Chapter 41: Prelude to the Trial

Because of the snow two days ago, the mist forest is now hazy, like a fairyland. Beiming and the twelve ghost guards have been prepared and are waiting for Gu Qingyan's final instructions in front of the forest. Seeing Gu Qingyan coming today in plain military uniform, wearing a silver mask, tied up her long hair, and showing off her heroic appearance.

“All ready?”

"yes."

"As planned, go into the woods."

Gu Qingyan didn't say much, and after a few words, everyone went into the Youwu Forest one after another. Gu Qingyan and Beiming went in after matting, Beiming released moths that were conscious of the marks. Gu Qingyan and Beiming followed the small animals in two directions separately.

Although they were familiar with the Youwu Forest, the forest was not small, and no one could find out the four people hiding there quickly, so they followed the moth and took some time. The two originally planned to solve the four people before the trial came in.

The moth flew to one place and suddenly circled up and down in a certain place, as if looking for something. Seeing this, Beiming was following him in the dark, and now he leaned down and looked around.

After a while, I saw some movement beside a gully beneath him. I quietly walked forward. The hidden person was not a vegetarian. I felt a subtle sound approaching him and didn't dare to change it. I just thought that the person who was a trial had come in and sank his breath again. When Beiming got closer and closer, he suddenly jumped up and played a move with Beiming. In this way, Beiming became the first pair of fights in the Wuwu Forest.

Besides, Gu Qingyan also followed the moth to somewhere. She was jumping between the treetops with light skills, but she was afraid that those people would hide in the treetops and turn back and caught them off guard, so she simply fell to the ground, walked calmly on the road, and treated herself as bait.

Now there are people who are fooled. They don’t know that the trial is the beginning of the time, but they just think that the secret guards who have entered the forest are going to be trial. When they see it, they think it’s a woman and think it’s easy to deal with it. Gu Qingyan happened to see the moth wandering around here, and stopped. Before she could check around, she heard a "swoosh" in her ear and a dart went towards her.

Gu Qingyan hid quickly, and saw the dart penetrated straight into the ground. Looking back from the angle, the branches behind her were turbulent, and the person who had just sneaked into her changed places.

Gu Qingyan laughed secretly, playing hidden weapons with her, save energy. She quickly picked up the dart on the ground and threw it away, and asked the person behind her who had just changed the ground to change to another place. After that, Gu Qingyan saw the shadow, whipped the soft whip on her waist and predicted the direction of the shadow, threw it over, and forced the man out and fell to the ground. Both of them started fighting on the ground.

With one move and one move, Gu Qingyan slowly retreated into the distance, and a soft whip tied the man's body, bound the man's movement. He pulled the whip and pinched the man's throat with one hand. Without hesitation, the man died of breath. Gu Qingyan pinched the man's mouth, picked up the silver needle hidden in his wrist guard, and picked out the poison from his mouth, the kind that had not been bitten.

"Hmph." He smiled coldly, carried the dead body and thought about whose area it was nearby, and then he passed by.

The ghost guard saw someone coming from the fog and was about to defend himself. He saw clearly that the person coming was Gu Qingyan, so he hurriedly showed up. When he saw Gu Qingyan dragging a body over, he heard her say, "First find a place to pile it up, and then take it out of the forest after the trial."

"yes."

Although Gu Qingyan killed countless people in her mission, she never cared about killing and not dealing with it. So whenever she had to deal with the corpse, Gu Qingyan could only say to Beiming or the ghost guard: "It's dealt with."

She solved one, and the other was also quick. In the same way, she saw the moth. There was a target in the area of ​​several miles around. Gu Qingyan acted quickly and did not leave a living mouth. After all, it would not be too late to stay after she could not kill her living mouth.

Beiming also had two people, so the master and servant had a tacit understanding. Just one second before the trial came in, the forest was clean.

"Master." Beiming and Gu Qingyan touched their heads.

Gu Qingyan looked at the time and said, "You go out of the forest first."

There is a level in the trial. The trial of the secret guards who came out of Linzi was not over yet. Dongli, Nanke, Western Finals, Beiming and the four men all had a jade pendant on their waists. The secret guards who came out of Linzi had to challenge to obtain the jade pendant from the waists of these four men to be considered to be officially passed, so Beiming must not stay in the mist forest all the time.

After hearing Gu Qingyan's words, Beiming took out a small thing to Gu Qingyan before leaving, looking like a signal flare, and said to Gu Qingyan: "This is found from them, it should be the signal flare they convey messages or gather together. It may be useful for keeping the master."

Gu Qingyan took the thing away and thought that just now she only remembered the possible tricks of these people just in case they committed suicide by taking poison, so why didn't she think of searching for her body?

In this way, Beiming left the Misty Forest first, Gu Qingyan found a good place to hide and waited there.

As for the scene outside the Youwu Forest, Su Tanxue got up early in Jingxinyuan, and heard Guoer say that Su Xin came over to pass the message, let Su Xin enter the room, and listen to her: "Miss Tanxue, my master went to prepare for the trial early in the morning. Let me tell you, you should be interested, I will take you to Youwu Platform for a while."

