On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Luoyang Grottoes.

Therefore, according to legend, there is a large lake in the south of Luoyang, surrounded by green mountains and greenery, and fragrant grass. People graze cattle in the mountains, fish in the lakes, and live a peaceful life. There is a hard-working child in the village, and when he shepherds sheep from the mountains every day, he often hears a strange sound coming from the ground, "it can't be opened". When he returned home one day, he finally told his mother about it. The mother thought for a moment and told him, "If you hear a sound again, you will answer: 'Open'!" Before a sound could be heard, the sky and the earth cracked, Longmen Mountain fell open, and the raging lake poured out of the crack, rushing and roaring around Luoyang City, and flowing thousands of miles to the East China Sea. After the water flow, countless clear springs burst out from the mountain cliff stone, accumulate as a fragrant pond, pour out as a waterfall, and there are countless honeycomb-like cave ridges on the cliff walls of the two mountains, the shadows in the cave ridge are all stone statues, a thousand postures, ghostly axes. Since then, the Longmen Grottoes are not only famous all over the world, but even the sentence "the dragon gate cannot be opened" is also widely spread among the people.

Legends, believe it, don't believe it, but almost all the legends about the Luoyang Grottoes reflect the spirit of the people's diligence and simplicity, fearless of hardships and dangers, and yearning for a better life.

Luoyang Grottoes was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen, who believed in Buddhism, moved the capital at the same time, but also did not forget to transfer the development of Buddhism to Luoyang, so he organized the construction of temples, dug stone caves, and carved Buddha statues.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it is another hundred years in the blink of an eye. Now this ancient monument still exists, but the initiator of hard work, where has he gone now?

_________________________________________________

It is said that Liu Qing and Jia Yi galloped on the official road, and soon arrived near the grotto, but the road was too peaceful, that is, they did not encounter the thieves of the Luohe Gang blocking the road, and they did not hear the sound of fierce fighting, it is estimated that the war has ended, and the heroes have arrived at the Longmen Grottoes.

At that time, it was still late, and I couldn't see how the battle was going, but the battle between the Luohe Gang and thousands of heroes from all walks of life was extremely tragic.

It snowed heavily overnight and didn't stop until the fifth watch. As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the banks of the Yi River were already crowded with people, and from a distance, even the incense and Longmen Mountain were full of shadows, and people could be seen vaguely. Heavy snow covers the mountain, which is spectacular. Wrapped in silver, it adds a bit of vigor to the beautiful mountains.

Liu Qing and Jia Yi just came to Longmen West Mountain, and they saw that there were thousands of heads in front of the "Yuwang Pool", and the black pressure was overwhelming. It wasn't until they got close that they saw that everyone was covered in blood, some were bandaging their own wounds, some were burying the corpses of their comrades, and some were in a hurry, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, not knowing what they were looking for;

Seeing the current scene, Liu Qing couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "It turns out that what Zhuo Feifei said is true, the two sides really had a big conflict, but I don't know what the loss of the Luohe Gang is————?"

As for the initiator who has not yet appeared, it is just because the hour is still early, and everyone is not in a hurry. Liu Qing paid attention while walking, only to see that the "Qianxi Temple" was surrounded by water, and the "Binyang Cave" was also side by side, and even in the quiet and quiet Bai Juyi "Jiu Lao Tang" in Xiangshan, there was no shortage of gangs digging three feet into the ground to search for things.

At this time, there were really a lot of high-rollers in the rivers and lakes in strange costumes, and there were also young women and withered old people, so although Liu Qing and Jia Yi were dressed in tatters, they did not arouse too much suspicion wherever they went, and even many young people who had just set foot in the rivers and lakes saluted them with their fists and said: "It turned out to be a friend of the beggar gang, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Since your gang also came to get a piece of the pie, then we will not be bored with ourselves. Liu Qing had no choice but to smile, turned to Jia Yi and said, "We don't have pockets on our backs, so we will even be considered disciples of the Beggar Gang." Jia Yi smiled even more happily.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. At that time, the leading elder brother of the 24th Gang, 36 Villages, 72 Islands, and 108 Caves had already counted his subordinates and was looking for what they wanted. Originally, the heroes were all from all over the world, and although the leaders of each other knew each other, they rarely interacted with each other, so it was difficult to have a strong friendship. Only at the five-year "Underworld Heroes Meeting" can everyone have the opportunity to get together and discuss future plans———— the heroes of the usual road are all hosted by the 'nightmare' Black Cuckoo of the Heaven and Earth Society, but once he dies, I really don't know what kind of situation will be in the future.

