Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Lesson
"This is the earliest swordsmanship of the first-class heart, representing the kendo style of that era!" Mouthing the lecture, Yanagi Motowa glanced at Aoki Sect Master and the four instructors standing by the wall.
When these five people heard that Liu Shengyuan and the disciples had officially opened a class today, they came to listen one by one, and they also said that the highest teacher had the obligation to help the teachers in the school improve the level of kendo.
At that time, the first-class heart was not called the first-class heart, but the straight heart flow. This sword is called a continuous slash!"
As he spoke, Yanagi held the sword in both hands and drew a Z-shape in the air.
"Do you see the characteristics of this sword? Use the length of the hilt of the sword, so that the left and right hands can exert force at the same time, when the front hand is to the left, the back hand is to the right, this sword is not to use both hands in the same direction, but to use both hands in the opposite direction, to get faster attack speed and more flexible move conversion!"
"At that time, the average samurai didn't have the money to get armor, so the moves didn't pay much attention to lethality, but to pay attention to more flexible moves!

"The sword introduced now is the secret sword Rock Breaking Slash left by Master Aoki Gomasa, who changed the straight heart flow to a first-class heart and revived the genre. ”
After speaking, Liu Shengyuan and muffled snort, and there was a burst of thunder rolling out, as if it was not just a sound coming from the nose, but the whole body, and resonated at the same time.
At the same time, he held the knife in both hands, and lifted it lightly from the bottom to the top, and when the knife reached the highest point, Liu Shengyuan and Huo Ran took half a step forward, and their whole bodies pressed forward, and the knife suddenly turned around and slashed, with a terrible roar of breaking wind, and a knife split a tetraketo target vertically in half!
Putting away the knife and standing, Liu Shengyuan and continued to explain:
"From this sword, it can be seen that in this era, the style of swordsmanship has changed from before, you can go to check the history, in this historical stage, with the development of smelting technology and weaving technology, the armor made of metal and bamboo armor has been more popular, and the protection ability of the samurai has been greatly enhanced.
Therefore, in this era, swordsmanship tends to pay more attention to attack power and armor-piercing ability, and does not pay much attention to lightweight and changeable swordsmanship.
It is precisely because of this change in the style of swordsmanship that in order to conform to the development of kendo at that time, Master Aoki Gomasa changed the straight heart flow to the heart first-class. Since then, the characteristics of kendo in this genre have changed from varied to powerful. ”

"Now the demonstration is the Iai slash, basically each kendo school has its own Iai, if you talk from the origin, the Iai slash is not a kind of upright swordsmanship, the so-called Iai, the Iai refers to the room, and the ai refers to the battle, so, the meaning of the Iai is the battle that takes place in the room, as the name suggests, initially, the Iai slash is the swordsmanship that launches a surprise attack in the room. ”
"About 150 years ago, when assassins were prevalent, etiquette was broken, and samurai often assassinated them, so this kind of Iai slash came into being. ”
"In a small area of the room, it is very difficult to dodge, so whoever pulls out the sword first can basically determine the victory, so the main study of the Iai slash is to draw the sword, and it is divided into standing and sitting Iai slashing.
Of course, in modern times, we no longer need this kind of sneak attack and conspiracy of the sitting slash, only the standing shack with a certain actual combat value still has some effect, therefore, I will demonstrate the standing shack to everyone!"
As he spoke, Yanagi Motokazu put the snow into the scabbard, held it in his left hand, and pasted it on his waist, which simulated the appearance of an ancient swordsman inserting a katana diagonally on his belt.
"Huh!" With a loud shout, Liu Shengyuanhe took half a step forward, twisted his waist and sent his hips, and at the same time used his waist to send the sword scabbard, and his right hand drew the sword at the same time, with the power of this half step forward and the waist to the top, the sword was unsheathed faster than the normal draw, and it swung out with a knife at an astonishing speed, and swept past a ketone sword target in front of him.
It's not that the strength and speed of this sword can only cut one keto target, but even in the first-class headquarters, there are usually few four-ketone targets prepared, after all, everyone doesn't need this thing on weekdays.
Just now, when he was slashed by Yanagi Shengyuan and the demo Rock Breaker, he cut another one. Now, in the entire headquarters, there is only one tetraketone target.
The Aoki Pavilion is also one of the designated test centers for the Japanese kendo test rank, and this four-ketone target must be kept, after all, according to the examination regulations, the test center must provide one ketone target to four ketone targets for candidates to choose.
Although ordinary candidates, as long as their brains are normal, no one will choose tetraketos as an examination tool, but what if they encounter a person with an abnormal brain?
Anyway, the purpose of today's class is just to demonstrate swordsmanship to everyone, not to emphasize the power of swordsmanship. So in order to save costs, the disciples simply found a keto target to make up the number.
