Tie Hanfeng's face inevitably became red and bright when he was less than twenty years old, which made him look approachable at first, and when the red became darker and darker, and the lines on his face gradually became clearer, it made him look always angry in middle age, as if he was going to draw a knife at any time, and it was from then on that he deliberately created that flattering smile and used it to hide his true face.

How can a person who makes the other party wary when they meet for the first time be a killer? This is the reason for Tie Hanfeng's "change of appearance."

More than twenty years have passed, and the smiling face has solidified on his face, like a mask that merges with the skin.

Everyone accepted his appearance, in fact, if you look closely, you will find that the murderous aura behind the "smiley mask" is getting heavier and heavier, and the light in his eyes occasionally flashes, revealing a murderous intent with signs of loss of control.

Gu Shenwei observed carefully, he didn't see any signs of losing control, he only saw a lame old man with a murderous heart, somewhat similar to Marshal Yang who died at the gate of Jinpeng Castle, he thought, if he was in charge of the yellow belt, he would never be rude to this person, let alone offend him easily.

"I would like to be his apprentice. ”

Gu Shenwei opened his mouth and said, Tie Hanfeng smiled even more flatteringly, glanced at his future apprentice, and approached the yellow belt manager, "Look, someone picked on me, and I also think he is good." ”

The steward frowned, it was nothing to give the iron cripple an apprentice, but this apprentice had the courage to resist the corpse alone, and he was his "right-hand man", so he really didn't want to let go easily and waste it in the hands of an unqualified master.

Tie Hanfeng just looked at the steward with a smile, hoping to influence him in this way, but Gu Shenwei guessed the steward's intentions, and he also had his own purpose, so he said: "I will be his apprentice, and I will come back every day to carry the corpse." ”

"That's it, my apprentice looks like a good hand at carrying corpses. ”

Tie Hanfeng slapped Huan Nu on the back of the head, and the force was not small, almost knocking him to the head.

"You don't have to come every day, just once every three days, and when you have enough manpower, you won't need it. ”

The steward finally agreed to release the person, and then formally introduced the two parties, and called the pen to write down the relevant information, even if the apprenticeship was completed, Jinpeng Fort was not vain, and there has never been any complicated ritual in this kind of thing.

Tie Hanfeng took his newly recruited apprentice back to his residence, which was a shabby and dilapidated small courtyard, located further south of the East Fort, not far from the "Wooden Knife Alley" where Xue Niang died.

There are many houses in this area, all of them are small and dilapidated, it is the place where the masters of the Fire Refining Courtyard take their apprentices, each courtyard has one to six or seven rooms, the courtyard is only a dozen steps large, and the small one is only a few steps square, but the courtyard wall is towering, Gu Shenwei looked up, and felt as if he had lived in a deep well.

The yard was a mess, as if a group of people had fought here, and then drank too much and vomited all over the ground.

Near the door of the house were a small table and a chaise longue, on which were scattered dishes and poured wine utensils, and under the courtyard wall stood a broken weapon rack, on which there were no weapons, and all six or seven narrow knives were lying on the ground, and the scabbards were missing.

This is not like a place for a killer, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but suspect that his initial judgment was very wrong, this Tie Hanfeng was not a real killer at all, and the attitude of those yellow belt stewards clearly showed that they didn't believe that this cripple was worthy of an apprentice.

This question was quickly answered.

As soon as Tie Hanfeng entered the courtyard, he went straight to the recliner in front of the door, and the whole person fell on it, as if a traveler who had finally returned to his homeland, so tired that he just couldn't sleep.

Tie Hanfeng didn't sleep, he grabbed the wine jug, tilted his neck and poured it, found that it was empty, snapped it down, chirped his mouth, and relieved his hangover by swallowing the liquid, and then it seemed that it was the first time he saw his apprentice, and suddenly his face turned cold, "Little bastard, you also want to be a killer?"

The iron cold front that wiped off his smiling face was angry, and he became more and more like a cold-blooded killer.

"Yes, Master. ”

"Your throat and eyes are choked with, hold it like this, and you're going to talk to me completely. ”

This is another hobby of the killer Tie Hanfeng - swearing, in front of people who don't need to be slapped, he swears a lot, as if he can't express his thoughts without this.

"Yes, the disciple wants to be a killer, Master. ”

"Well, you can kill me, there's a knife over there. ”

Gu Shenwei had seen indifferent people, vicious people, and sinister people in Jinpeng Castle, but he had never seen such a red-faced man in front of him who changed his face like a trick.

Seeing that the apprentice was at a loss, Tie Hanfeng grabbed a wine glass and threw it over, he was not a ruthless Miss Luo Ningcha, the wine glass hit Gu Shenwei's forehead accurately, and blood flowed out immediately.

"I fucking asked you to kill me, don't you understand? Do you have ears on your ass, or have you been eaten by dogs?"

Gu Shenwei was already so angry that he couldn't even think of words to fight back, so he silently walked under the wall, picked up a narrow knife that looked the sharpest, turned around and walked towards his master, and suddenly attacked when he was five steps away from him, this knife went all out and showed no mercy.

Tie Hanfeng lay comfortably on the chair, and waited until the narrow knife was approaching, before he suddenly pulled out an identical narrow knife from under the recliner, and the speed was terrifying.

