Chapter 13: The Broken Knife



"If that's the case, how can Feng Xiangjing's symptoms be resolved?" , Zhang Yicheng coldly remembered Feng Xiangjing's move of swinging a knife to cut himself, and said in his heart, Could it be that I am the reincarnation of the Japanese devil who competed with Lin Xueyi?

I won't carry it that way, right? "Do you know who Senior Yang was trying to cut when he was sharpening his knife?"

"Come, follow me!" Yang Qingsheng did not answer Zhang Yicheng's question, but pulled Zhang Yicheng into the back room, and then opened a large lying cabinet, and after turning over the cabinet, I saw Yang Qingsheng take out a red cloth bag from the bottom of the lying cabinet, open the cloth bag, and there was a half-truncated knife inside.

"Come and see, young man!" Yang Qingsheng pointed to the stubble of the broken knife,

"This stubble is rough, not cut off, but broken by itself! It was the little devil's knife that was cut and broken! ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yicheng stepped forward and touched the stubble with his hand.

"How can it be so brittle? Are you about to catch up with the paper cutter? In terms of Zhang Yicheng's knowledge, in the Warring States Period, iron smelting and forging technology was very developed, but because of the shackles of some traditional concepts, these superb skills gradually disappeared, to the Song and Yuan dynasties, most of the folk craftsmen were left with only the craft of playing kitchen knives, and the swords made by folk crafts in the late Song and Yuan dynasties rarely came out, especially the processing process of the blade of the weapon blade was an unprecedented regression, and a knife could not be cut a few times on the battlefield because of the curling blade or even the loss of lethality, so much so that it simply appeared later

"Hammer",

A melee weapon like "Gong", which completely relies on weight to smash people, can't kill you, and the master will smash you to death. But having said that, some of the more superb smelting and forging processes are still more or less sporadic inheritance among the people, and Yang Chuanliang, the founder of the paper head workshop, claims to be a craftsman who has been sought after by the Eight Banners, and has been chasing for a long time at this level?

"My dad has been suspicious of someone!" Putting down the broken knife, Yang Qingsheng let out a sigh of relief,

"The old man and my grandfather are all well-known knife craftsmen, it is impossible to be at this level, and the knife blanks used before are also high-quality, even if they are in a hurry, it is impossible to rush like this! At that time, the old man suspected that someone had done something to the knife, but before he could verify it, the shop was smashed! Later, my father also wanted to investigate the matter, but there was no way to investigate it at that time. According to Yang Qingsheng's recollections, his adoptive father Yang Liwan was the adopted son picked up by Yang Zhao, and then followed Yang Zhao to be an apprentice in the paper head workshop, and he was sixteen years old when the accident occurred.

At that time, Cangzhou had a very famous old Taoist surname Zhou, nicknamed Xiao Zhou Gong, it can be said that Cangzhou is the only one who is not optimistic about this competition, before the competition, Yang Liwan once looked for this Zhou Daochang to calculate a hexagram, and the result was calculated a'water and fire annihilation' The result is that the hexagram is like the main thing that is wiped out, and it also has the meaning of going to the soup and fire, and it is the big murderer of the big murderer.

With such a result, Yang Liwan must not be convinced, so he made a bet with Zhou Laodao that if he really lost, he would worship Zhou Laodao as a teacher, but he didn't expect to really lose.

After the paper head shop was smashed, Yang Yunwang died of anger, Yang Zhao died of madness and exhaustion, Yang Liwan remembered that he had made a bet with Zhou Laodao when he was desperate, and he really became a monk and became a veteran, and he was not forced to return to the vulgar until he was forced to return to the vulgar when he made a movement after liberation.

After entering the Tao, Yang Liwan also did a supernatural ritual for his adoptive father Yang Zhao, to be honest, Yang Liwan entered the Tao, is an authentic halfway monk, from blacksmith to Taoist, it is also a historic crossover, the level of Taoism is inevitable, he presided over the super-Yang Zhao, and it is understandable that the resentment is not clean, according to Yang Qingsheng's guess, this is also Feng Xiangjing

The cause of "Yesterday's Disease" - in the previous life, a two-knife veteran presided over the excess, and the grievances were not pure.

A few years before the accident, the paper head shop once accepted a guy named Chen Bing, quite lazy and so person, Yang Yunwang thought that his parents were dead and helpless, so even if this person was very lazy, he did not drive him out of the paper head shop, and when he rushed to work for Lin Xueyi, this Chen Bing suddenly became very positive unusually, which made Yang Yunwang quite happy, thinking that although this Chen Bing was lazy, he also understood the national righteousness. Only when dinner is eaten, everyone goes to the kitchen to eat together and listens to the old man's lecture and encouragement, and there is no one on the stove at this time, but this Chen Bing is always the first to rush to pull the bellows after eating every time, but once Yang Liwan saw with his own eyes that this Chen Bing put something in the water used for quenching the knife (1), but because he was tired at the time, he didn't think much about it, thinking that the old man let him put it, until something happened later, Yang Liwan remembered these things, but at this time the store was smashed and died, and it was useless to say anything, And no one else will believe it.

