Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

The sound of sharp breaking wind came and went one after another.

Qingdeng was alone in the tent, repeatedly waving the new sword in his hand.

Horizontal chops, vertical chops, diagonal chops, upward lifts, straight thrusts... Every move, every style shows the style of a master, and the sword's tendon is extremely upright.

About 3 minutes later, he slowly stopped, let out a long breath, and then looked down at the new knife in his hand.

"I finally got used to it a little bit..."

The bright mirror-like blade reflected his crushed face.

Vairocana sent it to be recast.

The ghosts and gods were lent to the chief secretary.

Although Qingdeng still has the Tang Shui family heirloom sword available in his inventory, its quality is hard to discern.

In this way, Qingdeng fell into the dilemma of having no sword to use.

As the president of the army, the general of the Shinsengumi, and the strongest swordsman in the shogunate, if he didn't even have a good sword, wouldn't it be a joke?

Regardless of these false reputations, not having a good sword at hand will indeed have a great impact on Qingdeng's strength.

As a result, Qingdeng issued a reward to collect good knives. Anyone who can provide good knives will be generously rewarded.

As soon as this reward was issued, countless people came to offer their swords.

Although there were many people coming, only a few offered good swords.

However, it is natural that his journey of "looking for a knife" is not going to go smoothly.

Those world-famous good knives and precious knives are either broken in the slashing, or they are kept in the homes of famous families and never go out.

There are only a handful of excellent swords left among the people.

Finally, after a swordsmith in Kyoto heard that General Tachibana was conquering the road, he immediately went straight to Otsu to sell his treasured sword-Bizen Nagafune!

Just like "Nagaso Ni Kotetsu" and "Izumi Mori Kanesada", Bizen Nagabune is also a brand name, commonly known as Nagabune.

Talking about the Bizen Nagabune, its name is really unknown to everyone. It can be said to be one of the most famous schools in Japan with the longest history and the most stable quality of swords.

The Bizen Nagafune sect had at least 2,000 swordsmen during the ancient sword period. The knives of this sect were of high quality and large in quantity.

Its prosperity is due to the high-quality iron ore nearby. The quality of its sand and gravel is among the best in Japan. In addition, the nearby water quality is also suitable for making knives. In addition, the rich forest resources also provide a large amount of charcoal.

In addition, the Bizen Nagafune faction is far away from the center of political power and is not affected by regime changes. Therefore, it can provide swords to the national market and lead the trend of the times, with many famous craftsmen emerging.

Swordsmith schools across Japan, no matter how famous they are or how big or small they are, have a common problem, which is the inability to maintain quality.

For example, only the second-generation Kanesada swords of Izumi Mori Kanesada are top-quality, and the swords of other generations are not very good.

The same goes for Tsuda Sukehiro. The first Tsuda Sukehiro was famous as the "Supreme Great One", but most of the swords forged by his descendants were mediocre.

It is rare to see a school like Bizen Nagafune that continues to produce good swords and has quite stable quality.

The Bizen Nagafun presented by the swordsmith is the most famous among all the swords collected this time.

Qingdeng invited the most professional knife appraiser he knew - Boss Kiryu - to help him appraise it.

Boss Kiryu carefully appreciates every detail of this Bizen longbune with the unique professional techniques of the Yamada Asaemon family.

The results of his appraisal are as follows: This sword should be the work of Bizen Nagafune Hidemitsu. The quality is acceptable. Although it is not a masterpiece of the world, it is indeed a good sword and can be classified as a "property".

Property... This rating made Qingdeng slightly disappointed.

He does not expect to obtain the "greatest property" that can be found but cannot be obtained.

However, he has expectations for "big business".

Of course, he also knew in his heart that it was a blessing to get a handful of "property".

Therefore, he readily bought the Bizen Nagabune for 500 taels of gold.

Interestingly, in the process of looking for a good sword, Qingteng accidentally heard a very interesting rumor: the living among the people, Kikuichi Monji Norizon!

Ju Yimoji no Zong - Since it is named after "Chrysanthemum", it is not difficult to see that this sword is related to the Kyoto royal family.

In fact, it is.

