Chapter 16 The Dayu Dynasty
In the center of the huge cave, there was a hundred-zhang tower, Lin Hao looked up and found that he couldn't see the top at a glance.
The whole tower is made of mottled boulders, and all kinds of strange beasts are carved on it, looking down with hideous faces.
"Look at the vicissitudes of the stone tower corroded by time, at least after thousands of years!" Lin Hao pulled Ling'er and sighed.
The two of them stood under the Baizhang stone tower, as small as ants.
At the entrance of the stone tower, there are three huge stone tripods, several zhang high.
"Brother Hao, how can you thank me?" The girl looked at Lin Hao with a smile and stuck out her tongue mischievously, "If I hadn't pestered my grandfather every day, you wouldn't have come here so easily!" Hee-hee~"
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Ling'er!" Lin Hao rubbed his hands impatiently, "Why don't we go to the stone tower first......"
Ling'er was dissatisfied, and her face twisted, "Hmph!" You go in by yourself, that's the rule of the clan......"
"Huh?" Lin Hao was dumbfounded, so he had to tidy up his camouflage uniform and walk up the bluestone steps.
At the door of the stone pagoda stood two big men, their faces were cold and solemn, holding cold and shining weapons in their hands, and their powerful aura made people tremble.
Lin Hao stepped forward and arched his hand, "Boy Lin Hao!" ”
The two big men with horses on their arms glanced at each other, and one of them waved his hand, "Go in by yourself, you can't go above the third floor, and the violators will bear the consequences!" ”
"Thank you!" Lin Hao bowed, looked at the top of the towering tower above his head, and hurriedly walked into the swarthy stone arch.
He'd been to this pagoda once, but only the second floor last time.
The space on the first floor is huge, ten zhang high and hundreds of zhang wide. The surroundings were empty, except for some strange murals scattered on the stone walls.
There are many fierce beast statues on the ground, all kinds of strange and huge fierce beasts, or fangs and claws, or raising their heads and roaring, staring at the entrance of the stone tower with fierce eyes.
"How does it feel like it's alive? Every time I come in, I feel hairy in my heart......" Lin Hao glanced at the statue and hurriedly walked up the stone steps to the second floor.
The second floor of the stone tower was unguarded, and there were very few people coming and going.
Lin Hao looked up and saw that in the huge space on the second floor, there were rows of bookshelves, and several people were scattered and scattered.
Everyone silently bowed their heads, looking at the animal skin scrolls with serious expressions, as if they were in infinite awe and respect for this place.
Lin Hao looked around, walked through the rows of tall bookshelves, and walked straight to the row of cabinets in the corner.
Most of this layer is a book of animal skins, including hunting skills, farming, construction, witchcraft, agriculture, water conservancy, fierce beasts, medical books, medicinal herb scrolls, etc., which can be described as all-inclusive. This is also the heritage of the Kurokawa tribe.
Lin Hao has flipped through it, and most of these books record relatively basic knowledge. Some of them are the summaries of the experience of the tribal wise men for thousands of years, and some of them are the results of exchanges and exchanges with other tribes in the Endless Forest Sea for many years......
In the corner, there is a row of bookshelves that are the most special, in addition to a large number of animal skin scrolls, there are also a dozen or so paper books scattered around.
Lin Hao found that the paper in this world was very durable, made of the fibers of some strange plant. Under normal circumstances, these books will not rot for thousands of years.
I heard that some high-quality paper can not be chopped by a knife, and it can even be preserved for tens of thousands of years!
"Dayu Local Chronicles, I found it!" Lin Hao browsed back and forth on the bookshelf, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The book is a little yellowed and covered with a layer of dust, which has a sense of the vicissitudes of time.
Lin Hao held the book in his hand and carefully identified the strange characters.
