[Chapter 474, Weird Town]

As soon as Qu Wanyue finished speaking, a chill ran down the backs of her teammates.

In the dark night, I saw the bride getting married with my own eyes. As a result, the procession to welcome the bride disappeared... This secret room may have a supernatural theme. From the mass graves at the beginning to the disappearance of the bride in the small town, there are everywhere It's so weird that these phenomena are difficult to explain with common sense.

Xiao Lou quickly calmed down, held down the earphones and whispered: "Let's find out the path of the maze first."

Lao Mo picked up the half-drawn map and said, "This maze is too big. The part we just walked through is probably less than one-tenth."

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said: "Do you still remember the conversation between the two maids just now? They said that the young lady is going to get married at Yinshi... Yinshi, that is, between 3 and 5 in the morning. Soon, the sky will It’s going to light up.”

Yu Hanjiang said simply: "Let's go, hurry up. If these people in the town are really ghosts, then the town after dawn will definitely be different from that at night."

Lao Mo led the way, and several others followed behind, walking in the other direction.

The paths in the town are full of twists and turns, a bit like the "petal-shaped" maze encountered in the ancient tombs. No matter which way you go, you will return to the lake in the center of the town. There are complicated passages connecting the curved roads. Even with Lao Mo around, everyone was still confused after walking for a few minutes and couldn't tell the difference between north, south, east and west.

Keep turning in circles, one circle leads to another...

The forks in the entire town were marked with arrows of various colors. Lao Mo had a splitting headache from drawing the map. He couldn't help complaining: "This maze is too complicated. All the roads are similar." It’s so circular, one ring within another, that I can no longer tell which path we took when we came here.”

Everyone: "..."

After Lao Mo reminded them, everyone suddenly realized that they could not find the way they came.

No matter how they walked, the end point was the lake in the middle of the town. Of all the forked roads around the lake, there was no way out... Are they trapped in the town?

Xiao Lou thought of the wedding team that just disappeared, and felt a chill in his heart. He said: "This Qingfeng Town is probably an illusion, and we are trapped. Fortunately, Ninth Brother is outside the town. If he really can't find the exit, let Ninth Brother use Peach Blossom Spring pulls us in.”

With the Peach Blossom Spring as an escape route, everyone felt relieved and continued to explore the town.

There were not many pedestrians in the small town late at night, and all roads were smooth, which provided everyone with great convenience. Lao Mo took everyone around, and there were more and more paths on the map he drew.

They wandered around the town for who knows how long, and Lu Jiuchuan's voice came to Yu Hanjiang's mind: "It's almost dawn, aren't you guys coming out yet?"

Yu Hanjiang was startled, stopped, and looked up at the sky.

A crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and it was pitch black all around. There was no sign of "daybreak coming soon" at all. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "Brother, you are outside the town, is it dawn yet?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "There is light in the east, the sun has not fully come out yet, it should be around six o'clock in the morning."

Yu Hanjiang turned back to Xiao Lou and said, "How long have we been wandering around the town?"

"About two hours. The Peach Blossom Spring exists for three hours. I think we can go out before the Peach Blossom Spring disappears." Xiao Lou also noticed something was wrong when he said this. He followed Yu Hanjiang's gaze and looked at the sky, and said thoughtfully, "According to the time just now, the young lady got married at Yin hour in the early morning. It should be Chen hour now. Why is it not dawn yet?"

"Yes... Logically speaking, we have been walking around here for two hours, and it should be dawn." Long Sen scratched his head and looked at Yu Hanjiang with confusion. He found that the latter had a serious look on his face and his brows were slightly furrowed. , seems to be thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Brother Ninth said that it is already dawn outside, and the night town we entered is probably another world."

Qu Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Ghost market?"

Xiao Lou realized something was wrong and immediately said: "Let's go!"

Yu Hanjiang called Lu Jiuchuan through telepathy and asked him to start the teleportation. A prompt from Lu Jiuchuan inviting you to enter the Peach Blossom Spring appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone pressed the button to agree. The picture in front of them flashed and everyone gathered under the familiar peach blossom tree again.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at the pale faces of the five people and walked over worriedly and asked, "What's going on? I heard Han Jiang say that you are trapped in the maze?"

Ye Qi was also curious: "And there's a ghost bride? A ghost baby?"

