"So, is Sakurai Hondo Li Xiaosen or not?" Shi and Sha stared at Li Xiaoqian, who had already come to Li Xiaosen's side in the sword pool, "The one who has the most say on this issue is Xiaoqian herself." ”

If there were no deeds of Ah Bing and Ah Mu who disguised others, no one would have thought that the Sakurai Hondo in front of him had anything to do with Li Xiaosen, but everyone present was not stupid, on the contrary, the scene brought together the top and smartest people in the professional circle, as the saying goes, there are only three things, Li Xiaosen, who failed to confirm his death three years ago (especially if there was no body left), once again disguised himself as someone to participate in the kendo tournament The possibility of many people still thinking of it.

I saw Li Xiaoqian leaning over and pressing lightly on the chest of the "Sakurai Hondo".

The ordinary professionals present were still enthusiastically talking about the duel that had just passed, but the top players were quiet.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, in fact, Li Xiaoqian did stay by Li Xiaosen's side and check for two minutes for the sake of insurance.

And then...... She smiled.

Standing up and shaking her head, Li Xiaoqian smiled self-deprecatingly and said to herself, "After all, I think too much." ”

Some waved her hand with some interest, signaling that the Huaxia people could disperse, and then Li Xiaoqian turned around and left.

Could it be that Xiao Xiaoqian's abnormal movement does not really mean anything? But my brother will not lie to himself, and he will definitely not! Li Xiaoqian firmly believes this. But from the inside to the outside, there is no brother in that Sakurai Hondo, and Li Xiaoqian has confirmed it just now. So my brother hasn't returned, or is he actually back, but it's not Sakurai Hondo?

What Li Xiaoqian didn't notice was that after she turned around and left, Li Xiaosen, who was lying on the ground, opened his originally closed eyes slightly.

There was a hint of hesitation in his slightly open eyes, but he quickly returned to calm and firmness.

"It's not time yet. Li Xiaosen said in his heart.

If it weren't for the civil war three years ago, if he had recovered and returned, the Daywalker Alliance he saw would not have been as green and yellow as it is now, and if Ghost Sword, Grayson, Li Xingni, and Long Wu had all preserved their combat effectiveness well, Li Xiaosen would have identified himself as soon as he didn't say a word.

But now the older generation of powerhouses have withered, and although the younger generation has taken over the baton, in Li Xiaosen's eyes, the current Daywalker Alliance is still empty.

Not to mention the club that people care about very much, as well as Liu Changsheng, just talking about the nightcrawler who has not made any movement in the past three years is enough to make people feel very uneasy.

Li Xiaosen didn't believe that those nightcrawlers really hadn't done anything in three years!

Therefore, compared to "the combined forces of the friendly forces of the Daywalker Alliance when he stands up to show his identity and identifies with his sister", Li Xiaosen still chooses to "calm down, don't worry"!

Many decisions are not made until the end, in fact, it is not clear whether they are right or wrong, but at least for now, Li Xiaosen believes that this is the safest choice.

Seeing Li Xiaoqian leaving, all those who had doubts about Sakurai Hondo's identity dispelled their doubts in their hearts, it seems that this is really a genius in the Japanese professional circle who was born out of nowhere, not Li Xiaosen.

This is, of course, the situation that Li Xiaosen himself wants to see the most.

Once in the home world, Li Xiaosen was once a top latent soldier, and he knew very well: sometimes blindly pursuing too perfect hiding without flaws is better than revealing flaws and then dispelling the doubts of doubters.

But again, every decision, no one knows whether it is right or wrong until the end.

In the crowd that gradually dispersed, the young swordsman with a toned body and a feminine face who had been stared at by Tang Xin before was inconspicuous in the crowd.

He lowered his head slightly, conveying the message in a very covert way:

"It's confirmed, it's Li Xiaosen, it seems that he didn't die three years ago, and now he's back. ”

"But it's not a big deal, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it. ”

“...... Oh, of course you don't need to inform Liu Changsheng! Liu Changsheng is just a pawn of ours. ”

"So, follow the plan and get ready for action. ”

The battle of the top 16 will continue in the next few days until the top eight of this kendo tournament is decided.

On this day, Li Xiaosen squatted in the backyard of the dormitory at the foot of the snowy mountain, and sighed a little lonely.

"What's the sigh, Komori-kun, today is the big day for you to officially go to the Snow Mountain Sword Pavilion, be happy. Sakurai Shizuka cleaned up Li Xiaosen on the side, and said that Japanese women are not virtuous, at least in Sakurai Shizuka, it is true.

