Chapter 80: A Week in Japan (3)
Once you enter this weapon shop, you will see Japanese-style armor, each piece of armor is extremely exquisite, and has a different style and charm.
But Fang Xin was not interested in this thing.
His eyes looked at the knife, every knife here was exquisite and detailed, almost becoming an art treasure, he couldn't help frowning, he felt that the quality of this knife was not very good, his expression showed it, and Xiao Bing said: "It doesn't seem to be very good!" ”
"Two from the Empire?" An old man in his forties and fifties listened, bowed, and spoke in proficient Chinese, and I have to say that many people in Japan know Chinese characters, and it has become popular for almost a long time.
"Yes, tourism." Fang Xin replied briefly.
"If you two want to take care of the goods, please go inside." The old man said with a smile, he was very keenly aware that the two young girls were not ordinary people.
"I'm just coming to see and maybe buy the right one." Fang Xin said.
The old man didn't care, and led the two of them inside, and when they got inside, Fang Xin only glanced at it, and knew that the goods inside were indeed not comparable to the outside.
While watching, the old man introduced, of course, the Japanese sword, improved by the Tang Dynasty knife, but after a thousand years, it has long been improved, according to the shape, size of the knife, the knife, the waki, the short knife and so on.
Wakicha, refers to a knife with a length of more than 30 centimeters, but less than 60 inches, it is said that it is often used for suicide, Fang Xin certainly has no interest, as for the short knife, the length is less than 30 centimeters. In Fang Xin's opinion, this is almost equivalent to a dagger, and he has no interest.
Therefore, the long knife was quickly noticed.
Japanese long swords, since ancient times, as a weapon, at the same time, are known for their beautiful shapes, many famous swords contain the meaning of the soul of the samurai, this is not the so-called symbol, many patterns and marks, are really powerful. Fang Xin listened and picked it up. All of this amazed Fang Xin - these cold and sharp lights fascinated him.
These knives are definitely not just decorations, the sharp and chilling blades all prove that they are murderous weapons.
Fang Xin read it, but he didn't take it, he now understands that the Japanese sword outside the first floor. It is produced in large quantities as trade goods and even souvenirs purchased by tourists, and although the quality is good, it is also shoddy.
Inside, the quality and craftsmanship are good, but it is far from being a real boutique, so he said, "I don't know if there is a better one?" ”
The old man hesitated a little, and Xiao Bing said, "If there are any masterpieces, just take them out." I believe we can still afford it. ”
The old man said with a wry smile: "It's not this, the government stipulates that master works can only be purchased by professionals with kendo titles in China, and must be police and soldiers, as well as professional swordsmen can wear knives. ”
"It doesn't matter. You swipe a card and take a look. Xiao Bing said indifferently.
The old man glanced at her, took the card, and with a swipe, the basic information was displayed. He was immediately taken aback. said: "It turns out that you are an imperial noble, of course you have the right to buy the works of our local masters." ”
said. Respectfully returned the card, this time, Fang Xin just felt ridiculous and pathetic, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.
This old man, after knowing Xiao Bing's identity, immediately changed his attitude and became more deferential and courteous: "Two distinguished guests, this store does have some master's works, please come back to the room to talk." ”
Following the shopkeeper in, there was not much time, and several Japanese samurai wearing samurai robes came in, holding sword boxes in their hands, almost all of them were made of teak, and there were some special symbols on them, Fang Xin was a little surprised, because he felt that the symbols were really powerful.
Fang Xin glanced at it, it was nothing more than a second-order swordsman, and it was not too cold.
The old man respectfully saluted to a shrine in the room, Shang Xiang, Xiao Bing and Fang Xin both frowned, she and he both felt a cold chill coming out of the shrine, as if looking at the room coldly.
"This is the god of weapons in Japan." Xiao Bing seemed to recognize it, and whispered, not calling it by name.
"Oh, I see. After offering incense, the old man opened these sword boxes one by one, a total of six.
Once opened, the cold air on the sword penetrated straight out of the room, and Fang Xin looked at it, and found that almost all of the handles had mysterious patterns and charms.
These patterns and charms, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, are just decorations, but in Fang Xin's eyes, there is no doubt that these carry some power.
However, these forces are all cold, and some even have a dark aura.
