Chapter Twenty-Six: Volcanic Village

Under the scorching sun, a cold, cold wall stood on the ground. The high wall is more than 20 zhang, and the whole body is made of black iron.

Thick smoke billowed from the high walls, and columns of black smoke mixed with sparks, soared into the sky day and night.

Within the confines of this high wall, the heat was rolling, and even the air was steaming and twisting. For ordinary people, this kind of place is definitely unbearable, and every extra day is like baking in a stove, and even the house doesn't know when it will catch fire.

As a result, the nearest houses to this black iron wall are thousands of meters away. As a result, a large blank space was formed between the high walls and the residential complexes.

"This is the Sword Forging Mountain Villa in Taiyuan Continent?"

In the sound of rolling carriages, Yang Ji lifted the curtain, poked his head out of the window, and looked curiously at the high wall in the distance. It was also the first time he came into contact with these mysterious sword-forging villas.

Contrary to what I might think, these places are noticeably more rigid, like a field of dry and cracked lava. But there is no doubt that this is indeed the Sword Forge Villa.

Yang Ji could feel the scorching heat from a long distance, blowing on his face in waves, like a fire. In this environment, even the horses pulling the cart were a little restless, and Xi Yuyu barked.

"Childe, it's too hot here. The horses can't stand it, so I'm afraid I'll have to send you here. ”

The coachman's voice came from ahead, and the voice was full of apologies. Business is business, and even if you take this business, you should take it to the place, but the heat here is really bad.

Other times it's fine, but it's the height of summer. The horses, these animals, sweating a lot, could not withstand the heat, and were already visibly resisting his whip.

"It doesn't matter. Just stop here. ”

Yang Ji said lightly.

He is not a person who is difficult for a strong man, as long as the other party says that he is reasonable, he is never reluctant. Billed. Yang Ji quickly jumped out of the carriage.

Bang!

As soon as the soles of his feet landed, a burning sensation immediately came from under his feet, Yang Ji glanced down and found that the ground was all red and red, and even the most ordinary gravel was like red sand, as if he had been repeatedly exercised in the furnace.

Yang Ji's heart moved. Stretched out his hand and copied a handful of red sand, and when he grinded it finely, it felt extremely hard, like metal. This texture is already more than ten times harder than ordinary gravel.

"Sure enough. To burn the surrounding rubble like this, this place of sword forging is at least five or six hundred years old. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

It is impossible for a flash of high temperature to burn the surrounding ground like this, and it must take a long time, imperceptibly, and repeatedly baked to finally form this effect.

This effect will not be achieved without hundreds of years.

The eastern region is not a place where martial arts flourish. It's not a famous place for refining weapons. But just by virtue of the red ground around it, looking at the Sword Casting Villa in the world, this Sword Casting Villa is also the number one.

Yang Ji was suddenly full of anticipation for this Sword Casting Villa.

"Perhaps, they can really help me refine those 10,000-year-old copper mothers into a powerful blood magic weapon. ”

Yang Ji's sleeves flicked, his big sleeves fluttered, and he immediately pressed against the ground, as if he was slow and fast, and walked towards the Sword Casting Villa in the distance like a meteor.

Although the burning is unbearable. And it's in the middle of nowhere, but Yang Ji is not the only visitor here. Outside the gates of Forged Sword Villa. Leaning against the high black iron wall, a richly decorated and magnificent carriage stayed outside, densely packed with as many as forty or fifty carriages.

Although the same scorching heat is unbearable, constantly kicking the horse spoon, these horses clearly belong to a special breed. Extremely skeletal, exceptionally tall, and well-trained, not at all the same kind as the commercial horses of the Layan type.

Yang Ji looked at the emblems on these carriages and vaguely identified many wealthy families and families on the "Secret Book". There are also military insignia, each of which has a great background.

"Sure enough, Senior Brother Ouyang was right, the name of Sword Casting Villa is too big. The martial arts examination period is approaching, and I am far from the only one who looks at the one-third of an acre of land in the Sword Casting Villa. Even those powerful families and wealthy families came. ”

Yang Ji looked at these imposing carriages and frowned slightly.

Casting bronze blood artifacts requires the best players, and the more people who come here to get it, the greater the competition for Yang Ji.

If it is all the way to the end of the martial arts examination, it makes no difference whether you agree or not.

The casting of the bronze blood artifact takes time, and Yang Ji must hurry up. This is the reason why I stayed at the inn for two days and came here in a hurry.

"It's man-made, so I'm going to try it anyway. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I thought. ”

Yang Ji secretly said in his heart, a little bottomless.

The big families and the big families have masters and financial resources, and it is probably difficult to compete with Yang Ji to compete with them. Yang Ji's biggest capital now is that he has seven iron cavalry purely made of iron mothers.

This is a priceless treasure that can be used to compete with other forces when necessary.

Yang Ji glanced at it, and the carriages outside the high wall were empty. There was only one richly dressed coachman guarding the room, and the people inside had obviously entered the Sword Forge Villa.

"Is Childe here to forge a sword?"

Just as Yang Ji was looking at the carriages with extraordinary origins, a voice came into his ears. At some point, a disciple of Sword Forging Villa walked over.

The disciple of the Sword Forge Villa leaned over his right shoulder, and his exposed arm was bare, and the muscles on it were high and high, like pieces of iron.

This outfit doesn't look like a warrior, but more like a sturdy blacksmith in a blacksmith's shop.

