Four hundred years ago.

June twenty-three, summer solstice, cloudy.

A mighty dart team walked between the mountains and mountains, the dart flag was waving in the wind, and the four vigorous characters "I Wu Weiyang" were written on it, and a sound of "Hewu" accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums penetrated the sky, and the birds and birds flew out in a hurry.

Lu Xiuwu straddled a white-fronted and black-maned pony and walked in the middle of the line. When it was nearly halfway through the valley, the big guy who led the reed in front of him suddenly changed his tone, dragged the word "He" for a long note, made three turns, and sang a "Phoenix Three Nods" came out, Lu Xiu knew that there was a "vicious tiger blocking the way", and with a wave of his hand, the entire dart team stopped in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, a big guy shouted from afar: "Hewu, the wild goose is scattered, Hewu, Hewu, I*1." "This is the spring ceremony (code language) used by the old people (friends in the rivers and lakes), which means that there are villains ahead. Lu Xiuwu then kicked the horse's belly, lined up everyone, and came to the front.

I saw that the mouth of the valley, which can accommodate two cars wide, was blocked with a large stone that was not round or square, which just blocked the road to death. Lu Xiuwu is also a person, since he dares to shout this provocative "mighty dart" is to use his Taiyuan Lu Jiayang prestige dart bureau name to suppress these heroes in the mountains and rivers and lakes, so he did not get off the horse when he saw this, just straightened his waist, sat on the horse and arched his hand and said: "The hard work of the family, in the lower Taiyuan Yang Wei Lu Xiuwu, passing through the precious land, please also ask the master and friends to dodge, don't stop each other." ”

Lu Xiuwu's words are called "picking up the brand", the general dart master encounters the green forest heroes will inevitably have a spring festival exchanges, and explore each other's details, but the name of the Lu family in Taiyuan is a well-known golden signboard on the rivers and lakes, and there are few green forest heroes who do not give face, so they directly put the sign at this time, that is, they want to ask the other party to get out of the way quickly.

Who knew that if he continued to say this, there was no echo in the valley opposite. Lu Xiuwu raised his eyebrows with a straight sword, and while quietly making a look at Hu Ming, the deputy dart head, he urged the horse to take two steps forward and said: "Listen to the truth, I am a friend on the road, you are a brother in the green forest, you are in the forest, I am outside the forest, they are all family." I don't see you in front of the mountain, I call you a friend today is righteous, if you are going to make trouble here, don't blame the brothers for opening the door to welcome guests, and lose the number of rudeness*2!"

These words are much heavier than what they said just now, which means that if you are willing to get out of the way, you will be a friend now, otherwise you will be polite. Speaking of this, it is to prepare to start fighting, because Hu Ming has already ordered the "wheel to pan", let his brothers gather the dart car, and the guy plans to do it. All of a sudden, the dart masters of the Yangwei Dart Bureau scattered out in formation, knives were knives, guns were guns lit up, and their mouths shouted in unison: "Hewu, Hehe!" echoes sounded in the valley, how majestic.

A gust of mountain wind swept through the valley mouth, I don't know where it came from, a gravel-like thing couldn't bear the wind, "gurgling" rolled down, all the way across the ditch and more cracks, fell to the bottom, just on the block boulder bounced, and finally fell to the bottom, "bang" sound, followed by a large cloud of white smoke!

"There is an ambush!" Lu Xiuwu immediately retreated, but in an instant, the surroundings were filled with a billowing white mist. Lu Xiuwu heard Hu Ming and the big guy Hu Quan shouting loudly behind him to shrink the formation, optimistic about the goods, and soon there were screams and whistles, one long and one short, two pauses, followed by three long sounds, which were pointing out the gap in Lu Xiuwu's retreat. Lu Xiuwu□□ pony is a good horse in the prime of life, and he has been born and died with him before, so he is not easy to be frightened, and it is strange to say, but at this time it is restless and keeps digging the ground with its front hooves, and there is a faint tendency to refuse to obey orders.

Lu Xiuwu had to get off the horse and touch it back. The fog obscures the view, and the sense of direction and distance is missing, while at the same time magnifying many other things. Lu Xiuwu heard a very strange sound faintly coming from the fog not far away, like the "whirring" sound of a beast's breath. He pulled out his sword with a "choking" and carefully searched as he retreated.

