Casting Sword Villa, with a long history and 6,000 years of history, is located at the eastern end of the Jiutian Mountain Range, built against the Casting Sword Mountain. Sword Forge Mountain was certainly not called that before, but no one cared anymore. This mountain can be counted as a treasure mountain, especially for the Sword Forge Villa, where many of the sword-forging ores can be mined in the mountain. However, after only a hundred years of excavation, this single source can no longer meet the needs of the mountain villa, and as the birthplace of the Sword Casting Villa, they decisively stopped mining the sword mountain after finding a new ore source, and rebuilt it into the legendary Ten Thousand Sword Tomb. According to the "Local Chronicles" of the "Tianxialu", a random piece of broken copper and iron that fell to the ground in the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb was a sharp weapon that sharpened iron like clay outside, so people flocked to it. It's a pity that the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb is never open to the outside world casually, if it weren't for the superior strength of the Sword Casting Villa, it might have been attacked by the crowd a long time ago.

The current Sword Casting Villa can be said to be a big business, with the Villa as the core, after thousands of years of construction, it has achieved the Sword Casting City with an area of 100,000 tilts. The Sword Casting City is divided into three parts from the inside and the outside, the innermost core is of course the Sword Casting Villa, the outer layer of the villa is called the inner city, which is for those who live in the same clan of the side lineage, and the outermost layer is called the outer city, which is for ordinary people. Of course, no matter which floor, there will be a place to cast a sword, the outer city is the most, most of them are ordinary blacksmiths; the number of inner cities is much less, but the quality is better I don't know how much, like Tian Li's big tiger This kind of boutique is from here; there is only one in the sword casting villa, called the sword furnace, every ten years to open the furnace, the furnace will be the best, the world is crazy about it.

There is an artificial river in the middle of the inner and outer city as the most obvious dividing line, which is only connected by four bridges in the south, east and west. Each bridge was guarded, making it difficult for the outer city to enter the inner city. Usually, people from the outer city need to be brought by people from the inner city to enter the inner city, and they may not be able to have money. There is no limit to the inner city to the outer city. There is no way, someone has a class. However, fortunately, in recent generations, the owners have governed their families well, and there are very few things like bullying and bullying men and women, so although it is an outer city, it is also a prosperous scene.

Especially for the three of them, Tianshu, Qing'er and Susu, who are going out for the first time, this place is even more novel. Tianshu and Qing'er have lived in Qiuxian Town since childhood, Qiuxian Town is just a small town at the foot of the mountain, and no one runs it, so it is naturally not on the same level as this kind of city. Not to mention Susu, who grew up in the mountains.

So when all kinds of stalls and vendors, all kinds of shops, and all kinds of goods appeared in front of them, Tianshu was okay and kept rational, but Qing'er and Su Su were different, and a woman's talent and perseverance in shopping and shopping could definitely throw off a man for dozens of streets. In the end, everyone was dragged around by the two of them for at least two hours.

When passing by a restaurant, Xie Qian hurriedly called out to everyone, "It's been so long, everyone must be tired, let's go up and eat something first and rest for a while." ”

Tiantian's originally drooping head suddenly popped up.

"Well, when Senior Brother Xie said this, he found that he was really a little hungry. "Tianshu is also a little tired.

Hearing Tianshu say this, the second daughter naturally had no objections.

Everyone stepped in, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet them and directly greeted them to the box on the second floor. Such a group of lords with extraordinary temperament, anyone with eyes knows that this business has a head.

Pushing open the window, Qing'er stretched her waist and said excitedly: "It's so lively here, it's so fun!"

Su Su nodded violently on the side, a little naïve.

Ye Yanran said with a smile: "Sword Casting City is not bad, but the things here are still mainly weapons and some related items, which are not very suitable for us girls." ”

"So where is the best fit?" asked Su Su eagerly.

"Hehe, of course it's Daming City. Ye Yanran explained, "Daming City is like spring all year round, also known as 'Spring City', and what is better is that the soil there is fertile, a hundred flowers bloom, and the reputation of 'flower capital'." But the most important thing is that not far from Daming City is the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and the Valley of Flowers is full of women, so there are naturally more women's goods in Daming City than in other places. ”

Qing'er continued: "Well, I will definitely go there! My brother and I are going to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers." ”

"Why is that?" Xie Qian said curiously.

"Because my mother is from the Valley of Hundred Flowers. ”

Xie Qian nodded knowingly.

Hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in his relieved eyes, and he said very seriously: "Amitabha, I didn't expect Senior Sister Qing'er to have such a relationship with the Valley of Hundred Flowers, since this is the case, the stakes are very high, I propose that we go right away now!"

Xie Qian patted him on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "You will get used to it slowly." ”

Here, before he could stand firmly, a figure happened to collide with him impartially. Although he was not an ordinary person, such a sudden impact still made him take a sharp step back. Before he fixed his body, the figure had already rushed away.

As soon as I wanted to chase it, I heard someone shouting from a distance: "Catch that little Hanako!" Immediately after that, a large group of chaotic people came out of which alley.

