Chapter 62: Time is Rushing
It's been a long time since the last time I returned from Tianhe.,Natsume's life is gradually on the right track.,Every day in the morning with Yaunna、Daocheng Temple bell to learn kendo、Judo and other martial arts courses.,The things to learn in the afternoon are much more cumbersome, basically divided into three categories:1、Methods of cultivating divine power and controlling divine power 2、Cultural courses 3、Etiquette courses,Wait until the evening The busy Inari will personally come to check Natsume's homework and test what he has learned in the day.。
The morning class is divided into kendo and judo, and in kendo, the sword swinging action is repeated thousands of times a day to stand in front of each other, hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, raise it above the head and slash downward, etc., to practice the pace, arc, power, and force control when swinging the sword, and practice the swinging action repeatedly with keen attention to improve Natsume's agility and dexterity.
The posture of kendo is to practice with the aim of reacting quickly to the opponent's movements at all times, so it is a physical state that gradually becomes accustomed to instantaneous movements and can react to any movement of the opponent at any time. Therefore, in the event of an emergency in daily life, he can take actions that adapt to changes in the moment, and he develops Natsume's fighting instinct for training.
Improving the endurance of Natsume's muscles and respiratory system through kendo practice is not to make muscles strong and thick through simple strength training, but to improve the ability of muscles to perform subtle work for a long time, allowing Natsume to control each of his cells to the extreme, and also laying a solid foundation for meditation sessions every afternoon.
The long-term kendo training every day not only greatly improved Natsume's combat effectiveness, but also enabled Natsume to improve his technique, and in the process of accumulating his efforts, he was often accompanied by pains such as tiredness, heat, thirst, pain, and cold, and the patience for these pains was part of kendo practice. Perseverance and correct efforts will surely produce good results, and make Natsume's spirit more tenacious.
Day after day of kendo training and Natsume is accompanied only by the bamboo knife in his hand, swordsmen are often accompanied by loneliness, a person can often only rely on himself, can not rely on others, even if he is under siege, he must solve the danger on his own, and when it is critical, he relies on the keen observation, judgment, and execution that he has cultivated in ordinary times.
Therefore, in the practice of kendo, special emphasis is placed on mental concentration, actively creating opportunities, and acting decisively when faced with opportunities. Natsume's personality has also quietly changed in this kind of high-intensity force training.
Yakumo's judo is different from the vigorous and fast kendo course, but a training in which the weak defeat the strong with softness. Judo attaches more importance to fighting skills, requiring the characteristics of flexibility and adaptability, and using various wrestling techniques and throwing skills as the main fighting methods, which can instantly bring great damage to the opponent.
In the afternoon, Professor Sakurakami Miko's meditation and divine power use class also progressed rapidly because of the morning combat class, and within a few days, Natsume was already able to use divine power to drive divine power under his feet to form a wind vortex, so that Natsume had been thinking about stepping into the air.
Natsume has now made great progress in the control and delicate operation of divine powers, so for the sound development of his moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic qualities, Natsume must also study cultural lessons with Miko Sakurakami every afternoon.
Holding a soft brush, dipped in jet-black ink that exudes the fragrance of ink, under the teaching of Miko Sakuragami, he copied the classic calligraphy left by the ancients on the rice paper one by one, blowing the breeze that came from the habit, like poetry and picturesque.
The cherry blossoms fall like a rain of flowers, and the sitting under the tree is Natsume, who has grown up a lot, and the baby fat on his face has faded a lot, gradually revealing a delicate young face, and holding a cup of cherry blossom brew in his hand, which is brewed by Miko Sakurakami herself, taking the cherry blossoms that are shy to be released mixed with the dew of the early morning, buried in the soil formed by the cherry blossoms, and when the time comes, dig it out and pour a glass of wine to taste, and you will be swept by the sea of cherry blossoms in spring.
Take a sip, drink the cherry blossom wine mixed with petals in your hand, enjoy the sea of flowers floating in the sky, and involuntarily sing ancient verses through the drunken wine:
Xianyun fell into the court last night and turned into Wan Yu'e.
The sun shines across the country, leaning on the wind and dancing the demons.
Who sees the melancholy in the spring, and the wind is nai ru when he is drunk.
Sitting on the famous flowers, you should laugh at me, and the ugly gang is like Dongpo.
Yanran wants to smile at the east wall, and finally doubts that the begonias are over.
The color is not sparing the dirty fat powder, and the wind god is partial to Qiluo incense.
The garden is full of pictures, and the silk tube takes advantage of the sun.
The strange bottom has been drunk lately, and it is difficult for a teenager to be crazy.
Miko Sakurakami heard Natsume's words from a distance, and when she approached from behind, she smiled and said, "Natsume-sama, how can you be so young and recite such an old-fashioned poem?" Don't concubines understand? ”
"Miko-sensei, I've been in Takamagahara for more than fifty years, and I'm an old man in terms of my age!" Natsume replied with some depression.
"But according to the speed of time in Gao Tianyuan, fifty years is just a flick of a finger like a white horse passing through a gap, and fifty years is only equivalent to five years in the world, and you are just a little doll a little bigger than before!"
"What's more, according to the age of the monster, you can only be regarded as a little fox who is still in his infancy" Yes, even if Natsume's current humanoid appearance is already the appearance of a teenager, but it still can't be changed, Natsume is still the same as before in the monster state, a round little fox with a big palm.
"But I already have the strength of a big monster, don't I? Fifty years in the mansion is so boring, when will I be able to hang out? ”
"I'm sorry to tell you that although you already have the strength of a big monster, it still can't change the fact that you are still a cub, although you are indeed gifted and cultivated in only fifty years, it can be said that you are the smartest student I have ever taught."
"The concubine came today to inform Lord Natsume of you, I'm afraid that your leisurely life in the past few days is probably coming to an end, and Lord Inari has instructed you to go to the study to learn the god pattern."
"Oh? Has my father's official duties been completed? You have time to teach me the Divine Tattoo? But I'm studying again, when will I be able to go out and play! I'm getting moldy. ”
"Natsume-sama believes that you will soon run out of time to think about going out, after all, learning the god pattern is not so easy." Sakurakami Miko smiled slyly, "If there is nothing to do, the concubine will retire first," and after speaking, she bowed and turned to leave.
