According to Zhang Wu, to leave Majiagou, you must pass through the waterfall, which is the only way out. Lu Yu thought that what Zhang Wu said about "leave immediately" meant to set off immediately, but it turned out that he was trying on clothes and packing up, which was more troublesome than a woman going out. A few simple clothes and a two-fold silk letter were tossed for most of the night.

It turned out that the last unopened wooden box contained a lot of baked cakes, oil cakes, and dry food like fried grains. Lu Yu deeply doubted that these three-no foods had passed the retention period, and if they ate them, their stomachs would be miserable. But then I think that these ancient foods may be much safer than the current food. The ancients always had some mysterious ways to preserve things, such as the pharaohs in the pyramids of Egypt. In ancient China, the preservation of food was also brought into full play. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was "the second day of the ice chiseling, and the third day was contained in Lingyin", that is, the outdoor ice was chiseled and stored in the ice kiln during the lunar month, and it could be taken out and enjoyed in the summer. Even in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the royal family also had a special official position to manage the ice storage and ice supply.

Zhang Wu was still a little wary of Lu Yu. Lu Yu's origin is unknown, he seems to be a foreigner, but his words and demeanor reveal all kinds of mysterious atmosphere, unlike the barbarians of the Baiyue tribe he has seen in his impression. Although after some time together, they didn't find anything suspicious, and wanted to guide Lu Yu to learn a few swordsmanship and let him move forward together, but there were more Ling Fan, Xiao Zhengwen and Ji Shaoyong by his side. Especially Xiao Zhengwen, although he is young, but the child is more obedient, maybe he will report to Zhang Wu whenever he makes any moves. And that Ji Shaoyong didn't look like a decent gentleman no matter how he looked at it, and looking at that Ling Fan from his squinting eyes made Lu Yu's impression of him greatly discounted.

And that beautiful Ling Fan, as Zhang Wu's junior sister, is she more of a heart with Zhang Wu? When he thought of her, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Thinking that he had indeed traveled back to the ancient Warring States period from modern times, this feeling was just like what was written in the book "Looking for Qin". laughed at himself and thought, the novel is fiction after all, and he is now in the Warring States Period, if he can really find Qin Shi Huang and assist him in unifying the Six Kingdoms, then wouldn't "Looking for Qin" become "Lu Yu's Autobiography"?

It's a fantasy.

Before dawn, Lu Yu was woken up by Zhang Wu. I blamed Zhang Wu for tossing and turning for most of the night last night to clean up the simple "trip", so that he couldn't sleep for a few hours last night. After a brief wash, the two met Ling Fan and Xiao Zhengwen and set off to leave Majiagou.

When they came to the waterfall, they saw a row of bamboo rafts about three zhang long parked by the pool, and Ji Shaoyong was sitting on the edge of the pool waiting for them.

It was the first time for Lu Yu to ride on this kind of bamboo raft. I saw it once when I was a child, but I didn't dare to go up because I was timid, I just watched a few friends learn to be adults and propped up the bamboo raft to the middle of the pond and couldn't row back, at that time Lu Yu was secretly glad that he didn't follow the "thief boat".

Just thinking about it, the bamboo raft has reached the bottom of the waterfall. The bamboo pole in Ji Shaoyong's hand was inserted into the shore and the bamboo raft was fixed. Just now, everyone's journey has been packed into two sheepskin bags by Ji Shaoyong, and it seems that it is the waterproof bag of this era. The sound of the waterfall was deafening, and my body was splashed. I saw Xiao Zhengwen pretending to be grimaceous, and seemed to be very excited, Zhang Wu also made a gesture, signaling everyone to go into the water and bypass the waterfall from underwater, and then Xiao Zhengwen jumped into the pool, and the water splashed four people, and when he looked at it again, it was gone.

Zhang Wu shook his head with a smile, tied the bronze sword to his back, and went into the water with him.