"These knives, although they are good, are just made by divine power." Xiao Bing said: "Once it is stained with blood, it will attract the attention of the presence of the carved symbols and establish a connection. ”
"yes, so it's not for me." Fang Xin regretfully gave up, and he picked up the last one.
This long knife is relatively simple, there are only simple cherry blossoms on the knife, and nothing else, but it is also cold, competing with the other five knives, but after all, it has been suppressed, but as soon as it is in the hand, the emotions condensed in the sword are actually transmitted in.
That's regret, that's favor, that's nostalgia, that's trance.
In an instant, what I remember is happiness, and at that moment, it was as if I had gone back in time and the flowers were in full bloom. Tenderness and touching, longing and sweetness, it turns out that it is just the first time to meet. The tide is born and the tide is gone, the vicissitudes of life, the world has changed, and all the good things have become deep regrets.
"This honorable gentleman, your vision is really good, this is the only master in the master's works of this store who does not rely on himself without strength." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "It's one of Okamoto's top works. ”
"I see, is Master Shinichi Okamoto still there?" Fang Xin woke up and asked.
"It's gone, it's his last work."
"Understood, this sword is quite tasteful, I bought it, how much does it cost?" Fang Xin stroked the sword body, as if he felt something, this regret condensed in the sword made his heart move.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand imperial dollars!" The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, this sword, many people believe, this is an unfinished half-work, and it has been placed here for three years.
"Bought it, give me a room, I'm going to make some preparations." Fang Xin said, turned to Xiao Bing and said, "Ah Bing, you can wait a while." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" It's not surprising that many people have a little ritual when they first match their swords.
Chose a room, opened the door and entered, the spiritual sense was directed, there was indeed no such thing as a photograph, and he sat down quietly at the moment, in this sword, with the belief of the creator, this belief really made Fang Xin feel.
Kneeling and sitting, just thinking, his previous memories became clear one by one.
Many, many regrets are just the evolution after the encounter, such as the first time we met, everything was beautiful, because that was longing, that was hope.
Maybe the maker just misses the simplicity of the past, and injects strong regret and reminiscence, but for the other party's letter, countless feelings are recalled one by one.
The world is unforgiving, and everything that is good will take place incredible changes.
It didn't seem to be much of a call, and the holy light of the Houtu, and the light of merit, emerged almost at the same time, and this holy light was not dazzling, but like two points of flame, sprinkled all over the sword, but not a single one, and it did not leak outward.
This time, the light of merit is guided, and the light of the earth is the wing, this regretful feeling is the core, but it is slowly purified, and then there is a bright light on the sword, as if someone is writing in the air, and a line of words is described.
"Life should only be as it first sees"
It was carved on the body of the sword, and then, after the earth was reborn, the word word floated in the air, and gradually entered the knife, and inadvertently, a famous sword was born again.
In fact, it was only for a moment, Fang Xin got up, put the sword into the sheath, and hung it on his waist like this.
went out, Xiao Bing had already paid, and when he saw him come out, he smiled, and the two went out like this, at this time, it was already half past four in the afternoon, but the summer was long, and the sunset was still high.
Although the two of them are not invaded by cold and heat, but in this weather, they are still ready to eat some refreshments first, there is this kind of ice fruit, this ice fruit, is a real ice fruit, made of fresh fruit, cut into pieces, add some condiments inside, plus ice cubes, so eat it, it feels cold and abnormal, and most importantly, for many people, eating this will not be fat, it is very easy to digest, and it is rich in nutrients and vitamins. Opposite, is a small ice fruit shop, the owner knows how to operate, she in the store's huge freezer, put cantaloupe, watermelon, loquat, peach, cherry, lychee and the like, and even some special fruits in this world, wait for the guests to order, and then make ice fruit tea.
Both of them wore ornate kimonos, and even Fang Xin was armed with a sword, and in Japan, according to the decree of a hundred and sixteen years ago, the official sword was equipped with a person with a martial arts title, as well as a police officer and a soldier, as well as a nobleman.
Fang Xin was equipped with this sword, it was really heroic, attracting the attention of the guests, and the two of them didn't care, they ordered a cantaloupe iced fruit tea, the boss immediately took it out, cut off a slice, then cut it into small pieces, put it in a cup, poured a cool drink, put ice on it, and sent it over.
