Chapter 20: The Secret Realm of the Valley (1)
Finally, through the woodland, there is a tall stone mountain in front of me, the stone mountain is smooth as a mirror, like a sharp sword rising into the sky, covering half of the sky, but from the low edge can be seen, on the opposite side is a huge cliff, the bottom is not reduced, shrouded in a layer of mist, there is no way to go.
However, Xi Ling'er went around to a seemingly ordinary boulder, and turned over with the help of a raised stone, Fang Ling followed it, and suddenly found that there was a mountain road leading to the bottom of the cliff behind the stone.
Fang Ling couldn't help but be surprised: "You live down here?"
Xi Ling'er's face was full of joy, and she nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, go down from here, there is a large area in the valley, and my family lives in the largest city." ”
As she spoke, she took out a small black bean pill from the animal skin bag straddling her waist and threw it into her mouth.
Fang Ling was secretly surprised, the road behind this mountain was so difficult to find, and he didn't know how the people of the Xi Kingdom found it back then, but because it was so hidden, he was able to avoid the mountains and horses of the Great Song Kingdom.
Walking down the mountain road with Xi Ling'er, the road became wider and wider, and a colorful mist rose in the sky, covering the entire sky, which looked very beautiful.
Along the way, you can also see some unheard of exotic flowers and plants, the flowers are always colorful, and even the grass is composed of many colors, but I have not seen any animals or anything like that.
It seems that from the moment you approach the thorny woodland, the animals seem to be extinct, and ordinary land animals cannot see them, and not even a single bird can be seen in the sky.
The more he walked down, the more Fang Ling found that the bottom of this valley was indeed a huge place, with forests one after another, and there were no edges in sight, and the shadows of some villages could be faintly seen.
When I reached the bottom of the valley, I couldn't see the sun when I looked up, only the colorful mist flowing in the air, which was extremely gorgeous.
The flat valley is a dense and tall forest, with a carved avenue in the middle that passes through the depths of the forest.
The tall trees don't know how many years they have grown, many of the trunks are as thick as a millstone, some even two or three people can't close together, the leaves are dense and fat, covering the sky and the sun, although it is early spring, but there is still some coolness when walking in it.
It didn't take long for a village to appear in front of the village, there was a wooden fence outside the village, each piece of stake was seven or eight feet high, more than three feet wide, cut squarely, and it seemed impermeable after being connected into a piece, outside the fence, there was a ditch around the village, which was ten feet wide and deep, and only a wooden bridge could enter the village, but at this time, the gate of the village was closed tightly.
Fang Ling looked secretly strange, he also walked a lot of roads at the bottom of the valley, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of wild beasts in this place, but he hasn't even touched a rabbit, but this trench should be dug to prevent wild beasts from attacking.
There were also four sentry posts built in the fence, on which four young men dressed in animal skins stood, each holding a bow and arrow, and watched every move outside the village with great vigilance.
Looking in from the outside, you can clearly see the wooden houses in the village, because the trees in the forest are very old, so the wood used for construction is also very large, and the building of the house is quite atmospheric.
