Cangchang.

Rosetta took the knife and pushed it out of the sheath with her thumb, only to find that it was a real knife.

Exhaling slightly, Takase Maiyi said: "Since Mr. Luo, you ask me to help you find information about the Hidden Fox Flow, then I think you should know a little swordsmanship, as a reward for helping to complete this matter, I ask Mr. Luo for you to give me a sparring today." ”

"Do you use this real knife?" Rosetta raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "If you ask for this, of course I have no opinion, but I have to remind you that what I am practicing is an out-and-out murderous swordsmanship, and if the real sword is tried, I may not be able to keep my hand." ”

Hearing this, Mai Takase was silent for a moment, and said firmly, "I want to know how big the gap between me and the reborn is now, even if it is an auxiliary ability person who is not good at fighting. ”

"Then you may have found the wrong person." He said, "Even if my ability is biased towards the support class, which can only help me speed up my learning and memory, in terms of combat, I am not the soft persimmon of the resurrection you imagined. ”

“…… I know that. ”

Maii Takase nodded, showing a textbook-like standard swordsmanship stance, and said, "Please come." ”

"Okay." Rosetta narrowed his eyes slightly, although he didn't continue to persuade, but he pushed the knife back into the sheath, and said in a tone without any fluctuations: "But if it's just that you fight, the real knife is not necessary." ”

It is different from competitive kendo, which was born in modern times.

The swordsmanship of the Hidden Fox Stream that he practiced was directly inherited from the killing swordsmanship of the people who participated in the Shogunate War at the end of the Edo period, and it can even be said that it is very different from the swordsmanship of the original Hidden Fox Flow.

Pull, dash, swing.

There was no hesitation.

Rosetta's offensive action is like a smooth cloud,

Although his strength and speed were limited to a level weaker than ordinary people, the sheathed long knife he swung down was still as fast as thunder and lightning, and Takase Mai barely had time to react, and the long knife was already on the verge of death!

At this time, her tempered reaction instinct came into play, and at the critical moment, she raised her knife to meet it without thinking, but in the next moment, she didn't feel a sense of force on the knife, but the cold scabbard had already crossed her defensive posture, and at some point, it had stopped in front of her throat.

Her experience deceived her, and so did her eyes.

Rosetta didn't swing the knife as she felt strongly, but like the magician's tricks, when people focused on what the magician wanted them to pay attention to, the remaining attention, Takase Mai was not enough to notice, his abrupt move.

"If this were in a real battle, you'd be dead by now."

Rosetta put the knife back and said calmly: "When facing a reborn with unknown information, the only thing you know is that you don't know anything, you should understand that the experience accumulated in the world of common sense cannot be directly and rudely applied to the world of reincarnation. ”

"What you can see is what I want you to see, and now I can easily use your mental inertia to make you think that I am going to attack a place on your body, not to mention other reborns, who also use your mental inertia to make you miscalculate his abilities?"

After being silent for a while, Takase Mai put away her knife, bowed to Rosetta, and said, "I've been taught, thank you Mr. Luo for letting me know my strength, how far away I am from the resurrection." ”

"It's a difference in thinking." Rosetta nodded his head with his finger, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll leave these to you to think about slowly, I just want to know what is going on with the interesting hidden fox information you found." ”

"This is a bit complicated to say, so let's sit down first, and I'll tell you to Mr. Luo."

In the dance hall, of course, there is also a place to sit, Takase Maiyi took him into a Japanese-style room, personally made a pot of tea, and put it on the table, and then she said: "The word 'rational taste' is a word in Buddhism, and generally speaking, in Yingzhou, it refers to the "Non-empty True Samaya Prajna Rational Sutra", which is highly regarded by the Eastern Esoteric monks of Shingon Buddhism. ”

"According to this clue, I went to find all the swordsmanship schools related to the monks, or simply the swordsmanship pioneered by the monks, so I found the information of the swordsmanship they taught in a small rural place, which is very similar to the so-called 'Liqu Hidden Fox Flow' at a registered dojo in a small rural place."

"According to the claims of their dojo, 'Rational Pleasure Manifests Flow' is an ancient sword technique that has been handed down from the Muromachi period to the present day, and it is also a method of strengthening the body.

Legend has it that this swordsmanship was originally created by monks who fled into the mountains and forests to defend themselves, so it not only contains a lot of Zen and Buddhist terminology, as is the case with most schools of swordsmanship created by monks, but also incorporates some of the Shugendo exercises, which are also practiced in the mountains. ”

"But the real thing is not that simple."

Speaking of this, Takase Maiyi's voice suddenly changed: "After I paid for their swordsmanship tutorial online, I found that many of the swordsmanship of 'Rational Fun and Self-Manifestation' are actually moves aimed at killing, which is undoubtedly a big problem for a swordsmanship that claims to be created by monks for self-defense." ”

"So, I further searched for the historical information of the era of the birth of this 'rational and self-evident' swordsmanship."

"I found out that during the Muromachi period, during the reign of Emperor Go-Daigo, there was an extremely sensational assassination case related to Shingon Buddhism in Yingzhou at this time."

Mai Takase said this.

Then it came to the scope of Rosetta's profession.

In an instant, the folklorist remembered and said, "The assassination of Hojo Takatoki? Yes, I remember that at that time, there was a Bunkan monk from the Shingon sect who was born in Tachikawa, and under the pretext of praying for the birth of a child in the concubine of Emperor Go-Daigo, he cursed and assassinated Hojo Takatoki, who was in power at the time. ”

In the history of this world, this assassination still ended in failure.

Mai Takase said: "After that, the angry Hojo Takatoki borrowed the orthodox Shingon sect of Tantric Buddhism to purge the Tachikawa stream and destroy its scriptures, so that the monks of the Tachikawa stream were either killed or forced to flee to the deep mountains and forests. ”

"They all fled into the deep mountains and old forests, Mr. Luo, don't you think this description is a little familiar?"

"You mean......" Rosetta reacted: "The one who created the so-called 'rational self-manifesting flow' was the Tachikawa monks who failed to assassinate and fled into the deep mountains and old forests?" ”
