It's not just Yang Wanli.

The other soldier was in the same situation, the two of them writhed more and more, and the amplitude became more and more exaggerated, and they could even clearly hear the joints of their whole bodies "snapping", as if they were about to tear themselves apart!

"This?!"

Wu Liang wasn't sure if he wanted to find a way to control them now.

If he didn't control it, he was really afraid that Yang Wanli and this soldier would completely abolish him like this.

But if you control it, you don't know how to control it, after all, every part of their body is writhing, and the amplitude is huge, if you forcibly control it, will it cause more damage to them?

In addition, with the frantic writhing, the bodies of the two are shrinking at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

It's just a few breaths.

They had shrunk by about a quarter, and their bodies had shrunk to similar proportions, making them look thinner than the skinniest soldiers in the Watt Army, like two malnourished half-sized men.

Wu Liang even suspected that what Han Cheng said before was that he couldn't see people in life and dead without seeing corpses, so he kept shrinking and finally disappeared......

Look at the strange scene in front of you.

Bai Jingjing also widened her beautiful eyes, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Wu Liang's clothes.

Yang Wanli wrinkled his old face and hid weakly behind Dian Wei, the look of surprise on his face was overflowing.

"Childe, do you want me to ......?"

Dian Wei couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"No matter what happens now, it's very difficult for us to stop it humanly, and maybe we could hurt them further, so we don't do anything for the time being, and we'll see what happens."

Wu Liang had already made a decision in his heart, forcibly suppressed the worries in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes."

Seeing Wu Liang say this, Dian Wei naturally didn't say anything more, but just stood silently in front of Wu Liang's side to prevent any vision from hurting him.

It is also the kung fu of the two of them talking.

Yang Wanli and the soldier's bodies were no longer shrinking, and the range of twisting had finally become smaller.

But at this time.

The rope that was originally tightly bound to them from top to bottom had become loose and loose with the change of the two reminders, and the two of them only twisted a few times, and most of their bodies were already like a shell, and they easily got out of the rope......

"Childe, do you want to tie them up again?"

Dian Wei's expression tightened, and he stepped forward again and said.

"Not necessarily."

Wu Liang still shook his head, frowned and said, "It is rumored that the person who 'fell for evil' in the ruins of the ancient city will disappear inexplicably in a few days...... Since we can't wake up these two people, let's make a plan and see where they will go after they break free? Maybe that's the key to waking them up. ”

This is the only way Wu Liang can think of now? If there is still no way to save the two of them, then there is really no way.

"Isn't that a good idea? But ......"

Listened to Wu Liang's words? Yu Qiji said with some concern, "This move is also extremely risky? If these two were really going somewhere, that place must have something to do with this terrible evil spirit? What if we rush along? I don't know what will happen, maybe I'll be the same as them. ”

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Wu Liang smiled bitterly.

He naturally knew that Yu Ji's statement was not unreasonable, but even if there was only a chance now, it was impossible for him to ignore these two people? Even some adventures must be tried.

……

A moment later.

Yang Wanli and the soldier had completely emerged from the rope.

Breathtaking? Don't look at the two people just now, almost all of their joints have been numb and scalp-numbing, and their bodies have shrunk a lot, but they seem to be unharmed, and they can still stand up and walk out of the tent very steadily.

"Keep up!"

Wu Liang and the others have already brought all kinds of equipment, especially equipment used to save lives? Seeing this, they immediately followed, and the two groups of people went out of the valley where the Hsmiling Army was hiding, one after the other.

This time, only Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, Yu Ji and the two soldiers who had entered the ruins of the ancient city before were still entourage.

In fact, these two soldiers, Wu Liang, didn't want to bring them? However, I thought that someone might need to report the news, so I called them.

After all, this kind of thing is like a tomb visit? Isn't it better to have more people, otherwise it might put more people in danger? It's better to figure out the situation before deciding whether to call someone to help.

It didn't take long to get out of the valley.

