85

On this day, the wind is refreshing, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is a rare good day in late autumn.

Long Zixi got up in the morning to move his body, and found that Lu Shuyang's herbs were really effective, and the injury had mostly healed.

After breakfast, Lu Shuyang said:

"It's a good day today, you might as well take a look at the mountain scenery with the old man. How is it? ”

There is no reason for everyone not to follow.

He left the old slave and a few strong martial arts soldiers to guard the water cave, and the rest of the people climbed up the mountain with him.

But seeing that the mountain was very steep, it was a great scenery, and everyone admired it while looking at it.

After the journey, everyone stopped in an open place.

Lu Shuyang pointed to a flat place on the top of the mountain in the distance and said to Longzi West:

"Did you see it?

"That is Lu Wangding, which is the highest place on this mountain.

It is said that the ancestor of the old man, Jiang Taigong, lived in seclusion on this mountain before he met King Wen, where he stopped and looked at it from afar, sighing that Shaohua was fleeting, and hating ambition was difficult to pay.

"This is also the reason why this mountain was changed to Lugong Mountain by the old man."

Speaking of this section, imagining the scene of the ancestors climbing the mountain and looking into the distance, Lu Shuyang is full of infinite affection.

Longzi West Road:

"Legend has it that the Taigong is eighty years old, and he is an old man with great ambitions. When he thought of his old man's old man, he could see the mountains at a glance, what a kind of courage it was! ”

Lu Shuyang suddenly smiled:

"How about the old man accompany the virtuous nephew to take a look?"

Longzi West Road:

"It's rare for a stepfather to have this Yaxing, how dare the child disobey?"

Lu Shuyang laughed when he heard that he was called father and son again, and suddenly jumped forward.

Long Zixi immediately hurried over.

Hua Dining knew that Long Zixi's injuries had not healed, and he was going to ask him to be careful, but where was the time?

Everyone saw that the two of them had jumped out of the three zhang in a blink of an eye, and they thought that their light skills were incomparable, so they simply stood in place and watched the two of them perform light skills.

Although Lu Shuyang is over sixty years old, he is still good at light work.

I saw him walking like flying, running and running, and suddenly jumped up to the tree, only to hear the sound of "whooshing" leaves, and he was already stepping on the leaves, just like flying in the sky.

Long Zixi secretly admired himself, but it was the young man's competitive heart.

He jumped up at the moment, but he leaned forward with the help of the trunk of the tree.

The two of them are one on top and one on the bottom, although their bodies are different, they both show wonderful light skills.

Everyone had never seen such a skill, and they were already stunned, and when they saw the two disappear into the depths of the dense forest, they applauded greatly.

86

After a while, the two of them went to Lu Wangding almost at the same time.

Lu Shuyang laughed, held Long Zixi's hand and said:

"The virtuous nephew really didn't disappoint the old man! Good! Good! ”

The two looked around, but saw that the mountains were stacked, the peaks and loops turned, the villages in the distance were dotted, the clouds and mist under their feet were shrouded, and the scenery was even more different.

Long Zixi couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"It's a pity that the lives of the common people are a little harder. If the old man is reborn, he will be able to save all the people from fire and water! ”

Lu Shuyang also sighed:

"The virtuous nephew is right.

"Taigong not only uses soldiers like gods, but also loves the people like sons, and governs the country well.

"After King Wu destroyed Shang, Taigong was the first to be crowned as the number one meritorious hero, and was sealed in Yingqiu, which is now Qidi.

"At that time, the world was initially decided, the people's hearts were not attached, and although there were fiefs, they needed to govern themselves.

"Taigong cultivates Taoism, respects the virtuous and wise, still has merit, has no virtue, and regulates the land to the hearts of the people, and is becoming stronger and stronger.

"Who is there in the world after that who is like him?

"Everyone takes the "Taigong Art of War" as a treasure, but how do they know that "Strategy" and "Words" are even better strategies for governing the world?"

Long Zixi listened to Lu Shuyang's statement, and his heart was moved.

Secretly, he is just in time for the princess, and he is already satisfied.

After a long time, Lu Shuyang suddenly said:

"Does the virtuous nephew know? The old man asked you to come up, but it wasn't all for the sake of the scenery. ”

Longzi West Road:

"What advice did the seniors have? Despite the commands. ”

Lu Shuyang sighed and said:

It is the "Taigong Art of War" that the old man has never been at ease.

"Presumably, the virtuous nephew has also seen that those two brutes are not only unbearable in martial arts, but also vulgar and unambitious.

"The old man is only afraid that the art of war will give them which one of them, so they will be despised by them in the world and harm the world.

"Only by putting the art of war in the hands of an upright man can the old man be reassured.

"I wonder if the virtuous nephew is willing to keep it on behalf of the old man, so that this ancient treasure can meet its owner in the future?"

Long Zixi never expected Lu Shuyang to have this idea, so he was stunned for a moment and did not answer. After thinking about it, he said:

"The seniors value the juniors so much, which makes the juniors very moved.

