Chapter Thirty-Seven: Great Elder Mu Lin
After Mu Qing escaped in embarrassment, the onlookers slowly dispersed, except for Yuan Li, who was still excitedly following Nie Feng to ask this and that, almost all the teenagers looked at Nie Feng with a strong sense of jealousy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just like the morning exercise three years ago, Nie Feng replaced the rhombic wood sword in his hand and began to practice the basic swordsmanship in a decent way, while Yuan Li had a gaze that was almost adoring, not far from Nie Feng, and also practiced in the morning, of course, most of his attention still stayed on Nie Feng.
The morning exercise lasted for another hour, and Nie Feng slowly left the Sword Pavilion Square and walked in the direction of his house under the awe-inspiring gaze of the young people.
In the small courtyard, Nie Feng was sewing and mending Nie Feng's clothes, what Nie Feng had been wearing on his body was the set of black robes he found from the jade pendant space, but due to different body types, he was slightly larger on his body, and it would cost some silver taels to buy a new set after all, so Nie was taking his son's black clothes to rectify.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Nie Feng shouted loudly from a distance through the courtyard gate, and Nie Shi, who was concentrating on his face, slowly raised his head, and soon a spring breeze seemed to blow on his face, making people feel warm and warm.
"Feng'er came back early! Is the morning exercise over?"
Three years ago, in order to improve his physical strength as soon as possible, almost every morning exercise did not end until lunchtime, but coming back so early today made Nie Shi slightly surprised.
Nie Feng had already pushed open the courtyard door and strode in, his face still filled with unconcealable pleasure.
"I thought my dad should have news, so I rushed back. What, hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Nie Feng didn't enter the house, and found that it seemed that there was only Nie in the house.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Feng'er to come back earlier than me!"
A deep voice came, and not far away, Nie Tong's hurried figure happened to come to the gate of the courtyard.
"Dad, how is it, is Great Elder Mu Lin here?"
As soon as the father and son sat down, Nie Feng asked a little impatiently.
After slowly sipping his saliva, Nie Tong calmed down a little bit of panting caused by the anxiety just now.
"Great Elder Mu Lin happens to be in the Mu Mansion, and he happened to be resting at home this afternoon!hehe!"
"Great!" Nie Feng clenched his fists excitedly, "By the way, Dad, when do you think we should go to pay a visit?"
"It's just this afternoon!" Nie Tong continued to sip his saliva, but his rather calm eyebrows frowned slightly, "Is it just this gift, I really haven't thought about it!"
To visit the real superior people, and he is also a high-ranking and powerful elder in the Mu Mansion, it is appropriate to bring some decent gifts, but the problem is that the life of Nie Tong's family is already very embarrassing, and the so-called good things that can barely be obtained will not be taken into Mu Lin's eyes at all, of course, it is not that there are no precious things in Guyun City, but Nie Tong and they can't afford it.
"In terms of gifts, don't worry, Dad, I have it here!" Nie Feng said lightly.
"Oh?" Nie Tong's eyes showed a look of doubt, and he looked up and down for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal about his son, and then the doubts on his face slowly disappeared.
To be honest, he, as a father, didn't fully believe his son's words, because he didn't know what adventures and gains his son had in the past three years, but from last night to now, his son always swore that even he couldn't imagine things, and looking at his son's appearance, it didn't seem like lying or big words, he had to silently think that his son must have placed many precious things somewhere in Guyun City in advance, and such a secret, if the son himself didn't say it, he was not very good to ask directly.
Whether it is out of the trust of family affection or the performance of his son at this moment, Nie Tong believes that his son is by no means groundless, and believes that his son must have his own way of dealing with these things, he just needs to do what he should do.
Seeing his father's expression, Nie Feng only smiled slightly.
The matter of the jade pendant space is too strange, he did not tell his parents, not that he deliberately kept the secret, but that he understood very well, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty".
If you tell your father and mother, maybe it will bring them accidents and surprises in a short time, but in the long run, it may not be a good thing for them, if Nie Feng expects it to be good, I am afraid that the entire Mu Mansion, including the mansion master, may not have a similar storage room, and once the jade pendant space leaks the news, I am afraid that even the mansion master, it may be tempting, and then it will really be a catastrophe for their Nie family.
Whatever my father wants, at least it's all for the sake of the family.
Lunch was a little hurried, because the father and son were a little excited and excited about meeting Grand Elder Mu Lin. Nie Tong was because he had met the Great Elder for the second time, while Nie Feng was happy because he was finally going to see the Lord. After lunch, the father and son carefully dressed themselves, and then they came to the courtyard of the Great Elder Mu Lin in the distance.
Before going out, Nie Feng took a trip back to his bedroom, took out a high-grade iron sword from the jade pendant space, pulled out the sword body, and under the use of the skill of the sword essence, the golden light flashed in Nie Feng's eyes, and then Nie Feng nodded with satisfaction and walked out of his room.
When the top-grade iron sword was handed over to Nie Tong, the latter was quite surprised and took out the sword body and carefully observed it for a long time, although Nie Tong did not have the ability to enter the essence of the sword, but with the experience of casting iron swords, he quickly judged that what he had in his hand was a good sword that he had never seen before, and it was naturally very suitable as a gift to meet the Great Elder, and he nodded with great satisfaction at the moment.
The courtyard of the Great Elder of Mu Lin was located in the east direction of the Mu Mansion, and the father and son had been walking for nearly an hour before they could see a neat and magnificent mansion in the distance. Hurrying to the gate of the house, Nie Tong stepped forward and knocked lightly.