"The secret of this sword is to draw the sword at the moment of half a step forward and twisting the waist to send the crotch, these two actions can speed up the speed of drawing the sword, as for the swordsmanship, there is no swordsmanship, the point is to use the moment the sword is out of the sheath, the moment when the scabbard has a certain obstruction effect on the tip of the sword, the resulting accumulation effect can make this sword faster than the normal swordsmanship. ”
As he spoke, Yanagi put the sword into the scabbard and demonstrated it again in slow motion. Especially the moment when the sword is unsheathed.
He deliberately slowed down his movements, so that everyone could see that the tip of the sword was still in the scabbard, and the arm had already made a slashing motion, because the scabbard blocked the tip of the sword, so the arm was bent like a slingshot, and as the sword was completely removed from the sheath, this part of the potential energy burst out in an instant, causing the sword to slash faster than usual.

"Okay, the first-class 214 Secret Sword has been demonstrated today, if you want to learn that secret sword, go to the Aoki brothers and sisters to register. Finally, since you are my disciples, I certainly have something unique to teach you. ”
"What I want to teach you is the living sword, all the disciples under my name must practice the living sword, don't ask me why, I will explain to you when I have time, it's not early today, I'll demonstrate it first, you go back and figure it out, if there is any problem, you can ask me questions when you guide separately in the future!"
The nine disciples standing in two rows below, plus a first-class sect master who was standing by the wall and listening, and the four cultivators, could only listen quietly, after all, Liu Shengyuan and Du had already said that they were not allowed to ask questions.
"I know that many of you here don't look down on the Living Sword, but I still have to say that the Living Sword is the best basic sword technique I have ever seen in the kendo world. ”
After Liu Shengyuan finished speaking, he stood with his sword in his hand, and his eyes were straight with his sword, this is the starting style of the living sword, and there is no one present who does not know.
Speaking of which, as a famous negative textbook in Japanese history, among the people who took kendo as a profession, none of them had ever seen a living sword, and they had more or less seen other people's demonstrations or videos, even if they had practiced it themselves.
However, Yanagi and the Demo and Living Swords were different from what they had ever seen. It's not that the moves are very different, but they are exactly the same moves, giving people the feeling that they are completely two swordsmanship.
In Yanagi Yuanhe's hands, a complete set of living swords is flowing smoothly, and he can't tell which move which one is which, but he only feels that between the actions and the actions, it is simply logical, and it seems that there is no need to use force at all, and naturally the power of the previous action will promote the performance of the next action.
With Yanagi Shengyuan and the fluttering white kendo uniform, this is not so much a set of swordsmanship as it is a set of sword dances.
Maybe the male disciples present didn't care too much about whether they looked good or not, but the female disciples had obviously been emotionally mobilized, and their eyes were shining, staring at the teacher's demonstration with their whole body, for fear of missing a little detail of the action.
There are a total of one hundred and twelve types of living swords, Yanagi Yuanhe stood in the center of the field, each sword was unfolded one by one by the body, law, steps, and eyes, with the sword path, and later, it was not like dancing the sword, but using the sword as a dance partner, dancing a pas de deux.
In Liu Shengyuanhe's hands, the whole set of living swords has neither a majestic momentum nor a murderous expression, and the whole set of swordsmanship is like a gentle slope in the mountains, with a quiet stream flowing naturally along the mountain.
At the beginning, in the hands of Aoki Ryoji, there were some cumbersome and redundant movements, but under the sword of Yanagi Motowa, the appearance has completely changed, and these movements have brought the entire set of swordsmanship to life, from a set of stiff routine swordsmanship that can only exercise basic swordsmanship, to a set of dance-style swordsmanship that is pleasing to the eye.
With the footwork and swordsmanship of Yanagi Yuanhe, everything is so logical and looks effortless. Until Yanagi Shengyuan and returned to his upright posture and ended the demonstration of the entire set of living swords, everyone hadn't come back to such a smooth swordsmanship, why did it end like this?
"Okay, that's the end of today's teaching, this dojo has video equipment, you can ask the Aoki brothers and sisters for a video, go back and study slowly, the next time I start the class, everyone has to put forward their own learning direction for me, at the same time, to practice the living sword, next time I will assess everyone's progress." ”
As he spoke, Yanagi Yuanhe walked towards the locker room, which was now his dedicated kendo room, which was the largest kendo room in the inner dojo of the heart's first-class inner dojo, and it was in line with his name as the highest teacher;
Second, in the first-class heart, there are a total of six teachers, and none of them are like him, who accepts nine disciples as soon as he receives them, you must know that this kind of disciple is not the same as the inner disciples of the inner dojo, and the inner disciples, representing the backbone of the school, can go to a few big classes for each teacher with a first-class heart.
And this kind of personal or named disciple is a professor who wants the teacher to teach by hand, and the inner disciple wants to discipline the teacher, and this kind of disciple, the official title of Yanagi Yuanhe is Master.
