Women's First Swordsman [Transmigration Book]

Indeed, as the skinny monk said, there is still a short distance from Baihe Station to Pianyu Temple.It took a full day and night, and at noon, the four arrived at the village under the Pianyu Temple.

On the way, Mubai asked them how to address them. The skinny monk said he was the oldest, with the name of Kongyan, the fat monk with the name of Kongyuan, and the young monk was Kongle, but everyone called him Xiaobudian.

The little monk couldn't walk, he was riding on the shoulders of his brother Kong Yan, and hit the scorching sun at noon, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't lift his spirits listlessly.

Kong Yuan handed him the water bottle to drink a couple of sips, wiped off his sweat, and said, "Pian Yu Guan is on the mountainside, there is still some way to go, why don't we rest here and wait for the sun to set before going up."

Kong Yan turned to look at Mu Bai: "What do young heroes think?"

"can."

The four of them walked into the village, and saw that most of the doors were closed, and only two or three farmers were working in the fields.

Kong Yuan stepped forward and asked one of the white-haired old men: "Old man, can you borrow a place to rest? We passed by here on our way, the sun is too hot."

The old man raised his face, squinted his eyes and looked at them carefully: "You guys... are the masters of Konggu Temple?"

They are indeed disciples of Konggu Temple, but they have not yet reached the point where they can be called masters.

The little monk smiled and said, "Yes! We are all masters!"

Sorahiko squeezed his calf and smiled helplessly.

"Follow me." The old man bowed his waist and led them into a low room.

The house is very dilapidated, the walls are covered with cracks and stains, and there are chili strings and garlic hanging on the stove.Although it does not look rich, it is spacious enough with a front hall, two bedrooms, and a yard.

Mu Bai and the monks sat down in the living room, after a while, the old man brought four bowls of cold water.The bowls were also tattered.

The little monk opened his mouth to drink, but Kong Yuan stopped him, while the old man turned his back, he quietly took out a silver needle to test whether there was any medicine in the bowl.

Seeing this scene, Mu Bai thought of someone.

I don't know what Su Mo is doing now.

He stared at the water in the bowl, shook his head after a moment, and turned his attention back to his eyes.

The silver needle remained unchanged, Kong Yuan put it away, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

At this time, the old man tremblingly came over with a jar of white sugar, and asked if they needed some more.

Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes.

Although he wasn't the one who took the silver needle to test the poison, Mu Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with being cautious when walking in the rivers and lakes, but he just felt that he had violated the goodwill of the old man for no reason, and he deserved it.

He thanked the old man and added a little sugar.

The cool water dripped sweetly into the throat, dispelling the dryness and heat.The four of them were sitting in the front hall chatting with bowls in their hands. Not long after, the hottest hour of the day passed, and a cool breeze blew in from the courtyard.

With a faint... bloody smell?

Mu Bai frowned slightly.

He turned to look at the three people beside him, but none of them obviously smelled it.

Mu Bai sniffed carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

After taking two steps, the old man came in carrying a chicken that had been cleaned and cut into two pieces: "This is raised at home. The old man and I are alone at home on weekdays, so I am not willing to eat it. I keep it for entertaining guests..."

As the smell of blood approached, the three monks retreated instinctively, Kong Yan hurriedly said: "Don't bother me, old man, we monks don't eat meat."

The old man said: "What's the matter, the Taoist nuns in Pianyu Temple also secretly eat meat, as long as their teachers don't find out, no one will say anything."

"It can't be done."

Seeing that Kongyan still refused, the old man shook his head and turned to Mubai: "They can't eat it, but the young man can eat it, right?"

Mu Bai wondered: "That's too much trouble for you."

"Do you think the things my old man makes are unclean?" The old man scowled, his eyes fixed on him.

Mu Bai was a little bit sorry for the poison test just now, upon hearing what he said, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Why? It's just that we have to rest for a while and we have to leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time for dinner."

The old man hunched over and walked towards the stove, chattering, "I can make it in time, I can make it in time..."

Seeing his gray-haired back, Mu Bai thought of his master, and guessed that when a person reaches a certain age, he will always have a strange temper.Since I couldn't hold back, I had no choice but to go up and help peel some garlic and beat him up.

While burning firewood, the old man said to him: "Nowadays, there are not many sensible juniors like you. The one who helped me last time was a little girl."

"Little girl?"

