Chapter 38: Sword Examination (2)
He held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his whole temperament suddenly changed dramatically. Before, he looked amiable, talking and laughing, no different from an ordinary young man, but this sword, a strong and majestic momentum spontaneously emerged.
In the face of this powerful momentum, ordinary people will involuntarily feel humble and timid, Zhang Siwu now feels that Pang Shiyuan with a long sword is very dangerous, which makes him have the urge to turn around and run.
Of course, Zhang Siwu will not run. Instead of running, he looked at Pang Shiyuan with bright eyes. That feeling is like a man who has been ** for countless years and sees a beautiful woman who has stripped naked, and he is hungry.
His bright eyes lit up, and his mouth couldn't help but mutter: "Yes, that's how it feels, this is the real swordsman!" Master, master! β
Although Pang Shiyuan has admitted on the Internet that he is a martial arts master, the long-term distrust of modern people still makes Zhang Siwu have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Now, seeing the momentum of Pang Shiyuan's sword, this last trace of doubt has also disappeared.
Zhang Siwu felt that the future was promising!
Pang Shiyuan didn't care about Zhang Siwu's distraction, he first quietly felt the feeling of holding the sword, and made sure that the handle of the Han sword without the handle was still a little worse in hand. But that's not the point, after all, after wrapping the thread, it feels like you can find it naturally.
As soon as the sword was drawn in his right hand, there was a slight sound of "clang", and the long sword suddenly came out of his body, and a silver-white light suddenly flashed in front of him. However, this silvery-white brilliance quickly disappeared as if it suddenly appeared, returning to the ordinary eight-sided Han sword blade.
Pang Shiyuan crossed the sword in front of him, carefully observing the sword patterns on the sword body. The sword pattern of a sword can reflect the material and craftsmanship of the sword to a large extent.
Although Pang Shiyuan is not a sword-making master, he also has several years of experience in using swords, and he can still see some good or bad swords.
A swordsman who doesn't know his sword is definitely not a wise choice.
However, since Zhang Siwu dared to bring the sword in front of him, the quality of this sword should not be a problem. In fact, the craftsmanship of this sword cannot be faulted with his eyes.
Since you can't see anything wrong, listen to it.
The long sword stood upright, and Pang Shiyuan flicked his finger on the sword. After a crisp sound, the body of the long sword began to tremble, and then there was a small trembling sound.
Listening to the sword has always been rumored to be a god, and there are even many related film and television novels for this reason, but in fact, listening to the sword is not as tall as people think.
A true swordsman, a skilled swordsmith, or even a martial arts master with good enough ear power can tell if there is a flaw in the blade from the trembling sound of a sword. If there is a flaw, the trembling sound of the sword will be mixed with a discordant noise. On the contrary, the trembling sound will be crisp and melodious.
Of course, this is not a small requirement for the ears of the person who listens to the sword, and ordinary people actually sound like nothing different.
It just so happens that Pang Shiyuan is not an ordinary person. He has several years of experience in using swords in the dream world, and in reality, he also has internal strength to strengthen his ear power, so it is naturally easy to listen to swords.
The trembling sound of the eight-faced Han Sword was very low, but it was very clear in Pang Shiyuan's ears, although there was a slight noise, it could also be called crisp and melodious.
Pang Shiyuan couldn't help but nodded, feeling that this sword met his requirements. In the dream world, the craftsmanship of his saber is only at this level.
Zhang Siwu was very confident in his uncle, and it was with his uncle's excellent sword-making skills that he was able to gain a firm foothold in Jianquan City. But watching Pang Shiyuan test the performance of the sword step by step, his heart was still inevitably nervous.
Uncle's sword is good, but it is only for ordinary people, and it has never been used by real martial arts masters with internal strength.
Therefore, his heart was naturally a little bottomless, and his eyes were staring at Pang Shiyuan, waiting for his judgment.
Finally, Pang Shiyuan nodded with satisfaction, and Zhang Siwu suddenly let go of the burden in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
With the affirmation of Pang Shiyuan, a real master, Zhang Siwu's confidence in his sword suddenly increased by several grades.
There was no problem with the craftsmanship of the sword, and Pang Shiyuan began to test the practicality.
Pang Shiyuan straightened his long sword, and then retracted it, followed by a sudden sharp stab. The long sword stabbed out suddenly with Pang Shiyuan's sharp stabbing action, and stopped in an instant.
Pang Shiyuan's hand was very steady, without the slightest tremble, and the sword in his hand was also very steady, and the tip of the sword did not tremble in the slightest.
Han Jian is a hard sword, which is not suitable for bending, and it is common for the tip of the sword to not shake. But the Han sword he asked for was a bit long, and the long sword had high requirements for craftsmanship, so he had to test it.
Then, he tried the basic moves of the longsword one by one, and finally put down the longsword satisfied.
Zhang Siwu couldn't wait at this time, and asked urgently: "Shiyuan, how is the long sword, is it okay?" β
As soon as Pang Shiyuan backhanded, the long sword returned to the scabbard, and there was no aiming at all during the period, but the tip of the long sword was so accurate that it found the mouth of the scabbard incredibly, and returned to the scabbard without any extra sound.
Just this hand, Zhang Siwu was so envious that he drooled.
As the owner of the cold weapon shop pΓΉ, he has been playing with cold weapons for many years, but he definitely doesn't dare to let the long sword back into its sheath without looking at it like Pang Shiyuan.
If he dares to do so, the only end will be to cut his own hand.
Pang Shiyuancai ignored Zhang Siwu's salivating expression, and said affirmatively: "It's a good sword." How much, I wanted. β
Zhang Siwu said solemnly: "This sword is my uncle's collection, in fact, he didn't even think about selling it when he forged it back then. After all, the sword was too long and heavy for ordinary people to use. However, since it was my nephew who asked for it with a dead face, he finally did not resist and gave it to me. So, I didn't spend money on this sword at all, and I'm not going to ask you for money. β
When Pang Shiyuan heard this, he put the sword in his hand into the sword box without hesitation, and said, "This can't work. Friendship is friendship, business is business. I can't take advantage of you. Lao Zhang, you will open a price, and you must open the price according to the market, otherwise I would rather not buy it. β
"I knew you were going to react this way." Regarding Pang Shiyuan's refusal, Zhang Siwu also seemed to have expected it and did not feel strange.
Although they have only occasionally chatted on the Internet over the years, they have also made them quite familiar with each other. In his impression, Pang Shiyuan is a principled person. He disdains to do things like taking advantage of small things.
"When I say I don't want money, I don't really want money. I'm actually trying to bribe-bribe you! Zhang Siwu finally said what he thought.
"Bribe-bribe? I have something for you to figure here, haven't I already promised to teach you martial arts? Do you want to apprentice? Pang Shiyuan seemed to be the only reason he could guess.
"I think, but unfortunately you won't agree." Zhang Siwu was a little unwilling, but he also admitted it, "I actually want to do a business with Shiyuan." β
Pang Shiyuan was confused when he heard it, he really didn't know what business he could do with Zhang Siwu.
