The hill stands alone in the dense forest, the grass and trees are barren and uninhabited for dozens of miles, and the ancient village made of huge stones on the mountain is enough to live for tens of thousands of people.

"If the wind blows, take the standard team to inspect the stockade, be careful, find suspicious places, don't act rashly, mark them first, and wait for the team to come immediately and check them one by one. ”

If you want to firmly control the grassland, the key is whether you can withstand the siege of the two countries, Yeluqi's discovery is related to the success or failure of the war, Qiu Xingchen did not dare to take it lightly, so Qin Rufeng led the Lingbo standard team up, and saw that the soldiers were holding bows and bright swords as if facing the enemy, they divided into teams and began to inspect the stone house, he turned around and walked back. The ancient village is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and it is difficult for flying apes to cross on the southwest side, only the strange stones protruding from the cliffs on the east side can be climbed by the agile enemy, and Qiu Xingchen secretly paid attention to it when he saw it.

The inspector team carried dozens of rolls of rope on their backs, tied one end to the battlement of the city wall, and put it down along the cliff, and the team leaders pulled hard, and saw that the battlement did not move at all, so they had to send someone down to check, Gao Yuan made a sound to stop it, and learned from Yeluqi's mouth that there was a hanging coffin on the cliff, and the team members had to be prepared, otherwise they would open the sarcophagus and see the bones, and they were surprised that there would be accidental deaths and injuries.

"Brothers, the stones you see on the cliffs are actually the sarcophagi of the ancients, which have existed for an unknown number of years. ”

The inspectors have different expressions, but more of them are unbelievable, even Qiu Xingchen and several standard commanders pursed their lips and wanted to laugh, you have to remind everyone to be careful, don't make such a big joke, set up a sarcophagus on a hundred zhang cliff, don't say that the ancients couldn't do it with simple tools, and now they can't guarantee that it can be done.

"I didn't believe it at first, but Jerichie saw it with his own eyes, and he couldn't lie about it. Each sarcophagus has bones, some have not completely decayed, anyone will be panicked when they see it suddenly, dozens of feet high cliffs, it is not difficult to imagine the consequences of falling down. ”

There was not the slightest hint of joke in Gao Yuan's tone, coupled with Yeluqi nodding his head again and again to testify, more than a hundred people on the city wall were instantly petrified, Qiu Xingchen's face twitched a few times, and when he approached Gao Yuan, he kicked out, and even he dared to hide the truth.

"Pull up five rolls of rope!"

The inspector team ordered the left ear in and out of the right ear, and only after Gao Yuan nodded in approval did he start to collect the rope, and the inspector team was directly under the command of the county lord, Qiu Xingchen was not surprised, and he did not blame it at all.

"I want to use a few words to dispel the fear of the team members, the kid is too naïve, Yeluqi will take me and the three standard leaders down first, you command from above, and when we come up, you will go down alone and go around, and the brothers will naturally weaken when they see that there is no danger. ”

Teaching by example is better than words, when facing danger, the instructors took the initiative to stand up, Gao Yuan knew that he could not change Qiu Xingchen's decision, the instructors were stronger than the inspectors, more experienced, and they were not hypocritical at the moment, and ordered the team members to spray the instructors with anti-mosquito potion.

"Captain Qiu, don't open the lid of the coffin, in case there is corpse poison, and there is no cure. ”

Yeluch explained in detail as much as possible the dangers encountered before, be sure to carefully check each foothold, in case the stones are weathered and loosened, and snake and mosquito prevention is the key, the sarcophagus is half inserted into the cliff, mosquitoes are indispensable between the gaps, and the defense is the main thing to find out, don't shoot and kill easily, the instructors remember them one by one, and Yeluch finally repeatedly told not to lift the coffin lid.

"Cutting off people's heads on the battlefield is like cutting a melon, but I'm afraid of the bones of I don't know how many years, hahaha, you all remember, do what he says, be careful. ”

Qiu Xingchen settled the position of the captains, grabbed the rope and was about to slide down, but Gao Yuan stopped him, and handed over the rope head with a smile: "Coach, hehe, you are right, there is no big mistake in being careful, tie a rope around each person's waist, and we will slowly put it on it." Qiu Xingchen rarely lost his temper, and let Gao Yuan wrap the rope around his waist.

"Brothers, I'm not afraid of death when I fight, but the expedition is the first time in my life, I don't want the boys to see jokes, so I tie a rope just in case, and someone pulls it when I come up. ”

The rope around Yeluqi's waist was done by Yan Zifeng and Chang Yunfei himself, and they directly tied him into a dead knot, still uneasy, and searched his body carefully twice, and found no hidden sharp weapons, Yan Zifeng laughed and apologized, but no matter how he sounded, it sounded like a warning.

"We're villains, don't be surprised, hehe, there's a team of people hiding under the cliff, your brother is really going to fall, they promise to catch it, with several fishing nets." ”

"Don't scare people, I'm not afraid of accidents, Yeluqi, what should you do if you encounter danger with your bare hands, I don't want to go, I specially prepared an iron rod for you to defend yourself. ”

Gao Yuan pretended to be a good person on the side, and motioned to Chang Yunfei to bring the three-foot-long iron rod over, and Yeluqi unceremoniously took it and inserted it into his waist.

"Lao Tzu really wants to harm you, why bother to attack on the cliff, there is a chance to enter the cave. ”

Yeluqi first slid down the rope, Qiu Xingchen and the four of them stood in different positions, and waited for him to slide down for four or five zhang before moving, and his figure soon turned into a small black dot looming on the cliff.

