Chapter 1356 Famous Knife

"yes, tell us about it, Oliver, I'd like to know." Helenie also helped and sat down on a chair to the side.

Oliver smiled, a little satisfied with the vanity in his heart, and then looked around, and found that a familiar figure was missing, and hurriedly asked, "Well, who knows where Elio has gone?" I haven't seen him today! ”

"Oh, Elio is in the game room, he must be in the game now." Helenie replied immediately.

"He's okay alone, right? His body can't stand the toss! Did anyone look at him? Oliver was a little worried.

"It's okay, I put restrictions on his machine, and if there is no rear support, once he does strenuous exercise, he will be forced off the line." Hilgai spread his hands and said: "But anyway, I don't have to fight with anyone now, I will explain to him that nothing will happen." ”

"Then I'll be relieved, huh~~~" Oliver exhaled, paused, organized the language a little, and began to speak: "Well, next, I'll talk about the legend of the most powerful swordsman in the Shengyang Kingdom from ancient times to the present!" ”

"He was born poor, the son of a lowly serf, he and his family, for generations to serve the 'Shijo' daimyo, well, in short, his childhood or something, is not well known, many scholars also estimate, at that time, he was really just an ordinary untouchable."

Originally, he would marry a descendant of the same serf as his father and ancestors, and then give birth to one or several children, and continue to be a serf obediently. But a war changed everything, and his father fell ill a month before he was drafted, so he had to be his replacement when the war began. In this way, he took a sharpened bamboo and his mother's newly made straw sandals, and set out on the expedition. ”

"He was assigned to the Shijo family, the subordinate of Shijo Sokatsu. That is a mediocre person, whether it is courage, knowledge, or force, he is extremely ordinary, well, far inferior to the second son Shijo Sokei. The brothers have been at odds for a long time, and this war is another excellent opportunity, and in this way, Taro Yamada was unknowingly involved in this infighting. ”

"Zong Sheng's first battle ushered in a great defeat, although his rare extraordinary performance was not a good command ability, but there were too many enemies, a small number of elite warriors were quickly exhausted, and the rest of the serf soldiers were completely collapsed. Sokatsu was shot by a stray arrow and fell from his horse in the chaos of the king, and Taro Yamada, who happened to be not far away at the time, took the risk to rescue him. ”

Heleni nodded and said, "Hmm, this is what the people of Shengyang have been talking about 'loyalty'?" ”

"To be exact, the people of Cyris said it, well, the people of the Rising Sun Kingdom are deeply influenced by them. Ah, by the way, it's not enough to talk about loyalty, after all, even if Taro Yamada is a lord of Sokatsu, in normal times, there is no anxiety between them, and it can be said that before enlistment, they have never met. However, two years before the start of the war, Zong Shengyuanfu, that is, came of age, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, in order to enhance his prestige and show benevolence, he distributed food and cloth to all the people. Therefore, with just a load of rice and a coarse cloth, this fallen boy got a young serf who gave up his life to repay the favor. ”

"The two men were lucky, and soon after the defeat, it rained heavily, blocking their pursuers and covering their whereabouts. Even, Taro Yamada, who was running around with the young master on his back, ran into a loyal retainer brigade who came to find Zongsheng after running for an afternoon. Oh, in short, this young master is safe, and Yamada Taro, not long after that, became a samurai, became a close confidant of Sokatsu, and later changed the name of the samurai, and was called 'Sagara Katsunaga', which is really soaring. ”

Oliver took a short break and took a sip of his drink, and the weird guy next to him asked, "Okay, Oliver, his family history is the same as the vulgar content." Let's pick the key points, such as how he became a sword master? Hmm, as a serf, he shouldn't have received martial arts instruction before, right? Also, listen to you, when he applied for the draft, he wasn't too young, right? ”

"No, you don't understand their national conditions, people at that time were generally precocious, and many boys got married at the age of fourteen." Oliver put down the empty can, "He was thirteen years old, fourteen years old, and he thought that when the battle was over, he would go home and get married." Hmm, don't talk about this, you don't like to hear it anyway~"

"Well, I'll just talk about his martial arts journey, he studied under the 'Xia Yan Ling Yi', and was recognized as a sword saint, known as the first in the world at that time. Although Taro Yamada had missed the best time to practice martial arts, his talent was there, and he soon became the strongest and most promising among the many apprentices. ”

