The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 114 Teasing
"What a fast silver needle!"

This was the last thought that flashed through Huang Zhonggong's mind as he fell on the zither table. He then slammed his head on the strings, making a clanging sound.

After dealing with the last person, Mu Sheng strolled back to the house in the center of the manor.

When I walked in, I found that there was no one inside and I couldn't help but frown.

Where did Xiang Wentian go? Why hasn’t he arrived here in such a long time?
When Xiang Wentian arrived, he saw Mu Sheng sitting on the armchair in the middle of the hall, tapping the table with his fingers.

Mu Sheng looked at the bald man in front of him with a bad face: "I told you to wait here, where have you been? You can't even do such a small thing. If I expect you to save Ren Woxing, he would have died a long time ago."

"This is me."

Xiang Wentian stammered and was unable to speak. He couldn't just say that he didn't believe you, old man. Saying that would probably make things even more miserable.

"Forget it, no need to explain. I'm too lazy to listen. I'm going to save Ren Woxing. You go and bring these people here. If I don't see you when I come back, you can stay in Plum Manor."

Mu Sheng disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. Xiang Wentian looked at the other party's elusive figure, opened his mouth and closed it again.

He was stunned for a few seconds, then ran out in a hurry.

In a remote room in the manor, Mu Sheng lifted up a bed board, and an iron plate with a copper ring appeared in front of him. After pulling open the iron plate, the entrance to a tunnel appeared in front of him.

After discovering some suspicious locations through the perspective of the crows, Mu Sheng had been using his mental power to scan when he had just cleared Meizhuang, and soon found an entrance to the dungeon.

He jumped into the tunnel and walked forward all the way, and soon reached the end. Mu Sheng slapped the wall, and the force triggered a mechanism, and a secret door was immediately opened.

Continuing along the passage, there would be a door blocking the way from time to time. Mu Sheng walked for hundreds of feet before he reached the entrance of the dungeon where Ren Woxing was imprisoned.

Mu Sheng roughly estimated that this place was probably under the West Lake. The height of the tunnel was getting lower and lower, and the walls and the ground were extremely damp. No one knew how it was dug out.

In this kind of environment, an ordinary person or someone with insufficient internal strength would probably not survive long. Ren Woxing has been locked up here for more than ten years, and even if he were still alive, he would have suffered from a lot of illnesses.

Thinking about being locked up here for more than ten years, Mu Sheng couldn't help but shudder. That would be too miserable, a life worse than death.

Fortunately, he couldn't be held in an ordinary cell, at least not in the West Lake dungeon.

There was a one-foot-long hole on Ren Woxing's cell door. Mu Sheng looked inside through the hole. It was pitch black and he could not see anything. He only smelled a moldy smell.

That’s right, Mu Sheng was using his mental power to scan the entire time and didn’t turn on the lights, so of course he couldn’t see anything.

The ventilation in such a confined space was very poor. Mu Sheng thought about it and decided not to turn on the light. He shouted directly into the room:

"Is Ren Woxing here? Is Ren Woxing here?"

The space was already closed, and Mu Sheng's loud shouting immediately caused a large amount of sound waves to gather in the cell.

"Shut up. Who the hell is yelling there? You're killing me." An old voice came from the cell.

"Are you willing to let me do this?" Mu Shengbala asked at the entrance of the prison door.

"No, it's your grandfather! Get out!" the old voice roared angrily.

"Ah, you are not Ren Woxing, okay, I'm leaving now. It's strange, Ren Woxing is not here, then why did Yingying ask me to come here to save her father."

Mu Sheng said this and turned to leave the cell door. His voice became smaller and smaller, but it was clearly heard in the cell.

The sound of iron and stone knocking against each other suddenly rang out from the cell, and the old man in the cell shouted loudly:
"Wait, who is Yingying you are talking about?"

Mu Sheng stopped and moved back to the cell door: "Are you talking to me?"

"Nonsense, who else is here besides you? Tell me who the Yingying you are talking about is?"

The old voice asked anxiously. Ren Woxing became a little excited when he suddenly heard his daughter's name.

"Yingying is my future wife. She was the one who asked me to come here to save my future father-in-law, but he wasn't here, so I made a wasted trip."

'Yingying's husband?'

"Yes, considering the time, Yingying is also at the age of marriage. I don't know if she is doing well."

Ren Woxing couldn't help but fall into thought, and at the same time became alert.

Although he did not take the martial arts of the four owners of Meizhuang seriously, they were all masters who had been famous in the world for many years.

This man said that he was Yingying's husband, and from his voice he didn't seem very old. He appeared here alone. Could it be that the traitor Dongfang Bubai was plotting something?

"You said Yingying asked you to save me, how did you deal with the four owners of Mei Manor?"

"That's it!" Mu Sheng said as he fired a bullet into the opening of the cell door.

After a slight "puff" sound, there was a sound of dragging iron chains coming from inside.