Liu Qing was preoccupied, and just wanted to quickly find the senior monk of Shaolin Temple in disguise, and inform Master Wuxiang of the ins and outs of the secret letter in his arms. With the identity of the first seat of the Shaolin "Damo Academy", Wu Xiang will be able to expose the conspiracy of the bloody clothes gate in public, so that everyone will be vigilant, and quickly spread the news to the rivers and lakes to jointly destroy its ambitions. If it drags on any longer, the consequences will be unimaginable———— in fact, just as everyone expected, a huge crisis is coming.

Jia Ying saw that everyone had a sad face and acted in a hurry, so he said to Liu Qing: "Have you ever paid attention to the virtuous brother?" Liu Qing looked at the six roads with his eyes and listened to the eight directions, and he had already noticed it, and said: "Be a little careful, everyone is very busy, but somehow it is like this?" Jia Ying blinked his eyes and said, "It's not difficult, let's just ask." After saying that, he stopped a big man who was walking, hugged his fists and asked: "This eldest brother, our brother has been begging all the way, and he has just set foot in your realm, and he has not had time to ask for advice. Unexpectedly, the mountain is so lively, why are you frowning and hurrying? I hope to tell you a thing or two. ”

The big man was blocked by two people named Hanako, of course he was displeased in his heart, but he was respectful and polite when he read this beggar, and of course he couldn't lose his identity, so he said bluntly: "We are all here for the treasure of the cheats, and now this matter can't be regarded as a secret, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." The big man pointed around and continued: "They hollowed out their minds and searched the heavens and the earth, but they were just looking for Chi Qianqiu's martial arts secrets and stealing the gold and silver treasures of the sky. However, the Luoyang Grottoes cover a wide area, and the Longmen Xiangshan Mountain stretches continuously, the size of the cave niches is thousands, and there are more than tens of thousands of statues, who knows where this secret book treasure is buried?" After a pause, he continued in a muffled voice: "Hangzhou's 'Qiantang Gang' and Liaodong's 'Cloud Piercing Cave' have been here to search half a month ago, but they have not tasted results. Some people even say that the baby has already been taken away, and there is no need to work hard!" sighed and scolded, "Mommy Lamb's bastard, bad luck one after another, no, our 'Black Mountain Village' just had a fight with the Luohe Gang, and many brothers died, everyone didn't even have to breathe, and they were assigned by the boss to find treasures, and they had to be robbed of other gang heads, damn it......" finally laughed at himself: "Crazy, crazy, all fucking crazy! The Talon Gang fought over a strange-shaped stone. I see that the two little brothers are thin, so don't come to this muddy water, there are no eyes in your fists and feet, don't be nosy, let's go. He shook his hand and walked away.

When Liu Qing was at a loss, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and a person smiled: "Haha, Brother Liu came early." "Looking back, isn't it Zhuo Feifei who it is? I saw Zhuo Feifei wearing a wide head, pressing half of his face steadily, Feng Leiting also changed his dress slightly, followed by dozens of people, I think they are all second-generation disciples of the Taishan faction, there are men and women, although most of them are young, but they are heroic and sassy, full of energy, and really have the temperament of a wealthy family. Zhuo Feifei said to Liu Qing: "If it weren't for the fact that I was impressed by the person next to you, I really wouldn't have recognized Brother Liu's dress." He laughed. As for the person next to him, he naturally meant that Jia was sick.