That Ji Shaoyong smiled at Ling Fan and made a "please" gesture, but it was as if Lu Yu didn't exist. Ling Fan didn't give in, like Zhang Wu, he also carried a sword on his back and jumped into the water in a very graceful posture. Ji Shaoyong didn't blink his eyes, and after a while, he turned around and signaled Lu Yu to go into the water, but his expression was cold, as if Lu Yu owed him money.

Lu Yu didn't care about him, he held the sword given to him by Zhang Wu in his left hand, took a deep breath, and jumped into the pool.

The water is cold and cold, the momentum of the waterfall is very strong, Lu Yu dives down as much as possible, the water is dark, Lu Yu doesn't know how deep the water is, and only after swimming about ten meters deep does he start to swim upstream.

When Lu Yu surfaced, he found that the four of them were already waiting for him. Lu Yu couldn't help but scold that Ji Shaoyong in his heart, and he didn't even pull himself under the water, allowing himself to soak in the cold water for a while. But seeing that Ji Shaoyong swam over with the two sheepskin bags, he didn't blame him anymore.

Zhang Wu held a torch in his hand, walked over and pulled Lu Yu, only to find that the water had slowly become shallow, but it was still very cold. Lu Yu saw clearly that the place he was in now was a long, narrow and dark cave, with a height of about one meter seven, Zhang Wu was the tallest among the five, and he walked with a cat's waist. Although Lu Yu's head couldn't hit the top of the hole, he still kept his head as low as possible so as not to hit it. The neat wall of the cave can be seen that the front section is a cave that has been dug out by hand, and after walking through a section, it is found that it is processed from the basis of a natural cave, and when digging the hole, the technique deliberately tries to disguise the chiseled part as if it is integrated with the original cave. I wonder who first discovered the world behind the waterfall on the other side of the cave?

The air in the cave was very humid, and Lu Yu felt that his feet were a little tilted forward, and he should be walking down the mountain. From time to time, there was the sound of rats being alarmed and running in all directions. In this kind of place, since there is a water source and rats, there must be some small animals that can provide rats as food, and of course, it is not excluded that there will be natural predators of rats, such as snakes.

Don't really have one. Lu Yu thought to himself.

Ling Fan, who seemed to be a weak woman, and Xiao Zhengwen, who was young, both behaved very calmly, and Lu Yu thought to himself that since you are not afraid, how can I act as if I am afraid. Although my heart is really a little hairy.

If the mobile phone is still there, I don't know if you can turn on the positioning system in ancient times to see where you are hiding.

After walking for about an hour, Zhang Wu beckoned everyone to stop, and then took out a little dry firewood from the baggage with Ji Shaoyong and Xiao Zhengwen, and lit it with a fire. Ling Fan took out a set of clothes from his baggage and walked behind a protruding boulder in front of him to change his wet clothes.

Lu Yu thought to himself that they were all quite familiar with this place, so they must have been in and out often. When I looked up, I found that except for Zhang Wu and Xiao Zhengwen, who were all around the rising fire, only Ji Shaoyong's eyes slanted in the direction of Ling Fan from time to time. Although he couldn't see it from his angle, Lu Yu still scolded him in his heart for being a pervert.

Only Ling Fan went to change the clothes on his body, but the rest of them seemed to rely only on the fire to dry the moisture on the clothes on their bodies. Lu Yu also wanted to take off the wet clothes on his body, thinking that their clothes were meaningless pants all over his body, although he was wearing a pair of modern underwear, but wearing a pair of underwear against Ling Fan, he always felt bad, so he also learned to bake them around the fire.

I saw that Ling Fan changed into a lilac tight-fitting robe, the style was the same as the previous one, the cuffs on both sides were wide, but there was no pattern, lilac and white alternately, as if to tell others that her person was as noble as the Fanjing realm, more like a fairy, and would never be stained with a trace of vulgarity.

