Chapter 56: Danxia's Maze

In the dark night before dawn, everything is silent, and the four minions who take turns to guard the village gate on the night shift do not have much mental gag, but they are leaning against the wall or the door, squinting and napping.

However, within a moment, the four minions had lost their breath one after another, and they were not annoyed that they had not been relieved by not seeing the dawn, but they were angry that they had not had a good dream tonight.

"Young heroes, don't be merciful, you leave them alive at this time, if we escape in embarrassment, they will definitely not show mercy. If you don't kill people, people will kill you, you can't escape, you can't hide, you still have to kill people in order to survive. Zhang San found that Jiang Yichen was just stunned, so he stepped forward to make up for it, and heard a creak, obviously his neck was broken, and then he pointed softly before stepping into the door.

Situ Zhong also nodded at Jiang Yichen a few times, signaling "The boss is right", and then hurriedly kept up with Zhang San's pace.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen sighed lightly, did not dare to slack off, and followed closely.

The sound of rustling footsteps in the autumn leaves falling one after another, the rustling background sound was obviously not enough to attract attention, alarming, at least for now, these bandits in the village have not been alarmed by the three of them, as for the listless night patrol minions have not made any sound, made any struggle, and went to report to Hades.

The guards of the villa were so lax, and the hour was one of the reasons, but the three of them were eight points sure that Ku Bing had not returned to the villa, so the vigilance in the villa had not been raised, and they had not yet encountered any resistance, which could be described as a fish in water.

"Going around and around, I'm afraid we're still on the outskirts of the villa. ”

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any clues here, so I'll have to go inside. ”

"Then let's go inside. ”

"Can you go inside?"

"No, since you're here, you'll find out. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

The simple conversation between Zhang San and Situ Zhong has been following behind, and Jiang Yichen, who is already sleepy, is a little more energetic.

Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and the specific layout of the villa has not been clarified, the three people who broke in with only a moment of whim, at this time are like headless flies scurrying around in the dark, although they can use their dexterous skills to quietly dispose of those night vigil minions, and then there is no follow-up, and it is difficult to move forward.

The three of them quickly walked through the courtyards in the villa, these courtyards all looked average, surrounded by walls on all sides, the wing rooms on one side, the corridors attached to the wing rooms, the hanging flower gates that connected the other courtyards on the left and right sides of the courtyard and the back side, except for the hanging flower doors on the front and back of the first courtyard behind the village gate in the early morning, the rest of the courtyards were not easy to distinguish in the night, and the three of them could only use the vigil minions lying on the ground, which could also be called corpses, as a reference to distinguish the various courtyards they walked through.

Gradually, they discovered that it was a labyrinth, and after passing through several courtyards, they would return to the same place they had walked before.

At the beginning of the dawn in the east, Situ Zhong couldn't help but be a little anxious, jumping on the wall of the courtyard to observe, or standing on the highest eaves of the wing house to look into the distance.

The trio concluded that there was something strange about the layout of the cottage that had caused them to keep going around, and the three decided to carefully walk through the courtyards one by one, trying to find a pattern.

"One", "two", "three", "four", "five", "one", "two", "six", "seven", "eight", "three", ......

"This is back to square one. Jiang Yichen said.

"Yes, this place I remember is also Courtyard One. "Zhangsan is definitely here.

"Ahem, although I really want to praise you for not remembering the confusion, but the courtyard is the only one with doorways on all sides, do you still need to remember?" Situ Zhong looked embarrassed, and the other two were also embarrassed when they heard the words and looked around the courtyard.

The three of them numbered the courtyards they saw in turn, and each memorized the order in which they entered, and finally found that it was still a mess and irregular, and the only thing they knew for sure was that there were eight courtyards they had walked through.

"Eight, should you go out in the order of the gossip?" Jiang Yichen then remembered that this was once the alchemy villa of Wudang, and the layout of the villa should be consistent with the Taiji gossip, and the five-element chess pieces suspended in the Wudang secret cave should be stepped on in the order of the five elements to open the secret door, and the same will be true here.

"After so many trips, we have walked in numbered order, reverse order, clockwise, and counterclockwise, but there is not necessarily any change?" Situ Zhong disagreed.

