The Counterattack of the Villains

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

This sword uses a rosewood scabbard, a rosewood hilt, and the sword grille and sword head are decorated with brass sword ornaments.

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

But when Blacksmith Wang pulled the sword out of its sheath, a flash 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 patterns, and it shines with a faint purple light and a cold light under the sunlight.

The markings are the reflection of the phosphonium, the calcium floating on the sword body.

Now even Ruan Xingzhu couldn't be shy and came forward to watch.

Blacksmith Wang said proudly: "Master, what do you think of this sword?"

Li Mu said in admiration: "It is really a fine sword that has been raised to perfection. If this sword is properly preserved, it will be immortal for thousands of years."

Blacksmith Wang grinned with satisfaction and said, "Young Master is indeed a man who knows what he is doing. Take a look."

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

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he praised: "What a sword for blowing hair and breaking hair. Uncle Wang is very skilled, I admire you."

"Hehehe..." Blacksmith Wang returned the sword to 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 whatever price you want. As long as I don't lose money, Old Wang, you can take the sword away."

Li Mu immediately reached into his arms, took out a stack of coins, 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 saw that it was a full one hundred taels.

Blacksmith Wang did not reach out to take it, but said happily: "My lord, it is refreshing that you value this sword so much. It is also a blessing for this sword, but this... is indeed too much."

Li Mu smiled and took the sword from Blacksmith Wang's hand, put Jiaozi into his hand, and said: "Uncle Wang, just hold 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 it, wouldn't he think that his craftsmanship was not worth the price?

This is not pretentious. For an artist, the most important thing is to be recognized for his craftsmanship.

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

Blacksmith Wang finally stopped refusing and said, cupping his fists: "In that case, I will accept it shamelessly. Thank you for your kindness."

Li Mu smiled and said: "I'm going to visit Senior Ruan later. If Uncle Wang is free, you might as well come over and have a drink together."

Blacksmith Wang laughed and said: "Okay, drinking with such a generous person like the Master is a very pleasant thing. I will definitely be there."

Li Mu said goodbye happily and left the blacksmith shop side by side with Ruan Xingzhu.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he finally looked a bit like a knight-errant, no longer looking like a weak scholar.

This sword is not made of a magical material like black iron. In fact, it is not considered valuable. At best, it can only be regarded as a fine product among ordinary long swords.

The so-called hair blowing and hair breaking is just a gimmick. This seemingly awesome sharpness has nothing to do with the quality of the material used to make the sword, the hardness of the sword body, or the toughness of the sword body.

You only need to sharpen the blade of the sword to be extremely thin. Even using a piece of pig iron can produce the effect of blowing and breaking hair.

If Blacksmith Wang hadn't cultivated the sword to perfection, this sword would only be worth five or six taels. Even if it was a trained sword, it would be worth thirty taels.

Spending one hundred taels to buy this sword was considered very generous of Li Mu.

Although Ruan Xingzhu's family conditions were not bad, Li Mu's generous spirit still made her look at him differently and her favor doubled.

Inhumane men are popular in any era.

Why did Guo Jing, a silly boy, make Huang Rong, a fair and beautiful girl, fall in love at first sight?

Isn't it just because he is tough enough?

Treat me to a big meal when I first meet you. After the big meal, I will give you gold. After giving away the gold, I will also give you a bloody BMW.

What kind of grade is a bloody BMW? That is the Bugatti Veyron of later generations.

How can any girl withstand such inhumanity?

Li Mu was not worried at all. He only had two hundred taels left in total, and he spent half of it at once.

As I said before, the gold-based martial arts worlds with clear historical backgrounds all come from the same origin.

The treasure of Tianning Temple hidden by Emperor Liang Yuan exists in Xiaoao World, and it naturally also exists in this world.

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

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

…

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

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

Good guy, this tastes really weird, it's all Lu's top quality wine.

Langyatai paid fifty cents per catty and beat him with twenty taels of silver.

Li Mu inserted the long sword into the belt around his waist, left the wine shop with two twenty-pound jars of wine, and then went to the inn to buy some braised pork and roasted chicken to go with the wine.

Finally, I bought some tea and cakes, and went to Cloth Shop to buy two pieces of silk as a gift for the visit.

Fortunately, the guy from Buzhuang was responsible for delivering the goods, otherwise Li Mu and Ruan Xingzhu wouldn't be able to get it.

This guy spent another twenty taels, further shrinking his wallet.

Li Mu acted like he was visiting his parents, but he looked like he was meeting his parents for the first time.

Ruan Xingzhu's home is located in the north of the town and covers a large area. In front of several large wooden houses is a wide open space surrounded by walls.

Through the wall, you can hear the shouts and shouts of the apprentices practicing martial arts inside.

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

It was then that the courtyard was divided into three groups of people, with two groups on the left and one on the right occupying the open space to practice martial arts.

On the left are a dozen young men in their twenties, holding wooden swords, fighting in pairs, trying to take advantage of each other.

On the right side is a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, more than twenty of them, standing in a gymnastics formation, holding real swords in their hands, practicing each move.

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

Among the young people, a middle-aged man with an upright appearance and a beard on his lips shouted commands and corrected the actions of the young people.

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

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

He told the children to rest, and then went to the door to greet them. When he passed the young men practicing swordsmanship, he also called out to his officials.

The middle-aged man was 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 can figure it out for yourself."

After saying that, he followed his wife to greet Li Mu.

The young people who were undergoing actual combat training noticed Li Mu, stopped practicing, and whispered about something.
