After a long time ...

"Your Excellency... ”

The drama is over...

Chen Jinzhi waved his hand and retreated from Fallen Yujun.

Now, this hall is really terrifyingly quiet.

There was not a single sound, but it was as if the sound of even a speck of dust falling could be heard clearly.

Chen Jinzhi stood up. The human butcher's knife trembled slightly, but it was still in a state suspended in mid-air, following behind Chen Jinzhi.

The pitch-black and massive blade shone with a hard and cold cold light.

Probably Chen Jinzhi felt that holding a knife like this was easier than dragging this heavy five-foot wild knife with his hands.

He didn't wear boots.

The socks on his feet were long, ankle-length, and rustling on the soft gray cashmere carpet.

The gown is also very long, and the cuffs are wide, hanging down more than a foot.

The long hair was just tied up at the end very casually, but there was a strand of gray hair, still.

"Ahem, ahem... ”

There was a faint blush on the handkerchief.

Looking back suddenly, I remembered that the elegant embroidery on this handkerchief was made by Yu Ying.

Since Chen Jinzhi lived in such a remote place.

Feather Nettle just didn't come much.

It's not that the former didn't want to come, but Yu Yu didn't let her come.

Yes, it is not safe for girls to walk alone at night.

It's a far-fetched reason.

"Alas... ”

I don't know what Chen Jinzhi is sighing about.

Because coughing up blood ...

Old injuries come back, and then they come back. This, he has become commonplace, it doesn't matter.

The pace is not too rushed.

However, he has already stepped into the other side of this hall, and this side can be regarded as displaying his personal collection.

It's all kinds of knives

Short knives, one inch short and one inch dangerous, there are very few.

Long knives, or more like swords, also have several.

Throwing knives, unsheathed, but there are some.

Taitoshi and Notai are the most.

Looking at it, it was like planting seedlings, and it wasn't Chen Jinzhi who used any technique to make these Taidao and Ye Taidao also suspended in mid-air like the butcher's knife of the person behind him.

It's like a long corridor, and for some reason, Chen Jinzhi always feels a lot of emotion when he walks here.

In front of him, there was a long knife with three eyes painted on its scabbard. One is calm as water, one is angry, and one is confined. For some reason, the long knife used by the three-eyed knife before his death, Chen Jinzhi always had a feeling when he looked at it again.

I can't tell what it feels like.

Just talking about those three strange eyes, it looks like bells and whistles, but look at it, look at it again. It seems that something abruptly gave birth to something in my heart, and I can only say that it is a little difficult to explain.

This long knife.

Chen Jinzhi can be regarded as understanding. The name of the knife - the three eyes of the soul. That is, the Three-Eyed Knife of Soul Wounding.

About fifty or sixty years ago, it was cast by an unknown master, and it can be regarded as a great master. The blade is made of a type of stone called a gravel, not metal. The same is true of the scabbard, so it is said that the three eyes are the natural pattern of the stone, not deliberately painted.

Laughed it off.

Although he knew that there must be some story about this soul-wounding three-eyed knife, Chen Jinzhi didn't want to delve into it.

Further on, there are knives.

The most eldest of the Tai Dao is known as the Wild Tai Knife.

Able to wield the Wild Sword, wander among thousands of armies, and sweep thousands of people. This is probably every man's dream.

But the reality is skinny.

There are very few people with such strength.

The wild knife is often just a knife, and it can cut everyone to pieces, either dead or maimed.

Therefore, it has become one of the best ways to show off force.

There are many people who use the ether knife and the wild sword as weapons. But in Chen Jinzhi's view. Most of these people are just wielding them with brute force.

Just like the owner of the three wild swords in front of him.

The sword body is full of flames, and it is very majestic.

The form of these three wild swords is almost identical.

First, the name of the knife - Chiyan.

Second, the name of the knife - sleeping fire.

Third, the name of the knife - Flame Shadow.

Their masters were a small sect in the north that specialized in the art of fire control, the Yan Sect, and the three closed disciples of the sect master, the old man Yaohuo.

For this matter, Chen Jinzhi was chased and killed for a few months by the old man Yaohuo who had cultivated to the half-step king rank.

Of course, whether it is this Yan Sect or this Yao Huo Old Man, this fire control technique is far worse than Qin Xuan of the Qinghe Qin Clan.

