Chapter 275: Establish power with one sword! Shock Xiao Xiao! [6500]
There is a saying that goes well: People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Since Qingteng was no longer the unknown "idiot", Qingteng has inevitably encountered something that almost every famous martial artist will encounter nowadays: being harassed by challengers who come to his door.
Traveling around the world and increasing one's strength and reputation by challenging masters from all over the world - this kind of custom was most popular during the Warring States Period three hundred years ago.
But with the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, Japan ushered in a long-lost and rare world of peace.
Although the Tokugawa family's governance philosophy of "Don't let the people below live too badly, but don't let them live too well" has made the lives of most samurai very embarrassing, they are not so poor that they can't even eat a bowl of water.
He couldn't even drink porridge, but he was not so desperate that he had to tie his head to his waistband and fight for fame and fortune by fighting life and death.
In addition, social atmosphere has changed.
With the emergence of capitalism and various other reasons, more and more people, whether samurai or civilians, do not respect the so-called noble moral character and samurai spirit.
Everyone turns to the pursuit of money and enjoyment.
Compared with the generally poor samurai, the well-dressed businessmen are increasingly favored by the public.
A long time ago, many people criticized "the money worship trend that corroded the spirit and fighting spirit of the samurai." There were also people who tried to reverse this unhealthy trend, but they all failed.
All in all, under the influence of these various reasons, the trend of "traveling around and fighting everywhere" has disappeared.
However - times have changed.
Land annexation, the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, the number of samurai increases, and it becomes increasingly difficult for the Edo shogunate and various vassal states to support such a large number of samurai... These social problems continue to intensify as the years go by.
In the end - seven years ago, the "Black Ship Incident" in which American warships visited Edo Bay became the straw that broke the camel's back.
The "small peasant economy" on which the samurai class relied for survival was severely impacted.
The number of rogues is increasing day by day.
In order to earn a living, more and more warriors who were somewhat confident in their own abilities chose to seek wealth and wealth through risks.
If I can defeat someone who is currently famous and make my fame explode in one breath...then in the future, whether I want to rely on my martial arts to get an official position in the shogunate or the vassal government of some vassal country, or I want to start a business
A martial arts gym that teaches people the truth and solves their doubts can get twice the result with half the effort!
As a result, in recent years, the "ancient style of the Warring States Period" has revived.
More and more people have the dream of "defeating a famous warrior and gaining fame and fortune overnight."
Whenever a martial artist from somewhere makes a name for himself by relying on his martial arts and becomes famous, there will immediately be a large number of people who are either overestimating their abilities, or who are really capable, like cats smelling something fishy, or seeing someone with some talent.
The flying insects that reached the light source swarmed towards the warrior.
Logically speaking, there should not be many people who dare to touch Qingdeng, a "god of murder" like Qingdeng who has never suffered a defeat in the confrontation with the anti-barbarian group and killed countless powerful enemies.
.
However, there are always some people who have a "what if?" mentality.
What if?
What if I can defeat "Nioh"?
If I can defeat "Nioh"... then I will become famous!
Of course, there are also some people who truly believe that they can defeat Qingdeng.
Compared with Ju Qingden, I just lack a little luck and an opportunity to rise to the top!
In terms of skill and martial arts strength, I am definitely no worse than Tachibana Aoden!
If Tachibana Aoden and I were to switch identities, my record would definitely be more brilliant than Tachibana Aotomo!
Of course, there is also a small group of martial arts idiots. The reason why they decided to come to challenge Qingto is not for fame or profit, but just to see the skills of the "Nioh", broaden their horizons, and improve their own martial arts level.
Since September, people with all kinds of different ideas and desires have been coming to the trial gym, hoping to compete with Qing Deng.
Many people don't even meet these challengers, let alone accept the challenge, because they cherish their feathers or simply don't want to let these guys who want to step on other people's heads get the upper hand.
But obviously - Qingdeng is not such a person.
Why would you avoid such a great opportunity to copy your talent?
Although there is a risk of losing in the competition with challengers and the title of "Nioh" will be dusted, but compared with obtaining real talents and skills, the illusory fame is not so important.
