There is no way to enter the Hehu Mountains, according to Meng Yanxing's explanation, you must first cross the rice mountains on the edge of Daocheng, and then enter the jungle of Hegang Mountains to look for them, and walk to the northwest for three or four days to reach the 'Horseshoe Valley'. Throughout the afternoon, the three of Long Yi chatted and walked on the side of Daoshan, so they didn't agree.

Daoshan is a barrier behind Daocheng, and it takes half a day to ride a horse from Daocheng, so there are few people, and occasionally a few hunters from Daocheng come in to hunt, and Long Yi is one of them. Meng Yanchi pestered Long Yi to run horses here, so the two of them basically knew the situation in the mountains.

At night, Meng Yanchi lit a bonfire beside the small lake on the mountainside, the sky was hung with a full moon, and the moonlight sprinkled on the grassland at the foot of the mountain, as if he had put on a dark green dress for the plain, which was a rare beauty.

Five hares are roasting in the campfire, and the smell of meat is dripping. I have to admire, Li Xin's archery skills are really amazing, five rabbits and five arrows, none of them missed.

Li Xin handed over a roasted hare, and Long Yi took it and took a big bite: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Meng Yanchi also took a big bite to eat, and Long Yi asked while eating: "Brother Li, you just came back from Yijing, what is the situation outside, is there still war?" ”

"Yes, yes. Brother Li told us that I haven't been out of the house yet. Meng Yan chewed on a large piece of meat in his mouth and grunted vaguely.

Li Xin sighed before he said: "In this case, I will tell you in detail for my brother, after the Battle of Weishui, the Jin Dynasty was defeated, and my Great Zhou ancestor Liu Yu encouraged troops to send his generals Wang Zhenwei and Tan Daoji to recover Luoyang and Chang'an. Liu Yu established the Southern Song Dynasty and ascended the throne of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty. Then he ordered his second son Liu Xu to conquer Longxi with the assistance of the general Shi Shangbian, and Liu Xu was named the king of Zhou, that is, the first king of today's Great Zhou. In the sixteenth year of Yuanjia (note: 439 AD), the Xianbei people Tuoba Tao unified the north and established a powerful Northern Wei Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Xiao Dao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, after the death of Emperor Xiaowu Wen in the 23rd year of the Ming Dynasty (note: 479), and Xiao Dao established the Southern Qi Dynasty. At the time of chaos in the south, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty absorbed the culture of the Central Plains, moved the capital to Luoyang, encouraged the Xianbei people to intermarry with the Han people, changed to Han surnames, and promoted the integration between the Xianbei and Han people, and the country became stronger and stronger. However, the good times did not last long, Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, and during the reign of Empress Dowager Hu (note: 523 AD), the Huns broke the six Han Baling and launched an uprising, and then Ge Rong of the Xianbei tribe led a million rebel army to defeat Yuanrong, King Zhangwu, and attacked Luoyang, but was defeated by the chief of the Xiurong tribe, Er Zhurong, with eight thousand horsemen. In the third year of Emperor Xiaowu (note: 535 AD), the general Gao Huan of the Northern Wei Dynasty established Emperor Xiaojing in Yecheng as the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the general Yuwentai established Emperor Wen in Chang'an to become the Western Wei Dynasty. When the Northern Wei Dynasty was chaotic, Xiao Yan in the south destroyed the Southern Qi Dynasty and established the Liang Dynasty. ”

Long Yi looked sad: "I didn't expect the chaos outside to be like this, but it just hurt the people." Li Xin tore off a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth while chewing and said: "Fortunately, our Great Zhou has been resisting the powerful Tuyuhun in Longxi, so there is no chaos like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and now Liu Huan inherits the throne and is called King Jing of Zhou, King Jing is not as heroic and martial as his ancestors, but he still understands things, although the land is narrow, but the people under his rule can still live in peace." It's just that recently, Chen Bing Weishui of the Western Wei Dynasty had the intention to swallow my Great Zhou, but fortunately, the general Shi Muzhong led the most elite Beifu Army of the Great Zhou to defend Qinzhou, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not dare to act rashly. It's just that the western front lacks a heavy general to guard, and if the Tuyuhun and Qiang people make a slight move, I will be in danger. ”

The three of them sighed again.

After eating the whole rabbit, I felt fine, Long Yi and Meng Yanchi hugged their shoulders and wrestled, Li Xin saw that his hands were itchy and added, but neither of them had the innate divine power like Meng Yanchi, and they each stipulated that they could not use kung fu, so they naturally lost completely. After exhaustion, the three of them fell to the ground and gasped, and after a long time, the three of them jumped into the small lake to wash themselves on a whim, regardless of the cold. Changing clothes and going ashore, the cool breeze blew through the placket at night, and Long Yi felt refreshed.

