Chapter 7: Entering Yangguan in the East, there is no old friend(1/2)
It's dawn.
Yang Hao didn't sleep well all night and had no appetite.
It's probably more than ten lives.
Although he had been building his mind all night, he killed it himself.
He beat the stupid donkey a few times with anger when he got up.
The stupid donkey would rather continue to blow the cold wind on the top of the mountain than leave.
Could it be that I was frightened by the lightning at the foot of the mountain yesterday?
He and the thin donkey stared at each other, but they didn't see the stupid donkey's eyes scared.
He took out a monocular.
The morning light shines at the foot of the mountain.
Under the orange sunshine, he saw something unusual in the valley.
It was a watermelon-sized thing, floating in the air, translucent. He saw several of them.
If it weren't for the color of sunlight, he might not have discovered it.
Without the bolt from yesterday, he probably had to wonder what that was.
Now I have some speculations in my mind.
That may be the source of yesterday's thunderstorm. He had seen spherical lightning. That time it was also in a valley... spherical lightning is very rare, there are so many here.
It's indeed dangerous!
It seems that there are still abnormal charges in the valley.
No wonder the stupid donkey refused to leave.
never mind.
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about hunger and cold here, and he will leave when he can.
He walked down the cliff and looked down.
The sun had not yet shone at the fire last night. But he could see the traces after the fire.
A piece of rock was burned to the point of darkness.
In broad daylight, he could see clearly what the canyon was like with his naked eyes.
This cliff may be three or four hundred meters below the valley.
Those people listened to the language last night, and they should be from Central Plains.
Why do they have to climb a cliff in the middle of the night?
Moreover, how did they climb down a vertical cliff from the valley to less than fifty meters below?
That's unscientific!
Could it be that they started climbing from the hillside.
If so, wouldn’t it mean that there is a road on the hillside below?
Yang Hao hesitated for a while.
I don't know when the charge in the valley will return to normal.
If it takes a year or two, would he also have to blow the cold wind on the top of the mountain for a year or two?
Therefore, he felt that he should go down and see if there was a safe road. If there was a road to go, he could also find a way to go out.
Rope, he really has it.
And they are all very strong marine cables.
The hook is easier to deal with... Should the anchor be stronger than the hook.
After tied up the anchor, I found two large stones on the top of the mountain - large stones that could jamm the anchor in the middle.
The anchor is scribing behind the stone, and the rope passes through the middle of the two stones.
The rope is very heavy.
What he took out was only 150 meters long, and tied one end to his waist.
Without climbing tools, he can only guarantee that he will not fall into the valley.
He was a little clumsy when climbing the mountain.
However, this body can follow Hongyi Old Road and travel around the country, and it goes without saying that the physical condition is.
Otherwise, he would have died of illness if he was not killed by the bandits on the road.
Although this body does not have martial arts skills, it is barely possible to climb a mountain.
He gradually coordinated his body, and his movements of climbing down became more and more steady and more flexible.
Finally got to the fire scene last night.
The stone was a little slippery, after all, it fell hundreds of kilograms of lamp oil...
In this protrusion, nothing was found except a piece of blackened horseshoe gold.
Yang Hao looked at the three or four pounds of horse hoof gold and felt a little tooth pain.
There is seal script on it, and he knows: it was built in the thirteenth year of the First Emperor.
No, the gold miner, it turns out he was a tomb robber!
This gold was clearly from the Qin Dynasty.
So……
Is there a large tomb of the Qin Dynasty below?
There is clearly a river valley under the valley. If you find a large tomb below, who has to climb the mountain in the middle of the night?
Could that big tomb be on the cliff?
He looked up and then down.
The final decision is to look for it.
If the rope is completely released and you haven't found it, then just pretend that you haven't come down.
…………
Yangguan is particularly favored by the sunset in the northern desert.
The sunset dyed a brilliant layer of gold on it.
After dark, Yangguan will close.
There is more than one pass city in Yangguan. To the north, there is a Great Wall connected to the Great Wall at Guyumen Pass. There are many quicksands on the south side and they are not accessible.
If the city gate is closed, the people who come and go can only stay overnight inside or outside the pass.
The Yangguan City Gate Guard will check the caravans in and out. If there is no abnormality in the inspection, it will be released.
The sunset has turned golden and orange again. It is about to get dark, so they can also close the city gate and take a good rest.
But I didn't want to come in a hurry while walking on the afterglow of the sunset.
Death... the sound of hooves is approaching.
The city gate guards finally saw clearly that a donkey was riding on a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's head and face were dusty, but it was still obvious that he was a young man.
"Comeone comes down to the donkey!" The guard shouted.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The donkey stopped yelling.
The Taoist priest turned over and walked a few steps forward with the donkey.
The team was carefully looking at the weird-shaped Taoist priest and donkey.
It is right for the Taoist priest to wear Taoist robe, but the cloth wrapped around his head and the donkey's butt looked like gauze no matter how you look.
The team leader asked in the third consecutive time: "Who are you? Where did you come from? Is it relevant?"
Yangguan is built at one end of a Great Wall.
The Great Wall here is not very high. But for caravans with livestock or cavalrymen with Hu people, Yangguan City is just a man who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
There are not many city walls in the south, but the quicksand stretches to Longle Mountain. It is difficult to walk on the mountain, and the mountains to Guancheng are full of quicksand, so I dare not walk on it.
In this way, Yangguan is a very important pass on the western border of the Tang Dynasty.
In order to resist the nomadic peoples in the west, the imperial court deployed five thousand troops near Yangguan.
If you want to enter the heartland of the Central Plains, Yangguan is the "must-make way" to enter and exit the Western Regions. Whether it is a personnel or a caravan, if you want to enter and exit the customs, you must make a reservation.
