Chapter 241 Lord Song bravely breaks into the plum blossom formation!
Chu Yuni looked at the black pill and without thinking much, she took the pill and swallowed it.
Seeing him so straightforward, Zhong Nanyan's eyebrows moved slightly, "You are quite courageous. Do you dare to tell my father?"
"Senior is a reasonable person, there is nothing I dare not do."
"Okay, follow me to the back hill."
Seeing Zhong Nanyue taking a step forward, Chu Yuni hurriedly followed.
Things have developed to this point, he must take everyone away from here.
If he forced his way out, he would suffer losses regardless of success or failure, and would also make enemies with the Medicine King and his daughter. Now that Zhong Nanyue was willing to give him some trust, he would do his best to ensure that everyone could get out without any effort.
If the King of Medicine allows, that would be great.
"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, where did you get the wine?" Zhong Nanyue glanced at Chu Yuni and rolled her eyes, "A grown man, lying on the ground howling like a ghost, with his hair messed up like a chicken coop, why don't you tidy it up!"
Chu Yuni raised her hand and ruffled her hair when she heard that. "Although you didn't give me any wine, Aunt Liu, the cook, has some. I helped her chop firewood for the whole afternoon, and she gave me a small jar."
Zhong Nanyan snorted coldly, "You really took the trouble to drink away your sorrows."
"I am really worried, I am not acting." Chu Yuni whispered, "Your father is good to you, and my father is also good to me. If my father knew that I was locked up and ordered around, he would feel sorry for me."
Zhong Nanyue didn't say anything else.
She has always been willful and did things according to her own preferences. In the past, her fellow apprentices had always given in to her and allowed her to be beaten and scolded. None of them had ever seen anyone like Chu Yuni who was brave enough to resist and throw a tantrum under the influence of alcohol.
She thought she treated him well, but she never considered that he was also someone else's child. If she left him in Medicine King Valley for his whole life, he would be separated from his family for a long time and would surely resent her. In the future...
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Since he was going to take her to experience the pleasures of the outside world, she gave him a chance.
It not only fulfills him, but also fulfills herself.
This is a good opportunity to have a good chat with my dad.
The two of them went up to Medicine King's attic. Zhong Nanyan raised her hand and knocked open the door. Medicine King was poking a few scorpions with wooden chopsticks. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and glanced at her: "Can you open the door more gently next time? You knocked and kicked the door, and now it's broken. I asked you to fix it."
"Dad, I want to go out." Zhong Nanyue said straight to the point.
The Medicine King's face changed slightly. He lowered his head and put the scorpion back into the jar. Then he looked at Chu Yuni coldly, "Does this guy not want to stay with you anymore and wants to trick you into going out with him? What sweet words did he say to you? Let me hear them too."
"He didn't want to kidnap me." Zhong Nanyan sat down and looked at the Medicine King steadily. "I asked you before why we couldn't go see the outside world. You said that people outside were treacherous and calculating, so you found such a paradise to spend the rest of your life."
"Isn't what I said right?" Medicine King said coldly, "Do you know how much your father suffered when he was young? What brothers and friends are all jokes! They all say nice things, but they abandon morality for the sake of profit. Friends of many years are like this, let alone this brat who has only known you for a few days?"
The Medicine King gnashed his teeth when he said this, "I should not have saved him if I had known!"
"You have said these words to me many times. I know you have been betrayed and you know that you should not trust others easily. That is why I have studied your skills seriously over the years. My fellow apprentices listen to me not only because of my peerless beauty, but also because they admire my abilities, right?"
"With my current martial arts and ability to control poisons, am I not worthy of going out on my own? If I can only live in Medicine King Valley for the rest of my life, what is the point of me learning so many skills?"
"Of course this is my home, but can't I ever go out and see the world in my lifetime? My memory of the outside world is almost blurred now. I have lived here with you since I was six years old, and it has been fifteen years! Dad, my fellow apprentices have all gone to the city to play, but I didn't! You said you did it to protect me, but have you ever thought about how curious I am about the outside world?"
"It wasn't Chu Yuni who instigated me. I've wanted to go out for a long time. He just pushed me. Even if this Medicine King Valley is huge, I've been around it and learned a lot of skills. Can you just let me go out and play for a while?"
Listening to Zhong Nanyue's pleading, the King of Medicine pursed his lips and remained silent.
"I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that I will be deceived. I have already given this kid the Soul-Severing Pill. If he dares to deceive me, he will be dead."
Upon hearing this, the King of Medicine walked up to Chu Yuni and took his pulse.
