Lin Yunmeng knocked on the door with her fingers and listened attentively. After a long time, gentle footsteps approached.

She looked back at the area where the two of them had just skipped tacitly. The place was already covered with bamboos with sharp needle-like heads. If the two of them had not escaped immediately, they must have been pierced by now.

Lin Yunmeng wiped the sweat from her forehead. The people who designed these mechanisms are really sad and crazy. If they make one mistake, they will make mistakes every step of the way.

As the door creaked with age, what came into view was an old man over fifty years old. His cloudy eyes looked Lin Yunmeng and Xu Qingke up and down: "Hello, who are you?"

"I'm a nightmare. I was entrusted by Mu Huan to come to Zhuzhu to pick up something."

Lin Yunmeng did not look down on the other party because of his age, but was humble and polite.

Not to mention the lightness of the steps just now, which is a sign of a person with inner strength, let's think about it first, Mu Huan values ​​​​such a thing so much, how can he ask a defenseless old man to guard it?

Yes, from Lin Yunmeng's point of view, all these traps are to protect such a thing.

"Token." The old man didn't look excited when the other party reported his master's name. He looked calm, as if he wanted to blend in with the nature, calm and calm.

Lin Yunmeng took out a small token. After reading it, the old man opened the door wider and turned slightly: "Please come in, please wait a moment. I will get it right now."

As soon as they left, Lin Yunmeng looked at the furnishings in the courtyard.

There are many flowers and plants planted along the cobblestone path. There are all kinds of precious flowers and plants. It can be seen that someone has carefully taken care of it. After walking along the path, you will arrive at the main hall. In the main hall, a grand master's chair is cushioned with down fur and hung on it.

There is a landscape painting, and the furnishings are luxurious yet elegant.

The house was very large, with a square shape and winding paths leading to secluded places. Lin Yunmeng did not intend to move around rashly, lest she disturb the old man's mood and give herself a cold look.

Moreover, this ancient house has stood the test of weather for a long time, and there are relics of time everywhere. If she accidentally breaks something, the gain will not be worth the loss.

"This may be the main residence of the Mu family." Xu Qingke suddenly said, looking at the building that was obviously an ancestral hall.

Lin Yunmeng took advantage of the situation and couldn't help but twitching her mouth. No wonder he was worried that someone else would come to pick it up.

If someone revealed the location of his ancestral home, his enemies would have to sneak up on the ancestral home and kick it into pieces. There might be some martial arts secrets or ancestral treasures inside, and they would be able to reveal it.

After a while, the old man brought over a box. A strange-shaped lock was tied to the simple wooden box.

"The seven-hole lock." Seeing her curiosity, Xu Qingke explained in a low voice, "It was made by Master Yu, the ancestor of the machine. I don't know if it is true."

The four words "the ancestor of the machine" are not an exaggeration. He is the creator of the machine uncle. The machines he handles are all ingenious, as powerful and exquisite as the work of the gods.

Therefore, his mechanism skills are famous both at home and abroad. What he has gained from his skillful hands and brain is endless fame, power, and respect, but also blessings and misfortunes. Such ingenious productions will naturally attract people's attention. Since the production drawings cannot be obtained,

But if you imitate something similar and use it to confuse people, you can also deceive some people into selling it at a good price.

This has also led to a bunch of imitations on the market that look fake and genuine. Over time, few people can tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one.

And Master Yu has also passed away, making it even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. His passing has increased the value of this machine technique. If there is an authentic product in the world, it will definitely arouse the prying eyes of forces from all sides, even if it is just a small piece.

It can set off an undercurrent.

Although this small piece seems inconspicuous and seems not worth a thousand pieces of gold, if someone can crack his mechanism, it will be worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.

Lin Yunmeng had heard of such a talented person in her previous life, and she even knew very well how terrifying the machinery he had created was, for example, there was a battle in her previous life that caused disastrous consequences for the Xu Kingdom.

Originally, Xu's army had formed an encirclement to encircle and suppress the enemy, but countless skillful weapons were provided from nowhere, allowing the enemy to stand up and win the battle.

Among them, the most difficult thing to be wary of is a small and exquisite crossbow arrow, which has a long and explosive rate of fire, and has a thin hook on the arrow, which is full of poison.

Once the arrow is shot under the skin, the person who is hit by the arrow will die within ten breaths! And want to remove the arrow? The fine hook has already tightly grasped the muscle. If it is taken out by force, besides digging out the piece of flesh, there is nothing else to do.

There is no other way.

Such terrifying weapons come from the hands of the master.

Lin Yunmeng has never tasted the pain of being shot, but she can get a glimpse of it from those wailing sounds.

Recalling the countless shrill screams, Lin Yunmeng could still feel the heart palpitations and coldness.

Of course, a person who has passed away cannot crawl out of the grave to make weapons again, but his design drawings were discovered and sold to the enemy...

Oh, yes, this battle caused many domestic and foreign troubles, and was also the fuse for Xiao Yubei to seize power.

It was only later that Lin Yunmeng learned that such "good deeds" were done by Xiao Yubei.

According to the time in his previous life, this failed war had already happened, but in this life, Xiao Yubei was not as lucky as in his previous life. Not only did he not get a "sword" who was willing to kill him, but he was also mentally and physically damaged because of the "sword".

What weapons blueprints did you take out and give to the enemy?

If there is any relationship between Mu Huanzhen and Master Na Yu, it seems that the traps in the bamboo forest outside that imply murderous intentions and make mistakes every step of the way can be explained.

"Please take care of the young master's belongings and leave quickly. The bamboo forest will become foggy later, making it even harder to go out." The old man reminded him, put down his things and left quietly.

Lin Yunmeng and Xu Qingke looked at each other, said nothing, took their things and left.

The area that was originally covered with sharp bamboo needles has returned to normal. The lush bamboo forest emits a rustling ensemble music when the wind blows. It seems that the bamboo forest is calm, but in fact it is full of crises.

"How about we ask how to get out?" Lin Yunmeng was a little unsure. What if this mechanism technique is ever-changing?

"Um."

The old man looked at the two people who had left and returned, puzzled.

"Um...can you tell me how to get out?"

Lin Yunmeng smiled awkwardly and secretly remembered Mu Huan, this unreliable thing.

In the end, after the old man was extremely suspicious and repeatedly confirmed his identity, they were able to get him to draw the route map himself.

After walking out of the bamboo forest according to the route map, Lin Yunmeng wiped her sweat and poured water on the drawing according to the old man's words. The paper melted into the water bit by bit until the original shape was no longer visible.
