Jiangnan is a good place with picturesque scenery.

However, since ancient times, the north has been more prosperous, while Jiangnan began to develop after people began to migrate south to avoid wars during the Jin and Jin Dynasties at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

No matter how fast the development of the South was, it did not surpass the North in a short period of time. It was not until the economic center moved southward during the Song Dynasty that it truly became a rich place.

Ximen Lanxing is not familiar with these historical backgrounds.

He just felt that this Hangzhou city was not as lively and prosperous as he had seen in TV dramas.

Did you say that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?

What about the said Hangzhou gardens are the best in the world?

The promised fireworks in March... oh, that's Lower Yangzhou.

Ximen Lanxing, who had recited poems and made mistakes, was a little dissatisfied with what she saw.

Fortunately, he wanted to see the "Hangzhou hometown" return to his hometown today. When he got off the boat, he put on a whole set of clothes, but he didn't see the nine streams and eighteen streams, the three pools reflecting the moon, and even the Lingyin Temple was closed. The temple does not accept outsiders.

Ximen Lanxing took a deep breath, changed his shoulder and continued to carry the epee, and began to think about a very realistic problem.

Now it’s not in the game, he has been carrying an epee for so many years, will he not grow taller QAQ

His eldest brother looks 188cm tall, theoretically he should be at least 185+ with similar genes...

Ximen Lanxing took two steps back, approached the guard at home, and gestured.

"Second Young Master, don't worry, you're still young, you'll grow taller." Qinglong took two steps back, and squatted down slightly in his dantian, making himself a few centimeters shorter so that it's not easy to be seen by others.

Ximen Lanxing rolled his eyes and turned to look at another guard.

Xuanwu squatted down with a 'swish', as if seeing some treasure on the ground, thus lowering his own altitude.

Ximen Lanxing: ...

A woman in a pale yellow bust-length skirt was pulling another woman in a purple-red waist-length skirt, trotting towards these three people who were a bit strange in the eyes of the common people in Hangzhou City.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master," the girl in light yellow clothes raised her hand and waved, "There are people selling interesting things here, young master, come quickly."

Ximen Lanxing's eyes brightened.

Finally, there is something fun to do, he is really bored to death by sitting on a boat every day.

I really miss the old days when I was going to get there in a few hours by plane QAQ

Seeing Ximen Lanxing walking towards the direction pointed by the maids with great interest, Qinglong and Xuanwu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Everyone in Wanmei Villa knew that although the second young master was a little willful, mischievous, and always prone to trouble, he was indeed a good young master.The only culprit is when others mention his height...

When Zhiniang made shoes for the second young master, the soles of the shoes were made a little higher, and thick insoles were stuffed inside the shoes, which is called inner heightening.

Suzaku and Baihu were bought back to Wanmei Villa when they were very young and became Ximen Lanxing's handmaidens.After getting along for so many years, the two of them have a clear preference for Ximen Lanxing.

The funny thing they said was that someone was selling a stone that was taller than a person and a half.

Oh, by the way, this height, to be precise, is one and a half of the big owner, not one and a half of the second young master.

A huge stone was placed on the road not far from the pier. It looked like it had been transported by water, but because the stone was too heavy to be moved by manpower, it was placed on the road.

There are quite a lot of people watching this stone.

Some are wondering why the stones are sold?

Some lamented that the seller must be a fool, no one would buy a broken stone.

Not far from that stone, there are several stones that are about the same size as this stone.

Ximen Lanxing raised her neck and looked at the mottled stone, especially wanting to ask the seller what kind of mentality it is?Judging from the size and weight of the stones, only a few stones can be carried in one trip.

But if they are all transporting stones, wouldn't the valuable goods be unable to be transported?

Wouldn't it be a big loss to go back and forth?

"That's it? Is it worth calling Ben Er Shao to see?"

Ximen Lanxing pouted, it's just a broken rock, it's not fun.

"It's just a broken rock. Is it interesting to have so many people around?"

Ximen Lanxing was sure that he didn't speak, so he turned his head, trying to find the person who spoke his heart out among the crowd.

Most of the onlookers were whispering about the same thing, and they were very curious about a person who dared to speak out what they were thinking.Now everyone in the audience turned their heads to look for the person who spoke just now.

