Chapter 56: Human Beings
This voice - it's Zhou Yufei!
Zhenbei didn't have time to think about it, and hurried over there.
The back of the rockery is facing a courtyard, the courtyard door is hidden, and there is a green brick paved road in front of the courtyard, and Zhou Yufei's voice is coming from this courtyard!
Zhenbei walked to the door of the courtyard, looked into the courtyard through the crack in the door, and saw Zhou Yufei lying on the ground, a black thing covered with fine hairs, leaning out and walking around her.
It seemed to be tentatively approaching her, and it was holding out on to something.
It was about ten inches long, had a long tail, and looked like a cat!
Zhen Bei remembered that Qin Wuchen had said that when Cai'er went crazy, she had repeatedly chanted "Black God" in her mouth - could it be that the previous speculation was wrong, this Cai'er didn't deliberately pretend to be crazy?
Suddenly, there was a "snap" sound, which came from Zhou Yufei's body, and it seemed that something had cracked!
I saw that the black unknown object was shocked, and then quickly and agilely rushed towards Zhou Yufei.
In the midst of the lightning, Zhen Bei pushed the door and shouted, "Stop! ”
The black shadow seemed to be startled, stopped, turned its head to look at Zhen Bei, and jumped up the wall a few times and disappeared without a trace.
After Zhenbei saw the appearance of the thing, she was shocked that her scalp was numb, it was a cat, and it had a face that looked like a human, and two long pointed teeth were exposed at the corners of its mouth!
What kind of weird creature is this?
Zhen Bei's heart set off a terrifying storm, but regardless of the thought, she hurriedly ran to Zhou Yufei's side: "Yufei, how are you?" ”
Seeing that although she was not injured, her face was pale and unconscious, so he had to help her get up and walk quickly with half support and half on her back, just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
However, the bluestone road in front of the courtyard seems to never end......
Zhen Bei wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, stopped, and looked at the courtyard gate on the right, they returned to the original location again, and there was another puzzle in front of them!
She looked up at the sun in the sky, no, this time it seems that she has changed to another formation!
Putting Zhou Yufei on the ground, Zhenbei sat down next to her, she needed to re-examine the current predicament she was facing.
On both sides of the corridor were walls that almost towered into the sky, and she had tried to climb them, but they had failed; Turning back and starting from the other direction, the same is the ending......
It seems that there is no other way than to go back the same way and walk through the bamboo forest again!
Zhen Bei shook her head firmly, she could feel as if there was a pair of eyes, secretly watching her every move, forcing her back into the bamboo forest, it was that person's intention!
Not to mention, at this time, she brought one more person, even if she entered the bamboo forest again, I was afraid that what was waiting for her would be replaced by other traps!
Suddenly, Zhen Bei's eyes froze, and she looked at the courtyard in disbelief - there was an arm-thick iron chain on the courtyard door, and I don't know when, this far gate was actually locked!
She suddenly realized that this courtyard was actually the exit, and she only thought about escaping from here, and never thought of automatically giving up the shortcut!
At this point, the back road has been blocked, and regret is useless!
Zhenbei slowly stood up, struggling to pick up Zhou Yufei, she took two steps, as if she was overwhelmed, holding the wall with her right hand, walking slowly.
One step, two steps...... She counted silently in her mind.
When he counted two hundred and nine steps, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his vision instantly widened.
Got out?
Zhen Bei suppressed her heartbeat, turned her head to look, and saw that behind them was an abandoned palace, and outside the gate of the temple, there stood a broken wall several zhang long.
They couldn't get out of this palm-sized place for a long time!
Her eyes fell on the deep pond behind the palace, and she had a kind of palpitations for the rest of her life, but fortunately, she was not misled by the other party to find a way out, otherwise, they might not escape death!
Suddenly, someone shouted faintly in the distance.
"Miss! Miss! ”
"Miss Zhou!"
The voice was getting closer and closer, and after a while, two little girls with anxious faces flashed out of the Merlin in front of them.
Zhen Bei recognized that the one in green was the maid named Xiao Nan next to Zhou Yufei, so she waved her hand and shouted, "Your young lady is here!" ”
After Xiao Nan and the others saw that the unconscious person on her shoulder was her own young lady, they hurriedly ran towards her, and said urgently: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
After making sure that the young lady was just asleep, the two little girls breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl named Xiao Nan looked Zhen Bei up and down with her eyes, and said vigilantly: "I don't know what to call the son?" Can you tell me that my young lady is obviously walking in this plum forest, and the slave maid only went to the virtuous concubine to take off the purse, how could she faint suddenly? ”
This little girl is still as clever and shrewd as before!
Zhen Bei handed Zhou Yufei into their hands and sighed: "What happened just now, I can't say a word, when I found Miss Zhou, she was already unconscious!" First take your young lady to find a room to rest, and then find a doctor to take a look at her, as long as she wakes up, she will naturally know what happened! ”
"Childe, you haven't answered my question yet, who are you? How do you know who we're looking for? Xiao Nan blocked Zhenbei's way and was aggressive.
This is a sign of distrust of her!
Seeing her solemn appearance with angry eyebrows, Zhen Bei knew that if she didn't answer her question, she was afraid that she would not give up, so she had to say helplessly: "Here is Gu Zhenbei, a student of Hanmen Academy B School, and Zhou Yufei is the senior sister below, she used to be our Go assistant teacher, I naturally know and recognize her!" And you're shouting 'Miss Zhou' all over the place - I say that, you probably understand? ”
As soon as Xiao Nan heard that the other party was a student of Hanmen Academy, most of his suspicions had gone, and when he heard that his name was Gu Zhenbei, all his suspicions dissipated in an instant!
She had heard a lot about Gu Zhenbei from her masters, and she looked at the other party again with burning eyes, Xiao Nan pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that you are Gu Gongzi!" ”
Zhen Bei saw this familiar gossip in her eyes, and she understood something, she saw that some palace people who helped to find people came out of Merlin one after another, and knew that there would be no more accidents, so she hurriedly explained a few words, and then ran away.
Knowing the direction at this time, it is directly south of the bamboo forest.
The venue of the banquet was due north, not far from where she was, however, Zhenbei had to avoid the dilapidated palace, the bamboo forest, and Xiao Nan and the others, and walked in a big circle.
As she walked, she secretly pondered and speculated about what happened one after another.
She came to Nanyang Palace for the "first time", logically speaking, she should not have offended and provoked any powerful people, but who would go to great lengths to trick and murder a person she didn't know?
But if these mazes existed in the first place, why hadn't anyone ever heard of them before?
Besides, how could Zhou Yufei suddenly enter the dilapidated courtyard?
The black creature that attacked her was the culprit in the many murders?
Zhenbei was immersed in thoughts, completely unaware of a person walking at the fork in the road opposite.
She couldn't dodge and nearly knocked her opponent to the ground.
The man was about the same age as Zhenbei, with very handsome features, and was sitting on a wooden chair with two thick wooden wheels on each side of the chair.
"I'm sorry, I was too confused to see anyone coming! You, are you alright? Seeing that the other party's face was pale, Zhenbei thought that Fang had just frightened him, and hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, I'm distracted." The young man looked at Zhen Bei and smiled slightly, and said.
His voice is warm and low, pleasant, like a spring breeze.
