Chapter 154 The Li faction and the outward faction of the empty mountain stream
The moonlight fell on the floor of the martial arts hall, illuminating half of Sorayama Ichiyo's body. He sat cross-legged and meditated every day. When martial arts reached his level, hard training had no effect on improving his cultivation.
, you can only maintain your physical condition so as not to fall.
Ohno Fuji stood quietly at the door, breathing as softly as possible so as not to disturb Kazuyo Sorayama's practice. He had many things to ask, but he didn't dare to go in rashly. Katsura Kogoro, who was inseparable from Kazuyo Sorayama, also followed suit
With the exact same posture, he sat on the floor in the corridor at the door with his eyes closed and meditating.
"Come in." Hearing Kazuyo Sorayama's voice, the two looked at each other, walked in and knelt down opposite each other. "Ohno, is something okay?"
"That's right, senior. The number of disciples in the gym has increased dramatically in the past few days, but they are all here in the name of senior. I wonder if you could spare some time to teach them."
"That's all? Okay, I will teach you tomorrow. Don't worry, unless you encounter unavoidable circumstances, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"Thank you, senior, thank you so much, senior." Ohno Fuji was quite pleasantly surprised. Originally, as a gift from Captain Hikari, he asked Sorayama Kazuha to help overcome the trial crisis and stay in the gym for a few months to guide him. At first, he felt a little distressed.
The heirloom treasure was forced to be given away, but when Ichiyo Sorayama gradually revealed his cultivation as a swordsman, he now felt that this small gift could not keep this fake "senior of our sect."
As a veteran swordsman, although Ono Fuji's martial arts skills are not top-notch, he is very experienced. He knows that as a sword master, as long as Sorayama Ippa opens his mouth, countless famous names who want to ask for them, and the famous swords given by wealthy merchants can defeat this person.
The hall is full of pavilions. After all, swords of this level are rare, but as long as you are willing to put in a lot of effort, you can find dozens or hundreds of them without any problem. Even after giving a generous gift, you don’t need to do anything, just ask for it.
There are also a lot of people who meet each other and form a good relationship.
"Kogoro, what about you? What's the problem today?"
"Teacher, Chiba Sana said that the move you used to defeat Eitaro Chiba with bare hands was the 'Muxiang Sword'. According to the disciple's understanding, the Muxiang Sword has always been the secret of Itto-ryu and has been lost for a long time. Could it be that you re-created it?"
?"
"Haha, that's right, but it's not a mystery. When you reach my level, you will basically know that those secrets are just ways to use the sword and the body. So even if I teach you, you won't need it.
You need to learn it over a long period of time based on your own swordsmanship and body."
So far, Ichiyo Sorayama has used several secrets: Eye Sword, Heart Eye, Instant Kill, and Wuxiang Sword.
He will use more secrets in the future. Of course, he will not be able to master the essence of swordsmanship in each school, but even if there are people in those schools who have become swordsmen, they will not be able to reach his current level. This is determined by his body and talent.
Working hard can raise the lower limit, but talent is the key to determining the upper limit! Although it is cruel, this is the reality.
Kogoro was frustrated for a while, and then asked again: "Um...teacher, this time it's not a question about swordsmanship, but just a little curious...Since the teacher is also practicing Sorayama Ryu, why are everyone in the gym, including Onokan
All my martial arts skills are so...ordinary?"
Katsura Kogoro has always wanted to ask this question. Ichiyo Sorayama's martial arts is called the best in Japan at the moment and he is fully worthy of it. Then why is Ohno Fuji's martial arts from the same clan so low that he can't even resist the Serizawa duck?
Come on, you have to know that a few casual suggestions from a sword master will benefit endlessly. Just like myself, the speed of progress in the past few days is simply more exaggerated than in the past year.
Ono Fuji's face turned red, and he opened his mouth in embarrassment. He was not a person who liked lying, but it was simply impossible for him to say that Sorayama Kazuha was just a helper hired out of desperation!
Faced with the current situation of offending two top sects at the same time, once it is known that Sorayama Kazuyo has nothing to do with Sorayama Kazuyo, the school, the gym, himself and his disciples are all in ruins! He glanced at Sorayama Kazuyo with a guilty conscience, and then
He bowed his head deeply. Katsura Kogoro didn't notice anything unusual, thinking it was a sign of Fuji Ono's shame.
