By the time Hsu Fengnian put on his straw rain hat again and went ashore with his fishing rod and fish basket, Sword Maniac Wang Xiaoping was nowhere to be found. Blue Bird stood quietly on the shore and took the items from her young master. The fish basket was completely empty. Hsu Fengnian was somewhat embarrassed. Not to mention fishing, even if you bent down and slapped the water, a few carps would jump into your hands. Hsu Fengnian was freezing on the lake. He had painstakingly fished for two hours, but in the end, he returned empty-handed. Other than Liu Wenbao, Zhang Bingling and Zhang Chunlin of Youyan Mountain Villa, as well as the woman who betrayed the Guanyin Sect, had also rushed over. They were all grateful from the bottom of their hearts. Without waiting for Hsu Fengnian to say anything, Zhang Bingling, who was the leader of the Jianghu of a province, was about to kneel down and kowtow. Hsu Fengnian hurriedly held him up, not allowing him to do such a big bow. Zhang Chunlin, who was full of famous swords, had a face full of reverence. He could not wait to be apprenticed to his master. Hsu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not reveal the truth. It was rare for him to pretend to be a chivalrous hero. He politely said, "Manor Head stayed here first, and I returned the favor later. We don't owe each other anything. Manor Head Zhang, don't worry too much. To be honest, I borrowed more than a thousand swords from Youyan Mountain Villa, but in the end, many of them were stolen by those South Sea Qi cultivators.
Zhang Bingling had always thought that he was going to die. How could he care about the hundreds of swords that were stolen? Furthermore, the dozens of famous swords in the manor's collection were still there. Like Zhang Chunlin's Rootless Sky Water, Dragon Whiskers Wind Beacon, Slender Waist Yang Spring, and Killer Winter, all of them had been returned to their rightful owners. Zhang Bingling was willing to seal the ancestral Dragon Rock Incense Burner for the woman by his side. How could he value the famous swords in the manor more than his wife? Zhang Bingling was inarticulate. At this time, he did not know how to express his gratitude and repay a little. Such a great man could only tremble with his lips. He held the white-haired young man's hand in front of him. Everything was understood without words.
Hsu Fengnian was not in a hurry to return to the Snow Courtyard. He said straightforwardly, "Youyan Mountain Villa still has three years to forge the remaining Talisman swords. I happen to have a few Qin ancient swords made of materials similar to the Wooden Ox. when I return to my residence, I will have someone send them to the manor. They can probably help Manor solve your urgent needs."
Zhang Bingling's face was stunned and muttered to himself, "How can I do this? People say that a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring, but since it's a gushing spring, how should Zhang Bingling repay him? "
Hsu Fengnian smiled, "Intercepting the South Sea Immortals on the lake was just a spur of the moment. Afterwards, the Qin ancient swords will have to be traded with Youyan Mountain Villa. They will not be given away for free."
Zhang Bingling, who was most afraid of owing people, was relieved. He nodded repeatedly and said, "This is the best. If benefactor does not mind, all the secret rooms in Youyan Mountain Villa, including the Dragon Rock Incense Burner, will be open to you. Other than my son's Rootless Sky Water, which is a gift and cannot be sold to you, the rest are the Killer Winter, Dragon Whiskers, Wind Beacon and Slender Waist Yang Spring. All the famous ancient swords in the manor can be taken away by you. Furthermore, several of our ancestors travelled the Jianghu and had some adventures. Youyan Mountain Villa has some knowledge about Qi Cultivation. Zhang Bingling only left copies of those secret manuals. The original ones will be taken by you. There are also some land deeds and gold and silver in the manor … "
Zhang Bingling was talking excitedly when his wife pulled his sleeve. He suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had forgotten himself. He smiled embarrassedly, thinking that with this young master's family background, he would not be interested in those common things. After he came back to his senses, he clasped his fist and apologized, "Zhang Bingling was vulgar. Please don't blame me."
Hsu Fengnian looked back at the lake and turned his head with a smile, "Shall we go to Chi Xue Courtyard to talk?"
Zhang Bingling did not dare to have the slightest objection. When they arrived at the courtyard, the steward Zhang Han had already taken away the three visiting maidservants, leaving only two maidservants who were working in Chi Xue. The host and the guest sat around the stove. Zhang Chunlin did not dare to sit down. He had the courage to look at this young master who looked about the same age. He had several famous swords in his arms, which was somewhat funny. If he had a few more swords on his back, he would almost look like a person who sold broken swords in the Jianghu. Perhaps because Xu Fengnian's borrowing of the sword was too shocking, Zhang Chunlin mistakenly thought that this white-haired sword immortal only looked young, but in fact, was a transcendent immortal who was already sixty years old.
Hsu Fengnian drank a mouthful of yellow wine, "Has the master ever thought of moving the foundation of Youyan Mountain Villa out?"
Beiliang was short of land and gold and silver, but it was short of talents. Youyan Mountain Villa's superb sword-making skills were passed down from generation to generation. It was a fisherman not a fish. There were nearly a hundred skilled craftsmen in the village who had been working with swords all their lives. Their value could not be measured by a few famous swords. For Beiliang, whose cavalry was the strongest in the world, it was very precious. Next, the imperial court would definitely tighten the neck of Beiliang in the matter of salt and iron. Hsu Fengnian had to plan ahead. If there were a large number of experienced craftsmen in his hands, it would be equivalent to saving a large number of iron ore.
Zhang Bingling was stunned and bitterly said, "Benefactor, to be honest, in these two years, seeing that there was no hope of completing the Talisman Sword, Zhang Bingling had hesitated whether to take my wife and children to the ends of the world and live in hiding. But every time I came to the Dragon Rock Incense Burner, I would not have this thought. Zhang Bingling can die, but the ancestral property of more than twenty generations can not be destroyed in Zhang Bingling's hands. Not to mention other things, every year during the Tomb Sweeping Festival, no matter how useless the descendants are, they have to do it."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and did not force him.
Zhang Bingling did not even dare to breathe loudly. He was full of guilt and felt that he had let down his benefactor who was slowly drinking the yellow wine in front of him.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Then I will exchange swords for swords and take the nine famous swords, including the Dragon Xu Feng Sui."
Zhang Chunlin was anxious and hurriedly interrupted, "Benefactor, take this Rootless Heavenly Water that I am wearing as well. Even if the village has to sell everything, we have to gather a hundred good swords to repay your kindness."
Zhang Bingling smiled and said, "It should be like this. If benefactor thinks that a hundred swords is too burdensome, Youyan Mountain Villa can personally deliver them to your residence."
Zhang Chunlin volunteered, "I can do this. I just happen to want to travel the jianghu to gain experience."
Hsu Fengnian did not refuse and raised his head to look at the elegant and elegant Zhang Chunlin. "For this trip, I have two carriages. One of them can be used to carry a hundred swords. But forget about the Rootless Heavenly Water. A gentleman fulfills the beauty of others. A petty person takes what others like. I am not a gentleman, but I do not want to be a petty person. My table manners are too ugly. It was not easy for me to act like a true man in the jianghu in front of the village master and madam. I cannot break it in the blink of an eye. "
