Chapter 43: Kaiyuan Chongwen, quiet and far-reaching

Since the first year of Shu Yanxing (263 AD) the destruction of the Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Zhan's father and son were martyred, and the Zhuge clan moved eastward here, it has been nearly 1,200 years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now in charge of the overall affairs of the Zhuge clan are the four most famous elders of the clan, among which the great elder Zhuge Kai is also the patriarch of the Zhuge clan, who is highly respected and respected by the clan, so that the ancient town of Zhuge has remained stable and peaceful for decades.

The second elder Zhuge Yuan is the brother of Zhuge Kai, and is also the master of Xia Lianyun, the archery has reached the pinnacle of the realm, and he can pull a thousand stone strong bows with one hand, it is said that he will use the family heirloom "Zhuge crossbow" method to the bow and arrow, without the help of the crossbow mechanism can be a bow and seven arrows, known as the "Seven Stars Bead".

Although Xia Lianyun's archery technique has not yet reached the realm of Zhuge Yuan, with this peerless archery technique of "Seven Stars Beads", he has already broken out of the name of "Red Bow and White Arrow, the First Divine Catch" on the rivers and lakes, and is called one of the four sons of the rivers and lakes by overwhelming countless young talents.

Xia Lianyun was not a member of the Zhuge clan, but Zhuge Yuan picked it up on the shore of Yishui, because it was summer at the time, so he named him Xia Lianyun with the surname of the season. People like Xia Lianyun are not uncommon in Zhuge Ancient Town, and the Zhuge clan will carefully cultivate them into talents and then either put them in the rivers and lakes, or send them to the temples for development, so that they can be used in the future. It is precisely this strategy that keeps the Zhuge clan away from the disputes between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, but they can be clear about what is happening.

The third elder is the ochre-clothed old man Zhuge Chong in front of Xia Lianyun, Zhuge Chong, like his brother Zhuge Kai, also inherited and developed one of Zhuge Kongming's peerless learnings - the method of array warfare, but the method of array warfare that Zhuge Chong learned was biased towards the formation and lighter than the battle, and was laid out in a formation with the help of the time and place and the surrounding environment for defensive purposes.

Zhuge Chongnai is a formation wizard, not only the ancestors handed down the "Eight Formations" fine research and development, more extensive dabbling in ancient times, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and interpretation of various formations, what is not known is that he has quietly entered the Sky Ridge, followed the nine strange formations of the Nangong family, and successfully entered the Nine Palaces Flying Star Array to participate in the study for nearly half an hour, and finally came out of the battle safely, but the Zhuge family has always been secretive and low-key, and no one in the Nangong family knows about it in the rivers and lakes.

The four elders Zhuge Wen is proficient in power and wit, and his literary brilliance is the only one among the four elders who does not know martial arts, but no one has ever dared to underestimate his status in the clan, because the most mysterious envoy in the clan, the cloud envoy and the gold envoy are all under his control, and the wind envoy has developed and grown under his planning, covering all corners of the rivers and lakes.

The Wind Listening Envoy, the Cloud Voyeur Envoy and the Flowing Gold Envoy are not three people, but three organizations of the Zhuge clan, among which the Wind Listening Envoy is responsible for spying on the intelligence and news of the rivers and lakes; The cloud peeping envoy controls every move in the court; The gold envoy is the god of wealth of the Zhuge clan, such a large town of the Zhuge clan, the daily expenses of the people in the clan, and the money and grain are all raised by the gold envoy, and many rich businessmen on the rich side have the shadow of the Zhuge clan's gold envoy behind them.

If the Great Elder Zhuge Kai is the spiritual and practical leader of the Zhuge clan and leads the prosperity and development of the Zhuge clan for decades, and the second elder Zhuge Yuan and the third elder Zhuge Chong are the powerful guards of the Zhuge clan and escort the development of the Zhuge clan, then the fourth elder Zhuge Wen is the great steward of the Zhuge clan and provides strong logistical support for the continuous development of the Zhuge clan.

Coincidentally tonight, Great Elder Zhuge Kai had just retreated and practiced to get a glimpse of the peak of martial arts, Tianyuan realm; The second elder Zhuge Yuan was entangled in a very tricky matter and couldn't get out; The fourth elder Zhuge Wen has recently been obsessed with Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and can't extricate himself, and he has been copying frantically in the past few days, so all the big and small affairs in the clan are pressed on Zhuge Chong's body.

For this reason, Zhuge Chong also specially applied the method of locking the fog in several strange formations outside the array, just to protect the ancient town, but he didn't expect to be broken by a hairy boy brought by Li Mubai to break the fog lock in the forest, he was a little annoyed and angry, and at the same time he also had a strong interest in Lu Yi.

In order to understand the doubts of the happy head and find out Lu Yi's identity, Zhuge Chong ordered the four disciples of "Tranquility Zhiyuan" to lead Lu Yi and Li Mubai out of the battle and welcome them into the city.

In order to avoid arousing Li Mubai's suspicion after meeting, and always remembering the woman he loved in the center of Luoyang City, Xia Lianyun bid farewell to Zhuge Chong and sneaked out of the city at night.

Although Xia Lianyun has Zhuge Chong, the uncle of the formation master, he still doesn't know anything about the formation, and if he wants to get out of the town, he can only go out of the Taiji Mixed Yuan Array and the Yin and Yang Polar Array after Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan lifted the ban, so Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan flew back after sending Lu Yi and Li Mubai to the front of the city, the first purpose is to restore the formation, and the second purpose is to release Xia Lianyun out of the town.

