Chapter 56 - Chapter 16  Mystery Of The Sheepskin

Five days after Bazar Batu fully recovered, the four decided to leave the bamboo shed. They reached the cliff.

Yan Zhanjin, "You take Dandan first. Then you come back and take me. Then you can come back and take him."

Bazar Batu, "No, Lok ge ge, please take Dandan first, and then he will come back for me, and then you will be the last one."

Yan Zhanjin, "That's not our deal."

Bazar Batu, "The deal is still valid. Lok ge ge, will still take the two of you to the other side. What if when you two get into the other side and you refused to help pull us up. Do you think using his lightness foot agility going back and forth is easy?" He looked at Yan Zhanjin. "Take it or leave it. I actually don't mind staying here with Lok ge ge."

Yan Zhanjin looked at Chen Dandan uneasily.

Chen Dandan, "Shixiong, I will make sure he comes back for you."

Chen Dandan climbed onto Kuo Lok's back, and the two stood closely on the edge of the cliff. When the wind blew from below the bottomless, Chen Dandan clutched Kuo Lok's neck tightly.

Kuo Lok, "Lady Chen, if you are afraid, please close your eyes." He turned to Bazar Batu and Yan Zhanjin. "I am ready."

Yan Zhanjin pushed the tombstone back, and the two rock platforms moved forward quickly. Kuo Lok flew to the small rock platform, and then flew to the other side. He grabbed the chain and used the chain as a guide to fly around the cliff. Kuo Lok let Chen Dandan down from his back. Kou Lok flew over and took Bazar Batu over.

Bazar Batu, "Lok ge ge, take a break."

Kuo Lok, "Don't worry, I wll be alright." He flew over.

Yan Zhanjin climbed on Kuo Lok's back and said, "Lok-xiong, I'm ready."

Chen Dandan pushed the tombstone back and got stuck. She pushed hard, and the two small stone platforms stretched out. When Kuo Lok and Yan Zhanjin jumped down onto the platforms and the other side of the platforms began to crack with a loud cracking sound.

Chen Dandan, "What is that?"

Bazar Batu looked down, and the small Stoke platform below him began to crack. He shouted. He shouted, "Lok ge ge, hurry!"

Kuo Lok quickly jumped onto the cracked platform and began to crack. He grabbed Yan Zhanjin's right shoulder. He muttered, "Let go of my neck." Then, he tossed Yan Zhanjin up, hit the sole of Yan Zhanjin's shoe with his dragon palm strike, and pushed Yan Zhanjin up onto the cliff. He fell down.

Bazar Batu screamed, "Lok ge ge!"

Kuo Lok grabbed the chain hanging on the edge of the cliff, and when he slid down the fraction of his hand and the chain burned his hand.He was only able to stop sliding when the chain was about to end. He heard Bazar Batu calling him. He slowly climbed the chain towards the cliff with bloody hands.

Bazar Batu cried andshouted at the same time, "Lok ge ge, can you heard me! Lok ge ge!"

Yan Zhanjin grunted in pain and sat up slowly. Chen Dandan helped him, and they walked to the cliff. They are standing next to Bazar Batu.

Yan Zhanjin said, "He save my life." He felt guilty that he doubted Kuo Lok back in the bamboo shed. His shifu was the one who taught him to never trust martial artists because they were not considerate to others except themselves, but he admitted that Kuo Lok's actionleft him a different impression.

Bazar Batu sobbed and called Kuo Lok's name, and then he saw the chains start to jingle. Kuo Lok slowly approached from the monring mist. Bazar Batu wiped away his tears and quickly tore a vine from the hillside and threw it down ten meters.

When Kuo Lok climbed all the way to the top of the chain, he saw a vine. He grabbed the vine and was slowly pulled towards the cliff. Once he reached the top of the cliff, Bazar Batu stretched out his hand to help pull Kuo Lok up.

Bazar Batu hugged Kuo Lok tightly and said, "I thought you fell."

Kuo Lok, "Don't cry. A man."

Bazar Batu interrupted, "I know…a man bleeds but doesn't shed tears. I don't care what others say. This man will sheds tears and refuses to bleed." He looked down at Kuo Lok's bloody hands. "Are you hurt? Let me see." He held Kuo Lok's hands.

Kuo Lok said, "It alright."

