Gu Shenwei's internal strength was completely controlled by Xue Niang, and only through her iron finger internal strength could she make progress, and at the same time, this internal strength gathered in the Xuanji acupoint in her chest, like a dormant parasite, ready to break out of her shell and devour the host's flesh and blood at any time.

Xue Niang's punishment last night was a powerful urging, and the next night, the hot qi in Xuanji's cave suddenly broke through the barrier on its own and went straight to the dantian.

Gu Shenwei was unprepared, although his injuries had not healed, but the early summer sun was so bright and warm, he was immersed in the feeling of immortality and divine protection, and in a trance, his body lost control, and he sat up straight, his chest was abnormally tight, and he opened his mouth to scream, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

At this time, if someone is watching, they will be very sure that Huan Nu is a ghost.

No one watched, and there was no help, Gu Shenwei fell to the ground again in the blink of an eye, convulsions and twists, and a series of moans came out of his mouth.

The symptoms lasted only a quarter of an hour, but he felt like he had been soaking in a hot tub all day, sweating profusely, his limbs collapsed, and he couldn't even move a finger.

He also thought that he could use Xue Niang as a backer for a while, but now he understands that the road that two people with their own ghosts have taken together in Jinpeng Castle is coming to an end.

Gu Shenwei was still lying down, thinking about Xue Niang for a while, and thinking about Shangguan Yu for a while, before he knew it, his body could move again, he sat up again, and just saw two Dapeng birds landing on the opposite side.

The two flat-haired beasts probably felt that they had not repaid the man for saving his son, and since he did not like to eat wolf eyes, they brought more delicious food—two fresh beast hearts, so fresh that they almost seemed to be beating.

Gu Shenwei was overjoyed, and seeing Dapeng Bird again gave him great comfort, and even the pain on his body was not so unbearable.

For the first time since the collapse of his family, he was unconditionally liked, but he was also disgusting, so he had to make a series of complex gestures, first to express his gratitude, and then to refuse the meal as well.

The two Dapeng birds looked a little surprised, looked down at this tricky human together, and suddenly bit their hearts and flew away.

Gu Shenwei regretted it a little, he didn't want to offend them, in this cold stone castle, even if it was against a dog, he had to wear a mask, and it was rare that there were two living creatures that could be treated without disguise.

The Roc seemed to feel given a cold shoulder, and did not reappear that day.

In the following time, just as Shangguan Ru said, "everything is back to normal", they practiced martial arts together, discussing who the next "assassination" target would be, Shangguan Yushi in order to show that she had "forgiven" Huan Nu, so she behaved more lively than usual and came up with a lot of ideas.

But from her eyes, Gu Shenwei could see clearly: after the fear was gone, her resentment did not diminish in the slightest.

Gu Shenwei didn't mention the matter of going crazy to anyone, including Xue Niang.

To his delight, the Roc bird did not hold a grudge against him, and the next morning it appeared again, this time bringing two kinds of food, the female holding an unknown fruit, and the male holding a live multicolored snake.

Gu Shenwei chose the fruit without hesitation, whether it was poisonous or not, he devoured it, and made a very satisfied expression while eating.

The female pecks her partner with her beak to indicate that her judgment is correct, and the male turns his head majestically, takes the live snake in his mouth, and swallows it in two bites.

Gu Shenwei was very happy to see the Dapeng birds again, and cautiously approached, tentatively stretching out his arms to touch their inky black feathers.

The Roc bird obviously doesn't like to be touched by humans, and the last time it flew up the cliff was a last resort, so this time it refused simply - spread its wings and fly away.

Gu Shenwei has one more secret in his heart, this secret is no longer oppressive and dark, but full of joy and light, from the two Dapeng birds, he got the warmth of family, and he also has a vague expectation, if these two big birds can help him take revenge......

However, the Dapeng bird may not be interested in revenge, they deliberately avoid humans, and every time they come to see Gu Shenwei, they must first observe to make sure that no one comes up.

Because of these two big birds, Gu Shenwei even postponed the revenge plan, in fact, he didn't have a plan yet, his injuries didn't heal until more than half a month, Shangguan Yu no longer openly provoked, and he could only pretend to ignore his previous suspicions.

The Roc Bird seemed to feel that no amount of things could repay this unexpected human being, so they changed their tricks to bring him things, and after getting a general understanding of his taste, they gave up the blood-dripping food and replaced it with all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits.

Gu Shenwei's way of accepting was to swallow these flowers and fruits immediately, and a few times, he felt that the flowers brought by the Dapeng bird were amazingly beautiful, and he couldn't help but want to stay and appreciate them slowly, but they were about to throw away the flowers in their mouths, so he had to grab them and chew them.

Fortunately, in most cases, the smell of fragrant flowers does not taste bad.

Once, the fragrance of that flower was too strong, and it still lingered after he ate it in his stomach, and when he practiced martial arts with the twins in the afternoon, Shangguan Ru sniffed around him, and asked suspiciously: "Have you smeared rouge?"