Sorayama Kazuyo carefully compiled the language and said slowly: "The reason for this is because I only came to the gym a few days ago, and Ohno just saw me one day before you."
Ohno Fuji's head lowered, and his complexion turned from reddish to pale. "Ah? Then teacher, you..."
Kazuyo Kuyama waved his hand to stop Kogoro's speculation, "Our Kuyama style is divided into the inner sect and the outer sect. The inner sect is passed down individually by master and apprentice, and only one person is passed on to each generation. Only those who have mastered martial arts can inherit the name of Kuyama Kazuyo and walk in the world.
But due to chance, he will also teach others some martial arts. The first generation of Ono's gym was also taught some superficial swordsmanship by Sorayama Kazuyo because of an encounter in the mountains. Without a complete inheritance of swordsmanship, among the masters like clouds
It’s not easy for Edo to last for nearly 300 years. Ohno, this sword of Captain Bizen belonged to Sorayama Kazuha more than two hundred years ago, but it happened to be passed down by your first generation due to some special reasons.
Just got it. Now that it is back in my hands, it can be regarded as returning to its original owner, so I told you at the beginning that both myself and this sword have a deep connection with Kongshan Kianliu."
Kazuyo Kuyama has already thought of this rhetoric. This is Edo, and it is not a remote village or rural town where one can conceal their origins with just a casual sentence. For those who do not have detailed family trees, no feudal lord will recruit them to become official
Samurai. In this era, without status, one would be reduced to fighting as a pariah, and the status of a pariah was far less than that of a domestic animal. They could be tested by samurai swordsmen on the street at will.
Of course Kazuyo Sorayama is not for fame and fortune, he just wants to give an explanation to this gym and Fuji Ohno. In fact, it is not a complete fabrication. Except for the so-called Sorayama flow, everything he said is true.
But the Sorayama Ichiyo of each generation is just himself...
Ohno Fuji raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Senior Sorayama did have a deep connection with our sect. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a member of the sect. Now that our sect is safe and worry-free, do we beg him to teach more?
The secret of swordsmanship? If only I could stay in the gym for a lifetime... Ohno Fuji fell into a beautiful fantasy.
It turns out that the teacher is a descendant of the hidden school, no wonder he has never heard of it, Katsura Kogoro thought secretly, and at the same time his respect for Sorayama Kazuha deepened again. As far as he knows, those hidden schools that exist in the deep mountains and swamps are all
Those who were indifferent to fame and fortune and devoted themselves to the pursuit of swordsmanship can even be traced back to the Asuka Period a thousand years ago, but most of these schools met tragic ends.
Japan is a country prone to disasters. The saying "three small earthquakes a day, one medium earthquake every three days, and one major earthquake every three years" is by no means an exaggeration. Sometimes an earthquake and the accompanying mudslides can instantly engulf the country.
Once a village encounters such a natural disaster, even if it is a sword god, let alone one who has cultivated to the level of a sword master, he has to rely on luck to escape with his life. He can only rely on collective strength to rescue each other and survive the natural disaster.
"Teacher, after hearing what you said, the disciple suddenly remembered something. There seems to be a school in our Changshu domain that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said that it is passed down only by each generation, but I have almost never heard of anyone from this school becoming an official.
Any daimyo or martial artist is very mysterious."
Katsura Kogoro said, "Oh? Do you know the name of that sect?" "It seems to be called Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, but no one knows what the successor is called, but there should still be some."
Just when Katsura Kogoro said the words "Hiten Mitsurugi Style", the familiar electronic sound immediately sounded in Kazuyo Sorayama's mind: "Welcome to the world of "Rurouni Kenshin"".
Finally appeared!
Sorayama Kazuyo knew nothing about where the world of "Rurouni Kenshin" was and what would happen. Of course, he had no interest in knowing. If he wanted to come, he would leave soon after completing the mission anyway.
Even "Seven Samurai", which lasted the longest, did not last more than two months. "Battle Royale" may have been entered because of my desperate resistance. Even so, it only lasted less than a month, and "Yongjimbo" lasted even longer.
It's short, only a few days before and after, so there is no need to worry about the world this time.
While they were chatting in the martial arts hall of the gym, the bright and soft moonlight also shone on a remote village. A simple farmer held up a crying baby boy and said excitedly to the weak mother on the bed: "Look, this is
Xintai, although he looks a little thinner, he will definitely become a qualified man in the future, right Xintai..."
In the second year of Kaei Aoi, Kenshin Himura was born.
