Chapter 054: On the Knife
On the street, there are still many people, and there are all kinds of stall owners on both sides of the stalls.
Wang Meng walked forward nonchalantly while looking at the slender knife he had just bought in his hand. He had been looking at it for a long time, but he still hadn't found out what was so good about this knife!
He had just tried this knife, not to mention that it was hard to cut iron like clay, even with a small wooden stick!
"Sister Ghost, what's so good about this knife, why can't I see it at all?" Unable to resist his curiosity, Wang Meng asked the ghost for advice.
"A good weapon can't just look at its surface, you try to put some qi into the knife!" With a faint smile, the ghost said somewhat mysteriously.
Through his mind, Wang Meng slowly injected the qi in his body into the blade, at first he didn't notice anything, but as the qi continued to be injected, he was surprised to find that there was something similar to the meridians of the human body in this knife, and the qi input into it could spread well all over the blade!
"You've noticed!" The ghost smiled again, "It's not sharp on the surface, but there's something else to it on the inside!" β
Wang Meng nodded, he now finally understood why the ghost had taken a fancy to this long, shabby-looking knife.
"Sister Ghost, is it a good weapon like this knife, which can make qi spread all over the body!"
Thinking that he could choose a good weapon through qi in the future, Wang Meng was a little moved.
Since mastering the qi, Wang Meng has found that he is handy at doing many things!
If it is true that he can use qi to select weapons as he thinks, then does it mean that qi can also be used to sense some specific ores? If these things can be done, then Wang Mengke will be developed!
"I see what you mean!" The ghost glanced at Wang Meng, then stopped at the knife and continued, "But I want to correct your misunderstanding!" β
"Misunderstanding?" Wang Meng looked at the ghost in amazement.
"Anything can be encapsulated in qi, it's just that you're just getting started with the use of qi, so it's hard to do that! A real master, flying flowers and picking leaves can be used as a sharp weapon! β
"This knife in your hand, due to the superb skill of the knife caster, allows you to spread the qi in your body well over the blade, this is just the characteristic of this knife! If you want to identify the quality of weapons, you can't just rely on qi, not all high-grade weapons will be like this knife! β
After a pause, the ghost added, "Different weapons will have different characteristics, and if you're interested, I can teach you how to choose a weapon!" β
Hearing the ghost say this, Wang Meng realized that he was too whimsical.
"Sister Ghost, isn't this knife very valuable?" After walking forward for a while, Wang Meng suddenly thought of this and asked.
"Those who know knives are treasures, and those who don't understand them are broken copper!" After saying an ambiguous word, the ghost said again, "In your world, there are fewer and fewer skilled swordsmiths, and many weapons are now made by machines, although sharp, they are not practical!" β
"Sister Ghost, then this knife will be left behind and not sold!" Although Wang Meng wants to make money, he knows more about the availability of treasures.
Since this knife is so rare, it's a shame to sell it!
However, as soon as Wang Meng's words came out, the ghost couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, coward, what are you going to do with this knife?" β
When asked by the ghost, Wang Meng didn't know how to answer.
"This knife is not for you, it is too long overall, and it is not suitable for carrying at all. Andβ" the ghost deliberately stretched his voice long, "it looks to me no different from broken metal!" β
Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ghost, didn't you say that this knife was good before, why did you say that it was broken copper and iron?" β
"I mean it's good compared to other weapons, but in my eyes, it's just broken metal!" After speaking, the ghost floated in front of Wang Meng and asked in a slightly ridiculous voice, "Coward, when you are stronger, I will help you forge a knife and let you see what a real weapon is!" β
"Sister Ghost, you ...... Can you cast knives? Wang Meng was frightened this time, looked at the ghost in surprise, and his footsteps stopped.
"Yes!" The ghost nodded.
As for being able to forge a knife, she still remembered it in the process of helping Wang Meng wake up the reverse Cheng.
In the process of awakening the reverse dragon, although the ghost was very consumed, it also brought her a lot of benefits, one of which was that it made her remember a lot of things!
This is also the reason why she has only brought Wang Meng here to pick up weapons now!
"Sister Ghost, I really want to see how you forge a knife!" Wang Meng looked at the ghost expectantly.
"Then you should hurry up and get stronger! The process of forging my sword requires the use of the qi in your body, and with your current situation, it will not meet my requirements at all! The ghost said earnestly.
"Okay, I'll definitely work harder to get stronger! Sister Ghost, can you teach me how to forge a knife then? Wang Meng asked with some pleadingness.
"No problem, I can teach you whatever you want to learn, the premise is that you have to give me a quick strength!" The ghost is serious.
"Yes!"
Wang Meng saluted a little mischievously, in exchange for a white eye from the ghost.
"There's still a lot to learn, grow up, I can't wait to teach you something else!"
Looking at Wang Meng's smiling face, the corners of the ghost's mouth also floated a little arc, although she never said it, but she already regarded Wang Meng as her important person!
This coward always makes her angry and loved!
Since there are only a few hundred yuan left in his pocket now, this money can't buy anything, and today's harvest is already very large, so Wang Meng decided to go back first, and then study how to sell this knife!
But as soon as he walked far, he heard a very unkind voice behind him:
"That kid in front, you stop!"
At first, Wang Meng didn't care, but as the voice got closer and closer, he couldn't help but look back.
I saw a young gangster with dyed yellow hair running in his direction, and stretched out his finger and shouted again: "That's right, it's you, stop me!" β
"Is he talking about me?" Wang Meng looked at the ghost suspiciously.
"Looks like it's coming at you!" The ghost smiled contemptuously, he already sensed ill intentions from the other party.
"It's strange, I've never seen this guy before, what is he looking for me?" Wang Meng was even more puzzled in his heart.
Just when Wang Meng hesitated, the yellow-haired young man had already run to his approach, and the strange thing was that those eyes were not looking at Wang Meng, but staring directly at the knife in Wang Meng's hand!
