21. Forget yourself

"What I can teach you, it's simple. It is walking, sitting, drawing the knife, swinging the knife, and putting away the knife. The rest is up to you to understand and comprehend. Kneeling in the middle of the huge bamboo forest, Hayashi Shisuke said lightly.

The breeze blew through his white shirt, and the fairy spirit was everywhere. As a seasoned player in the 21st century's information explosion society, I am used to seeing various brands of X, but I was only picked up by his unique X, which does not eat the fireworks of the world, but considering my position, I still replied in a respectful voice: "Understood!" Master craftsman! ”

Mr. Hayashizaki only smiled slightly, but did not speak, but replaced words with actions - his right hand rested on the hilt of the knife under his left rib. I was knocked down again by this silent pretending to be X......

"Brush!" The "Shinkoku" under his left rib had come out of its sheath at some point, and it was now flat two centimeters in front of my neck. I only heard Mr. Hayashi Saki Shisuke faintly spit out two words from his mouth: "Focus!" If you have distracting thoughts, it's better not to practice! ”

I was suddenly stunned, when I was fighting, the most terrible thing was not focusing, and the flaws in my mind could not be made up for by any martial arts! And if I sincerely come to learn art, why do I have such a nonsensical idea? So, I secretly bit my tongue hard, and I swore that from now on, I must concentrate my most energy to study!

As if sensing the change in my aura, Mr. Hayashi Shisuke smiled slightly, and his voice came again: "First of all, it is the knife." He adjusted the knife to its position and inserted it into the belt of the sword under his left rib. This is a point that is difficult for me to accept, just imagine, if I go back to the Ming Dynasty, I have an Oriental sword inserted under my left rib every day...... That seems to be a bit of a self-confession......

So I leaned forward with my hands, bowed my head and made a gesture of admitting my mistake, and said sincerely: "Master, I swear in front of the spirit of my deceased father that I will not avenge him for a day, and I will never leave my sword for a day!" So, I can't get a knife into my belt! Thank you for your understanding! "It's certainly an excuse, a well-intentioned excuse.

Hayashi Shisuke smiled slightly and said, "Katachi (one-handed) is also okay." People in the world always have a misunderstanding of my knife technique, thinking that it is necessary to hold both hands, but in fact, the two hands are not important to Iai. You see! ”

He pulled Shinkook out of his belt and held his left hand alone. I carefully observed, his blade is downward, it is said that the modern popular knife edge upward knife method, that is created by several generations of his heirs, and the orthodox Hayashi Gaze dream of a knife is the blade downward, which shows that the blade is on top and down, and does not directly affect the speed of drawing the knife, but the technique is different.

Suddenly, I noticed that his arm seemed to be ...... It doesn't seem to be simply sagging straight down, but with a slight inner buckle. I followed his example, holding my chest slightly, my left arm slightly buckled, and holding the knife next to my left hip.

He watched my movements, and his eyes lit up! Whispering, many samurai always uphold the noble integrity, every action is explained very clearly, and the action is also horizontal and vertical, but I don't know that the essence of Juhe is in the surprise four words, it is originally an assassination swordsmanship, and it doesn't need so much image effort at all.

Seeing that I understood, Mr. Hayashi Shisuke nodded and said, "My sword skills are different from others. If you want to learn to live well, you must first forget yourself! Then, he leaned slightly to the left and gently rested his right hand on the hilt of the knife in a very casual manner. No matter who it is, there will be no sign of drawing a knife from his movements. At this moment, it seemed that his left hand shook slightly, and the knife in his hand came to my throat again!

This...... This is! I couldn't help but look at his left hand. Hayashi Shisuke smiled for the first time: "You are very perceptive!" What I'm going to teach you is exactly how to cut the carp's mouth"!

The so-called cutting method of carp mouth refers to the action of pushing the knife out of the sheath. Juhe is the sword drawing technique, and its soul is this attack of the sword side out of the sheath! Use the friction of the blade with the scabbard to make the tip of the knife reach the target with maximum damage!

Therefore, the hidden drawing of the knife is the starting point of the match! If the movement of the right arm is too large, or the left arm is too far, then the meaning of the surprise attack is lost, and what Mr. Hayashi Shisuke wants to teach me is to hold the handle of the knife from top to bottom with the right hand steadily and slowly, from the thumb and index finger, and the left thumb to push the blade diagonally forward to the right, so as not to make the opponent feel the action.

"Next, it's a pull-out." Mr. Hayashizaki Jinsuke's voice came again, the so-called pull-out is the pull-out, that is, the first knife of the blade pulled out of the sheath at the moment of the horizontal text.

As I said earlier, this sword is the life of Juhe. In the world of Iai, the speed of the blade is steady and slow at the beginning, and it becomes faster in the middle of the process, and when the tip of the knife is about to break away from the carp mouth, it is as fast as a flash of the wind.