"There is a little Taoist nun in Pianyu Temple. She is probably only in her early ten years old. I haven't seen her for a while."

Thinking of what happened recently, Mu Bai was silent, and said, "Perhaps there are too many things to do in the temple, and I don't have time to come and see you."

"Huh." The old man shook his head, "This place is remote, and few people pass by except the disciples of Pian Yu Guan, so you are going to go up the mountain, right?"

Mu Bai didn't hide anything: "Yes."

The old man looked up at him, and said in a deep voice, "This place is not peaceful these days."

Is this reminding myself?With a thought in his mind, Mu Bai bent his eyes and smiled: "Thank you, old man, I will be careful."

In the end, the three monks did not resist the temptation of chicken soup and started meat. By the time they finished their dinner, the sun had already set.

Mu Bai borrowed a lamp from the old man, and walked ahead with it, illuminating the rugged mountain road.

About half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.

He had seen the monks of Konggu Temple, and thought that the disciples of Pianyu Temple were also dressed like nuns, but after seeing them, he realized that they all had black hair reaching their waists, a wooden stick was inserted between their hair buns, and ribbons hung down on both sides, just like a pair of nuns. The appearance of an immortal.

When a Taoist nun saw them coming up the mountain, she hung her whisk in her arms and came forward to meet them.

The Taoist nun saw three shiny bald heads in the dark night, knew that it was people from Konggu Temple, and planned to lead them to see the teacher, but when she got closer, her eyes fell on Mu Bai unconsciously: "This is?"

Mu Bai said: "I am Li Tai's friend."

Li Tai was one of the two people who received a reward to investigate in Pianyuguan, but have not heard from him since then. He asked Li Xianna for his name.

The Taoist nun was in a daze for a moment before remembering: "Oh, it's that young hero who came over ten days ago."

"Yes, he couldn't be contacted after he got here."

"To be honest, we don't know his whereabouts. This kind of thing has happened frequently recently. There are three junior sisters in the temple who have not been found yet."

Mubai nodded and said: "There are no people here, no matter what, I should come and look for them."

The Taoist nun secretly glanced at him: "Then young man, let's stay in Pian Yu Temple first, and I'll go say hello to Master."

"If you have anything to ask, you can ask me." She raised her hand and pointed, "I live there."

The little monk laughed: "Sister Tingyue, I don't usually listen to you so gently."

Tingyue raised her hand and pinched his face: "You are the one who talks the most."

The little monk smiled and dodged it, and asked, "Where's Sister Tinglan? I'll go and play with her."

Tingyue was startled, and after ten breaths of silence, she whispered, "Tinglan is gone."

"what?"

"Master didn't tell you in the letter that Ting Lan was among the three junior sisters who couldn't find anyone."

Kong Yan was surprised: "How could it be? She is still so young."

Mu Bai asked aloud, "How old is she?"

"I just passed my tenth birthday at the beginning of the year." Tingyue said, "He is the youngest child in the temple."

She sighed: "Perhaps we protect her too much on weekdays. This girl doesn't know that her heart is sinister. She never came back after going down the mountain last time."

Mu Bai guessed that this was the little girl the old man mentioned, stroked the lamp in his hand, and sighed softly.

When entering the door, Master Ting Yu was kneeling in front of the futon to offer incense, Ting Yue stepped forward to help her: "Master, it's so late, you are still praying."

Listening to Yu Shitai holding her hand and getting up, turning to see Mu Bai, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Tingyue hurriedly said: "This is Li Tai - a friend of the chivalrous man who came to watch more than ten days ago."

Mu Bai nodded towards her.

Listening to Master Yu's words was no different from listening to Yue, and Mu Bai also answered the same, and then was arranged to live in an empty room.

The three monks lived in one room, and Mubai lived in one room alone.

On the second day, he went down the mountain alone early in the morning to return the lamp at the old man's house.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, the door of the low house was open, and there was no one inside.

Mu Bai went to the house to take a look, then walked into the backyard, turned around, but saw no one.

He was about to go to the field to have a look, when he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, like two birds parked on a wooden pole used to dry clothes, with brightly colored feathers, like parrots.

Mu Bai's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward lightly, trying to tease the two little birds.

They were combing their feathers, and when they sensed someone approaching, they tilted their heads, opened their mouths towards Mubai, and called loudly: "Help."

"Help."
