Chapter 304: The edge of the sword is sharpened
The short sword is jet-black throughout, with a jet-black scabbard and a jet-black hilt, which is integrated with this black box.
Qiao Shan stepped forward and grabbed the short sword, feeling the weight, it was the short sword of the calf.
Drawing out the short sword, he moved slightly, the cold light was clear, and it was faintly red. The fine dark lines on the sword body, with a slight movement, have dark lines swimming on the sword body, as if alive.
Padanglai also took a closer look and praised: "Good sword!
Qiao Shan asked, "Do you have any stones here?" ”
Padang said, "There are no stones, and I usually use copper coins to try swords." ”
Generally, to test the sword with copper coins, it is to stack copper coins, put them on the wooden pier, and chop them with a sword to see how many copper coins the sword can cut.
There is no shortage of copper coins, but there are no wooden piers here, and the booths are all glass, so Padanglai couldn't find a suitable place to place copper coins for a while.
Qiao Shan came over and said, "Don't bother so much, I'll come." ”
Qiao Shan held the sword in his right hand, pinched a copper coin in his left hand, and slid it against the blade, using the short sword as a saw.
It felt like a potato chip slicing through a kitchen knife, and it didn't take much effort for the copper coin to split in half.
Ba Donglai was a little unconvinced, so he asked for a short sword from Qiao Shan's hand and personally selected a thick copper coin.
"Be careful, don't hurt your hands. Qiao Shan reminded.
As soon as Padang Laiwei exerted his strength, the copper coin was broken in half.
Padang: "What kind of sword is this? It's too sharp!"
Padang turned around and scooped up a short knife from the display case and said, "There is a hidden knife here, do you want to try it?"
Qiao Shan looked at Li Dongwen.
The owner of this short sword is here, and the swords are slashed together, and what damage there is, who can say for sure.
Without waiting for Li Dongwen to reply, several people surrounded the booth next door.
These days, there seems to be no shortage of excitement.
In the era of cold weapons, all kinds of wars, swords and slashes, are commonplace. But now, even if you sell kitchen knives, you will chop pig bones, and you will not be stupid enough to cut two knives against each other.
There is no bargain for knives that can be used to participate in the exchange meeting, and this Tibetan knife from Padang is enough to buy a hundred kitchen knives, and if one of them is bumped, the knife will be destroyed.
In order to test the sword, Badong was really not afraid that the hidden sword would be destroyed, and he was more worried about the short sword. That short sword looks like an ancient sword, and once it is broken, the loss will be great.
Li Dongwen glanced at the Tibetan knife and said, "The sword has no eyes, so don't try it." ”
At this time, watching the excitement is gone, you take off your pants, and then say that you won't act, the play is gone, isn't this teasing us?
"Don't try, Boss Ba, let's open our eyes too!"
A flat-headed, stocky middle-aged man spoke.
Padang glanced at him and said, "Yoshikawa, you want to open your eyes, let's change places after the meeting, you just let the horse come." Our Tang Dao is your so-called ancestor of Taidao, you can't forget your ancestors!"
Yoshikawa was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he said fiercely: "You Huaxia people know how to play tricks, and if you have the ability, come now!"
At this time, Li Dongwen spoke: "Boss Ba, just use that short sword and try it with them." ”
Yoshikawa turned his head to see that there was someone else who was speaking, looked Li Dongwen up and down, and said: "Go to the central demonstration area, let everyone be a witness, whoever doesn't dare to go is a grandson!"
As soon as Qiao Shan heard this, he also became angry: "Grandson, let you see what an ancestor is!"
Yoshikawa turned around and walked back to the booth.
Padang said: "This Yoshikawa, the daimyo Kenji Yoshikawa, is a little devil, a dealer of Taidao. ”
Li Dongwen didn't care, and followed Ba Donglai and the others straight to the central demonstration area.
Kenji Yoshikawa had apparently negotiated with the staff, and a greasy-haired and powdery host walked to the stage with a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a temporary announcement of the good news: the edge of the sword is sharpened, and there will be a kendo performance below, and we will witness whose sword is sharper. This is a duel, the two sides of the duel are the Oriental sword and the ancient sword of China, who will compete, let us wait and see. ”
"I would like to invite Mr. Kenji Yoshikawa, the representative of Toyo Taidao, and Mr. Badonglai, the representative of the ancient sword of China. ”
Kenji Yoshikawa walked onto the stage with a set of knives.
Padanglai also came to the stage with a short sword in his hand.
Qiao Shan introduced Li Dongwen to the audience: "There are three sets of knives, the long knife is called the knife, the fighting knife is used, the short knife is called Jiecuo, the seppuku is used, and there is a small knife, also called a flying knife, which is used for throwing." ”
On the demonstration platform, Padanglai held his sword flat in his left hand, signaling that the competition could begin.
Kenji Yoshikawa saw that his opponent had taken a short sword, and he also put down the long sword, took the short sword, and stepped forward.
Supporters shouted, "The competition begins!"
After bowing and saluting, Kenji Yoshikawa drew his short knife, threw away the scabbard, and held the knife in both hands, staring at Padang.
Padanglai held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and with a slight draw, the short sword was unsheathed and raised diagonally upward.
Kenji Yoshikawa took two quick steps, stepped forward, held the knife in both hands, and slashed straight down against the short sword.
With a soft sound, Kenji Yoshikawa felt a light in his hand, lost his footing, stumbled forward, and almost fell.
Padang stepped back and turned around, his short sword flailing, letting go of Kenji Yoshikawa, who was rushing forward.
Kenji Yoshikawa's short knife was already half still in his hand, and the other half fell on the carpet without a sound.
There was only one knife, the movement was too fast, and everyone in the audience had not come back to their senses, only to see Kenji Yoshikawa holding a half-truncated knife, maintaining a forward posture, and being stunned on the stage.
Badong put the sword into the sheath back and forth, and chuckled: "Sure enough, it is a seppuku knife, and it is only worthy of suicide." ”
Padang came off the stage, and Kenji Yoshikawa was still holding the broken knife and was in a daze on the stage.
How is this possible? How can his own sword be made of stainless steel, how can it be so fragile?
Kenji Yoshikawa picked up the broken knife and found that the fracture was neat and smooth, as if it had been cut, and it was not broken with too much force, but obviously cut off.
When did Huaxia's sword-forging technique become so powerful?
The onlookers immediately surrounded Padang.
"What kind of sword is this sword?"
"What's the name of this sword?"
"Is it an ancient sword?
"Do you know qigong, is the knife broken?"
……
Pa Donglai was overwhelmed by the question, and quickly squeezed out of the crowd and returned to his booth.
Another reporter surrounded Kenji Yoshikawa on the stage and asked questions one by one.
"May I ask what are you doing with these knives, so fragile?"
"Is this something wrong?"
"Can you do it all over again?"
……
Kenji Yoshikawa was not only unwilling, but also full of doubts, he couldn't explain the accident, took a broken knife and squeezed out of the crowd, and didn't even return to the booth, in order to get rid of the reporter's entanglement, he went directly out of the venue.
The reporter saw that the two parties were flashing, and surrounded the host again.
"May I ask the host, why do they want to compete?"
"What is this result, do you have a conclusion?"
……
The host was also confused.
