Chapter 581: The village is appearing, and the glory is dying
Zheng Xudong asked Suzuki Guanghui, "Have you thought about it?
"I want to use the highest ritual of the samurai, disembowelment, to pledge allegiance to the emperor!" said Suzuki Guangguang's eyes and stared at Zheng Xudong.
"Well, since I said I'll satisfy you, give you fifteen minutes, I don't have much time. ”
"Thank you!" Suzuki Guanghui bent down again and bowed to Zheng Xudong. Then he turned around, there was a knife holder behind him, there were two knives on it, one was long and the other was short, Zheng Xudong's father told him that Japanese samurai each have two knives, and the more famous the samurai family, the more famous their samurai sword will be, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. The name of the long sword is "Dadao" or "Taidao", and it is used to fight the enemy. The short knife is called "rib cha" and is used exclusively for seppuku allegiance. In fact, to put it bluntly, a long knife is to stab others, and a short knife is to stab yourself.
Suzuki Kowki first kowtowed to the two knives on the knife holder, and with a "bang", he was "pious" when he heard the voice. Then he said to himself: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister can no longer serve you from now on! Today, the minister will use this Muramasa katana you gave the minister to pledge allegiance to you, and I wish the great Japanese Bon Emperor the country's military fortune for a long time! Long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!"
Zheng Xudong's heart moved when he heard the "Muramasa Knife", because when he was a child, he had heard his grandfather say that there are ten katanas in Japan, and these ten katanas are also called "evil knives" or "demon knives" in Japan, and the Shuzhu Maru Hengji Katana he got some time ago is one of the top ten "demon knives" in Japan, which is why the Japanese government will welcome Shuzhu Maru back to China at any cost.
And the "Muramasa" katana is also one of the top ten katanas in Japan, compared to the Suzumaru Hengji Katana, almost everyone calls it a katana, but this Muramasa has a terrifying name, and everyone calls it "Muramasa Demon Knife". Zheng Xudong listened to his grandfather at the time, but he was not interested in this matter at that time, so he didn't remember it too seriously, only knew that the person who built this knife was not right, and he learned to cast a katana since he was a child, but the master of the knife saw that he was not right, so he did not teach him the secret method of casting the knife, but the apprentice who was not right secretly learned the secret method of casting the knife behind his back, and created this famous "Muramasa knife", and after being discovered by the master, he used the "Muramasa knife" he hit to cut off the wrist of his right hand, and since then "Muramasa" It becomes synonymous with ominousness. Moreover, all those who have ever had this sword have had a bad fate since then, but the more evil a sword is, the more people are fighting for it, and there are no less than dozens of "daimyo samurai (the highest-ranking samurai other than shoguns)" who died for this sword during the shogunate period. Zheng Xudong thinks that this may be the "Heavenly Sword, Dragon Slaying Knife" or "Sunflower Treasure Book, Evil Warding Sword Technique" or something like that, everyone is eager to get it, and the fame of the "Muramasa Demon Knife" is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, it fell into the hands of the emperor, and then the emperor probably also felt that the knife was ominous and gave it to Suzuki Guanghui, and now Suzuki Guanghui's death is the best fulfillment footnote to this "Muramasa demon knife".
Zheng Xudong's eyes have been baptized by the genetic modification solution, and he can already say that "a mosquito flying within ten meters can know whether it is a male or a female", so after hearing Suzuki Guanghui say "Muramasa", he focused his eyes on the body of this knife.
The "Tai knife" above is about 110 centimeters long, of which the knife handle is 20 centimeters long, the whole knife handle and scabbard are made of pure white ivory, even in the dim light can be seen that the ivory white is like jade, the knife handle is carved with traditional Chinese auspicious cloud patterns, near the position of the knife body there are two gold Chinese characters Lishu "Murazheng", and the scabbard has no decoration is a whole piece of white jade ivory, the whole scabbard is white and translucent, as if you can see the hidden "demon knife" inside.
The "rib difference" below is a miniature version of the "Taidao", which is less than 50 centimeters long, and the handle and blade are 15 centimeters and 35 centimeters long, respectively.
Zheng Xudong really didn't know how the Japanese benzene at that time got such two large pieces of white as jade, because everyone knows that the ivory is actually white with dark yellow, but this one is really as white as jade, this is really rare, aside from the knife itself, let's just say that the handle and scabbard are very precious!
Mitsuki Mitsuki took the "ribs" from the knife holder like a believer greeting a holy relic, raised his hands above his head, then turned around and gently placed the "Muramasa ribshot" on the table in front of him. Looking straight ahead, Zheng Xudong sat opposite him but felt that there was no such thing as him in Suzuki's glorious eyes at this time, his eyes were very empty! I saw that he held the left and right plackets of the kimono with both hands and pulled them to both sides, and his entire chest and abdomen were completely exposed, and then slowly withdrew his two arms from his sleeves, and picked up a piece of white linen cloth on the right side of the table.
Suzuki Guanghui picked up the white linen cloth with his left hand, picked up the Muramasa rib with his right hand, withdrew the scabbard and respectfully placed it in front of him, and then gently wiped the steel blade of the Muramasa rib with the white linen, and after wiping it back and forth twice, he also put the linen in front of him. Then stretch out both hands forward, hold the handle of the knife with your right hand, and then clench your right hand with your left hand, and from the green tendons exposed on your hand, you can see that Suzuki Guanghui's hand is holding the knife very hard, the handle is outward, the tip of the knife is inward, and he slowly uses the tip of the knife against the left side of his abdomen under the stomach.