The sword light shone, came suddenly, and disappeared in an instant, and the red face behind the light was like a god of death who had come to the world to seduce the soul.

Gu Shenwei fell to the ground like a pile of rags, motionless, and after a while, bright red blood flowed from under his body.

"Idiot. ”

Tie Hanfeng spat out two words from between his teeth, crossed his knees, picked up the empty wine jug for the second time, and then skimmed it out in annoyance, the wine jug hit the stone wall and bounced off the ground, adding another piece of waste to the yard.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Shenwei woke up from the darkness, his chest was in sharp pain, but his mind was numb, "He wants to kill me", this was the first thought of the young man, and the next thought was "Why didn't I die".

He let out a groan, then stood up like a wooden man with a trap.

The clothes on his chest had been dyed red, and a rough and ugly knife cut was more than a foot long from his left shoulder to his right rib.

Tie Hanfeng was still lying on the chair, but the wine glass in his hand was already filled with a mellow liquid.

"Are you dead?"

"Nope. ”

Gu Shenwei replied through gritted teeth.

"If you're not dead, go and bandage your wounds, you're getting a lot of blood. ”

Politeness and politeness are superfluous things in this small courtyard, Gu Shenwei didn't reply, and went directly into the house to find hemostatic medicine powder and bandages, and didn't even bother to cover the wound, just let the blood drip down, he was thinking about how to kill his master, and even the pain was not so obvious.

The inside of the house was cleaner than the outside, but this was because it had been uninhabited for a long time, the beds were neatly stacked, and the top was covered with dust, and Tie Hanfeng lived on a recliner from morning to night.

Medicine chests, gauze and other things are placed in a very conspicuous place, indicating that the owner is indeed a person who begs for a living on the knife edge.

Gu Shenwei's first indelible scar on his body was left in this way, and at this time, his processing skills were still very unskilled, and a series of procedures such as wiping, applying medicine, and bandaging took a lot of time.

It won't be long before he will become accustomed to all kinds of wounds, and he will be able to do it himself and bandage it as quickly as possible.

Gu Shenwei walked out of the room, looked at the back of Tie Hanfeng's neck, and wanted to sneak attack him from behind.

"This is not a good time for an assassination. ”

Tie Hanfeng said without looking back, picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, his voice was gentle and confused, like a wise man who was deep in thought.

Soon Gu Shenwei will understand that this is another side of the master's many personalities, the more others drink, the worse their temper becomes, he is just the opposite, when he is sober, he is full of swearing, as if everyone is his enemy, a few glasses of wine, immediately changed his appearance, reasonable, soft-spoken, like a child who has not been in the world.

Gu Shenwei also knew why the stewards in the Fire Refining Courtyard were not optimistic about this killer master, Tie Hanfeng was addicted to alcohol, every drop of wine could extinguish a little murderous energy, and in the end he was drunk like mud, leaving only a bunch of indisputable shells, not to mention killing, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself.

It is indeed difficult for such a master to bring out decent apprentices.

"It's a pity that you are a good seedling, and no one appreciates you. ”

This is the second time in half a month that someone has said that Huan Nu is a "good seedling", and Gu Shenwei realized that the person who saved his life and that of the Dutch woman turned out to be Hu Shining, the teacher in the carving courtyard, the person he used to treat coldly.

"I don't even see how you cut it. ”

Gu Shenwei said in a dumb voice, he still thought that after Hehe Jin reached the third layer of yin and yang, he would have the ability to compete with the killer, but he was still vulnerable.

"Killing people is such a thing, you will know what it is when you chop and chop. Come, go on. ”

This is the way Tie Hanfeng led his apprentices, without any verbal teaching, nor did he teach any moves, in his opinion, it was enough to learn two or three sets of sword techniques, and the rest was to gain experience and understand the truth from it.

His first request to Huan Nu was very simple, "Within ten days, force me out of the chair, and if you do it, let's continue to be masters and apprentices, if you can't do it, I will kill you." ”

Tie Hanfeng was already half-drunk when he said this, so his tone was not tough at all, but Gu Shenwei believed that his threat was real, so he immediately picked up the knife, no matter how painful the wound on his chest was, and tried his best to "kill" his master.

There is a reason to limit ten days, and Huannu's first monthly test is ten days later.

"I don't want TM to beat, I don't want TM to win, I want you to kill your opponent, it doesn't matter how many moves you use, the only one who kills is a knife, what about your poor murderous aura? Don't hide it, take it all out, just like your mother was so hard when she gave birth to you. ”

Tie Hanfeng taught his apprentice like this when he didn't drink, Gu Shenwei knew that this was to arouse his fighting spirit, but he was still angry, all the people he came into contact with before the age of fourteen were all polite, no matter how vulgar the people he saw after the destruction of the door, there was no such non-verbal virtue as a cripple.

Gu Shenwei imagined his master as Han Shiqi, Shangguan Yushi, and Shangguan Fu, frantically evoking the murderous aura hidden in his heart, and on the ninth day of apprenticeship, he successfully forced Tie Hanfeng to jump up and split the rattan chaise longue that Master regarded as a treasure in two.
