Chapter 5: Inside Songmon Castle

Although the geographical location of Songmen City is relatively remote, and the location is close to the border of the dragon's tongue, the terrain is dangerous, but it is not inferior to the other eleven cities compared to the prosperity, the reason is that there are rich special resources near Songmen City.

The dragon tongue border is rich in precious herbs and metal ore veins, you must know that these years to run the rivers and lakes rely not only on fists and feet and tongue, but also on powerful blades and life-saving means are also particularly important.

The invulnerable horizontal practice kung fu described in those street miscellaneous records is not unpracticed, but you also have to see what kind of knife and gun you have, even if you practice horizontal kung fu, you can't stand the magic weapon to come like that, after all, how to practice is also flesh and blood, there is no need to fight hard with steel and meteorite.

As for life-saving methods, in addition to healing drugs, the most commonly used is probably poison. Chased and killed by the enemy or the enemy, the person who chased was accidentally hit, and could only do the luck of the drug or go back to the house for treatment, and the chased person took this opportunity to escape, there is no shortage of such cases on the rivers and lakes, and the heart-wrenched person who got a little ecstasy and scattered three steps or something, and the heart-wrenched and ruthless thought that I could fight back, that is, what is so powerful, for fear that the back of the death will not be able to fall, and if you are lucky, you can turn back and stab a horse pistol forever.

In the same way, Songmen City is the most indispensable thing for blacksmiths and pharmacists, so Songmen City is the only place in the twelve cities that is rich in weapons and blades and healing medicines, and the army on the Dragontongue Border is the blade armor worn out by the battle, and the healing drugs consumed are basically the nearest supplies, as one of the twelve cities closest to the Dragontongue Border, Songmen City has become the best supply station, so more than half of the annual military expenses of the border guards on the Dragontongue Border have entered the pockets of Songmen City, so Songmen City can even be said to be the richest city among the twelve cities。

Relying on these local products, Songmen City not only contracted the supply of the Tequila border army, but also became the favorite place for herb merchants and people from the rivers and lakes, the hot and humid environment of the Tequila border is very suitable for the growth of herbs, attracting a large number of herb merchants to come to buy, and the minerals in the mountains have attracted countless people from the rivers and lakes who are eager for good materials to build their own exclusive blades.

The annual tax revenue alone is an astronomical amount, and it is no wonder that the lord of Songmen City has spare money to relieve the refugees.

......

Although the will from the Liyang Palace is constantly expelling outsiders these days, making people panic, the streets of Songmen City are still bustling with people.

"Looking for people to find people, how can it be so easy to find. Grandpa will have some problems and make things difficult. Bai Xiaosheng, who walked blindly with the crowd, frowned and muttered in his mouth, holding a piece of sheepskin in his hand, the edge of which was tied by bamboo silk, and the bamboo silk was soaked in a special insect repellent potion, which could protect the sheepskin from being eaten by insects and ants.

Everyone thinks that the reporter is a loose group of rivers and lakes, but in fact, the reporter is a family group, and never absorbs new members from outside the family, and the new reporter has always been selected from the direct family to be absorbed, among which the best reporter who has the most information about the rivers and lakes is called the Jianghu Walk, and the Jianghu Walking can mobilize all the resources of the reporter group for his own use, but at the same time he also shoulders a major mission, and Bai Xiaosheng is the Jianghu walking of this generation.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the sheepskin, this sheepskin is a necessary thing for generations of rivers and lakes, the top of the sheepskin has been painted with embroidery, the pattern is very strange, it is a bird, but the bird has nine heads, and it is doing wings soaring.

The embroiderer is obviously a skilled craftsman, using a variety of different colors of silk thread to embroider these patterns on it, especially the soaring nine-headed bird, each bird head with delicate means to embroider the eyes, and even the eye lines are drawn out by the craftsman with very fine silk threads, the corners of the eyes involved in the eye lines are raised high, looking like looking down, and like mockery.

