"Let's go."

Now that the Dao Casting Contest has begun, there is no need for Zhou An to stop, Qi Shuo nodded and went out with Zhou An.

After leaving the door, Zhou An walked on the street, walking side by side with Qi Shuo, looking at the lively scene on the street and the crowd coming and going.

"Yunlai Mansion is estimated to have not been so lively for a long time." Zhou An looked at the passers-by who looked hurried.

They went in the same direction as Zhou An.

In this casting competition, Qi Shuo had already told Zhou An the rules on the way.

The government has set up a venue for the competition in a special place, and this time it was for entering the venue.

After all, there are many people coming, and it is easy to have accidents when there are many people, so a special venue is divided to isolate it from ordinary people.

Qi Shuo was full of confidence along the way, after all, Blacksmith Zhao said that Zhou An was sure to win.

He could already imagine that after Zhou An won the first place, his status in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would rise.

"In this life, luck accounts for a part, and it is much better to meet a noble person than to work my own." Qi Shuo thought.

The nobleman, of course, refers to Zhou An.

Qi Shuo knew that with Zhou An's strength, it was impossible to be an unknown nobody, and one day in the future, he would definitely shine with greater light.

When the time comes, when Zhou An becomes famous, he will also be able to ascend to heaven.

The two of them walked like this, and soon came to their destination, which was an extremely empty area, but many houses had already been built.

At the entrance, there are many people queuing.

The gate was closed, and at the gate was the Sun Mansion Order.

The Dao Casting Contest held in Yunlai Mansion this time was itself presided over by the government order, so Sun Fu Ling naturally put everything else aside and finished today's things first.

"Brother Zhou, I won't send it." Qi Shuo arched his hand and said an auspicious word: "I wish Brother Zhou to win the first place." ”

He just dropped by the way, and was not allowed to go in any further.

Zhou An nodded, watched Qi Shuo leave, and patiently stood at the back of the crowd and waited.

At this moment, he really met an acquaintance.

Long Xing stood not far away, looking at Zhou An with a complicated light.

"And he did."

"With him, this time in the Yunlai Mansion Casting Dao Competition, everyone is just a foil."

Next to Long Xing were young men with swords and longbows, and they couldn't understand why Long Xing had been so depressed recently.

They also asked, but Long Xing didn't say it even if he was killed.

The young man holding the long sword said strangely, "Long Xing, what are you looking at?" You've been really wrong lately, why are you like you've lost your energy? ”

Although he saw Long Xing's complicated gaze, there were many people here, and he didn't know who Long Xing was looking at.

When Long Xing heard this, he finally came back to his senses and showed a bitter smile on his face: "It's nothing, this time the Dao Casting Competition, everyone just do their best." ”

He kept in mind Blacksmith Zhao's words, and he would never reveal Zhou An's news, otherwise he would throw the pot on himself when the time came, and he might not lose his head one day.

Zhou An's murderous aura broke out at the beginning, if it wasn't for Blacksmith Zhao's sudden arrival, Zhou An gave Blacksmith Zhao a face, and it was estimated that he would have to move his head at that time.

"Don't ask, let's wait in line." Long Xing sighed.

Zhou An naturally took in Long Xing's expression, and he didn't take it seriously, he was just a passerby.

Time was gradually passing, and Sun Fuling had been communicating with the people next to him, as if he was discussing the details of the Dao Casting Competition.

After about half a pillar of incense, Sun Fuling finally stopped and coughed lightly.

The venue, which was originally a little flustered, was quiet in an instant, and everyone focused on Sun Fuling.

After Sun Fuling finished coughing, he said loudly: "Everyone, welcome to participate in the first young people casting competition in the Great Chu Kingdom, this competition is mainly to select the younger generation of casting talents, and enter the craftsman prison that everyone in the Great Chu Kingdom yearns for, I hope everyone will do their best to make a bright future for themselves." ”

Naturally, everyone will say it.

Sun Fuling has been walking in officialdom for so many years, and there are still a few casual words.

