This is already the end of the canyon, and the valley in front of it is like the sky has been cut deep into the ground, forming a canyon as wide as a kilometer, and at the same time, the canyon continues to stretch forward until it becomes a disappearing black line.

On both sides of the river valley, the mountain shrubs are verdant and the ginseng trees are abundant, and the thick vegetation can be seen covering the mountain walls of the river valley, and the turbulent water rushes through, constantly scouring the mountain, forming tumbling waves that flow into the distance.

At the end of the river where they are located, there is a waterfall hundreds of meters wide, from which many rivers converge and rush down into the valley, like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, rushing for thousands of miles.

They had to stand at the far end of the waterfall to barely resist the erosion of the river and hold the canopy boat in place.

At this time, it is noon, the river valley is sprinkled with bright sunshine, only to see the waterfall hanging rainbow light pouring down, the farther verdant forest is thousands of green tents, unpredictable, it seems that there is no end, in addition, only the ape wailing, the green crane chirping.

It was expected that the river valley here was open and full of water, and the miasma dissipated relatively quickly, so that so many living creatures could sneak and roam in the dense forests of the river valley, making strange noises, and he really didn't believe that this place could forge a walled city.

First of all, the water vapor is larger, even if the house is really cast, it may not last long under the corrosion of water vapor, whether it is a rammed earth building or a wooden building, it cannot exist for a long time in such a strong water vapor, and then another, the river valley is steep, there is rarely a gentle slope of the platform, even if it is built with strength, at least there must be a place that needs to be borrowed, here the wall stands thousands of miles, steep and towering, it is naturally a steep moat, it is difficult to build a house, it is really not a good place.

"Uncle, where did the village near the east of pregnancy be built? Why didn't we see each other. ”

Before Yue Guanchao's words fell, Old Man Mo tied the canopy boat to the bank of the river and glanced at them: "It's right for you to come with me." ”

Since they all came to the river valley, there was no reason to retreat temporarily, Yue Guanchao and the others picked up their things, followed behind the old man Mo, and walked into the jungle through the river bank.

This jungle is located on the mountain wall on the right side of the waterfall, the plank road connects the forest, looming in the shade of grass and trees, a group of people together with Wuwei nearly 20 people, walking on the plank road of the cliff, following the old man Mo all the way down to climb, and then look up, only to see the waterfall hanging high cliff, they at least went down nearly a thousand meters.

"It's here!"

Old man Mo stopped in place, pointed to the nearby grotto plank road and said, "Entering from here, it is the walled city of the remnants of the eastern part of the country. ”

Yue Guanchao followed the old man's gesture and looked, and there was indeed an open-air half-hole recessed inward on the nearby mountain wall, which was about hundreds of meters long and hundreds of meters high before and after, as if a big gap had been cut on the surface of the canyon and a house and city wall were built inside.

It can be seen that at the end of the cliff, the tall walls with strong barriers, the corners of the eaves of the houses are slightly exposed, and the alleys and alleys of the blocks are connected, just like the blessed land of the villages and towns.

Yue Guanchao and they entered the cave and came to the end along the plank road built inward, where there was indeed a plaque of "Pregnant City".

It has probably been abandoned for more than 20 years, the plaques are cracked and faded, covered with spider white webs, the streets and alleys are full of collapsed courtyard walls, broken walls everywhere, and houses collapsed.

Countless weeds emerged from the brick walls and stone roads, supporting the road walls and potholes, falling masonry and stones, and the endless weeds withered and yellow fell to the ground, and the bushes were long, full of the corners of the village, and sometimes, you could hear strange movements flashing by, probably wild things that had strayed into it.

When everyone walked into it, the weeds were not more than halfway up, and they couldn't tell where the intersection was or where the collapsed courtyard was, so they had to take out a machete and forcibly cut a road.

"Look, there's a corpse here."

Yue Guanchao walked in front and attracted everyone to the past, and when Song Siyuan walked over, he could see half of the corpse lying on the ground at a glance.

The corpse seemed to have been cut off by something, only the upper body crawled out, the body was already covered with white bones, and the only flesh and blood were also dried, like black plum vegetables pasted on the skeleton, and the hands crawled with difficulty, as if they were afraid of something.

Song Siyuan looked down at the corpse, the necklace on the collar was indeed the totem of the pregnant family, indicating that this person was not an outsider, but the power of the remnants of the pregnant family, but only half of the corpse was somewhat weird.

"How can it be only half? What about the other half of him? ”

"The bodies were beheaded, and the other half were either elsewhere or cast into Jingguan."

Old man Mo muttered on the side.

"I remember I told you that there was an internal strife in the city of Pregnant Families back then, and after the gang fight, they were robbed and killed by the nearby Gu people, and these Gu people knew that they were harmed by the Pregnant East, and after these remnants were cleaned up, the remnants of the forces were made into Jingguan, and the body of the Pregnant East was also buried upside down."

"But what exactly is infighting?"

Song Siyuan asked the old man, the old man shook his head and sighed: "It's a long time, I haven't experienced it personally, no one knows what kind of infighting started, which caused the gang to fight to this point, back then, if they hadn't killed each other, these Gu people and mountain people might not be able to deal with them." ”

"The old man guesses that most of it has something to do with the counterattack on the plains!"

"Counterattack the Plains?"

"Yes!"

Old Man Mo lowered his tone and continued to explain: "You don't want to think about it, why did they retreat to the river valley because they were outflanked and besieged? The meaning of the east is to continue to recruit troops and gather forces in the valley so as to counterattack the plains. ”

"But." The old man's words changed: "It costs money to recruit troops and buy horses, even if they have money in the east of the country, there is always a degree, in the hills, in order to fight against the Jiangwu coalition army, they have already given a lot of benefits in exchange for the mountain people to defend them, and now in the river valley again, there will always be a day when the silver money will run out." ”

Old man Mo seemed to remember an important point, and his eyes flashed with a sly light: "Even, the subordinates of Pregnant Dongjin have lost interest in counterattacking the plains, back then, the Jiangwu coalition army controlled the plains and the hills like a bamboo, thanks to the poisonous miasma of the wild forest, so that they had a chance to breathe, if there was no poisonous forest as a buffer, the Jiangwu coalition army could also push the river valley sideways." ”

After speaking, the old man grabbed the weeds on the side and picked his teeth: "Let's fight these two armies, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, now they retreat and retreat, they have long lost the heart to regain the lost territory, and now what they desperately want is to recuperate, or even give up the counterattack on the plain, and be a free mountain king." ”

Anyway, there were so many mountain people who fled into the canyon back then, and most of them had ways to rob the mountain people, even if they didn't rob the mountain people, they could live a good life with the remaining money, but these remnants wanted to do this, but they couldn't bear to be unwilling!

Some people died, but not completely......
