Chapter 6: The Man in the Mirror

"Tut-tut."

"I dare to pack the ticket, even if you old rascal have a son, you will be so spoiled, I have never seen the great swordsman of the new Yin stream so kind."

"I said how can I have so much confidence in Shang Ah Jian, you, a closed disciple, seem to be your lifeline, and you gave up your face to ask me for the sword heart seed, just to give it to him."

"That's not a waste of my baby..."

Yanagi Tehei is not a person who can't afford to lose, not to mention that he and Kamiizumi Hidekawa look at odds, but they are actually bad friends, they fought together at the beginning, and they cut people's lives.

Hidekawa Kamiizumi rolled his eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, you lost, remember what you promised me, Yanagi Xinyin's Moon Copy, you have to borrow me for a while!"

Yanagi waved his hand impatiently.

"Here you go, this is also for that kid?"

“... It's okay, Xiuchuan, the day of the imperial trial is approaching, and the royal trial is determined by the qualification to perform martial arts, are you..."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa nodded proudly.

"That's right, this year's Imperial Trial, I'm going to let Qing go, it's not that I'm arrogant, a swordsman of his generation, in my eyes, no one can win against him."

"Your little son who blows to the sky can't do it."

"You know my criteria for selecting apprentices, the first thing I look for is talent."

"Hard work is not worth mentioning in my eyes, because that's the basics!"

"Mediocre talents can use their work, but geniuses can't? But the gap in talent is absolutely irreparable! ”

"Do you know how long Qing has been learning swords from me? Less than a year! ”

"He learned to take without a knife in three days, and the secret technique of the new Yin Stream has been learned, and today, a month later, he can use a knifeless to take the enemy and take down the chief of your seat! Can you do it, little son? ”

Yanagi Toru flat's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he looked at Kamiizumi Hidekawa in dismay, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he could only shake his head sullenly.

"Lian is a swordsman I have trained since I was a child, if it is so compared, it is you, the apprentice, who wins..."

"Hmph, it seems that Lian's kendo career won't be lonely in the future... He kept complaining to me that he didn't have a decent opponent. ”

Hidekawa Kamizumi rolled his eyes again, snorted, ended the small talk, and Masasei spoke to Kiyoshi Uesugi.

"Qing, I know you have some extraordinary abilities, but you shouldn't have awakened Kenshin yet."

"This Kenshin Seed is a treasure trove of the miser of Tokuhei, and it is one of the best Kenshin Seeds currently in existence in Japan - this is the best I can give you."

"I'm in a hurry, I haven't told you some things, make up for it here, we swordsmen awaken the sword heart, and we all need to use the sword heart seed."

"And the role of the sword heart seed is to let the swordsman [look directly at the heart], the better the quality of the sword heart seed, the more the swordsman can see the most true self."

"The extraordinary abilities of the transcendent come from the [spirit], and the same is true for the swordsman, the [qi] of the swordsman is also a kind of extraordinary power condensed by the explosion of spiritual power, combined with the energy in the cells of the body."

"To awaken the sword heart and awaken the [qi] in the body, the swordsman needs to have a deep understanding of himself at the spiritual level, strengthen his beliefs, and cut off the distracting thoughts and demons in his heart."

"This sword heart seed is a tool for you to face yourself."

"If someone has strong spiritual power, and can even be reminded of the memory of their past life by the sword heart seed, the dual spiritual power will explode, and the power after awakening will be even stronger."

"This process will be dangerous, so I sent Murayu back, you take that knife, that knife has the effect of calming souls, destroying demons, killing ghosts, and calming the gods, which can make the process of your awakening smoother."

"Find a spacious place and let Rin and Kin protect the Dharma for you, and you can prepare it without further ado."

"Ah Jian, did you bring the test stone?"

Yanagi nodded hurriedly and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment, got up and walked to the backyard, the backyard of this dojo is very spacious, presumably awakening a sword heart, it will not be earth-shattering.

"Shingo, you help me look ahead, if Liu comes, give him this handful of snow, Rin, you accompany me to the backyard."

After two sentences and some explanations, a few minutes later, in the Japanese-style courtyard in the backyard of the dojo, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat cross-legged regardless of the dew on the bluestone floor, his hands folded, palms facing the sky.

The sword seed was carefully held in his hand.

Village rain was placed in front of him within reach.

And in front of the village rain, there is a black stone that is not gold or jade.

As a tool man, Yanagi Ken was dutifully holding up his mobile phone and adjusting a suitable position so that the two swordsmen over there could see Uesugi Kiyoshi's whole body.

"Qing, that's the sword test stone, after the swordsman awakens, he will cut out a sword with enlightenment, that sword is the explosion of faith, its power determines your potential in the way of the sword."

"The sword test stone has three feet, the sword is invulnerable, only the sword of consciousness when the swordsman awakens, can cut into it, how deep it can be cut, how strong the consciousness is, the stronger the ability to manipulate qi, and the farther it can go on the way of the transcendent sword."

"Don't be nervous... Clear. ”

"I've always been very accurate in my opinion, and you're stronger than me, a third-rate swordsman."

"What I can't reach, you might be able to touch."

"I'm old, some things, it's up to you!"

At the end, Hidekawa Kamizumi's face was complicated and full of emotion.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stared at his master's face, which was no longer young, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily.

He also wanted to know what this Kenshin Seed would bring him.

What he cares about the most... It is "the memory of a past life that can be evoked by the Kenshin Seed".

He had always thought that he remembered the memories of his past life clearly, but after going through so many things, he was not sure.

The poor boy on the earth who relied on hard work in his memory was really his previous life?

Those lifelike, not fake, fragments of memories really happened to him?

He... Who is it?

Maybe the answer is in hand.

Exhaled a breath of turbid air, calmed down, and used the method that Master said to connect the sea of consciousness with the mirror-like sword heart seed.

Slowly, a feeling of drowsiness came over me.

The surroundings became unexpectedly warm, like being in the arms of a mother... He was so comfortable that he almost moaned.

I don't know how long it took, but Uesugi was in a daze, and his consciousness seemed to melt.

At a certain moment, the warmth receded like a tide, and Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his eyes sharply.

There was endless darkness all around, and there was nothing in the sight.

Only in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi stood a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

In the mirror, there is a familiar "himself".

Before he could come back to his senses, he saw a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth in the mirror, raised his hand, and said hello to him.

"Hello, Kiyoshi Usugi."

He said in the mirror.

But he... His hands hung down at the sides of his legs, and he didn't move at all, and he didn't speak!
