The stone cave tunnel was endless, so Jiang Wen's mind was still churning with what he had just witnessed.

The Bingyi stone statues in the cave are primitive and simple, and the stalactites outside the body are like lumps of condensed dead white fat. They are sticky and dripping down from all over the body of the stone statues, covering what is supposed to be the majestic Yellow River water god.

It completely transformed into an evil-looking fish-man monster hiding in the cave.

Jiang Wen just glanced at it and couldn't get rid of this distorted picture from his mind. He couldn't guess why the Qin people, who were always known for their majestic and realistic artistic style, wasted their manpower to carve this terrifying stone statue. But

What the Qin people did may not be easy to guess.

As Ying Laodao said, Qin Shihuang, who sent out an army to attack back then, had the ambition to encompass the whole world. As soon as the war in the Central Plains was over, he ordered the Qin Dynasty's 500,000-strong army to be divided under the command of Wei Tu Sui.

The east and west roads are heading south in mighty ways.

The east road took Jiangxi to attack the Minyue area, and the west road took Hunan to attack the Guangxi area. Their central branch crossed Jiuyi, went down to Huangxi, and followed the Beijiang River to Panyu. When the three armies went out, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the land was like a cloud of armored horses.

Boats and boats on the water followed one after another, flags were everywhere, and there were many spears and swords. They swept in overwhelmingly. The formation they formed made the South Vietnamese who had never experienced such a war feel frightened.

Whenever the complicated and confusing history is placed in front of Jiang Wen's eyes, he will be attracted by its remote and mysterious appearance. He longs to think about how the Qin people who also set foot on this land fought and killed in the wild and terrifying Lingnan land.

Blood and fire have plowed this soil that has never been dug over and over again.

"Senior Ying, are the bronze figures everywhere outside also made by Qin people?"

Jiang Wen followed and wandered through the long and winding caves, and suddenly thought of those bronze statues that were still barbaric and crude in shape, but full of imaginative tension. Since the other party called them "Tongshan slangs", they should also know the details.

Bar.

Although Ying Laodao was short and lame, his legs were very strong and he did not show any difficulty in navigating the deep, twisting, smooth and narrow stone tunnel.

"Master Jiang, those bronze figures were not made by the Qin people, but by the people who were imprisoned in the caves and worked day and night without stopping."

Ying Laodao sighed quietly and continued to explain to Jiang Wen, "Due to the ferocity of the South Vietnamese, the Qin army became increasingly disadvantaged in combat, and was even besieged in Panyu City and unable to move. Fortunately, the troops from the west route broke through the Guangxi fortress and captured a large number of slaves.

Half of them were left to work day and night in Beiliu Tongshan, while the other half was thrown into this dark underwater prison to build ships. They could not take this step until they died..."

The cruel words echoed in the stone cave, and behind the great achievements were always bloody claw marks and bitter tears, which was shocking.

Tu Sui was a standard general of the Qin State. He had no appeasement or appeasement in his eyes, only the ambition to swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. At that time, the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, and anyone who dared to challenge it would die. Therefore, even if the reserve force given to him by the First Emperor was only "

A dead man, a son-in-law, a native of Jia." Even if the Qin army in the Southern Expedition was issued a rusty bronze gun with the inscription "Fourteen Years" written on it that had been used for more than 20 years, even if the Qin army suffered from the sweltering heat,

Tortured by salty tides, typhoons, snakes, scorpions, mountain leeches, dysentery and various miasmas, he was still the tough and hardy old Qin man who would sacrifice everything for victory, even giving up the last bit of mercy in front of innocent people.

He had good intentions until he led a building boat to pursue the Yue people and was killed by the poisonous arrows of the Yue people's commander Jie Jun.

Jiang Wen understood what Ying Laodao meant by "Li people" - the so-called "Li people" were the ancestors of "Tong people". They were members of the Baiyue nation just like the Yue people, except that the Yue people Living by the water, going in and out by boat, the Li people followed the caves and nested on the cliffs. Although this tribe has long since disappeared in history, they are the ancestors of the Zhuang people in later generations.

