in the edge

Chapter 31 Another way to sharpen the knife
Ink and inkstone, can these also be used to sharpen knives?

Du Chengfeng once thought that he was wrong. After all, these two things did not look like they were related to knives. But just when Du Chengfeng was confused, an old hand took away the horse-breaking knife. stand up.

The old man stroked the blade with his palm, just like what Du Chengfeng did just now.

And after this initial feeling, a brush was tapped on the blade.

The ink smeared on the blade, and the old palm brushed like a snake, and the whole knife was quickly filled with words, which turned out to be a classic that persuades people to learn from.

After that, the horse-breaking sword was placed on the inkstone.

Outside the window, the sound of reading could also be heard loudly.

There are young children, teenagers, young people, and even old people reading. Their voices are messy, but neat and uniform. With this reading, the long horse-breaking knife on the inkstone that is being continuously polished gradually disappears. A bit of chilling air, a bit more of the fragrance of books and ink.

This knife is actually following the book.

At this moment, Du Chengfeng noticed this very clearly.

However, it was precisely because of this forceful grasp that the already weak perception became more blurred—fortunately, before the picture completely dissipated, Du Chengfeng finally saw clearly the final process of sharpening the knife .

That is to wipe off the ink stains on the blade with a scroll, and then give a deep salute to the broken horse sword.

"...that's okay too?"

Du Chengfeng, who came back to his senses, felt his head buzzing.

It's not that what he just sensed put any pressure on his body, it's just that what he just sensed was too abstract.

Although he can probably understand those pictures, but when it comes to sharpening knives, he can't understand them at all.

"In other words, ink was used to replace the water that soaked the whetstone, and then an inkstone was used to replace the whetstone?"

Following his own experience in sharpening knives, Du Chengfeng tried to understand it.

However, Du Chengfeng's understanding can only go so far. As for the rest, whether it's the words written on the knife, the sound of reading outside the window, or the deep salute at the end, they all fall into the category that he can't understand.

Du Chengfeng could probably guess that this might be some kind of knife sharpening process, but why it was sharpened in such a performance art way, he couldn't guess.

So, he decided to try it out for himself.

"I should have bought a writing brush..."

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Du Chengfeng finally found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bottom of a certain box.

After studying the ink and filling the pen, Du Chengfeng was ready to proceed to the first process, which was to write. As for the words to be written, he didn't remember, mainly because of the exhortation to learn that he perceived just now. , and the content of the persuasion in his impression is quite different, let alone the persuasion that he hastily skipped, even the persuasion in memory, he can't memorize it.

So after a moment of thinking, Du Chengfeng decided to write something casually first.

Then he picked up the thick knife at hand.

There is nothing he can do about it. With his dog-like handwriting, he really can't write many words on the relatively slender horse-breaking sword. But now in his hand, this two-handed sword with a relatively wide blade can allow him to write more words. I've written a few strokes.

"So, everyone is a brother who knows everything, you won't mind, right?"

The heavy sword lay quietly in his hand, but there was no sign of boredom.

And Du Chengfeng also started his inscription.

"There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and I suspect there is frost on the ground... I will try the pen first! Why worry!"

Seeing that the big knife in his hand was about to hit his feet, Du Chengfeng quickly wiped off the ink with a rag, and then changed a few words.

"To kill a person in ten steps, you will not stay behind for thousands of miles. When the matter is over, brush off your clothes and hide your body and name deeply."

This time, the heavy knife in his hand did not hit his feet, but lay quietly in his hands, as if quite satisfied with these two inscriptions.

The first step was completed, and Du Chengfeng started to prepare for the second step. He couldn't do it with the sound of reading, mainly because there were not so many people, although it was not impossible for him to call all the Yang family over to study. , but it’s still a bit too unethical in the middle of the night.

After a moment of hesitation, Du Chengfeng decided to try reading a few sentences himself.

It’s just an attempt anyway, and it might not matter if you shorten the steps a bit.

"Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it is like a shooting star..."

While reciting this one of the few poems he could count as a knight-errant by heart, Du Chengfeng sharpened the thick sword in his hand.

Speaking of which, this knife really needed to be sharpened. Although he had just sharpened the knife not long ago, he chopped down more than 200 barbarians in succession after that.Even if the Cooking Jiezhu style allows the blade to travel between the bones to maximize the protection of the blade, if you kill more than [-] people in a row, there will inevitably be some invisible wounds on the blade.

In the process of grinding, Du Chengfeng actually vaguely felt that those subtle wounds on the blade were being gradually repaired.

This can't help but make Du Chengfeng stunned. The current situation is somewhat beyond his common sense. After all, as we all know, the blade of a knife becomes thinner as it is sharpened. To put it bluntly, the so-called sharpening of the edge is to remove the old layer of the edge. The mouth is ground away, revealing a new edge.

Just like people are subject to aging, sickness and death, knives often have their own limits.When the steel edge is almost ground, when the whole knife can no longer be sharpened, a knife should come to an end.

Of course, when people encounter birth, old age, illness and death, they can also take medicine according to the prescription, or warm and nourish themselves to survive this disaster.But the question is, can a knife made of steel do this?

"Yes! It really can!"

The more it went on, the more frightened Du Chengfeng became.

Obviously, the process of sharpening the knife is the consumption of the steel edge, but the thick and heavy knife in his hand seems to have been nourished in a certain way. Not only the curved blades and chipped edges have returned to their original state, but even the edge itself seems to have changed. Get sharper.

Picking up the big knife, Du Chengfeng lightly tested the edge.

Before his fingers even touched the blade, there was already a trace of blood.

"Then it's the final step..."

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, Du Chengfeng still began to recall the procedure just now and prepared to finish it.

If he wanted to use a book to wipe his knife...he didn't have this. How could he buy such valuable items as books at the country market?He could do the salute at the back, but after looking at the big knife in his hand, Du Chengfeng always felt that he didn't need to salute at all with this big knife that he already knew about.

On the contrary, he always felt that what this big knife needs right now is actually wine.
