Ning Cheng seemed also surprised by his words, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, full of frustration.

He only heard a miserable laugh: "Senior brother... also said such a thing back then. But you saw his end?"

Ning Duo said word by word: "I will neither hurt my fellow disciples nor betray my master. Then, why is Master worried that I will repeat my uncle's mistakes?"

Ning Cheng stood up abruptly, and shouted sharply: "Your uncle has never hurt a fellow sect, nor betrayed a master sect!..."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the entire secret room seemed to freeze completely suddenly.

Yuan Qinghang's heart was pounding, and his thoughts changed rapidly.

Although both he and Ning Duo firmly believed that there must be something strange about what happened back then, but there was no evidence and no clues, but now they suddenly heard such a resolute sentence from Ning Cheng, how could they not be terrified?

What does Ning Cheng know?Now that you know it, why has no one outside heard of it?

Ning Duo stared at Ning Cheng silently, and said, "If it's true what Master said, then this disciple begs Master to tell you the hidden story back then."

After waiting for a while, Ning Cheng didn't say a word.

Ning Duo finally stood up, flipped up his clothes, and fell to his knees.

Yuan Qinghang was taken aback, the vine quickly grew a few thick leaves, sneaked under Ning Duo's knee, and laid it underneath.

Ning Duo lowered his head, felt the softness under his knees, and finally calmed down a little.

His voice was difficult and he asked in a hoarse voice: "That's Tuer's uncle, the blood relative who brought me back from the plague. Should I not even ask?"

Ning Cheng's teeth seemed to be trembling slightly.

Ning Duo raised his head, but there was a torrent in his calm eyes: "If he really has a great grievance, or if he has a grievance beyond his control, then why... Master can't help him clarify one or two things, and why did he let him bear the burden after death?" With such a monstrous stigma?"

Ning Cheng took a staggered step, sat down on the small bed behind him, and said after a while, "Get up...what you want to know will always come to light."

He lost his mind for a while, he didn't know if he was remembering or struggling with something.

Finally, he continued: "That night, senior brother was in great spirits and chatted with me for a long time—he usually only treats me as a child, and rarely talks to me like this."

"Senior brother trusts me so much, I'm naturally very happy, but seeing his bright eyes and expression when he mentioned the devil, I feel uncomfortable."

"I always have a strange feeling, as if from now on, the senior brother will become a confidant with an evil outsider, and will be farther and farther away from us senior brothers."

"It wasn't until midnight that the senior brother finished speaking, and said with a smile: "Okay, go to sleep. In a few days, when the master returns from visiting friends, I will tell him about the little nephew, and the master will be very happy. "

Ning Cheng imitated Ning Wanfeng's tone, he had been talking like this before, but suddenly, he spoke faster.

"After a few days, Senior Brother Shang and Senior Brother Zheng came back together. This time they obeyed Master's order to intercept and kill a Demon Sect monster who had killed countless people, and returned with a big victory. Everyone surrounded them and asked After the battle, I was the only one who thought about Senior Brother Ning's relationship with the members of the Demon Sect, and I couldn't help feeling depressed."

"In the end, Senior Brother Shang saw that I was worried, so he quietly asked me what was wrong."

"I was so suffocated in my heart, and I was worried that my senior brother would go astray and be harmed by the bad guys from the Demon Sect, so I couldn't help it. I told Senior Brother Shang about my senior brother's relationship with that demon from the Demon Sect."

Ning Cheng's voice became extremely hoarse, trembling slightly: "Brother Shang was taken aback when he heard that, and he was worried and anxious, so he comforted me and said that he would find a chance to persuade senior brother."

Yuan Qinghang was under the bed, for some reason, a feeling of extreme uneasiness filled his whole body, and his heart sank.

Ning Cheng's tone became more sharp and excited: "After a few days of such calm and calm, the master finally went out and returned. On that day, the senior brother happened to go down the mountain to buy supplies. That night, I guarded the door and waited for the senior brother to come back. Suddenly came to our room."

"His complexion is extremely ugly, as if he has lost his mind, but no matter how I ask, he just smiles wryly and pats my head, saying that he is looking for Senior Brother Ning."

