Let’s talk about the sword furnace used for making swords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In fact, it should be called the sword room.
The palace is divided into three rooms for heaven, earth and people, and has two floors, inside and outside.
The outside is surrounded by refractory kiln bricks.
The inside is like a private house, with copper beams and stone pillars. , equipped with an inner furnace for making fire.
On that day, fire comes out of the furnace, and energy gathers in the earth furnace.
There must be a living person in the human furnace who sacrifices his life to the sword.
In this furnace, a swordsman hanged himself to death.
A ray of hero's soul was absorbed into the sword energy, leaving an empty body hanging for a thousand years.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaopian'er bumped into a hanged man on a swing in the sword furnace.
He was frightened by the boss and immediately wanted to shrink away and run away.
However, the light from the fire tube in his hand flashed and he caught a glimpse of the hanged man under him.
There was also a man lying covered in blood.
Zhang Xiaopian'er had sharp eyes, but he saw a familiar face.
It was none other than Lao Jun Tie Zhong, an old servant of the Tie shopkeeper of Songhe Hall.
Zhang Xiaowei'er rolled his eyes twice and thought to himself: "Since they stayed in Huaiyuan that night, Shopkeeper Tie and Tie Zhong have been missing.
No one has been seen alive, and no body has been found dead.
I didn't expect that old man Tie Zhong was here.
This is strange.
Yes, this person He is a simple and kind-hearted person.
How can I sit idly by, Third Master?"
He hesitated for a moment, then ducked through the furnace mouth again, entered the furnace and clasped his fists at the hanged ghost: "Yin and Yang are separated and do not interfere with each other.
We are wells.
The water does not harm the river.”
Then Zhang Xiaopian'er came close to the old man Tiezhong, stretched out his hand to explore the pit of his heart, and found that it was still hot, but his whole body was bloody and badly injured, he also had a high fever, and his lips were chapped.
It was like "the body is like a five drum holding a mountain and the moon, and life is It’s like the oil lamp has run out in the middle of the night.”
It seems that he will not live long.
Zhang Xiaopian'er opened the teeth of the old man Tiezhong and gave him a few sips of water from a gourd he had brought with him.
The iron-loyal old man drank the cold water, and after sighing, he regained his breath, and his mind gradually became clearer, just like "a cold valley encounters a warm spring, and the dead ashes are revived."
But as soon as he opened his eyes in a trance, When I saw the cat mask on Zhang Xiaobian'er's head, I thought the civet cat in the mountains had become a spirit, and I almost died of fright on the spot.
Zhang Xiaobian'er quickly pushed the mask to his head and asked him how he ended up in this situation.
Old Man Tiezhong was very surprised when he saw that it was Zhang Xiaobian'er, but he was not frightened and fearful.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to regain his consciousness, he steeled himself and told him the story of how he came to Huang Burial Ridge to transport the corpse.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi had just entered Lingzhou that day and brought the female body transported from Wengzhong Mountain to Songhetang Pharmacy in exchange for the black cat kept by shopkeeper Tie in his backyard.
The iron shopkeeper was a good person and never engaged in loss-making business.
He recognized the zombie as a beauty bowl from the previous dynasty.
Due to an unjust death during his lifetime, his body remained unchanged.
It was a rare item that was hard to find on the black market.
In recent years, there have been many demons practicing animal-making evil arts in Jiangnan.
They have taken advantage of natural and man-made disasters to do many unforgivable things.
This group of people cut off the organs of dead people everywhere, and put the male masculine and female yin together into a pair, which can be used as bait.
As the sorcery became more practiced, zombies and live-born children were eventually needed.
All the dead corpses that were wronged and immortalized, as well as the children brought by theft, the fetus in the mother's belly, and even the placenta after childbirth were all this.
What everyone desperately needs.
Since ancient times, wars and famines have been intertwined.

Once a war is over, the land will be red for thousands of miles, and there will be no grain harvest.
Countless people have died in wars and famines, and new deaths are everywhere.
But ancient corpses and boy fetuses from hundreds of years ago are very rare, so some people secretly dig up, steal and abduct them, and then resell them to animal makers to make huge profits.
In those days when people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution, what does it mean to earn such conscience-breaking money?
Although the Iron Rooster has a big family and a big business, he is stingy and mean by nature and has an insatiable desire for money.
He is also in the medicine business, and he is familiar with the ins and outs of various docks.
He knows some thieves who dig graves, so he privately started a business of purchasing zombie meat.
Whenever licensed goods are obtained, he will personally Take them out of town and sell them.
These activities were done in secret, and even the closest relatives and friends of Tie Gongji's family were unknown.