Relieved, he grabbed one of the uncles and asked what had happened. The uncle shook his head and said excitedly: "I don't know, just see how happy they are chasing, so I also participated." National fitness, national happiness. ”

Relieved and speechless for a while, she asked a middle-aged woman again, and the woman said: "I don't know, so many people arrest one person, that person named Hanako must have done something heinous." ”

"Have you seen what he did?"

"No, where do you want to see this, the eyes of the masses are bright!"

Relieved and speechless for a while, this time it was replaced by a young man, and the young man said: "That little man named Huazi stole the heirloom of the hotel's shopkeeper Wang, and was found in the middle, and killed someone ruthlessly!"

"You see?"

"I—" The young man gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and nodded fiercely, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

These few magical answers made Shi Ran completely give up the intention of asking again. The figure slanted and disappeared in harmony in the crowd.

In a dirty alley, the discarded wooden plank suddenly moved, and a lump of straw slowly rose out of the back door of the plank, and the straw shook twice and fell one after another, revealing a very shabby small cloth hat, and a messy head cautiously poked out. Dahua looked left and right, observed for a long time, and only after making sure that there was no one, did the whole person come out.

If the first few of those people were here, they would have pounced on them right away, because this was the little Hanako they were going to catch.

"Whew!" Xiao Hanako gasped while sorting out the clothes that could not be torn anymore, fortunately it was cold now, and she wore a lot, or she would definitely be out of clothes with this one outside.

"Hmph, you still want to catch me, and you don't look at your own ability!" he stroked the small stone pier on the side, and sat down on it. He took out a large oiled paper bag from his bosom, put it on his nose and inhaled vigorously, revealing an intoxicated expression. swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva fiercely, stared straight for a while, and reluctantly stuffed it back into his arms.

"What's that?"

Xiao Huazi just got up and was about to leave, but he heard a calm and compassionate voice in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a plain white figure, like a holy white lotus blooming in front of him, although this monk looked a bit like a fox, but his smile seemed to be able to give people endless comfort, make people forget their sadness, even if there are thousands of heart waves, they can also be smoothed one by one.

"Who are you?" said Hanako, who looked a little sluggishly relieved.

"Amitabha. Relieved and slowly approached him, "The donor just bumped into the poor monk, why did he forget it so quickly." ”

After saying this, Xiao Hanako remembered that when he was running all the way just now, he seemed to bump into someone, so he said embarrassedly: "Yes...... Sorry I just ran too fast and didn't pay attention......"

Shi Ran smiled and shook his head slightly, and said, "The donor will be mistaken, the little monk just wants to know why so many people want to arrest you." ”

Hanako buried her head very low, her eyes staring at her arms, and he bit his lip, but he didn't speak.

Relief followed his gaze, saw the bulge in his arms, stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, and said, "What is this?" With the voice of the release, an extra oil paper bag appeared on the empty palm at some point.

Hanako hurriedly looked inside her clothes and found that her arms were empty. He looked up in horror and looked relieved, and reached out to snatch the paper bag back, but it stopped in mid-air. "Plop" knelt down and begged, "Please give it back to me." You can beat me and scold me as much as you want, just please give it back to me. ”

After the paper bag fell into Shi Ran's hand, he basically knew what it was - it was the most ordinary roast chicken and the like, and judging by the size, it was only half a small one at most.

"Did you steal it?" asked Shiran.

Xiao Hanako nodded, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't bear to see it.

Returning the paper bag to him, he continued to ask, "Did you do anything else besides stealing this thing?"

Xiao Hanako shook his head and said, "No, I took this roast chicken and turned around and ran, who knew that when I ran out, I bumped into the shopkeeper Wang who was passing by, and accidentally knocked off the painting in his hand, and then he called a lot of people to catch me...... Isn't that a painting valuable?"

Shi Ran looked into his eyes, felt his mood swings, and was sure that he was telling the truth, but it also deepened the question in his heart: "Just for this little thing, is it worth so much excitement?"

I couldn't figure out why I was here, so I shook my head with relief, put on a solemn look and said, "The Buddha said: It's not good to steal. Why don't you get a job?"

Little Hanako's tears finally couldn't hold back and fell, "The master doesn't know, for nearly a month, I have been sick in bed, all thanks to my mother and sister, they begged during the day, took care of me at night, and finally made me recover a little, but they were both tired, I ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't cry.

"Alas......" After all, Shi Ran was a monk who grew up in the temple, sighed deeply, and said: "Amitabha, the little benefactor hurry up, the little monk knows a little about medicine, take me to have a look, it may help." ”

"Really?" Xiao Hanako hurriedly wiped her tears with her hands, and her already messy face was wiped like this, which was more "bells and whistles", but it also highlighted his clear and bright eyes.

Relieved in his hot gaze, he smiled and nodded.

Xiao Hanako stood up, quickly stuffed the paper bag back into her arms, and said respectfully to Shiran, "Master, please come with me." After speaking, he led the relief and walked briskly outside.
