On the land in the south of Qibao County, there is a lonely house, there is not even a little life around, no plants in sight, no living creatures, and it seems that even ants do not want to settle in this vicinity. Accompanying this house, there is probably only the sound of complaining and crying.

There are lonely people living in lonely houses, and this person rarely interacts with people, and he asks others to send what he needs from Qibao County, and rarely goes out to buy in person. Even when he was talking to customers about business, he hid in the house and communicated with them through holes in the walls.

This person is the legendary lonely blacksmith Mu Yizuru.

Few ordinary people know Mu Yihe's person, and only some martial artists know Mu Yihe's name, because the blades made by Mu Yihe are very good, and the blades made by him are very suitable for killing.

The craftsmanship is good, and the construction fee charged is naturally high, Mu Yihe builds weapons for others, and the minimum starting price is 1,000 taels of silver, if it is a good weapon, it has to be increased separately. This price is not acceptable to ordinary martial artists, so Mu Yihe rarely gets business, and he can only build two or three weapons in a year.

Although the business is a little cold, it is just right for Mu Yihe, he is a person who likes to be with loneliness.

If he could, Mu Yihe would like to never see outsiders for the rest of his life.

But this is impossible, at least not today, because today there is a guest outside Mu Yihe's house.

Zhao Zheng stood outside the house like a deep prison, knocked on the door a few times, and said loudly: "Under Zhao Zheng, I want to ask Mr. Mu to help build a blade." ”

"Come in." Mu Yihe's voice was very loud, like an iron hammer hitting a burnt red embryo.

Zhao Zheng pushed the door in, his steps were very slow, and he looked around. The room was well lit and bright, with eighteen weapons on either side of the walls, and a wooden sign with the word "waste" written on it. The quality of these weapons is quite good, and the result is also called scrap, which shows how good the finished product in Mu Yihe's hands is.

A few steps further on, it is blocked by a wall with an iron door, tightly closed, and above the wall there is a rectangular hole, not large in width or width, through which only one hand can stretch out.

Zhao Zheng saw a figure through the hole, presumably this was the legendary Mu Yihe.

"Hello, Mr. Mu." Zhao Zheng arched his hand.

"Looks like you're familiar with me here." Mu Yihe said.

"Well, I was introduced by a friend, and I know something about you here."

"Since that's the case, I won't say more nonsense, a thousand taels of silver and a blade, and refuse to bargain."

"It's easy to talk about money or something, it's not too late to talk about it later, I hope Mr. Mu can take a look at this painting first, and see if he can build this weapon in my imagination." Zhao Zheng reached into his sleeve and took out a sketch drawing, on which he drew the blade he wanted to build. Because this blade is relatively special, he has to show Mu Yihe in advance, if Mu Yihe can't build it, then he can only ask for another master.

On this drawing, a long sword is drawn, there is nothing special about the long sword itself, the mystery is all in the hilt and the sword body, the sword body hides a narrow "military thorn", and the sword handle is installed with a machine spring, a press of the machine spring, the "military thorn" will pop out of the sword body. In other words, this is a weapon made from two weapons, which is a sword on the surface and a murderous military thorn hidden inside.

The military spur, also known as the triangular thorn, is a very slender weapon with an unusually sharp tip and a blood groove on one side, which is designed for stabbing in battle.

Due to the blood groove on the spine, after piercing into the person's body, a large amount of blood will gush out of the wound, which can not only inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but also facilitate the removal of the spine from the wound for the next round of attacks.

The shape of the military spur is narrow and sharp, which can achieve excellent penetration, if the enemy wears a piece of armor, it may not be able to penetrate with a sword, but it is possible to penetrate with a military spur, and the difference is very large. In addition, the wounds caused by military stabbing are all hole-type, the amount of bleeding is extremely large, the wound is not easy to suture and bandage, and bleeding alone can kill a person!

In a life-and-death struggle, the lethality of a stab is much higher than that of a slash, and if a slash falls on a person, it may only leave a wound, and if the stab is pierced in the chest, it will inevitably destroy the internal organs inside! When it comes to lethal xìng, stabbing weapons are more terrifying than slashing weapons.

