It was just dawn, the first tram had just appeared on the street, and the breakfast vendors had just started to set up the stoves. Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng joined forces and took to the street. At this time, the two of them were already dressed in ronin makeup. In order to cover up
Due to their identities, both of them could only hold their noses and put on their kimonos, step on their wooden shoes, and insert two tachis, one long and one short, on their waists.
What made the two of them even more distressed was that their hair was twisted and Zhang Dayang moved his hands.
Compared with the short Japanese people around them, tall people like Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng are very conspicuous. In addition, the two of them are dressed in ronin makeup, so wherever they pass by, pedestrians all look sideways.
The patrolman in black police uniform cast a wary look at the two of them, because it was this kind of rogue with a knife who loved to cause trouble.
However, no police came forward to question him because there were too many ronin like this in Tokyo.
Moreover, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng are not afraid of the police coming forward for questioning, because they are not their true colors now.
In addition, there have been no major cases in Tokyo recently, and the police cannot inquire too deeply, so Zhang Dayang's temporary identity for them is enough to cope with it. Not only Tokyo, but in fact, the whole of Japan is not vigilant at this time.
High, because there are almost no danger factors that could threaten the Japanese mainland.
The two had breakfast on the street, and then took the tram to Tulip Town according to the route left by Zhang Dayang. A Japanese town is equivalent to a township or town in China. It is an administrative unit one level lower than the urban area. At this time, Tokyo
Of course, it is impossible to have the prosperity of that era when Xu Rui traveled through time.
In the era when Xu Rui traveled back in time, the population of the Tokyo Bay Area could match the current total population of Japan.
Therefore, in Tokyo at this time, there were still large areas of wilderness and forests, as well as villages scattered among them. The Fukuchi Village the two of them were looking for was such a village.
The two first took the tram to Tulip Town, and then took a passing farmer's ox cart to Fukuchi Village. The Fukuchi Village farmers who were working in the fields on the roadside were very curious about the sudden arrival of the two ronin, and they stopped one after another.
He even came forward to ask the two of them why.
Knowing that the two came to compete with the ronin at the village entrance shrine, these farmers showed a look of surprise on their faces, and then enthusiastically gave them directions, saying that the shrine where the ronin stayed was at the entrance of their village, and as long as they walked along this
You can see it within five miles of the dirt road, and they said that the ronin must be practicing his sword in the open space in front of the shrine at this time.
"Hai." The two thanked the farmer who showed them the way, and then continued walking along the dirt road.
Just as the farmer said, after walking less than five miles and passing through a forest, a dilapidated shrine appeared in the field of vision ahead. The national religion of Japan is Shintoism, and shrines are houses used to worship Shinto gods.
, to put it bluntly, a shrine is a place dedicated to the so-called Amaterasu, which has almost the same meaning as the Guandi Temple and Confucius Temple in China.
The shrine in sight should belong to Fukuchi Village. The reason why the villagers of Fukuchi Village reported to the government was probably to drive away the ronin who occupied their shrine. After all, this ronin not only occupied the shrine, but also definitely wanted to
Stealing the offerings they made to worship Amaterasu, the two sides might even have fought each other.
Then, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng saw a tall ronin.
What Ronin practiced was just the simplest sword-drawing posture, and one stop lasted half a day.
The ronin stood in the open space at the entrance of the shrine with his back to the woods. His hair was disheveled and his kimono was dirty. A sour smell could be smelled from a distance. It made people want to vomit. Leng Tiefeng quickly held his breath.
Damn it, how long has it been since you took a shower? How long did it take for you to smell like this? Xu Rui still had that cold expression on his face.
At this time, Ronin, who had his back to the two of them, suddenly noticed something and tilted his head slightly.
Ronin just tilted his head slightly, and did not really turn his head, let alone turn around. However, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng felt that they had been enveloped by a faint aura, as if they only needed to take one more step forward.
He would immediately be attacked by the fiercest attack. Leng Tiefeng's heart suddenly sank. Is he really a master of swordsmanship?
Leng Tiefeng turned to look at Xu Rui again, and Xu Rui nodded gently.
"Hai!" Leng Tiefeng imitated the Japanese, he gave his head a heavy bow, and then he drew out the long tachi, and then drew a semicircle with the Ronin in front who had his back turned to him as the center of the circle, and walked step by step to that place.
The Ronin's front view. After more than ten seconds, Leng Tiefeng finally faced the Ronin face to face and saw the Ronin's face clearly.
It's just that I didn't see it, because except for a pair of sharp eyes, the rest of his face was hidden among the weed-like messy hair and beard. However, this ronin's eyes were really sharp, and he glanced at Leng Tiefeng.
At that moment, he actually felt that the temperature around him seemed to have cooled down in an instant.
Then the two fell into a long confrontation.
The confrontation lasted for five minutes. In the end, Xu Rui gave the signal. Leng Tiefeng finally gave a low shout, raised his sword high, and rushed towards Ronin. When the two were still more than two meters apart, Leng Tiefeng violently kicked his right foot.
