With the lesson of Fang Cai, Lu Yi and Li Mubai became more and more cautious, vigilantly following the formation breaking method of the Tai Chi Mixed Yuan Array and the Yin and Yang Liangyi Array, each of them raised their light skills to the extreme, and in an instant, they ran out more than ten meters away, without touching a single grass or tree in the forest.

Lu Yi was exploring the way ahead, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the place where Kong Ming's lantern was flying, he suddenly stopped, stared at a birch tree in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Li Mubai was not far from Lu Yi, and he came to him in a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong Xiaoyi?" Did you make any new discoveries? ”

Lu Yi frowned and nodded, staring at the birch tree in front of him.

Li Mubai looked at Lu Yi's gaze, and was suddenly startled, only to see that there was a brand-new sword mark on the trunk of the birch tree in front of him, but what was it carved by Lu Yi himself between entering the formation?

"What the hell is going on?" Li Mubai couldn't help but ask. Let him be strong in martial arts, but he can't even see the shadow of his opponent in this dangerous situation and killing every step of the way, not to mention how aggrieved he is.

Lu Yi looked up at the sky, but found that the night sky where the fog had cleared was still as black as ink, the moon had hidden its traces somewhere, that is, there were not a few stars, and the Kong Ming lantern that had been flying in the sky before to identify the direction had also disappeared.

Lu Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know what's going on, could it be that we just spared a circle in the forest and returned to the same place?" At this moment, he suddenly doubted his own ability, and an illusion kept appearing in his mind, as if there was an invisible hand controlling his every move, trying to break free with all his might, but he didn't know where this hand was.

Li Mubai's gaze swept over the surrounding grass and trees, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "No, there is something wrong with this sword mark." ”

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What's the problem?" ”

Li Mubai still stood in place, pulled out his jade sword and pointed at the sword marks on the birch tree and said, "I remember that the mark you left was drawn from the top left to the bottom right, but when you look at it, the sword mark is drawn from the top right to the bottom left. ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Yi struggled to recall the mark carved before entering the formation, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that there are other people in this forest who deliberately use this method to confuse us?" He couldn't help but blame himself for being confused when he saw the sword marks, but he didn't even notice such an obvious flaw.

Li Mubai nodded with a suspicious expression and said, "It is very possible, and judging from the current situation, the other party's familiarity with this forest is far better than ours." ”

"Brother Li, do you think the other party is from the ancient town?" Lu Yi suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but blurt out a question.

"The world is most familiar with this forest, except for the people in the ancient town, I'm afraid there is no one else, right?" Li Mubai said, "In that case, we might as well call the big array directly." ”

Li Mubai was just a joke, but he suddenly woke up Lu Yi, he suddenly stroked his palm and laughed: "Yes, Brother Li, why didn't I think of it?" Since we have already exposed our whereabouts and it is useless to hide them, we can simply break in directly, I don't believe that Zhuge Kongming's descendants are even stingy with one room and two hot kangs? ”

Lu Yi said that he would do it, and at the moment, he didn't care if there were traps and ambushes in front of him, he stepped over directly, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Chang'an Li Mubai and Qiantang Yu Chengmian missed the stay because they were busy on the road, and they strayed into your place, but if you ask for a night, you will be thanked." ”

Lu Yi shouted loudly It doesn't matter, the birds in the forest didn't wake up a few, but Li Mubai was startled, he hurriedly crossed the sword in his chest for fear that suddenly a hidden weapon would fly out from all directions for a while, fortunately, the two were lucky, Lu Yi didn't step on any mechanism when he stepped down.

Li Mubai came to Lu Yi with a horizontal sword and asked, "Xiao Yi, this Zhuge clan is secretive, and they don't know whether they are friends or foes, is it too presumptuous for us to do this?" ”

Lu Yi was about to speak, when an old voice suddenly sounded in mid-air: "Is Your Excellency Hall Master Li?" It is a neighborhood, but please wait for a while, since someone will go to guide you out of the village. ”

Li Mubai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that after many years, someone would reveal his identity in this barren mountain and wilderness, so he bowed to the place where he spoke: "It's here, thank you for staying with Mu Bai and the others." "More than ten years ago, when the Kyushu Juyi League was at its peak, Li Mubai was indeed the deputy hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall under the Luoyang General Hall, but to this day, whether it is "drunk and crazy" or "the four sons of the rivers and lakes", which one is louder than this name, the other party only calls him the identity of the deputy hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Kyushu Juyi League, which must have another deep meaning.

Lu Yi asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it seems that he has a holiday with you?" Do you mean you can't get to know each other? ”

Li Mubai smiled bitterly: "The Zhuge clan is secretive, I have never heard of any children of the clan walking the rivers and lakes, I just want to know them, and there is nowhere to meet them." As for what you said, I can't talk about the holidays, I guess the things I told you during the day were known by the other party. ”

Lu Yi thought that Li Mubai had told him before that he had come to Zhuge Ancient Town with the Qimen Dunjia experts in the alliance, so he grinned and said, "In this way, the two of us are in trouble tonight, isn't it a small matter?" ”

Li Mubai didn't care about his crazy temperament, and said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe, let's treat people with courtesy, but if the other party has to find trouble, then it's no wonder that I, Li Mubai, don't know how to be polite." ”

While speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of clothes breaking through the air not far ahead, and Li Mubai glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Someone is coming, act on the opportunity." ”

Lu Yi has followed Li Mubai to the rivers and lakes in the past few days, but he has gained a lot of knowledge, and when he saw Li Mubai's eyes, he nodded lightly, staring at the direction of the person who came with a vigilant face.

