As if sensing that it was too close to me, she moved a few steps away. I followed closely, looking at the beautiful woman and remembering the sword dance when I saw her last week. I know a little about ancient swords, but I don't know much about swordsmanship, and I feel that the appearance of dancing swords is neither exaggerated like in film and television dramas, nor as slow and meticulous as those old people in reality.

"I see that you made the sword different from others last time, it is very special, can you show it again today?" I made a small request. The previous conversation had obviously won the favor of the beautiful woman, and the words of the mouth seemed to be much more cordial, so I was a little bolder.

"Last time, it was mainly to match Xue Qing's piano music, it was a little more fancy, and the real swordsmanship is not like that."

"Oh! Are you lucky enough to see the real swordsmanship today? I was overjoyed, and my voice was deliberately raised.

Chen Xufeng glared at me, but he didn't see annoyance, thinking that he was pretending to be a gesture. Sure enough, he asked me to wait a moment and go into the house to get my sword. After a while, she walked out with a wooden sword in her hand, and looked at me stunned for a moment, and smiled.

"Do you wonder what I'm doing with a wooden sword?" He asked casually after a few strokes. I nodded.

"In order for you to feel the real swordsmanship, I make the sword attack on you, you try to dodge, how! If you use a real sword, it will hurt you. She said playfully. With a flick of her wrist, the wooden sword rolled rapidly in her hand.

"Okay!" Although I was surprised, but when I think about it, the feeling of being there must be deeper than admiring it from the sidelines, and it is indeed a good way to let me experience it in this way.

We found a place in the courtyard to find a more open space, and when I was ready, I exclaimed, "Be careful! That is, a sword struck.

When a sword attacked, Xu Fei restrained his smile, and his momentum changed suddenly, as if he had changed a person. It's as if the attack is not a friend you can talk to, but an enemy. The wooden sword first hit me in the left chest, and when I turned sideways to dodge, the wooden sword immediately turned and struck me to the right, and I had to take a half step back. Before I could retreat into position, the sword immediately turned again, and the wooden sword was already in front of my chest. The strength of the flocculent is very good, and the force of the will against my chest is retracted and the sword is withdrawn. The whole action was done in one go, there was no superfluous movement, and if it was a real sword and I didn't leave my hand, I would have been injured. The sword move just now seems simple, but it makes people feel that there is no way to avoid it, and this feeling will never be felt if you don't experience it yourself and just look at it from the sidelines, and I understand why the sword is attacking me.

"How!" The pretty tone of the voice sounded again, and a shallow smile returned to her face, which was completely different from the appearance of the sword just now, as if a person had gone around from outer space and returned, returning to normal feeling.

"I feel a hint of murder!" I said in all seriousness, "Why do you feel like a different person when you make the sword?" ”

Su Fei smiled gracefully: "This is normal, some swordsmanship masters use swords to make people feel like they are in an ice cave." ”

"Is it so strong? If you use a wooden sword to do this, then you can pay it back with a sword! "I couldn't help but sigh and be amazed by the ancient oriental techniques.

"You should be able to do it too, I've just been practicing for a few more years."

"Then you teach me how!" I said eagerly, so I proposed to learn a thing and suddenly felt that my interest in swordsmanship was much greater than that of qigong, probably because I thought that swinging a sword would look more handsome! The second is also to increase the time spent with the beauty.

He nodded, threw the wooden sword to me, and said, "I'll go get a sword." When she returned, she walked out with the sword she had used last time in her hand.

I learned it seriously, first of all, the starting pose: the whole person's legs are slightly separated, and the sword in the right hand is slightly obliquely pointed to the ground. If the opponent attacks, you can take half a step back to avoid its edge and immediately swing the sword to counterattack." ”

After saying that, her right leg took half a step back, and with a wave of her right hand, a touch of Qingfeng stabbed straight ahead. She demonstrated a few more moves, and finally said, "Let's learn these moves first!" The pace of swordsmanship is very important, it is the root of swordsmanship, you must remember that the pace can not be messed up at any time, and if the pace is messy, you will not be far from failure. ”

I nodded, and learned these simple movements seriously, maybe my understanding is also good, and after practicing for a while, I will look good. After feeling perfect for a few tricks, I put away my sword and stood, and I nodded slightly in appreciation. I glanced at my teacher and saw her standing with the scabbard in her left hand, and the sword in her hand lined her with great strength.

"Can I take a look at this sword!" Looking at the delicate hilt, I couldn't help but want to catch a glimpse of the blade.

