Xiao Zhang was not too relieved, grabbed Ah Li's hand and asked, "Ah Li, do you have something unspeakable?" Don't be afraid, we're all here! ”

Ge Zhuang was impatient to wait, and said that either you stay here, find a hidden place to stay, and come back to pick you up after we touch the baby, or you will go with us, go and refuse to go, stay and refuse to stay, what kind of trouble is this?

"Yes, Ah Li, I think, you should go with us, the barren mountain road is far away, we don't know which direction we will go in when we come out, what if we can't find the way back?" Xiao Zhang also patiently persuaded, and after two minutes of persuasion, Ah Li was not as excited as just now, looked at Xiao Zhang, a very complicated and tangled gaze flashed in his eyes, and nodded silently.

Xiao Zhang looked excited, turned around and shouted at us, "Ali agreed, she will go with us......"

"See, are you so happy?" I glanced at him, Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed, bowed his head and defended himself, "I just think that everyone can support each other, it's not easy to come here together, it's a pity to break up halfway." ”

Ge Zhuang and I both smiled and didn't say anything, and we all put on our breathing masks and marched through the thick fog.

The hills on this side of the valley are circuitous, and I walked for more than half an hour, but I didn't even see a single bird or beast, it seems that this poisonous miasma is pervasive, except for vegetation, there is no living creature at all, and the same, the more I admire Alley's ability to walk in the depths of this poisonous miasma empty-handed.

Although Xiao Zhang offered to give her his own breathing mask, but Ah Li did not agree, and went into battle lightly, walking much faster than us, and was not affected by these miasma at all.

It is estimated that he was born in the wild since he was a child, and he naturally produced antibodies after taking too much drug miasma.

Passing through the deep valley, the terrain is open again, in addition to the vine and radish vegetation all over the ground, accompanied by rockeries, adding a lot of obstacles to the open canyon rock road, but even the trees can not be seen, continue to move forward for more than two hundred meters, faintly under the dense fog, see the huge ancient city wall, everyone is gasping for a few breaths.

Ge Zhuang pulled off the breathing mask, and suddenly became arrogant, "Ri his grandmother's, I finally found the outer wall of Gu Yelang City!" ”

I said, fatty, along the way, I saw a lot of stone walls, how can you be sure that this is the main city wall? Ge Zhuang couldn't answer, and Chen Yun picked up this question, "Sima Nan, you see, the stone wall that I walked through before is low and low, only the high wall in front of us, at least more than three meters high, is very long, like a snake walkway, zigzag and narrow, you can't see the end at a glance, this is definitely the main city wall." ”

Ge Zhuang patted his thigh and said, yes, I was about to express this meaning, but I was preempted by Sister Chen Yun!

After seven or eight meters of re-travel, and came to a bare ground, Chen Yun stepped forward and stomped on it with his toes, feeling that the soil layer here was a little strange, and said to us, "Dig it and see what is buried underneath!" ”

This coolie work has always been done by me and Ge Zhuang, and after speaking, he took it from the mountaineering bag and took out the * and the sapper shovel. Yelang City is backed by a barren valley, and there is a deep valley in front of it, Kashgar landform, covered by rock formations, the soil near this is hard, only this generation is all covered by soil, and there are obvious traces of being artificially excavated.

Now the ground has loosened the surface soil layer, and then used the sapper shovel to shovel the soil, and dug down half a meter, you can see that the color of the soil below is obviously different from the surface, like tricolor soil.

Chen Yun took a dagger and pried up a little soil, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed, and then said to us, "The most indispensable thing in the tropical rainforest is snakes, insects, rats and ants, it seems that the ancient Yelang people also thought of this when they built the city, and they were afraid that the wall would be hollowed out by poisonous insects, so they dug a trench and buried a lot of soil under the outer wall to repel insects, which can last for thousands of years, and the composition of these soils is really not simple." ”

I said that this is not surprising, Gu Yelang is located in the rainforest of Southeast Asia, and deals with poisonous insects, snakes and ants all year round, and he will naturally study the means of insect repellent more thoroughly than the Han people, don't forget that these wild people know how to raise Gu......

Speaking of this, I glanced at Ali quietly, and saw that she didn't say anything, so I continued, "In ancient times, productivity was not high, and a city of this scale was afraid that it would have to be built with all the financial and material resources of the whole country. ”

In ancient times, the reason for the construction of cities was not for commercialization, but for two main purposes, one was to facilitate the centralization of power and strengthen the management and control of the local government: the second was to prevent the invasion of the empire, and the significance of building city walls was also here.

A city of such a large scale must have been a battleground for soldiers in ancient times. And there are no fortifications left of Gu Yelang, the only city is where the main hall of the Yelang Palace is located, such an important place, the fortifications must be the top priority, why can't the two canals be seen?

And although this city wall is all the way to the corner, almost impossible to see at a glance, but it is not impregnable, an iron bucket, there are countless "small holes" under the city wall, the height is about two meters, and the width is half a meter, which can be walked by a big fat man like Ge Zhuang, which is even more puzzling.

In ancient times, the city wall was a defensive project, and generally speaking, there were only four gates in the south, south, and northwest, and I have never heard anyone say that anyone would "gouge holes" in the city wall to facilitate the entry and exit of residents, which is equivalent to directly exposing the city to the enemy.

Chen Yun analyzed, "The ancient Yelang Dynasty has a high and steep mountain, located in this poor mountain wilderness, and the hands and feet of the Qin State cannot reach so long, so it may not be able to pose a threat to them militarily. ”

I'm not right, if the walls weren't built for war, then what is the point of the city's existence? Wouldn't it be more convenient to pass if it was pushed to it?

Ge Zhuang smiled, "What if the ancient battles were all giants, and the two-meter-high city gate couldn't get into?" "I said you just, most of the ancients were malnourished, there were very few people over 1.8 meters, the so-called seven-foot man, converted to the current standard, is just about 1.6 meters tall, the height of the people in Southeast Asia is even shorter, generally not more than 1.7 meters, and the two-meter-high passage is more than enough.

Chen Yun said that I also find it incomprehensible, maybe the customs are different, let's go, go in and have a look.