After the scene was finished, it was time for the main event.

"This big competition, it is expected to take nine days, with a day of rest in between, a total of only two things, the first is to cast weapons, and the second is to cast defensive things."

"For these eight days, everyone has to eat, drink, and sleep with us, but you can rest assured that we have professional staff to serve and ensure that everyone is better than outside."

"During the big competition, communication with the outside world is not allowed, and if the communicator is treated as cheating."

"Whether it is a weapon or a defensive object, it is up to you to choose, how you want to cast it, as long as it does not deviate from our category."

Zhou An listened below, touched his chin when he heard this, and thought about it.

As he expected, weapons or defensive objects were used for war.

The selection of the Great Chu State this time is to select those who are used in the war.

It's fair, everyone eats and sleeps here, and it's not allowed to communicate with the outside world, which avoids the possibility of cheating.

Thinking so, Sun Fuling also said the general rules and pointed in one direction.

"This big competition will be evaluated by a special person, please welcome the master who is the master of the craftsman, Lin Bantie."

Everyone's eyes followed the direction pointed by Sun Fuling, and they saw a thin middle-aged man with a mirror in his hand, dressed up there.

Zhou An: "......"

He never thought that he would meet Lao Lin before.

Lao Lin was still there, touching his hair narcissistically in the mirror, and after hearing Sun Fuling's words, he waved his hand helplessly.

"I am a person from the craftsman supervisor stationed in Yunlai Mansion, this time it will be fair and just, if you feel that there is anything unfair, please feel free to raise it with the superior of the craftsman supervisor."

"This time, I believe everyone cares about the evaluation criteria, in fact, it is also very simple, in addition to quality, creativity also accounts for a great bonus."

"What we need for the young generation of the future is not only to build high-tech skills, but also to be able to solidify their minds."

"So, let's do our best."

He said a few words, and then looked himself in the mirror.

Zhou An knew this guy's quirks and thought it was normal, but the others didn't know it, and they all cast strange glances.

In the prefecture-level areas, there are a lot of minerals, and the craftsmen and supervisors will arrange garrisons here.

Don't underestimate these people, these people are not idle people.

Come here, as long as it is related to the mine, it is the number one.

Like Wang Meng, who specializes in managing minerals in Yunlai Mansion, everything must be arranged by the garrison.

Sun Fuling naturally knew Lao Lin's temper, so he didn't care, just waved his hand.

"You can go in, remember, it has any materials you need, you just need to build it in nine days."

"The first four days are used to build weapons, and there will be an assessment when the time comes, and the next four days to build defensive things will also be evaluated, and then they will be synthesized and a total of two people will be recruited."

As Sun Fuling finished saying this, the flow of people also began to flow, and everyone slowly walked towards the inside, in an orderly manner.

Zhou An followed behind and quickly walked through the door.

Behind the gate is an extremely spacious yard.

The yard is surrounded by a patchwork of houses.

These are the places where they live.

Zhou An was taken by a yamen and entered a room.

The facilities in the room are in good condition, and what is even more outrageous is that at the back of the house, there is a casting room, in which various casting materials are placed.

"From the moment you enter the room, you have already started to compete, and we will take care of your food, clothing and daily life in the future, you just need to build it seriously."

After announcing the rules for a while, he asked Zhou An if he needed to eat.

When he came, Zhou An had already eaten, and he replied that he didn't need it, and he left quickly.

When leaving, when he said he needed it, he could open the door and call him at any time.

After the capture was about to leave, Zhou An was not in a hurry to build, but found a place to sit down.

"That woman, it's time to do something." Zhou An thought.

The town commander is estimated to have been moved, but he doesn't know how to act.

However, Zhou An guessed that it should also be related to waiting for the rabbit.

"Think about what to build."

Zhou An came to the building site at the back, looked at the various materials inside, and fell into deep thought.

The evaluation that Lao Lin said just now is not only quality, but also creativity.

Both have to account for a large proportion, which means that both ends cannot be let go.

"I've got to play something new." Zhou An quickly had an idea.

