Kongshan Nianliu, Wushu Hall. On the floor of the hall, including two teachers, more than a dozen people were holding their foreheads and feeling dizzy, rubbing their legs and groaning, or crossing their arms and baring their teeth. Almost all of them were injured.
This one-to-many annihilation battle lasted only a few minutes. Every time Sorayama Kazuyo struck out with his sword, he would hit someone, but no one could touch the corner of his clothes, especially Torataro, who knew firsthand that Sorayama Kazuyo was terrifying and he looked for opportunities.
He made a sneak attack, but was kicked out of the hall and rolled around in the corridor several times.
Kazuyo Sorayama pointed his sword at Kira and said: "In the future practice, you should take half an inch more every time you take a step. Your moves are not bad, but you are too cautious. What you need to practice is your courage. You must know that when a swordsman draws a sword,
If you are either dead or injured, it is better to carry a hoe and cultivate the land if you are afraid of being chopped down."
Then he pointed at Torataro, "Every time you draw the sword, you must save seven points of strength. At most, you can only use three points of force. One point more will not work. What you need to practice is restraint. If you can't do it, just abandon the sword and learn stick skills."
Go." "And you..."
Although Sorayama Kazuyo's words were quite a blow to his self-esteem, every time he pointed to someone, that person would kneel down respectfully on the floor and listen carefully. Until Sorayama Kazuyo finished pointing out everyone, there was no one in the hall except the curator Ohno.
No one outside the house dared to look up at him.
People who practice swordsmanship are accustomed to worshiping and obeying the strong, and they even hope to receive guidance from the strong. In this era, defeated challengers are often impressed by the techniques of the school and willingly stay and become official swordsmen.
Disciple, or at least practice in the dojo for a period of time to improve your swordsmanship.
Therefore, no matter how harsh Sorayama Kazuha's actions were or how harsh his words were, not only did everyone not feel any resentment, but they also respected him more and more.
Kazuyo Sorayama was no stranger to the role of a kendo master, and could even be said to be quite familiar with it. However, it had been a long, long time since he had taught disciples in the dojo, and it had been so long that he had almost forgotten this feeling.
However, the moves of these disciples gave him a vague sense of familiarity. You must know that each school has its own uniqueness. Even a simple way of holding a sword can be subdivided into hundreds of styles, not to mention
The pace, the eight phases, and even the core concept.
For example, the key points emphasized by the famous Edo sect Hokushin Itto-ryu are: "the instantaneous unity of mind and power", the Yagyu Shinin-ryu's "do not kill, nor be killed", the Kashin Akechi-ryu's "position", and the Shinto Muken-ryu's "
"Strength", the "disease" of natural Rishin flow...
So, where did the martial arts practiced by these disciples come from? Is it the predecessor of the school I practiced in the contemporary era? Impossible. My original school is clearly recorded. Who passed it to each generation, who is the clan, and even
It’s very clear what other schools of martial arts you have practiced. There is no such thing as the so-called Kongshan Nianliu!
Rather than being like my previous school, it is more like my own kendo philosophy: avoid parrying and kill with one strike!
Even the subtle movements of the sword are similar to his own style, as if he had taught these people martial arts. But how could it be possible! He had just been introduced to this world today, which made Kazuyo Sorayama wonder about his sister.
.
As the curator and the leader of a sect, Ohno Fuji has the responsibility to maintain the dignity of the sect. Therefore, he did not leave the competition even though he knew that he was far from the opponent in martial arts. He could not leave the competition easily because either he won or continued.
Preach; or fail, the school will die, and there is no third way!
It doesn't matter if the challenger is a long-established swordsman. Even if he loses, his identity will not be affected, but just like the Kazusawa who will come to challenge tomorrow. And Sorayama Kazuha under the hall is much younger than himself, and his reputation is even higher.
It's far less loud than Serizawa Duck, so I can't take action easily.
In fact, he has discovered from the respectful attitude of his disciples towards Sorayama Kazuha that if Sorayama Kazuha now shouted "I want to start a sect", it is estimated that except for his two inner disciples Torataro and Kira, all other disciples would hesitate.
They will all choose to follow.
Looking at Kazuha Sorayama in the field teaching martial arts to his disciples, Ohno Fuji couldn't help but think back to his master. At that time, Sorayama Kazuha was still prosperous, but when it spread to his own generation, alas...he secretly sighed.
, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency Kongshan, thank you for teaching me the martial arts of my disciples. I am deeply grateful. I have a heartless request, and I hope that your Excellency will accept it."
Kazuyo Sorayama nodded and said: "You don't have to be polite, please tell me." "Can you stay in the dojo for a while? I also want to learn more about martial arts with you, please." Kazuyo Kuyama is a carefree person at first.
It's okay for an idler to stay here for a few days. Besides, he also has many questions to ask.
"Okay, I also want to thank you again for saving my life and donating clothes." Kazuyo Sorayama bowed politely and replied.
"Great!" The disciples looked excited, especially the two masters Torataro and Kira. They have personal experience of Sorayama Kazuha's martial arts. There are not many such masters in Japan, not to mention Edo.
Come on! Even if you just gave me a few casual suggestions, I felt that I had benefited a lot. If I could stay in the gym and become the highest teacher, wouldn't it be...
Ohno Fuji also looked happy, and after instructing the two teachers to lead their disciples to practice diligently, he led Kazuyo Sorayama towards the depths of the gym.