Su Tanxue thought that he was idle anyway, so he could go and have a look, so he responded to Su Xin and was about to leave Jingxinyuan after he finished washing and changing clothes. Seeing Han Yan coming, he also said: "Tanxue, I'm going to come and ask if you want to go to Youwutai together."

"Yeah, Su Xin is about to take me there." Su Tanxue said.

After saying that, these people walked towards Youwutai together. Soon, everyone who should come to Youwutai came one after another. King Yu sat on the most upright seat. To put it bluntly, he can be regarded as the chief judge today.

The one on the left is Xu Shaolin, but from a general perspective, they can also be in a flat-arranged relationship. The right side opposite Xu Shaolin should be Gu Qingyan, but it is still empty now, and it will be empty during the entire trial.

Because of her special identity, although she is the fourth girl from Taohuajian, her seat is actually above Zong Yue and Baili Mo.

Below, there are Zong Yue and Baili Mo, and then the guest seat. On the left are Han Yan and Su Tanxue, and on the right are Ye Jinliang. Dongli, Nanke and Xijue are all standing in their respective subordinate positions.

These people arrived one after another, but they were not seeing Gu Qingyan and Beiming for a long time. King Yu looked at Xu Shaolin and the others, and when they saw them, they looked at Gu Qingyan's seat from time to time. It seemed that this girl was holding back nothing and didn't tell everyone.

Baili Mo felt that something was wrong today. He looked at Xu Shaolin and saw that he clenched his fists and gently pressed his handrail twice. That was the meaning of "watching" in their code words, so he didn't make any statement. Zong Yue saw it, but it was over, so he could only wait for Gu Qingyan to appear and explain it himself.

In such a vague state, one of them secretly felt that it was not good, that was Ye Jinliang. He was the only person present who knew that Shimen might have sneaked into Buguicheng. Why did he say that it was possible? Because he only heard Zhao Qiyue mention a few words that day. He originally thought that since he had entered Taohuajian to inquire, but he hadn't found anything in the past few days. So he was half unreliable.

He pinched Dot Fufeng and took a group of Shimen disciples to Youwutai: "See King Yu, meet the Valley Master, the Second Master, the Third Master, and the Young Master Han Manor." He bowed one by one, but he didn't mention Ye Jinliang, obviously he didn't take this person seriously. Ye Jinliang was arrogant and had a suffocating fire in his heart, and had not yet sent it out.

"No gifts." said King Yu.

Fu Feng stood up and then said, "According to the order of my master, I will take the disciples of Shimen to watch the trial. The secret guard of the trial has already been in place. Please order the valley master."

After saying that, the disciples of the Shimen who watched the battle stood on both sides, leaving the thirty-seven people who were left behind this trial followed Fufeng. In the past, the orders to start the trial were all issued by Gu Qingyan. Now Gu Qingyan is not here and has told Fufeng that the order was issued by Xu Shaolin, so Fufeng said this.

Another point is that no matter whether the people in the Shimen have any problems, they only recognize Gu Qingyan as their master. In the Shimen, except for the old ghosts who raise animals, they only call Gu Qingyan Master, not the Fourth Girl, but also use normal names to Xu Shaolin and others. In front of Gu Qingyan, they call him Master, but when they mention Gu Qingyan, almost everyone adds the word "my family" in front of the master, and connects it to "my family master".

At first, Xu Shaolin and the others thought it was wrong. Later, they used to it, so they agreed. But in Han Yan's ears, it was strange that a group of big men had to bring Gu Qingyan into the word "my home", and he always felt awkward.

Xu Shaolin took the conversation in front of everyone. Since Gu Qingyan had just said this, he responded to this matter, flicked his sleeves and said, "The trial begins!"

Below, Fu Feng led the secret guards who were trying to get up, and entered the mist forest one after another.

When everyone entered the forest, Dongli also took over the work of Beiming's incense and lit four incense sticks. Outside, everyone could not see the situation in the forest, so they could only chat during this period to relieve their fatigue. Not long after, Beiming appeared in Youwutai. He wanted to quietly, but there was no way. At this time, he couldn't do it, so he had to bite the bullet and salute the people above.

Xu Shaolin was not in a hurry to ask what the situation was. He was saving it, thinking that Gu Qingyan must have nothing good. He had been like nothing wrong a few days before his death, and he didn't realize it was wrong. Gu Qingyan seemed to be lit specifically in the past two days. If Gu Qingyan appeared later, it would be really not a good thing, so he really should be punished.

In the misty forest, Gu Qingyan didn't have much time to care what would happen if he went out. Listening to the sounds gradually in the forest, the sounds of insects and birds gradually became the background sounds. Gu Qingyan knew that the real action had just begun.

The secret guards of the trial entered the Misty Forest, either acting alone or scattered to every corner of the forest. Their mission today is very simple, live and go out healthily.

They knew that trials were the cruelest things in Shimen. No matter how good the leader was at Shimen and everyone, they were cold-blooded secret guards from the moment they entered the Youwu Forest. Anyone who appeared to block them was an opponent. If they didn't show the real facts, they would be death and injury. Anyone who could get out of the forest would be unable to become a secret guard who could enter the palace.

So Gu Qingyan often said to them: "There is no emotion in the mist forest." "Only you die or I die on the real battlefield, there will be too many mercifulness and mercy." (To be continued)