Therefore, Qingdeng would not reject any challenger who came to his door.
In the past two months, a total of six people came to challenge Qingdeng because they heard about the name and deeds of the "Nioh".
The swordsmanship level of these six challengers... to put it mildly, is a bit uneven.
Five of them were vulnerable, and Qingdeng knocked them down with one strike of his sword. Qingdeng copied the new talent "Ying Cry" from a young man among these five who looked and behaved like an effeminate one.
Qingdeng was both happy and sad about the new talent he had acquired.
Previously, Qingdeng's voice was a very ordinary baritone.
Although it's not unpleasant to listen to, it still lacks the characteristics to catch people's ears.
But after having this "orioles cry", Qingdeng's voice suddenly became much clearer.
When getting along with others, a nice voice is often a good plus.
For Ainoto, who is currently aiming to "marry Sanako and Mai Kinoshita" in the future, he is of course happy to see his charm value get a new improvement.
However... joy is accompanied by sorrow.
Qingdeng can no longer remember how many people asked him: "Eh? Has your voice become better?"
In response to this, Qingteng would always try to fool him by saying, "Huh? Did you hear it correctly?" or "No, I've always had this sound."
Fortunately, although Qingdeng's current voice is much better than before, the difference is not too huge, so Qingdeng's deception is quite effective.
Among the six challengers, only one of them was a strong man, which caused Qingdeng to suffer a lot.
He is a tall, muscular man who has grown up from unknown sources. He has learned from others, and he wields the sword very fast and fiercely. He takes the path of defeating ten masters with one force.
Qingden barely defeated him with the buffs such as "Gu Gu" and "Gathering God" fully activated.
After the battle, Qingden copied the "Bear's Waist" from this macho man's body, which enhanced the explosive power of his waist.
In this way, "Bear's Waist" became Qingdeng's fourth talent to be fused and enhanced.
In addition to "Bear's Waist", Qingdeng's other two talents have recently been fused: "Eagle Eye" and "Physical Body". Their origins are relatively simple.
Qingdeng's high reputation and the various contributions he made after becoming a disciple of the Shiwei Guan have made the reputation of the Shiwei Guan even higher and its development flourishing.
As the reputation of the sword hall continues to increase, some good talents have finally begun to appear in the hall.
These new apprentices are all excellent candidates for copying their talents.
Therefore, every newcomer in the Trial Guard Hall has a similar experience - on the day he officially joined the Trial Guard Hall, Qingdeng was pulled over to compete with him in various ways and discuss...
Qingden copied "Eagle Eye" and "Physical Body" from two juniors who had joined the Trial Guard Hall for less than a month, so that these two talents were integrated.
The innate ability of "Physical Fitness" is to "accelerate wound recovery", so its improvement effect cannot be intuitively felt.
The "Bear's Waist" and "Eagle Eye" are different.
After adding a "+1" suffix to both entries, Qingdeng clearly felt that his dynamic vision and waist strength had been significantly improved!
When an insect flew past his eyes, Qingden could see more clearly how its wings vibrated.
When the sword held high above the head is slashed down with the force of the waist, the power of the slash directly increases to a large level.
Just "+1", the natural ability has been greatly improved...
Qingdeng boldly guessed——
When "Eagle Eye" is upgraded to "+5" or "+6", you may be able to see the trajectory of the bullet clearly.
When the "Bear's Waist" is upgraded to "+5" or "+6", he might be able to easily split a person in half with a normal slash using his waist strength.
There are only the top "+8" and "+9"... Qingdeng can't imagine how powerful it will be once the talent is upgraded to this level.
After more than two months of talent collection and hard training... Qingdeng himself was somewhat unsure of how far his current combat power had improved.
Let's get back to the topic - after Aoto introduced himself briefly without being humble or overbearing, the captain of the second division, Tadatsuki Kanazawa, who was loved by the people for his approachable personality, took the lead to step forward and showed a warm smile.
"Hahaha! Orange-kun, I have admired your name for a long time! Hehe, Xiaoqin is right! You do have a handsome face!"
