Chapter 833: Transform Vairocana into a Black Sword! [4500]

Boss Kiryu's tone was very calm, but what he said was explosive!
Even Qing Deng, who was well-informed, was stunned by what he heard.

The Yamada Asaemon clan secretly captured people to make medicine - Qing Deng had also heard about this.

He just regarded it as a common urban legend among the people and did not take it seriously.

And now... Mr. Kiryu, the direct descendant of Yamada Asaemon's family, has personally admitted: This is true!
In order to treat important people, innocent people were captured to make medicine... Although it is horrifying, if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that this happened to the shogunate.

After all, this is a regime that regards "keeping the peasants half-dead" as its basic national policy.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo shogunate, once said: The secret of politics is to keep the peasants half-dead.

In feudal times, peasants made up the vast majority of the population.

Therefore, if the peasants are stable, the country will be stable, and if the country is stable, the whole world will be stable.

If farmers live too well, they will easily develop unreasonable desires.

If farmers live a hard life, they will easily rise up in rebellion.

To sum up, by ensuring that farmers' living standards remain at a level where they "will neither starve to death nor be overfed," the long-term stability of the Tokugawa empire can be guaranteed.

Since Tokugawa Ieyasu, "keeping the peasants half-dead" has always been the basic national policy of the Edo Shogunate.

Audience with the emperor to report, helping the countryside...all kinds of weird policies and strange methods not only troubled the daimyo and the common people, they found different ways to trouble the people of the world, just to ensure the prosperity and wealth of the Tokugawa family.

Although extremely cruel, these methods proved to be effective, and the Edo Shogunate became the longest-lasting and most stable samurai regime in Japanese history.

It is not surprising that such a feudal regime that does not take human life seriously forced the Yamada Asaemon family to use living people to make medicine.

After all, they are master and disciple, so Qing Deng and Boss Kiryu are old acquaintances.

Although we cannot use words like "kind" or "amiable" to summarize the character of Mr. Kiryu, there is one thing that Qing Deng is very sure of: he is definitely not the kind of person who is cruel and ruthless and cruel to his people!
Apart from anything else, he would never approve of such a bullshit thing as "sacrificing the lives of innocent people just to cure a big shot."

Discovering that his father was using innocent people to make medicine... Even if Qing Deng used all his imagination, he couldn't imagine how disappointed and upset Boss Kiryu felt at that moment.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Qing Deng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, held his breath, and continued to listen attentively.

At this point, he wouldn't be surprised no matter what Boss Kiryu said.

"Since we are already talking about my life experience, let me also talk about the origin of Vairocana."

Boss Kiryu said as he turned to look at the Vairocana on Qing Deng's waist.

"This knife was designed by my grandfather."

"Although we, Yamada Asaemon, have seen countless swords and are recognized as a master sword appraiser, we have never had a precious sword of our own."

"So, my grandfather referred to the sword-testing data passed down by his ancestors and decided to forge a 'superior sword' that was unrivaled in the world."

"His ideal sword should not only be able to cut through iron like mud, but also be extremely tough."

"The data on knife testing left by our ancestors is so numerous that it can be said that there are countless books."

"My grandfather searched through origami books, exhausted all his efforts, and spent several years to finally complete the design."

[Note: Origami: The file used by the Yamada Asaemon family to record the results of sword tests]

"Then he spent a large sum of money to find a knife maker who could forge this knife."

"In the end, the swordsmith he chose was Shikizaki, who lived in seclusion in the mountains and didn't care about worldly affairs."

"Although this knife designed by my grandfather is perfect, it is also very difficult to forge."

"Even Shikizaki, who is a master of swordsmithing, suffered a lot."

"I don't know exactly how many useless swords Shikizaki forged, but it's at least a thousand."

"Although our family is not as wealthy as a country, we are not short of money."

"But even so, I can't stand this kind of torture."

"In order to forge this sword, grandpa spent all his family wealth."

"Although the process was tortuous, fortunately, the final result was very good."

"After countless setbacks, this unrivaled 'Sumikami Daiyegon' has finally appeared in the world!"

Qing Deng was fascinated by what he heard.

He never expected that this sword that had been with him for so long actually had such a history!

Hearing this, he couldn't help but draw the Vairocana sword from his waist, with the tip of the sword pointing to the sky.

Under the sunlight, the blade glowed with an enchanting purple light.

Boss Kiryu raised his eyes and looked at the smooth blade of Vairocana, his eyes flashing with half nostalgia and half emotion.

"From the steel to the length of the blade, to the curvature of the blade and the width of the handle... every place and every inch of detail is perfect!"