The military stab is the best of the cold weapons, a sharp weapon for killing, if you want to break through in this dangerous river and lake, it is really the best choice. When Zhao was thinking about what weapon to build for himself, the first thing that came to mind was the military stab, if it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful swordsmanship in the "Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutra" that needed to be performed with a sword, he might have directly created a military stab, instead of creating this two-in-one weapon.

Zhao Zheng stuffed the drawings into the holes in the wall, and Mu Yihe took them with his calloused hands and looked at them.

"You're going to hide a trap in the hilt of your sword?" Mu Yihe saw the mystery at a glance.

"That's right, I'm going to build a 'reed sword' and hide a 'spike' in the hilt and blade." Zhao Zheng couldn't call him a military thorn, so he had to give him a name that was easier to understand.

"There are a lot of weapons with traps in the world, and they are not special, but your 'spike' is very interesting, why do you carve grooves into it?" Mu Yihe asked.

"For the sake of aesthetics."

"What's so beautiful about the grooves."

"Everybody's eyes are different, you think grooves are nothing to look at, but I think grooves are very good embellishments." Zhao Zheng was reluctant to reveal the knowledge of the blood trough to Mu Yihe, and he was even more reluctant to see the murderous weapon of the military thorn spread in the rivers and lakes.

Mu Yihe was just a blacksmith, and he couldn't understand the effect of a small groove, so he didn't ask anymore, nodded and said, "I have made this kind of weapon with a mechanism, and it is difficult for me." However, this weapon takes a bit more time to build than an ordinary sword, and you need to add extra money, at least two hundred taels of silver. ”

Just now Zhao Zheng boasted that money was not a problem, but in fact, money was the biggest problem, he only had a small amount of silver in his pocket, and he couldn't take out the money at all.

Since I can't get it, I can only find other trading options.

Zhao Zheng cleared his throat and said tentatively: "I heard about something from a friend before I came, it is said that there is a rule here in Mr. Mu, if anyone can do something for you, you will be exempted from the manufacturing cost, may I ask if this is the case?" ”

In the game, Mu Yihe has this rule, and if the player is willing to do things for him, the building fee can be waived. In the course of the game, the tasks given to the player by Mu Yihe will gradually change, and the early tasks of Qingyi Sè are all for the player to go to the Qingfeng Forest to find the lost jade pendant, and in the middle and late stages, there are other tasks to the player.

"Yes, I have such a rule here, but what I want my guests to do is often difficult, and most of them can't do it, otherwise my blacksmith shop would have closed down a long time ago." Mu Yihe admitted.

Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, since there was such a thing, it would be easy to do, he smiled bitterly: "I'm a poor ghost, and I can't take out more than a thousand taels of silver, so I'm willing to do one thing for you, so as to waive this construction fee." If you have any orders, please do not hesitate to speak. ”

Mu Yihe was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about it, and replied after a while: "I really have something in my hand that I want to find someone to do, a year ago I wanted to decorate a scabbard with wolf hair, so I went to Qingfeng Forest and went to kill a wolf and came back, just after that, I found that a piece of jade pendant on my body was missing, it should have fallen in Qingfeng Forest." Afterwards, I went to Qingfeng Forest a few times, but I never found this jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to me by my father, and it is very important to me. If you can go to Qingfeng Forest and get this jade pendant back for me, I will promise to help you build a weapon for free. ”

"What kind of face is that jade pendant? What is the texture? ”

"It was a piece of turquoise jadeite, with very few impurities, and it was easy to identify."

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll leave for Qingfeng Forest to find this jade pendant for you." Zhao Zheng simply agreed.

"I'm here to wait for the good news, when will you get me back the fish-shaped jade pendant, and when will I build a weapon for you." Mu Yihe handed the drawing out of the hole.

Zhao Zheng took his drawings, stuffed them into his sleeves, said goodbye to Mu Yihe, and strode away.
