Chapter XXXVII

From Shangguan Ru's mouth, Gu Shenwei learned that the "Book of the Dead" was a mantra passed down from the old man of Jinpeng Castle, and most of them had been forgotten for a long time, and only these two sentences remained.

Gu Shenwei pondered in his heart the words "the living are miserable, the dead are safe", and the pain was like a knife, he was the "living" who were "sad", but were those "dead", his closest relatives, really "safe"? If he could know the truth after death, he might not need to bear the burden of revenge.

Ignorance is probably the root cause of the "misery of the living."

The two corpse bearers returned empty-handed, bowed as they passed by the little master, their faces were pale, their movements were silent, and they soon disappeared into the depths of the alley, as if they were also stained with ghostly energy.

Shangguan Fei refused to play anymore, the two girls were worried in their hearts, and they didn't persevere, this expedition ended, and the newly emerging "Moon Holding Faction" apprenticeship ceremony ended without a problem.

Gu Shenwei had the intention to continue this "game", which was very helpful for him to curry favor with Shangguan Ru, but Shangguan Yu seemed to be very vigilant, and asked to go back to the inner house as soon as he got out of Dongbao, and the frightened Shangguan Fei naturally agreed very much, Shangguan Ru couldn't resist the two of them, so he had to obey.

Gu Shenwei and the other companions were not qualified to enter the inner house, and after the master left, Qing Nu reprimanded Huan Nu fiercely in front of everyone, and then dismissed everyone.

When she reported the situation to Xue Niang in the evening, she was also very interested in the small game of "Holding the Moon Pie", and asked Huan Nu to continue to encourage Shangguan Ru to play the next day, "You see, as long as you work hard, things can always be done, you should ask the ninth prince to pass on your martial arts, she is the daughter of the king, she can really teach you a few hands, but she has benefited a lot." ā€

Naturally, this will not be the true purpose of Xue Niang, Gu Shenwei even claimed that it was, and became more and more curious about this woman in her heart, did she want to steal the martial arts of Jinpeng Castle? But her skills are already very good, especially those few iron fingers, and she doesn't want to be a killer, what can Jinpeng Castle attract her?

"You beat the slave, it's good, he's not very happy, it's okay, he also needs a little lesson and stimulation. ā€

Gu Shenwei promised it in his mouth, but his heart sank, in order to please Shangguan Ru, he offended many people on this day.

Bidding farewell to Xue Niang, Gu Shenwei returned to the stone house and quietly recalled what happened that day.

Being able to defeat the slave in one move was beyond his expectations, and the great improvement of "Killing Heart" on martial arts was also unexpected.

Lying on the kang, Gu Shenwei tried to bring back the "murderous heart" again.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to practice, the killing heart is not a minion, it comes when it is recruited, and it is gone immediately, Gu Shenwei is first facing the void, and then facing the wall, but the result is not at all, in the face of dead things, how can you give birth to the heart of "killing"?

You still have to find a living person to practice.

Lao Zhang was sleeping heavily, he was sleeping on the kang, Gu Shenwei was lying on the other side, the two were separated by several feet, just about the same distance from the competition.

Gu Shenwei imagined Lao Zhang as Han Shiqi, this trick really worked, and slowly the killing intent rose, and there was no weapon in his hand, but he felt that he could kill this person even with his fingers, eyes, throat, and lower yin, didn't there be many weak lifelines?

The murderous aura became more and more vigorous, Gu Shenwei could hardly resist the urge to do it immediately, and in an instant, he understood where his murderous intent came from.

The so-called murderous intent is the hatred that removes fear.

Hating a person often means being afraid of that person, and only after overcoming "fear" can "hate" turn into murderous intent and turn into strength.

When he competed with the slaves during the day, Gu Shenwei had already practiced this, and it was not until this time that he fully comprehended it.

There was light in front of him, and a new world of martial arts loomed just a stone's throw away.

