After Lu Yi and the Lei brothers and sisters separated, as soon as the morning market in Luoyang City opened, they bought two horses to travel, and decided to go to the southeast and go to Jinling together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Mubai is crazy by nature, often alone on the rivers and lakes to live happily, the Ming Dynasty scenic spots and historic sites such as a number of treasures, and Lu Yi and Lu Yi so together, it is still early from the third day of the first month of September, so he made up his mind to travel the mountains and rivers while rushing to Jinling.

On this day, the two of them swam through the Longmen Grottoes and crossed the Yishui River, and then they believed in the reins and went all the way to the east, until it was getting late, and the two realized that they had turned into an unknown path from the official road at some point, and there was darkness in front of them, and they could not even see the shadow of the lights.

Lu Yi saw that he was going to experience the days of eating and sleeping in the open tonight, and suddenly felt a little anxious, thinking that he seemed to have passed a small mountain village on the way here, so he hurriedly reined in the horse's reins and said to Li Mubai: "Brother Li, I think let's not go forward, if we go down again, we will probably sleep in a cave tonight." ”

Li Mubai didn't care at all, he came to Lu Yi's side with his legs lightly clamping the horse's belly, pointed to the dark mountains in the distance and smiled: "What? Are you still afraid that there will be ghosts? Tonight, I will take you to enjoy the night view of the barren mountains, otherwise when you really walk the rivers and lakes, you will not even have the experience of sleeping on the mountains, and you must not be laughed at by friends on the rivers and lakes? ”

Lu Yi hurriedly defended: "Zi Bu is silent, strange and confused, what kind of ghost is there in this world?" I just wonder if there was a village on the way when we came, and it was better to stay there than to sleep on a cold day, right? ”

Li Mubai waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Xiaoyi, what you said is not right, first of all, if we return to the village we pass by, and people don't take us in, then my reputation as 'drunk and crazy' will be lost; ”

Lu Yi had never heard of such a crooked reasoning, but he was quite self-aware, knowing that even if there were ten more of them, he would not be able to say Li Mubai's mouth, so although he was unwilling and unwilling, he could only follow Li Mubai step by step.

Li Mubai saw Lu Yi's reluctance, suddenly smiled, raised the whip and shook it on Lu Yi's horse's buttocks, the horse was frightened, and immediately raised its head and neighed, galloping forward with its hooves, until Lu Yi, who had only learned to ride a horse not long ago, screamed again and again, and dragged the reins of the horse and did not dare to let go.

Li Mubai's riding skills are exquisite, his legs clamped the horse's belly and quickly chased after him, seeing Lu Yi's frightened face, he couldn't help laughing, and after the horse's galloping speed slowed down, he reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse and said to Lu Yi: "Don't worry, Xiaoyi, who is your big brother Mubai, how can you let you, the son of the dignified Kyushu Juyi Alliance Leader, stay on the mountain overnight?" See, if I'm not mistaken, there is a town over this mountain beam, when the time comes, we will find an inn to live in, although it is not as good as the Grand Hyatt Inn in Luoyang City, but it is better than staying in a small village, right? ”

When Lu Yi heard Li Mubai mention his father, his heart suddenly gloomy, thinking of the troubled road ahead to avenge his parents, and the master often admonished him to "endure hardships and become a master", he felt a lot relieved in his heart, nodded to Li Mubai and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, what if you sleep in the barren mountains?" If I, Lu Yi, can't even overcome such a small difficulty, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my father and master? ”

Li Mubai hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said: "This is a good thing, it is quite the style of the alliance leader back then, I think the day when Kyushu gathers righteousness, returns to the heart of the four seas, and reopens the sect alliance is not far away!" ”

Li Mubai became famous as a young man, with the jade sword in his hand and the Taibai drunken sword in his hand, he didn't know how many swordsmanship masters he had defeated, he was arrogant and pretentious, but he only admired the "sword god" Lu Jiuzhou.

When Lu Jiuzhou was assassinated and the Kyushu Juyi League collapsed, Li Mubai was the most sad and sad group of people, so he was even more addicted to alcohol, used alcohol to anesthetize his nerves, and was unwilling to accept this cruel fact.

Seeing that the old people who were crisscrossing the rivers and lakes together and smiling proudly or retreated to the mountains and forests, or changed their paths, Li Mubai's heart had all kinds of tastes but no one told him, by chance he met Lu Yi, the youngest son of the alliance leader and now with extraordinary martial arts, and finally let him see the hope of reopening the Kyushu Juyi League, how could he be unhappy?

It's just that among the seven people who participated in the assassination of Lu Jiuzhou that year, except for three who died on the spot, the culprit Wan Yanlie is still at large, and he is in charge of Jinyi Wei and is even more powerful than back then, and the other three have not even been able to find out their true identities, if Lu Yi's identity is rashly made public, it will be too dangerous.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Mubai put down the things at hand and specially took Lu Yi to walk the rivers and lakes, increase his experience and knowledge, so that he could grow up quickly, and thus grow step by step into a character like the "Sword God" Lu Jiuzhou.

After all, Lu Yi is only less than sixteen years old, and he has no concept of climbing high and raising his arms, gathering people, and reopening the Kyushu Juyi League, in his impression, this kind of thing should be done by a hero like the master, what he has to do now is to help the master and Yu Xin lead away the pursuers, and at the same time find his father's Chengying Sword, and find the murderer of his parents to take revenge after the swordsmanship is completed.

