Chapter Fifty-Eight: Volley

Shangguan was about to close the window when it was raining, but Gu Shenwei inadvertently glanced inside and saw how Shangguan Ru "solved" the shadow guard: the knife-wielding young man with five flowers tied up was lying on the ground, stuffed with something in his mouth, motionless.

Shangguan Yu quickly closed the window, and the gaze shot from behind the black cloth was clearly warning Huan Nu that this was none of his business, this was the "private matter" of the two girls.

The four of them were divided into two groups, Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi were in front, Shangguan Fei and Gu Shenwei were behind, more than ten steps apart, and they could barely see each other through the hazy moonlight.

The guards in the inner house are not as strict as the east and west forts, they came to the outer wall of the Six Killings Hall smoothly, the two girls have jumped up the wall and hung down a thin rope, their light skills have made great progress in the past few months, and the wall here is not as tall as the outside.

The "big thieves" have entered the realm of the Six Killing Palace, from here on, every step must be cautious, it is still the girls who are exploring the way in front, and only after making sure that there is no problem do they make gestures to ask the two people behind to follow.

Many torches were lit outside the six halls, and the firelight flickered, reflecting a distorted figure from time to time, and the light of the stars and moon suddenly became dim.

Dozens of spirit masters guarded the temple of the Shangguan family day and night, and they never imagined that there would be a few "unscrupulous descendants" who would come here to steal.

There are many stone houses built under the Danqi as the residence of the spirit masters, and it is almost impossible to pass through them without attracting attention, and the only way to enter the temple is to climb the stairs.

The four of them ran up quickly, not encountering anyone, and the place was far less heavily guarded than expected.

There is a stone tablet several feet high placed on the left side of Danqi, and there is a pillar next to it, and a string of lanterns is hung from top to bottom, and the words on the stone tablet are clearly illuminated:

The six realms of reincarnation are inexhaustible

Gu Shenwei only had time to glance at it, and his heart was shocked, it turned out that the name of the Six Killing Hall was this meaning, these eight words touched a certain idea in his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully, Shangguan Fei had already led the way to the prominent sharp corner of the east of the hall.

The sharp corner area is not large, and it is mostly occupied by a huge copper tripod, and the four of them can barely find a foothold, this time it is time to use the most powerful Huan slave.

Gu Shenwei took the elongated flying grab from Shangguan Fei's hand, and looked intently at the east wall of the Six Killings Hall opposite.

He has never been here, he doesn't know the specific location of the window, he has only heard Shangguan Fei's rough description, Xiao Gongzi is not a careful person, the size of the window, how high it is from the ground, all can't be explained, he can only rely on intuition, the relatively darker color as the target.

Shangguan Yushi kept stabbing him in the waist from behind, urging him to hurry up, he almost suspected that the girl wanted to wreak havoc and put the blame for the failure on him.

Gu Shenwei threw the flying grab with Yang energy, and attached a yin energy to the head of the flying grab at the moment of the shot, so that it could reduce the force when it landed, so as not to make too much noise.

Although his internal strength is controlled by Xue Niang and is difficult to strengthen, he is becoming more and more handy at using the two forces of yin and yang.

The thin rope was like a slippery long snake, escaping quickly from Gu Shenwei's hands, they had planned for several days, but the whole plan was still full of loopholes, if the windows of the Six Killing Hall were closed at night, and they couldn't catch anything, they could only look at the "Palace" and sigh.

Finally, there was a soft click, and the fly fell to the ground, and the window was open.

The four of them listened intently, and did not move for a long time, if this sound aroused the alarm of the spirit masters, the whole theft plan would be a fiasco.

Only the sound of the wind, and the occasional strange sound coming up from the abyss, sounded like a roc bird pecking at the eyes of a wild beast.

Maybe they still have their kind, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, and with the strength of his hand, he tightened the rope until he couldn't pull it anymore.

The other three worked together to tie the other end of the string firmly to the foot beside them.

Shangguan Yu tugged on the rope again, and after making sure that it was firm enough, he rushed to Shangguan Ru and nodded.

Shangguan Ru took a deep breath, was the first to grab the rope in the air, and used all four feet together, like an agile monkey, to climb towards the Six Killings Palace.

This is not a joke, although the cliff is the most powerful "guard" of Jinpeng Castle, but unlike humans, it does not discriminate equally, and will not show mercy to his subordinates because the challenger is the daughter of the Dubu King, as long as there is a slight carelessness, or the flying catch is not fixed well enough, Shangguan Ru will fall to pieces.

If a tragedy happens, Huan Nu must pay for it with death, and even Shangguan Yushi will probably not be able to escape death, so these two people are sincerely worried.

Shangguan Ru's small figure broke into the night, and finally melted into the deepest shadow, and disappeared.

From the side of the Six Killing Palace, there was a tremor, and the three people on the sharp horns breathed a sigh of relief, Shangguan Ru arrived safely.

When the next person should be Shangguan Yu, she grabbed the rope with one hand, pointed at Shangguan Fei with the other, shook her hand, and pointed to the distance, indicating that he should stay and observe the situation.

Shangguan Fei was very active during the drill, but at that time the rope was only a few feet above the ground, and now there was a bottomless cliff below, he was already frightened, so he immediately nodded and agreed to his cousin's arrangement, and felt that this arrangement was really correct.

Shangguan Yu turned to Huan Nu again and shook his hand in the same way.

Gu Shen was shocked, he couldn't stay, he couldn't enter the Six Killings Palace, and he couldn't steal the wooden knife that Xue Niang wanted, so he tried his best to encourage the twins to be "thieves", but it really became a game.