Wu Liang and others discovered an even more surprising phenomenon.

I saw that Yang Wanli and the soldier's bodies were gradually recovering in the process of walking? What does it look like walking like this for about ten minutes? They have changed back to their previous normal height and size?

"What the hell is this?"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang was even more confused.

Everyone was also surprised, this is a genuine "miracle", it is incredible.

Even people in the Eastern Han Dynasty knew that the human body was mainly supported by hard bones, and unless the bones were broken, it was almost impossible to deform, let alone stretch or contract.

Because of this, a person's appearance may be disguised through some disguise, but it is absolutely impossible to change height and body shape.

But Yang Wanli and the soldier did it.

They are able to become shorter and thinner in a very short period of time, and they are able to return to their original shape in a very short period of time, and they appear to be unharmed on the surface.

This is completely beyond the cognition of everyone here, including Wu Liang......

If you have to find a noun from Wu Liang's cognition to describe this amazing scene, Wu Liang can only think of one word - bone shrinking gong!

But as far as Wu Liang knows, in addition to some amazing legends in ancient books.

The vast majority of the "bone shrinking skills" known in later generations are "soft body techniques", this kind of "soft body techniques" are mostly seen in acrobatic troupes, mainly acrobatic skills such as forward bending, lower waist, and splitting, and those who are ruthless to themselves may involve dangerous performances such as dislocation.

Anyway, Wu Liang had never seen someone who could dislocate almost all the joints of his body like Yang Wanli and that soldier, and he could also change his height and body shape.

Even if the escape magic of the later generations is definitely not played like this......

And because of this.

Wu Liang had reason to suspect that Yang Wanli and the soldier must have been affected by some mysterious substance, which caused some kind of incomprehensible change in their bodies to be able to do such a thing without any consciousness.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no consciousness at all.

At least their bodies have a clear purpose that guides them somewhere.

And the "Bone Shrinking Skill" just shown has only one purpose, that is, to help them escape from the restraint and go to that unknown place.

However, Wu Liang will definitely not take this situation as a good deed.

Although this "bone shrinking skill" looks amazing, it can only be counted as a side effect of the two of them after the "evil spirit", and it may not necessarily happen next......

……

This time.

Yang Wanli and the soldier still took the same road to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, and it seemed that they still had to return to the ruins of the ancient city.

But it was not yet time to reach the ruins of the ancient city.

The two men suddenly changed direction and walked out of the city.

"Where is this going?"

Wu Liang had already taken out the "gas mask" he had brought with him, and was ready to risk following Yang Wanli and the soldier into the ruins of the ancient city to investigate the situation.

In his opinion, since Yang Wanli and the soldier would "fall into evil" without realizing it.

Then there is a great possibility that this so-called "evil spirit" will be transmitted through the air, and if so, the "gas mask" can play a certain role.

Of course, he also knew that this kind of "gas mask" was still a little rudimentary.

And the effective time will not be too long, and it may not be able to completely isolate the "evil spirit".

But he had to take this risk, otherwise Yang Wanli and the soldier would really be hopeless.

As a result, the two of them suddenly changed the direction of walking, which Wu Liang did not expect...... Could it be that he was misled before, and the location of the evil between the two was not actually in the ruins of the ancient city?

Think so.

Wu Liang called the two soldiers who had not been evil-struck over again, and asked intently, "Recall again, before entering the ruins of the ancient city, or after leaving the ruins of the ancient city, did you still have a time when you acted separately?" ”

"This ......"

The two thought for a moment, and one of them finally thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Yes! When we entered Qiancheng County to inquire about the news, Yang Bochang and this brother had been separated from us for a while, but it was only a short time, and Yang Bochang and the two should not have encountered anything strange, otherwise they would definitely mention it to Gongzi. ”

"Qiancheng County?"

If it is not in the ruins of the ancient city, but in the county seat of Qiancheng.