"I guarantee it in the name of Yamada Asaemon - if you were to choose the sword in the world that is the best for slashing, this sword would definitely be among the best, even if it doesn't win first place!"

"Because of its great power, Grandpa named this sword after the title of Vairocana Tathagata."

"It's a pity that it was not included in the collection 'Huai Bao Jian Chi'."

"Otherwise, the order of the 'greatest undertaking' will have to be rearranged."

After hearing this, Qing Deng nodded solemnly in agreement.

The "Kaihokenji" published by the Yamada Asaemon family uses cutting power as the standard for judging swords.

The criterion for judging "the best achievement" is that there is an 8% to 9% probability of being able to directly cut through a human body with one strike.

"Kaihokenshaku" records the swords of 228 swordsmiths in total, of which only 12 are "the best Daiyomo": Nagazene Kotetsu, Nagazene Okimasa, Kiyoseki Kanemoto, Magoroku Kanemoto, Hatsudai Kunikawa, Hatsudai Sukehiro, Hatsudai Tadayoshi, Mutsu-no-kami Nagamichi, Tataraga Nagayuki, Osafune Hidemitsu, Mihara Masie, Osafune Motoshige - all of them are great swords worth thousands or even tens of thousands of gold!

After the "Ikedaya Incident", Souji's sword Kaga Kiyoshi was broken.

Qing Deng originally planned to simply replace her with a "Mosugami Daiyegyo".

However, swords of this level will basically not enter the market. Most of them are collected by wealthy families. They are typically of a price but no demand. Even if you want to buy them, there is no supply.

If we use the standard of "Huaibao Sword Ruler" to identify swords, then there is no doubt that Vairocana is definitely one of the "highest and greatest objects"!
When Qing Deng wielded Vairocana, every time the sword came down, no body would be left intact or broken!

In addition to its ability to cut through iron like mud and its incomparable toughness, what is even more valuable is that it feels amazing!
Whether it is the length and curvature of the blade, the weight of the blade, or the size and width of the handle, it is extremely comfortable.

Qing Deng had never used such a comfortable knife.

After getting used to the Vairocana, holding any other knife feels like "mocking a prosthesis", and it just doesn't feel comfortable no matter how you use it.

It is no exaggeration to say that after receiving this sword, Qingdeng has completely transformed into the shape of Vairocana!
At this time, Boss Kiryu seemed to recall something, paused, and then changed his tone to something meaningful.

"In fact, there is still a chance that this knife can be upgraded to another level."

Upon hearing this, Qing Deng immediately raised his eyebrows and listened carefully.

"There is a very rare type of steel in this world."

"We call it 'Ten Thousand Steel Refinements'"

"As the name suggests, this is a special type of steel that must be forged through thousands of repeated hammerings."

"For a knife maker, this steel is truly a dream steel!"

"The blade forged with this steel is not only extremely sharp, but also extremely hard, and resistant to burning and corrosion."

"Even more amazingly, this steel turns the blade a deep black."

"And this is the 'black knife' that is rarely seen in the world."

"I have considered finding this steel and using it to reforge the blade of Vairocana."

"In this way, Vairocana will be able to become the well-deserved 'Number One Sword in the World'!"

"Unfortunately... 'Wanlian Steel' is very rare."

"I have traveled all over the world for decades, but I have never seen this kind of steel." "As for the black knife, I have seen one."

"The lord's sword is the black sword."

"When we were young, we were always puzzled as to why our lord's sword was black."

“I only know that a very special steel was used, but I don’t know the name of this steel.”

"It was not until I gained more experience that I realized that the sword was forged from 'Ten Thousand Refined Steel'."

"My lord once told me: If I am interested, she can give me her sword so that I can refine the 'Ten Thousand Refined Steel' from it."

"It's obvious that I can't possibly melt down my lord's beloved sword."

"There's nothing I can do..."

"Using the steel of ten thousand times refined to recast the blade of Vairocana - this can only be a wish of mine."

Black Knife - a very cool name.

Just hearing the name makes people feel it is amazing!

Qing Deng didn't know how to forge swords.

However, based on the chemical knowledge he learned in his previous life, he felt that the "Wanlian Steel" mentioned by Boss Kiryu was most likely tungsten steel!
Tungsten steel is a hard alloy, known as the teeth of modern industry, with a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance and corrosion resistance.

In particular, its high hardness and wear resistance remain basically unchanged even at a temperature of 500°C, and it still has a high hardness at 1000°C.

