Chapter 39 Talent is hard to find
Imagawa watched as Tsukahara Moryū and Nobu Onokura walked out of the whale house with a pale face, and everyone quickly dispersed in a large circle amid the shouting and scolding of Ashigaru. The two stood in the circle, Ohnokura Nobu had a solemn face, and his right hand slowly held the hilt of the knife. But Tsukahara Molong was smiling, and just when everyone wanted to see the excitement, Tsukahara Molong threw the knife in his hand to Zhou Dashuai.
"What do you mean by that?" Nobu Onokura asked.
"There is no living wound under this knife, so let's take a bamboo bag knife, of course, you can use a real knife." Tsukahara Moryū still said with a smile, but his words were extremely confident.
Onokura Nobu felt that he had been greatly humiliated, and his face turned red, but he still immediately said to a ashigaru: "You, immediately go to the dojo and borrow two bamboo bag knives for me, just say that I borrowed them!! ”
Tsukahara Moryū saw that Nokura Shin was so excited, but he shook his head: This Onokura is not confident, even if he is a little brave, he will not be able to reach the realm of a grandmaster for the rest of his life. I came to Suruga Province this time for talent. Because the Imagawa family has always attached great importance to the cultural aspect, so Suruga Province can be said to be full of talents, of course, refers to the internal affairs, if it is about brave and good fighting, Suruga people are not that piece of material, ignorant people are fearless, the more knowledge they know, the more they often suffer from gains and losses, and cherish life.
"If you are confident in your bravery, you can come and challenge me with this Ohno-sama." Tsukahara Moryu glanced around the crowd and found a lot of ronins with knives, after all, the economy of Suruga Province is very developed, so there are many ronins from all countries who come here to try their luck, so they open their mouths to excitedly, hoping to pick up a few treasures.
However, at that time, the Japanese were very particular about heads-up in private martial arts, especially between genres, and group fights were often considered shameful. So as soon as Tsukahara Molong said this, those ronins with knives felt the anger in their hearts rising up, and several people stood up at that time. Tsukahara Moryū looked at it again, still shaking his head. Although they look quite strong, judging from the way they breathe and the way they walk, they are not real masters.
Soon, the ashigaru took two bamboo bag knives back, and Onokura Nobu threw one to Tsukahara Molong with angry eyes, and he also took one himself, but Tsukahara Molong did not take the bamboo bag knife at all, but his body shook, and Onokura Nobu was shocked to find that the bamboo bag knife in his hand was unloaded by Tsukahara Molong!
No knife to take! Kamiizumi Hidetsuna's method of pride, that is, China's empty glove white blade, Tsukahara Moryū secretly learned it when Kamiizumi Hidetsuna was practicing at the Kashima Dojo, but this trick is quite chicken, and it is really good to use when you go head-to-head, but if it is a group fight, then it will be completely stopped. After all, the kung fu you have to go up and grab the knife is enough for other masters to give you several knives.
Tsukahara Moryū, who got the bamboo bag knife, moved slightly, easily avoiding Nobu Ohnokura, who wanted to take the knife back. Ohnokura Nobu was helpless, so he had to pull out his saber, "Look at the knife!!! There was a loud shout, in order to overwhelm the opponent in momentum, and even the onlookers changed their faces, obviously frightened.
Tsukahara Molong's face was as usual, this level of drinking was really not worth mentioning, compared to the momentum...... Tsukahara Molong waved the bamboo bag knife in his hand at will, stepped forward, and the face of Onokura Nobu, who rushed to him, changed instantly, as if he was not looking at a person, but an extremely majestic mountain, a long river that rushes endlessly, the second step, those ronins who stood up felt that Tsukahara Molong was surrounded by three mountains and eight rivers, and it was impossible to match it, and in the third step, a few ronins who were still very angry just now had bowed their heads and admitted defeat, and retreated in a gray manner.
And although Ohnokura Shin's face was already distorted, he still slashed the long knife in his hand and slashed at Tsukahara Molong, no matter what kind of strong enemy he faced, he would never back down, this is his own kendo!