"You are a cautious girl." Medicine King snorted coldly, "Even if this boy is willing to treat you well, how can you guarantee that those other people will not bully you?"
Chu Yuni heard this and immediately took over the conversation, "Junior can swear here..."
"Shut up! If swearing a poisonous oath worked, there would be countless people killed by lightning every day."
The Medicine King sneered, "You persuaded Yan'er to take her out to play, just to gain freedom. I can give you this opportunity, it depends on whether you can pass my test."
"I wonder what test you are talking about?"
"Medicine King Valley is located in the wilderness. Although it is remote and hard to find, we are still vigilant. In order to prevent any bad guys from invading one day, we have to use mechanical devices. In addition to the three mechanical walls at the entrance of the manor, the plum blossom formation in the backyard is also quite interesting. If you can crack it, I will let you go."
Hearing the words "plum blossom formation", Zhong Nanyue frowned.
"The Plum Blossom Formation is so unpredictable and mysterious that it is hard to understand. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for them?"
"If the test I give them is too easy, wouldn't it seem like I look down on them?"
The King of Medicine said calmly, "Tell them my original words. I will see if they have the courage."
…
"Plum Blossom Formation?"
Inside the bamboo house, Song Yunchu listened to what Chu Yuni brought back and said in surprise, "It sounds like a kind of mechanical technique."
Although Song Yunchu looked surprised, she had a plan in mind. She turned her head and glanced at Jun Liluo with a smile in her eyes.
[The Plum Blossom Formation was originally the formation that Jun Tianyi had to go through when he asked Zhong Nanyan to come out of the valley for help. It was a mechanism that Medicine King painstakingly designed. After Jun Tianyi successfully passed the formation, he also gained a lot.]
[Although the Medicine King is arrogant, he still recognizes and praises capable juniors. Jun Tianyi was covered in wounds after breaking out of the Plum Blossom Formation. The Medicine King, for Zhong Nanyan's sake, not only treated his wounds, but also gave him his treasured Iceberg Green Lotus and asked him to take good care of Zhong Nanyan.]
[Now that we have encountered this plot, it is really a stroke of luck. When Jun Tianyi passed the level, he was alone, but we have five people, so the difficulty will be much lower than his. ]
[In Medicine King's opinion, the more people there are, the more chaos there will be. However, for me, the more people there are, the better.]
Seeing that she was confident, Jun Liluo curled the corners of his lips at her.
"This plum blossom formation is weird and dangerous. It's easy to get hurt."
Zhong Nanyue said in a deep voice, "My fellow apprentices have tried it, and they were all beaten to tears. There are a total of thirty-six fake plum trees in the plum blossom formation, and the branches are covered with thorns. If you hit your face, disfigurement is considered minor. In serious cases, you may be blinded. My fellow apprentices all wore masks when they went there. As for you... my father doesn't plan to give you any protective gear."
"I want to go out and play, so I hope you can pass the test, but I can't help you at the moment. I can only remind you that if you really can't get through, just give up. At worst, I can go and test him a few more times."
"It's dark now, you should get some rest. You will be able to see the plum blossom formation tomorrow morning."
After Zhong Nanyan left, Chu Yuni said, "How about I try it tomorrow? If it's too difficult, you guys don't have to try it, lest we all get hurt. I believe I can move Senior Medicine King with my sincerity."
"By the time you move him, the opportunity will be gone."
Song Yunchu said, patting Chu Yuni on the shoulder, "You have done a good job, and you have won such an opportunity. It is better to resolve things peacefully than to start a war."
"Your Excellency, it sounds as if we can definitely go out tomorrow..."
"My power has recovered 60% to 70%." Song Yunchu said, "Many mechanical formations test the agility of the body. Although I am not in my prime now, as long as we work together, we will succeed. You must also have confidence in yourselves."
Seeing Song Yunchu calm and composed, everyone felt much more at ease.
The night passed in a flash.
The next day, everyone got up early and found that today's breakfast was particularly rich.
There were not only rice porridge, steamed buns and pancakes, but also several unknown snacks. It was the best meal in the past few days.
"The plum blossom formation in the backyard has been activated. Senior Sister said that you should eat more. Only when you are full will you have the strength to take the beating."
Song Yunchu chuckled softly.
The King of Medicine’s thoughts at this moment were probably the same as Zhong Nanyue’s.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they were led by the Seventh Junior Brother to the spacious backyard, where each person was given a sword.
Even though Song Yunchu had imagined what the formation would look like, he couldn't help but admire it when he saw it with his own eyes.
