The feeling that Ziyang City brought to Chen Yunsheng was completely different from Night Flame City, where there were no towering Babel Towers, no wide and straight streets, no divergent market squares, and no solemn and tall palaces.
There are only low-rise buildings and slums with strange shapes.
But that doesn't mean the city is smaller and less populous than Nightglow.
Chen Yunsheng lamented how people could survive in the dense anthill-like buildings.
No matter how difficult the living conditions are, the faces of the people here are filled with smiles like the sun.
This kind of positive energy that melted everything made the depression in his heart dissolve seven or eight points, "Although these people are poor, although they are small, and although they don't know how to cultivate, they understand the meaning of life better.
Chen Yunsheng pointed to a group of children playing by the water in front of him, and three or five women who were doing laundry and laughing.
"Most of the people of the country of Pilu believe in the ancient gods of Xiaotian, and they believe in those ancient creation legends.
However, the royal family did not force people to believe in a certain god, which is rare in the Ilha Verde continent.
Xue Li explained on the side.
"It's good that people have the right to choose the true God they believe in."
Chen Yunsheng nodded in admiration.
Yi Xiaohu dodged a few children who were laughing and playing, and asked, "Master, do you have a goal, which refining master do you want to visit?"
” "I heard that there is a family in the country of Pilu that specializes in refining weapons, it should be the Cao family, but I don't know if there is still this family."
Chen Yunsheng said.
"Cao family, of course there is.
In Ziyang City, there are only two places where the buildings are slightly larger, one is the Imperial City, and the other is the Cao family.
The Cao family's fame is not limited to the Pilu Kingdom, even the Cold Moon Kingdom far away in the north has many people who come to ask for magic weapons. ” Xue Li walked a few steps, pointed to an ironcraft workshop and said: "This is the Cao family's property, you see that there is a lock-shaped mark engraved on the door number, this is the Cao family's mark." ” Seeing this mark, Chen Yunsheng seemed to have suddenly returned to the days in the phantom dust space, those yellow sands, those soul fragments.
It was as if it had just happened yesterday.
In this way, I thought of Liu Xiaoshan, as well as the scene of Taibai Peak's snowy night and Zhuge Jingyu and Ye Chuanyun sorting the fragments of the magic weapon.
Touching the mark, his heart was mixed, a touch of sourness, a touch of bitterness, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Xue Li knew that Chen Yunsheng remembered the past again, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Seeing the two of them fall into deep thought, Yi Xiaohu kept quiet quite sensibly until Chen Yunsheng returned to reality from his memories.
"Let's go, let's go and meet the people of the Cao family."
Chen Yunsheng took the lead in striding into the workshop.
The light in the room was not bright, and there were metal semi-finished products piled up everywhere, with different shapes, and with Chen Yunsheng's knowledge, he still didn't know what it was for.
A young apprentice kept pushing and pulling the bellows, and a piece of fine iron in the furnace with red flames gradually melted into molten iron.
The two men poured molten iron into the mold, and when the temperature cooled slightly, they picked up a sledgehammer and beat it repeatedly until the temperature dropped, and then put it into the fire again.
Chen Yunsheng came to a dilapidated counter, and in front of the counter stood an old man, dressed in tatters, but his body exuded an aura that only monks have.
The old man did a good job of gathering qi, and he couldn't see his cultivation.
Chen Yunsheng said politely: "Dare to ask the old man is a member of the Cao family."
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the other party for a while, and said a little unceremoniously: "My surname is Cao, what do you have to do to build an ordinary blade and just say it to the one who strikes iron." ” "I don't know who Cao Kun is, Cao family," Chen Yunsheng stared at each other with eyes like water.
The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, put down the ledger in his hand, and said, "Who are you?"
Chen Yunsheng smiled and said, "I just learned about Cao Kun's news by chance, and I want to tell the people of the Cao family. ” "He, is he still alive now" The old man's body was shocked, and his eyes looked anxiously at the young man opposite.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if you are from the Cao family, dare to ask my father-in-law's seniority in the Cao family," Chen Yunsheng said unhurriedly.
"I am Cao Yang, if you follow the genealogy, Cao Kun is the grandfather of the head of the family.
In other words, he is the twentieth generation head of the Cao family.
I want to call him grandfather.
Please also inform your grandparents of the news.
The old man's tone of voice was obviously much more polite.
"Are we going to discuss this here?"
said Chen Yunsheng, looking around at the chaotic surroundings.
Cao Yang snorted, walked out of the counter, and shouted to the big man who was striking iron: "You two take care of the business for the time being, I have something urgent."
With that, he made a gesture of please, and walked out of the blacksmith shop with Chen Yunsheng and the others.
