Chapter 8: Autumn Leaves

Momijiyama is a nearby tourist attraction, and it is often visited by nobles, wealthy merchants, and even commoners living nearby.

When the full of red leaves blooms in the mountains, as the mountain breeze blows, the red leaves in the whole mountain sway, and the distance looks like a fire, and it seems that the gorgeous sunset falls on the earth, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

However, it is now the winter of December, and the maple trees are withering all over the mountain, and even a few yellow leaves are hanging weakly on the tips, lest they be blown off by the merciless winter wind.

Under the guidance of the helpers, Su Yuan found several cabins in the mountains.

This wooden house is not considered luxurious, only similar to the stove house.

In front of the wooden house, Su Yuan saw Takiwara Kiyomasa, who was instructing his disciples.

Takiwara Kiyomasa is a middle-aged man who is not yet forty years old, but his temples are already gray, and he looks a few years older than his actual age.

A few years ago, he lost his right arm in a battle with the Lower String Ghost.

Takiwara Kiyomasa's dominant hand is the right hand, and after losing one arm, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he is unable to continue to fight on the front line of the ghost killing team, so he can only retreat to teach his disciples.

Before Su Yuan, he had already taken in two disciples whose family members had been mutilated by ghosts.

Su Yuan is the third.

After taking Su Yuan to see Takihara Kiyomasa, the helpers retired.

Takihara Kiyomasa looked at Su Yuan, who was dressed as a hunter, his eyes stopped at the iron sword-like sword at his waist, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

This thing is also a knife?

If the swordsmiths in the Swordsmith Village saw it, they would be furious!

"You are Su Yuanjun."

Takihara Kiyomasa pointed to the firewood placed on the stake next to him and said to Su Yuan.

"I heard from my lord that you have a sword technique that is very similar to the breath of the wind? Let's demonstrate it again. ”

"Okay."

Su Yuan nodded lightly towards Takihara Kiyomasa and put down the burden behind him.

He drew his iron sword from his waist and walked over to the stake.

This piece of firewood is actually a log with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and you can clearly see the annual rings in the middle.

Su Yuan held the hilt of the Iron Blade Sword with both hands, and slashed downward with a posture that had been trained thousands of times and was already extremely proficient.

"[Slashing Steel]!"

Brush!

As Su Yuan manipulated the power of the wind, a layer of constantly flowing whirlwind instantly wound around the iron blade, forming an invisible wind blade.

The wind blade hummed softly in the air, cleanly splitting the firewood underneath in two.

"That's amazing!"

"You can cut through such thick wood with that kind of sword!"

The two disciples of Takiwara Kiyomasa were amazed that Su Yuan was able to cut through the log with an iron sword, but Takihara Kiyomasa himself saw it clearly.

It was not the thin blade that seemed to break in two when one force was exerted that it cut the firewood, but the wind that wound around the blade.

He noticed that Su Yuan's breathing had not changed, which meant that Su Yuan did not use the breathing method, but could create such a wind blade with just an ordinary swing of the sword!

A gleam flashed in Takihara's eyes.

"This is the Wind Resisting Swordsmanship? Without using the Wind Breath, he was already able to control the power of the wind, and it was hard to imagine how talented this kid was in the Wind Breath! It's like this breathing method was made for him! ”

"Do I have to have a genius like Kasumi Zhu Tobuichiro in my hands?"

Being able to cultivate talents who surpass themselves in the ghost killing team that has played for most of his life is the greatest wish of Takiwara Kiyomasa after retirement.

Seeing Su Yuan put away the knife, he said loudly with a smile on his face.

"Excellent! From today onwards, you will learn the breath of the wind with me! I will definitely train you to be a powerful swordsman who is better than the blue! ”

……

On the first day of accepting Su Yuan, Takihara Kiyomasa smiled very happily, and even drank some wine rarely.

The next day, after formally teaching Su Yuanfeng's breathing, his face changed several times, and he felt that his three views had been changed by Su Yuan.

On the third day, he sat silently on a cliff, looking at the woods below, deeply doubting himself.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

With a sky-blue Nikcha knife given to him by Takihara Kiyomasa on his waist, Su Yuan planned to call him back for dinner.

His two senior brothers have already cooked.

"Master......"

Su Yuan had just spoken, but Takihara Kiyomasa jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.

"Don't call me master! I don't deserve to be your master. ”

Seeing this, Su Yuan looked helpless.

"I ......"

Seeing Su Yuan striding towards him, Takihara Kiyomasa took two steps back in horror and shouted.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! ”

Su Yuan: ......

Although he was the culprit who caused Takiwara Kiyomasa to collapse, Su Yuan still had to say that the psychological tolerance of this cheap master was too poor!

If Takihara Kiyomasa knew the slander in Su Yuan's heart, he would definitely roar.

Seven days!

Do you know how I spent my seven days?

Teaching a genius is a great pleasure, but it's not good if the genius is too genius!

As the saying goes, one step ahead of ordinary people is a genius, and three steps ahead of ordinary people is a madman.

Su Yuan's talent is not only a genius in the eyes of Takihara Kiyomasa, Jane is simply a demon!

It took him only three days to learn all of the Wind Breath moves, and then it took him another four days to modify them to suit his shape.

This is something that he Takihara Kiyomasa can barely do when he is thirty years old!

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't just lose an arm, but his life.

Looking at Takihara Kiyomasa's appearance, Su Yuan's memory of being a disabled and strong teacher when he first saw him was shattered.

Although he looks serious, he actually has a very interesting personality, and he has not become bitter and hateful because of his broken arm.

"Master, don't make trouble, go back to eat. Ryuuji and Aze are waiting for us. ”

Looking at the wry smile on Su Yuan's face, Takihara's innocent face became serious.

"That's right, that's it, you have to smile more when you're fine! Don't be like the current water pillar Tomioka Yoshiyu, others still think you are facial paralysis. ”

Takihara Kiyomasa smiled and returned to the wooden house with the helpless Su Yuan.

Dinner was braised wild boar, stir-fried vegetables with rice, and a small plate of natto.

Su Yuan was insensitive to this kind of thing.

The training of a swordsman is extremely physically demanding, so everyone's food is not small.

The pots in Takihara Kiyomasa's house are bigger than ordinary people's.

After eating, Takihara's face became serious, and he said solemnly to Su Yuan.

"Although Su Yuan, you have only been learning the breath of the wind for 7 days, I have nothing to teach you. If you're even more physically fit than Ryuuji and Aze, and you're able to modify Wind Breath to suit you, it's time to take the official assessment of the Ghost Slayer. Kasumi Pillar Shitou Muichiro can become a pillar in two months, and I believe you will not be much worse than him. ”

Before Su Yuan could react, Takihara Kiyomasa said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"The assessment location of the ghost killing team is in Fuji Raid Mountain, and it is held once a year, and this year's assessment time is set for a month later. Ryuuji and Aze are still a little short, and they need to be honed for another year. So in a month, you need to go to Fuji Raid Mountain alone to complete this assessment mission. I'm sure you won't let me down. ”
