Chapter 25: Miyamoto Musashi

Yidaoliu is also the most widely spread kendo school in Dongying, and the Yin stream and Shinto stream are called the three major swordsmanship schools, and almost all the swordsmanship schools in Dongying are from these three major sects, and the top swordsmen who can be recognized by these three swordsmanship schools are called sword masters.

Of course, there are also swordsmen who have reached the top of their strength and have been recognized by the world, but are not recognized by the three major schools, and they are half a sword saint.

Now that the Imperial Shadow has come to the Dojo of the Ichisword-ryu Headquarters, the personnel here have dispersed, and on the empty square, the early cherry blossoms have withered, and it looks like a depression.

When they knew that the sword ghost was deliberately slaughtering the major sect inheritances, and now they were afraid of the blood of the sword ghost, and the various sects had begun to make plans in advance, abandoning the dojo and scattering the disciples in all directions.

If you don't exterminate the sword ghost for a day, I'm afraid that these sect dojos will look like this.

The Imperial Shadow was silent for a moment, preparing to leave, when he suddenly sensed a natural and powerful aura from the main hall of the dojo.

He couldn't help but look back, his eyes gradually became solemn, and he kept vigilant with the Silence Knife and came to the main hall in the house.

However, I saw a person kneeling in the center of the main hall, this person had tall bones, and his skin had traces of being attacked by the scorching sun and sea breeze, which looked extremely dark and rough.

Especially with a patchwork of stubble, he looks quite like a down-and-out ronin.

However, seeing the two swords hanging from this person's waist, Huang Ying was slightly shocked, and immediately recognized who he was.

"Miyamoto Musashi?! Why are you in a one-knife gym? ”

This person is none other than Miyamoto Musashi, the first-class founder of Nitian, who was born at the end of the Warring States period and witnessed the era of killing like purgatory.

Relying only on his own talent, he has never worshiped anyone as a teacher, and has sharpened a set of two-knife flow techniques, and has fought more than 60 decisive battles with people without defeat since his debut.

As a result, the two heavens are first-class, which is a martial art that is completely outside the three major source systems of Dongying, even if the emperor and the local daimyo recognize it as a sword master, the sect of the three major sources will never recognize it.

is now only hanging half of the sword saint name, in the ranking of the seven major swordsmen of Dongying, it was also deliberately ranked low, but it only fell to the third, and it was still after the Shangquan Xiangzhai of the Shinto flow living sword.

For the first-ranked Imperial Shadow, the only of the seven great swordsmen is Miyamoto Musashi, with whom he has never competed, and because of the obstacles of the three major streams, he has repeatedly missed the opportunity to compete.

He was able to rank first only because he had defeated the Shinto-ryu Kamizumi Shifting Incense Zhai.

However, Miyamoto Musashi, who has always liked to challenge the Quartet, learned about this ranking a few years ago, but surprisingly did not take the initiative to find a duel between the two people ranked before him.

Instead, he escaped into the temple, never touched the knife for many years, carved the Buddha all day without saying a word, and completely washed away his anger, and the person became extremely peaceful, and others thought that his sword path would inevitably decline, but now in the eyes of the emperor, this person must be better than before!

Miyamoto Musashi, who was closing his eyes and cultivating sword intent, slowly opened his eyes, and the essence light in his eyes exploded, as if shooting out two extremely terrifying sword intents, making the Imperial Shadow almost dodge, but he finally maintained his initial composure.

Miyamoto Musashi nodded slightly, "You are the Imperial Shadow." ”

Looking at Miyamoto Musashi's sword-filled appearance, the imperial shadow remembered that he wanted to duel with him many times in the past but was blocked by various forces, and now that the two have met, there is naturally no Xiaoxiao in the way, and immediately gave birth to a strong battle intent and held the hilt of the sword.

"Miyamoto Musashi, the Seven Great Swordsmen, my Imperial Shadow is the only one who has never challenged you, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, since we meet now, it is better to do our best to fight, how about it?"

Miyamoto Musashi was indifferent, but his sword intent was not directed at the imperial shadow.

I saw him reply with an indifferent expression: "I have no interest in fighting against the people who have just been defeated. ”

Huangying's face changed, and he said in his heart, how did he know!

"Were you peeping around that day?"

Miyamoto Musashi smiled contemptuously, "Your Silence Knife is even deeper apart from you, and the other is that your eyes are a little less sharp, and this should be the momentum that the Sun Slashing Sword Technique needs the most."

If it weren't for the defeat that caused a loss of confidence, I don't believe that the swordsman Huangying, who is known as the number one in Dongying, would be like this. ”

Huangying knew that Miyamoto Musashi guessed that he had a defeat just by sensing his own sword intent, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said secretly: Miyamoto Musashi has such eyesight, I'm afraid it is not under Shangquan Xiangzhai, and it will be ranked third, but it is the selfishness of the three major swordsmanship sources.

