Will a person appear out of thin air?

The answer, of course, is no, but Ma Tong did appear on the Songhua River out of thin air.

At that time, Liu Mouzheng was only working as a fisherman on the boat owner's fishing boat, but he didn't work for a long time, and after the river froze in winter, he had to find another way to make a living.

That winter, Liu Mouzheng decided to go to the river to open an ice cave to fish to make a living, but who knew that after he struggled to dig an ice hole in the ice, he saw a horse boy floating from the water under the ice.

Liu Mou was frightened at the time, because Ma Tong was naked at that time and did not wear a single garment, but strangely, there was no trace of being frozen.

Liu Mouzheng was curious, so he simply fished the horse boy out of the ice hole, and found that there was still breathing and heartbeat.

In any case, saving someone's life is also a virtue, and Liu Mouzheng carried Ma Tong back to his broken house by the river.

When He Chenxue said this, she lit another cigarette: "When Mouzheng found Ma Tong, Ma Tong probably looked about twenty-four or five years old, right?" ”

"What?" Tang Qianlin was surprised, "How many years ago was that?" Now Liu Mouzheng looks like he is only about forty years old, and you said before that when you first met Liu Mouzheng, Ma Tong was already over half a hundred years old. ”

He Chenxue said calmly: "When I met Mouzheng, it was less than three years after Mouzheng rescued Ma Tong from the ice cave of the Songhua River. ”

Tang Qianlin was completely stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He Chenxue handed him the cigarette: "When Mouzheng told me about this, I reacted the same as you, come, take a puff, calm down, you will be better." ”

Tang Qianlin took the cigarette, took a deep breath, felt a little confused, he leaned against the wall behind him, slowed down, and asked, "Are you sure that Liu Mouzheng didn't lie to you?" ”

He Chenxue said: "Why did he lie to me? It doesn't make any sense. In just two years, Ma Tong has changed from a young man of twenty-four or five years old to an old man of more than half a hundred years old. ”

Tang Qianlin still had questions: "Then if he founded the Eight Phases Gate, no one will doubt it?" ”

"The name Ma Tong was given to him by Mouzheng, originally he had no name or surname, and he didn't even know who he was. And Ma Tong used to exist, he was a Manchurian, and his family was once prominent, but then it was dilapidated. He Chenxue lit another cigarette herself, "The person Mouzheng met on the dock in his early years, and later because he smoked a lot, the man owed a lot of debts, and was forced to leave Harbin in order to avoid debts, so Mouzheng simply gave his identity to the person he pulled out of the ice cave and turned him into a horse boy." ”

The reason why Liu Mouzheng gave this unknown person the identity of Ma Tong is that he thinks that this Ma Tong can make himself rich, because Ma Tong's mind is really good, and when he accidentally played Pai Gow at home, he found that Ma Tong quickly learned not to speak, and won him every time.

Then, Liu Mouzheng tried mahjong, poker, dice, etc., and Ma Tong got started quickly, and almost never lost, even if he lost, it was just to make Liu Mouzheng happy.

So, Liu Mouzheng took Ma Tong to the casino, wanting to try whether it would work, who knew that Ma Tong's bet immediately became famous overnight in the underground world of Harbin at that time.

He Chenxue continued: "In the past, the creditor of the horse boy heard the news and wanted to collect the debt, and when they met, the creditor found that this horse boy was not the horse boy they were looking for, but because Liu Mouzheng had already used his identity, and the creditor was eager to collect debts, he couldn't manage so much, and it was also that night that Liu Mouzheng saw the horse boy's skills for the first time. ”

At that time, Liu Mou was rolling on the ground by the creditor's thugs, and Ma Tong stood by and watched blankly, smiling from time to time, as if he thought it was funny.

"Help!" Liu Mouzheng, who was beaten with his head in his arms, shouted, "Help!" ”

Help? Ma Tong didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word, and still stood there dumbfounded.

Finally, Liu Mouzheng, who couldn't stand the beating, shouted: "Kill them!" Damn! Kill them! ”

When the word "kill" came out, Ma Tong's face changed, and he immediately rushed to the creditor, raised his fist and punched him in the face.

The rest of the thugs were stunned, and no longer besieged Liu Mouzheng, but pounced on Ma Tong together.

By the time Liu Mou was struggling to get up from the ground, the room was already quiet, there was no moaning or screaming, and only Ma Tong was still standing there with blood on his hands and his expression still dull.

Liu Mouzheng looked at the corpses everywhere, and then at Ma Tong, and couldn't believe that he did this.

Recalling this, He Chenxue took a deep breath, drank all the tea in the cup, and then said: "After that, they established the Eight Phases Sect, and slowly grew from a small sect. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at He Chenxue and asked a key question: "Who came up with the name Baxiangmen?" ”

He Chenxue said: "This is also a strange thing among strange things, the name Baxiangmen was thought of by Ma Tong himself, how can I say it?" Ma Tong has different changes every day, getting smarter day by day, but even so, he doesn't seem to be able to do many things, such as dressing and eating, just like a talented and smart child, but he doesn't know how to live a normal life. ”

Tang Qianlin sat there thinking about it and thought for a long time: "Why did you trick Master Zhong to the northeast and help you kill Ma Tong, not just to help Liu Mouzheng ascend to the throne?" ”

He Chenxue shook her head: "After the establishment of the Eight Phases Gate, many things have happened, and I will take a look at it......

