Even though Hu Man'er and the three of them traveled non-stop day and night, it was five days later when the three of them arrived at Sword Mountain.

The three of them drove their horses to the vicinity of Sword Mountain, and stopped their horses. In front of him is a wide canyon, and below the canyon is a small river with a rushing water. And on the opposite side there is an extremely magnificent manor.

Stone arches were built on the canyon, and Hu Man'er counted them carefully, and there were eighteen of them. Merchants and visitors passed by the stone arch in an endless stream, and it seemed that some were rangers and righteous warriors on the rivers and lakes, and some were disciples of various sects. There were even some soldiers who looked like officers and soldiers were driving slowly along the wagons full of weapons.

It is not so much a manor as a village, with a tall torii at the entrance of the village. On the archway, the four big characters of the famous sword villa are written in vigorous and powerful brushwork. Next to the torii is a spacious stone forest.

Seeing that Hu Man'er was a little interested in this stone forest, Gong Baojiu hurriedly explained: "Brother Hu, these stone pillars are not placed here for people to observe, but for sword testing. There is a rule in the Famous Sword Villa that every merchant who comes to buy a sword must cut a sword here when he leaves, and if there is a slight scar on the blade, the sword must be retrieved and reforged by the swordsmith, and it is never allowed to be taken out of the manor. ”

"Isn't that a sword here...... Isn't it expensive?" Hu Man'er touched his shriveled purse and said weakly.

"It's okay, it's okay. If you buy an ordinary sword, it will be about 100 taels, and a slightly better one will be about 1000 taels. The best, it depends on whether you have a chance, if you don't have that opportunity, even if you have money, people won't sell you. Gong Baojiu slowly instigated the iron fan in his hand.

Hu Man'er was shocked into a cold sweat when she heard this. He turned his horse's head and wanted to leave.

Gong Baojiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Hu Man'er's reins and asked, "Brother Hu, what are you doing?"

"I don't have that much money, this sword is finished. "After saying that, I have to leave again.

Gong Baojiu hurriedly grabbed the reins in his hand and patted his chest.

"Brother Hu, don't be afraid, isn't there still me, if you come, you will be safe. ”

When Hu Man'er heard Gong Baojiu say this, his heart felt like he had taken a reassuring pill.

As a sign of sincerity, the three of them did not cross the bridge on horseback, but all turned over and dismounted, leading them across one of the stone arches. When he reached the center of the bridge, Hu Man'er couldn't help but look down, and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature, the canyon cliff under him hung straight down, unusually smooth and flat, not like a natural formation, more like someone used a sword to split a deep gorge.

After passing through the torii of Nuoda, you will really enter the interior of the mountain villa, where you can see shops with swords hanging from the door. And every three or two steps, you can see the shirtless man wielding the hammer in his hand and constantly beating the iron on the table, and the sound of ping-pong is endless.

Hu Man'er pulled Gong Baojiu's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gong, which one should we choose among so many shops?"

Gong Baojiu reached out and patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, these shops you see are just making weapons for ordinary people. Like the rangers, officers and soldiers you met just now, they are all buying their favorite weapons in these shops on the outskirts of the villa, and what we really want to go to is the most central, the real Famous Sword Villa. It is the only place where the gods are really forged for the mountain people. ”

Gong Baojiu raised his eyebrows, as if he was showing off his knowledge to Hu Man'er.

The three of them are mountain people, and their feet are not slow. It was only after a while that I came to the center of the villa, and this place can really be called a villa.

A very large mansion is located in the very center of the lodge and is built in extravagance. Why do you say extravagant, because just looking at the two lions at the door are carved from beautiful jade that is rare in the world. Coupled with the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, you don't have to think about it to know that the price is expensive.

Above the main entrance, there is a plaque of golden silk nanmu, with the name of the book Jianshan Villa in four big characters.

Hu Man'er looked at the two lions and slowly swallowed his saliva.

"If you can get rid of these two lions...... I can't get rich. Hu Man'er muttered in her heart.

Gong Baojiu saw that Hu Man'er was stunned and pushed him.

"Let's go, don't look at it, you can't take this lion with you. It's important to get down to business. ”

Only then did Hu Man'er remember that he had come to repair his sword, and he was busy tightening the wooden box on his back.

