Chapter 60: History
On the shiny teak floor, more than a dozen old people sat in turn, regardless of generation, depending on who died late and who sat first on the left-hand side.
The old people wore kimonos, some of which were wide and orthodox, and some of which were like samurai uniforms, and their hair was not tied into a samurai head because it was too ugly.
These old men were all the sect masters of their respective schools during their lifetimes, and during their reign, the schools were not only very powerful, but also had tens of thousands of disciples. But time is very ruthless, when they all die one by one, after a few generations of descendants, the genre gradually declines because there is no strong sect master in charge. In the end, they formed an alliance of kendo schools, and they barely managed to keep their family's inheritance.
When the Messianic Sect gradually became stronger, they began to focus on their inheritance, and sent their own people to join the school to learn swordsmanship.
But the people sent by the Holy See are really wastes with no skills, and they blew up their families when they couldn't last three months during the training period, saying that they were the young masters of some big family, and there were several dukes and uncles in the family who loved him! How dare you do this to me?
The old people all shook their heads and sighed, this is waste, people love you for your future, you can take over the family, your dukes and uncles love you, just like you, I am afraid that you will be left out by the family in the future.
In fact, it is estimated that the Holy See does not want to send these shameful wastes, but there are always those who want to put gold on their spoiled children, and they don't think about learning anything at all.
The old people are very happy to have such a waste, so that they will not even spread the basic sword skills, summon the steward to negotiate with the child, and say that you have to act as if nothing has happened, so that even if you don't learn anything in the future and don't participate, the alliance will give you a graduation certificate, and the comments must be full of good words!
These old people are also chicken thieves, relying on this method to fool several young masters of the family, this flicker is several years, after sending them back, the contemporary pope directly met with them, wanting to see what they have learned, and want to see if Yamato kendo is really powerful.
The eldest young masters were stunned, they didn't think that this matter was so big, even the Pope had waited for them for several years, but the family didn't just say that they would go there for a few years, and when you came back, you would have a halo on you, and it would be more convenient to inherit the family in the future. When he looked back at his father, his face was as white as a dead man.
The eldest young masters have been really mixed up in the past few years, they haven't learned anything, and they can't even use the shadow of basic sword drawing skills. Don't be cheeky at the moment and say that the kendo school alliance doesn't want to teach them, and deliberately snubs them every time they go to class. Said a bunch of them.
The Pope is not stupid, and if you think about the family behind them, you can see what these shitty people have been doing for years. I secretly regret that I should have recalled them every year to see the process, and now it has been delayed for years in vain.
The old people didn't know where they knew about it, and they were almost rolling on the ground with joy.
The old people didn't look impatient, they closed their eyes slightly as if they were recuperating, in fact, they were already engaged in a very intense exchange in the data, discussing whether it was possible for a person to learn all the schools of sword skills.
Miyamoto Masakawa walked to the door, pushed open the door with an expressionless face, and scolded angrily in the channel, "This is my first-class disciple for two days!" You don't give me the idea to beat him! ”
Jiang Muyin entered this special sword room under the leadership of Miyamoto Masakawa, and looked at the dozen or so kendo masters who represented previous eras, and couldn't help but be in awe.
"Disciple Jiang Muyin, I have seen all the seniors." Jiang Muyin saluted.
The old people didn't expect him to be so polite, you must know that they didn't do this in their time, and they looked at each other.
Jiang Muyin suddenly beat a little drum in his heart, and said in his heart that I didn't do the wrong salute.
Miyamoto Masakawa pulled Jiang Muyin to sit down, "Don't worry about them." ”
Jiang Muyin hesitated slightly, but he still sat down, and more than a dozen old men looked at him with admiring glances in their eyes.
"Heart-shaped knife flow, Uesugi Mu." The old man in the kimono nodded at him.
"Natural rational flow, Okita chooses." The old man said.
"Beichen is a knife stream, Ida Nagano."
"Mirror Heart Wise Flow, Yanagi North."
"Yuanming is first-class, Miyamoto Jinshui." The man smiled, "Masakawa is my eldest brother. ”
More than a dozen old people reported their surnames to the genre they belonged to, and many of them were swordsmen of the same genre, and they regretted that they were not born in the same era.
"Two days first-class, Miyamoto Masakawa." Miyamoto Masakawa finally introduced, "They really wanted to meet you, so I brought you here." ”
"Actually, I'd like to talk to you seniors." Jiang Mu smiled shyly.
The old people looked at each other, they were very excited, they had not done this kind of thing for a long time to be asked by excellent juniors, in the past, they only needed to say a little, they could make the juniors shocked, and deeply felt the gap between themselves and their predecessors, but in fact, they just combined what the juniors wanted to know into a little bit to say.
Masakawa Miyamoto suppressed his old friends, saying, "He doesn't know history yet, so he has to talk about this first, otherwise it doesn't make sense for you to say so much." ”
"History?" Jiang Muyin is a little unclear, so he also knows a lot about the history of swordsmanship, including the history of sword casting.
"The history of our kendo school alliance, in the past, we were actually an alliance of underworld families, and we respected the eight families. People in the family are born warriors from birth, and we classify them as excellent bloodlines. Miyamoto Masakawa slowly spoke about this history that no one knew because it was too long.
"The Sopranos?" Jiang Muyin noticed the core.
"The era when the family alliance was established was not as developed as it is now, it was still the era of cold weapons, and it was an era when a sword could break through the world. I think you should have guessed what the year was, it was the eighteenth century, and at that time, human beings did not have vehicles, and they either rode horses or carriages, which were very far away. Miyamoto Masakawa said, "Actually, I don't know much about it, but when my father told me, I can roughly imagine that era." ”
"The so-called underworld was actually just a rebellion group formed by some poor people at the beginning, and at that time it was just a lowly profession that could only rely on violence to eat." Masakawa Miyamoto opened the image and projected several tattoo pictures, with evil ghosts, tigers, women, and flowers, "These are tattoos, the signs of the underworld at the beginning." The Eight Families were also aristocratic families in the beginning, and they were in charge of many industries, such as kabuki, fishing, pimping, weapon reselling, and everything. But the eight families gradually declined, and the serious industry no longer allowed them, so they could only enter the underworld in order to survive, and quickly occupied a very important position. ”
Miyamoto Masakawa seemed to have opened the conversation, Jiang Muyin listened silently, these are the parts that have been erased in history, or the parts that have been lost, and in general they are very precious. The old man recounted the deeds of nearly 3,000 years ago, and from his words he depicted the era when the sword spoke.
