I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

His eyes were full of strong resentment.

He muttered:

"25 years ago, a girl I've always had a crush on eloped with a smelly monk."

"Since then, I have made up my mind that I am incompatible with Buddhism!"

"Your knife is made by a monk, which makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't want to touch a knife that was made by a monk."

"Please come back."

Quiet

Quiet

Quiet

Ogata's brain stopped working for a while.

Not just Ogata.

A-Machi and A-Zhu also looked like their brains had stopped working.

As for Naoshu who was sitting behind Ogata and the others, he showed a helpless expression.

After a long while, Ogata's brain finally started working again.

After the brain recovered, the first words that came out of Ogata's mind were:

ha?

Is it because of this? !

Yu Er, who had been expressionless just now and looked like a master, now folded his arms around his chest, showing resentment, like a little boy whose snacks were robbed.

Just because of this reason, he refused to help him repair the knife, so Ogata didn't know what expression to put on.

Yu Er's expression just now made Ogata think that there was some blood feud between him and the monk.

It is useless to delve into why Yu Er refused to help him repair the knife. It is better to find a way to persuade Yu Er to help him repair the knife, so Ogata put aside his complaints about Yu Er and hurriedly said:

"Can you please accommodate me? I would like to pay double the price."

"I've said it all, it's not about money." Yu Er replied without thinking, "If I say I don't fix it, I don't fix it."

"And I'm still busy."

Yu Er pouted at the "curved" knife by his side.

"I'm currently busy repairing Zhi Zhou's knife. It will take at least another month for his knife to be fully repaired. I don't have time to repair your knife now."

"This knife belongs to my nephew." Naoki said while smiling at Ogata at this time, "My stupid nephew didn't know what was wrong with his head, and he suddenly yelled that he wanted to study something that could split stones. Swordsmanship."

"He took his own knife and slashed at a boulder, and then he chopped the knife like this."

Ogata's complexion couldn't help but sink at this moment.

Whether it is the ability to restore a knife with such a serious "side bend" as new, or to be able to tell at a glance that Ogata's saber was cast by a monk from the Tianxiang sect, all of these show that Yuer is an extremely skilled swordsmith .

It was so hard to find such a craftsman with such outstanding skills, Ogata really didn't want to just miss it.

If you miss Yu Er, God knows when you will find such a powerful swordsmith again.

And for the current Ogata, the best place to repair a knife at present is no different from Osaka.

Because it is the closest to Mount Koya, the straight-line distance between the two places is only 50 kilometers.

After repairing the knife, he could just go straight to Mount Koya to find a way to clear the "immortal poison" in his body.

No matter what, Ogata, who didn't want to leave in such a disappointing way, cleared his throat, and was about to continue trying to persuade Yuji.

But right now

"To the second master."

Naoshu, who had been sitting behind Ogata and the others just now, spoke.

After everyone's puzzled eyes focused on Zhi Zhou, Zhi Zhou continued to speak loudly:

"Could you please see that we are old friends, and help Mashima-sama repair the knife?"

As soon as Zhi Zhou said this, Yu Er, who had a firm expression just now, finally changed his expression.

Yu Er: "Zhi Zhou?"

"The repair of my nephew's knife can be postponed." Naosuke glanced at the "scimitar", "You can give priority to repairing Mashima-sama's knife first."

"After Master Mashima's sword is repaired, it will not be too late to repair my nephew's sword."

"Zhi Zhou, are you serious?" Yu Er frowned.

"Of course it's serious." Naosuke's tone became more serious at this time, "Mashima-sama is a very important old friend of mine, please, please treat it as a way of selling my face, make an exception once, and help Mashima-sama Let him repair the knife."

After saying that, Naosuke bent down, kneeling on the ground, and bowed to Naosuke who was facing him.

"Mr. Isshiki" looked at Naosuke who was helping him get a chance to repair the knife, Ogata's eyes shone with surprise and joy.

But Yu Er had a complicated expression at this time.

He looked at Ogata, and then at Yuji.

Finally he let out a long sigh.

"Since Yu Er, you have already talked about this, then it's fine."

Spread your hands to Niasao Ogata.

"Give me your knife."

Yu Er, who had been repulsed just now, finally changed his mind at this time, and Ogata, who couldn't hide the joy on his face, handed Da Shitian and Da Zizai to Yu Er again with the knife and sheath.

After receiving Da Shitian and Da Zizai, Yu Er said slowly:

"Your knife will take seven days to fix."

"Come back to me to pick up the knife in 7 days."

"The total cost of repairing your two knives is 2 taels. You have to pay me half of the money as a deposit first, and pay the rest after returning the repaired knives to you."

"Mr. Isshiki, thank you very much for your help."

After leaving Yu Er's workshop and returning to the empty living room of the dilapidated house, Ooja immediately bowed to Nao Zhou to thank him.

"Hahaha, it's all right." Zhi Zhou smiled, "It's just a matter of little effort."

After delivering Da Shitian and Da Zizai, Ogata's waist is now empty.

For a long time, Ogata has been used to the feeling of a heavy object hanging on his left waist, and he is also used to stepping on his left foot deeper and his right foot shallower when walking. .

Ogata was not used to not having a knife on his left waist now, and even walked awkwardly.

"You really helped me a lot." Ogata continued to salute and thank Naoshu, "I really don't know how to thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, I also said it, but it's just a little effort." Naoki continued to laugh, "Mashima-sama, the reason why you came to Osaka is to find Master Yuer to repair his sword?"

