Women's First Swordsman [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 32 The Lady in Red
Mubai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instinctively took two steps back.
At this moment, footsteps came from the front hall.
He turned around and saw the old man walking in with a live chicken in his hand, and nodded to himself: "It's so early."
Mu Bai glanced at the two parrots on the pole from the corner of his eye, his face remained calm, and he raised the lamp in his hand to him: "I'll return the lamp."
"Put it there." The old man put the chicken in the cage, took out a bowl and put it on the table, picked up the pot and poured water for him.
After putting the lamp on the ground, Mubai walked to the table, pretending to accidentally touch the tea bowl with the back of his hand, pushed the bowl out of the edge of the table, and threw it to the ground.
The old man immediately caught the bowl and put it back on the table without even spilling a drop of water.
Mu Bai narrowed his eyes: "Old man, martial arts are pretty good."
He took half a step back, drew out the Tianyuliufang sword and pointed it at the old man's throat.
The opponent dodged to one side, and his movements were as charming as phantoms.
He raised his hand to pinch Mubai's blade, and snorted coldly: "Boy, yesterday I praised you for being sensible, but today I pointed the sword at the old man."
Mu Bai asked: "Did you kill the little Taoist nun in Pianyu Temple?"
"Bloody spout, what am I going to kill her for?"
Mu Bai shook the sword, knocked away the old man's hand, and stabbed straight at him.
The old man lay back and turned around, Tian Yu Liu Fang's sword slashed to the ground.
He kicked a carp on the ground with his toes, ran out of the house in two steps, and flew up to the courtyard wall with lightness kung fu.
His back is straight, and he doesn't see the stooped appearance of yesterday at all.
Mu Bai has learned Qinggong from Su Mo for so long, and he is already considered a leader in the world, but within a quarter of an hour, he lost him.
Mu Bai looked around and couldn't find a trace, so he had to turn back the same way and return to the low house.
There was still a faint smell of blood in the courtyard.
Following the smell, he found a huge chopping board in front of the courtyard wall. It was stained with blood, and it seemed to be used for slaughtering poultry.
Suddenly, Mu Bai heard a very slight sound, which seemed to come from under the chopping board.
He moved his ears, concentrated his listening, and heard the sound of breathing that seemed to echo in the cellar.
When the cutting board was removed, a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground.When the light casts down, it only illuminates a small circular area, and the place next to it is dark and steep, making it hard to see clearly.
He went to the house to fetch a lamp, drew out the Tianyuliufang sword, and climbed down the rope ladder at the entrance of the cave.
The size of the burrow is small, and the light from the lamp casts it all around. In the darkness at the end, you can clearly see more than a dozen people being hung up by their hands and tied to the wall. The dark blood soaked through their clothes, dripping downward fall.
Mu Bai frowned, and walked towards the youngest girl among them.
The little girl's breath was weak, Mu Bai took her pulse, and checked her trousers and sleeves, and found that her body was covered with fine wounds, some had scabs, and some seemed to be cut open yesterday, blood flowed from them trickle out slowly.
She lost a lot of blood, her complexion was pale, and she seemed to have passed out.
Mu Bai frowned, and cut open the iron chain hanging the little girl with his sword, and suddenly heard a weak voice from the corner: "You... are you here to save us?"
He followed the sound and saw a man on the other side of the cave staring at him with his eyes open.
The man was also hung up in shackles and chains, covered in blood, and looked to be in his early twenties.
Mu Bai gently put the little girl against the wall, walked up to him, said "yes", and raised his sword to cut off the iron chain.
The man hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"
Jianfeng stopped above the iron chain, Mu Bai asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "If I wasn't bound by this iron chain, I..."
He glanced at the unconscious Taoist nun in the corner, and lowered his eyes: "Thank you young hero for saving me, but there is still poison in my body. The old man said that I have to hang myself for another two or three days."
Mu Bai blinked: "The one who lives in the low room above?"
"Yes." The man asked, "I just heard a strange movement from above, is the old man alright?"
Mubai covered his mouth and let out a clear cough, and said awkwardly: "He ran away, I didn't catch up."
After a pause, he explained: "I smelled the smell of blood in the courtyard, and heard the two birds on the pole shouting 'help', so I thought that the little Taoist nun in Pianyuguan was killed by him...how can you listen to me?" His tone, isn’t that old man a bad guy?”
"The two parrots were rescued by the old man together." The man said slowly, "A while ago I heard that there were frequent disappearances here, so my companion and I came to investigate... Later, we found the missing parrot in an abandoned Taoist temple on the top of the mountain." people."
"But before we could save people, we were beaten unconscious, and when we woke up, our hands and feet were tied up, and—" he gritted his teeth, "we were poisoned by Acacia."
Mu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then saw him lift his chin to signal the other eight men in the cave: "When the old man rescued us, we hadn't fully developed the poison yet, but they have been imprisoned in the Taoist temple for a while, and they both went crazy."
"What about the three girls? Are they all right?"
The man shook his head: "The old man said that the poison among them is another poison, which can erode the human brain and turn people into walking corpses, completely obeying the orders of the Gu master. If it is not completely discharged, the host will slowly wither and die."
Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that in the original text, the leader of the red lotus had used this poison.
The man went on to say, "The old man hung us here for bloodletting, and he came to feed us some liquid food, medicine, and processed chicken and duck blood every day."
