Chapter 757 Hangu Ancient Road
"Which places?"
Mr. Zhou replied: "Hangu Ancient Road, Jiming Terrace, Yin Xi's former residence ruins and Hangu Stele Forest."
These places are all extremely famous places in Hangu Pass.
The Hangu Ancient Road is simply a quiet path in the valley. Ancient books say that the Hangu Pass Road crosses Guancheng to the west. "The carriages do not separate the tracks and the horses do not bridle together." ".
Cock-crowing Terrace is where the idiom "cock-crowing, dog-robber" comes from.
King Chuang Li Zicheng led his men and horses out of Shaanxi and headed east to Hangu Pass. It was getting dark, and the men and horses were exhausted, so he ordered his men to set up camp and stay.
At that time, Li Zicheng's army was pursued by troops, so the military advisor asked Li Zicheng why he was setting off.
Li Zicheng replied, the rooster crowed, broke camp and set off.
The military advisor knew that this was not a place to camp, so he found a rooster, carried it to the mound, and imitated the rooster's crow under his breath. The rooster on the top of the mound crowed, and under the mound, all the people in the surrounding villages The roosters crowed.
Li Zicheng thought that the time had come, so he led his army and set off.
Naturally, the pursuers behind him were in vain.
The Jiming Terrace is just a small mound, nothing special about it.
The site of Yin Xi's former residence is Yin Xi's residence in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he once asked me to stay here for half a year.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were rumors that a spiritual talisman dropped from heaven to Yinxi's former residence in Hangu. Xuanzong immediately sent people to dig for it, and indeed the "spiritual talisman" was found.
Xuanzong believed that this was Laozi's gift to him, so he changed the reign name to "Tianbao".
As for Hangu Stele Forest, it is a cemetery.
Mr. Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your master asked me to ask you to pick up something when I pass by Yin Xi's former residence."
I asked: "Isn't it the magic talisman?"
Mr. Zhou nodded and replied: "It should be, but I have looked for it before, but found nothing."
I had some doubts in my heart and continued to ask: "Didn't that spiritual talisman be taken away by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Mr. Zhou looked at me deeply and replied: "That's a lie. The real talisman is still in Yin Xi's former residence, but no one has found it for thousands of years. I guess your master also wants you to try your luck." "
Since my master told me, I must go.
The funeral procession soon arrived at the Hangu Ancient Road.
A quiet path came into view. A stone tablet stood next to the ancient road, with the four characters "Hangu Ancient Road" engraved on it.
The funeral procession slowly entered it. On both sides of the pass, there were steep cliffs, numerous peaks and rocks, the terrain was dangerous, and the landscape was forbidding.
I didn't understand why Hangu Pass was a battleground for military strategists before, but today I saw that the terrain is really steep.
The night was as dark as ink, and only the pale moonlight could bring some light.
I can only hear the footsteps of Mr. Zhou and me in my ears.
As we walked, the atmosphere around us became a little depressing.
I frowned, vaguely thinking that something bad had happened.
At this moment, Xiang Yi, who was leading the way in front of the funeral procession, arrived in front of him.
"Liu Su, we are in trouble."
My heart tightened and I asked, "What's the trouble?"
"Just come with me."
I quickly followed Xiang Yi to the front of the team.
Xiang Yi pointed straight ahead and said, "See for yourself."
I looked in the direction he pointed.
It didn't matter. I was shocked.
I saw countless figures appearing directly in front of us. Through the moonlight, I could clearly see the appearance of those figures.
It was an eerie human skeleton. After a rough calculation, there should be more than thirty.
These human bones stood in place in an extremely weird posture, with arrows stuck in their bodies.