In this world, there are knives, guns, clubs, hooks, forks, axes, these weapons, but he thought of a weapon, which has never appeared in this world.

"Then build this thing."

After figuring it out, Zhou An began to select materials.

I have to say that the materials of the casting road competition held this time are really enough.

It's not just iron ore, but other types of metals are in it.

It was the first time for Zhou An to see so many good materials, so he rubbed his hands and began to choose them patiently.

It's not just him, but others are also patiently choosing.

Some people have an idea and have started to build it, while others are still struggling and have not started construction.

And in the hidden place of this place, Zheng Sifu and his men are in ambush.

"My lord, there's nothing unusual here, no one seems to have come out."

"There is no abnormality in the place we are guarding, and the woman doesn't seem to be planning to do anything here."

"And we're there, it's all quiet."

One after another, some of my subordinates came to report, and the general content was the same.

When Zheng Sifu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

"It's only the first day, keep a good guard, maybe she's going to wait for us to relax before we do it."

The Great Contest of Casting Dao will last for nine days, and after these nine days, something will go wrong if it is not done well.

Don't let up at every second, make sure everything is safe.

The men nodded their heads, and after agreeing, they left one after another, heading to the position they were guarding.

Each place has its own movements.

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.

Zhou An wrapped the long-pole weapon in front of him with a cloth and stretched his waist.

I have to say that he really used a lot of effort to build this time.

The main problem is not the process of building, but trying to remember what the weapon looked like when it was built.

Zhou An was very excited.

This thing is also the first time he has created it, remembering the description of this thing in his previous life, Zhou An felt that he especially wanted it to appear in this world.

Now that it has been built, and the other corners and corners have been completed, Zhou An feels that he suddenly has nothing to do.

It was originally said that it would take four days to build, but now it is completed in two days.

There were still two days left, and Zhou An opened the door.

At the door, two catchers were patiently guarding.

When the door was opened, one of them quickly asked what he wanted.

Here, everything you need for life is provided, except for not being able to go out.

Of course, if you want to go to the Goolan place and find two women to send them over, this is not allowed.

"Send something to eat, Menghualou's roast chicken, and a pot of good wine." Zhou Andao.

It's free, why not eat it?

There is nothing in vain these years.

Besides, Zhou An went to eat it once before, and Menghualou's roast chicken is indeed one of the best.

Catcher nodded quickly and quickly left one.

The other catcher was still guarding the door.

Zhou An was quite bored.

He closed the door and returned to his position.

Now I'm thinking about how to improve other skills.

Now, the Ku Ding Ox Solving Knife Method has reached level five, and all other skills have also reached level four, and it is time to upgrade the other skills to level five.

"At the moment, among the skills I have, I already have the goal of fusion casting."

The previous improvement of the fusion casting method, which was that the arm-length iron bars were attached together, now only need to be shortened.

After all, Blacksmith Zhao also told himself that if he practiced to the extreme, the size of a grain of rice could fit.

But other skills are a bit of a bottleneck at the moment.

Zhou An looked at the materials in the room and smiled.

"I'm striking iron, there will definitely be losses."

Now that the local conditions are adapted, there are just materials, and there is plenty of time, Zhou An does not want to waste it, and it is also good to improve the fusion casting method.

Thinking of this, while the food had not yet been delivered, Zhou An returned to the place where the iron was struck, picked up the materials, and prepared to start improving his proficiency.

"Dingding......

Soon, the room was filled with the sound of banging.

Moments later, two iron bars, partially shrunk, appeared.

Zhou An tried to put the two iron bars together.

This time it was much smaller, and it was a little inadequate when closed, and only one-tenth of the position could be fitted tightly.

There was a word in front of him that his proficiency had increased, and Zhou An knew that he was doing the right thing.

"Go on!"

He was doing it in an orderly manner.

……

On the other side, an ordinary house.

Mi Mo ate the food on the plate, clapped her hands, and looked at Yu Hang who was tied up next to her, revealing a perverted smile.

