Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 199 The Great Wall
Two days later, Yang Lin left Xingyun Mountain with Zhao Lin, Zhong Yewu, Xiang Bao and Li Liang and headed northwest of Yanzhou.

In order to facilitate the journey, he specially borrowed five horses from the Zongmen.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, and after two days of driving, he came to the foot of a rolling mountain.

"Did the head of the hospital bring us to practice cultivation?"

"It's not quite the same, we practice different exercises."

"Cultivation practice may not necessarily be related to the five elements, maybe it is to appreciate the famous mountains and rivers, to broaden one's mind..."

Several disciples discussed privately, but Yang Lin pretended not to hear, and never revealed the purpose of the trip.

A group of five people took a rest at the inn at the foot of the mountain, stored the horses, and then walked up the mountain on foot.

It was golden autumn, and the upper forests on the mountain were all dyed, and all the sights were beautiful.

"This mountain is called Yueguan Mountain, and this place is called Beiyuling. The mountains are continuous and the location is dangerous. It is the main road that guards the north of Dayue."

Yang Lin talked eloquently, with some emotion in his tone, "After passing this mountain, it is no longer the boundary of our Da Viet."

Zhao Lin and the others looked at each other, and they were even more certain that they were here for good fortune and cultivation, so they looked around as they walked.

But Yueguan Mountain is not majestic, not even comparable to Xingyun Mountain where the Zongmen is located, but it is more winding and long.

After climbing to the top of the mountain and walking for a while, Zhao Lin suddenly saw some broken walls on the ridge not far away, and more than a dozen dusty city walls stood upright.

Zhao Lin thought his eyes were blurred, so he rubbed them vigorously, but the city wall in front of him became clearer.

I couldn't help but suffocate, feeling that something in my body was awakened, and blurted out: "The Great Wall!"

Yang Lin looked back at Zhao Lin and said in surprise, "Zhao Lin, do you know its name?"

Zhao Lin took a deep breath and explained: "The disciples see that although these walls are dilapidated, they should be connected as one, like a long city wall. I just named it casually, and I don't know if it is right?"

Yang Lin smiled, "It just so happened that you were right! This is the side wall built by our countries in the Central Plains more than 2000 years ago to resist foreign invasion."

Xiang Bao suddenly asked: "Did the head of the courtyard bring the parents and children of the inner courtyard here at the beginning of the year? I heard my elder brother mention it, but I didn't take it to heart at the time, but now I think about it."

Yang Lin nodded, "Yes, I brought them here."

Li Liang asked suspiciously: "Court Chief, this city wall is so short, what can stop it? Even if martial arts were not popular at that time, those foreign races could climb over the wall and enter, right?"

Yang Lin shook his head, "It's not that easy, the wall is not high, people can turn it over, but what about horses?"

"Those alien races are good at riding and archery, and they come and go like the wind. If there is no horse, it is like a tiger without claws and claws, and it can't make any waves."

Li Liang was at a loss for words for a moment, but immediately thought of another question: "Will they not dig the Great Wall?"

"Yes, it is not difficult to destroy a wall."

"Building such a long city wall, I'm afraid it will waste people's money, right?"

Xiang Bao and Zhong Yewu also echoed.

Yang Lin laughed, "It's not easy to dig this wall. Now it seems dilapidated, and it will fall if you push it, but don't forget, it was built more than 2000 years ago. It can be preserved to this day, which shows how strong it was then."

As they talked and walked, they came to a city wall and found that the wall was extremely solid, and it was as thick as ten feet.

Li Liang and the others stopped talking. Such a thick city wall cannot be easily cut open.

Yang Lin reached out and patted the wall twice, and then said: "The Great Wall is made of rammed earth mixed with coarse sand, red mud, and large rocks. If you want to dig it open, you have to use a ram or a city cart. OK."

"Those alien races came to grab property, will they bring these bulky guys?"

"Taking a step back, even if they bring it, it will take time to break through the Great Wall, right? The Beacon Tower can warn the people in time to evacuate the people and the army will come."

Xiang Bao and others gasped when they heard this.

Yang Lin gradually put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Not only that, even if these alien races get by by chance, burn, kill and loot, guess how they go back?"

"Escape from another place? There is no time to dig the Great Wall again. If we return along the original road, then the obvious opening, our Central Plains army will not ambush in advance?"

"Besides the Great Wall is a city wall, it is also convenient and straight. The army does not need to deploy defenses everywhere like before. As long as they walk along the Great Wall, they can quickly gather."

"You guys, it's too simple to think about our ancestors!"

Zhao Lin didn't speak all the time, only felt that time traveled back to his previous life, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself for a long time.

Traveling to this strange world, he has always felt a sense of alienation, and there is always a voice reminding him that he is in another world.

Fortunately, the cultural customs of this world are similar to those of his previous life, which makes him feel very close, but the gap always exists.

But at this moment when he saw the Great Wall, he couldn't help feeling ups and downs, tears in his eyes.

The Great Wall is not only a great wall, but also a spiritual symbol of perseverance, wisdom and courage of the Chinese nation.

It is a totem engraved in the bones of every Chinese person and integrated into the blood.

Qin Shiming Moon and Han Shiguan, Wanli Long March people have not returned.But so that the Dragon City Feijiang will be there, he will not teach Huma Du Yinshan.

Whenever the Chinese nation is in a critical moment, the majestic Great Wall can always gather the strength of all people. This is the case in the thousands of years of history!

Isn't that how the national anthem is sung?

The mountain wind is bitter, and the robes are bulging.

Zhao Lin raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Yang Lin suddenly looked over and said with a smile, "Zhao Lin, why don't you speak?"

Zhao Lin was silent for a while, then said: "Chairman, now that martial arts are on the rise, without large armies confronting each other, the Great Wall is useless, right?"

"That's right, that's not right."

Yang Lin's eyes flickered, and his expression was serious, "Although the Great Wall can no longer help us guard the frontier, its achievements in history are indelible!"

"It can stand for thousands of years, isn't it just to inspire our generation of warriors to build an invisible Great Wall for the land of the Central Plains and for the common people?"

"More than 40 years ago, no one in Dai Viet entered the top eight for three consecutive years. In addition to sending property to foreigners, it also reached the point of cede land for compensation!"

"At that time, someone in the court said that the frontier land was sparsely populated, so it would be fine to just cut off a piece of land, and you could pay less money. But this old man disagrees. I can't lose an inch of land in the Central Plains!"

"Fortunately, at the time of crisis, many talents emerged from the three major sects of the Central Plains at the same time, so that the country could not be lost."

Yang Lin said, pointing to the distance, "Look, these great rivers and mountains are all inheritances left by our ancestors, how can they be handed over to others?"

"This old man has participated in three martial arts competitions, and only made some modest efforts. Now that I am old, it will be up to you in the future!"

Speaking of this, he laughed, "I have said a lot of great principles, but in fact, even if it is not for the sake of Dayue or the sect, but for your own sake, you have to practice hard, right?"

Only then did Zhao Lin, Xiang Bao and the others understand the purpose of Yang Lin bringing them here. They exchanged glances, and they all saw the ambition in each other's eyes.
