As the old saying goes: Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. The area where the Shouyang Mountain Range is located in this radius of hundreds of miles is the junction of Henan, Liang, Yong, and Hebei four countries, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, in addition to the four countries fighting each other, the attack is continuous, the war is endless, for hundreds of years, it has become a typical poor mountain and bad water, the place of four no care,

Lin Sumo spent three days in the mountains before he got out of the Shouyang Mountains, to the east is the Yu Kingdom, to the west is the Liang Kingdom, to the northeast is the Ji Kingdom, and to the northwest is the Yong Kingdom.

According to legend, Yu and Liang are all derived from the Yu Huang clan, one of the eight surnames in ancient times, the same family name, the two countries at the beginning of the founding of the country, once about the country of brothers, generations of friendship, and therefore the two countries joined forces to expel the forces of Yong and Hebei from this area, and the entire Shouyang Mountain Range was under control, and the rich mineral deposits produced from the Shouyang Mountain Range were continuously transported to Yu and Liang, enhancing the national strength of the two countries, and once made the strength of Yu and Liang the two countries the most powerful two countries in the nine countries of Tianlu.

However, all this stopped at the 'Yao usurped Liang' five hundred years ago, the Liang royal family wanted to use the power of the Yu State to quell the Yao rebellion, just when the Yu State Ping Rebellion Army was advancing and victorious, Yong and Hebei sent troops in the name of being hired by the Yao family, and the surrounding five countries also participated in it openly or covertly, and finally the Yu State was defeated, and the royal family surnamed Liang Guo was also secretly slaughtered and killed by the Yao family by means of the military disaster, the Yu State was defeated and retreated, and the Yao family took the opportunity to swallow the seven cities of the Yu State, and the soldiers pointed directly at the capital of the Yu State' Shang capital', forced the Yu Emperor to avoid Bianzhou, and then, after ten years, the Yu State recaptured the seven cities occupied by the Yao family one by one, since then, the Yu State and the Yao Liang State have formed a feud.

Every year of the war, the border of Yu and Liang has become a wasteland within 500 miles, here, the power of the imperial power and the law is extremely weakened, the law of the forest of the weak is popular, the weak depend on the strong, the strong depend on the stronger, forming a unique ecosystem of the border wasteland.

In this area, although chaotic and full of dangers, in this chaotic world, this wasteland has become a place for those who have no place to live in the Nine Kingdoms of Heaven and Land, a hiding place for outlaws, and a stage for swords to lick blood, and to make a name for themselves and gain benefits without fear of the dead.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, on this border line that stretches for thousands of miles, the forces of all parties have converged, and gradually formed three major desolate towns and nine desolate gatherings.

The three major deserted towns from north to south are Longshan Town, Dahuang Town, and Nanshan Town, and each deserted town has three wasteland sets attached to it, which are controlled by multiple forces, among which the relationship is intertwined, both vertical and horizontal, and there are mutual battles, all of which cannot escape the word 'interests'.

Lin Sumo came down from the Shouyang Mountain Range, the closest is the 'Wasteland Collection', the 'Wasteland Collection' is located at the intersection of 'Longshou Mountain' and 'Yanhui Ridge', which was originally a place for soldiers in the Yu Kingdom, after being abandoned by the Yu Kingdom more than 100 years ago, this fort became a borderless land.

After a bloody struggle, the first three forces stationed here built the 'Wasteland Collection' with the help of the ruins of the Fortress, after nearly a hundred years of development, the scale of the 'Wasteland Collection' has expanded four or five times, and the three forces that initially occupied the Wasteland Collection have long since collapsed, and the rights have changed, and now the two major forces that control the Wasteland Collection are the 'Twelve Buildings' and the 'Liuyun Sword Alliance'.

When Lin Sumo walked to the 'Wasteland Collection', it was already the end of the unitary period, and the weather was already in autumn at the moment, and it was dark very early, but the set was already brightly lit, and people came and went and seemed to be prosperous.

At the door, he paid the entry fee of ten cents, and under the gaze of many eyes, Lin Sumo walked into the 'Wasteland Collection', and just walked out of the doorway, a black shadow flashed in front of him, Lin Sumo was about to make a move, but he heard the other side say: "Adults are first coming to the 'Wasteland Collection', do you want a guide?" ”

Lin Sumo quietly withdrew his hand and glanced at the person in front of him, but he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-year-old child, with a vegetable, unclothed body, and no trace of martial arts cultivation on his body, but with Lin Sumo's experience in the past few days, the most inconspicuous may hide the most dangerous things.

Lin Sumo said: "Are you a native of the Wasteland Collection?" ”

The child hurriedly said: "The little one grew up in the wasteland set since he was a child, and the wasteland set has no secrets that I don't know!" ”

Lin Sumo smiled when he heard this: "If that's the case, it is estimated that you will not be alive now!" ”

The child smiled wryly, but he was a little at a loss, but then he heard Lin Sumo say: "Take me to the best wine shop here, I'm a little hungry after a day's walk!" ”

The child's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Adults, please come with me!" ”

Saying that, he turned around and led the way, walked through the streets and alleys, and soon led Lin Sumo to a wine shop, this wine shop is not big, it can even be said to be a little simple, it seems to see Lin Sumo a little displeased, the child hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, although this wine shop is not the largest in the wasteland collection, it is definitely the best!" In particular, the boss treasured a jar of century-old wine, and the small one was brought for the adults later, which definitely made the trip worthwhile for the adults! ”

"'There's a liquor store'? The name is taken at will! ”

Lin Sumo glanced up in front of the door, and saw four words written on the mottled plaque at the door, and the handwriting was already a little blurred.