Then this evil incident will have to do with "Shou Cao Dao" again, but the reason why "Shou Cao Dao" attacked Yang Wanli and that soldier remains to be discussed.

If "Shou Cao Dao" noticed the identity of Yang Wanli and that soldier, in fact, there was no need to deal with the two of them in this way, after all, Qiancheng County was the base camp of "Shou Cao Dao", and there were ways to keep them out of the city, which was tantamount to taking off their pants and farting.

So this possibility can basically be ruled out.

Then, there is only one other possibility: "Shou Cao Dao" even if he used this kind of evil thing, it was not aimed at Yang Wanli and the soldier at that time, these two guys were just too unlucky and were inadvertently affected.

However, this speculation must be based on the fact that this matter was indeed done by "Shou Cao Dao", and without this basis, all speculations would not be valid.

"So, is the direction we are going in to the county seat of Qiancheng?"

Wu Liang then asked again.

"No, it's the opposite."

The two soldiers shook their heads.

"Okay......"

Wu Liang was a little helpless, and now the clue seemed to be broken again.

The group had to continue to follow Yang Wanli and the soldier honestly, and it seemed that only when they reached the destination of their trip could they find the answer.

And so it went some distance.

Yang Wanli and the soldier finally reversed direction again.

This time, without asking Wu Liang, it can be seen that these two people do not seem to be staying away from the ruins of the ancient city, but are going around the perimeter of the ruins of the ancient city.

Moreover, the detour path is precisely the southern periphery of the ruins of the ancient city.

"Childe, where are the two of them going?"

Yu Ji, who was not very sensitive to the direction, had been confused by the route of Yang Wanli and the soldier, and he was a little depressed because he was not so good at his age.

"It's hard to say, but I think it's almost there."

Wu Liang shook his head and said.

While he was talking.

Yang Wanli and the soldier finally stopped.

The terrain here is slightly lower than the ruins of the old city, and there are also many trees growing around.

Although it is winter now, these trees have become bare, but the half-human-high dead grass on the ground still obscures the view, not to mention that it is still the middle of the night, and several people have only lit a torch, and the visual distance is not very large.

But after a pause, Yang Wanli and the soldier went straight to the slope near the ruins of the ancient city.

"Keep up!"

Wu Liang and the others hurriedly followed.

I saw Yang Wanli and the soldier come to the bottom of the slope, and after picking up the weeds in front of them, an arched hole more than half a meter high and one meter wide was revealed under the slope!

The edges and inner walls of the arched openings are made of masonry of the same specifications.

And according to the direction of the cave entrance, it seems that the direction of the extension of this vaulted cave should be inside the ancient city ruins, and it is the underground of the ancient city ruins!

This is......

The drainage system of the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu?

Or is it an underground tunnel?

It's a bit of both.

Even in the Xia and Shang periods, the problem of drainage was considered when building the royal palace, so the underground drainage system appeared in the Celestial Empire very early, especially Qingzhou is a coastal area, which is one of the earliest areas where the drainage system appeared.

Of course.

The same is true of the underground secret passage, and there are still three caves for the cunning rabbit.

Naturally, people will also leave a way out for themselves, and if something goes wrong with the palace, or if the city is besieged by enemy troops, the underground secret passage becomes an extremely important escape route.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

Seeing that Yang Wanli and the soldier had picked up the dead grass that blocked the entrance of the cave, they bent down and prepared to crawl into the cave.

"Dian Wei, Jingjing, Yu Ji, and the two of you, you wait outside, and I'll follow them in and have a look."

Wu Liang hesitated slightly, then put the gas mask on his face, and said angrily to a few people behind him.

"Childe, this trip is dangerous, Wei categorically can't teach you to go alone!"

Pawn Wei immediately blocked in front of Wu Liang, as if he had a posture of "you either take me with you, or don't think about going anywhere", which was not negotiable.

If Wu Liang is not mistaken.

This was the first time that Dian Wei had openly disobeyed his orders.