The old and mottled walls show that the dojo has a long history, while the slightly dilapidated roof and ground show that the current operating conditions of the dojo are not ideal.
"Since Your Excellency Sorayama doesn't want to reveal his origins, it's inconvenient for me to ask. However, with your martial arts skills, there are only a few people in Japan, and their background is obviously extraordinary." There was no questioning in Ohno Fuji's tone, and he was honest and reliable.
Faces make people more likely to feel trustworthy.
Kazuyo Sorayama still had a calm expression, "The curator thinks highly of me."
Ohno Fuji shook his head, obviously hearing that this was the most obvious polite word from Kazuyo Sorayama. He smiled bitterly: "I have been learning swordsmanship for more than thirty years, but my talent is not very good. The teacher thinks that I am generous and reliable.
The martial arts school passed down to me that those brothers with higher martial arts skills than me would either serve in other vassals or establish their own sects. I originally thought I could pass on my sect, but the times were turbulent and my cultivation level was different from the hundreds of dojos in Edo.
It's really normal, I don't know how long it can last."
Kazuyo Sorayama listened quietly to Ohno Fuji's confession, slightly surprised. He was just a stranger, and his attitude towards the dojo could not be said to be friendly. Why would he say this to himself? You must know that if these words spread, no matter whether it is a stranger or a sect.
The curator himself is very disadvantageous.
In fact, not only Kazuyo Sorayama, but even the curator Ohno Fuji did not know why he told the other party this. He always had an inexplicable trust, or rather a sense of dependence, for Kazuyo Sorayama, just like facing his seniors? How is that possible?
! He shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away this absurd thought, "Maybe he is disturbed by tomorrow's competition..." This is what he thought.
"By the way, curator, what year is this?" "Ah? In the second year of Jiayong [1849], Sir Sorayama, what's wrong with you?"
By the way, which year is the second year of Kaei? Forget it, it doesn't matter. "Oh, I just forgot for a moment. Director Ohno, didn't you say you wanted to compete with me in martial arts?"
After hearing Kazuyo Sorayama's question, Ono Fuji stopped worrying about those troublesome issues. He suddenly walked a few steps to Kazuyo Sorayama, bowed solemnly and said: "Your Excellency Sorayama, please forgive me for being presumptuous. It's true, it's true.
...Can you please serve as the top teacher of our school, even if it is for a few months, no, even if it is for a few days. Please!"
Kazuyo Sorayama looked at Ohno Fuji with a shameful expression in front of him in surprise. He was a bit dumbfounded. What is this?
He said helplessly: "Director Ono, is this too childish..."
"Please! Although this request is really rude, this is the only way we can save our stream and the dojo." Ohno Fuji saw that Sorayama Kazuha meant to refuse, so he knelt down on the ground without saying anything and nodded with his head.
, which means that if you don’t agree, you won’t get up.
"Why? Give me a reason." Kazuyo Sorayama said this rather arrogant and unreasonable statement again.
"Tomorrow, I have agreed to a trial match with the Shinto Muken-ryu master Sasai Serika. I have refused several times before. On the one hand, I do not want to conflict with this prominent sect, and on the other hand, I am really not sure of winning. But Nasori
Sawaga has been openly mocking me for thinking that the flow is the 'Flower Step Sword Technique'. If this continues, our sect will lose its reputation!" Ohno Fuji raised his head and looked at Sorayama Kazuha with hope.
But Sorayama Kazuyo said something coldly that made his whole body run cold: "That is your Excellency's business and has nothing to do with me."
Kazuyo Sorayama has never been interested in this kind of assistance, even if the other party is a master of Shinto Muken-ryu. So what if Kazuyo Sorayama knows nothing about history?
The famous figure who would later become the leader of the Shinsengumi thought it was just a challenge between ordinary swordsmen.
Moreover, he has often fought against masters of this school. With his level of swordsmanship, even Saito Yakuro, the current leader of Shinto Muken-ryu, is probably no match for him.
Kazuha Sorayama was just about to get around Ohno Fuji who was kneeling down, but he saw the other party saying loudly with a hint of determination in his tangled voice: "Your Excellency Sorayama, although our sect is weak and cannot bring out large sums of money, I, Sorayama,
The 300-year inheritance of Xiangliu is not a wasted reputation. If you agree, I would like to dedicate my famous sword passed down to you as a gift."
"Oh?" Another sword gift!
In the previous world, he was given a famous sword, but he was transported to this so-called Kaei 2nd year without even taking it out of its sheath. The things outside his body have no appeal to the current Kazuyo Sorayama, no matter what the famous sword or sword is.
, it’s something that can’t be taken away anyway. Who knows when this ghost world will end?
There is no hint of what world we are in now, so what conditions must be met? Kazuyo Sorayama pondered.
Seeing Kazuyo Sorayama stop, Ohno Fuji felt happy. Sure enough, there is no swordsman who doesn't like famous swords! Although Ohno, as the leader of the clan, was extremely reluctant to give up this sword, which is equivalent to the symbol of the sect, but in the sect,
When he was about to lose his insurance, he couldn't care about so much anymore!
Forgive me, Sorayama has long missed his senior sect leader! Ohno Fuji had tears in his eyes, and shouted with a choked voice: "Exactly, I would like to offer the symbol of my sect, Bizen Nagasaki Captain Hikari!"
