"Who is there?" The dozen or so guards of the Hatakeyama family who were responsible for monitoring Yu Qiu Shang suddenly became vigilant. They each drew their swords in their hands and shouted towards the woods next to them.
"Oh my, why are the samurai masters so nervous? They are just old men." After a few hoarse laughs, an old man who seemed to have passed his age slowly walked away from the woods with his hands behind his back.
When he came out and saw a dozen warriors still looking at him with great vigilance, the old man smiled kindly and slowly raised his hands to show that he was not threatening.
Although this old man has gray hair on his temples and his face is covered with the marks of time, he is still energetic and has a heroic spirit between his brows. At first glance, he is a martial arts practitioner. It is no wonder that he is nearly 60 years old, but his body and bones look...
He still looks very tough, no worse than these guards.
However, even those who practice martial arts with good physical health will no longer be a threat when they reach the age of 60. Upon seeing this, the dozen warriors sheathed their swords and out of respect for the elders, Wei Wei acted
A gift.
"I wonder if you are a former samurai of this family?" the leading guard captain Morita Yasho asked cautiously. This old man's temperament is unusual at first glance. It is very likely that he was also a samurai. He may have experienced life and death for the Hatakeyama family.
Don't dare to be too negligent.
"You are..." the old man scratched his hair, squinted at the family crest on the guards, and then complained to himself: "Oh... look at my memory, this family emblem is obviously very familiar.
But I can’t remember it for the life of me.”
"It's from the Hatakeyama family." Morita Yasho replied. Seeing that the old man was a little confused, his guard was completely lowered, "I wonder what you want?"
"It's nothing. I just saw how hard this kid was practicing and wanted to give him some guidance." The old man looked at Yu Qiu Shang and then at the standing postures of the dozen or so guards. "But it seems like this kid,
It seems that I am not your young master, but I am here as a hostage with you. I wonder if it is convenient?"
"This..." Morita Yoshio muttered with some embarrassment. Hatakeyama Takamasa and the others had told them not to be too harsh on Yu Qiu Shang, and not to restrict his freedom as long as he had no intention of escaping.
"Sir, I don't think there's anything wrong. This old man is so confused that he can't cause any trouble." A samurai who was following Morita Yasho whispered in his ear, "This old man also has good intentions.
Let’s just be a smooth favor.”
"Okay. But you all keep an eye on it. Not only do we have to prevent Young Master Yuqiu from escaping, but we also have to be careful of anyone harming him." Morita Yoshio nodded after hesitating for a moment, then looked at the old man, "I don't know if you respect the old man."
Last name."
"I don't have a famous name. I'm just a village man. I'm just a village man." Kentaro Tianchen said politely, then walked up to Morita Yaxiang and motioned for him to search his clothes. The old man was dressed in gray cloth with no decorations.
Morita Yaxiang briefly touched him a few times and then let the old man pass.
"Master Tian Shen." After Yu Qiu Shang saw Kentaro Tian Shen approaching, he immediately bowed very respectfully, "Please give me your advice."
"You kid is quite polite, not bad, not bad." Tian Shen Kentaro smiled with great satisfaction, then stretched out his hand with criss-crossing meridians and a slightly old look, and gently pressed his index finger on Yu Qiu Shang's shoulder.
Before Yu Qiu Shang could react, the finger suddenly exerted force, almost knocking Yu Qiu Shang to the ground. After Yu Qiu Shang was stunned for a moment, he immediately pushed up tenaciously, gritting his teeth and trying to
He withstood Kentaro Tian Shen's heavy pressure. This strength was so great that large beads of sweat quickly oozed out from Yu Qiu Shang's forehead, and almost every muscle in his body trembled from the exertion. This also made him realize that in front of him,
This old man is not a liar, but a real master.
After a stalemate for a period of time, Kentaro Tian Shen
Then he nodded with satisfaction, let go of his hand, and stroked his gray beard, "My child, although your body is a little weak, you have practiced your basic skills well. If the rumors are correct, you are Na Yu Qiu Hongye’s eldest son, Yu Qiu Shang?”
"Exactly." Yu Qiu Shang replied respectfully, "I have met Mr. Tian Shen."
"There's no need to call me sir. I'm not a samurai now, and I have no plans to serve as an official in the future." Kentaro Tian Shen smiled freely, "If you're really polite, just call me sir."
"Yes, Mr. Tian Chen."
"I see you've been practicing wrestling all day. Are you tired?" Kentaro Tian Shen covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the setting sun that was gradually setting on the horizon.
"Tired." Yu Qiu Shang did not pretend to be strong, but answered honestly.
"Why do you continue to practice when you are tired?" Tian Shen Kentaro raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked another question.
"Because I want to practice wrestling well." Yu Qiu Shang replied in a low voice, "I failed miserably in the Oda family's wrestling competition before. I am not willing to accept it. This time I want to win back."
"Then do you think you can do it without one hand?" Tian Shen Kentaro's tone was as kind as ever, but his words left no room for error, "Child, you have to know that some things are not what you want to do. It can be done. It is very likely that a lot of effort has been put in, but in the end it will be useless.”
"I don't know, it might not be possible." Yu Qiu Shang looked directly into Kentaro Tian Shen's eyes, but there was no helplessness in his tone, "But this is a unique experience for me. People who don't have a right hand, work hard to practice wrestling, It’s very meaningful in itself, so why should we expect success?”
Yu Qiu Shang's words made Kentaro Tian Shen's eyes light up. The old man muttered a few words to himself softly, but Yu Qiu Shang didn't hear it clearly. Then, without saying much, Kentaro Tian Shen turned around and walked straight towards where he came from. go the way.
"Mr. Tian Chen, didn't you say you want to give me some advice?" Yu Qiu Shang asked with some confusion when he saw Kentaro Tian Chen leave suddenly. He was originally looking forward to the experience taught by this master, but he didn't Knowing that what he just said was wrong, Kentaro Tianchen actually left directly.
"Hahaha, kid, don't get me wrong." Tian Shen Kentaro laughed as he walked, "Because I have decided not only to give you some pointers."
"At the first quarter of the day tomorrow, wait for me here!" Kentaro Tian Shen did not pause or look back, but pointed to the ground under his feet with his finger, "I will teach you a move, it is very simple, but only if You can learn it. And that one move is the move that can help you defeat all opponents."

