Chapter 290: Demon Sword
"Okay, Yang Meng, don't be sad. Zhang Qingru couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Yang Meng's eyes widened: "Believe it or not, I really gave you amnesia?"
Zhang Qingru said: "Believe in it, but to be honest, thank you for trusting me." β
Yang Meng compared his middle finger to him.
Who can blame you for being stupid?
He forgot that he would still be 'big sleeves'.
Besides, why haven't the people of Dongying seen the 'Three Artifacts'? That's the 'Artifact'! Where is Xu Fu's 'Ten Fists Sword'?
Yang Meng waved his hand, and a long knife appeared out of thin air in his hand: "Who would have thought that the Kusanagi Sword, one of Dongying's three artifacts, turned out to be a demon knife?"
Dongying has the saying of "demon knife", and the most famous "demon knife" is "Muramasa", which is also the earliest so-called "demon knife". In fact, it is better to say that it is a demon knife than to say that it is too popular.
For hundreds of years, there was a knife caster surnamed Muramasa near Toei Ise, and their family has been making knives for a living for generations, and the so-called 'Muramasa' is that they produce Toei knives, and they not only produce long knives, but also short knives and spears, and the most famous is naturally their knives, all of which have been gorgeously decorated with sharp blades and wavy patterns on the blades. Anyone who has read the manga "One Piece" knows that Zoro has a demon knife called 'Onitoru', and according to the wavy patterns on it, its prototype should be Muramasa.
At that time, the samurai were proud to have a 'Muramasa' sword, which feels like today's hipster men and women don't have two pairs of AJ embarrassed to say that they are 'trendy'.
And why did such a popular 'Muramasa' become a 'demon knife'?
This is to say the unlucky Tokugawa Ieyasu.
His grandfather died with Muramasa's knife, his father had his thigh cut off by his men, his son committed suicide by cutting his abdomen with Muramasa's short knife, and Tokugawa Ieyasu himself had his finger stabbed off by Muramasa's spear during the Battle of Sekigaharaγγγγγγ So could Tokugawa Ieyasu like the products produced by Muramasa? So he ordered the elimination of all Muramasa products, and he was given a long knife, a short knife, and a long spear, and whoever had cut off his head.
Because of this, Muramasa was demonized into a demon sword, and all the weapons produced by 'Muramasa' are representatives of bad luck.
Then there were two kinds of swords on the market, one was the original Muramasa, and those samurai could not bear to destroy the sword and changed the sword inscription to 'Masamune' or 'Masahiro';
So now there is a fun thing in the Dongying ancient knife collection market: the ancient knives with the inscription 'Muramasa' written on the knife are generally fake 'Muramasa', while there are many real 'Muramasa' that are not written on the knife inscription.
In addition to the 'demon knife' like 'Muramasa', Dongying also has a knife called 'demon knife', which is the imitation of 'Tang knife'!
As the most famous cold weapon of the Han Dynasty, the 'Tang knife' actually does not refer to a knife. It refers to the general term of the four sabers of the Sui and Tang dynasties, including: horizontal knife, Mo knife, instrument knife, and barrier knife.
The most famous are the horizontal knife and the Mo knife, the 'Mo knife team' in the Tang Dynasty is a world-famous existence.
There are only 11 Tang swords left in the world, and seven of them exist as 'national treasures' in Toei, such as the 'Bingzi Jiaolin Sword' and the 'Seven Star Sword' in the Tokyo National Museum. There are also 'gold and silver Tsukusho Tang broadswords' from the Shosoin collection, and so on.
Many people don't understand how this world-famous Tang knife could be lost.
Some people say that it is because of economic reasons, after all, the price of making Tang knives is expensive. However, Yang Meng felt that it should have something to do with the dynasty behind him.
What dynasty was after the Tang Dynasty? The Song Dynasty was so heavy on literature and light on military force that the people forbade the possession of weapons, and who dared to hide weapons privately and catch them together with the craftsmen who made knives!
And in the Ming Dynasty, the control of civilian weapons was even more perverted. At that time, 20 households shared a kitchen knife, and usually this kitchen knife was handed over to the head of the household to manage, and when it was time to cook, he had to queue up to get it!
Under such circumstances, can the method of making Tang knives be preserved?
As the highlight of the Tang Dynasty army, the Mo knife is very different from ordinary knives, that is, the front of the knife is cut on both sides like a sword!
And Dongying has always imitated the Han Kingdom, so there is also a kind of knife in Dongying, which looks like a long knife and long handle like Dongying knife, but it is a two-sided blade, this imitation Tang knife is called a 'demon knife'. And the shape of the 'Kusanagi Sword' is exactly the appearance of such a 'imitation Tang knife': a long-handled broadsword, with blades on both sides!
That's why Yang Meng said that he was a 'demon knife'.
