When Zhuge Liang opened his eyes again, the sky was already clear, the morning sun was shining on the ruined village, and the faintly visible grass on the ground seemed to bring a trace of life to this place, and the terrifying black fog of last night had disappeared without a trace!

Seeing that there was no more danger, a few people simply filled their stomachs and then entered the village again!

After some investigation, everyone returned to the entrance of the village and got a shocking result!

This village is not very large, there are only about forty or fifty households, and each of them has at least one or two skeletons, and eleven skeletons were found in the largest courtyard, and the smallest of them was only the size of a small arm, which should have been a newborn baby!

The most incredible thing is that all the bones are lying on the bed!

"Could it be that someone brought their bodies back to bed after they died?" Gan Ning asked with a frown.

"No... I checked just now, and there are no traces of moving, otherwise it would be difficult to put it so neatly, especially in some places where there are obvious traces of being burned by fire, which is also consistent with the records I saw in Xiangping! ”

"Was it really burned? But it's not right, if one or two people didn't react, it would be forgivable to be burned to death in their sleep, but the whole village was burned to death peacefully, this is a bit sensational! ”

“… I think it should be related to the black fog last night, the black fog is formless and substantial, and it appeared at midnight, so it makes sense, and the reason why the village was set on fire again... It is likely to be to hide the secret of some unknown people, and this secret should be related to that mysterious temple! ”

As if thinking of something, Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Ji on the side and asked, "Ji'er, do you remember if you saw the black mist when we went out?" ”

Yuan Ji pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, it's just... Ji'er got up and talked to her husband before she realized! ”

After speaking, Yuan Ji's face turned red, after all, a woman was still a little embarrassed to talk about things like going to the toilet in front of a group of men.

At this time, the others didn't notice this, but stared directly at Zhuge Liang who closed his eyes and pondered.

After a few breaths, Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes and showed a look of struggle.

"Kong Ming, do you see anything?" Gan Ning saw that the other party's expression was strange, so he took the initiative to ask.

“… At present, we have two choices, one is to return to Jingzhou, this trip not only found out that there are still witch cultists in Youzhou, but even have an affair with a foreign race! It's worth the trip!

As for the two... Now that we're here, let's just explore the temple directly, but how many people will survive, I don't know! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Gan Ning spoke: "Kong Ming has determined the location of the temple?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then added: "This time we have been exposed, the Witch Gu Sect only needs to investigate in Xiangping, it is not difficult to guess our target, Liang speculates, at most ten days, they will destroy this temple, and if we want to investigate, it is not a simple function of three years and five years!" ”

“… I understand what Kong Ming meant, but before leaving, the divination hexagram..."Gan Ning didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear, Zhuge Liang was talking about nine deaths and one life at that time!

"So, I'm definitely not going to let Ji'er take the risk... As for the life and death of the rest, Ryo has no right to decide! Zhuge Liang said categorically.

"Husband! What are you talking about? Ignoring Yuan Ji, Zhuge Liang looked at the rest of the people.

The three guards knelt directly on one knee, the meaning was self-evident, Gan Ning sighed, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang, and then said: "In this case, let's go to the village first!" ”

After speaking, he took Yuan Ji's little hand and walked into the village again, and after walking to the house where he lived temporarily, Zhuge Liang stood in place and began to discern the direction.

"Didn't you say in the mountains?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously.

"No, Xingba has ever remembered that the classics record that the villagers have not returned from two expeditions, which proves that the road up the mountain is absolutely impossible, or that it is a dead end, and the real way of life is in the village!"

Gan Ning is not a stupid person, and quickly reacted and exclaimed: "You mean... Last night's black fog? ”

"Yes, the black fog can't appear out of thin air, there must be a place in the village that connects to the mysterious temple, if you grasp the time, you can enter the temple directly!

Liang had carefully calculated that the time when the black fog appeared at that time should be the time of the morning (around 12 o'clock in the morning), that is, as long as he returned to the village before the evening (11 o'clock to 12 o'clock in the evening), he would be safe!

It should have taken a quarter of an hour since Ji'er and I discovered the black fog to spread to the entrance of the village, and then the speed of the black fog movement can be deduced according to the distance from the entrance of the village to this side, and so on... The black fog should be half a mile ahead! ”

If He Si'an heard Zhuge Liang's words, he would definitely rise up and shout: "It is worthy of Wolong!" It was seamlessly connected to the additional questions of the third grade of primary school in later generations, Zhuge Kongming, terrifying! ”

The people present didn't have He Si'an's experience, and they were dumbfounded, although they couldn't understand it, they seemed to be very powerful...

Soon, everyone followed the direction pointed by Zhuge Liang, and sure enough, they found that there was an ancient well next to a dead tree!

Zhuge Liang picked up the stone on the side and threw it down, there was a 'snap' sound, obviously there was no water in the well, and the bottom of the well was not deep.

Then, Zhuge Liang lit a torch and threw it down, and the bottom of the well was illuminated in an instant.

Everyone looked over, only to see that this well was about five or six meters deep, and by the light of the torch, it could be seen that there was a passage on one side, which was the road to the mysterious temple that Zhuge Liang had just said!

One of the guards didn't say a word, took out a rope and tied it to the trunk of a dead tree on the side, and he dragged the rope and slowly slid down the well, only about ten breaths, and the guard's reply came from below!

"Xingba, you and Ji'er stay here and wait for us, if we don't come up at night, you will escort Ji'er back to Jingzhou!"

"No way!" Several voices rang out in unison!

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Ji'er, your body is weak, and it will be a burden to go down; Xingba, you have the highest martial arts, and you must stay in Jingzhou for thousands of miles to go south; As for Ryo, he was the only one in the group who knew the art of leyline mechanism, so I had to go too! ”

After speaking, he looked at the other two guards and arched his hand: "Please two!" ”

Gan Ning knew that people like Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia, once they decided something, no one could change it, so he didn't say anything more, so he could only nod solemnly.

Yuan Ji didn't think too much, stepped forward, hugged Zhuge Liang with tears, didn't care about shame, kissed Zhuge Liang's lips directly, and then whispered in his ear: "Husband, I want you to come back, otherwise I don't know what the common people are careless!" I only know that Ji'er and the child in her belly can't live without a father, if you die, our mother and son will die with you! ”

After saying that, take a few steps back and turn your head angrily!
