Chapter 196: Wulu and Nine Thousand Oaths(1/2)
Just when Okita was distressed, a burst of soft light suddenly shone on the spacious bus, making the entire carriage a little brighter.
"I'm sorry, it took me some time to get my things back home, so I kept you all waiting."
A voice as gentle as the spring breeze came, which directly dissipated a lot of the heat of the hot summer. The tall and gentle Kitayama Hiroshi walked onto the bus holding a pair of swords, including the noisy Okita and others.
Even the driver stood up from his driving position.
In fact, Kitayama Hiroshi was very accurate for a while. It was the agreed time to set off. There was no argument that he kept everyone waiting. However, as the last person to arrive, he still needed to be polite.
A handsome young man, a humble gentleman, this is Kitayama Koichi, the number one student at Beiwang High School.
"Young Master!"
Everyone bowed to Kitayama Koichi, and Kitayama Koichi returned the bow.
The contestants on the bus, whether in the main selection or reserve, are all disciples and descendants of the major schools in Kansai, and the major schools in Kansai have always followed the lead of the Sanji Sect, so everyone calls Kitayama Koichi the Young Master, although
They did not put themselves in the position of servants, but they all confirmed that Kitayama Koichi was their future leader... No, Kitayama Koichi was already their leader, and they were obedient to Kitayama Koichi.
After the salute, everyone turned their attention to Kitayama Koichi. Kamiya Yuki had a lively personality and was a leader among women. When she saw the sword held by Kitayama Koichi, she said in surprise: "Young master, what are you doing?
I also brought 'Wulu' with me!"
It turns out that the swords Kitayama Koichi was holding were actually Kitayama Koichi's favorite sword - "Mu Lu"!
If the weapon is placed in the open air, dew will inevitably condense on the cold blade in the early morning. However, this sword, which was made with the utmost effort by the famous swordsmith Kosaka Hachirobei, will not dew." Legend has it that even if it is left in a humid place in the open air overnight, it will remain dew-free.
In the early morning, there will not be a drop of dew condensed on the blade, so it is named "no dew".
Some people say that this is because the sharpness of the "Wulu" is so strong that it drives away the water vapor. Others say that this is because the "Wulu" blade is so sharp that it kills people without getting blood, and even if water and dew condense on the blade, it will
It will slip off quickly.
There are several other theories, but these two theories are the most popular among many, and both of them bring a legendary color to "Wulu".
This sword was a congratulatory gift from the "Anwu" organization after Beishan Wuer broke through to the master level ten years ago. Although the Anwu and the Sanji sect have different ideas, the leader of the weapons group of the "Anwu" Shixihuang Wozhi
Susuke is one of the few swordsmen in Japan. Although Kitayama Muji is not afraid of him, he still wants to give him some respect, so he accepted "Mu Lu", but did not keep it for his own use, but gave it to his only son.
Kitayama Koichi, "Mu Lu" has since become Kitayama Koichi's favorite sword.
It's just that the sharp edge of "Unrevealed" is rare in the world, and it is afraid of hurting others, so Kitayama Koichi has rarely used this sword. Kamiya Yuki and Kitayama Koichi grew up together, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, but they have never seen Kitayama.
Koichi has used this "Wu Lu" sword several times, and today he will be surprised to see Kitayama Koichi holding the "Wu Lu" sword.
"There is someone I have always wanted to meet for a while. This is a rare opportunity and I don't want to miss it."
Kitayama Koichi looked down at the sword in his hand and murmured.
If I don’t take this opportunity to compete with him, in a year or two, I’m afraid I won’t be qualified to take action against him anymore…
"Hey! Young Master, are you saying that among the people participating in the competition this year, there are experts who you need to take seriously?"
Kamiya Yuki was shocked.
Who is Kitayama Koichi? He is undoubtedly the strongest master among the young Japanese generation, and the ceiling of combat power among his peers. This bus can be said to have gathered the essence of the contemporary young generation from all major schools in Kansai. It can be said that he is the peer group.
The leader among them, but even if more than a dozen of them attack together, they probably won't be able to survive for a moment in front of Kitayama Haoichi. But even such a powerful young master has people who need to be treated seriously? Is it because she misunderstood Kitayama Haoichi's words?
Come on!
"No, he is not a contestant, he can only be regarded as a spectator at best."
Kitayama Koichi said with a smile.
Don't be kidding, the Yan family has been banned by name in the Central Plains, so how can they come to the Japanese high school students' competition to show off their power? This is too cheap!
"Well..."
Kamiya Yuki and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought they were going to face some big devil in the next game, but luckily they didn't.
Think about it, how can there be a monster among masters who can rival Shao Master?
Not to mention the young warriors in the Kansai region, they are all familiar with them. In the Kanto region, the only ones who have been challenging in the past few years are Onimaru Mu and Tetsuken, plus at most Busujima Saeko, which is not a concern at all. How can they be?
There is an opponent worthy of Master Shao’s attention. If there was one, the Kanto martial arts community would have already blown it up!
So the one the young master wants to meet with should be the leader of which participating team, right?
Kamiya Xue could only guess this way.
In order to improve the performance of their own participating teams, schools with strong capital and many connections often arrange for a skilled swordsman to be the leader of their own team. Only by being better than the contestants can they suppress the young, energetic and courageous team.
Young people who are fierce in fighting, and secondly, the team leader has good eyesight so that he can conduct pre-match observations and explain the strength and weaknesses of his opponents to his players, thereby increasing the winning rate.