After a moment, he saw two gray figures floating towards him, standing not far in front of the two, one of them was a lupine scarf, with a light smile on his face, and he bowed his hand slightly to the two and then fell on Li Mubai: "Presumably Your Excellency is Hall Master Li, right?" In Xia Zhuge Ning, this is the younger brother Zhuge Yuan, who came to greet the two of them on the order of the family teacher. Zhuge Yuan was dressed decently, and bowed his hand to the two with a smile.

It's not that the other party has a unique vision, it's really that Lu Yi and Li Mubai are too immature compared to each other, and they can distinguish the identities of the two at a glance.

Li Mubai bowed his hand and replied: "Thank you Zhuge Shaoxia, but you don't know how to make the master respectful?" Although Zhuge Ning is dressed up shockingly, he is not too old, and he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen, but the two of them enter the battle to welcome guests, and they must have studied the art of Qimen Dunjia, and Li Mubai also wants to take the opportunity to find out.

Zhuge Ning smiled slightly and did not answer, but gave a salute to Lu Yi again, and did not ask his identity, but said: "When you come down, the master has an order, just welcome the two into the village, as for the identity of the family teacher, after the two see the family teacher, they will naturally know, and please forgive the sin." ”

Li Mubai looked at the expressions of Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan, and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he nodded and smiled: "In this case, there are two young heroes in front of you to lead the way." ”

Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan didn't talk much, and the number of courtesies was a lot, and after bowing and bowing, they turned around and led the way in front of their heads, leading the two of them slowly towards the ancient town.

Xu is two people had already turned off the mechanism in the forest before they came, and the four of them came and went freely in the woods, and they didn't encounter any attacks or obstacles, and Ren Lu Yi had been observing the surrounding situation all the way and didn't find much.

The location where the two of them were located was not too far from the ancient town, and the four of them walked slowly and only took less than half a pillar of incense to leave the forest and enter the town.

After the four of them arrived in front of the ancient town, Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan stopped, turned around and bowed to Li Mubai and Lu Yi together: "Two distinguished guests, Ning and Yuan still have some trivial matters to deal with, please wait here for a while, someone will lead the two into the town." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Mubai and Lu Yi to return the salute, they each dodged into the birch forest, and the speed was not inferior to the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

Li Mubai sighed sincerely: "It is worthy of being the descendant of Zhuge Kongming, even the ordinary disciples in the clan have such kung fu. ”

What Lu Yi thought in his heart was that Zhuge Ning and Zhuge Yuan brothers returned to the formation, and they must have been instructed to restart the Taiji Mixed Yuan Array and the Yin and Yang Liangyi Array, but unfortunately they couldn't follow the two of them to take a peek, otherwise this Zhuge Ancient Town would be able to come and go freely.

The greeting person has not yet arrived, Lu Yi has nothing to do and looked up to observe the entrance of this ancient town, only to see that the city wall is as high as several zhang, the flag of the city head is displayed, there is a faint armor soldier standing proudly at the head of the city with a gun, there is a three-story city tower above the city gate about three zhang wide, at this time the gate is closed, the suspension bridge is hung high, and the water ripples in the moat.

Lu Yi fixed his eyes and saw the two big characters "Xicheng" engraved on the city gate in Han Li, and suddenly moved in his heart and asked Li Mubai: "Brother Li, I remember that the place where Zhuge Kongming used the empty city strategy to scare away Sima Yi's 100,000 soldiers was called Xicheng, right?" ”

Li Mubai nodded and said: "That's right, there is such a paragraph in "Three Kingdoms", but judging from the current situation, this 'West City' in front of you is far better than the 'West City' where Zhuge Kongming Fuqin retreated from the enemy back then!" ”

Lu Yi said with a smile: "As long as they don't sing about the empty city plan today, it's fine." ”

Li Mubai quipped: "The empty city plan is much better than the Hongmen Banquet, right?" Don't give our brothers a '500 knives and axes in ambush under the corridor, just waiting for the cup to be broken', but it will be miserable. ”

While the two were talking, a swift figure suddenly flashed above the city tower, like a wisp of green smoke swept away in the southeast direction, Li Mubai was taken aback when he saw this figure, and when he was about to take a closer look, he saw two figures jumping down from the top of the city tower, and one of them laughed and said: "The two distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time, Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi have come to welcome the two into the city." ”

Li Mubai's heart was full of suspicions, but he had to bow his hand to Zhuge Jing and Zhuge Zhi first, and when he looked in the direction of the city tower again, the figure before had already disappeared.
