Chapter 7: Knife Sickness

Turning around, Zhang Guoyi drove the car to a villa area in the suburbs. Just looking at the place where he lives, the parties involved in this incident must not be idle people.

According to Zhang Guoyi's words, the party to this incident is called Feng Xiangjing, who is Zhang Guoyi's buddy who has just been contacted through Ou Jinyang's relationship recently.

When he went to the countryside, this Feng Xiangjing married a daughter-in-law named Wang Yunxia in the countryside, Wang Yunxia's father was originally a cadre in the city, and he was beaten as a traitor at the beginning of the special period, and he was sent to the countryside with the whole family. Later, at the end of the special period, Wang Yunxia's father not only resigned repeatedly, but also climbed higher and higher, and this Feng Xiangjing himself seems to be an economically minded person, since the beginning of the reform and opening up, he began to go to the sea to do business, not to mention the relationship between the old man and the officialdom, he alone has a net worth of tens of millions.

In Zhang Guoyi's memory, this person has been particularly fond of cold weapons such as swords since he was a child, due to the limited conditions at the time, he has never caught any decent guys, and the best so-called collection is a military stab (1) that I don't know where to get it, which was brought to the school for display and confiscated by the Security Section. After making a fortune in business, this Feng Xiangjing relied on his own savings to save some money, and began to search for famous swords and swords through various channels, not only Chinese and foreign food, but also a Zheng Qianjin will never feel distressed, this accident, it is suspected that a Japanese knife received from Cangzhou at a high price not long ago is not clean.

The Japanese knife was collected from Cangzhou, not long after it was brought home, this Feng Xiangjing had more "grinding knives in the middle of the night" such a problem, and grinning teeth can scare a living person, although the symptoms are similar to sleepwalking, but the family has tried all kinds of means to wake up, splashing cold water has also tried, firecrackers have also been tried, and even tied with ropes, all of which worked, especially when tied with ropes, this Feng Xiangjing broke his arms, and broke off the rope and went straight to the whetstone, no matter what had happened or was happening around him, As long as it is the middle of the night, there is a mind - sharpening the knife, and the most terrible thing is that when you get up the next morning, this person is like no one, and you don't even know what you have done in the middle of the night.

During this period, the family has thought of a lot of ways, including inviting the monk to open the altar, inviting the master to see, and even renting a house in the field to put the Japanese knife in the field, which is useless, during which the major hospitals have also seen, and the results have not been found out why, and finally the old man gave an idea, that is, to sleep during the day and wake up at night, to say that this trick really works, the knife is not sharpened, but a big living person can not live all day according to the time difference in the United States, the days can not pass? Is the business still dry? So much so that Feng Xiangjing once said that who can take care of the problem of sharpening knives in the middle of the night, not only a Japanese knife gift, but also an honorarium of 500,000 yuan for a three-bedroom commercial house in the city.

"Sharpening knives?" Hearing Zhang Guoyi say this, Zhang Yicheng's heart moved, and he said that it wouldn't be so coincidental, right? How is this problem so similar to that Jiang Jun? Although one is writing and the other is sharpening knives, the symptoms of the two are different, but the other details are almost the same, they can't wake up, they all get up in the morning and don't remember the events of the night, they all go to the hospital and can't see the problem, and they are also looking for someone who can not see the problem...... "Uncle, are you sure he got the knife because he did it?" Not because of a move or something? ”

"Moving? I haven't heard of ......" Zhang Guoyi shook his head, "He himself said it was because of the knife, you have to ask him ...... specifically"

"Interesting...... Zhang Yicheng smiled, and said in his heart that this time, it won't be as fucking as coincidental as the last catastrophe, could it be that his baby uncle is also like Fang Shu'an (2) in "White Eyebrows", he is a legendary "lucky general", every time he or his father Zhang Guozhong catches the blind, he can find clues through him?