Legend has it that after the Qin army fought hard, they finally secured most of Lingnan and eliminated the organized resistance of the Yue people. The remaining Yue people who refused to surrender retreated into the high mountains of Guangxi and became the later Tong tribe (Zhuang tribe). "Cong Zai of Western Guangdong" and "Tian Xia Jun Guo Li Bing Shu" both classify the Tong people as "ancient Yue people". However, some people say that the Yao people are the aboriginal people of Guangxi. He moved from Hubei to Guangxi during the Zhizheng period, but Ying Laodao obviously did his own research and did not agree with this statement at this time.

The Qin army coming from the north to control Panyu needed "men with big boats". Only in this way could they swim down the Beijiang River and defeat the dozens or hundreds of South Vietnamese boats that were besieging Panyu. However, the Qin army marched south. They had to cross the lofty mountains at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong to reach Beijiang. It was impossible for them to carry the building boats over the mountains and ridges. The only way was to build their own building boats after reaching Beijiang and reverse the unfavorable situation of the water war.

The fact that Tu Sui was able to build so many large ships in such a short period of time not only shows that the Qin army has very high shipbuilding technology and productivity, but also proves the important role of the countless Dong cave slipways and the countless Dong people who perished underground. Slang people are real.

"Master Jiang, do you know that after Tu Sui's death, the cave slipway was gradually abandoned and hidden. These scumbags survived until Zhao Tuo became emperor, and they were discovered in this cave slipway."

Ying Laodao talked about the appalling historical relics of Qing Dynasty, and walked forward slowly, "The people on the slipway have been eating fish and shrimp raw for decades, and thirsty for salt water. There are only dozens of spines on the body left, and the skin is scaly. The whites of their eyes are like those of a dead fish that cannot see. They have only survived for decades by carving copper dolls with their bare hands and worshiping Bingyi day and night, but they have all turned into things that cannot be considered human beings."

"After Zhao Tuo heard about it, he hurriedly ordered his brother Zhao Guang, who was granted the title of King Cangwu, to go to Beiliu Tongshi Ridge to visit the group of slang people who were placed by Tu Sui in mining in the mountains. The slips Zhao Guang sent back were quite unclear. It was immediately destroyed by Zhao Tuo. Rumors persisted until the end of the Song Dynasty. Some people also said that in the deep mountain mines in Tongshiling, there were spirits who came out at night, with scales and horns, and touched the wall with their heads. They hammered and hammered day and night, and they formed "Sui, leap up in the mountains"..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The story is gradually finished, but the echo in your heart never stops.

If it is true that Dong and Yue have the same origin, then this war a thousand years ago was on this land, sprinkled with the blood of Qin people, the blood of Yue people, the blood of civilians, the blood of soldiers, and even the blood of South Vietnamese leaders and The blood of the Qin army commander bought Zhao Tuo the years of caring for the people after he entered Guangdong. It seems that the flowers of civilization in Lingnan were watered with blood, but today's Guangzhou Prefecture has already been stained with the blood of the past ten years. It can be seen that the years of warmth and joy are still as fragile as a bubble that bursts when blown.

Long sighs sounded leisurely, and the originally mighty team fell apart intentionally or unintentionally. Now only Jiang Wen and Ying Laodao were left walking together. The rest of the people were suddenly missing, which made Jiang Wen sincerely feel strange.

"Senior Ying, what's your purpose in taking me this way? Why don't we follow the others out of the belly of the stone statue?"

Ying Laodao said in a deep voice for a moment: "The road in the belly leads to the north of Panyu, directly to Pangu Cave in Huashan Mountain. There it rains and clears day and night, and is protected by haze. The scene from the beginning of time seems to still exist. According to ancient legends, there are immortal caves and houses. As long as

If you hide there, you will be safe even if you are attacked by a large army."

"I knew that the secret passage in Luo Mansion was not that simple. At first we were under the City God's Temple, and just now we were outside the South China Sea. The secret passage can also go to Huashan Mountain in the north of the city, a hundred miles away..."