"Well, that's about it." Ogata nodded, "If it wasn't for finding Master Yuer, who is said to be very powerful, to help me repair the knife, I probably wouldn't have come to Osaka."

At this moment, a pensive look appeared on Zhizhou's face.

"Mashima-sama, do you have time in the future?"

"The day after tomorrow? Well, until my knife is repaired, I should be quite free." Ogata replied honestly.

Ogata planned to accompany A-Machi and the others to play leisurely in this bustling Osaka city until the sword was repaired during the period of waiting for the sword to be repaired.

"That's it"

At this time, Naoki's eyes flashed with the light of "Hua Ji Tong".

"Since this is the case, Mashima-sama, I have a heartfelt request."

"I wonder if Mashima-sama can you come to my sword gym to watch the big test match between my Yishi sword gym and other sword gyms?"

In fact, the author also wants to know how those terrific knife smiths repaired such badly broken knives to look like new

Chapter 632 The 3rd Battle of Osaka—Launch!【6800】

Before Ogata and the others had time to say anything, Naoshu began to explain to the three of them on his own:

"The big trial match is a trial match jointly held by my Yise Sword Gym and other sword gyms with good relations. Let the apprentices in each gym go to the field to test the level of the apprentices in their respective gyms."

Ogata didn't really need Naoshu's explanation.

When he accidentally took a bath in the same bath with Yishihua before, he heard about the "big trial marriage" from Yishihua.

According to Isshika, she and Naoki had to take a fast and convenient smuggling boat back to Japan in order to rush back to participate in the "big test".

Because this "big trial match" is quite similar to the "respecting the gods and martial arts" held by the Sakakibara Sword Gym where Ogata used to practice swords, so Ogata was quite impressed with this "big trial match".

"Mr. Isshiki." Ogata said at this time, "You want me to come to your hall to watch the big test match. What does that mean?"

"Mashima-sama." Naoki looked at Ogata with pleading eyes, "This is Master Yuer's residence, so it's not a convenient place to talk."

"There is a tea house that I often go to not far from here."

"Could you spare a little time now to have a detailed talk with me at the teahouse?"

To be honest, Ogata is not at all interested in the "big test match" that Naoshu said.

It is not very happy for Ogata to take the time to talk about the "big test match" with Naoichi to a nearby tea house now.

But I can't help but be short-handed.

Ogata has just been taken care of by Naoshu, without Naoshu's help, he might still be trying to persuade Yu Er to help him repair the knife.

"Okay." After all, Ogata is not the kind of person who has no face and no skin. Just when someone helped you, you don't give them any face. This kind of thing can't be done emotionally, "I know, let's go , but don't talk for too long."

"Please don't worry!" Zhi Zhou was now full of excitement, "I will definitely not delay your time for too long!"

Zhi Zhou greeted Yu Er, saying that he had something important to do, so he would take a step first.

At this time, Yuer has already started to repair Da Shitian and Da Zizai.

Holding Da Shitian in his hand, he carefully looked at the blade of Da Shitian, and when Zhizhou said goodbye to him, he just nodded and said "well, go slowly".

His eyes never left Da Shitian's blade from beginning to end.

Ogata was very curious about Yuji's behavior of looking directly at the sword.

As soon as he left Yu Er's house, Xu Fang couldn't help but ask Zhi Zhou: What was Yu Er doing just now.

"Oh. He was looking at the sword just now." Yu Er replied, "This is a necessary process for repairing the sword."

"Each knife is unique."

"Each knife's edge pattern, frustration pattern, hole, blade curvature, etc., are all different."

"Therefore, there is no unified standard for sword grinding and repair."

"Only the kind of low-level knifesmith will start repairing a strange knife without thinking about it."

"A swordsmith who is really skilled will carefully look at the sword hundreds of times before grinding and repairing the sword, and study the sword thoroughly."

"Conceive how to grind in your mind to best utilize the characteristics of this knife, outline the design drawings for repairing and grinding in your mind, and conceive the sequence of work."

"Whether Yu Er is helping others to repair or sharpen their knives, he is usually used to spending days researching knives and designing the best repairing and grinding methods before starting work."

"So that's how it is," Ogata murmured, "Sure enough, there is a lot of knowledge involved in the grinding and repairing of swords."

"Look forward to it. Mashima-sama." Naoki said with a smile, "Master Yuer's skills will never let you down."

"I can't wait to see my repaired knife in 7 days." Ogata responded half-jokingly.

While they were talking, they had already left the remote suburb where Yu Er lived, and came to a bustling street market.

The "tea house he often goes to" that Naoshu mentioned is located in the center of this street.

According to Zhizhou, when he usually visits Yuer, an old friend, he often comes to this tea house to drink a few cups of hot tea and eat some snacks before going home.

Judging from the reactions of the waiters in the tea house, Naosuke was not lying.

After Naosuke led Ogata and the others into the teahouse, several waiters who were working in the teahouse greeted Naozhou enthusiastically after seeing Naozhou, with a look of familiarity with Naozhou. appearance.

This is a tea house with private room service. After Naoki ordered a private room and the best tea and snacks in the tea house, he sat in the private room facing the three of Ogata.

"Okay, Mr. Isshiki." As soon as he settled down on the tatami, Ogai said bluntly to Naoshu, "I have something to say, but please speak up."

Zhizhou didn't dare to talk nonsense, he cleared his throat, and said seriously:
