Chapter 921: Strange Everywhere
Hearing Li You's question, Ji Li was slightly stunned. Tian Lai Xiao said. 2. After thinking about it, he shook his head. Li You felt incredible. This place is similar to hell, and Ji Li doesn't want to leave yet, what is this asking?
After questioning, Ji Licai explained that their duty was to guard the royal tomb for generations. When our ancestors entered this place, they had already made a solemn oath. Future generations naturally have to follow the decisions of their ancestors. In addition, after living in a small world for countless years, they have become accustomed to this kind of life, and the outside world, they are difficult to adapt to, and they are not willing to adapt.
Hearing the answer, Li You only smiled bitterly. For a moment, he thought of the Indians. But he also knows that the two are not related. The places where the Indians live are far richer than the world in front of them, and even because of the excessive abundance of natural materials, the process of their civilization will become slow, and finally the new civilized world will appear, conquer and destroy.
With Ji Li's party leading the way, Li You soon arrived at the Tang Cai tribe. The tribe is only a few miles away from the Black Dragon Mountain, occupying a high ground. Although it is a tribe, it looks more like a rural village in a backward area. The buildings are made of stone and the roofs are thatched. Around the village, a high wall was built with stones, and outside the high wall, a deep ditch was dug one zhang wide and two zhang deep. And from the tribe to the foot of the mountain, there is also a canal, apparently a source of water channeled from the mountain stream.
In the distance, Ji Li took a small horn from his waist and blew it vigorously, and the sound soon spread to the tribe. This is a sign that there is a distinguished guest from the outside world. Soon after, the gate opened, and soon the tribal elders and tribesmen came out.
Li You could see clearly that the tribal elders were wearing the official uniforms of the royal family, which seemed to be the clothes that only the ministers and above were qualified to wear. It's just that the clothes are very old, and there are traces of sewing in many places.
"Tang Hou ......" Taishi saw the elder from a distance, and he exhaled. That's someone he knew. More than ten years ago, when he was dealing with the affairs of Queen Zhou Xi, he had dealt with Tang Caibu, and this Tang Hou was known at that time.
"Lord Neishi......" Tang Hou was also overjoyed when he saw Taishi, strode over, and grabbed Taishi's hands tightly: "Farewell for more than ten years......" But as he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look behind. didn't see the mighty procession, and couldn't help but wonder: "Lord Neishi, where is the coffin of the monarch?" ”
"Uh......" Tai Shiguo's face froze. Dare to love Tang Hou because he thought that he had sent King Zhou's corpse in.
"That's ......"
Ji Li, who was next to him, helped explain. Listening to Ji Li's explanation, the enthusiasm on Tang Hou's face continued to wane. He was so excited to come out to greet him, but not for some god-man. He only knew that if the king died, a large number of materials and funeral goods would be sent in, and according to the regulations, the provisions of the mausoleum keepers were also among them. It's been more than ten years since the last king fell, and it's time to send a king in.
This kind of thinking is of course a big rebellion, but those who survive in this small world know that only in the years when the king falls and is sent to the royal tomb, the life in the small world will be better, not only supplementing food and daily necessities, but also many new mausoleum keepers have joined, strengthening the power of the human race in the small world.
"That's it......" Tang Hou looked at Li You and Chi You, and raised his hand to make a salute. Without a king entering the mausoleum, it is not in accordance with the rules to open the mausoleum......" Tang Hou said slowly while welcoming everyone to the tribe: "We can't do this thing, we have to convene all the ministries to discuss......"
"This is natural." Tai Shi Guo accompanied and said: "But this matter is determined by the king, this time the gods entered this place, but also for the peace of the ministry, the king said, if the gods approve, they will send a large army to enter this place, and open up the country here." ”
"Really?!"
The words "opening up the territory and sealing the country" have a great attraction to Tang Hou. Although he was also named the Marquis of Tang, in this small world, this marquis is completely just a fictitious title, and the jurisdiction is only hundreds of people from the tribe, and although the land is large, there is no fun at all. But if the king of Zhou decides to open up this world, he will inevitably throw a steady stream of troops and people into it, and it will not be long before this place will become a different kind of thing. Don't look at this desolate place. But in the depths of the world, there are patches of fertile soil, enough to house dozens of feudal countries.
But looking back, Tang Hou shook his head. He was born here, and he lives to this day, knowing better than anyone in the outside world what is terrible about this world. This kind of thinking is naturally good, but the probability of success is also extremely low. If this world was easy to open up, Zhou Gong would not have divided the outside world at first, but would have taken the lead in carving up this small world.
The tribe is similar to a normal village. The only difference is that most of the buildings have a defensive effect, and they can be held at any time. From this, it can be seen that the tribe is defending against something dangerous.
Li You didn't find this strange. On the contrary, he felt that this kind of defense was too thin, and it was really hard to imagine that the Tang Cai tribe had relied on such a rudimentary defense to survive for hundreds of years.
But as soon as Li You changed his mind, he understood the reason. This place is still dominated by forces that can dilute the power of the Talisman, and in the surrounding area, the native creatures of the Talisman World are unlikely to operate on a large scale. Such a defense should be sufficient.
Tang Hou welcomed Li You and the others into the tribe, and asked the people to notify the elders of the rest of the tribe to come to discuss the matter. The distance between the tribes was far and near, and those who were close were ten miles away, and those who were far away had to run on horseback for a day.
Li You is not in a hurry. It's just a little bit of a world and needs more time to get used to the environment. Tang Hou pulled Taishi Guo to the key to the royal tomb. Although the opening of the royal tomb requires the consultation of all the clan leaders before the decision can be made. But the key to the royal tomb actually represents the legal identity of everyone, which is a formality that must be processed.
Li You and the three were placed in a stone house. The room was poorly furnished, with racks of weapons on both sides, and some weapons were on display. They are all big road goods, bronze spears, axes and the like. Rusty and mottled. Li You's gaze only swept slightly over the weapon rack, and then stared at the wall.
There are some animal heads hanging on the walls. Apparently nitrated. And the craftsmanship is not bad, as much as possible to maintain the original appearance.
These animals are not species that Li You is familiar with, and judging from the exposed teeth, they are all some large hunting animals. It doesn't seem to be good.
Chi You, like Li You, was attracted by the level of these beasts, and only Li Chunwen was groping for the weapons on the shelf, and couldn't help but inhale the cold air. His attention was focused on the inscriptions on the weapons, and from the inscriptions, it was clear that these things looked like broken copper and iron, and their origins were really not small.
"This place is really weird......" Chiyou said hesitantly as he stopped next to a beast's head.
