"..."

After hearing what Yang Wanli said, everyone's hearts trembled.

Wu Liang knew that he was the one who should not be confused at this time, so he forced himself to stay calm and said without changing his expression: "Don't panic. First, please tell me in detail what you saw and heard in Janni City during this trip. Don't miss anything."

."

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded, and then said, "That day, Young Master, I returned to Shanni City on your orders. I didn't find anything unusual along the way. When I arrived at Shanni City, I found that the city gate was wide open, but there was no guard under the door.

The army was guarding it, and not a single commoner or merchant came in and out of the city gate on weekdays. At that time, I already had some doubts in my heart."

"As a result, when I entered the city, I found that there was no one in the city. Even the common animals were completely missing. Just like the rumors said, there was no one who could breathe in the entire city.

No, but other things seemed like there were still living people living in the city just now, but they suddenly disappeared the moment I entered the city."

"At that time, I was already feeling chilled, but I still wanted to see if I could find our brothers from the Hu army, so I braved all the way and rushed into the palace."

"The palace was also empty. Even the brothers from the Hu army who stayed in the palace were nowhere to be found. However, I bravely searched around inside, but I finally found an unexpected person.

Outsiders, this person is none other than Fang Qiong, who fell into a coma in the white dragon pile. She is still lying motionless as before, with a weak pulse and breathing..."

"I know in my heart that there is a big problem with this woman. Now that all the living creatures in Zanni City have disappeared, she is the only one who has survived. This makes it even more problematic."

"So I didn't dare to take her with me easily. Instead, I found a rope and tied her firmly to the bed, and then rushed back to report to the young master without stopping."

Having said this, Yang Wanli finally stopped and said with a worried look on his face: "Master, this is what I saw and heard in Janni City. Please make your decision."

"So it seems... we are the ones who strayed into the strange world, and not Prince Chamu and his party?"

Yu Ji reluctantly expressed the conclusion he had reached.

"..."

Although everyone didn't answer, their faces had the default expression.

This is an obvious thing. Although it is slightly different from the rumored situation, it is obvious that they are the ones who are wrong now.

"Looking at the bright side, at least we are not trapped in an ancient city without gates by a sandstorm like the rumors, unable to advance or retreat."

Wu Liang could still maintain an optimistic attitude at this moment, and said in a deep voice, "We are not completely trapped, so we still have some room to operate. In addition... there are still several things worth pondering about this matter, such as this trap

How big is our strange world? According to rumors, the caravan was just trapped in an ancient city, but now we seem to be trapped in a world between heaven and earth. What can be judged so far is that this world at least includes

It covers a large area from our place to Janni City. This is still the known range. The exact extent of this range and whether there is a boundary are still unknown."

"this……"

After listening to Wu Liang's words, not only did everyone not feel comforted at all, but they became even more anxious.

Zhuge Liang wrinkled his nose and asked: "Brother Youcai, not to mention how big this strange world is, if we never have a way to get out, then for my uncle and mother, wouldn't it mean that there is a world between us?

Is there no difference between me and my death?"

Wu Liang felt that this was already a philosophical question, but he still nodded and patiently expressed his understanding: "It can indeed be said that whether a person is alive or not is determined by the people and things around him.

If no one can see you and you can't affect anything, then you don't exist and naturally you can't be considered alive."

"What should I do?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly burst into tears and murmured with great reluctance, "I have not yet realized my ambition of becoming a prince or prime minister, I have not taught my mother to live a good life, I have not cured my uncle's hidden illness, and I have not yet married my sister Hun'er..."

"

"Snapped!"

Yu Ji suddenly slapped Zhuge Liang on the head, scolded him with a straight face, "How come you are not as good as me? You can still breathe now, we can still see you, and my slap can still hurt you."

, you can make me want to beat you by saying these words, which means you still exist, you are not dead yet, why are you crying in a hurry? Bad luck!"?

Everyone looked at Yu Ji in surprise.

Usually when encountering danger, this old boy is the first to retreat and the first to cry. Unexpectedly, this time he has such a high consciousness and can say such words.

The sun comes out in the west?

Yu Ji didn't care about them, but immediately looked at Wu Liang with hopeful eyes, squeezed out an extremely ugly smile and asked: "Master, you are still so calm until now, you must have a way to take us out, right?"

?Is your guess right? There is absolutely no problem, right?"

"..."

In fact, this matter was completely beyond Wu Liang's control, but after pondering for a while, he still said: "Theoretically, the rumored caravan can get out of the mysterious ancient city, so as long as the right method is used,

, we should be able to get out of this strange world."

