Chapter Eighty-Six: A Sense of Time

The priest bowed slightly to the two visitors, then to the apse, and then bowed to the apse, and then exited the grove.

"Come in." An old voice came from the apse.

What a keen hearing!

After Duanmu Ci and his party turned out of the main hall, there was silence all the way, only the two-toothed clogs under their feet stepped on the fallen leaves and made a small sound, and the distance was not close, and the old man was not young, Rao was so, he still heard the footsteps of the visitor. From this it can be seen that the old man's cultivation must be good!

There is no doubt that the old man in the apse is the Terashima Moriyoshi they are going to visit this time.

Duanmuci and Wei Yue glanced at each other, then took off their clogs in front of the hall, and came to the screen wearing only white socks, Duanmuci knelt down on the tatami mat, he pressed his hands on his knees and bowed slightly, "Contemptible Duanmuci, I have seen the predecessors of Terashima." ”

People who are much younger than themselves use honorific titles, they have done it countless times in Duanmu Ci's long career, and they have long been used to it, no way, who let him have a face that is extremely incommensurate with his age?

Wei Yue also did the same action, but said something different, "Student Wei Yue, I have seen the teacher. ”

Teacher?

Duanmu Ci was stunned, and immediately reacted, the "Beichen One Knife Stream" of Weiyue Practice, the teacher should be the Terashima Shouyi in front of him. But think about it, besides the old man in front of him, I'm afraid that there will not be a second person in Japan who is qualified to become the kendo teacher of the endangered moon as the heir of the Gen family.

At least in the "Beichen One Knife Stream".

Moryoshi Terashima slowly opened his eyes, as if a sharp blade was out of its sheath, "Hmm, is Gen-kun here too?" The Japanese "kun" applies not only to peers and elders, but also to superiors and subordinates.

Wei Yue bowed to the ground, "The student left the country for some reason, and he couldn't serve the teacher often, it was the student's fault, and I hope the teacher will forgive the sin!" ”

Tejima Moriyoshi shook his head, "It's nothing to do, is the teacher a person who covets the offerings of his students?" But did you really decide that you wanted to give up your engagement to the royal family? ”

Wei Yue bowed her head and was silent.

Knowing the student's intentions, Moryoshi Terashima didn't say much, but just asked, "Why did you come to my shrine today?" ”

Wei Yue said, "The students came to visit the teacher this time, firstly, because the students had just returned to China, so they should come to visit them; The second reason is that the student's friend Duanmu Ci has also heard of the teacher's reputation for a long time, and he also wants to come to visit the teacher and ask the teacher to learn kendo. ”

Wei Yue originally wanted to talk about asking for advice, but then she thought that Duanmuci's kendo cultivation was really unfathomable, and it seemed inappropriate to use the word "ask for advice", so she temporarily changed her words to "learn".

With such an obvious change of mouth, how could Terashima Shouyi not notice it, and he was also an old man who understood the meaning and unfinished meaning of Wei Yue's words in an instant. He couldn't help but look at Duanmu Ci, who had been silent on the side, to see what kind of ability he had to make his students who were above the top admire him.

He first glanced at Duanmu Ci's face, young and handsome, too transcendent appearance was nothing in the eyes of Terashima Shouyi, after all, he was used to seeing Wei Yue, he just felt that no matter how bewitching the talent of a swordsman at this age was, he would not be high enough to compare with himself, unless he was a peerless swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi who happened once in hundreds of years.

Then he turned his gaze to Duanmu Ci's sitting posture, marked and straight, and the momentum was contained in Wen Tong, which made him feel very satisfied.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Duanmuci's hand pressed on his knee, and then frowned.

These hands are really beautiful!

A pair of hands that hold a sword all year round should not be so beautiful, no matter how carefully maintained, it will always leave traces. For example, the dangerous moon, who also refines kendo and attaches great importance to appearance, inevitably has symptoms such as knuckle enlargement, calluses, and dermabrasion. And the hands of the young man in front of him, Terashima Shouyi looked left and right and didn't feel that these were hands suitable for holding a sword.

But Wei Yue shouldn't lie big.

Moryoshi Terashima's face was calm, but he had doubts in his heart.

Wei Yue was the first to stand up, and took a wooden practice sword from the knife rack in the corner of the hall, then bowed down and said, "Please teach the teacher!" ”

Terashima Shouyi also got up and picked up the practice sword in front of him, "I haven't seen Yuanjun for a long time, and I don't know if your cultivation has grown, so let's confirm it!" ”

The master and apprentice came to the hall, each holding a practice sword in each hand, and their eyes touched each other. Although Moryoshi Terashima is old, he is not weak, and his hands holding the sword are as steady as a rock, and he has always had the upper hand. However, since it is a master-apprentice competition, there is no need to distinguish the winner and loser, so after twenty or thirty swords, Terashima Shouyi collected the sword and took the lead in jumping out of the battle circle.

