Chapter 66: "The Way of the Sword"
"What!" Suddenly hearing Kikujiro's words, the old man was startled, almost jumped up, and roared angrily: "What did you say? You actually want to break away from your own family for the sake of a woman?
"It's not like this, grandpa...", with a tired look, Kikujiro's eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt there and lowered his head and said, "The main thing is because of the Opus Group."
"Opus Group?", hearing Kikujiro's words, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Kikujiro with a puzzled look in his eyes, "What do you mean?
"Because I went to save Li Xin today from the hands of Opus's heir, Thorin, and...", Kikujiro, who was kneeling on the ground, paused slightly, and then said: "And Thorin has also been killed......".
"What?", the old man couldn't stand still, stood up, looked at Kikujiro with hatred, and said: "Is that Li Xin so important in your heart? For her, you are actually willing to offend the Opus Group? and kill their heir? You have caused a lot of trouble for our group of three, you know?"
"I know...", Kikujiro lowered his head and said, "Although Torin was not killed by me, but for the sake of Li Xin, if I have the ability, I will also kill him, so, grandpa, you will issue a wanted warrant, the next order to want me, and at the same time announce that I will be expelled from the family, so that the family will have an .....explanation from Opus."
"You...", the old man looked at Kikujiro who was kneeling in front of him with his head bowed and helpless, with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, and after a long time, he sighed helplessly, and the whole person seemed to be much older in the past, just sat down slowly, looked at Kikujiro helplessly, and said, "Is that Li Xin so important in your heart?"
"Well...", Kikujiro nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, she is very important in my heart, as important as the family!!".
Hearing Kikujiro's answer, the old man waved his hand and said, "Since you have chosen this path, then I won't force you, I just hope you won't regret it in the future......", he said, got up and walked towards a bookshelf next to him.
"What's the matter...", I don't know where the old man got the mechanism, only to see the entire bookshelf suddenly moved, revealing a small dark compartment behind, and then the old man opened the dark compartment inside, took out a mahogany, carved into a simple small box, and then took out a simple long key, opened the small box, and took out a thread-bound book from both hands, looking at the yellowed writing, I think it has been at least hundreds of years.
"Here you go...", the old man came to Kikujiro with this book in both hands and said: "You can read this book tonight, and after reading it, put it on the table and leave by yourself, tomorrow I will issue a wanted warrant, I hope you can live well, this "Kendo" records the highest swordsmanship of our bushido, and none of our samurai has been able to cultivate successfully for thousands of years, I hope it can help you ......."
After Kikujiro took "Kendo" with both hands, the old man glanced at Kikujiro nostalgically, and walked out of the door with a long sigh, but a few muddy old tears fell fiercely.
"Thank you grandpa... Thank you...", looking at the few old tears on the floor, Kikujiro muttered with a crystal light in his eyes, and then quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and moved his gaze to the book in his hand with strong spirits.
"Kendo", who has lived in China for so long and is accustomed to reading Chinese, when he sees the two words written in Japanese in his hand, he feels a cordial feeling in his heart, and the two words seem to contain a sharp sword intent, as if he can't help but attract people into it, and it seems that between the two words, there is a supreme sword realm.
Turning over the first side, it is written in Japanese the introduction of "Kendo", since the time of Fuso, Bushido represents the most mainstream cultivation mode in the land cultivation world, on the way of the sword, countless predecessors have gone forward and succeeded, and at the same time take the strengths of the major sword schools in China, and integrate them into a book of "Kendo", so that the samurai have a guiding light on the road of endless pursuit.
Then the second page is an allusion, or the autobiography of the writer of "Kendo", thousands of years ago, there was a stunning samurai, the sword cultivation to the highest level, and then he felt that the sword was a great achievement, he went to China, challenged the strong, continuous progress, finally, finally defeated in the hands of the Chinese sword immortal cultivator, the defeated samurai returned to China, retreated, and at the same time absorbed the strengths of the opponent for decades, and finally in his later years, the "Kendo" at that time was revised, forming a new "Kendo" , However, although he fused countless essences into a new "Kendo", he was already in the age of rotten wood, and after hurriedly passing down this "Kendo", he ended up with hatred.
Seeing the above story, Kikujiro sighed in his heart, what a samurai who loves martial arts like his life, opening the "Kendo" is recorded in the supreme kendo, the first one or two pages Kikujiro can barely understand a little, but in the back, it's like reading a book from heaven, I can't understand anything, I can only memorize the things in the book.
In just a dozen pages of sword tricks, Kikujiro watched several disappearances before he could remember it, and finally, respectfully put "Kendo" into the small box, looked at the white of the fish belly that had been turned up in the east, opened the window and jumped out.
"Young master, are you going out so early?", when they came to the door, several guards saw Kikujiro coming out, and said hello.
"Hehe...", seeing these guards, Kikujiro smiled slightly, and said: "You have to be dedicated to your work, our family's business still depends on everyone working together.....", as he spoke, Kikujiro, who smiled, raised his legs and walked towards the door.
"En?", hearing Kikujiro's words, several guards looked at each other in surprise, today's young master is so strange, it seems to be too kind, right?
Without paying attention to the doubts of the guards behind him, Kikujiro walked out of the luxurious gate, turned around and looked at the luxurious building with nostalgia, gritted his teeth, and resolutely turned away, and his figure gradually disappeared into the still dim morning......
"Alas...", Kikujiro didn't see that in the building behind him, an old man secretly hid behind the curtain of the room on the second floor and looked at his departing back, sighed heavily, and then turned around, and locked the small box containing "Kendo" and put it back, and muttered: "Jiro, I hope you can escape this catastrophe......."
"What now?", walking on the road on the outskirts of the city, because of the early morning, there are not many vehicles on the road, and occasionally a car will pass by, but Kikujiro is walking blindly and aimlessly, not knowing where to go......
"Well...", suddenly, a faint ** sound caught Kikujiro's attention, if it weren't for the silence of the early morning, Kikujiro would definitely not have noticed this sound, it seemed that someone was injured.
Following the direction of the sound, Kikujiro walked to a small ditch on the side of the road, picked up the weeds next to him and looked inside, then his eyes shrank slightly, and said, "It's you !!."
