Chapter 72 (New Phoenix Tail City II)
The huge iron gate at the entrance was ready, and these smoothed rocks became the weapon that bound the iron cables. The craftsman fixed all the iron cables on the rocks, and climbed them one by one to reach the middle of the ten-battle high rocks. Pull the knife from the hole, the heavy iron door will slowly rise, pull the knife down, and the iron door can slowly descend to the ground. At the top of the iron gate, ten miles high, was a wall made of stone, and a spiral staircase built in the cave led to it, and standing there, you could stretch your gaze for a hundred miles, even the farthest peaks.
The passage to the left was all dug up, and when the last rock was excavated, everyone was stunned, and in front of them was a large surrounding forest, the hillside was full of trees, and a river was flowing slowly in front of them, making a roaring sound.
The forest was silent, the warm wind blew, and the grass flipped to the side along the wind, making a whooshing sound, and they seemed to be chatting and talking secretly. From time to time, the stream flowed into the rocks and bypassed it with a clattering sound. Shrubs of all kinds, insects swirling back and forth, dragonflies flapping their wings, bees buzzing in, and mosquitoes so small that they could barely be seen. They land on the flowers in the grass, and the breeze blows and stirs their wings to fly away. You can also see hares grazing, and disappear into the long grass in fright when they see the crowd. There are also birdsong, the call of songworms. Buyi Lingyu couldn't help but sigh. "The world is mad, the gods are mad, but this is a quiet world. ”
"Why didn't we expect such a paradise in the first place?" Zhuo Mu exclaimed, "My lord, how did you find out?"
"If you think about it, every mountain must have its end, and through that end is another place, and in fact I was right. Buyi Lingyu replied.
Zhuo Mu sneered, "My lord, there is really you." He smiled, "If I could have thought of this way, then more than 2,000 people in the Batu Caves would not have died." ”
"Do you regret it?" asked Buyi Lingyu.
"My heart aches for not coming up with a better way to protect them. Zhuo Mu smiled, "I have never regretted every step I have taken, both in the past and now. ”
"Your Excellency. Gu Qi's voice came from behind him, "There are a lot of herdsmen at the door. ”
Buyi Lingyu turned around, "What are they doing here?"
"I don't know exactly what to do. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
They walked into the passage, Gu Qi lit torches in the narrow corridor to light the way ahead, and the road to the door took a long time to arrive. As soon as Buyi Lingyu walked out of the door, nearly 40 herdsmen knelt on the ground. They carried luggage, pots and pans, some of which were filled with chickens, ducks, pigeons, rabbits, and a large cart loaded with sheep, and even drove more than a dozen cows and horses. The woman carried the child in her arms and wore extremely tattered clothes, the man carried the luggage on his back, and there were elderly people.
"My lord, please accept us and let us be your herdsmen. A young man in his twenties knelt at the front, "We will work diligently to clear the land, farm the land, and abide by your rules." We're going to grow food, you see, we're bringing so many cattle and sheep. They will breed in large numbers and give birth to lambs, calves, and our horses as well as our horses, and we young people can follow you in sword training and become your excellent soldiers. ”
"What's your name?" asked Buyi Lingyu
"My name is Nobel, my lord. The young man replied.
"Why did you come to me?"
"To survive, not to starve, not to be harmed, to follow our prince. ”
"The prince is still missing. ”
"We have all heard the story of the prince, who is blessed by the gods and protected by the snow wolf, and he will not die. ”
"Good. Buyi Lingyu raised his eyebrows and said, as if to speak to his heart, "You can live here in peace." He turned around and instructed Gu Qi, "Gu Qi, arrange it and settle them properly." ”
"Okay!" Gu Qi nodded, and then faced the herdsman, "You all come with me." ”
All the people went into the Batu Caves, and it took three sticks of incense to settle the herdsmen, and they each family had a hole in which they could build their own beds, and the cattle, sheep and poultry were placed in the dug back mountain, and all were kept in captivity by railings.
Day and night, the cave was full of lighted torches, smoke wafted everywhere, filling every gap and crowd, children running, playing and frolicking, adults and soldiers standing at the mouth of the cave, resting in the cave, and carrying things back and forth.
At this time, before it was time to rest, Buyi Lingyu walked into the crowd, "Herdsmen. He shouted, and everyone came out of the cave, "The prince is the only bloodline of the Fengwei City family, no matter what the cost is in the future, we must find the prince." You have chosen to come to Fengwei City Kunmizi, I welcome it very much, but you must abide by the rules here, no fighting, no trouble, no stealing, no bullying of the elderly, women and children, you must live in harmony here, otherwise you will be exiled to Fengwei City forever. He said, breathing a sigh of relief, "This is a closed hole, you can't go out through the iron gate, you can't climb up the spiral staircase to the platform, you can walk around as you like outside the cave door dug in the back, and we don't have slavery here, there is no oppression and oppression, you can be as free as knights, and we will protect you as relatives." ”
Hearing this, everyone knelt down and thanked them, "Thank you, sir, you are such a good person." ”
"Get up quickly, and you are not allowed to kneel and bow henceforth, for there is no such rule. Bu Yi Lingyu told everyone.
