Chapter 4 The Gambling Contract and the Kenshin Seed
Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils shrank, frowned and thought for a while, nodded quietly, and stretched out his hand to the person on the ground.
β...β
"It's a bit heavy... Yagyu... Senior brother?"
Hesitantly calling out a name, Uesugi Kiyoshi simply shook hands with Yanagi Ken.
He didn't completely believe in this person, he wasn't so naΓ―ve, he believed whatever people said.
Merely... This man can't beat him.
There is a powerful tyrannosaurus-level wild sword warrior in the family, and the lord of the barren river who has guarded the barrakawa for hundreds of years, and there is also a ghost king who hides the great rivers and mountains in his body.
As far as Liu Shengjian is concerned, it's not that he brags, and he is not afraid of coming to the first team.
He didn't use the slightest supernatural ability, he just used the strength of his body, not even a sword.
His current sword is not the same as it was then.
Injecting mirage into the volume of the dog god can improve Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical fitness, and injecting mirage into the volume of the demon sword improves Uesugi Kiyoshi's ability to understand and use the sword.
The same is to hold the pen, some people write loosely, like a dog crawling, and some people calligraphy vigorously, like a pine and cypress, which can actually be regarded as the ability to understand and use the pen is different.
In short, "proficiency".
Uesugi Kiyoshi was originally a kendo genius, and with the assistance of the Demon Sword Scroll, it was even more powerful.
He was able to accurately enter the white blade empty-handed, and he was also able to find the flaws in Liu Shengjian's sword moves, and he took advantage of the weakness to enter, and he also had the credit for this rapid improvement in swordsmanship.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Shengjian's sword move just now did have the flavor of "one sword and two cuts" of the new Yin Stream, but the speed was slightly slower than that of the New Yin Stream, but the power was much greater.
Maybe it's an improvement of Yagyu's new Yin Current.
Thinking of this, Uesugi Kiyoshi believed in Yanagi Ken's identity a little more, swordsmanship can't deceive people.
Invited people to sit down in the middle of the room, and glanced at Shingo Narumi, who was already holding a knife, and Uesugi Kiyoya sat down and pretended to speak casually.
"Well, Senior Brother Yanagi, I can understand that I came to deliver something, but... What is the reason for swords facing each other as soon as they meet? β
"It's an unedged knife, but it scares me."
Hearing this, Yanagi's smile became even more bitter, and even his face was a little red, as if he was ashamed.
"This..."
"It's... Hey..."
His face was sad, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was getting colder and colder, if he couldn't give him a reasonable answer, he wouldn't be so easy to fool around.
Perhaps sensing the solemnity of the atmosphere, Yanagi Jian sighed and opened his mouth like a broken jar.
"Uesugi-kun, that's right."
"The family teacher is also a member of the Residence Association, and he participated in the swordsman gathering of Mount Aso with his predecessors in Shangquan, and the origin relationship between the new Yin Stream and the new Yin Stream of Yanagi, I guess I don't need to say more, the two swordsmen have known each other for a long time, and they are very familiar with each other."
"But what about the relationship between them... It's some... It's hard to put into words. β
"Just... Rejoice. Yanagi came up with a very appropriate adjective.
"The family teacher has a very high-quality sword heart seed, this is something that the seniors of the Juxiang Association know, and as soon as the senior Shangquan goes, he asks the family teacher for this sword heart seed."
"The quality of the sword heart seed determines the success rate of awakening the sword heart and stepping into the extraordinary, which will also increase the clarity of the sword heart and reduce the intrusion of ghosts and gods, so a good sword heart seed is hard to find."
"The two old friends argued for a long time, and it seemed that they had reached an agreement, and in the end, the family teacher still gave the sword heart seed to the senior of Shangquan, but his old man had a strong personality and had nothing to hide when he spoke, so he muttered, saying, "Don't give my treasure to a waste of firewood, it's a good thing to be blind in vain."
"Shangquan's predecessor is also hot-tempered, and he said [waste firewood? My precious apprentice is facing the head of your family, and he can't be put down within three moves, and I will walk around when I see you from now on!! γβ
The two quarreled while talking, and finally a few seniors came to persuade them, and the two made a bet.
"What the family teacher means, let me have a fight with Uesugi-kun and divide the winners and losers, after all, I heard what Shangquan's predecessors said, you are still young, as long as your strength is passable, it doesn't hurt to give you this sword heart seed."
