During the Warring States period, there were many swordsmen, and most of these masters traveled to various parts of Japan to practice.

It was normal for martial artists to compete with each other and teach martial arts in that era.

Katori Shinto-ryu's sword saint Tsukahara Bu Ling has taught many people martial arts, and there have been several swordsmen among his disciples, and even the sword saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna of the new Yin Stream has also been instructed by him.

At that time, there were many schools, and everyone wanted to carry forward their own schools, so when they met good seedlings, swordsmen were still very willing to teach their secret skills.

Yoshioka-ryu is not as good as Katori-Shinto-ryu, Shin-yin-ryu, Ito Ichito-ryu and other big schools, and a young master like Ryutao is something that Yoshioka-ryu has never seen before, and his future achievements in kendo must be extraordinary, and if such a person bears Yoshioka-ryu's permission stamp, it will definitely be of great help to Yoshioka-ryu's development.

Therefore, Yoshioka was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Long Tao was willing to learn his secret skills.

Learning the secret technique also requires entering the Secret Room, which takes a day.

In the secret room, Yoshioka Constitution and Long Tao sat cross-legged on their knees.

"I heard that there is a secret technique in the Yoshioka stream, called Kasumi, as long as the person who is hit by this trick will be temporarily unable to move, which is quite magical, so I came to ask the teacher to teach it!"

Yoshioka Constitution smiled bitterly, "Why should Ashikaga-sama be too humble, you are simply sarcastic when you say this, and I used Kasumi's trick on you just now, but it has no effect at all, and you are not affected at all, alas...... Today, I know that there is a heaven outside the sky! ”

"Huh? Has the teacher teacher already used it? ”

Long Tao was startled, recalling the situation at that time, could it be the knife that made him breathe just now?

When Yoshioka Constitution used that sword, a bright red flashed on the blade, it should be caused by the change of sword qi, could it be that move is Kasumi? It doesn't look like that's it.

"This kind of secret technique, the focus is on the method of using sword qi, which can be attached to any sword." Yoshioka sighed, "The last knife I used to fight with Your Excellency just now was attached to the Kasumi Secret Technique, and I was happy when I saw Your Excellency blocking the horizontal knife, because this kind of secret technique is generally avoided by dodging, as long as it is contacted, it is inevitable that it will be entered by the sword qi and restrict the movement, I didn't expect Your Excellency to be able to use the secret technique of the sword to open up, it is really eye-opening!" ”

Long Tao asked sincerely: "I don't understand how to use sword qi to restrict the opponent's actions, and I ask the teacher to give me advice." ”

"Naturally, it restricts the opponent's movement by sealing his body." Yoshioka smiled slightly, "This kind of immobilization technique, to put it bluntly, is actually very simple, it is to let the sword qi invade the opponent's body, disrupt or even cut off the opponent's energy operation, and naturally make him temporarily unable to move." ”

Cut off the other person's energy?

Use the sword qi transformed by qi to cut off the opponent's energy operation? Isn't all energy stored in the middle of the chest, how can it "work"?

Long Tao was confused for a moment.

Yoshioka began to explain the details of Kasumi's move: how to condense the sword qi, how to disperse the sword qi into the opponent's body after hitting the opponent, and how to integrate some energy into the sword qi to achieve the purpose of disrupting or cutting off the opponent's energy after entering the body.

Long Tao listened quietly, and while his brain quickly remembered, a big mystery was also tumbling in it.

From Yoshioka's explanation of the constitution, it can be seen that the energy in the human body is constantly running, and, according to him, the way it runs is very similar to the true qi in the martial arts world, and it is also a walk all over the body of the large and small meridians, even more complex than the true qi, which can run to extremely subtle meridians.

However, the energy in Long Tao's body has always been stored in his chest!

There must be something wrong with this.

Finally, after Yoshioka's constitution was explained, Long Tao couldn't help but ask: "Yoshioka teacher, please forgive me for being stupid, as far as I know, the sword qi is transformed by qi, why does it target the energy of the human body after attacking the human body, not the strength of the opponent?" ”

Yoshioka was stunned and replied casually: "If you want to restrict the other party's actions, you naturally have to target his energy, energy is the foundation of the physical body, doesn't Mr. Ashikaga even know this?" ”

Long Tao smiled ashamedly, "I really don't know much about the three forces of essence, qi, and spirit, and I still ask the teacher for advice." ”

"Huh?" Yoshioka was shocked, "Then how did Mr. Ashikaga cultivate this amazing sword qi?" ”

"I don't know if I'm down, I've just practiced my sword technique for a few years."

Yoshioka Constitution sighed: "It seems that Your Excellency is a gifted person, no wonder the force is so high, but the brand is so strange!" ”

"Hehe, let Fan Jian smile." Long Tao smiled on his face, and scolded in his heart, why don't you hurry up and get down to business!

Yoshioka Constitution pondered for a long time before he said leisurely: "The three forces in this world, divine power, strength, and energy, actually correspond to heaven, earth, and man. ”

"Divine power is given by God, some people are born to be commanders, and some people are born to be experts in government affairs...... They are all talented and intelligent people, born with sufficient divine power, which others cannot envy, this is the divine power, this kind of power, no one can cultivate it on their own. ”

"Qi power exists between heaven and earth and all things, it is like the earth, it can be taken by anyone, as long as you work hard enough and practice the Fa, you will always feel it, however, the use of qi also varies from person to person, ordinary people can only use a little unintentionally, increase a little strength, and close to nature, good at meditation kendo masters, but can use the strength of the superb, exert extremely amazing combat power."

"Energy is born with life, is the foundation of the body, anyone's body has energy in the non-stop operation, it acts on every action of the body, every reaction, if the energy operation is disturbed, the body will naturally have a condition. There are also ways to practice and use energy, and it is said that they are all strange ways to hone the body, and they are spread among ninjas. Everyone's energy runs similarly, following the meridian acupuncture points in the Ming Dynasty medicine, so those of us who use the sword can mix energy into the qi and send it out as sword qi to achieve the purpose of restricting the opponent's body movements. ”

"Among these three powers, only energy is born with energy, so it corresponds to the foundation of people, even if we are in the way of the sword to cultivate qi, we must follow the running route of energy."

"I see."

Long Tao suddenly realized, it seems that the people in this plot world, although they are also flesh and blood, their bodies are still slightly different.

The main problem is that the energy of heaven and earth in this world is different, and I feel that the combination of strength and energy is very similar to the true qi of the martial arts world, but the energy can be cultivated alone, and the profession of ninja specializing in this way has also been formed, which is very different.

"Yoshioka Teacher, to be honest, I am not affected by your Xiaxia, not because I used my sword qi to prevent it, but because the energy in my lower body did not run along the meridians at all, but stayed in the chest position."

Seeing that Yoshioka had taught him so much, Long Tao decided to explain it to him, comfort and comfort him, and don't lose confidence in his secret skills.

"What!" Yoshioka was shocked, "Mr. Ashikaga, could you please take a look at your vein?" ”

"Please." Long Tao smiled slightly and stretched out his right hand.

Yoshioka grabbed his wrist and sent a force to investigate, and after a while, exclaimed, "That's true! Mr. Ashikaga, you are truly a gifted man! If you hadn't seen your name tag, you would have thought you were a ninja master! ”

"Master Ninja?"

"Oh, it's those quite powerful high-level ninjas, ninjas mainly cultivate energy, it is said that when they practice to a high depth, they can control their energy and no longer operate, once such a person is lurking, it is impossible for others to detect his existence."

"Oh, that's amazing."

Long Tao thought to himself, it seems that it is time to learn ninjutsu.
