The crow flapped its wings angrily in Shen Yi's hand.

Lin Hui thought he heard it wrong, pointing to the crow covered in messy black hair and asked, "You mean... eat this crow?"

Shen Yi nodded expressionlessly, ready to pluck the hair.

How can normal people eat crows!

He tilted his head and met the dumbfounded crow's eyes. The crow stared at Mung Bean's small eyes and clicked angrily.

Shen Yi frowned involuntarily: "Strange, why are there crows here?"

the other side of the wall.

Sun Feiyu and Jiang Yanming watched the crow fly over, but the plane suddenly crashed halfway.

Sun Feiyu was stunned: "What's going on? Where's the crow? Have you gone back?"

"Who's there?"

There was a faint voice behind the high wall, someone was talking.

Jiang Yan immediately moved close to the wall, and Sun Feiyu also slapped the wall, shouting loudly: "Is anyone there? Who's on the other side?!"

Lin Hui was thinking about how to get the drunk next to him to give up his plan of being a beggar and seriously break through the level, when he heard someone slapping the wall.

Although the speaking voice was vague, it could still be distinguished: "Sun Feiyu? Jiang Yan?!"

separated by a wall.

The wall is very high and thick, about seven or eight meters. I didn't expect them to bump into each other like this.

Jiang Yan's voice came through the stone bricks, and the tone was not very clear: "Did you see a crow?"

Shen Yi looked down and murmured, "They also want to eat beggars?"

"That crow is the key to our customs clearance!" Jiang Yan shouted, "Whichever branch it flies to, we will open the door!"

I dare you to be an important NPC.

Shen Yi let go of his hand very reluctantly, and the crow immediately flapped its wings and flew up, squawked at him viciously, and flew away to the north without looking back.

Shen Yi looked puzzled at the big tree with three branches in the south: Didn't he want to fly to the tree?

Jiang Yan and Sun Feiyu didn't understand why the crow they were waiting for finally flew away to the north cursing.

Are all NPCs so unprofessional?

Sun Feiyu asked awkwardly: "Brother Yan, why did the crow fly away? Which door shall we... open?"

Which branch falls will open which door, and now the crows have not fallen anywhere, so how do they complete the task of selecting the door?

It was also the first time Jiang Yan encountered such a situation.

Shen Yi, who was on the other side of the key, still leaned against the wall and asked, "Why did my dinner fly away?"

dinner? !

Sun Feiyu wanted to cry without tears: "Chef Shen, so you wanted to eat it! No wonder it ran away, we can't finish our task!"

Lin Hui quickly helped to explain: "The last level was drinking with Cao Cao. Shen Yi drank too much and was a little drunk, so..."

Before he finished speaking, a certain drunk climbed up the crack of the wall, still muttering: "It's okay, isn't it just choosing the door! If the crow doesn't help you, I will help you!"

He pointed to a tree branch closest to the wall: "Just this one! I'll stand on it right now..."

Lin Hui couldn't even pull him.

Shen Yi, who was drunk, was like a nimble monkey, climbing halfway up the wall in two or three moves.

"Jiang Yan! Shen also climbed the wall!" Lin Hui said anxiously, "He is climbing towards you!"

Jiang Yan was also a little panicked, this wall is not short!

It turns out that Shen Yi was so drunk and out of tune?

He quickly moved to the wall and said, "Lin Hui, where did he crawl to?"

An anxious shout came from the other end: "Wow, he climbed so fast! He reached the top!"

Shen Yi stood on the top of the wall in a daze, and stretched out his hand to try it. The branch that seemed close at hand was still at least five or six meters away from him, and he couldn't get through it at all.

He was a little frustrated.

The wind was strong on the top of the wall, and the temperature was also low. Shen Yi shivered, and his drunkenness woke up a lot.

I don't know if it was because he was standing too high, and there was a layer of mist under his feet, so he couldn't see Lin Hui.

He poked his head back to look the other way.

The wall here seems to be much lower than the place he climbed over just now, and there are no figures of Jiang Yan and Sun Feiyu under the wall.

Weren't these two people still there just now, where did they go?

Looking down from a high place was somewhat dizzy, Shen Yi struggled for a while, and chose to jump off the low wall.

It happened to be able to follow the bottom of the wall to find out where Jiang Yan and the others were.

The ground here is different from that of the wall, there is soft grass under his feet, and when Shen Yi jumped down, he was covered in dew.

The temperature here seems to be colder than that there.

Shen Yi shrank his neck and looked along the wall: "Jiang Yan?"

"Sun Feiyu?"

The surrounding area was eerily quiet, and there was no response at all.

Only then did he realize that he couldn't see the big tree with three branches just now.

This is obviously the wall he turned over, why... Jiang Yan disappeared, and the tree disappeared?

