Chapter 66: Luoxia Village
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth lifted slightly, it was not unreasonable for Ling Yunzhi to lose to Zifeng, the head of Youming, when the world knew martial arts.
Seeing that Cao Yi's right hand slashed at him, Lu Bu still calmly turned the halberd to a pick, which once again defused Cao Yi's offensive.
In a row, Cao Yi's two figures opened their bows left and right, and the afterimage of the real body alternated between the virtual and the real, while Lu Bu and Fang Tian's halberd blocked left and right, but they dissolved Cao Yi's offensive again and again, but several counterattacks during the period were also dodged by Cao Yi as an afterimage.
For a while, the two of them were evenly divided, and the people around them kept shouting and cheering for Cao Yi, which was quite impressive.
"The afterimage swordsmanship is really good. Lu Bu smiled lightly.
"Your strength should be more than that! The first person in the world to know martial arts, Lu Bu among the people!" Cao Yi's eyes were like torches, from the very beginning, this Lu Bu was just cooperating with his style of play, and the momentum of the Chongxuan faction that opened and closed and swept away thousands of armies was not shown at all.
"Since you know it's me, why don't you retreat?" Lu Bu said with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Being able to compete with an opponent like you is something that a martial artist is looking forward to. β
"Well, if that's the case, I'll be busy. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the next moment, as if they had made an appointment, Cao Yi's figure was divided into two, two and four, and thirty-six afterimages were divided in a blink of an eye, and Lu Bu, the orange aura of his whole body was suddenly raised to the extreme, a domineering extreme, majestic and incomparably energetic, suddenly swept out, and the people around felt that a powerful oppression suddenly attacked, and the voice of shouting and cheering stopped abruptly, and everyone retreated one after another, and the circle of onlookers only stopped after expanding by ten meters.
In the next moment, Cao Yi's thirty-six figures performed a battle of wheels, taking turns to launch a stormy offensive against Lu Bu, and Lu Bu, a tiger and tiger dancing with a Fang Tian painting halberd, three waves of attacks in a row, were forcibly defused by Lu Bu.
"Youming's tricks have always restrained the Heavy Xuan Sect, and this, even you, is no exception!" Cao Yi's ethereal voice came out all around, Lu Bu smiled faintly, and said, "This may not be. β
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu's figure moved forward abruptly, and in an instant, he rushed to Cao Yi, who was shocked and hurriedly replaced with other afterimages, however, at the moment of replacement, Lu Bu immediately stopped the offensive and reflexively shot towards another afterimage.
Everything only happened between the lightning and the fire, and when the Fang Tian Painting Halberd was against Cao Yi's throat, Cao Yi's eyes were only full of disbelief.
"Why, can you know exactly who I really are?" After speaking, the twenty-seven afterimages all dissipated into nothingness.
"Because, my sentient sense, I have long been aware of your true identity. β
Lu Bu said and put away Fang Tian's painting halberd.
Cao Yi sighed, but his face was still a little unconvinced: "Perception? I admit that perception is the magic weapon to restrain our tricks, if you don't have such extraordinary perception, can you still win so easily?"
Lu Bu smiled lightly: "I have to say, if I don't have such perception, it is indeed not so easy to defeat you." If you have the heart, I can play with you. β
Cao Yi shook his head and said, "In a real battle, how can there be many restrictions, and it is impossible for the opponent to match his own style of play. I lost this battle. β
Cao Yi sighed, but in his eyes, he still showed dissatisfaction.
"Lu Bu, I heard that your archery skills are also unparalleled, do you dare to compare with me?"
"Oh, than the arrow?" the corners of Lu Bu's mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled disapprovingly: "Okay!"
Cao Yi drew the longbow behind him and said to the sky: "One arrow, shoot the bird." β
Lu Bu also took out the Xuantie Bow and said lightly, "Okay!"
The next moment, Cao Yi put the arrow on the string, the whole body burst out, a blood-colored aura instantly condensed out, a little aiming, it was an arrow shot, suddenly, the blood-colored arrow turned into a red lightning, burst out, in an instant, it was the bird hundreds of meters in the air, to shoot down.
"It's your turn. Cao Yi put away his bow and said lightly.
Lu Bu didn't reply, a steel arrow was already on the Xuantie bow, and the next moment, Lu Bu's whole body once again burst out with that domineering orange aura, and then his right hand pulled, and suddenly, the heavy Xuantie bow was immediately pulled by him to a full arc.
Feeling this terrifying energy, Cao Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and the next moment, under everyone's surprised gaze, the steel arrow shining with orange gas passed through the flock of birds in an instant, as if turning into stars, and disappeared without a trace.
"Cut, what, didn't shoot at all. The girl named Ye Zi pursed her lips, however, in the next moment, a deep shock flashed in everyone's eyes.
I saw that the flock of birds lost their ability to fly in an instant, and they all fell straight down.
The audience was silent.
Everyone looked at the group of birds that were born and fell in unison in a trance, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Putting away the Xuantie Bow, Lu Bu said lightly: "How?"
Cao Yi came back to his senses at this time, there was no disbelief on his face, he bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "The predecessors are unparalleled in martial arts, and the archery skills are superb, and I Cao Yi is convinced!"
"Okay!" Lu Bu helped Cao Yi up and said with a smile: "Since you are convinced, are you willing to follow me?"
Hearing this, Cao Yi's face flashed with a trace of embarrassment: "This ......"