He handed it over and said, "Be careful, it's heavy." ”

I took the sword with its sheath. As soon as she started, it was as she said, very heavy. I looked surprised and quickly took a closer look. This is an antique sword with a simple shape. The scabbard is made of black hardwood and ends with a brass carved dragon ornament. The upper end of the scabbard is wound with a black string, and the position should be convenient for holding the scabbard with one hand. The gauntlet of the sword is also made of brass, the whole gauntlet is carved into a pair of small dragons, two small dragons are symmetrically designed with one left and one right, the dragon horns are tightly against each other, the dragon heads look at each other, the dragon body is a big S shape, and the dragon tail is slightly out of the hilt, which is particularly exquisite. As soon as the blade of the sword came out, I saw the shining blue light, and the sword body was covered with tree heart patterns and feather patterns, and I couldn't help but be stunned. When he pulled out the full edge, he saw that the sword blade was a double groove shape, the tree heart pattern was pleasing to the eye at the groove, and the feather pattern was dotted at the blade, which was very beautiful. After looking at it for a while, I put the sword in the sheath, handed it back to the master, and said again and again: "Good sword!" Good sword!. ”

Chen Xu pressed the sword, pulled out the blade, the fingers of his left hand slowly went up from the gauntlet along the blade, the white fingers and the green and cold blade formed a wonderful contrast, the action of stroking the sword was so casual and natural, it seemed so free and easy. She opened her mouth and said: "This sword is named Qingshuang, it is my master's proud work, it is in the shape of a Han sword in ancient times, the sword is 98 centimeters long and weighs 6.8 kilograms. ”

"How can it be so heavy?" I wondered, a sword of this length is usually more than a kilogram!

"It's made of No. 38 Q steel, which is heavier, of course." The corners of Chen Xu's eyes were slightly stretched and explained.

"Isn't it too extravagant to make a sword from Q steel, this is a high-end aviation material! The machinability doesn't seem to be as good as ordinary steel! ”

"You're right, but the performance of ordinary steel is too poor, and it is easy to rust and cannot be stored for a long time, so it is different with Q alloy, which not only has a performance far beyond ancient swords, but also has special functions. As for the machinability, it has been solved by my master! Chen Xufei said a little proudly.

"Oh, what's the special feature?" Chen Xufei squinted at me and smiled, "It's inconvenient to say this, at least not now!" ”

"I don't know if it's inconvenient to try the sharpness of this sword." The more I look at Qingshuang, the more I like it, I can't suppress my curiosity, I want to see how sharp this sword is, I really haven't seen a sword forged with Q steel, I think it should be very sharp.

"Yes!"

"What should you try? You can't try it with wood. "I made a secret request.

Su Er smiled slightly: "Of course the wood can't test its sharpness, in fact, everyone who has seen this sword has this idea, so I have even prepared the materials for testing the sword here." ”

After saying that, I didn't know where to take out a steel bar. This steel bar is about 4 centimeters thick and more than 20 centimeters long. Chen Xufei motioned for me to take the sword and try it.

I looked at the steel bar, which was wider than a sword, and said, "Don't blame me for the cut." ”

Chen Xufei smiled: "No, if it is broken, it will be sent to you, just pay attention not to be too slow when chopping." ”

Since I said so, I was relieved to try it boldly. I held the steel bar in my left hand and the sword in my right hand, and I felt only a slight resistance, like cutting wood with a normal sharp sword. With a "bang", the steel bar has been divided into two, the section is very smooth, and then look at the blade, there is no gap.

"Good sword! What a good sword! My eyes lit up and I exclaimed, "It's really like clay!" Real pins are like mud! ”

Su Fei nodded: "This sword is not only good in terms of materials, but also has excellent craftsmanship." Look at the pattern on this sword, which is a mark made using the ancient method. When the sword embryo is folded and forged repeatedly, the lines on the sword are left, and after more than ten folds, it will form a beautiful pattern, which is also called a hundred refining pattern steel. It's just that the ancient sword method used ordinary furnace fire, and this sword was made with an atomic furnace, otherwise ordinary furnace fire would not be able to burn No. 38 Q steel red. ”

I was still a little puzzled when I heard her say this, and asked: "I have also learned about this process in ancient times, but at that time, ordinary steel was used, and this method was needed to remove impurities and improve material properties. ”

Hearing me say this, Chen Xu's eyes lit up and replied: "It seems that you still know a lot about sword craftsmanship, and there are not many people who know this kind of ancient thing now." In fact, I also had this question at the beginning, but the master told me that after a hundred tempering, the performance of Q steel can be improved a lot, not just because there are more patterns on the sword body! But he didn't understand why. ”

The two of them talked about the ancient sword for a long time, I intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the special functions of this sword, maybe Chen Xufei thought I was a bosom friend in this regard, and said more, it turned out that this sword was embedded in the hilt of the sword when it was made. Because of the embedded things, the part of the hilt of the sword is not refined, as for what is embedded, she still didn't say, saying that the master would not let outsiders tell it. Everyone has their own secrets, and there must be a reason for her to do so, so I can't ask again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it's time to eat. I invited her to dinner and said that it was regarded as an apprenticeship banquet, but Chen Xufei said that the apprenticeship banquet would be waived, and it would be better to get together as friends again. As soon as I heard this, I was overjoyed and chose a very elegant restaurant to ask her opinion, and she agreed. So the two went together and agreed to meet next week after a pleasant meal.
