Two days later, Yang Lin left Xingyun Mountain with Zhao Lin, Zhong Yewu, Xiang Bao and Li Liang and headed northwest of Yanzhou.

In order to facilitate the journey, he specially borrowed five horses from the sect.

Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, galloped for two days, and came to the foot of a rolling mountain.

"Did the head of the courtyard bring us here to cultivate and cultivate?"

"It's not quite like that, the exercises we practice are all different."

"The cultivation of creation may not be related to the five elements, maybe it is to enjoy the famous mountains and rivers and broaden the mind......

Several disciples discussed privately, but Yang Lin just didn't hear it, and never revealed the purpose of the trip.

The group of five people rested at the inn at the bottom of the mountain, deposited their horses, and then walked up the mountain on foot.

It is the golden autumn, and the forests on the mountain are dyed, and the eyes are all splendid.

"This mountain is called Yueguan Mountain, here is called Beiyuling, the mountain is continuous, the location is dangerous, it is the main road to guard the north of my Dayue."

Yang Lin talked eloquently, with some emotion in his tone, "After this mountain, it is not the boundary of our Dayue." ”

Zhao Lin and the others looked at each other, and they were even more convinced that they had come this time to cultivate cultivation, and they looked around as they walked.

However, Yueguan Mountain is not majestic, and it is not even as good as Xingyun Mountain, where the sect is located, but it is more winding and long.

Ascending to the top of the mountain, after walking for a while, Zhao Lin suddenly saw some broken walls and ruins on the ridge not far away, and more than a dozen gray city walls were erected.

Zhao Lin thought that his eyes were spent, and rubbed it vigorously, but the city wall in front of him became clearer and clearer.

I couldn't help but breathe, felt something in my body be awakened, and blurted out: "The Great Wall!" ”

Yang Lin glanced back at Zhao Lin and said in surprise: "Zhao Lin, do you know its name?" ”

Zhao Lin took a deep breath and explained, "Disciple sees that although these walls are dilapidated, they should be connected as a whole, like a long city wall. I just casually came up with a name, and I don't know if it's right? ”

Yang Lin smiled, "Just let you say it right!" This is the border wall built by the countries of the Central Plains more than 2,000 years ago in order to resist foreign invasions. ”

Xiang Bao said suddenly: "Did the head of the hospital bring parents and children from the inner courtyard at the beginning of the year?" I heard my brother mention it, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now I remember it. ”

Yang Lin nodded, "Yes, I brought them here." ”

Li Liang was puzzled: "Courtyard head, this city wall is so low, what can it stop?" Even if martial arts were not flourishing at that time, those alien races could still climb over the wall, right? ”

Yang Lin shook his head, "It's not that easy, this wall is not high, people can turn over it, but what about horses?" ”

"Those aliens are good at riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, if there are no horses, it is like a tiger without its claws, and it can't turn over any wind and waves."

Li Liang was speechless for a while, but immediately thought of another question: "Won't they dig the Great Wall?" ”

"Yes, it's not hard to break a wall."

"Building such a long city wall, I'm afraid it will cost the people and money, right?"

Xiang Bao and Zhong Yewu also agreed.

Yang Lin laughed, "This wall is not easy to chise. You may see it now as dilapidated and falling down as soon as you push it, but don't forget that it was built more than 2,000 years ago, and it can be preserved to this day, which shows how strong it was back then. ”

As they spoke, they came to a city wall and found that the wall was extremely thick, and it was more than a foot thick.

Li Liang and the others stopped talking, such a thick city wall is not something that can be chiseled casually.

Yang Lin stretched out his hand and tapped the wall twice, then said: "This Great Wall is made of rammed earth mixed with coarse sand, red mud and large rocks. ”

"Those aliens come to steal their belongings, will they take these bulky guys with them?"

"Take a step back, even if they bring it, it will take time to break through the Great Wall, right? The beacon tower can give early warning in time, so that the people can withdraw and the army will come. ”

When Xiang Bao and the others heard this, they all gasped.

Yang Lin gradually put away his smile and said solemnly: "Not only that, even if these alien races get lucky and burn and loot, guess how they will go back?" ”

"Running away from somewhere else? The Great Wall has to be excavated again, and it is too late. If you return along the same road, then it is obvious that our Central Plains army will not be ambushed in advance? ”

"And the Great Wall is not only a city wall, but also a convenient straight road. The army does not need to be deployed everywhere as before, as long as it walks the Great Wall, it can be quickly assembled. ”

"You guys, it's too simple to think of our ancestors!"

Zhao Lin didn't speak, he only felt as if time had traveled back to his previous life, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a long time.

Traveling into this strange world, he has always felt a sense of alienation, and there is always a voice reminding him that he is in a different world.

Fortunately, the cultural customs of this world are similar to those of his previous life, which makes him feel more intimate, but there is always a gap.

But at this moment of seeing the Great Wall, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate, and tears wet his eyes.

The Great Wall is not only a great wall, but also a spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation's perseverance, wisdom and courage.

It is a totem engraved in the bones of every Chinese person and integrated into the blood.

In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain.

Whenever the Chinese nation is in crisis, the majestic Great Wall can always unite the strength of all people, in the long history of thousands of years!

Isn't that what the national anthem is sung like that?

The mountain wind is cold, and the robes are drumming.

Zhao Lin raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Yang Lin suddenly looked over and said with a smile: "Zhao Lin, why don't you speak?" ”

Zhao Lin was silent for a moment and said, "Courtyard leader, now that martial arts are on the rise, and there is no confrontation between large armies, is the Great Wall useless?" ”

"Yes and no."

Yang Lin's eyes flashed, and his expression was like, "Although the Great Wall can no longer help us guard the frontier, its historical achievements are indelible!" ”

"It can stand for thousands of years, isn't it just to inspire my generation of warriors to build an invisible Great Wall for the Central Plains and for the people?"

"More than 40 years ago, no one in Dayue entered the top eight for three consecutive years, in addition to sending property to foreign races, it also reached the point of land cession compensation!"

"At that time, some people in the court said that the border area was sparsely populated, and it didn't hurt to cut out a piece casually, and you could pay less money. The old man disagreed, I can't lose an inch of the Central Plains land! ”

"Fortunately, at the time of crisis, many talents emerged from the three major sects of the Central Plains at the same time, so as to keep the land from losing."

Yang Lin said, pointing into the distance, "You see, these great rivers and mountains are all the inheritance left by the ancestors, how can they be handed over?" ”

"The old man has participated in three martial arts competitions, and he has only done a little bit, and now that he is old, it will be up to you in the future!"

Speaking of this, he laughed, "I said a lot of great truths, in fact, even if it is not for Dayue, not for the sect, for your own sake, you have to cultivate hard, right?" ”

Only then did Zhao Lin, Xiang Bao and the others understand the purpose of Yang Lin bringing them here, exchanged glances with each other, and saw the ambition in each other's eyes.
