Near the tiankeng.
Instead, the great scholar Ji Bu slowly told some rumors about the tiankeng.
"The origin of this tiankeng should be traced back to more than three hundred years ago, when the Wan Yao Nation invaded Dagan."
Lin Che had long known that this world was full of demons and monsters, but he had never encountered any because he lived in Dagan and even in Tiandu City, where there was a Confucian sage in charge.
“Could this tiankeng be left behind by the Ten Thousand Demons Nation?” Lin Che asked.
Ji Bu's face was full of vicissitudes, which were the traces of time. He was stunned for a while before saying:
"I also heard about it when I was a kid. At that time, the Wan Yao Kingdom was very powerful, and they had many different races. They attacked all the way to the gates of Tiandu City, and Da Gan was almost destroyed."
"At that time, a powerful Legalist discovered a huge rift valley during a night raid on the Myriad Demons Nation's army. Beneath the rift valley was a bottomless cemetery. This must have been dug by them."
"You must be wondering why the Ten Thousand Demons Nation came here to dig a cenote? To be honest, we still don't have a definitive answer. But it's definitely not a good thing."
"After so many years, there have been many rumors. Some say that the Ten Thousand Demons Nation came for a treasure. Others say they want to destroy Da Gan's luck. Some even say that there is actually a legendary dragon underground."
Lin Che frowned and asked doubtfully, "After all these years, you still haven't figured it out?"
"No……"
Ji Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Let me tell you an unwritten rule. Over the years, no matter who sits on the throne, there will always be a large and a small reinforcement of troops. This will never change."
"The big place is the Great Wall of Fortune. They give you almost anything you ask for. And the small place is where this tiankeng is. Every year the Ministry of War sends teams here to dig and explore."
"Even our Confucian Academy sends students here every ten years to display their righteous spirit and dispel the poisonous fog."
Lin Che raised his eyebrows. "Poisonous fog? There's poisonous fog in the tiankeng?"
"You don't know yet? I thought you knew it a long time ago when you came here to recruit soldiers. Most of the soldiers here are poisoned." This time it was Ji Bu's turn to be surprised.
Logically speaking, since they have come here to recruit soldiers, how could they not understand?
Lin Che muttered to himself.
Was he tricked by General Wen Hong? Why did he have to come to this place?
How can we deal with the poisoned soldiers?
Lin Che subconsciously glanced at Yao Wenkuiye and found that he was looking at her with a faint smile.
It seems that what Yao Wenkui just said about "not daring to recruit" refers to this.
But as Lu Xun said: Since we are here, it is not easy, so we must meet each other.
The team finally arrived at the tiankeng.
At first glance, you can see a huge rift valley.
Viewed from this height, it looks like a giant dragon, or as if the earth was split in half by a sword from a god in the sky. It is extremely spectacular.
Zhong Su and Zhang Ding, who were standing next to him, were also filled with heroic spirit when they saw this scene and were about to start reciting poems.
Lin Che was in no mood for this now, so he simply asked Yu Huadian to go to the front and negotiate with the guards.
He, the Marquis of Guanjun, came with the emperor's imperial decree. He wanted to recruit palace soldiers, and he could withdraw them as long as the other party was willing.
When the guards learned that it was His Majesty's order, they naturally did not dare to stop it, but their faces were full of disdain.
Several guards chatted unscrupulously:
"Marquis Guanjun? Is this the son of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"That's right. As expected, no one in the court wants to be an official. Look at that Duke's son. He looks a generation younger than us, but he's already become a marquis. Isn't he going to become a prince in the future?"
"This pretty boy is just a show-off. I can cripple him with one punch. In Tiandu City, how many young masters are the real deal?"
"Don't talk nonsense. They're coming over here. Don't let anyone hear them. Do you believe they'll kill you?"
"Haha, why should I be afraid of him? I wasn't afraid even when I faced 30,000 strong enemies. Where else can they transfer me? Is there any place worse than this?"
Although Lin Che was two or three hundred meters away from the guards, he could still hear everything clearly with his current hearing ability.
It seems that the soldiers here are all very stubborn and fearless.
That's very appropriate.
If I let them work with me on their own in the future and don't go back to work for the big guys, they won't be so blindly loyal.
They are all good quality!
Lin Che gently shook the reins and walked directly to the garrison gate of the tiankeng, looking down at the guards from above.
"You just said that you could cripple me with one punch. Is that right?"
The guards' faces changed drastically. They never thought that Lin Che had heard what they had just said.
Although they are not afraid of this young master from Tiandu City if a real fight breaks out, if they are targeted by him, he will really make things difficult for them.
"This, this... no."
"No, no." Several guards looked at each other, not daring to admit it.
Lin Che sneered, "General Wen Hong told me to come here to recruit soldiers. He said you are all capable people."
"But now it seems that each of you is a waste and a coward. Do you dare to say it but not admit it?"
"If you don't have this ability, just shut up from now on!"
These words were extremely harsh, especially since they came from the image of an uneducated playboy.
Several guards couldn't help themselves on the spot.
One of the burly guards took a sudden step forward, and all his energy exploded.
"How dare you scold us!!"
