Yedu Yamato Street is intricate, like a city within a city, without the help of navigation software, Jiang Mubai almost got lost in this small city belonging to the Yamato people.

Fortunately, Chinese has been popularized as the lingua franca of the second domain for many years, and it took him half a day to finally find the address given by Shangquan Yanmu on the phone.

Unexpectedly, this is a ramen restaurant.

What he didn't expect was that after the ramen chef lifted the curtain, the two brothers of the Kamiizumi family walked out of the dark hole that appeared and disappeared somewhere.

Thinking that this is the Fifth Realm Grandmaster's supernatural power, it is likely to be related to the inner heaven and earth of the Glow Flow Sword Saint Pill Gaze Division, as for what kind of supernatural power it is, and what is the principle? Jiang Mubai muttered in his heart, we don't know, and we don't dare to ask.

"Forgive me for the disappointment."

Shangquan Yanmu hugged his fist with martial arts etiquette, while Shangquan Keita put his hands on both sides of his thighs and bowed forty-five degrees to Jiang Mubai.

This is the most respectful of the Yamato clan, and the ramen chef only bowed thirty degrees when he greeted the guests, and Keita Kamiizumi obviously thanked Jiang Mubai for his brother.

A few days ago, Jiang Mubai made up a sword for the forty-nine swords Nangui Yan at the Yanwulou Sword Meeting, Shangquan Yanmu was inspired, and specially sent an invitation to express his gratitude, it is said that he should come to the door in person, or send a special person to pick him up, but he only left an address on the phone.

This seems to be impolite, but it is actually for Jiang Mubai's consideration.

There are some doorways here, and the roots have to start from the business competition between Zangjian Island and Xijian Pavilion.

It is rumored that Chu Yanshen of the Begonia Sword Sect had a complicated relationship with Mr. Lu Shi'an, the Tibetan sword, and later the two parted ways due to disagreement.

In recent years, the various products produced in Zangjian Island have gradually entered the second domain market, which has had a lot of impact on the branches of the Washing Sword Pavilion in various places, and inevitably aroused the disgust of the factions of the Washing Sword Pavilion.

The Liu family is a family of sword casting in Yedu, and has a close relationship with the Washing Sword Pavilion, while Shangquan Yanmu is a close disciple of Mr. Tibetan Sword, and the relationship between the two sides is the same.

Because of this, Liu Ru sneered at Keita Shangquan when he took the stage to challenge Liu Shengyuan.

A disciple of the small martial arts hall in the border city, if he was inexplicably involved in the struggle between the two groups, it would be a little troublesome, considering that Jiang Mubai and Liu Shengyuan had a little friendship, Shangquan Yanmu did not put on a posture to thank him, so as not to make him in a dilemma.

"Where is it, why should the predecessors welcome it far away? These days, I have repeatedly practiced the forty-nine swords, and I have learned a lot and benefited a lot, and I should have come to thank me. ”

Jiang Mubai returned the salute with a smile, saying that he came to the door to thank him, but he was empty-handed, and it was clear that he was here to receive benefits.

Kamiizumi smiled, beckoned to the ramen chef, and then sat down at the bar and poured three glasses of sake.

Keita Kamiizumi picked up the sake cup and said, "Chiyo-san's craftsmanship is a must, and you can only taste such a delicacy in Yamato Street." ”

Jiang Mubai glanced at him with a smile, and stopped talking.

In fact, Chiyo and ramen are both imported products from China in the Thousand Islands, but now that the Thousand Islands and China no longer exist, there is no need to make a clear distinction.

Half an hour later, the ramen chef presents three steaming bowls of tonkotsu ramen.

Barbecued pork, dried bamboo shoots, shallots and seaweed are lined up in a thick white soup and strong noodles in an appetizing circle, with half a soft-boiled egg lying in the center of the circle, the egg white is tender, the yolk is like amber beeswax, soft and clear, and there is a dense creamy texture after the mouth, with the fat but not greasy barbecued pork and the rich and fragrant pork bone soup, the wonderful taste seems to rush from the tip of the tongue into the heart.