"At this moment, senior brother finally came back from outside, and he was shocked when he saw senior brother Zheng's expression."

"I still clearly remember that the moonlight that night was extremely cold, and Senior Brother Zheng's usually cheerful face was pale."

"Brother hurriedly asked him what happened. Brother Zheng Yuan looked at me, but hesitated for a moment, and said: Tell Xiao Cheng to sleep, let's go outside and talk."

"The two closed the door, stood in the yard and started whispering. Wherever I could sleep, I got up and hid under the window, listening with my ears up."

"Senior Brother Zheng Yuan stood under the tree, his face was facing me, even though he was far away, he could still see his pale face and dull eyes, as if he had just experienced something terrible."

"Senior brother Zheng Yuan grew up with his senior brother, and has always had a very good relationship with his senior brother. I have never seen this kind of expression on his face. For some reason, I felt flustered."

"But their voices were deliberately suppressed. I tried my best to catch them, but I could only hear a few vague words. I only heard Senior Brother Zheng Yuan say in a trembling voice: This matter has been settled... I just want to say goodbye to you."

"I only heard the senior brother startled and anxious, lowering his voice, saying: How can this be done? You must not go!"

"Brother Zheng Yuan shook his head, choked up and said: For the sake of the world, there must be someone..."

"His voice was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't hear clearly behind him. The senior brother was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly took his hand and said in a deep voice: "You and I will go to see the master."

"Senior brother Zheng Yuan couldn't help resisting, so the senior brother forced him out of the house."

"I sat on the bed blankly, but I couldn't sleep. My mind was full of the determination on my brother's face before going out, and suddenly I shivered. I felt very ominous and terrified."

Ning Cheng seemed to be recalling the scene of that night, and suddenly stopped.

Yuan Qinghang lay under the bed, curled up for too long, a little stiff, but his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

What happened many years ago has finally lifted a bit of the veil, revealing a trace of hideous features.

Ning Duo's heart was obviously shaken, and he asked: "My uncle...what is he going to do?"

Ning Cheng was quiet for a long time before he said dully: "No one knows. I only know that when he came back alone the next morning, he seemed to be a different person."

"The gentle senior brother who was full of energy and confided secrets to me with a smile a few days ago has disappeared. He has become silent and stern, full of preoccupations."

"No, it's not that I'm preoccupied. I feel... It's as if I'm sinking, and I'm sad. I was frightened, and I desperately asked what happened. But the senior brother said to me, Xiao Cheng, the senior brother asked you for one thing."

"That's my senior brother who is like a father and brother, and who is as kind as a mountain. How can I bear his begging? I shook my head desperately and said, senior brother, what do you ask me to do, I am willing to die."

"Senior brother smiled slightly, but the smile was very gloomy. He said: I am going to do something important recently, so don't ask, you will know in a few days. After this thing is done, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable , the future is bumpy, and there will be no place for me in the world.”

"His words were so shocking that I immediately burst into tears and said, senior brother, don't scare me. What's the matter, you can tell it, can't we solve it with so many seniors? No matter how bad it is, there is still the master, he values ​​it so much you."

"Brother looked at me in a daze, with a strange look on his face, and said softly after a while: Don't mention this. Anyway, you should pretend that you didn't know about Brother Zheng coming to see me last night."

"I still want to ask, but he shook his head and stopped me, saying: I beg you to help me raise my poor little nephew."

"You promise me that if senior brother is gone in the future, you will help me raise him well, but don't let anyone know his life experience, just let him be an ordinary person without a name."

"I was flustered and flustered, with tears streaming down my face. I shook my head repeatedly and said: I can't take care of the little baby alone. Senior brother, you have to raise him with me. You can't leave him alone."

"Senior brother's eye circles are slowly turning red. He forced a smile and said: Maybe I was worrying too much. If things go well, or if I am lucky, I might be able to turn the bad luck into good luck. At that time, I will return to the sect and lead the big family with my own hands." he."

"He said softly: My little nephew is called Ning Duo, you remember. He was fostered by me at the home of Li Yuanwai, a wealthy businessman in Guiyuan Town, three hundred miles away from here. You can find out when you go."

