Chapter Seventy-Six: The Copy of the Moon, the Divine Sword, the Murder Knife, and the Sword of the Living
"Ah, it turns out that you want to learn the Divine Sword!" Liu Shengyuanhe frowned, if it had been placed a month ago, Yanagi Yuanhe would not have known what the hell the Divine Sword was.
However, some time ago, before leaving Tokyo and going straight to Hokkaido, Oshima Hui gave him four kendo-related classics, one of which was "Tsuki-no-Sho" by Yagyu Shibei Sanyan.
Yanagi Shibei Sanyan is the last of the three sword saints of the Yanagi family, and his swordsmanship secret book "Copy of the Moon" can be said to bring together the essence of the Yanagi family's kendo, so no matter who it is, as long as it is someone who has studied the new Yin stream kendo, they can't avoid this one.
Liu Shengyuan and nature are no exception, no way, who gave him the surname Liu Sheng, he was a child who listened to his father tell the story of Liu Sheng's Three Sword Saints, and only then went to learn the way of the sword, so he was quite interested in "The Copy of the Moon" written by Liu Sheng Shibei Sanyan.
And the real pioneer of the first-class heart, who also improved the Aoki family's straight heart flow kendo to the first-class heart of the sword, also worshiped under the Yagyu Shibei Sanyan sect, and was a swordsman who obtained the 'exemption certificate'. Therefore, in the first-class database of the heart, "The Copy of the Moon" also occupies a very important position.
In "The Copy of the Moon", the basic swordsmanship theory is omitted first, and the real swordsmanship has a total of seven secret swords and a mystery, and this trick is the magic sword.

"If the master is embarrassed, forget it, the disciple is willing to learn any swordsmanship taught by the master. Seeing Yanagi Yuanhe frowning, Aoki Ryoji hurriedly kowtowed again.
He is not like his sister, he has a classmate friendship with this newly pierced young swordsman master, and he can speak casually, but he doesn't have this friendship, and he doesn't know what Yanagi Yuanhe's temperament is? As a disciple who has just started - or in private, without being recognized by the kendo world - if he really annoys the master and is expelled from the house, even if his father Aoki Yukimi sees it, it is not easy to help speak.
In case the chief disciple of Jian Hao, this duck that has already reached his beak, flies, he will regret it!
Yanagi Yuanhe didn't expect to frown himself, and the chief disciple who had just accepted it reacted so loudly: "If you want to learn the Divine Sword, it's not impossible, but the cultivation of the Divine Divine Sword requires the body of a warrior!" ”
In fact, in the "Copy of the Moon", there is no mention of any requirements for the cultivation of the Divine Sword, but what kind of person Liu Shengyuan is, his grasp and understanding of the body can be said to have reached an extremely subtle realm, and as soon as he looks at the "Copy of the Moon", he knows that this thing is not something for ordinary swordsmen to practice.
Especially the last magic sword, this thing is not a serious sword technique at all, but a theoretical speculation, however, Yanagi Shibei drew a few sword structures on it decently, making people think that this is a secret sword.
In Yanagi Yuanhe's opinion, this wonderful sword should be an effort made by Yanagi Shibei Sanyan in order to explore the realm of the Sword Saint.
Historically, Yanagi Shibei Sanyan died at the age of forty-three, and died in the prime of life as a sword hero, and it is difficult to say whether it was because he embarked on the road of the sword saint that he died.

This time, Aoki Ryoji didn't dare to say a word more, he knelt forward, knelt in front of Yanagi Yuanhe, kowtowed respectfully, and then put his head on the ground.
He is not as incomprehensible as his sister, in the Sword Hero Society, what does it mean to be the chief disciple of the official Sword Hero, his father has explained it to him in detail, not to mention the various interests of becoming the successor of the Sword Hero and the peripheral members of the Sword Hero Association, just to be able to successfully inherit the position of the first-class sect master of the heart, it is already worth his great efforts.
Yanagi Motowa didn't care about Aoki Ryoji's movements, he thought it was a first-class master-apprentice etiquette.
Yanagi Yuanhe stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on Aoki Ryoji's back, where the internal strength was pervasive, Aoki Ryoji's physical condition was vividly visible.