Shen Yi hurriedly approached the position he had just climbed over, slapped the wall, trying to get in touch with Lin Hui who was opposite: "Lin Hui! Lin Hui!"

He broke out in a cold sweat, and his body was cold and sticky.

The situation on the other side is the same as what he encountered here.

It was empty and silent.

Shen Yi wrapped his coat tightly, took a deep breath and looked around.

On either side were bare, slippery walls.

Obviously when he just fell down, he thought the wall was only three or four meters high, but now the wall is so high that it towers into the sky, stretches solidly, and can't see the top at all.

He finally understood.

Maybe he climbed over that wall, but fell into a completely different space.

He is still in the Cao Ying maze, it's just that this maze... has moved.

He broke the rules and climbed over the wall, and the space of the maze was like a domino, pushing him to an empty place with no one.

It's a mistake to drink!

He almost regretted it to death.

Since he was forced to separate from his teammates, he couldn't sit still and could only try to leave.

It was cold, the grass on the ground was wet, and the dew wet his shoes and trouser legs.

and many more.

dew?

Shen Yi quickly squatted down and carefully looked at the water droplets on the grass blades.

It is round and crystal clear, and there are only a few on each grass, and there is no trace of getting wet around the leaves, which proves that this is dew, not rain.

But dew usually appears in the morning, but now it's night...

He suddenly remembered the sentence in "Duan Ge Xing": "For example, the morning dew, the past is bitter."

It means that time is like the dew in the morning, fleeting.

What does the dew at night represent?

The hazy night was filled with layers of fog, and there was a faint yellow light ahead.

Shen Yi tentatively moved forward.

The more you walk, the brighter the light, not the lights and candles, but the whole sky is as bright as day.

The fog gradually faded away, and the rising sun could be vaguely seen ahead.

It's strange, it's not long since night fell, this is...it's dawn?

Shen Yi has never been very sensitive to directions, but if I remember correctly, the side he climbed over the wall just now was south, so the place where the sun rises at this time should be west.

No matter how weird this maze is, it won't let the sun come out from the west, right?

The further he went, the higher the sun rose.

Until he saw a familiar blue and black city gate.

Narrow alleyways, towering bluestone walls, slippery ground and thick fog behind.

Shen Yi's heart beat faster, and he came to the gate of the city and pushed it lightly.

The door opened.

Outside was the road leading to Cao Ying's maze when he and Lin Hui came in the afternoon.

And the word "Cao" in official script on the plaque above his head also proved to him that he had returned to the entrance of Cao Ying by mistake.

In a daze, Shen Yi vaguely heard someone talking, and quickly hid behind a big tree outside the city gate.

Then he heard Lin Hui's voice, and he said, "So this is Cao Cao's place?"

Someone next to him replied, "Go in?"

The door creaked and was pushed open, and Shen Yi hid behind a tree, only then did he see clearly the two people who had just walked over.

It was Lin Hui and himself who entered the maze for the first time this afternoon!

For example, the morning dew has a lot of suffering.

As for Yelu, that is a sign of turning back time.

No wonder the sun comes out from the west, because that's not morning light at all, it's sunset!No wonder the sky gets brighter as he walks forward, he just walked out of the maze of time!

After a while, Shen Yi really saw Jiang Yan and Sun Feiyu who followed them into the maze in the afternoon behind the tree.

As the gate of Cao Ying was closed for the second time, Shen Yi's sense of time-reversing confusion gradually disappeared.

Now there are two paths before him.

Either go in again, or...leave Cao Ying and go directly to Tao Yuanming.

Shen Yi is not good at physics, and he doesn't understand the time paradox. He simply thinks that if he meets himself half a day ago in the maze, it may be a little troublesome.

So he used a stone to leave a note on the wall at the entrance of Cao Ying, and took advantage of the half-day time difference he stole to rush to Tao Yuanming's place.

Lin Hui watched Shen Yi disappear from the wall.

It was still there one second, and disappeared with the thick fog the next second.

He quickly slapped the wall and shouted: "Shen Yi! Shen Yi!"

Jiang Yan on the opposite side seemed to realize something was wrong: "What's wrong? Where's Shen Yiren?"

"Shen also disappeared! Did he fall from your side?"

Jiang Yan and Sun Feiyu had been guarding by the wall, and they didn't even see Shen Yi's shadow.

How could it disappear after climbing over the wall?

Jiang Yan frowned, trying to calm down as much as possible: "Lin Hui, listen to me."

"You look over there, if Shen Yi is not there," he said, "you turn over too."

"If there is a problem with this wall, you may be able to reunite with Shen Yi at the place where he disappeared. If there is no problem, you can also come with us."

Jiang Yan said in a deep voice, "It's best not to get separated."

