Chapter Thirty-Eight: Formation Qimen, Night Exploration of the Forest

Lu Yi's master Wu Hanjiang is not only famous among the four great masters of martial arts, but also a famous Qimen Dunjia master in the rivers and lakes, and it is rumored that the "Sword God" Lu Jiuzhou went to the Sky Ridge alone, entered the Tibetan Sword Villa, and obtained the Chengying Sword among the "Ten Famous Swords" in the collection of the Nangong family.

"Hanjiang Lonely Shadow" Wu Hanjiang is known as the "Sword Saint", "Kyushu Smoke and Rain" Lu Jiuzhou is known as the "Sword God", the two became close friends after three days of swords on the top of Huashan, and later Lu Jiuzhou was killed by traitors, and was attacked and killed by the seven masters of the rivers and lakes in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass.

Although Lu Yi's roots and talents are not superb, but he is diligent in hard training, tenacious will, and excellent understanding, under the personal training of Wu Hanjiang, the swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has also become fascinated by the study of the formation.

I don't know what the reason is, except for occasionally mentioning the Zhuge Eight Array Diagram, Wu Hanjiang never said any information about the Eight Array Diagram to Lu Yi, let alone told him the method of breaking the formation.

Although Lu Yi didn't know much about the Eight Formations, he deeply remembered what his master Wu Hanjiang once said to him: "Since Pangu opened the world, the formation has been born, after thousands of years of development, all kinds of formations emerge in an endless stream and are unpredictable, but as the so-called changes are inseparable, the changes in the formation are no exception, whether it is the ancient formation, or the creation of today's people, all follow the principle of Fuxi Zhouyi." ”

Thinking of Master's words, Lu Yi was suddenly full of curiosity about Zhuge Ancient Town behind the mountain beam, and there was an impulse of excitement in his heart, eager to beat horses like flying and get a glimpse of the magic of this ancient formation in the late Han Dynasty.

So Lu Yi hurriedly walked side by side with Li Mubai, and said with some expectation: "Brother Li, since we have arrived here, how about going to this Zhuge Ancient Town tonight to find out?" ”

The reason why Li Mubai said so much to Lu Yi was precisely to induce Lu Yi to go to Zhuge Ancient Town with him, although he usually looked like he was going to get drunk, but because of the collapse of the Kyushu Juyi League, he had always been obsessed with the events of the year, and he knew that it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to enter the ancient town with his ability, but if Lu Yi was accompanied by a formation master, it would be another matter.

At this time, Li Mubai saw Lu Yi's eagerness to try, and his heart suddenly felt a little funny, so he deliberately pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "No, Xiaoyi, I thought about it carefully just now and still think that what you said before makes sense, this is not safe in the middle of the night, and after so many years, I don't know if Zhuge Ancient Town still exists, in order for us not to sleep on the mountain tonight, for the sake of safety, we should return the same way, rest for the night in the village we passed before, and get up early tomorrow to hurry." ”

Lu Yi was anxious when he heard this, and when he saw Li Mubai turning his horse's head, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed his horse's reins and said, "Don't, Brother Li, we are already here, and it's too late to rush back now." Besides, don't you believe in my level? Don't say it's just a Zhuge Eight Array Diagram, even the Eight Formations of the Art of War Diagram after the Ancient Strange Wind Gust is just a piece of cake for me, don't forget whose apprentice I am! ”

Zhuge Eight Formations and Fenghou Eight Formations of the Art of War and Fuxi Bagua have quite similarities, but the composition and changes of the two formations are very different, Lu Yi has not even seen the Zhuge Eight Formations and the Eight Formations of the Wind and the Eight Formations of the Wind and the Eight Formations of the Art of War, and he boasted about this Haikou just to convince Li Mubai of him.

Li Mubai heard the earth-shattering sound of Lu Yi's cowhide, and his heart was angry and funny, so he deliberately frowned and said: "Xiaoyi, it is precisely because I know that you are the son of the alliance leader and the disciple of the Sword Saint, and you are responsible for leading away the killers of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Wangjianglou, so I don't dare to let you take this risk, otherwise, if there is really something wrong with Zhuge Ancient Town, then how can I explain to the alliance leader and Wu Daxia?" ”

When Lu Yi heard Li Mubai say this, his eyes rolled and he had an idea, and said to Li Mubai: "Brother Li, it is precisely because I Lu Yi is the son of the Sword God, the disciple of the Sword Saint, and I shoulder a heavy responsibility, so I can't retreat when I face difficulties, dangers and setbacks, and haven't you always wanted to enter this Zhuge Ancient Town to see what is going on?" Could it be that with the strength of you and me, you can't cope with a few broken stones? ”

Li Mubai was originally pretending, but when he heard Lu Yi say this, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, then let's go to this Zhuge Ancient Town and see what is strange in it!" ”

Lu Yi suddenly smiled, eager to hug Li Mubai and kiss the two, the horsewhip sounded in mid-air and galloped, speeding towards the dark mountain beam not far ahead, it seemed that the equestrian skills seemed to be a little masterful, Li Mubai was not to be outdone, and followed closely with a soft drink of "driving" in his mouth.

