Zhuge Liang and his entourage quickly dived to the bottom of the well, and with the reflection of the torch in their hands, they could see that there was a one-meter-square road in front of them.

The crowd took a deep breath and rushed in. After walking a distance of about four or five hundred meters, it finally began to become wider, and everyone could stand up straight and observe the surrounding situation. The walls of the corridor are all made of blue bricks, which seem to be artificially built, and the walls are also painted with dense lines to form patterns, but because the time is too long, the colors on them have been mottled, and Zhuge Liang can only vaguely identify the monsters that appear in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as the dragon, Zhu Yan, tengu, and kui.

I don't know how long I walked, Zhuge Liang suddenly stopped, carefully identified the mural with a solemn expression, and then took out the short blade from his arms and tried to make a cut in the mural! Only then did he continue to move forward, and after walking for another distance, Zhuge Liang stopped again, staring at the wall, a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but slide down his cheek, and the three guards also surrounded him, only to see a scratch left on the wall, which was obviously drawn by Zhuge Liang himself.

"Your Excellency... This... What's going on? Although the guard was not afraid of death, he was still quite afraid of such an unthinkable thing, and asked tremblingly.

"Don't panic!" As he spoke, Zhuge Liang called a guard and ordered him to walk and draw on one side of the wall, everyone did as they said, Zhuge Liang counted silently in his heart, and walked out for a while, and the guard in front of him said in a panic: "My lord..."

A few people stepped forward, and sure enough, they found that there were two scratches on the wall in front of them, one horizontal and one vertical, the vertical one was carved by Zhuge Liang, and the horizontal one was extended into the distance, which was obviously carved by the previous guards.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and did not move forward blindly, but sat down cross-legged directly, closed his eyes and pondered... The three guards didn't dare to disturb, so they could only nervously protect the surroundings.

"Your Excellency... Why don't I go down and try it myself? One of them, who looked the oldest, asked.

“... That's all there is to it. Remember to use a knife to draw a line on the right side when walking! Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, and couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he could only point to the other wall and nod in agreement.

The guard acted according to the order, holding the torch in his left hand, and paddling while walking with his right hand, just a few steps away, Zhuge Liang in the rear seemed to have found something, called the guard, and finally walked a few steps to the guard's side, staring at the torch in his hand.

"Did you find out?"

"Don't you think there's something wrong with the direction of the torch?"

The other two guards also rushed over, Zhuge Liang ordered the guard to stretch out his arm so that the torch was parallel to his body, at this time, everyone also noticed the problem, the flame burned, it was actually tilted towards the distance of the road...

"There's a problem here, you keep this position and keep walking, I'll stop you if you tell you to stop."

In this way, the group walked and stopped, and after repeating this more than ten times, the flame on the guard torch in front finally went vertically, and at this time, the rest of the people also came closer, and Zhuge Liang carefully observed the knife marks on the wall and finally found something unusual.

He drew the dagger and tried to scratch it on the wall again, and sure enough, when the dagger crossed a certain point, it seemed to stagger directly upwards by nearly a centimeter. Tried a few times and it was all the same.

After marking the place, several people followed this method and returned to the area, eventually discovering that there were five such nodes.

Without hesitation, Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "Now, let's go back from here!" ”

Everyone received the order and quickly moved to the next node, but the amazing thing was that the place where they were supposed to return to the mark five was now showing three! Everyone was puzzled, but Zhuge Liang was not surprised, and when he said hello, everyone continued to go in the opposite direction, and this time he actually returned to the new one.

Continue to march again, and sure enough, he came to the position of three again, this time Zhuge Liang ordered everyone to turn around again, and when they came to the node again, they found that it was marked two.

This time, the three guards also found out the clues, and they all showed joy!

"Let's extinguish the extra torches as a backup, keep only one, and then everyone follow me!"

This was repeated more than ten times, and finally after a node, everyone was stunned to find that there were no knife marks on the wall in front of them, and a hanging heart finally fell.

"Let's go, we should be going out soon!"

After speaking, one of the guards led the way in advance, and the other two were behind Zhuge Liang.

After walking for about four or five miles, a corner appeared in the road in front of him, and a faint light leaked out of the corner.

At this time, the guards were secretly afraid in their hearts, if it wasn't for this lord to follow, but Gan Ning to take the lead, everyone would probably be trapped in this secret passage for no apparent reason!

Soon, everyone passed through the corner and saw a staircase that was sloping upward.

The leading guard drew his broadsword behind him, tentatively climbed up step by step, and it didn't take long for him to walk out of the passage.

"It's safe up there, adults can come up!"

Hearing this, everyone rushed out.

The dazzling sunlight made the group a little unable to come back to their senses, and after a long time, they adapted to the light outside, Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment the scorching sun was in the sky, it should be around noon.

I didn't expect to be delayed in the tunnel for more than two hours, and there is not much time left for me, and I may encounter this situation when I go back, at least one hour of time is safe, that is, I only have one hour to use! ’

After thinking about this, Zhuge Liang began to look around.

At this moment, everyone was in front of a rockery, and the shape of the place where they were standing should have been a pool, but at this moment it was already overgrown with weeds, and the reeds two or three meters high blocked everyone's sight. Looking back, you can vaguely see a step straight down from the hole in the rockery.

At this time, there were already guards trying to cut through the reeds in front of them, and a winding path appeared in front of everyone, and after about a stick of incense, everyone finally came out of the pool full of reeds and came to a courtyard, the ground was full of dust, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

However, no one paid attention to these at this moment, and everyone's attention, including Zhuge Liang, was attracted by a black temple about ten meters high in front of them.

The temple appears to have been constructed of an unknown black metal, even the central gate. It looks absolutely shocking! Looking at the material, it is somewhat like the mysterious object in the shape of a water drop that Gan Ning got from Wang Dafu before.

A guard stepped forward and tried to push open the heavy temple door, and with a strong push, the door seemed to open with a sound as if it were nothing! The guards didn't expect this, and the whole person stumbled and fell directly into the temple.

"Thirty-three, what's going on inside?"

No matter how the guards outside shouted, there was no response inside, as if the temple in front of him was like a monster's open mouth, choosing people to devour!
