Chapter 693: Why is this sword called the way of the sword?
"What is this for?" Fang Long looked at this scene, and the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and asked with a smile.
Hong Bao next to him smiled: "Circus performance~~"
Sheng Xiamei and Lin Haifeng were both nervous.
But when Fang Long and Hong Bao were still smiling, they watched Chiba Jing take out a shiny katana, wipe it with a holy face, and then put it back into the scabbard, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Master Chiba, you can begin...... Okamoto has just finished saying the word "up".
Just watched Chiba Jing draw his knife out, the sword light shone in the air, and the thick bamboo in front of him had already been cut into 4 pieces.
Then he turned around and put away the knife, and then in front of the cucumber that was flat on the table, slashed horizontally, the knife light flashed again, and the 20-centimeter-long cucumber was actually cut from the middle, and the top half of the cucumber flew out with the knife light, while the lower half was still lying firmly on the table.
At this time, the staff threw three apples over, and everyone still only saw the knife light flashing several times in the reflection of the light, and the three apples turned into six petals when they fell to the ground.
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, and Fang Long and Hong Bao's faces changed.
This Chiba Jing is known as the 'Dongying Sword Soul', but he is almost fifty years old, and his sword speed is already at this level.
In terms of martial arts, Chiba Jing has perfected the realm.
After the shock, the scene burst into thunderous applause, and the host Matt excitedly shouted:
"It's amazing~~!It's amazing, this is the legendary 'Toei Sword Soul' Chiba Kyo!
The last cut apple is the famous move 'fine snow' of Tachibana Ukyo in "True Samurai Shodown"!!"
The characters in "Samurai Shogun" cut apples like this, and Chiba Kyo actually realized the game's tricks in reality! It's really eye-opening.
At this time, Chiba Jing's face was full of gloom, he looked at Su Huai, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Su, I remember you said in your speech that we are called this warrior, and we once defeated Shaolin warriors in the Ming Dynasty, may I ask you, how do you think my skills are better than those of the warrior ronin hundreds of years ago?"
Chiba Jing asked this, just to force Su Huai to answer.
If Su Huai said that he has profound skills, then it is equivalent to agreeing with the cultural heritage of "True Samurai Soul".
But if Su Huai said that he was not as good as the Wako ronin back then, then he would challenge Fang Long and Hong Bao to the Shaolin lay disciples, defeat them, and prove that he, who is "not as good as the Wako", can beat the Shaolin disciples! Break Su Huai's previous remark that "the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin"!
It can be said that no matter how Su Huai answers, he will be forced to a dead end today.
Fang Long, Hong Bao was still laughing at Chiba Jing for being a circus just now, but now he can't say a word.
Su Huai smiled slightly: "People are not cucumbers, pillars, they don't move there for you to chop, and Chinese martial arts are not circus performances." ”
There was a burst of soft shouts at the scene, no mistake...... Su Huai actually publicly ridiculed Chiba Jing, wasn't he afraid that this "Dongying Sword Soul" would go crazy?
Chiba Jing was unmoved, and just asked lightly: "Mr. Su is right, it was indeed just a circus performance just now, but you haven't answered my question yet." ”
"Mr. Chiba, can you lend me the knife? Su Huai stretched out his hand unexpectedly.
"Mr. Su, you also know knives?" Chiba Kyo was slightly surprised and handed over his katana,
Su Huai took the knife in his hand, and lightly flicked the "bell!" with his fingers, and praised: "Good knife~"
"The famous sword 'Kamakura Katana', which has been passed down from generation to generation by Ren Xia Dao, is naturally a good sword. Chiba Kyo said proudly.
Su Huai clenched his hands and slowly raised his knife, comparing the chopping posture of the warrior:
"General Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty, in the twelve-volume "New Book of Ji Xiao", "Short Instrument Long Solution" recorded: 'Long knife, this has been since the invasion of China. He flashed forward with this dance, and our soldiers were already angry. The sword is five feet long, and it is five feet larger. It is difficult for my soldiers to catch short weapons, and long weapons are not short, and those who suffer from them are more than two broken. The edge of the tool is sharp and the hands are used, and the force is heavy. ”
Of course, Chiba Jing knew who Qi Jiguang was in Su Huai's mouth, this military general, who was already a household name in this book because of Su Huai's description of the history of the anti-Japanese war, and he was quite proud to hear it:
"Mr. Su is really an expert. ”
Su Huai shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
"What is a pity?" Chiba Kyo frowned slightly.
Su Huai didn't answer and asked: "Mr. Chiba, do you know why you Samurai use this sword, and why do you use it called Kendo instead of Dao?"
Chiba Jing was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Su Huai to suddenly ask this question, thought for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Because in the book, the sword is a thing, not a separate ......"
But when he said this, he was stunned for a moment...... Because he had already guessed Su Huai's intention to ask him, he looked up at Su Huai coldly:
"Mr. Su is saying that we are talking about this sword, and we are also here to spread it from your Huaxia?"
Only Huaxia in the world calls the double blade "sword", and the face-to-face "blade" is called a knife, and it is said that the knife is used, but it is called "the way of the sword", if it is not handed down from Huaxia, how can there be such a strange name.
Su Huai nodded and said: "In Huaxia, this kind of two-handed long knife, called Tang knife, is used on the battlefield, but the essence is a set of swordsmanship. ”
"Since it's called Tang Dao, how can you use swordsmanship?" Chiba Jing said in a deep voice.
Su Huai straightened the katana so that everyone could see the slightly curved shape:
"On the battlefield, the two-handed long sword is stabbed out in order to break the weak point of the opponent's armor. Therefore, although the Tang knife is called a knife, the blade is straight, in order to pursue a powerful stabbing attack. ”
Chiba Jing said in a deep voice: "But I say this katana, but it is bent, which is different from your Tang sword." ”
"It's different. Su Huai said lightly:
"That's because you said that there was a lack of iron in ancient times, and there was very little iron armor, so the use of this kind of katana on the battlefield could be invincible, in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the southeast coast, and they were all defended by the Chinese militia, so they could not resist this kind of katana, but Hua said that in the Korean battlefield, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops under the command of the famous generals of the Warring States could meet the heavy armored regular army of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and they could not form an army, which is said to be the limitation of the katana......"
After Su Huai finished speaking, he took a few steps back and forth with a katana, and Chiba Jing's face changed instantly: "Your step is the pace of the sword...... Where did you learn that!?"
Su Huai sighed slightly, and said: "A passage in his "Guangdong Xinyu Yu" describes the use of knives by the Ming Dynasty Qu Dajun, who leads the rampant fighting, fluttering like the wind.
Its knife is also, long to the degree, short to tend to cross, squatting as a step, retreat as a felling.
The arm is on the wrist, and the pick is to hide the skimming. Pig crab run, 10,000 people are easy, and the stunts in the real island are also.
Unexpectedly, after the catastrophe, you actually took a katana to practice cutting wood, only chopping and chopping, but you forgot the most important kendo footwork, which really shouldn't be. ”
Qianye Jing was originally full of momentum, but at this time, his face became more and more solemn, because Su Huai said every word to the point, but after all, he was the "Dongying Sword Soul", so he quickly calmed down and said solemnly:
"Mr. Su's words, I can't refute them, it's better to use the facts to confirm what you said, you can let any Shaolin disciple come up, as long as anyone breaks my sword technique, I will admit what you said. ”
As soon as Chiba Jing said this, everyone in the audience was looking at each other, and now the embarrassing thing is that "True Samurai Shomurai" uses swords, and "The King of Fighters 97" uses fists and feet, how can these two different types of martial arts compare?