These two horses were bought by Li Mubai from the horse market at a great price, although they were not as good as the sweaty red rabbit, but it was more than enough to run the night road and go up the mountain beam, and after a while, they ran to the top of the ridge.

The sky had already darkened, and he could barely see his fingers, if it weren't for Li Mubai's white shirt, Lu Yi wouldn't even be able to see where he was, and the two of them looked down the mountain together, only to see that it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything at all, but a gust of whistling cold wind whined in the ears of the two, like the howl of a hungry wolf.

Lu Yi looked left and right for a while, and finally deflated: "Brother Li, are you remembering the wrong place?" This hellish place is not to mention a town, and I don't think the hunters in the mountains will come...... Hey, you see, what's that? Lu Yi suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sparkling lights that suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked with a shocked face.

Li Mubai had already discovered a few ghostly lights that suddenly appeared in front of him, and what was even more strange was that these lights seemed to be floating in mid-air, and they were actually fluttering towards this side, which was quite terrifying in this cloudy and howling night.

"Brother Li...... This...... What the hell is going on? I don't know if it's chills or fear, Lu Yi's voice trembled a little.

After these lights got a little closer and Li Mubai saw their shapes clearly, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to Lu Yi angrily: "That's Kong Ming lantern, seeing what you're fussing, I was almost scared." ”

"Kong Ming lantern?" Lu Yi asked curiously, "What is Kong Ming Lantern?" How can you fly? Look, look, they're coming this way again. ”

Li Mubai had to explain patiently: "Kong Ming lantern, according to legend, was made by Zhuge Kongming, when Zhuge Kongming went out of Qishan and the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, he was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang City, and he could not send troops out of the city for help. Zhuge Liang resourcefully made a lantern that could float in the air, and tied a message for help under the lantern, and released it according to the direction of the wind, and the grease in the lamp burned out and happened to fall in the camp of the Shu army. ”

Lu Yi suddenly realized: "No wonder these lanterns keep flying this way, the dare is not controlled by someone, but blown by the wind!" That's amazing, isn't it? Hey, by the way, is this really the place where Zhuge Liang's descendants live? ”

Li Mubai said: "Now you believe what Brother Li said, right?" Seeing no, the place where the lanterns just flew up, it must be where Zhuge Ancient Town is located, and now there must be people in the village, so we will go down the mountain and go over. ”

Lu Yi suddenly reined in the horse's reins and said: "Brother Li, I heard your description before, the people in the ancient town obviously have a deep hostility towards outsiders, otherwise they wouldn't have laid so many formations outside the town, I think we should hide the horses in the mountains first and sneak in!" ”

When Li Mubai heard Lu Yi say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoyi, I've thought of all this detail, it's not bad, just do as you say." ”

So the two of them found a small col to tie up the horses, and then performed light skills and swept directly in the direction of the Kong Ming lantern, and soon arrived at the west of the ancient town.

Lu Yi saw that there was a forest in front of him that he couldn't name, and there was a thick mist faintly emitting from the darkness, and the Kong Ming lantern that could be seen on the ridge just now couldn't be seen after getting closer, so he knew that there must be something strange in this forest, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Li Mubai, who was about to step into the forest, and whispered: "Brother Li, don't be busy going in first, there is something wrong with this forest." ”

Li Mubai listened to Lu Yi's cautiousness, and hurriedly stopped and asked, "What?" What do you see? ”

Lu Yi shook his head and said: "It's too dark now, and this forest is too big, so I haven't found anything for the time being, but you see that this forest is full of fog, and there is no smoke outside the forest, someone must have placed some kind of prohibition in this forest, or used the method of locking the fog." ”

Li Mubai fixed his eyes and saw that this thick fog seemed to follow some kind of law, just fluttering in the forest, not exceeding half a point of the thunder pond, so he asked Lu Yi: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Lu Yi said unhurriedly: "I have already observed just now, this forest should be the outermost prohibition of the ancient town, but it seems that the people under this layer of prohibition are not malicious, and this thick fog is not poisonous, it should only be set up to prevent flying insects and beasts and people who strayed into this place." ”

Lu Yi said this, suddenly looked up at the few Kong Ming lanterns that were gradually flying away, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and the corners of his mouth gently raised to Li Mubai and said, "Brother Li, you are very skillful, can you help me get a Kong Ming lantern down?" ”