Zhang Qingru said with a smile: "In fact, Dongying has a saying of 'Ten Demon Swords', counting all the swords in mythology, the first place is the 'Kusanagi Sword', and the second is the 'Ten Fists Sword'." They originally thought it was a demon knife. Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment: "Yang Meng, I still want to thank you." β
"Get out!" Yang Meng gave him the middle finger: "Don't forget to go back and see your master when the time comes." You have made it clear to the old man Yunlong, don't come to me when the time comes, I want an apprentice!"
Zhang Qingru nodded and said: "To make it clear, Senior Sister and I didn't mention Xu Fu and Hydra, we only said that we want to stay here to learn art." β
"It's okay even if you say it, it's better to scare the old man Yunlong so that none of them bother me. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant for you to stay here to study. After all, without you, I won't have anyone to deal with the trouble for me in the future, plus driving. Yang Meng waved his hand, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand disappeared.
Zhang Qingru said while driving: "I also obeyed you, since you know such a good spell as 'Big Sleeve Qiankun', how can you forget it?"
Yang Meng's old face flushed: "I just know too much, so I forgot!"
Of course he blushed when he said this, except for the basic spells of the Soul Summoning Spell and the summoning of the 'Black Domain', the only spell he could use was the Great Sleeve Qiankun, but he forgot about this spellγγγγγγ
Zhang Qingru looked adoring: "I don't know how powerful you are now." By the way, let me give you a little advice, the knife Xu Fu gave you should not be seen by my master. My master is actually the best at using knives. I'm a bit obsessed with knives. β
Yang Meng directly used the big sleeve Qiankun once, and took out a long knife from it, which was different from the 'Kusanagi Sword', it was a real long knife, so he used the big sleeve Qiankun to collect this knife.
Xu Fu has been in Dongying for so many years, of course he has a lot of 'treasures' in his palace, but after Yang Meng saw it, he couldn't wait to smoke Xu Fu-------You are also from the Han Kingdom, haven't you seen good things?
In fact, this is not to blame Xu Fu, after all, Dongying has always been a poor place, there is nothing good at all, and the only thing that Yang Meng likes is a long knife.
This knife is really a treasure, and it has a very long name, called 'Bizen Captain Hikatsu'.
In this name, 'Bizen' is a style of sword, so let's just say that almost all Toei knives nowadays belong to 'Bizen Sword'. 'Nagafune' refers to a genre of Bizen Sword, and finally 'Nagamitsu' refers to the name of the creator.
This Bizen longship's sword is very famous in Toei. In Okayama Prefecture, there is a special "Bizen Nagafune Sword Museum", you know, Toei is a famous sword, and only "Bizen Nagafune" has its own series of sword museums!
There is still a collection of knives made by the founder of Bizen Longship, Mitsutada, in the Toei Imperial Palace, and the sword that set the auction record for Toei swords is also a sword from the Bizen Nagabune series, which was forged by the blacksmith Kaneko.
Yang Meng's 'Bizen Captain Light' is neither built by the founder nor forged by the name, but it was collected as a treasure by Xu Fu for a reason.
Because the owner of this 'Bizen Naga Captain Hikari' is too famous, that is the famous swordsman 'Kojiro Sasaki' in Toei. The characteristic of this 'Bizen Nagashi Captain Hikari' is 'long'! It is more than one meter long with the handle of the sword, and the blade is one meter long, and it is said that Kojiro has a nickname called 'Bamboo Pole' because the knife is too long and can only be carried behind his back
Well..... It's actually not that long, but considering that Dongying men were generally less than 1.5 meters tall at that time, this length was scary.
Legend has it that Sasaki Kojiro lost to Miyamoto Musashi in a sword contest with another swordsman Miyamoto Musashi on an island in the Kanmon Strait, and since then the identity of Miyamoto Musashi Toei's first swordsman has been determined.
In fact, neither of them compared? Miyamoto Musashi's autobiography doesn't mention it at all.
So how did this statement come about? It was written in a book written by Miyamoto Musashi's descendants one hundred and twenty years after Musashi's death, and then the matter was handed down, and it was all made up, just like Huaxia said, 'The Year Beast Said'.
And even if it's true, the way Miyamoto Musashi won is very dishonorable, according to the earliest "Two Days" records, Miyamen Musashi was deliberately late, and then chose the duel location on his own dark side, and then he rowed there first scolded Sasaki Kojiro, and then took advantage of Kojiro Sasaki's head to smash Sasaki Kojiro's head with an oar when he got up from the ground. After all the people overseeing the decisive battle were gone, he and his disciples killed Kojiro with daggers while no one was in sight.
I really don't know if his apprentice wrote this content for the sake of Kuronomiya Musashi, this Nima feels ashamed when he says it, and Nima Jianhao, this is not as good as a little hooligan fight.
But no matter what, this knife is really good, and it is not without harvest when I finally go to Dongying, so I go back and hang it in the hotel for a casual visit.
This is a good gift!
Yang Meng played with the long knife in his hand, turned his head and asked Zhang Qingru, "Qingru, what kind of place is that Jiangtiandao City?"
"Well, a place where you can watch the sea and eat seafood. β
"Gone?"
"It's gone!"
