The cliff was slightly cold overnight, and the next day's dawn quietly arrived.

A ray of slightly drunken glow emerged from the sunlight, falling on the cliff, penetrating the heavy fog and breaking the damp coldness.

Ning Xiusu was trapped in a cave on the cliff, sleeping on a stone, and had just made do all night when he heard a whirring sound of the wind.

The noise seemed to come from the sky.

Now that we are trapped here, it is obvious that someone set us up and did it on purpose.

Ning Xiusu's heart trembled, and he immediately hid behind the cave, where a rock wall completely covered him.

Under Xihe, there was a flying kite in the sky. It was made of copper, bamboo and wood, and feathers as wings. It took off in the wind like a bird.

The Yanjia technique of Dayan involves placing a mechanism at the bottom of the flying kite, which is almost a copper furnace with charcoal burning in it, and the heat generated is transmitted through a copper tube.

People sit in the belly of the bird and control the direction by pulling levers.

Among martial artists, if Dayan didn't have this skill, he wouldn't be able to carve out a name for himself.

However, this flying kite is rare in Dayan. I didn’t expect that it is widely used in Nanzhao mines.

Ning Xiusu was thinking in his mind that the Yanjia flying kite landed on the edge of the cliff, the sound of the mechanism trembled slightly, and with a "swish" it folded its wings.

Under the first rays of the rising sun, the belly of the flying kite could be seen. A bamboo sliding door was pushed open, and a man wearing a brass ghost mask walked out.

He was dressed in black, the fabric was crisp and had dark patterns on it, and around his waist hung a long whip from a leather belt, next to which was a piece of animal tusk tied with a green tassel.

This is a jade scepter. It seems that this man is a general supervisor. The thing hanging on his waist is like an ID card.

Ning Xiusu was slightly surprised. How come these people were dressed exactly like the group he met on the Fish-Praying Day?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but touch the talisman that was lost and found.

"Damn, this place stinks. No one on the top floor wants to come here. Let me come here! Damn it."

The man cursed while carrying a double-layer drawer made of yellow pear wood and walked into the cave.

Ning Xiusu peeked out from the crack in the stone. The man's clothes rustled against the drawer, and his black boots stepped on the wet mud as he passed by.

In the dark cave, the roar of monsters could be heard from time to time, which was frightening.

The Chief of Works seemed to find it difficult to see clearly, so he took out a piece of luminous phosphorus stone from his arms.

"The people at the bottom are just fucking unlucky, while the people at the top are all living the best. What the hell! What a rotten rule! Damn it."

Ning Xiusu hid in the dark and listened to the man's manic cursing for a long time until his back disappeared into the distance.

He had an idea and followed the man very carefully as he went in.

"Hey, hey, the medicine is being distributed."

The man with the bronze ghost mask walked to the depths of the cave and shouted at the top of his voice.

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened, and the pupils were bloody, as if they had been gouged out.

The strange thing is that those monsters seemed very well-behaved, not at all manic, and even dared not make any sound.

One of the thin and bony hands reached out to the man tremblingly.

Its sharp claws were black and purple, and under the green light of the phosphorus stone, its slender arms were extremely pale, like a ghost.

For some reason, after getting a pill, he suddenly grabbed the arm of the supervisor.

"You're asking for death, let go!"

The monster suddenly approached him, let out a piercing roar, and opened its bloody mouth at him, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth like blades. Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander threw the drawer away, pulled out a black whistle from his pocket, and blew it.

The black whistle sounded, an extremely sharp and piercing sound that made people's ears buzz.

Those monsters were in groups of three or two, and for a moment they seemed to be controlled by something. They all covered their heads and screamed.

"You clueless bastard, you're really fucking rebellious, damn it."

The Chief of Works seemed to be very angry. He drew out an iron whip and swung it, intending to hit him.

The monster was so frightened that its skin was torn apart by the whip and it immediately rolled on the ground. The others saw this and tried to hide in a hurry.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Ning Xiusu found a gap and stepped forward.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the man with the bronze ghost mask tilted his head, and without any warning, his body stiffened and he fell straight down.

"...Excuse me, could you please lend me your skin?"

Ning Xiusu held a piece of hard stone in his hand and said lightly.

