Zu An never expected that the other party would not follow common sense and actually made him unable to speak. All his ideas suddenly came to naught.
Seeing that the other party was about to raise the knife and drop it, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The big head can be cut off, but the small head cannot.
He hurriedly called Mi Li in his heart: "Master Queen, help me."
Mi Li snorted: "Let's see if you dare to be smart in the future."
She was about to show up to help Zu An. Although in her current state, every time she made a move, she would lose her soul power, not to mention that the emperor's cultivation level was still so high, but she could not just watch Zu An die.
Fortunately, at this time, Bi Linglong on the side spoke: "You can't kill him!"
Zhao Ruizhi laughed angrily: "Oh, you still want to plead for him?"
He Li on the side shook his head secretly, the Crown Princess is usually very clever, why is she so stupid today? Others can intercede for Zu An, but you can't. Interceding for an adulterer, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
Feeling the pressure in the other party's eyes, Bi Linglong turned pale, but she still straightened her back and said hard: "Because he is the only one who knows how to get to the palace over there. You have been pursuing immortality all your life, and you will never let go."
Don’t miss this opportunity.”
Although she didn't know the verses obtained by the other group, she had been in the palace for so many years, so she naturally knew the emperor's thoughts. She was always smart, and she immediately realized that only immortality could make Zhao Ruizhi temporarily give up his grudge against Zu An. Unexpectedly,
Lucky hit.
Although Zhao Ruizhi's heart skipped a beat, he still refused to admit it: "Haha, do I need him if I want to go to the palace?"
Despite what he said, his hands did not continue to attack, but threw Zu An aside.
He raised his head and looked at the floating island palace in the distance. When he tiptoed a little, he had disappeared and the figure flew straight over there.
Although the highest floating island is several hundred feet away from here, given his cultivation level, it can be said that he can reach it almost instantly.
However, not long after he took off, he began to fall suddenly. His expression changed, and he grabbed the starting point. A transparent air claw was clasped on the floating island here, and the next moment he was back to where he was.
.
"Still can't fly." Zhao Ruizhi looked a little ugly. Fortunately, he was prepared in his heart, otherwise he might not be able to come back.
"Your Majesty, there is a mechanism here, maybe there is a way to get over." Noticing that his face was not very good, He Li immediately came over to flatter him, pointing to the array of stone slabs and said.
Zhao Ruizhi's eyes lit up and he came to the array of stone slabs. Although he prided himself on being very resourceful, looking at the stone slabs in front of him, he had no clue at all: "Could this be the starry sky? Why is it so messy? Is it necessary to be in a certain way?"
The rules are rearranged?..."
Many ideas came to his mind, but unfortunately he rejected every one of them.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zu An: "Can you unlock this mechanism?"
"It can be solved, but you will kill me if I untie it. Why should I do it?" Zu An rubbed his neck, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Zhao Ruizhi's pupils shrank: "Are you blackmailing me?"
"It's not a threat, it's just telling the truth." Zu An wondered what the other party had done just now, and why I didn't have the strength to resist at all. It was really painful.
Mi Li's voice rang in her mind: "This guy's cultivation level is indeed unfathomable. After becoming a master, every time he passes through a realm, there will be earth-shaking changes. What's more, he is still an Earth Immortal now, and many of his attack methods and methods are beyond your level."
I understand that it’s normal that you don’t have the power to resist.”
Zu An sighed: "This feeling of powerlessness is really unpleasant."
Mi Li said: "Since you called me master, I will naturally fulfill my responsibility as a master. Later I will roughly explain the common methods of people in this realm in a way that you can understand. You can understand as much as you want.
It depends on your ability. But with your qualifications, at least you shouldn't be as helpless as you were just now."
Zu An complained: "Why didn't you teach me earlier."
"Facing an enemy of this level, even if I teach you these things, it's just the difference between dying early and dying late. Naturally, I wouldn't have thought of teaching you this before," Mi Li snorted, "Will you learn it or not?"
"Learn, learn, learn," Zu An hurriedly apologized, "Thank you, beautiful master!"