"Xiaoqin?"
Kanazawa...Qin...
After this surname is combined with this name, the talent of "photographic memory" is quietly activated.
"Ah... you are Miss Kanazawa Qin's brother?"
"Hey, that's right!"
Kanazawa Chusuke grinned, put his hands on his hips and laughed.
"What a surprise! Mr. Ju, you actually remember my sister! According to what my sister said, you and her seem to be just acquaintances who had a discussion with each other! We are not very familiar with each other!"
Qingdeng smiled slightly: "It is difficult to forget an outstanding woman like your sister."
Kanazawa Qin——Besides Sanako, the only Hime warrior who practices swordsmanship in the Chiba Sword Hall.
At the beginning of August this year, when Aoto had to challenge the heroes of the Kochiba Kenkan due to the people who admired Sanako, he had a fight with Kanazawa Qin.
Although she was born as a girl, she had excellent swordsmanship and the courage to fight that most male swordsmen could not match. Therefore, this girl left a very deep impression on Qingden.
At this moment, Qingden recalled with hindsight: He seemed to have heard that Kanazawa Qin's brother was a high-ranking official within the Huofu Thieves Reform.
"Orange."
At this time, a lukewarm bass, neither salty nor bland, intervened in the conversation between Qingnobo and Kanazawa Chusuke.
"Ah, Mizushima-kun."
The captain of the fourth division, Mizushima Rensaburo, nodded to Aoden expressionlessly.
"Well, long time no see."
"Mizushima-kun, thank you so much for your vigorous and resolute rescue that night."
What Aoto means is naturally that when Aoto launched a desperate battle with the anti-barbarian group in the Western settlement, Mizushima and his fourth division were the first to arrive on the battlefield and provided timely and powerful support to Aoto.
This stuff.
"I just fulfilled my duties and did what I should do. No need to say thank you." Mizushima said calmly.
The only people who took the initiative to respond to and greet Aoto were Kanazawa and Mizushima.
The rest of the people were as motionless as a mountain.
Kimura Suma, the captain of the 5th division who firmly believed in the "bloodline theory", gave Aoto a contemptuous look and then withdrew his gaze, not even looking at Aoto.
Captain of the Sixth Division, Genzo Hosaka... This jealous "red-eyed monster" was also attracted by Qingbo's pleasant voice and glanced at Qingbo, then hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and then used his jealous eyes to steal.
Glancing at Qingdeng.
After seeing Seito's skin that was exceptionally smooth and wrinkle-free due to his young age, wisps of explicit jealousy emerged from the depths of Kasaka's eyes.
As Kimura's lackey, Captain Tsuchida Masaichi of the 7th Division, hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Kimura - he glared at Aomori with evil intentions.
Although Nobuyoshi Kazama, the captain of the Eighth Division, did not show such explicit hostility towards Aotobu like the three people mentioned above, he did not treat Aotobu warmly either.
After the conflict between Mizushima and Kimura subsided due to Kanazawa's persuasion, he silently sat back in his seat, watching his nose and heart.
Qingdeng silently scanned the expressions of everyone in the hall, and then said in his heart:
——The situation is really clear...it's clear at a glance which people don't want to see me and which people are friendly to me.
Only my grandson, Kanazawa, and Mizushima are friendly towards Ayoto.
The other 4...hehe.
Since Kimura and others treat him indifferently, Qingto has no interest in sticking his warm face to his cold ass.
If time permits, Aomori would like to talk more with my grandson, Kanazawa, and Mizushima. After all, they are colleagues who will work together in the future.
But unfortunately, at this moment, the door of the conference hall was opened with a "crash" again.
Two middle-aged men walked through the opened hall door one after another and walked into the hall.
Even without anyone's introduction, Aoto could tell at a glance - they must be the current commander-in-chief of the Fire Bandits Kai: Kurosawa Atsushi and Okubo Tadashi.
It's funny, the two of them have exactly the same body shape - they look like they are seven months pregnant with a big belly, and even if they don't lower their heads, you can clearly see the three folds on their chins.
