Tianguang County is located in Nanli County. On the right is Tianmen County, and on the left is Dulong River. The north is the county city, and the back is the continuous Wulong Mountain. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, it is actually a basin.

The geographical location is not good, but why can this place become a county?

Because here is a big iron mine!

Because this world is not very safe, the places where human beings live together are either water and land key points, or places rich in resources. There is a large iron mine at the foot of Tianguang County, and the county was developed based on this iron mine.

In a dangerous world, force must be developed. With well-developed force, all kinds of weapons and equipment will not be too bad. Iron ore is an important production material and the most important material for refining weapons.

Among warlocks, there is a kind of warlock called alchemist. This kind of warlock will refine a potion, and this potion can dissolve the iron in the ore!

Ironmaking here does not rely on blast furnaces and firepower. Instead, the ore is thrown into a large pool with iron-making potions. Wait for a whole day and night, and then fish out the iron and stones in the pool.

In addition to iron, gold, silver and copper are also produced in this way!

And the raw materials of these potions are monsters. Monster beasts are full of treasures.

All of this is the information that Chu Zheng got from the book. When he followed the crowd to Tianguang County for the first time, he was also amazed by the large and small pools outside the county seat that looked like meteor craters.

There are pools of various sizes in front of you. Some pools have dried up, and some pools still have colorful water.

"These are abandoned iron smelting water pits. After the iron ore here has been dug, these water pits will no longer be used." Du Donglan realized that Chu Zheng was interested in these water pits, and explained from the side.

Chu Zheng nodded, and found that some pools were even used to raise fish!

After passing through these large and small pools, there is a huge city wall in front of Chu Zheng.

The city wall is made of various stones, more than ten meters high and seven or eight meters thick. It goes without saying that this stone must be a by-product of ironmaking!

The city gate was guarded, and the leader was wearing a strong black suit with an eagle embroidered on the chest.

"Junior Brother Lan! You are on duty today!" Guan Qianfu, who was sitting on horseback, cupped his hands at the leader and said casually.

"I have met the third elder, I have met all senior brothers and sisters!" Junior brother Lan bowed his hands to everyone, greeted everyone, and then said, "Yes, I am on duty today."

After saying a few words without oil or salt, everyone passed through the city gate and entered the county seat.

If you want to say that Tianguang County has the most things, of course it has the most pools! These pools that were originally used for ironmaking are no longer in use, but they can't be left abandoned in the county town, it's too unsightly!

As a result, these pools were transformed into small ponds, where various aquatic flowers and plants were planted, and ducks and fishes were stocked. This is the time when the lotus blooms. When you look at it, you can see lotuses of various colors competing to bloom, which makes people linger and forget to return.

In addition to these, there are many blacksmith shops in Tianguang County. In a short street, Chu Zheng saw five or six blacksmith shops, including family workshops, and well-known and time-honored shops.

This is where the Qiushui Sword came from!

In addition to these blacksmith shops, of course there are also various grocery stores, wine shops, restaurants and the like. It's just that no one seems to be patronizing now.

Just as Chu Zheng was thinking this way, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance. The people in each store immediately cheered up and became active.

"The workers are off work! Let's hurry up too! Otherwise, the streets will be full of people!" Du Donglan said on the side, and everyone speeded up their horses.

In just half an hour, the originally quiet street was full of people. The wine shops and restaurants were full of people, and there were also stalls selling snacks on the street.

This reminded Chu Zheng of the lunch time of those big factories in his previous life, how similar it was.

"It's just workers in some workshops in the county. Now most of them are in the mines outside the city. At night, it's even more lively here!" Du Donglan said with a smile.

A group of people finally arrived at the station of Tianguang Yingmen.

This is a stretch of buildings, perhaps with an area of ​​several hundred acres. The door is wide, and there is a giant stone eagle standing at the door.

Because of Wei Xixue, the disciple guarding the gate didn't make things difficult for Chu Zheng, so he let Chu Zheng in. If it was normal, a new disciple like him would have to wear his badge on his body. When the heads are familiar, you can enter without a waist card.

Schools everywhere open their doors to convenience, and everyone can come to practice martial arts. But different places have different entry requirements. In Blood Sword Sect, as long as the physical fitness passes the test and the family can afford a full-time worker, they can come to Blood Sword Sect to practice martial arts.

But in Yingmen, entry is to pay a lot of entry fee! Although people in the county live above the standard, this entry fee has also dispelled the idea of ​​most people practicing martial arts.

Despite this, there are still many families who bite their teeth and send their children to practice martial arts. This is due to the social atmosphere.

Such things as tuition fees are not what Chu Zheng considers. As soon as he entered the door, he was the elder's direct disciple, and he had a higher starting point than other disciples. Just report at the door.

Not long after, Chu Zheng received his badge and uniform. Although the starting point is different, the clothes and waist badge are the same. Anyway, it is impossible to tell from the clothes that he is the elder's direct disciple.

Most of the sects in the world are like this: beginner disciples-senior disciples (personal disciples)-deacon disciples. This is the advanced route for disciples. But there are also differences. For example, the Blood Sword Sect does not have a layer of deacon disciples. The more advanced the sect, the more rules there are!

Among them, deacon disciples can be understood as reserve cadres. Because they are one level higher, they are the elders in the door. At the level of elders, you can accept disciples and open the hall alone. The one above the elders is the master of the sect. In some sects, the head of the sect is selected from among the elders, while in some sects, the head of the sect is selected from among the family members.

Therefore, the normal growth path of a disciple should be: beginner disciple-senior disciple (personal disciple)-deacon disciple-elder-door master.

Of course, there are more positions in those great sects, so I won't describe them one by one here.

Anyway, recruiting apprentices is a matter for the sect, and it is also a matter for the elders. The sect accepts beginner disciples, and growth depends entirely on the efforts of the disciples. The elders accepted direct disciples, with the support of the elders. The two can be converted, not absolute.

Introductory disciples who are favored by elders for various reasons can also enter the elder's door. If the elder who has accepted his disciple's disciple dislikes his disciple, he can also drive him out and let him eat a big pot of rice!

Anyway, after Chu Zheng knelt down and bowed to Wei Xixue three times and six times, he became Wei Xixue's introductory disciple!

A group of Wei Xixue's disciples were also watching the ceremony.

Among them, Tang Yixing, the eldest brother, is not here. The second senior sister, Wang Wenli, was in the mine, but she wasn't there either. The third senior brother is Guan Qianfu. Fourth Senior Sister Du Donglan. Fifth Senior Sister Dai Xuexian. And Chu Zheng is the youngest sixth junior brother.
