Human destiny is like a withered leaf in the autumn wind, drifting with the wind without any freedom.
Hiko Seijuurō and Sorayama Kazuyo were walking side by side among the wilderness trails in the deserted mountains.
This man is about thirty years old, tall and burly, half a head taller than Ichiyo Sorayama. His deep eyes are embedded in his resolute face. He is very masculine. His hair is not the popular Tsukiyo hairstyle of this era, but
Xiang Kongshan is draped like a leaf, with a tight-fitting samurai uniform that is almost bursting with explosive muscles. He wears a white high-collared cloak. His posture is like a star emitting blazing light, which is exactly the same as Kongshan who is as cold as an iceberg on the side.
The leaves are in sharp contrast.
"I didn't expect that you, who was being hunted by the shogunate all over the world, would be hiding here. You seem to be living a good life." A magnetic and rich voice came, and Seijuro Higu looked curiously at the rumored famous "Sword Master"
" He said cheerfully, as if he didn't care about the evil reputation of the person in front of him.
"I'm tired. I don't want to kill anyone anymore, so I might as well just be quiet for a while." Sora Yiye's deep and hoarse voice revealed an indescribable loneliness.
"It seems that the rumors are wrong. It is widely spread throughout Japan that you are the reincarnation of Shura, and you came here specifically to cleanse the world with blood. I didn't expect that the mighty swordsman could be so weak." Higurashi Seijuro was a little curious. After learning that the man in front of him was
I was very wary of the demon who was said to be a murderer with no eyes.
Although with his martial arts, there are not many people or things in the world that can scare him, but both Sorayama Kazuha's deeds and his first feeling when facing him made Hiko Seijuro realize,
Kazuyo Sorayama is on the same level as him. Once they fight, they must not be careless at all.
"Rumors can't be accurate, otherwise why would a guy as powerful as you be unknown?" This is also the most curious thing about Kazuyo Sorayama.
After experiencing so many worlds, he has never encountered such a powerful person. He is so powerful that he will tremble when the man next to him stares directly at him. Is it fear of being defeated or excitement? Sorayama Kazuyo himself doesn't know.
He can be sure that the name "Hiko Seijuro" does not exist in the history he knows. Obviously, this may be a fictional character created in the so-called "Rurouni Kenshin" world, or it may be based on a real person.
A perverted version of shaping.
In the ruined temple.
As usual, Wuzi packed away the sun-dried food and salted the newly collected wild vegetables for the winter. Although she always looked expressionless, it could be seen from her brisk movements that she
The little girl must be in a good mood. She doesn't know whether she feels resentment, gratitude, admiration, dependence, or other unexplainable emotions towards Kazuyo Sorayama. But in her few lives, she only has these few feelings.
Only when the months pass can people live their lives as they should. No matter how hard it is to practice every day, she is still full of energy. She hopes that this kind of life can last forever.
A burst of hearty laughter came from outside the newly renovated temple gate, which made Wuzi immediately alert.
Who is coming? Kazuha Sorayama usually doesn't even say a word, and her hoarse and deep voice will never make such a sound! She quickly pulled out the Kodachi that had been slung on her back. For her height,
The weapon was too long. She ducked behind a pile of firewood, gathered all her aura, and entered the state of launching a fatal blow at any time. After Sorayama Kazuyo taught her for so long, she was confident that in the case of a sneak attack, even if the opponent was a master of swordsmanship, she would be able to do it.
Will be tricked.
"Kongshan, your place is nice! I thought it would be nice to have a thatched hut in this barren mountain, but I didn't expect that you would have a temple all to yourself."
"Someone else brought me here."
"Oh? I didn't expect anyone besides me would dare to go with you. Let me think about it... it's a woman." Kazuyo Sorayama shook his head and nodded: "Well, we had some problems in the past, and he just brought me here.
He became seriously ill and died."