Xia Lianyun originally planned to wait for Li Mubai and Lu Yi to enter the city before sneaking out, but the idea of wanting to see the woman he loved immediately couldn't be suppressed, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, so he flew out of the city without waiting for Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi to arrive, he thought that he would not be discovered by the night, but he didn't know that he happened to be seen by Li Mubai, if it weren't for Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi, the two brothers happened to appear to disturb Li Mubai's sight, Li Mubai would have been able to determine Xia Lianyun's identity.

Xia Lianyun walked out of the forest under the leadership of Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan, and flew towards the brightly lit Luoyang City as soon as he discerned the direction, as if he had seen a warm pavilion in the Peony Pavilion of Guanfang Lane in the city lighting red candles for him.

And Lu Yi and Li Mubai entered the town under the guidance of Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi, and traveled eastward along the wide road paved with bluestone slabs, and finally came to a mansion with green trees and red walls and glazed tile corridors about a quarter of an hour later, the two stone lions in front of the door have been some years, and the red lacquered door of the mansion is also slightly mottled, but in the eyes of Lu Yi and Li Mubai, there is no sense of decadence, but it reveals endless simplicity and vicissitudes.

The door plaque above the gate is still written by Han Li, the word "Zhuge " is vigorous and powerful, and the two words at the gate of the city are no different, obviously from the same person's hand, Li Mubai is proficient in calligraphy, and can't help but praise: "Simple and simple but vigorous and powerful, with the law of Han Li, it contains the meaning of wild grass brushwork, good words!" Sure enough, it's a good word! ”

Although Zhuge Jing has the word "Jing" in his name, his personality is not at all compatible with Jing, and he doesn't know if he has been holding back in Zhuge Ancient Town for too long or how to find it, he is familiar with it, since he saw Lu Yi and Li Mubai, he has been chattering non-stop, and he has no resemblance to his brother Zhuge Ning.

At this time, when he heard Li Mubai praise the good writing of the word "Zhuge ", he came over with a smile and said, "I didn't expect Brother Li that you also know calligraphy?" It's a pity that Uncle Wen has something to do these days and is inconvenient to meet guests, otherwise the two of you can learn from each other. On the way, he heard Lu Yi call Li Mubai Big Brother, and he also climbed up the pole directly.

"Oh?" Li Mubai pretended to be puzzled and said, "Who is Uncle Wen you are talking about?" Could it be that these two words came from him? ”

"How do you know?" Zhuge Jing's face was surprised, and he was about to tell Li Mubai Zhuge Wen's identity, but Zhuge Zhi beside him quietly pulled him, walked forward half a step forward and interrupted Zhuge Jing's words, "Li Daxia, this son, the family teacher has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, please follow me into the mansion!" ”

Zhuge Jing thought that the business was not finished yet, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go first, let's talk about it first." ”

Li Mubai originally planned to learn a little about the mysterious Zhuge clan through Zhuge Jing, a self-acquaintance, but he almost succeeded but was destroyed by Zhuge Zhi, in desperation, he had to look at Lu Yi and smile, and said, "Please lead the way" and followed Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi into the mansion.

Zhuge Mansion looks simple and vicissitudes from the outside, and it is also very magnificent inside, with dozens of houses in and three out, and the five big trees in the courtyard that can't be hugged show the age of the mansion, Lu Yi quietly observed the environment in the mansion, and found that the five big trees were faintly arranged according to the five elements, and Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi were also very particular about every step, so they quietly signaled to Li Mubai, and secretly noted down the direction of each time the two of them landed.

After walking into the courtyard, Lu Yi found that there were five formations in the courtyard, one of which was still a strange array that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, this Zhuge clan was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but he didn't know what the identity of the person he was about to see was?

"Is it that the two of you broke into my Zhuge Ancient Town at night and broke the method of locking the fog in the Taiji Mixed Yuan Array?" Lu Yi and Li Mubai had their own thoughts, but they didn't notice that when they finally entered the courtyard, an old man with white hair who thought he was in ochre clothes and white hair appeared in front of the door, staring at the two of them with an angry face.

Li Mubai hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Under Li Mubai, this is the righteous brother Yu Chengmian, because he was busy and missed the stay, he took the liberty to disturb your town but begged to stay overnight, and it was not his intention to break into the formation by mistake, and I ask my seniors to forgive me." ”

The old man in ochre clothes was none other than the third elder Zhuge Chong, his pair of bright eyes swept over the faces of Li Mubai and Lu Yi, and asked lukewarmly, "You are Li Mubai?" Li Mubai, deputy hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Kyushu Juyi League? ”

Li Mubai said without humility or arrogance: "It is in the next, so it must be that the predecessor is the old acquaintance of the Lord of the Lu League?" is so good, the two Mubai brothers have a lot of trouble. ”

"How can the mountain village master enter the eyes of your Lu Great Alliance Leader?" Zhuge Chong sneered and said, "It's not impossible to stay overnight, but the old man has a few questions that you need to answer me first!" ”

(Correction: "Zhuge Jin" in Chapter 37 in the barren mountains and wild mountains and Zhuge Ancient Town should be "Zhuge Jing", Zhuge Jing is the second son of Zhuge Liang and the ancestor of the Zhuge Ancient Town on the east bank of Yishui in the suburbs of Luoyang.
