Xu Heng looked at the scenery on the seventh floor of the Sword Pavilion for a while, roughly remembered the terrain of the Burial Sword Basin, got off the Sword Pavilion, went to the horse gallery to find two horses, one to ride and one to spare, and then began to run around the Burial Sword Basin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The basin is basically a circle, there are hundreds of miles long and short, Wanjian Villa is in the center of the basin, accounting for a small piece, surrounding the mountains around the basin, except for a few gaps in the southeast direction, the rest are tall and towering, especially on the side of the Burial Sword Basin, it is almost straight up and down, and even slightly inclined, but it is inclined in the direction of the basin, if someone can really climb into the Burial Sword Basin from here, and steal the Xuanyuan Sword and then drift away, Xu Heng also has nothing to say.

The main purpose of his exit from the manor was to explore the gaps in the southeast direction, as well as to check the several mountain passages that could enter and exit the Ten Thousand Swords Villa.

Outside the Ten Thousand Swords Villa is the place where the sword is buried, as its name suggests, for some reason, there are broken sword blades everywhere, which does not hinder the growth of plants and trees, but causes great obstacles to walking. There are so many people living in Wanjian Villa, so many supplies, and they all need a lot of transportation capacity, so the main roads have been cleaned up, and they can run horses and walk.

There are three major gaps, almost all of which are connected to each other, Xu Heng took turns using horses, ran for an hour to the bottom of the mountains, and then spent another hour checking each gap, and found that it was almost impossible to climb into the place of the burial sword from here.

It was noon, the spring sun was shining, Xu Heng stopped, and at random cleared a small open space under the shade of a tree in the place where the sword was buried, ate and rested. When looking for horses, Xu Heng went to the kitchen to ask for lunch.

There is also a windfall in the kitchen.

When the old woman who was guarding the kitchen was packing him, he looked around and stumbled upon a burning stick that looked like a sword, no, it should be a sword that was used as a burning stick.

Xu Heng took out the sword strangely and checked it, the sword was completely black, I don't know if it was originally like this or if it was burned by smoke and fire all year round, just when Xu Heng was amazed, the old woman suddenly came over and snatched the sword back, threw the packed lunch Xu Heng drove him out.

Xu Heng, who was standing outside the kitchen, smiled bitterly and figured out three things.

One, not only are the swords placed everywhere and placed on the Sword Pavilion in Wanjin Villa, but also some of the swords are carried by the sword servants, and the sword servants are already able to pull out the swords, I don't know where they will put the swords, and the number of these swords also needs to be counted.

Second, although Wanjian Villa looks like it is undefended, Wanjian Villa is also the safest, and it is impossible to storm it.

Third, there must be a reason why Wanjian Villa is called Wanjian Villa, otherwise it can be called Tibetan Sword Villa directly, why do you have to make up 10,000? And at present, the known swords are extremely close to 10,000, and there must be some significance in this, and we need to pay attention to it.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man who was tending to the horses in the porch also had a sword in his hand, and the use was also ridiculous: the extremely slender sword was actually loaded with a wooden board on his head, which was used as a shovel for shoveling horse manure.

Coupled with the sword slaves and sword servants he met along the way, he also discovered a phenomenon: all the sword slaves who have not yet drawn their swords can do nothing all day long and find a way to pull up their swords, while those who have drawn their swords and become sword servants will consciously find a job in the village, just like real servants.

Since entering the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, the more he has seen, the more interesting the Ten Thousand Swords Villa has become.

After lunch, Xu Heng sat on the tree and rested for half an hour, the people and horses were full of spirits, and began to gallop again, he planned to run through the passages from Wanjian Villa to the four states in the south of the Yangtze River in the afternoon, and confirm the possibility of coming from those passages.

So three hours passed, and from noon to dark, Xu Heng dragged his tired body back to Wanjian Villa, and finally caught up with dinner.

Xu Heng, who was tired and hungry, threw himself on the chair and began to eat wildly, the speed startled the two people next to him, Xu Heng had never eaten much, and it was the first time he ate so crazy.

Xu Heng, who swept the entire table of dishes, was full of wine and food, lying on the chair and comfortably closing his eyes to recuperate, Jianchen and Pu Feng asked the sword servant to make some dishes and send them before finishing the meal, after eating, Pu Feng wiped his mouth and picked up the Wufeng heavy sword and went to practice the sword again, Jianchen stayed, took out a pile of paper from his arms and handed it to Xu Heng: "According to your request, I have sorted out the name, gender, position and other information of all the sword masters, sword servants, and sword slaves in Wanjian Villa, this is a summary list." ”

Sure enough, there is a position. Are there other sword masters in the Ten Thousand Swords Villa? Xu Heng was stunned, no wonder there were several people dressed as sword servants who gave people a completely different feeling when he checked the four passages guarding the four passages, they were all sword masters?

Xu Heng opened his eyes suddenly, didn't take the pile of paper, but asked, "Is there still a sword master resident in Ten Thousand Swords Villa?"

"Yes, there are now seven sword masters in the village, three of them are promoted from another sword servant and volunteered to stay to guard the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, and the remaining four are sword masters on duty this year. ”

"Is there a fixed quota for the rotating sword master, and is there any regulation for the rotation?"

"The rotation of the sword master in Wanjian Villa is a rule that a generation of Xuanyuan sword masters have, and the time of each rotation is uncertain, and the number is not equal. As for the rules of the rotation, only the five fathers knew. ”

"Hmm. Xu Heng no longer asked, but fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "How many sword servants are there in the villa at present?"

"Registered, eighty-three. ”

"Eighty-three, seven, nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, ten thousand ......" Xu Heng pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion, "Not enough, far from enough! There must be a sword where there is!"

"What? what sword?!" Xu Heng's words were inexplicable, making Jian Chen very puzzled, "Although the number of swords will change every year, every year I will go to all the places in the villa to count the swords, and the number will definitely not be wrong!"

"The number of swords is different every year?" Xu Heng's heart moved, a thought was fleeting, he tried to keep it but only grasped a little thought, "Jianchen, I still need information, can you find out all the number of swords, the changes in sword servants, the name and information of the rotating sword master in the past five years?"

"Within five years?" Jian Chen thought for a moment before he said, "It's no problem, it's just a little troublesome," he frowned when he said this, "But Brother Xu, does this have anything to do with 'that incident'? Now there are only two days left, if I can't find that sword, I-"

Xu Heng unceremoniously interrupted his friend's words: "It's not clear whether it's useful now, anyway, you don't know what to do, it's better to go first, this matter is done, maybe it will be of great use, remember, the more accurate the number, the better!"

Now Xu Heng also has no clue, but a dead horse is a live horse doctor, anyway, it is an investigation, and if he doesn't see Chen Xu Heng, he will also check these information. Same as the thought in the morning, instead of letting Jianchen be depressed, it is better to find him something to do.

Even if he didn't have a bottom in his heart, Xu Heng's expression didn't have any flaws at all, Jianchen's trust in his friend was greater than his doubts, he nodded, and said firmly: "Okay." I'll get back to you by tomorrow night at the latest!"

Xu Heng nodded, picked up the stack of papers that Jianchen had sorted out today, flipped through them, found one of them, and began to wander around the villa again.