Ren Woxing listened to the sound and moved to the place where the sound came from. He felt the wall with his hand and soon found a small hole. The entrance of the hole was smooth and round without a single cut.

I tried to probe with my fingers, but found that the hole was too small to fit in. After thinking for a while, I pulled out a few strands of hair, rolled them into thin strips, and inserted them into the hole. When I felt resistance, I immediately pulled the hair out, and after comparing with my hands, I found that the hole was about one foot deep.

Judging from the size of the hole, it should be a hidden weapon like a flying nail.

Then he thought about how he only heard the sound of the flying nails hitting the wall, and didn't notice the other party's attack at all. With such a hidden weapon and such internal strength, the four losers in Meizhuang would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Is this person really someone Yingying has brought here? Never mind, let's get out first.

"Good boy, what a powerful hidden weapon. I am Ren Woxing, and the person Yingying asked you to save is me."

"Didn't you just say that you weren't? Now you change your words. I don't believe you. Forget it, I'd better leave." Mu Sheng looked as if he didn't believe him and was about to leave.

"Wait, you said that Yingying asked you to come here to save her father. I am the only one imprisoned in this dungeon. Who else could it be but me? If you just leave like this, how are you going to explain to Yingying when you go back?"

Ren Woxing heard the footsteps and quickly tried to dissuade them, "I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you."

"You don't have to apologize. If you are really my father-in-law, then we are a family. These are nothing. But how do you prove that you are Ren Woxing?"

Mu Sheng hesitated for a while and then spoke again, still not quite believing it.

"Didn't Yingying describe to you what I look like? Light the oil lamp and look at me." Ren Woxing quickly thought of a way to prove it.

"I didn't bring a tinderbox, so I can't light the oil lamp." Mu Sheng's voice was full of innocence.

"You didn't bring the fire box? Then how did you get in here?" Ren Woxing asked anxiously.

"I just groped my way down like this, but you reminded me, so you wait here, I'll go up and get the tinderbox."

Mu Sheng said this and quickly left the dungeon, completely ignoring Ren Woxing's calls to keep him.

Scanning with his mental power, he found the dark and narrow tunnel posed no obstacle to him and he soon returned to the ground.

After covering the tunnel entrance with the iron plate again, Mu Sheng headed towards the house in the center of the manor.

As for Ren Woxing, let him wait a little longer down there.

When Mu Sheng returned to the hall, Xiang Wentian had already brought the Four Friends of Jiangnan and Ding Jian to the hall.

"Young Master Mu, didn't you find Master Ren?" Xiang Wentian asked with concern when he saw Mu Sheng coming back alone.

"Father-in-law, I found it. It's in the dungeon?" Mu Sheng replied casually.

"So there is no key? Do we need to interrogate the Four Friends of Jiangnan?" Xiang Wentian guessed.

"Oh, yes, yes, that's right. I'm going to use secret methods to interrogate you. You go out first." Mu Sheng picked up Huang Zhong Gong without even looking at Xiang Wentian, and waved his hand to let him leave.

Xiang Wentian wanted to ask about the location of the dungeon, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. He obediently went out and carefully closed the door.

After a while, a strange sound was heard in the room, like someone was talking, or like a madman was talking nonsense.

After a long time, Mu Sheng came out of the room with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'm going to go save my father-in-law. You just wait here." Then he left without looking back.

Xiang Wentian looked at Mu Sheng's disappearing back and walked into the room curiously. He saw that several people in the room had woken up, but they all looked devastated and were mumbling to themselves about something.

"What a horrible interrogation method!" Xiang Wentian couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at the appearance of those people.

In the dungeon corridor, Mu Sheng walked while pondering the several martial arts he had just acquired.

Apart from Huang Zhonggong's Seven-String Invisible Sword, the only interesting martial arts among the other people's martial arts is Hei Baizi's Xuantian Finger.

It can melt water into ice, but it can only be regarded as an internal force technique. It is still inferior to Zuo Lengchan's icy true qi.

At this time, Ren Woxing in the cell was also somewhat emotionally broken, walking back and forth in the cell dragging his chains.

It would be fine if there is no hope when you are in a desperate situation, but when you clearly see hope and then have it destroyed, it is a huge blow to your spirit.

Seeing that Mu Sheng had been away for such a long time and had not returned, Ren Woxing couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts again. He felt that his internal energy was a little out of control due to his mental disorder.

"This tunnel isn't that long. We should have returned long ago after such a long time. Is it possible that the tinderbox is hard to find?"

"That's not right. There's no way a plum manor this big doesn't have a tinderbox. Even if there isn't, there should be something else that can start a fire, right?"

"Is this Dongfang Bubai's evil plan to get something from me?"

Just as Ren Woxing was daydreaming, a familiar sound of footsteps sounded outside the cell again.

"My dear nephew, you are back. Have you found the tinderbox?"