A labyrinth is a labyrinth, so why are there people cannibals?

Sun Feiyu was also a little anxious: "Brother Yan, what should we do, why don't we find Chef Shen first?"

Jiang Yan frowned, and looked up at the direction of the wall: "Let's see if he can turn over first."

After more than ten minutes, Lin Hui poked his head out from the wall.

"Where is Shen Yi?" He asked in a panic.

The same wall, the same over-the-wall location.

Lin Hui didn't disappear, which means... even if they break through the wall, they won't be able to find Shen Yi.

Jiang Yan rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little inexplicably anxious.

Lin Hui had landed safely under the support of Sun Feiyu. He saw the three doors in front of them and finally understood: "So the way to choose the door is [circle around the tree three times, which branch can be relied on]? It depends on where the crow landed. ?”

Sun Feiyu nodded: "That's right."

"What now?"

Jiang Yan looked at the three doors for a while: "I can only fight."

"The three of us opened the door one by one, and opened it at the same time."

Lin Hui always felt a little desperate: "How about we wait? That crow might come back soon?"

"There's no time." Jiang Yan said coldly.

If you have been waiting here, it is impossible to find Shen Yi.

According to Jiang Yan's plan, the three of them came to the three gates respectively, with Sun Feiyu on the far left and Lin Hui on the right.

Jiang Yan put his hand on the handle of the door in the middle: "Listen to me for a while, when I say open, the three of us must pull the door at the same time."

The two people beside them nodded, and the three of them put their hands on the doorknob at the same time.

Jiang Yan looked serious: "Three, two, one, open—"

bang.

Jiang Yan was so strong that he almost tore the door down.

And Sun Feiyu and Lin Hui also opened the door in front of him together.

Behind the two doors of Jiang Yan and Lin Hui were still green and black stone walls, but the door Sun Feiyu opened led to another long and deep alley.

The three looked at each other and stepped into the door one by one.

The stone walls here are no different from the blue bricks and most of the lanes in the maze.

There was silence everywhere, and even the air was stagnant, only the sound of water squeaking when the soles of the shoes rubbed against the slippery ground could be heard.

The disappearance of Shen Yi made the atmosphere of the whole team extremely cold.

Lin Hui bowed his head and walked thoughtfully, Jiang Yan looked heavy and said nothing, Sun Feiyu wanted to talk, but seeing that the two of them were not very happy, he really didn't know how to speak.

After walking for a long time, it was almost dawn, and the eyes finally became clear.

Behind the wide open space ahead, there is a blue and black city gate that is exactly the same as the entrance.

A middle-aged man in official robes stood on the gate tower.

Sun Feiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a long time: "Isn't this... Cao Cao? Why is he here?"

"Congratulations everyone, I have finally come to the end of my Cao Ying!"

Cao Cao's voice echoed in several people's ears: "Next, I need some of you to play a game of chess with me."

Ding--

The large open space at the gate of the city suddenly turned into a colorful chessboard. The positions of the three people belonged to different starting points, but the end point led to one place - the huge green circular icon at the gate of the city.

boom!

A giant dice suddenly fell from the sky and hit the center of the chessboard.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot," Cao Cao said with a smile, "Before the game starts, there are still two item cards to be distributed to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, two cards appeared in front of the three of them.

There are two lines printed on Sun Feiyu's card, one is an immunity card and the other is an attack card.

Lin Hui is the immunization card and step-up card.

The three cannot see what each other's cards are.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, put the card away and put it in his pocket.

Cao Cao continued to announce the rules: "The rules are very simple. Take as many steps as you roll the dice. When it's your turn, you can take as many steps as you want. Every time you stay, the place you stay may be safe, or you may have unexpected and novel experiences."

He showed an interested smile: "You can use prop cards appropriately."

"By the way, there is still that position," Cao Cao pointed to the orange dot in the center of the chessboard, "It's a good place."

Cao Cao looked at several people with great interest: "I think you seem to be missing someone?"

"If someone can reach that position, I can grant one of your wishes."

"Bring him back."

the other side.

Shen Yi soon came to the foot of the mountain where Tao Yuanming was.

In the poetry unit of Compulsory Chinese Documents II, Tao Yuanming's poem is "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Field".

There is no doubt that he should live in "Guiyuan Tianju" somewhere on the mountain.

Shen Yi found the mountain trail and was about to climb up the mountain when a woodcutter suddenly stopped him behind him: "Young man! What are you doing there? It's dangerous!"

"what happened?"

The woodcutter said nervously: "There are many monsters on the mountain!"

Shen Yi frowned, always feeling that something was wrong: "Brother, I'm actually here to find someone."

"Mr. Tao Yuanming, that is, Mr. Wuliu, have you heard of it?"