Mi Li raised her eyebrows: "What did you call me?"
Zu An explained: "You also know what happened between me and Zhao Hao's queen. The other party is also a queen. Every time I call the queen, I will think of her. I always feel that this is a bit disrespectful to you, so I changed the name. Master
She is a great beauty, and I am telling the truth when I call her that."
The corners of Mi Li's lips raised slightly, but she immediately restrained her: "Master is master, no other words are allowed."
"Okay, master beauty." Zu An said sincerely.
Mi Li: "..."
At this time, Zhao Ruizhi's voice came: "If you can help me live forever, the grudges of the past will not matter. I will naturally not take it to heart anymore and promise to save your life. If you can't believe it, I can make an oath of heaven."
.”
He secretly sneered in his heart, anyway, by cutting off your limbs and making you into a human pig, you will be saved, so it will not be considered a breach of contract.
"Of course I can trust the Emperor's words." Zu An had a look of surprise on his face, and he also sneered secretly in his heart. I would be stupid if I believed your nonsense.
However, despite their own hidden agendas, an agreement was eventually reached.
Zu An came to the stone array: "These hint at the stars in the sky. As long as they are rearranged according to the appropriate rules, it should be fine."
As he spoke, he quickly moved the stone slabs on the ground. As expected, these stone slabs could slide up, down, left, and right.
"...On the left is the green dragon Meng Zhang Jiayin, on the right is the white tiger overseer Jiashen, on the head is the red bird mausoleum of Jiawu, under the foot is Xuanwu holding Ming Jiazi, the moon is the noble man entering the center..." He recalled in his mind the mantras he had seen on the stone tablet before, and gradually those
The stone slabs spell out the corresponding shapes.
As the last stone slab was put together, the crisp sound of the machine could be clearly heard, and the entire stone slab and even the ground shook.
Everyone looked around, but after the shaking, there were no other changes.
He Li on the side chuckled and said: "Master Zu, is this what you said about knowing how to crack this mechanism?"
Zhao Ruizhi looked at Zu An with sharp eyes.
Zu An ignored them and carefully observed the stone slabs on the ground. His eyes suddenly fell on the circular pits on many stone slabs.
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he took out the eighty-one luminous pearls he had found in the giant tortoise shell from his arms.
Putting these beads into the circular pits, they fit perfectly as expected.
At this time, there was a clicking sound coming from the ground, and the stone slabs kept rising and falling. Then some stone slabs sank, and other stone slabs slowly stood up, and finally a number of square stone pillars were formed.
Each stone pillar is engraved with different patterns on all sides, resembling mythical animals and some symbols of the starry sky.
Eventually the roaring underground disappeared, and then everything fell silent again.
Zu An frowned, has the trap not been unlocked yet?
He tried moving the stone pillars and found that the stone pillars could not move, but they could rotate, and when they rotated, they would cause certain other stone pillars to rotate accordingly.
"So that's it..." Zu An suddenly realized, but immediately frowned. Although he knew the general solution, he didn't know what conditions these stone pillar patterns had to meet. The inscriptions on the stone tablet he found in the temple before,
A lot is missing.
At this moment, Zhao Ruizhi laughed: "I see, that's how it is. It's my destiny. My surname is Zu, and you have no use value anymore."
After saying that, he looked at him with an evil look on his face, as if he was going to take action at any moment. Anyway, he didn't really make an oath just now, so he didn't worry about going back on his word.
Zu An was unhurried, as if all this was expected by him: "Don't rush to burn the bridge. Without me, you won't be able to unlock this mechanism even if you know the correct formula."
He has come to his senses. Since he has been able to obtain the key formula along the way, how could those on the other side not gain anything? They must have obtained some formula as well.
As expected, Zhao Ruizhi looked hesitant and did not rush to take action. Instead, he signaled to He Li: "You should match the patterns according to the inscriptions we found at the ancient city ruins."
He had already made up his mind that after He Li unlocked the trap, he would castrate Zu An first.