However, he was weak and could not do it alone, so he had to bring his old slave Tie Zhong with him every time.
Old Man Tiezhong didn't know the truth at first, but after going back and forth for a long time, he couldn't help but see some clues.
He is a simple and honest person, how could he dare to do such a thing that was struck by lightning?
He even persuaded his master to stop to avoid getting into trouble.
Our drug store has such a big business, why should we be afraid of doing such a dirty business?
But the iron rooster has the smallest eyes, and can only recognize the word "profit".
Although he has made a huge fortune, he values a penny more than his wealth and life.
In addition to making money, he will do anything to make money, and he is also extremely mean and stingy to his own family.
As soon as he opened his eyes in bed every morning, he would shed tears of hatred and resentment in his chest.
What could he hate?
He only hated that the sun, moon and stars were spinning around in the sky.
He had eaten yesterday, but today he woke up and had to eat again.
You can save money on everything, but you have to eat two meals a day.
At that time, rich people and stingy businessmen had their own ways to save money.
I won’t mention anything else, but just saying that Iron Gongji’s family is rich in gold and silver, but he has two meals a day, morning and evening, and he can’t bear to eat pickles.
He only buys one fish every year and marinates the fish with heavy salt for half a month until it is salted.
People, dead and alive, even the greedy old cat didn't dare to eat it secretly, so they hung the salted fish on the top of the dining table.
When it's time to eat, the whole family will look up at the salted fish every time they take a mouthful of brown rice.
Just one look at it will immediately make them salty in their hearts, and then they will quickly take two bites of rice into their mouths.
This can save money on food all year round.
Got off.
It wasn't until the night of New Year's Eve that the salted fish that had been hanging for a whole year was picked off, the salt was removed with water, and the whole family, old and young, ate it.
On the morning of New Year's Day, everyone coughed as if they were going to "change".
"Yanbahu" Yanbahu: that is, a bat.
According to folklore, mice that eat salt will turn into bats.
Bats are commonly known as night owl tigers, so they are also called salt tigers. .
This incident is not uncommon in the old society.
This is because these misers know that money is not easy to come by.
Every rich man has deliberately tried every means to get it.
Therefore, except for the nouveau riche, most wealthy households are extremely stingy and spend all their money on it.
The word money is taken too seriously.
Most of them believe that money is the most spiritual thing.
Only when they cherish it deeply can money follow them willingly.
If you don't take money seriously and pass it from one hand to another, you will definitely offend the God of Wealth, and you will not send money to him again.
Therefore, do not be stingy or rich.
As long as you are stingy, you must be rich. .

People like Tie Gongji are just stingy people who spend all their time calculating how to make ends meet.
However, they follow the old saying that "you are destined to make money but not blessed to enjoy it."
As long as it is profitable, you will cut your old man off.
He was willing to sell it, so how could he take the words of his servant Tie Zhong to heart.
Ancestor Tie Zhong has been a servant for generations.
In the past, he never dared to say no to the things ordered by his master.
He persuaded Tie Gongji twice to no avail, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night long.
When he was at a loss, the shopkeeper asked him to work at night again, so he had to go ahead.
The two peeled off the beauty bowl in the secret room, took the broken bones to the furnace and burned them.
They put only the skin, flesh, and the skull of the female corpse into a leather bag, and then climbed over the wall and left the drug store without anyone noticing.
Tie Gongji had previously bribed a group of tuan yong who were patrolling the city with a few counterfeit medicines, opened the water gate of Lingzhou City and slipped out, rushing all the way to Desolate Burial Ridge at Yuebei Feng High School.
Iron Rooster was not familiar with the roads here, but he also knew that the valley was full of wild dogs and did not dare to go in rashly.
He took a white lantern and put it in his hand.
After waiting for a long time in front of the mountain, he saw an old bald-tailed man coming out of the valley. dog.
This dog seemed to be a "line guy" leading the way.
He looked at the two people in front of the mountain, then turned around and walked in with his head and tail wagging.
Tie Gongji quickly asked Tie Zhong to carry the skin bag full of corpses, and followed the bald-tailed dog into the valley, going deeper and deeper, and finally came to a cave.
He saw a pug with white hair lying on the ground guarding a mouthful of money.
The box is full of gold bars and silver ingots, including not only the silver from our country, but also many "gold and foreign money" that are only available overseas.
This was the first time that shopkeeper Tie came to this desolate burial ridge to do business.
The broker said that "Master Bai" wanted to see the goods.
He also said that he was doing business with someone as before.
Who knows that there was not a single figure in the valley.