The scene before her was much richer and more bizarre than what she had imagined.
Just as Zhong Nanyue said, the thirty-six plum trees moved in a disorderly manner on the ground, and their petals fluttered in the breeze. If one ignored the thorns on the branches, it would be a beautiful sight.
Song Yunchu picked up a petal and observed it. It was made of paper.
No wonder the King of Medicine has never been bored all these years. He had enough of traveling when he was young, and when he reached middle age and old age, studying mechanical engineering was enough for him to pass the time. How long would it take him to fold so many petals?
"It's incredible." Chen Yue looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, "These trees must be pulled by mechanisms underground. I wonder how much energy it would take to make such a complex and huge array of mechanisms."
Chu Yuni looked at the plum tree that kept moving in front of her and was confused for a moment.
There is a long section from one end to the other. The plum tree is unpredictable and I wonder if he will be dizzy after entering.
While he was thinking about it, Song Yunchu beside him moved and rushed in.
Chu Yuni's eyes widened.
This hasn't even been discussed yet, why did Lord Song go in first?
What surprised him even more was yet to come.
Although the position of the plum trees was changing unpredictably, it was not dizzying. After Song Yunchu entered, the speed of the plum trees actually increased. Seeing that a tree was about to hit Song Yunchu, Chu Yuni's heart rose to her throat.
Jun Li Luo moved his feet and was about to rush in, but then he remembered Song Yunchu's instructions last night.
She said - let me try first, no one of you should act rashly, especially you.
So he calmed himself down, and at the same time Song Yunchu avoided the head-on impact of the plum tree and cut off a branch of the plum tree with the sword in his hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
As the plum tree changed, Song Yunchu was also dodging constantly. What puzzled everyone was that in the process of dodging the plum tree, Song Yunchu always had to chop off a branch.
"It seems like Brother Song is quite relaxed, but why did he cut those branches?"
"She is making marks." Jun Liluo took over the conversation, his eyes fixed on Song Yunchu's figure in the plum blossom formation.
"The key to cracking the plum blossom formation should be on a certain plum tree. She has already cut off the branches of eight plum trees. After eliminating these eight, there are still 28 trees left. When she gets tired, she will come out, and we will take turns eliminating the rest."
Listening to Jun Liluo's explanation, Zhong Nanyan was stunned. "How can you understand my father's mechanical skills? Are you just guessing?"
Even she didn't know how to break the Plum Blossom Formation, so how could these two people figure it out?
It must be a guess.
At the same time, at the attic window behind everyone, Medicine King looked at the changing figures in the Plum Blossom Formation with astonishment.
His knuckles gripped the window frame, and he trembled slightly.
What surprised him was not only that Song Yunchu had understood his mechanical skills, but more so his footwork.
It looks like a ghost and is unstoppable. This is the true secret of Piaomiao!
What is the relationship between this person and Hua Yueman?
He had long heard that Hua Yueman had another disciple. A few years after Hua Yueman's death, he asked people to inquire about him, but there was no news. He thought that rumors were just rumors after all, and perhaps Hua Yueman did not accept any disciples.
But after many years, he saw the moves of Piao Miao Zhen Jue again...
If this person is really the disciple of an old friend, it can be said to be fate that they meet in this way.
Just as the Medicine King was thinking this, he saw Song Yunchu withdraw from the Plum Blossom Formation.
"Yunchu, are you okay?" Jun Liluo saw sweat on Song Yunchu's forehead and looked worried.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. It's time to change."
Song Yunchu whispered, "These thirty-six plum trees are exactly the same. The most important one can close the formation. It is a little different from the other plum trees. The trunks of other plum trees are extremely hard, but its trunk is hollow. It is used to set up the mechanism, so the structural layer is thinner than other plum trees and can be pierced."
"I cut off the branches of twelve plum trees. None of them are the key ones. You can take turns to work on the remaining ones. If you get tired, you can switch. It's fine if you can try two or three at a time."
"Brother Song, you take a rest, I'll do it!" Zhao Jingheng responded enthusiastically and rushed into the plum blossom formation with a sword in hand.
Seeing this, the King of Medicine raised his eyebrows.
He really underestimated these guys. He originally wanted to make them lose their composure and inflict some physical injuries on them to keep them in line, but he didn't expect that they would adopt the optimal solution.
They all seemed to be following the instructions of the young man just now.
Thinking of this, the Medicine King's gaze fell on Song Yunchu and he smiled with admiration.
As expected of Hua Yueman's disciple, he is both brave and resourceful.
