The largest inn in Daoxue Town is called Xiangmanlou, and it seems that the roast duck inside is very famous.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi walked along the way, and the two talked and laughed and exchanged their experiences of eating roast duck. Xiao Sizi was not careful, but was very knowledgeable about food. Because Gongsun loved him too much, he always tried to make some delicious food for him to eat. Therefore, at a young age, he was a small gourmet. Not to mention Zhan Zhao, food is a big hobby in his life.

The two of them had a good atmosphere and were a little hungry. They hurried to the door of Xiangman Tower, but felt a little strange.

What's strange? It's not about bloody storms, but... there are no one in the huge inn, but there are a few curious friends and passers-by outside.

This is unreasonable. It is time for dinner, so there should be many people eating.

Zhan Zhao came to the person who looked like a guy and looked at him curiously, and the little son looked at him too.

But there wasn't a single person on the first floor, and I don't know what they were looking at.

The guy felt someone behind him, and when he turned his face, he saw Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi’s two faces, one big and one small, but both of them had big eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan Zhao asked the guy in confusion, "Don't Xiangmanlou do business?"

"It's done..." The guy nodded stupidly.

Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi looked at each other and went into the building together to find Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu.

"well!"

The guy stopped Zhan Zhao, "Young master, don't go in with a baby, there are warriors fighting inside."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, "Who is fighting?"

"It's scary, it's flying!" The guy said vividly, "The tables and chairs on the upper floors are all lying on the ground, one man in black and the other in white."

Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi looked at each other - wasn't Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang fighting?

Zhan Zhaoxin said that this is not bad? He stopped walking the stairs, jumped to the second floor and shouted, "Mutuality is the most important!"

...

On the second floor, except for the table in the middle, the tables and chairs around them were indeed lying on the ground. Zhan Zhao was an expert, and he was shocked by internal force.

However, there was no tension. The table was still intact. At the table, Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang were sitting opposite each other, holding a wine glass in their hands, and turned their faces together to look at Zhan Zhao on the balcony railing on the second floor.

Beside them, Ouyang was holding chopsticks, Ziying was holding a rice bowl, and Zheying was holding a spoon. The three of them looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao blinked—Isn’t there any fight?

“Exhibition.”

Zhan Zhao turned his face and saw Xiao Sizi poking his shoulder, "The slippers are going to fall off!"

Zhan Zhao looked down and saw that the wooden slipper on Xiao Sizi's feet was "living a thread". He quickly reached out and jumped into the railing, put the slippers on Xiao Sizi, and went to the table, wondering, "The guy downstairs said you are fighting!"

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu were both stunned. After looking at each other, they seemed to understand.

Ouyang Le, "They can kill you if you don't have a fight."

Bai Yutang poured Zhan Zhao a glass of wine and asked him to sit down.

Zhan Zhao sat down and put Xiao Sizi aside. Ziying pulled Xiao Sizi over and fed him to eat. He liked the child's appearance very much.

Zhan Zhao understood that Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang both used swords, while Yun Zhongda and Xinting Hou should be monsters in swords. When they met, they might have a chance to get friends with swords, which seemed like the two of them did something back. After looking at the second floor, they were almost all destroyed. Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied, "Do you two remember to lose money."

Zhao Pu smiled, "Natural."

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhan Zhao saw that Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang were getting along well, so he felt relieved and asked Zhao Pu, "What are you asking for inquiries about Bai Yutang?"

"Brother Zhan has heard of the sword demon?" Zhao Pu asked.

Zhan Zhao was originally holding up the chopsticks to eat, but when he heard Zhao Pu's words, he put them down, "So he was asking him this, does this have anything to do with your sudden visit to Dao and Axe Town?"

"A little bit." Zhao Pu drank a glass of wine. Seeing Xiao Sizi looking at the wine glass in his hand curiously while eating, he handed it over, "Can you taste it?"

"Oh!" Ziying quickly grabbed the wine glass, "How old is he, just let him drink!"

"I won't die if I try it." Zhao Pu curled his lips, "Will you know how to drink when you didn't steal a sip of wine when you were a child?"

Purple shadow flat mouth.

Zhao Pu smiled and teased the little fourth son, "Taste a little, don't tell your father, it's okay."

The little Sizi smiled and took the wine glass, tasted it, and stuck out his tongue, "It's bitter!"

Everyone made him amused. Zhan Zhao smiled with a wine glass, glanced at Bai Yutang beside him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It seemed that he was in a good mood.

"That's the case." After Zhao Pu teased Xiao Sizi, he turned around and told Zhan Zhao about serious things. "A strange thing happened near our military camp a while ago."

Zhan Zhao listened carefully.

"A short of the fortress in the northwest, a temporary shed will be built at this time of year." Zhao Pu said, "I will invite many sword casting masters to come there. On the one hand, I will create some new weapons, and on the other hand, I will help the soldiers renovate the gaps or rusted knives."

Zhan Zhao nodded. There was basically no war at this time of year. Renovating and reserving weapons was a must-do, so he asked, "What?"

"Then something strange happened." Zhao Pu said, "This time, this batch of iron ore was transported from the west. It was not good enough. The knives casting masters all said that the knives made must be inferior products, so I had to find a way to find another batch of iron ore. A local guide told me that there was a hematite ore near the edge of the desert in the northwest. Someone had mined it before, and a batch of knives was said to be red knives, and iron was cut like mud. But later, the iron ore became deserted. "

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - this is indeed a good thing.