"The Great Match of the Casting Dao has finally begun, and I am also going to implement my plan, it's time for the entire Yunlai Mansion to fall into a bloody storm."

Speaking of this, Mi Mo seemed to mention the happy place, and even covered her mouth and laughed, the laughter was extremely perverted, and her shoulders shrugged.

Yu Hang witnessed this scene from the sidelines, and although he was tied, he still couldn't stop him from making a sound.

"Vibra femme fatale!"

Mi Mo's laughter stopped and shook his head: "There are more bad people in this world, and I am not one worse, do you think the good people in this world are really good people?" ”

Yu Hang sneered: "I don't know if there are good people in this world, but you must not be a good person." ”

Mi Mo shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "Whatever you think, anyway, this time Yunlai Mansion is afraid that it will be hopeless, as long as they continue to compete, the more exciting it will be at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Mi Mo stood up, came to Yu Hang, and slowly squatted down.

"Zhou An hurt me so badly, I will give him the best treatment, don't worry, I won't kill you."

"I'll kill you in front of him when he finds me, and his expression will be wonderful by then."

"I especially like to see this kind of scene, when I was surrounded and suppressed, and then I was rescued by an ordinary person."

"I burned their children to a pile of ashes in front of them, and their expressions were so painful, I liked it so much."

"Hahaha!"

The more Mimo spoke, the louder she laughed.

Yu Hang's eyes turned red: "What a beast!" I really don't understand why you people have the power to surpass ordinary people, so why do you still have to engage in all these ups and downs? ”

"Why?" The smile on Mimo's face disappeared and was replaced by a cold look.

"I said it was for fairness, do you believe it?"

Yu Hang was stunned.

He felt particularly ridiculous that this vicious demon girl was here to talk to him about fairness.

Seeing Yu Hang's appearance, Mi Mo sneered: "I knew you would be this expression, this organization is all composed of miscellaneous people, don't look at the fact that we have not been established for a long time, but the ultimate goal is to kill all the other three categories." ”

"Do whatever you want, not be bound by everything, and finally let the other three categories die, and the miscellaneous doors will bloom."

Yu Hang frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" Today's four major categories in the world are not enough for a hundred flowers to bloom? ”

Mi Mo shook her head and looked at Yu Hang with the look of a fool.

This look was as if Yu Hang was a blank sheet of paper and didn't understand anything.

"At the beginning, the founder of the Five Elements Burial Sect originally had the ability to unify the miscellaneous sects, but in the end, it was jointly exterminated by the other three major sects."

"Even the people of the miscellaneous sect have to deal with him, and the forging path is one of them."

Mi Mo's voice gradually became gloomy and cold, and her eyes became murderous.

"Since then, I have seen that the so-called righteous path is just a group of fame and fortune villains, and they can't see any miscellaneous things, because once they get up, they can surpass them, so they make a move."

"It's really disgusting that even the people of the miscellaneous sect themselves are willing to be lackeys, they would never have thought that if they could unify the miscellaneous sect and let everyone practice the Five Elements Burial Method, then we would be the only ones in this world."

Speaking of this, Mimo seemed to think of those traitors, and her tone became even colder.

It was also the first time Yu Hang had heard of these secrets, but he found a blind spot in them and shouted, "What does that have to do with ordinary people? And the disadvantage of the Five Elements Burial Method is to mutilate other people's lives, can this kind of thing last for a long time? ”

"The three major categories in the world are connected with the people of the miscellaneous sects, not because they are afraid that the miscellaneous sects are too strong to control, but because they want to change all this."

He could see that the woman in front of him was more distorted than he had imagined.

Especially this kind of weird logic, which is not something that a normal person can think of at all.

An exercise that requires other people's lives as a price, to tell the truth, this kind of practice that is not destroyed is intolerable.

Sure enough, he just had this idea, and Mi Mo's next sentence confirmed his idea.

"Why care about the lives of ordinary people?"

"What if the world is without them, how many people are born in the world every day? What can happen to these dead people? ”

"There are only a few resources, and dying some people can make others more resources can make this world a better place."

