Suddenly, I heard Guiguzi say: "The old man created the 'Yin Fu Seven Methods' to get these seven swords, so it is called the 'Yin Fu Seven Swords'." Although the Seven Swords have been given to you, you need to practice them diligently, otherwise it will be like nothing. ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "The younger generation will definitely practice and comprehend diligently, and live up to Mr. Painstaking." ”

Guiguzi said again: "Lu Yu, you are smart by nature, and you should also know that boxing is also in it." ”

Lu Yu suddenly realized, only to know that the original sword move is also a fist technique, and the fist method is also a sword move, and all changes are inseparable from this "Yin Fu Seven Methods".

Guiguzi turned around, slowly walked to the cave, and said in his mouth: "Sanxichi can see the road down the mountain to the south, and after going down the mountain tomorrow, more than 300 miles to the south, you can go to Weidu Daliang, you and I are destined to end here." I hope you go with the sky, and don't go against the sky. If there is any wrongdoing, it will be punished by heaven. ”

When the last sentence was spoken, Guiguzi's figure had disappeared into the darkness, and only the last few words were still echoing in the cave.

Lu Yu was in a cold sweat behind his back by his last few words, and finally didn't hold back, knelt down in the direction he was walking, and kowtowed three times.

I don't know if Guiguzi saw Lu Yu's expression and actions in the dark. How deep this water curtain cave is, Lu Yu didn't explore, Guiguzi thought that his fate with Lu Yu was over, and he shouldn't see him again.

Maybe Guiguzi already knew the ridiculous thought that floated in Lu Yu's heart. Lu Yu once boldly thought in his heart that he wanted to change Qin Shi Huang's empire to be able to go on for a long time, not just a dozen years. In Guiguzi, he thought that everything was already doomed, and he tried every means to change it, but in the end he couldn't overcome the so-called providence. Perhaps the Book of Heaven in his mouth did not mention that the Qin State could unify the world, but because of the appearance of Lu Yu, the Qin State had this opportunity to stimulate the development of history.

Maybe these are all Lu Yu raised himself too high, there was no such number one person as himself in the history of two thousand years ago, the rise of the Qin State is definitely a natural development in history, and because he alone can change something.

"If there is any wrongdoing, you will be punished by heaven", these eight words are still entwined in Lu Yu's ears, as indelible as deep in his mind. Lu Yu felt that if he "went against the sky", Guiguzi would definitely order his disciples to attack him, and he might even take action himself.

Originally, Lu Yu planned to go down the mountain directly, but because the two of them had spent a day in the Water Curtain Cave, it was already evening when Lu Yu came out of the Water Curtain Cave, and he thought that it was not safe to go down the mountain at night, so he had to return to the previous gourd cave and wait for the morning dawn to go down the mountain.

The oil lamp on the stone platform in the inner cave was already on, and when Lu Yu came in, he thought that Guiguzi had returned here one step ahead of him, but he didn't find him. Then I remembered that this oil lamp had been lit since I came here, and it had never been extinguished. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it before, so I always thought that Guiguzi turned on the lamp when it was dark.

Out of curiosity, Lu Yu carefully observed the lamp in front of the stone platform, and finally found that there was a circle of traces on the top of the lamp oil, which should be the oil stains of the lamp oil burned by the oil lamp before. The lamp has two layers, the outer layer is not oil, but water, and the inner layer is fuel. After careful research, Lu Yu found that the wick exuded a faint smell similar to vinegar, as if it had been specially made by some secret recipe. I don't know how long this oil lamp has been burning, and the wick is not black at all, as if it will never burn out, which makes Lu Yu not only think of the ancient ever-bright lamp.

Could it be that this lamp is the kind of eternal lamp that will never be extinguished in the legend? If the wick can't be burned, then why is the lamp oil so durable? Lu Yu couldn't help but be surprised, because it was the layer of water outside that played a cooling role, so that the oil temperature was cooled, and the wick soaked in vinegar could also be kept cold, plus this kind of lamp oil made of I don't know what material was used, so that this lamp could work for a long time. I have watched some programs that explain the principle of the ever-bright lamp, saying that the wick is not only brewed with vinegar, but also contains phosphorus, a chemical substance, and the lamp is not lit, but exerted because of heat. In addition, it is said that the lamp oil is made from whale fat, which is particularly durable, and it is said that the lamp oil of the lantern is made from the shark of the East China Sea.

