Chapter 1490 Beichen is a knife and kicks the hall
Hokushin Itto-ryu appeared relatively late in Japan's kendo world. It has only been more than a hundred years since Chiba Shusaku, the leader of the style, created the school. Compared with many kendo schools, it is a rising star. Compared with Chujo Ittou-ryu,
The ancient schools are even more incomparable and do not belong to the same era at all.
But it is undeniable that Beichen Itto-ryu is the most famous kendo school in Japan now.
The reason why Hookushin Itto-ryu is famous is, firstly, because it has the greatest influence, has the most disciples, and has the largest number of branch dojos across the country and overseas. Secondly, Chiba Musashi, the leader of Beichen Itto-ryu, is the only one in Japan according to official records.
A master of the ninth level of swordsmanship, he has never suffered a defeat since his debut!
Hokatsu Itto Ryu has many dojos. The oldest of these dojos is the Genbukan, which was also founded by Chiba Shusaku, the founder of Hokatsu Itto Ryu. Genbukan is actually the main altar of Hokushin Itto Ryu. It was originally in Edo and later moved to Kanda.
, but after hundreds of years of evolution, Xuanwu Hall has already become a spiritual symbol.
Currently, the most influential dojo of Beichen Itto-ryu is Shinbukan in Tokyo.
Shinbukan was founded ten years ago by Chiba Musashi, the leader of this generation of Beichen Ittōryu.
By the way, Chiba Musashi, the leader of Beichen Ittōryu, is still only thirty years old!
…
It has entered early June, and the weather in Tokyo is already very hot.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, but the eight samurai wearing kimonos standing outside the gate of Zhenwu Hall still kept their bodies upright. Behind the eight samurai was a tall archway.
"Beichen Yidaoliu" is written in five large golden characters on it. There are sixteen steps under the archway, which is very grand.
Just these eight warriors and this gate archway are enough to show the magnificence of Beichen's Itto Style.
Pedestrians passing by on the street also stopped one after another, pointing at the door arch and showing admiration. The eight warriors guarding the door invariably raised their chests higher.
At this time, a sound of kicking wooden shoes suddenly came.
A samurai turned his head as if by mistake, and saw a tall ronin walking on wooden shoes, walking towards them step by step along the street. The ronin was wearing an old kimono, but it was washed very clean, which was the most attractive thing.
What attracts attention are the two swords, one long and one short, inserted into his waist.
Obviously, this is also a swordsman!
Seeing this ronin approaching, pedestrians on the street started to avoid him.
The ronin quickly walked to the gate of Zhenwu Hall and stood at the bottom of the sixteen steps.
"Hey!" A samurai standing on the lowest step glared at Ronin with fierce eyes and shouted sternly, "This is Beichen Itto Ryu. It is not a place where anyone can come and act wild. You should leave immediately! Otherwise, you will die.
Damn it!"
The ronin turned a deaf ear and said expressionlessly: "Beichen Yi Dao Liu? Yo Xi, this is it."
This ronin is none other than Xu Rui, who specially comes to play games. Oh yes, his name is Nakajo Shuichi now.
The reason why Nakamura Shun planned this good show was to find a perfect identity for Xu Rui. Now that the identity of the contemporary descendant of the Nakajo Itto style has been prepared, Xu Rui should next be the Nakajo Shuichi.
I will challenge the kendo masters from all over Japan one by one.
After completing this round of challenges and Nakajo Shuichi gaining status in the kendo world, Xu Rui's identity will be no problem.
Nakamura Shun just wants Xu Rui to have a good status in the Japanese kendo world, not too low, but not too outstanding.
But Xu Rui didn't think so. He directly rejected Nakamura Shun's suggestion and went directly to Chiba Musashi, the top swordsman in Japan today!
Xu Rui will step on Chiba Musashi's body and ascend to the throne of the number one swordsman in Japan!
Nakamura Shun was full of doubts about this. If he provoked Chiba Musashi from the beginning, would the impact be too great? Once Xu Rui becomes a public figure in Japan, he will be observed under the microscope by various media.
At that time, his identity and origin will be severely tested. If there is even the slightest flaw in the process, it will be a big trouble.
But Xu Rui doesn't think so. He urgently needs this kind of influence now.
Because the greater his influence, the easier it is for him to attract Hirohito's attention, and maybe he will have a chance to get close to Hirohito! As long as he gets within ten steps of Hirohito, he will have a chance to let Hirohito die silently.
Xu Rui will not let go of this opportunity no matter what, so he urgently needs such influence.
Nakamura Shun only has the right to make suggestions and not to make decisions. In the end, he could only listen to Xu Rui.
But in this way, Nakamura Jun will not be able to have too much interaction with Nakajo Shuichi. This is also to protect Nakamura Jun. After all, Xu Rui will not stay in Japan for too long. After completing the mission, he will leave for home immediately, but Nakamura
Xu Rui still hopes to keep Jun Jun's intelligence line.