It was already past ten o'clock when the car stopped at the door of Feng Xiangjing's house, and it was Feng Xiangjing himself who opened the door, and it seemed that the legendary beautiful daughter-in-law who was picked up cheaply had already slept. In Zhang Guoyi's mouth, Feng Xiangjing is a rough person, one has no culture and two tastes, and he is a standard nouveau riche. But in Zhang Yicheng's view, this person is polite and pleasant, although there is indeed a little bit of local flavor of peasant entrepreneurs in his speech and demeanor, but in general, the temperament is quite reasonable, compared with the old man Zhang Guoyi seems to be closer to the standard of nouveau riche.

"The third child! This is the eldest nephew I mentioned to you! The matter of Ou Jinyang's family was settled by him! After sitting down, the first thing Zhang Guoyi did was to talk about Zhang Yicheng's performance in Ou Jinyang's house, it seems that this material of the Ou family may have been blown by this Zhang Guoyi outside many times, "Don't look at his young age, just those masters and half-immortals you invited, it's really not a little worse than him!" ”

"Oh......" Feng Xiangjing looked at Zhang Yicheng vigorously and nodded incessantly, "I don't know about this little hero...... What do you call it? ”

"Just call the eldest nephew! Also a little hero! Which dynasty is ...... called? Zhang Guoyi smiled, "Yicheng, call Sanbo!" ”

"Sanbo!" Zhang Yicheng stood up and bowed respectfully, saying in his heart that if the speed of recognizing relatives continues, maybe the number of relatives will exceed the three uncles in Li Village within three years, "My name is Zhang Yicheng, just call me Yicheng!" ”

"Yicheng, I don't know if you have heard your uncle mention it......" At this time, Feng Xiangjing seemed to have just gotten up, and yawned while talking, "Your third uncle is about to be tossed into a nervous disorder now, and the family doesn't look like a life, do you see if you have a way to show it?" If you can be optimistic......" Halfway through speaking, Feng Xiangjing suddenly stood up and pulled Zhang Yicheng into the back room, "Look, you can pick these at will!" ”

As Feng Xiangjing reached out and pressed the light switch on the wall, a knife collection room that could only be described as an exaggeration almost blinded Zhang Yicheng's dog eyes; To be honest, I heard Zhang Guoyi's cloudy mountain fog cover say that Feng Xiangjing's family has collected a lot of famous swords and swords, and he doesn't have any specific concepts, in his imagination, it is nothing more than putting a few decent guys on the desk, and the rest are put in boxes and cabinets, after all, they are all valuable guys, and they are not conducive to anti-theft. And now Feng Xiangjing's collection room, but it is completely different from what he imagined, the whole collection room is like a cold weapons museum open to the outside world, the four walls are covered with quite professional brackets with glass covers, and professional spotlights are installed above each glass cover, all swords are all close-range exposure exhibitions, and most of the swords in the glass cover are Western goods without scabbards, not only different lengths and shapes, but also meticulously crafted and ingenious in the production process, such a room of naked knives and naked swords, With the stage and spotlight effects, any man will probably have a feeling of instant brain congestion.

"Third uncle, your collection is not bad...... Zhang Yicheng walked into the collection room slowly, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and his two eyes didn't know where to look.

"Hehe, so-so......" Hearing Zhang Yicheng's praise, Feng Xiangjing immediately looked proud, as if he had forgotten why he had the problem of sharpening knives.

"Uncle San, where's your Japanese sword?" Zhang Yicheng took out the compass and walked around the house, by the way, the collection in the room was roughly looked at, it seems that they are all Western swords, although they look more dazzling at first glance when they first enter the house, but when they look closely, they are almost all modern industrial products, although they are all famous knives, but none of them can enter Zhang Yicheng's "magic eye", I have seen real guys such as Juque Seven Stars, where can I still see these mass production goods?

"I'll get it for you!" As he spoke, Feng Xiangjing walked over to a low cabinet, opened the door and took out a long wooden box. Open the wooden box, only to see a carved simple Dongyang scimitar lying in it, from the shape of the knife, and the traditional Japanese knife is very different, first of all, there is no "hand guard", the whole knife from the beginning to the end of the same Qi, if you do not look at the gap between the handle and the scabbard, you can't even tell the handle and the sheath there; Secondly, the width of the knife is narrower than that of traditional Japanese swords, whether it is a Chinese sword or a Japanese sword, the scabbard should be flat, and the scabbard of this knife is exactly the same as the material of the handle, and it is close to the cylinder, that is to say, the cross-section of the scabbard is basically round, if it is not for the curvature of the blade, it is not even a knife.