He shook his head.

Shangguan Yushi's gaze was very firm, and Gu Shenwei had to nod again, this is not a place for argument.

He understood Yu Gongzi's small abacus, what could enhance friendship better than a "crime partner"? She wanted to use only two people to steal out the palm of Moyu's hand and reduce Huan Nu to a peripheral collaborator.

Shangguan Yushi climbed along the rope, her stature was taller, but her light skills were also better, and the rope barely increased the shaking amplitude.

Gu Shenwei's hand pressed on the rope, and he only needed to use the "Harmony Strength" to shake it slightly, and Shangguan Yu would definitely fall down, which looked like an accident, but it was a big trouble.

This girl had assassinated him, and Gu Shenwei never wanted to forget it.

But the timing was not right, and his most urgent task now was to steal the wooden knife.

He let go of the rope with regret, and he didn't know when the next perfect opportunity would come.

Shangguan Fei dutifully looked at the many torches in the distance, and did not notice the small movements of the minions around him at all.

Shangguan Yushi also went in, Gu Shenwei waited for a while, and also climbed the rope, anyway, he had already offended Yu Gongzi, and the grudge between the two could never be resolved, so he didn't care about offending one more time.

After he climbed out a few feet, Shangguan Fei found that he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he was a little scared, he didn't dare to stand alone between the cliff and the giant ding, but he couldn't shout, he could only watch the disobedient minions disappear into the night.

Gu Shenwei had already climbed more than half of the way, and there was only seven or eight feet left, and the window of the black hole was close in front of him, and suddenly, as soon as the rope was loosened, the person on the rope fell sharply.

Gu Shenwei was shocked into a cold sweat, but after falling a foot, the rope stabilized again, but he didn't dare to move easily, just hanging in the air, under him was the abyss with a huge appetite that could swallow the entire world, and the rope was swayed from side to side by the mountain wind above the peak.

Let go, that's it, this thought tempted the young man in danger, but in just an instant, he threw away the only remaining escape emotion in his heart, regained his spirit, and quickly climbed the last distance.

The flying grab left its original position, and if it weren't for a small depression on the windowsill, which happened to jam an iron hook, Gu Shenwei would definitely die.

It must have been her, when Gu Shenwei immediately thought of Shangguan Yu, she must have let go of the flying grab, and she also wanted to create an "accident".

Gu Shenwei pulled back the flying grasp with all his strength, fixed it in a secure position, and then turned around to look inside the Six Killing Palace.

The Hall of the Six Killings is extremely long, with a long row of stone pillars on each side supporting the roof, and in the middle of each pillar is a small silver plate with a candle on it, illuminating the murals between the windows.

The murals are all lifelike men with knives, they are the ancestors of the Shangguan family, and there are many blank places, which are left for future generations.

In the depths of the main hall, what is enshrined is not the ancestral tablet, but a huge unsheathed single knife, which is longer than an ordinary spear, and the snow-white blade is shining with a terrifying streamer under the reflection of a row of candles.

On the floor in front of the giant knife, two masked girls were tying up an old man with gray hair, the old man had something stuffed in his mouth, obviously hit Shangguan Ru's drug, he didn't resist at all, he didn't faint, he just lost his strength, and he didn't panic when he looked at it.

The girls looked up at Huan Nu, and continued to work, the light was unknown, the distance was far away, and Gu Shenwei didn't see Shangguan Yu's expression clearly.

Now was not the time for revenge, he looked around, looking for a trace of the wooden knife.

The main hall was very empty, the only objects were placed under the giant knife, Gu Shenwei walked closer, saw the black jade palm, and also saw the offering table, incense burner, porcelain vase and all kinds of sacrifices, and some unique things, which are absolutely not seen in the ancestral hall of ordinary people, such as a pile of skeletons that can't distinguish between real and fake, a few scarred pieces of armor, but there are no wooden knives that can be seen everywhere in Jinpeng Castle.

The greatsword is the only one, but it is certainly not wooden.

But Xue Niang obviously said that "there is a wooden knife", Gu Shen regretted that he didn't ask Xue Niang more clearly, such as whether it was hidden.

Shangguan Ru jumped on the offering table, first carefully appreciating the giant sword and skeleton, this was the first time she had entered the Six Killings Palace, and it was probably the first time that the woman of the Shangguan family had entered, so she was very curious about everything.

Shangguan Yushi was looking at it below, and Gu Shenwei swept the hall again, and as far as his eyes could see, it was empty, and it didn't look like a place to hide wooden knives.

Shangguan Ru picked up the palm of the black jade that was the size of a real hand, put it in the pocket he had prepared in advance, then carried the pocket on his back, jumped off the offering table, nodded at the other two, and signaled that he could leave.

Shangguan Yushi passed by Gu Shenwei and glared fiercely, but he didn't care at all, this was his only chance, if he couldn't find the wooden knife, he would probably follow in the footsteps of the slaves.

The bound old man lay on the ground, looking at the roof with a peaceful gaze, unconcerned about the three thieves who broke into the main hall.

Gu Shenwei also looked at the roof, no, there was nothing there, even if the wooden knife was really hidden on it, he couldn't jump on it.

Shangguan Ru sighed, she and Shangguan Yushi had already walked to the window where they came, and were beckoning him to leave immediately.

Gu Shenwei had no choice but to walk over quickly.

Shangguan Ru was still the first to go out, leaving a pair of enemies behind and ignoring each other.

Shangguan Yushi suddenly turned his head, lowered his voice and said, "Why do I always think that you are engaged in a conspiracy?"

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, he suddenly thought of where the wooden knife might be hidden.