Lu Bu smiled lightly and said, "Even if I don't want to, I won't force it." By the way, do you have any wine?"
Cao Yi's eyes were apologetic, and he arched his hand and said: "If the adults don't dislike it, I will do my best to be a landlord, please!"
......
"Crackling", in a dilapidated village, a bonfire was lit by leaves, and on the bonfire, a wild deer was roasting, and after a while, it overflowed with bursts of fragrance.
"Cao Yi, why did you come here to become the leader of the bandits?" Lu Bu asked after taking a sip of wine.
"I'm originally from here, and after I learned my art, I decided to come back and build my home, teach them martial arts, improve survival skills, plant, hunt, and then rob along the way, to add some extra income. β
"I see, the so-called people have their own aspirations, and I respect your choice. β
"In the past three years, I have taught them to cultivate True Qi and learn the martial arts of Youtian, and they can be regarded as a small success. Now that such a major event has happened in the imperial palace, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, and first of all, Yuezhou, a place where almost no imperial troops are stationed, will become even more chaotic. The Jianghu Sect has quickly infiltrated this area, and sooner or later, our mountain range will also be affected, so I must also prepare in advance. Cao Yi's expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of deep worry.
"Okay, manly man, don't forget your original intention, and be responsible. Lu Brown said, then picked up the bowl and said, "Come, do it!"
"!" everyone said in unison.
In this dilapidated village, everyone eats venison and drinks merrily. In such a chaotic place, if you don't become a wolf, you can only be slaughtered. Although it is a pity that he cannot recover Cao Yi, a master, Lu Bu also empathizes with the choice he made in such an environment.
After a day's rest, Lu Bu set off again, and in the quiet mountain forest, a red figure galloped by, and disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.
Ten days later, LΓΌ Bu finally stepped out of the territory of Yuezhou and came to the border pass of Yinzhou, where the well-equipped city defense army was strictly guarded.
took out the gold medal, and the captain of the city defense respectfully sent Lu Bu into the customs. Leaving this chaotic place, Lu Bu was also a lot more relaxed, that place was almost completely reduced to a situation where various sects were divided, there was no law at all, and the law and order deteriorated extremely. Perhaps it is because the place is poor and bad, and the counties are far apart, and it is difficult to unify the jurisdiction and governance, which has created the current situation. Of course, there may be a more important reason, which is poverty.
Lu Bu came to a post station, took a good rest, and inquired about the location of the Ginkgo Valley by the way.
At night, Lu Bu, who was slightly tired, changed into clean clothes after washing. Outside, the lake was rippling, the moonlight was just right, Lu Bu opened the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and was refreshed.
"It's finally the last stop, I can't imagine this trip, even if I am so desperate, I still go for more than half a year. Lu Bu looked at the scene outside the window, thought a little, starting from Yunzhou, almost circled around the entire Huaxia, what he saw and heard along the way, he really benefited a lot. Now, war is about to break out, and I should prepare for this as soon as possible.
"Ling Yunzhi and Yuan Jinghan are both heroes, and which force should I join?" Lu Bu had doubts in his heart.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and Lu Bu also turned on his horse and set off again. Speeding on the gallop road, the scenery on both sides quickly skimmed, compared to the poor mountains and rivers in Yuezhou, the road is difficult to walk, or this kind of straight road is more brisk.
Under the blue sky, a red shadow flew by like a streamer, bringing up dust all the way, and passers-by on both sides couldn't help but show envy on their faces when they looked at such a speeding horse.
From early morning to evening, and then the next day, it was not until the evening five days later that Lu Bu vaguely saw the beautiful valley.
Looking into the distance, near the valley, there was a village, and Lu Bu decided to go to the village to rest for the night, settle the horses, and then enter the valley before it was too late.
Soon, Lu Bu came to the entrance of the village, where there was a sign with three big characters written on it: Luoxia Village.
Turning over and dismounting, Lu Bu walked into this Luoxia Village, but he didn't realize that his brows were frowning slightly. This village is completely lifeless, without a trace of vitality, and the villagers inside are almost all depressed, I don't know what happened.
In this village, LΓΌ Bu found that there was also a post station, generally speaking, the post station was set up by the imperial court to provide food and lodging for people from all walks of life and to transfer horses on the way, and the establishment of a post station in such a place shows the importance of the imperial court to this place.
"It seems that the wind spirit grass in this Ginkgo Valley is very popular. Lu Bu thought in his heart. Holding the red shadow, Lu Bu quickly came to the front of the station, and after settling the horses, he pushed the door in.
"This guest officer, please sit here. As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly. Lu Bu nodded slightly, sat down inside, ordered some wine and food casually, and then asked, "I first arrived, why does this Luoxia Village look so lifeless?"
Shopkeeper sighed, shook his head and said, "Don't you know, a snake demon has appeared in that ginkgo valley recently, and anyone who steps into it will be driven out by it." Our Luoxia Village relies on that wind spirit grass to make a living to a large extent, and now that so many people have died, and their livelihood has been cut off, life is really difficult!"
"Snake demon?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, the so-called everything has a spirit, and a creature that can cultivate into a demon is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
"Have you entrusted a nearby sect to help eliminate the demon?" Lu Bu asked.
"Naturally, it was commissioned, but unfortunately, there were several people in that sect, but there was no news, and it was unlucky. The shopkeeper said helplessly.