If it was anyone else, the disciples would have been either strictly disciplined or cordial at this time, after all, these disciples would be the lineage of the master in the future, but Yanagi Yuanhe was good, and after finishing the class, as if he was afraid of being asked, he slipped into the dressing room, leaving only nine disciples staring at the dojo and not knowing what to do.
"Hmm" Aoki Ryoji saw his father standing by the wall flying over with an eye dart, and only then did he react, he was the chief disciple announced by the master, how could he not speak at this time?
He first made a little noise to attract everyone's attention, and then spoke: "Master has already explained just now, and everyone has also seen Master's demonstration of all the secret legends of the heart, so those who have chosen to study the secret sword can come to me first to register, and I will tell the master."
In addition, Master just instructed everyone to practice the living sword, and I know that the living sword you usually see is definitely different from the one that Master just demonstrated, so wait for everyone to leave your email address.
Forget it, for the sake of insurance, I will engrave the living sword demonstrated by the teacher just now into a disc and distribute it to everyone, please pay attention to confidentiality, after all, this is also the teacher's hard work, and it is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world without the teacher's consent!"
At the beginning, Aoki Ryoji was a little hesitant to speak as the chief disciple, but when he spoke, he became fluent.
After all, he has also seen some of the world, especially at the Sword Heroes Meeting, listening to the video analysis of the trial between the master and Chief Sasaki of the Sword Heroes, listening to the video analysis of the master and Chief Sasaki, it really opened his eyes and gave him a completely different understanding of the kendo world.
Just such a swordsman meeting, from the perspective of kendo, even if his father Aoki Yukimi saw it, he might not be able to broaden it more than him.
Therefore, in the face of these fellow disciples, he unconsciously felt a sense of superiority in his heart.
"Sect Master, what do you think of Yagyu Teacher's lecture today?" When several disciples dispersed and practiced separately, the four teachers and Aoki Yukimi gathered in Aoki Yuki's curator's office and chatted.
"What do you think?" asked Aoki Yuki, holding the tea in his hand, smiling.
"The kendo class is not very good, but the level of kendo of the teacher is really amazing! In three days, in just three days, he has mastered all the two hundred and fourteen secret swords that have been accumulated in our hearts over the years!"
"Yes, I've never heard of a person being able to master more than two hundred secret swords together in three days! Originally, I was a little worried about Master Noguchi's visit over the weekend, but now, not to mention the final solution proposed by Mr. Yagyu, the two hundred and fourteen secret swords he mastered alone are already well-deserved. ”
"Don't talk about these two hundred and fourteen secret swords, you didn't pay attention to the living sword that the teacher demonstrated at the end?"
"Maybe this is the true face of the Living Sword, our first-class swordsmen have figured it out wrong! However, if the swordsman of the New Yin Stream Inner Gate had this level back then, how could he lose to others?"
"The same swordsmanship is not the same person, the two hundred and fourteen secret swords that he demonstrated earlier, there is always a person who knows, do you practice the same as the teacher?"
"The sect master has still seen people from afar! At that time, I was still opposed to granting the Liusheng Normal Exemption License, and it was rumored that in the end, it was the sect master, and his vision was superior!"
"Hahaha" Aoki Yukimi couldn't help but laugh proudly, these people are all their own people here, these people have never slapped their own asses like this before, everyone grew up together, who doesn't know who?
These few sects, even if they use their identity as the sect master, sometimes they can't hold it down, you must know that Aoki Yukimi is the only sect master who has not obtained the identity of a sword master among the last three generations of sect masters. Therefore, it is impossible to say that among the following brothers, there is no opinion, but everyone is with each other, and the others are not mixed with the sword heroes, so the eldest brother should not talk about the second brother.
Even a few days ago, when the sect ceremony was held, Aoki Yukimi was still a little worried, after all, he fraudulently awarded Liu Shengyuan and a title that is exempt from all transmissions, which is a big hidden danger!
But today, when I look at it, the hidden danger is no longer a hidden danger, although some of the secret swords that Liu Shengyuan and the demonstration have mastered are secret swords, but they look like two swordsmanship at all, and the problem is that Liu Shengyuan and the swordsmanship he cast are obviously more clever!
If it weren't for the fact that several of these swordsmanship were created by his father when he was alive and taught to him by hand, even Aoki Xing would have wondered if he had a wrong understanding of the sect's secret sword!
"Alas, what a pity!" Thinking about it, Aoki Yukimi couldn't help but sigh.
"What's a pity? Big brother, you have been lucky enough to dig up such a piece of treasure by walking shit, what else do you have to pity?" It was Aoki Yuki's cousin who spoke, Aoki Hara, everyone was in a good mood discussing the future development of the first-class heart, but the elder brother suddenly sighed, wouldn't it be disappointing?
"It's a pity that Yanagi-kun is so young that he is both engaged, and it would be great if Ema could marry him, so that our first-class future would be more secure. Aoki Yukimi sighed again and said.
Several teachers looked at each other, and for a while, several people were thoughtful, and no one spoke. ...
