Chapter 287: Mysterious Territory, Armory
Shen Linfeng didn't feel much surprised, if this camp was really a place for stationing troops, then it was too common for weapons to appear. Good weapons are taken with you, and bad ones are discarded here, of course.
Shen Linfeng turned over the whole thing, although some of the weapons had already grown rust. But the edge is still extremely sharp.
In the following time, Shen Linfeng opened the doors of seven or eight houses in a row. Inside, without exception, were all tattered weapons. But some of them are not as simple as ordinary knives and arrows.
Shen Linfeng circled around a wooden cart with a square wooden box on top of it. In appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Miyun Arrow on the Jade Girl Peak.
The handle of the cart is inlaid with an iron handwheel, and the top of the handwheel is wrapped with thin iron wires that extend to the inside of the wooden box.
Out of curiosity, Shen Linfeng gently turned the handwheel with his hand. Sure enough, the wooden lid on the cart slowly opened. At the same time, the entire cabinet began to tilt forward gradually.
Shen Linfeng walked to the front of the cart and saw that the open box was densely packed with round holes the thickness of his thumb. You don't need to ask Shen Linfeng to know that there must be bows and arrows in this wooden box.
Seeing this kind of weapon, Shen Linfeng would inevitably be a little surprised. Could it be that in recent years, the Celestial Empire has been at war with the Ulan Kingdom, so the Celestial Empire will secretly train the army here?
Since it was training the army, why did they have to do it so secretively? Moreover, the style of these buildings was extremely strange, why did they build the houses to look like this? Shen Linfeng didn't know about other places, but he had never seen this style of building in the Central Plains.
Could it be......
Shen Linfeng turned around and looked at the palace-like building in front of him again, and a bold idea gradually crept into his heart?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Shen Linfeng shook his head as he vetoed the idea in his heart.
When it was determined that this was not a building in the Central Plains, Shen Linfeng's first thought was: Ulan Kingdom!
But he wasn't sure, because the truce between the Celestial Empire and the Ulan Kingdom was only a few months ago. And this camp has been here for at least five years, and before that, even ordinary merchants and vendors in the Ulan Kingdom will not be able to set foot in the Celestial Empire. Not to mention the number of such an army.
Since he couldn't think of the result, Shen Linfeng directly kicked the trolley in front of him to the ground and walked away.
Immediately after, opposite Shen Linfeng was a two-story building. Pushing open the wooden door, the first thing I saw was a dozen tattered tables and chairs. On the wall opposite the door hung a mutilated map marked with many red and black arrows. Even Shen Linfeng, who didn't know anything about military affairs, could see at a glance that the arrows marked by these marks were the offensive routes.
The final location of the point, the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire.
The map marking the starting point was missing, and Shen Linfeng believed that someone must have torn it up on purpose. In order to disguise their identity.
The two-story building, like the previous one, was empty in almost every room. Shen Linfeng walked out directly from a back door on the first floor.
The back of the small building resembles a garden, although it is no longer in shape. But Shen Linfeng could still vaguely identify the winding path inside, as well as a bunch of rockeries that had long since collapsed.
Shen Linfeng found a large pavilion along the path full of wild grass. There is a statue erected in the pavilion, and judging by its dress, it is not the costume of the Central Plains. This is not the only thing that is strange, although the statues are so beautifully carved that even the folds of the clothes are clearly carved. But the gang of people who suffered a thousand cuts did not carve this person's face.
In addition, in front of the statue there is a deep circular pit, which is not very large, about two feet in diameter. The edge of the pit was made of a few square stones, and it was all black inside.
Shen Linfeng studied for a long time and found that this deep pit should be used to burn paper money or other things during some kind of sacrifice.
The latter is somewhat similar to the customs of the Central Plains, as for this deep pit......
Shen Linfeng sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and it was completely dark at this time.
"Hoo ......"
The beating fire burned in the deep pit in front of the statue, and Shen Linfeng looked at the statue that was red by the flames. The face without facial features flickered brightly and darkly, looking very weird.
Shen Linfeng, who was choking on dry food, coughed repeatedly, he threw it aside, and then put his legs on the stone bench and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
Time passed slowly, and the flames in the pit gradually dimmed. The moonlight flickered between the clouds, and the breeze was sometimes strong and weak, and sometimes it came and went.
"Da, da!"
A slight sound sounded, and in the darkness in the distance, a branch shook slightly.
"Da ......"
Shen Linfeng frowned slightly, at first he thought it was other animals that were nocturnal. But when the voice came in again, his eyes suddenly widened. Immediately after, one of his heels rolled over and landed.
He stared, carefully observing the woods in front of him. The reason why Shen Linfeng is like this is because of the "da-da" sound just now...... but the sound of the horse's hoof.
In the haze, a tall black shadow loomed. It held its head high and chewed on the leaves in front of it. Suddenly, the light of the fire at the gazebo attracted its attention. The black shadow looked left and right, slowly walking forward.
It gradually approached the pavilion, but Shen Linfeng was nowhere to be seen.
The dark shadow gradually became clear, and its fur was as dazzling as fire. The body is tall, the physique is muscular, and the limbs look even more powerful and powerful. The faint light of the fire became more and more vivid on its body.
Shen Linfeng didn't know when he had landed on top of the pavilion, and he had already determined in his heart that the horse in front of him must be the peerless horse that Huazhilin said.
The horse was already approaching the fire, and it seemed to smell the scent of a human being, and there was a hint of alarm in its eyes.
Shen Linfeng was already ready, just waiting to catch it when it was unprepared.
"Hey, anyone?"
"Ahh
Suddenly, a human voice came from the darkness, accompanied by a scream.
Shen Linfeng knew that it was not good, and by the time he was ready to make a move, the horses under the pavilion had already disappeared into the darkness.
"Damn!" Shen Linfeng scolded secretly.
He continued to hide in the gazebo, waiting for the speaker to appear.
Five figures slowly emerged from the darkness, their pace slow, one of them still snorting in pain. It was evident that they had walked very carefully, and three of the five had already secured their weapons in their hands.
When they gradually approached, Shen Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, the people who came were Xu He, Zhong Ruida, Tu Fangfang and others.
