The person waiting for me outside the back door was the Immortal Swordsman. His face was full of joy. When he saw me, he told me that his adopted son was awake. He still remembered my instructions to come to me immediately when the boy woke up.
I took some supplements and went out and followed him back to the remote courtyard.
The Fairy Swordsman didn't expect that I would bring supplements to the boy. I said that the boy might be related to the serial murders. If he gets well soon, it might be of great help to me.
The Fairy Swordsman was grateful for my life-saving grace and said that they and his son would fully cooperate with my investigation.
The young man's eyes were bright and his complexion was much better than yesterday.
He wanted to get out of bed and salute me, but I waved my hand to stop him and told him to continue lying down. I didn't care about these etiquettes, I just wanted to know how he got poisoned.
It was still early today and we had a lot of time to talk. I told him not to rush and to speak slowly.
The young man first reported his name. His surname was Cheng Mingfei. He was an orphan since he was a child. He was kidnapped by masked bad guys when he was a child and wanted to send him to the Skeleton Palace.
The Skeleton Hall is an evil sect in the world. The sect is located in a mountain with piles of skeletons, and the bones stretch for thousands of miles, hence the name White Bone Mountain.
There is a sea of bones at the foot of the Bone Mountain. The bones everywhere are like a sea of bones. Regardless of whether they are human bones or animal bones, the sight of the dense white bones is terrifying.
Therefore, people in the world regard that place as a dangerous place and never want to go near it.
The White Bone Mountain is shrouded in white mist all year round. The mist is highly poisonous. No matter whether it is a person or an animal, as long as it walks into the fog, it will turn into a skeleton in a moment.
There is only a small path hidden in the fog that people can pass through. It is like a safe passage. People walking on this path will not be chewed into bones by the white fog.
The Skeleton Palace on Bone Mountain is even more mysterious. This building will disappear during the day and will appear when night falls.
It's magic and opportunity. No one knows it yet, and some people believe that the people living there are not human beings.
I think that since it is a sect in the world, it must be a human being and not a ghost.
But those who enter the Skeleton Hall will become neither humans nor ghosts, and their lives will be worse than death.
The masked bad guy wanted to send Cheng Fei there as a child. He was really vicious and seemed to have a big grudge.
Fortunately, Cheng Jiji was smart and called for help on the way, and was rescued by the head of the Dengtian Sect, who later took him back to the sect and accepted him as a closed disciple.
Cheng Fei was only six years old at the time. His parents were gone and his family was separated. He regarded the master as his relative and Dengtianmen as his home.
However, just half a year after he started, the leader died suddenly.
Everyone in the Dengtian Sect regarded him as a broom star, saying that he had defeated the leader to death.
The leader is the pillar of a sect, but the pillar suddenly collapsed, and the entire Dengtian Sect was crumbling.
After the death of the leader, everything in Dengtian Clan was not going well, and the people in the sect were having a hard time, so they took out their grievances on Cheng Fei.
Some say that Cheng Fei belongs to the Mangmen Star, and some say that the leader saved White Eyed Wolf. Conspiracy theorists believe that Cheng Fei must have an enemy who follows him and lurks near the Dengtianmen.
His enemies assassinated the leader and set up a conspiracy against the Dengtian Sect, which made the entire sect restless. There were always people bullying them overtly and covertly.
They kicked Cheng Fei out of the dormitory where his disciples lived and asked him to move to a pig pen. Other disciples would come and beat him with stones every day and did not give him food, so he could only compete with the pigs for food.
He stayed in Dengtianmen for a year. He really couldn't bear the abuse and wanted to escape. However, the night before his escape, a dramatic change occurred in the Dengtianmen.
Someone sneaked into the sect at night, killed everyone, and took away the bodies.
He slept with the pigs in a pigsty for warmth and thus escaped death.
It's not that he didn't hear the noise, but he didn't dare to go out.
"Those people were so terrifying. They killed without making a sound. The... people in the door didn't make a sound or bleed when they died." Cheng Fei still has lingering fears when he recalls that night.
One of the disciples ran towards the backyard, probably trying to hide, but the man in black caught up behind him, and the disciple died not far from the pig pen.
Cheng Fei was with the pig, and he was already covered in mud and smelly, so the man in black didn't notice him.
He didn't dare to scream or move. He watched the man in black pick up the body and fly it away from the courtyard wall using Qinggong.
He didn't dare to close his eyes again all night, staring until dawn, he let the pigs out of the pigsty, released all the poultry, and fled down the mountain himself.
The empty Dengtianmen was classified as "unknown" by the Wulin Alliance.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew about this. After the death of the leader, the Dengtian Sect was squeezed and bullied by other surrounding sects. Everyone thought that they couldn't stand the squeeze, and no one in the sect could take over the leader's position, so they broke up at night. .
In fact, except for the leader of the Dengtian Sect, everyone else's martial arts skills are mediocre, and they can't find a good person to practice martial arts.
Although their sect has problems, it is precisely because of their problems that they know that they are not strong enough, so they always keep a low profile in the world, never dare to make enemies with others, and live very cautiously.
Their leader was able to save Cheng Fei despite injustice, which shows that he was kind-hearted. Who would destroy the sect he worked so hard to build after his death?
I think there is some truth to the conspiracy theory. Dengtianmen has no enemies, and the only person they have ever offended may be the masked bad guy who wants to kill Cheng Fei.
Moreover, the murderer's method of killing was strange, unlike ordinary fights between sects seeking revenge.
At least the people from the few sects around Dengtianmen don’t have this method.
Because of the abuse he suffered, Cheng Fei never told anyone what he saw. He wanted those people to disappear, but he didn't expect them to really disappear. He was not happy at all.
He became a rootless duckweed again, living on the streets and becoming a beggar.
After two years of begging for food on the street, a kindhearted man took him home and worked as a servant.
A kind person discovered that he was peeping at the martial arts practice in the nursing home at home, and asked him if he wanted to learn. He said that he wanted to learn, and the kind person sent him to Shenzheng Hall to learn martial arts.
While he was studying in Shenzhengtang, bad news came again in the mansion. The kind-hearted Mr. Lu died suddenly. The Lu family's property was confiscated by relatives. Mr. Lu's only son drowned in the garden pond.
Everyone can see that Mr. Lu died strangely, but no one complained. Mr. Lu's mother had died early, and a group of uncles believed that he had accidentally drowned due to a slip.
When Cheng Fei heard the news, he wanted to go to the Yamen to file a complaint, but as an eight or nine-year-old child, his "speculations" were ignored and he was beaten up and thrown out of the Yamen.
His senior fellow apprentices persuaded him, saying that the yamen master must have taken money from the Lu family's pack of jackals and would not care about it, and told him not to pursue it any further, lest he lose his life.
Both of his benefactors died in mysterious circumstances, suddenly and violently, and he gradually began to believe that he was the Sangmen Star.
His upright master and fellow apprentices were very kind to him, but he was afraid of complicating them and causing them to die miserably, so he left there secretly.
While he was wandering around and working as a beggar, he was fine.
As long as someone saves him and treats him well, he is guaranteed to die a violent death.
Are there such people in the world who are truly "sangmen"?
I don't believe it. It's probably someone behind the scenes.