“…… In his battle, King Yu divided the Qingjin Mountain Range into two with one palm, and the enemy army suffered countless casualties within a radius of thousands of miles, and the strong men of the six countries retreated in horror! Taizu then established the country with martial arts and created the Dayu Dynasty, and the national fortune has been extended for thousands of years......"
"Splitting mountains and seas with one palm? Yu Wang lived for 3,000 years and died, and it was passed on to the prince? Nima, is this still human! ”
"Year" is the unit of time in the other world, also called "Zehui" or "Ze", "one year old" is about equal to two earth years, and three thousand years old is six thousand years of the earth!
"It's horrible to live so long!"
"Is this really a history book? I'm afraid it's fake~" Lin Hao flipped through the book, his heart was speechless, "It feels like watching a mythical story, real Nima!" ”
"The territory of the Dayu Dynasty is vast, starting from Henghai in the east, reaching the Snow Mountains in the north, ending in the ancient land of Huangsha in the west, and bordering the endless forests and seas in the south, with a length and width of 700,000 li...... Thirteen states under the jurisdiction of Yu State ......"
The place where Lin Hao is now is the endless forest sea in the south, which is nominally under the jurisdiction of Yu Guomao Prefecture.
But in fact, the Endless Forest Sponge stretches for hundreds of millions of miles and borders all countries, so it is not actually the territory of any dynasty.
Lin Haili is also inhabited by mostly barbarians, and countless tribes form an alliance and are self-contained.
"This ...... It's a desperately large territory! If it weren't for the fact that there were bird mounts in this world, I would probably be tired to death when walking! ”
Lin Hao frowned and thought for a while, "That's not right! Even if there are birds and animals that travel tens of thousands of miles a day, how can they transport troops on a large scale? I must have missed something......"
In the huge stone tower, a few scattered people hold books and read silently in front of rows of bookshelves.
"There are still hundreds of schools of thought in this world, and the water is very deep......"
Lin Hao took the book and thought hard, "Outside the Dayu Dynasty, there are many countries, bordering Daji, Ling, Liu, Cang, Yan and other ......countries."
In the middle of the night, there was silence in front of the bookshelf.
"Yu Guo only occupies a corner of the Kun Domain?" Lin Hao put the book back in place, "Alas, I really want to get out of the jungle and see how wonderful this vast world is......"
Lin Hao searched carefully, ripped off an antique book from the cabinet, and found that it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Kunyu Chronicles? With so much ash, it seems that the people of the tribe don't yearn for the outside world very much......"
Lin Hao turned the pages of the book and found that the book was written a long time ago, and many of the records were unknown.
“…… Emperor Kun collapsed, and the Great Kun Dynasty was torn apart...... The Kun region is vast and does not know its borders, countless kingdoms are numerous, hundreds of schools of thought, sectarian gates, there are dynasties to suppress the first generation, benefit the people, even if there are ......"
With a "snap", Lin Hao closed the book and spat lightly, these books are all crepe, either missing words and pages, or passing through.
Many places are vague, and it hurts people's brains, "It seems that someone deliberately deleted it, and wanted to cover up something, forget it, go to the third floor to see ...... first"
Lin Hao lowered his head and thought, and walked up to the third floor.
A murderous aura came to his face, faintly mixed with the smell of herbs.
What catches your eye is a dazzling array of weapons!
Giant Axe! Pike! Broadsword! Meteor Hammer ......
There are also many strange and strange weapons, many unseen weapons, which are hung all over the third floor.
"This is ......," Lin Hao glanced at the corner in the distance.
In the corner of the wall, there was a faint smell of herbs coming from piles of wooden boxes.
"It turns out that there are still a lot of medicinal herbs stored on the third floor......"
There were also very few people on the third floor, and there were a few big men standing in the corner, shirtless and with cold faces.
Lin Hao didn't care about anything else, and walked straight to the rows of bookshelves next to the wooden boxes.
Ling'er told him that there are many fewer cabinets here than on the second floor, but the books are all relatively advanced knowledge, and the contents of the records cannot be leaked.
