Looking at the seemingly ordinary trees in Huachao Garden that had withered due to the cold winter, the young man in green shirt moved, riding on the smoke and stepping on the snow, he arrived in one leap and stood on the dead tree in Huachao Garden, concentrating on guard and looking sideways. , I didn’t see any movement, and I was a little relieved.
It seems that my guess is good. These trees are where the internal mechanism of Huachaoyuan is located. However, I need to sneak into Huachaoyuan and thoroughly understand how this mechanism is triggered and how it hurts the enemy. Only then can I safely rescue the Fairy in the Mist. .
After thinking about this, Gu Xiao leaned over the dead tree and carefully examined the dead tree under his feet. Just now he tested it with a stone and found that the dead tree made the sound of gold. This time he was closer to the ground and stretched out his hand to touch it. Know why the goldware makes the sound.
He put a little force on the dead tree with his fingers and pulled off the "bark" to reveal the inside. He found that the whole body of the dead tree was actually made of iron. He twisted the piece of "bark" he pulled off in his hand. Gu Xiao couldn't help but secretly admired this. The skilled craftsman used clay and rice paste to form the appearance of a tree using a secret method of waterproofing. If he had not heard the conversation between the two men in gold and silver just now, he would not have been able to discover the mystery of this dead tree.
This dead tree was cast in one piece. Gu Xiao could not see the mechanism inside, so he had to take out Broken Moon from the sword case behind him, and stabbed down hard with his sights on the treetops at his feet.
Broken Moon is extremely sharp. Not to mention this ordinary iron, even a famous soldier in the world can't resist it. Broken Moon broke through the top of the dead tree instantly like breaking bamboo. Gu Xiao used his internal strength and pried hard, and the dead tree was broken open instantly. A cut.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Gu Xiao frowned and looked inward. He saw ratchet wheels of different sizes stacked together. There were threads as thin as hair wrapped around these ratchet wheels. The threads were extremely thin. If not Look carefully, otherwise you really can't find it.
"This kind of mechanism is really clever. No wonder I didn't discover it just now." Gu Xiao looked along the faint thread on the ratchet, and saw that the thread stretched out along the branches and hung down in the snow on the ground. Then he looked again Looking at the dead trees around, I saw transparent threads on the dead branches of these trees, all hanging down, hidden in the snow on the ground.
Gu Xiao put the sword away in the box and thought to himself: "No wonder, I never saw how the waist knife was disconnected. This thread is not easy to find, and it is even harder to show when the snow is covering the night. It seems that the ground under the courtyard wall is covered with snow. There is a mechanism in Zhongding. If it is stepped on by an external force, the mechanism will be triggered. As these ratchet wheels rotate, several threads shrink instantly, like sharp blades, cutting into pieces the person who sneaks in... What a good mechanism."
Now that he had figured out the mystery of this mechanism, Gu Xiao decided to rush in. In order to prevent himself from touching the mechanism in the garden under the tree, he had to look at the distance between the two trees and use Qinggong to jump away. . .
After landing on the treetops on the other side, Gu Xiao looked back and saw that the mechanism hanging from the dead branches had not been triggered. Then he was completely relieved and prepared to continue using Qinggong into the Flower Garden.
Unexpectedly, before the Qing Gong was used, there was a faint movement under his feet. Gu Xiao's eyes showed alertness, he suddenly turned around, turned over and drew the sword in one breath, and the flames burst out from the edge of the Broken Moon Sword lying across his chest, and a powerful force burst out. It also followed Broken Moon and passed into the hands of the young man holding the sword.
Gu Xiao tried his best to resist the oppressive force coming from the silk thread. He frowned, glanced slightly from the corner of his eye, and his ears moved slightly. He could already feel a few subtle sounds coming from behind him. He no longer cared about the strong force coming from the Qingfeng in his hand. He used his inner strength to spread out a little, and found a little space to turn over.
Turning over for a moment, he took the opportunity to look at the treetop where he stood just now, and he saw clearly that the place where he stood was already crisscrossed with dozens of silk threads, and those threads shone with a little cold light under the faint moonlight.
