Happy beautiful man

Chapter 055 Labyrinth

"En." Mo Li replied, still worried: "How about you, can you go? Do you want to take a rest. Fengtang is currently troubled by internal and external troubles, so it may not be leisurely to come to us."

Long Yu walked a few steps and felt that his legs were still a little soft, but there was nothing serious about it, so he shook his arms and said, "It's okay, let's go. Although Tang Feng may not be in the mood to look for us, it would be bad if we bump into each other. And I don’t know what this place is used for, it’s eerie and scary, and I don’t know if something will pop out of nowhere.”

Mo Li smiled, obviously he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but it's not easy to stay here for a long time, since Long Yu can leave, he also thought about leaving as soon as possible.

Mo Li held the dry food and water bag in one hand, and supported Long Yu, who was still a little weak in the other, and the two walked forward slowly.

The passage is very long, and the air should be circulating. Although there is no obvious feeling of wind, the lights on both sides of the passage will shake from time to time, faintly dragging the shadows of the two people on the blue brick floor, accompanied by light panting And the sound of footsteps, in a quiet place, looks even more deserted and gloomy.

At the beginning, Long Yu still held his breath and was a little nervous, afraid that he would encounter something, alive or dead, the past and the present are not good omens.But after walking for a while, I found that there was nothing, not even a single bug, but the turning fork road kept appearing.

In this place where the two of them knew nothing, Mo Li couldn't find any rules. The two of them could only follow their feelings, most of the time they still followed the intuition of the Long Yu woman.Then make a mark at the intersection of the turn, in case you make a mistake, you will know that you will not take the same road after returning.

Every 100 meters, there will be a lamp dimly lit. Long Yu looked up and said: "How long can such an oil lamp last? Even if it can be lit for ten days and a half a month, then this People should often come to refuel the place, but the ground, wall, and even the lamp. How could there be no traces of freshness?"

In Long Yu's opinion, the appearance of this oil lamp is not only antique, but also ancient. If you look closely, the lamp stand looks very strange, it is a barrel-packed wooden product.Knocked, the middle seemed to be empty, a long wick rose out of the hollow tube, glowing eeriely, with a little bit of gleam like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Could it be that this wooden barrel is filled with oil? It should be able to burn for a long time." Long Yu stepped up and leaned over to smell it.Hastily covered his nose.I didn't feel much far away just now, but now I smell it close.I just feel that a smell can almost suffocate people.Some smell like oil, but it's not the smell of oil that I remember, it's weird and disgusting.

Mo Li also poked his head slightly to look at it. The smell was in his nose, and he couldn't help frowning.

Reaching out to pull Long Yu back, he said calmly, "Don't look, just focus on finding the way."

Long Yu let out a cry.Under the dim light, Mo Li's face seemed a bit serious.Think about it.At this time, I should concentrate on finding a way out. I was still worrying about whether I was getting distracted, and something was wrong, so I didn't ask any more questions and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, they both stopped at an intersection.

There was another fork in the road before them, but the two of them frowned when they saw a white mark on the stone wall.

Roughly counting, they have passed seven or eight intersections this way, and every time they pass a fork, they will leave a mark on the stone wall.In this way, if they take a repeated path or a dead end, they will not go the wrong way again after returning, but the mark in front of them is the last one, that is to say, they have gone through all the forks that can be taken. , and the result obtained is that these fork roads are all connected, turning back and forth, they are always going around in circles between roads.

"It seems that this underground palace is still a maze." Long Yu said suspiciously: "But no matter how maze it is, there should be a way out. All the forked roads that can be seen have been marked, no matter how maze it is, there should be a way out, right?"

In Long Yu's understanding, the so-called maze should be made of countless forks in order to confuse others, using visual errors to make people go around in circles unknowingly, or lead people into wrong paths with secret passages.But no matter what kind of maze, there must be a correct way out, otherwise, what's the point of the existence of a dead end?How does the owner of this place come and go with it?

Mo Li nodded, also thinking.His martial arts are not low, but secret passages are not his specialty, and how to find a way in an underground palace is really not his specialty.

After thinking for a long time, Mo Li said: "I'm not very clear, let's look for it. Fortunately, the air in this place can be circulated, and water and food can be supplied for a while. Don't worry, as long as there is a way to go out, look for it slowly. It can be found. And since Fengtang stores food and water here, there must be a place connected to the outside world, even if it is temporarily blocked, it can be cleaned out."

Long Yu responded, but he was really not that anxious. First, there was no immediate threat of death, and second, with Mo Li by his side, he felt a sense of security.

The place is so big, there must be a road, and if the front is blocked, there may be secret doors on the wall and on the ground.

So the two began to look for the way, rest, and then look for the way again, knocking on the walls and the floor bit by bit, knocking on every embossed place, trying to find some clues.

There is no sunshine in the ground, and there is no concept of time. Long Yu doesn't know how long he walked, and finally he was too tired to walk. He didn't care what was clean or not. He sat down on the ground and waved to Mo Li: " Mo Li, let's rest. I guess it should be dark outside."

Mo Li looked at Long Yu's tired expression, so he squatted down beside her, and asked a bit curiously: "In this place, you can also know that it's dark?"

Long Yu pointed to his own eyes, he couldn't open them a little bit: "I'm sleepy, I usually don't go to bed early, so I can't even open my eyes, at least it's midnight."

Long Yu wanted to say that he was a person with a strict biological clock, but Mo Li didn't know what a biological clock was, and he didn't bother to explain it.

Mo Li didn't necessarily believe that it was midnight outside, but looking at Long Yu's appearance, he apologized a little: "I'm not tired, and I forgot that you need to rest. We are not in a hurry here, maintaining physical strength is very important. If you are tired and sick, it will be a problem." (To be continued.