"Oh? It seems that everyone has arrived." Kurosawa scanned the scene in the hall and said with a smile, "No one is late, that's good!"
As soon as Kurosawa finished speaking, Okubo beside him added:
"The meeting is about to begin. Don't wait here anymore. Go back to everyone!"
Wow…
For a moment, Kanazawa and Mizushima who had gathered around Aoto dispersed immediately.
"Tachibana-kun. Come with me~ Your seat is next to mine."
My grandson hooked his fingers at Qingdeng and thoughtfully pointed out his seat for Qingdeng.
The seats in the meeting hall are all specified and no random seating is allowed.
Those with odd-numbered squad numbers sit on the east side of the hall.
People with even-numbered squad numbers sit on the west side of the hall.
The unit Qingdeng belongs to is the third division, and his seat is sandwiched between "one" and "five".
In other words, Aoden has to sit between my grandson and Kimura Suma.
As soon as Qingden's bent legs landed on the soft mat, from the corner of his left eye, he saw Kimura Sima sitting on his left side, moving his butt away from him.
A faint look of disgust could be seen on Kimura Suma's face.
Seeing this, Qingdeng let out a silent sneer without caring.
…
…
There is nothing worth elaborating on in this simple "welcome meeting" held temporarily to welcome Qingdeng's arrival.
There was no greeting gift, no flowers, no passionate congratulations.
At the request of Kurosawa and Okubo, Aomori introduced himself again in public.
Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa pointed out to Qingteng one by one some of the key points that needed more attention in the Huo Fu Thief Kai.
Finally, Kurosawa and Okubo jointly announced to everyone: Although the anti-barbarian group has been destroyed, there are still many remnants of the remnants running around. Although the unhealthy trend of "brainless and unreasonable resistance to the barbarians" has been effectively curbed,
It's not time to relax yet...all this.
In short, I am warning everyone to work harder in the future and not to slack off.
After completing the above series of links, this simple "welcome meeting" came to an end.
Kurosawa Atsushi and Okubo Tadashi were the first to leave the scene - both of them spoke softly and had no annoying airs, so Aomori's first impression of these two officers was acceptable.
However, Ayoto has not forgotten the advice my grandson gave him just now: Tadashi Okubo owes a great favor to Kimura Suma's father.
Therefore, Aoshito did not relax his vigilance against Tadashi Okubo just because his "initial impression" was good.
"Ah~ 'It's not time to relax yet', 'Everyone must be dedicated to serving the public'... These words come and go, and I can almost hear the cocoon~~"
After Kurosawa and Okubo's footsteps left the meeting hall, my grandson stretched his waist vigorously and stood up lazily.
"Ji Jun, do you have any plans later?"
"What other arrangements can be made?"
Qingden shrugged.
"I'm going to go to the headquarters of my third division to meet with my subordinates... Hmm? What? Are you okay?"
Qingden suddenly felt the light at his hand dim, and looked up - Kimura Suma looked down at him expressionlessly.
And his henchman: Tsuchida Masagi stood behind him with his hands on his hips and looked full of dignity.
"Nothing."
Kimura Shuma said without sadness or joy.
"I just want to tell you, the newcomer, some of the rules that you must abide by when serving as official here."
"rule?"
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows and chuckled softly.
"Thank you for your kindness. However, Master Kurosawa has just introduced me to you all the rules that must be followed by the Fire Thief Kai, so I won't bother you any more."
"Kurosawa-sama didn't tell you everything just now."
Kimura Shuma said without thinking.
"Actually, there is an invisible rule in the Huo Fu Thief Kai, which is that younger generations must know how to respect their elders."
"Oh?" Qingden's eyelids sank slightly.
"Although in name, the Huo Fu Thief Kai is a special security department responsible for handling all kinds of major cases that are difficult for the execution office and the eight states directors to deal with."
"But in reality, it is undoubtedly the army!"
"The military is an organization, and organizations need order and discipline."
"If there is no basic respect for elders and younger ones, how can we talk about order and discipline?"
Kimura Suma said this, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, with a hint of disgust on his face.
