But in the blink of an eye, the old man who was full of energy just now turned into a withered skeleton.
The mysterious woman recalled all the Gu insects. She glanced at Yan Xiang, who was bleeding from her neck, and said with a smile: "I think this little girl looks pretty good. If she were made into a human Gu, she should look pretty good. You guys
What do you think?"
No one present answered her, and she didn't seem to need anyone else's answer. After she finished speaking, she stuffed a blood-red worm into Yanxiang's mouth, and the worm rolled into her abdomen.
The mysterious woman turned to the girl following behind her and said, "Xiaoyu, I'll leave her to you to train her."
Xiaoyu responded with a low eyebrow.
King Yu asked: "Is it finished?"
The mysterious woman winked at him and said with a smile: "My lord, can't you wait?"
"I don't want to lose you."
"Don't worry, you won't be lost." The mysterious woman hooked the ends of her slightly curly hair, and her upturned red phoenix eyes flashed with confidence, "As long as I, Mo Feng, am here, there will be no one more embarrassed."
Prince Yu didn't answer her words. He glanced at Princess Yu next to him and said, "Let's go."
Princess Yu, who was stiff in application, held his arm, and the two of them walked into the secret passage hand in hand.
Watching their departing figures, the mysterious woman smiled disdainfully. She glanced at the little fish behind her and said, "Let's go too."
At this time, Yanxiang had opened her eyes, but her eyes were numb and empty, like a pool of stagnant water, without any life in sight. She walked stiffly to Xiaoyu, and the two followed the mysterious woman side by side into the secret passage.
Others followed one after another.
Not long after King Yu and others left, another group of people entered the room. They saw the old man's body, the holes in the ground, and the large blood stains on the table. They guessed that a fierce battle must have just occurred here.
They did not stay here longer and directly followed King Yu and others into the secret passage.
The secret passage was straight and long, and Qu Le and others walked for a long time before they reached the end.
But they discovered that at the end of the secret passage, there were actually the entrances to countless secret passages.
Qu Le looked at the entrances to the secret passages that were as dense as a honeycomb in front of her, and suddenly developed a panic attack. She felt dizzy and had goosebumps all over her body. She quickly closed her eyes and looked away, no longer looking at those entrances.
Gu Fuzhou, Xiao Yun and others were discussing which entrance to choose. Lan Li walked up to Qu Le and asked, "Do you know which entrance is the correct one?"
Qu Le resisted the feeling of nausea and glanced at the entrances again. Her face turned pale and she said: "I feel that every entrance here is correct, but every entrance is wrong."
Lan Li was confused and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Qu Le said: "I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, I just feel like this in my heart. Maybe we will know what's going on when we go in."
The result of the discussion between Gu Fuzhou, Xiao Yun and others was that everyone should work in pairs and enter each entrance in batches. If there are so many of them, if they are spread out, the chance of finding the correct entrance will be much greater. Gu Fuzhou said: "No matter what
Have you all found the correct entrance? As long as there are no accidents, please come back here to gather after one stick of incense, and then we can discuss the strategy together."
This decision is very clumsy, but it is the only solution available at the moment.
Qu Le was assigned to a group with Gu Fuzhou, Lan Li and Elder Lan, Jue Yu and Miao Ben, Xiao Yun and Jiu Wang...
After everyone is grouped, they will enter the selected entrance.
The secret passage was very narrow, and could only accommodate one person walking forward. Qu Le held a torch and walked in front, while Gu Fuzhou followed closely behind her. The light of the fire was dim, and fell on the uneven land underfoot, giving off a strange and quiet feeling.
the breath.
Gu Fuzhou was a person who couldn't stand silence. As he walked, he found various topics to chat with Qu Le. Unfortunately, Qu Le was not in the mood and did not pay attention to his idle talk.
It was only when Gu Fuzhou was talking that his mouth was dry and he was about to get irritable, Qu Le suddenly spoke.
She asked: "What does this place look like to you?"
Gu Fuzhou was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What does it look like to you?"
"I feel like an underground tomb."
Gu Fuzhou thought about it and said, "Is this the tomb of King Yulan?"
Speaking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Gu Fuzhou's eyes. Although his main purpose here was to track down the real murderer of his father, wouldn't it be great if he could find the treasure left by King Yulan by the way? Take it again.
If you don’t take it for free, I feel a little excited just thinking about it!
Qule's response was very cold: "Maybe."
She stopped, looked at the fork in the road ahead, and asked, "Which way to go?"
Gu Fuzhou said hesitantly: "On the right..."
Qule glanced at him: "Are you sure?"
Gu Fuzhou was hesitant and tried to ask: "Which way do you think is more suitable?"
"right."
Gu Fuzhou: "..."