The showdown in the round of 16 is over, and the quarterfinals are about to begin.

The difference is that the quarterfinals will be moved to the Snow Mountain, and the Sword Pavilion, which is located on the Snow Mountain, is finally about to open its doors to Li Xiaosen.

It is indeed something to be happy about, but Li Xiaosen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when he thought about the duel between Tang Qin and Wang Hao that he just watched yesterday.

First of all, Wang Hao won, which is naturally good news for Li Xiaosen, who is also a person from Huaxia Mountain Gate.

Secondly, Li Xiaosen was fortunate to see the power of the Tai Chi Sword, and also saw how terrifying the Heart Sword Technique was in Tang Qin's hands. Facts have proved that the Heart Sword Technique and the Tai Chi Sword are both the strongest swordsmanship that are not inferior to the court swordsmanship.

As a bystander, Li Xiaosen didn't have a deep understanding of the heart swordsmanship, and there were still many parts he didn't understand.

But for the Tai Chi Sword, Li Xiaosen had to say that he was amazed.

The scene from that duel comes to mind—

Wang Hao was dressed in a white Taoist robe, holding a peachwood sword that was very common in the Daomen, the sword was arc-shaped, and the sword was also arc-shaped, and it was completely impossible to see whether it was offensive or defensive. Tai Chi Sword is actually a kind of swordsmanship that blurs the boundary between offense and defense.

Every time the sword is drawn and then the sword is retracted, the trajectory is a circle, either vertical or horizontal, long or flat.

All the rings left by the sword qi were condensed, but gradually evolved into a Tai Chi composed of yin and yang fish.

The large and small Taiji diagrams, with Wang Hao as the center, were finally built into a huge sword array, and only after the two sides fought for a full hour, Tang Qin, whose strength was not inferior to Catherina, was completely crushed!

So yes, the Taiji Sword among the four strongest swordsmanship is actually an ability to "turn swords into arrays", which is also in line with the characteristics of Daomen. After all, the world's research on formations is indeed the most Huaxia Daomen.

"Wang Hao, a newcomer, can win Tang Qin on behalf of Huaxia, which is naturally a good thing. He gave me a chance to observe the Tai Chi Sword, and I have to thank him. Li Xiaosen muttered, "But I'm still sad, I'm still melancholy!"

After the duel ended, Li Xiaosen watched his sister and Wang Hao leave side by side, and even saw some people who were obviously suitors and admirers of his sister.

That Wang Hao is like the flower messenger of his sister now!

"Alas, I can understand a little now what the feelings of those fathers who send their daughters to marry. Li Xiaosen sighed, the bottleneck in his cultivation had never made him so distressed, "Lan Thin...... Shiitake mushrooms!"

is even a little annoyed, Xiaoqian, this girl, is she stupid, why can't her brother recognize her face to face?

I don't think it's one thing if you don't want to recognize it, but it's another thing if you can recognize it, old girl!

"That Wang Hao of your Huaxia is very handsome. "Sakurai Shizuka, which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

"Handsome fart, stinky boy......" Li Xiaosen snorted.

"Oh, don't be jealous. Sakurai Shizuka seemed to see through Li Xiaosen's thoughts, and her eyes bent into a cute crescent shape, "Xiaomori-kun doesn't have to worry about Xiaoqian's early love, Wang Hao is not Xiaoqian's suitor." ”

"Hey, how do you know?" Li Xiaosen's eyes widened.

Xiaoqian She mentioned it to me, in fact, Xiaoqian originally thought that Wang Hao was interesting to her, and she was worried about how to refuse, but she found out later...... Haha, forget it, when you go back to Huaxia and recognize Xiaoqian, you can ask her yourself then. Shizuka Sakurai covered her mouth and stole fun, as if she had thought of something particularly funny.

"Hey, it's really unkind for you to say half of that. Hey!"

A package that is not big or small, but it can be clearly seen that it is very attentive, was stuffed into Li Xiaosen's hand.

There is a change of clothes prepared for him by Shizuka Sakurai, home-style bento, some special souvenirs in the business district, and small gifts for the Li Xiaosen brothers and sisters.

Li Xiaosen sighed and looked into the girl's eyes: "Really don't go up the snow mountain with me and go to the sword hall?"