Mi Mo looked at Yu Hang with a very strange look, as if what Yu Hang said was wrong.

Yu Hang chose to keep his mouth shut.

He felt that it would be superfluous to pull with this woman.

Because this woman has been completely distorted, it is impossible to break it back with just a few words.

Even if she breaks it back, this woman will definitely die.

Others don't know Zhou An, but he Yu Hang knows Zhou An best.

This brother of his own family will never let go of any enemy.

This woman's death was predetermined, and it can only be said that it was sooner or later.

Mi Mo saw that Yu Hang didn't speak, and felt very bored.

"Time is getting faster and faster, and I'm looking forward to the tragedy that will happen."

……

Two days were not much, and they passed in the blink of an eye.

Or maybe it's a good place.

I don't know what material the room is made of, and the soundproofing is great.

Even the sound of someone striking is extremely subtle.

Obviously, Sun Fuling was thinking about this scene.

After the first four days had finally passed, Zhou An stayed in his room and heard footsteps outside.

He put down the iron bar in his hand and picked up the long strip of goods wrapped in cloth.

Outside the door, the sound changed from sparse to thick, and finally a loud voice came.

"When the time comes, please come out and remember to bring the weapons you have built."

When this voice sounded, people opened the door of the room one after another.

Zhou An also opened the door and walked out, carrying the long weapon wrapped in cloth on his shoulder.

As soon as he went out, he saw all kinds of weapons, each with a different shape, but he could only see the outline, because they were all wrapped in cloth.

This is also a requirement of the government.

No one can say for sure that someone will see someone else's crafted item at the last minute and then wait for an opportunity to steal and copy it.

So even at the last moment, he won't show his weapon.

Originally, I thought about using wooden boxes or other boxes, but I thought that some people created things that were not suitable for being placed inside, so it was better to cover them directly with cloth.

After all, in the past, there were blacksmiths who made extremely sharp objects, but they couldn't fit in wooden boxes at all.

When you encounter such a sharp object, just cover it with a wider cloth.

Everyone has confidence on their faces, as if what they have built is the best.

Zhou An was bored and looked at the position in the middle.

Lao Lin was already waiting there, patiently waiting for everyone to arrive.

Not to mention, even if he is waiting for someone, Lao Lin wipes his hair from time to time, as if he is very persistent about his appearance.

After waiting for a while, when the last person came out of the room, all the people had already arrived.

Sun Fuling, who was standing next to him, coughed, meaning don't mess with your mirror anymore.

Lao Lin came back to his senses, glanced at everyone, and said, "Start with you, open the weapon." ”

It was a young man standing not far away, holding an arm-length object in his hand.

After he heard Lao Lin's words, he hugged the things in his hand tighter.

"I ...... Open in front of so many people? ”

Lao Lin said: "Let's go a little more efficient, okay, I'm here, none of them can do any cheating, the reason why I let you cover it with a cloth is because I was not there during that time." ”

After all, he was from the Craftsman's Warden, and when he said this, the young man let go of his courage and carefully uncovered the cloth.

When the young man lifted the cloth, it revealed a long sword.

However, the hilt of this sword has been shaped, especially the position of the hand, which is a little dented, as if it is better to hold.

Lao Lin just glanced at it briefly, took out a piece of paper, recorded it with a pen, and asked the young man's name at the same time, and then looked at another young man.

Then, it went on in an orderly manner.

There is also a lot of waste paper, after all, everyone uses a piece of paper to record, Zhou An guessed, this should be a specific assessment.

Every time Lao Lin's gaze passed by Zhou An, he quickly skimmed over, as if he hadn't seen it.

Evaluate them one by one.

All kinds of weapons were also revealed, which opened Zhou An's eyes.

The weapons of these people have been improved, but fundamentally speaking, no specific major changes have been made, it is just more convenient.

Of course, it's nice to be able to make these changes.

Some of them are really practical things.

At this time, the assessment came to Long Xing.