"It's just that as my friend Li Feirou said, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are gains and losses. After he gained the approval of the Sword Master, when he returned home from the mountain, he found that the Shijo family had been completely annihilated due to internal and external troubles. The daimyo were slaughtered, and the territory under his jurisdiction was divided among the surrounding daimyos, while Taro Yamada's father was killed on the battlefield, and his mother disappeared into the raids of the enemy. From then on, he abandoned the samurai name given to him by the young lord Sokatsu and wandered around under his original name. ”

"He continued to challenge kendo halls all over the world, and his fame became more and more famous, and even Jiang Jun had the idea of letting him out, but he refused, and continued to refine his martial arts, well, among them, the more famous one was to defeat the four strongest apprentices under the same 'Xia Yan Ling Yi' Sword Saint, and finally tied with his master, and then inherited the title of the number one in the world."

Hilgei pushed down his glasses and asked, "Uh, that's it?" Oliver, what you're talking about doesn't mean much, well, he challenged so many people, there are no strong enemies or anything like that, for example, 300 rounds of battle, two days and two nights of hard fighting, and other anecdotes? ”

"That's right," Helenie was also a little disappointed, pouting, "Well, I thought he could split the building with one sword and cut down the mountain with a few swords!" ”

"You've watched a lot of Syris's martial arts, right? . ." Finally, it was Oliver's turn to complain: "What three hundred rounds!?" It's not filming, where can you cooperate so well! There are still two days and two nights, and that kind of high-intensity battle, I'm afraid it will be dozens of minutes at most, and no matter how long it is, it will be out of strength! In addition, if you demolish buildings and cut mountains, don't think about it, don't say anything else, wearing a heavy armor, it's not so easy to cut! ”

"Is there a more classic, or interesting duel? There's always this, right? Helenie blinked.

"Well, this... Oliver touched his chin and nodded, "There really is one!" Hmm, and it's quite famous~! ”

"Then let's talk about it!"

"Well, that competition was challenged by another well-known swordsman, 'Miyamoto Aki', in what is now Okura Island, well, in the past, it was changed to Ryumatsu Island." Oliver continued.

"Oooo I know~! Helenie suddenly shouted excitedly, "I've heard the name of another swordsman!" ”

"You've heard of it?" Oliver scratched his hair, a little puzzled, after all, Miyamoto was almost bound to Taro Yamada, and it was unlikely that he had heard of only one of them.

"Well, I've heard of it, it's said that Miyamoto's family is illustrious, and then he participated in several wars, never tasted defeat, and then worshiped under the door of a well-known swordsman, and he learned in advance, and then traveled all over the world, constantly challenged martial arts masters, and continued to win, and finally became a generation of masters." Helenie struggled to remember.

"Poof~~!! Helenie, who told you this~!? Oliver couldn't help laughing, patted the table, looked at the little girl with a confused face, and continued to ask: "Don't tell me, this is what the people from the Rising Sun II Country told you?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? My roommate at university is an international student from Shengyang Province, well, he was born on a small island called Nino Country. Helenie became more and more confused.

"That's no wonder," Oliver put away his smile and continued, "Actually, I don't blame them, after all, they are also victims." ”

"The 'Miyamoto Hide' you mentioned is also a native of Ni no Kuni. Well, he is also a local daimyo and the son of a lord who owns an island, and when he was sent to attack the main island of Shengyang, he failed because he underestimated the enemy. even relied on favor and led the troops many times, but every time it was a failure, and every time he escaped unharmed, he was once jokingly called the 'Hundred Battles and Hundred Victories' general. Well, in the future, the country of Nino, which has been unfavorable for many years, has declined in national strength, and their old enemies have formed an alliance. As a result, Ninokuni completely fell, and this guy fled to other places, changed his name to Fujiwara Hakuyoshi, and joined a sword sect called 'Yang Stream'. ”

"Uh, is that so..." Helenie looked disappointed, "Well, it doesn't look like he was very good before he became famous, hmm, but what about his martial arts?" Didn't he graduate early, and even created his own genre?! ”

"That's not to mention~" Oliver sighed, "It is said that when he was studying, he still couldn't change the style of the eldest young master, and he had a bad relationship with many disciples under the sect, and was finally expelled by the sect master." This guy simply forged the paperwork, fled to other places, falsely claimed to have passed the assessment, and even created an 'old yang stream' to facilitate him to defraud various financiers. Well, in order to increase his fame, he first bullied some small and weak Taoist temples. When his own school became bigger and stronger, he set out to deal with bigger and stronger Taoist temples. ”