After a knock on the door, someone opened the door a crack in a short time. Looking in from the crack in the door, the door was opened by an old man who looked like a housekeeper, who looked like Gu Xi, and his hair was already gray.

Before the old man could look at anyone, he said: "The rules of the villa, the new sword is not sealed and the furnace will not be entertained, please go back." With that, he wanted to close the door again.

Gong Baojiu hurriedly pressed his hand against the door to prevent the old man from closing. Then he said to the old man: "Old Chen, it's me." ”

The old man heard the voice a little familiar, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and saw that the person who came was Gong Baojiu. Then there was some surprise, and he smiled. opened his mouth and said: "Yo, who should I be, it turns out that Mr. is here, but you haven't come to our villa for a few days." If my lord knew that you were coming, he would be overjoyed. Please come in, and the old slave will go and report to you. ”

The three of them walked with the old man to the interior of the villa, and the luxurious scenery along the way was jaw-dropping. The first thing you pass by is a pond full of lotus flowers, and the green lotus leaves are densely dotted with pink and white. In the center of the pond is a stone platform of considerable size, and on the stone platform stands a huge bronze sword.

The stone platform is surrounded by promenades extending in all directions, and occasionally there are a few pavilions for people to enjoy the shade and enjoy the flowers.

Under the guidance of the old man, the three of them quickly passed through the corridor and came to the main hall.

The old man asked a few people to sit down and rest for a while, and ordered the maid to serve good tea and trotted to invite his master.

Hu Man'er may have been really thirsty all the way, so he took two sips of tea and poured it down. After drinking, he found that he had not quenched his thirst, so he took Gong Baojiu's cup and drank it all.

Gong Baojiu looked at him with a smile, and said in his mouth: "Look at my brother Hu's thirst." You slow down, and no one will rob you. ”

Hu Man'er smiled awkwardly and asked with some doubts: "Brother Gong, where are you sacred, and why do everyone respect you so much?"

"Huh......? This one...... Probably because I'm rich, very rich. When it comes to being particularly rich, Gong Baojiu stretches out his palm to protect his mouth, for fear of being listened to by others.

Hu Man'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, patted Gong Baojiu's shoulder and flattered: "What kind of money is not rich, what kind of face do these people have, seeing that people are rich, they are so respectful and vulgar." Brother, I won't be like this, no matter whether my eldest brother has money or not, he is my good big brother. ”

Then Hu Man'er got up and muttered in his ear, "Big brother, how rich you are." ”

Gong Baojiu stretched out his hand to push Hu Man'er away, gave him an angry look, smiled and scolded and got out.

Just when the two were joking, two people came outside the door in a hurry, and in front of them was a burly middle-aged man dressed in a brocade dress, with two strands of white silk neatly combed upwards at his sideburns. The steady footsteps hit the ground like a bell.

Behind him was the old man who looked like a butler.

Before entering the house, I heard the hearty laughter of a burly man.

"Hahahaha, what kind of wind blew Mr. to the Humble House? Don't you dislike the food and wine on my farm for not being appetizing?" the man's voice was rough and heroic.

Hearing that someone was coming outside, Gong Baojiu and Hu Man'er looked out together. When he saw someone walk in, Gong Baojiu hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and gave a salute. Seeing that Hu Man'er was still stunned and hurriedly smashed him with his elbow, Hu Man'er gave a salute like a gourd painting.

Seeing Gong Baojiu Shili, the man hurriedly stepped forward to support the two and said, "Sir, your identity is expensive, but don't be like this, it's really embarrassing for the old man." After speaking, he turned to the maid next to him and said, "Go, make a good pot of tea for Mr. again." ”

The maid answered, and then a few people sat down, and the man asked again: "Sir is not here to visit my old man this time, if there is anything, please ask." ”

Gong Baojiu smiled slightly: "Where is this talking about the Han Zhuang master, Jiu'er can't come over to see you if it's okay?"

The man was visibly stunned, then burst out laughing.

"Haha, you, you, don't pretend to be okay, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on. ”

Gong Baojiu touched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the Han Zhuang master, and I really have something to ask for this time." ”

"Oh, let's hear it, if the old man can help, he will definitely do it. The man was right.

"Yes, yes, you can help. Hu Man'er saw that the two of them were polite and polite, but they didn't mention important things, and interjected anxiously.

Hearing this, Han Jiangying turned his head to look at Hu Man'er and asked with some confusion, "Who is this little brother?"