Chen Jinzhi did not stop his pace.

Further on, there is a famous knife.

It's not a wild knife, it's less than three feet long, so it's a small knife.

The name of the knife - a thousand plackets.

It's a paper knife.

Completely forged from paper. Extremely sharp.

It is said that there was once a teacher who was a recluse, and he forged a thousand knives with his hands.

This thousand knives are probably hundreds of years old. The reason why it is famous is a long story.

It is rumored that someone once armed with a thousand knives fought 300 rounds with Jiang Feiyang, the general of the last emperor, and beheaded the latter in Linchui Mountain.

After many years, it finally fell into the hands of Chen Jinzhi.

"It's so fragile ... ”

Chen Jinzhi didn't seem to like this thousand sword. However, it is also true that the Thousand Blades have not even reached the level of a large weapon.

After that, it was mostly mediocre.

Until the end, Chen Jinzhi suddenly stopped and picked up the crystal clear sword-Absolute Knife.

One long and one short, at this time it was lying quietly in his hands.

"Alas... ”

This sigh is even more depressing.

"Ahem, ahem... ”

Hastily covered his mouth. Is this the knot in the heart?

Not sure why.

Chen Jinzhi always dreams.

Chen Jianwen's body turned to ashes under his own dark flames.

Correct.

They often sit up in shock and have no sleep all night.

Chen Jianwen's face seemed to be shattered in front of him, that was - torture from conscience!

I often always think of the child named Chen Fuhai.

Floating sea, floating sea...

It's also a response to this name.,Life ups and downs.。。。

Chen Jinzhi is even more guilty...

At that time, I may not be able to face it, let alone how to face the child, and the mother of that child...

And so they went ...

I don't know if it's life or death...

Postscript:

One

The information about the Taidao is for your reference, and there are inevitably errors in the above.

A scimitar with a large curvature and a blade length of more than 3 feet (1 m) and less than 5 feet (about 1.5 m). Among them, those under 3 feet are called small knives, and those above 5 feet are called large knives (or wild knives). One foot is about 29 centimeters in Japan, similar to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China.

Japanese Taito.

The etymology of the Japanese pronunciation of "たち" is generally believed to come from the homonym of the Japanese word "cut". However, according to archaeological findings and treasures left behind by Shosoin, "Taidao" was also pronounced as "たち" at that time. After the Tang sword was introduced to Japan, it gradually evolved into the Japanese sword of later generations, but the sword relics unearthed in Japan show that the Japanese sword seems to be more closely related to the Han Dynasty ring head sword.

The latter part of the Heian period in Japan is known as the Taidao period, especially during the "First Nine Years' War" and the "Last Three Years' War", when the samurai were most active, and the samurai clan increased in power, and the Japanese sword developed greatly. For example, in the province of Hakuki and Bizen, which produce high-quality iron ore, as well as the Yamashiro Province and Yamato Province, which were the centers of politics and culture, there were different schools of knife work, and the Japanese swords at this time were mainly used for immediate decisive battles, so most of them were swords. Representative works of this period include the "Toko Kiri" (the Anzuna system of the Hakuki Province, a national treasure of Japan), which was beheaded by Yorimitsu Minamoto in Oeyama, and the "Kokomaru" (Sanjo Sunejin system of Yamashiro Province, which was destroyed during World War II) that is said to have been built with the help of foxes. In addition to Yasuna, Sanjo Koye Sokon in Yamashiro (present-day Kyoto) and Tomonari Kobizen are considered to be the oldest existing works with the names of the makers inscribed.

Chinese Taidao.

