In the night rain, the woman galloped wildly.

She snorted suddenly, a low muffled grunt, a trace of dark red blood spilling from the corner of her lips. But she didn't have time to rest, she just crouched on her horse and breathed for a moment, and then she struggled to hold herself up again.

This is the backlash caused by the puppet technique being forcibly cut off by her, and the injury is inevitable, but it is better than being destroyed by others. After all, they were all her people, how could she not think of what they would do?

In the past, she might have felt aggrieved in the face of such a clansman, or she might just sneer—it depended purely on her mood at the time.

But today is different.

Yin Qiushui raised his hand to wipe away the blood from his mouth, tightened the reins expressionlessly, and continued to ride the horse forward.

......

She galloped all the way to this dark valley.

The valley may seem ordinary, but in fact it is arranged with the utmost ingenuity and sophistication. If he hadn't known the specific place in advance, Yin Qiushui might not have looked away when he asked himself.

She dismounted and walked alone into the depths of the jungle along a specific route.

Enough secluded caves.

The guards at the gate were shocked when they saw her.

"Madame, you...... Could it be ...... Something happened?"

Yin Qiushui then remembered that when she came, she forgot to wear the rain, and came on a horse in such a rainstorm, needless to say how embarrassed she was at this moment.

She shook her head and said, "It's fine." Just come and have a look. ”

Although she said this to them, her eyes were fixed on the deep and dead silence of the cave, and her face was pale and gloomy like a dead corpse that she had never seen before.

Seeing this scene, the guards were so nervous that they didn't even dare to come out, let alone ask more.

Yin Qiushui looked at it like this for a while, and walked into the cave in silence.

The guards looked at each other behind her, made eye contact for a moment, and then stepped out of one of them and followed.

The structure inside the cave is exactly the same as the secret passage inside the Dust Villa, with only a few dim wall lamps. The walkway was also very smooth and clean, but as soon as Yin Qiushui stepped in, she felt an unbearable feeling of nausea hit her, which made her can't help but retching on the stone wall.

-- The smell of blood, the smell of blood is extremely strong.

The guard who followed her looked embarrassed and whispered: "Madam, otherwise you go back first and wait for the next ......."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yin Qiushui straightened up with a cold face and walked towards the depths of the cave again.

They soon passed through a half-hidden iron gate. Yin Qiushui paused, stepped back to look at it a few more times, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Inside, there were stacks of neatly arranged books, almost filling an entire wall. And it's a new book - Yin Qiushui can still vaguely smell the unfinished smell of ink.

The guard smiled and said, "Madam, this is what the owner ordered me to buy." Said it was the poor scholar...... Ah no, that gentleman is very talented, so the owner asked him to buy more of his books, which is kind of helping him. ”

Yin Qiushui pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take a look." You don't have to follow. ”

The guard hesitated slightly, and bowed his head.

And Yin Qiushui didn't care how he reacted, he had already moved in, and even the door was closed.

......

This is a collection of weird stories that only folk scholars can write.

The folklore details are elaborate and detailed. But nothing else, ordinary, and even a little crazy babbling mixed in.

"Maybe Brother Cheng is really just here to help that scholar......" Yin Qiushui thought like this, and the cold color between his eyebrows lightened slightly.

She flipped through it quickly, her fingertips finally resting on the last story.

"Forbidden Women Begging for Food".

As soon as she read the first few lines, the woman's hands trembled a little—it was clearly based on rumors of the recent disappearance of children! What did he mean by buying these books?!

I don't know what I remembered, Yin Qiushui slowly sat down on the ground with a dull gaze, his face was as white as if it was transparent, as if the whole person would turn into aura like a puppet clone in the next moment. She slowly lowered her head, continued to look at the book spread out in her hand, and suddenly read softly with a clear mouth.

"The forbidden woman is a dead thing between the physical and the nothing. She walked beside the stream that alternated day and night, and returned to the world through the breath of the River Styx.

"Her organs are festering, her bones are rotten, but she has a shiny beauty skin. Anyone who has seen her will sing about her beauty for the rest of their lives.

"She came. With the warmth of the sun and the scent of flowers. She is as pure and selfless as a mother.

"She smiled and asked in the softest and most beautiful voice: 'I am thirsty. I am hungry. Can you help me?'

"People smiled dreamily and replied, 'I love, I can give you everything I have, what do you want?'

"She said in the softest and most beautiful voice: 'The sweetest blood, the sweetest meat.' ’

"With a dreamy smile, the people replied, 'I have blood, I have flesh, give it to you!'

Her smile was tinged with smoky sorrow, and she sighed in the softest and most beautiful voice: 'No, I don't want you, I want your delicate child.' ’

"With a dreamy smile, people replied, 'I love, take it, take it, and be a part of you who is so beautiful -- it is the fate of waiting, it is the fate of waiting!'"

Yin Qiushui stopped reading this. She laughed sullenly, but the next moment her expression was suddenly distorted, and she slammed the book against the wall with all her strength, clutching her head and screaming hysterically and silently.

Then she stood up quietly, pushed the door open again, and walked out.

......

Fang Cai's guards were still waiting outside the door.

Yin Qiushui glanced at him and continued to walk deeper.

Closer and closer, a few steps away. She could almost see a corner of the pool of stinking blood and a black mass on it......

Yin Qiushui stopped.

"Ma'am?" the guard asked in a low voice.

Yin Qiushui turned his head away and muttered, "What sound?"

The guard looked dazed. He listened hard for a long time, but found nothing. After all, his cultivation was too far from Yin Qiushui.

Yin Qiushui frowned, turned around abruptly, and hurriedly walked towards the place where the strange sound came from.

