She had hardly seen any young women in the slum area outside the city gate just now, but now she realized that they had all gathered here.

Huo Lingdong was pushed and imprisoned in a semi-old courtyard in Yichun Xiaozhu.

There are three rooms in the courtyard, which are not considered shabby, but the smell on the tip of my nose is full of dust and decay, and no one should clean them every day.

There were no free tables and chairs, so she sat cross-legged on an old futon on the ground, her hands tied by the Immortal Binding, and could only hang in front of her.

…

She wasn't alone in the room.

Huo Lingdong lowered his eyes and looked at it secretly.

Previously, when he encountered seven rogue cultivators on the road near Qionghai Secret Realm, Qi Ci vaguely mentioned what these people were doing.

In the eyes of monks, men are yang and women are yin. Complementing each other's cultivation is beneficial to each other's practice. However, when one party is dominant and oppressive, the weaker party will become a furnace for supplementation.

Most of the methods in the world are to collect yin and replenish yang. These women who are used as furnaces have a miserable end.

Qi Ci looked very disgusted when he said it, and didn't go into much detail, but Huo Rendong remembered it.

This world is always particularly malicious towards women. Female monks who have been harvested have unstable foundations and have regressed in their cultivation, let alone ordinary people without magic power.

What Huo Lingdong didn't expect was that the monks from the Zhou family would be so vicious as to suck people alive.

…

There is a big Kang in the room, with six or seven women lying or sitting on it. There should be more in other courtyards. No one is talking at the moment, it is quiet.

All of them have good looks, but they all have gray complexions and thin bodies. The two with the most serious symptoms, Huo Lingdong, can clearly see the air of death filling the air.

"Creak-" There was a sound, and the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

A little girl who was only about six or seven years old struggled to walk in. She was dressed in shabby clothes and had a double bun. Her small body could barely carry a copper basin filled with water and a towel on it. The basin was even bigger than her face.

Be big.

The female doll walked in the direction of Huo Lingdong, but after all, she was too small and not strong enough to support it for a long time.

There was only a "bang" sound, the basin overturned, and the water inside spilled all over the floor.

She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and used her clothes to wipe the water on the ground. She was so hurried that she almost cried.

Seeing that she was skinny and skinny, Huo Rendong comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, those people won't come in and beat you."

The girl stood up holding the basin and looked at her with a timid face.

Huo Rendong showed a kind smile: "Little sister, are you a citizen of Zhoucheng?"

Seeing how approachable she was, the girl boldly said, "This is not Zhou City, this is He City."

Huo Lingdong nodded and asked her name again.

The female doll wiped her tears and replied softly: "My name is A Li, the pear of Tremella Pear Soup."

Before he could ask any more questions, he heard a rumbling sound in the little girl's belly, like a drum.

Ah Li quickly covered her face with both hands, not daring to look at her with a shy expression.

Huo Lingdong gestured to his waist: "Sister, there are candy balls in her belt. If you eat them, you won't be hungry."

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, she was afraid of strangers, but Huo Lingdong was really beautiful, and with her hands tied, it was obvious that she was not from the Zhou family. She was tempted by the huge attraction that could fill her stomach, and slowly moved to the futon.

Huo Lingdong's storage bag was taken away by Zhou Bin, but luckily she had the habit of carrying emergency items with her.

In addition to a few pieces of broken silver, a few pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, and a dozen Bigu Pills wrapped in oil paper, he had on his body.

I picked up a pear and chewed it carefully. As expected, my stomach felt warm and my body gained strength.

She was so grateful that her eyes changed as she looked over.

"Thank you sister!"

Huo Lingdong raised his hand again, motioning her to look at the rope on his wrist: "Good Ah Li, I was also captured by these evil people. Can you try to untie the rope?"

As expected, Ah Li tried it, but the magic weapon was of a high grade, and the little girl tried it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Sorry: "Sister, I can't untie it..."

Huo Lingdong smiled: "It doesn't matter, there are still a lot of candy balls. Ah Li will take them and share them with the other sisters."