The light passed through the gap like a white horse, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only two frightened, angry eyes.

"Y-What the fuck are you trying to do?"

Lao Zhang was sleeping soundly, and suddenly his heart was frightened, like a man's back, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the murderous young man Huan slave in the dark.

Gu Shenwei woke up suddenly, and his murderous intent was like a shy and scared little beast at this time, and when he heard a reprimand, he immediately hid in the darkness and refused to show his face again.

"It's okay, I—I can't sleep. ā€

"Why can't you sleep, why do you go out to look at the moon and stare at me if you can't sleep?"

"I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, I didn't mean to. ā€

Lao Zhang seemed to be really frightened, scolded in his mouth, turned around, turned his back to Huan Nu and wanted to sleep again, but he didn't dare to close his eyes, scolded again, got out of the bed, put on his clothes and went out, he was not in the mood to look at the moon, but went to the stable to take care of the treasures.

"People are just not as reliable as animals. Lao Zhang muttered quietly.

At the end of the day, Gu Shenwei offended another person, but it was Lao Zhang's reaction that reminded him not to train murderous intent casually in the future, it was too attention-grabbing, even Lao Zhang, who didn't know martial arts, was alert, and the teacher of the Carving Wood Academy also had a sudden change of attitude during the day.

This is not a good thing for a person who just wants to hide his identity and secretly get revenge.

The next day, the plan to further curry favor with Shangguan Ru failed to materialize, and the twins did not appear at all, Qingnu was not surprised by this, yawned and said: "It's almost the New Year, Madam will definitely keep the two sons by her side, it is estimated that we will have nothing to do for a while." ā€

However, Shangguan Yushi came, and this was the first time Gu Shenwei saw her go to school alone.

Without Shangguan Ru by her side, her expression was more indifferent and proud than usual, and a schoolboy was standing at the door laughing with her partner, she pushed him to his heels, and went straight to the door, without even looking at it.

The schoolboy who was pushed down turned blue with anger, clenched his fists and was about to open his mouth to curse, but when he saw that his back was Yu Gongzi, he swallowed the words back, although he was a child of the Shangguan family, his status was completely different.

At this time, if you come up and call "Uncle Yu", you will only be bored with yourself, Gu Shenwei is standing in the distance, not wanting to provoke this little female devil.

But the trouble is always like this, and the more you try to dodge, the tighter it chases.

The twins did not come to school, according to the custom, the company of the two can disperse and go their own way, when the chaotic sound of reading came from the school, Qingnu really allowed most of them to leave, leaving only seven or eight teenagers who usually accompany them.

Qingnu went to chat with the other companions, and the boys were standing in the corner, when suddenly someone whispered:

"You shouldn't have done that. ā€

Gu Shenwei took a while to understand that this was meant for him, and the young man who spoke did not mention his name or look at him.

"What?"

"You shouldn't be called Master Jiugongzi. Another teenager said.

Gu Shenwei was puzzled, when he "apprenticed" yesterday, Shangguan Ru was very happy, and how could this news spread so quickly.

"Hmm. Gu Shenwei replied casually, he was no longer surprised by the jealousy and competition of the slaves, just because he didn't listen to the words of the slave but won the love of the two sons, the slave has always been yin and yang to him, so that none of the companions at the gate of the school have a good face for him.

"Don't you understand?" said the third teenager.

Gu Shenwei was puzzled, these teenagers didn't seem to be jealous, but really wanted to remind him.

"Understand what?"

On the other side, Qingnu chatted happily and laughed, and the teenagers all shut up nervously, the status of the accompaniment among the companions was relatively low, and they were the most afraid of Qingnu.

But in a sense, Huan Nu is their "savior", since the arrival of this slave who is on par with Jiu Gongzi, their lives are much better, and a few people have even miraculously not been injured for several months, so they don't want Huan Nu to be unlucky.