In the year of the establishment of Baxiangmen, Zhang Zuolin's special train was bombed in Huanggutun and then died. A few years later, the September 18 Incident broke out, and the Japanese Kwantung Army began a long-planned operation to occupy the entire territory of Northeast China, and anti-Japanese sentiment rose in various parts of Northeast China.

At this time, the anti-Japanese forces approached the Baxiangmen, which was gradually growing in power at that time, hoping to use the power of the Baxiangmen, the most famous of which was General Ma, the military commander of the Northeast Army in Heilongjiang at that time.

But at the same time, there were also those Manchu remnants who came to the door, they were close to Ma Tong, and even turned out the family tree to say that Ma Tong was Manchu and should think about the interests of the Manchus.

Tang Qianlin frowned and said, "Then you chose to be a traitor?" ”

"Although Ma Tong didn't feel anything about these things, Ma Tong was very interested in what someone who came to visit him at that time said, this person was called Ma Yanqing, and everyone called him Ma Wangye." When He Chenxue said this, Tang Qianlin also became interested, this mysterious Ma Wang Ye had something to do with this series of things.

Ma Yanqing found Ma Tong, in the name of his family, hoping that Ma Tong could help him and help him find the holy place of the Manchurians, that is, the Shaman Spirit Palace.

He Chenxue said again: "That's when I knew about the Shaman Spirit Palace. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "As far as I know, the rumors outside are that at the beginning, Ma Tong, like General Ma, was forced to pretend to cooperate with the Japanese due to the situation, and later when General Ma left Harbin and went to Qiqihar to re-raise the banner of resistance against Japan, the Japanese were not worried about Ma Tong, so they instigated Liu Mouzheng to kill him?" ”

"The rumors are true and false, what the people have heard is only the surface, in fact, it was decided by me and Mouzheng to kill Ma Tong, and the Japanese really don't worry about him, so we simply push the boat down the river, because Ma Tong has to die, he doesn't die, and many things will be exposed." When He Chenxue said this, his hands trembling with his cigarette, "I said before that Ma Tong has changed from a young man in his twenties to an old man over half a hundred years old in two years. ”

Tang Qianlin immediately said: "Yes, this is also where I am confused, and then what?" Does he continue to get older? ”

He Chenxue said: "It should have been like this, but the reason why he didn't get old is that he began to eat raw animals and eat them every day, this behavior made him stop aging, and even showed signs of rejuvenation......

One night not long after Ma Yanqing came to the door, Ma Tong called Liu Mouzheng late at night and told him that he was very hungry, very hungry.

Liu Mouzheng hurriedly got up and rushed to the place agreed with Ma Tong, which was a slaughterhouse specializing in sheep slaughter, and it was also the place where Liu Mouzheng was looking for Ma Tong's food, where Ma Tong ate almost all the animals that Liu Mouzheng could find.

That night, He Chenxue also felt uneasy, and insisted on going with Liu Mouzheng, but Liu Mouzheng couldn't resist He Chenxue, so he had to take her.

When the two drove to the slaughterhouse in the dark, they saw another horrific scene - Ma Tong squatting in the open space of the slaughterhouse, biting a man who was still struggling.

Liu Mouzheng recognized the man as the owner of this slaughterhouse, and was bribed by him with a lot of money, pretending to continue to run the place, but in fact he was just a poor ghost for pretending.

Liu Mouzheng and He Chenxue stood there, looking at the scene in front of them in amazement.

After a long time, Ma Tong turned his head, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and grinned at Liu Mouzheng with a look of satisfaction.

Just as Liu Mou was about to say something, Ma Tong pounced like a wild beast, biting the chest of the man in front of him, and turned into a bloodthirsty beast.

He Chenxue recalled this, her face full of fear: "Since that night, Ma Tong has become interested in people, and he no longer eats cattle, sheep and horses. At first, Mou Zheng tried to stop him, until he saw the murderous intent and desire in Ma Tong's eyes, and he knew that if he didn't help Ma Tong find a living person to come back, then he would become Ma Tong's food. ”

Forced into desperation, Liu Mouzheng began to look everywhere for beggars and homeless people who had no relatives, no worries, disappeared and no one to look for. But Ma Tong doesn't have a big appetite, he only eats a part of it every time, and the rest has to be handed over to Liu Mouzheng to dispose of, and he wants a living person the next day.

In this way, more and more people disappeared, and under the pressure of the people, the police finally began to set up a special task force to investigate the serial missing persons.

Yoo Mou-jeong suffers from insomnia almost every night, waking up from nightmares even when he does, holding his head and saying words like "zombie" and "monster" in pain.

He Chenxue snuffed out the cigarette butt: "I thought about looking for you at the time, so I went back to the gate to look for you, but I didn't expect people to go to the empty house, you and Zicheng had already left, and coincidentally, I met Zhong Jizhuang, who also came to find you." ”
