Chapter 115: Two Knife Streams

Su Yuan looked each other up and down, his body was strong, his eyes were sharp, especially his hands were covered with calluses, and he looked like a master of sword practice all year round.

When I thought of seeing the so-called kendo on TV, isn't it just two people wearing protective gear and chopping around with two bamboo swords?

Saemon felt the disapproval from Su Yuan, as if he understood something, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a misunderstanding of the real kendo, just like your martial arts, the kendo that is now circulating in the market has been reduced to a performance, and it is not even different from dance." ”

"The real kendo is a killing technique, I have heard a sentence about your country's description of national arts?"

"Only kill, don't perform!"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Hu Che in front of him, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Real sword and real gun?"

Yanagi Saemon straightened his waist and said: "There is no protective gear, between the samurai, life and death are only in the blink of an eye, and the winner is king." ”

Su Yuan's face became solemn after hearing this, recalling Saemon's words just now, it seems that behind the huge interests is a bloody struggle, no wonder even the dignified head of the Yagyu family attaches so much importance to it.

"Hey, I think about how beautiful the ancestors were back then, Liu Sheng was a dog for three days, and he was admired by thousands of people, but it's a pity that he ...... now."

Saemon sighed, although the Yagyu family is rich and powerful, known as a famous family, but for the background of the samurai, it is more and more lonely, and said helplessly: "Many people doubt, after my death, will the new Yin Stream of Yanagi still exist?"

Liu Sheng Long Ming kowtowed heavily, his face was full of death, and he said loudly: "Family master, don't worry, this time you will swear to die for the Liu Sheng family!"

Saemon shook his head and said with a strong spirit: "Do your best, and show your guests today." ”

Liu Sheng Longming stood up, took Hu Che with both hands, and took out a short blade from his arms, holding a long knife in his right hand and a short knife in his left hand.

"Two-knife flow?"

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, the legendary two knife streams, the Tai Dao plus the waki, the nirvana of the Yanagi Ten Guards!

Watching Yanagi Ryumei begin to demonstrate the knife technique, Saemon introduced: "The so-called two-knife attack method is basically to hold the opponent with a small knife, and at the same time attack the vital point with a large knife, or stab. Resist with a knife when an opponent attacks, while countering with a broadsword. ”

"The master is over-acting, the mind is not single-minded, life and death fight, and any negligence is fatal defeat. Therefore, the second knife stream is mostly used to use a small knife to be hit by the opponent and a big knife, taking advantage of the gap to hit the opponent's flawed parts. ”

"At that time, there were very few swordsmen in the kendo world who knew and could use dual swords, and many people had many doubts about the value of the second sword stream, thinking that this kind of combat method was an evil demon outside the way, until a person appeared. ”

Miyamoto Musashi!

The originator of the first-class mountain of Ertian, known as the strongest swordsman in history.

Speaking of this, Saemon said with reverence on his face: "Before Musashi founded the Ersword-ryu school of swordsmanship, it didn't matter about the two-sword-flow, the two-sword battle method might just be an act of a person who had not been taught swordsmanship in a hurry, as if he grabbed two sticks and waved them alternately, and felt more powerful." ”

"Incompatible with the kendo techniques of many samurai, although Musashi has not systematically studied any school of swordsmanship, but in his hidden eyes, there is no disdain for fighting with two swords, only a desire for victory. ”

"After Musashi's improvements, the handle of the sword was lengthened, and the function of striking the enemy with both hands and the handle of the knife was retained, and he often used a sword to fight, relying on superhuman wrist strength and incomparable sensitivity to distance to win duels, and did not use the second sword until his later years. ”

"So Ertian First-Class is a genre that can choose a long knife or a short knife to fight alone, strictly speaking, it is not a truly pure Second Knife Stream, but our Yanagi New Yin Stream is different!"

He took out a few more knives and said, "The Ten Guards have further improved the knives, the blades have become shorter to make it easier for the two knives to match, and the arc of the blades has become smaller to make it easier to stab straight. The most important thing is that the handle has become a shorter handle that is more suitable for both hands, so this is a serious double knife flow. ”

After speaking, he stood up violently and said solemnly: "Miyamoto Musashi has made great contributions to developing this kind of swordsmanship into a first-class two-day one, making it acceptable to the world, and allowing more people to learn and develop this kind of swordsmanship." ”

"But Yagyu Shibei made the second sword flow a true double-sword battle, and made the swordsmanship more reasonable by improving the weapon, and no longer had to rely on the innate heterogeneity to increase the combat power. ”

"Our Yanagi family is the biggest contributor to the second knife stream!"

Su Yuan could only stand up cooperatively, nodded in agreement with a serious face, and said secretly in his heart: "Ah Q is not bad, as long as he is cool." ”

Suddenly, Yanagi Saemon came to him a few steps, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Please also ask the master to help and restore the former glory of the Yanagi family!"

Su Yuan hurriedly helped the other party up, and asked his brother to help cast the sword for a long time, why is he talking so much nonsense?

Who made him Huimei's father, Su Yuan nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, Su will go all out and it is incumbent on him." ”

Saemon bowed deeply again, secretly relieved in his heart, and finally received an affirmative answer, and the two sat down again.

He filled his hands with tea and said with a smile: "Although the Kendo Alliance is known as a hundred schools of thought, there are only seven or eight truly powerful schools, and our Yanagi New Yin Stream can only be regarded as second-rate, and the other six are dominant." ”

Beichen is a knife stream,

natural rational flow,

The mirror heart knows the flow,

Juhedao,

Two days first-class,

And the most mysterious of all, Iga-ryu, the legendary ninja!

Su Yuan was a little enthusiastic, he didn't expect that the little devil still had the feeling of rivers and lakes here, isn't this the six major sects?

"The so-called kendo award every year is to promote kendo culture and enhance national cohesion. In fact, behind it is the redistribution of interests, and each sect has the support of the chaebol, such as the most mainstream Beichen Yidaoliu, behind which is Hitachi. ”

"The natural flow of reason is supported by Mitsubishi, and the others have deep backgrounds, so they can form monopolies in various places and carve up huge profits. ”

"As for our Yagyu Shin Yin Stream, because there has been no outstanding samurai in a hundred years, the influence can only be in the Kyoto range, if we lose again this year, then ......"

Su Yuan looked at Saemon's expression, no wonder he said for a long time, for the samurai-born Yanagi family, no matter how big the business is, if it loses its essence, it will really exist in name only.

This is not even as good as Hitachi and Mitsubishi Freedom, after all, they are not born as samurai, as long as they have money, they will support whoever they want. It doesn't matter if you are a samurai, you will make money in the end, and you can still watch the fun.

Although helpless, Su Yuan understood this feeling, or an inexplicable sense of glory. Like craftsmanship, the responsibility of several generations of conscientious work and a hundred years of inheritance is itself a huge pressure on future generations.

Thinking of this, he promised: "Although Su is not a samurai, he also pays attention to a happy enmity, and he has the fate to meet masters from all walks of life, so he naturally can't miss it!"