Zhuo Feifei greeted his junior brother and sister to salute Liu Qing, and Liu Qing hurriedly returned the salute. When a female disciple heard that Liu Qing was an outstanding beautiful boy, she was looking forward to it, but she couldn't help but giggle when she heard that he had such an "ugly" appearance. Liu Qing didn't care, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhuo, where is the Wuxiang Master of the Shaolin Sect?" Zhuo Feifei frowned and said, "I'm also strange." It stands to reason that they should have arrived a long time ago. As he spoke, many heroes gathered from all directions, walked majestically towards Liu Qing, and soon surrounded the disciples of the Taishan Sect in the middle. Liu Qing secretly shouted: "Not good!" Fang was about to draw his sword, but was held down by Zhuo Feifei, only to see him smile and say: "Brother Liu, don't panic, it's your own person." Liu Qing realized that none of them had ribbons on their arms, and suddenly understood the truth. Zhuo Feifei explained: "Those gangs in the underworld have made signs in order to accidentally injure their own people. Then our people with lofty ideals in the white way simply don't care about things well. ”

After a short time, the heroes of chivalry gathered around the disciples of the Taishan faction: they included heroes from Huguang, strong men from Sichuan and Shaanxi, chivalrous warriors from the Central Plains, and even firearms masters from the "Jiangnan Perak Hall...... Most of these people are young and strong-blooded, although the north and south are thousands of miles apart, they are all desperate for a river and lake morality. Among the heroes, there are even many unknown people, but they have a clear distinction between good and evil, a promise of gold, righteousness, and a principle of doing things ———— their own, is this kind of person worthy of the word "hero"?

If we want to talk about it, there are still some well-known big men who put down their shelves and come to help: I saw that the commander of the left wing was a middle-aged man, with a radiant face and long hair, and he was the "whip of the king" Situ Kong, the head of the "Three Heroes of Xiangyang", and he was accompanied by two sworn righteous brothers, the "big cloud turning hand" Mo Ji and the "smoke and wave solitary guest" Sheng Chunchao; the leader of the right wing was the "Four Masters of Guanzhong": "Meng Zhiqiu", "the sword breaks through the sky" Guan Rufeng, "the sword determines the universe" Sheng Wanli, and "the magic calculation" Zhuge Mingda; The great sages in front of him are really more promising———— the first position of the "Central Plains Seven Righteousness" "Iron Courage Silver Gun" Zhao Wuji Zhao Uncle, the "Scattered Family Wealth" Qian Mantian Qian Second Master, the "Zixia Divine Palm" Wei Buqun Wei Sanye, the "Phantom Twin Halberd" Lu Yanzan Lu Wuye, the "Power to Carry the Ding" Chen Yuanba Chen Liuye, the "Crescent Flying Hammer" Meng Lanxiang Meng Qiniang———— except for the highest martial arts, the unpredictable "Chopsticks Divine Skill" Liu Liu Siye, all present at the scene; as for the head of the palace, it is a heroine among women, the young master of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall"Little Thor" Shen Bixiao. Among the heroes, only the masters of the Shaolin and Songshan factions were missing, and they didn't know what happened to them.

Liu Qing saw that many of the chivalrous people were scarred and their sores had not yet healed, so he guessed that they had also joined the melee before and worked together to kill the Luohe Gang. I feel ashamed that I didn't do my part. But Liu Qing didn't know it at that time, and she was helpless.

Zhao Wuji smiled and patted Zhuo Feifei's shoulder, and said, "Is the master okay?" Zhuo Feifei hugged his fists and said: "There are seniors who are worried, and the family teacher has always been fine." Polite words were immediately spoken. When Zhao Wuji saw Liu Qing and Jia Ai, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Are they ......" Zhuo Feifei and Liu Qing looked at each other, knowing that it was inconvenient for him to reveal his true name, so he said euphemistically: "These two are my new friends on the road, and they can be trusted." Zhao Wuji nodded and said no more.

Just as the chivalrous heroes were slowly gathering, the leading brother of the underworld forces noticed that the situation was wrong, so he hurriedly gathered people and horses to quickly merge, and after a while, two camps were formed.

