In the territory of Taikun Gate, under Longhou Mountain, Feilong Town.

It happened to be the Lunar New Year.

According to legend, the agricultural festival is a festival formulated by Fuxi according to the spring ploughing and autumn harvest and the changes of the four seasons, that is, the year's farm work will start after the agricultural festival, and the common people like to gather together on the day of the agricultural festival to discuss the harvest of the previous year and give each other some high-quality seeds. Slowly, this agricultural festival evolved into a market day similar to today's.

I saw that in this Feilong Town, there were lights everywhere, the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, and the sound of firecrackers was endless. All kinds of business stalls are also blooming everywhere, selling flower resin jewelry, animal skin vests, beef tendon wrists, as well as roasting food on the street, selling seeds at the bridgehead, and selling farming tools next to the temple, all of which are dazzling. The streets are bustling, the voices of people are boiling, the daughter-in-law of the east family and the son of the west family are all walking around, watching left and right. The sound of shouting and bargaining also came and went.

"Boom!" suddenly a gong sounded under the bridge, attracting everyone to follow the prestige.

I saw a green yarn girl holding a gong in the open space under the bridge: "Qiang! , this knock attracted more people to surround it. The girl shouted: "Self-defense weapons! The treasures of the town house are only sold for half a day, and those who know the goods hurry up!" There was a stall on the ground in front of her, and a piece of flower animal skin was spread out below, and there were more than a dozen weapons on the skin.

The girl shouted again: "Come and see! If you don't buy it, you can take a look! Don't miss it! This girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, she looks smart and delicate, her figure is colorful, and her voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

One of them walked out of the crowd, stood in front of the animal skin and looked at it, picked up an ancient bird carved bow, and then stepped to pull the string, only to hear the sound of "hammer", and the string sounded endlessly. Everyone couldn't help but applaud when they saw this big man with a burly figure, and he looked brave and mighty when he pulled up his bow, and then listened to the long chant of this bow. The big man asked, "How do you sell this bow?" and the girl smiled and replied, "There are only a few pieces left today, and they will be sold cheaply!" ”

Everyone smacked their tongues when they heard this, thinking that this girl is probably a madman, no matter how good this bow is, the price is too expensive, three silver coins are enough for ordinary people to spend half a year on their families, isn't it clear that you want to tease the big man, the big man looks so vicious, he must be angry, and it depends on how you deal with it.

Unexpectedly, this big man was also a madman, so without saying a word, he took out three silver coins from his arms and handed them to the girl, raised his bow and turned around and left. The onlookers were amazed, and the girl continued to shout. At this time, a white-bearded old man next to him picked up a pair of Yunge leopard pattern maces and asked the girl: "Girl, how much does this pair cost?" The girl smiled: "This uncle, this pair of leopard prints is made of the curse cloud mine of Zhaoyao Mountain, mixed with the Tianquan holy water on the top of Yufu Mountain, after forty-nine days of smelting, a single mace weighs thirty-seven catties, you are so discerning, five silver coins to take." "Everyone is on the front end to see this gong, all secretly call themselves strange, only to see that the handle is carved from stone, the handle is engraved with a three-legged auspicious leopard, the body is cast with a nine-colored sea dragon, stepping on the clouds and stepping on the wind, lifelike, the material is like iron not iron, like wood not wood. The end of the gong is made of rain black iron, which is extremely sharp, and faintly reveals a colorful light in the sunlight.

The white-bearded old man said: "Look at the craftsmanship of this gong, five silver coins are not too expensive, but the old man wants to ask the girl, where did you get this weapon?" The girl said proudly: "These weapons are all cast in my home." "Oh?" The white-bearded old man showed a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Are you surnamed Zhu?" The girl said strangely: "Uncle, are you a fortune teller?, can you guess this?" The white-bearded old man laughed: "In addition to the descendants of Zhu Hezi, who else in the world can make such a weapon?"

The older people present couldn't help but be moved when they heard this, it turned out that this Zhu Hezi was a unique weapon caster hundreds of years ago, he was obsessed with craftsmanship, and he had developed a strange formula for casting on his own. Legend has it that Zhu Hezi once cast a sword for thirty consecutive days and nights sleepless, lay down beside the sword pool and fell asleep, in a daze met a white-haired and red-faced old man and said to him: "I am the god of fire in the heavenly court Zhu Rong, now by the order of God, specially granted the son of the meteorite outside the boundary, the son of the son from now on to make six artifacts, cast and buried in the landscape, when the world is in turmoil in the future, the artifact can be born to respond to the will of the emperor, the four seas are born, and the people of the world are soothed. After Zhu Hezi woke up, he found that there were a number of iron meteorites beside him, and the smoke in the pool was entangled in fog, and a poem faintly appeared:

The jade cicada chirps ghost tears

The autumn moon swings in the sky

The wind and snow fall on the Three Realms

Ice saucer town in Zhongzhou

Later, Zhu Hezi used these meteorites to refine six peerless weapons for decades: Ice Saucer Axe, Qutian Ruler, Ghost Tears, Moon Bow, Jade Cicada Whip, and Wind and Snow Fan. After casting, bury the six vessels in the mountains and flowing water. After hundreds of years, Qu Tianqi has fallen into the hands of Taikun Gate, and the jade cicada whip was found by the Six Broken Palace. The Moon Bow once appeared in Xichuan Mountain, but its whereabouts are unknown, but the Ice Saucer Axe, the Wind and Snow Fan, and the Ghost Tears have never appeared. Zhu Hezi took the whole family to hide in the mountains to avoid disputes, after he died, the Zhu family did not have any weapons, I didn't expect the descendants of the Zhu family to appear here today, this girl is the descendants of the Zhu family Zhu Xiaodan.

