Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 80 Design
Not a sword, not a knife; a sword, but also a knife.

Chu Tang spoke seriously, but the listeners were confused.

When the two looked puzzled, Chu Tang took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket, slowly opened it, and spread it flat on the tea table.

Hu Jiacheng took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! You are..."

Not only him, Fang Kai also saw the patterns on the paper clearly——

The black and straight lines outline the shape of a weapon.

Why do you say it looks like a weapon, but you can't be sure it's really a weapon? In fact, Fang Kai and Hu Jiacheng have never seen a weapon with such a shape!

The size is also marked on the pattern, three feet long, one and a half inches wide, narrow and long, with one side thick and the other thin.

The thin side is sharpened, and the thick side is not sharpened, like a single-edged knife, but straighter than a knife.

A diagonal corner was suddenly folded on the tip of the soldier, like the tip of a sword, but it looked very strange, one side had a relatively long front, and the other side had a short front.

The handle in his hand is also longer than ordinary knives and swords, and it cannot be fully held with one hand, and it is somewhat reluctant to hold it with both hands.

They finally understood why Chu Tang was talking nonsense about how the sword looks like and doesn't look like it.

In fact, this thing is really like a knife and a sword, like a sword and a knife!

The whole is completely different!

"Chu Tang, I think your thing looks a lot like a knife, but the blade is straight, and the point is sharp, and it looks like a sword. What are you doing!" Fang Kai couldn't help asking.

Chu Tang smiled slightly, and said: "This is indeed a knife. The back of the knife is thick and the handle is long. It is suitable for using a knife with force. But the straight blade and the sharp edge can be used as a sword, and it can be used as a sword."

If there is someone from the same place as Chu Tang who can definitely recognize it at a glance, he is copying Tang Hengdao!

Of course, the horizontal knife is a knife after all, suitable for killing enemies in battle.

And Chu Tang made some modifications on the basis: Originally, the tip of the horizontal knife was only on one side, but he also cut off a little point on the other side, which is the back side of the knife, which can be used to stab, stab, Swordsmanship movements such as reverse cutting.

In addition, he also borrowed from the Yanling Sword and shortened the handle of the knife, which is more suitable for one-handed knife, rather than two-handed.

Why build such a strange weapon?

This is also the result of Chu Tang's long-term consideration.

Not to mention whether the panel will exchange him for more sword skills and sword skills in the future, just the martial arts he currently possesses, there is one set of sword skills and two sets of knife skills, just using a knife, he can't use sword skills at all The power comes.

He can't walk around the world with a knife and a sword with him!

Although the sword and sword look very imposing, it is not very convenient after all.

So he thought, if there is a weapon that can satisfy the usage of a sword at the same time, that would be great.

For this reason, he recalled all the weapons he could think of, and finally selected Tang Hengdao, and modified it to be more suitable for the dual use of swords.

And now there are the drawings.

After all, Hu Jiacheng was a weapon forger with superb eyesight. After just a few glances, he immediately understood Chu Tang's intentions, and asked, "Master Chu knows both sword and saber techniques. Are you good at it?"

Chu Tang laughed and said, "Boss Hu is worthy of his family background, his eyes are like candles!"

Hu Jiacheng took another look at the drawings carefully, and said, "Actually, it would look better if Mr. Chu only cut one edge on the tip of the knife. The tail of the knife should be bent a bit, and the handle should be longer, so it is suitable for holding the knife with both hands. The handle can be used as a sharp weapon for soldiers on the battlefield!"

Chu Tang was slightly startled, thinking that you are a bit of a guy, you even figured out the famous weapons of people who live a good life!

"Boss Hu, Chu is not a soldier, he just needs a weapon that suits him." Chu Tang responded firmly.

Hu Jiacheng asked again: "Lord Chu, do you have a name for this weapon?"

"Let's call it Hengdao." Chu Tang responded with a complicated expression.

"Hold?" Hu Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, "What's the meaning of this?"

Chu Tang expressed in his heart that he didn't know, so he had no choice but to say: "I have something in my heart, and I have to respond with my mouth, so I just call it out."