Long Yi added firewood, ready to lay the quilt to bed, "......." Li Xin's eyes looked at the opposite mountain top and made a surprised sound, Long Yi looked in the direction Li Xin looked, and it turned out that there were several ethereal bonfires lit up on the top of the opposite mountain.

"It's so late, why is there still someone on the other side?" Long Yi was thoughtful.

Meng Yanchi disagreed: "We can pass by, here's not fun, others come to Daoshan to hunt at night."

Long Yi thought for a while: "Anyway, it's okay, why don't you go over and take a look, maybe it's someone from Daocheng!" ”

Meng Yanchi and Li Xin went over to take the green dragon stick and iron bow from the horses grazing by the lake, Long Yi picked up the iron sword and tied it around his waist, and then the three of them walked to the top of the opposite mountain on foot. Suddenly, a cool breeze hit, and Li Xin couldn't help but shiver: "Today's wind seems to be a little strong." ”

"yes, I feel it too." Long Yi said.

Walking all the way up, the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the stronger the wind blew, and after about half an hour, Long Yi and the three climbed to the top of the mountain, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw a gossip formation on the flat ground of the top of the mountain with a half-human high stone pillar, a bunch of flames were lit on each corner of the array, a total of ten bonfires, and a white hair flew in the center of the array, just like a Taoist priest in the sky who was too white Laojun, the Taoist had a thin face, a ruddy complexion, a white beard that reached his chest, his eyes were closed, and his mouth was full of words. This Taoist Long Yi had never seen it, and he was definitely not from the vicinity of Daocheng.

"What is this doing? Strange .......," Meng Yanchi muttered.

The white-haired old man opened his eyes and said, "Meeting the three little friends tonight can be regarded as fate, but now is the very moment to watch the sky, and the three little friends don't want to disturb the poor road." ”

Long Yi saw that the Taoist was extraordinary, so he followed the instructions of the old Taoist and pulled Li Xin and Meng Yanchi to the side and waited.

Seeing that the three of them were very cooperative, the white-haired old man nodded to Long Yi, and then closed his eyes again. After a while, the wind blew fiercely, and the ten bonfires gradually turned blue, and the originally clear sky suddenly became dark clouds rolling and surging. The white-haired old man sweats like raindrops on his ruddy face. The bright mirror-like Haoyue was slowly swallowed by a black cloud at this time, and Long Yi, the "Tengu Eating Moon", thought suddenly. The full moon in the sky was swallowed up by black clouds in an instant. The earth was plunged into a brief darkness as a violent wind rose. The white-haired Taoist looked up at the sky at this time, as if he was carefully watching everything in the sky, but his eyes were tightly closed.

After a meal, the sky was dark and cloudy, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The wind also stopped. The white-haired old man slowly opened his eyes, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's rare that the three little friends are still waiting aside, did the three little friends see something just now?" ”

Long Yi was slightly stunned, and Meng Yanchi hurriedly shouted: "The wind was so strong just now, it was like a group of ghosts howling, but my family has thick skin and meat, and I feel very cool." The white-haired Taoist laughed happily when he heard this. Li Xindao: "I just paid attention to this formation on the ground, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, this formation seems to be gossip, but it is much more mysterious, it contains the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, life and death, I feel that it should be related to the stars in the sky......" Long Yi said at this time: "This formation is called 'Ninety-Nine Tiangang Earth Evil Array', and the formation just echoes the thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two Earth Evil Stars in the sky." The Venerable Master sat in the center of the Heavenly Dome, that is, in the center of the Heavenly Dome, and must have watched the changes of the stars with the eyes of the Taoist Supreme Heart. I wonder if the kid is right? ”

The white-haired old man opened his mouth wide, looked surprised, and said: "The ancient book of the formation of the poor road has been lost for a long time, and there are probably not many people in the world who know this formation, but I don't know how Xiaoyou knows about it?" Long Yi replied: "Actually, this 'Ninety-Nine Heavenly Gang Earth Evil Array' is recorded in detail in the 'Wuhou Art of War', and it just so happens that the kid is fortunate enough to find the original copy of this book, so he knows." ”

The white-haired old man hurriedly walked up to Long Yi, looked at it for a long time and said: "Tonight, I 'first look at the Venerable' to meet the son is also considered a blessing in three lives, and there are no regrets in this life, and I will go to the poor road." After saying that, he turned and floated away, disappearing in the blink of an eye. There was a faint singing voice in the distance: "There is a dragon in Daoshan, the world moves, gathers less and partes bitterly, and the heart is affectionately planted ......"