Qing Nu's laughter gradually stopped, and a young man closest to Gu Shenwei lowered his voice and said, "You shouldn't be too close to the Ninth Prince, Young Master Yu will definitely be unhappy." ā€

Gu Shenwei was stunned, no wonder since he called out the word "Master" outside the Moon Courtyard yesterday, Shangguan Yushi looked weird, and he always deliberately wanted to get rid of him, it turned out that he was jealous of him!

It doesn't matter if the slave is jealous of the slave, the master is also jealous of the slave, which is a bit incomprehensible, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"He doesn't know!" a teenager exclaimed in surprise, and immediately covered his mouth.

"Don't know what?" Gu Shenwei was a little annoyed, if these people wanted to help, why didn't they make it clear?

"Boy Rain...... Killed. ā€

After a while, someone spoke in a very low voice, and then no one spoke.

Jinpeng Castle is full of killers who kill people, but the young man is so afraid of a girl who has killed people, Gu Shenwei is a little uneasy, he has also killed people, and one of them is still done by him.

However, he did see the brutality of Shangguan Yu, and once, in front of everyone, she stepped on the arm of a young man who was beating after winning the battle, and the young man was now standing beside Gu Shenwei, his face turned pale.

Shangguan Yushi did not find someone to compete in martial arts between classes, and waited until noon, when the schoolchildren dispersed one after another, and after the old gentleman who taught Shi Ran left, a scholar came out of it and ordered the eight accompanying teenagers who were waiting outside to go in together.

Strictly speaking, these teenagers do not belong to Shangguan Yushi, they are the minions assigned to the twins, but Yu Gongzi's words are no different from those of Jiu Gongzi, and no one dares to disobey.

Qingnu did not go in and continued to guard the gate.

The courtyard of the school was empty, and the scholar led them into a house in the east wing.

The desk inside had been cleaned up to the corner, making way for an open space in the middle, Shangguan Yushi was sitting on a chair, and behind her stood her scholar, on both sides were several children of the Shangguan family.

This is not like a competition, Gu Shenwei's heart moved, and he understood that today's game was aimed at himself.

Shangguan Yushi didn't like someone to please Jiu Gongzi too much, especially since this person was just a minion.

"Stinky boy, why don't you call me uncle?"

"The little slave doesn't dare. Gu Shenwei knelt down on his knees.

In order to take revenge, he was willing to be a slave, and he had to be as much like a slave as possible, and in the face of the humiliation inflicted by his master, the first thing he thought of was what Haruka Nu would do.

The sharp-faced young man he killed was still influencing and guiding him in the dark.

"Don't you dare? I think you were very bold yesterday. Did you become a slave on the first day? After serving your master for a few days, you dared to go beyond the rules and do misdeeds? ā€

"He's a kid brought by Grandma Eight from the bandit camp. ā€

A scholar behind Shangguan Yushi leaned up and said, this made Shangguan Yushi's hatred even more, the eighth young grandmother and Mrs. were at odds, and the twins were Madame's biological flesh and blood, and the people around them naturally wouldn't like the daughter of the big-headed god and anyone she brought.

"I'm the Eighth Young Master to send ......"

Gu Shenwei still wanted to defend himself, Shangguan Yushi stood up, his eyebrows were upside down, and he kicked at him, "Bold dog minion, as nasty as your slut master, is not worthy of living in Jinpeng Castle." ā€

Gu Shenwei only hesitated for a moment, his chest had already been hit, and his harmony strength had been practiced to a certain extent, but he still couldn't withstand the girl's kick, his body turned back, and when he knelt straight again, he only felt a pain in his ribs.

Shangguan Yushi was still not relieved, turned to the other seven beating boys, and coldly ordered: "Give him a slap and teach him the rules of being a slave." ā€

Gu Shenwei's heart is surging, no matter how much he imitates Yao Nu, he is not a real minion, the humiliation is more unbearable than death, and the murderous intent he hides in the depths is about to rise again.
