Chapter 409: Talent
"Isn't that good?" Fang Xing asked.
Shandi was also cattened, with a little curiosity, waiting for Mr. Koshiro, who suddenly became solemn.
"It's a good idea," Koshiro thought about, "Everyone has their own understanding of the sword, either as I just said, or to kill... It is impossible to say which is the strongest. Each era has its own swordsmen, and their swords are different. ”
“... What do you mean? ”
First of all, it was said that the strongest sword was the sword of guardianship, but this meeting said that it was impossible to say which one was the strongest, and this contradictory statement made people feel stunned and puzzled. If it weren't for Koshiro, Fang Xing would definitely think that person was joking.
"Uhhh Meaning: Meaning.."
Koshiro seemed to be stopped at once, and he repeated the words in a daze.
Sandi sighed, although he was a little disappointed, but he was used to this scene, Mr. Koshiro always dropped the chain at a critical time, just like when teaching swordsmanship, he often said a lot of truths, but when he used it, he was always short of two pounds.
Fang Xing didn't rush to get an answer, he moved his gaze to him and waited quietly.
"Ahh
As if he suddenly had an answer, Koshiro's body slumped, showing an extremely exaggerated expression, but after this expression, a serious appearance appeared.
"What do you think a knife is?" Koshiro asked.
Fang Xing looked stunned, this was a very common question, Peach Rabbit, who had taught him sword skills, smiled. He had already asked this question, and he already had the answer, and he said in an affirmative tone: "It is a tool, a tool to show swordsmanship, a tool to win." ”
"Tools.." Koshiro muttered, without any surprise on his face, he didn't get angry because he was a swordsman, and when others compared swords to tools. Although he did not agree with this view, he could not find the words to refute it, the sword, the blade... It's just a tool, and it's a tool for killing.
"It's not a tool!" Sandy shouted, he was already at odds with Fang Xing, how could he let him insult the sword he had studied for so long.
"Then you say, what is the blade?" Fang Xing asked rhetorically, he didn't mean to accommodate the little kid.
"The blade is a self-training... Target... In short, not a tool! Sandy replied forcefully, never giving the so-called answer.
While he was hesitating how to answer, a weight came over his shoulders, it was... Fang Xing suddenly placed the wooden blade straight across his shoulder.
"What do you do..!"
"Let me give you a feel for the so-called tools." Fang Xing said.
A tremendous pressure that Sandy had never felt before emanated from the wooden blade, which did not have any water chestnuts. Even if it didn't touch, it forced Sandy to collapse downward.
"There's no need to embarrass children." Koshiro gently held Fang Xing's wrist with his hand, still maintaining a kind face, looking harmless to humans and animals, but the strength of his wrist was always within the range of Fang Xing's strength.
"I'm just kidding." Fang Xing withdrew the wooden blade and said with a smile.
Koshiro also hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said a little cowardly as if he was tough just now: "Ah, I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now." ”
Fang Xing looked at him, unable to tell what it was like. Koshiro is tough for a while, then soft, and you can never really be sure what he's thinking.
After this embarrassing scene, Koshiro didn't think it was a good thing to let Sandi stay here.
"Shandi, you leave first, like everyone else, let's go to the gym to train first."
Perhaps because of Fang Xing's coercive behavior just now, this time Sandy did not refuse, but nodded and said, "I... I know. ”
After Sandi walked towards the gym, Koshiro breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Fang Xing and continued the topic just now.
"There are no absolutes in the sword, your blade is too precise, but it lacks verve."
"Shen Yun, what's that?"
"Uhhh I don't know how to explain it. Your blades are all aimed at winning, but there is less attendance, or other considerations. It's not wrong for a swordsman to win, but... If you care too much about winning or losing, you may be missing something. ”
Koshiro was stunned for a moment, perhaps because such a statement is not enough to explain, he gave an example: "In the arena of life and death in some countries, one is a brutal competitor who does not rely on loneliness for the purpose of victory, he has a strong body and strong courage, and the other is a cowardly competitor with a wife and children. ”
"It's a very strange result." Fang Xing said. "It's just that this result often appears in the story, and in the real arena, the player will not have a wife and children at all."
Fang Xing is right, in this pirate world, it is not uncommon for the arena to be used as an entertainment tool for nobles, and many countries have this building, however... Most of these players are slaves, they have no so-called power at all, and it is extremely difficult for them to survive, let alone marry a wife and have children, which is wrong from the beginning.
"Uh... You're right. Koshiro said slightly embarrassed, "But don't dwell on this issue, I just want to explain something." ”
Fang Xing nodded, and did not continue to interject, but waited for his answer, "Then you can continue." ”
Koshiro paused for a moment, as if in the thoughts of a rational mind, he continued: "There is no pressure without a burden, when a person does not have any burden, just to win or lose, he may be strong, but he is not the strongest when he beats you." Because he ignores innovation, kendo is originally created by people, so innovation means breakthroughs, once you care too much about winning or losing, you will be bound by the rules. But when a person has an object to protect, then he is burdened again, and even if it is a situation where he must lose, it may create miracles. Kendo, this kind of thing, is not immutable, your delicate entanglement on how to cause the best attack, but there is no breakthrough, which also means that you can never become the strongest swordsman, only the sword of protection... It's possible to make a difference, that's what I think. ”
Fang Xing fell silent, like a tree in a courtyard without wind, he was stunned, without a trace of action, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he returned: "Is there still such a statement... It sounds like a bit of a point, and I hadn't thought about it before, but if you say it in a serious tone, your words can at least add three points to your credibility. ”
When Koshiro said what he said just now, he said in a somewhat amiable tone, a little cowardly, and a little uncertain that such an attitude could not make people fully believe him at all.