"And then it's cut," Mr. Hayashi said. Cut, that is, cut, the target is the opponent who has just received a blow from a horizontal word, and the fatal knife that completely cuts down the opponent is issued! This knife starts from the top of the opponent's head, depicts a large arc in the upper section, and slashes with a swift vertical slash to the opponent's chest! This knife can be described as a heart-wrenching one! If you are sitting on your knees, this knife pays attention to the distance and angle from the ground, which is a more advanced technique!

Later, he demonstrated the techniques of blood vibration, broken heart, and the knife holding technique, in other words, the technique of throwing off the blood from the knife, chasing the remnants of the enemy, and quickly retracting the knife into its scabbard. At this point, I have been completely impressed by his sword skills! I believe that this is the magic knife technique that can only be comprehended with life!

So what I did in the next few days was, pushing, pulling, chopping, chopping, vibrating, receiving.

From morning till night, my whole body was immersed in this magical knife technique. Slowly, I seemed to forget my old knife movements and became more and more refined in my sword drawing technique. Slowly, I realized that people have a misunderstanding of the Iai knife method, and many people think that the Iai knife method is the knife method of drawing a knife to attack this time, but it is not. In other words, the knife technique of each school has the process of juhe, in other words, juhe is not what people say to draw the knife and close the knife, but represents the transformation of potential and potential, movement and stillness! It's just that Hayashizaki Myojin's dream of a sword stream emphasizes and highlights the attack of drawing the knife more, but it does not give up other continuous attacks.

In the training that followed, as Mr. Hayashizaki Shisuke slowly handed me the skills of pacing, breathing, etc., I felt more and more deeply about this - the Iai knife method is to let the burst replace the continuous output, and the least burst in exchange for the maximum output!

I'm tired from training every day, and sleeping doesn't seem to solve my fatigue problem anymore, because this exhaustion comes from both the body and the mind. So one night, I used the method of practicing the soft breath exercise instead of sleeping and sleeping. Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good!

The next day, when I appeared at the training ground in good spirits, Mr. Hayashizaki Shisuke's eyes shone strangely! But he is a proud warrior, and he didn't say much, but taught me the sword technique day after day, and while I continued to improve my sword technique, the soft breath gong seemed to have merged with the Juhe knife technique! The two seem to complement each other, echo each other, and slowly merge into one! It's a wonderful feeling, but the process seems to be on the road forever, with no end in sight. Until one day, Mr. Hayashi Shisuke threw a copper coin, and I felt my spirit, strength, and momentum merge into one in an instant! Push the knife! Draw the knife! Slash! Slash! Blood Vibration! Na Knife! Coherent! I could feel that flawless!

"Ding Ding Ding"! Four crisp sounds in a row, and the copper coin was cut into four petals by me in the air! At that moment, I felt as if something was melting in my body, giving me a pleasure that I can't describe in words!

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Gentle applause rang out, and when I gradually came back to my senses, I saw Mr. Hayashi Shisuke standing in front of me, clapping softly, and he smiled and said, "Qilan, your sword skills have been introduced!" Congratulations! A breakthrough has also been made in the mental method! ”

I would have cheered for such progress before, but at this point, I seemed to be unusually calm. Instead, he knelt lightly, bowed to the ground with his hands, and saluted Mr. Hayashizaki Shisuke deeply!

Mr. Hayashi Shisuke helped me up with both hands, smiled and said, "Kailan, you are the most talented student I have ever met!" I've always known that you're not as simple as you say, but I see sincerity and truth in your eyes, and I believe that no matter what you came from, you won't use my sword skills to do evil! I know it's time for you to go, and before I leave, I'll give you another trick! ”

As he spoke, Mr. Hayashi Shisuke took ten steps back, motioned for me to take the knife, and walked slowly towards me step by step! Suddenly, I felt as if I had returned to that night, and I felt a sense of fear from the bottom of my heart when I faced Mulwin!

I saw that Mr. Hayashi Saki was about to come to my two meters position, but I forgot to draw my knife in fear! Flash! Mr. Hayashizaki is already behind me! I was stunned and didn't dare to move, and for a moment, I felt a cold swish under my left ribs! This...... What kind of knife technique is this!

Mr. Hayashi Shisuke had already turned around and went back to the house, but his voice floated out: "This is the mystery of my confluence: a flash! Go back and realize! When you figure it out, come back to me! ”

I knew that this was to say goodbye, and my heart suddenly tumbled with infinite reluctance! For more than two months, Mr. Hayashizaki has taken care of me beyond measure! He doesn't ask me where I come from, he doesn't ask where I came from, he teaches me so much just because he believes! My throat was a little choked, and I asked in the middle of the night, "Master!" Where do I find you? ”

Another voice came: "The world is not big."

I understood what he meant, knelt down respectfully, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then retreated out of the courtyard.