Ji Shaoyong saw that his saliva was almost dripping again, and when he saw Ling Fan's eyes drifting by, he hurriedly put away his complexion and pretended to continue to roast the fire.

When Ling Fan's eyes met Lu Yu, he smiled faintly, and Lu Yu's heart fluttered, and he happened to meet Ji Shaoyong's eyes that were almost burning with jealousy.

Xiao Zhengwen used a sheepskin water bladder to fill the water, and Zhang Wu took out the dry food and gave everyone a small portion. Everyone didn't speak, with a serious face.

After eating the dry food, the clothes on their bodies were also baked to dry, and the five of them continued to walk. After walking for more than three miles, the light in the cave became brighter and brighter, and at some point, the torch in Zhang Wu's hand had already burned out. Suddenly, the eyes lit up, and the five of them finally walked to the entrance of the cave.

There was a dense forest in front of me, but we hadn't reached the bottom of the mountain yet. Zhang Wu turned around and said to Lu Yu, "After passing through this forest, you will go down the mountain." We will go to Chenjun at the bottom of the mountain to borrow horses. ”

It turns out that Majiagou and Chen Jun still have a relationship, otherwise if you take the risk of borrowing a horse, the ghost will be willing to lend it to you.

Following their fast steps, Lu Yu almost fell several times. I thought that if these people were put into modern times, they would all be marathon champions and would not be tired. I am glad that after Zhang Wu's guidance and after practicing the set of "Xuanyuan Zheng Qigong", I have pranayama, and my endurance seems to be much better than before.

Lu Yu originally thought that "walking through this woods" would only take an hour or two at most, but he didn't even "walk through this woods" when it was dark! If it weren't for these ancient people leading the way, Lu Yu would almost wonder if he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and after walking all afternoon, Lu Yu felt like he was spinning in circles, I really don't know if these ancient people were joking with themselves.

It was getting darker and darker, and the jumble of branches was as heart-wrenching as a devil with teeth and claws. In ancient times, the ecological environment was still very good, and many shrub plants grew unscrupulously, because there was no excessive logging, and those towering trees that could not be named were also everywhere. However, in ancient wars, large trees were often cut down and their trunks were used to make battering rams. I really don't know how the ancients cut down the big trees that only a few people can hug.

Suddenly, I heard Zhang Wu say: "We went down the mountain." ”

It turned out that the people had already descended the mountain. Lu Yu secretly thought that fortunately he didn't run away at that time, even if he knew that there was a cave behind the waterfall, just this primeval forest, without the help of mobile phone network and positioning, he didn't know how long it would take to come to the bottom of the mountain.

Sure enough, I used to fantasize about traveling to ancient times, but it was just a very beautiful dream, contrary to the current reality.

At this time, it was already night, and it was dark everywhere, and only a few flickering lights in the distance told Lu Yu that there were houses where people lived. I just don't know what time of night it is, have all the people there slept, can I find an inn like in the movie, or find a family to "spend the night"?

I heard Zhang Wu say again: "The biggest force in Chen County is the Teng family, and they have some friendship with us. This is already the Teng family's sphere of influence. These civilians live here, and it is because of the Teng family that they can be peaceful. ”

Lu Yu thought to himself, it turned out that the Teng family was still the local boss.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the county system had begun to be popular, which was a two-level local administrative system with counties unified after the patriarchal blood feudal system, which belonged to the embodiment of the centralized system in local power. Lu Yu originally thought that this was a system that only existed after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, because since the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was popular to divide the land to his descendants and meritorious heroes, and to grant the local nobles hereditary princes, and the magistrates of the county system could not be hereditary, which also violated the taboo of the nobles and was hindered by many obstacles. At this time, the county system should have only been rudimentary, and most of them could only choose land that had not been divided.

Zhang Wu led everyone to a grass hut with no people. This kind of thatched hut is a shelter specially provided for the samurai or common people who are in a hurry, Lu Yu estimates that there should be no formal inns in this kind of barren place, maybe there will be real early inns in the more prosperous cities.