When everyone turned their heads, the one who didn't turned his head was naturally exposed.

That is a person who, when you look at him at first glance, you will notice the bright eyes, and at the second glance, you will see the man with the two beards that are as neatly trimmed as the eyebrows.

Being watched by the crowd, the man was not shy, and walked out from the crowd, followed by a young man with a slightly helpless expression but a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss, I'm not sincerely making trouble, but I really don't understand. A stone, why are you selling it here? Could it be that this stone is actually a treasure?" The young man walking in front said while He touched his two mustaches.

The young man behind him had a jade-like face and did not speak. He looked at the young man in front of him very calmly. This was obviously a troublesome behavior.

The owner of the stone seller looked at the young man in front of him in a strong outfit, obviously a martial arts practitioner, so he cupped his hands.

"What the chivalrous man said is very true, this stone is a priceless treasure!"

Ximen Lanxing: ...

This boss obviously doesn't sell anything.

Even if there is something special about this stone, it is a priceless treasure, and you want to sell it for a high price.

Then hide the few pieces behind him that are basically exactly the same as this stone first! !

"It is said that rare things are precious, and if it is a priceless treasure, it must be unique." The young man with two beards touched his beard again, and then pointed to the stones behind the boss, "But this stone... is obviously not measurable. Little, could it be that there are more than a dozen priceless treasures?"

"This……"

The boss didn't know what to say for a while, but the crowd burst into laughter.

Even Ximen Lanxing couldn't help raising the corners of her lips and raising her eyebrows.

These two bearded young men are quite interesting, with clear logic and tight thinking, which is very similar to the way of thinking of his second young master Ximen Lanxing!

"This stone is indeed a treasure!!" The boss lowered his voice and roared, "This stone cannot be cut by a knife or damaged by a sword, and there is no way to leave any marks on the stone!"

The young man with two beards just wanted to refute, aren't most stones like this?

Then he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed not.

There are many kinds of stones that can be cut. His friend Hua Manlou's Jiali recently used a lot of stones in the construction of the garden and hired many stonemasons.Lu Xiaofeng had seen with his own eyes how a mason cut and carved stone.

So, what is the stone that is difficult to leave marks?Could it be...

"Is this the legendary sword-testing stone?"

There are two kinds of sword-testing stones according to rumors.

One is the kind where celebrities are split in half, such as Liu Bei's sword test stone and Qin Shihuang's sword test stone, they all occupy the names of the ancestors.

As for the other type, it is said that ordinary people cannot damage this kind of stone at all. Only those with superb martial arts can leave marks on the stone with sword energy.

This kind of sword-testing stone is quite rare, because no one can destroy it, so naturally no one can mine it.Some stones can only be obtained through some accidents such as landslides and ground cracks.And this kind of sword-testing stone will also be invited home by many people from all walks of life to practice swords against this stone day and night.Until one day you can leave marks on the stone, you can be counted as a minor achievement in martial arts.

and many more……

Seeing that the two-twist mustache whose way of thinking is a bit like his own, unexpectedly showed an expression of persuasion so quickly, Ximen Lanxing subconsciously raised his hand in the shape of Erkang's hand, trying to make him sober up.

Some stones can be easily left marks by swords, and some stones cannot. Isn't this a very simple matter?

The hardness is different!

For example, most of the white marble used to make stone lions is mainly composed of marble, and its hardness is about 3-5. If it is scratched by iron with a general hardness of 5, it will naturally leave marks.

But if it is granite with a hardness of 7-8 or even higher, if ordinary ironware wants to leave traces, isn't that an idiotic dream that violates the laws of physics!

In fact, even if the granite cannot be easily left by the sword, it can still be destroyed by hammering or chiseling. The seller's words are unreasonable, why does the mustache believe it?

What kind of "sword testing stone" has come up with?

These two mustaches look like men, so they must be the babysitters hired by the stone seller...

The author has something to say:

Writing other articles is exhausting.

Return to a relaxed and cheerful style, let me take it easy.

Remarks:

Many of Gu Dada’s essays do not have a specific background of the times, but they also point to the times. I know this.

But I still want to put the world view in the Tang Dynasty.

Not the Tang Dynasty in history.

But Mingkong (Wu Zhao) is a disciple of Houhou, the Tang Dynasty in the later period of the Tang Dynasty.
