-266- Juggernaut
After the attack, the three of them were very puzzled about who the mysterious man was, Yin Rena didn't see him make a move, but Eri and Asukina did, according to them, the man just swung the knife a few times, so fast that it was like teleporting, and they didn't even see the figure and the shadow of the knife, and the twenty or so black-armored guards fell together.
According to what they said, this man's sword skills are so good, could it be the contemporary Sword Saint Tsukahara Bu Chuan they are looking for?
However, Eri shook her head and denied Yin Rena's conjecture.
"I've seen Mr. Tsukahara's portrait before, although he looks about the same age as the mysterious man, but Mr. Tsukahara's face has scars, and his face is even younger, like a middle-aged little white face."
It's hard to say anything like that, Eri shook her hair: "Anyway, don't worry about who that person is, maybe it's a strong man in the rivers and lakes who came to Mr. Tsukahara to learn, let's go up the mountain to find Mr.'s dojo first!" β
Yin Rena nodded in agreement, no matter how much rain she drenches, she will be fine, and she can float carefree at sea for several days, kidding you? She's fine, but it doesn't mean that Eri and Asukina are okay, both of them are ordinary people who can't be ordinary anymore, and it's not good to catch a cold and fever for a while longer.
In order to find the dojo quickly, Yin Rena picked up her legs and was pressed by the horse corpse over Eri, and Tomorrow Nai had to refuel and run by herself.
"Be careful, especially on rainy days, the mountains are particularly slippery......"
Since Tsukahara Buden made a name for himself and won the title of Sword Saint after challenging the invincible opponent in the world, the mountain where his dojo is located has been called "Sword Saint Mountain" by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, in honor of Shigezakura's strongest individual human being.
There are so many people who talk about it, and everyone just calls it that.
Among the mountains that stretch in the middle, the Sword Saint Mountain is the highest and steepest, and when you look up from the foot of the mountain, the top of the mountain seems to reach the clouds from above, and the dense evergreen vegetation covers the mountain all year round, and the mountainside is where the legendary dojo is located.
The three of them walked along the dirt road, and gradually saw dense bamboo forests and some traces of life around them, and there seemed to be a small waterfall not far away! Further inside, at the end of the fog, I saw a quaint dojo.
It's said that it's a dojo, but it's better to say that Tsukahara Buchuan lives in a house and a courtyard that is usually used for sword practice.
It is very quiet, except for the occasional rustle of the autumn wind through the bamboo forest and the chirping of unknown birds.
The rain was still falling, and standing in front of the gate, there was no plaque, only a small sign hanging next to the door, simply writing the word "Tsukahara", and the name of the private house was completely confirmed.
"What kind of dojo is this, I obviously touched this senior's home." Yin Rena said with a smile.
"Mr. Tsukahara doesn't like to be disturbed, he built a dojo, and there are a lot of guys who come to learn art every day, and there are also a lot of people who come to the gym to kick in, so how can he retreat?"
After speaking, Eri stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, shouting:
"Mr. Tsukahara! We are members of the Yuuki family's open faction, and Elder Ryosuke Yuuki asked us to take refuge in you! β
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps behind the door, and then the door was opened, revealing the person behind the door.
It was a young man, with red lips and white teeth, and a small white face, holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing clogs and kimonos to open the door for them, and gave way to half of his body.
"Come in, the master is waiting for you."
"Master?" Eri wondered, "The Sword Master actually accepted an apprentice?" β
"Yes, under the name of Kamiizumi Shintsuna, a personal disciple who was just accepted not long ago."
Shangquan still had a little pride in his tone when he said this, it was indeed something to be proud of being accepted as a disciple by the Sword Saint, but Yin Rena smiled, obviously not taking this young man too seriously.
"This ......"
"Doesn't look like this is the main house?" Eri asked.
"The master has already promised to take you in, it has been raining for so long, please go take a hot bath to get rid of the cold, it's not good to get sick."
γ
"Big brother, you're so good~" Tomorrow Nai praised sincerely.