Long Xing removed the cloth from his hand, revealing a pair of hooks.

The shape of the double hook is peculiar, and there is not much to add.

But in terms of construction, it is beautiful enough.

Lao Lin just glanced at it, then stopped caring about it, and recorded what he saw just now on paper.

No one doubted Lao Lin's vision, after all, he was supervised by a craftsman, and he was also a master of forging the Dao.

Sometimes, the master of the path only needs to take a look, and it's as simple as that.

Long Xing's inspection was over, and it was the turn of the two people next to Long Xing.

These two people are the young people who used a sword and a bow at the beginning.

The two young men are still fighting to this day, and they are both vying for the first, wanting to show their weapons first.

These two guys are fighting, and even at this time, they are starting to discriminate between occasions.

"Alright, alright, you two show it together." Lao Lin said impatiently.

The two of them unanimously lifted the cloth on their hands.

Zhou An also looked over curiously.

But soon, he was slightly disappointed.

In fact, up to now, all the building items of these young people are a few points lower in Zhou An's eyes, even if it is the creation of Long Xing, it is not very good.

He felt that it was not that his vision was too high, but that the proficiency of the fusion casting method was too high, so correspondingly, the casting methods of this group of people were low.

Both young men showed their own things, which were actually good in the eyes of others.

Lao Lin nodded, and took out two more pieces of paper to write down.

At this time, the young man with the sword said, "My lord, you haven't said which of us is higher and which is lower?" ”

The young man with the bow also said, "Yes, my lord, do you say that the sword is better or the bow is better?" ”

Lao Lin didn't think there was anything offensive about these two people, after all, as a person who forged the Dao, it was best to be able to have the psychology of competition.

"What's there to fight for, what's the point of fighting for second?"

When the two of them heard this, they all showed puzzled expressions, not only them, but even everyone else was puzzled.

Fight for second?

What does that mean?

Only Long Xing sighed.

"Yes, in this game, you can only fight for second place forever."

As soon as his words came out, everyone was even more confused.

Lao Lin waved his hand, didn't explain anything, and let the next person continue.

But the words just now have left an imprint in everyone's hearts, and everyone understands this first position, as if someone has already decided.

The young people present were all young and vigorous, and they were not convinced by each other, so they all stared intently.

This caused the young people in the back to be very nervous.

But the assessment has to go on.

After another young man was pacified, everyone present was also confused.

These people behind don't seem to be outstanding.

Time gradually passed, and the corners of Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly.

This Lao Lin has not let him participate, obviously putting him behind.

He could already imagine what would happen next.

Don't think about the back, in the current situation, there are fewer and fewer people, and in the end, only yourself is left.

I have to say that this passive feeling is really refreshing.

It feels more refreshing than going to the bright surface.

As more and more people showed their weapons, there were only a few people left in the end.

Until the end, only Zhou An was left.

At this time, everyone's eyes were cast.

The fewer people there are, the more people are watching from behind.

Everyone was looking forward and excited, not knowing who the first person was to be determined.

Every time a weapon is uncovered, there are people who look forward to it, but in the end they all turn into disappointment.

Because these weapons are not much different from their own, they are just a little different in creativity.

But when only Zhou An was left in the end, everyone knew who Lao Lin was talking about just now.

"I knew it was him." Long Xing smiled bitterly.

Next to him, the young man with the sword said puzzledly: "Long Xing, do you know him?" ”

The bitterness on Long Xing's face became even stronger: "You will know if you look at it, I will not let you down." ”

The young man with the sword was stunned.

He knows Long Xing's temper, and he rarely convinces people, and his expression at this time is obviously convinced.

"Could this person really be that kind of peerless genius?"

Such thoughts not only appear here, but other people think like this, and some people are still not convinced and want to see it.

"Bring it up." Lao Lin stretched out his hand.

Who is Zhou An?

Two lives as a man.

In this kind of scene, he is very calm.

Putting the long weapon in his hand on Lao Lin's body, Zhou An grabbed the corner of the cloth and tore the cloth apart......