Could it be this dog?
It was Master Bai who thought that I don't care whether you are a human or a dog, as long as you have money, you are a master, so he opened the skin bag in front of the white-haired pug, took out the head of Beauty Bowl and placed it on the ground.
The white-haired pug came closer and took a few sniffs, then used its paws to pull out two gold bars from the box.
The Iron Rooster bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr.
Bai, for the reward."
Then he took two steps to pick up the gold bar and put it in his arms.
The old man Tie Zhong had never seen such a strange situation in his life.
It was really terrible.
It was an expression of extreme, extremely.
Something strange happened.
How could such a thing happen in the world?
I couldn't help but worry that I had encountered a monster in the mountains.
I hurriedly pulled on the sleeve of shopkeeper Tie and persuaded him to take the money and go back quickly.
Who would have thought that Iron Rooster would get angry when he saw money?
Besides, there was no one in the mountains except for a white-haired pug looking at a large box of gold and silver, especially the gold and silver coins.
I tossed and turned a few times, then I couldn't hold it back anymore, and I decided to take the money box as my own.
Iron Rooster had just picked up a stone in his hand, and wanted to go around behind and kill the white dog, but suddenly a giant dog jumped down from the mountain.
It was as big as a donkey, with blood spots on its back, and was wrapped in a gust of cold wind. will come down.
It dropped the iron rooster to the ground, just like "an evil tiger comes out of the forest to eat a lamb, or a soap eagle chases a purple swallow in mid-air."
The iron rooster didn't even struggle for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, it took out a bloody human heart from its chest.
Poor Tie Gong had a lot of calculations, he spent his whole life frugally, worried and worked hard, and tried his best, but in the end he ended up like this.
I really don't know if he "will lose his life in the end, so what's the reward for his hard work?"

The old man Tie Zhong looked on blankly.
Yes, he had been to the city's execution ground many times for executions of prisoners, and had seen this giant dog with his own eyes, which was called a divine mastiff by the people.
He was panicking, and just wanted to run for his life.
Unexpectedly, he missed the step and turned somersaults.
Fall into the Sword Hearth Stone House.
Tie Zhong fell down and broke his leg.
His body was scratched by stones and he was bleeding.
Fortunately, he got into the sword furnace and blocked the narrow furnace mouth, so he was able to survive.
When he went to look for the night, he would bring some dry food and water with him to sustain himself.
He could barely survive until now, but it was difficult to move even an inch and his life was almost in ruins.
He knew in his heart that he would not live much longer.
Before he kicked his legs and closed his eyes, he had no other thoughts.
He only begged Zhang Xiaopian'er for the convenience and to bring a message back to Shopkeeper Tie's family so that they could know whether the shopkeeper was alive or not.
Even the corpses were eaten clean by the dogs.
I quickly asked the monks and masters to build a water and land dojo to save the souls of the dead, and then built a tomb to prevent the host from becoming a lonely ghost.
The old man Tiezhong's eyes gradually became distracted.
By the time he finished explaining intermittently, he was so angry that he finally couldn't turn around in one breath and started to cry out in front of Zhang Xiaobian'er.
Zhang Xiaowei'er was secretly frightened.
He didn't expect that the Tie shopkeeper of Songhetang Drug Store would actually collude with the evil people who make livestock.
In addition, the old ghost in the forest did not tell anyone about the white-haired pug guarding the money box in the Burial Ridge. , what is the purpose of capturing and killing the Mastiff?
Whether it's OK or not, I thought wildly in my mind for a while, then bowed twice to Tie Zhong's body: "Tie Laojun, if you have a soul in heaven, please help Mr.
Zhang return safely, otherwise you and Shopkeeper Tie will hold grudges.
Shen Yuan died in an unknown manner."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a large group of wild dogs barking in the valley.
The sound came from far away and came closer very quickly.
Zhang Xiaobian'er knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly blew out the fire tube, climbed along the wall of the sword furnace to the height of the stone house, and took a peek at the movement in the mountains under the moonlight.
I saw that group of wild dogs in the deserted ridge.
I don’t know which tomb they pulled out of a litter of foxes.
They were three large and one small.
One of them, an old fox, held a little fox in his mouth and was about to die.
Running wildly for their lives.
It is said that among all things in the world, except for humans, foxes are the most intelligent, so they are called fox monsters.
Even alert and fast hounds cannot catch them easily.
Who knows that they will be chased by wild dogs and have no way out?
Escape from the dead end in the valley of Desolate Burial Ridge.
It's exactly this: "The telling of his deeds shocks the world, and the revelation of his whereabouts shocks the past and present."