Jiang Wen's expression was astonished, and then he revealed a hint of realization, "No! I'm afraid it's not the people inside who are moving at this time, but this road buried deep underground and dark, right?!"

This explanation is horrifying but reasonable. The cave slipway can be abandoned by the butcher, but so many Dong slaves always need someone to supervise and deliver food, and shipbuilding materials also need special personnel to transport them. It is impossible for one butcher to kill the whole village.

We have to eat pigs with hair on them, so we have collective amnesia and can’t find the way to the slipway, right?

Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the road to and from the cave slipway is not fixed, but will change at will!

It disappeared from the entrance due to some unknown incident after Tu Sui's death. After that, it appeared occasionally but was kept secretly. Until now, it was in the hands of Luo Yuantong. For many years, even Shang Kexi coveted it and could not get it.

Imagine again, how terrifying a passage like this is for a Guangzhou overlord. If he cannot completely control it in his own hands, it is just like someone sleeping soundly beside the bed. He may not be able to react one day if he dies or the city is destroyed.

Ying Laodao showed an inexplicable expression, but had no intention of refuting Jiang Wen's conjecture. He just kept his head buried and walked forward.

When Jiang Wen saw Ying Laodao's mysterious expression, his alarm went off. He quickly grabbed Ying Laodao and asked, "How many roads are there? Could it be that there are more than just these two?!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Ying Laodao could only say in embarrassment: "Master Jiang, with your intelligence and talent, I can't hide it from you. But I brought you here with me precisely because you are needed here most, and there will naturally be someone for other matters."

I can handle it, and I hope, Master Jiang, you can help me."

Jiang Wen Leng sneered and said: "It doesn't matter which way I go, but it's hard to say where the others will go. You can just let them run around?"

"It's okay to tell you at this time. Miss Luo and his entourage followed Mr. Wu to the ancient temple on the coast of the South China Sea. The heroes went to Zhilan Lake on the side of Elephant Hill, and the martial arts people involved escaped from Huashan.

This is all a planned strategy."

Jiang Wen's footsteps became slower and slower, and Ying Laodao slowly stopped and wiped the sweat stained from the wrinkles on his forehead. His appearance was old and haggard, but his eyes were extremely hale and hearty. At this time, he actually showed a sensitivity that did not match his age.

He seemed to want to persuade Jiang Wen to put down his worries, but instead he told stories from ancient books.

"Master Jiang, you should have heard the story in "Huainanzi Tianwenxun", 'In the past, Gonggong fought with Zhuanxu to be emperor. In anger, he touched the mountains of Buzhou. The pillars of heaven were broken, the earth was flat, and the sky tilted to the northwest.

, so the sun, moon and stars move away; the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, so the water and dust return to nowhere.'"

Jiang Wen nodded calmly: "Of course I know this allusion."

Ying Laodao continued: "Between the sky and the earth, the sky tilts to the northwest and the earth sinks to the southeast. Therefore, no matter how twists and turns the rivers flow into the sea, they will all end up in one place. No matter how many rivers flow across the vast land and chaos is frequent, as long as you wait for the dust to settle, it will be

They will eventually end up in one place, this is the 'cross current' plan devised by Lao Cao."

"Senior Ying, I have long guessed that you are hiding something from me, but I didn't expect that this matter is really related to you."

Jiang Wen's expression became colder and colder, as if he had seen through the true meaning of Ying Laodao's words, "The dust will return to its own place," "Since you talked about the great changes in the world, you should also know the story of "Huainanzi·Lan Mingxun", right?" Nuwa Refined the Five Colors

The sky is mended with stones, the four poles are established by cutting off the turtles, the black dragon is killed to help Jizhou, and the ashes of reeds are accumulated to stop the flowing water. The sky is mended, and the four poles are upright; the flowing water dries up, and Jizhou is peaceful; the cunning insects are dead, and the people of Zhuan are prosperous.'"

Jiang Wen continued, "I only know that if the end of the sky is already depleted, someone should stand up and cut off the Ao and refine the stone to mend the sky. Otherwise, if the heaven and the earth are not regular, the people will not be able to live. Who will see the majestic loyalty left empty? The heart of the sky is not enough.