"Of course I know! He lives in our village!" The woodcutter was very enthusiastic, and took Shen Yi to the village down the mountain. "Mr. Wuliu is obviously a literati, and he works with us all day long. It's friendly!"

So Tao Yuanming's so-called returning to the garden is not on the mountain?

It wasn't until Shen Yi met Tao Yuanming that he actually wanted to go up the mountain.

The woodcutter took him to a well-organized small courtyard, where there were flowers, grass and a pond, in which several herrings were swimming happily.

When Shen Yi arrived at the door, Tao Yuanming was tidying up the vegetable patch in the yard. The peppers, beans, and artemisia seeds were all growing vigorously, abundantly and beautifully.

Tao Yuanming himself was a lively little old man, humming a tune happily.

Seeing Shen Yi appear, he seemed a little puzzled: "Who are you?"

Shen Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said hello: "Mr. Wuliu."

"My name is Shen Yi, you should know what I want, a badge." He took out the one he got from Qu Yuan, "It should be similar to this."

Tao Yuanming sighed: "I do have such a thing."

"But it...is on the mountain."

He pointed to the hilltop not far away and said: "I opened a field there, planted peach trees and pear blossoms, and a pond with willow trees. I also raised a yard of chickens and ducks and a big yellow dog."

"Compared to my paradise, this place is simply too simple."

The infrastructure madman Tao Yuanming said regretfully: "Seeing that I am about to build a beautiful homeland, many monsters suddenly appeared on the mountain."

Shen Yi asked strangely, "What kind of monster is it?"

Tao Yuanming looked at him quietly: "You can go and see for yourself."

"If you can help me drive away all the monsters and let me return to my home in the mountains, I will give you that badge."

Shen Yi didn't intend to go up the mountain so quickly.

A monster that can make the whole village fear it must be difficult to deal with. He must at least prepare some weapons.

Who knew that Tao Yuanming and the villagers would hold him halfway and throw him directly into the mountain, and then ran away after throwing him.

Shen Yi could only climb up the mountain while looking for weapons that could be exchanged from the system.

I don't know what kind of monster it is, should I exchange it for a melee weapon, or just exchange it for two grenades?

He squatted under a tree and first got himself a basic set of protective clothing. As soon as he put on the helmet, he heard rustling sounds behind him.

It seemed that some huge monster swam over from the bushes and grass with its tail dragging.

Shen Yi held his breath nervously, and hurriedly hid behind the tree.

A shadow quickly covered the top of his head.

A rattling sound followed.

Shen Yi suddenly raised his head, and saw a giant strange face belonging to a crustacean.

Its head is at least two meters in diameter, and its whole body is covered with a bluish-black hard carapace. Black compound eyes grow on its tentacles, and a pair of eyes are shaking flexibly, as if observing the human being in front of it.

And the strange clicking sound came from the giant pincers on both sides of its big head.

Behind it is a long tail with a carapace, but there are dense horns growing under the tail, like a prawn or a crab, and the position of the tail is a bit like a sea snake.

It was the first time for Shen Yi to see such a strange giant. He stood under the tree nervously, not daring to move.

Until the monster in front of him pinched him with pliers.

It didn't seem to intend to eat him either, and carried Shen Yi back into the cave leisurely like carrying a bag of luggage.

Shen Yi was so stiff that he even forgot to struggle.

He always felt that there was something more terrifying waiting for him.

Sure enough, after following the monster into the dark cave, there were gradually dense and strange noises coming from my ears.

It seems that there are countless cubs similar to the big monster making the sound of crying for food.

No wonder the monster wouldn't eat him!

It intends to bring humans back to their lairs and feed them to their children!

boom.

The tentacles on the monster's mouth opened and closed, its eyes shook happily, and then it threw him on the ground.

Soon, countless small crustacean monsters climbed onto his body.

Shen Yi couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped up and frantically shook off the reptiles on his body, screaming and about to rush out.

The strange thing is that the big monster didn't stop him either.

There were too many little monsters, they followed Shen Yi to the entrance of the cave like a swarm, and several of them were still hanging on him.

Shen Yi had goosebumps all over his body, he took off the monster on his body and rushed out like crazy.

In the end, he froze for a moment when he rushed to the entrance of the cave.

How do you feel... this thing is a bit familiar?

With the help of the light at the entrance of the cave, Shen Yi took off a little monster hanging from his armpit and examined it carefully.

It is about ten centimeters long, with a big head and a small body. It is covered with a blue carapace, and it also has two small pincers with teeth and claws.

The clamp swung around for a long time, but it couldn't hold anyone at all.

Shen Yi raised its tentacles in astonishment, and through the sunlight, called out the name of the invasive alien species that was almost eaten up by the Chinese people: "Crayfish?!"
