Why learn Guliu swordsmanship?

Kitahara Shuji groaned slightly and didn't know how to answer, I can't say that I didn't have a choice at the beginning, so I could only learn this thing to deal with your daughter's unreasonable trouble, right?

He hesitated for a moment, and chose a reluctant reason: "Just thinking about exercising." ”

Naotaka Fukuzawa doesn't quite believe that there are too many better options for exercising, there is no need to specialize in practicing Guliu swordsmanship, even if it is a hobby, it should specialize in the modern sport of kendo, so that at least it will be of some use in the future - the police department likes graduates who have won prizes in kendo competitions, and they have extra points in recruitment interviews.

However, he didn't continue to ask, everyone has secrets, there is no need to get to the bottom of it, and said with a tolerant smile: "It's really rare to be able to practice to the point of Kitahara-kun just by exercising, but Kitahara-kun has never been mentored, right?"

"Yes. Kitahara Shuji responded, he had said before that he was self-taught.

"Then I have something I want to say to Kitahara-kun as a senior in swordsmanship, but it was inconvenient in front of the security office last night, so I had to drag it until now. Naokaka Fukuzawa said and gently ripped off the clothes on his chest, exposing his chest and abdomen to Kitahara Shuji.

Kitahara Shuji was stunned, took a closer look, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - Fukuzawa Naokaka has a slender and raised scar from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and the seam is like a long centipede, which is very hideous, and there is also an ugly scar on the heart of the left chest that was pierced by a long knife, but it doesn't look particularly conspicuous next to the "centipede".

He had been fighting the ronin swordsman in meditation battles for a long time, and instinctively began to study how the knife wound was caused. After looking at it for a while, I simulated it in my mind for a while, and I felt that Fukuzawa Naokaka should have broken through the defense, so that a left-handed swordsman with great strength slashed from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and then the swordsman was very ruthless in the heart of the left chest.

Just looking at this injury, Naokaka Fukuzawa should have died on the spot.

Fukuzawa Naotaka was also observing Kitahara Shuji's expression with his arms open, seeing that his expression was just slightly moving, not afraid but a little confused, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he still pointed to his chest and explained with a smile: "My heart grows on the right side and my liver grows on the left, so I picked up a life...... Half-life, I signed a contract for a life-and-death fight at the time, and I couldn't go to a serious hospital if I was seriously injured, but now I can only say that I have half a life left. ”

As he spoke, he tied his clothes back up, and Kitahara Shuji also withdrew his gaze and asked softly, "What happened?" This is obviously a vicious fight, and if you don't lose your life, you can only count Fukuzawa Naotaka lucky.

Fukuzawa Naokaka smiled faintly: "I used to be young and vigorous, and I thought that the swordsmanship I had cultivated through hard work was invincible in the world, and I went to gamble and fight for others, but I met a Kansai swordsman who was more talented and hardworking than myself. ”

"Gambling?"

"Sometimes there is a dispute between gangs but they don't want to make a big fuss and the police notice, so they will decide which side should back down in a heads-up way. At that time, there was a bad boy in the family, and I owed a lot of money to the gangster, so I agreed to go to the gambling fight to pay off the debt but ran away, and I was very confident in my swordsmanship, so I went on his behalf, and you can see the result. Fukuzawa Naotaka said it very plainly, so plain that it didn't look like he was talking about what happened to him, "Now that I think about it, I was really stupid at that time, no matter what kind of family reputation is not as good as living in peace." ”

After that, he pointed to the wine jug again and said with a smile: "I see that you have been holding back for a long time just now, are you trying to persuade me to drink less?"

Kitahara Shuji nodded slightly, and Fukuzawa Naokaka smiled and asked, "Are you still going to persuade now?" Kitahara Shuji hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.

He finally has a useless [Medical Skill LV5] skill, and he still knows some common sense. When the wound heals naturally, the new nerve endings will gradually grow into the scar and invade the surface, once the outside climate changes slightly, such as cloudy and rainy, these nerve endings will be stimulated to make people feel painful and itchy, and it is very uncomfortable, and look at Fukuzawa Naotaka's injury, it was obviously not treated seriously at that time, he could only survive and say that his life was hard enough, and now the scar has become like this, it is estimated that it is even more uncomfortable- There is no cure for this situation, and Fukuzawa Naokaka should have anesthetized himself by drinking.

It's not that this man has an alcohol addiction because of his lack of self-control, but that he really can't help it.

Fukuzawa Naotaka also looked out the window and sighed, "It's almost the rainy season, and the month of life is coming." ”

However, he quickly turned his gaze back, looked at Kitahara Shuji and said: "Kitahara-kun, there is an ancient Chinese saying called 'white blade in hand, killing intent rises', and those of us who have learned Guliu swordsmanship are the same, in many cases, we obviously have a better choice, but we can't help but want to use violence directly...... I'm not accusing you of what you did yesterday wrong, but judging from my life experience, there is obviously a better way to deal with those unfashionable thugs, and there is no need to use violence, but Kitahara-kun still chose to draw his sword and strike—but you are too young to think of it? Or do you just rely on yourself to learn the ancient flow swordsmanship and don't want to use your brain anymore?"