"Bagua Array, I've heard of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array used for marching and fighting, in this way, this number is made up by ourselves, if we want to be accurate, we need to distinguish which courtyard is the dry courtyard, which is the courtyard to find out the real order...... "Zhang San scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, as if he racked his brains," No, no, it's still hard to explain, according to the order, each hexagram corresponds to a palace, that is, corresponds to a courtyard, in addition to this, there should also be a middle palace, that is, nine courtyards, we have walked so much, the courtyard is indeed only eight good, so where did the other courtyard go?"

Zhang San only knew a little about gossip, and after a rough analysis, he could only throw the question back to the two of them, however, Jiang Yichen and Situ Zhong were also confused.

"It seems that the missing middle palace is our destination. Situ Zhong seemed to have an understanding, squinted and nodded, very sure of his thoughts.

"How do you know that what is missing is the middle palace, not the other gossip courtyards. Regarding Situ Zhong's unthinking reply, Zhang San disagreed.

Situ Zhong also had no evidence, just speculation, and it was difficult to find a statement when he was questioned, so he didn't bother to waste his words.

The three of them came in high spirits, but they were trapped by the layout of Danxia Villa, and their mood couldn't help but be a little low.

Seeing this scene, Zhang San also felt that his decision was too reckless, but now it is difficult to go to the depths of the villa, if he retreats without finding anything, he will lose face, but he really can't advance or retreat.

"Let's find a corner and rest for a while. Zhang San reluctantly spoke, Jiang Yichen and Situ Zhong had no objections, and the three of them hid behind the side of the courtyard room to rest against the wall.

The sky was getting white, and the three of them still made no progress, and finally, a few panicked cries broke the silence of the villa.

"There are assassins!"

"Someone, there's an assassin!"

"There are thieves sneaking into the villa, everyone get up and arrest people!"

Soon, the group of bandits in Danxia Villa showed their disciplined side, and in the courtyard where Jiang Yichen and the three of them were, although the group of minions was sparsely placed, they were all fully armed after they walked out of the side room, and after a while, they began to devote themselves to searching for the assassins who broke into the village and wiped out their companions at vigil.

As for why Jiang Yichen and the three of them knew the whereabouts of this group of minions so well, it turned out that they had already seen the opportunity, took advantage of the time difference, and took advantage of the gap to hide in the wing.

"Looks like these guys have to be searched for a while, why don't we rest here for a while?"

Situ Zhong's proposal this time did not receive a response, but it was obviously recognized by the public, and I saw that Jiang Yichen and Zhang San had already picked a good position on this Chase Shop, closed their eyes and lay down.

The corners of Situ Zhong's mouth twitched, and he didn't have the strength to attack, it was the right thing to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to nourish his spirit, and he was really tired after running blindly all night.

Compared with the quiet and warm in the house, the outside of the wing room is very lively, not only the courtyard where Jiang Yichen and the three of them are, but also the eight outer courtyards of Danxia Villa are boiling because of the masterpieces of the three of them last night.

Each of the eight outer courtyards of Danxia Villa has eight courtyard chiefs presiding over the overall situation, and at this moment, the eight people have gathered in one place, all of whom are pale.

Overnight, the eight courtyards were all visited by gangsters, none of the four night watchmen in each courtyard survived, and the four watchmen at the gate of the village were also spared. Fortunately, there is nothing unusual in Neizhuang, otherwise, the heads of the eight of them would have to be handed over to the bigwigs of Neizhuang today.

"Check! Check it out carefully for me! Don't let go of every corner!" The courtyard of the Qianyuan is the head of the eight courtyards, born with a tiger's back, a black skin and a round face, and a face full of beard that looks fierce and vicious.

The other seven courtyard chiefs ordered their subordinates to do so even if they didn't get this order, and there was no need to touch the moldy head of this courtyard at this time, and they all took the order to go, and Da Biao, after pondering for a long time, finally decided to ask the lord of Neizhuang and ask him what he had to say.

The chickens and dogs outside had already jumped over a stick of incense, and the three people in the side room fell asleep unconsciously.

Suddenly feeling that someone was patting his cheek, Jiang Yichen was woken up from his sweet dream, sleepy-eyed, as if he saw a black shadow in front of him, and immediately, he wrapped his fingers and stabbed the man's neck.
