Volume 2 Let's Assemble! Dream chaser! Chapter 164: Buying a Knife
The three of them walked out of the shop.
At this time, it is still early, and there are not many people on the street, but everyone has a certain vivid, special, and mysterious atmosphere, and they stop and go in all kinds of cultural and entertainment stores, or play carefully, or seriously appreciate, or discuss fiercely. People revel in it as if they were playing with a shiny toy.
A vibrant, exquisite picture scroll composed of people and cultural toys.
Wu Sheng couldn't help but admire in his heart, only this kind of small and beautiful cultural play street has such an elegant atmosphere, right?
"Then let's take a look at the Ancient Tibetan Knife now!" Zoro said with gusto.
"But I want to eat taiyaki from that store!" Luffy pointed to an old shop on the street that had a 20-meter-long queue.
When they came to this shop, they looked at it, and it was a store that was founded in 1953, and there were a lot of people in line.
When I inquired about it, I was surprised that this shop has the name of "Misanya" for taiyaki in Tokyo.
Tokyo is so big that it can be ranked in the top three, which is not strong. But there were too many people in line, and they were in a hurry, so they didn't go to eat, and now that the time is empty, Luffy is hungry again.
Wu Sheng didn't care, anyway, Zoro couldn't give any advice when he bought a knife, so he said to him: "You go to the line, buy more, I'll go back and bring some to everyone in GM Tokyo, and you can also go back and bring some to Senior Brooke." ”
"Oh!" Luffy nodded excitedly, and ran over to line up.
Wu Sheng and Zoro went directly to the sword shop on this small street, and Rayleigh helped Zoro ask the collectors in the circle if there were any ancient Tibetan knives he wanted to sell, but this kind of thing really depends on chance.
Obviously, Zoro's opportunity has not come, everyone treats the ancient Tibetan knife in their hands as a treasure, and no one is willing to make a move.
Since there isn't, Zoro doesn't care too much, so go directly to the sword shop and buy it.
So he thought of the "Echizen Morisukehiro" that he saw when he first came to the "Echizen Morisotsukuhiro" with a price tag of 24 million yen.
He went back and checked this sword, and it was the most important thing in the new knife period, of course, in the entire katana system, "Echizen Shousuke Hiro" can only be regarded as a big business.
However, in the recent "Dictionary of Knife Workers", the swordsmith Tsuda Sukehiro of "Echizen Morisukehiro" was named the top sakumi knife worker of the new knife period, and was on a par with Akitoshi Uetada, Shingai Inoue, Tadashi Hizen Kuniyoshi, Nagashi Yakori (Toraki), Nobuki Mori Kunihiro (Horikawa Kunihiro), and Echizen Yasutsugu (first generation).
His most famous deed is the invention of the [Turbulent Blade] when he was in his twenties.
Therefore, the "Echizen Morisukehiro" promoted the development of swords in the new sword period, and also had a great impact on the sword production of later generations.
At a recent sword market, Sukehiro Tsuda's "Murayu" Taidao was sold for a whopping 65 million yen, which is already at the level of the highest major business.
But it is impossible for a single swordsmith to make only one knife in his lifetime, and there are more than 1,000 surviving works by Sukehiro Tsuda!
Therefore, this sword that Zoro is interested in is at the level after its quality has matured, not the peak, so it is only the ancient Tibetan sword above the level, which is marked as an important sword level.
If you really want to calculate it, it is estimated that it is a good fast knife in the pirates and a good fast knife in the fifty-one jobs.
I touched the edge of the big knife, but it was a little bit close.
After Zoro himself investigated the sword market, he also felt in his heart that the Echizen Shousuke Hiro in front of him should be the most suitable knife in his current acceptable range.
He looked at the scaly blades in the anti-theft glass case, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
The turbulent blade is a kind of burning blade style that looks like the waves of the sea, which has great artistic value, and the forging and covering of the knife subway
The technical requirements of the burnt blade are extremely high, and it has both artistic value and practicality.
THE BLADE IS 78CM LONG, 6CM LONGER THAN THE TENGU YUDAMA, AND THERE ARE NO CARVED CARVINGS AND INSCRIPTIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BLADE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A MURDEROUS SWORD. (Generally, carved knives are actually used for sacrifice or decoration.) )
He stood outside the door and watched for a full five minutes, Wu Sheng was a little impatient, and persuaded: "No matter how good this knife is, you have to touch it, don't just look at it like this!" ”
"Oooh..."Zoro came back to his senses, already made up his mind, nodded, pushed the door and entered.
The boss is an old man wearing a kimono with a ponytail, on such a hot day, but the kimono is meticulously dressed, and he is sitting behind the counter looking at the tablet, and the whole person looks awe-inspiring.
"Hello." Zoro greeted.
"Huh?" The old man raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, well, high school students, I guess they didn't come to buy something, he didn't put down the tablet, but stared at the two and said, "Is there anything you need?" ”
"Can I take a look at that Echizen Morisukehiro?"
"Nope." The old man replied without thinking.
"Huh? Isn't that knife for sale? Wu Sheng stepped forward and asked.
"Sell." The old man cherishes words like gold.
"Then why can't you show us?" Wu Sheng asked.
"You want to buy it?"
Zoro nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes." ”
"Oh?" The old man put down the tablet, saw the price and still said that he wanted to buy it, so naturally he was a guest who really wanted to buy it, otherwise he would definitely say something like "we want to see it and talk about it".
