Chapter 16: The Valley of the Burial Soldiers

In the next few days, there were no other forces, and the mercenary groups that followed behind were also peaceful, those mercenary groups still followed behind unhurriedly and did not dare to act rashly, they did not move, Lin Sheng and they were naturally happy, and naturally did not take the initiative to provoke them.

The continuous peace and quiet for a few days did not make Lin Sheng and his party relax in the slightest, on the contrary, Lin Sheng felt that something big was about to happen, probably this is the precursor of the so-called storm. The group had been in a hurry for more than seven days, and they saw that they were about to reach the border of the Chu State, Lin Sheng and the others were now outside the Grand Canyon of the Burial Soldiers that had entered the territory of the Chu State, if they continued at this speed, it would only take two days to reach the Izumo City of the Chu State.

The Grand Canyon of the Burial Soldier is one of the largest canyons in the whole Fairy Continent, the total length is more than 200 miles, the canyon is deep and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, the reason why it is called the Burial Soldier Valley, it is because of this, but in recent years, it is a rare peace, and few countries have sent troops to be stationed here. This canyon is the only passage from the Middle Continent to enter the Chu State, and there is no other way out of this passage, so it has led to the fact that there are many large and small bandit gangs in the canyon like cow hair, and there will be a group of bandits lurking all year round almost every dozen miles. These bandits live all year round by robbing the past merchants, although there are many bandits here, but there are still many businessmen who can't resist the temptation of profit and take risks, lucky, but they have not encountered any danger, the bandits here are different from the bandits in other places, probably they are also for their own long-term interests, they never rob the merchants who pass through their territory, but only take a part, after all, if they do too much, then these merchants will not dare to come again, this is undoubtedly their own smashing of their own jobs, which can be regarded as a thief and a way。

For these little shrimp-like bandits, Lin Sheng naturally didn't pay attention to them, they had so many mercenaries plus two martial artists in the martial spirit period, if they were even afraid of such a group of rabble, then they wouldn't have to mix it up anymore, and it would be better to disband the mercenary group directly. Therefore, they took a short rest outside the valley and entered this Grand Canyon of Burial Soldiers, which was more than 200 miles long.

Lin Sheng is still the first time to come to this burial valley, he heard his father talk about this burial valley when he was a child, and now he finally has the opportunity to come here by himself, naturally he has to enjoy the unique scenery of the burial valley, Lin Sheng entered the valley is to feel the extraordinary features of this burial valley, Lin Sheng began to think that this burial valley is a desolation, but when he left the valley is found that he was wrong, and the mistake is outrageous, this burial valley can not help but not be as desolate as he imagined, but lush, a vibrant scene, at this time it is already early winter, outside the valley has long been withered flowers and trees, grass and leaves withered yellow, but because the deep canyon isolates the cold air from the outside world, the valley is still green, and in some places there are even a little yellow and white wildflowers proudly blooming.

"This burial Gu Guo is extraordinary, it can still maintain such vitality at this time, wonderful, wonderful!" Lin Sheng sighed unconsciously.

"Yes, this fruit is a wonder! It is rare, rare, and it is a beautiful thing to live in this valley with your wife and children when you are old. Liu Pojun also seemed to be moved by the wonders in this valley, and couldn't help but say.

"That's a good note, and it's worth considering. Lin Sheng said thoughtfully.

At this time, the old man who had been walking behind listened to the words of the two, but he smiled faintly, took the reins and stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is not a good place to retire, do you know why these plants and trees do not wither in winter?"

"This is not simple, this canyon is high and deep, only at noon can you see a ray of sunlight all year round, and the mountains on both sides completely block the cold air from the outside, and the grass and trees here are naturally later than the outside world. Ghost smiled confidently.

Old Man Chang nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes, what you said is part of the reason, but the main reason has not been mentioned yet." ”

"Are there any other reasons?" Lin Sheng wondered, the reason he could think of was almost the same as the ghost laughing, and if he wanted to think of other reasons, he really couldn't think of it.

"The reason for this has to be considered from the name of this canyon. Old Man Chang said with a mysterious smile.

"Name?...... Burial Soldier Valley," Lin Sheng, Ghost Smile, and Liu Pojun muttered.

"Burial...... Soldier...... Gu ......"

"Could it be ......" Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he thought of this, if it was really like what he thought, then this burial valley ......

"Finally thought of it?" said Old Man Chang with a smile.

At this time, Liu Pojun and Ghost Xiao also seemed to think of something, and their faces changed faintly.

"In fact, this burial valley did not have a name three hundred years ago, and it was not until three hundred years later that a general of the Chu State named this canyon, and it has been used to this day. This general's name is Bai Qi, three hundred years ago Chu and Shu war, the fledgling Chu general Bai Qi used a plan to lure 400,000 Shu soldiers into the valley, and finally 400,000 Shu soldiers did not survive, all of them were killed by Bai Qi pit in this burial valley, and since then this canyon is called a burial ...... Soldier...... Gu ......"

"Sure enough!" Lin Sheng's scalp was a little numb when he heard this, my God, a whole 400,000 soldiers, all of them died in this burial valley, this old man called Bai Qi is really a bit ruthless, 400,000 people, even if they are one by one, they are about to fill the canyon of more than two hundred miles!

The old man seemed to understand what Lin Sheng was thinking, and then said with a solemn face: "What is this, since ancient times, the rise of which dynasty has not died, and it will be a success! This world will always only judge heroes by success or failure, what role did the 400,000 soldiers of Shu in this burial valley die here? It is just to provide some nourishment for the flowers and trees in this valley! Now I know why the plants in this burial valley are still so prosperous in the middle of winter!" Yes, it is the corpses of these more than 400,000 soldiers who provide them with nourishment here!"

Although Lin Sheng and the three of them vaguely guessed this result just now, when they really heard the cause and effect of the incident, their scalps were still numb, and they only felt that the Burial Soldier Valley in front of them was full of ghosts, which made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts!

It's not that they're cowardly, they're also veterans of killing, but the thought that this is the burial place of the 400,000 army still makes my heart a little hairy.
