Chapter Seventy-Three. Weapons & Partners
"Hehe, it's fine... Whew.." Master Heiyan breathed a long sigh of relief and handed the authentic back to Li Hao, "It's really old, now I don't even have the physical strength to swing a sword, otherwise, I really want to go directly to the door with this sword and solve the rebel with my own hands." ”
A good sword is definitely a terrifying bonus for a samurai, and if it was this authentic sword that Mr. Kurohiko was holding in his hand at the beginning, he was even sure that he could directly kill the rebel and the people of the other school!
"Sit down." Teacher Hei Yan beckoned Li Hao to sit down beside him, and then said thoughtfully, "Hao, before, I was already going to officially teach you the advanced swordsmanship of our Flowing Wind Lineage, but now, I think I should wait a little longer.
Until then, the most important thing you should do is to turn your weapon into your other arm..... Looking at the way you look, it seems that you can't control this famous knife, right? Although you can also change to a normal long knife and follow the normal path of swordsmanship.
But in that case, it's a pity, this sword of yours is the world's first-class famous sword, a good sword, for a samurai, almost as important as life, so I think, Hao, you should continue to practice from the basics... Use your own knife! ”
How to choose, Li Hao naturally knows, "I know, I hope the teacher will give advice." ”
Although if he gave up the authentic sect and followed the normal path of swordsmanship, it would definitely be much easier, and it would be effective in a very short period of time, but since there was a more promising path in front of him, how could he give up because of difficulties?
"That's good." Master Kurohiko nodded with satisfaction, "From today onwards, your daily cultivation volume will be doubled!"
In addition, every morning and evening, you will learn from me how to maintain your weapons, and then you will have to meditate on the sword and communicate with your sword. ”
In the evening, the students in the dojo had already left, and in the huge swordsmanship dojo, only Li Hao and Master Hei Yan were left, kneeling opposite each other, as if performing some kind of ritual, maintaining the swords in their hands.
"The sword has a spirit, and for your own saber, you must have the same feelings as a partner and friend, rather than just using it as a weapon for killing, so the samurai maintain their weapons and armor every day, which is also a kind of practice, which can allow you to better understand and communicate your saber, sharpen your sword heart, and pursue the sword and the sound of the man, the realm of the sword saint of heaven and man."
While explaining to Li Hao, Mr. Hei Yan carefully maintained and wiped the weapons in his hands, and the solemn and serious feeling inexplicably infected Li Hao, making him also change his mind a lot.
After carefully wiping the authentic knife, Li Hao learned from Mr. Kurohiko's method, put it across his lap, closed his eyes and began to look for the resonance and communication between the person and the sword in the dark.
To be honest, he is really not good at this kind of spiritual philosophy, belief and other things, and he can't understand it, but he also doesn't mind trying to learn it.
In an instant, a month has passed, and during this time, Li Hao has practiced slashing and stabbing in the foundation of swordsmanship during the day, and in the early morning and evening, he has been practicing sword meditation with Mr. Kurohiko, and I don't know if the mysterious sword meditation really has an effect, or if it is because of the psychological effect.
Although to this day, Li Hao is not able to perceive the authenticity and communicate with it as Master Kurohiko said, but he does feel that he is more and more in tune with the authentic sect, in the past, he just relied on his own powerful power to envoy the authentic sect, except for its own sharpness, he was completely unable to exert its true power.
And now, his control over authenticity has undoubtedly reached a higher level, and he has truly reached the point where he can drive like an arm.
Early this morning, when Li Hao came to the courtyard to carry out the daily routine basic exercises, he saw the branches and leaves of the maple trees in the courtyard that were already red, and suddenly realized that it was autumn now.
Rustling...
A breeze blew, and a fiery red maple leaf broke away from its branches and slowly fell.
At that moment, Li Hao suddenly felt like a blessing, drew his sword, and slashed horizontally!
Swish!
A lightning-fast silver light swept through the void, and the falling maple leaf was swept in half by the breeze, and landed in the courtyard.
Everything seemed to be normal, but Li Hao knew that from this moment on, he had officially become the owner of the authentic knife - that maple leaf was more than six meters away from Li Hao!
He raised the authentic knife and gently stroked it over the slender blade of the authentic sword with his fingertips, "I see, old man, are you finally willing to approve of me?" ”
Recite....
The bursts of soft groans seemed to be in response to him.
Mr. Kurohiko, as usual, had a cup of tea, alone, with his eyes closed, quietly kneeling on the ground and basking in the sun.
Li Hao glanced at his back from behind and walked up gently.
"Teacher."
Mr. Kurohiko opened his eyes, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "Looks like you've understood." ”
Li Hao knelt down and gave a deep salute to Teacher Hei Yan, "Thank you for the teacher's teaching, I already understand." ”
Kurohiko-sensei smiled, "That's good. ”
Li Hao got up, looked directly into Teacher Hei Yan's eyes and said, "Teacher, call Senior Brother Kaisuke to go, the disciple will slash that traitor and take back the glory and dignity of the Ichishin Dojo!" ”
Teacher Hei Yan glanced at Li Hao strangely, "It's too early, right?" ”
"That's enough." Li Hao said softly.
He knew that if it weren't for that traitor, Kurohiko-sensei wouldn't have accepted him and taught him swordsmanship, and now, although he hadn't been able to learn the swordsmanship and inheritance of the Yishin Dojo, under Kurohiko-sensei's teaching, he had truly become the authentic master, and that was enough.
These days, he has long regarded Kurohiko as a true mentor, so he doesn't want this master-apprentice bond to turn into a transaction.
Teacher Hei Yan glanced at Li Hao deeply, then suddenly shook his head with a smile, and said, "Hehe, Hao, you always think too much, young people shouldn't be such a character."
You are the fourth disciple of my Kurobhiko Hirata, and the last disciple to close the door, we are dedicated to the sword skills and inheritance of the dojo, if I don't pass it on to you, who else can I pass it on? ”
"Teacher...."
Teacher Kurohiko waved his hand, "Okay, from tomorrow, you can finish the basic training, and I have to hurry up and officially teach you and me the advanced sword skills of the flowing wind line, after all, old man, my body, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive the next winter." ”
Li Hao was silent for a long time, made another big salute, touched the ground with his head, and replied loudly: "Yes! Master! ”
Master, teacher, two identical but different titles, are enough to prove Li Hao's mind, the so-called master is like a teacher and a father!