But Shangquan's predecessors insisted on refusing, saying that the family teacher looked down on people too much, he said, [What level are you the chief of the righteous son, I know, some talent, but only some talent, hard work, but hard work can't solve everything, no matter what method he uses, whether it's a surprise attack or a sneak attack, as long as he can defeat Qing, I don't want this sword heart seed, I promised you the conditions before, and I will do it!] γβ
"So..."
As he spoke, Yanagi lowered his head, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.
He doesn't want to defeat Uesugi Kiyoshi, he has a sword, the enemy has no sword, and he will fall with one move, which means that no one will see it, if it is publicized, I am afraid that the reputation of Yanagi Shin Yin Liu will be ruined by him.
"Sorry! Uesugi-kun, I don't want Master to lose either! I didn't want to lose the face of Yanagi Xinyin, so I made a sneak attack! I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to win, this sword heart seed is still for you, at least there is light on Master's face!"
"My methods are a little dishonorable, and I have tasted the consequences... I'm really sorry! β
This Yanagi Ken is a sincere person, and he knelt and bowed and apologized, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little restless.
He still appreciates this kind of honest person, so he hurriedly supported Liu Shengjian and said softly: "Senior Brother Liu Sheng is serious, we are just fighting, winning or losing is a trivial matter, don't hurt the harmony of the two families." β
With that, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice again.
"Don't worry, it's all your own people here, no one will chew their tongues, and Master and I don't like to be in the limelight."
"Master, his old man has poured too much effort into me, and his temper is still strong, so I can't listen to others say that I am not good, I understand this in my heart, he may offend people when he speaks, and I am a little heavy, I apologize to my senior brother, don't take it to heart."
He has no mercy on the enemy Uesugi Kiyoshi, and he can also do it without leaking a drop of water to his friends, so there is nothing wrong with saying this, and Yanagi Ken is almost moved to tears, and it seems that the wound in his chest does not hurt anymore.
β...β
"Hey, it's nothing like this."
"Senior Brother Uesugi -- I'll call you Senior Brother."
"I was accepted as a righteous son by my master at the age of four, I started to learn swords at the age of six, and I stepped into the transcendent at the age of twelve, and I am thirty-four years old this year."
"After decades of hard work, I have also earned a little reputation in the kendo circle, and I really won't tell you that when Shangquan's seniors said that junior brother can put me down in three moves, I was also angry in my heart."
"If this is said by the senior of Shangquan himself, I naturally have nothing to say, but one of his closed disciples who has not taught for a few years can easily defeat me, and it is inevitable that he looks down on people too much."
"It's true that there are people outside the world, the reality really gave me a slap in the face, and you didn't even use a sword... Hey..."
The honest man Yanagi Jian's face was gray, obviously he had been hit hard.
But he seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly perked.
"Forget it, just like Shangizumi's predecessor said, I'm just a little talented, and I can't compare to you freak-like geniuses."
"Although it's a little embarrassing to say these things now, but, Senior Brother Uesugi, I'm only the first disciple of the master and the chief, but I am by no means the strongest in Yanagi Xinyin."
"Among the disciples of this generation, the one who can be worthy of the title of leader is the master's son, Liu Shenglian."
"He is two years older than you, his kendo strength is superb, and he has the style of Liu Sheng's three-day dog, if you have the opportunity, I really look forward to the two of you fighting, it must be a wonderful battle!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, not taking these words to heart.
Swordsman?
Scold...
Unless you reach the master's level, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and the ghosts and gods are not there.
Otherwise, with his current means, the body of the god descends, the mirage is fueled, the flame of the ghost king and the power of the barakawa are side by side, and he will cut out a dragon sparrow, what kind of flesh mortal can bear?
"Next time, definitely!"
Simply gave Yanagi Ken a reply, Uesugi Kiyoshi set his eyes on the safe on the side - this thing is quite heavy, this senior brother Yanagi carried it all the way, it seems that the physique of the transcendent is really not comparable to ordinary people.
When Yanagi Ken saw this look, he instantly understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi meant.
He took a key from his bosom, inserted it into the lock hole of the safe, pressed a few more codes, and with a creak, the door of the safe opened.
The space inside is very narrow, and there are two things on it.
A sword, a piece ... Mirror.