His movement was not very loud, but when the group of monsters saw him, they acted as if they had seen a ghost. Not only did they scream and run away, but they even arched their backs like frightened beasts facing a powerful enemy.

This behavior is as if he is the monster...

"..."

Ning Xiusu didn't pay much attention to it, but was attracted by the drawer. The double-layer drawer contained medicine on one layer and some raw meat with a strong fishy smell on the other.

The meat was nothing special, just some raw beef.

But this medicine...

Ning Xiusu took it to his nose and sniffed it. It had an almost faint fragrance. It was an ice pill. It could relieve pain, but it was addictive.

In addition, the base smell is extremely pungent and complex, and seems to be mixed with some minerals, and it is difficult to tell what the ingredients are.

However, it can be concluded that this medicine is a folk remedy.

"medicine--"

Another insect-like sound arose, and Ning Xiu was still horrified when he heard it suddenly.

Looking up, he saw the skinny monster about ten steps away from him, with his arms stretched on the ground, staring at the drawer with bared teeth.

This guy seems to be more rational than those.

Ning Xiusu put the medicine down and asked, "Did you become like this because you were poisoned?"

The monster stared at him without saying a word.

He walked over curiously, put the medicine in his palm, and opened his hand towards her.

The monster came over timidly, and Ning Xiusu grabbed his claws.

It howled in extreme fear, and its blood-red eye sockets suddenly widened, almost popping out.

Ning Xiusu just felt his pulse. The man's pulse was unstable, sometimes intermittent, sometimes rapid, as if there was a foreign object wandering in the body, disrupting the normal circulation of qi and blood.

Could it be that he was poisoned by some kind of insect and turned into a monster?

But this medicine is clearly a delaying agent for some kind of poison...

What on earth is going on in the mines?

Only when he loosened his grip did the monster stop howling wildly, and immediately curled up into a ball listlessly, as if it had been beaten.

Weird, what's wrong with me???

Ning Xiusu checked his own pulse and found nothing abnormal.

Nothing more...

Ning Xiusu didn't understand, so he took a pill and didn't bother to care about the monsters.

He then tried hard to drag the man with the bronze ghost mask, and with great effort, stripped off his clothes from behind the stone wall.

Then, he changed into black clothes and covered his face with the hideous bronze ghost mask.

perfect!

Ning Xiusu's current appearance meant he could probably get away with using a flying kite to get to the mine...

A flying kite stood on the cliff like a huge bird, its wings and bronze bones gleaming faintly in the dim sunlight.

Tsk, how do you use this thing?

Ning Xiusu approached and pondered. He had indeed sat on it as a child, but he was too young at the time, and when he traveled through time, he didn't remember much...

He pulled the sliding door and looked into the bird's belly with a frown. Although it was covered by feathers on all sides, the front was open and he could see the surroundings.

There was a lever mechanism in the middle, with a slot for movement. But the ground beneath was painted with vermilion talismans, and there was a shimmering powder like crystal.

He probed with his hand and sniffed it with his nose. It was made of powder ground by Bai Luofu mixed with animal blood. It seemed that this small magic circle had to be activated with secret words.

Never mind, I’ve heard Meng Qilian occasionally recite the secret words of the Yanjia secret technique, roughly two, three, four, and five.

To recall the past, turn the dial twice to the left, three times to the right, four times up, and five times down.

He pulled the lever mechanism, and with a humming sound, the kite started flying. Its wings flapped twice and it gradually rose into the air.

Suddenly, a wind blew by. This thing used the changes in wind direction and airflow to adjust its route. Ning Xiusu staggered slightly and found that the kite was heading towards the cliff.

Oh no, the mission failed. Hope the plane doesn’t crash!

Next to the lever mechanism was a wind compass, engraved with the eight trigrams. The Si Nan indicator wavered for a moment. Ning Xiusu hurriedly pulled the lever mechanism until the Si Nan pointed to the Xun direction, and the kite finally stabilized.

Although it is called the偃甲術, once you get the hang of it, you won't find it difficult to control.

Now that he was safe, Ning Xiusu breathed a sigh of relief.

The kite flew with its wings spread, making a "whooshing" sound, following the wind and heading steadily towards the mine.
