A moment later, they climbed the long stone steps that led up to the main village. On both sides of the stone steps, lit grease torches are lined up, illuminating the stone steps. This situation also highlights the grandeur and majesty of this stone staircase, as if the place leading to it is the inner courtyard of the palace. I don't know if it's only done today, or if it's all about lighting these grease torches. If you want to come to a barren place like Funiu Mountain, there is not so much oil for them to squander.

Walking up the stone steps, Lin Jue counted the stone steps boringly, and after arriving at the platform in front of the towering walled gate like the Nantian Gate above, Lin Jue counted to nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. This proves that this is deliberate. Nine is the extreme of numbers, representing the meaning of infinity. This is by no means arbitrary, but a kind of moral that Zuo Zongdao expects.

Seeing so many strange things in this cottage, Lin Jue suddenly felt a hint of ridiculousness from feeling surprised and solemn. If this Zuo Zongdao is not ambitious, he is a paranoid madman. In the middle of this poor mountain, it is really boring to come up with so many ritual symbols.

"Lord Ruan Zhai, according to the rules of the cottage, when you enter the main village, outsiders are not allowed to wear blades. You and your men have unslashed your blades. Qian Leopard turned around and said.

Everyone could only untie their swords one after another and hand them over to the mountain bandits around them for safekeeping, except for Ruan Ping, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, they actually only brought ten brothers. Now all thirteen of them are bare-handed. Qian Leopard did not order someone to search the daggers and other objects they were carrying, which was actually unnecessary. There are 500 elite men stationed in the main village who specialize in guarding Zuo Zongdao, in fact, even if these dozen or so people come in with swords, they can't make any tricks. Removing the blade is just a matter of routine.

"Brother Zhao, open the door!" Qian Leopard raised his head and shouted.

Someone poked his head out above the tall gate and said with a smile: "The master of the three villages, is it Bao Meng's person?" ”

Qian Leopard said: "Yes." The blades have been removed, and they are ready to be released. ”

"Okay, good, the master of Sanzhai is hard. Come on, open the door. The man above shouted.

A dull rattling sounded, and the gate slowly opened. Dozens of bandits divided into two teams to push open the gate, although the gate was made of wood, but it was half a foot thick, strong and heavy. As soon as the door opened, I saw two arrow towers behind the door, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods guarding both sides of the gate. Sure enough, as Lin Jue expected, there was an arrow tower near the left side of the walled gate to defend. The two arrow towers are not visible at the angle below, because they are oblique upwards, and the two arrow towers are blocked by the flying eaves on both sides of the walled gate, so they cannot be seen visually.

And when I walked into the walled gate and looked at the walled walls on both sides, the figures on the walled wall that could not be seen from below were finally seen clearly. Behind the stone wall were rows of wide walkways. Apparently it was a springboard for people to walk around and stand up. The most effective way to increase the width of the wall for defense is to build a walkway behind the stone wall with wooden planks that people can stand on. Of course, in Lin Jue's view, this is the defeat of Jin Yuqi, this Zuo Zongdao master is obviously still powerless, and he has not had time to build a large and wide wall, so he can only use this kind of wall to deal with it temporarily.

However, walking on the flat ground of the main village, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel the ingenuity of the location of the main village. It's obviously a whole stone mountain beam. Because the ground is all stony, and there is not the slightest gap. This is not to pave the ground with bluestone, but to dig stones directly into the ground to form a flat ground. In other words, the whole ground is actually a huge rock. It was just cut to the ground, forming such a large area of the main village.

The area of the main village is much smaller than the sub-village below, and the radius is only seven or eight hundred steps. On both sides were still rows of houses, presumably military camps. The terrain leading to the north in the middle is a little narrower, about three or four hundred paces, and further north is the outline of a huge black mountain. Beneath the huge black mountain, where the lights were brilliant, the style of the houses was completely different. It is no longer an ordinary boxy stone house, but a pavilion and courtyard that reflect the colorful reflection of the lights. This is a cottage, it is simply a castle in the air on the mountainside, which is beautiful and makes people smack.

Walking through the middle open space monitored by the arrow towers, when Lin Jue was in the middle of the pavilion, he almost thought that he was back in the city of Hangzhou. The style of the courtyard of the house is simply a garden house, a garden of a small bridge and flowing water, and there is still a cottage.

"!" Lin Jue burst into foul language.

"I. Exercise! Ruan Ping also burst into foul language. The people around him were even more like fools, looking at everything in front of them with their mouths open. Even Gao Muqing saw the appearance of the main village for the first time, and she only stayed in the deputy village at the beginning, and was not invited to enter the main village.

Qian Leopard smiled triumphantly: "How?" Let's get by with this cottage. That one is our righteous hall, like a palace? On the left is the residence of me, the owner of the second village, and more than a dozen leaders of the cottage. On the right is the place to do things. As for the residence of the lord of the village......"

Qian Bao seemed to realize that he had talked too much, so he suddenly stopped, and only pointed to a stone fence on the right: "Go this way, that side is the hall for business, no need to go to the Juyi Hall." ”

Everyone silently followed the chested and belly-folded Qian Leopard to the east side, and after a while, they came to a courtyard outside. Standing outside the courtyard gate, you can hear the noise of chaos and the sound of rough laughter. The noise was grossly out of proportion to the environment.

