Su Yuan listened to Lao Li talking beside him, and talked endlessly for a long time, although it was a slight exaggeration, but pine charcoal is indeed a good thing.

I picked up a piece casually, the weight was heavy, dark and shiny, dense, and I pinched it hard, but there was no black ash on my hand.

The whole pile of charcoal shimmered with a rich yellow light, and several of them were mixed with golden light, which made Su Yuan very satisfied. Turned to Lao Li and said, "The price is not a problem, but the first time I try the goods first, how about I choose for myself?"

"No problem, you can pick whatever you want!" Lao Li hurriedly agreed, but he was a big financier in front of him, looking at the crowd of people, there was a row of luxury Mercedes-Benz parked at the door, and there were bodyguards and beautiful female secretaries around him, he was definitely a big customer.

Su Yuan smiled slightly, asked Xu Kui to take the big basket, and began to choose pine charcoal, and after more than an hour, he swept all the shining golden lights, a full hundred pieces.

"Lao Li has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, you have a look!"

Lao Li followed Su Yuan to choose charcoal, and watched the other party choose all the best, his heart was like a knife, but the words had already been said, so he could only give a thumbs up, and admired: "No wonder even Master Xu worships you as a teacher, as long as you come to the Li family charcoal kiln with a face in the future, all will be discounted!"

Su Yuan laughed, threw down 50,000, and left with everyone. Looking at the trunk full of two large baskets of yellow mud and charcoal, all the gold, wood and earth in the five elements are done, and there is only one water missing.

After getting into the car, Emi Yanagi took out a list and handed it to Su Yuan to explain: "This is all the workshops for sale in Longquan, please take a look." ”

Su Yuan looked at the dense information on it, not only the area location, but also the names and phone numbers of all the people, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good job!"

Emi smiled, it was the first time that she could be appreciated by the master, and she felt that she was one step closer to apprenticeship. He continued: "I have studied the list, there are a total of seven workshops, and the first one has the best area and location, but the asking price of 4.5 million is a bit high. ”

Xu Kui looked at the first name and said with a smile: "The old Zhang family's workshop started selling last year, and many people were tempted, but because they refused to reduce the price, they haven't sold it yet." ”

Su Yuan asked curiously, "Oh, since the workshop is very good, why do you want to sell it?"

"I heard that my son wants to immigrate to a foreign country and is in a hurry to use the money, hey, in fact, that's the case, let me say that the most valuable thing is his family's well, and the others are not good things. ”

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and Xu Kui continued, the big black man scratched his head, and thought about it for a long time before he analyzed: "Our Longquan swordsmith pays the most attention to the atmosphere, especially water, which is related to the success or failure of quenching, and must be careful." ”

"I think that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sword-casting master Ou Yezi was ordered to cast a sword and came to the foot of Qinxi Mountain outside Longquan City. Legend has it that the environment there is quiet, there are seven wells, the Big Dipper, the well water is sweet and cold, and it is suitable for making swords. He used the local Tieying as the material to cast three swords of Longyuan, Tai'a and Gongbu to the king of Chu, and was rewarded heavily, and Longquan became the capital of sword casting. ”

Next to the Yanagi Emi eyes shining, I like this kind of strange thing the most, Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, this kind of legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and finally Ou Yezi came to the Qinxi Mountain in Longquan, and found that there are seven wells under the two thousand-year-old pine trees, arranged like a Beidou, cold into the bone marrow, it is really a high-grade cold spring, so he chiseled the pond to store water, that is, it became a sword pool.

Later, he trekked through mountains and rivers, searched for thousands of times, and finally found a bright stone pit in a mountain near Qinxi Mountain. I found that there was a slight chill in the pit, and it was eerie, and I knew that there must be a foreign object in it. So he burned incense and bathed, fasted for three days, and then jumped into the pit, took out a bright stone, and slowly sharpened the sword with it.