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Qiu Shang had already gotten up and woke up a dozen guards who were responsible for monitoring him.
"Mr. Yuqiu, you don't really want to see that old man, do you?" Morita Exiang was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Yuqiu Shang, and he asked drowsily, "You don't really believe in evil?" Bar?"
"Your Excellency, I am aware that I am going to see Mr. Tian Chen, and I would like to ask His Highness to send someone to follow him." Yu Qiu Shang requested very respectfully.
"No, Mr. Yuqiu, do you really believe that there are some moves that only a one-armed man can learn and defeat everyone!" Morita Yaxiang shook his head in disbelief, "That old man is already confused. You're just bragging there. Maybe he'll forget about it as soon as he gets home, and it's all in vain if you go there."
"Even so, I still have to keep my appointment." Facing Morita Yixiang's ridicule, Yu Qiu Shang replied neither humble nor arrogantly, "Jia Yan has always taught me that the most important thing in being a person is to keep your word and do what you say. Since we have already made an appointment. , I have to go.”
"Okay, okay." Morita Yaxiang couldn't resist Yu Qiu Shang. Seeing that he didn't take him with him, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at all, "Let's go."

When a group of people rushed to the training place yesterday, they found that Kentaro Tian Shen had already been waiting there. After the latter saw Yu Qiu Shang, he immediately scolded him angrily: "We agreed to Yin Shi Chu Mo, why did you Yin Shi? Coming at two minutes?"
"I'm very sorry. I'm not free. I have to wake up the people under surveillance to come together, so I wasted a little time." Yu Qiu Shang apologetically held up his hands, "Sir, please atone for your sins."
"Come back tomorrow at the first quarter of the year!" Tian Shen Kentaro shook his head helplessly, "This is not the style that a martial artist should have." After saying that, Yu Qiu Shang walked away quickly without waiting for Yu Qiu Shang to explain. went.
"Have you seen, Mr. Yuqiu, this old man is just playing tricks on you?" After getting up in the middle of the night and making a fool of himself, Morita Yoshio's expression naturally didn't look much better. However, his self-cultivation is pretty good, and he hasn't done anything yet. He was violent to the old man, but he stopped calling him by his honorific title, "Go to sleep well, don't worry about it tomorrow."
However, in the early morning of the next day, Yu Qiu Shang shook Morita Aixiang awake again.
"Isn't that right, Mr. Yuqiu? Are you still going?" Morita Aixiang was slightly angry this time and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Last time, I broke the contract. I feel guilty, so of course I have to go." Yu Qiu Shang saluted very respectfully, "I hope you will do it."
"Go on, go on. I've been fooled again this time. Next time, don't wake me up in the middle of the night." Morita Yoshio muttered with great dissatisfaction, "Let's go, let's go."
This time, Yu Qiu Shang and his party arrived on time. However, Kentaro Tian Shen arrived earlier than them.
"I had an appointment with the old man, but I arrived later than the old man. He didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all." Kentaro Tianchen shook his head dissatisfied again and said, "Go back and come back at this time tomorrow."
"No, old man? What do you mean!" This time, Morita Yaxiang couldn't help it, and cursed with great dissatisfaction: "Last time we were late, this is considered an admission. But this time we arrived on time, you are here Are you playing monkey here? If you love teaching or not, who will believe you!"
"Believe me or not, it has nothing to do with you." Seeing Morita Yaxiang's rude words, Kentaro Tianchen was not angry at all, but whispered calmly, "I was just talking to Mr. Yuqiu."
"Come back this time tomorrow."

On the third day, Yu Qiu Shang had just finished dinner when he asked Morita Yaxiang to go to the agreed place.
"Master Yuqiu, what are you doing? Do you think this is your own home, and you can do whatever you want?" Morita Yaxiang has been troubled by Yuqiu Shang, "If you don't go, you can't leave today." Room."
"Please, sir, please do it. This is the last time." Yu Qiu Shang still whispered in a low voice, neither humble nor haughty, "Thank you, sir."
"Then why don't you go in the middle of the night? What are you going to do just after dinner?"
"Go now and wait there. I'll definitely arrive earlier than Mr. Tian Chen." Yu Qiu Shang replied in a deep voice, "I don't want to disappoint Mr. Tian Chen again."
After all, Morita Yaxiang was a good-tempered person. He couldn't stand Yu Qiu Shang's hard work and finally agreed to him again. So, a group of people took torches and found the place agreed on yesterday in the dark. A dozen guards were left standing guard. Watching Yu Qiu Shang, everyone else took turns to narrow their eyes for a while. Finally, at the seventh quarter of the ugly hour, Tian Shen Kentaro's figure slowly appeared in the dark night.
"Mr. Tian Chen." After Yu Qiu Shang saw Kentaro Tian Chen, he immediately saluted with great respect: "I'm here as promised."
Kentaro Tian Shen saw Yu Qiu Shang's energetic look, and a bit of relief flashed in his eyes. He didn't do much to encourage him, but just patted Yu Qiu Shang's shoulder with his hand, and whispered at the same time:
"Children can be taught."