Being praised by the cute young girl like this, Kamizumi Nobutsuna was obviously not qualified, and he immediately blushed a little: "This is also what the master meant, I'm just a coolie, this is the bathroom, I have prepared hot water in advance, to ensure that it is enough, as for the clothes...... If you don't mind, I'll bring a few more clean ones from home, and if you don't mind, you can make do with them. β
Eri gratefully accepted the gray clothes handed over by Kamizumi: "Hey, what a young man, thank you!" β
Yin Rena and Assuna also took the clothes in turn:
"Aligado~"
"Aligado~"
"Mmmm~No thanks, no thanks~" Kamizumi was just immersed in being thanked by the beautiful girl for a while when he noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! There is only one bathtub in the washroom! It's big enough...... But it's better to get in one by one! β
Eri, who was walking in the front, looked back and smiled: "It's okay, it's more time-saving and water-saving to wash together, right?" β
The two people in the back nodded again and again.
"Casual ...... Take your liking! Kamizumi blushed and turned to leave, but he dared to swear to his ancestors! He was definitely making up the picture of three beauties of different ages bathing together in his mind just now!
"Hiss, Sbarasis~"
After roughly estimating the time it would take for them to finish washing, Kamizumi was waiting in front of the door in advance.
It was about the same time as he guessed, and after a while, the three of them came out of the steaming bathroom together, with long wet hair, delicate snow-white skin and a first-class appearance, even though Eri was a little older, but his wisdom and maturity could still add a lot of points, and it was definitely the best choice to be a wife.
As soon as the three of them appeared in Shangquan's field of vision, he suddenly felt that the originally boring and flat courtyard was suddenly filled with a wonderful atmosphere, and he was even happier knowing that they would have to live here for a while, at least the sword practice would not be boring in the future! Tsk~ It's exciting to think about! A group of beautiful girls watched him practice swords, maybe he could win one of them!
"This heavy cherry friend, please put away your expression."
Yin Rena walked up to Shangquan and patted him on the shoulder, almost startling him.
"Take the trouble and lead the way."
"Oooh...... I'm sorry I was distracted, but please come with me. β
Passing through the circular corridor, the room facing the main door is where Tsukahara Buden is now.
Kamiizumi knocked on the door:
"Master, I brought them here."
"Well, come in, you continue to practice the basics."
You can see that Shangquan's face stepped down visibly with the naked eye in an instant, and the look in his eyes immediately disappeared without a trace, and the whole person limped away like a walking corpse.
After seeing him leave, Eri stood behind the door, swallowed her saliva, and mustered up the courage to open the door.
What catches your eye is a spacious room, with a symmetrical structure, and you can see a long scroll hanging on a wall facing them, on which are written "Tianzhen Spread Incense and Take Shinto Stream" in nine large ink characters, quite a bit of cursive heroic and uninhibited, majestic.
In the center of the scroll are two swords, or swords, and in the culture of the heavy cherry blossoms, there is no strict division between swords and swords, and those who use swords can generally be called swordsmen.
The floor is covered with tatami mats and cushions, and Tsukahara Buden himself is sitting in the middle, as Eri said, Tsukahara Buden's face has a left slanted scar that runs through the left and right sides of the face, which is very hideous, and his originally handsome face is directly pulled down a notch, but it adds a majesty.
To Yin Rena's surprise, the mysterious man who was at the bottom of the mountain just now was also sitting here at the moment, just the next one in Tsukahara's Bu Chuan, who was looking at them with a smile, and then stood up and led them to Tsukahara to kneel down upright.
The soundproofing of this room is excellent, and when you close the mountain gate, it is difficult to hear the rain outside, as if there are two worlds.
After waiting for two or three seconds, Tsukahara opened his sharp eyes and finally spoke:
"Ryosuke Yuuki has already sent me a letter, for the sake of my former friends, I can let you live here temporarily, but! You'll have to leave as long as the civil strife in the Yuuki family is over, and if you really want to stay, unless I change my mind temporarily. β
The corners of Yin Leina's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this guy is quite good at leaving a way back for himself, let's listen to what else he has to say......
Eri bent down and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, we left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, as the price of hiding from the war here, please let us do what we can!" β
"Oh? Like what? β
"Sir should know that we are good at cultivating undercover agents, and I am one of them, housework, cooking, making tea, and arranging flowers...... I am proficient in all the skills that a woman should know, except for the art in the room, and there should be no servants in the house who do these chores, right? β
Eri's statement really evoked the difficulties in Tsukahara's heart, he was the only big man in the huge house, and another one was recently added, two big men who can only dance guns and swords, and the quality of life can be imagined.