Zhu Xiaodan said with a smile: "Uncle really has insight, although the materials used for this pair of maces are ordinary, but the craftsmanship is still my family handicraft, it is definitely better than ordinary weapons, and five silver coins are definitely worth the money." The white-bearded old man nodded and said, "It's not expensive, I've got all these weapons, how many silver coins do you want in total?" Zhu Xiaodan was stunned, she didn't expect that this old man actually planned to buy all the weapons, and said: "This uncle is so refreshing, since you buy so much." Then you can take all the fifty coins. ”

The white-bearded old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out fifty silver coins and handed them to Zhu Xiaodan, preparing to wrap the animal skin and take it away.

"Wait!" suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone looked over, only to see four people striding away from the crowd and walking, and the sharp-eyed one recognized that the leader was Dongfang Hao, the captain of the city patrol team of the Taikun Gate Feilong Branch, and the others were his subordinates. Everyone knows that Taikun Gate is cruel and domineering on weekdays, and they all get out of the way.

"I want these weapons!" Dongfang Hao walked up to Zhu Xiaodan and said loudly: "No one else can buy them!"

Zhu Xiaodan laughed and said: "This big brother, these weapons have been sold to this uncle, you really didn't come at the right time." Dongfang Hao sneered: "Hmph, do you know what this place is? This is Feilong Town! Anyway, these weapons are going to be decided by our Taikun Sect!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the three subordinates to go down and grab the weapons in the hands of the white-bearded old man. The white-bearded old man knew that the people of Taikun Sect couldn't afford to mess with him, so he let go of his hand after a few dry laughs.

Zhu Xiaodan saw that these people were so unreasonable, and endured his anger and said: "This big brother, you can buy it, how much do you pay?" "What? You still need money? Are you crazy?" Dongfang Hao said fiercely: "You set up a stall here and the gentlemen have confiscated your tolls, and you still dare to collect money?"

Zhu Xiaodan said angrily: "If you don't give money, you won't sell it! Why are you unreasonable? I won't sell it to you, see what you do with me!" Dongfang Hao was furious, and suddenly flew up and kicked Zhu Xiaodan directly in the face. Zhu Xiaodan jumped up, flipped in the air, and landed lightly beside him, Dongfang Hao kicked into the air. Everyone saw Zhu Xiaodan's wonderful identity and applauded.

Dongfang Hao was embarrassed and angry, and shouted: "It's the other way around, give it to me, give me the skin of this chick!" The three subordinates rushed to Zhu Xiaodan together and attacked Zhu Xiaodan. The four of them immediately turned around. Zhu Xiaodan jumped up and down, and the three subordinates also attacked with all their might, and the fight was immediately inextricable. At this time, Dongfang Hao pulled out a knife, jumped up and slashed at Zhu Xiaodan in mid-air, "Bang!" There was a loud bang, and I saw that the knife light was glowing with blue light, and the blade of the knife was clamped in waves and immediately ran to the top of Zhu Xiaodan's head. This Dongfang Hao Neng is the captain of the Taikun Gate City Patrol Team, and his martial arts are naturally not weak, his martial arts are good at swords, and these twenty-four "Blue Wind Wave Knife" is his housekeeping skill. I don't know how many people were buried under the knife, this knife is obviously to put Zhu Xiaodan to death, seeing that Zhu Xiaodan was besieged by three people and had no time to withdraw, this knife immediately cut off her head and blossomed, everyone hated the disciples of Taikun Sect who did a lot of evil on weekdays, and people and gods were angry, and they couldn't help but be anxious for her.

"Smack!" suddenly there was a thunderclap, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Just when Dongfang Hao's knife was only about two inches away from the top of Zhu Xiaodan's head, a purple-red smoke ball slowly floated from the crowd.

The fuchsia smoke seemed to float slowly.

It was so slow that everyone could clearly see that the fuchsia smoke ball was in the shape of the palm of a left hand.

It was so slow that everyone could see that the palm smoke ball was coming from the hands of a ragged and down-to-earth young man four feet and three feet away.

But somehow, just when Dongfang Hao's knife was still an inch away from the top of Zhu Xiaodan's head, this palm smoke ball floated onto the knife.

With a "bang", the knife was broken in two, and Dongfang Haowa spat out blood, and immediately fainted and fell.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Dongfang Hao's three subordinates also came to their senses for a long time, and hurriedly lifted Dongfang Hao and ran away. Zhu Xiaodan was so frightened that she almost died under the knife, and when she wanted to find this young man who saved her life, she found that he had already walked to the bridge.

Zhu Xiaodan jumped, flew to the bridge, and landed in front of the down-and-out young man. smiled and bowed: "This big brother, thank you for saving me just now, otherwise I'm afraid that the little sister has already gone to see the king of Hades." The down-and-out young man smiled and said: "You're welcome, when you see that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, why worry about it?" Zhu Xiaodan carefully looked the young man up and down, only to see that he was one or two years older than himself, although he was ragged and thin, he was full of heroic spirit, and asked: "My name is Zhu Xiaodan, what is your name?"

The down-and-out young man smiled: "My name is Yan Wuping, this Feilong Town is the territory under the jurisdiction of Taikun Gate, and the masters are like clouds, presumably those few people will go back to report the news, and someone will soon come to hunt us down, so you better hurry home." There will be a period later. Saying that, he hurried out of town.