During the Kamakura period (1185-1333), Emperor Go-Toba commissioned the Ichimonzono swordsmith of Bizen Province, Ichimonji norimune, to forge a tachi - this sword was Kiku Ichimonji norimune.

The blade length is 78.48CM, the blade is extremely long, and the blade is thin and thin. The 16-petal chrysanthemum family emblem representing the royal family is engraved on the blade near the handle, and there is a horizontal one-character pattern engraved below it.

This sword has a history of 800 years. Because of its long history, it is an ancient sword with a national treasure level.

There are generally two opinions regarding the practicality of Kikuichi Monji no Sect.

One is that the chrysanthemum and the monastic clan are royal weapons, that is, ritual vessels, mostly for decoration and used to show majesty.

Although its too slender blade looks good, it is not suitable for combat.

Both of them mean that Juyiwenzezong not only ensures the beauty, but also ensures the practicality.

Its blade is very sharp. In terms of sharpness, it is not inferior to the Greatest Karma at all.

No matter which statement is correct, Qingden has become somewhat interested in this knife.

So, he spent some time trying to find out the whereabouts of this ancient sword.

Then, he heard this story:

About 30 years ago, the long-lost Kikuichi Mononori Mune reappeared in the world and was possessed by a powerful swordsman named Seta Sotaro.

Seta Sotaro is a martial arts fanatic who is obsessed with swordsmanship. He challenges masters everywhere and wins every battle.

While he was singing triumphantly, he suddenly met a man with extraordinary skills.

The opponent defeated Seta Sotaro effortlessly.

Seta Sotaro was convinced of his defeat and resigned himself to the defeat. He declared loudly that "the sword is worthy of the master", and then dedicated the chrysanthemum on his waist to the opponent.

In this way, Ju Yiwen Zezong fell into the hands of this worldly master.

Who is this extremely powerful outsider?

There is no conclusion yet.

In fact, even whether this story is true or false is a question.

In short, Qingden tried to find Juyi Monji no Sect, but in the end, as expected, he found nothing.

He didn't expect to get this long-lost sword anyway, so Qingden didn't feel disappointed.

After getting the Bizen Nagafune, Ayoto did basic swordsmanship exercises every day and worked hard to get used to it.

The Bizen Nagabune is good, but if you are used to Vairocana's Qingto, it will be really difficult to adapt to it for a while.

The more powerful a warrior is, the more he will pay attention to the running-in between himself and his weapon.

At Qingdeng's level, it is rare to encounter a strong person whose strength can overwhelm him or whose strength is much higher than his.

When fighting against guys whose strength is similar to yours, you mainly compete on various details.

For example, did you sleep well last night?

Another example is whether the weapon in your hand is satisfactory.

From the beginning, Qingden and Vairocana had a very high degree of compatibility.

The weight, length, blade curvature... every detail of Vairocana is incomparably consistent with Qingden.

It is no exaggeration to say that this sword seems to be tailor-made for Qingdeng! The only purpose of its birth seems to be to become Qingdeng’s sword!

Whenever he holds Vairocana, Qingden does not feel like he is holding a sword, but feels that his arms have lengthened.

The combination of man and sword is nothing more than this.

But now, holding this unfamiliar knife, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

No matter how I waved it, it just felt wrong.

To give a vivid metaphor: Whenever he waves the Bizen Nagafune, it feels like he is running with prosthetic legs and playing basketball with prosthetic hands.

Although this metaphor is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed Qingdeng's true feelings.

However, after a long period of running-in, he is finally used to this new knife.

Just when Qingdeng was about to continue sharpening the new sword, suddenly and suddenly, footsteps came from far and near outside the camp.

After a moment, Hijikata Toisho, dressed in Western-style clothes, lifted the curtain and leaned half of his body in:

"Tangerine, all the soldiers are here."

Hijikata Toshizo seems to be completely in love with that suit.

Now he always wears this set of clothes whether in public or in private.

Hearing this, Qingdeng nodded slightly:

"Okay, I'll come right away."

As he spoke, he sheathed the sword, grabbed the clothes next to him, and strode towards the tent while dressing neatly.
To be continued...