"Tang Law Shu Yi" volume eight guards forbidden law "All the guards must not be far away from the battle" [Shu] discussion said: Those who fight are often said to have horizontal knives; Its armor, bows, arrows, etc., sometimes those who should be attached to it are not allowed to go away. When staying in the guard, "the horizontal knife is often brought", so Gaozong said to Wang Jishan, who was the general of Qianniuwei: "Others can't go to the place unless they search for it, and the big horizontal knife is on my side." It can be seen that the horizontal sword is the main battle of the officers and soldiers of the guard. The shape of the horizontal knife is the same as that of the Tai knife. The soldiers of the government soldiers brought their own horizontal knives, and the guards often wore horizontal knives, and the Tang horizontal knives were commonly worn by the soldiers. The horizontal knife, which was originally transmitted to Japan, was a straight knife, and was gradually changed by the Japanese to a curved knife shape with a curve, and the current Japanese knife is a curved knife-shaped horizontal knife with a curve on the knife body, which is now called the "Tang sword". The horizontal knife, for the two-handed knife, is the Han Dynasty on the basis of the "ring head knife" to improve and develop, remove the common in the Han Dynasty knife handle tail ring, and extend the short handle to change to a long handle that can be used by both hands, so that it can be used by both hands of the narrow blade thick ridge of the long straight knife, the basic shape and the current "Japanese knife" is very similar, but the Tang Dynasty horizontal knife body and blade are basically straight, unlike the current common "Japanese knife" is bent with an arc, the shape of the Tang Dynasty horizontal knife is a straight knife shape. It can be said that the shape of the current "Japanese sword" is generally modeled after the "horizontal sword" style of the Tang Dynasty in China, and on this basis, it is improved to make the blade have a certain arc and is more suitable for chopping. The forging technology of the horizontal knife was extremely advanced in the world at that time, and the forged blade was extremely sharp, and it was used for both foot and horse, but it must be pointed out that as a composite steel knife, the production process of the Tang horizontal knife was very complicated: it was forged from two kinds of three pieces of iron billet, so that the blade was rigid and soft, and the iron was sharpened like mud, so the cost was naturally quite high, which affected the popularity of this kind of knife (it is estimated that this is also the reason for the loss). The technology of making horizontal knives was later learned and improved by Japan, which gradually met the needs of Japan's war and reduced production costs, thus achieving the reputation of Japanese swords in later generations. However, this does not mean that the Japanese sword or the Tang Dadao is more sophisticated, in fact, the design of the two is fundamentally different, and to clarify this, it is necessary to start with the production of armor. At that time, the standard equipment of Japanese soldiers was a kind of rattan armor (Japan was scarce, and it was impossible for everyone to be equipped with iron armor, so rattan armor was used as a supplement to make it have the basic defense against bows and arrows, but it could not achieve the effective defense of iron armor against knife slashing and spear stabbing), so the design purpose of the Japanese sword was to be able to cut the rattan armor as the advantage, so it was not necessary to cut iron like mud like Tang knives, but it was more practical to cut meat like mud; The standard equipment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was iron armor (you can refer to the Mingguang armor), and it was difficult for ordinary swords to penetrate the iron armor, so the design of the Tang knife was better to sharpen iron like mud. Therefore, there is no distinction between the two in itself, but only to meet the needs of their respective wars, and to a certain extent, they are equally excellent, and they are both products that condense the wisdom and creativity of their own nations. Finally, about the end of the Tang knife, that is, everyone quickly found that a sharpened iron like clay, well-made broadsword, far from a weapon with rough workmanship, but a larger mass (such as sledgehammer, tomahawk, Mo knife), has more armor-piercing ability (for cold weapons as a momentum weapon, when the attack energy is the same, the greater the momentum, the greater the damage, that is, the greater the mass, the greater the damage), so the expensive Tang knife has embarked on the end of history and has never been able to come back.

Structural features.

One of the differences between the sword and the sword is that it has two metal rings on the scabbard (called "pure gold": the one near the sheath is called "one leg" and the other is called "two legs") and the other is woven with ribbons to make it easy to carry. The ribbon is connected to the pure gold object by a small piece of metal (called the "leather gold object"). The head of the scabbard is encased in metal (known as the "stone protrusion"). When drawing a knife, it is necessary to press down on the strip of metal at the edge of the scabbard (called "mouth gold"). In the early days, the sword was used as a cavalry sword, and it was basically single-handed. According to the common method of warfare during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the samurai at that time were proud of their extraordinary strength, and it was precisely the characteristics of the sword used as one-handed. The curved shape of the blade makes it more effective to swing down and slash, inheriting the curved shape of the earlier hair-shaped sword. The advent of this type of sword changed the way of fighting from foot to mounting.

Smelting process.

(1) Mix an appropriate amount of quartz powder and charcoal powder into the iron sand, and send it to the furnace for combustion with a foot-operated bellows (note: later changed to a hand-pulled type). After three days and nights of continuous combustion, the iron sand becomes semi-melted viscous, at which point a layer of impurities floating on the surface is removed, and it is cooled and solidified into slat-like pig iron.