If we can use tungsten steel to forge a sword... it would be incredible! It would be able to completely crush the swords of the same era!
But...to be honest, in the feudal era when iron was still smelted with hammers, Qing Deng found it hard to believe that a blacksmith could make tungsten steel.

Even with tungsten steel, he found it hard to believe that a blacksmith could master this hard alloy that could maintain its hardness even at a high temperature of 1000 degrees.

Although it is hard to believe, Boss Kiryu just said clearly that his lord...that is, Kinoshita Rin, owns a black sword!

In this case, maybe there is indeed a mysterious technology in this era that can produce tungsten steel and use tungsten steel to forge knives.

No matter what, Qing Deng silently memorized the two words "Wanlian Steel" and "Black Knife" in his heart.

Kiryu's story continues:
"After Vairocana appeared in the world, my grandfather regarded this sword as a family heirloom."

"He personally stipulated that only the head of the Yamada Asaemon family could own this sword."

"After grandpa died, the knife was passed to my father."

"Since the emergence of Vairocana, the execution process on the execution ground has become more gentle."

"Because Vairocana is so sharp, in many cases, the victim does not even realize that he has been beheaded, and dies very quickly."

"Because it is the heirloom sword of the 'Executioner Family', it has been stained with the blood of countless criminals, and because of the addition of special materials, the blade glows purple, so it is called the 'Demon Sword'."

"I dare not say whether there is a knife in this world that is sharper and tougher than Vairocana."

"But I dare say that in terms of 'killing people', there is probably no sword in the world that can beat Vairocana's sword!"

"Throughout the four generations of your family, including grandfather, father, me, and you, the number of people who have died under this knife is at least six thousand, if not eight thousand."

When Qing Deng heard this, he couldn't help but ask back:
"Boss Kiryu, you just said that your grandfather personally stipulated that Vairocana can only be passed down to the head of the Yamada Asaemon family."

"If that's the case, then I have no right to own this sword."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the demon sword in his hand.

Boss Kiryu smiled slightly:
"You don't have to worry, Ju-kun."

"Since my father's generation, no one has followed this ancestral rule."

"If we really follow this ancestral rule, I am not qualified to own this sword - I left the family long ago, and I am not the head of the family."

"I won't go into the details."

"Anyway, after I left the family and went through a series of things, I reconciled with my father."

"My father decided to entrust Vairocana to me."

"No matter what, this sword is still the family heirloom of the Yamada Asaemon family."

“So, as I got older, I began to wonder whether I should return Vairocana to the family or entrust it to a trustworthy younger generation.”

"Tachibana-kun, before I met you, I had thought about giving Vairocana to Katsumi."

"This way, we can have the best of both worlds."

"It can both return the knife to the family and put it in the hands of a trustworthy descendant."

"However...however..."

At this point, Mr. Kiryu's tone suddenly dropped.

An expression of sadness that was difficult to conceal appeared on his cheeks.

He half closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After calming down, he continued calmly:
"Perhaps it's because our family committed too many sins of murder, so we got retribution for it."

"Almost every generation suffers from the problem of 'infertility'."

"My father's fertility is already the best in the family. He has two legitimate sons, me and my brother."

"Since the fourth generation, the entire family has been extinct, without a single son."

"As a last resort, I can only adopt a son to inherit the title of the fifth generation."

"From then on, our family continued the practice of 'adopting a child'."

"We will recruit talented swordsmen from all over the world and train them with great care."

"This will not only ensure that the family's incense continues, but also expand the family's knife-testing and medicine-refining business."

"After I left the family, the title of 'Eighth Generation Yamada Asauemon' was inherited by my younger brother, Yamada Asauemon Yoshitomo."

"My brother, like his ancestors, also has the problem of 'infertility'."

"He had no children throughout his life."

"Therefore, he could only follow family tradition and adopt a son."

"He has a lot of adopted sons. At the peak, there were more than a dozen of them."

“While my relationship with my father was difficult, my relationship with my brother was great.”

“I’ve been in constant contact with him.”

"About 20 years ago, I received the news that my younger brother was seriously ill."

"When I hurried back to my hometown in Edo, my brother was barely alive."

“I still remember the scene vividly.”

"My brother used up his last bit of strength, held my hand, and said to me: 'Brother, I will give Keji to you. Please train him carefully. He will definitely become a great swordsman unparalleled in the world.'"

"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi - the last adopted son of his younger brother, and also the one that amazed him the most."

"Keji was originally an orphan adopted by a temple."

“This temple has frequent exchanges with our family.”

"By some chance, my brother met Katsumi in a temple and was impressed by his talent for swordsmanship."