"Then, no matter how much I asked, he just kept silent. Sure enough, a few days later... something happened."

Ning Duo's voice was hoarse, like rusted iron being scratched, and the fist hanging by the bed was clenched suddenly.

Ning Duo said with difficulty: "He killed Uncle Shang, was he discovered?"

Ning Cheng was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Yes, the next step is as everyone in the world knows. Brother Shang was suddenly bewitched and murdered to the point of death. People in the door were panicked, and all kinds of strict investigations were carried out."

Yuan Qinghang was startled suddenly, and doubts arose in his heart.

Ning Wanfeng knew in advance that this was going to happen, so it would make sense to say that he had premeditated it.

But why on earth did he do this?

Ning Cheng's voice was indifferent, and he said quietly: "In the end, Senior Brother Zheng Yuan reported him. Senior Brother had a set of Gu poison equipment hidden under his pillow, and he was found out."

Ning Duo said in a deep voice: "My uncle is a master of the sword sect, it is impossible to study the use of poison to control Gu. Doesn't anyone think it's strange?"

Ning Cheng said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why not? No one believed that the upright Senior Brother Ning would do such a thing, but... he admitted it himself."

With cold eyes, he looked somewhere ahead, and said: "In the Chixia Palace, he was escorted and knelt there, and he confessed that he coveted the position of the master, so he asked the devil from the Demon Sect to ask for the poisonous technique, and assassinated him. Brother Shang."

Both Ning Duo and Yuan Qinghang knew about these things, and they were exactly the same as the legends later.

Ning Duo was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I have heard of it too. But Master, what is the truth?"

Ning Cheng kept his mouth shut.

After a while, he said lightly: "The time has not come, you don't need to know this now."

Ning Duo raised his head impressively: "Master, if you don't tell me, let me ask you—how did Master Zheng Yuan die?"

Ning Cheng said: "It's not a secret, if you inquire about it a little, you'll know it?"

Ning Duo nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that the head of the Supreme Master thought about his master and apprentice, and couldn't bear to kill him. He just destroyed his golden core and expelled him from the teacher's school. But he secretly hated Uncle Zheng for exposing his conspiracy. He killed Master Uncle Zheng with one sword, and then fled in a hurry."

He looked solemnly: "But you just said clearly that my uncle has never hurt my fellow disciples, nor betrayed my master. So, who killed Master Shang, and who killed Master Zheng Yuan?"

Ning Cheng looked at him without saying a word.

In the secret room, there was a suffocating silence.

Just when Yuan Qinghang thought Ning Duo was going to give up, he heard him speak in a low voice.

"Master, the horrified corpse in the Shuzong Grand Competition is Master Uncle Zheng Yuan, right?"

Yuan Qinghang suffocated suddenly.

Peeking from under the bed, Ning Cheng's back suddenly tensed at this moment.

Ning Duo continued: "In the past few days, my apprentice went to disturb Master Zheng's coffin again. It had been blown up before, but now there is another skeleton inside."

Ning Cheng clenched his teeth, his voice was suppressed, and he burst into anger: "Why are you so troublesome, what are you doing to open the coffin again!"

Ning Duo said in a low voice: "Master doesn't think it's strange that there are bones in there?...It's because you already knew it, right?"

He stared at Ning Cheng with slight pain in his eyes: "You always knew that the terrified corpse was Mr. Zheng, and you also knew that it was him in the coffin in the cemetery."

"Then...who managed to unearth Master Uncle Zheng's body, and who buried him back?"

The room, which was already so quiet that it was suffocating, suddenly dropped to freezing point.

A gust of cool wind rushed in from the secret door, swirling faintly.

Ning Cheng's face was slightly pale, he stared at the handsome young man in front of him, and suddenly smiled, as if he was a little relieved.

"Duo'er, you've really grown up." He said in a harmonious voice, "I've always been worried that you were too simple-minded, but now it seems that after being with that little devil for a long time, you have learned to be more flexible."

He shook his head: "I will doubt Master, very good."
