Slave forever

Among the holy gates.

The deep hall was empty at first glance, and the gilded seat on the high hall, which symbolized the supreme power of the Holy Gate, seemed to have just been wiped and was spotless.

And under the steps, on the left and right sides stood a half-human-high alien beast incense burner.Unknown spices were burning in the cauldron, the smoke lingered on the cauldron, and the faint aroma filled the entire hall.

Although no one will come here these days, the maids of the hall still do their best to keep the place clean and tidy every day.

Yan Qinghe, the master of the holy gate, is in retreat, and all matters in the holy gate are now handed over to the young master Yan Huaifeng, and Yan Huaifeng will never sit in his father's position in order to show his respect for his father.

There is a slightly smaller side hall to the left of the main hall, which he usually uses as a study.

Behind the heavy curtains, Yan Huaifeng stood with a fan, looked at the man in black kneeling on one knee in front of him, took a scroll presented by him, and unfolded it for a closer look.

There were only a few lines of small characters on the paper, but they were read at a glance. Yan Huaifeng pondered for a moment, threw the note into the small incense burner on the table, slowly watched the red flames devour it little by little, and then lowered his head. He said in a voice: "Keep watching, if there is an accident, deal with it as appropriate."

The man in black nodded and stepped back quickly.

Yan Huaifeng looked at the scarlet sparks looming in the censer, thoughtful.

Ghost Valley.

On the second day after the long talk with Chang Yuan, Guigu's disciples who participated in the training were left with 27 people.

Chu Yue walked into the team, seemingly not looking sideways, but he had already seen clearly the people who were still there.He didn't have any friendship with these people before, he just wanted to live his own life in peace, after all, going out of the valley to protect Yan Huaifeng as soon as possible is the most important thing.

But after being told by Chang Yuan, he had to pay attention to them.

Chu Yue was a little absent-minded, and still didn't understand what Yan Huaifeng's intention was for letting him come to Ghost Valley, to train himself to be a ruthless... shadow guard?

Once distracted, he was at a disadvantage when fighting with Chang Yuan.

Unlike disciples of other sects who can't use weapons that can hurt people when fighting, Guigu has always had no taboos. If he didn't pay attention, Chu Yue's neck was cut.

Fortunately, the other party responded quickly, otherwise, this blow would have killed him.

Seeing the red blood slowly oozing out from the wound, Chang Yuan was startled, and while apologizing, he dragged Chu Yue to bandage him, but he didn't see the expressions of regret or pity on the other people behind him.

——Of course it's not regret that Chu Yue was injured, but regret that he didn't die.

At four o'clock that night, there was not a single star of light in the entire Ghost Valley, and everyone fell into a deep sleep. Only the mountain wind howled, and occasionally blew through the forest, making a shrill sound similar to howling ghosts and wolves.

Chu Yue was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, breathing long and gently, with a calm face, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Ever since he entered the cold pool, he was particularly afraid of the cold. Once the quilt was thinned, he would definitely have no sleep at night.

On the other side, Chang Yuan was also playing chess with Zhou Gong, the whole room was very quiet, no sound could be heard.

At this moment, there was a slight sound on the roof, which was almost negligible in the sound of the wind.The black figure crouched on the house, tiptoely opening the bamboo, and one eye emerged from the gap, peeping furtively into the house.

After confirming the position of the bed where Chu Yue was sleeping, the eyes disappeared for a moment, replaced by a thin and hollow bamboo tube, which slowly extended from the roof, aiming at the direction of Chu Yue's throat.

With a sound of "duh", a small blue needle pierced through the air along the direction of the bamboo tube, and shot towards Chu Yue's bed in a flash.

At this critical moment, Chu Yue, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were so clear that he didn't look like a person who just woke up.

He quickly turned his head, and the small needle was inserted into the pillow where he was sleeping with a fierce momentum, almost sticking to his neck. There was a faint blue light shining on the needle, which clearly quenched the poison.

Chu Yue sneered, thinking that it really came.Then immediately pulled out the long sword hidden in the quilt and jumped up. It was inevitable that someone would run away without going through the door. He went straight through the roof and flew up, turning over and standing on the ridge of the roof. Sure enough, he saw a black shadow leaving in a panic. .

Thinking that the opponent missed a single hit, he was flying thousands of miles away, which is really the demeanor of a killer.

Chu Yue stepped lightly on the eaves to bully him. His lightness kung fu is called "Tianhe Changfeng". Although he has not practiced it to the point of perfection, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

The man knew that he was catching up, and without looking back, he threw a few poison darts with his sleeves.Chu Yue swung his sword and knocked down one by one, and even knocked one of them back. The man knew he couldn't hear the sharp wind, so he turned around and avoided it. , seems to be cautious enough.

It's just - he will never let the person who wants to assassinate him go back!

Slightly raised his breath and quickened his pace, the masked man was blocked by his own poison dart, and finally failed to escape. Seeing that Chu Yue was aggressive and didn't want to let him go, he could only grit his teeth and turn around, and the two fought together.

The other party was obviously just a master of assassination, and Chu Yue was no match for him with open swords and bright spears. He was always at a disadvantage in the fight, but there were endless devious tricks, and Chu Yue almost suffered a secret loss several times.