People's hearts make up for it, this is Jiang's intention when he steps into Guangzhou city."

Jiang Wen knew at this time that Ying Laodao was well aware of the weakness and weakness of people's hearts, so he made a plan to divert all forces and disperse people with different ideas to avoid mutual interference, so as to achieve the overall effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Luo Yuantong and Wu Liuqi intended to destroy Shang Kexi's plan, so they went to the ancient temple in Nanhai to suppress the ghosts; the martial arts people planned to assassinate Shang Kexi, so they attacked from the east and started again from the north; but the most confusing thing is Ying Wumou's journey.

There is no strategic intention or important role, but why do you still drag Jiang Wen to act together when you know that Jiang Wen's force is beyond the limit?

Ying Laodao, who was snatched away by Jiang Wen for a while, did not become angry. Instead, he said to Jiang Wen with some relief: "I didn't expect that Master Jiang is so knowledgeable and well-informed. He is so old and blind."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ying Laodao has a good temper and is very wise. He seemed very pleased with Jiang Wen's inferences just now. He did not directly respond to Jiang Wen's doubts, but instead talked about it again

There is an ancient book record.

"Master Jiang, you just mentioned that Nuwa beheaded Ao Ao at the four poles of Adachi. The old man will tell you again. This divine Ao carries the Tiantai Mountain on its back and floats in the sea. Regardless of the age, because Nu Wa beheaded Ao's feet

When I stood on the four poles, I saw that there was no immortal mountain, so I moved to the shore of Langya."

The mythological records were suddenly connected together, and a window opened in front of Jiang Wen's eyes, gradually making him aware of the unknown secrets.

"At that time, Ge Hong, the little heavenly master, recorded in "Encountering the Gods in Ji Zhong Sangu Pavilion" that there was a mountain called Tiantai outside the East China Sea. There was a ladder to the sky and a platform to ascend to the immortals. The feathered people lived there. Nuwa moved away after cutting off her feet.

On the shore of Langya. On the Houhe River, my father-in-law climbed a mountain to realize the Tao, taught his disciples to become immortals, and the immortal way began to spread."

Ying Laodao's foresight was clearly visible at this moment, he stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"At this time, since there are already people who are refining stones to cut off the turtles, and there are people who are going to kill the dragons to quell the floods, the two of us must rush to the rooftop first, take away the ladder to the sky, and put an end to his thoughts."

Jiang Wenxin thought, so it turned out that their plan was so grand, with the intention of suppressing the dragon ghosts and assassinating himself along the way, and Ying Wumu's purpose was to destroy Shang Kexi's desire to seek immortality, so that King Pingnan's

Many plans fell through together!

"You are taking too many risks! Although the advantage of dividing your troops into three groups is that you can focus on one side to succeed and don't have to worry about the impact of defeat in other areas, but if the other side seizes the flaw and divides the troops to defeat you, then you will fall into an irreversible situation.

.”

Jiang Wen said slowly and immediately pointed out the biggest flaw in the plan.

But Ying Wumou replied calmly: "I always resort to dangerous tactics. If you don't take risks, there is no reason to win. Besides, even if we join forces, how can we ensure that so many people work together?

What about colluding in something big?"

What Ying Laodao said makes sense. This is what Jiang Wen was thinking when he saw the whole plan for the first time - he only felt that the other party was talking nonsense, and that he had gathered so much power but it was like loose sand.

There is no hope of victory at all.

"Senior, where does this road lead to?"

Walking in the gloomy stone cave, Jiang Wen felt dazed and hesitant for a moment. When he lost his reference, the whole world seemed to turn into chaos, and he was walking between the twists and turns of the water waves. The ups and downs of each step were all illusions.

Every turn and corner is filled with nothingness. Only the road in front of me is extending and paving itself. With the connection between time, space and stars, I don’t know where it will lead.

Suddenly at a certain point in time, the darkness in front of me suddenly began to flicker, like a morning star blooming from the stone cave. The chaotic colors were like being inside a centrifuge. In an instant, it was thrown into the invisible distance. Two streaks.