After studying this great invention of the ancients for a long time, Lu Yu found that there was a brand new samurai uniform on the stone platform, and a package was placed next to it. Presumably Guiguzi prepared it for him. Look at this set on his body, it has already been tattered, and not only a wave of gratitude has sprung up. Guiguzi said that he was destined for himself, and he must have been preparing to let himself go down the mountain, and prepared for himself while he was not in the cave. Although there is no name of master and apprentice, there is a friendship between teachers and students. Lu Yu felt from the bottom of his heart that he didn't know that it was the blessing of several lifetimes of cultivation to have such a master-apprenticeship with this ancient strange person, which was something that many people dreamed of, and when he intended to accept himself as an apprentice, he did not immediately worship him as a teacher.

If it weren't for the fact that he was from two thousand years later, or because of Qin Shihuang's relationship, he was afraid of doing something contrary to his master, and he would probably have become an apprentice of Guiguzi.

But from the moment Guiguzi hid into the Water Curtain Cave, Lu Yu knew that in his heart, he had already called his master countless times.

In order to rush to Wei as soon as possible, Lu Yu decided to rest early and recuperate enough to hurry tomorrow.

It has been nearly two months since they came to Yunmeng Mountain, and Zhang Wu and the others are afraid that they have already arrived in Wei State, and even left Wei State to go to Zhao State. But no matter what, Lu Yu must first rush to the capital of Wei State, because of the relationship between Ximen Hou, so that he can fight to see Xin Lingjun, inquire about Zhang Wu and their news from him, and then find a way to trust Xin Lingjun's relationship to go to Zhao State, otherwise if he rushes to Zhao State directly, not only will no one know him, but even he himself will not know who Zhang Wu's acquaintance in Handan is, how can he sneak into the palace to meet King Zhao, let alone inquire about the whereabouts of Zhen Zheng, who is still in Zhao State as a proton.

Thinking that there was still a long way to go, Lu Yu tossed and turned on the stone bed for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he simply sat up on the stone bed and practiced the "Seven Methods of Yin Fu" taught by Guiguzi from the beginning again. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

When he came to Sanxi Pond, he found that Guiguzi had already prepared a horse for him. Lu Yu was grateful again.

It was a horse with a fiery red mane, with well-proportioned and strong muscles, a shiny coat, and long, muscular hooves, and a look of pride that looked very energetic. The long neck and steady rhythm of breathing told Lu Yu that the horse's lung capacity must be exceptionally good, suitable for running long distances.

To the south of Samkei-chi, an imperceptible path winds down the waist of the mountain like a belt. With a slightly complicated mood, Lu Yu pulled the reins in his hand and led the horse to step on this rugged road, stepping on another new journey in his life.

Before going down the mountain, Lu Yu used the broken army sword to trim his originally fluffy hair, there was an extra bun on the top of his head, the beard on his face was also shaved clean, and he put on the new samurai uniform that Guiguzi prepared for him, and he looked completely indistinguishable from the ancients. Except, of course, his modern underwear, which he is still reluctant to throw away. The ancients of Lu Yu's era did not have the saying "underwear" at all, except that some aristocratic men would use a cloth about six feet long to simply roll a few rolls around the waist and under the crotch, called a crotch cloth.

In ancient times, the clothes and hairstyles have not changed much, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the biggest change in clothing is the appearance of the crotch cloth, and the Warring States period Zhao State Wuling King boldly quoted the short clothes of the Hu people.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the style of people wearing swords was very popular, and many nobles even used clothes and swords to show their noble status, and it also contained the meaning of etiquette and self-cultivation. If Guiguzi saw him trimming his hair and shaving with a broken sword, I don't know if he would be so angry that his nostrils smoked.

The mountain road was rugged, and Lu Yu didn't go down until nightfall, and the snow fell for a whole day. The horse that Guiguzi prepared for him had a gentle temperament, and seemed to know that Lu Yu was its new owner, and behaved very cooperatively. Lu Yu patted its neck and said, "Brother Ma, the more than three hundred miles below depend on you." ”

The horse craned its neck and neighed as if it understood him. Lu Yu rode up, wanting to find a place to settle down quickly, otherwise if he encountered any jackals and beasts in the middle of the night, he couldn't beat them, it would be terrible.

