Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1513 Confusion
  Tao Zhi felt the tingling sensation on the skin of his throat and laughed awkwardly.

At this time, the guard behind him seemed to want to say something, but Thief Zhi didn't care. He just hit him with an elbow with his backhand, knocking him unconscious.

Then he gently pushed Wei Zhuang's shark-tooth sword away with a smile, and explained by the way:

"This guy has been staring at me all day long. It's hard to even take a breath. I've wanted to hit him for a long time!"

This explanation is superfluous. I really want to take revenge on the guard. Watching him die under Wei Zhuang's sword is enough. It's clear that I just want to save people.

Wei Zhuang was too lazy to worry about the life and death of an insignificant pawn. He sheathed his sword, glanced at Gai Nie, and said sarcastically:
  "Weak people always like to use kindness to cover up their inner cowardice!"

Gai Nie was too lazy to pay attention to this junior brother who couldn't help but be weird for a while, so he brought the topic back to the right track:

"Time is running out, go find the cook quickly."

Hearing this, Thief Zhi raised his hand and brushed the two locks of hair on his forehead, and said with a suspicious look on his face:

"I have figured out the location of the chef."

"But... I feel like there's something wrong."

"What's the problem?" Gai Nie asked with an eyebrow.

"This prison!" Thief Zhi pointed to the top of the prison. "This prison should have a lot of facilities, but I didn't see any gears on the way in when I was imprisoned, so the gear sets are probably hidden."

"The only exception is here. A large number of transmission gear sets are directly exposed in the sky. However, there are only transmission gears here and no energy supply system. This means that this is not the center of the mechanism, but it is very special."

Wei Zhuang answered coldly, "The issue of the agency is not within our scope of consideration."

"But I'm curious why Zhang Han deliberately locked me up here!" Thief Zhi replied, spreading his hands, "This place doesn't look like a prison, and the level of protection is not as tight as other areas."

"The only special thing is probably that it is located deep and difficult to find."

"Do you think Zhang Han is counting on taking a detour to confuse you?"

"He has known our plan for a long time. He deliberately exposed the location of the butcher to me. This prison was specially chosen for me."

"I don't know what he's going to play next, but... there's definitely something wrong."

"Let's go!" Wei Zhuang responded.

Whether Zhang Han is easy to deal with, he and Gai Nie know much better than Tao Zhi - one of them is his former colleague, and the other is half of his current colleague.

Zhang Han must have a plan!
  But so what?

The Mohist's throwing stones to ask for directions was an underhanded conspiracy, and Zhang Han's standing still and waiting was also an underhanded plan.

There is no other way to deal with this situation. Let everyone use their own abilities to deal with the situation.

………………

Above the mirage, there is a cherry blossom garden.

Looking at the two cherry blossom gardens that were almost the same before and after, Tianming smacked his lips a few times and said with a smile, "It seems like we can't do it if we don't go in."

Shao Yu and Shi Lan looked at each other and had no choice but to accept this reality.

The three of them immediately walked into the Sakura Garden.

However, the courtyard was also surrounded by corridors, so the three of them were not in a hurry to officially step into the courtyard, and first walked around along the corridors.

After walking half a circle around the corridor, they came to the other side of the yard. Sure enough, they saw the same sliding door again.

The three of them looked at each other without saying anything. They stepped forward and opened the door. As expected, they saw the same cherry blossom garden.

"Sure enough..." Shi Lan looked at the scene that seemed to be going back, nodding slightly and murmuring.

After hearing this, Shao Yu asked curiously, "Shi Lan, did you find anything?" Shi Lan shook his head, "I just have a guess... Let's keep walking."

Shao Yu and Tian Ming, however, were not in a hurry to ask questions and continued to move forward with Shi Lan.

The three of them walked around several cherry blossom gardens with similar heights, then opened the door again, and suddenly found that it was dark.

They saw that the stone lanterns in the courtyard that had just appeared in front of them were already on. The sky was dark, and only the pale yellow light lingered in the courtyard. For a while, the scenery became more pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that no one has the leisure to enjoy flowers now.

Tianming rubbed his head with a confused look on his face and wondered, "Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"Are we under an illusion?" Shao Yu guessed with a frown.

"Illusion?" Tianming became even more confused after hearing this, "We haven't seen anyone, how could we be under the illusion?"

Shi Lan shook his head at this time, "It shouldn't be an illusion."

"There is a kind of maze in Shu Mountain called Shu Dao. Once people who don't understand it step into it rashly, they will lose their way and find it difficult to escape."

"Everyone says that the road to Shu is difficult, but I didn't expect that not only is the road difficult to walk, but it also refers to a kind of maze." Shao Yu agreed with a smile.

After Tianming heard this, he was confused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile, "I don't understand what Shu Dao or the maze you are talking about."

"But judging from what you're saying, it's probably just a ghost trying to beat the wall!"

When Shi Lan heard Tianming's understanding, she couldn't help but smile, shook her head and explained, "It's still different."

"Although the road to Shu is difficult, it can be walked out by those who understand its rules."

"Well..." Shao Yu shook his head and praised Shi Lan, "It's just like the battle formations of our soldiers. For our own soldiers, knowing the rules will naturally allow them to advance and retreat freely, but for enemy soldiers who don't know what to do, they can move forward and retreat freely. If you say it, you will just get stuck in it and be unable to extricate yourself.”

Shi Lan nodded, then turned to look at the dim courtyard, "I suspect that this courtyard is a maze."

"Uh... Shi Lan, do you know how to get out?" Tianming couldn't understand what Shi Lan and Shao Yu said, but he knew exactly what he needed now.

"This maze is probably based on Yin Yang magic. It may be difficult for outsiders to see through the rules." Shi Lan shook his head and replied.

"Uh... that means it's just a matter of trying to beat the wall!" Tian Ming sighed and concluded concisely.

Shao Yu touched his chin and analyzed, "We entered that room before and fell into the maze after that, so... the room is probably the key to solving the puzzle."

"But with only this one clue, it's difficult to detect the pattern." Shi Lan responded in a deep voice.

When Tian Ming heard this, he couldn't help but droop his head dejectedly.

But at this moment, he seemed to notice a moving object in the corner of his eye.

After regaining consciousness, Tianming hurriedly raised his head to look. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly patted Shaoyu next to him:
  "Look, look!"

"Someone!"

Shao Yu and Shi Lan heard the sound and quickly followed Tianming's line of sight. They saw an opened sliding door in the opposite corner of the courtyard, and a group of boys and girls holding lanterns were walking through the corridor inside.

Among the childhood girls, there is also a figure of a girl in special clothes.

Shi Lan recognized at a glance the girl who was sent up to the mirage with the Moon God when they witnessed the boys and girls boarding the ship that night.

The three of them were stunned, and the group of people walked past the sliding door, looking to go away.

Shaoyu didn't dare to delay and rushed out directly, "Catch up first!"
