Chapter 99: Teaching

Tie Hanfeng had a long and brilliant killing career. Under the influence of sword and blood, he realized his own truth and put it into practice.
Huanu is his first apprentice. He is probably the only apprentice. He has long intentionally taught this truth and has been waiting for the right time. Now, he thinks it is time.
He didn't drink alcohol and didn't swear.
"Remember the person I told you to kill?"
Gu Shen nodded. Of course, he remembered the horse-faced man. He also complained to Tie Hanfeng at the last moment, and was later targeted for assassination.
"He used to be a very famous person in Nancheng. He has inextricably linked with Shibao and Mengfu, killing him, you and I have not caused any trouble."
At this point, Gu Shenwei also remembers that the horse face man is like never existed. He has never heard of anyone who wants to avenge him.
"You killed the big belly Buddha, but it caused a series of troubles. Think about it, what is the difference between the two?"
Gu Shenwei shook his head. In fact, he had a little thought in his heart. He was vague and embarrassed to say it.
"This is what I want to tell you: killing and safe killing are two different things. Killing is killing, anyone can kill, and killing with bare hands. Safe killing is not just letting the other person bleed, the first thing you want to kill is him. Relationship'."
Tie Hanfeng said that on the head of the Xingtou, there were a lot of words in the miscellaneous, Gu Shenwei did not remember, he understood the meaning of Master's words, as straight as the top.
He remembered the conversation between Master and several people before killing the horse face man. At that time, it sounded inexplicable. Now it is clear that there is a clear purpose in recalling. The promises and rhetoric promised by Tie Hanfeng are actually in exchange for giving up. Protection of the horse face man.
Long before the iron cold front commanded the disciples to start, the horse face man had "dead."
The big belly Buddha is not more important than the horse face man. Given the proper return, Meng Wugongzi will give up this slave talent, but Gu Shenwei violated the rules and started killing before the "relationship" of the big belly Buddha was broken. There is no remedy, so that Meng Ming has lost his face and must retaliate.
Xu’s younger brother was the initiator of the work. He was forgiven because he surrendered all the money and took on a large debt.
Iron Hanfeng finally said Mr. Guo. "Now you understand why you can't challenge Mr. Guo. His 'relationship' is deeply rooted and straightforward. You don't have to do it. If you say it a little, you will get rid of the disaster. ""
"What do I do? I have been waiting for him to kill me?"
Iron Hanfeng’s face with a smug smile, like a child who finally has the opportunity to share secrets,
This is the other side of the 'relationship’. The deeper and deeper the relationship is, the harder it is to be removed. In turn, The best way to keep yourself safe is to increase the 'relationship'."
Gu Shenwei suddenly realized, but still did not know how to do it. He only had a few "relationships". One was Master Tie Hanfeng, who called for the rain in Nancheng. He returned to the fort as a flatterer and the other was Shangguan who had not seen for a long time. There is a time when the Shangguan rains that regard him as an enemy.
Tie Hanfeng seems to have a solution. At that time, he did not say it. Until another month, Gu Shenwei ended his life in the library. When he returned to the alchemy school, Tie Hanfeng took the apprentice to complete. An important step for a Jinpengbao killer must go: formally swear allegiance to a young master.
This is not the joke-like oath made by Luo Ning Tea, but the blood oath that cannot be violated in life. In the history of Jinpengbao, the tragedy of brotherhood has happened, but there has never been a killer betraying the owner. The reason is very simple. Regardless of betrayal or loyalty, once the master loses power, the killer will be buried.
In fact, Gu Shenwei has almost guessed Master’s intentions. During this month, the surviving apprentices of Dongbao have sworn to different young masters, and the young masters launched a battle of light or darkness a year ago. The best apprentices have already established contacts with the intended owners through various channels.
The juveniles of the arm slaves omitted this step. Before they entered Dongbao, they had masters, no one rushed, and their masters had the right to be righteous.
The Dutch woman has already sworn allegiance to the Eight-Lord Master. Gu Shen’s first day of returning to the Fire-fighting Court followed Master’s fulfillment of this obligation.
To swear allegiance to the enemies of the door, Gu Shen spent a night to smooth the waves caused by this incident.
Only two of the sons of Wang Chengnian were unable to leave the fort. The eldest son Shangguan was left behind by convention. The eight sons of Shangguan were not self-reliant for various reasons. They stayed in the fort to assist their father and took charge of the foreign affairs in the Foreign Affairs Office.
Gu Shenwei completed the blood oath at the Foreign Affairs Office. He has already learned the whole process from the Dutch woman, so he has done very well.
The owner of Tiehanfeng was the three young masters. He sent the apprentices outside the gate and did not follow up.
The ceremony was not complicated. Gu Shenwei bowed nine times outside the Chamber of Deputies and spoke loudly about his real name and slave name. He said that he had a "killer without roots, only the Lord is dependent", and finally pleaded with the master's acceptance.