Lu Yu turned his head and looked at the mountain, wondering if Guiguzi would be standing somewhere looking at him at this time? Xuan laughed at his cranky thoughts, it was already night, even if Guiguzi and his old man were not dazzled, he might not be able to see himself from such a high place.

After galloping south for about an hour, Lu Yu finally found a village in front of him, thinking that it was about seven o'clock in the evening at this time, the ancient people were simple, it was better to try their luck, and they should be able to find a family to spend the night.

There are only a dozen houses in this village, and the architectural style is no different from what Lu Yu saw when he was in Majiagou that day, all of which are roof with thick hay, which shows that the life of the common people at that time was very difficult, and they could not afford to cover the roof with tiles. Lu Yu led the horse to the nearest house, and then heard the barking of dogs, and then almost all the dogs barked wildly, which made Lu Yu's ears so noisy that he wanted to chop off a few to fill his stomach.

The lights of a dozen or so houses were turned on, and each family opened the crack in the door curiously, and hid in the house only to see who was coming. It may be that seeing Lu Yu alone, an old man took the lead in carrying a torch and walked out, and then almost everyone followed the old man out.

Lu Yu looked at it, almost thirty people, the old man has accounted for more than half, the rest are all women and children, a few young women are still wrapped in swaddling clothes in their arms, and there is a baby's cry inside, everyone is talking to each other, as if they are talking about who this person is, and from time to time they look up at Lu Yu with vigilant eyes, and a few of them are talking in a low voice, while pointing to the sword on Lu Yu's waist.

The old man with the torch walked up to Lu Yu, saw his appearance clearly, probably felt that he was not a bad person, and asked, "I don't know what this strong man has to do?" ”

Lu Yu arched his hand and said: "Hello uncle, the kid is passing by your land in a hurry, and seeing that it is getting late, it is inconvenient to hurry, so he is cheeky to ask for a night, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”

The old man asked, "May I ask who is the strong man?" Where do you want to go? ”

Lu Yu thought that these people should be ordinary people, so he said: "The kid just came down from the mountain and wants to go to Daliang." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the old man's body shook, and twenty or thirty people behind him also talked about it, and they also pointed fingers at Lu Yu, but Lu Yu saw that they had no malicious intent.

The old man showed a somewhat surprised expression, and asked again, "Is the strong man from Yunmeng Mountain?" ”

Lu Yuxin said that he didn't expect that you also knew Yunmengshan, so he replied: "It's Yunmengshan, I didn't expect you to know it, uncle." ”

After listening to Lu Yu's answer, the old man showed an excited expression, walked over and grabbed Lu Yu's hand, and said again and again: "Come on, come on, just invite the strong man to the old man's house." The old man is the patriarch of his clan, and we have all received the blessings of the living immortals of Yunmeng Mountain, and you are from the mountain, you must be the immortals sent by his old man. ”

Lu Yu was surprised, thinking that Guiguzi would usually help these poor people like a fairy, this place is very close to Yunmeng Mountain, maybe he often helps them when he goes down the mountain, otherwise these people will show awe when they hear Yunmengshan.

The patriarch's house is slightly larger in the middle of these houses, but it is not more luxurious than other houses from the outside, and it is also made of grass and mud, but the place is a little bigger, and the yard is enclosed, and the cooking utensils and other daily necessities are placed in a corner of the yard. Most of the people also followed to the patriarch's courtyard, until the patriarch ordered everyone to go home, and everyone reluctantly dispersed.

The patriarch kindly held Lu Yu's hand and walked into the room, only to see an extremely simple layout, a wooden altar about one meter high enshrined the spiritual seat of the ancestors, in front of the altar was a square table, there was an oil lamp on the table, next to it were two smoothed roots, and then there was nothing else. There is a door on the left and right, and there is a bamboo curtain, which should be the two rooms of their house. The patriarch pulled Lu Yu to sit down on the root of the tree, and he went into the inner room again, not knowing what he was tinkering with, he came out after a while, carrying an old kettle and wooden cup in his hand, and poured Lu Yu a glass of wine with a faint aroma, and then he sat down on another section of the root.

The patriarch asked kindly, "Has the strong man eaten?" ”

Lu Yu then remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and after a day's journey, he was already hungry and his belly was deflated, and when he reminded the patriarch, his stomach growled, and he scratched his head with his hands in embarrassment. The patriarch also heard the cry in his stomach, laughed, and the wrinkles on his face sank deeply, and then turned and went into the inner room, and brought him two large breads.