"As a newcomer who just came to take office today, you always use the tone of an ordinary person when talking to me, without using any honorifics or honorifics."
"Honorary title...for example, 'Heavenly King, Laozi, Commander-in-Chief'?" Qingden interrupted Kimura Shuma's words with a smile.
Qingdeng's "honorific title" caused my grandson next to him to laugh happily.
"I haven't spoken yet! Don't interrupt!"
Qingteng interrupted him for no reason and continued to make jokes. Kimura Shuma was obviously angry.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued:
"Everyone here is your elder and has served in this great army for a long time."
"I hope you will use appropriate honorifics and honorifics when talking to us in the future."
"You can't interrupt your seniors for no reason like you did just now!"
Kimura Suma's tone was stiff and cold, full of commands, and it didn't seem like he was giving "suggestions" to Qingnobo at all.
At this time, a fly flew in from the window and hovered "buzzingly" above the heads of Qingto and Kimura.
Qingdeng rolled his eyes upward without any expression, staring straight at the fly.
Kanazawa on the side could smell the disharmonious atmosphere spreading between Ayoto and Kimura Suma. He coughed lightly and walked quickly.
"Okay, Kimura-kun. When you speak, speak politely and don't be so angry."
My grandson no longer stands idly by.
"Okay, okay~ Kimura, I have never used honorifics or honorifics to you. Why don't you come and persuade me to treat you with more respect? Ah~ Is it because of my family's family background?
It’s not much worse than yours, so don’t you dare to mess with me? I’m sorry, sorry~ I almost forgot that you are the one who cooks the dishes~~”
However, it doesn’t look like my grandson is here to persuade peace, more like he is here to make peace...
Just when Kimura glared at my grandson who suddenly jumped out to taunt him——
"Senior...?" Qingden sighed softly.
What happened next really happened in an instant.
The haori tie tied tightly to Kimura's chest was suddenly disconnected.
A bright silver blade filled the field of vision of everyone present in an instant, and then disappeared in the next instant.
Kimura's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and the dark eyeballs moved toward the middle, turning into a pair of cross-cock eyes - he was using his cross-cock eyes to stare at some sharp object that was placed in front of the tip of his nose.
The tip of the knife shines with a dazzling cold light.
"Ahhhhh!"
Kimura, who came to his senses slowly, let out a series of screams and subconsciously stepped back with his feet, trying to stay away from the blade of Dingguishen.
However, because he retreated too quickly, he accidentally bumped into Tsuchida Masaichi who was standing behind him.
The two screamed and fell to the ground.
"Actually, I've always been annoyed by this buzzing fly since just now."
Qingdeng smiled. When he mentioned the word "fly", he emphasized his tone as if on purpose.
At this moment, everyone discovered that the Dingguishen lying flat in Qingdeng's hand had two dots of "black ink" on the blade. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the corpse of a fly.
To be more precise, it is a fly corpse that was divided into two parts vertically.
"I wanted to wait silently for it to fly away, but I didn't know what was wrong with it. It just refused to go away."
"There is no other way but to use some rougher methods to make it stop barking."
After saying that, Qingdeng flicked his wrist and used a skillful blow to throw the fly corpse on the blade to his feet.
"Um?"
Qingteng looked "surprised" at Kimura Shuma, who was still slumped on the tatami with his legs in the air.
"Is it a little too rude and disrespectful to pose in such an indecent posture in front of juniors? What do you think? Senior?"
Qingdeng recited the last "senior" very clearly and loudly with extremely clear articulation.
*******
*******
I think "flies don't stare at seamless eggs" and "a slap can't make a sound" are the two most stupid sentences in the world. Who agrees and who disagrees?
My leopard is growing again!
Because there are so many words in today’s chapter, please vote for this book! (Leopard Head Cries.jpg)
As for the plot of Huo Fu Thieves, I, Bao Bao Zi, have started laying out the plot a long time ago, laying the groundwork for the plot.
But I believe that most readers will not remember who Kanazawa Qin is and which chapter he appeared in... (Leopard Death.jpg)
