Chapter 13 Nangong

The South Palace and the North Palace are completely different, and the structure of the whole "palace" is more like the remains of European-style architecture, and from time to time you can see a few European-style carvings and broken sculpture skins. And compared to the damp North Palace, the South Palace is so dry that it makes people feel like they are about to become dehydrated. The temperature is not better than outside, and it is obviously the temperature of the hot summer.

Yin Su wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was dressed a little tightly, and she was exhaling like a puppy at this time. Han Chuyi was as calm as ever, perhaps because he was wearing something half-exposed, and he didn't even sweat a few drops.

However, this pair of two people who have been through so much is not much of a threat, and most seriously, they can clearly feel that the terrain here is changing rapidly. Because of the ruined building, the ceiling and walls are peeling off, and sometimes you can see sunlight pouring in overhead. Even in such a state where they could see outside, they were lost here for at least 3 hours.

At least there is plenty of water, but it's not good.

Yin Su took off her shawl and asked, "Han Chuyi, do you have any way?" Before the labyrinth of the North Palace, you quickly found a way out. ”

Han Chuyi frowned and shook his head: "The terrain here has changed too much, even I don't know how to get out, so I can only try my luck." ”

Yin Su also sighed, it was not a way to go on like this, she was not so confident in her luck. Then at least we have to find out the root cause of the terrain change here, although after seeing so many strange things, she began to think that it was magic, but there must be a set of rules.

She cautiously stepped down the downhill steps, which they had only walked down from the time they entered, but could be seen through the gap leading to the outside, and they were now quite above the horizon. What sent them to the heights? Yin Su bowed his head in contemplation.

"I'll go down alone, and you stay up there." Yin Su frowned, and slowly went downstairs while gesturing to Han Chuyi in a backward form.

Han Chuyi seemed to be a little hesitant, but after seeing her such a serious expression, he still stood in place, observing Yin Su's every move with his eyes.

The two stared at each other's direction and gradually moved away, but in the next second, Yin Su disappeared from his field of vision.

“?!” Han Chuyi hurriedly looked around, and there was no figure to be seen, some were just marble blocks covered with dust, and the eyes of a broken sculpture seemed to be staring at him, mocking his incompetence. He moved anxiously and ran towards the place where Yin Su had disappeared. The staircase looked very long, but in the next second, it fell heavily on the ground. The rough ground that had been worn all the year round gave his bare skin some abrasions, and Han Chuyi sighed in pain, but his skin was slowly healing.

He patted the dust on the wound, frowned and sneered: "His ability is really convenient." ”

Yin Su on the other side braked suddenly, and she felt the cold wind whistling behind her. So she turned around and immediately turned around, and sure enough, there were no steps behind her, only the broken ventilation windows of the fence. Yin Su's heels were teetering on the edge, and she adjusted her balance and leaned forward, returning to safety.

Sure enough, Yin Su furrowed her little short eyebrows and observed the terrain outside the window. She grew up lacking self-confidence, but at least that's something she can be proud to speak of – her memory is so extraordinary that she can barely remember it.

They must have been to this place before, so it seems that it is not the terrain that has moved, but the people themselves. It was different from the long stone cave in Beigong that blindly extended the space, and she could see the difference here. But she didn't encounter any living beings like "people" along the way, which means that this place is just working according to the original "code", and since that is the case, she is confident that she can find a way out. Yin Su showed a faint smile, and her originally pale lips gradually turned bloody under the food and clothing of several people, with peach-like powder.

She wasn't worried about her situation, let alone Han Chuyi.

Yin Su cautiously observed the surrounding passages, there were three in total, although one of them was theoretically the way they came, but that could not rule out the possibility of an exit. She closed her eyes and integrated the scenes along the way in her mind.