(2) The finished product of the first stage (i.e., slatted pig iron) is crushed with a hammer, remixed with quartz powder and charcoal powder, and then heated and smelted.

(3) After repeated [quenching and smelting], the jade steel will slowly turn into "soft steel" with good purity and elasticity, which is the original part of the sword.

(4) Although the stamen smelted by the third stage has the right elasticity, the original hardness is greatly reduced, so in the fourth stage, a layer of jade steel with higher hardness (called skin iron) is first wrapped on both sides of the stamen, and then the back part of the sword is covered with jade steel with more carbon content (called dong iron), and then [quenching and smelting] is carried out repeatedly to complete the initial prototype of the katana.

(5) When the blade is formed, the [clay smelting] is carried out to make the blade part reach the realm of hardness and sharpness.

After the five stages of smelting and building in the above example, the katana still needs to be polished, carved, and equipped with a handle before it is completed, which shows that the completion of a taidao really involves countless efforts of the swordsmith.

The main species.

Big Sword.

(おおだち), also known as the wild knife (のだち), is a kind of long-grown knife that is more than 5 feet long. During the Kamakura period, the samurai took control of the actual power, and the samurai took pride in their prowess and strength, and the Tai Sword, a weapon with a long blade, was often used on the battlefield. In the book "Taiheiji", which has many exaggerated descriptions, there are many descriptions of swords that exceed 5 feet (about 150 cm). The longest recorded Taidao knife in the literature is 9 feet 3 inches long. In addition, the longest surviving Notai knife has a total length of 7 feet 4 inches 2 minutes (about 225 cm), a curved part of 3 inches 1 minute (about 9.4 cm), and a body width of 1 inch 2 minutes (3.6 cm). This knife is now in the Niigata Yahiko Shrine and is one of Japan's national treasures.

Small knife.

(こだち), a small knife specifically refers to a knife under 2 feet (66cm). Except for the difference in size, it is basically the same as the Taidao.

Hair-shaped knife

(けぬきがたたち), a hair-shaped sword that appeared in the middle of the Heian period, was a sword that integrated the handle and the blade. It is also known as "Wild Sword (のだち)". It is characterized by clear engravings on the design of the shank, which are visible both at the handshake and at the shank head. The hilt and blade are curved, which is influenced to a certain extent by the common Bracken knife in the Kanto region, and is often used for slashing immediately. Originally, the hair-shaped sword was worn by military attachés, but later it became a staff limited to the use of the staff of the minister.

How to use:

In Japanese swordsmanship, there should be no gaps in the palm of the sword, the ring and little fingers grasp the hilt of the sword, the thumb and index finger are pinched gently, and the middle finger rests on the handle without looseness. Once the knife is deployed, the only thought is how to take down the enemy. When slashing at the opponent, you should keep the grip of the knife unchanged, and the hand should not shake, nor should there be the slightest hesitation. When you attack, block or depress your opponent's knife, you should only change the grip of your thumb and forefinger slightly; However, in any case, the purpose of holding a knife is to knock out the opponent, and this cannot be changed.

The way you hold the knife should be the same when trying out the knife or in real fighting. At all times, the knife should be held with the mindset of being prepared to take down the opponent. In general, the movement of the human knife and the way the knife is held in the hand are not fixed. Fixation means a dead end, and agility is the living hand. This needs to be well understood.

Knowing the way of the sword means that you can control the knife in your hand as you like. In this way, even if you hold the sword lightly with only two fingers, you can swing it easily and flexibly. Swinging the sword quickly with the Japanese sword method will inevitably cause difficulty in wielding the knife, and it is not the correct human sword technique. In order to control the knife in his hand with agility and ease, the rail must swing it out with a calm and gentle momentum. Quick swing is the method of shaking the fan and dancing the knife, not the use of the knife. If you use this method on the Taidao, it will deviate from the correct Taidao knife method, which is not conducive to wielding the knife. The quick swing method can be called the "knife smashing method", and it is not suitable for slashing enemies with a sword. When you are holding a knife and slashing, you should use the most convenient technique to lift it up. When you swing the knife sideways, you should first move it sideways and then retract it. The correct way to use a human knife is to extend your elbow as best you can when swinging, and then strike a powerful blow.
