Chapter 42
Cheng Fei's story is very long. I sat at the table and the Fairy Swordsman made me a pot of tea. Cheng Fei lay down and spoke in a low voice.
The second time he worked as a beggar, he met an old beggar who was very cruel to him, hitting and scolding him.
The old beggar had a weird temper. He lived in a dilapidated temple with him and always bullied him.
But the old beggar would teach him martial arts secretly, without knowing it, and teaching him in a roundabout way.
He also learned and practiced secretly, not daring to show his skills in front of others.
After a few years, the old beggar died of a serious illness. He followed a caravan and left the city where he had lived for several years, wanting to start over somewhere else.
It didn't take long for him to meet the Immortal Swordsman. The Immortal Swordsman felt that the young man looked familiar as soon as he saw him, because his eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were very similar to his father's.
The Fairy Swordsman quickly confirmed through the birthmark behind Cheng Fei's ear that he was the son of his best friend.
At first, the Fairy Swordsman wanted to adopt Cheng Fei as his adopted son, but Cheng Fei refused to agree. Only after learning what he had gone through did he realize that Cheng Fei was afraid of harming himself.
The Immortal Swordsman claims to be an overseas immortal. He has immortal energy to protect his body and will never die suddenly.
He showed his indestructible body to Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei was shocked and believed his words.
Only then were they willing to recognize him as their adoptive father. They came to Yuancheng to investigate the murder of Cheng Fei's parents.
The killer of Cheng Fei's parents has never been found by the Immortal Swordsman.
The identity of the masked bad guy who kidnapped Cheng Fei in advance is unknown.
The Immortal Swordsman and I have the same idea. Cheng Fei is not the Sangmen Star at all. The head of the Dengtian Clan and later Mr. Lu may have been assassinated.
The person who harmed them was most likely the masked bad guy who kidnapped Cheng Fei, or the murderer who killed Cheng Fei's parents.
The father and son investigated what happened that year, and within a few days someone sent a message to their door, saying they knew the truth about what happened that year, and invited Cheng Fei to meet alone.
The Fairy Swordsman did not agree with him to go alone. Cheng Fei was young and could not hold his temper. He was afraid that if he refused, he would lose the chance to know the truth, so he secretly went to the agreed place without telling the Fairy Swordsman.
As a result, he was stunned by the incense and the Fairy Swordsman discovered that he was not in the room. He realized that he was acting alone and immediately chased after him.
But it was still a step too late. Cheng Fei was taken away. There was no trace at the scene and he could not be traced.
As for Cheng Fei, when he woke up, he found him lying in a pool. The water was not deep and there were many small insects swimming in it.
He was so disgusted that he quickly climbed out of the pool, took off his clothes and cleaned up.
"What kind of bugs are those?" I asked.
"There are all kinds of them, big and small, different colors, some with legs, some without legs, some with wings, some without wings, there are too many, it's so disgusting!"
"Is there anyone around?"
"No, it was a natural pool, so I didn't think much about it and thought it was an insect in the wild. I cleaned up my clothes and found my way back."
"Do you remember the specific location?"
"Remember, I will take you there."
"If the miracle doctor wants to see you immediately, I will carry this kid on my back."
"Then let's go." I looked at Cheng Fei's complexion and saw that he had been lying down for too long and hadn't eaten properly in a few days.
Can be good.
On the way, the fairy swordsman told me about Cheng Fei. I felt that the three members of the Cheng family might be the key to solving the case. Since Cheng Fei was a child at the time, his parents might have known something and were silenced.
Cheng Fei's father is Cheng Jiangnian, a swordsman from Yanyu, and his mother is Shi Ying, a disciple of Yaoxian Valley.
The couple is relatively well-known in the world. They support justice, treat illnesses and save lives. They can be described as a couple of gods.
Cheng Jiangnian is introverted and doesn't like to interact with others. In the words of my original world, he is socially anxious.
He basically has no friends, and it is extremely difficult to make friends.
The Fairy Swordsman can become his friend because he and his wife Shi Ying are actually similar in approach and approach.
That means ‘chasing’, ‘sticking’, and ‘flirting’.
Follow him wherever you go, stick to him, and always make him talk. It doesn't matter if he doesn't talk, just fill up the chatterbox attribute yourself.
The Immortal Swordsman also said that Cheng Fei and his father look like the same mold. Through Cheng Fei, we can know Cheng Jiangnian's appearance, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright eyes, and a sense of righteousness.
Cheng Jiangnian, the misty and rain swordsman, was only sixteen years old when he entered the world. The misty and rain sword passed down from his ancestors only killed evil gangsters and thugs, and helped the strong and the weak. It is not surprising that Shi Ying would pursue such a righteous hero.
"Shi Ying was always ostracized by her classmates in Yaoxian Valley. Her master valued her very much and said that she was very talented, but she was not in the right place to study the heresy. In anger, she packed her bags and left the valley to go out alone. She met
The thief almost got into trouble, but he was saved by Jiang Nian, and he has relied on him ever since, haha."
"Sideways?"
"In my opinion, poisoning is also a kind of medical skill. How can it be heretical? Dr. An Shen is good at detoxification, so he must understand Shi Ying's thoughts."
"Poison can harm people, but it can also save people. It depends on who uses it and how it is used." I said.
"Exactly, Shi Ying has a kind heart, and she will never harm others with poison."
The clues gradually became clear, and I turned the focus of my inquiry to Shi Ying.
"Tell me about Shi Ying."
"She...even though she is lively and active, she always talks non-stop when she is around Jiang Nian, but once she starts delving into poisons, she can forget about food and sleep, stay silent, and ignores everyone. When she is tinkering with those poisons,
It’s like a new person.”
"Did she achieve anything?"
"Yes, there are many. This girl is crazy. When she is obsessed with studying, she takes poison and test medicine by herself, swallowing bottle after bottle. It's scary to look at it."
"Are there any results related to insects?"
"Well... I don't know. When I go to their house, I always drink with Jiang Nian. I rarely talk about poisons with Shi Ying." After he finished speaking, he paused, seemed to think of something again, and added:
"Shi Ying had a notebook to record her thoughts and experiences in developing poisons, but after their couple was killed, that notebook was not among the remains."
He slowly said again: "At that time, I was just looking for the missing Xiao Fei, and I didn't have the heart to think about anything else. When you asked me this, I seemed to understand what you meant."
He put Cheng Fei, who was not energetic, on his back and sighed: "It was the poison developed by Shi Ying that brought death to their family, right?"
"It's possible." I didn't hide it. "If it was a vendetta or to silence them, after killing Cheng Jiangnian and his wife, since they know where Cheng Fei is, it would be easy to kill him."
But the person behind the scenes didn't take any action and kept following him secretly.
Are you just having fun just to see him having a bad life? No need.
The Immortal Swordsman said that Cheng Jiangnian was walking around the world without friends or confidante. Shi Ying was also an outlier in Yaoxian Valley. It was unlikely that she would have a persistent secret admirer. Moreover, she would not follow her even after leaving the valley. Her child was only several years old.
Think of love giving rise to hatred?
If you don't kill for love, why bother to torture a child, not letting him die and not making him feel better.