Pull out the knife out of the sheath, Zhang Yicheng was also stunned, the length of this knife is about seventy or eighty centimeters, although the handle looks a little old, but the blade is still cold and shining like a new cast, the metal gives people a feeling completely different from those modern Western swords around, the cold light flashes the edge is covered with different shapes of metal textures, with a finger flick, the sound is extremely crisp, just by the sound can be judged that it is not an ordinary object, in addition to the place near the handle of the knife there are some messy patterns, In addition to some round goo Qiu Qiu does not know what the pattern is, there are also a few Japanese characters engraved, Zhang Yicheng does not understand Japanese, only knows one of the inscriptions similar to the traditional Chinese character "bird", although he does not know much about the history of Japanese swords, but judging from the new and old degree of the handle, the history of this knife has to have six or seven hundred years without a thousand years, and although the material and color of the scabbard are the same as the handle, the color is much newer, and it is obviously matched after modern times.

"Third uncle, this knife doesn't seem to have been sharpened......" Touching the edge of the knife, Zhang Yicheng looked at it carefully for a long time, and there was no sign of sharpening.

"Of course I haven't sharpened it, this is an ancient knife, I'm looking at it, why am I sharpening it?" Feng Xiangjing was stunned.

"Then you sharpened your knife ...... not long ago"

"Oh! That's a long story! The knife I sharpened, I hit it myself! According to Feng Xiangjing's words, he was crazy obsessed with knives before, and even wanted to play with the ticket to cast a knife by himself, and had an addiction to Ou Yezi (3), so he also built a small blast furnace and bought a batch of earthen equipment for casting knives and swords. Seeing that the matter of casting knives was not fun, Feng Xiangjing simply gave up his efforts and turned his grief and anger into strength, and returned to the old way of collecting spot at a high price, but this four dislikes that have been beaten out, although it is useless, but after all, it is the fruit of his own labor, so he has not thrown it away. The knife that I sharpened and sharpened not long ago is the four-unlike work that I fought before.

"Oh......" Zhang Yicheng nodded and began to ask the others, "Third Uncle, when you bought this knife, did the person who sold the knife say the origin of this knife?" ”

"That's it! Said it was his family's ancestral! Feng Xiangjing said.

"Ancestral?" Zhang Yicheng smiled, "You received this knife from Japan?" ”

"No, I received it from Cangzhou!" Feng Xiangjing was stunned, "Why didn't your uncle tell you?" ”

"This is a Japanese sword, why did it go to Cangzhou?" Zhang Yicheng smiled, took the knife in his hand and played it twice, it was not bad, and the weight was quite handy, "Could it be that his ancestors are Japanese?" ”

"This ...... I don't know about this......" Feng Xiangjing shook his head, "Maybe it was given to his ancestors by the Japanese in ancient times, right?" ”

According to Feng Xiangjing's recollections, the person who sold the knife was called Wang Yadong, a friend of one of his customers, who had lost all his money by speculating in stocks not long ago, and was ready to sell the house to pay off his debts. Since suffering from this knife grinding disease, Feng Xiangjing also looked for Wang Yadong and wanted to inquire about the origin of the knife in detail, but the answer he got was the same as before, ancestral, when it was passed down, and Wang Yadong couldn't say why.

"Why didn't my ancestors meet such a generous Japanese......" Zhang Yicheng was also happy, it seems that this Feng Xiangjing is quite easy to fool, Chinese ancestors passed on a Japanese knife, which is originally an inexplicable thing, and people who sell knives are vague, and your old man made it up for others......

"Second uncle, have you moved recently?" Zhang Yicheng asked.

"No......" Feng Xiangjing shook his head, "I've been living in this house for several years now......"

"That's weird......" frowned, "shouldn't it be......"

