There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

The reason why it is called a weapons shop is because the area is more than twice the size of the surrounding ones, and the owner is not one person, but three people.

A large straw mat was spread out, and it was covered with various weapons. There were also many swords stuck directly in the snow. Their sharp blades shone with a cold light, colder than the moonlight!

There really is no more suitable sign than this. There is no need to do anything else to make it clear at a glance.

Behind the straw mat, there was a wooden box. A strong man wearing a mask was sitting on it, with his hands on his knees, like a sculpture. Behind him, there were two men in bamboo hats holding knives standing on both sides. Not easy to mess with.

Lu Hu walked up quickly and looked at the weapons on the straw mat. There was a dazzling array of weapons. The most common styles were knives and swords, mixed with some sticks, short axes, gun heads, daggers, sleeve arrows, flying knives, flying needles, and flying swords. Locust stone.

Lu Hu first looked at the knife.

There are heavy knives, fast knives, narrow knives, broad knives, and wrist-removing short knives.

His eyes scanned each one, and then he picked up a broad knife with five fingers wide from it.

"Hey~!"

Pulling the knife out of its sheath, the white blade flashed in the darkness. Lu Hu held the knife and turned his wrist to feel some weight and center of gravity. Then he rubbed the blade with his thumb to test its sharpness. Finally, his index and middle fingers overlapped. , flicked the blade.

"Dang~!"

Lu Hu listened carefully. Through the sound of the knife flicking, he could tell whether the materials used were even when the blade was made.

The clearer the sound and the more vibrating it is, it means the knife is of uniform quality and made of good materials.

After hearing this, Lu Hu was not very satisfied. He sheathed the knife, put it back, and then began to use the same method to try other knives.

Originally, the owner would only speak when someone came to ask for the price, but Lu Hu was obviously an expert with knives. Seeing him trying out the knives one by one, he couldn't help but speak.

"You get what you pay for. The prices of knives here are about the same, and the better ones are stuck on both sides!"

When Lu Hu heard this, he carefully looked at the weapons inserted on both sides. There were six weapons on both sides, three knives and three swords.

The three knives are all long knives, two are wide and one is narrow, with different lengths. The longest one is the narrow knife.

Lu Hu first pulled out the sword. The sword was three fingers wide, the handle was a foot long, and the blade was an arm's length.

The long sword struck the ground and could reach Lu Hu's ribs. Such a long sword was mainly used on the battlefield. When wielded, it had the power to sweep through thousands of armies and crush all men and horses.

But it is not suitable for martial arts. It is inconvenient to carry and cannot be used in street fighting because the blade is too long, which affects the performance of skills.

Although Lu Hu liked this knife quite a lot, it didn't suit him and he could only insert it back into its original position.

As for the other two broad knives, one is four fingers wide and the other is five fingers wide. Their lengths are similar to those used by Lu Huzheng.

In terms of quality, as the owner said, it is basically the same as the narrow knife. The edge is crisp, the center of gravity is precise, strong and tough, and the quality is even higher than Scarface's long knife.

The five-finger-wide one was already a bit thick, so Lu Hu finally chose the four-finger-wide one.

The back of the knife is straight, the blade is curved toward the back, the tip is protruding, and the handle is slightly curved.

It is four fingers wide, four feet and seven feet long, and weighs three kilograms and five taels. The blade is white and the handle is made of ebony. There is a blood groove carved on the lower side of the back of the knife.

"What's the price of this knife?"

"Thirty-five taels!"

"So expensive? Cheaper!"

"You get what you pay for, and those on the straw mat are only fifteen taels!"

After the master finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the two eyes of the bull-shaped mask looked directly at Lu Hu.

Lu Hu smiled, "Okay, just thirty-five taels, scabbard!"

The master took out a black scabbard from a large pocket behind him and handed it to Lu Hu.

Lu Hu took the knife and inserted it into the scabbard, making it fit tightly. Then he pushed the sword's thumb hard against the blade.

It has a slight damping feel and feels very comfortable in the hand.

It seems that you really get what you pay for, both the knife and the scabbard are good.

"Can you make a sheath for the dagger? I will give this dagger a sheath!"

Lu Hu gave the dagger out, and the owner took it, glanced at it, and returned it.

"I paid the deposit and can come tomorrow. What material do you want?"

"Cowhide!"

"Five taels, pay half of the deposit!"

"No problem! By the way, won't you give me the knife oil and whetstone?"

"One or two!"

Lu Hu was speechless for a while. The service was too bad, but he had spent a lot of money on it. This was just a piecemeal.

After the money was delivered and it was agreed to pick up the things tomorrow night, Lu Hu finished walking around the ghost market and found out what these stalls were selling.

I didn't see Pei Yuan along the way, and I don't know where he went. It was very mysterious.

Lu Hu went directly to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he didn't knock on the door to wake up the waiter who was sleeping in the lobby. Instead, he climbed over the wall and went back to his yard.

After coming back, I sat at the table in the room. I picked up the teapot on the table and poured myself a glass of cold water. After drinking a few glasses to quench my thirst, I thought about going to bed, but I saw a new knife on the table. .

My hands felt a little itchy, and after thinking for a moment, I picked up the new knife and went to the front yard.

With a sound of "噌~!", he pulled out his knife and began to use his knife skills in the yard.

The weight of this knife is much heavier than the previous long knife. The original long knife was a bit light for Lu Hu's growing strength, but the weight of this knife just weighs down on the hand, making it extremely comfortable to swing.

Soon, the sword light spread out in the courtyard.

When Lu Hu was performing his sword skills, he couldn't help but think about the secrets of body skills that Pei Yuan told him.

"The heart is the command, the energy is the flag, and the waist is the bandanna. If you seize the opportunity and follow the trend, you can advance or retreat!"

Thinking of this sentence in his mind, the movements of his body began to become weird, and the originally smooth and smooth knife skills suddenly began to stagnate.

"no!"

After Lu Hu tried it, he knew that at his current level, he simply couldn't do this kind of multitasking.

"Stay down to earth!"

Lu Hu smiled, held a sword in his hand, sheathed the sword gracefully, and then went back to the house to sleep.

A sound sleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Hu got up and began to formally carry out his training plan.

In the morning, I practiced swordsmanship and legwork first, and continued practicing until noon, when I had dinner in the restaurant in front.

I didn't see Pei Yuan either. I don't know if he just didn't come back at the latest.

After eating, Lu Hu gave instructions to the waiter, gave him money, and asked him to prepare charcoal and a large water tank.

After preparing for the medicinal bath, I returned to the yard and started practicing the rising method to boost my energy.

If you practice this Fu Jin well, you can practice Qing Gong in a serious way even when you reach the viscera training stage. It is also very useful, so you can't be careless.

With Pei Yuan's guidance, Lu Hu made rapid progress in the leaping technique.

After the waiter and a few guys brought the water tank, Lu Hu ordered the water to be filled, and then sent people back.

He moved the water tank into the house himself, found bricks to cushion it as before, and put the charcoal underneath in a fire box under the water tank.

The progress of marrow training is just under the medicinal bath, and it continues to move towards the peak.

2024, happy new year everyone!