The influence of Kuixing Banner and Jade Dragon Banner is too great. It can be said that they are undoubtedly the first and second largest high school competitions. In order for their own teams to achieve better results, and then use them as publicity highlights to increase enrollment rates, major schools
In addition to the serious consequences of illegal methods such as attacking the enemy team and taking banned drugs, other methods are endless and so numerous that it is dizzying.
"Let's go first. We can talk about anything on the way."
After sitting down, Kitayama Koichi said to the driver: "Mr. Tanaka, please drive!"
Even when facing an ordinary school bus driver from Beiwang High School, Kitayama Koichi was still polite.
Kitayama Koichi was the last person to arrive. After he took his seat, all the personnel from Beiwang High School participating in the Kuixing Banner and Jade Dragon Flag competitions were present.
Only Kitayama Koichi is worthy of everyone's wait. If the others haven't arrived ten minutes before the agreed time, everyone will definitely take the first step and leave the rude person who doesn't know how to arrive ten minutes early to chase him all the way.
I ran to the airport with the bus exhaust fumes.
After all, we are all practicing. It is only a few dozen kilometers to run to the airport, so it is quite tiring.
"Yes, Young Master!"
School bus driver Tanaka's salary is Hoichi High School's salary, which means that Kitayama Koichi is his young boss. When facing Kitayama Koichi, he is naturally extremely respectful.
Unlike other schools' participating teams, Beiwang High School's parametric team does not have a teacher to lead it. There was originally one, but after Kitayama Koichi proposed to be the team leader, the teacher who was supposed to be the team leader naturally abdicated and made way for others. Regardless of whether the teacher
Neither the students nor the contestants thought there was anything wrong with this, and the contestants were still slightly excited.
Not to mention that Beiou High School is the only one of the Kitayama family. Based on Kitayama Koichi's strength alone, there are really few people in the school including teachers who are his opponents, and there are only the second generation of the Sanji sect who are named in the school.
Teachers are better than Kitayama Koichi.
With such conditions, Kitayama Koichi took over the task of leading the team, who would object?
The bus was very big, and it seemed a bit empty with only about ten students on it. Kitayama Koichi was sitting alone, and Kamiya Yuki walked around his brother and came to Kitayama Koichi's side.
She has a relatively good relationship with Kitayama Koichi, and she knows that Kitayama Koichi is not a person who likes to put on airs, so in private, she is not very reserved with Kitayama Koichi.
"Brother Haoyi, this sword is your 'Wulu'. What's the significance of this sword? Why are you holding it with 'Wulu'?"
At this time, Yuki Kamiya even omitted honorifics. After all, she had been running behind Kitayama Koichi since she was a child. She was like Kitayama Koichi's younger sister. It was not a formal occasion, so there was really no need to be too restrained, so it was obvious that other people were also very polite.
I was curious as to why Kitayama Koichi was holding a Chinese sword besides being naked, but the only one who really dared to ask was Kamiya Yuki.
Different from the "Wulu" whose appearance is exquisite and everything from the guard to the handle and even the scabbard reveals luxury and elegance, the Zhongyuan sword is not only ordinary in style, but also has a very old feel.
But, will the sword that Kitayama Koichi can hold in his hand be an ordinary sword?
"This sword..."
Kitayama Koichi placed both swords on his legs, gently rubbed the scabbard with his hand, and then pulled out a section of the sword.
"Hang!"
When the long sword was unsheathed, the sound was not clear and crisp, but rather hoarse, and it did not emit the sharp sword light that Kamiya Yuki had expected. The blade of the sword was dim, not only did it not have the brightness of hundred-refined steel that could be used as a mirror, it even
It makes people feel that this is not a sword but an iron bar made with poor forging technology.
I'm afraid this sword will have trouble even cutting a branch, right?
The only special thing about this sword is probably the three pattern-like characters engraved on the blade near the sword guard.
"Brother Haoyi, what is this?"
Kamiya Yuki asked, looking at those three strange characters.
Kitayama Koichi pointed to the three characters on the sword and said word by word: "'Nine', 'Thousand', 'Oath'!"
"'Nine Thousand Oaths'? Is this the name of this sword? Are these three characters with the same pattern the ancient characters of the Central Plains? They seem to be harder to understand than Xiaozhuan!"
Kamiya Yuki curiously looked at the text pointed by Kitayama Koichi.
Kitayama Kōichi and Kamiya Snow said: "This is a kind of writing that is older than oracle bone inscriptions. It is more reliable to say that the oracle bone inscriptions in the Central Plains are the writings of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but this kind of writing is the writing of the legendary writing period of Cangjie.
, maybe even earlier than that!”
"Wow! Brother Haoyi is so awesome! He even knows words written so long ago!"
Kamiya Yuki looked like a little fangirl, feeling proud of the knowledge of her young master.
Kitayama Koichi shook his head with a smile. He sighed softly and said: "No one in the world really knows this kind of writing. I only knew the meaning of these three words when someone taught me. I am the last person in the world who is proficient in this kind of writing."
The person who died more than 80 years ago, therefore, this kind of writing is already a lost writing. Even if there are a few scattered words that some people know their meanings, they are not systematic at all. It cannot be said that they have mastered this kind of writing.
.”
"Ah, what a pity!"
Kamiya Yuki regretfully said that this kind of writing seemed to have a special charm that made her feel very comfortable just looking at it. She even had the idea of learning this kind of writing.
This shocked Kamiya Xue.