The road to the west has seen the cracks on the wall before, and the entrance is not far from the view of the window, so this road should be the way it came; The sculpture on the roadside on the east side also has the impression that it should have been transported here; Although I came downstairs from the north, I didn't see the road to the north at all...... Yin Su pursed her lips and walked forward while staring at the cracks in the floor beneath her feet.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Over here! Yin Su noticed the sudden change of the stone bricks under his feet, but here they were all disorganized stones that were almost the same as before, and normal people would not change their position at all. "Twelve steps from there will change your position......" Yin Su muttered to herself. She took a closer look around, and this was one of the places she had just visited. She rummaged through the package left by Zhao Hui for a while, and sure enough, she found a pen and paper. With the memory of three hours in it, she drew a map on paper.

"Done!" Yin Su held up the paper complacently, she had just stayed in place and it had not been legended, and she saw that this was a mechanism that only looked at the position and did not look at the time. The map was incomplete, and there were still a lot of blanks, and since the exact location was not known, it had to be teleported several times before it could be fully clarified. Yin Su pondered as he began to probe.

The six steps on the left will come back here, the fourteenth step of the stairs is the trigger point, and this statue again, for the third time! Yin Su continued to wander through the lost palace, the blanks on the paper being filled in little by little, replaced by lines drawn and red dots marking trigger points. Finally, on the 7th hour after entering the South Palace, another night after entering the Star Lake Festival, she completed the map.

It is now about two-thirds of the way to the west of the South Palace...... I don't know where the entrance is, but I can at least confirm my location.

"Yin Su!" Han Chuyi's voice came from a high place.

Yin Su raised his head and roared loudly: "Stay there and don't leave!" ”

She smiled bitterly, she hadn't seen Han Chuyi for 4 hours, how good he was at running. Yin Su took nine steps towards the fork on the right as if he were walking, and then took three steps back.

"Bell, bell, bell!" The girl appeared behind Han Chuyi with a smile.

Han Chuyi instantly grasped the spear, stabbed forward with both hands, and the tip of the spear went straight to Yin Su's throat. Yin Su was so frightened that he almost cried, he hurriedly put away his hand, and stepped in two steps to apologize to her.

Yin Su seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her surprise being so rewarded, and she looked away angrily: "Why, I can't even hear my voice." ”

Han Chuyi smiled bitterly, as if he was a little amused by this wayward little lady, there was no chance that willful and reckless behavior could be allowed in such an era, but he was willing to be her only. So the boy touched her hair and smiled flatteringly at Yin Su: "Of course I know, but I have to be on guard." ”

Yin Su was obviously very dissatisfied with the reply, but she didn't care: "Let's not talk about this first, you see." Yin Su handed him the map he was holding in his hand and smiled at him ostentatiously, "Although I don't know where the exit is yet, but with this, I can find it sooner or later." I've already written this down, so take it and be careful not to get lost again. ”

Although you were the first to "get lost". Han Chuyi complained in his heart.

"You don't seem surprised?" Yin Su originally thought that he would be able to scare the boy who was not alarmed, but he still smiled and his eyes flickered: "I guessed it when you appeared behind me, I think it's very powerful." ”

In order to prevent being separated again, the two held hands and circled along the map. In a few moments, they were in front of a huge marble statue.

Yin Su couldn't be more familiar with the scene in front of her, this was the statue she had passed by several times before! Yin Su saw Han Chuyi stop in front of the statue, she stared at the other party suspiciously, touching up and down the statue: "What are you doing?" ”

"Oh," Han Chuyi straightened up and replied, "There is only one statue here that is flawless, and you haven't found an exit after walking for so long, so I'm wondering if there could be some mechanism or something." Yin Su raised her eyebrows, although she gave Han Chuyi a map, but on the way here, it was more like he was guiding Yin Su here, could he have known it a long time ago? It can't be that I looked up the guide on the Internet or something.

"Found it, found it!" Only a few clicks were heard, the statue's little finger was broken, and the ground rumbled and trembled. After a few seconds, a downward stone staircase appeared on the wall behind the statue. Along the way, the torches that either fell to the ground or hung on the wall "fluttered" and flashed red under the starlight of the night. More than warmth, I felt fear. The stone steps were not lit by torches, but in the passage without a light opening, you could barely see a faint red glow at the bottom of the steps.

Han Chuyi picked up a nearby torch, pinched Yin Su's trembling hand, and stepped in cautiously.