Before Gu Xiao had time to think about how he had triggered such mechanisms, he had already fallen to the ground, and Gu Xiao secretly thought something was wrong. . .
Sure enough, just in the blink of an eye, the faint sound of ratcheting came from several dead trees beside him. Gu Xiaoxing's eyes were full of fear, and he had no time to think about whether it would disturb the gold and silver in Hejiabao. After taking off his clothes, he immediately waved his hand to cut off the moon, instantly weaving layers of moonlight sword nets around himself.
The piercing golden sharp sound instantly filled Gu Xiao's eardrums, and he was busy using the cloud to rise, but his hand was locked by several tightening forces. The force of the sky was merged with the force from his hand, which almost disturbed Gu Xiao. The sword in his hand flew away.
Holding the hilt of the sword with all his strength, Gu Xiao could see the full picture of these threads. Dozens of threads were tightly wrapped around Broken Moon on the surrounding dead branches. Seeing this clearly, Gu Xiao couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that Broken Moon was lucky. It was a supreme divine weapon. Even though the sharp sound made by the friction between the silk thread and the blade was harsh, it still could not hurt Zangyue at all.
Gu Xiao could not abandon his sword and leave, so he had to fight against the power of several ratchets with his own strength. As time passed, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Gu Xiao's forehead.
His mind was spinning rapidly. Gu Xiao remembered that he had seen the mechanism ratchet structure in the tree on the first mechanism tree. He thought that the strength that was equal to the internal strength of his robot must come from those ratchets. If he wanted to escape, he had to break it. The ratchets in these trees had already made up their minds, Gu Xiao channeled the internal energy in his dantian and transferred it to the Qingfeng in his hand.
Broken Moon gained the master's inner strength, and suddenly the moonlight on the sword blade became strong, making a slight sword cry. Those threads that were originally tightly trapping Broken Moon, when the moonlight climbed onto the Broken Moon sword blade, there was an instant harsh sound. Again, although the sound was not loud, it was enough for the gold and silver guards in Hua Chao Garden to hear clearly.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao knew that he could not drag it on any longer, so he shouted lowly, and while his internal energy was pouring into the sword's edge, he used his strength to pull Duan Yue away from the layers of silk threads. However, as he pulled out Duan Yue, he and the long sword were originally restrained from each other. The threads retreated quickly, and in just a moment, the sound of ratchets in the mechanism tree interlaced rapidly sounded, and the threads that had retreated silently attacked Gu Xiao again.
The silk thread was extremely thin, and with the cover of the night, Gu Xiao would not have been able to determine the direction of the incoming attack if it weren't for the subtle sound of breaking through the air. He could only see the green shirt rising slightly on the snow to avoid the incoming mechanism thread.
But just when he stood up, he suddenly found that another thread had reached in front of him. In a hurry, Gu Xiao turned over in the air and raised his body horizontally, and was able to avoid the life-threatening thread. . .
The power of the volley had been exhausted, but Gu Xiao caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye. Under the moonlight, several threads shining with a slight cold light came again. The threads he had avoided just now followed the ratchet wheel in the trap tree, changed their direction, and struck again. , and the power of his cloud control has been exhausted, and it is inevitable to avoid being attacked from the front and back. . .
Seeing that he was about to be cut into pieces by these threads, Gu Xiao had no choice but to give it a try. The long sword in his hand seemed to be borrowing the light of the bright moon in the sky, using his internal strength, he swung the sword in the air towards the surrounding trap trees. . .
A piece of green shirt fell lightly, and the trap tree was broken. As Gu Xiao stood still, looking at the sharp thread that had stopped in front of him, fine beads of sweat on his forehead had already gathered and dripped down the young man's handsome cheeks. Breathing a long sigh of relief, the young man slowly moved his body out of the silk threads that were almost close to him.
The trap trees on both sides had been cut in half by the long sword in the young man's hand. He looked at the ratchet in the trap tree that he had broken open with lingering fear. Before Gu Xiao could take a breath, he could only hear the rapid footsteps in Hua Chaoyuan behind him. The sound sounded. . .