"Nope. The girl shook her head gently, but her attitude was very resolute, "I can return to the family, and I am still valued so much by the head of Guixiang, I am already very grateful to Komori-kun." And I know that the next step should be the start of the real battle, and maybe some bad guys hiding in the shadows will also emerge one after another, and I don't want to cause trouble for Komori-kun. Back in my family, back in my professional circle, I'm satisfied. Going further on, it's not the path I can take now. ”

Li Xiaosen hummed and stopped pressing. Although the days of getting along are not long, Li Xiaosen understands that the seemingly docile Japanese girl in front of her is actually a girl with a very good idea, and she knows very well what she wants and what she doesn't want.

"Then there will be a period later. ”

"There will be a period later. ”

It is a simple four words, and sometimes it is just talking, which may not be true, and only represents the wishes of both parties who say goodbye. is like Tanasha who met in North America three years ago and spent some days together, in fact, Li Xiaosen has never seen each other again in his life, of course, it is not that the other party has an accident, but that the other party wants to start a new life, and just hopes to put the intersection with Li Xiaosen quietly in his heart. This world is like this, some girls, they have always been nearby, just like Qianqian, who has not seen him for three years, although he did not come to Japan this time, Li Xiaosen can still capture information about Qianqian from the chatter of the members of the Chinese team. And some girls are drifting away from each other, like the wind chimes that shot at themselves three years ago. Or maybe it's like a rose, the rose in her memory is still the girl who is like a snow elf in the wind and snow in the main academy, and now, she has been dead in battle for three years. This is growth, each has its own life trajectory, and the person who thought they would see each other again suddenly found that one day there was no chance. I thought I wouldn't see each other again, such as Hinata Miki, Li Xiaosen saw it from a distance two days ago, but he didn't see Hinata Miki's sister, Hinata Miyuki, and I don't know where the other party is now and how it is.

In this way, Li Xiaosen, as the top eight players of the kendo conference, officially climbed the snow mountain and visited the sword hall.

The teams of each mountain gate visited the Sword Hall together under the personal leadership of Tang Xin, so naturally, Li Xiaosen saw his sister again, the distance between the two sides was less than five meters, Li Xiaoqian nodded to Li Xiaosen very politely, Li Xiaosen politely returned the salute, and then couldn't help but complain about "silly girl" in his heart. But who can be blamed, in fact, you have to blame yourself, there is no way, your ability to disguise and deceive is really high! Thinking about it this way, I am a little comforted, it seems that those unbearable experiences in my hometown are not completely negative, and they still have a positive effect on the present. Life is probably like this, whether it is sunshine or shadow, it is a part of life, and it is your own life.

But after really coming to the Sword Pavilion, Li Xiaosen was a little surprised-

First of all, the Sword Pavilion is the center of this hundreds of miles of business district, and when you actually stand here, you will find that it is actually quite simple here.

Secondly, I don't know why Li Xiaosen always feels that the architectural style of this sword hall, or the atmosphere, has a hint of Buddhist temple?

“...... Oh, I see, the original founder of the Japanese Sword Museum was actually a group of Japanese students who returned from the ancient Chinese and Tang dynasties?" Haiyang was not far away, talking to Seli, with a look of surprise, "Those founders brought back not only Tang swords, but also Buddhism, which was very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty at that time? Haha, this is quite interesting." It is said that the leaders of the previous generations in charge of the Sword Pavilion are all surnamed Tang, is it also related to the Tang Dynasty, you see that the eight major families are all obvious to the situation in Japan, but the owner of the Sword Pavilion is surnamed Tang ......"

"I don't know about this, Her Royal Highness the princess has the opportunity to ask Tang Xin directly. ”

Li Xiaosen silently listened to the conversation between Haiyang and Seli in his ears, thoughtful.

Then Li Xiaosen felt it privately, and looked in a certain direction - the Sword Pavilion was actually just an ancient wooden building complex built against the mountain, which did not occupy a large area, and in various places in the Great Snow Mountain, there were more seemingly inconspicuous places, but in fact, there were many more people- The quarterfinals are not just the quarterfinals of the kendo conference, but also mean that the enemies hidden in the shadows may be in trouble at any time, so in addition to the major mountain gate teams, more elite troops of the Daywalker Alliance have actually quietly come to the Great Snow Mountain and are stationed, including Chinese, North American, Nordic, and of course, a large number of Japanese swordsmen as hosts.

After three years, Li Xiaosen once again clearly smelled the smell of war.

It's night.

Li Xiaosen was shirtless, half-squinting his eyes, soaking in the open-air hot spring pool, relaxing his mind.

After the duel with Catherina that day, Li Xiaosen began to study the third most important component of the Orange Flame Ghost in addition to "Walking Chop" and "Knife Embryo Grimace": Flame.