"Not bad!" Moryoshi Terashima finally smiled, "Your kendo has made great progress, it seems that you haven't forgotten to practice when you went to China, which is very good, and the teacher is very happy." ”

Wei Yue put away her sword and lowered her head, "This is all good for the teacher's advice!" ”

Moryoshi Terashima shook his head, "What does this have to do with me?" I've taught almost everything I can teach, and the rest depends on your own understanding and diligence, if you don't make it, what's the use of me instructing? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Duanmu Ci, "Young man, come on too, my student said that your kendo is very good, and it is very unique, different from any school in existence, I would like to see it." ”

Duanmu Ci got up, "Please advise!" ”

He also went to practice his sword on the knife stand, stood in the position of the original dangerous moon, and confronted Terashima Moriyoshi with a sword.

Outside the hall, the wind was blowing and the curtains were fluttering.

Moryoshi Terashima's gray eyebrows were raised, and he took the lead in attacking.

Beichen Yidao-ryu is a very different genre of kendo because it believes that kendo is not only a technique, but also an art, something that should have a deeper sense of beauty, not just blood and violence. Therefore, "Beichen Yidaoliu" attaches great importance to the beauty of moving and swinging, and almost has a dance rhyme.

Therefore, when Duanmu Ci just watched the duel between the two masters and apprentices of Terashima Shouyi and Weiyue, he almost watched it with an eye for appreciating art, rather than watching a fight.

Coincidentally, Duanmu Ci is also a person who attaches great importance to beauty.

Terashima Shouyi stepped forward quickly, and the practice sword in his hand swung a subtle arc in the air, and then landed accurately in front of Duanmu Ci's neck, and he was about to hit his throat!

Duanmu took a step back with his right foot, blocked with his sword, and after blocking the blow, he half-rotated his right body, slid his sword off his opponent's blade, and then slashed his opponent's lower abdomen. Terashima Shouyi is highly skilled, and when he finds that something is not harmonious, he immediately collects his sword and returns to defend it, and then moves sideways to guard his safety.

This is the first round of the confrontation between the two, and the advantages and disadvantages are initially divided, but they are just clear in their hearts.

Terashima Shouyi was slightly shocked in his heart, just stopping this blow, he had already roughly seen the depth of Duanmuci, and he was really an opponent to be reckoned with. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Wei Yue, who is regarded as a genius and wizard by himself, is definitely not the opponent of the young man in front of him, and it is no wonder that his students respect him so much.

And Duanmu Ci was also slightly chilled in his heart, and he said in his heart that this teacher of the dangerous moon was really not a figure to be underestimated, and he had never met an opponent of this level since modern times. Duanmu Ci also estimated it a little, thinking that with the level of Kendo of Terashima Shouyi, even in the Edo period, where there were many swordsmen, he was determined to be a figure who could leave a name in the history of swordsmanship!

The two glanced at each other along the tip of the sword, one side was as imposing as a mountain, the other was calm as water, they were both people with good bearing, so they didn't collide with any sparks, but they just tacitly raised their swords.

If the sword of Moriyoshi Terashima is like a monk sweeping flowers at Sensoji Temple, then the sword of Duanmu is like a viewer of Mt. Fuji watching the falling cherry blossoms on a moonlit night. On the one hand, it is gentle with the fierceness that sweeps everything, but on the other hand, it is accurate enough to catch a falling cherry blossom among thousands of petals.

The two of them were fighting there, obviously doing sword-related martial arts, but it looked like two dancers were dancing against each other, or like a "martial artist" on TV performing a routine.

It's really pleasing to the eye, Wei Yue sighed secretly on the side.

The students are excited to watch here, but the teacher's feelings are not necessarily so good. The more he fought, the more frightened he became, because he found that his opponent's mastery of time could be said to be extremely good, he could accurately capture each sword, and he could also swing each sword accurately, and the opponent's sword could almost use the tip of the sword against the tip of his own sword!

If Ishida Mitsunari could have grasped the fighter so accurately in the Battle of Sekigahara that year, then I am afraid that the world will be in a different pattern today, at least Tokugawa Ieyasu will not have the opportunity to hold the authority of the world again.

Moryoshi Terashima almost had a sense of weirdness, feeling that the young man on the other side could simply control time!

Actually, this feeling can almost be said to be correct.

Maybe it's a side effect of immortality, Duanmu Ci found himself a long time ago that he seemed to be able to feel time subtly, maybe just in the blink of an eye, but this blink of an eye can change a lot. So many times Terashima Moriyoshi felt that his sword had clearly hit the other party, but it was strangely missed.

It's an indescribable feeling.

And Duanmu Ci often uses this "sense of time" to drive, with first-class driving skills, and once won the championship in international competitions under a pseudonym

After the blow that he thought would be won, he reluctantly put away his sword and said a truce, "What a hero out of a boy, my Terashima Moriyoshi is served." ”

Duanmu Ci also put away his sword, "The senior has conceded." ”

Moryoshi Terashima put the practice sword back on the knife holder, and then waved his hand, "I didn't let you, I did my best." ”

To be honest, that strange sense of frustration and inexplicable illusion of time simply gave Tejima Moriyoshi a feeling that was almost "aggrieved". It's like a gamer who thinks he's unleashed a winning skill, only to suddenly find that his opponent is already in the other direction at some point, as if he has experienced an illusion.

I'm really tired