That's how Xu Rui approached Beichen Yi Dao Liu alone.
After seeing Xu Rui being warned, instead of turning around and leaving, he instead showed a provocative expression. The other seven warriors on the steps also turned their heads to look over. If it were someone else, they would be stared at with eager eyes by eight warriors with swords on their waists.
Although his scalp had been numb for a long time, Xu Rui didn't feel anything at all, so he raised his legs and stepped onto the steps.
The warrior who had just warned him immediately became angry, shouted and rushed towards Xu Rui.
The samurai didn't draw his sword, and Xu Rui didn't draw his sword either. Although he wanted to kill people, he even wanted to kill all the Japanese in Tokyo, but that didn't work. Before the primary task was completed, he couldn't create any extra problems.
After killing Hirohito, you can let go and kill.
In an instant, their bodies collided with each other.
Xu Rui simply shrank his shoulders and easily relieved the opponent's fist. Then he stepped forward and hit his opponent's exhausted fist with his shoulder. The opponent's warrior immediately felt a violent force.
on his fist, and then rolled back along his arm. The next moment, the warrior's entire body flew back.
"Bah!" After flying several meters, the warrior's body fell heavily on the steps.
The fall was so severe that the warrior couldn't get up for a long time after he landed. When the seven warriors next to him saw this, instead of stepping forward to help him, they all looked disgusted.
Xu Rui smiled ferociously and took the second step up.
"Hey!" This time, two warriors came forward together.
Obviously, these little devils have also realized that the eight of them here are no match for this ronin alone, so they can only win with more.
At this time, Xu Rui no longer had any patience.
As a result, Xu Rui didn't care at all what tricks the two little devils were using, but just lowered his shoulders slightly, and then suddenly stretched out his arms, like a horizontal rolling log, towards the two rushing down.
The samurai slammed into him violently, and the two samurai were unable to dodge. They were knocked upright in an instant, and screamed and flew backwards.
"Bah!" The two unlucky guys fell down next to their companion who had fallen to the ground at the same time.
The remaining five warriors looked at each other and finally showed surprise. Then they drew out their swords at the same time, howling, and rushed down towards Xu Rui like a swarm of swarms.
…
Chiba Nishijiro is the cousin of Chiba Musashi and has the eighth degree of kendo.
Therefore, in normal times, Chiba Musashi would not come forward to teach his disciples at all. This kind of thing would usually be done by his cousin Chiba Nishijiro.
After waking up at noon that day, Chiba Nishijiro went to the practice hall as usual, preparing to teach his disciples how to practice swordsmanship.
But at this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the direction of the entrance of the martial arts gym in front, and there were also faint scoldings and screams from the gatekeepers. Chiba Nishijiro's brows immediately frowned slightly. Who could be like this?
How dare you dare to come to Beichen Yida Ryu's real martial arts hall to act wild? Are you tired of living?
However, Chiba Nishijiro relied on his status and did not intend to go out to intervene. He should leave such small matters to the disciples guarding the gate. I believe they can handle it well.
At that moment, Chiba Nishijiro calmed down and continued to instruct his disciples who were practicing swordsmanship.
However, as the trees tried to be quiet but the wind stopped, the noise at the gate became louder and louder, and there was even the sound of weapons clashing.
Is it time to go under the knife? Chiba Nishijiro's brows became more and more frowned, but he couldn't sit idly by now. If he used the knife, someone might die. Although there are no legal consequences for killing someone in a martial arts contest, but if someone dies,
The disciples of Beichen's Yidao style are not doing well, so we might as well go out and see what's going on?
At that moment, Chiba Nishijiro led a large group of disciples and came straight to the gate of the martial arts gym.
The area of Beichen Itto-ryu's Zhenwu Hall is quite large. There are three courtyards in total. The last courtyard is the retreat room for the leader Chiba Musashi and some elite disciples. The second courtyard is the sword practice place and dormitory for the disciples. The last courtyard is
When you enter the courtyard outside, there is a reception room, a showroom and a special dojo for competitions.
Chiba Nishijiro led a large group of disciples and just passed through the patio of the second entrance courtyard. Two disciples wearing black training uniforms were thrown in from the second gate like sandbags. They landed with a thud, but fell right on the ground.
At Chiba Nishijiro's feet, seeing the two disciples rolling on the ground in pain, Chiba Nishijiro's mouth became angry.
"Baga!" Chiba Nishijiro said angrily, "Who dares to come to Beichen and run wild with a sword?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall ronin appeared on the steps of the second gate, folded his arms and said: "Nakajo Ittōryu, Nakajo Shuichi! Come challenge the leader of Beichen Ittōryu, Chiba Musashi!"
"Nakajo Itto-ryu?" Chiba Nishijiro's face changed slightly when he heard this.
As a samurai, how could Nishijiro Chiba not know Chujo Ittōryu, the ancestor of Ittōryu kendo? However, wasn’t the tradition of Chujo Ittōryu discontinued long ago? How come there are still successors?
