"Ruoshui, I've always had a question, your three are green, and I don't see you feeding, won't they be hungry?"

"Back to the second shopkeeper, they usually eat bird eggs, and they can take care of it for a month or two after eating it once. ”

"What if there are no eggs in winter?"

"In the winter, they hibernate and don't have to eat. ”

"Oh, I see. Let's go to an inn near Blacksmith Street to stay. Then slowly inquire about Chu Qin's clan. Lin Yun said.

So, like children, the master and servant walked down the street with a candy man.

Blacksmith Street, except for a few restaurants, are all blacksmith shops, and there is only one inn, called Tielan Inn, which has a very nice name. The master and servant entered the inn and asked for two upper rooms, which were not luxurious, but they were quite spacious and comfortable.

Before the shopkeeper brought them into the room and left, "Little second brother, is there a person surnamed Chu Qin in this blacksmith street?" Lin Yun asked, and gave him a small piece of broken silver.

"Uncle Hui, I know that there are more than 100 shops in this blacksmith street, but there is no shopkeeper or boss surnamed Chu Qin. But ......," Xiao Er replied.

"But what"

"There are a few families with the surname Chu, and there are also a few families with the surname Qin, I don't know if it has anything to do with the Chu Qindi you are looking for. ”

"Oh, where are all these shops?" ”

"The owners of the shops at the top of the east are all surnamed Chu, and the owners of the shops at the top of the west are all surnamed Qin. They are all famous shops in Blacksmith Street. ”

"Little second brother, let me ask you again, is this blacksmith street all about casting weapons on weekdays?"

"Yes, our country is rich in iron mines, and the people are martial, and the lord of the country does not prohibit the people from owning weapons. But ......"

"But what?" Lin Yun stuffed another small piece of broken silver into him.

The second brother said with a smile: "However, the main business of Blacksmith Street is not from the people, but from the Suguo court. ”

"Suguo Imperial Court?"

"Yes! The weapons of the court's own army or the orders for weapons processed by the court for other countries were divided into pieces and distributed to more than 100 shops on the blacksmith street. ”

"I see!"

"So, don't underestimate this humble blacksmith shop, after so many years of accumulation, their wealth is no less than that of a small vassal state. Take the current batch of goods cast in Blacksmith Street as an example, I heard that Beimang asked for it, 100,000 swords and spears each, and these blacksmith shops have been busy for almost a year.

It's still casting day and night, and I heard that it must be delivered at the beginning of spring next year, and the one that delayed the delivery date will kill the head. ”

Hearing this news, Lin Yun couldn't help but gasp. This blacksmith street is really incredible, it can actually forge 300,000 weapons in a year.

Lin Yun sent Xiao Er away and fell into deep contemplation.

Hurried overnight, the master and servant were dusty, and after staying in the hotel that day, they did not go out, and they each rested for a while.

On the second day, there were not many snowflakes in the sky, Lin Yun took Ruoshui, who was dressed as a man, out of the house, and the two were going to go to the restaurant on the street to eat something, and then go to the Chu family shop in the east to have a look.

The master and servant came to a haggis soup restaurant, and the name of the restaurant was Old Man Li's haggis, which reminded Lin Yun of Daddy Mo's haggis outside the Dasanguan military camp.

The north wind is howling, the snow is drifting, Lin Yun opened the greasy cotton curtain, and Ruoshui entered the haggis house, the weather was cold, and not many people came out to eat, there were only five or six people at more than a dozen tables, Lin Yun picked up a place and sat down, Xiao Er came up to greet him, Lin Yun ordered two bowls of haggis and asked for four white buns.

At this time, a person came in from outside the door, it was an old man, wearing a sheepskin fur, looking very sloppy, the old man's age looked more than sixty, his back was slightly rickety, he was very thin, a little sickly, "Master Chu, you haven't come to my small restaurant for a few days, today, what to eat?" As soon as the shopkeeper in this store saw him, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Shopkeeper Li is still the same as the old three. Master Chu replied.

"Sit down, and I'll come up to you in a moment. Shopkeeper Li let Master Chu to the empty seat next to Lin Yun.

After a while, Lin Yun's haggis soup came, and the things from the next table also came, and Lin Yun fixed his eyes to see that it was a large pot of sheep scorpions, a jar of wine and four white buns.

Old Master Chu Pang Ruo had no one to eat, Lin Yun looked at it, Yao! This old man, the amount of food is not small!

Lin Yun saw that this old man Chu was holding a large piece of sheep and scorpion in one hand and gnawed it for a while, then picked up the wine bowl and drank two sips, and occasionally picked up the white bun and bit one or two more mouthfuls.

Lin Yun heard that his surname was Chu, and it was estimated that he was a member of the Chu family on the east side of Blacksmith Street as mentioned by the shopkeeper, so he was ready to ask him about the news of the Chu Qin clan.

"Master Chu is above, junior Lin Yun is polite!" Lin Yun stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"Oh, Lin Yun, what's the matter with you?" Old Man Chu did not stop to eat meat and drink.

"The junior wants to ask Master Chu about someone. ”

"Who?"

"Does Master Chu know the descendants of the Chu Qin clan?"

When Master Chu heard this name, he paused, and quickly said, "I don't know." ”

Lin Yun seemed to think that he knew something, but at that time, people refused, and Lin Yun was not good at asking again.

"Sorry. ”

Lin Yun returned to his seat in a daze, feeling a little depressed, and shouted, "Shopkeeper!"

"What do you have to say?" shopkeeper Li hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Give me a copy of the same three things from Master Chu. ”

"Well, this man, wait a moment, your order will be there soon. ”

After a while, Lin Yun's three things also came, Lin Yun took a sheep scorpion to Ruoshui, patted the mud seal of the wine jar by himself, poured a bowl for Ruoshui, and poured a bowl for himself.

