"Eight Coast Defense Books..." Tokugawa Idai looked at the book in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"A ridiculous work." Tohokawa Idae was not angry, but just... sighed?
The person kneeling outside the curtain was named Sakuma Xiangshan, the author of this book.
A strange man who suddenly changed from a "barbarian expeller" to a "founder" when Perry arrived for the second time.
"Sakama, in the future, you will go back to Matsuyoshi Shinshu and live in hibernation." Tokugawa Idai's voice was deep.
Sakuma Xiangshan put his head on the ground: "Yes..."
Old Master Abe Masahiro sat aside, feeling confused.
Sakuma Xiangshan is a person with a sharp opinion.
But such a sharp person was driven back to his hometown...shuofu...general...
However, at this moment, Masahiro Abe even lamented with caution.
The future of this country...
......
It's already May.
After he recovered, he had been practicing his sword skills in the woods behind the clinic.
The main tone of the Hundred Birds has been determined by Zuocun.
The Shinto Wumingliu emphasizes power, the natural mind flow emphasizes speed, and the Beichen Yidaoliu emphasizes the style of that sword.
The flow of birds means flexibility.
Different from the speed of natural mental flow, flexibility is to make yourself more sensitive while having a certain speed and pursue more jumps. You can avoid enemy slashes, or use top-down power to increase your slashes.
The ordinary slash is just the average strength, and the knife Zuocun used on the day he met Luslan—
It's definitely not an ordinary thing.
A tree with a thick waist was easily cut into two halves.
but......
Not satisfied.
The hundreds of birds are far from being fixed, Zuocun may have taken a long, long time because of this process.
The boy jumped up in the open space and cut onto a stone as big as a house.
Just cut this stone in half - you can get a glimpse of the way!
But stones and wood cannot be compared at all. Zuocun's slashing down on the stone will not only fail to cut the stone, but will instead numb your arms.
And... this very ordinary knife cannot withstand the destruction of the stone cutting.
"Uh-ah!"
Table Tennis!
The iron and stones collided and sparked a spark.
but......
Pick.
Half of the knife fell to the ground.
Zuocun frowned with the empty hilt.
He sighed, picked up the broken knife from the ground and put it back into the scabbard.
Zuocun buried the knife next to the stone, revealing only one knife handle.
"Thank you for your death." Zuocun looked at the dead knife and was a little silent.
......
"Hey, Longma." A young man with hair covering his eyes called out to the man in a gray-blue Wu suit.
"What's wrong with Izo?" Sakamoto Ryuma smiled every moment.
"Are you a fool?" Okada Izumi approached Ryuma's ear and whispered, looking at a black-haired woman standing on the other side with a frightened look. "That woman is extremely dangerous no matter how she looks at it!"
Longma left a drop of cold sweat: "Yizang, Miss Along can hear what you said."
"Ah!" Okada Izo suddenly became clever and slowly turned his head.
Miss Aaron's gloomy face appeared in Yizang's field of vision.
"Miss Aaron is very dangerous, so you are right." However, Miss Aaron didn't care and just stood silently behind Longma.
But her eyes...
"But you arranged me behind your back!"
Dong!
"Ah, it hurts!" A big bag appeared on Okada Izumi's head.
"Oh, Miss Along calmed down." Longma took Miss Along's hand and led Miss Along back.
Miss Aaron's face turned slightly red and returned to Longma.
She was the snake god on the Rishan Mountain. Because she became curious about Longma, she is now following Longma.
Longma pulled Yizang from the ground: "It's okay, Yizang."
"Ryuma, you idiot!!!" Okada Izusa ran away crying and shedding tears.
Miss Aaron:???
"Oh, this is so difficult..." Longma scratched the back of his head.
......
Zuocun looked at the stone in front of him with his newly bought knife.
Next to the stone, there were dozens of dead knives inserted.
Now, it is November 1854.
Zuocun built a simple shed with wood in the wood and lived in it, practicing swordsmanship. Every time the knife was broken, he would go back to work for a short-term worker for two days. After making money, he immediately bought a knife and came to Shitou to train his swordsmanship again.
Luslan occasionally came back to see Zuocun and gave him some food.
In this kind of difficult conditions, Zuocun went through more than half a year.
"Hu..." He looked a little thicker, but was still thin overall.
Jump high up, Zuocun closed his eyes.
rustle--
call out--
The sound of leaves rubbing and the sound of wind passing by his ears.
Since we are about to usher in a chaotic world, then it is not just the blade.
The one who should be sharpest is the one that should be.
Opening his eyes, a sharp light flashed in Zuocun's eyes.
"Birds flow..."
"New feather wheel!"
"Don't wings--"
Zuocun turned around in the air, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands.
From top left-to-bottom right!
Zheng—!!!
The blade cuts across the stone.
The bangs covered Zuocun's eyes, making it difficult to see his expression.
Click.
boom--
The huge stone in front of him suddenly cracked in half.
The traces of cutting are as smooth as cutting tofu.
Zuocun shook his head, looked at the two halves of stone in front of him, and smiled knowingly.
After the knife was put on the sheath, the village chief Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming to the dead swordsmen, Zuocun bowed deeply, then turned around and left.
The cracked stone has been formed, and there is no need to stay in this place anymore.
......
"Is that so? You're leaving." Luslan looked at Annuo Zuocun with a smile on his face.
"Yes, my training goal has been achieved, so naturally I don't have to stay in the same place anymore." Zuocun nodded, "There are many things in this world that I need to see."
"Then, I wish you prosperity for martial arts."
Zuomura patted Luslan on the shoulder: "You are a good foreigner. If you have the chance, I will go back to Kyoto to see you."
Anno Zuomura left Kyoto.
He wants to pursue his own answer.
This country is undergoing great changes, and the choice is to make a choice after seeing the current situation of this country in Zuocun.
However, during this period of living in Kyoto, Zuomura had seen enough shogunate incompetence.
Stepping on the light snow that had just risen, Zuocun walked on the mountain road again.
"From the map, I left Kyoto, the first village I walked in this direction should be... Rensheng Village?"
"A little strange name...but it seems to be a big village, and there seems to be a temple inside."
