Text Chapter 48 Sword Duel
"You're not bad, you weren't late or using an extra-long wooden sword, in fact, you should set the time at eight o'clock in the morning, so that it will be the same as your ancestors." Yang Jian also replied that it was not the turn of others to guide him in what he did.
"Please don't insult my bushido spirit, let alone my great ancestor, whose wisdom is beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Miyamoto Fujiwara's eyes were gloomy, and you can imagine the anger in his heart. "But as far as I know, he is such a person, he competes in martial arts, but he uses conspiracy and trickery, he is no longer a pure martial artist, what kind of bushido spirit are you talking about?" Yang Jian was not afraid of him, perhaps it would be better to provoke him, so that he would lose his square inch in battle.
"The wooden sword is just a weapon, it doesn't mean anything, didn't Sasaki Kojiro also use a notai sword that is much longer than other people's weapons when he competes with others? Is he the only one who can wield weapons that are longer than others? And Musashi-kun used a wooden sword with insufficient attack power, which can be regarded as flat. Miyamoto Fujiwara Yoshimasa said rhetorically: "As for being late, that's even more nonsense. Four years after Musash-kun's death, the "Ogura Inscription" established by his foster womb Iori Motomoto does not include the fact that Musashi was late. Forty-five years later, there is no such thing as Musashi being late in the "Records of the Funajima Duel" recorded by the Numata family, a witness to the "Battle of Yanryu Island". Sixty-nine years later, the "Martial Arts Biography" recorded by the oral account of Musashi-kun's third-generation disciples, and there is no account of Musashi-kun's tardiness, and it was only in the "Tale of the Two Heavens" 110 years later that Musashi-kun's late words appeared. Do you think it's reasonable to be late 110 years after your death? ”
Yang Jian is also not easy to comment, the people who recorded that Miyamoto Musashi was not late have more or less something to do with him, such as his disciple adopted son, and the witness who was most likely to record the true situation may also have recorded a false situation under the coercion of Miyamoto Musashi, after all, after this battle, Miyamoto Musashi, who was originally unknown, also stepped on Sasaki Kojiro and became the world's number one swordsmanship master.
Moreover, Miyamoto Musashi's wooden sword is definitely not ordinary, it is rumored that Miyamoto Musashi's wooden sword is cut from oars, but Musashi's ship departed from Shimonoseki Port, which is only about two kilometers away from Funashima, even if the wind and waves are high that day, it will not be more than half an hour. In half an hour, is there a way to sharpen the oars into a wooden sword with a knife? You must know that the wooden sword that Musashi was holding that day was one hundred and twenty-six centimeters long, and besides, how could ordinary wood withstand the attack of Captain Hikaru Bizen.
"Regardless of the truth of history, today's showdown is the most important thing at the moment, come on, let me understand the world-famous two days first-class." Yang Jian gave the battle signal.
After Yang Jian finished speaking, the momentum of the two sides changed, and Yang Jian felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. Yang Jian was secretly frightened, this is definitely a powerful master, this kind of momentum is not something that ordinary people can have.
Both sides are not in a hurry to make a move, and the master has made a move, and the victory or defeat is likely to be between one move. The first thing to compete is the momentum of the two sides, if you can overwhelm each other in momentum, then you can take the initiative in the next battle.
If you talk about momentum alone, it is naturally Miyamoto Fujiwara who is superior. Born in a family of swordsmanship, Miyamoto Fujiwara, who has practiced swordsmanship since childhood, is naturally not a halfway monk, and Yang Jian, who has only undergone a month of special training, can compare. However, Yang Jian also possessed the unique spiritual sense of a cultivator, which could have an effect similar to spiritual pressure, just like the coercion that Aorlong had exerted on himself before. Of course, compared to the spiritual pressure that Yang Jian can release and the Aolong, it is completely the difference between the river and the sea, but he can barely protect himself from the influence of Miyamoto Musashi's momentum.
In terms of momentum, no one can help the other party, so it is to find the flaws of the other party, and the two move slowly around the circle, while constantly changing the posture of holding the knife. Although the two sides have not yet made actual contact, a thrilling duel is actually already taking place.
Both sides have to change their posture according to each other's movements, and while looking for each other's flaws, they must also cover their own flaws, and each change in posture may mean different flaws, which is also an extreme test of a person's understanding of kendo. As long as either of the two sides shows a little flaw, it will attract a thunderous blow from the other party.
However, no matter which one it is, it is Yang Jian's weakness, Yang Jian only has to speed up the frequency of his own changes, so that the other party can't find his weakness, although it looks a little funny, but compared to Xiao Ming, what is the appearance here? Besides, the one who lives to the end is the real king.
Miyamoto Fujiwara uses a double sword, and the two-day first-class allows him to maximize the advantages of the double sword, attacking sharply when he advances, and defending tightly when he retreats. Yang Jian found that he really didn't have much chance of winning against such a kendo master.
