Chapter Seventy-Four: The Remains of Heroes

Lu Yuan put away the Miao knife, got up and walked to the ice cave not far away.

It was the first time Lu Yuan had seen a real ice cave, so he was more curious.

Looking at the ice cave in front of him, Lu Yuan's first thought was the thousand-year-old Xuanbing described in various novels, the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing.

Next is all kinds of adventures, Lu Yuan was very obsessed with martial arts novels for a few years when he was young.

In many martial arts novels published in Da Ryukyu at that time, the protagonist entered the Great Snow Mountain and fell into various ice caves and ice caves.

Then he encountered various adventures, and he achieved martial arts overnight, and swept the bridge sections in all directions after leaving the mountain.

Later, after the rise of online novels, there were many similar episodes in the early fantasy category.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought about it, he suddenly found that the biggest adventure he had already experienced himself.

Could it be that there is anything more magical than Xiao Ding in his own divine court?

He shook his head and stepped into the freeze.

After entering the cave, Lu Yuan felt that the temperature was higher than that of the outside world.

"No wonder the Eskimos built ice houses, it turns out that ice houses are so good at protecting against the cold!"

Lu Yuan sighed as he walked forward.

This ice cave was even longer than Lu Yuan had imagined.

And the further you go inside, the wider it becomes!

"This ice cave can't be hollowing out this glacier!"

Lu Yuan walked about three hundred meters inside, and at this time he noticed that something appeared in front of him.

When I walked in, I saw that a person was frozen in the ice wall.

The man was wearing cotton armor and an eight-petaled iron-tipped helmet on his head. He also wears a pair of red boots underfoot.

Judging from the dress of this person, he should be an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

And it shouldn't be an ordinary soldier, judging from the helmet and armor, at least a thousand households or a general.

This speculation was not made by Lu Yuan at will, but based on relevant information during the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the military has been the most hierarchical place.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, obedience has been emphasized in the army from ancient times to the present.

An army without obedience is actually a straggler, and it has no combat effectiveness.

And to strengthen obedience, there must be a strict hierarchy.

The same is true of the ancient Zhuxia, where there will be obvious differences in the clothing and armor worn by soldiers of different ranks.

Not only that, but there are also rules about what kind of food to eat when eating.

The most famous was the Qin Empire, the first to completely unify Zhuxia.

Among the Qin army, even the hairstyle, the material of the clothes, and the color ...... There are strict rules for these details of life.

Lu Yuan's judgment of this person's identity is also based on this.

However, Lu Yuan's speculation may not be completely correct, because sometimes high-level generals will also wear low-level clothing. This is the so-called "Arowana suit".

Lu Yuan's judgment is only as a downline, maybe the status of the deceased will be higher.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to break through the ice and inspect this frozen body.

But after some thought, he gave up.

After bowing to the remains, Lu Yuan left the place and continued to move forward.

Soon after, he again encountered some people who had been frozen in ice.

These people are also dressed by the Ming army, but the clothes on their bodies are not as good as the person in front of them as a whole.

The armor and uniforms of these frozen soldiers were badly damaged.

Judging by these breakages, it is clear that a great war was experienced.

Traces of slashing and arrows can still be seen on some of the armor.

Visible knife wounds and gunshot wounds were visible on some of the soldiers' bodies.

"Could it really be the remnants of a Ming army that has retreated into the mountains!"

Lu Yuan took a closer look at the frozen soldiers and the items they carried.

He speculated that these soldiers should be the Western Shu Ming army that had been resisting since the Manchu Qing entered the customs.

Lu Yuan speculated that these Ming troops should have been forced to retreat into the mountains after the loss of western Sichuan.

Because of his lack of preparation, he died halfway through and was eventually frozen in ice.

Lu Yuan was in awe of these soldiers who were unwilling to accept foreign rule and insisted on resisting and sacrificing their lives.

When Lu Yuan was in school, he once saw a record that in the mountains of western Xishu, until the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were remnants of the Ming army who insisted on resisting.

At that time, Lu Yuan felt that these people were very great, and the reason why the Zhuxia civilization could last for thousands of years was because of the existence of such unyielding people.

Lu Yuan did not disturb the peaceful sleep of these soldiers, and after worshipping these soldiers with the highest three kneeling and nine bowing ceremonies in Zhuxia, he left with a heavy heart.

Continuing to move forward, Lu Yuan finally passed through this long passage.

What appeared in front of Lu Yuan was a valley of birds and flowers.

Unlike its surroundings, the temperatures in the valley are warm.

The land is also very fertile, and in Lu Yuan's view, this place is more like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.

"Looks like those soldiers I saw earlier should be planning to retreat into this valley!"

"It's not going to be inhabited!"

Lu Yuan looked around curiously, and found no traces of human activity for the time being.

Lu Yuan continued to walk forward, and at this time he found that the valley was turning a bay not far ahead.

Because of the obstruction of the mountain, Lu Yuan can't see the situation behind the mountain now.

He quickened his pace, and as he turned the bay in front of him, some buildings that had long since collapsed appeared before his eyes.

"This place was really once inhabited, is it the remnants of the Ming army?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but increase his speed again.

After a while, Lu Yuan came to the collapsed building.

From the outside, these buildings are just simple buildings. It's been a long time since the collapse.

The building has been covered with a variety of plants. It's hard to see what he was like anymore.

Lu Yuan still looked at it carefully inch by inch, and after careful inspection. He found some traces of war in these ruins.

The materials of the ruins have some traces of slashing and burning.

Some bones can still be found in some places, but the heads of these bones are missing.

In the ruins, Lu Yuan also found a small number of broken weapons and some arrowheads.

Judging by these traces, there must have been a terrible battle here.

Because the ancient army was decapitated for merit, the opponent's head was only needed at the end of the army's battle.

Lu Yuan continued to search, and at this time, he found a cellar in the ruins.

When the cellar was discovered, the exit from the cellar was crushed by a collapsed building.

Lu Yuan moved away from the building pressed against the exit, and as soon as he opened the door of the cellar, a foul smell came out.

When the smell almost dissipated, Lu Yuan entered the cellar.

As soon as he saw the situation inside the cellar, Lu Yuan felt uncomfortable......
