Chapter 46 The Battle of the Rock Flow
"I know you cultivators don't like red tape, so please feel free." The middle-aged man said politely. "Thank you for your hospitality," Hitomi said, and ate quietly.
Yang Jian saw Zitong eating by himself there, and he didn't know what to do, he knew that he would learn more Japanese common sense. The middle-aged man looked at Yang Jian and didn't move, and smiled and made a gesture of please. Yang Jian had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and sandwich the closest dish to him - sashimi. Sashimi is a very famous dish in the Japanese cuisine world, and looking at the fish fillet that is placed like a work of art, Yang Jian really can't bear to take it apart and eat it.
It is said that during the banquet, the Japanese people pay attention to the etiquette of eating, and eat quietly without making a noise or talking. Do not spill rice, vegetables, alcohol, etc. outside and stain the table, and fish bones and bones should be left in the utensils inconspicuously and not put on the table. However, with the exception of eating noodles and drinking soup, legend has it that when eating noodles and drinking soup in Japan, you should make a "tsk" sound, because the Japanese feel that the sound of eating noodles is a kind of praise and affirmation of the food, and if the sound is loud, it means that the food is delicious, and eat it as quickly as possible, even if it is to gobble up the sound regardless of the image. Making a loud noise while eating is actually an affirmation of the chef. But fortunately, it's not noodles, otherwise Yang Jian also thinks it's too unimpressive, although it is very polite in the eyes of the Japanese.
Yang Jian took a look at the sashimi, it looked crystal clear, and the meat was full, but Yang Jian always felt a little weird, this thing was raw, and he didn't know how it tasted.
Yang Jian hesitated for two seconds, it was impossible to put back the things in his mouth when he got them, that would be too faceless, and the Japanese was still staring at him. Yang Jianxin crossed and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste is good, elastic, and delicious, but the more this is the case, the more Yang Jian thinks that this thing is cut directly from the live fish and sent to his mouth, presumably in order to keep it fresh, the owner of this piece of meat is still alive before he goes to the table, maybe, these cells are not completely dead.
The kaiseki cuisine reflects the freshness and taste of the dishes, which are freshly made, so customers generally need to wait for a while after ordering, and usually, the time from ordering to the first dish is 10-15 minutes; The transition time between each type of dish is 5-10 minutes, but with this nobleman's ability, he must be able to prepare all the dishes at the same time in 10 minutes.
Yang Jian simply chewed two bites, and then swallowed it with a mouthful of plum sauce mixed with Italian white wine, and the middle-aged man watched Yang Jian eat it too, and began to eat with his hands.
Finally, Yang Jian got through this lunch, and the taste of most things was still very delicious, but the atmosphere was a little too depressing.
After lunch, it was time to get down to business, Yang Jian just took a meal with Zitong, and was driven away by Zitong after eating.
On the way here, Yang Jian also knew the specific content of this mission - the base camp of the Japanese Miyamoto family, but Yang Jian was not familiar with his life, and he had to say a sentence several times before he could fully understand it.
In the end, the middle-aged nobleman said that he could help him, Yang Jian was immediately moved, but the Japanese spoke very tactfully, and this kind of aristocrat was very particular, with Yang Jian's half-hung Japanese, he only knew after communicating with him for a long time that he wanted to express that he could help him contact the Miyamoto family and send someone to escort him over. Yang Jiandu said a black line, and scolded wildly in his heart: Isn't it okay for you to say it directly? Do you need to waste such a long time? However, seeing that the middle-aged man was still smiling, Yang Jian was not easy to show any dissatisfaction, after all, people didn't think that his Japanese was very good.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Jian said goodbye to the purple pupil and took a helicopter to his destination. It is said that the location of this exchange was not in the base camp of the Miyamoto family, but on Yanryu Island. When Yang Jian heard the name of this place, he knew that this sword change would definitely not be so simple.
At this time, Yang Jian was above the Kanmon Strait, which is the western gateway of the Seto Inland Sea, which is a wonderful place, and on one side of it is the place where the Japanese "sword hero" Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro fought a decisive battle. It is the island of Honshu, and on one side is the island of Kyushu, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. And Yang Jian's destination, Yanliu Island, is located in the Guanmen Strait in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
The helicopter hovered above a slightly empty piece of land, and Yang Jian didn't care if it would be shocking or not, and jumped directly from the helicopter on the second floor. Fortunately, it was afternoon, the weather was hot, and there were hardly any people here.
Looking at the two statues not far away, Yang Jian walked over. Both statues are celebrities, and the carvings depict the duel scene between two swordsmen, Kojiro Sasaki and Shinfuki Fujiwara Genshin, also known as Miyamoto Musashi.
Sasaki Kojiro held the knife and squatted, Miyamoto Musashi flew to split, just facing two statues, Yang Jian seemed to be able to feel the scene of the peak duel between the two swordsmen.