He paused, pointed to his temples and said with a smile: "Sword training is the brain, the mind, not the sword in the hand." Swordsmanship in modern society has no value of existence, and it is not too much to say that swordsmanship is dead, and there are still some effects of exercising mind and brainpower, at most it can barely be said that it is a kind of sports. Kitahara-kun, the first thing you should know when learning swords is...... Drawing a sword should always be a swordsman's last resort!"

He finally said lightly: "The current social rules, if you easily hurt others, you are a social outlier, if you want to have a great future in the future, it is better not to be labeled as an anomaly." ”

Kitahara Shuji listened quietly and didn't say anything for a while. He is also a strong-willed person, and a few words from others can't shake his mind, but he savored it in his heart for a moment, and he has to admit that Fukuzawa Naokaka has a point.

It's like yesterday, fighting the gangsters once is justified defense, and hitting twice is justified defense, so what about fighting a third time?

Aren't you a good bird......?

Violence should not be the first resort to solve problems, but the last resort - this Fukuzawa Naokaka is reminding himself not to get his hands dirty easily, to be an old yin in the future, not to be a brainless and reckless man.

Fukuzawa Naokaka saw that he didn't speak, shook his head lightly and smiled: "These should have been the words of the teacher who taught you swordsmanship, and Kitahara-kun's experience in sword learning is a bit ...... It's a little unbelievable, I think about it, I think I should still remind it, if there is something presumptuous, don't go to my heart, just listen to it. ”

He wasn't sure if Kitahara Shuji could understand these words, after all, in his eyes, Kitahara Shuji was just a sixteen-year-old boy, and no matter how steady and down-to-earth he was, he must have a bit of a young man's stubbornness.

But Kitahara Shuji lowered his head and thought for a while, and thanked him directly: "I understand what you mean, thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Kitahara Shuji's reasonableness made Fukuzawa Naokaka very pleased, and felt that his thoughts were finally in vain, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite all day long, Kitahara-kun, if you really want to thank me, it will be good to bring Akitaro one day in the future." Fukuzawa Naokaka made a half-truth joke, and struggled to get up--he had disemboweled, and it was estimated that his vitality was greatly damaged, no wonder he acted like an old man on weekdays-and said with a smile: "Kitahara-kun is actually much stronger than me, whether it is the talent of the sword or the calm courage of the sword, it is far better than the previous me, but there is something missing, if you don't mind, you can follow me inside to have a look." ”

Kitahara Shuji stretched out his hand and helped Fukuzawa Naotaka, but Fukuzawa Naotaka didn't care, and led him to an inconspicuous small door in the corner of the study. Kitahara Shuji opened the door first, and a strong smell of books and camphor immediately hit his face, and then he saw that inside was a library larger than the outside.

Fukuzawa Naokaka went first, rummaged through the bookshelves for a while, handed a book to Kitahara Shuji, and whispered in his mouth: "The character is not high, and it is always impossible to see through a good word; ”

He spoke Chinese, but it was Japanese-style Chinese, and it sounded weird, so he smiled and asked, "Can you understand?" ”

Kitahara Shuji looked down at the title of the book, "Night Talk Around the Fireplace", and then turned it over and saw that it was printed by the Tsinghua University Printing House...... He was a little powerless to complain, what does this mean, let himself read miscellaneous books?

He complained silently there, and Fukuzawa didn't stop with his hands and mouth, and handed him two books in turn-

"Don't be shocked by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; This could have been a nourishment. ”

"A misstep is a smile for the ages, and then looking back is a hundred years old. This could have purified the mind. ”

Kitahara Shuji looked at the titles of the books speechlessly, which were "Caigen Tan" and "Drunken Gutang Sword Sweep". He finally understood a little bit - this Fukuzawa Naokaka felt that his swordsmanship was already too powerful at his age, for fear that he would swell and embark on an evil path, so he wanted to let himself study and cultivate his self and purify his heart, so as not to make a big disaster one day when his brain was hot.

What's even more embarrassing is that I'm obviously a Chinese, but I really haven't read these books, and now an RB person has handed it over to me to let me study it, which ...... RB attaches great importance to Sinology, and thinks that it has a lot to do with personal quality, as if the civil service exam also has to test related content, but this is also too important, right, more powerful than the country of origin?

Fukuzawa Naokaka handed him the three books, saw that he was holding them without moving, and gave him another copy of "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Chinese Texts" as thick as a brick, and said with a smile: "Although there is a translation, I think that if Kitahara-kun can read it while translating, then he may understand more profoundly." Don't be afraid of trouble, if you compare Kitahara-kun himself to a sword, it is sharp enough, and what is lacking now is the ability to control the sword, and when you finish reading these books, control your sword well, it will definitely help you greatly in the future...... This is a little advice from me personally, as for whether you want to see it all in Kitahara-kun yourself. ”

Finally, he gently admonished, "Don't follow my old path, Kitahara-kun. ”