Even now, if you want to create a superior sword in Longquan, you must obtain a high-grade grinding stone. For a long time, the Longquan sword artists of the past dynasties choose the auspicious day of the zodiac in the first month of each year, and the master takes the apprentice to follow the footsteps of the ancestor to look for the bright stone pit, which has been inherited for thousands of years and has become a unique stone-seeking culture in the sword industry.

The pit where Ou Yezi found the bright stone is now called the grinding stone pit, in the territory of Shenji Village, Daotai Township, there is a grinding stone cave on the side of the grinding stone pit, which has become one of the local tourist attractions.

Xu Kui continued: "The quenching water is the mountain spring above, the well water is the middle, and the rain is the bottom. Now the environment is seriously polluted, and the real mountain spring water has long been gone, so well water has become the best choice. The well of the old Zhang family is long, at least 100 years, the water quality is clear, at first the neighbors went to pick it up for free, and then directly began to sell it, ten yuan per barrel. ”

Su Yuan nodded, no wonder he dared to ask for four and a half million, it seemed that he was playing with the wishful thinking of well water. Look at the remaining information on the list, two hundred to three million, some have a large area, some have a good location, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Huh, it's so cheap!"

When Su Yuan saw the last name, he sighed lightly, pointed and asked Xu Kui: "This area is not small, and the location is not biased, so it is only sold for 1.2 million?"

"Wait, the information still says that they also have a well in their house?"

Xu Kui looked at the last one on the list, his face changed greatly, and he said helplessly: "You don't know, it's because of this unlucky well that it can't be sold!"

Seeing Su Yuan and Emi Yanagi's puzzled expressions, Xu Kui sighed and said in a low voice, "Do you know what this well is called?"

"Ghost Well!"

"Lao Liu is my acquaintance, and he was also a swordsmith back then, but later because of this well, he even left his hometown, and his family moved directly to the next township, and he didn't dare to come back for a few years!"

"What the hell is going on?" Su Yuan was a little surprised, there was such an evil thing, and he continued to ask.

"Hey, it's not the unlucky well, I was very happy when I first drilled it, after all, it is a great blessing that the workshop has a well in Longquan. It turned out that it couldn't be used at all, the water was cold to death, and the dog days were cold, like a ghost cave!"

Xu Kui said helplessly: "Quenching has high requirements for temperature, success or failure is only between millimeters, not to mention the temperature difference of more than ten degrees, even a few degrees may be wasted, so ......"

Su Yuan looked at Xu Kui's helpless expression and asked, "So you have also tried?"

"At the beginning, many people did not believe in evil, and they used ghost wells to quench them, and none of them were spared. Later, I couldn't help it, I tried five times, all failed, as long as I put it into the water of that evil well, no matter how good the sword embryo was, it would collapse immediately!"

"So weird?" After hearing this, Emi Yanagi seemed to be blowing a gust of wind behind her, and her whole body was excited, and she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry master, I didn't know that there was still this inside story, please forgive me." ”

Su Yuan waved his hand, don't blame those who don't know, let alone Emi Yanagi, even he heard it for the first time. A thought flashed through his mind, and he ordered: "Go to the first one first, if the right price is not a problem, go." ”

Everyone came to Lao Zhang's house, and when they saw that there were big customers coming to the door, the old man was very enthusiastic and took the front and back yards to visit. The area is more than 300 square meters, and there is a backyard, the workshop is well-equipped and clean.

"You may think that I want a high price, not to mention the area location, just this treasure well, the entire Longquan does not exceed ten!"

Lao Zhang picked up a bucket of water from the well, poured it directly into the bowl, handed it to Su Yuan and said, "Can you see if it's clear?"

Su Yuan took a sip, it was really clear and sweet, and the water in the bowl shone with a rich yellow light, which was a rare thing, and with yellow mud, maybe the success rate was higher.

After a trip, Lao Zhang sent Su Yuan and others away, and it can be seen that the customers are more satisfied, of course, millions of businesses cannot be completed immediately, so they can only wait for the next contact.

"Let's go, go to the ghost well!"