Shao Qingge gently pressed his temples and said: "So, is this a horror battle royale? Zombies that don't eat control, the elusive Ah Piao? And interspersed with some hunters who want our lives?"

Ye Qi looked back at him: "What is Ah Piao?"

Shao Qingge chuckled and patted the young man on the shoulder, and explained patiently: "It means ghost. Usually, ghosts like to float behind people, so they are respectfully called 'Apiao' by people. Don't you know?"

Ye Qi shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before!"

Xiao Lou's mind was a little confused. He sorted out his thoughts and said: "What is certain now is that the town at night is a ghost town frozen in time. You can't get out if you go in. Old Mo, let everyone take a look at you first. Draw a maze map."

Lao Mo took out a handkerchief. This was the card Liu Qiao gave him at the time. He could draw graphics directly on it with his fingers, making it very convenient to carry. I saw that the white handkerchief was densely covered with circles.

, in the middle is a big circle with the words "Lake" and "Zuiyue Pavilion" written on it.

Ye Qi felt dizzy: "Is this maze a ring game? The circles are connected one after another?"

Gui Yuanzhang came over and looked at the floor plan carefully and said, "Which way did you enter? From the map, it looks like a closed maze with no exit?"

Xiao Loudao: "I'm surprised too. When we entered the town and found the lake, we left arrow marks on the original road, but after walking around for a while, we couldn't find where the marks were. All roads were circular. Once you get in, you can’t get out.”

Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "There is no way out? There is no way back?!"

Tang Ci said seriously: "Fortunately, Captain Yu allowed seven of us to stay outside. If the whole team had entered the maze, we would probably be trapped in the ghost town now."

Ye Qi's face turned pale and he said: "If we are trapped in the ghost town and can't get out, over time, we will starve to death and become ghosts like them?"

Everyone was frightened when they heard this.

If it weren't for Xiao Lou who asked Lu Jiuchuan to open a peach blossom garden to attract people, Yu Hanjiang was cautious and only sent five people to explore the way, while the others stayed outside the town...

I was a little careless at that time, and everyone went in together - it was really a dead end, and there was no return!

This was the first big hole left to them by the gatekeepers.

Lao Mo looked at the map on the handkerchief and said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Beehive Maze'?"

Everyone else was at a loss, but Xiao Lou quickly said: "I have heard that it is one of the most complex maze types in the world and is often used in various maze challenge competitions. The principle of the honeycomb maze is based on the nest of a bee. Yes, there are so many forks in the road that if you take the wrong one, it will be extremely difficult to turn back."

Lao Mo nodded, pointed at the map and said: "Professor Xiao, I think the layout of the maze in this town is very similar to a variation of the honeycomb maze. However, the honeycomb maze is composed of countless hexagons connected together. It becomes countless circles, the difficulty is about the same, but visually it is more dizzying.”

Xiao Lou said: "Let's get out of the Peach Blossom Spring first. I want to see what the town is like during the day."

Before leaving Peach Blossom Spring, Yu Hanjiang reminded: "This is an ancient setting. You are wearing shirts, jeans and sneakers. If you need to investigate clues during the day, you will be regarded as aliens by the people in the town."

Shao Qingge smiled and said: "This is not a problem. Do you still remember the clothes card everyone got in the 8 of Hearts?"

Sister Hongtao has always been "caring". When she rewarded everyone with [clothing cards], everyone thought that this set of "cosplay" costumes would never be used. They didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly, and now there are ancient backgrounds. In the secret room, you need to wear ancient costumes...

Ye Qi blushed: "Am I going to wear that women's outfit again?!"

Everyone looked like "What else?"

Xiao Lou pretended to be calm and put on the women's clothes, and became Yu Hanjiang's "Mrs." in the 8 of Hearts. His clothes and Master Yu's clothes were still couple's clothes of the same color.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at his brother and Xiao Lou's couple outfits and praised them: "Not bad, they match well."

Xiao Lou's ears were slightly red, but he ignored the profound meaning of his words and asked: "Brother Ninth, I remember that you also experienced an ancient secret room. Did you get the clothing card reward?"

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and touched his nose: "In the ancient secret room we went to, I was the general, Hua Ying was the heroine, Tang Ci was the teacher, and Lao Gui was still the emperor."

Guiyuan Zhang said calmly: "I'm paying a private visit incognito, and I also have a set of casual clothes."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Then put it on."

