Volume III Chapter 64 Residency
After going a little deeper, Lu Ming shouted to Zhuge Wei and Mao Xiaotian, "Let's go forward and disperse and check, and meet by the stream in an hour." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The two of them answered, and each continued to go deeper.
The woods are not big, and after walking for more than ten minutes, Lu Ming entered the mountain behind the woods. First, there was a small clearing, and there were no particularly tall weeds, but some grasses with more tenacious vitality. In front of the clearing are the walls of two mountains, nothing special, there is a narrow passage between the two walls,
Lu Ming looked around and walked towards the passage, the passage was too narrow, and Lu Ming, who was already relatively thin, could only move sideways to move inside.
Lu Ming found that although the passage was narrow, it was very smooth, as if it had been smoothed out. I walked sideways for a while, but I didn't feel like I was being hit by the hard rock protruding from the mountain.
Lu Ming said to himself, "Such a narrow passage, but there are smooth mountain walls, it seems that in the past, people who walked from here were very frequent, and the mountain would be smoothed." ”
Although the passage is very smooth, it is not very convenient to walk, and it took Lu Ming more than ten minutes to pass through the passage.
When I walked out of the passage, I saw a large area of buildings in front of me. Although most of the buildings have collapsed over the years, it is still evident that many people lived here, or rather, an army was stationed here. In the distance, a flag was damaged, but it was still standing.
"It seems that the army stationed in Chenjiaao Mountain that Zhuge Wei said should be stationed here, but I didn't expect that this narrow passage would lead here."
The foundations of the buildings in the group are lower than the passage where Lu Ming is located, so Lu Ming can see the scope of the building at a glance. From the passage to the right, there are stone steps, and the slope is very gentle, until you go down more than two dozen stone steps.
Most of the buildings are made of stone and look unusually sturdy, and although many of them have collapsed today, they can still be seen as they once were.
Lu Ming walked towards the building complex, looked left and right, and found that the layout of the building was very regular, judging from the arrangement of soldiers in ancient times, the two-story building in the middle should be the big account of the Chinese army, that is, the residence of the general stationed here. In this way, it is distributed outward, that is, the lieutenant general and the creep.
Lu Ming walked all the way, but he didn't find any living creatures, originally, he thought that in an abandoned place like this, there would usually be animals to occupy the cave, so he had been walking cautiously and slowly from the beginning when he came in.
After a while, Lu Ming walked to the two-story building of the Chinese army's tent. This is one of the very few buildings in the complex that is not built of stone. The doors, the windows, were all tightly closed, they were already covered with dust, and there were some cobwebs propped up in the corners.
Lu Ming stepped forward and pushed it gently, and the door creaked and was opened. The dust on it was also scattered as the door was opened.
Directly opposite the door was a table, behind which was a chair, and behind which was a screen. There are pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, all available. There is also a token barrel, in which a token with a golden order is quietly placed.
On the right side of the table is a hanging map, and on the left is a hanger, presumably where the general's armor is placed. There are also a few chairs and coffee tables on both sides of the house.
Lu Ming said to himself: "This should be the meeting hall." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the map.
The map was already covered with dust, and Lu Ming flicked it lightly, and the dust scattered from the map. You can clearly see the situation marked above.
This is a topographic map of a hundred miles of Longmen, and what is even more interesting is that Lu Ming found that the location of Longmen actually drew a dragon gate. Although the appearance is different from what I saw in the underground palace of the academy, it also shows that the army here is indeed the exclusive force to protect the Dragon Gate, as Zhuge Wei said.
Zhuge Wei once said to himself that even the people of the Zhuge family knew very little about Longmen, so it was very likely that the general who was stationed in the local army did not know the true existence of Longmen. So what does this dragon gate sign, which is clearly drawn on the map, mean?
Lu Ming looked at the stack of books on the table, picked it up and looked at it, it was the thread-bound "Art of War", it seemed that the age was also very far away, at least not the version after the war.
Gently putting the book back in its place, Lu Ming looked at the stairs, intending to go upstairs to take a look.
The stairs are wooden, they are old, Lu Ming walked up, and the stairs seemed to be unbearable, making a squeaking sound, as if they were about to crack in the next moment. With every step, dust fills the floor.
Lu Ming cautiously walked up to the second floor, and as far as he could see, there was only a table of eight immortals, and a few chairs were placed underneath. Behind the desk was a door, and I knew that behind it was the General's bedroom.
Crossing the table of the Eight Immortals, I pushed open the door, and sure enough, it was indeed a bedroom.
The bedroom is rudimentary, with only a bed, a table, a cupboard, a hanger, and a painting on the wall. Other than that, there is nothing. As a general's bedroom, it is really basic.
Naturally, the only painting that attracted Lu Ming was the only one in the room. The reason why Lu Ming was attracted by this painting as soon as he entered the house was because the painting depicted a carp jumping over the dragon gate, the point was that this "dragon gate" was the same as the one he saw in the underground palace. That is to say, the person who painted this painting had seen the dragon gate and painted the dragon gate, perhaps in order to cover up something, extending him into a wonderful picture of a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
Seeing this painting, Lu Ming felt a little wave in his heart and sighed.
Now this is also a borderless place, and Lu Ming plans to take this painting with him. As soon as he stepped forward, he took off the scroll, flicked the dust, and rolled it up. There's also a painting tube right next to it, just right in it.
At this time, he realized that there was a dark grid behind the painting.
There was a small box in the dark grid, Lu Ming put the scroll into the painting tube, put it aside, and moved the small box out. A small copper lock, Lu Ming dropped it with a slight pull.
When the small box was opened, it was not anything of value, but a few codexes. The cover reads, "Codex of Generals of the Ages".
Lu Ming took out the one on it, put down the small box, and opened the first page of the codex.
"At the beginning of the eighth year of the Republic of China. If there is a shortage of troops and horses today, and there is an invasion of foreign enemies, although Longmen is in the north, it will eventually be peaceful, and bandits will be rampant in the near future. However, the report to the family was rejected. Great ambition is hard to pay, and regret is ...... for life"
There are few handwritings, just to express the great ambition in the heart of the general stationed here at that time, and the family in his mouth is the Zhuge family. Lu Ming didn't continue to read, but put the codex back in the small box.