As soon as he kicked off the ground, his entire long body jumped high into the air, and then, using the inertia of the human body's fall, he slashed down with his sword.
Leng Tiefeng's slash was as powerful as thunder and cunning. It was a life-saving style of giving up defense and using all his strength to seize the power. This is highly consistent with the true meaning of Japanese kendo. The true meaning of Japanese kendo is to seize the opportunity to be killed by the enemy.
Previously, I killed the enemy, but this is the so-called one-sword style, killing the enemy with one sword!
"Hey!" Leng Tiefeng raised his sword and slashed it down fiercely.
Almost at the same time that Leng Tiefeng slashed the sword down, the ronin also pulled out the sword from the sheath at lightning speed.
A good knife, the coldness on the blade seems to condense into substance at any time. What's even more rare is that there are stacks and stacks of wavy patterns on both sides of the blade. It is obvious that this is a sword made by Baidu Steel.
, the wavy pattern left on the blade is the result of hundreds of forgings. It is definitely a rare and good knife.
In a flash of lightning, the two knives struck each other suddenly in the air.
"Light, ding!" There was a clear sound of gold and iron, followed by the soft groan of metal breaking.
With just one blow, the sword in Leng Tiefeng's hand was broken into two pieces. At the critical moment of life and death, Leng Tiefeng twisted his body violently, then slumped his shoulders and shrank his waist, barely escaping the sword that Ronin slashed at him by a hair.
It was only by a small margin that he was not disemboweled. After retreating more than ten steps, Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
After all, Leng Tiefeng is not good at swordsmanship, and he almost capsized in the gutter just now.
Looking back, the ronin's sword had been sheathed, and he had no intention of pursuing him.
"My skills are good, but my sword is a bit weak." After Ronin finished speaking, his hawk-like gaze turned to Xu Rui, and he added, "Next time, remember to bring a good sword."
Xu Rui ignored Ronin, shook his head slightly at Leng Tiefeng, and said, "Open the way."
"Hai!" Leng Tiefeng paused slightly and returned to Xu Rui in disgrace.
Ronin did not stop the two from leaving, but continued to practice the sword-drawing gesture at the beginning, as if nothing had happened, and soon he was immersed in his own world again.
On the way back to Nagata Town, Leng Tiefeng could not calm down for a long time.
"Old Xu, this little devil is a master." Leng Tiefeng said with lingering fear.
"I know, this is a sword fanatic!" Xu Rui nodded expressionlessly.
The Kazuto tribe is really a weird nation, so there are often many weird people, and the most well-known among them is the idiot, crazy about chess, crazy about swords, and of course the famous crazy guy on trains.
In order to hone their chess skills, those chess fanatics can actually spend a lifetime traveling all over Japan with a pair of chessboards and a pair of Go games on their backs, just to ask for advice from various masters; while those sword fanatics just want to practice drawing a sword.
If you use this technique, you can practice drawing swords in the abyss alone for decades, and never regret it until you grow old!
This ronin from Fudi Village is obviously a swordsman! The reason why he lives in anonymity and slovenly in Fudi Village is probably just to practice the sword-drawing style!
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "I'm talking about his swordsmanship!"
"I know." Xu Rui's face was still expressionless and he said coldly, "His swordsmanship has surpassed the ninth level and entered the level of a swordsman!"
In Japan's kendo realm, the entry level is the first dan, and the highest level is the 9th dan. But in fact, there are swordsmen above the 9th dan, just like there is the purple belt 10th dan above the 9th dan in judo, and to a certain extent, swordsmen are
The gap between the 9th Dan in Kendo is greater than the gap between the 9th Dan in Judo and the 10th Dan Purple Belt.
In other words, this ronin is even more terrifying than Abe Takashi.
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, I am suddenly not optimistic about this trip to Tokyo."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "Old Xu, think about it. In such a small and small village, there is such a terrible master of swordsmanship. You can imagine the imperial palace of little devil Hirohito. Then there is no such thing as a master."
Yun? It doesn’t take much, five sword masters like this are enough for us to drink a pot.”
"Veteran, you are overthinking." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "There are not more than three such swordsmen in Japan."
"No more than three?" Leng Tiefeng said doubtfully, "Are you so lucky? There are no more than three swordsmen in Japan, and you met them all at once?"
Xu Rui didn't answer the question and said coldly: "This kid's swordsmanship is pretty good, but it would be easy for me to kill him."
"Really?" Leng Tiefeng still didn't believe it, and added, "You activated the bloodthirsty secret technique when you killed Abe Gangyi. This little devil is even more powerful than Abe Gangyi, but you said it was easy to kill him?"
"The situation is different." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "The main purpose of killing Abe Gangyi at Ten Thousand Horse Crossing was to save people, so I could only activate the bloodthirsty secret technique, but now I don't have any worries."