The guard in front of the door saw Qian Bao bowing and saluting, and Qian Bao led everyone into the courtyard, only to see the figures in a brightly lit hall swaying, and the laughter and rough noise came from inside.

"The master of Sanzhai has arrived!" The guard shouted loudly.

The laughter in the hall stopped, and a rough voice said loudly: "Third child, why did you come?" Are the people from Beishan Dazhai here? Why are these people so rubbing, it's a cold day, I'll go back to the house to drill the hot quilt when I'm done early. ”

Qian Leopard stepped in and said with a smile: "Second brother, are you in such a hurry to drill the bed?" Isn't the new girl under the mountain very energetic? Your eyes have darkened a lot these days, so be careful of your exhaustion. ”

"Phew! What's the matter, I, Dong Kui, can't fall with a golden gun! The gruff voice said loudly.

Listening to this naked and indecent speech, Gao Muqing's face turned angry and his brows furrowed. Lin Jue reached out to hold her hand and squeezed it to express comfort.

"Don't talk about it, let me introduce to you, this is Brother Ruan, the fourth master of Beishan Dazhai, this one is Brother Fang, the deputy of the owner of Ruan Village, and the rest are followers. Ruan Zhai Lord, this one is Dong Kui, the second master of my Shiren Mountain, this is Ma Biao, the fourth village master, this is Su Yangmu, the fifth village master, this is ......"

Qian Bao introduced them one by one, Ruan Ping, Lin Jue and others bowed their hands in groups, but their eyes roamed the hall. They didn't hear Qian Bao's name introduce Zuo Zongdao, nor did they see anyone who looked like Zuo Zongdao, the master of Dazhai. More than a dozen people in the hall were introduced, and Zuo Zongdao was not present.

"You can be regarded as here, hurry up, do what needs to be done, and set up a banquet for you in a while." Dong Kui, the owner of Erzhai, said loudly.

Ruan Ping smiled: "Why didn't you see the master of Zuo Dazhai?" ”

Dong Kui said: "Oh, the master of Dazhai said, at this time, I and the third child and the rest of the brothers. Just do it. Isn't it just an agreement? Knock down the wild goose valley, those gang called Hanako, right? The owner of Dazhai said, no problem, everything is done according to the previous agreement. Make a covenant, you agree to give us Laojun Mountain, and we will send troops to help you. Someone, what about the master? Don't come to polish the ink and write the contract, hurry up. ”

Ruan Ping hurriedly said: "No, if the lord of Guizhai Dazhai doesn't come, how can this covenant be signed?" ”

Dong Kui was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Lord Ruanzhai, what are you talking about?" Do you look down on our brothers? Don't like our brother and can't be the master? Why didn't Bao Meng from Beishan Dazhai come? I sent you to sign the contract, but you want my big village master to come forward, is this disrespectful to my big village master? ”

"No, no, no, no, there is no such intention. It's just ......," Ruan Ping frowned.

Lin Jue said loudly: "Lord Ruanzhai, sign it." These village owners are here, that's enough. ”

Ruan Ping looked at Lin Jue suspiciously, Lin Jue smiled and said: "After signing the contract, I will go to see the master of Dazhai again, and it is okay to listen to the teachings, don't we have a letter from the master of Bao Dazhai to hand over to the master of Zuo Dazhai?" ”

Ruan Ping nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, sign, sign." It's the same with a few masters. ”

"It's pretty much the same, grinding and chirping, now you are begging us, but we are not begging you. You Beishan Dazhai are all wretched, and it's a fucking shame to be beaten by those people called Huazi. Dong Kui scolded. The crowd burst into laughter.

Ruan Ping's face turned red and he was furious. It was Qian Leopard, who got some benefits, and at this moment he spoke out and said: "Second brother, don't say these words, people come from all over the world, this is also a matter of concern to the owner of the village, and it is important to do the right thing." ”

Dong Kui didn't say much when he heard this, indeed, the owner of the village still attaches importance to this matter, and the owner of the village is very happy that the land of Laojun Mountain officially belongs to the village, so this matter can not be sloppy, otherwise the owner of the village will be very unhappy.

Everyone sat down, according to the content of the covenant agreed by the leaders of the two sides before, wrote it on the spot one by one, and the master read it to both sides one by one, and after both sides had no objection, Ruan Ping and Dong Kui signed and drew on behalf of both parties, and exchanged covenants with each other. After that, each person drank a bowl of wine, and the covenant was made. The whole process took only half an hour. Because for both sides, it's just a formality.

"Okay, the business is done, the third child, please take the distinguished guests of Beishan Dazhai to drink, the owner of Dazhai has explained, and you want to be entertained with delicious food and drink." I won't be with you, I'll go back to sleep, hahaha. Dong Kui laughed and stood up.

Qian Bao smiled: "Second brother, take it easy, isn't there no tomorrow today, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Dong Kui chirped: "Phew, it's unlucky, what is there today and tomorrow, as if I am going to die tonight." I just don't want to drink. That girl doesn't like my drunken mouth, I'm new, and I always have to put up with it. When she was tired of playing, she was chattering crookedly with me, and Lao Tzu kicked her down the mountain. Hahaha. ”