"Lianji, your foundation is very good!" Yanagi Yuanhe gave a rare compliment, Aoki Lianji's figure is slender and powerful, not like basketball players and track and field athletes, the muscles of the lower limbs are significantly stronger than the upper body.
In Aoki's even and long breathing, Yanagi sensed that from the outside to the inside, Aoki's body was in a relatively even state of equilibrium. This is a rare state, strictly speaking, Yanagi Yuanhe's body also belongs to this state, but his body is far stronger than Aoki Ryoji, and the linkage between various body tissues is much better.
"President——、 Eh, E-Zhen, you can also come and take a look at me. Yanagi Yuanhe was curious in his heart, this state of internal and external equilibrium, he didn't find it in his heart, including Aoki Yuki's curator, but he didn't expect it to appear in Aoki Ryoji's body.
"Hey!" Aoki Ema followed his brother's example, and knelt forward in front of Motokazu Yagyu.
To tell the truth, after two years of getting along with classmates, such a strong President Aoki knelt in front of him in this posture, and Yanagi Yuanhe was still a little dark in his heart, of course, his face would not show this kind of expression.
"Huh!" Aoki Eima's physical state is not at all like Aoki Ryoji, she is obviously stronger in the arms, chest, back, waist and other parts of the strength, which is a characteristic of most kendo practitioners, this local strength has broken the balance of the whole body.
Of course, this kind of body distribution can explode stronger strength and speed in kendo competitions, but for Yanagi Motokazu, such a body is far less valuable as an experimental object than Aoki Ryoji.
"That-Ejin, do you two brothers and sisters practice kendo differently on weekdays?" asked Yanagi Motokazu.
"Wow, Yanagi Jun, you can even see this? No, Master, how did you see it?" Aoki Ema has always felt a little uncomfortable with Yanagi Yuanyuan and being her master, she still admires Yanagi Yuanhe's kendo attainments, but just like this, with a simple press of her hand on her back, you can know that you and her brother have different ways of exercising on weekdays, which is also a little too fantastical.
"I can't understand this, but let's show me how you train on a daily basis. After getting through the initial discomfort, Yanagi Yuanhe felt that it was quite interesting to be a master, especially when it was his senior sister who called himself master, and there was a sense of pleasure of bad taste.
"Cut, who's rare!" Aoki muttered quietly. Then from the knife rack in the room, he picked up a wooden knife, which was not the kind of bamboo sword used by everyone in the school kendo club, but a hardwood that had been cut into the shape of a katana like the one used by Yanagi and the previous ones.
Aoki first demonstrated the sixteen basic types of first-class kendo, and then performed twelve sets of basic kendo routines.
Aoki Ema's expression is focused, and his movements are concise and powerful, crisp and sharp. For a moment, the only thing left in the room was the sound of her kendo uniform rattling as she wielded a wooden knife.
After the demonstration, she stood with her knife closed, panting a little.
"That's all?" asked Yanagi Motokazu.
"That's right, that's all for the basics of kendo. Aoki replied as a matter of course.
Yanagi Yuanhe shook his head and asked Aoki Ryoji to go up and demonstrate his usual way of exercising: "Ryoji, you demonstrate how you usually train." ”
"Please correct Master!" Aoki Ryoji picked up his wooden knife, bowed to Yanagi Motowa, and then walked to the middle of the field.
He first put the wooden knife vertically in front of him, and suddenly his wrist straightened, and the blade of the wooden knife was outward, and the spine of the knife was facing the center of the eyebrows.
Then 'hi' shouted, a sword turned straight out, closed the sword, and then did the upper section, straight chopping down, and then turned around to do a robe chop, one step at a time, advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
His movements are slightly stiff in and out, and there are many seemingly unnecessary hand-and-foot postures in his sword path, which makes his swordsmanship look less crisp than Aoki's.
Although it can be seen that the basic kendo style and routines performed by Aoki Eiji are faintly in the same vein as the basic types and routines performed by Aoki Ejin, Aoki Eima's sword path is far more concise and efficient than Aoki Ryoji's sword path.
"Cut, my brother likes to practice these flashy things. "Watching my brother turn left and right in the middle of the venue, performing his set of ancient swordsmanship back and forth, Aoki Ema felt a little dissatisfied, obviously Yanagi Yuanhe, okay, now it's the master, I want them to perform their usual training results, how can my brother take out this set of 'living sword' to practice? 'Living sword' has been proven by actual combat to be a failed swordsmanship.
