Blade Commentary

The heavy iron long sword, which weighs thirty, is very human. Cheng Yin's side-worn blade was previously forged by a blacksmith at the blacksmith shop in Gangneung Castle. The forging of the longsword is very particular. "The fire in the blacksmith's shop was blazing, and a strong man was making a long sword. He roasted the sword on the fire, then picked up the hammer and smashed it with great force, just looking at it could imagine that the weight of the hammer must be not light, but the strong man could use it with one hand. When the hammer fell, sparks flew everywhere, but the man was not moved at all, but reversed the long sword, and struck again, again and again, without stopping. It wasn't until the long sword seemed to have taken shape that the strong man stopped the hammer in his hand and put the long sword in the basin of water beside him. Make a 'bang' sound. ”

Cheng Yin actually likes this heavy iron long sword very much, although it is not a magnificent blade, but it is also extremely handy, and it is also frequently used in the later stories, even if the blacksmith took out a better blade for Cheng Yin to choose when he sorted out the weapon box, but he had already identified the long sword in his hand. In fact, in many cases, it is not the rare blades in the world that can really be used freely, the key is whether you are really suitable. Just like when Cheng Yin uses this sword, it is like a breeze slashing, and it is like a fine stream of water.

So for Cheng Yin, this seemingly ordinary heavy iron long sword is a rare sword.

The sun and the moon are double slashers, two double knives, one is as soft as water, and the other is as strong as the sun. The blacksmith's sideman's blade. The description in the book: "This is the double slash of the sun and the moon. The blacksmith pointed to a pair of knives and said, these two knives, one as soft as the moon and the other as strong as the scorching sun, are superior blades at a glance.

Although it is a blacksmith's sidekick, there are not many cases where the blacksmith actually uses it in later stories. But this blade is very important. Its main depiction is actually in the fight with Gan Ning, the general of the Wu army.

"The long sword in my hand also fell into the distance, and now I can only use my left hand to reach the 'Sun and Moon Double Slasher' of the blacksmith next to me.

……

I couldn't pick up the 'Sun and Moon Twin Slasher'!!

This is what is going on, the 'sun and moon double slasher' is a projection thing, but I can clearly pick up the long sword on my waist before, why can't I pick up a double sword. ”

It was also this sun and moon double chopping knife that Cheng Yin discovered an extremely important piece of information, although it was not described in detail afterwards, but it can be clearly found that Cheng Yin's left hand cannot use the blade at all, that is to say, unlike the right hand, he cannot pick up any virtual blade! But what's going on? Let's not talk about it first, and it will naturally be clear in the following stories, so stay tuned.

The afterimage gun, virtual and real, unexpected, Wu will Gan Ning's blade.

"Most of the afterimage guns are forged from light metal, so martial artists don't have to use much force to wield them easily, and if they are a little skilled, they will form afterimages, like several blades appearing at the same time, leaving the enemy without skills. However, the Remnant Gun has the same problem, that is, it is light, and this is due to the fact that the damage of the Remnant Gun is not large. If you lose your first move, you can easily be hit hard by the enemy. ”

The remnant gun itself is not very powerful, although it can refract a lot of afterimages, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake of the enemy, but because of the need to swing the blade quickly, the texture of the blade itself is often very light, in this way, it is often impossible to hit the opponent hard, but Wu General Gan Ning's blade is different, and he did not deliberately reduce the weight of the afterimage gun, but increased the weight, because Gan Ning's strength is amazing, even the increased weight of the afterimage gun in his hands is also used freely, with ease.

The principle of afterimage:

Chinese name: afterimage, foreign name: Persistencn of vision, Visual staying phenomenon, duration of vision, alias: visual persistence phenomenon.

When the eye captures the moving thing at a speed that is not as fast as the moving thing itself, the eye cannot see the position of the object in motion, but under the influence of visual transience, the eye can see the image of the previous position of the object, and this kind of image is called an afterimage.

The phenomenon of Persistencn of vision is a phenomenon in which the vision produced by light on the retina remains for a period of time after the light has stopped.

When the object is moving rapidly, when the image seen by the human eye disappears, the human eye can still continue to retain the image of its image for about 0.1-0.4 seconds, this phenomenon is called the afterimage phenomenon, which is a limitation of the human eye, when the human eye looks at the object, the image is on the retina, and the optic nerve enters the brain, and the image of the object is felt, but when the object moves, the influence of the optic nerve on the object will not disappear instantly, but will continue for 0.1-0.4 seconds, this property of the human eye is called 'the afterimage of the eye'.

------ Baidu Encyclopedia.

Although Gan Ning's remnant gun is different, in the end, Cheng Yin still found a way to deal with it. The best way to deal with the Remnant Gun is to slow it down or stand still.

"Gan Ning held the spear in his hand and struck hard, the spear actually passed through the gap of the 'Phantom Dragon Shield' and hit my arm, I suddenly felt a pain, although the afterimage gun hit me, but it was only a phantom, I was not injured, but where did this real pain come from? But at this time, I don't have time to think about it anymore, and now is the best chance to defeat Gan Ning. I ignored the pain, and before Gan Ning could withdraw the spear, I turned the 'Ghost Dragon Shield' sideways vigorously. The sound of wood breaking rang in my ears.

Gan Ning seemed to feel something, and forcefully withdrew the spear, but at this time it was impossible. It turns out that the upper gap of this 'Phantom Dragon Shield' seems to be a big omission, allowing the local blades to pass through at will, in fact, each gap is surrounded by sharp blades, and the local blades pass through, I took advantage of the situation to cross the big shield, and the blades around the gaps are like the teeth of a giant dragon, firmly biting the enemy's blades, and now Gan Ning's afterimage gun can't move, and naturally it loses the effect of the afterimage, becoming an extremely ordinary blade. ”

The appearance of the Phantom Dragon Shield greatly suppressed the effect of the Remnant Gun, so much so that Cheng Yin thought that the role of the Phantom Dragon Shield was only used to defeat the Remnant Gun in Gan Ning's hand, but he ignored the more important role of the Phantom Dragon Shield, but as the story unfolded, Cheng Yin gradually understood the true strength of the Phantom Dragon Shield.

Moreover, the four heirloom blades of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting also have their own mysteries, and they also play a huge role in unlocking the strange array of Mr. Ouyang Yu.
