Records of modern dartists

400 years ago.

June [-]rd, summer solstice, cloudy.

A mighty bodyguard team was walking among the high mountains, the bodyguard flags fluttered in the wind, and wrote four vigorous characters "I Wu Weiyang", and the sound of "Hewu" pierced the sky with the sound of gongs and drums, and the birds fluttered out in fright. Fly around.

Lu Xiuwu straddled a white-fronted black-maned pony and walked in the middle of the team.When it was nearly halfway through the mouth of the valley, the big man with the horn at the front suddenly changed his tone, dragged the word "he" for a long time, and sang "Phoenix Three Nods" three times, Lu Xiuwu knew it was With the "evil tiger blocking the way", with a wave of his hand, the entire bodyguard team stopped in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, a big guy shouted from afar: "Hey, the wild goose is messing around, hey, hey, me*1." This is a spring code (code word) commonly used by old friends (friends in the rivers and lakes), which means There are villains.Lu Xiuwu kicked the horse's belly with his foot, pushed aside the crowd, and came to the front.

I saw a big rock that was not round or square blocked the valley mouth that could accommodate two cars, just blocking the road to death.Who is Lu Xiuwu? Since he dared to call this provocative "Mighty Bodyguard", he deliberately used his name of Taiyuan Lu Family Yangwei Bodyguard Bureau to suppress these heroes in the mountains and wild rivers and lakes, so seeing this He didn't get off the horse either, just straightened his waist, sat on the horse and cupped his hands far away: "The head of the family has worked so hard, I am going down to Taiyuan to show off Lu Xiuwu, passing through the precious treasure land, please get out of the way with the head of the house and all your friends, don't get in the way."

Lu Xiuwu's words are called "putting down the brand". Generally, when a bodyguard who walks a bodyguard meets a hero from the green forest, it is inevitable to have a spring festival and find out the details of each other. The name of the Lu family in Taiyuan is a well-known golden signboard in the world. A hero doesn't give face, so he put down the sign at this time, just to ask the other party to get out of the way quickly.

Unexpectedly, his words went on, but there was no echo in the opposite valley.Lu Xiuwu raised his brows half-raised, calmly winked at Hu Ming, the deputy head of the bodyguard, and urged the horse to take two steps forward: "Listen, I am a friend on the road, and you are Brother Lvlin. You are in the forest, and I am outside the forest. They are all one family. If you don’t see me in front of the mountain, I will see you in the back of the mountain. I call you a friend today because of my loyalty. If you want to mess around here, don’t blame the brothers for opening the door to welcome guests. , Lost manners*2!"

These words are much more serious than what you said just now, meaning that if you are willing to step aside now, you will still be treated as a friend, otherwise you will be impolite.Speaking of this, it is time to prepare to fight, so Hu Ming has already ordered to "turn the wheel" and ask his brothers to gather up the bodyguards, and the copycats are going to do it.All of a sudden, all the bodyguards of the Yangwei Escort Bureau dispersed their formation one after another, their knives were knives, their guns were like guns, and they shouted in unison: "Hey, Hey, Hey!" Echoes echoed from the valley, how majestic.

A gust of mountain wind blew slowly from the mouth of the valley, and a gravel-like thing that came from nowhere could not stand the wind, and rolled down "gululu", across the ditch and cracks all the way, and fell to the bottom, just blocking the way there After bouncing on the boulder, it finally hit the bottom, and with a bang, a large cloud of white smoke burst out!

"There is an ambush!" Lu Xiuwu immediately reined in his horse and retreated, but in an instant, the surrounding area was filled with billowing white mist.Lu Xiuwu heard Hu Ming and his big buddy Hu Quan yelling loudly behind him to shrink the formation and take care of the goods, and soon there was another sharp whistle, one long and one short two pauses, followed by three long whistles, That was the gap to guide Lu Xiuwu to retreat.The pony under Lu Xiuwu's crotch is a good horse in the prime of life, and it has been born and died with him before, so it is not easy to be startled, it is strange to say, but at this moment it is restlessly pawing the ground with its front hooves, faintly unwilling to obey orders trend.

Lu Xiuwu had no choice but to get off his horse and go back.The dense fog obscures people's sight, and also makes the sense of direction and distance lost together, but at the same time, it magnifies many other things.Lu Xiuwu heard a very strange sound faintly coming from the mist not far away, like the "wheezing" sound of a beast exhaling.He pulled out his portable sword with a "choke", and carefully searched while stepping back.

All around was the sound of extremely tense breathing, and at this moment, all bodyguards were fully prepared to guard against unknown enemies.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the valley, and the mist was split into two, and a narrow road was forcibly "broken" from the middle.Lu Xiuwu turned his head and found that he had deviated a little distance from the main force, and because of this, he had the closest contact with that thing.