After waiting anxiously, Sasaki Kojiro saw Miyamoto's arrival, and was stimulated to the extreme of anger by the sudden wooden sword and humiliation, so he couldn't wait to prove himself, and the only thing that could prove himself was the long sword in his hand! Kojiro stood on the beach with his sword in both hands, lowering his posture, and the sword aura had already enveloped the entire sea, suppressing Miyamoto below.
Miyamoto's feet were still in the cold water, and the wooden sword arced, bringing up a spray. The tip of the wooden sword is already at the same height as the tip of Kojiro's sword. pierced Kojiro's suppressed breath. But Miyamoto's figure moves faster than Kojiro's. Miyamoto did not attack at the first time, and moved to the high ground with his sword, and the long wooden sword occupied a high position, and Kojiro's long knife advantage became Miyamoto's advantage.
With the constant displacement, Kojiro's eyes were exposed to the scorching sunlight and flickering waves, Miyamoto began to lower his position, and Kojiro secretly screamed despicable, but Kojiro could not lower his position again. To avoid harsh light and direct sunlight on your face, let go of your body and lower your head.
Miyamoto didn't move, and it turned out that the swords of the two people were the same high. But Miyamoto bent his legs into an attacking stance, and Kojiro's body is no longer defensive or offensive. Kojiro is in a dilemma!
Miyamoto jumped high, and the human sword was one. Miyamoto's body had already entered the range of Kojiro's slashing sword, and a black shadow fell from the sky. However, Kojiro had already discarded the scabbard before, and he couldn't use his stunt at all. Kojiro's blade drew an arc and went straight to Miyamoto from the bottom plate, Miyamoto Musashi avoided the blade, and the oar took advantage of its length to hit Kojiro first.
After the duel, Kojiro was seriously injured and struggled and said, "I'll leave my unfinished business to you." ”……
This seems to be a tragic heroic story, worthy of praise for future generations. But according to Yang Jian's understanding, the real situation is not like this.
Kojiro Sasaki and Miyamoto Musashi agreed to a duel at eight o'clock in the afternoon, and out of respect for their opponents, Kojiro arrived at the scene early. Musashi, on the other hand, was late, and the rules stipulated that if the opponent did not arrive at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, he would abstain.
Musashi hadn't arrived at nine o'clock yet, and Kojiro was waiting anxiously at this time, and he had a feeling of loss, thinking that he was going to win without a fight. But at 9:30 a.m., Musashi suddenly appeared, carrying a specially made wooden knife, which was four feet two inches long, a full foot longer than Kojiro's "monogan blanching", that is, "Bizen Nagashi Hikaru". At this time, Kojiro naturally had no calm mind to face the enemy, and threw out the scabbard and slashed at Musashi, Musashi said to Kojiro: "You threw away all the scabbards, how can you win me?" But Kojiro had no intention of listening to Musashi's preaching, and still insisted on competing with Musashi, Kojiro was anxious and angry, and in the end Kojiro could not give full play to the advantage of his sword chief, and even "Yan Hui" was defeated under Miyamoto Musashi's sword without using it.
The above two points alone are enough to see Musashi's cunning, and he broke the realm of Kojiro Shisui with psychological tactics, and it is not so much that Miyamoto Musashi is a genius swordsman, but that he is a master of war.
Sasaki Kojiro is just a pure swordsman, who once learned swords in the Nakajo-ryu Zhongjuan from the Saitsu family, which is the oldest school of swordsmanship in Japan with a good history, and there are many branches from the Nakajo-ryu, such as the famous Tomita-ryu, Zhongmaki-ryu, and even Sasaki Kojiro's Yan-ryu.
In contrast to Musashi, who came from a family that was not wealthy, Kojiro grew up surrounded by an aura of support and praise. However, unlike those mediocre gentlemen, Kojiro is definitely a swordsmanship. When he studied Tomita-ryu's Kotai knife technique with Kanemaki Zisai, Kanemaki asked Kojiro to use the big sword in order to make use of the Kotai knife technique, and over time, Kojiro's big knife technique became more and more proficient. After learning swords, Kojiro Sasaki traveled all over the world to promote kendo.
And Miyamoto Musashi, a swordsman and warmaker from the end of the Warring States period to the beginning of the Edo period in Japan. In addition to being good at kendo, heart foundation and strategy are also Miyamoto Musashi's strengths. He is proficient in a variety of martial arts other than swordsmanship, shuriken and body arts, Yang Jian does not deny that he is a master, but it is really despicable to use intrigue and trickery to deal with this sacred duel, after all, Sasaki Kojiro is not a master of war.
Moreover, it is even rumored that Kojiro Sasaki was knocked unconscious by Miyamoto Musashi and put on the ship, and was later secretly killed by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Yang Jian looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head, no matter what history is, the past has already passed, and tomorrow, it is very likely that he will have the same battle. I have to practice what I have learned, and if there is a trick that I must ensure that I can use at any time, it will be my killer weapon.