Hu Jiacheng didn't bother with this question, and asked: "Master Chu, after the weapon is built for him, can Hu make some modifications on the basis of this weapon, and then promote it to the world?"

Chu Tang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so interested in horizontal swords or samurai swords.

A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, he nodded and said, "Boss Hu, just try."

So what if you don't agree, can you still sue others for plagiarism and collect copyright fees?
Hu Jiacheng was overjoyed, and said: "Thank you, Lord Chu, for your success! Hu can offer a silver tael as a token of gratitude."

"How much money?" Chu Tang's eyes lit up, and he became philistine.

Seeing this, Fang Kai couldn't help covering his face, feeling a little ashamed.

"Three... oh no, 500 taels of silver?" Hu Jiacheng tentatively tried.

Chu Tang was immediately disappointed, 500 taels to send the beggar away!
If he was still in Shixian County, let alone 500 taels, Chu Tang thought that 50 taels was a huge windfall, so he would definitely accept it happily.

But now, after several times of groping for corpses, his pockets have long since swelled up, and he has three or four thousand taels of silver bills in his body.

Besides, Hengdao, such a beautiful knife is not small, its copyright fee is worth 500 taels of silver?

If Hengdao was conscious, it would indicate that he had been greatly insulted and wanted to stab someone!

Seeing the displeasure on Chu Tang's face, Hu Jiacheng gritted his teeth and said, "How about 800 taels? Isn't it okay? Well, one thousand... at most it can only be 1000 taels! No matter how expensive Hu is, he won't be able to afford it! Although this Knives are suitable for soldiers to fight, but there are tens of thousands of iron shops in the world, and there are all kinds of weapons. If you want to include weapons in the ranks of imperial court procurement, you need to spend a lot of energy and things to sort them out."

"Forget it!" Chu Tang waved his hand, "1000 taels is 1000 taels! I don't want the money, Chu. When Chu's weapon is finished, the 1000 taels will be included in the cost of materials and labor. Save some money for the county government."

"No problem!" With a big wave of his hand, Hu Jiacheng accepted the blueprint and the black iron on the table.

"How long does it take for a weapon to be ready?" Chu Tang asked again.

Hu Jiacheng replied: "Half a month."

"Too slow." Chu Tang shook his head.

Hu Jiacheng smiled wryly: "It's not too late. Not only have to find ways to integrate the black iron into other materials, but also try to attack the fifth-rank magic weapon, which not only consumes energy, but also takes time! It's already half a month. For the sake of the two of you, we are going to concentrate our efforts and give priority to building this weapon."

Chu Tang looked at Fang Kai and saw the latter nodding, so he said, "That's fine. Just half a month! After half a month, Chu will come to pick up the weapon. I hope Boss Hu won't disappoint Chu."

Hu Jiacheng even said that he would do his best.

Fang Kai then exchanged a few words of dedication to the Hu family, and then left with Chu Tang.

The two walked out of the iron shop and headed back to the county office.

After walking half a mile away, Chu Tang asked worriedly: "Boss Fang, if Boss Hu really builds a fifth-grade magic weapon, he won't be greedy for ink, right?"

"He doesn't dare!" Fang Kai laughed, "There are so many people in the iron shop, and there are so many people talking about it, he can't hide it. If he doesn't want to completely offend the county government and die in the rivers and lakes, he will obediently take out the weapons he made A person with a big family and a big career doesn’t have the courage to put all the bets on it.”

After thinking about it, Chu Tang felt that it made sense, so he couldn't help but also laughed, and said expectantly: "Then I'll wait to get my weapon. I hope there will be no accidents."

Fang Kai said twice: "Don't talk nonsense! Good things don't work, bad things work!"

Chu Tang smiled, said nothing more, returned to the county office, and waited in peace.

However, there is a word called one word becomes prophecy.

Facts have proved that Chu Tang is a crow's mouth.

After two days of hard work, there was an accident at the iron shop——

Hu Jiacheng sent someone to report to the county government office. Someone rushed into the iron shop, wounded him, and killed one of his disciples, then snatched Xuantie away and walked away.

"Missing Xuantie?" Chu Tang was stunned.
