After entering the martial arts world to search for revenge, the dragon gate was once again drenched in hot blood.

Before we get back to our book, let's take a look at the human nature of the place where the story is going to happen — the Longmen Grottoes: a bit of regret, a bit of nostalgia.

Longmen's cave

Longmen Grottoes is about 1 km long in the north and south, there are more than 1,300 caves, 2345 niches, more than 3,600 inscriptions and inscriptions, more than 50 pagodas and 97,000 Buddha statues. Among them, the most representative are the Guyang Cave, Binyang Cave, Lotus Cave, Medicinal Cave and the Tang Dynasty's Hidden Creek Temple, Seiji Temple, Wanfu Cave, Fengxian Temple, Wanwu Buddha Cave, etc. The caves excavated by the North Wei were all concentrated in the West Mountain, while the caves excavated by the Tang Dynasty were scattered in the West Mountain and the East Mountain.

Fengxian Temple

The original name of the place was the Great Lucerne Elephant Cave, 35 meters in the north and 35 meters in the south, 39 meters in the east and 9 meters in the west. It was the largest and most representative open-air Buddhist shrine in the Longmen Stone Cave, which was excavated during the Wu Zetian era of the Tang Dynasty and took four years. This cave is the most typical Tang cave, showing the high achievement of the sculpture art of ShengTang. The 17.14 metre tall main Flushenavo sat upright in the center of the cave, dignified and magnanimous, simple and honest, bearing all exuded the calmness and magnanimity of Tang Dynasty. The statues in the entire cave were a perfect art form, whether it was the Buddha or the disciples' statues, Bodhisattvas, King of Heavens, or Hercules, they were all vivid and lifelike. Vajra is a rare treasure, rough shape, bold and powerful, its imposing aura is unforgettable.

Three Caves of Binyang

It includes three caves: the south cave, the middle cave and the north cave, which are the most typical of the three caves in Longmen's grotto. The central cave of Bingyang is the crown of three caves, it has been 24 years and more than 800,000 years of work. The entire cave is complete and magnificent, while the main statue of Buddha, Buddha, sits on the wall and has two Bodhisattvas, two disciples and two Bodhisattvas, with one Bodhisattva and two Bodhisattvas standing on the north and south walls. Buddha and Bodhisattva are slender in stature, mild in expression and lively in spirit. They have obvious traces of art in the Western Regions and are the typical representative of the "elegant bones and light images" of the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty. On the ground, the lotus flower pattern decorates, indicating the lotus pond, and the immortal fairy carved on the ceiling of the cave is also very soul-stirring. The South Cave of Binyang was excavated by the Northern Wei and completed by the Sui Dynasty. Chief Buddha Amitabha face rich, thick lips, natural, smooth lines. Renovation of the statue of Northern Wei Jian Zhuang Xianwei, the lower Tang Dynasty lively, belonging to the excessive period of style. The Northern Cave of Binyang was started in the Northern Wei Dynasty and completed in the first year of Tang Dynasty. The "dragon head" column foundation on both sides of the hole is the same style as the pillar foundation excavated from Sima Jinlong's tomb in Datong North Wei. It is a work completed by the Northern Wei.

Gu Yang Cave

The natural cave is the earliest and most abundant cave in Longmen's grotto. It is also the most complete one preserved at the southern end of Longmen's Western Mountain. The main Buddha in the cave had a delicate image, while the two Bodhisattvas on the left and right were quiet and solemn. The alcoves on the walls of the south and north of the city were mostly constructed with the wishful thinking of the generals of the Xiao Wen Emperor during his campaign. In addition to the carving of the shrine, the fine objects in the cave included a set of relief paintings and an inscription. The set of relief paintings detailed the legendary stories of Shakamuni, and the inscription of the names, dates, and reasons of the sculptors was a valuable material for the study of the calligraphy of the North Wei and the art of carving. The most representative of the calligraphy of the Wei was the "Dragon Gate 20", which was found in the Gouyang Cave (another in the Fragrance Cave), and especially the "Shi Ping Gong Ji" on the north wall, which created the style of the Northern Wei, which was the first treasure of the "Dragon Gate 20". To calligraphy lovers, this place was definitely a treasure trove of nostalgia.

Wanfu Cave

A hole in the south side of Bingyang Cave was named for its fifteen thousand small Buddhist statues. Entering the cave was like entering the world of Buddha, many of the statues were only an inch or a few centimeters tall. On the south wall, there was a painting of Guan Yin. It had a round face, a full body, a slight twist of the body, and beautiful curves. It was both reserved and dignified, and was the best in the construction of the Longmen statue.

lotus cave

From the year of Xiao Chang of the Northern Wei Dynasty (525-527), one could see an exceptionally beautiful giant lotus flower when one looked up – the Lotus Cave was named for this, and its flying lines around the lotus were concise and beautiful. On the south wall, there is only 2 centimeters high little Qian Fu, fine carving, vivid modeling, watching suddenly, also real and illusory.