Tsukahara Moryū saw that Onokura Nobu could still swing a knife, and couldn't help but let out a light "huh", although he had already kept his hand and did not release all his momentum, but Ohnokura Nobu was able to resist swinging a knife, which was still quite surprising. It's just that although this knife is swung out, it has lost the sharp spirit of moving forward and never retreating, just to swing it out, Tsukahara Moryū's hand bamboo bag knife lightly twisted, and the saber that was regarded as life by Onokura Nobu flew out, and he himself fell to the ground weakly, sweating profusely.
Looking at Nobu Ohnokura, who collapsed to the ground, Tsukahara Molong slowly raised the bamboo bag knife: "In addition to the title of the East Demon Dragon, I also invented the bamboo bag knife, so this knife is also called the ink dragon knife, not only to commemorate my invention, but also because of ...... The power of the bamboo bag knife in my hands is not inferior to the real knife in your hands. "That posture has the meaning of cutting down Onokura Shin directly.
The Imagawa clan really opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but even if his status was as noble as him, he couldn't intervene in this kind of competition between schools, otherwise he would offend all schools by breaking the rules.
And the defeated Ohno Kuranobu did not resist, but muttered to himself as if resigned to his fate: "This can be confirmed." ”
"Wait!!" A dusty young man suddenly stood in front of Nokura Shin.
Tsukahara Molong saw that someone dared to stop him, and he couldn't help but have some interest in the young man in front of him: "What do you want to do when you asked me to wait?" ”
"Please, don't kill my brother......" The young man looked pleading, but his eyes kept glancing at the ashigaru around him, obviously hinting at them to stop Tsukahara Moryu.
"Your brother?" Tsukahara Molong smiled slightly: "This is not easy to do, after all, we fight between schools, and death and injury are inevitable, if it is for you to let it go, I am afraid that the rules will be broken." ”
The young man's face changed, and he asked in a low voice after a long time, "Does someone have to fall?" ”
"Theoretically."
"Then, exchange my life for my brother's life." The young man said firmly.
"Bastard, what are you talking about!" Ohno Kuranobu angrily reprimanded the young man: "This is my competition with Tsukahara-sama, you little hairy head is not qualified to die under the sword of Tsukahara-sama, don't get out of here!" ”
"Oooh?" Tsukahara Moryū looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and glanced around seemingly inadvertently, and some of the bold ashigaru who wanted to step forward suddenly shrank back.
"Who are you, tell me about it, you may be qualified to die at the hands of my Kanto Demon Dragon."
"My name is Ono Shinzaemon, the third son of the Ohno family, I traveled with my uncle when I was a teenager, and now I have just returned to Suruga......" Despite Ohno Kurano's resistance, Ohno Shinzaemon spoke.
"Oh, that's it, but the famous generals of the Kanto region, I have also killed a lot, you are an ordinary family child, and you are not the eldest son, it doesn't seem to be qualified." Tsukahara Molong continued to laugh, but at this time, everyone could hear the taste: Tsukahara Molong did not intend to kill the young man in front of him, it seemed that ...... There is also the meaning of solicitation.
Ohno Shinzaemon also heard Tsukahara Moryu's voice, and hurriedly spoke: "I once learned archery from Yoshida Shigemasa in Minami-Omi, and served as a bowashigaru under him for a while. Later, he practiced kendo at the dojo in Kasumi-ryu, Kyoto, and was praised by Master Shibo. He also participated in battles at the Hatano family, the Asakura family, and the Miyoshi family, and received a sentimental certificate. ”
Tsukahara Molong listened for a long time, but shook his head: "Although you have participated in many battles during your travels, you are far less than my night battle in Ninja City. ”
Although Tsukahara Molong's words were almost nonsense, Ohno Shinzaemon still reacted at the moment of life and death: Tsukahara Moryū didn't care about his bravery and combat experience at all, so he ...... "My lord, I have also participated in the construction of cities, and I am quite familiar with the structure of various castles, and I have also participated in water conservancy construction, and I have also developed copper mines in the country of missiles!" ”
