Death Sutra

Gu Shen was riding on a small mound on the edge of the village and looking in the direction of the desert. Behind him, the ten teams formed a single, slowly walked out of Shuangquan Village and began the first day of the journey to Shiguo.

A small group of children in the village quarreled around, ran around, and suddenly yelled at the sky: "Eagle! Eagle! Eagle!"

A black eagle circling in the air, losing balance, seems to fall to the ground at any time.

"It hurts." A child said.

"No, it is entangled in snakes." An old man said that he is the most experienced guide in the village, responsible for leading this huge team through the desert.

The children looked up and looked up together. Sure enough, there was a flower snake in the mouth of the black eagle, and the snake refused to wait for it, tightly wrapped around the eagle.

If you win or lose, you can see who can hold on for a little longer.

"Not a good sign." The old guide said to himself, "This season, you should not take this road."

"There is no good or bad sign. Some people's bad signs are good for others." Gu Shenwei also looked at the Eagle Snake.

The old guide was shocked and said: "The Dragon King said that I hope that this is a good sign on our side."

The black eagle flew away with a flower snake, no one knew the end result.

At the forefront is Jinpengbao's pleading team, Gu Shenwei did not see Shangguanru's figure, thinking that she is probably easy to accommodate.

The team of the Central Plains envoy was close behind, and the special envoy greeted the Dragon King very affectionately. Zhong Heng just nodded and did not speak.

After several caravans, there were four monks of Sanghalan, twelve people, all walking, each carrying a large parcel. They came to Shuangquan Village with the team of Jinpengbao, but did not form a team with them.

There is an old man who is skinny and spirited, but his spirit is extremely embarrassing. He walks and carries his parcel. Gu Shen got the news that his legal name is Fa Yan, perhaps coincidentally, perhaps intentionally, he is Lianhua and others. Master.

The monks turned a blind eye to the Dragon King. Only the old man was deferred. Although he had never officially met with him, he nodded to him.

More than 30 people in Daxueshan ranked last, and Lin Shan led the team.

The woman finally came out of the village and rode to Gu Shenwei. "The six caravans are all hidden from unknown sources, but there is no Jinpeng killer."

"The one-step king will not use the power of Jinpengbao, and he does not want to bear the crime of destroying the armistice agreement."

"We don't have enough people."

More than 30 people, only three masters, are not powerful in any place.

"So you can only preempt."

The lotus girl smiled. This is her idea. She even thought about her first goal. "The smaller caravan, only fifteen people, seems to be anxious than others."

Gu Shenwei also noticed that those people, although wearing the merchant's robes, riding postures, face expressions, hard and strong hands, proved that they are not ordinary people, "tonight," he said.

The winter nights of the desert are quiet and cold, and the ten teams together form a huge camp, occupying everywhere, and the Jinpengbao family accounts for almost half.

Gu Shenwei and the Dutch woman sneaked out of the tent at the time of the third. At the northeast corner of the camp, Guanshang had observed half a night and nodded at the two people, indicating that everything was normal and there was no trap.

Guan Shang returned to his account, and she is not needed here.

The caravan has a total of three tents, and the five people share a single account. The plan of the two killers is to use the drug first, then touch it in and cut off the head.

The two did not start immediately, but observed for a while. This is a habit. It turns out that this habit is good.

Fourteen people sneaked out from the three tents, all covering their faces, nodding each other, two or three groups, sneaking to the southeast corner of the camp.

They even want to start tonight, the southeast corner is the camp of Daxueshan.

Gu Shenwei and the Dutch woman looked at each other and understood the other side's thoughts. They took a circle and copied them to the southeast corner in advance. They planned to kill them one by one when the enemy retreated.

What surprised the two was that the target of the fourteen masked men was not a big snowy mountain, but a four-sangha sacred monk who was not far apart.

Twelve monks have only two tents. They meditate all night and do not need too much space.

The masked man left two accomplices outside each tent to look at the wind. Others swarmed in. This is a skillless assassination method. It is very effective against ordinary people. In the face of twelve martial arts high-powered monks, there is no Different from the egg to hit the stone.

The battle lasted only for a short time, and the masked man was defeated, rushing out of the tent and running away.

The people in the surrounding tents were awakened and ran out. The camp was in a state of chaos, which provided a better cover for the masked people.

The middle-aged monk Lian Qing appeared, and Lang said: "A group of small people, intentions are not in the right track, have been repelled, no casualties, you do not have to worry."

When a storm has not yet formed, it is over. Everyone knows that this is a deserted desert, and there is a flag of Jinpengbao erected. There will be no external robbers. The attacking monk must be a person in the ranks, but the monk does not want to pursue it. Others naturally don’t want to ask for trouble.