The prescription hole was named because 140 prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine were carved on both sides of the hole. The top of the cave was carved with three major lotus flowers from the Northern Qi Dynasty, surrounded by four kasuki and five statues and lions.

Bashi East Road Town Courtyard.

"Jane!" Lord Ye came to Ye Jiazhen's side and comforted him, "Sky Pavilion's corpse has already been buried for half a month, you should take your time now. He couldn't just stay in the house and be quiet all day, right? "How can you make a father feel at ease?"

"Father!" "You said it, just let me be quiet!" Ye Jiazhen seemed to be begging.

"Ai!" Lord Ye could not help but shake his head and sigh. Just as he was about to leave, Vice Envoy Gao, General Feng and the other three walked in.

"Lord Ye! Madam Chou! " Vice Envoy Gao spoke first, "We five have come specially to bid you two farewell!"

"What?" You all are leaving! " The Lord Ye asked in shock.

"Yes!" The Vengeance General had been properly buried in his hometown, and his wife had safely returned to her hometown. Now that a nation is in a difficult position, as soldiers, we should quickly throw ourselves into the war to protect our country, so the five of us must do what we need to do! "

"Vice Envoy Gao!" Ye Jiazhen could not help but stand up and say, "The Vengeance General is no longer in the world, where are you going now?"

"Madam Chou!" Vice Ambassador Gao answered immediately, "It is because of the matter of the Vengeance General that we have to re-enter the martial arts world and resolve to avenge the Vengeance General! Furthermore, we also heard that the traitor Lin Keduo has led the rest of us into the Luoyang, so we five of us need to rush straight to the Dongdu during this trip. "

"Do you have to go?" Lord Ye asked with a tinge of mercy as he stood at the side.

"Yes!" We must join the army! "

"Alright!" Lord Ye said helplessly, "Since all of you are determined to leave, I also don't want to say anything more. I just want to tell you that the road to Luoyang is very long, and I hope that you can be careful on the way. "

"Thank you, Old Master!" We'll be taking our leave! "

"Wait! "Also..." Lord Ye could not help but step forward to hold onto Vice-Envoy Gao's hand and said, "I still have something I need to ask of you five."

"Please speak, Lord Ye! As long as we can do it, even if we have to go through fire and water, we won't refuse! "

"Alright!" Lord Ye could not help but pat Vice Envoy Gao's hands and said, "I believe you. "What I am worried about is my second time leading my sworn brother to search for revenge in the martial arts world. I hope that you will meet again in the future. You should take care of each other!"

"Old Master, don't worry!" Deputy Envoy couldn't help but clasp his fist and said, "With regards to your request, we will die for sure." Please wait! Madam Chou, please wait! The five of us will take our leave now! "

With that, Vice-Envoy Gao and the other five left and began their journey in the martial arts world. It was the twenty-first of July.

The words "Shu Dong Six Xiong", "Wu Jiao of the Lushan", "Three Swords of Tianshan", and the other fourteen people, since they went their separate ways in Gui Zhou, along with Madam Chou and Vice-Envoy Gao, had all gone back to Bao Ping Village in Xing Shan County, Wang Zhao Jun's hometown, and then passed Shen Nong Jia, all the way to the Wu Dang Mountain. They had also seen the cruel traces of war, which caused them to involuntarily recall the miserable scene of the great chaos in Jing Province. But what could they do about the cruel fact that had happened? Furthermore, they had the heavy responsibility of finding their enemies and taking revenge, so they could only push their horses forward, stepping over the corpses and bones, and prepared to cross the Han River to head towards Dongdu.

… ….

"Hahaha!" Aliye Ku'er, in this Martial Law Apocalypse, our contributions are equal! "

This was the sound of wild waves released by the ferocious "Swallow Mountain Wave Demon" towards the black-clothed swordsman Aliye Ku'er in a cave whose sinister voice resounded.

"Uncle Shao Shao!" I wonder what order to rob and kill has been issued for us this time? "

"The kill warrant?" The Swallow Mountain lance paused, then said, "I think we should discuss this matter in detail later." Now it's time to summarize the results. "

When Aliye Ku'er heard this, weak laughter had already melted into his nostrils. Then he said generously and unabashedly, "Hmph! I think that Central Plains Warriors only has this name, he's weak! They don't make much of a climate. According to my accounts, there are a total of eighty-five Central Plains Warriors who have died under our hands. "