A group of people directly took out their costume cards and changed into ancient costumes in the blink of an eye. Ye Qi wanted to vomit blood. His bright red skirt was the most gorgeous. After all, he was playing the top girl of Tianxiang Tower...

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Xiaoye, who was wearing a red dress, hairpins and jewelry, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you dressed up like? Could it be Qing..."

Tang Ci coughed slightly, interrupting Brother Jiu's joke.

Ye Qi was so angry that he said, "I want to change my clothes after entering the town!"

Shao Qingge chuckled and fixed a crooked hairpin on Ye Qi's head, and said: "Xiao Lou, please arrange how to divide the groups into groups. In case someone is in the town during the day, there are twelve of us and our clothes are not uniform. You can’t just swarm in, right? The locals will see something is wrong.”

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who said calmly: "Xiao Lou and I pretended to be husband and wife, and Long and Qu followed us. The four of us are tourists who occasionally pass by here." The attire of the lord, madam, guard, and maid was completely different. It also fits the identity and is not likely to arouse suspicion.

Xiao Lou continued: "Old Mo and Xiao Liu are pretending to be masters and apprentices. You are pharmacists who travel around the world and come to collect herbs nearby."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Huaying and senior Gui are in a group, mobile group, free to move."

Chu Huaying and Gui Lao are both very capable and can investigate clues alone while others are not paying attention.

There was no need for the remaining four to say anything. Shao Qingge took the initiative to speak: "As a rich man, I have no choice but to take Miss Ye with me." Seeing Ye Qi blushing, he leaned over and said with a chuckle: "When you enter the town, first I’ll buy you something you like and change out of this gaudy red dress.”

Only then did Ye Qi become happy: "I want to change into men's clothes!"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Tang Ci and I will stay behind. If anything happens in the town, I will use another Peach Blossom Spring card to force you out."

The town at night is a ghost town, and you have to guard against anyone entering or leaving.

Shao Qingge handed the copied [Tao Yuanming] card to Lu Jiuchuan, Yu Hanjiang and Lu

Jiuchuan's telepathy can last for 20 hours. After encountering danger, it is too late for Lu Jiuchuan to open a paradise again.

After everyone agreed, they walked out of the Peach Blossom Spring in batches.

Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, Long Sen, and Qu Wanyue entered the town first.

It was indeed bright outside, with a red glow appearing in the eastern sky, and the quiet town was awakened. After the heavy rain, the air seems to be particularly fresh, and you can still smell the faint aroma of green grass.

As soon as Xiao Lou and his party entered the town, they saw a woodcutter holding tools, seemingly preparing to go to the mountain to cut firewood.

When the old man saw them, he was slightly startled, but did not take the initiative to talk to them and continued to move forward.

Yu Hanjiang stepped forward and stopped in front of him, and said politely: "Old man, my wife and I are passing through here and want to find a place to stay. Is there an inn in this town?"

The old man said: "There is an inn. You can see it if you go west along the mainland."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Thank you, uncle."

The four of them walked into the town. It was still early in the morning and there were not many pedestrians on the street. However, they could see that some vendors had begun to prepare breakfast, and the smell of meat buns wafted in the air. The town full of lively people is completely different from the quiet and weird town last night. It is indeed like two worlds.

Xiao Lou walked to the center of the town based on his memory and saw a lake as expected.

The willows are reflected on the lake, the breeze blows, the clear lake water sparkles, and the scenery is a hundred times more beautiful than at night.

Xiao Lou remembered that he walked right along the lake to the third fork in the road, which was the house where the bride was getting married at night. He and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and walked to the bride's house in their memories in tacit agreement.

As he was about to reach the door, a gust of wind blew by, and the leaves that had fallen on the ground due to the heavy rain were suddenly picked up by the wind and made a rustling sound. The atmosphere felt gloomy for no reason.

Yu Hanjiang stopped and looked at the deserted streets.

The whole street was deserted.

Xiao Lou winked at Qu Wanyue, and Qu Wanyue and Long Sen quickly used chameleon cards to sneak into the courtyard while no one was around.

After a while, the two came back. Long Sen said solemnly: "Professor Xiao, this courtyard has been abandoned for a long time. There is no one in it, but..."

Xiao Lou asked: "What is it?"

Qu Wanyue gritted her teeth and said, "There is a row of spiritual tablets."
