There are six guards on the stone wall of the village, and they are generally not tall, with an average of less than one meter and six, which should be due to the difficult mountain conditions and malnutrition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but Li You did not stop there. In this era, the villages that can survive in the deep mountains and old forests must have their advantages, but we can't just be careless.

During the exchange between Tian Chun and the guards, Li You took the opportunity to look at the village that had been built according to the situation. From a distance, it's just an ordinary village. But after getting closer, I found that the village made full use of the principles of architecture in construction, and in terms of planning, Li You, a college student from the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture, was also embarrassed.

Not to mention anything else, the stone wall alone is ingenious in construction, it is not a straight city wall, according to the topography, there are many protruding or recessed sections, which is already the use of the construction principle of the fortress, if there is an outsider attacking the stone wall, it is impossible to attack with manpower when attacking. Defenders, on the other hand, can take advantage of the stone wall and counterattack the attacker on two or even three sides. In this way, in fact, the effect of the stone wall at least allows the village to disperse the enemy's living forces when the enemy is outnumbered, and then use the advantage of the terrain to launch a counterattack.

Observing along the root of the wall, Li You found that the base of the stone wall turned out to be the stone foundation of the mountain, and the stones of the pile were polished piece by piece, staggered with each other, and roughly speculated that the thickness of the stone wall was nearly two zhang. This can no longer be said to be a village, in fact it is more like a fortress.

Li You frowned secretly. The village doesn't seem to be huge. The population inside is only five or six hundred at most, and if it is only considered strong, it is only one or two hundred. However, with such a small population, it is unthinkable to build such a stone wall. Not to mention anything else, the project of quarrying and grinding stones alone is enough to make the people of the entire village tired and tired for hundreds of years. Unless they have modern tools and technical support. Otherwise, if you want to build such a village, it will take at least one or two hundred years to get it right.

However, judging from the mottled traces of vicissitudes on the stone wall, the stone wall has existed for a longer time, and it must not have been built in the past ten or twenty years.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Li You was only amazed. The ancients were extremely creative, and many construction techniques were not something he could understand. As Tian Chun mentioned to him, the Mo family had participated in the construction of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and Li You asked Tian Chun whether the account in the "Historical Records" was true, but Tian Chun replied with a sneer.

Tian Chun told Li You. The content of Sima Qian's account was actually just a speculation out of thin air, limiting his imagination to guess the structure and magnificence of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. His account is actually similar to the peasant woman's imagination of the golden hoe used by the Yellow Emperor in the palace, and the queen eats meat and buns every day.

Li You was naturally dissatisfied with this answer. However, Tian Chun did not elaborate further on Li You's problem. just told Li You that when the Mo family participated in the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, they swore a heavy oath in front of the First Emperor, and it was impossible to leak half of the scene inside.

Li You was stunned, but he could only give up. Confucianism claims that feuds can be avenged, but the Mohists are unrelenting about their promises. It is easier to let them break their oath than to let them kill themselves.

However, looking at it, Li You's brows furrowed again. He seemed to see a place at the base of the wall, which seemed to have a mark left by the inker. But in fact, according to the previously established direction, the direction chosen by the ink artist is slightly deviated from this side. This can be attested to from the road signs left before.

The location of the marker is discreet. It is located in a bend in the stone wall, which does not meet the guidelines of the ink artist to make road signs. Because he didn't want to arouse the hostility of the villagers, Li You was a long distance away from the stone wall, and because of the location, the road signs were not very clear, and he couldn't conclude that what he saw was the mark left by the ink artist who opened the way. But if it's the mark left by the inker, then there's something wrong. This kind of signpost that does not conform to the code of conduct of the ink artist actually represents not the direction, but a kind of wake-up call, reminding the subsequent ink artist to pay attention to this place, which is definitely dangerous.

Li You remained silent, seemingly approaching Tian Chun, but in fact his attention was on the marked place. At this time, the dialogue between Tian Chun and the villagers was about to end. Seeing Li You coming, he explained a few words.

This village is called Qingliao Village, and it is indeed inhabited by servants. The mountain people have their own rules, and after dark, they will never tolerate any outsiders who will stay overnight. Even the familiar merchant and the nearby hunter could not be introduced into the village.

This is the survival wisdom of the mountain people. The mountain people live deep in the mountains, and the greatest danger they face is not the beasts, snakes and insects in the mountains, but more the same kind of people, the inhabitants of other villages. Most of these inhabitants retain the habits of primitive tribes, and it is very common for them to plunder other villages. In order to open the gates of other villages at night, you can think of any way. Because of this, in some seasons when it is easier to mobilize troops, even if the villagers of their own villages go out, after the time of closing the gate of the village, they can only sleep outside the gate for one night.

treats his own people like this, let alone outsiders like Li You.

But after some negotiations, Tian Chun still got permission from the mountain people to use the high ground outside to set up tents, but he still had to be ten feet away from the stone wall. In return, after dawn, the team had to leave them five catties of salt.

"Tian Chun, look at the ...... over there" Li You pointed to the icon he found and said: "There are marks left by our people, but the marks are a little strange and hidden, and the arrows are directional." ”

Li You knew very well that Tian Chun couldn't see the marks on the stone wall in the dark, but when he heard Li You's words, Tian Chun trembled, and his eyes looked towards the position Li You pointed to, but he couldn't see the ruler of the rainy night who couldn't see his five fingers, and he couldn't see anything else except the outline of the stone wall.

After a slight gaffe, Tian Chun's somewhat chaotic breathing became even again. He whispered: "Sir, according to the secret contact method of the Ink Person, if the road sign is reversed, it is a great danger, and the Ink Artist has lost more than half of the code words. Although the tone was calm, it could be heard that Tian Chun's almost calm tone revealed a chill and rage.

"What?!" Li You almost lost his voice and screamed. Controlling his emotions, Li You squinted his eyes and looked at Qingliao Village, his eyes flashing like blades: "They are looking for death!" At this moment, Li You didn't notice that the chill emanating from his body made Tian Chun feel a little cold.