There was a tense breathing all around them, and all the dart masters were on guard against the unknown enemy at this moment. Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the valley, and the mist was suddenly split in two, and a narrow path was "broken" from the middle. Lu Xiuwu turned around and found that he had deviated a little from the large army, and it was because of this that he had the closest contact with that thing.

"Mom, what is that!" I don't know who howled half frightened and half panicked, and on the mountain rock not far in front of Lu Xiuwu, there was a "monster" parked. The "monster" was at least a foot long, it was on all fours, its neck was covered with flame-colored mane, its body was covered with scales and armor, and it stared at a pair of bright golden copper bells, and it was looking down on this group of mortals majestically.

Lu Xiuwu was the closest to that thing, and it was also the most dangerous, Hu Ming was so anxious that he shouted behind him: "Don't cover the withdrawal of the young master!" The two dart masters woke up like a dream, and wanted to step forward to rob someone, but they saw that the thing suddenly lowered its body, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards Lu Xiuwu with sparks splashed all over his body, but when he heard the sound of "dang", it was the sound of Lu Xiuwu's sword and the monster's claws colliding, and he didn't expect that the soles of the monster's feet were so hard, like a golden stone.

"Woo whoa!" someone behind him exclaimed, and the monster actually jumped past Lu Xiuwu and jumped straight into the crowd. Rao is the old men of the dart bureau couldn't help but mess up at this time, the dart masters waved the guy to drive the monster away, but although the monster was large, the movement was very light, I saw it in the crowd left and right, and it quickly broke into the circle surrounded by the dart car.

"Bodyguard, fast bodyguard!" Lu Xiuwu saw the name, and hurriedly shouted loudly, and he jumped up with him, slashing at the monster with a sword, and the battle was in one place in an instant.

Lu Xiuwu became famous in a battle at the age of fourteen, and his skills are really strong, but that monster is by no means comparable to ordinary beasts, and his fingers and claws are sharp and powerful, and he seems to be human, Lu Xiuwu fought with him for a while and gradually fell behind, and he was trampled under his feet without paying attention. Seeing that the monster was about to smash Lu Xiuwu's skull with one claw, a crisp whistle suddenly sounded in the wind, and the monster's bulky claws hung in the air to a stop, it glanced at Lu Xiuwu at a very close range, and then suddenly jumped backwards, in a very strange posture, lightly climbed upside down along the cliff wall, and arrived at the top of the cliff in a short time.

I don't know who exclaimed: "There is someone on the top of the cliff!"

Lu Xiuwu was lying on the ground, still frightened, but he saw that on the cliff, among the clouds and mist, there was a faint image of a woman dressed in white and holding a net bottle of poplar branches, that is......

"Master Cihang*3! It's Master Cihang!" One person exclaimed, followed by everyone "plopping" and kneeling, and bowed down to worship this Taoist supreme golden fairy girl. I saw that the ethereal golden fairy figure leisurely reached out and stroked the top of the monster's head (I think it was the golden lion roar of Cihang's mount), and then she raised her hand and pointed downward, accompanied by another light wind, the mist dissipated, and the Jurchen and the lion's roar suddenly disappeared.

There are still some people among the dart masters who knelt on the ground and kept bowing, chanting words in their mouths, praying for forgiveness for their daily sins, only Lu Xiuwu's face has changed greatly. He got up and glanced back at Hu Ming, only to see that he was also full of surprise. Lu Xiuwu secretly made a downward gesture, and said loudly: "What are you stunned, cheer me up quickly, the dart team is closed, count the wounded and everything, Da Hei and Mazi are exploring the way ahead, the third and fifth guys are on guard, and Hu Quan will bring the fire gun to me." ”

At this time, it was the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and since Chengzu learned the magic machine gun method and placed the god machine battalion, firearms have become an indispensable and important armament weapon for the Ming army. Although the people are rare to find this artifact, with the status of the dart bureau and the relationship between the palace and the palace, there are two bird's head guns that were eliminated early, and this dart is really crucial. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the monster and the Jurchen just now was shocking, but for Lu Xiuwu, what really frightened him was only because of her last finger. It was such a thing that I didn't know where it came from, and I didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost, actually stood on a high cliff in the distance, and clearly pointed out the location of the treasure who was really escorted in all the dart cars of this whole dart!
