Chapter 49: Practice

After reading the longing in Kiyowa's eyes, Zhibo said a familiar name:

"For example, Captain Yamamoto, his kendo... It's probably ten paragraphs that can't be described. I heard that at first, he didn't need to liberate the sword of the sword, and he could defeat the god of death below the captain with just the "sword pressure" on the knife, and it could also play a strong role in suppressing the captain. ”

After explaining casually, Zhibo pulled the topic back again: "So Qinghe, do you want to be that kind of person?" Or to practice kendo to the level of Captain Yamamoto. ”

"Although I yearn for... Sister Kedu, I understand what my strengths are. Maybe I'll make that choice in the future, but not now... Now, what I want to do is to create a strong spiritual force. ”

Qinghe gave a very accurate answer, and then got a smile from Zhibodu: "Very good, you know what you want." Many people always think that kendo is the sublimation of slashing, but these are fundamentally two beliefs. ”

"Sister Du is saying... Chopping is designed to learn the art of killing blades. ”

Under Zhibo's appreciative gaze, Qinghe's head turned faster: "Although the two have something in common, kendo contains a higher level of spiritual significance. ”

"That's right... Chopping is a physique, physical strength, and killing technique, and one party must die. Kendo, on the other hand, encompasses all human emotions such as observation, understanding, judgment, judgment, thinking, self-denial, etiquette, faithfulness, benevolence, and so on. ”

As he spoke, Zhibo made a corresponding expression on his face... Between the changes, Qinghe didn't feel any disobedience: this phenomenon is no longer something that can be summed up by "acting" - this is the mentality!

"Kendo is not just a matter of talking, but a mentality that you should cultivate with your whole life."

"In this kind of growth, you have to deal with the pains of exhaustion, heat, hunger, coldness, and that's part of it... But I think you can already skip the "patience" level. ”

Zhibo is still encouraged... Qinghe knows that his persistence in the past ten years is in the eyes of the other party.

"There is a concept of qi in kendo, which emphasizes awareness, relaxation, and making oneself more natural... After all, nature is our best teacher. ”

"Well, that's all... It's better to make a choice as soon as possible, so that you can better help your practice. ”

Zhibodu, who got up, walked to the wooden box in the corner of the dojo... When she returned, she already had a lot of books on her hands, and then she opened them one by one.

The fonts on the books are displayed in front of Qinghe's eyes one by one: Heart Shadow Flow, Standing Body Flow, One Knife Flow, Transmission Flow, No Thought Flow, Yanagi Flow... This turned out to be a book of kendo handed down from various genres: it is not surprising that the once glorious Shiba family can have these things.

"Flip through it, but remember to look at the first page... It's good to know the core of their genre. If you look at the things in the back, you will affect your judgment. Shibodu, who was sitting with his chest up again, smiled and spoke.

Qinghe, who nodded, quickly took out the first book of "One Knife Flow", turned the first page and read it... At the heart of this genre is the technique of slicing through the opponent's sword and hitting the opponent in one go.

It's simple, it's rough... Truly slag-free one-knife cut.

The content of the second page, you don't need to read it clearly and you also know that it takes a lot of time to practice... It is even necessary for him to give up something else for this: not for him.

Without too much hesitation, Qinghe quickly put down the book in his hand and asked Zhibo on the other side to nod slightly: The little guy in front of him is simply too rational... As long as you can choose the right school, the practice of kendo will not be too difficult... Because of his focus and patience, he is already a qualified beginner.

The name of the second book is also very simple and rude "Two Knife Stream", so Qinghe's mind suddenly popped up "Luo Luo Noah Zoro", a green-haired and super road idiot, a three-knife warrior.

"One knife, two knives, three knives... What's the difference?"

With a hint of curiosity, he turned the first page in his hand... The second knife flow, as the name suggests, is to use double knives to fight. At its core: Skill! Confuse your opponent with the strange swordsmanship of the twin swords and emerge victorious.

So Qinghe quickly put it down... He didn't have the heart to choose two knives, and his chopping knife didn't turn into two or three pieces after the first solution.

As far as he knew, the captain of the Yaban team, Kyoraku Chunshui's slashing knife, was first solved: "Flower Sky Crazy Bone" is a combination of attack and ghost attack type two slashing swords.

And the first captain he met, Ukitake Shishiro... His sword was originally called a pisces carp, and it was a knife that was split into two branches and turned into a shark's fin shape with the handles connected.

"Probably... There are two slashing swords after the first solution, and the Grim Reaper is very powerful, isn't it..."

Qinghe, who threw this thought out of his mind, then turned to the third, fourth, fifth... It wasn't until he found the twentieth book that he finally stopped.

"Mirror Heart Flow", this genre pays attention to the "position" of the action, that is, posture and form, and pays equal attention to artistry and practicality, and is more artistic. For things on the spiritual level, the requirements are higher.

And... Qinghe, who raised his head, saw the smile in Zhibodu's eyes: Qinghe found that the things described above were so consistent with her in front of her!

"Sister Du, can I turn the second page?"

"Qinghe, it's really decided... You know, you don't have a lot of time to start over. I'm learning "Mirror Flow" is good, but it may not be suitable for you. These kendo books are just a part of the story, and there are many, many more options to choose from. ”

Shiba has lost his temper for the first time... The emotion of "spoiling" appeared in her words: she was still very happy with Qinghe's intuition.

"Figured it out... There may or may not be a result if you pick it up. The core of the mirror flow is a good fit for myself. And Sister Du, you are also based on this genre of swordsmanship, so there is no need for me to replace it. ”

"It's not for the Lord, it's for the Single... Ever since I was a child, I have practiced only one school of kendo. Although compared to other genres, the mirror flow may not be as powerful and not as simple... It even needs to integrate the "bit" into the body, which seems more cumbersome. ”

"But once you get into the habit, you can become both artistic and powerful... Most importantly, you can incorporate it into your own life. Although these will not improve you too much for your battles, you can also experience a different kind of speech. ”

Seiwa had seen Shibato's neat slashing... Divided into two voids, the cleanliness without staining a drop of blood is full of beauty and tranquility.

That scene was engraved in my heart by Qinghe... Perhaps, this is the fate he said.

From that moment on, he was destined to embark on this path... Now Qinghe, there is no confusion about this, only the best for him is the best.

"Qinghe, you go back and read this book... Now, let's do the basics of posture training. ”

Qinghe, who got up with his comrade Bodu, began to become more and more focused: now that he has decided on the school he wants to practice, he needs to throw away the superfluous things...

"The principles of kendo, including how to use the sword correctly, the way to hold the knife, the body posture, the combat method, the body distance, the technique, the correct timing of the attack, the consistency of the qi sword body, and even the momentum and breathing have strict requirements."

After taking out the wooden knife, the two of them entered serious mode at the same time ... Next, she will teach by example.

"Tang Zhu."

Holding the knife in both hands, Shiba first moved his feet, adjusted his body, and organized his breathing, and then made a rather aesthetic straight slash under Kiyowa's observation.

Then Qinghe followed her example and made exactly the same movements.

"Robe."

Shibato, who changed his movements again, made a right diagonal cut... This time she sped up a bit: because Kiyowa had strong self-control, she was already able to skip these beginner stages.

"Seiwa has an introduction to kendo... I'm a 7th dan in kendo, and in a few decades, the little guy will surpass me..."

For the unusually surprising concentration of Qinghe, Zhibo teaches it very easily... But there is also a little loss: after all, the disciple is good enough, but the teacher will have nothing to teach in the end.