After lighting a fire, Zhang Wu instructed Xiao Zhengwen to take out the dry food and share it. Looks like I'm going to spend the night here. Lu Yu saw that this thatched hut didn't even have a straw bed except for the four walls, but it was already very good to have such a resting place now. Zhang Wu and Ling Fan both carried swords, and that Ji Shaoyong was carrying a weapon six or seven feet long and wrapped in coarse cloth, which Lu Yu had never seen, and it was estimated that it was a spear or a spear.

After everyone had finished eating the dry food, Zhang Wu said to Ji Shaoyong: "Brother Ji, please ask you and Ling Fan to go to Na Teng's house immediately to report and say that we will go to the city tomorrow morning to pay respects." ”

Ji Shaoyong didn't seem to expect this sudden beauty difference, and even patted his chest and said that it was wrapped around him, as if he couldn't wait, he made a "please" gesture to Ling Fan.

Ling Fan didn't say much, and walked out of the grass hut by himself.

Ji Shaoyong was busy following behind like a fart and went out.

Lu Yuzheng complained in his heart that Zhang Wu actually gave such a beautiful gift to Ji Shaoyong's kid, and suddenly heard Zhang Wu say: "Brother Lu, you are in this house, attack me with a sword." ”

Lu Yu was stunned, but Xiao Zhengwen was so happy that he clapped his hands again and again.

Zhang Wu motioned to Xiao Zhengwen not to make a loud noise, looked at Lu Yu with a blank face, and said to him: "With your knowledge of the sword, play a few tricks for me." ”

Lu Yu suddenly realized that Zhang Wu deliberately supported Ji Shaoyong and Ling Fan, just to privately instruct himself to learn a few swordsmanship. didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and pulled the sword out of the sheath with one hand.

In this era of cold weapons, the sword is known as the "king of a hundred soldiers", and has a long history. The sword evolved from the dagger, and it was not until the late Spring and Autumn period that this long sword became popular. At that time, the three kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Chu all produced many famous swords.

The first time he used this ancient weapon, Lu Yu was still very excited in his heart. When I was a child, I watched martial arts movies on TV, and I almost never had anything to do with swords, and I often waved around with a toy sword, until I grew up, and sometimes I held a bamboo pole as if it were a sword. Of course, he can't really use the sword technique, it's purely a blind comparison.

Learning from the scene he had seen on TV before, Lu Yu held the sword behind his arm, compared a sword finger with his left hand, and suddenly shouted loudly and slammed towards Zhang Wu's door. Zhang Wu frowned slightly, and turned sideways to avoid it. Seeing the situation, Lu Yu stopped his sword and swept, and Zhang Wu shook his body again and flashed by. Lu Yu's two swords missed, thinking that the previous few smug sanda didn't even touch the corners of his clothes, and today he was just trying to force Zhang Wu to parry with his sword. Suddenly took a step forward and slashed at Zhang Wu again. Without waiting for the hit or not, he stepped forward into a bow, the tip of the sword was suddenly withdrawn, and then the backhand was pushed forward towards Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu didn't expect Lu Yu to have such a hand, his footwork and moves seemed messy, but he was aggressive. He didn't know that Lu Yu hadn't learned any swordsmanship, but he just laid out all the photos he had seen on TV, and Lu Yu liked to play a few times since he was a child, and over time he had a little bit of his own "enlightenment" out of the doorway, although it was not enough to hurt Zhang Wu, but it made him very interested.

After Lu Yu had already used the splitting, stabbing, pointing, teasing, and sweeping, and also used the hundred swords, there was no more tricks, and suddenly Zhang Wu lightly raised the sword to Lu Yu's swept sword, and then quickly twisted the scabbard from the tip of Lu Yu's sword forward, Lu Yu "ah", the long sword took off his hand, and fell to the ground with a "clang".