So he happily nodded in agreement: "Yes." β
And Tomorrow Nai also understands that she can't cheat and eat and drink in other people's homes for nothing, and she has to make some contributions! So he hurriedly said:
"I can help Aunt Eri, she will definitely die of exhaustion after so much work!"
Tsukahara was stunned for a moment, and then a rare smile appeared on his serious face: "Very good, the descendants of the Yuki family also have a good life~"
Eri and Asukina have what they can do, and now the pressure naturally comes to Yin Rena's side, just like the feeling of oppression when the teacher shouts at random for a classmate during class.
Yin Rena pursed her lips tightly and did housework...... She's a newly enthroned god to do this work? Then she might as well go directly to the Yuki family to fight, it's hard to say who wins and who loses, how can she suffer such a grievance?
But what else can she do besides housework?
Thinking about it like this, she directly burned her CPU.
And at this moment, the mysterious man who saved Eri and Assuna helped Yin Rena explain: "Bu Chuan, take her." β
Yin Leina: "??? β
Tsukahara Bubiography: "??? β
"What are you thinking? I mean take her as an apprentice, the little girl's swordsmanship is unstoppable, and this spirit is a necessary condition for learning strong swordsmanship, although the moves are extremely rough but as long as there is a little discipline, the strength will definitely grow by leaps and bounds. β
As soon as he said this, Yin Rena couldn't help but think about the identity of this person, being able to sit in this position and call the name of the Sword Saint must be unusual, but there was no one else in the Sword Saint's house except for him and a newly recruited apprentice, could it be that a friend from the past came to visit?
"Why should I take her as an apprentice? Boarding with me, enjoying my protection, and still asking me to teach my own mastery? What benefits can I have? β
"Yes!"
Yin Rena suddenly shouted.
"I'm from the West, if I learn your skills, I can spread it to the Western Continent and let more people know about your existence!"
The reason that drove Yin Rena to study under Tsukahara was not that she really wanted to stay here, but that she was curious about what was unusual about the transcendent system of the Chongying Kingdom other than Yin-Yang Jutsu.
After learning about the performance of this mysterious man, another transcendent system, most likely is this swordsmanship, I don't know what method they used, they can actually play the original ordinary sword skills without bells and whistles full of flavor and power, if you can learn the sword skills of today's sword saints, your sword skills will not be a shortcoming.
Dealing with opponents whose strength is weaker than herself, Yin Rena can easily defeat even with a sword, but for stronger opponents, Yin Rena does not have the confidence to win with a sword, because she knows that her sword skills are not enough.
It's not that Clemanting didn't teach well, at least she mastered the absolute sword sense and many basic moves, but if she faced the transcendent system of Chongying Sword Technique, which specializes in the tip of the sword, it was like using her own interests and hobbies to challenge other people's jobs, which would definitely not be enough, so Yin Rena wanted to learn.
The master is the teacher, and there is no rule that a person can only worship one master in his life.
The combination of the two reasons prompted Yin Leina's decision.
Tsukahara just smiled: "Do you know that now that I am known as the Sword Saint by the world, why don't I enjoy the glory and wealth outside, but live a seemingly idle life in this poor country?"
Because what I care about now is not whether the reputation can be widely spread or famous, but to improve my swordsmanship, and continue to improve on the basis of the sword master to reach the situation where no one has ever been before or after, even if no one knows, it doesn't matter, this is my own pursuit, the pursuit of my life! β
"I say that, do you understand? So I can't agree with your reasoning. β
Yin Rena lowered her head, and Tsukahara looked at 'Jing', which was also the man's name: "No need to say any more, let's do it first." β
"Yin Rena, it seems that you haven't found what you can do, so let's cultivate for a few days, it is said that you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you still have time to think about the future, so go out."
With the exception of Tsukahara, everyone got up from their cushions and was escorted out by Kyo.
And at the door, the moment before she was about to step out, Yin Rena asked, "Since you don't want to teach me, can I teach myself?" Just watching like that. β
Tsukahara thought about it, and wanted to learn his naΓ―ve incense and Shinto stream, just the basic part of the new apprentice Umiizumi Nobutsuna abused her father and mother all day long, she didn't believe that a female doll could understand the power skills and persevere day after day.
So he promised, "Whatever you want, if you can, I won't stop you." β
