Hu Man'er carried the giant sword behind him, now that the sword has been obtained, he will not stay any longer, after all, he has been in for so long, and the elder brother of the palace outside should be a little worried about himself.

The time to return the same way was faster than when he entered, and after passing through the chaotic iron locks and the long stone corridor, Hu Man'er stood at the entrance of the cave where he had entered the mountain before.

The breeze swept across Hu Man'er's face, breaking through two points in a row, and Hu Man'er felt that his body's perception of the surrounding environment, as well as some subtle changes in his body, had improved. Hu Man'er is confident, even if he fights with Zuo Liangqing now, he will not necessarily lose.

Gong Baojiu has been hanging for Hu Man'er since the thunder fell in the ninth day, but he can't rush into Jianshan rashly, so he can only wait outside.

Seeing Hu Man'er come out, his clothes were tattered and tattered, and he rushed forward with a brisk step and carefully checked that Hu Man'er's body was still intact.

After confirming that Hu Man'er was fine, he sighed, punched Hu Man'er in the chest and said, "Why did you kid get in for so long, I thought you kid couldn't get out, and I almost rushed in to find you." ”

Hu Man'er scratched his head and replied: "There were some twists and turns, but it was no big deal, fortunately, I still took a sword out." It's worth the trip. As he spoke, he took off the mountain kui behind him and handed it to Gong Baojiu.

Gong Baojiu just looked at it casually, and didn't say how the sword was, but he just noticed that Hu Man'er's aura was a little different. Puzzled, he asked, "Your cultivation has improved again?"

Hu Man'er nodded a little embarrassed.

"By mistake, if I talk about luck, I still have some luck. ”

Gong Baojiu shook his head and patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder.

"Brother Hu, we cultivators pay attention to going with the flow and accumulating over time. In particular, the improvement of cultivation still requires our own understanding of all the truths and laws in the world. If you rush too much, you are afraid that it will backfire. I see something is wrong with you these days. It's only been a few days since the cultivation has improved so quickly, which is not a good thing. I'm afraid that there will be a bottleneck later. ”

Gong Baojiu has some premonitions, and the two recent thunder tribulations should have something to do with Hu Man'er. But I really can't say much about this kind of thing.

Hu Man'er put his arm around Gong Baojiu's shoulders and smiled.

"I know, Brother Gong, I said it by mistake. Besides, I'm fine. More on that later. Come with me to the owner of the cold village, and it's time for us to go. ”

When the two returned to the inside of the villa, Han Jiangying was sitting by the lotus pond and eating wine.

Seeing Hu Man'er returning, there was some complexity in his eyes. But it was polite to invite the two of them to sit down and enjoy the flowers and eat wine together. and asked to see the sword that Hu Man'er took out.

Hu Man'er took the mountain kui himself and placed it on the stone table.

Although Sword Mountain belongs to the Famous Sword Villa, the owners of the village in the past generations did not recognize all the swords in the sword shrine. After all, these swords have indeed existed for too long, and there are even fewer who can be named.

Han Jiangying looked at Shan Kui on the table for a long time and didn't remember the origin of this sword, so he gently slashed his finger over the sword.

And Shan Kui seemed to be a little disgusted, the sword body trembled slightly, and then flew up into the sky with a bang, and after a while, it fell from the sky, deeply inserted into the ground behind Hu Man'er, and the hilt of the sword also emitted a series of sword sounds.

Even though Han Jiangying didn't know what was special about this sword, with his experience, it was not difficult to see that this Shankui was definitely a good sword. Therefore, there is a little distress on his face.

Gong Baojiu saw everything in his eyes, secretly laughed in his heart, and did not break it, he slowly took out a package, put it on the table, and said: "Master Hanzhuang, although the matter of cultivating the sword has not been completed, since this sword has recognized me Brother Hu, then we will naturally have to pay if we want to take it away, here is a thousand taels of gold, and please accept it with a smile." ”

Since Gong Baojiu said that the package was a thousand taels of gold, Hu Man'er's eyes never left the money bag, as if the package at this time had become a void, and what was placed in front of Hu Man'er was a huge mountain of gold.

And Han Jiangying, but he didn't look at the package from beginning to end, and after thinking for a while, he pushed the package back to Gong Baojiu, and said: "Sir, where is this, although Han is a businessman, he still knows what money should be earned and what money should not be earned." Yu Qing, the old man and Mr. Wu Daozi were all old acquaintances, and they were a good friend at that time. Yu Lima and the others originally came to repair the sword, but it was the old man who was not fully prepared to cause the sword to fail. It is also reasonable to compensate Hu Xian's nephew for a sword. But the old man still had a reluctant request, and Mr. Wang and Hu Xian's nephew agreed to the old man. ”

When Hu Man'er heard that the owner of the cold village didn't want money, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly reached out to grab the package full of gold ingots. While stretching out his hand, he said: "Master Han Zhuang is too polite, you have done me such a great favor, if you have something to order, if the little nephew has the ability to do it, he will do his best." ”

It's just that before his hand reached the package, he was slapped by Gong Baojiu's outstretched hand, just on the back of his outstretched hand.