"It's just that the younger generation is just a martial artist, and he doesn't understand the affairs of the country, so he really has no confidence in knowing people, and he is afraid that he will miss a big thing.

"The younger generation heard that Shen Hou is wise and martial, why not hand over the art of war to him, it will be of great use!"

Lu Shuyang shook his head:

"It's okay for others, this Shen Hou, hum, but the art of war can't be given to him no matter what!"

Long Zixi was puzzled, and was wondering to himself, listening to Lu Shuyang continue:

"The old man knows this sign best.

"This person is brave and brave, wise is wise, but he is narrow-minded and can't stand grievances.

Long Zixi didn't expect Lu Shuyang's evaluation of Shen Hou to be like this, and he was even more puzzled.

But I heard Lu Shuyang continue:

This Shen Hou has long coveted the art of war, and I don't know how he knew that this art of war was in the hands of the old man, but instead of asking for it directly, he thought of a crooked idea.

"It was more than ten years ago, and he brought two people, the two of them who came to me, obviously to visit old friends, but secretly for the art of war.

He proposed to play chess with the old man, and if he won, he would have the art of war.

"As a result, he won one game in each of the first two sets with the old man.

In the third game, the old man had the advantage and was about to win, but he asked the water who was watching the chess next to him to deliberately spill the tea on the chessboard.

"The man surnamed Shui knows what the master means, and he messes up the chess game by wiping the water, but how can he recover?

"This game has to be closed."

Long Zixi listened, imagined the scene back then, and said in his heart:

This is also considered to be in a hurry, but it is inevitable that there will be a loss of grace.

Lu Shuyang continued:

"And that's not all.

He saw that it was difficult to win against the old man in chess, so he proposed to let the two of them compete with the old man, and whoever won would have the art of war.

"How can the old man be afraid?

"I ended up with anger and put the two of him right.

"The old man won the surname Shui first, and then fought with the surname Huo.

"The surname fire is really powerful, and the old man consumed a lot of physical strength when he won the surname water, and as a result, he fought the lily and was slapped by the person surnamed Huo, although the injury was not serious, it was also good to raise it for more than a month."

Of course, Long Zixi knew that Lu Shuyang lost but did not hand over the art of war, so he didn't ask much, and listened to Lu Shuyang explain the reason:

"Of course, Shen Hou forced me to surrender the art of war.

But it was the old man's way, if it wasn't for the old man's words and no faith, the old man would lose and not be convinced.

The old man proposed that after healing his injuries, he would compare himself with the one surnamed Huo.

"How can Shen Hou agree?

The two quarreled and had a very unpleasant quarrel.

For the sake of his reputation, Shen Hou didn't rob it, so he went down the mountain in a huff.

"I haven't been here since, I guess I hate the old man deeply!"

Long Zixi only understood completely after listening.

Unexpectedly, there is such a twist and turn!

I didn't expect that the "Five Elements" had something to do with Shen Hou.

Seeing that Miss Tian asked me to find the "Taigong Art of War", could it be that she was doing this for Shen Hou?

In this way, what is the relationship between Miss Tian and Shen Hou?

Seeing him hesitating, Lu Shuyang only said that he was jealous of the Lu brothers, and said:

"Does the virtuous nephew have any concerns about the old man's two brutes?

"First, the two of them are not bad-hearted, and they admire the virtuous nephew so much, if they know that the art of war is kept by the virtuous nephew, they will never dare to fight.

"Both, the old man recognizes the virtuous nephew as the son, it is precisely for this art of war, although the virtuous nephew is the righteous son, but the father passes on the son, which is also justified."

Only then did Long Zixi understand Lu Shuyang's good intentions, and he couldn't help but be greatly moved, but he finally felt ashamed of it, and said:

"The younger generation doesn't care about anything else, it's just that the gentleman doesn't plunder the beauty of others. It's ......."

I feel that Lu Shuyang is full of Dan, he is only afraid that the art of war will be used by bad people, and he wants to pass on to reliable people, such a broad mind is really touching.

It's just that if you have received the art of war, you will inevitably give it to Miss Tian, and Miss Tian is a Shen person, and the Eight Achievements will be dedicated to Shen Hou.

In this way, isn't it against the original intention of the old Lu senior's art of war that it must not be handed over to Shen Hou?

But how is it good?

Long Zixi is open-minded, so he has this concern.

Lu Shuyang didn't think about it so much, and said:

"Nephew, please listen to me again.

"Although this art of war was created by the old man's ancestors, it is a thing in the world, and it was not owned by the old man's family.

"The virtuous nephew can do this, it is for the sake of the common people in the world, and it is also for the sake of the safety of this treasure.

"The old man is over the age of six, how much can he live again?

"Is the virtuous nephew willing to let this treasure fall into the hands of a traitor?"

When Long Zixi heard him say this, he said in his heart:

Maybe Miss Tian has nothing to do with Shen Hou.

Anyway, it was entrusted by Miss Tian, and I only made this wish for Miss Tian, and I couldn't take care of the rest. Sidewalk:

"In this way, it is better for the little nephew to be respectful than to obey his fate."