"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Yicheng say this, Feng Xiangjing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Big nephew, what did you say?" ”

"I said it shouldn't!" Zhang Yicheng checked the Japanese sword in his hand, "Uncle San, let me tell you, this Japanese knife is different from your other collections, in my experience, this is a treasure knife, and it can be used as a magic weapon!" The sword is meant to ward off evil spirits (4), and a handicraft knife in the house can be used to calm the house, and the real knife and real gun that you have opened the blade in this room, plus this treasure knife that can be used as a magic weapon, it is too late for demons and monsters to hide, let alone make waves......"

"That's right! Right! I asked a Hong Kong master to say the same! Hearing Zhang Yicheng say this, Feng Xiangjing's eyes suddenly widened, "The young man is promising!" What a teenager! ”

"Third uncle, you have won the award...... Zhang Yicheng was also stunned, and said in his heart, how could he pull out a Hong Kong master again, it is common sense to ward off evil spirits with a sword, how did this become a young man?

"By the way, I've heard that Japanese people love to commit suicide, is it possible that in ancient times, Japanese people used this knife to commit suicide, so they brought ghosts here?" Zhang Guoyi also began to guess.

"Oh, uncle, I said it all, this knife is a magic weapon! It's too late for the little ghosts and monsters to hide, just like the police and the thief, have you ever seen a thief who chases the police all day long? Zhang Yicheng frowned and said, "In my opinion, this knife is no problem!" ”

"Yes! Hong Kong masters say the same! Feng Xiangjing nodded vigorously, "The young man is promising!" ”

"Three uncles...... I ...... "Zhang Yicheng was about to cry, and said in his heart that it would be good if there was a problem with this knife, and if there was no problem, it would be a big problem......

"The eldest nephew, the ancients, the sword is a hero! Now that the two of us are meeting for the first time, the third uncle has nothing to give you, don't you say that this knife is a treasure knife? I've got you! Feng Xiangjing slapped his chest with a bang.

"Don't thank you Sanbo!" Zhang Guoyi also followed suit.

"This ......" To be honest, Zhang Yicheng really likes this Japanese knife, but if you take people's money, you have to eliminate disasters for others, according to Feng Xiangjing's previous promise, this knife will be sent after the disease is cured, and now I have no way to start with the strange problem of sharpening the knife, so I don't do anything to take other people's things first, if I can't solve other people's problems in the future, let alone I can't explain to Zhang Guoyi, and I can't hang it on my face......

Note:

Military stab: that is, bayonet, also known as gun stabbing, is an assassination cold weapon mounted on the front end of a single soldier's long-barreled firearm (such as rifle and assault rifle). Fang Shu'an: The characters in Shan Tianfang's "White Eyebrows", whenever they encounter a crisis, they can always turn evil into good fortune and get a blessing in disguise, and they are one of the most successful "lucky general" characters in Shan Tianfang's works. Ou Yezi: From the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period, the Yue people. The originator of ancient Chinese sword casting, the first casting and smelting craftsman in history to discover the difference between the properties of copper and iron, and cast China's first iron sword: "Longyuan", creating a precedent for China's cold weapons. The principle of warding off evil spirits of the sword: traditional feng shui believes that everything with edges and corners will produce "evil qi", the sharper the edges and corners, the stronger the evil qi, and the "edge" of weapons such as knives, swords, axes, bows and arrows can be said to be a hundred times sharper than the edges and corners of the table and the corners of the wall, and the evil qi is naturally much larger; The Maoshan technique believes that evil qi and yang qi are important elements to deter resentment, and the reason why the masters of the Taoist sect in the past dynasties have used famous swords and swords as weapons and magic weapons is also based on this principle. In between, in the folk, the sword and sword have always been the top grade of the town house to drive away evil spirits, but it is also limited to the "craft sword" or peach wood sword, mountain axe and other craft weapons that have not been opened, and the weapons that have really opened the blade or even killed are not suitable for the use of the town, this kind of weapon is too strong, although the effect of driving away the town is better, but too strong evil will also have an adverse effect on people's health.