At this time, Suzuki Guanghui's eyes began to harden, as if he had made a major decision, and as if he was "sacrificing" to his master, "poof", the thirty-centimeter blade slammed into his abdomen, and at this moment Zheng Xudong saw that Suzuki Guanghui's face did not have any painful expression, but showed a mysterious smile. Muramasa ribs stopped under the stomach of the abdomen for less than ten seconds, and then Suzuki Guanghui slashed the Muramasa ribs horizontally from left to right with both hands, cutting a hole that was thirty centimeters long, and the thick fat on the abdomen squeezed and did not let the blood spurt out immediately, but slowly wet the kimono on Suzuki Guanghui's abdomen.
During the whole process, Zheng Xudong saw that the corners of Suzuki's Guanghui only trembled slightly, but his eyes always maintained that holy and loyal smile. I thought to myself: No wonder the Americans on the battlefield of World War II were afraid of fighting the Japanese Benzenes, this was simply a war with a group of crazy people! These Japanese Benzene warriors never surrendered on the battlefield, and either died together or committed suicide to seppuku to pledge allegiance to the emperor! I heard that the military flag awarded by the emperor of more than 100 divisions of the Japanese Benzene was never captured by the enemy during World War II, and when the battle failed, the last commander would burn the military flag and then seppuku allegiance. At the end of World War II, when the Americans were preparing for a full-scale landing operation on the Japanese mainland, the Japanese Benzene Army Department shouted the slogan that 100 million Japanese Benzene citizens were ready to be broken for the emperor, which frightened the Americans into giving up the forced landing plan on the spot, because they had seen the scene of the Japanese Benzene fighting and not wanting to die. If they really fought with the bayonets of the 100 million Japanese Benzons, the Japanese Ben people could afford to die, but their American citizens could not afford to die, and when they heard that the monks, nuns, and even elementary school students in the Japanese Ben Lian Temple had been mobilized, the Americans were really afraid! This was the real reason why the United States finally made up its mind to drop two atomic bombs on the Japanese Benzon soil and quickly put an end to this criminal war. When he heard his grandfather tell him about this, Zheng Xudong didn't understand how crazy and loyal the Japanese samurai were, but now when he saw the glory of Suzuki in front of him, he finally understood how the Americans were scared to death back then!
"Poof", Suzuki Guanghui pulled out the "Muramasa ribs" inserted in his abdomen, although he didn't bleed too much at this time, his face began to turn a little pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his face.
I saw him struggling to lift the Muramasa ribs, and this time he aimed at the middle of his two chests, which was the middle of the sixth and seventh ribs.
There was another "poof" sound, the ribs were inserted into the middle of the ribs, this time only ten centimeters were inserted, and the blade was left outside and twenty centimeters, it could be seen that he was holding the knife handle with both hands and could not cut the connection between the ribs at all, his left hand spread his right hand and then put it on the back of the knife where the ribs were exposed, at this time, I saw his hands together and forcefully downward, "click, click" twice, the ribs finally could not block the downward momentum of the sharp Muramasa ribs, and the entire ribs were drawn down to the abdomen knife cut just now. A standard inverted cross of Christ was formed.
The hot blood in Suzuki's chest squirted directly from the gap in his ribs, directly spraying Zheng Xudong's face and upper body clothes.
Suzuki's face was as white as a piece of printer paper at this time, which was caused by a large amount of blood loss. In the end, he showed a fascination smile on his face, put his ribs on the tatami mat in front of him with both hands, and neatly placed them with the scabbard, and then his upper body lay on the tatami mat respectfully like worshipping the Buddha and kowtowing, and his head slammed "bang", and he never got up again.
It is said that there are many people who died in the hands of Zheng Xudong before, and he has never had any pity, but I don't know why today he saw Suzuki Guanghui die in front of him in a way that was almost like a pilgrimage, which made him feel a trace of pity in his heart!
Suzuki Guanghui's death method is the most standard samurai seppuku death method of Nippon, in today's Nichiben basically only exists in theory, and now no samurai can really die so beautifully like him, Suzuki Guanghui's seppuku process is as standard as written in the textbook and has an alternative "beauty!"
For the process of seppuku, Zheng Xudong's grandfather once briefly mentioned to him, so Zheng Xudong knew that Suzuki Guanghui's seppuku ceremony was the most standard samurai loyalty ceremony, and it was also the seppuku method of the ancient Japanese samurai to their master. And the horizontal cut is at least 30 centimeters, and the vertical cut must reach more than 40 centimeters to be qualified, and the longer and deeper the cut, the greater your loyalty.
However, during World War II, the Japanese soldiers were no longer able to achieve such "beauty" as Suzuki Koiko, and the pain during seppuku was unbearable for ordinary people, and the samurai were a little stronger than ordinary people, so many samurai could not bear it. Later, in view of this situation, the relevant departments simplified the process of seppuku and added a procedure, to be precise, a person was added to the process of samurai seppuku, and this person's name was "Jiecuo".