After stuffing it into Lu Yu's hand, the patriarch said: "There are no delicacies in the deserted villages and mountains, so these two cakes will be wronged for the time being, so let's eat them." ”

Lu Yu thought that the people here were not rich, and food should be their most precious item, so he didn't dare to accept it, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "There is a Lao patriarch, the kid has his own dry food, these two big cakes, uncle, you can keep them for yourself to eat, just eat your own." ”

The patriarch frowned, and said in his mouth: "How can it be done?" On weekdays, the gods on the mountain send us food and clothing, and we can't repay it! It's a rare opportunity to repay today, so please don't shirk anymore. As he spoke, he colded the flatbread to Lu Yu's hand again.

After a few excuses, Lu Yu was afraid that the patriarch would be unhappy, so he had to hold up the cake and take a bite to show him, and the patriarch smiled with satisfaction. Maybe it was because he was hungry, but he only felt that these two cakes were sweet and delicious, Lu Yu suddenly felt much stronger than any delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he swallowed the dates immediately, and stuffed the two flatbreads into his stomach in a few clicks, accompanied by wine, and burped comfortably.

The patriarch saw that he was eating wolf, and kept reminding him to slow down, don't choke, and watched him finish eating two flatbreads, and then he smiled with satisfaction and poured him a full glass of wine.

Lu Yu remembered that all the people he saw just now were old and weak women and children, and he didn't see half of the strong men, so he asked, "Why are there all old people and women here, but no young men?" ”

After listening to Lu Yu's question, the patriarch showed a gloomy look on his face, lowered his head and sighed before saying: "Over the years, the strong men have been conscripted to fight, not only us, but also the situation in other places." ”

During the Warring States period, there were few people and wars continued, so it was normal for strong men to be conscripted into the army. Regardless of the dynasty, the common people are a group that is unwilling to go to war, and war will tear many originally intact families apart, whether it is invaded or invaded. In the ancient times when the feudal society arose, human beings slowly came out of the matriarchal society, which also began the concept of patriarchy, and the army was dominated by men, so the society at that time should be prosperous and declining, and the number of women should far exceed that of men.

Lu Yu couldn't help but hope that this situation should end as soon as possible, so that there would be no war and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, but he knew that it would take a long time to come out of the feudal society.

The patriarch also said: "The Qin people are constantly fighting, and our ancestors have avoided the war from Korea to Wei in order to escape the war, but they have never been able to avoid it. Everyone hated the Qin people, if it weren't for the Qin people to attack other countries, everyone could farm freely, and they wouldn't have to be conscripted to fight. ”

Lu Yu said: "Even if the Qin people don't come to attack, as long as any country becomes stronger, they will attack others, and the result will be the same." ”

The patriarch sighed: "The old man doesn't know the truth of governing the world, he only knows that the common people want to live in peace and stability, and that's enough." The strong man came from Yunmeng Mountain, presumably it was the gods who guided the way to save the world and save us suffering people, right? ”

Lu Yu smiled embarrassedly: "The patriarch is too awarded, the kid doesn't dare to boast, this kind of chaotic situation in the world will end soon, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment again." ”

The patriarch's eyes lit up, and then he drooped down again, and said thoughtfully: "The old man is old, I think I can't see the time when the world is peaceful." But when I heard the strong man say this, I still felt happy, as long as it was too peaceful, the clansmen would have hope to survive, and the old man would have the face to see his ancestors. ”

Lu Yu knew that the war would bring pain to the people, and this place would also be flattened by Daqin's army in the future, but he couldn't tell him directly, so he comforted him: "The patriarch doesn't have to worry too much, the so-called division will be together for a long time, so there will be no long-term war." ”

The patriarch bowed his head and remained silent. After a while, he told Lu Yu that his wife died early, and his two sons were also conscripted to fight, so the other room was empty, which was originally intended for his son, but this time it was ten years, and there was no news, and it was estimated that it was more than lucky. It's a pity that the patriarch is alone, if it weren't for the fact that the people in the clan are all from the same lineage, they are all very close, and it is estimated that he would have gone to find a secret place to spend the rest of his life.

According to the patriarch, their clan was originally also the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, and later the three families were divided into the Jin Kingdom, which split the original Jin Kingdom into the current three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei.

Because their ancestors were ministers around the Zhi clan, they were afraid of retribution, so they led their clansmen to avoid disasters and have been living in a fixed place.