After the closure of the paper head workshop, the apprentices ran their way out, because of the local reputation stinky can not be mixed, except for Yang Liwan with Zhou Laodao monk, most of the people went to other places to make a living, what Yang Liwan did not expect was that soon after he became a monk, a Chen Sanye suddenly popped up in Cangzhou City, or the small leader of the puppet army security group, a complete traitor, after being fortunate enough to see this Chen Sanye, Yang Li almost squirted out his liver, what the fuck is this Chen Sanye, this is the lazy Chen Bing in the store back then!

Chen Bing, Chen Bing, your name is Chen Bing, presumably your parents want you to serve the country as a soldier, but you are a good kid, you are a soldier, but you are a traitor!

In addition to being angry, Yang Liwan couldn't help but think of Chen Bing's addition of ingredients to the quenching knife, so he further affirmed his conjecture that everything was done by this Chen Bing!

This kid must have been bought by the Japanese a long time ago, maybe what destructive chemical raw materials were added to the water of the quenching knife, and the reason why the Japanese devils wanted to push back the date of the competition again and again, in order to leave time for the paper head shop to fight this unqualified knife!

No wonder that the devil who competed in martial arts didn't cut people and used machetes, all of this is a big conspiracy to join the enemy and commit treason!

"Later, this Chen Bing was caught by the detachment and let Ma Ye (referring to Ma Benzhai) shoot him with his own hands, which can be regarded as a harm to Cangzhou, for the paper head workshop, and for my grandfather and old man and their spirits in the sky...... Yang Qingsheng shook his head and said,

"Didn't you say that he had set up a stove and a knife himself, young man?" Zhang Yicheng nodded.

"Let him melt this broken knife into iron juice and reforge the treasure knife!" Yang Qingsheng wrapped the broken knife in a red cloth and handed it to Zhang Yicheng,

"Lin Xueyi, not defeated by the Japanese, but defeated by the Chinese brutes! The reputation of the Yang family was not ruined by the knife, but by the villain who took in Chen Bing and the black heart of this kid! At this moment, even Liu Baochang was stunned, but Yang Qingsheng seemed relieved, and just shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Liu Benchang, implying the meaning: Don't blame me why I haven't revealed these things to you before, the reason is very simple, you haven't asked me at all......

"Melt this up, and then hit a knife?" After taking the broken knife, Zhang Yicheng was also big for a while, and said in his heart that even if Feng Xiangjing was the reincarnation of Yang Zhao, the problem of sharpening the knife was brought over, but the ability to cast the knife was not brought over, and it was also

"Reforge the Treasure Knife", he can call it the thing he forged

"Knife"?

"Also, after the sword is cast, let him cut off an Oriental knife, and his symptoms will heal itself! When he sharpens his knife at night, he takes out a Japanese sword, and he will naturally cut it! Yang Qingsheng said.

"You mean, let him use a forged treasure knife to cut a Japanese sword at night when he is sick!?" Zhang Yicheng's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered that he was cut, it seems that this Feng Xiangjing did not cut himself, but the Japanese knife he held under his armpit, it seems that he is not the reincarnation of a little devil, and the slashing is just because of a Japanese knife in the armpit, alas, a heart can be regarded as letting go......

"Mr. Yang!" At this time, Liu Baochang suddenly spoke,

"Even if Feng Xiangjing is the reincarnation of Yang Zhao, but there may not be Yang Zhao's craftsmanship, the Japanese sword is a treasure knife nine times out of ten, and it is a bit far-fetched to let an amateur blacksmith cast a knife to chop the treasure knife, right? If the sword is not cut, but his own newly forged knife is broken, will it not aggravate the condition? "To tell the truth, although Liu Baochang's words sound like raising a bar, it is also Zhang Yicheng's most concerned thing, he finally fished out a treasure knife, but he had to be used as a prop to let Feng Xiangjing cut it, and he was almost hacked to death after staying up late and getting up early.

"Hahaha...... Brother Liu, I didn't say it had to be the Japanese knife from the beginning! Yang Qingsheng said with a smile,

"Xu Shiyuan just used paper to paste a fake body of Qin Jinggong, as long as it is an ordinary Japanese sword! Resentment is not a computer, I can't remember it so clearly, as long as it is a Japanese sword, dissipate resentment! Besides, when the Japanese used their hands and feet on our swords, wouldn't you do something on Japanese swords? ”

"So it's that simple!" Zhang Yicheng let out a sigh of relief, and the treasure knife was preserved......—————— Notes: (1) Quenching the sword: that is, the sword

The "quenching" process is an extremely critical process in the process of casting swords. After the sword has been forged hundreds of thousands of times, the forged sword needs to be calcined at high temperature in a furnace fire, and then the sword is quickly placed in cold water to cool the sword body quickly

"Quenching" can greatly increase the surface hardness of steel, and the furnace temperature required for calcination and the water temperature required for quenching are slightly different according to the difference in the water quality of the metal raw materials used for casting and the quenching water.

If there is a deviation in the quenching process, the sword becomes a waste product, and all the work that has been done before, including hundreds of thousands of forging cycles, is wasted.