Jiang Mubai praised and gulped down with the bold attitude of a martial artist.

Keita Kamiizumi was not to be left behind, as if he was using the chopsticks in his hand as a weapon for competition, and after a while, he piled up more than a dozen empty bowls in front of him.

After a full meal, Shangquan Yanmu straightforwardly handed out a brocade box and said, "This is the Guizang Sword Pill refined by the master himself, and it can be used repeatedly after refining it with sword intent." ”

"This ......" Jiang Mubai lowered his eyelids and hid his hesitation.

Sword pills that can be used repeatedly are tantamount to magic weapons, and their value is incalculable.

The Miaozang Sword Pill obtained from Liu Ru's hand is just a one-time consumable, and the market price is as high as one million, so how much can this Guizang Sword Pill be worth?

At least you can change to a luxury airship, right?

Even if it is passed down by the grandmaster himself, this hand is too big, and such a valuable thank you gift, I am afraid that it will be hot to accept it.

Seeing that he neither stretched out his hand nor refused, Shangquan Yanmu put the brocade box on the bar counter and said with a smile: "The teacher asked me to ask a word for him." ”

Jiang Mubai knew that he was now famous, but he didn't expect to be able to attract the attention of the grandmaster, with a little stunned, he put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand and responded respectfully: "Excuse me." ”

Shangquan Yanmu snatched his younger brother's chopsticks with his hand, signaled him to listen carefully with his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Mubai and asked word by word, "What is sword intent?" ”

"The true meaning of kendo is sword intent." Jiang Mubai blurted out.

Shangquan Yanmu shook his head and asked again, "What is the sword intent?" ”

What is Sword Intent?

Jiang Mubai frowned and pondered, he had thought about this question many times, but he had no clue.

Different from the muscles and muscles and magic weapon talismans, sword intent is not a transformation of energy, it is a kind of artistic conception, a kind of belief, an illusory concept that should not be seen or touched.

But he did see the green lotus blooming at the feet of the young Yingyuan, and he also saw the gray goose hovering beside the wild goose in Shangquan, which was a vision that he couldn't understand or even imagine.

At first, he guessed that the so-called sword intent transformation was to use sword moves to make the viewer hallucinate and see illusions, but this idea was obviously wrong.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Mubai replied truthfully: "I don't know." ”

"Where's your sword?" Kamiizumi asked a very strange question.

Jiang Mubai glanced at the Moyang Sword on the side of the high chair and replied, "The sword is in the sheath." ”

"Where is your sword intent?" Kamizumi Yanmu asked again.

Where is the sword intent?

On the soles of the feet?

On top of your head?

In mind?

In the mind?

Between swords and swords?

A little flash of inspiration appeared in the sea of knowledge, illuminating the blind spot that was unobservable to the naked eye, Jiang Mubai suddenly brightened up, and exclaimed: "Sword intent is an unrealistic breath." ”

Keita Kamiizumi heard this, and turned his head to look at his brother, but he saw doubt in his brother's eyes.

"Outside the muscles and bones, inside the breath, the muscles and bones are the visible body, the spiritual qi is the invisible qi, the practice of the tangible body, out of the invisible qi, the literati pen and book are upright, the martial arts are full of pride, the sword is my lip and tongue, and the sword intent is my voice."

The more Jiang Mubai spoke, the more excited he became, and the little aura in the sea of knowledge became brighter and brighter.

The visible body condenses the invisible qi, and the invisible qi casts the tangible body, the sword qi quenching body in the "Tianyuan Sword Codex" turns out to be this meaning!

Regardless of the reaction of the Kamizumi brothers, who were looking at each other, he clasped his hands into fists and cheered to be taught, then picked up the Moyang sword in his left hand, took the brocade box into his arms with his right hand, and rushed out of the ramen restaurant without looking back.

Keita Kamizumi was stunned for a long time and asked, "Brother, is he right?" ”

Shangquan Yanmu pondered again and again, and finally let out a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