Zhao Pu seemed to be dry and hooked his fingers to Zhuying, that's what he meant - you keep going, I'll take a break.

While serving soup to Xiao Sizi, Zheying said, "I took people to explore, and brought a few blacksmiths with knives. After seeing it, several masters said it was the best hematite ore, so they dug it up. We transported many good ore back, and wanted to make more weapons."

Zhan Zhao drank the soup and wondered, "This is a good thing. What does it have to do with Dao and Axe Town?"

"The problem is that after the iron ore was taken back, the knife was cast, but three sword casting masters died."

"Why?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"The causes of the three sword casting masters are all the same." Zhe Ying said, "When the sword casting is made, he has bloody eyes. After the casting is finished, he suddenly becomes crazy when he is tested, and finally kills himself."

Zhan Zhao didn't remember drinking soup when he heard this, "Are all three people using knives like this?"

Zhe Ying nodded, "At that time, we felt something was wrong. All the knives casting projects were stopped. I checked with the doctor. All the knives casting masters had some changes. They started to get angry and their eyes were bloodshot and refused to rest, just like the demon."

Zhan Zhao is so smart. He understood as soon as he heard it, "Is there something wrong with that batch of iron and stone?"

"I thought so at that time, so I found several doctors to see him." Zhao Pu shook his head, "but I didn't find out what was wrong.

"I even invited the master to dance." Ziying carefully picked out boneless roast duck for Xiao Sizi and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "What wizard, great god, all the great immortals have invited me to come and see you. Everyone understands what's going on."

"Until later, an old local guide told the legend about the evil mine." Ouyang seemed to be full, and hugged Xiao Sizi, fed him and let Ziying eat his own.

Zhan Zhao wanted to concentrate on listening to them about this bizarre thing, but seeing these famous generals holding Xiao Sizi and feeding like a kitten, how could he be so skillful?

"The babies in the military camp are all stocked." Zheying seemed to be a very careful person. She saw Zhan Zhao's doubts and helped explain, "The Marshal is the king of children. The little devils in the military camp like to eat with him, the big devil, and we all help feed them."

Zhan Zhao nodded and had a new understanding of the military camp. Although Zhao Pu and these generals were very famous, they did not have much airs and were very easy-going and friendly. I wonder why Gongsun seemed to have had a marriage with them? However, Zhan Zhao also had a good impression of Gongsun. Although this scholar had a weird temper, he was kind-hearted and kind. Seeing that he took care of his little son so well, he was definitely a good person and a good doctor! There must be a misunderstanding between the two.

"Evil Mining..." Bai Yutang said to himself, "Is there any evil thing in the mine?"

"It is said that the mine was discovered about a hundred decades ago. At that time, many grazing tribes were active in this area. One of them accidentally found the iron ore while looking for water sources, and began to mine quietly to create weapons."

"That's a death sentence, right?" Zhan Zhao asked, "No matter who belongs to this place at that time, privately opening iron ore to cast weapons is definitely a serious crime."

"So it was discovered later, and the entire tribe was wiped out and blood-stained the mine." Ouyang shook his head, "But from then on, any country or tribe that mined the iron ore to cast weapons would be destroyed within a year as long as it was stained."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "So evil?"

"So it's an evil mine." Ouyang nodded.

"I've talked for a long time..." Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Pu, "There is something that can suppress your evil mine, evil iron, and evil weapons?"

"To calm the anger of these swords, you need the earliest sword." Zhao Pu shrugged, "So I want to find a sword demon."

"What is the sword demon?" Because I couldn't eat it, Xiao Sizi, who finally got idle, couldn't help but raise his face and ask everyone.

"The sword demon is also called the sword soul, or the sword blood." Zhan Zhao said, "Often some madmen cast swords or swords, and like to add other things to it, such as their own blood, or other people's blood, animal teeth, or simply cast them with people. In order to make the sword have a life, the character of the owner or the character that the owner wants."

The little Sizi blinked, "Is it true?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, and the reason why Zhao Pu asked him for verification was because he was the disciple of Tianzun. Everyone in the martial arts world knew that Tianzun was a sword fool and an expert in studying swords. He might have an understanding of the legend of the sword demon.

"The sword demon the marshal is looking for is the first sword that the tribe leader used his own blood to cast with his own blood." Ziying thought for a while, "It is said that the knife was melted and poured into the iron juice, and the re-created knife became quiet."

"That knife is in the Knife and Axe Town?" Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu didn't say anything.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang and raised his eyebrows slightly at him, which seemed to be asking - do you believe it?

Bai Yutang kept silent. When he saw Zhan Zhao asking, he put down his wine glass, "My master said that this is nonsense."

Zhan Zhao nodded, looking at Zhao Pu, he doesn’t look like such a superstitious person, do you believe in such a foggy thing?

Zhao Pu looked at the two of them and was happy, "Of course I don't believe it, but I found some investigations."

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang continued to listen.

"One thing happened in Daofu Town was that an iron mine was dug in the deep mountains. The ore produced caused weapons. Before it was transported out of the town, the knife casting master and the knife transporter killed each other."

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "How many years ago did this happen?"

Zhao Pu stretched out two fingers, "Two years ago."

"So close?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "No one knew about so many people after they died?"

"Because the sword-casting master and the escort master were both soldiers." Zhao Pudao, "and the war was in a tense way at that time, so in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, there was no public publicity."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Is the same ore..."