Yang Ji is not surprised, the disciples of Sword Casting Villa can't do without the blast furnace and bellows every day, and it is also appropriate to have this outfit.

"Exactly! In Xia Yang Ji, it is the first time to go to Guizhuang. It is also troublesome for Brother Dao to introduce him. ”

Yang Jicheng said.

"Huh. ”

Seeing that Yang Ji said politely, the sturdy disciple of this Sword Casting Villa also grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth with slightly different skin:

"Childe is polite. As long as we come to forge swords, we will not refuse to come. Please come with me. ”

"I'm tired. ”

The disciples of Sword Casting Villa who led the way were in front, and Yang Ji was behind, and the two of them walked towards Sword Casting Villa one after the other. The gate of the Sword Casting Villa is extremely huge, and the gate is more than 20 zhang wide. Flush with the black iron wall.

Standing in front of this cast-iron gate feels like passing through a giant's portal.

"Earth Volcano Village!"

Yang Ji raised his head and saw a few big characters with iron hooks and silver strokes on the high gate. Forged Sword Lodge is the rule of these lodges.

The Volcano is the name of this mountain resort.

Crossing the pig iron threshold more than two feet high, Yang Ji saw an iron tablet standing by the door at a glance:

"Sword Forged Famous Land!"

Under the four characters of the iron hook and silver stroke, there is a painting stamp of the Ministry of Industry of the Han Dynasty.

"Hehe, Childe may not know when he arrives for the first time. Our volcano village is a famous place for sword casting approved by the imperial court. It was painted by the Ministry of Industry, recognized by the three military governors of the Ministry of War, and the documents of the royal family. When necessary, we can bypass the military headquarters and requisition a thousand elites to the imperial court at any time, or even a floating fleet, to guard the villa. ”

The disciple of the Sword Casting Villa who led the way pointed to the iron tablet in front of him, with a proud face, and did not miss this opportunity to declare the glory of his villa to Yang Ji.

There are not many things to welcome guests at the outside door, and most of them are boring receptions. There is only one part of the time. All the sword-forging disciples who welcomed guests from the outer gate were the happiest and most willing to do it.

That is to promote the splendor and glory of Sword Forge Villa to those strangers who come to the Volcano Village for the first time. Part of it is a rare opportunity to show off, which can satisfy one's vanity, and the other direction is naturally to deter those who have a covetous heart to avoid trouble.

After all, the flying swords in the Sword Casting Villa are endless, like mountains, but they are the targets coveted by countless martial artists.

Therefore, the upper echelons of Sword Forge Villa have never forbade this. Instead, there is encouragement.

"How is that possible?"

Yang Ji was taken aback. Although he knew that the other party was showing off, he heard that the Sword Casting Villa could actually mobilize the floating fleet of the imperial court. Yang Ji was still very shocked.

There were strict regulations on the movement of troops in the imperial court, and there were layers of paperwork. The floating fleet is a sharp weapon for the imperial court to suppress the frontiers. Yang Xuanlan is the master of the Taiyuan Palace, and he can be the Yellow Tooth Fleet with the lowest level, power, and scale.

But this sword-forging villa, which seems to be a private territory, actually said that it can mobilize the Yellow Tooth Fleet with heavy weapons in the army!

"Hehe, I don't know. ”

The disciple of the Sword Casting Villa who led the way looked proud. It doesn't matter who comes, no matter what identity it is. When I first came, I heard that they could mobilize the elite heavy army and floating fleet of the imperial court, and they would have this expression.

"Our Sword Forge Villa is also a part of the imperial court, and it belongs to the Ministry of Industry. This iron tablet is proof of this. Don't be surprised, the right to our Volcano Village is not easy to obtain. Do you know how many weapons were built by us? For five or six hundred years, we have been helping the imperial court to forge all kinds of weapons on a large scale. ”

"Now I am afraid that a large number of weapons in the treasury have been forged by us. ”

......

Speaking of which, the sword-forging disciple looked proud. Volcano is privileged. Mobilize the army and enjoy Fenglu, so although the disciples of Sword Casting Villa are generally not too strong, and there are not so many generals and martial arts, but for those big families and big families, they have never been fake colors, and if they are willing to build things, they will build them, and if they are unwilling, they are unwilling, and no one can force them.

"No wonder, I see. ”

Yang Ji looked at this disciple of Sword Casting Villa, and was still shocked at first, but after hearing it, he understood. The status of Sword Forge Villa was earned with its own contributions.

The Han Dynasty had a huge army of millions, and it was impossible for all of these army weapons to be manufactured by the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to build it with the help of these exquisite craftsmanship and high-level sword casting villas.

The level of weapons, quality, and speed of the weapons built by Sword Forge Villa are definitely much more powerful than those departments under the Ministry of Industry.

In particular, unlike flying swords, no matter how sophisticated the army's standard weapons are, they are not as demanding as flying swords, so the speed at which Sword Forge Villa creates these things is extremely fast, but the level and craftsmanship are still very high.

Day after day, year after year, it has been continuously supplied with imperial weapons, and for hundreds of years, this is an astronomical amount. It was with this great merit that the Sword Casting Villa won the special treatment of the imperial court.

There are so many families and wealthy families, and no one dares to embarrass Sword Villa.

Even going a step further, in a place like Zhoufu, where every inch of land is valuable, rich and prosperous, the fact that Dihucano Village can monopolize a piece of land is enough to show that the imperial court treats them favorably and attaches great importance to them.