Lu Shuyang was overjoyed and said in a loud voice:

"Good, good! Let's go down the mountain, and the old man will talk to him. ”

This time, the two held hands with each other, talked and laughed, and slowly walked down the mountain road.

Look at the place where I was about to jump to the top of the mountain just now, and suddenly I heard someone crying out miserably:

"Sir!"

Because it was in the mountains, the sound was obviously coming from far away.

87

said that Lu Shuyang heard someone screaming "master" and shouted: "It's not good! "Let go of Long Zixi and jump down the mountain with all his might.

Long Zixi followed, but because his injuries had not healed, he had been running all the way just now, and his physical strength had not recovered, and he was left behind by more than ten steps.

The two of them ran to the place where everyone was waiting, but there was nothing unusual.

The people who were waiting here had apparently heard the cry and were puzzled.

Suddenly, the shout came again, but much closer than before.

Then there was the sound of running, and the sound of someone falling.

The crowd immediately rushed to meet the sound.

After running less than a dozen feet, I saw a family member fall on the hillside in front of him, rolling and dodging, and twenty or thirty black-clothed masked men were swinging knives and slashing.

Everyone didn't think much about it, they rushed head-on, and they had already fought with the man in black.

As soon as Long Zixi fought with the enemy, he knew that these people were strong in martial arts, and they were by no means ordinary people.

I can't help but think while fighting, where did so many hard hands come from?

Although the number of people on both sides is about the same, there are only two masters on Long Zixi's side, he and Lu Shuyang, and the other party is strong in martial arts.

Rao is Longzi's western martial arts are extremely high, but he is an enemy, and he has to take care of Hua Dining and the Lu brothers from time to time, plus his injuries have not healed, and he has been fighting for a while.

In the middle of the fight, another man in black rushed up the mountain and shouted:

"The master has already succeeded, don't entangle, go quickly!"

The men ran down the mountain.

How did the two enemies of Long Zixi get out?

When he was a little distracted, he was already knocked to the ground by Long Zixi.

The rest of the men in black didn't care about their companions, but just ran down the mountain.

Lu Shuyang shouted:

"Don't go!"

Lead the crowd in hot pursuit.

Those people in black are walking like flying, where can they catch up for a while?

Just as he was in a hurry, more than two dozen black-clothed masked men suddenly poured out in front of him, but they were all wielding bows and arrows.

When the black-clothed men saw someone chasing down the mountain, they let their accomplices stand or kneel at the moment, bend their bows and arrows, and dozens of arrows "swish" towards them.

When Long Zixi heard the sound of the arrow, he knew that the power was very great.

Shouting at the moment:

"Everyone, be careful!"

With a wave of the long sword, several arrows were knocked to the ground.

Rao is like this, and there are still three family members on his side who were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

Several people rushed towards the man in black, and a row of arrows came at their heads.

Long Zixi and Lu Shuyang stood in the way.

Long Zixi swung his sword, Lu Shuyang danced the sleeves of his robe, although he blocked seven or eight arrows, but he heard a "sigh" behind him, but it was Lu Yixiang who was hit by an arrow.

Lu Shuyang thought about his son, and was about to go back to the rescue, when he saw an arrow shooting at Lu Zidan, he swung out his right robe at the moment, and just caught the arrow, but he was completely exposed, and he fell to the ground with an arrow in the morning.

Long Zixi was furious, wielding a sword in his right hand and striking an arrow, and his left hand had already touched out five bone darts and hit the man in black.

Hearing a series of screams, the three men in black rolled over and fell to the ground.

Long Zixi has already succeeded, and no longer allow it to be empty, five darts flew out, and a few people screamed in the darts.

Seeing that Long Zixi was extremely brave and the dart did not miss, the other party couldn't help but be horrified, and with a whistle, they retreated one after another.

Everyone didn't chase after them, and hurried to see the Lu family's father and son.

But seeing that Lu Yixiang's arrow was in his leg, there was no big problem, but Lu Shuyang had an arrow into his left chest, blood gushing like a spring, and his injuries were serious.

Lu Zidan tore off his sleeves early to bandage his father's wounds.

Lu Shuyang covered his chest with his left hand, pushed Zidan away with his right hand, and said hurriedly:

"Quick, go see the art of war!"

Hua Dining carried Lu Shuyang on his back, Lu Zidan supported Lu Yixiang, and Long Zixi was on guard after breaking his sword, and they all ran down the mountain.

When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I saw three family members lying outside the cave.

The crowd didn't care about it, and rushed into the cave together.

But I saw that the old slave was killed on the side of the stone table, and a large stone on one side of the cave wall had been removed, revealing a small hole, but it was empty!

When Lu Shuyang saw this, his face changed greatly, he held Long Zixi's hand tightly, and said intermittently:

"Virtuous ...... Virtuous nephew, a ...... Be sure to find ...... The Art of War......"

After finishing speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out and passed away suddenly.