Zhang Wu won before he even left the sheath.

Xiao Zhengwen, who was on the side, clapped his hands again and again, making Lu Yu extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Wu asked: "Brother Lu used the sword just now, is the footwork taken from your 'Sanda'?" ”

Lu Yu picked up the sword while laughing embarrassedly, and said to Zhang Wu: "Brother Zhang's eyes are sharp, and the junior brother is making a fool of himself in front of you again." ”

How do you know that Zhang Wu said: "Although Brother Lu seems to be unfamiliar with the use of swordsmanship, but the basic gestures such as stabbing, splitting, pointing, teasing, and sweeping just now are not bad, although the posture is good-looking, but if it is used in actual combat, it will definitely suffer a big loss." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Please also ask Brother Zhang for advice." ”

Zhang Wuzhu: "Brother Lu is talented, and you can see flexibility in your fist and foot skills and the swordsmanship just now, but you haven't been instructed by a famous teacher, so it's not a rule." Without the permission of the master, Zhang did not dare to accept apprentices in private, so let's do it, you and I are destined, it is better for us to become brothers here, how old is Zhang Mou than you, in the name of his brother to guide his younger brother's swordsmanship, and do not attract gossip, what do you think? ”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the ancients liked these sworn relationships, no matter which dynasty it was. Even after the reform and opening up, there will still be such a relationship, and now it has finally been encountered by itself. made a promise immediately, and planned to worship Zhang Wu on the spot.

Xiao Zhengwen was making a fuss on the side and wanted to worship together, saying that he wanted to be the younger brother of the two, and he insisted on squeezing into the middle of the two. Later, Zhang Wu and Lu Yu couldn't resist him, so they had to let this boy who was less than ten years old also "worship" together.

After the simple ceremony, Zhang Wu began to "formally" explain to Lu Yu some swordsmanship how to use in actual combat, including the combination of fists and feet, which contained many "nouns", and Zhang Wu had to explain to Lu Yu many times before Lu Yu could understand.

A conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years.

Lu Yu even imagined whether he could become a swordsman with superb swordsmanship in the future, is it the same as in martial arts novels and movies?

Xiao Zhengwen, this kid, was in a good mood at this moment, constantly calling Zhang Wu "big brother" and Lu Yu "second brother", and he circled around them, and danced hand to hand, which was very embarrassing.

While they were making trouble, Ji Shaoyong and Ling Fan came back.

I saw Ling Fan's solemn face, Ji Shaoyong also stretched his face, and as soon as he came in, he said to Zhang Wu: "Sixth Brother Zhang, it seems that we will borrow a horse from the Teng family tomorrow, it will not be so easy." ”

Zhang Wu hurriedly asked why.

I only heard Ling Fan's beautiful voice and said angrily: "That young man Zhan's heart is not right, relying on the power of the Teng family, he looks down on us!" ”

Ji Shaoyong added angrily: "He just saw Miss Ling Fan, he didn't even look at it, and he spoke lightly, if he hadn't brought a dozen subordinates, I would have given him something powerful." ”

When he finished saying this, Lu Yu saw a trace of disdain on Ling Fan's face.

That look seemed to say, if you are really capable, even if Gongzizan brings a hundred subordinates, you will not take them seriously.

Zhang Wu frowned, took a deep breath, recited "Gongzi Zhan" a few times, and asked, "Have you ever seen Teng Da in charge just now?" ”

Ji Shaoyong said: "I didn't even go in, that Gongzizhan and a gang were just about to go back after spending all day drinking, so they bumped into us at the city gate." ”

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but pick up their weapons.

At this time, a man's voice came from outside the door: "Teng Wenzan, the son of the Teng family, is here to visit Miss Ling Fan." ”

Everyone in the room looked at Ling Fan in unison.

also found the door, Lu Yu thought to himself, it looks like he is going to fight.