“.. Ahem.." Koshiro coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
Fang Xing wasn't ready to continue to be embarrassed, he said, "Rather than saying, I think you should demonstrate it." ”
"Give me the wooden blade."
Koshiro didn't refuse, he took the wooden blade from Fang Xing's hand, as if facing the problem, he exhaled deeply, and made the gesture he showed when fighting the others. It looks unusually serious, and if other Daoist disciples see it, they will definitely shout in shock, "Teacher Koshiro, it turns out that there is such a scene." ”
He held the wooden blade silently, maintaining a posture all the time.
The wind was blowing, and the trees in the courtyard shook off a few leaves in the wind.
“.. This is my sword. Koshiro said confidently, picking on one of the fallen leaves and swinging the blade straight away. However, instead of hitting the fallen leaves, he brushed them.
To others, it was an adult wielding a blade at will, aiming at the leaves, but not hitting.
“... It was an accident. Koshiro hurriedly explained.
Visually, this looks like a joke, a rookie who has not been learning kendo for a long time, so much so that he can't even chop leaves.
However, Fang Xing saw other scenes on it, he didn't listen to Koshiro's explanation, but said to himself: "Is this your so-called guardian sword here?" Cutting everything is continuous, but everything is cut off. ”
This is a sword without any skills, without any fancy skills, it is cut straight like this, and it is swung in the air, no matter how you look at it, it is a mistake, but Fang Xing doesn't think so, in Fang Xing's opinion, this is a sword that means innovation, because it is not cut, it means other possibilities, in other words, this is a sword with possibilities.
"Uh..."Koshiro looked like he didn't understand what he meant, and he looked stupid.
“.. Your sword is obviously like this, but why do you stick to the old rules when teaching your students? Fang Xingdao, when Sandy swung his sword just now, he could see that this was a swordsman who was trained in strict accordance with the orthodox training method, and only in this way would the trajectory of his blade be so simple. He didn't understand why Koshiro was so casual when he was swinging his sword, but why he followed the rules when teaching his students.
This is an inexplicable point, obviously Koshiro is not ready to interpret this, he is like a helpless person, turning his head, looking at Fang Xing with questions and strangeness, so that Fang Xing is embarrassed to ask any more.
“... If you want to prepare food, how long will it take? Fang Xing changed the topic, in addition to the fact that he came here because of Koshiro's relationship, he had the intention to ask for kendo advice, in addition, it was to buy food.
"One day." Koshiro returned without even thinking about it.
"That's fast,... It looks like you've been selling grain more than once. Fang Xing said. If it was the first time to sell food, he would not have thought about many problems at all, and it would take at least a few days to prepare the grain for thousands of people, but Koshiro said casually, which meant that it was not the first time he had made a transaction.
"Uh... It is just a matter of preparing in advance for the sake of preparing for a disaster. Koshiro explained.
“... Then forget it. Fang Xing didn't plan to continue asking, he had already got the answer he wanted. But.. Can you fight me? ”
Fang Xing's sudden post made Gengshiro stunned, he showed a frightened look, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Spare me, do you think I look like the kind of person who can fight?" ”
Koshiro compared the biceps muscle, which is a thin muscle, according to the animal world, his muscle is the deepest in the food chain, like a grass-eating green worm, even Sandi shows a lot better muscles than him, and he doesn't want to be a sword-wielding person at all.
"I just know some ideas, I can't talk about time at all." He said.
"But I don't think so." Fang Xing replied: "It's hard to see anything from the appearance alone, and this also applies to the muscles, a group of people I know... Well.. CP9, that's a bunch of guys who can manipulate their own muscles, people can manipulate their muscles to a certain extent, and I think you're the same as those guys. ”
"Huh?" Koshiro said with a haha, "How can I... And again: CP9 What is that, it sounds so cool, and the members in it must not be simple. ”
"But I don't think you're simpler." Fang Xing kept holding on, and said-for-tat.
Koshiro left a few drops of cold sweat and said, "... I guess you're mistaken, my muscles are just able to wield a wooden blade, not a real gun. ”
Fang Xing glanced at him silently, Koshiro had been denying the question of his strength, although he didn't believe what he said, he also knew that it was just useless to continue.
Koshiro seemed to be more anxious than Fang Xing, he changed the topic first, and said in a slightly excited tone, "Do you know Sauron? ”
"Huh?"
"That's my proud student, I heard that he became a bounty hunter."
Fang Xing nodded, "That's really not easy, in this era, being a bounty hunter is much more difficult than being a pirate. ”
"Ah, that's right, I heard that he has achieved a good reputation after becoming a bounty hunter... Well, I believe it can be a good way to promote the reputation of the gym. He said.
Fang Xing really wanted to say that without his intervention, at this point in time, he estimated that he would soon be fooled into becoming a pirate by Luffy, and soon the reputation of your gym would become bigger in reverse.
But when the words came to his mouth, Fang Xing said, "How did he leave here?" ”
Although he had already expected this answer, Fang Xing still asked curiously.
“... Well, he's a slave's child, but he doesn't know the way, and after going out to buy something... And never came back. ”
"It's not like you don't know the way. To this extent, it can only be called talent. ”
This is an island, how do you have to not know the way to get out of this island?
"Huh," Koshiro chuckled, "Indeed. In kendo, I believe that he has a talent that is not inferior to you, a talent that works harder than anyone else, and a talent that he loves more than anything else. "Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