Yang Jian didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, so he would reveal more flaws. Finally, Miyamoto Fujiwara moved, and as an elder, he was embarrassed to keep spending time with Yang Jian.
The so-called "two days" in the two-day first-class refers to the "two days of sun", which refers to the sun and the moon: that is, yin and yang, that is, symbolizing opposites. Everything in the world is composed of relative things, and by these relative things soaking each other, all things develop and unify and produce new things. The technique of the second knife is simply to unify the movements of the large and small two knives in the left and right hands, so as to achieve the purpose of defeating the opponent.
The weapons used by Miyamoto Fujiwara are, with a blade length of about 120 centimeters, the "Boqi Kunangang" and the blade length of 65 centimeters, "Izumi Mamoru Fujiwara Kanedada", both of which are famous knives used by Miyamoto Musashi.
In fact, there are very few people who use two knives now, dual-wielding long and short knives, used for one-to-many, one more short knife is convenient to block attacks, mainly defensive, the main offensive is still a long knife, and the first-class moves of the two days are basically moves with only one knife. Musashi specifically mentioned in the "Book of Five Rounds" that he usually needs to exercise the power of one-handed slashing, which shows that the second knife flow is actually a very difficult knife technique to practice, after all, one hand is not as strong as both hands, and ordinary people can't even pick up the knife at all, and only a muscular man like Miyamoto Musashi can bring the two knife flow to the extreme. Legend has Miyamoto Musashi has a meter and eight more, in the eyes of the Japanese before the Restoration (before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese did not eat meat), that is a giant, although the current living and eating conditions have improved a lot, people's physique has also been improved accordingly, but the two days of first-class is not the average person can practice, and now there are many other schools, it is relatively simple to learn, presumably in addition to the Miyamoto family, not many people will deliberately learn the second knife flow.
"Damn, the defense is too tight." Yang Jian's painstaking several attacks were blocked by Miyamoto Fujiwara with two swords, and Yang Jian was almost cut down by Izumi Mamoru Fujiwara Kaneda.
Yang Jian didn't dare to wait any longer, he had to take the initiative, Miyamoto Fujiwara's stormy attack was likely to be unable to resist him.
Yang Jian moved first, and as Yang Jian advanced, Miyamoto Fujiwara kept retreating, not that Miyamoto Fujiwara was afraid of Yang Jian, but that he had to keep enough distance at this time.
"Huh." The knife raised by Yang Jian slashed down, such a simple knife Miyamoto Fujiwara must be able to catch it, but this is just Yang Jian's false move, Yang has stopped at the same time as he is now chopping, and at the same time the roar is also to mislead Miyamoto Fujiwara, hearing the roar, most people will subconsciously feel that the other party has attacked, and Miyamoto Fujiwara uses two days first-class and pays attention to defense first and then attack.
Yang Jian slashed on the ground, and Miyamoto Fujiwara resisted with a knife. At the moment of the knife, Miyamoto Fujiwara knew that he had been fooled, but it was too late to change his moves, in order to resist Yang Jian's heavy split, Miyamoto Fujiwara used a double knife, after all, the power of one hand is likely to be unable to resist. This was originally a duel with fighting spirit, and Miyamoto Fujiwara underestimated Yang Jian, and he would pay the price for it.
Yang Jian slashed at Miyamoto Fujiwara, and Miyamoto Fujiwara's wrist flipped. In a hurry, he only had time to resist with a short knife. However, how could the strength of one hand be able to match Yang Jian's hands, although the short knife resisted it, Miyamoto Fujiwara's arm was still cut open.
At this time, Miyamoto Fujiwara's other hand regained his strength, and slashed at Yang Jian's neck with Boqi Guoangang, Yang Jian flipped on his side, and Boqi Guoangang flew past against Yang Jian's face. Taking advantage of Miyamoto Fujiwara's chest door opening wide at this time, Yang Jian kicked Miyamoto Fujiwara's chest while rolling over on his side.
Miyamoto Fujiwara was kicked back, and with a good opportunity, Yang Jian put Captain Bizen into the sheath in mid-air, which is called raising a sword. In fact, before he started, Yang Jian had already rehearsed several possible situations in his mind, otherwise Yang Jian's movements would not have been so perfect, after all, it takes a certain amount of time to react, ordinary people need about 0.5 seconds from seeing the situation to the brain to react and then to the action on the body, although it seems to be very little, but the master duel, this 0.5 second is likely to be when you die, Yang Jian's reaction time is about 0.3 seconds, which is also measured in the Immortal Prison Mansion before, But if this is Yang Jian's temporary response, it will take more than a second, and this more than one second is enough to bury all the hard-won advantages.
Before you make one move, your brain has to predict the next step, or even the next two or three steps, and what will happen.
One wrong step and a loss of all the games are perfectly suited to describe Miyamoto Fujiwara at this time. Yang Jian landed and took a step forward, and it was time for his killer weapon to appear: "Yan - Return"