He looked at the two of them and found that they were both very calm, and there was a kind of excitement in the green algae heads they said they wanted to buy.
And as soon as the two of them looked at their spirits, they knew that they were practicing martial arts, especially this green algae head, the whole person was full of murderous intent, and the whole person looked like a sharp blade out of the sheath, just staring at him, his neck was a little itchy.
Well, this kendo is well practiced, and it is estimated that he is a strong player.
The black-haired imp in the back is calm, not like a knife practitioner, this green-haired imp should buy a knife.
Looks like you really want to buy it......
He shook his head: "Call your parents or masters, and I'll sell them to you." ”
He is not a sword dealer, he will sell it if he gives money, but he will not sell real knives to this kind of imp who practices martial arts.
There is an old saying in China, which is called carrying a sharp weapon, and the murderous heart starts from the beginning.
It's that when you have something in you that can threaten others, you really want to hurt others unconsciously.
This is true regardless of age, so one of the most important aspects of martial arts training is to train the heart.
Neon's kendo has gradually developed into sports competition, and it has been washed for decades, and those murderous swords have finally been washed clean.
Although the inheritance of the killing sword is still there, it has just become a family heirloom.
The gym also no longer teaches killing swords.
Although it won't be a big problem to sell it to these two little ghosts, because if you really want to kill someone, you can kill it by buying a Juhe practice knife.
No fool would spend 24 million to buy an ancient Tibetan knife to kill someone.
But this is the old man's own principles and philosophy.
"Why?" Zoro was a little dumbfounded: "I bought the knife, and they didn't buy it." ”
"At a young age, go back to play with bamboo swords, what's so fun about real knives? It's heavy and heavy, you may not be able to swing well, what if you cut yourself? The old man said disdainfully.
Zoro was depressed, although he didn't know why this old man didn't sell it, but he said that he couldn't swing the knife well, that was really underestimating people, he was now practicing swinging the knife at home, and he was swinging dumbbells!
He brushed it, picked up a knife with a handle mounted on the wall, pulled it out with lightning speed, and swung it in the air!
Call!
Swinging like thunder flashing down, stopping like time and space standing still, the momentum of the whole person slashed down with the silver knife, and it rose to a realm in an instant.
The old man stood still and looked at Sauron in surprise.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
The moment Sauron swung his sword, the old man seemed to see a colorful tiger roaring at him, as if he was on the verge of an abyss.
This momentum! This level! The old man hurriedly asked, "What school did you learn from?" ”
"Hmm..."Zoro hesitated for a moment, he didn't know what school his dojo master was, but his current kendo had actually improved a lot under Ryoma's teachings, and he was greatly influenced by Ryoma.
So he still used the genre of Ryoma: "Beichen is a knife stream." ”
This is a genre that has a relatively large impact on the entire neon kendo, in addition to Sakamoto Ryoma, many celebrity swordsmen at the end of the shogunate, such as Ito Kokotaro of the new writing group, Yamanan Keisuke, Kiyokawa Hachiro, etc., are all from the Beichen Ichito-ryu.
Therefore, it is still relatively widespread.
"That's it......" The old man muttered for a while, this young man, there is something......
"If you wield another 100 knives and still maintain this level, I will sell it to you and get a 9% discount!" The old man stared at Sauron and said.
An experienced swordsman, from the gesture of swinging the sword, can tell how the sword intent of another swordsman is, whether he is frightened, whether he is afraid, whether he is confused, and whether he hesitates.
If the steps are messy, it is frightened; If the eyes are not firm, it is fear; If you fall too slowly, you will be confused; To be uncertain is to hesitate.
But Sauron's 100 swords were swung down, like a gale, like a torrential rain, his torso was steady, his steps were orderly, his arms were strong, and his rhythm was calm, and he didn't shout at each sword like he practiced kendo.
But every time the sword is swung, it can make people feel his resolute will from the sword wind.
The last hundred swords were waved, and the old man sighed, this is a kendo genius.
This kind of violent ghost-like momentum, calm sword skills like wielding a bamboo sword, has this little ghost really never killed anyone?
“...... However, his eyes really don't look like he has killed someone, but more like a resolute look that can only be found after a thousand duels with people. The old man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the swordsman who had condensed this momentum didn't have to worry about whether he would kill people indiscriminately.
Only if the kung fu is not at home, the arrogant waste of half a bucket of water will really use the sword to kill ordinary people, and the real swordsman attaches great importance to his sword and sword heart, and he will not easily let the sword easily stain the blood of innocent people.
"Neon is now a rare true swordsman." The old man sighed, Bushido must have fallen in the early 20th century with the rise of thermal weapons.
It is the luck of the knife to find a good owner of the famous knife, and it is the misfortune of the knife to be displayed here all the time, right?
"What's your name?" The old man asked curiously.
"Roloya Sauron." Sauron sheathed the knife and put it back in place, feeling that it was not bad. Looking back, the first generation of Hizen Kunutada, 4 million yen, was a knife in the early Edo period.
It's not bad, if it weren't for the fact that I had my eye on Echizen Shousukehiro, it would be nice to buy this knife.
"Okay, I'll sell you this knife today." The old man took out the key, opened the anti-theft glass display case, took out Echizen Shousukehiro, and handed it to Zoro: "Look at it." ”