Mu Bai nodded: "So that's the case. Then I won't let you down?"
"Hang on, we won't die for a while, but we just need to trouble the young man to find something to eat."
"it is good."
Mu Bai responded, climbed up the rope ladder, found the cooked porridge and water in the low room and brought it down.
After eating, the unconscious Taoist nun and others gradually regained consciousness.
The little girl drank some water from Mubai's hand, rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Thank you brother."
Mu Bai stroked her hair, and asked softly, "You are Ting Lan, right?"
"How do you know, brother?"
"I heard that the nun in Pianyu Temple mentioned you."
"Ah." Ting Lan opened her eyes wide in ignorance. After a while, she lowered her head and said in a very low voice, "There are monsters in the temple."
"what?"
"A woman in a red dress...is particularly frightening, it must be a monster."
Mu Bai immediately asked, "Where did you see it?"
"The road leading to the top of the mountain. There is only an abandoned Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. Usually, no one goes there, so I followed quietly, trying to see where she was going... Later, later, she found out."
"The two senior sisters were imprisoned in the same way. Fortunately, Grandpa rescued us." Ting Lan asked, "Have you seen Grandpa? He lives up there. I used to come down the mountain to visit him."
"Uh..." Mu Bai pursed his lips tightly, wondering if he should tell her that the old man was just beaten away by him.
He heard that another Taoist nun was the first to be imprisoned, so he asked her to find out more about the situation.
According to her, the first person to go missing was a man who passed by and was staying at Pianyu Temple. Later, a lot of people went missing here.As for the three of them, they all ran into the woman in red near the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and were locked in together.
As the nun spoke, her face suddenly turned red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito humming.
Fortunately, Mubai's ears were so strong that he still heard her words clearly—the red-clothed woman kidnapped these men to use their bodies to cultivate a kind of crooked way.
Mubai hissed: "I came here with the three monks of Konggu Temple. They live in Pianyu Temple now, isn't it very dangerous?"
The Taoist nun heard Mubai mentioned the names of the three monks, and said clearly: "I have met the three of them. The little one is not an adult, and Kong Yuan is still safe, but Kong Yan is a bit dangerous."
"Why is the empty circle safe?"
"Young Xia, you haven't noticed that the men she kidnapped, not to mention how handsome they are, are at least strong and strong young men."
"Oh." Mu Bai suddenly nodded.
"The most dangerous one is you." The nun gestured to a man in the corner who was so skinny that he was about to lose his shape. "That man was the most handsome among them. Look at how he has been tortured now."
Mubai: "..."
"If you still live there at night, be careful."
"thanks for reminding."
Mubai's back felt cold, he got up and went to that poor brother, broke off a piece of steamed bun and fed it to him: "Brother worked hard, eat more to make up for it."
He broke off the buns, and suddenly thought of Su Mo's leek buns.
Strange to say, why I still miss him after not seeing him for a few days.
Mubai lowered his eyes and sighed, thinking about finishing his work earlier and going back early, so as not to worry Su Mo.
The old man goes down to the burrow to feed these people every morning, three times a day.Mu Bai beat him away, so he had to take responsibility himself.
It wasn't until after dinner and the sun went down that he moved the cutting board back to its original position, leaving some gaps against the wall for air to circulate.
After returning to Pianyu Temple, Mubai planned to talk to Kong Yan about this matter, but he couldn't find anyone. The other Taoist nuns in the temple said they didn't see it.
The other two monks were enjoying the shade under the Guanzhong tree.
Hearing Mubai's question, Kongyuan patted his bald head blankly and said, "Brother yawned after dinner at night, he went back to the room to rest, why isn't he in the room?"
"...Okay, I'll go take a look."
Mu Bai returned to the corridor, confirmed that there was no one in the room where the monks lived, then turned and stepped into his own bedroom next door.
As soon as the door was closed, a person came up from the corner.
Before the lights could be turned on, the room was dimly lit.
The man clasped Mu Bai's waist from behind, gently grabbed the back of his neck, breathing vaguely and warmly.
Mu Bai trembled all over, and was about to draw his sword when he suddenly smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.
"... Su Mo?"
He turned around and saw those clear eyes.
At this time, the tails of the eyes were drooping, and the eyelashes drooped on the tear mole, which was inexplicably alluring.
Su Mo's expression was gloomy, his eyes were dark, and his voice was hoarse: "You said you would come back later, and you will be gone for three days."
Mu Bai's Adam's apple twitched: "Didn't I leave a note saying that receiving a new reward order is tricky, so it will take a while..."
"You promised not to sneak away."
"I didn't sneak away, I left a note... No, how did you find me?"
Su Mo didn't answer, but buried his face in his neck.
The black hair rubbed against Mubai's itching, and his chest softened.He didn't have the time to think about anything else, he just raised his hand and patted Su Mo's back gently.
Su Mo's kisses and gestures are usually gentle, but tonight they are extremely manic.
Mu Bai lifted his face up to pant, the red mark on his neck was beautiful.
His hands were pinned against the door, so he lowered his eyes and called softly, "Brother Su Mo."
"Ok?"
"I miss you too."
At this moment, footsteps came from the front hall.
He turned around and saw the old man walking in with a live chicken in his hand, and nodded to himself: "It's so early."

"Bloody spout, what am I going to kill her for?"
Mu Bai shook the sword, knocked away the old man's hand, and stabbed straight at him.