At the beginning of the battle in the monk's tent, Gu Shenwei and the Dutch woman retreated to the northeast corner of the camp to continue to lurk. After about half an hour, the masked people who fled back and forth, and gathered in the account to whisper.

"I didn't expect the monk to be so powerful."

"What should I do? It is better to withdraw it, just one day."

"Can we collect the money, we can't get anything, and how to give it back."

"Let's wait, we are too anxious. There isn't a group in this camp to provoke, Jinpengbao, Longwang, Monk, Zhuang Qiang, etc. He waited for each other to move, and we waited for the opportunity to pick it up."

"Right, this is good, don't do it."

......

Gu Shenwei and the Dutch women gave up the murder plan, returned to their tents, and the customs brokers were there, whispering the situation. "There were two groups of people who came to peep in the middle of the night, probably found no one in the account and then withdrew."

Gu Shenwei said: "I know who Jinpengbao is looking for to kill me. That Zhuang Qiang, there is a younger brother named Zhuang Heng, who was killed by me."

"Guarding the Law of the Gods" Zhuang Heng is the leader of a small band of robbers who died in Gu Shen as a sword more than two years ago.

Zhuang Qiang is the leader of another band of robbers. After his brother died, he once publicly declared that he wanted to kill the murderer Yang Huan, but he never showed up. After Gu Shen became the Dragon King of Daxue, he could not hear his news.

"Zhuang Qiang is not a great character. The knife is not as good as his brother." The lotus girl is a member of Xiaoyuetang, and she knows a lot about famous people in the Western Region.

"So he will wait until today, after getting support from behind, dare to find revenge."

Both of them are more interested in Zhuang Qiang. As for the entanglement between the masked and the monks, they are not in the heart.

The next morning, the team continued to march. Lin Shan was ordered to listen to the news in the team. He recognized several of the swordsmen and could speak up, but after a whole day, he did not find Zhuang Qiang’s trace.

On the evening of the same day, Shangguan Hong went to the door to ask for it.

Shangguanhong is running errands for the nine young masters. He hates this task, but there is no room for resistance. "The nine lords want to know the meaning of the dragon king, and the transaction he proposed is still valid."

"Tell him, I am still thinking."

"There is not much time left. This is what the nine masters said. It is not me. When I arrive at Shiguo, there is not much choice for the Dragon King."

"I know." Gu Shenwei still refused to give a clear answer.

Shangguanhong completed his task and relieved his breath. He looked at the Dragon King and said, "To tell the truth, I thank you very much. I told you the most important secrets. You have been keeping your mouth shut, even Mrs. Meng forced the tightest. I didn’t let go of my mouth, it really saved my life."

"My mouth has always been very strict."

"Yes, and speak count, Dragon King, tell me, do you really want to kill the official people... including me."

"As long as the discussion is still valid, I will not kill the people of Jinpengbao."

"Yes, everyone knows in mind that the so-called peace talks are a blind man. The king agrees to negotiate and wants to give a good impression to the countries of the Western Regions, so that the nine young masters can successfully reach the princess, and the dragon king proposes peace, and he wants to accumulate strength. Initiating a Jedi counterattack, I am right."

"If you know, why bother to ask."

"But I don't believe that you really want to kill everyone on the official. I know that for some people, you can't get it." Shangguan Hong showed a tacit smile. "I hope that I am also a person who the Dragon King does not want to start." One."

"What happened in the stone fort, let the sons of the One Step King robbed the betrayal?"

"Nothing happened, everything has not changed." Shangguanhong looked very angry. "I am still me, except for the name of the 'business', Zhang Zhang worked hard for more than three years, and did not carry me up. To be honest I am tired of it, especially the old woman. She treats me as a slave, calls and drinks, and forces me to serve her son."

Shangguanhong sighed long. "I don't even have the chance to be loyal. What can I say about betrayal? I just want to... find a way out."

"I always have a way for you here." Gu Shen's tone is dull and gentle, like the king talking to a fugitive fugitive.

Shangguan Honglu is very happy. "I am also willing to do things for the Dragon King. As a sign, I am willing to provide an intelligence first. The nine young masters intend to block the Dragon King in the desert. The time is not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow."

Shangguan Hong retired, Gu Shen was suspicious in his heart.

Shangguanfei and Shangguanhong, the two sons of the one-step king, who are heavily guarded by the side, are afraid of dying for the dragon king. It seems that they have been assassinated in this trip, and they have been summed up in the low and the fourth, almost to the point of contempt, some in the middle. Things are not right.

Gu Shenwei never intended to use assassination in the process of competing for the princess. The facts are in front of him. He cannot actively destroy the armistice agreement.

The fear of the two children of Shangguan’s family is therefore even more unreasonable.

The information that Shang Guanhong finally revealed was useful. The next morning, Daxueshan and his party were indeed blocked.