Hu Man'er smiled a little embarrassedly.

A roll of his eyes fell on Hu Man'er, and the harem Baojiu turned his head to look at Han Jiangying, and said, "Owner, let's hear it?"

Han Jiangying smiled slightly, stood up with his hands on his back, paced to the edge of the pavilion and said slowly: "You don't want money, but I want you to be a favor...... Whether it's Hu Xian's nephew or Mr. In the future, the achievements will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people, especially you, sir, the forces behind you ......"

Hearing this, Gong Baojiu suddenly coughed violently, interrupting Han Jiangying's words.

Han Jiangying knew that there was a mistake in his words, so he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Hu Man'er naturally heard Han Jiangying's words, and turned his head to look at Gong Baojiu, feeling a little complicated. For this palace brother, Hu Man'er really can't see through it, and it can be said that he doesn't know anything. But so far, I haven't seen him suspicious. So people don't want to say it, and they can't ask themselves, the so-called gentleman is not strong, it's difficult.

Gong Baojiu and Hu Man'er glanced at each other, saw Hu Man'er's thoughts, and a trace of shame flashed. Then he looked at Han Jiangying and said, "The owner continues." ”

Han Jiangying continued: "The old man just hopes that through this favor, if my Sword Villa is in trouble in the future, I hope to ...... I hope that Mr. and Hu Xian's nephew can help and keep my villa peaceful. Ignorance...... I don't know if you want to. ”

Hu Man'er and Gong Baojiu glanced at each other again, stood up together, clasped their fists and saluted: "It is incumbent." ”

After talking about the matter, the next progress is nothing more than some rivers and lakes etiquette, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Because Hu Man'er really remembered the safety of a few people from the same door, and the matter had been completed here, he decided to set off tonight to chase a few people and see if he could catch up with them before reaching the Forgotten Worry Gorge.

Without further ado, the three of them hurriedly packed their bags and said goodbye to the owner of the cold village, and instructed the owner of the cold village not to send it. Han Jiangying is also a person in temperament, so he naturally avoids those clichés.

The three of them led the horses to the archway that had just entered the boundary of the villa, Gong Baojiu suddenly stopped, and said to Hu Man'er: "Brother Hu, since you have obtained the sword, you can't break the rules of the villa, the sword test stone is on the side, it is better to ...... Why don't you give it a try?"

Hu Man'er actually had this intention, hehe smiled, didn't say much, picked up the sword and walked in the direction of the stone forest, and when he got closer, he slowly lifted the sword in his hand, crossed it to his chest, and the true qi in his body slowly flowed into the sword body of Shankui from the palm of his hand. Shan Kui, who has not appeared in the world for thousands of years, trembled with excitement.

Then Hu Man'er suddenly waved the mountain kui in his hand, and an extremely sharp golden sword qi swept out with a slight sword sound, and Ding's life was slashed on the stone pillar of the stone forest.

Hu Man'er confidently turned around and walked back, without checking the changes in the stone forest.

And with the pace of Hu Man'er's return journey, about half of the stone pillars in the stone forest behind him were cut off by Qi Qi and fell in response.

Gong Baojiu and Qing'er were dumbfounded, this sword ...... Where did it come from?

In fact, Hu Man'er was also apprehensive in his heart, after all, it was the first time to try the sword. I don't know the depth. But for some reason, every time I hold it and mention Shankui, I feel that every sword in the next step can open the river cliff and split the stars and the moon.

Sword, tried. And the result naturally made Hu Man'er feel that it was really worth the trip and picked up a big baby.

Hu Man'er returned to Gong Baojiu and was about to lead the horse away, but was stopped by Gong Baojiu.

After hesitating for a moment, Gong Baojiu finally spoke: "Brother Hu, it seems that you and I are going to part ways here. Because there are really important things at home that need to be dealt with for my brother, I have to go back early, here is some money, you keep it for the road. ”

As he spoke, he handed the gold from before to Hu Man'er.

Hu Man'er was stunned at first, but did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he was reluctant, and tried several times before forcing himself to speak: "Brother Gong, who are you ......?"

Gong Baojiu stretched out his hand to stop Hu Man'er from continuing to finish speaking. Instead, he put the money in Hu Man'er's horseback bag, patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder and replied: "I can't tell you my identity yet, but you will know sooner or later, and I believe we will meet again soon." There are some things that I will answer for you when we see each other again. And you just need to know that you and I will never be old enemies. ”

After speaking, Gong Baojiu didn't wait for Hu Man'er to react and turned over on the horse, held the reins, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. With a loud shout of "driving", the horse under him galloped away, and Qing'er gradually disappeared from Hu Man'er's field of vision. Only two words remained: "Take care." ”

Hu Man'er looked at the direction of Gong Baojiu's departure, hugged his fists and bowed to the end, and shouted: "Take care." ”
