Tang Qianlin also once doubted the identity of Zhong Jizhuang's coffin opener, because he was not the same as other coffin openers, he almost lived alone, and he didn't take over the work of opening the coffin, he studied the connection between the coffin and the corpse all day long, studied what kind of coffin could ensure that the corpse would not rot permanently, and also tried to find the legendary soul coffin.

However, the friendship eventually overshadowed the suspicion, after all, he did not cause any harm to Tang Qianlin.

Is he really a lone man?

Tang Qianlin thought of Xia Shuang, and thought of Yang Shiwen hidden in the sewing of thousands of corpses, this organization was too terrifying, it was simply pervasive.

Wait, has the hunt been infiltrated by a lone army a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Tang Qianlin had a creepy feeling.

Tang Qianlin finally chose to compromise: "You say, I'll listen to it as a story, you start from the beginning, and I really want to know why you left me." ”

He Chenxue was silent for a long time: "I don't like a man who has no interest, your wife and children are your life, you have the title of Capture Qianlin at a young age, and you just gave up?" Just give up for a woman like me? ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Is this the reason?" ”

He Chenxue didn't answer yes or no, but said: "After I left you, I came to the Northeast and met Liu Mouzheng at an old post station, at that time he was only a military advisor of Baxiangmen......

He Chenxue remembered very well that it was a rainy night, and she was worried that her horse would be frightened, so she went to the stable to check, who knew that as soon as she arrived at the stable, she smelled a strong smell of blood, and then dragged her into the darkness with both hands.

He Chenxue was struggling, and saw Liu Mouzheng's face clearly with lightning, which was a face without malice, but full of worry.

"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound, I'm not a bad person." Liu Mouzheng lowered his voice and said eagerly to He Chenxue, "Wait, wait a little longer and you can leave." ”

He Chenxue had to nod, and then he heard the sound of a beast chewing from the stable, and it sounded like it had been hungry for a long time.

The lightning and thunder continued above their heads, and He Chenxue also felt that Liu Mouzheng's hand covering his was full of sweat, and by the light he saw Liu Mouzheng's face covered with sweat, looking nervously in the direction of the stable.

After a long time, there was a sound of people burping in the stable, and He Chenxue was shocked when she heard this sound, and at this moment, Liu Mou was stuffing her into the haystack next to her, and signaled her not to speak.

Then, Liu Mou was standing there, looking outside, and He Chenxue, who was hiding in the haystack, also clearly saw the man who was over half a hundred years old standing in the rainstorm from the cracks in the dry grass.

The man's mouth and chest were covered with blood, and he stood there as if he wanted to wash it off with a torrential rain.

Liu Mouzheng stood there, looked at the man, and waited for the man to nod and say, "I'm full." ”

Liu Mouzheng immediately said, "You change your clothes first." ”

Liu Mou was picking up the clean clothes he had prepared, waiting for the man to approach, helping him undress and change his clothes, just like he was tending to a child who had not yet learned to dress.

After getting dressed, the man said, "I'm sleepy." ”

Liu Mouzheng said in a low voice: "You go back to the room to rest first, and I'll clean up." ”

The man said, "You come back early, I can't sleep without you." ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "I know." ”

Recalling this, He Chenxue lit another cigarette: "That middle-aged man is Ma Tong, the first generation master of Baxiangmen. ”

Tang Qianlin was numb when he heard this: "It sounds like the relationship between Ma Tong and Liu Mouzheng is ......?"

"No, it's definitely not what you think." He Chenxue shook his head and denied, "Ma Tong just habitually let Liu Mouzheng take care of him, he seems to be sick, no, it should be sick, he ate my horse that night, and he ate a whole horse leg cleanly." ”

Tang Qianlin sat upright and said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

He Chenxue shook his head: "Absolutely not, otherwise how can you explain the bloody horse boy?" ”

After Ma Tong left, Liu Mouzheng dragged He Chenxue out of the haystack: "Go back quickly." ”

He Chenxue nodded, turned around and left, and when she walked to the back door of the post station, she couldn't help but walk back to the stable to check, wondering what had happened before, who knew that after walking over, she saw that her horse had fallen to the ground and died, and the left front horse's leg had been gnawed to pieces, leaving only a bone with a little flesh and blood.

He Chenxue was dumbfounded and stood there dumbfounded.

Liu Mou, who was cleaning up, turned to look at He Chenxue, panicked, and immediately stepped forward: "What are you doing here?" ”

He Chenxue said: "That, that's my horse." ”

Liu Mouzheng took out a gold bar and stuffed it into He Chenxue's hand: "Here you go, it's enough for you to buy a lot of horses, let's go!" Don't get in trouble! ”

He Chenxue took the gold bar and had to turn around and leave.

"That night, I couldn't sleep very late, Liu Mouzheng came and knocked on my door, and when I opened the door, I saw a kind of greed in his eyes." He Chenxue smiled, "I've seen a lot of this kind of greedy eyes, and you also had it when you first saw me, usually men look at me with that kind of eyes, and they want to take it for themselves." ”

Tang Qianlin couldn't deny this, because He Chenxue was indeed very beautiful.