The elusive poison-quenching needle always appears from various tricky and weird angles. Whenever Chu Yue is able to pick off the masked man's black veil, the other party will throw out a poisonous needle, making Chu Yue Had to return the sword to protect himself.

The two wrestled silently for nearly a stick of incense. Only the sound of weapons clashing echoed in the dark night, and neither of them spoke.

Chu Yue didn't speak because he knew that if he asked something like "who is here and what is your business" or "why did you come to kill me", not only would it be very stupid, but it would never get an answer.If you really want to know the truth, arresting people is the best policy.

The reason why the masked man didn't speak was because there were only a few Guigu disciples. Although Chu Yue was not usually close to them, he might not be able to recognize his voice.

The masked man now regrets that he made the wrong call. He thought that Chu Yue was injured today and must have slept very deeply at night. Besides, this is an outsider who was sent halfway, so he must be easier to deal with than other brothers and sisters who trained together in the past.

Who would have thought that the other party would be so vigilant!

As soon as he was annoyed, there was a flaw in his moves. Chu Yue looked at the right time, and with a move of Baihong piercing the sun, the sword moved from bottom to top, gently and precisely splitting the opponent's black veil in half. Blow, float away like a butterfly with the wind.

The masked man was shocked and wanted to cover his face with his hands, but it was too late, Chu Yue had already seen his face.

Seeing this, Chu Yue was a little surprised, this seemingly vicious and vicious person who wanted to kill him turned out to be the most gentle and gentle elder brother Yu in the usual training.

Because he looks a little fat and looks very festive, and he is always kind, Chu Yue's impression of him is not bad at all.I didn't expect No Man's Place to look like this.

The normally friendly round face now looked very sinister, with fierce eyes staring at Chu Yue with resentment.

Chu Yue nodded, "So it's Senior Brother Changyu."

"Humph."

Changyu's face turned pale and then black, showing various splendors.He thought no way, since his identity had been exposed, he must kill Chu Yue tonight, otherwise there was no guarantee that the other party would not retaliate.It has been this principle since ancient times to become a king and lose a bandit, not to mention that Guigu has always followed this rule, the only blame is that his skills are not as good as others!

As soon as the idea came together, Changyu's moves changed accordingly. If he had left some leeway for escape just now, now he is ready to fight to the death. Chest, abdomen and other places that can cause death.

The poisonous needles were sprinkled without hesitation, thinking that no matter how exquisite your martial arts are, you can't stop the poisonous needles all over the sky, thinking about the Tangmen's rainstorm pear blossom needle, isn't that the reason?

As long as Chu Yue was hit by even a single poisonous needle, his whole body would be paralyzed, and he would die of shock over time. Wouldn't he be allowed to do whatever he wanted?

Thinking of this, Changyu laughed even more horribly. He watched Chu Yue besieged by countless poisonous needles as thin as hair, and watched Chu Yue wielding his long sword, trying to build a barrier to knock down those poisonous things. He was extremely proud.

The shadow guard chosen by the young master himself?But that's all.Why do they have to live such a life of fear, worrying about the conspiracy from the same sect every day, even if they leave the teacher in the future, the night they do is a job that they will not be able to return to at any time.

And this kind of person, as long as he follows his master all day long, he may not have a time to do it for ten days and a half months.

Changyu's heart moved, and a small porcelain bottle secretly slipped out of his hand, which contained Huagu powder, which was originally used to destroy corpses and traces - but it is also useful for living people.

Chu Yue may have avoided the poisonous needle, but he had nowhere to hide when the Bone Bone Powder was sprinkled, and as long as he judged the direction of the wind and stood at a high place, he would naturally be unable to be the fish in the pond that was hit by disaster.

At that time, watching Chu Yue roll and beg for mercy until there is nothing left, and he can also feed the flowers and plants in the valley, and he will lose one opponent. It is really a lucrative job.

Determined to pay attention, he pinched the bottle with three fingers, and just about to open it, suddenly there was a strange coolness behind him, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, as if something dangerous was approaching, right behind him!

Changyu's face changed drastically. He was sure that he felt a murderous aura that did not belong to Chu Yue, and he couldn't help but want to turn around to look.

Suddenly his body felt cold, and when he turned around, Chu Yue was already standing in front of him coldly, Chang Yu opened his mouth, feeling extremely unwilling in his heart.

how come?It is impossible for him to die here so early. He is obviously the elder brother. What is the killing intent just now...

Before he had time to finish thinking about the last question in his life, Changyu died of exhaustion. The dying man stared straight at the night sky of Guigu with his eyes wide open.

Near dawn, in the sky, Gu Xuanxing was silent and wordless, guiding the way of the dead.

As soon as Changyu died, the bottle of Huagusan rolled out and stood quietly in the grass.Chu Yue took a look at it, not knowing what it was, but seeing Changyu's posture of trying to take it out just now,Obviously not a good thing.

After thinking about it, Chu Yue left without touching it.

There was silence in the grass for a long time, suddenly a dormant figure stood up slowly, picked up the bottle of Huagu powder, pulled out the stopper and sprinkled some on Changyu's body, watched him quickly disappear into nothingness, and then fell silent to leave.