Someone put out a half bowl of clear water and a pointed cone. Gu Shen made a few drops of blood on each of the ten fingers, indicating that "the ten fingers are connected to the Lord", and the blood fell into the water and was returned to the house for a while. Re-send it, the water is a little less, indicating that the owner has taken a sip and dripped his blood.
Gu Shen has done everything, and since then he has become a subordinate official of "loyalty". With this relationship, if someone wants to kill him, he must first cut off the "relationship" of Shangguan's anger, or be extremely covert. Row.
For more than a hundred years, the blood swearing process has been greatly simplified. Initially, the master and the killer must kill an enemy together, and swear by the blood of the enemy. The stronger the enemy, the better the blood swearing effect, and then experience a series of complicated rituals. It takes a few days or even months to recruit a killer.
As the number of killers increases year by year, the blood oath has become a form, a simple means for the young masters to seize the power of talent expansion.
Gu Shenwei knew all this because he spent a month reading the dusty books and books.
There are too many books in the library, and ten years may not be able to finish reading. They must be chosen. The person who guides Gu Shenwei is Mr. Zhang Wei of the school.
Gu Shenwei was able to read the questions from an instrument, which made Zhang Wei impressed. After Gu Shen returned to the Tibetan house, he took the initiative to ask him for advice. Zhang Wei’s initial promotion, but later his interest, not only will he have many years of experience. Teach and give, and set the task, forcing the "exterior disciple" to read the necessary information.
One of Zhang’s words is that
History tells us a lot of lessons, one of which is that no one has learned the lesson.
He taught the children of the official family to read and write, and was also responsible for explaining the history of the Stone Fort.
It is in this boring month that Gu Shen understands the history of Jinpengbao and finds that Zhang Huan’s words are justified. In countless assassinations, the reasons for failure are often the same. The same mistakes were made and corrected by similar means.
There are many traditions that have been simplified like the blood oath. For example, the funeral of the killer has been going on for three days in the past, and finally the body is thrown away. The whole process is full of dignity and has now been reduced to insult. .
The assassination is also the same. With the power of Jin Pengbao becoming stronger and stronger, the difficulty of assassination is actually getting lower and lower. Looking at the Western Region, there are very few forces that can escape under the knife of Jinpeng killer. The original scouting and selling of key people The process was almost completely abandoned, sending a "bottom" to become the only remaining tradition.
Zhang Wei is most interested in the part of "selling traitors". Every time he asks Huannu to read relevant materials, he must sigh with the cover. "People, people, all inside."
The sale of traitors is sometimes costly. Starting from the last generation of the single-step king, the expenditures in this area will be gradually reduced. In the last few years, it is simply stipulated that unless a major assassination is carried out, the "selling" will not be carried out.
Every time I talk about this, Zhang Wei is heartbroken. "In the past, the sharpest knife was gold and silver. The most powerful killer was a counselor. Now everything has changed. Only the butcher is left, and there is no real killer."
Regarding the outdated "selling" skills, Zhang Wei studied deeply and even summed up the theory. "Masters often take the servant's mean knees as they should, and the servants do not think so. They will each time their own. The flattery and the humiliation have been regarded as the capital of doing business. Under a note, waiting for the appropriate return, if there is no return or the return is unsatisfactory, the seed of betrayal will take root, pay attention to observation, this kind of person is what you will fight for. Object. Loyalty and betrayal, I saw much more, telling you that the masters are stupid, they enjoy everything with ease, never thought that everything has a price, so you can always find the ideal betrayal. Those who are the most loyal, most flattering, and who think they have paid the most."
Gu Shen was convinced and convinced. At the same time, there was a bit of horror. These words were simply his own. The reward he requested was never afforded. He was destined to be the "ideal betrayal."
The experience of this study has a huge impact on Gu Shenwei. Like the teachings of Master Tie Hanfeng, it is the two pillars of his accomplishment of revenge.
The only regret is that there is no information on the current one-step king in the library, and Gu Shen can not find the detailed records of the killing of Gu.
Psychologically, Gu Shenwei felt that she was not so weak for the first time. While Jinpengbao was growing stronger, it also lost many seemingly unimportant things. Today, Jinpengbao is unprecedentedly powerful, in some hidden places. It is also surprisingly fragile.
Gu Shenwei can't make a revenge plan, but the road ahead is no longer a fog. Jinpengbao is no longer a stalwart King Kong Mountain. It is just a common stone fort.
Gu Shenwei’s thinking has been greatly expanded, and the martial arts has fallen. The evil fruit planted by Xue Niang has gradually appeared. He has experienced another ignorance. Like the previous one, he completely fainted and could not memorize the text of the unknown sword. The internal work has not been enhanced.
Hehe stayed in the third floor of Yinjin for more than half a year. The internal strength of the students of Dongbao was generally weaker than Gu Shen, and now someone has surpassed him.
On the third day after the official anger was sworn in allegiance, Gu Shen participated in the seventh monthly test and suffered a fiasco. She almost lost her life and provoked the wrath of Master Tie Hanfeng, and also let him re-examine the nameless sword.
