Chapter 7 The Storm is Coming

Nanshan County, Tiannan Road is the closest county to the mountainous area.

Due to its remote location, Nanshan County has always had few outsiders, and the total population flow in one county is only over 3,000.

However, recently, Nanshan County has been experiencing frequent major events. First, more than a month ago, a fire broke out in a valley ten miles away from the county seat. The fire spread very quickly in the dry climate of autumn, burning a three-mile radius into white ground.

Then the legendary Mohist Zhige Ling was born near Nanshan County. It is said that this order contains the martial arts inheritance of Lin Tiange, one of the nine calculations of the Mohist family. That person was a great master in the realm of refining gods and transforming into virtuality. This kind of master has been repeated many times.

There aren’t many people in Daxia.

It is said that this token is now obtained by Star Picker, one of the ten thieves in Tiannan. This thief is currently roaming the mountains around Nanshan County and has killed nearly a hundred people who met him in the past few days.

After disguising himself, Qin Yang was sitting in a tavern in Nanshan County, listening to the people around him talking about what had happened in the past month.

This kind of important event, which is well known to everyone, is most likely to arouse people's desire to talk, and it becomes the basis of drunken conversation among people who come to Nanshan County.

No, after just a few glasses of wine, Qin Yang basically understood the general situation during this period.

‘Lin Tiange·······’

Qin Yang thought about this name in his heart, 'Isn't this my uncle?'

His masters, Lin Daoyou and Lin Tiange, were brothers from the same mother. In terms of seniority, Lin Tiange was Qin Yang's uncle.

It's just that Qin Yang has never met this uncle, and all he knows about him comes from his master Lin Daoyou.

The reason for this is simply because Lin Tiange died a long time ago, in a great chaos ten years ago.

Qin Yang was accepted as a disciple by Lin Daoyou after Lin Tiange died.

Since Lin Tiange is Qin Yang's uncle, then the so-called Zhi Ge Order in the hands of the Star Picking Thief...

‘Interesting!’ Qin Yang sneered in his heart.

The order to stop the war left by Lin Tiange was still well hidden in Qin Yang's previous hiding place. Qin Yang buried it three meters deep under the waterfall.

Basically, except for those who know where the token is, no one else will just dive into the pool under the waterfall and dig down three meters.

‘It seems that there is someone behind this star-catching thief. Is it Liang Xueyun’s master? Or someone else?’

No matter who it is, Qin Yang feels that he has found a very good use point.

That night, in the blacksmith shop in the east of Nanshan County, a middle-aged blacksmith who had been busy all day was sleeping soundly with his mother-in-law in his arms. A cold pain in his neck slowly woke him up.

"This..." The blacksmith subconsciously wanted to avoid the cold sword across his neck, but the cold sight in the darkness made him stop unconsciously.

"Your wife has already been touched by me, so there is no need to worry about waking her up."

A hoarse voice came from not far away. Hearing the words, the blacksmith nodded hurriedly and said: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"You are quite smart."

Qin Yang threw a rolled-up scroll onto the blacksmith's chest, "I have only one request, to build the tokens above overnight. The more the better."

The blacksmith unfolded the paper with trembling hands, and when he saw the extremely simple graphics on it, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Creating tokens is not about making farm tools, it requires slow and careful work, and it takes much more time than others.

However, the token on this drawing is so simple, so it doesn't take much time. Just make a mold and mass-produce the prototype directly, and then just do a little carving.

"My hero," the blacksmith swallowed subconsciously, "if I just build it according to the drawings, I can produce at least twenty tokens in one night."

"Then go quickly."

"Yes." The blacksmith hurriedly got up.

Life is in the hands of others, and the blacksmith doesn't care that he has worked hard all day. It is better to save his life now.

Next, the blacksmith burst out with a desire to survive and went beyond his limit. He kept hammering for six hours, and at the break of dawn, he punched out thirty-five tokens and handed them to Qin Yang.

When Qin Yang, who was masked in black scarf, took the token and walked away directly, the blacksmith instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Finally gone..."

He breathed heavily, feeling frightened for a while.

When he just handed the token to the other party, he really thought that he was going to be silenced. Fortunately, the man in black didn't seem to be murderous and spared his life.

"Nanshan County is getting more and more unsafe, and there are an astonishing number of people in the world lately. Tomorrow... no, today! I will go to my mother-in-law's house with my mother-in-law today to take a break. At least we have to wait until the storm has passed before we come back."

Although he didn't know what the masked man wanted these tokens for, the blacksmith knew that it would definitely be a big trouble.

It's best not to get involved in this trouble.

The survival wisdom of ordinary people told him that things involving Jianghu people should be avoided if possible, and if they cannot be avoided, they should find ways to avoid them.

Although the blacksmith knew that he had been involved in the whirlpool after forging those tokens, but the ants were still alive, couldn't he see if he could escape first?

Under the current circumstances, living in a neighboring county for a while is the best option.

Immediately, the blacksmith forcibly pushed up his tired body, went back to the house to wake up his wife, packed his luggage, and prepared to go to her natal home to avoid the limelight.

Then that same day, a pickpocket in Nanshan County stole a black iron order from a pedestrian.

The iron ring was inconspicuous and did not look like something owned by a well-dressed pedestrian. The pickpocket suspected that he had touched something worthless.

However, he still hoped for a chance and took the iron order to the pawn shop for identification to see if he was blind.

When he went to the pawn shop, there were several beggars looking around.

Although Tiannan Road is not the main area of ​​influence of the Beggar Clan, and the Beggar Clan has not established a branch here, there is a shortage of everyone in the world, except beggars.

Where there are beggars, there are beggars within reach.

Ever since, the news of this iron order reached the hands of the Beggar Clan. Then, when the Beggar Clan moved, other people also took action after hearing the news.

This is still just the beginning, Qin Yang still has thirty-four pirated anti-gold orders that have not yet been issued.

After he knew that the order to stop the Star Raider was fake, he assumed that the Star Raider was related to his enemy. Whatever the enemy wanted, he wanted to destroy. And he could also use this opportunity to stir up chaos.

Let yourself profit from chaos, why not?

The next day, four Jianghu people outside Nanshan County were killed beside the official road. Before his death, one of them wrote a twisted word "stop" with his finger stained with blood.