So far in his life, he has been attracted by the beauty of two women, one is He Chenxue, and the other is Ni Xiaowan, but the beauty of the two women is completely different. He Chenxue is the kind of woman who wants to take her for yourself when you see her, and even wants to lock her up, while Ni Xiaowan is the kind of woman who will make you feel distressed and make you want to take care of her.

Because He Chenxue would always respond to the gazes of those men intentionally or unintentionally, she enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by greedy eyes, which gave Tang Qianlin an uncertain and insecure feeling. On the contrary, Ni Xiaowan will not, she doesn't seem to feel anything about all this, just focusing on what she wants to focus on.

Therefore, as a wandering woman, when she met a man like Liu Mouzheng, and that kind of thing happened, she naturally chose to accept Liu Mouzheng's protection.

And this kind of protection for a long time will naturally breed feelings, and a year later, He Chenxue became the military advisor's wife of Baxiangmen.

When Tang Qianlin heard this, he asked, "Do you really love him?" ”

He Chenxue replied without hesitation: "Of course." ”

When Tang Qianlin was about to open his mouth to ask the next question, He Chenxue took a step ahead of him and said, "I really loved you back then, don't doubt it." ”

"Really?" Tang Qianlin smiled bitterly. "I thought that loving someone would last a lifetime."

He Chenxue said with a smile: "Women are more credible when they say this, and men say this kind of thing, except for nymphomaniacs, almost no one believes it, right?" For thousands of years, which man with a little ability is not three wives and four concubines? ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "It's good if you love him." ”

He Chenxue said: "I thought you would ask, whose child is Zicheng." ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I will never have to ask you this question, in my heart, Zicheng is my son!" Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand." He Chenxue replied simply, "Let's stop talking this nonsense, do you want to continue listening?" ”

Tang Qianlin sighed: "Listen, you continue." ”

Before He Chenxue married Liu Mouzheng, Liu Mouzheng never told her half a word about the internal affairs of the Eight Phases Gate, and after returning home, he didn't talk about anything about the owner of the door, Ma Tong, and didn't even mention his name.

But on the night of getting married, Liu Mouzheng finally told He Chenxue the truth, and he was already on the verge of collapse.

That night, He Chenxue realized that what he saw in the old post station a year ago was not a misunderstanding, and it was indeed the horse boy who killed his horse and gnawed off one of the horse's front legs alive.

"Mou Zheng said that Ma Tong usually eats and drinks in front of his disciples, but he is just making a show, and he is about to vomit when he turns around, and he eats in a secluded place at night when no one is around, and what he eats is a live animal, which must be alive and slaughtered by him himself." He Chenxue said this, her face was full of confusion, "These things are handled by Mou Zheng himself, and he never lets people handle them, which is why Mou Zheng can become a military advisor." ”

Tang Qianlin heard the words and asked: "What is so special about Ma Tong that he can establish the Eight Phases Gate?" What does the eight-phase gate mean? ”

"The eight phases in the Eight Phases Gate are taken from the meaning of the eight phases of enlightenment in Buddhism, that is, the phase of descending to the rate of descent, the phase of rebirth, the phase of rebirth, the phase of subjugation of demons, the phase of enlightenment, the phase of Dharma and the phase of Nirvana, which also refers to the eight stages of Shakyamuni's Buddhahood." He Chenxue explained, "This name was chosen by Ma Tong himself, and no one knows why he wants to establish the Baxiangmen, not even Mouzheng, but Ma Tong subdues the public by force." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "He's very capable of fighting?" ”

He Chenxue said: "Yes, once I was going to attend a gathering of a local gang in Jianghu, on the way someone tried to assassinate Ma Tong, they were very clever to set up a bomb on the side of the road, blowing up Ma Tong's car, I saw Ma Tong climb out of the car with my own eyes, and killed those assassins one by one, the other disciples did not help in the whole process, and there was no confusion, as if they were used to it, and knew that their master was fine......

Over the years, Ma Tong has experienced several assassinations, all of which have escaped, and that time, He Chenxue saw with his own eyes that Ma Tong was shot three times and still standing, even the killer who shot was stunned, and was torn off his neck by Ma Tong in a panic.

Tang Qianlin hurriedly asked, "What kind of kung fu did Ma Tong use?" ”

After asking this sentence, Tang Qianlin regretted it, because He Chenxue didn't know much kung fu at all.

And He Chenxue replied: "I asked Mouzheng, and he said that Ma Tong's kung fu doesn't know what sect it is, it doesn't seem to have a fixed routine, but the shots are all killing moves, and they can't be contained, so the disciples of the Eight Phases Gate are very afraid of him, and they are always cautious in front of him." ”

Tang Qianlin sat there and thought for a long time: "There is no such kung fu on the rivers and lakes, there is no routine at all, this is unusual, even the destroyed killer organization Feng Manlou does not have this kind of person." Do you know where Ma Tong came from? With such a good skill as him, it can't come out of nowhere, right? ”

He Chenxue walked to the door and listened, then went to the window to check again, and then returned to Tang Qianlin: "What I want to tell you now, only me and Mouzheng know in this world, and you are the third to know." ”

Tang Qianlin saw that He Chenxue was so nervous, and asked, "You shouldn't tell me that Ma Tong fell from the sky, right?" ”

He Chenxue said with a straight face: "He did appear out of thin air. ”