The warm winter sun shone on the street, although the old man was not young, but his steps were very vigorous, and he didn't say a word along the way, and took Chen Yunsheng through a narrow street to the door of a mansion.

Compared with many mansions that Chen Yunsheng has seen, this mansion does not stand out, but it seems a bit unique in Ziyang City.
Because it is opposite an endless complex of low-rise buildings, and the pawns of the peddlers who buy left and buy are bustling, so it is not lively.
When the old man came to the door, two guards had already stepped forward.
The old man whispered a few words to them, and the two of them ran into the inner hall as quickly as possible.
"I have already reported to the head of the Cao family, he is very busy, and I am not sure if he would like to see you.
No matter what your intentions are, if you can really bring the message of the Cao family's ancestors, we will express our kindness to you.
The old man said sonorously and powerfully, but without losing his grace.
"I'm tired."
A gentle smile appeared on Chen Yunsheng's face, like the warm sun of winter, which made people eliminate hostility.
After a tea time, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the inner hall, and the two subordinates ran sweating profusely, panting and saying, "The head of the house is invited." ” Cao Yang waved his sleeves and pointed to the open door, "Everyone, please." ” The Cao family occupies a wide area, and the pavilion is very short, which is related to the tradition of Ziyang City.
In this city, no one deliberately limits the size of the town, and every year Ziyang City expands around, like a giant beast that does not choose to eat.
There is land here, and there is no need to build the house too high.
Walking in the huge corridor, Chen Yunsheng clearly felt a hard metal aura, and even the wooden pillars under the corridor were wrapped with a lot of copper.
This is rare in ordinary large households.
Walking through the corridor, several people came to a small flower hall, to Chen Yun's surprise, the roof of the flower hall was actually poured with molten iron, and I don't know what anti-corrosion materials were coated, which looked shiny in the sun.
In the middle of the room sat an old man with a large white beard, sharp eyes, and white hair scattered behind his back.
There was not a trace of spiritual energy surging on his body, but there was a trace of outstanding aura, which made Chen Yunsheng dare not underestimate it.
Before he could enter the room, the old man asked like a bell, "I heard that you brought a message from the twentieth generation head of the Cao family, but it's true."
Chen Yunsheng came to the house and said unhurriedly: "Really, it's true. ” At this time, a young man came out of the shadows behind the old man and whispered in the old man's ear: "Grandpa has disappeared for hundreds of years, this person must be lying." ” The old man frowned, and suddenly said, "How can you make me believe you" There was a hint of gold and iron echoing in his voice.
"It is said that the Cao family has a seven-heart exquisite lock, if I can unlock this lock, does it mean that I can be trusted" Chen Yunsheng was not angry at the other party's questioning.
"Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock" The old man's voice became a little sharp.
"Grandpa, he can unlock the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock," the young man behind the old man exclaimed.
Even Cao Yang, who brought Chen Yunsheng here, was surprised, and turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"Is there anything unusual about this?"
asked Chen Yunsheng, the other party's performance was obviously beyond his imagination.
After a long time, the head of the Cao family said, "Young man, I don't know what your purpose is for coming here, but don't think about stealing the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock.
With your current cultivation, you can't block my attack, do you understand?"
"Why do you have such thoughts, is there a secret hidden in the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock, in my opinion, this is the best way to verify my identity."
Chen Yunsheng was a little surprised, Cao Kun had never said that there was something hidden in the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock.
"Young man, are you willing to make a choice If you can open the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock and provide the whereabouts of the old man's ancestor, I am willing to treat you as a guest of the Cao family.
If not, the old man will only see you as a thief who wants to steal the secret of the lock, and I am afraid you will not be able to get out of this room.
The old man's voice was low, like the murmur of a beast from the Nine Shadows, and it was not as loud as before.
"Uncle Shi, since they are suspicious, we can change the family, why bother looking for them."
Xue Li was not angry on the side, he still pinched a fire trick in his hand, ready for a battle.
"Master, I think what Senior Brother said makes sense, why should I be in inexplicable danger."
Even Yi Xiaohu, who was the most insensitive to external objects, felt the horror of the old man and rarely said such words.
Chen Yunsheng smiled at them, turned around and said, "Deal, just do as you say."
But before I unlock the lock, I have a question. ” "Please."
The old man's tone returned to the way it was.
"What secrets are hidden in the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock," Chen Yunsheng said.
"Now that you've made your choice, there's no harm in telling you.
The ancestor once sealed the seven secret methods into the seven artifacts of the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock.
However, over time, the method of opening the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock was buried by the unscrupulous descendants of the Cao family.
The old man's grandfather, Cao Kun, was the last head of the family to master the path, and it was his sudden disappearance that caused the method to be lost.