Hearing Li Mubai's praise, Lu Yi smiled a little shyly, pointed to the mountain beam in front of him and said, "Brother Li, I think how can there be a town in this wilderness?" At this time, he was no longer afraid, but curious.

Li Mubai smiled mysteriously and asked Lu Yi rhetorically, "What?" Lingshi 'Sword Saint' Wu Daxia is a master of Qimen Dunjia, didn't he mention Zhuge Ancient Town to you? ”

"Zhuge Ancient Town?" Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Could it be Zhuge Ancient Town, where Zhuge Liang piled up a formation of rocks and trapped the 100,000 elite soldiers of Lu Xun, a famous general of Eastern Wu?" But shouldn't it be in the Sichuan Shu Fengjie, how can it appear in Luoyang? ”

"Sword Saint" Wu Hanjiang is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, Lu Yi often listens to him evaluate the world's formations, and especially admires the "Eight Formations Art of War Map" created by Zhuge Liang back then, but when he was parting that day, Master Wu Hanjiang only introduced to Lu Yi the "Nine Palace Flying Star Array" of the Nangong family's nine arrays, but he didn't mention anything about the eight arrays, which made Lu Yi puzzled for a long time.

Li Mubai nodded and said: "You are right, the place where Zhuge Kongming besieged Lu Xun with a chaotic stone henge is indeed in Fengjie, but the ancient town of Zhuge in front of it is different from Fengjie, because he is not a town built by Zhuge Kongming, and the descendants of the Zhuge family fled here and lived in seclusion after the fall of the Shu Kingdom. ”

In the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan and the first year of Shu Yanxing, in November, Wei generals Zhonghui and Deng Aiqi attacked the pass and besieged Chengdu, Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan and grandson Zhuge Shang died in battle, and his heirs Zhuge Qiao, Sun Zhuge Pan, and great-grandson Zhuge Xian moved to Hedong, Sun Zhuge avoided disaster in the southern barbarians, only the second son Zhuge Jing was missing, but since then the Zhuge family has no descendants in Sichuan and Shu, and no one knows the news of Zhuge Jing.

Until more than 600 years later, the Wu Zhou (Tang) Dynasty, Wu Zetian moved the capital east to Luoyang, known as the divine capital, the scale of Luoyang City continued to expand, the capital garrison in the inspection of the capital left near, by chance to see this ancient town, but when they decided to go in to find out, it was like falling into a maze, from the cause to the dark did not come out, one by one finally exhausted and fainted.

When the nearly 100 officers and soldiers woke up the next morning, they found that they were already in Longmen on the bank of Yishui, and that they were digging the Longmen Grottoes at that time.

Wu Zetian was originally quite superstitious about ghosts and gods, and after hearing the news, he sent thousands of elite soldiers to this barren mountain to look for it, but when they found the place where they fainted according to the description of the previous officers and soldiers, they found that there were wild grasses, not to mention the ancient towns and villages, even the flying insects and beasts did not see a single one.

Wu Zetian specially found Taichang Temple Qing to divide a number of hexagrams, and finally came to the answer of offending the mountain god because of the excavation of Yique Longmen, so he hurriedly ordered the craftsmen to stop work, and it was from that time that the heat of digging caves in Yique Longmen finally stopped, and there was no large-scale action to dig grottoes in later generations.

From the middle and late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Liao, Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, there have been constant wars and wars for hundreds of years, and the imperial court no longer has time to take care of the strange legends that happened here.

After Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, but at that time, the political and economic center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty had moved eastward, and Luoyang City because of its unique geographical location, just under the iron hooves of the Mongolian tribes, the importance of the Ming Dynasty was not as strong, and it gradually declined.

It was not until the Yingzong Dynasty that Yu Qian, the far-sighted secretary of the military department, ordered the "sword god" Lu Jiuzhou to sit in Luoyang, recruit heroes from all over the world, form the Kyushu Juyi League, reject the Mongolian tribes in the north, choke the throat of the Western Regions in the west, and deter Wusizang and Sichuan Shu in the south, the importance of Luoyang City was highlighted again.

It was also at that time that a chance made Li Mubai discover the secret of Zhuge Ancient Town, the reason why Wu Zetian failed to find this ancient town hundreds of years ago was because the descendants of the Zhuge family living in the ancient town found that the officers and soldiers appeared, and had a premonition that there would be a disaster, so they activated the organs in the ancient town late that night, and set up an ancient strange array around the ancient town, hiding the ancient town, so as to avoid the search all over the mountains.

Li Mubai's swordsmanship had been completed at that time, but for Qimen Dunjia, he could only say that he knew a little about fur, and the brother who was proficient in organ news and Qimen Dunjia in the alliance happened to be absent, and he couldn't crack the formation outside the ancient town after thinking and meditating for more than three days, let alone entering the ancient town.

Later, when Li Mubai was looking for a good helper and was about to explore Zhuge Ancient Town again, there was a sudden change in the Kyushu Juyi League, and this plan was put on hold, but it was precisely because he was not in the alliance that day that he escaped the catastrophe and avoided the disaster of killing.