Miyamoto Musashi looked at the Imperial Shadow in disbelief, and said, "If it was before, I would be very interested in you, and after I decided to challenge and win Izumi Kasai, I will definitely come to you to challenge you after that, and no one can stop me."

But now is clearly not the time, and there is one more prey that interests me, and you know whose it is, or you are just defeated by the man's sword. ”

The Imperial Shadow was silent for a moment, then finally nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I have already fought with the Sword Ghost once. He didn't pull out his real saber, he just used the most ordinary sword to suppress my Sun Slashing Technique, but if you want to say that I am defeated, it is not enough! ”

Miyamoto Musashi smiled disapprerovingly, "The most important thing for a swordsman is his confidence, if even his confidence has been frustrated, and he still talks about making a move with others, it is self-deception." ”

Huang Ying was speechless for a moment, and then said, "You don't want to know how his sword skills are?" ”

"If I had written the Five Rounds Book before, I would have known that the art of war lies in making the best use of all aspects of intelligence and environment to defeat the enemy, or I would be looking forward to finding out his martial arts information from you.

But now, I have stepped from the infinite realm to the realm of the solips, and the environment around me is no longer to use, but to coexist and integrate, heaven and earth are me, and I am also heaven and earth.

Since it has reached this realm, then everything is dominated by me, not the enemy, and it is no longer so important to know the martial arts of the sword ghost. ”

After hearing this, Huangying suddenly showed a look of admiration on his face, but he didn't expect that Miyamoto Musashi had carved the Buddha in the temple all these years, and he was actually comprehending his own swordsmanship, and he had also achieved a breakthrough.

On the other hand, in the past few years, he has not been able to completely unite with the Silent Sword, and there are still all kinds of distractions in his heart outside of the martial arts, and his strength has regressed compared to the past.

The Imperial Shadow looked at the other party and said, "You are staying here, just to wait for the sword ghosts to come to the door, and then duel with them?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”

Miyamoto Musashi's eyes were full of pious light to the Tao, and he said, "The moment I hold the sword, the sword is already my everything, and life and death are out of the way."

Huangying, I also thought you were such a martial artist, but I didn't expect you to be different, which really disappointed me. ”

Huang Ying said: "I'm the same as you! It's just that I haven't understood where the sword heart is recently, and I'm confused. ”

Miyamoto Musashi smiled and said, "In that case, you and I will have a fight, or we can cut through the fog in your heart." ”

Huangying was very surprised, "You just said that you don't want to compete with me. ”

"You misunderstood, I'm not competing with you now."

The imperial shadow understood what Miyamoto Musashi meant, and immediately pulled out the stunned sword, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but praise the good knife, but only pulled out one knife.

Huangying was a little angry, "Don't you need your second day first-class!" ”

"The second day is the first-class killing knife, smash the fog in your heart, just one knife is enough, attack me!"

At this moment, the momentum emanating from Miyamoto Musashi completely overwhelmed the imperial shadow.

The Imperial Shadow felt that there was nowhere around him without Miyamoto Musashi's sword intent, and it seemed that he had become a trapped beast, and was pointed at and forced into a corner by countless hunters with bows and arrows and spears.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: Miyamoto Musashi said that his sword path has been integrated into the nature of heaven and earth, according to the martial arts realm of the Central Plains, isn't this the unity of heaven and man? More on top of the unity of man and knife!

He couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and slashed out, it was the knife intent of Nianliu!

Miyamoto Musashi frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, and he only defended but not attacked the ensuing attack of the imperial shadow with a knife in one hand.

The amplitude of his swing was very small, like a breeze blowing, but every time he slashed at the turning point of the sword momentum of the Imperial Shadow Nian Liuye Taidao, although his power exploded, it was difficult to enjoy it.

Every time he attacked, Huang Ying felt that there was an extra block in his heart, until he exhausted his Nianliu knife intent, not only did he not get half of it, but on the contrary, he was a hundred times more bored in his heart.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi slashed in the air, like Mount Tai in the sky, and the coercion came!

Huang Ying hurriedly swung his knife back, but felt that a monster-like power came out of the knife, forcing his long-suppressed sword intent to burst out, like a mountain torrent trapped by a dike, finding a breakthrough, pouring out reluctantly, unstoppable!

I saw that the imperial shadow flicked away Miyamoto Musashi's knife, and then countless sword shadows cracked out, destroying half of this gym!

After doing his best, the Imperial Shadow stopped panting, and Miyamoto Musashi had already put his sword into the sheath at some point.

He frowned and said: "You have fallen into doubts about your own swordsmanship, the sword techniques that you have just made are all the Wild Taidao mastery of Nianliu, the sword in the opponent, and you don't even have the courage to show your own swordsmanship, and fighting with the sword ghost really makes your confidence frustrated to such an extent?" ”

The imperial shadow reluctantly raised his head, only then did he wake up, after Miyamoto Musashi was bounced away by himself, he turned into nature with sword intent, and the imperial shadow only felt that Miyamoto Musashi was in all directions, and subconsciously swung his knife and slashed away, but in fact, it did not hurt Miyamoto Musashi at all.