The doorman who opened the door was a doorman who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and after asking about his intentions, he picked up the top-grade iron sword in Nie Feng's hand and walked in slowly, Nie Feng had to accompany his father to continue waiting at the gate.
After less than a cup of tea, the doorman finally turned back.
"The eldest lord is invited!"
followed the doorman three times and five times, and finally came to the door of a living room, the doorman reported loudly, and a slow but rather heroic voice came from the living room, "Come in!"
Nie Feng looked up and saw an old man about fifty years old sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle, his hair had turned gray, his face was slightly dark, his chin was five inches of black beard, and he looked like he was not angry but mighty, and he was stroking the high-grade iron sword brought by Nie Feng with both hands, and he made a sound in his mouth, but his face was preoccupied without even lifting it.
"The sword qi fluctuates nine feet, and the sword master is nine heavens!" Nie Feng said secretly.
"Ahem...... Great Elder, Nie Tong and his dogs, bow down!"
After speaking, Nie Tong's father and son both bowed down, this is the rule of being an inferior person, not to mention that there is a real person in power in front of him.
"Oh!
Great Elder Mu Lin finally turned his face around, and suddenly his eyes shone brightly, and a sudden coercion enveloped Nie Feng and his son, making Nie Tong, who had just stood up, involuntarily bend his knees, and wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by Nie Feng on the side.
Nie Feng understood that this was the Great Elder Mu Lin deliberately unleashing the coercion of the strong and giving their father and son a dismount.
This has almost become a common practice on the Ancient Sword Continent, especially when the superior people almost always come to talk to the inferior people before they open their mouths, so Nie Feng didn't care much about it, but when he saw that his father was about to kneel down again, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to support it. But Nie Feng's performance clearly fell into the eyes of Great Elder Mu Lin.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Mu Lin suddenly found that the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him had reached the realm of the First Heaven of the Sword Warrior, and he was quite shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, why had he never heard that the young man of Mufu had produced an inferior genius!
Surprise and Nahan only appeared for a moment, and soon Mu Lin smiled slightly, his eyes were full of appreciation, "Nie Tong, I brought you into Mu Mansion back then, how have you lived in the past few years? Your son is much more promising than you!"
"My father and son, I would like to thank the Great Elder for his kindness!"
After speaking, Nie Tong bowed deeply, and Nie Feng naturally accompanied him silently. The great gift has already been seen, and now a bow is enough to express gratitude.
"Oh, excuse me, tell me, what's the matter with you coming to my old man?"
Great Elder Mu Lin didn't seem to have the majesty and arrogance that Nie Feng imagined, except for the coercion just now, he seemed to feel the same as Jin Lao, both of them were kind and kind, of course, this did not include the latter's appearance when he first met Jin Lao.
Immediately, Nie Tong slowly said that he was going to open a sword-casting shop, and finally hoped that Great Elder Mu Lin could open up a place to serve as the foundation of the sword-casting shop.
As Nie Tong spoke, he peeked at the old man not far away, but to his strange surprise, the smiling Great Elder didn't seem to be focusing on him, but staring at him tightly, his son, Nie Feng, as if he was staring at a treasure.
"Ahem...... I hope the Great Elder can give us a little help, my father and son are very grateful!"
Nie Tong coughed, shifted Great Elder Mulin's attention to himself slightly, and then bowed deeply again, naturally Nie Feng still had to accompany him.
"Hehe, this is a trivial matter! In this way, I will leave you the three houses in the Mu Mansion near the main road of Guyun City, is it enough?"
As if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Mu Lin touched his beard lightly, and then gave the location of the sword-casting shop.
"This ...... Great Elder, the rent of those three houses is too high, and neither my father nor son has much experience in opening a swordsmithing shop...... This rent is ......"
Nie Tong knew very well that the three houses Mu Lin mentioned, the location of the houses was within the jurisdiction of the Great Elder, because it was located in a prosperous area, so the rent rose again and again, so many big and small bosses who originally rented to do business finally chose to leave because they couldn't pay the high rent, but what he really didn't expect was that Elder Mu Lin would leave that place to them as soon as he opened his mouth.
Mu Lin's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally aimed in the direction of Nie Feng, as if he wanted to find some treasure from Nie Feng, but his voice was talking to Nie Tong.
"You can rest assured that you will only be charged one-fifth of the original fee for rent. It's just that there is still one condition, in the future, the sword casting shop you opened, from the procurement of raw materials to the sale of iron swords, must be the first choice of Mufu, and take care of the interests of Mufu as much as possible, so can you do it?"
Mu Lin's tone was still as calm as ever, but Nie Tong, who was originally standing quietly in the living room, involuntarily trembled slightly, which was caused by pure excitement and excitement, nothing else.
Mu Lin's meaning is very clear, that is, as long as the father and son set up a sword-casting shop, the raw materials used in the sword-casting and the sales of the iron sword, etc., almost no need for Nie Tong and his son to worry about it, but as long as they pay off that little rent every month, such a pie in the sky really appeared in front of him all of a sudden, Nie Tong felt a little unbelievable.
Next, Mu Lin took the pen and ink, wrote down an edict, and instructed Nie Tong to bring the edict to the servant guarding the house.
Just as Nie Tong's father and son were about to leave, Great Elder Mu Lin suddenly raised his eyes slightly, stared at Nie Feng for a moment, and then a heroic voice came out.
"Excuse me, kid, what's your name?"
"Nie Feng!"
Nie Feng bowed respectfully.