Because of the remote location, there were four or five people sitting sporadically in the lobby of the wine shop, and only two oil lamps emitted a dim light.

Lin Sumo raised his feet and walked in, the child was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ran into the wine shop, shouting loudly: "Old ghost, old ghost, hurry up and pick up guests!" ”

"Dead bunny, what are you shouting? If you don't smoke for a day, your skin will be itchy! ”

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind the counter, and then a hunched old man limped out.

"Old ghost, I've brought you a guest, hurry up and bring your best wine and best dishes out to entertain this lord!"

As he spoke, the child cleaned up a clean table for Lin Sumo in the brightest part of the lobby, wiped the tables and chairs repeatedly, and then walked into the back of the counter and took out a jar of wine and put it on the table.

"Dead rabbit cub, hurry up and put the wine back for Lao Tzu!"

When the old man saw the jar of wine that the child had placed on the table, his face immediately changed greatly, and he stepped over to the table in three or two steps and snatched the wine back.

Lin Sumo's expression was grim, but the old man's seemingly anxious actions made him see a hint of clues, but when he looked carefully, he found that the old man's qi and blood were decaying, and he looked like he was about to die.

However, the more this is the case, the more vigilant Lin Sumo is, to be able to survive in an environment like Huangji, if he is not strong, he must have unknown abilities and means.

"Old ghost, you're a little stingy, isn't it just a jar of old wine?" When the child saw the old man snatching the wine jar, he felt that it was difficult to save face, after all, he had bragged in front of Lin Sumo before, and he was slapped in the face so quickly, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, but he seemed to be very afraid of this old man, and he didn't dare to step forward and snatch the wine jar back.

The old man didn't pay attention to it, glanced at Lin Sumo coldly, and limped back to the counter with a snort and a limp, obviously hating Lin Sumo together.

However, after a while, the old man came over with a jar of wine again, and put it heavily in front of Lin Sumo with a 'bang', the child's eyes lit up when he saw this, his face was happy, and he hurriedly brought a few plates of appetizers for Lin Sumo from the back kitchen.

The wine is a good wine, although it is not a century-old wine boasted by children, but there are also more than 20 years old, and the amber liquid is poured into the bowl, and the refreshing aroma of the wine escapes in the air, attracting other diners to look back.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the corner, and then a rough voice shouted fiercely: "Old thing, there is such a good wine that I don't give to my uncle to drink, believe it or not, uncle, I dismantled your old bones one by one?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a thick man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist came out of the corner, with a majestic figure, but his face was full of flesh and fierce eyes, and such a face was equivalent to writing the word 'badass' on his face, so that people could know at a glance that this person was not a good person.

"Boy, I'll give you a taste of this jar of wine!"

The rough man laughed, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wine jar in front of Lin Sumo.

Lin Sumo stretched out his right hand, but it was the last to come first, and then he flicked his fingers, hitting the wrist of the rough man.

Lin Sumo's flick of his fingers seems random, but the strength is heavy, and the focus point is the most vulnerable point, under this flick of his fingers, the rough man's entire wrist bone is shattered into powder, even if it is treated, this arm is considered useless.

"Ahh

The rough man screamed and retreated, knocking over several tables and chairs one after another, but, from the direction of his retreat, Lin Sumo saw that this rough man looked vulgar, but his mind was not bad, this time he retreated, when he stopped, the person had already arrived at the door of the wine shop, and then a person flew out of the wine shop, drilled into the street on one side, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The wine shop fell silent, and although the rest of the diners were also jealous of the good wine, they did not dare to make a mistake after learning from the past.

Perhaps the temptation of good wine was really unbearable, and after a while, the remaining diners simply came out of sight and left one after another, leaving Lin Sumo alone in the wine shop to pour himself a drink.

The old man didn't urge, he sat alone behind the counter and dozed off, At this time, the child standing aside seemed to have mustered up his courage, stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times in a row, and said, "Please take the little ones as apprentices!" ”

Lin Sumo stared at the kid and said, "I won't accept apprentices!" ”

When the boy heard this, he only prostrated until blood oozed from his forehead.

Seeing this, Lin Sumo frowned and said, "No need to act anymore, even if you die in front of me, I won't change my mind!" After that, he dropped two pieces of silver, lifted the wine jar, and walked out with a sway, muttering as he walked: "This kid has eyes and doesn't know the real Buddha, the big Buddha is in front of him, so why bother to ask for it!" As he spoke, he didn't care whether the boy understood or not, and went out of the house.

However, Lin Sumo, who left, didn't notice that the dozing boss behind the counter woke up at some point, raised his head to look at Lin Sumo's departing back, and there was a strange light in his cloudy eyes.