Miyamoto Musashi saw that the imperial shadow was in a very bad state, and shook his head slightly, "You can't do this, whether it is a martial arts competition or sword training, it will be detrimental and useless." I can't help you with faith and conviction but tell you about my past experience.

You can try to carve what you want to carve so that you can meditate on it, because only by meditating can you see your mind clearly, so that you can prescribe the right medicine.

At the beginning of that year, I withered the appearance of the Buddha, because of hatred and killing, my heart was full of anger, and the state of the withering was like an ugly and hideous ghost, which was the embodiment of my heart.

Since then, with the calm of the heart, the carved Buddha has become more and more kind, until this time out of the mountain, and then the withered Buddha is no longer the Buddha. ”

Huangying was curious: "What is that?" ”

Miyamoto Musashi smiled, "It's me." ”

Immediately, he took out a wooden Buddha appearance from his clothes, and his face was still a Buddha, but the imperial shadow looked at Miyamoto Musashi and saw that although the two were not similar in shape, the essence of the gods was very similar!

What he carved out is a Buddha and not a Buddha, not me but me.

Huang Ying thought about it for a moment, and immediately felt something.

At this moment, applause came from outside the door, and the Imperial Shadow and Miyamoto Musashi turned their heads to look.

I saw a man wearing the mask of Amaterasu Okami, carrying a huge knife box and slowly stepping in.

"This is a very remarkable realm, the Imperial Shadow is not worthy of the name, but Your Excellency is definitely the most amazing swordsman in Dongying."

Miyamoto Musashi walked towards Fan Zhuoyuan, and his hands had already pulled out the double knives at his waist.

"Sword Ghost Monarch, you made me feel the breath of Yellow Spring that I had not seen for a long time, and this excitement made the air of nature also become active, Miyamoto Musashi is here for two days, please advise!"

After only walking a few steps, Miyamoto Musashi's fighting spirit has reached its peak.

Even Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't help but look solemn, the qi emanating from this person's body seemed to be even higher than the absolute godlessness!

Dongying still hides so many powerful masters, and I don't know how the gods dominated Dongying in the first place, maybe it is really this group of strong people who have never put it in their eyes, and they treat it as a clown who jumps off the beam, regardless of it.

I saw Miyamoto Musashi dragging his double knives over, the wooden floor burst layer by layer, and the knives had not yet danced, but a strong wind had already blown in the building, turning into a tornado and attacking Fan Zhuoyuan!

The knife box on Fan Zhuoyuan's back was shocked by internal force, and the mouth of the box bounced open by itself, and a five-foot straight knife that released sharp light had fallen into Fan Zhuoyuan's hands!

This is the first time that the dragon slaying knife has been unsheathed since he entered Dongying!

The reborn sword was greatly excited, and let out a high-pitched sword roar on its own, and after this period of training, Fan Zhuoyuan, who had already realized the realm of the unity of man and sword, was instantly promoted to the peak.

He dragged the dragon slaying knife, from the bottom to the top, from the back to the front, drawing a semicircle, like a bright moonlight, and was slapping Miyamoto Musashi in front of him.

Miyamoto Musashi felt the domineering sword intent hidden in the sword, and said in his heart: This is the display of this person's true heart, he is actually a hegemon, which is completely unexpected.

He overlapped his two knives and used it to test Fan Zhuoyuan's cultivation skills.

But seeing a flash of sparks in mid-air, Miyamoto Musashi had firmly held the force that weighed 100 catties, and at the same time, the ground of his feet was cracked, the wooden floor was completely shattered, and his feet involuntarily sank into the foundation below.

"What a strength! This person's skill is above me, and he can't fight hard, although he has the realm of the unity of the sword, but it is still not as good as my realm of the unity of heaven and man, and he can still fight! ”

Miyamoto Musashi's thoughts flashed in his heart, his body shook, and he didn't know what kind of light skill he was exerting, only to see the sword intent turn into heaven and earth.

Fan Zhuoyuan instantly sensed that Miyamoto Musashi seemed to be in front of him, but in fact, the sword intent was all over the four directions, almost endless, which was very similar to the selfless path of the nameless supreme sword.

Miyamoto Musashi slashed Fan Zhuoyuan with a knife in the front, but as soon as the wind moved, Fan Zhuoyuan felt a cold behind him, and it was too late to turn back.

Fan Zhuoyuan wrapped his head around his head, and swept away the surroundings of his body with the strong wind of the sword movement, he already knew that the unity of Miyamoto Musashi Heaven and Man was the embodiment of nature, so the sword could be struck from any place at will.

At this time, if you still fight with the unity of the human sword, there is only one way to lose.

Fan Zhuoyuan knew that his realm was not as good as the other party, but his strength was really not weak, after all, he still had the Eight Senses of Bliss!

As soon as his consciousness moved, there were no secrets in the world around him, and it was already difficult to peek into where Miyamoto Musashi was, but now this person had no secrets in front of him.
