Chapter Twenty-Six: Juhe Dao (Thanks to the Recommendation Vote of the Undead Saint Master + One More Chapter)

"Stone ...... Ishikawa Goemon! ”

This time it was Sho's turn to be surprised, if it was true, then this guy in front of him was too famous in RB history.

According to official rumors, he was arrested while stealing a valuable tea vessel from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and was sentenced to death by Toyotomi Hideyoshi by boiling a kettle, and there are rumors that he actually tried to assassinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

There are many novels, anime, film and television dramas created and adapted based on his deeds, and it can be said that this is indeed a great person, and when Shota looked at him for a while, he suddenly thought of something.

"Who do you say you are?"

"In Shimoishikawa Goemon."

"Isn't he a thief?"

That's right! The system tailor-made a kendo system for him, but he hadn't heard that this guy could also do kendo, so it could be that he had the same name and surname.

"Your Excellency misunderstood. What you are talking about is the ancestor of the next, I am indeed called Ishikawa Goemon, but it is the thirteenth generation of Ishikawa Goemon. ”

"Thirteen generations...... Ishikawa ...... Goemon? ”

I'll go! What the hell is this? Don't bother about that, Shota bowed to him.

"Please teach me how to fight at close quarters."

"Close up? I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Seeing Ishikawa Goemon's indifferent expression, Shota finally said the stone that pressed on his heart today.

It turned out that he didn't think about making a move when facing Yada, but he knew that he couldn't reach the strange power of Yamalan's sudden explosion, and he couldn't reach the strength of a one-hit kill.

And the robe chop that he learned before didn't work at all on that occasion. One is that there is no sword in his hand, and the other is that there is no distance for him to put on a starting hand at all.

This is also the reason why he has always been uneasy in his heart.

"I see, I see. Of all the things you learn, there is one that suits you better, but ......"

"But what?"

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Shota hurriedly asked.

"But this move cannot be practiced overnight, it must be practiced day and night and familiarize yourself with the sword in your hand and form a tacit understanding between the two."

"Familiar? Tacit understanding? ”

How familiar is the sword? Do you want to form a tacit understanding? It was difficult for the adult sword to be united, but seeing his solemn expression, Xiangtai nodded.

"I get it, I can hold on."

"Well, I'm going to teach your name as Iai.

The Iai sword technique originated from what is commonly known as "sword drawing". The existence of sword drawing as an independent sword art can be traced back to the early Nara or Heian periods in ancient Japan, until 1930, when the term "Iaido" began to appear to replace the original "sword drawing technique".

And when it comes to drawing the sword, we have to mention his founder Hayashi Shisuke Shigenobu, his school is Hayashi Myojin Dream Stream, as for this genre is currently lost, and most of the current Iai Dao is based on that branch. ”

"Lost!"

Then you still talk about yarn, Shota looked at him and suddenly felt that this guy couldn't be a fool.

"First of all, I would like to talk about the meaning of Iaido. The so-called two words are symbolic of the two sides of the confrontation, and the way of Juhe is about killing with one blow. ”

"One hit kills!"

Shota suddenly remembered that Shimazu Toyohisa had taught him that the Satsuma Show-flowing robe slash was also about killing with one blow, and there was death and no life under one sword.

Why are all the swordsmanship he has learned so dangerous?

"Don't get me wrong, the so-called one-hit kill does not mean that someone will die after the knife is struck, this is a wrong view."

Sensing Shota's surprise, Ishikawa Goemon raised the sword in front of him and said.

"The times are developing, and the sword has changed from the barbaric fighting of ancient times to today's competitive sports, and Juhedao has also implemented this idea to the extreme.

It can be said that it is another bladeless technique. ”

"No Blade!?"

"Not bad. According to its true name, Mutojutsu should be "Mutotori", which originated in the late Warring States period in Yagyu Shin-Yin Ryu.

The essence of Yanagi New Yin Stream is "no knife taking", that is, using empty hands to restrain the opponent with a sword in his hand, in fact, it is what we usually call "empty-handed white blade", and Yanagi New Yin Stream does not approve of killing to hone sword skills.

In "The Sword of the Living" and "The Scroll of No Sword", the meaning of Yagyu's "no sword" is reflected: "If we don't kill, we win without being killed." "That's exactly what they think."

"And that's it!"

Shota also learned today that there was a school of living swords, and the samurai in the sword halberd movies and samurai movies that I watched since I was a child basically rarely drew their swords.

Unless it is a last resort, once the sword is unsheathed, it will be an inevitable life-and-death battle scene, and this idea has always been passed down to him, but the Iaido he heard today is greatly beyond his impression of the kind of sword drawing technique that is as fast as lightning when it is unsheathed.

"Can't Juhedao kill people?"

That's where Shota really cares.

"You're wrong! Iaido is a sword technique that kills people. Pull that is, cut off, not pull or cut, this knife is only a blade when it is chopped, and the opportunity to see through the moment in waiting is the true essence of Juhe. ”

"Huh!"

When Shota was distracted and thinking about the meaning of his words, a cold light flashed in front of him, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead when he reacted.

The body's instinctual response is faster than consciousness.

It is precisely because it is a murderous sword that knocks down the opponent in the second moment before the opponent draws the sword with a quick draw, so that the opponent is in a situation of "carrying a knife as if there is no sword", so it is said that Iaido is an "alternative swordless technique".

Because the general "no sword" means that the user himself has no sword, and the Iai sword method is a sword technique that makes the opponent fall into the realm of no sword.

You get the idea? ”

"Ming...... I see. ”

Although he hadn't recovered from the shadows just now, Shota suddenly looked at him with an excited expression, and even his hands trembled unconsciously.

"Juhedao wins quickly, isn't that the proof that the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable?"

Looking at his hands that were still trembling slightly, Shota shook them together excitedly.

"I want to learn!"

"Good! To learn the way of harmony, you must first understand one thing, this is a sword of revenge, in which the sword is as quiet as a virgin in the sheath, once the sword light is out of the sheath, it will definitely run like thunder, you must first learn this way of movement. ”

That night, Ishikawa Goemon didn't teach Shota any movements and moves, but just let him sit quietly and watch himself.

On this night, Shota was slashed thirty-two times.

"Ahh I'm exhausted. ”

When he woke up, he felt more tired than he had worked on the construction site before, and yesterday Ishikawa Goemon asked him to exercise his concentration, and his body and mind were always in a state of high concentration, trying to find the right time for him to shoot at any time, and Shota, who was a novice, was stunned to see that his neck was cramped, but he still didn't dodge it once.

Although he suffered a lot of losses, he really felt the horror of Juhedao.

It's a kind of swordsmanship that kills people with killing thoughts, and it's hard to have a second chance if you miss a sword at such a close range, so the horror of Juhedao is in its sudden first sword.