"This sheepskin is a hundred years old, is a person who has been looking for a hundred years and has not found it really alive in this world?"

Now the rivers and lakes all understand that practicing martial arts can prolong life, and those who cultivate to a high level can live beyond a hundred years old, but except for the old man who has reached the age of 100, Bai Xiaosheng doesn't understand why the elders in the family firmly believe that person is still alive in this world.

In order to find that person through this pattern, Bai Xiaosheng put in a lot of hard work, checked history books, looked for strange news, and even rummaged through those conjecture articles that made up some absurd stories only to pass the time, and finally locked his search eyes on the last place where the clues appeared - Songmen City.

The history of the nine-headed bird coat of arms is unexpectedly long, and it can even be traced back to three hundred years ago, Bai Xiaosheng once asked the oldest old man in the rivers and lakes about this coat of arms, but the old man in the rock knew nothing, shook his head slowly, and refused to even reveal a word.

"The old man must know something, and he must be scrupling if he refuses to tell me. Thinking of this, Bai Xiaosheng became even more curious about this person.

The streets of Songmen City are full of blacksmith shops and medical hall pharmacies, the scorching heat wave generated by the blowing furnace in the blacksmith shop and the smell of medicine escaping from the medical hall pharmacy are mixed together, the whole Songmen City is shrouded in a strange smell, all the blacksmith shops in Songmen City burn the charcoal used to burn the stove are fired by the surrounding pine trees, the smell of pine pine resin mixed with the unique mixed smell of Songmen City drilled into Bai Xiaosheng's nose, Bai Xiaosheng, who had just arrived, couldn't help but sneeze constantly at first, but after a while of getting used to this smell, he felt that this smell was better than any fat-burning musk。

casually found a blacksmith shop, Bai Xiaosheng got in, and a blacksmith apprentice with a baby face who was still a child hurriedly greeted him: "This gentleman, what do you need?" We have a good dagger and a short knife, the most exquisite iron pen inkstone, and the most elegant iron fracture fan, you can take a look at it." ”

Bai Xiaosheng was still dressed as a scholar with a cage on his back, although he borrowed the Lu family brothers' horses halfway to save a lot of time, but he was still inevitably contaminated with wind and dust, and he looked like a scholar in a hurry.

In these years, almost no one will not learn martial arts, Songmen City is close to the border of the dragon's tongue, some refugees and deserters have become bandits and thieves nearby, some scholars who have traveled through the mountains and rivers will occasionally buy some blades for self-defense, this blacksmith shop will hang ordinary blades on the left wall, these blades seem to be clumsy, but they are the most practical, some old rivers and lakes like to buy this kind of blade, this kind of blade is equivalent to the embryo body of the blade, you can choose to take it away directly after choosing the embryo body, you can also choose to add a fee to let the blacksmith shop process the embryo body, this weapon is very easy to get started after a short period of running-in。

On the right wall is a sword with intricate poems and inscriptions, an iron pen carved by a carved landscape, and an iron fracture fan that imitates the surface of a famous fan, which is much more fancy than the ancient blade on the left, and the price is much more expensive than the blade on the opposite wall.

The blacksmith shop business is obviously good, there are four or five people standing there on the left and right walls to pick and choose, the left wall is received by a strong man, all the weapons can be played in his hands, the moves are not practical, but it looks majestic; the right wall is a few young girls with good faces to explain, not about the practicality of those weapons, but about the meaning of the pattern on it, a few young women are funny and elegant in this blacksmith shop really attracted a lot of attention, the temperature in the blacksmith shop is quite high, the girl is wearing a laminated light yarn, fragrant sweat, light yarn stained sweat through the looming skin, so that the eyes of the few people who came to buy the blades did not know where to go, and it was only a matter of time before they looked dizzy and dug into their pockets.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help laughing, the person who ran this blacksmith shop was also a wonderful person.