Gu Shenwei hurriedly denied it with a red face, but it caused everyone around him to laugh, "Huan Nu secretly smeared rouge" was a topic of conversation among teenagers for several days, but no one really investigated it, and the matter slowly passed.

A month later, the Roc Bird felt that food alone was not enough, and began to look for things that birds and beasts could not use but that humans might value.

It's not just the Jinpeng Castle killer who has fallen from the top, but also other characters, this stone fort has been built for a hundred years, and the situation has changed during this period, and every time a new owner takes power, he will habitually throw the belongings of the previous owner off the cliff.

It was from these things scattered at the bottom of the cliff that the Dapeng bird chose gifts for Gu Shenwei.

These gifts consisted of rusty armor, mutilated swords, scattered jewels, and half-rotted clothing, most of which were of little value, and Gu Shenwei always accepted them on the spot, hid them in the holes under the boulders, and then threw them away again when he had the opportunity, leaving only a few pieces of jewelry that could be seen.

Occasionally, the Roc Bird can also bring dazzling treasures, among which is a long sword, which has been buried at the bottom of the cliff for an unknown number of years, still cold, as if it has just left the hands of the swordsmith.

Gu Shenwei took it and played with it for several days, and finally threw it away, the boulder cliff was full of wooden weapons of twins, this sword was too dazzling, in case he was found that he couldn't explain clearly, and Shangguan Yushi was desperate to find him trouble.

Shangguan Yu returned to normal, that is, she was full of jealousy towards Huan Nu, but she hid it in front of Shangguan Ru, she still thought that the ninth prince belonged to her alone, and no one had the right to approach, even the little prince Shangguan Fei, if it weren't for her sister obviously looking down on her brother, she would also be jealous.

Gu Shenwei carefully maintained a peaceful relationship with her, and he didn't want to risk revenge unless he had a perfect plan.

The trust of the Dapeng bird in this human is increasing day by day, and Gu Shenwei can now gently stroke their feathers on the premise of obtaining permission, those feathers are some soft and some hard, especially the dozens of long feathers on the wingtips and tail, when the Dapeng bird is angry, the roots will stand up, making the size increase again.

After feeling completely safe, the chick was brought up once, but it still did not grow a single feather, did not grow much meat, and did not grow taller, and as soon as it came up, it looked everywhere for food, as if it had not eaten since birth.

Perhaps because it is too easy for parents to hunt for food, its stage as a young bird is much longer than that of ordinary birds and beasts, almost two months old, and it is still the same as when it first emerged from the eggshell.

Anyway, it still remembered that Gu Shen was chasing him and pecking desperately for this human, so he was grabbed by the female bird and taken away after a while.

Probably because he thought that the chick was too impolite and unsightly, the Dapeng bird never brought it again, and Gu Shenwei missed the ugly animal a little.

When midsummer came, and the Gu family was slaughtered for almost a year, two Dapeng birds sent Gu Shenwei a strange gift, not food to eat, nor utensils to use, but a book.

They probably hesitated for a long time to send the book, so they brought a lot of delicious fruit at the same time to offset the "unimportant" of the gift.

The book was made of sheepskin, but it was made in the style of the Central Plains, and it was very shabby, and there was not even a cover, it probably fell into a crack in the stone, so it was not destroyed by the wind and rain.

Each page contains a simple drawing, with a few lines of esoteric poetry, annotated on either side in a completely different handwriting.

After Dapeng Bird left, Gu Shenwei skimmed through the book cursoryly, and almost didn't understand a word, but the pictures were clear and clear, indicating that this was a sword book without a name.

Before the twins arrived, he hid the book in a crack in the stone wall.

The Boulder Cliff was the stronghold of the twins, and no one was more familiar with it than Gu Shenwei, and no one would find what he was hiding unless he searched inch by inch.

It took Gu Shenwei three days to roughly understand this sword book, and he felt that it was terrible and ridiculous, and almost threw it away.

On the first page of the sword spectrum, there are a few incomprehensible words: "If you want to make people die, you must first die by yourself, the form is like a withered tree, the heart is like dead ashes, you forget yourself, the one who kills does not die, and the living do not live." ”

A few of the sentences were borrowed from the "Zhuangzi", which Gu Shenwei didn't know much when he read the book, and he couldn't understand it at this time, and the explanation on the right side of the page was also cloudy and foggy, full of "death and death".

The picture is simple, a sword stabs into someone's neck, and most of the swordsmen have a painful and hideous face, like a demon who has escaped directly from hell.

Each painting has the same content: the sword is stabbed into the neck, the only difference being the angle of the sword.

What kind of sword is this? Stabbing the neck swordsmanship? Gu Shenwei felt that this was a deceptive book and a prank made by someone, there really is such a swordsmanship, it is very simple to crack, as long as you bring a sturdy neck guard, the sword is invulnerable, and the swordsmanship is useless no matter how clever it is.

Gu Shenwei stood on the edge of the cliff several times and wanted to throw it away, but he always felt that some sentences in the book seemed to have some truth, but fortunately, the book was not thick, so he hid it again.

But he hadn't read the book for a long time, especially after something that had happened so painfully to him that he had almost completely forgotten about it.
