In the end, he went down to inspect Master Wang's corpse. In the end, he sat down on the sofa, lit up a cigarette, and said that Master Wang could not blame anyone else but himself.
The words of the Master Chen made us all look at each other in dismay. We didn't know what it meant, and what did it mean to us was that we can't blame others for our own death.
Seeing our doubtful gaze, Master Chen could only continue to explain, ”Look at Master Wang's posture, this is not killing him, but suicide.”
Hearing this, we were even more confused. Even if Master Wang committed suicide, he shouldn't have come to our house to commit suicide, right?
”You mean this knife?” But I also guessed a little of Master Chen's meaning and immediately asked.
The Master Chen nodded his head and then explained it to me once more. He said that this blade is very evil and that some people would be fine with it, but to some people, it is a lethal weapon. Master Wang was also obsessed with wealth and stole the blade while he was sleeping, but he never thought that he would end up getting killed by the blade.
”Since this blade is so dangerous, why do you want it so much?” I asked what I had always been wondering. He obviously wanted this blade so much. If it was so dangerous, who would want it?
”This is very easy to explain, it's like a blade, giving the blade to a professional soldier, then he will be a weapon to kill the enemy, causing the enemy to feel scared, but if you give the blade to a three year old child to play with, then it might hurt himself, so this blade, in your case, is a disaster, but in my case, it's a good thing, aiya, the only thing I can do is for my junior nephew, the Cultivation Level can't go home, so he can't control it …” The Master Chen explained.
Master Chen's words made us understand, but I still have a lot of questions. Cultivation Level would die if they don't go home, but we're fine too, why would my grandfather give me the blade? I don't believe that my grandfather would want to harm me.
”Master Chen, you kept on talking about sabers. Then what is the origin of this sabre? Why is it so evil?” I chose the question that I wanted to know the most about. I asked Master Chen, and right now, the most important thing is this sabre.
They also wanted to know the origin of this blade. My father also added a few words to tell Master Chen that my grandfather had always carried this blade on his body, but it was never used to kill pigs. It was extremely strange, but whatever the origin of the blade was, Grandfather never said anything about it.
Speaking of the history of the Pig Slaughtering Knife, Master Chen asked me if I knew who the chef's ancestor was.
I shook my head. I really didn't know, but I knew that the Pig Slaughtering Craftsman's ancestor was Zhang Fei. This was what my grandfather had told me since I was young.
Then, Master Chen told me that the chef's founder was named Yi Ya, who was from the Qi Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period, and because he was well-versed in cooking, he received the favor of the Qi Kingdom's Qi Heng wife, Wei Gongji. Furthermore, he was the first person in history to open a private restaurant, so he was called the chef's founder.
Yi Ya, cook, I understand his words. Someone who can even kill his son, this guy is really ruthless.
The Master Chen continued to explain to us, saying that because Yi Ya had been selected by Qi Heng, he was told jokingly that he had gotten fed up with the delicacies of mountains and seas. He then heard that the human meat was extremely delicious and he was asked Yi Ya if he knew how to make human meat.
”Master Chen, you aren't going to tell me that this blade is related to Yi Ya's cooking story, is it the one that killed his son?” After I heard this, I screamed out in shock. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? But it has been over two thousand years. Is it possible? This blade looks bright, without any signs of rust.
”No rush, listen to what I have to say first. After Yi Ya cooked, he was even chosen by Qi Heng, and after that, Qi Heng didn't listen to Guan Zhong and used Yi Ya as a guest after he died, but Yi Ya's nature changed drastically and blocked the entrance of the palace when Qi Heng passed away, causing Qi Heng to starve to death in the palace. After that, when Qi Heng lost his will politically, Yi Ya did not disappear, but many people thought that Son of Yi Ya died with grievances, and that his death had influenced Guan Zhong's fate, and thus, the blade became the Evil Blade.” The Master Chen explained again.
”Even if this blade was the one Yi Ya used to kill his son, how did it end up in my Great Grandpa? And why did my Great Grandpa give it to my grandfather? Isn't this trying to kill my grandfather?” I immediately asked myself this question.
The Master Chen couldn't explain this either, how the blade came to be passed down, and how it appeared in my Great Grandpa's hands, no one could tell, including my father, whether the blade was my grandmother's dowry or what he heard about it when he was young. My grandfather and grandmother never told about it, so it became another mystery.