The only little girl who could move freely nodded and ran away holding the oil paper bag.

Huo Lingdong sat cross-legged with a solemn expression.

The situation was much worse than she imagined.

She had just had another impact on her meridians, and her spiritual power was like a mud cow in the sea, without making any progress.

Binding the immortal is a method used by the immortal family. If the rope is not untied, she will have no choice but to become a mermaid.

Furthermore, Qi Ci didn't know if he saw the pearl flowers she left behind.

Will he...come to save her?

When I was in a state of confusion, someone suddenly spoke in the quiet room.

A woman sat up facing her direction, her face was ashen, but she could still tell that she had beautiful features and was very young.

"Girl, you came in from outside the city, right?"

"My name is Tian Wanrou. Have you seen my brother? He is easy to recognize. He has a scar on his face. He lives in a shed outside the city..."

After the first one spoke, other girls soon started asking her questions.

"And my father and mother, they are repairing the stone sculptures outside the city lord's palace. My father is lame."

"Girl, is my brother still alive? He..."

Huo Lingdong saw a pair of eyes filled with fear and sorrow, suppressed his messy thoughts, and spoke calmly.

"Dear girls, I was coerced into the city by the Zhou family, just for a quick glance. If you have anything to say, you'd better tell your family in person after I get out."

As soon as the words fell, someone in the dark room began to cry softly.

"go out?"

"How can we get out?"

"Everyone has to die here..."

In the atmosphere full of depression and despair, a hoarse and deep female voice sounded.

"The fairy must be a monk. I didn't expect that the Zhou family would dare to kidnap a female monk."

Huo Lingdong was a little surprised. She raised her head and saw the only woman sitting on the chair. She was helping Ah Li to recombine her head, with a heroic look on her face.

The woman looked at her with tired eyes: "My name is Fu Chunhua, and my father was the original lord of He City. I can tell you whatever you want to know."

Zhou City was not originally called this name. This was River City, a famous port city located on the banks of the Yangtze River. However, there was a drought in the past few years, so Old City Master Fu went around praying for rain, and his prayers came to the head of the Zhou family.

This week, the head of the Zhou family is somewhat capable. It really rained, but the people of Hecheng didn't know that the rain brought not a good harvest, but a nightmare with no peace.

"The Zhou family occupied the houses in the city and drove the people out of their homes, leaving only some merchants who paid the reward." Fu Chunhua looked painful.

"Zhou Lin pushed my father, uncle, and uncle all into the river. My younger brother was just six years old at the time. I originally had three beautiful cousins, but now... I am the only one left in the Fu family."

The sobbing in the room didn't know when it would stop, and the air became stagnant as if it were solid.

Huo Lingdong suddenly raised her hand, and the fairy binding on her wrist shone slightly with golden light, reflecting the moonlight outside the window.

Her voice was clear: "If you untie this rope, I can take you away."

Everyone was stunned.

Ah Li bit her fingers in confusion, while the other women looked thoughtful or even suspicious.

Only Fu Chunhua believed it. She struggled to sit up: "Fairy, are you serious?"

"Be true to your words and be resolute in your deeds."

That night, no one brought them food. Only a lecherous man wanted to come in, but Huo Lingdong kicked his chin off and threw him out of the house.

The women in the room were all stunned and even more convinced of her.

Only Huo Lingdong knew, thanks to Qi Ci's strictness in practicing swordsmanship.

*

Branches above the moon.

Huo Lingdong sat quietly all night, and when it was completely bright, there were many people moving outside the house.

The thin man I met yesterday looked around and saw that she didn't run or resist. He was very satisfied and ordered Ali.

"Take care of her and bring her out."

After saying that, he threw something down and slammed the door.

Ah Li went to pick up the baggage in a daze, and saw a new red dress inside. The little girl was stunned, and then seemed to recall some bad memory, and threw the baggage away.

She rushed over and tried her best to break the rope around Huo Lingdong's wrist with tears in her eyes.

"Ali?"