Yan Zhanjin said, "Let me see." He examined Kuo Lok's hands. He put down his bag, took out a small bottle, and poured some white powder onto Kuo Lok's hands. Then he wrapped it nicely. "It will heal in the next few days." Then, he took another bottle, poured out a dark pill, and give it to Bazar Batu.

Bazar Batu, "What is this?" He took the pill from Yan Zhanjin's hand.

Yan Zhanjin tied his bag and stood up. He said, "This is an antidote to the poison you drank six days ago."

Bazar Batu asked angrily, "You poison? How dare you?"

Yan Zhanjin defended himself, "This is just for prevention. You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either."

Bazar Batu, "Lok ge ge just risked his life to save your life."

Yan Zhanjin said, "I poisoned you before I know that. My shifu taught me since I am very young, we should never trust outsiders.." He smiled. "Let's go there to rest, and I will tell you a story."

Then, the four friends rested in the old pavilion.

Bazar Batu frowned, "It better be worth my time?"

Chen Dandan said, "This wil make you understand why shixiong poisoned you."

Yan Zhanjin, "After the medical exam in the capital, my shifu was not selected as a loyal doctor, but one of the Mu was chosen. On his way out of the palace he happened to bump into a eunuch and four guards. The old eunuch yelled at him and slap him twice. When the old eunuch left he dropped a bamboo tub. Shifu chase after the Old eunuch."

Chen Fa, "Your honor, please wait a moment."

Sun eunuch yelled, "You uneducated peasant, do you know that I am already really late." Sun eunuch reached inside his sleeve, but did not find his little bamboo tube. His face panicked, and he yelled to the guard. "Help me find a small bamboo . Now!"

Chen Fa reached into his sleeve, "I just want to." Then his face started to burn from the slap he received from Sun eunuch. In anger, he pulled his hand from his sleeve and wanted to teach the old man a lesson, so he closed his mouth.

Sun eunuch yelled at Chen Fa, "What are you doing standing there? Get out of my sight."

Chen Fa smiled and said, "I want to thank the eunuch Sun for teaching me a lesson today. This peasant is taking his leave." Chen Fa left the old eunuch and the four guards searching for the bamboo tub that safely hidden in the left sleeve.

When Chen Fa got returned to the inn where he had stayed during the exam, he opened a small bamboo tub. There is a piece of dry brown paper inside the small bamboo tub neatly folding inside in it. He slowly took out the dry brown paper. Then he realized that paper is not paper, but human skin is dry. He was shocked, so he dropped the dry human skin on the floor. The dry skin was unraveled, like a picture of a mountain. He slowly unfolded the dry human skin, which it look like some kind of map. Then he heard people running outside in the hallway. He got out and grabbed a waiter.

Chen Fa asked, "What is going on?"

Waiter, "Sun eunuch said a scholar who took the exam stole his treasure. He want all of the scholars who participated to gather in the main dining hall." He grabbed Chen Fa. "You are one of those scholars."

Chen Fa, "Let me use the bathroom quickly, and I will follow you."

Waiter, "You must hurry up, Sun eunuch is not a patient person."

Chen Fa, "I know."

As soon as the waiter left, Chen Fa returned to the room and grabbed his schoolbag. He walked slowly towards the back door, but there were already eight guards there. He tried to find a hiding place, but the guards started looking for room to room. He entered the toilet, so he hid in one toilet cubicle, but the guards began to open the doors of one toilet cubicle at a time. Chen Fa had no choice but to climb down the disgusting smelly toilet hole.

Bazar Batu, "He is very courageous."

Yan Zhanjin said, "To save his life, he has no choice."

Bazar Batu, "That still doesn't explain why you don't trust martial artists."

Chen Dandan, "My father said that many years ago, a martial artist came to him for his opinion. They exchanged ideas. He taught my father Mu acupuncture techniques, and my father taught him many herbs."

Yan Zhanjin said, "However, he came with a dark purpose. In his mind, he was never there to exchanged ideas. He is there for that human skin map."

Bazar Batu, "Isn't that map sheepskin?" He suddenly felt sick. He felt his hands start to itch.

Chen Da replied, "No, it is human skin."

Bazar knows that the old sheepskin that has been with him for so many days is actually human skin and still feels sick. He asked, "Who is that martial artist?"

Yan Zhanjin said, "Cao Fengge."
