Chapter 52: Psychedelic Thousand Machine Array
The old man was very surprised to see Deng Youning coming to him in person.
When he glanced at Li Tianzhuo, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and immediately became shocked and stunned.
It also feels like meeting someone you haven't seen for a long time.
Deng Youning sneered.
This Lord Li is indeed handsome, even the 70-year-old lady is fond of him.
Li Tianzhuo naturally also noticed the weirdness in the old lady's eyes.
"We promise to rescue your son first."
"But in order to prevent you from doing something secretly, you must take our poison."
He signaled Deng Youning to take out the poison.
It has always been Li Tianzhuo who threatens others, and with Deng Youning by his side, he must eliminate all hidden dangers in advance.
Deng Youning touched her waist.
"If this poison is not cured within three days, you will die."
"Take us to the mines, and after we escape successfully, I will give you the antidote."
The old man was also a tough guy. He took the pill and swallowed it without thinking.
The faces of the three people present were a little pale.
They had a hunch that this old lady was no ordinary woman.
When she was leaving, for some reason, the old lady took an umbrella with her.
The old lady took them, Yingshi, and two secret guards hiding in the dark, and returned to the mine along the same route.
The route they took was the same one that Li Tianzhuo had just taken with the county magistrate and others.
"Are you sure this path leads to the real cave?"
Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
"Don't worry, sir. There is a Thousand Machine Array at the end of the forest. Only after breaking the array can the way out be revealed."
The old man kept explaining, but his feet didn't stop.
Although she is old, her walking speed is no slower than those young people who know martial arts.
"Thousand Machine Array?"
Deng Youning murmured.
"You know?"
Li Tianzhuo asked suspiciously.
Deng Youning shook his head, "I know there is a Qianji Pavilion in the ghost market."
Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but laugh, "What's this? There is a Qianji Villa in the martial arts world!"
Hearing this, Deng Youning suddenly remembered that on the day of the Li family auction, Li Qinghuan had also mentioned Qianji Villa.
They are both named Qianji, I wonder what the connection is?
This forest was also one that Li Tianzhuo had just been to. The forest was not big and one could see the end at a glance, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
This time when he came in, he found that there was fog everywhere around him.
The two secret guards were walking in the dark and probably didn't catch up with them, so they disappeared.
"Don't worry, there's no poison in the fog!"
Deng Youning was a little timid when she saw Ying and reminded her.
After hearing what she said, the old lady sneered.
Her malicious smile made the three of them feel creepy instantly.
Li Tianzhuo frowned. Could it be that they were really fooled?
"It's true that there is no poison, but there are knife threads!"
The old lady's voice was gloomy, and she stopped walking after she finished speaking.
She grabbed a handful of leaves around her and threw them forward with force.
With the naked eye, it can be seen that there seem to be countless invisible sharp threads in front, cutting the leaves into pieces.
I can’t imagine what would happen if someone went in rashly.
Li Tianzhuo suspected that his secret guard came back in such a miserable state because he encountered this formation.
The thread was difficult to discern with the naked eye, not to mention the interference of fog around it, so the three of them were immediately in trouble.
The old lady glanced at them with disdain, ran forward quickly, and opened her umbrella and threw it into the air just before it touched the knife wire.
She leaped into the air and caught the umbrella as it continued to rise.
It was like walking on the wind, running quickly in the air, occasionally tiptoeing on the top of a tree to gain leverage.
All three were stunned.
What a high level of martial arts skill this person has!
Flying with the wind using an umbrella?
Before Luo knew it, the old lady had already reached the other side of the formation.
She swung the umbrella back towards Deng Youning and the others, signaling them to do the same.
"Is there no way to break this formation?"
Li Tianzhuo shouted loudly at the old lady on the opposite side.
Even if they are good at martial arts and lightness skills and can get through, what about the other members of the Silver Dragon Guard?
The old lady found it funny.
If she had a way to break the formation, why would she ask them for help to rescue people?
Li Tianzhuo: "Ningning, don't move here, I'll go over and take a look first."
Of course Deng Youning would not compromise like this.
She had been observing the threads.
Not only is it sharp and compact, but it is also constantly changing positions.
However, it was precisely because of this that she found the pattern.
The silk thread was not made out of thin air; its two ends must have been tied to the trees on both sides.
"Look carefully at these silk threads and the trees. When the silk threads change, do you feel that the position of the trees is also moving?"
Deng Youning pulled Li Tianzhuo over and asked him to take a closer look.
After hearing what they said, the old lady opposite also stared with cross-eyed eyes and looked carefully.
This is the subtlety of this formation!
There is no one in the world who can communicate with gods, and no one who knows magic. So how can a tree that is rooted in the ground and is quite heavy be moved at will without the help of magic?
"There's still poison in this fog, a hallucinogenic poison!"
Deng Youning confirmed.
She took out a detoxifying pill made from her own blood and jujube paste and gave one to Li Tianzhuo and Ying Shi.
"This is my homemade Hundred Poison Solution, it can cure common poisons."
Yingshi ate it without thinking much, believing that the young lady would not harm her.
Li Tianzhuo hesitated, because he knew that the medicine was Deng Youning's blood.
He looked at Deng Youning with pity, and couldn't help but pull her hand, roll up her sleeves, and look at the scars on her arms from cuts.
"Don't think too much, just eat."
He knew the secret that his blood could cure all kinds of poisons when he first met her as a child.
Deng Youning picked up the pill and fed it to Li Tianzhuo personally.
When my cold fingers touched his warm lips, both of their heartbeats quickened.
At this time, Ying Shi, who had already taken the antidote, was not affected by the hallucinations and had easily passed through the Thousand Machine Array.
"Miss, hurry up--"
Sakura urged.
If you don't hurry up, the sun will set!
Deng Youning felt a little embarrassed and kept a distance from Li Tianzhuo, passing through quickly.
"This Thousand Machine Formation looks like a product of stealing someone's skills. I've seen the real Thousand Machine Formation in Thousand Machine Villa. Even without the illusion to cover it, one would have to be a person with great physical skills to pass through it!"
"It seems that Qianji Villa has nothing to do with this matter."
After Li Tianzhuo came over, he explained his idea to everyone.
Keep going forward and you will go up the mountain.
Li Tianzhuo also found this road familiar, but he knew very well that it was not the same as the fake cave entrance, but was just built the same way.
I guess it's to conceal their tracks.
Everyone is looking for their own reference points, trying to remember this path.
Seeing them like this, the old lady chuckled and reminded:
"As long as we pass the Thousand Machine Array just now, we won't get lost again."
"Keep going. Look, it's right in front of you."
Following her gaze, I looked up and found that it was just a matter of climbing up another flight of stone steps.
The people who were holding hands around were no longer hiding in the dark, but standing in groups of three or five at the entrance of the cave.
"I'll go over and knock them out first."
Deng Youning gave Li Tianzhuo and Ying Shi a look and then slipped away first.
Just these few minions are not enough to fill her bottle of poison.
Seeing Deng Youning's smooth operations, the old lady showed satisfaction in her eyes.
She glanced at Li Tianzhuo again.
When she was in the village, she thought Deng Youning was just an ordinary noble lady, but she didn't expect that she had such high skills and was so capable!
Now when she looked at her and Li Tianzhuo again, the more she looked, the more she felt that they were a perfect match.
The man who was once the best young master in Nanxin Kingdom should be matched with such a dashing lady.