"Eighty-five people!" The Swallow Mountain wave demon calculated and said, "You and I have joined hands to kill the 'Eighteen Whirlwind Cavalry' and the 'Jiangnan seven-line monster'. Then, it is you who killed the 'Eighteen Arhats', the 'Shaolin Thirteen Swords', 'Yangzhou Eight Tigers', and 'Lady of the Seven Bronzes of the Court of Dongting', as well as the four people from the 'Central Plains Seven Heroes', the first sword Chu Jiangnan, the 'Tianshan Seven Swords'. Thirty-one … Fifteen... Five... A total of seventy-six people; and I used the soul-shaking technique to eliminate Wu Jianghong, Xiao Yao Lang Zi and the Three Rings of the 'Seven Heroes of the Central Plains'. After that, I killed all of the 'Southern Spear King' Chou Tianting and the 'Five Heroes of the Capital'. From start to finish, there was a total of eighty-five people. Hm! Aliye Ku'er, looks like you know what to do! "

"Hahaha!" However, Aliye Ku'er laughed: "I know what I'm doing. You and I are the same. Actually, the number of people we want to kill has long since been counted by your senior apprentice-brother. Needless to say, in the next step of the mission, the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains and the Tianshan Seven Swords would have to be annihilated. May I know what kind of mission your senior brother, my master Master Fa Sen, has given us? "

"Hahaha!" Aliye Ku'er, you don't have to be anxious. According to what my senior said, 'Shu Dong Six Xiong' and 'Three Swords of Tianshan' have already passed through the Han River and are rushing towards the Luoyang. This is a good opportunity for you and me to make a move. "

"That is to say, the targets we are chasing after this time are the 'six heroes of the east', 'Three Swords of Tianshan' and the 'three heroes of the Central Plains'."

"Not quite!" Swallow Mountain wave demon sinisterly said, "Including these twelve, there are only ninety-seven. And we killed far more than this. Amongst the death list s, there are also the Northern Legs Liu Zhentian, the Wang Gu Xi Tian, and the Three Elders of the Yangtze River who are still alive. Not only that, the Emperor's' Eighteen Grand Guards', Princess Wan Hua and the Iron Hand Flower Protector, Huangfu Liqi, as well as the unknown 'First Spear of the Capital' Murong Shanshui, are all people that we want to eliminate. "

Hearing that, Aliye Ku'er calculated, and said: There are a total of thirty-eight of them, adding the eighty-five that have been eliminated, there is a total of one hundred and twenty-three! I wonder if this is our ultimate number? "

"NO!" The number will not stop, it will only increase and not decrease! " "Our targets are far more than these! Some martial arts experts are still in the middle of killing or not killing for my purposes. If they are not in my hands, they will also add death to the list. For women like the Yangzhou eight courtesans, killing or not would not be an issue. It would be the same as not killing them. Although we have eliminated a lot of famous martial artists from the martial arts world, but there are also many powerful people who are hiding their strength, so it is impossible for us to catch up and kill each other. If I were to formulate a plan to kill them, how would I be able to accomplish my goal of killing them all? "

"Hahaha!" "Unable to catch up, unable to kill?" Aliye Ku'er could not help but laugh out loud, and said: "As long as the overall situation of the Central Plains is gone, and we are able to rule over Wu Lin, the Emperor of Yale will take advantage of this and enter the Central Plains. When that happens, once the army arrives, all the remaining hostile forces will not have to worry about being annihilated! "

"We will definitely have such a day. The fate of the people of the world is already completely in our hands. As long as we have the fire pipe, Cheng Shihuang's world will be taken over in one swoop. "

"Ha!" Ha! "Hah!..." In the dark cave, the devil's terrifying laughter once again rang out.

However, just as waves of wild laughter were drifting about in the "Yin Gap Manor", the "Shu East Six Heroes", the "Lushan Five Jiao" and the "Three Swords of Tianshan", a group of fourteen people were slowly walking along the north coast of Hanshui City. They were heading towards the second bustling city of the Central Plains — — Luoyang.

At the same time, Vice-Envoy Gao, General Feng and a group of five people were walking out of the Tiger Forest in the Mount Shu region, heading towards the Shennongjia Forest in the northeast. However, none of them expected that the laughter of this devil, who was thousands of miles away, would cast a layer of dark clouds and mist over them.

Speaking of the Shennongjia forest, it was located in the northwest of Hubei Province. According to legends, the ancient Shennongjia had once tasted the grass here and treated the people. Because of the dangers of the mountains and roads, Shennongjia set up a mountain to gather herbs, and later the people, in memory of Shennongjia, called this place "Shennongjia".

In the forest area, there were slabs of rock, Great Jiuhu, Little Dang Yang, Xiangxi Yuan, Tianmen Ya, Yanziya, Song Luohe and more than a dozen other scenic spots. There were also hot and cold caves, ice caves, tidewater caves, and other natural wonders. The most fascinating discovery of the Shennongjia is the discovery of the Wild Man, who is said to have been seen by more than 200 people in the area for more than 30 years, which adds to the mystery of Shennongjia.
