps away from Xue Niang.

"Kang Wenmei, the Great Wilderness Gate's 'Penetrating Bones' Divine Grasp, was actually a servant in my Shangguan Nu's house, and she was flattered by it, and her kung fu of turning her claws into fingers is really admirable. ”

Shangguan Nu actually knew the details of Xue Niang, Gu Shenwei was surprised, he never knew Xue Niang's true identity, and the sect in the Western Regions was too unfamiliar to him, and he had never heard of the "Great Wilderness Gate".

"Hehe, Eighth Young Master, you are a man who doesn't care about his family, and he knows too little about the things in the house. ”

Shangguan was unmoved, and took a step slowly, "Too little, but not too late." ”

Xue Niang took out a scroll from her arms and sighed, "After so much effort, what I got is still a fake." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Niang threw the scroll to Shangguan Nu, and she jumped up, and a kick flew out from under her skirt, but the target of the attack was not the eighth young master, but the Huan slave who was half paralyzed on the ground, she knew that she was betrayed, so she wanted to kill him to vent her anger.

That kick came suddenly, and Gu Shenwei couldn't dodge it even if he was fully guarded, so he could only use a force of harmony and hard contact with his chest.

With a bang, Xue Niang kicked Huan Nu in the chest, and then flew high with the help of force, crossing a section of the broken wall, preparing to escape.

On the other side, the scroll opened in the air and pounced on Shangguan Nu, Shangguan Nu drew his knife with his left hand, and the scroll was split into two, he looked up at the woman flying in the air under the moonlight, but did not pursue.

Xue Niang's kick seemed to kick Gu Shenwei's bones into pieces, he spit out a mouthful of sweet blood, but he didn't die, and even the burning sensation in his body was greatly relieved, he didn't understand the reason at all, and he also raised his head and looked at Xue Niang like a big bird.

Suddenly, he remembered the two dead Roc birds, the female bird was very similar to the Snow Maiden at this moment when she took off into the air.

Then, a more similar scene emerges: a ghostly human head is revealed behind Snow Maiden's shoulder, and she is unaware of it.

It wasn't a goblin, it was a masked face, and like the man in black who slew the female bird, he appeared directly in the void and delivered a fatal blow from behind the target.

It seems that the nightmare has reappeared, but the female bird has been replaced by a woman, and since then, Gu Shenwei has mixed the two scenes of killing birds and killing people, and sometimes appears in dreams, and every time he wakes up, he must be in a cold sweat.

Snow Maiden's head left her body, like a fruit falling from a tree, and the blood seemed to spurt out at once, while the corpse seemed to freeze in the air, not moving at all, and the masked head seemed to grow on Xue Maiden's neck.

Gu Shenwei looked at this strange and incomprehensible picture, he could no longer hold back the fear in his heart and the twitching of his stomach, and lowered his head and vomited.

This was the first time he had seen the "Blue-Faced" Assassins, and these people were no longer legends to him.