Although the "collective" group of 24 gangs, 36 villages, 72 islands, and 108 holes has no leader and is scattered, there are always many people. According to the calculation of 20 people from each gang, cottage, island, and cave, the total number is as high as more than 1,000, but the chivalrous way is only more than 100 people, and the disparity is obvious.

I saw the leader of the "Skeleton Gang" tied with a yellow ribbon, the "one-eyed dragon" Pan Shitao blinked his eyes, and took the lead in speaking: "What's the matter? The friends on the other side huddle together to keep warm, do you have to celebrate the New Year here?" As soon as the words fell, the people in their own camp burst into laughter; and listened to the owner of the Sichuan "Bule Village" with a blue ribbon, "killing his wife and begging for a general" The ghost saw the sorrow and sneered: "Turtle son, our 'Bule Village' likes to find it the most, the immortal Banban, you are nosy and eat fart, don't ask for hardship and eat well." Suddenly, I heard the sound ————of "haha", which was deafening, and the people present all thought that "what a strong internal force!" Fan eats human flesh while laughing: "Delicious, delicious, human flesh is the best!" Many people changed color and became afraid.

Situ Kong shouted and scolded, threw a bloody human head, and then volleyed into the air and stood between the two sides. Situ Kong pointed to the head and said sharply: "This is the head of Shi Ao, the leader of the Luohe Gang. It is a miracle to help us to jointly exterminate the Luohe Gang and eliminate harm for the people. Thinking of this, I don't care about your gaffes, as long as you wait to keep to yourself, we will definitely not be in trouble, ......otherwise, "Luck enough internal strength, a false split, the palm wind is like a bamboo, and Shi Ao's head is split in half, and he said angrily: "Otherwise, this is the end!" The crowd cheered in unison, and even the characters in the underworld were moved. Liu Qingxin said: "It turns out that Shi Ao is dead, and the Luohe Gang is even more damaged, and the trees are falling and scattered. Then the revenge of the old hero Wu should be regarded as revenge. ”

Suddenly, I saw a stunning beauty with delicate facial features, and her waist walked out of the underworld. In such a cold and freezing weather, she only wore a close-fitting tightsuit as thin as a cicada's wings, showing her plump figure even better. It turned out that she was the owner of the "Soul Hook Cave", and the "Spider Widow" was charming.

Her charming eyes were like silk, and she patted her chest and said, "Yo, Lord Sikong has frightened the slave family." The slave family is hungry and thirsty now, can you accompany me to the inn for a drink?" Situ Kong turned his head and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. A female disciple of the Taishan faction was even more red-faced, and secretly scolded: "Shameless!"

Everyone doesn't talk speculatively, not to mention that good and evil are not mutually exclusive, seeing that a vicious fight is inevitable, at this time, a faltering old man slowly walked out, he is the big boss of the "Sun and Moon Gang" "Chameleon Worm" Qin Song. The Sun and Moon Gang is as powerful as the sky, and they have a lot of power to speak on the road. Qin Song is not only highly qualified, but also fair, so everyone buys him. As soon as he appeared at this moment, the heroes in the underworld all closed their mouths.

I saw Qin Song lit the cigarette pipe, slowly exhaled a long breath, and saluted the heroes, before saying: "Uncle Yang, Situ Daxia, heroes, heroes from all walks of life, our Sun and Moon Gang has no complaints with you in the past, and today is not worried, and we live a life of well water and no river water on the rivers and lakes. How about everyone taking a step back?"

When the two sides were in a stalemate, they heard a melodious sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, which penetrated into the spleen and lungs, as ingenious as mountains and flowing water, as light as the wind passing through the mountains, and the sudden and noisy cutting sound continued, and suddenly and gently and gently and softly. It's not a big sound, but it has a magical power that everyone can hear. What's going on here?

Where did this rhythm come from, and was it the initiator's suspicious plan? What exactly was the plot of the Bloody Clothes Gate? Where did the masters of the Shaolin and Songshan factions go? What kind of actions would the six doors that were planted in the Yazi period take action? Things seem to be getting more and more confusing......

Exactly: winning or losing, and fighting for people's calculations. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to know what happens next, and let's see the next breakdown.