'Living Sword' is the first sword saint of the three swordsmen of Yanagi, the first sword saint Yanagi Soyan was founded, when the sword saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had retired, Yagyu Soren Yan became famous, was the swordsmanship teacher of the shogun at that time, and was faintly the first swordsman in the RB world.
Yagyu Sect Yan studied under the Kamiizumi Shinzuna Sword Master, and after he obtained the 'Waiver Certificate' from the Shinryu of the Kamiizumi Shinzuna Sword Master, after years of training, he founded the Shinyin Ryu Kendo, and his writings on the 'Murder Knife', 'Living Man's Sword', and 'No Blade Scroll' were the most famous swordsmanship cheats at that time.
Among them, the volume of the 'Murder Knife' is the swordsmanship taught by the new Yin Stream, and the 'Living Sword' is the mastery of the Yanagi family's own inner disciples, and it is not passed on to the outside world.
As for the 'Scroll without a Knife', there is only one name left for the trick of 'Takeless Knife', which is said to be a white-knuckled technique, anyway, except for some occasions when the two sides cooperate to perform, I haven't seen the swordsman in a life-and-death duel, there is really a sword that is not used, and the one who goes up to grab the sword empty-handed - the one who does not carry the sword does not count.
Why did Aoki say that the 'Living Sword' was proven to be a failure in actual combat?
This involves one of the biggest jokes in the history of RB kendo.
The Yanagi family was in full swing in the RB kendo world at that time, and their secret 'living sword' was blown up in the RB kendo world at that time.
It seems that all the children of the Yanagi family who have practiced the 'Living Sword' have jumped to another level of swordsmanship, the so-called 'Sword of No Killing', from the idea of fighting with the sword, the blood-drenched ordinary swordsmen have distanced themselves, one by one, high on their toes.
But later, there was a swordsman who only learned the scroll of the 'Murder Knife', and he couldn't join the inner door of Yanagi's family and learn the 'Living Sword' by all means.
In order to be able to see the miraculous 'Living Sword' that the Yanagi family was rumored, he hoped to see the true inheritance of the Yanagi family by challenging the true disciples of the 'Living Sword'.
As a result, there were three swordsmen in the Yanagi family at that time, of course, all majoring in the 'Living Sword', and these three swordsmen were easily defeated by him with the 'Murder Knife', which made the kendo world in an uproar at that time, and for a while, the reputation of the Yanagi family fell to the bottom.
In order to restore the prestige of the Yanagi family, under the witness of the shogun at the time, ten outer disciples who learned the 'murder knife' in the new Yin Stream, and the ten inner disciples of the Yanagi family one-on-one, conducted a pre-imperial trial, and the result was that the inner disciples were defeated in ten battles, and the outer disciples who learned the 'murder knife' were far more powerful than the inner disciples who learned the true transmission of the 'living sword'.
This is one of the most famous jokes in the history of RB kendo that has even survived to this day. Liu Sheng's new Yin Stream later declined and perished, which had a lot to do with the imperial trial of the inner and outer disciples this time.
As a first-class heart that has inherited most of the inheritance of the new Yin Stream, there are naturally two swordsmanship cheats of 'Murder Knife' and 'Living Sword' ('Living Sword' has been worthless since then, so it has been passed down), and has learned the lesson of the failure of the Yanagi family, and in the first-class heart, there are almost no people who practice the 'Living Sword'.
Everyone generally learns the first-class swordsmanship that has been improved and developed by the Aoki family, and the main source of this swordsmanship is the 'murder knife', but the first-class heart not only inherits most of the swordsmanship of the new Yin Stream, but also inherits the spirit of Yagyu Zongyan's swordsmanship, and the overall purpose is still to 'not kill'.
'Papapa' waited until Aoki Ryoji finished demonstrating his swordsmanship, and Yanagi Yuanhe applauded.
"Lianji, very good, very good. "Yanagi Yuanhe Lian said two very good, his mood is really good, originally, the choice of Aoki Ryoji as his chief disciple, mainly to return Aoki to meet a favor, I didn't expect this Aoki Ryoji to have laid such a foundation, then, serious training, to be his own chief disciple, it can be regarded as qualified.
