At half past five in the afternoon, the special train of Sichuan Bird arrived in Yingxian.

Add water, coal, and inspect train equipment.

The most important thing is to add a locomotive here, because there is a lot of uphill section behind, and with the horsepower of a train in this era, it would be difficult to pull with a locomotive, and this series is estimated to take at least an hour of maintenance work.

Kawatori had nothing to do, so he called Yajiro Yagyu to get off the car and prepare to practice his swordsmanship on the platform.

Put on the protective gear and take the bamboo sword, and the two of them came to the platform.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the platform, adding a mysterious light and shadow to the platform.

Yajiro was in the backlit position, facing the sun, his head down, squinting slightly, and staring at the Kawatori on the opposite side with the corner of his eye.

Install the latest version. 】

In fact, he could choose not to face the sun, but after his brother was hacked to death by Xu San, he became the new first heir to the Yanagi family.

But whenever he thinks back to Xu San's shocking knife that day, he can't help but feel frightened, and feels that he is not qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family.

However, it is not up to him to decide whether to inherit or not.

In his generation, he and his brother have the best talent, and among their brothers, Yataro's talent is much higher than him.

In the past, there was an elder brother in front of him, but he didn't want to forge ahead, and he had to get by.

And now that his brother is dead, the burden of bearing the honor of the Yanagi family falls on his shoulders.

So in this practice with Kawatori, he put himself in adversity, because he knew that only in adversity can he grow.

If he doesn't hurry up and grow, then he will feel that he can't afford to be the head of the family.

He didn't use the double sword, but still the upper section style he was familiar with, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and holding the bamboo sword high above his head.

But unlike usual, this time the distance between his feet was a little smaller than his usual one.

This was what he had learned from Xu San's sword drawing technique that day, and he felt that the spacing between his two feet was now more conducive to penetration.

Although he hadn't verified it, at least he felt so.

The Sichuan bird on the opposite side is also ready now, and it is also the upper section.

He also moved forward little by little with his knife in his hand.

Although Kawatori's sword skills are not very good, due to long-term training with masters, his eyesight and intuition are still very high.

The Yanagi brothers have been guiding him for several years, and it can be said that he is the most familiar kendo master, and it is precisely because of familiarity that he is keenly aware that today's Yajiro is also a familiar upper style, but it seems to be more threatening than usual.

"Yajiro-sensei, you seem to be in better shape today than usual?"

"Watching my brother's duel that night made me realize a little bit of insight."

"Oh, then I'm going to be careful!" After Kawani finished speaking, he wanted to come forward again.

Yajiro didn't move, he was still watching Kawatori, he planned to come first, which was also a necessary courtesy for his students as a teacher.

If he is allowed to attack first, Kawaniao generally can't hold three moves.

After a few more steps, Kawatori felt that the distance was enough, and he only needed to think about one step ahead to attack Yajiro, so he let out a loud shout, and wanted to take this step forward and hit Yajiro on the head.

It's a very ordinary blow, but the key to this blow is fast, and the upper head hit can be regarded as a commonly used killing move in Dongying Kendo, but the details of each sect are different.

"Smack!"

"Noodles!" Sakurai, the adjutant who served as the referee, immediately shouted loudly.

Kawatori took a step back, "Come again!" ”

Kawatori was a little frightened, Yajiro used the same trick as him just now, but Yajiro did come first, much faster than him.

Staring at Yajiro's sword and remembering the sword just now, it felt faster than before, but he was stupid and couldn't understand the key.

So, after being hit five times in a row with the same trick, he finally shouted to stop.

"Yajiro-sensei, I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel like your sword is faster than before."

Yajiro put away the bamboo knife, turned his head to look at the adjutant Sakurai and asked, "What do you think of Sakurai-kun!" ”

"I can't see it when I look down!" Sakurai bows his head and returns!

"Then General Kawatori really thinks my knife is fast?"

Kawaniao closed his eyes and recalled, and then said: "It's really fast, I've been practicing with the teacher for many years, and this can still be seen." ”

Raising his sword again, Yajiro said seriously: "Then I'm asking General Kawatori to take a good look, and I just need to verify something." ”

"Okay, then please don't show mercy to Mr. Yajiro!" Kawatori said and bowed slightly to Yajiro.

The same move, the same face, the difference is that this time the speed is faster and the blow is stronger.

The huge impact shook the neck of the Sichuan bird.

Taking off his mask, Kawatori shook his neck and said, "Mr. Yajiro, this time I can be sure that your sword is faster and stronger than before." Congratulations to the teacher, I have a new understanding in kendo. ”

Yajiro put away the sword again, exhaled a breath, and said in a surging voice: "Actually, it's not that my sword is faster, but my body is faster than before, and the speed of my sword has not changed." ”

Kawatori recalled Yajiro's actions just now, but he felt that it was still the same as usual, but he was obsessed with kendo, so he immediately bowed his head and asked Yajiro for advice: "Please teach me, teacher!" ”

"I'm waiting for a few days, I haven't absorbed the insights this time." As he spoke, he put the bamboo sword on the ground, and then picked up his saber, "I want to practice for a while by myself, General Kawatori, please take care of yourself." ”

"Hey! Yajiro-sensei, please feel free. Kawatori was not angry at Yajiro's neglect, but he was still a little excited at the moment, because he knew that as long as Yajiro absorbed all his feelings, then he would definitely teach him all of them.

Feeling that he had a rushing Kawatori, he immediately asked his adjutant Sakurai to change his protective gear and compare himself with him.

Sakurai is a member of the water supply force, and he is also a secretary-class civil official, so it's okay to be a referee, but when it comes to sparring, it's purely a punching bag.

Fortunately, he has protective gear, so he won't be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, anyway, he has been used to it for so many years.

So, in the light of the setting sun, Sakurai began his half-hour sandbag tour.

Yajiro on the side was exceptionally quiet, he sat cross-legged on the ground, facing the sunset, put his love knife on his lap, closed his eyes and meditated, recalling every detail of the duel between Xu San and his brother that day.

He didn't see how Xu San came out of the knife, and he didn't even see Xu San's figure.

However, he could see Xu San's posture before he took out the sword, and now that he thought about it, he felt that Xu San's swordsmanship was unfathomable, worthy of the title of the great swordsman, and his sister did not lose at all when he gave it to her.

Xu San's sword drawing technique belongs to the lower stage of the Dongying swordsmanship, and it stands to reason that there should not be much reference value for Yajiro's upper skills, but Yajiro can use it in his own swordsmanship through his talent and experience, which shows that he is indeed a great kendo genius.

And Xu San is not the great swordsman in Yajiro's imagination, because the moment he holds the hilt of the sword and wants to launch the skill, his body will not obey the call, and it will not be until the knife is confirmed that he can regain control of the body.