Without these trap trees, Gu Xiao was naturally not afraid of the gold and silver-clad He family guardians. However, he thought that time was running out and he needed to quickly find where the Immortal in the Mist was being held. With a movement of his body, he was already hiding in one of them. Behind a mechanism tree.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the sound is coming from the courtyard wall... The castle master once said that this thief has accomplices. We have made a great contribution this time."
"Brother Hou, I heard that this thief's accomplice is the boy named Mu Yi from Qingqiu Lei. His martial arts skills are not weak. Let's go here, we won't..."
"What are you afraid of? You have forgotten that I will show you the power of that mechanism. Let alone Mu Yi, even if a master comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. This time, the two of us can do it without any effort. Take the credit for this.”
"Brother Hou, are we being hasty? Should we call all of them..."
"Are you stupid? It's enough for us two brothers to take such easy credit. It took me a lot of words to make a few of them believe my lies... Don't say anything else. , if you are afraid, go back first... But I warn you, you can't tell anyone else. If someone takes the credit away, none of us brothers will have to do anything..."
"Brother Hou, why do you say this? Since Brother Hou and I are sworn sworn brothers, we share life and death. Whatever we have, we will carry it together..."
Gu Xiao hid behind the trap tree and heard the conversation between the two. He poked his head out and saw the two guards from the Jinyin Academy who had just been hiding on the garden wall and heard the conversation between the two. They turned back. Seeing the achievement at his fingertips, he couldn't restrain his joy in his hasty pace and walked in a hurry with a happy face.
At this moment, Gu Xiao, not to mention the two gold and silver guardians, even with ten times the power, could no longer resist him. Seeing that these two people were approaching the garden wall, he immediately flashed his green shirt and used the night to cast Qinggong sneaked towards the two of them.
These two people didn't notice the others. When they came, their eyes were eagerly looking at the credit. But when they turned around the corridor and saw outside the garden wall, they were dumbfounded.
Especially in Jin Yi's mind, no one could break into the trap tree array. All of them were chopped off by Lazy Yao. The ratchets in the tree were scattered all over the place, and the corpses of those who thought they could gain merit and wealth were nowhere to be seen. , the two of them couldn't help but stand stunned on the spot. . .
Just as the two of them were dumbfounded, a figure in a green shirt quietly appeared behind them, and the Broken Moon Qingfeng slowly appeared under their necks.
"Where is the man you captured now?"
The young man's voice reached the ears of the two of them, and the golden-clothed guard immediately reacted. Just as he was about to call for help, the long sword reflecting the moonlight was already pressed against his neck, and the cold light from the sword's edge made the hair on his hair fall down. Shu, knowing that if he dared to speak again, he would be killed by the sword immediately, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Seeing that the two men no longer called for help, Gu Xiao calmed down the murderous intent in his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that man now?"
Before Jin Yi could say anything, Yin Yi said first, "That man is in the guest room. Young hero, don't kill me. I...Although I have done some evil things, it was because of this man surnamed Hou that he forced me to do so." A family... That... woman is not me either..."
Before Gu Xiao could ask questions, the silver-robed man poured beans out of a bamboo tube, not only revealing the place where the Immortal in the Mist was imprisoned, but also the evil deeds he had committed. The golden-robed man next to him was shocked by his fear of death. He was shocked. Previously he had to go to Lord He to ask for errands, but now he was completely different from the fear of death.
Jin Yi was about to speak angrily, but found that when he opened his mouth, he could no longer make a sound. Looking down, he saw that his throat had been pierced by the young man's sword, but the young man's sword was too fast and the blade was sharp. Stabbed into his own throat, he felt nothing. Now the severe pain, drowsiness, and powerlessness came over him. The sight of the boy pulling the sword out of his own throat was the last scene he could see before his death.
The man in silver clothes on the side saw that the young man in gold clothes had taken his life in the blink of an eye. Just as the long sword was being pulled out of his "brother"'s throat, blood spurted out and splashed all over his face. In an instant, his face changed. He was as pale as his eyes, and his vision went dark. Just when he was about to faint, he heard the young man speak again.
"Lead the way. If you dare to speak freely, you will be like him."
Some people died, but not completely...