"Zifeng, the method is good, I will still tie him up tomorrow after entering the cave. ”

For Yeluqi, Gao Yuan has always been wary, and he was deliberately handed over to the Yan family's dead soldier team to guard, and he took care of his life very thoughtfully, but he was not allowed to approach others, and he didn't want Yan Zifeng to do more, so he still felt at ease with a rope tied around his waist, and he also sent someone to ambush under the cliff to prevent him from taking the opportunity to slip away.

"How could I have wanted to get so much, it was all prepared by my sister-in-law secretly, I used to order fishing nets in Jicuiguan, I felt it was a burden all the way, and now it comes in handy, and it is absolutely easy to catch people. ”

Speaking of Yan Ning, Yan Zifeng's face was full of pride, daring to snatch people from the hands of the imperial county lord, mortals didn't have the guts, and the result was really successful, and Hua Yue and Mei Ying seemed to acquiesce to the facts, better than Gao Yuan's kid, but in the future, there will be offended, and there are any difficult means hidden behind the gentle smile, Yan Zifeng, who grew up together, knows best.

"When the coach finds a foothold, send someone down with a rope, and explore down one by one, remember to tie it strongly, and leave a sentry at a foothold. ”

Qiu Xingchen preemptively led the team to investigate, but the result was not much different, Gao Yuan was not in a hurry to see the hanging coffin, it was nothing more than a few piles of broken bones scattered in the stone box, perhaps it had already turned into bone powder in the wind and sun, and the grassland people did not know the origin of the ancient village, which showed that it had existed for at least thousands of years, and the people at that time had no treasures to accompany the burial, and Yeluqi's accomplice died unjustly enough, no wonder he never came back after getting out by luck.

"Captain, I think it's strange, the ancient village is dozens of miles away, not a single tree can be seen, the weeds do not grow, who will choose to settle here, what to eat and drink, if you want to go to the forest to hunt, build a village in the forest in many ways, why bother to run to the mountains. ”

Yan Zifeng's question no one could answer, and Chang Yunfei kept staring at the bottom of the cliff, and said with a smile: "I estimate that the sarcophagus weighs tens of thousands of catties, how did they put it on the cliff and take a ladder up from below, nearly a hundred zhang high, even if there is such a long ladder, who would dare to climb it." It should be above, if there are enough people, you can put down the sarcophagus, but I always think it is possible, it is easy to put it down, how to insert it into the cliff, there are not a few people standing on the stone platform, who has so much strength, I am a little bit convinced that God is helping. ”

"Captain, look at the stone houses in the stockade, they are surprisingly tall, they can live in people, and they are built so high. If you look closely, the stone houses are being raised one by one in the middle, and the foundations of the most central houses are higher than the wall. ”

An inspector was bored to look at the village, and found that the stone house was raised layer by layer, thinking that it was built along the mountain, and only after looking at it for a long time did he feel strange, the height of each floor was about the same, where did there be so many natural platforms on the mountain, unless it was artificially chiseled out, and the same height was maintained for several miles around, who had this eye for stonemasons.

Gao Yuan felt abnormal when he entered the village, the wall seemed to be built in the middle of the mountain, walked around and overturned the idea, the wall did not have obvious ups and downs, it was too unbelievable to say that it was a natural formation, and he was even more surprised after listening to the explanation of the team members.

"I remember, I used to read an idle book, saying that the witchcraft believes that people can be resurrected after death, hang the coffin on a high place, **** eat and drink dew, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and after resurrection, they can live forever like a god. ”

Yan Zifeng patted his head and blurted out, after saying that, he was scared and trembled, and the surrounding team members all shivered, and then looked at him with an unkind face, the dead are resurrected, even if you have seen it in the book, is it intentional to disturb the morale of the army when you say it in this scene, the captains and standard commanders are still exploring below, and the sarcophagus lid will suddenly be lifted and sit up, and he will be so frightened that he will fall down the cliff.

"Don't scare yourself, even if the dead are resurrected, he is still a human being, what is there to be afraid of, if we really want to become a god, we are lucky, help the god get out of the sarcophagus, each of us asks for an elixir, and by the way, ask him to extinguish the sunset and Cuihua, and everyone occupies a city. ”

I didn't see it, Chang Yunfei still had this insight and courage, a few words not only dispelled the fear of the inspectors, but also made people excited, helping God get out of trouble, thinking about it felt great enough, a few people were eager to try, and looked eagerly at the captain Gao Yuan, hoping that he would order him to climb down the rope to grab the first credit.

"Didn't you wake up and sleepwalk in the daytime, there really must be miracles, how could the bandits who were entrenched in the ancient village more than ten years ago let the tribal cavalry be trapped alive. ”

Gao Yuan and the inspectors guessed the origin of the sarcophagus of the ancient village on it, Qiu Xingchen, who was close to the cliff, was stretching out his hand to lift the lid of the coffin, not seeing the scene inside, how could he rest assured that he would camp in the ancient village and not let the other standard commanders move, that was for fear of danger, but someone had to strike first, and it was not appropriate to send anyone to take the lead except for himself.

"There was an accident!"

The rope tied to Qiu Xingchen's waist came with a pulling force, according to the agreed signal, it was to let the people above collect the rope, the sentry chief reported to Gao Yuan when he saw this, waved his hand and pulled up with his subordinates, Gao Yuan stepped to the cliff in a few steps, looked down, and saw that the coach was climbing up, so he settled down to help pull up the rope.

"Don't be in a hurry, there was no accident, it should be the captain who found out. (To be continued.) )
