The mountains around Luojiayu are not too high, and they look like they are about 100 zhang. However, there are many strange rocks and extremely steep, and people can barely climb up the mountain, but it is difficult for horses to climb the mountain.

Lai Cheng discussed with Luo Li Yin, deposited the horses at his house, and the four of them prepared to travel lightly.

Packed some food and wine at will, and handed them to Mai Tiedan and Cheng Yanjin respectively, Xu Shiyun carried a long sword on his back, and took a spear for self-defense from his horse.

The [Tiger Head Chisel Golden Gun] and the [Dragon Head Chain Hammer] are both placed in the system space, and there is no need to hold such an eye-catching thing in your hand all day long when you go out.

Since completing the task of "Little Overlord of the West Market", it has been a long time since I opened the system to check, and when I go out, in order to avoid shocking the world, I can't even take out the weapons in this system to show off my daily practice.

The spear was grabbed casually from the weapon rack in the backyard, and the hardwood shaft and cast-iron tip were almost as small as a burning stick in the hand. It is neither easy to use nor can be used to show the hard-core Lai Jia marksmanship and Zhai family marksmanship, but it is just a bluffing thing, not as good as Cheng Biting Jin's long knife, and it can also be used to split the weeds and weeds that block the way.

After turning over several hills, the front is open, and dozens of small farmhouse courtyards are neatly distributed at the foot of the mountain.

Lai Cheng looked at the slightly embarrassed clothes that were scraped out of a few holes by the branches and vines, and said with a wry smile: "It's just a few small hills that make everyone so embarrassed, it seems that there is still a lack of experience in the mountains and wilderness. ”

Xu Shiyun nodded and said: "Childe is right, when marching in the wild, all kinds of situations may be encountered, and if there is no targeted training in advance, there will indeed be heavy losses." ”

Cheng Biting Jin was very grinning and didn't care: "Anyway, with you here, I will drink porridge with Lao Cheng." ”

For Cheng Yanjin's attitude of indifferent to everything, there is nothing to be done, and he can't be forced to do things that he doesn't like to do.

Let's look up at the sun: "It's not early, let's rest for a while, and then go into the village to find the Lu family to ask about Luo Shixin's whereabouts." ”

Xu Shiyun and Cheng Biting Jin nodded one after another, only the stupid big Mai Tiedan was holding a meat cake and gnawing on Zhengxiang. As long as there is food around, Mai Tiedan's mouth has never been idle.

The whole four of them had eaten and drunk enough to rest, and entered this village, which seemed to be only a few dozen households.

The village is not large, but it is very neat and clean, and the stone-paved village roads are smooth and smooth, unlike other villages where firewood is piled up on both sides of the road, nor are there chickens, ducks and goats running around and left unattended.

Xu Shiyun was surprised: "There are masters in this village." ”

"Oh? How can I see it? Lai Cheng asked.

"Childe, please take a look." Xu Shiyun stretched out his hand and pointed: "Although there are only a few dozen households in this village, the distribution is extremely regular, and the houses and courtyards in this village look exactly the same, no different." This is arranged according to the formation of Zhuge Wuhou's Bagua Ecstasy Array during the Three Kingdoms.

This road seems to be straight and neat, but in fact it implies a way to obstruct the eyes, if you follow this road, you will not be able to walk for three days and three nights without walking out of the village that looks only the size of this palm. ”

"I see." It dawned on me: "No wonder it always looks like something is wrong." ”

Xu Shiyun continued: "In the future, whether the son walks the rivers and lakes, or marches and fights, anyone who sees the appearance of a village and makes his heart uneasy, must not be blindly stationed. ”

"Why is that?"

"The natural topography may be magical, but it is absolutely in harmony with the environment and does not feel abrupt. The artificial formation setting, although it tries its best to cover up the traces, is not natural after all, and it still has to expose flaws. Sometimes we can't see the flaws, but we can feel out of place with our surroundings. ”

Lai Cheng looked at the village in front of him carefully, nodded and said, "After listening to Shi Xun's explanation, I will look at this village, and the feeling is really different from just now." ”

Cheng Yanjin also pretended to nod and said, "Well, yes, yes." It is indeed a village built under the guidance of a master. ”

came and pulled Xu Shiyun: "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

Xu Shiyun said with a smile: "If you encounter an opponent who is in such a formation during the march, it is not difficult to break the formation. But now we are here to ask for help, and if we break the formation, won't we embarrass the master? ”

Let's laugh "haha": "Then let's just go in and go on a rampage, we will definitely be able to lure the people of the Lu family out." ”

Cheng bit Jin grinned: "I like to act like this the most, I will fight with the big black guy, and Brother Xu and Brother Xu will come later." ”

Not to mention that Cheng bites the metal in the kind of thick and fine, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. After saying this sentence, Deng Shi made Lai's opinion of him rise by more than a notch.

Lai nodded his head: "It's okay, Brother Cheng and Second Brother Mai will go to inquire first, and Brother Shi and I will arrive later." ”

Mai Tiedan chewed and ate in his mouth, and said with a whin: "My mother said, let me not leave you an inch." ”

Come and pat Mai Tiedan's shoulder: "Second Brother Mai, you can't learn anything if you always follow me, and you can only help me do more things in the future by going through solo training." ”

"I'll listen to you." Mai Tiedan stuffed the bread in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, picked up a piece of stone on the side of the road and was about to enter the village.

Seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed Mai Tiedan: "Second Brother Mai, let you go to explore the way, not to demolish other people's villages, put down the boulders, and go in empty-handed, remember not to do anything with others." ”

Mai Tiedan nodded, and threw the stone in his hand to the side of the road with a "boom": "Got it." ”

Lai Quan shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: This second brother of the Mai family really can't go out alone, and if you can't see it at a glance, I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble for you.

Xu Shiyun said on the side: "Although this little gossip ecstasy array is not a top-notch formation, it is not something that ordinary people can arrange. If it is true that the Mai brothers demolished a house, then they would have a grudge against others. In case the master of the Lu family is bent on opposing us in the future, it will also be a headache. ”

Lai nodded his head: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and the masters who are hiding in this wilderness should not be provoked." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin and Mai Tiedan had disappeared from the corner of the street, Xu Shiyun said: "Childe, let's go in too, so as not to make the two of them suffer more." ”

"Could it be that this village has a mechanism in addition to the formation?" I was a little confused.

"There must be a mechanism, but whether it can be opened or not depends on the owner's will." Xu Shiyun waved his long sleeves and drove away the autumn insects flying in front of him.

Lai said with a smile: "This kind of master will either be used for his own use, or he will be merciless." This is what Uncle Jean once told me. ”
