The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 73
Not long after, Blacksmith Wang came out holding a long sword.

This sword uses a rosewood scabbard, a rosewood hilt, and brass sword decorations on both the grid and the sword head.

From the appearance, this sword is ordinary and has no special features.

But when Blacksmith Wang pulled out the sword from its sheath, a tinge of purple immediately caught Li Mu's eyes.

This sword is about three feet two inches long and two fingers wide. The sword body is densely covered with antique markings, shining faint purple awns under the sunlight, and a gloomy cold light.

The markings are the embodiment of phosphonium and calcium floating on the sword body.

Now even Ruan Xingzhu didn't care about being shy, and came forward to watch.

Blacksmith Wang said proudly, "What do you think of this sword, my lord?"

Li Mu sighed in admiration: "It's really a good sword that has been cultivated to great success. If this sword is kept properly, it should be immortal for a thousand years."

Blacksmith Wang grinned in satisfaction, and said, "My lord is indeed a man of knowledge, you can see."

He reached out his hand from the bun on his head, twisted a strand of hair onto the blade, opened his mouth and blew, and the strand of hair immediately broke and fell to the ground.

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "What a sword that blows hair and cuts hair. Uncle Wang's skills are exquisite, and I admire it."

"Hehehe..." Blacksmith Wang put the sword back into its sheath with a smile, and said, "To be honest, when this sword was made more than ten years ago, it only cost three or two taels of silver."

"If you like it, young master, you can make a price at will. As long as Lao Wang and I don't lose money, you can take the sword away."

Li Mu immediately reached into his arms, took out a stack of notes, took out the one with the largest denomination, handed it to Blacksmith Wang, and stuffed the others back into his arms.

Blacksmith Wang and Ruan Xingzhu took a closer look, and found that it was a total of 100 taels.

Blacksmith Wang didn't reach out to take it, but said happily: "My lord, it's a blessing that you value this sword so much, but this... is really too much."

Li Mu took the sword from blacksmith Wang with a smile, put Jiaozi into his hand, and said, "Uncle Wang, just take it, this sword is worth this price, and Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is even more worth this price."

Hearing what Li Mu said, Blacksmith Wang had nothing to say. If he didn't accept him, wouldn't he think that his craftsmanship was not worth the price?

This is not hypocrisy. For a craftsman, the most important thing is to be recognized for his craft.

You can say that what he made is not to your liking, but you cannot say that his craftsmanship is not good, unless the craftsmanship is really bad.

Blacksmith Wang finally stopped rejecting, clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll accept it brazenly. Thank you for your love, sir."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm going to visit Senior Ruan in a while, if Uncle Wang is free, why not come over and have a drink together."

Blacksmith Wang laughed and said, "Okay, it's also a very pleasant thing to drink with such a bold person as Young Master, I will definitely come."

Li Mu took his leave happily, and left the blacksmith shop side by side with Ruan Xingzhu.

Holding a long sword in his hand, he finally looked like a knight-errant, and he no longer looked like a frail scholar.

This sword is not made of some divine material like black iron, in fact it is not considered expensive, at most it can only be regarded as a fine product among ordinary long swords.

The so-called blowing hair and breaking hair is just a gimmick. The sharpness that looks very impressive has nothing to do with the quality of the material of the sword, the hardness of the sword body, and the toughness of the sword body.

It only needs to grind the blade to be extremely thin, even with a piece of pig iron, it can also be ground to produce the effect of blowing hair and breaking hair.

If there is no king blacksmith to raise the sword to great success, this sword will be worth five or six taels, even if it is a cultivated sword, it will be worth 30 taels.

Li Mu was very generous to buy this sword for 100 taels.

Although Ruan Xingzhu's family conditions are not bad, but Li Mu's boldness still makes her look at her differently and her favor doubles.

A man with no humanity is popular in any era.

How could a fool like Guo Jing make Bai Fumei like Huang Rong fall in love at first sight?

Isn't it because he's tough enough?
When you first meet, please have a big meal. After the big meal, you will get gold, and after you get the gold, you will get a hard-earned BMW.

What is the grade of sweat BMW?That is the Bugatti Veyron of later generations.

Such inhumanity, which girl can resist it?
Li Mu was not worried at all, he only had 200 taels left in total, half of which would be spent at once.

As I said before, the world of gold martial arts with a clear background of the times is all inherited in one continuous line.

The treasures of Tianning Temple hidden by Emperor Liang Yuan existed in the world of Xiaoao, so naturally they also existed in this world.

From the era of "Dragon Babu" to the era of "Liancheng Jue", this treasure has been kept there.

As long as Li Mu enters the golden martial arts world between these two time periods, the big golden Buddha in Tianning Temple in Jiangling is Li Mu's cash machine.

……

"Sister, what kind of wine does your father like to drink?"

"He likes Langyatai wine the most, followed by Lanling wine."

Good guy, this taste is quite tricky, it's all Ludi's first-class wine.

Langyatai was fifty renminbi a catty, and he was beaten for two taels of silver.

Li Mu inserted the long sword into his waist belt, and left the wine shop with two [-]-jin wine jars in his arms. After that, he went to the inn to buy some stewed meat and roast chicken as a side dish.

In the end, I bought some tea and cakes, and went to the cloth shop to buy two bolts of silk as a gift for my door-to-door visit.

Fortunately, the folks at Cloth Village were in charge of delivering the goods, otherwise Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu wouldn't be able to take them.

This guy spent another twenty taels, and his purse shrank further.

Li Mu's posture, he said he was visiting, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was meeting his parents for the first time.

Ruan Xingzhu's house is in the north of the town, covering a large area. In front of several large wooden houses, there is a wide open space surrounded by walls.

Across the wall, one could hear the shouts of apprentices practicing martial arts inside.

At this moment, the door opened, and Ruan Xingzhu led Li Mu straight into the courtyard.

I saw that the courtyard was divided into three groups of people at this time, two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were occupying the open space to practice martial arts.

On the left side are a dozen youths in their twenties. They are holding wooden knives, fighting two by two, breaking each other's moves.

On the right is a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, more than twenty of them, standing in a gymnastics formation, holding real knives in their hands, practicing knife skills one by one.

There were nine other children around ten years old who were striding horses in front of the wooden house, and Ruan Baiming was among them. They were all sweating profusely from the practice, but they were all gritting their teeth and persevering.

Among those young people, a well-looking middle-aged man with a beard on his lips shouted passwords while correcting the movements of the young people.

Madam Ruan looked at the nine children under the eaves, and glanced at the door from time to time, as if she was waiting for something.

When she saw Li Mu holding two large jars of wine, and her daughter carrying large and small bags, followed by a cloth shop assistant holding two bolts of silk, she immediately burst into a smile.

He told the children to rest, and then greeted them at the door. When they passed by the young men practicing swords, they even greeted their officials.

The middle-aged man is naturally Ruan Xingzhu's father, Ruan Xiong. When he saw Li Mu entering the yard, he also had a faint smile on his face, and said loudly, "Everyone figure it out for yourself."

After speaking, he followed his wife to meet Li Mu.

Those youths who were doing actual combat training noticed Li Mu, and they all stopped practicing and whispering about something.