Ruoshui was a little unaccustomed to it, and wanted to stop Lin Yun from pouring her wine, Lin Yun waved her hand so that she didn't have to do this.

Lin Yun also learned from Master Chu, ate a few mouthfuls of sheep and scorpions, and drank two sips of wine, it felt really beautiful, this wine was not too strong, but it was not as soft as apricot blossoms.

Eating the rich flavor of sheep and scorpions, drinking this wine is a perfect match.

"Young Master Lin, where are you from?" asked Master Chu suddenly.

"The juniors are from the country of Tang.

"Tang Guo?"

"Yes. ”

"Why are you looking for the Chu Qin clan? The Chu Qin clan was wiped out five hundred years ago, don't you know?"

"The juniors know. ”

"I know you're still looking for it. ”

"The younger generation was instructed to find the descendants of the Chu Qin clan to build a knife. ”

"You want a knife?"

"Yes"

"Hehe~he~ The people who can find Chu Qin's knife in this world are either crazy people or real people, which kind of person are you?"

"Juniors are neither. Just an ordinary person. ”

"Then you're not qualified. ”

"So the seniors know Chu Qinyi?"

"I don't know. ”

"But you've said so much. ”

"I don't know him, but I know the way to meet him, either you turn yourself into a madman, or you reach the realm of a great real person. "There is no other way. ”

"Nope. ”

"How to be a madman?"

"Hehe~Hehe......"

"Why are the seniors laughing?"

"Laughing at you, of course?"

"Laugh at you're smart and self-conscious. ”

"Why?"

"Because you know that it is impossible to become a real person, and there is still a little hope of becoming a madman. ”

"How do I become a madman?" Lin Yun asked again after taking a sip of wine.

"It's simple. ”

"What's the easy way?"

"Kill. ”

"Murder, the law prohibits indiscriminate killing. Is it ......?"

"There is a place where you can kill blatantly. ”

"Where?"

"Senro Arena. ”

"Senluo Arena?"

"Yes, it's an underworld, the dirtiest place in the world.

"The underworld?"

"Yes. ”

"How to get there?"

"You really want to go?"

"Would you like to give it a try?"

The sloppy Master Chu began to look at Lin Yun at this time, put down the half-gnawed sheep scorpion, and rubbed his hand on the sheepskin fur, the part of the sheepskin fur that was rubbed by him was obviously different from other positions, shiny and shiny.

He picked up a bowl of wine, took a sip with half-squinted eyes, and then stared blankly at the empty space for a moment.

"Are you looking for death?"

"Those who seek death may not die. ”

"You're confident. ”

"This is the only advantage of the younger generation. ”

"Every year, hundreds of confident people like you die in the Senro Arena. ”

"Did anyone survive?"

"Yes, there is only one person a year, and this person is called a 'madman', a madman that no one dares to provoke. ”

"If you become a 'madman', you can meet the Chu Qin clan?"

"I don't know. ”

"Because all the 'madmen' are gone. ”

"Then why did the senior just say that if you become a 'madman', you can meet the Chu Qin clan?"

"Because of the legend. ”

"Legends?"

"Yes, legend. Legend has it that after becoming a 'madman', Chu Qinyi would create a peerless weapon for him, and he was going to help Chu Qin's clan complete a mission, but the 'madman' who went to complete the task did not come back. ”

"There is such a thing!"

"Would you like to go?"

"Yes. ”

"Haha~ha......" The sloppy old man Chu suddenly got up with a wild laugh, walked out, and said as he walked: "Go to the first blacksmith shop in the east to find me today, my name is Chu Yimad, just report my name when the time comes, since you want to find death, I will send you to die." If you die, there will be one less person in the world who competes with me for sheep and scorpions. Haha~haha......"

Lin Yun watched Master Chu open the curtain of the door, a cold air rushed to his face, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, it was already an inch thick, and the snowflakes were rolling around with the howling north wind, and some of them drifted into the haggis house, and melted when they fell to the ground.

The door curtain closed, Chu Yifang disappeared, and there seemed to be two worlds inside and outside the house.

Lin Yun knew that today, when he stepped out of this haggis house, his world would be like this snowy world outside, becoming more and more confusing, more and more cruel, and more and more difficult. Thinking of this, he took a sip full of wine......

"Shopkeeper!" Lin Yun shouted.

"The villain is here, what does the uncle command?" Shopkeeper Li hurriedly walked over from behind the counter of the accounting.

"Excuse me, who is Master Chu?"

"Don't hide it from Uncle, Master Chu is the head of the Chu family on Blacksmith Street, and half of our business in Blacksmith Street is under the control of his old man. Shopkeeper Li came over and said respectfully

Road.

"Oh, so the other half is in the hands of the Qin family?"

"Yes. The Chu family and the Qin family have lived here for generations, and on the surface, each of them has only five shops, but with the Tielan Inn as the boundary, the blacksmith shops in the east are all looking at the head of the old man Chu just now, and the blacksmith shops in the west are obedient to the old man Qin. ”

"Master Qin?"

"Yes, Master Qin, his name is Qin Ermad. ”

"Qin Ermad?" Lin Yun laughed dumbly and squirted out a mouthful of wine, "Is he going to overpower Master Chu in his name?"

"This ...... The villain did not dare to discuss. Shopkeeper Li said resignedly.

"Who is talking about the old man behind his back?" a strong man's voice came in as the curtain was lifted, and then a burly old man walked in, wearing a black wolf's skin and shoulders, and his fur shimmered in the dim light. He is also over sixty years old, but he is tall and has a voice like a bell.

"Master Qin is on top, it was the younger generation who asked abruptly, and it was not about Shopkeeper Li. Lin Yun got up and said apologetically.