But there is one rumored detail that Wu Liang deliberately did not mention.

The caravan walked out of the mysterious ancient city. Although no one could tell what method was used or what mystery was triggered, but if the rumors are correct, they still paid two lives in the end.

price.

This is what Wu Liang is most worried about.

He is still not sure whether the caravan leaving the mysterious ancient city is related to these two lives, but if he really has to face such a choice, this will definitely become the most difficult multiple-choice question he has ever done in his life, bar none.

Wu Liang didn't want to think about this problem any more, let alone face such a choice, so after answering Tai Ji's question, he went on to say: "Although the situation we are encountering now has many similarities with that rumor,

But there are also many completely different places, so the rumors may only have some reference value for us, and they are not enough to provide key clues for us to leave here. In my opinion, we only have one key clue in our hands now, and that is Fang Qiong

... She is the only one who did not travel with us this time, but entered this strange world with us. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that she has an inseparable relationship with this strange world. If we can uncover this...

By building this relationship, we may be able to find out the truth about this strange world."

"So what you mean is that we should go find Fang Qiong now..."

Bai Jingjing asked seriously.

"Yes, the sooner the better."

Wu Liang nodded and said, "Pack our things and leave immediately!"

…

After more than a day, Wu Liang and others finally returned to Jani City.

At this moment, Janni City has indeed turned into an deserted and dead city just as Yang Wanli described.

Wu Liang and others had no intention of admiring this scene full of weird atmosphere. After entering the city, they went straight to the palace of Janni City. It was not until they saw Fang Qiong who was still tied tightly to the bed by Yang Wanli that Wu Liang finally

Breathed a sigh of relief.

If Fang Qiong is missing when he comes back, Wu Liang really doesn't know what to do.

Feeling relieved, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something, and quickly called Yang Wanli over and asked: "Where is Fang Qiong's 'stone statue'? Have you ever seen that 'stone statue' is still there?"

"This... I have never thought of this, so I will go check it out right now!"

Yang Wanli was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around to check where they placed the supplies. The "stone statue" had been tightly wrapped in linen by Wu Liang, and it had been stored with the supplies ever since.

"Wait a minute, let's go together. From now on, no one is allowed to move alone."

Wu Liang stopped Yang Wanli, and then ordered Dianwei to take Fang Qiong from Hu's bed and carry him on his shoulders, and the group went to inspect Fang Qiong's "stone statue" together.

In a warehouse next door that had been personally guarded by soldiers of the Hu army.

Wu Liang and others saw the supplies they brought with them on this expedition. There was no shortage of supplies, and they were all neatly placed together as they were.

Fang Qiong's "stone statue" was lying on the ground, surrounded by these materials and blocked.

Seeing these things, Wu Liang suddenly thought of another question: Is everything here a projection of the real world, or is it connected to the real world and actually exists?

If it is a projection of the real world, then it can be regarded as their hallucination. It doesn't matter if it moves, and it will not have any impact on the real world.

But if they are connected to the real world and exist, then if they touch these things, or even just open a door, they may be discovered by people in the real world, which may lead to a series of unexpected consequences.

Or it may trigger a series of chain reactions like the butterfly effect.

But I want to think about it.

This question had no practical significance for Wu Liang in his current situation. After thinking about it for a while, he temporarily put it aside. Together with the backbone of the Hu army, he moved the materials to one side and moved Fang Qiong's "stone statue" out from the back.

Wu Liang then pulled out a copper dagger and quickly cut open the outer layer of linen cloth to see if any unexpected changes had occurred to the "stone statue".

But it didn't.

What this "stone statue" looked like when it was salvaged, and what it looks like now.

Wu Liang could determine that Fang Qiong must have some connection with this strange world, because she was the only "living creature" that appeared here with them.

And this "stone statue" will be temporarily put under a question mark.

At least for now, this "stone statue" is not a "living thing", but more like a dead thing like those materials, so it can appear in this strange world for the same reason as those materials.

Wu Liang wants to find it mainly because it has a greater relationship with Fang Qiong, which may also become a key clue to uncover the truth.

Fang Qiong and her "stone statue" were successfully found.

Wu Liang then replenished supplies with others, carried them outside and loaded them on the carriage.

It is magical to say that all the livestock in the city of Ganni have disappeared. Only the horses that Wu Liang and others went to the Kongque River to ride this time are still there. It seems that these horses have established some kind of connection with them, and they have become

A veritable community of destiny.