Hearing Kazuyo Sorayama's voice, Kiriko secretly lowered her guard, put away her weapon and returned to her dumb look, silently walked out of the hiding place and continued her work.
"Wuzi, prepare some more dinners to entertain friends."
"she is?"
"The daughter of the woman who brought me here is ashamed to say that she took care of everything here. In the end, I'm just a freeloader."
Higu Seijuro looked at Kiriko in surprise, and said with a hint of contempt: "Master Swordsman is a big shot after all, and he is not used to doing rough work, but you went so far as to let a little girl who just learned to walk take care of you a few years ago."
Kazuyo Sorayama smiled bitterly: "She is eight years old this year. She looks young because she has practiced ninja secrets. You are right, I will never do anything else except killing."
Higu Seijuro stood still and put away his smile, and asked somewhat seriously: "Korayama, what do you think about the shogunate and the people? With your current influence, you have the ability to change this country."
Kazuyo Sorayama looked at the other party in surprise, "Higu, you don't look like the kind of person who has the world at heart. Why are you suddenly concerned about this topic?" When he said this, Kazuyo Sorayama couldn't help but think back to Gu Xiaogoro.
I don't know what the young man's current situation is, or whether he has been implicated by himself.
"Alas, most of the samurai in the world are selfish and fight endlessly for their own benefit. The Tokugawa shogunate was incompetent, and the powerful daimyo expanded their power wantonly. No one thought about the overall interests of the country. As a result, wars broke out frequently and civil strife broke out, making the people miserable.
.In the past few years since Yicheng came down from the mountain, I have witnessed countless tragedies and killed hundreds of bandits and bandits with my own hands, but it was in vain. The weak were not protected, the strong were not restrained, high-ranking officials became wealthy businessmen, and samurai were reduced to
Bandits are the same scourge to the people. This world is like purgatory... No matter how many I kill, I can't save the world."
Higu Seijuro took off the huge wine bottle from his waist, took a sip, and continued: "But you are different. I walked from Kansai to Kanto, and almost everyone was talking about you. Swordsmen are proud of you, Ronin."
Following your example, although the samurai hate you on the surface, most of them are in awe. It can be said that you have become the most influential person in the world besides the shogun. Don’t you have some other ideas? "
"The world has nothing to do with me." Kazuyo Sorayama said coldly: "Killing, I'm good at it, saving people? I'm not interested. Everything I do is for myself. As for saving all people... I'd rather let guys with this talent
Go do it.”
Higu Seijuro frowned: "In the empty mountain, the sword must stand on the Tao. The sword of no Tao is a pure tool, and only the user can give it a soul. I, the Flying Sword Style, adhere to the way of saving the world, and I have always been like this.
Practicing it, what about you, what is your swordsmanship?"
"A sword is a sword, whether it saves the world or destroys the world, it's just that the method of using it is different. Once other ideas are attached to the sword, the sword is no longer pure. This is my kendo." Sorayama Kazuyo shook his head, denying Higu.
Seijuro's views on kendo are two completely different paths.
"A person's words can lie, but a sword can't lie. Sorayama, draw your sword and let me see if your sword's heart is as pure as you said." Seijuro Hiko took off his cloak and spoke seriously.
Kazuyo Sorayama said.
"That's fine... being able to fight with you is the happiest thing that has ever happened to me since I came to this world." Kazuyo Sorayama also took off his cloak, and the two top swordsmen in the world walked to the middle of the courtyard and stood far away.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, Hiko Seijuro, please give me some advice."
"The empty mountain flows, the empty mountain leaves one leaf, please!"
Both of them have their own advantages. Compared with Furu Seijuro, he is stronger in physical quality. In terms of explosive power and absolute power, he is superior to Sorayama Kazuha; Sorayama Kazuha is better in perception ability and the use of space and time talents. The two fought against each other.
If the victory cannot be decided in an instant, then it must be a protracted battle beyond imagination!