"Oh my god, what's that!" Someone yelled in half-shock and half-panic, and a "monster" suddenly stopped on a rock not far from directly in front of Lu Xiuwu. The "monster" was at least ten feet long. It stood on all fours, its neck was covered with a flame-colored mane, its body was covered with scales and armor, and it stared at a pair of big golden copper bell eyes.

Lu Xiuwu was the closest to that thing, and also the most dangerous, Hu Ming shouted anxiously from behind: "Quickly cover the young master and withdraw!" The two bodyguards woke up like a dream, and wanted to go forward to snatch people, but they saw the thing All of a sudden, he lowered his body, opened his bloody mouth wide, and rushed towards Lu Xiuwu with sparks splashing all over his body, but there was a "Dang" sound, which was the sound of Lu Xiuwu's sword colliding with the monster's claws. The soles of the monster's feet are so hard that they are made of gold and stone.

"Wow!" Someone behind him exclaimed, and the monster jumped past Lu Xiuwu and jumped straight into the crowd.Even the experienced veterans of the Yangwei Escort Bureau couldn't help being confused at this time. The bodyguards waved their weapons to drive the monster away. However, despite the monster's size, its movements were very light. With a lunge to the left and a dodge to the right, he broke into the circle surrounded by the escort chariot very quickly.

"Guard! Hurry up!" Lu Xiuwu saw Mingtang, and quickly shouted loudly. He jumped up and slashed at the monster with his sword, and fought with it in an instant.

Lu Xiuwu became famous in the first battle at the age of 14, and his abilities are really high-strength. However, that monster is by no means comparable to ordinary beasts. Its fingers and claws are sharp and powerful, and it seems to be human. Lu Xiuwu fought with it for a while and gradually fell When the wind was at a disadvantage, an inadvertent one was trampled under its feet.Seeing that the monster was about to shatter Lu Xiuwu's head with its claws, there was a clear whistle in the wind, and the monster's heavy claws hovered in the air and stopped. It glanced at Lu Xiuwu at a very close distance, and then suddenly Leaping back, with a very strange posture, he climbed up the cliff lightly and backwards, and reached the top of the cliff in a short while.

I don't know who exclaimed: "There is someone on the top of the cliff!"

Lu Xiuwu was lying on the ground, still in shock, but he saw a woman dressed in white and holding a clean bottle of poplar branches looming on the cliff, amidst the erratic clouds and mist, that was...

"Master Cihang*3! It's Master Cihang!" one person exclaimed, followed by everyone kneeling down with a "plop", bowing down to this supreme Taoist golden fairy.I saw the illusory golden fairy leisurely stretching out her hand to caress the top of the monster's head (presumably it was the golden-haired lion's roar on Master Cihang's mount), then she raised her hand and pointed at the monster. With the next finger, with another gust of wind blowing, the mist cleared, and the Jurchen and the lion's roar suddenly disappeared.

Some of the bodyguards knelt on the ground and kept prostrating, chanting words, begging the master to forgive their usual sins, only Lu Xiuwu's face changed drastically.He got up and looked back at Hu Ming, but saw that his face was also full of shock.Lu Xiuwu secretly made a downward gesture, and said in a loud voice: "Why are you in a daze, cheer me up quickly, the escort team gathers, counts the wounded and everything, Dahei and Mazi go ahead to explore the way, the third child , Lao Wu and his fellows were on guard, and Hu Quan took the firecracker and gave it to me."

It was the 27th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. Since Chengzu learned the magic machine gun method and set up the Shenji battalion, firearms have become an indispensable and important armament weapon for the Ming army.Although it is rare for the folks to obtain this artifact, with the status of Yangwei Escort and the relationship in the palace, there are two bird-head guns that were eliminated earlier, and this dart is really crucial. Then his father specially invited this baby out.The sudden appearance and disappearance of the monster and the Jurchen just now was shocking, but for Lu Xiuwu, it was her last finger that really shocked him.It's just such a thing who doesn't know where it came from, and who doesn't know whether it's a human or a ghost, but it stands on a high cliff far away, clearly pointing out the location of the treasure that was actually escorted in all the escort cars during the entire trip. !

Note 3: Master Cihang, also known as Cihang Taoist, is a Taoist Jurchen. After Buddhism was introduced to China, due to the tendency of the integration of the three religions, the two major religions of Buddhism and Taoism often regard each other's gods as their own gods tendency.Chinese folks generally equate Daoist Cihang with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.But according to Taoism, the real Cihang is the original Jurchen, while the Buddhist Avalokitesvara was practiced in a man's body from the beginning.Furthermore, according to the "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties", the real person Cihang got the Tao in the Shang Dynasty. --Baidu Encyclopedia