The closed stone door turned out to be a soundproof chamber, so no wonder the guards couldn't hear it.

Yin Qiushui pushed hard, but Shimen didn't move, which made her heart feel extremely angry for a moment. She slammed her fist into the door in a rage—the wound from the flames cracked again, splashing a blinding bright red mark on the gray stone door.

The guard bent down deeply, not daring to look at her. He pressed a mechanism on the side of the door with a slight trembling arm, and buried his head in a whisper: "Madam, the little one, this will help you open the door......

The mechanism was admirably exquisite, and the stone door was heavy, but when it was opened, it was silent, and it did not alarm the people in the secret room in the slightest.

- And when the miserable scene isolated by the stone gate was directly reflected in Yin Qiushui's eyes, she only felt a roar in her head, and the sudden intense dizziness made her almost fall to the ground.

The air was filled with a disgusting smell of erosion. Messy and crooked objects, liquids, pieces of clothing, blood, strange tools, lewd laughter and low panting.

The slender girl was naked, her wrists tied to the legs of the table, motionless. The disheveled man swayed on it.

"Brute ......"

"Who, didn't you see Lao Tzu ......" The man turned back impatiently, but fell into a stupor the moment he saw Yin Qiushui. He was shocked, climbed down in a panic, bent down and said, "Little, Miss...... I ......"

"Brute!"

Yin Qiushui's whole body was trembling. She clenched her teeth, pulled out her long sword, and slashed down with all her strength!

Blood splattered!

The guard stared blankly at the headless corpse, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "Madame...... He is a member of the Yin family...... I...... The little ones really don't know!"

Yin Qiushui was in a trance for a while, and said in a low voice, "Get it aside for me." ”

The guard was stunned, nodded desperately, and staggered over to pull the dead man and his head into the corner of the chamber. A long trail of blood dragged from the ground.

Yin Qiushui approached the girl on the ground with weak steps, cut the chains on her hands with two swords, and carefully called, "Girl?"

As if hearing the voice of the same woman, the girl's sloppy eyes gradually condensed. She suddenly raised her head, stared at Yin Qiushui, tilted her head and smiled, "Where is my brother?"

Yin Qiushui took a step back, like falling into an ice cave.

"Brother!" The girl didn't know where she got the strength, her body bounced up suddenly, pushed Yin Qiushui away, and ran out frantically. "Brother, brother!"

Yin Qiu subconsciously followed her. Follow her out, follow her into the main road, and follow her to the central pool of blood.

The air temperature was cold, but the thick dark red plasma in the blood pool kept churning and boiling. The pool of blood is divided into six corners, and strange and intricate patterns are carved around it, and the patterns spread to the small body fixed on the sharp corners......

"Brother!" the girl let out a terrible scream, and fell to the side of one of the boys, who had been dead for a long time.

Yin Qiushui was crumbling. She wished that she was also dead, so that she could not see or hear at all.

The girl slowly raised her head and looked resentfully at the center of the blood pool.

There, in all the dirty places, there is a pure white body of light, full of fresh and wonderful vitality, which makes those who see it like falling into a dream.

"It's it! It's all it!"

The girl grabbed the sharp edges of the broken chains and flew towards the center of the pool of blood.

"No!" Yin Qiushui pulled her back in a panic, blocked her in front of the blood pool, and muttered repeatedly: "It can't be destroyed! It can't ......be destroyed."

The girl laughed miserably, stabbed Yin Qiushui hard in the neck, and screamed: "You all deserve to die!

Yin Qiushui still maintained a posture with his arms open, but he didn't know how to hide-

A scream.

"Madame, ma'am, are you alright?"

"Ma'am?"

"Miss......"

"Madame......"

Yin Qiushui slowly came back to his senses, and raised his hand to touch the warm blood splashed on his cheek - it was the blood of the girl's heart.

The naked girl fell to the ground with a twist, her body gradually cold and stiff, and her eyes remained unshutten.

"Miss, this little slut dares to make a move on Miss, he deserves ......"

"Get out!"

Yin Qiushui suddenly burst out with a hoarse scream, and she felt as if something had exploded in her mind. She bent down and vomited violently, as if she were going to vomit her own entrails.

"Get out. Get out of here - get out of here!"

Her subordinates were so frightened by her that they retreated and left here in a hurry, leaving her alone to look at a dead man for a long time.

......

The whole cave was overwhelmed by a grave-like dead silence, and it was impossible to turn over, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Yin Qiushui left the blood pool earlier than expected.

She walked out slowly, her expression solemn and her eyes like iron.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Yin Qiushui calmly return to the room she had entered first, and began to tear the book frantically.

The sky was full of pale book crumbs flying like snow.

But Yin Qiushui, who was doing such crazy things, was still so calm - this scene was extremely creepy.

One of the guards came closer and asked softly, "Madam, where is the owner?"

Yin Qiushui said: "What did you say?"

The guard quietly looked at her expression with his peripheral eyes, and repeated hesitantly: "Madam...... Zhuang - "

However, it was no longer possible for him to complete the sentence. He looked down in disbelief and saw a sword sink into his heart.

Yin Qiushui indifferently pulled out his long sword and let the blood of the guards spray his face.

She pushed the body away and walked over to the second guard outside the door.

......

When the distant sky was white, Yin Qiushui walked out alone with a wooden box and rode towards Kunyang City.

Behind her, the secret cave had become a real tomb, and there was not a single living person.

......

......

......

PS: I have to say, it's exhausting to write such a scene. After completing this question, I'm afraid I won't choose to write this kind of scene again.
