Just after Xiao Shitou's body was dragged out, Zheng Zhilong actually changed his name to Ding Yunyi, showing unusual affection: "I have always admired your father, Mr. Qingtang, and this time my nephew fought bravely again and made a decisive victory in the naval battle.
For the first time, my nephew is going to Penghu, where pirates often come and go and are invaded by red barbarians, so Mr. Zheng has a small gift for my nephew..."
Ding Yunyi's "father", Ding Yuanzhao, was given the nickname Duan Ran and his nickname was Qingtang. In order to show the extraordinary relationship between the two, Zheng Zhilong called him "Mr. Qingtang".
When Ding Yunyi heard the word "gift", he knew that the other party was trying to win over him. But he really couldn't understand why Zheng Zhilong would kill people and threaten him at one moment, and then give him a gift at the next?
Zheng Zhilong asked someone to bring a long box, but he didn't know what was in it. He carefully placed the box on the case, with a lot of reluctance in his tone: "I know that Mr. Qingtang has been honest for most of his life. If you treat him with gold and silver,
A gift would inevitably cause him displeasure, but things like this are completely different..."
As he spoke, he opened the box, and there was a Tang Dao-style weapon lying inside.
Zheng Zhilong took out the sword and cherished it very much: "Back then, when I traveled east to the Japanese country and learned swordsmanship on Kyushu Island of the Japanese country, I happened to encounter the Suizheng Rukawa River of Aizu Itōryu. I sparred with him, but there was no Sanhe. The weapon in my hand broke and I lost to the water."
Zhengliuchuan. I learned the hard way that the Japanese sword was derived from the style of my Chinese Tang sword. After development, it became a famous sword. Shuizhengliuchuan only relied on the sharpness of the sword to defeat me. How could I be willing to accept it?"
Ding Yunyi had never heard of this story before, but when he heard Zheng Zhilong narrate it, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
It turned out that after Zheng Zhilong was defeated by Shuizheng Rukawa that day, he searched everywhere for weapons and wanted to take revenge. Later, he finally found a man from Quanzhou, Fujian Province who settled in Japan. He was also the father-in-law of Zheng Zhilong in the future and a great blacksmith who specialized in forging knives for the Lord of Hirado Domain in Japan.
Emperor Yi.
After Emperor Weng Yi learned about Zheng Zhilong's purpose, he wrote a letter and asked him to go to Quanzhou, Fujian, to find his sword-making teacher, Zhu Qianli, a famous sword-smith in China.
Zheng Zhilong rushed back to Fujian and found Zhu Qianli. Zhu Qianli heard that he wanted to make a knife to fight the Japanese, so he didn't say much and took out a piece of "celestial iron" that had fallen from the sky that he had treasured for decades. It took him a year to make it.
A unique sword was forged according to the style of Tang Dao and given to Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong took this sword and returned to Japan. He found the Suizheng Rukawa River again and defeated the descendant of the Japanese Aizu Itto style. He became famous in Kyushu, Japan. Later, he was appreciated by the Japanese overseas Chinese pirate Li Dan, and he recruited his followers and became Li Dan's disciple.
His right-hand man started his own business.
Hearing this, Ding Yunyi finally understood. The so-called "Heavenly Iron" is probably "Meteorite". However, Zheng Zhilong defeated the descendant of Japan's famous Aizu Itto-ryu with Tang sword, which can be regarded as a great achievement.
"I later named this knife 'Dragon Tooth'." Zheng Zhilong glanced at Ding Yunyi: "Do you know what Dragon Tooth is?"
Ding Yunyi shook his head honestly, and Zheng Zhilong smiled: "In ancient mythology, there are three evil weapons in the world, one dragon fang, two tiger wings, and three dog gods. They were owned by Xia Jie at the end of summer, and then the tyranny began. The ancient three
The sword was enshrined in the Ancestral Temple of the Xia Dynasty. When Shang Tang invaded the Ancestral Temple of the Xia Dynasty, black clouds covered the sky, ghosts cried and gods howled, the three evil swords of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods turned into three evil winds and struck, and the Shang army was instantly killed and wounded.
