"Feng Qing is gone, should we go back?" Du Yue asked.
Mo Jiuwei shook her head, "No, it's not over yet."
Du Yue was stunned, but Mo Jiuwei had already walked towards Fengqing Courtyard with her short legs.
His yard was very large, but there were no servants in the yard, so it seemed eerily quiet.
Unlike those alchemists who like to plant some spiritual herbs and plants around them, Feng Qing's yard only has a few common trees and the rest is grass.
weed.
This shows how much the house is neglected.
The alchemy room was wide open, with a shelf inside, on which were placed a number of bottles and jars in a mess, as well as some randomly thrown jade slips.
The smell is terrible, a mixture of various medicinal herbs and elixirs, which makes people frown when they smell it.
Du Yue was puzzled and didn't know why Mo Jiuwei came to Feng Qing's alchemy room.
Could there be something valuable in here?
But Mo Jiuwei didn't linger on these things. She walked to a wall and patted it.
"It's empty? A secret room?" Du Yue heard it immediately.
"Um."
"Then I'll look for it."
Du Yue looked around and found a bulge, as if some dirt was stuck there.
I reached out and pressed something, and I heard the sound of a mechanism. A small door opened on the wall, revealing a small path extending downwards.
"Will it be dangerous in there?" Du Yue couldn't help but look worried, and he had already picked up Mo Jiuwei while speaking.
"It's okay." Mo Jiuwei said.
Du Yue was relieved and carried her inside.
Just after entering the path and walking a few steps, there is a turn. Although the path is a bit narrow, there are stones for lighting on both sides, which does not affect the vision at all.
"There are three doors... There seems to be some movement, do you want to go in?" Du Yue stopped.
This place is not big, with only three secret rooms in total, but they all have corresponding doors, and the doors look very thick, so you can't see what's inside through them.
But I don't know if they made some noise when they came over and startled the people in the house, causing the rustling sound inside, and I don't know what came from it.
This made Du Yue a little uneasy, fearing that something dangerous would suddenly break out from inside.
Mo Jiuwei took out the key and used it to open the nearest door.
Du Yue was stunned for a moment. She didn't even notice when Mo Jiuwei took the key.
It can be seen from the outside that this room is also the largest, and the noise just now seemed to have come from here.
As soon as the door opened, a dirty smell came out.
The smell of blood, dampness, stench, and even something rotten.
Du Yue almost vomited, and quickly reached out to cover Mo Jiuwei's nose, while holding her breath and not daring to smell it again.
But then her eyes widened in shock.
This seems to be a "prison" with many "prisoners" imprisoned in it.
They are all women.
These people were locked behind iron bars, their clothes were disheveled, their eyes were dull, and their bodies were covered with wounds. Some of the wounds had already scabbed over and were dark red, while others seemed to have been injured not long ago and were still bright red.
A quick glance showed that there were at least a dozen people, some sitting, some lying, and some with their limbs tied up and against the wall.
Perhaps less than half of these people were conscious, and the rest were either dead or unconscious.
Those who were awake shrank back when they heard the door open, and put their heads in their arms or squatted with their heads buried in their knees.
"How could this happen...why are there so many women? Was this all done by Feng Qing?" Du Yue exclaimed.
Mo Jiuwei's face was as gloomy as water. She hummed and then said, "Don't be afraid. Feng Qing is dead, and the Wind Chasing Tribe is doomed. I am here to save you. If anyone is still alive, let me know and I will give you pills."
She didn't say a word and started to take pills from the immortal palace after she finished speaking.
The women inside were all stunned!
They were terrified when they first heard the footsteps, thinking Feng Qing was coming again. The rustling sounds Du Yue and the others heard were made when they wanted to hide.
But when the door opened, a woman and a child came in. Both of them were strangers, so they were a little confused when they saw them, not knowing what was going on.
Until I heard what Mo Jiuwei said.
"Feng Qing, dead?"
A woman spoke hoarsely. She seemed very excited and rushed towards the fence, clenching her hands tightly.
Her body was covered in dirt, and there wasn't even a piece of clean skin to be seen, but her eyes were bright and full of desire to survive.
"Yes, he's dead. The people of the Bu Shen tribe have attacked us. The tribe leader and his men are all dead. Feng Qing is also dead." Du Yue hurriedly explained, "Quick, divide the medicine among you."
"Is there any food and water? Give them some too." Mo Jiuwei said.
"some."
Du Yue nodded and hurriedly took out all the things.
It can be said that since raising Mo Jiuwei, everyone in the Xianlai Sect would carry a lot of food and drinks with them no matter where they went.
This way, no matter who takes care of Mo Jiuwei, she will not be short of food and drink.
And because Mo Jiuwei is quite picky about food, the food is all quite delicate and delicious, and almost never repeated.
Now all these delicacies were displayed by Du Yue. Some were made into flower shapes, some were colorful dumplings, and some were various pastries and pies.
These women were already starving and almost out of strength, so even a steamed bun would be a delicacy to them, not to mention these snacks that looked so exquisite.
Feng Qing was afraid that they would have too much energy to escape if they ate too much, so he simply fed them only a little dry food every few days.
It not only hangs their lives, but also leaves them completely exhausted and forced to sleep every day.
They stared at the food in shock for a moment, and before they could even say thank you, their hungry instincts forced them to grab it and stuff it into their mouths.
Du Yue and Mo Jiuwei did not urge them, but just waited for them to eat and drink their fill, and then waited for them to feed the pills to themselves and the motionless woman beside them.
"He didn't abuse us." One of the women, Huang Ye, wiped her tears and said, "He doesn't seem to have any interest in sex. He only cares about fame and fortune. He kidnapped us here to take our virgin flesh and blood to help him refine the elixir."
"What?" Du Yue felt terrible.
Feng Qing didn't abuse them, which was a blessing in disguise, but... taking their flesh and blood?
Du Yue looked at the women now. Huang Ye seemed to have guessed her thoughts and reached out to lift the hem of her skirt, revealing her calves.
The blood stains on the calf have dried, but that is not the point. The point is... there is an obvious dent there.
The wound should not have been there for long, as you can tell from the color of the scar.