The two entered the passage on the right. Not long after walking, the same fork in the road appeared again. The difference was that this time the secret passage was wider. Qu Le once again chose the path on the right. Gu Fuzhou saw that she chose
He walked so quickly that he thought she knew the right direction, so he simply stopped caring about choosing the direction and just walked behind her.
In fact, how did Qule know the right direction? She just chose the direction based on the principle of holding on to the wall and walking right when entering the maze. As for the result after walking right...who knows what the result will be!
"Hey, there seems to be a light ahead!" Gu Fuzhou exclaimed with his eyes wide open.
Qu Le also saw firelight flashing in front of her. She was about to step forward to check, but Gu Fuzhou suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Gu Fuzhou's face became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "I feel murderous intent."
Hearing what he said, Qu Le's expression became solemn: "It seems there is still the smell of blood..."
The two of them looked at each other, knowing that the place ahead must not be a good place. Gu Fuzhou hesitated for a moment and suggested: "I guess the time for burning incense is coming soon, let's go back and see how others are doing?"
Qu Le nodded: "Okay."
They did not continue forward, but turned around and headed back.
But when they returned to the place where they chose the direction, they unexpectedly found that the fork in the road was gone!
The place where there should have been a fork in the road turned into a straight passage leading to an unknown direction. Qu Le and Gu Fuzhou stood there, looking at the dark passage, and suddenly felt a chill.
Gu Fuzhou laughed dryly and said: "Should we encounter a ghost and hit the wall?"
Qu Le squatted down, touched the soil on the ground, and said, "Look here, it seems like there are traces of being moved again."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fuzhou immediately squatted down and carefully observed the place Qu Le was pointing at.
On the originally uneven ground, you could vaguely see the drag marks left by heavy objects. He looked in the direction of the drag marks, and his eyes fell on the rock wall on the right. He raised the torch, and the light came close to the rock.
He couldn't find any joints or mechanisms on the wall. He said, "There's something weird about this place."
Qule also helped search for a while, but still couldn't find any joints or mechanisms, so the two had to give up temporarily.
Qule asked: "What should we do now?"
"We can only walk along this road and take a look."
So the two of them had no choice but to move on. This time, waiting for them at the end of the secret passage, was another fork in the road.
Gu Fuzhou rested against the rock wall: "I think we are lost."
Qu Le looked around: "We must be lost, and I feel that other people should be the same as us. Maybe everyone is trapped in the maze at this time."
"Then what should we do now?" Gu Fuzhou took out the water bag he carried with him, raised his head and took a big sip, then threw it to Qu Le, "You should also take a rest."
Qule sat on the ground, drank the water from the water bag, peeled off the oil paper and took a bite of the bread. She said: "You were right before, this maze is indeed weird, it seems to be trapping us here on purpose.
, let us keep making choices without retreating or leaving."
Gu Fuzhou followed her guess and said: "If we choose the right direction, we can go out. If we choose the wrong direction, we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives waiting to die."
Qu Le chewed the noodles slowly without saying anything.
After a moment of silence, Gu Fuzhou sighed: "I don't know how Master Miaoben and the others are doing..."
At this time, Miaoben and Jueyu accidentally met an acquaintance in the passage.
Jue Yu shouted in surprise: "Master Li, how could it be you?"
Miao Ben clasped his hands together and said, "Donor Li, long time no see. How are you doing?"
Li Changfeng smiled lightly: "It's pretty good, why are you here?"
"It's a long story," Miao Ben slowly explained the reasons why he and Jue Yu came back here. After listening to this, Li Changfeng's expression became a little solemn.
He said: "Before we came in, we found that the city guard had been killed and his granddaughter was missing. I guess someone followed you into the secret passage. Those people are ruthless and not good people. You must be careful.
That’s all.”
Miaoben smiled bitterly: "We are all separated now. Even if we want to inform them, we can't find the chance."
Li Changfeng said: "Like you, we also walked separately in order to find the right direction as soon as possible."
The person who entered this passage with Li Changfeng was Yan Jiu, and the whereabouts of the others are now unknown.
Li Changfeng said: "The fact that we can meet here means that the passages should be connected, but the location and time of the connection may be different. Let's not separate again and look for it together. If we are lucky, we may be able to meet others."
people."
Miao Ben nodded in agreement: "Donor Li is right."
Qu Le and Gu Fuzhou finished their rest and continued to move forward. They walked for an unknown amount of time and passed an unknown number of forks in the road. Every time they passed a fork in the road, the secret passage would invariably become wider. Until they saw
When Qu Le casually threw the oil paper on the roadside while eating noodles, Gu Fuzhou finally couldn't help but got angry: "Damn it, it's back again! This ghost place is driving people crazy!"
"Maybe its purpose is to drive us crazy," Qu Le's mood was unexpectedly calm. She reached out and patted Gu Fuzhou's back, "Calm down, try to take a deep breath, and then think back to your purpose of coming here in the first place.