Countless. King Tang abandoned his weapon and dismounted, broke into the main hall of the Ancestral Temple alone with the Xuanyuan Golden Sword, and slashed with the sword. The three evil swords were broken into pieces and sealed underground. In the Song Dynasty, the blacksmith Han Qi discovered Shang in a deep mountain.
At the ruins of Chao Tai Temple, the seal was opened and fragments of the three evil swords of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods were obtained. At that time, there was faint black air in the broken iron, which was about to explode when touched. Later, Han Qi and the palace swordsmith worked together to cast it.
It took one year and eight days to cast the three guillotines for subduing the dragon, subduing the tiger, and killing the dog. They were approved by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and stored in Kaifeng Mansion. Bao Zheng, the then Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, became the first holder of the "Three Guillotines of Kaifeng".
Knife man..."
Ding Yunyi felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart as he listened.
The mythical story may not be credible, but seeing that Zheng Zhilong said it so seriously, it seems to be true.
After being shattered by the Xuanyuan Sword thousands of years ago, the three evil weapons were sealed for many years. In the future, they actually became the "Three Guillotines of the Blue Sky" that represent the righteousness of the world. It can be said that everything must turn against itself.
Zheng Zhilong suddenly pulled out half of the "Dragon Tooth" blade. Before it was completely removed from the sheath, there was already a cold light that could not be looked at. There was a sound of exclamation in the big tent.
Most of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates saw this sword for the first time, and everyone was shocked by the light of the sword.
Zheng Zhilong did not pull it out completely, but immediately sheathed the sword and called out in a low voice: "Ding Yunyi, take the sword!"
After saying that, he threw the knife towards Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi caught the sword and was overjoyed. He went to Penghu by himself. He was a sparsely living place. At this time, having a sword like "Dragon Tooth" for self-defense couldn't be better.
Although he didn't understand the true intention of Zheng Zhilong's gift of the knife, he still held the knife and said loudly: "Thank you Shenrong for the gift of the knife. Ding Yunyi will use his 'dragon teeth' to guard Penghu so that the pirates Hongyi dare not face the land of Penghu! Ding Yunyi will always be grateful to Shenrong."
Grace!"
"Good Ding Yunyi!" Zheng Zhilong praised: "Go, go! Your father is upright and upright, but knowing that I will give you a sword to guard the sea, he will not be angry but happy. Don't forget what you said today!"
Ding Yunyi didn't say much, turned back and left the tent.
Zheng Zhilong's generals also stood up and left one after another.
Looking outside the tent, Zheng Zhilong seemed to be smiling but not smiling. At this time, a child of about ten years old came in. He also greeted Zheng Zhilong and asked: "Father, the child wanted to see Long Ya that day but his father refused. Why?"
Father gave Ding Yunyi such a small inspection today?"
Although this child is only ten years old, he speaks like an adult.
Zheng Zhilong stroked his son's head and said: "Mingyan, although Longya is a precious sword, when Zhu Qianli gave me the sword, he once said that it was a vicious sword. If you wear it for a long time, it will definitely hurt the owner.
After I followed Li Dan, in order to gain Li Dan's trust, I sent Li Dan with this knife, and Li Dan died. Later, I followed the great pirate leader Yan Siqi, and continued to use this knife to win his trust. As a result, Yan Siqi was overjoyed after getting the knife, and drank and ate too much.
Unfortunately, he contracted typhoid fever and died at the age of thirty-seven. Both of their deaths were caused by this knife. It's terrible, this is really terrible!"
"Yes, Zheng Sen understands." Zheng Sen lowered his hands and said.
Zheng Zhilong loved his son very much and said with a smile: "Ming Yan, a knife is nothing. If it can achieve great things, what's the harm in losing a mere knife? Do you understand?"
"Zheng Sen understands that big things are always more important than dead things."
