The place where Huang Xingde lives is called Huanxi. From the name, he thinks it is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The distance was about ten kilometers, and it took Tang Songyuan and Ni Sisi almost half an hour to arrive.
The mountain road was winding and winding, and Ni Sisi stopped the car at the end of the road.
Surrounded by rolling hills, a beautiful stream flows freely along the mountains. When encountering a slightly flat terrain, you can clearly see the bottom and countless small fish playing in the water.
"Jianlu?"
Ni Sisi looked at the simple stone inscription at the intersection and muttered something.
Then he said: "This place is really secretive. Are you sure it is here?"
Tang Songyuan got out of the car, looked around and said, "The big brother just said that the person who bought the meteorite was a master swordsmith. That should be right here."
In his opinion, such a master should live in seclusion in the mountains, sleeping in the open air, and look like an outsider.
"Who are you looking for?"
As the two of them were watching, a middle-aged man stood on the cobblestone path. He probably heard the movement and came over to check and ask.
"Is this Master Huang Xingdehuang?"
Tang Songyuan asked politely.
"Are you here to buy swords too? Come in!"
The man named Huang Xingde asked, then waved his hand and walked inside.
Tang Songyuan was about to say that we don't want to buy swords, but Huang Xingde had already walked away, so he had no choice but to follow him in.
Ni Sisi, however, took her time to appreciate the surrounding layout and strolled into the Jianlu.
The road paved with cobblestones is fairly smooth, but still twists and turns. At the end of the road is a townhouse built with blue bricks. It looks like it has about a dozen houses. It doesn’t have too many decorations, and it shows a simple style. , there is a very tall chimney erected at the back of the mountain.
Huang Xingde stood at the door of a room, and when Tang Songyuan came closer, he raised his finger and pointed into the room and said:
"These are hand-made fine products. Take which one you like and I'll tell you the price."
After saying that, he picked up a sword and sharpened it on a huge whetstone.
On the three walls of the room with the open door, swords of different colors but with exquisite scabbards were hung in rows and neatly. No need to guess, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties knew that they were unsharp.
But it's a pity that he hasn't read Jian Lai, and he doesn't plan to go to Daoxuan Mountain.
Tang Songyuan coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, Master Huang, we are not here to buy swords."
"Don't want to buy a sword?"
"Then what are you here for? This place is not open to the public, and you can't take photos at will!"
Huang Dexing didn't stop moving, and there was a bit of impatience in his tone.
Tang Songyuan said quickly: "I heard that Master Huang bought a meteorite from a friend a few days ago. I am very interested in it..."
"There is such a thing."
Huang Dexing frowned slightly and stopped moving his hands, "But I keep this meteorite for use. I plan to use ancient methods to cast it into a black iron sword."
You took it to make a sword, how can I get the mysterious ball inside?
Tang Songyuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and finally he had an idea and said: "The swords forged by Master Huang will eventually be sold, right? How about this..."
He wanted to say that your ultimate goal is to sell it for money anyway, why not just increase the price and buy the meteorite.
Huang Dexing looked slightly cold and interrupted: "I'm not short of money!"
"Not all my swords have to be sold. Most people are not qualified to take a look at a sword that can truly be passed down from generation to generation!"
The sentence "Not short of money" almost blocked what Tang Songyuan wanted to say next.
Most of the problems in the world can be solved with money. If not, it must be because there is not enough money. The current situation in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties falls into the latter category.
At this time, Ni Sisi also came forward. She walked past Tang Songyuan and walked into the room where the swords were stored. She looked around and took one out from time to time.
"I just took the time to take a look. There are quite a few meteorites in the world."
Ni Sisi said softly casually, then turned to look at Tang Songyuan and asked in confusion: "Glass meteorites are slightly more expensive, but iron meteorites and stony iron meteorites only cost about 100,000 per kilogram, so the junior brother has to keep an eye on it." This piece?"
She had personally accompanied him all the way, so she didn't understand that he had to go to such great lengths just for a meteorite.
What's the use of that thing?
It does not have the unique beauty after geological evolution like jadeite wool, nor is it as valuable as jadeite.
She couldn't even look down on the piles of gambling stones at home that had been confirmed by Ni Dehong, let alone an extraterrestrial meteorite that looked like iron lumps.
Tang Songyuan said seriously: "I'm sorry, senior sister, there are some reasons I can't tell you, but it must be this one."
Ni Sisi curled her lips, a little helpless.
She sighed and said: "He is not short of money, so you have two options now. Either you give up, or you find a way to find another meteorite and exchange it with him."
Of course Tang Songyuan would not give up, so he turned to look at Huang Dexing who was starting to sharpen his sword again and said:
"Master Huang, do you think this will work? The meteorite in your hand is only a little over one kilogram. I'm afraid this weight is not enough for you to forge a real dark iron sword. What if I find you an iron meteorite of greater mass?" , are you willing to exchange with me?"
Huang Dexing stopped sharpening his sword again, pondered for more than ten seconds, frowned and said: "The weight is indeed a bit off, I originally planned to add some other ingredients..."
"But when you said that, I suddenly felt that if I want to get a real dark iron sword, it must be made of meteorites, including the scabbard!"
Tang Song Yuanyi clapped his hands and said: "Master Huang is so right. There are many new materials and alloy formulas in modern times, but in the end it is just ordinary iron..."
Huang Dexing snorted and said: "Don't say so much. Since you proposed this plan, I don't plan to take advantage of you. According to the plan, I will open the furnace on the fifth day of May. If you can find it before then, I will exchange it with you for at least 4 kilograms of iron meteorites."
The fifth day of May? Tang Songyuan took out his phone and looked at the calendar. There was still more than a month left.
As long as we find a way to find a bigger iron meteorite before this time, there is still hope.
Tang Songyuan said: "Then we have settled it now, but Master Huang, you have to give me a guarantee not to transfer this meteorite to him during this period."
"Hmph, don't worry, no one dares to mess with the things I have here..."
Huang Dexing's eyes were focused and he started to grind again.
Upon seeing this, Tang Songyuan said angrily: "Then we won't disturb Master Huang. I will definitely visit again before the fifth day of May."
After leaving Huang Xingde's Jianlu, Ni Sisi still drove the car leisurely. She asked:
"Are you going back to the Magic City now, or do you have other plans?"
Tang Songyuan asked: "Senior sister, do you have any ideas about purchasing iron meteorites?"
For some reason, he subconsciously wanted to seek Ni Sisi's opinion.
