Chapter 4: A Long Conversation in the Night
Tianjingliu is also a relatively ancient school of swordsmanship, but it has always been scarce. The Yin Stream of the same era has long been on display for a long time, such as the new Yin Stream created by this generation of Shangquan, and the Tianjing Stream is still in a single line, and even in this era it has declined to the point that there is only one person left, and the previous generation of Changjuro has died of illness, and the successor of this generation is Tatsu.
Although the heirs are scarce, the heirs of each generation are amazing talents. For example, the previous generation of Chojuro, who cultivated the mystery of the new Yin Stream at a young age, also studied the magic technique of no sword with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. But this generation of Chen is even more terrifying, except for the legendary Lan Realm, which has no clue at all, almost all the Heavenly Tranquility Stream Mysteries have been cultivated. Such achievements are few and far between, even among successive generations.
"Chojuro he ...... Are you still alive?" Kamizumi couldn't help but ask. Although Kamizumi had already vaguely guessed, he couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Chojuro passed away a year ago. Chen's voice also became a little low, after all, he was the elder of his master and father, and he still felt very lonely when he left him like this.
"That's right...... Sorry. Kamiizumi's tone also showed some regret. If Chojuro hadn't had any physical ailments, he would have been able to discuss the mystery of the swordless with Umizumi. It's a shame that there is one less friend in kendo who can compete. Kamiizumi couldn't help but think.
The people present couldn't help but hold their breath to listen when they heard the conversation between the two, as if they were afraid of disturbing them. Kamizumi was silent for a long time after saying that, and finally Tatsumi spoke first:
"However, I will help him fulfill the teacher's last wish, Lord Ueizumi, please try kendo with me!" Tatsuna's love was restored again, and his eyes were full of blazing light.
This sentence shocked everyone, how could this boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old be the opponent of Shangquan, who was already a generation of sword heroes. It's really a bit overwhelming, and in another ten years, the young man in front of him may be able to compare with the swordsman in front of him. However, he is still too young. Even if it is a talented person, the accumulation of no experience still cannot be compared with the veterans who have become swordsmen.
Bungoro looked at the young man in front of him and felt that the young man's temperament was still insufficient, how could he compare with Ueizumi Sensei, who was still at the peak of his life? Although Bungoro was very optimistic about this young man, it was still impossible for Ueizumi to live as a teacher.
Kamizumi and Tatsumi's eyes intertwined, and finally Kamiizumi said, "Okay, you can compete, I also want to see how strong your swordsmanship is." But there is no hurry. I'm going to visit a master at Kofukuji Temple in Yamato, how about walking with me?"
When Quan Zong heard this, he asked, "But to visit the Treasure Master, I heard that the Treasure Master is also a person with strong martial arts. ”
Chen on the side looked at Quan Zong and asked, "Does the master also know the treasure master?"
Quan Zong thought back for a moment and said, "I once visited the treasure master, and his martial arts are also very strong. Little else is known. ”
Tatsumi thought for a moment and said, "Lord Kamiizumi, can you join me in escorting Master Quan to Owari's Daido Temple?" ”
Shangquan reached: "No problem, Datong Temple is not too far from here. ”
Quan Zong clasped his hands together and said, "Then thank you to Lord Shangquan." ”
The group left the village in the afternoon and headed for the nearby Datong Temple

on the road
Tachibana looked at Tatsu who was walking in front of him, and suddenly felt that the distance between himself and Tatsu seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and Tatsumi should become a generation of swordsmen in the future, although this matter had already been known when Lord Chojuro taught Tatsu. But I know that today it seems that the gap between myself and Chen is getting farther and farther. If Tianchen leaves, where should he go? Tachibana fell into a trance. Until Tatsu reminded that Tachibana had arrived at Datong Temple. Tachibana came back to his senses and looked at the Datong Temple not far away
It was already late in the evening, and the road up the mountain was very rough, so it took a lot of time. However, according to the master of the whole sect, the Datong Temple is only halfway up the mountain, and it takes a lot of effort to go up to the real mountaintop. And it is amazing that another temple was built on the top of a hill where there are no roads. But no one can go up without the permission of the patriarch who is in retreat at the top of the mountain.
The whole sect and his party sat in the side hall. This Datong Temple is very secretive, without the leadership of the monks in the temple, ordinary people can not achieve this at all. It should be regarded as a place of escape, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the Pure Land of the World. There are no traces of the trauma and destruction caused by the war, not even the traces of human existence. The entire temple is cleverly embedded in the mountainside, as if it were originally a part of the mountain. If only this were the case in the world, there would be no war and no suffering. Tatsumi couldn't help but think as he looked at the scenery on the mountain.
People in this era live on the border between life and death, an unstable life, a homeland that will disappear at any time. Already fragile lives are even more powerless in this era. Who can have the power to change their fate? No, as long as humanity exists, war will not die. Careerists of all kinds in order to fight for their own interests do not care what the times are like, as long as power and territory can be obtained, other sacrifices are acceptable or even unavoidable.
Tatsumi had to sigh as he thought back to the cruel truth he had seen. Maybe he really didn't fit to live in this era, he used to be a member of the modern world, and when he first came here, he felt angry when he faced the war. He once asked his teacher, "Teacher, can this era be ended only by war?" and can't it be resolved in a more peaceful way?" and Nagajuro gave him the answer that he couldn't and couldn't. What Chojuro said later is still deeply remembered by Tatsu.
"Because they don't have the power, civilians can't protect themselves. Because we don't have the power to stop it, the world is so difficult. It is precisely because the daimyo in various places have the power of life and death that they unscrupulously start wars. People who don't have the strength don't even have the ability to survive. Tatsumi still remembers that when Chojuro said this, his face showed a little sadness and coldness.
"Definitely. With my current strength, I may only be able to protect myself. But maybe one day my power can change others, even the world!" Tatsumi silently swore in his heart, perhaps unwilling to give in to the world.
Due to the darkness of the night, the group stayed in this Datong Temple. Originally, the mountain was sparsely populated, but at night, only the faint sound of the wind could be heard in the silent ancient temple. There is also the sparse chirping of birds and beasts in the mountains, and I feel that I am in a realm outside the room.
"It's rare to find such a quiet place, and it's not as noisy as the city where you used to live. Tatsu felt this unworldly atmosphere, and inexplicably missed the city life in the past. "Can you find a way back, maybe this is the next goal. However, let's practice swordsmanship first. ”
Tatsumi walked towards the empty forest garden. The mountain breeze blows silently at night, bringing a bit of coolness. Adjust with a slight shaking of the body. The originally stiff body gradually became light and sharp after a high concentration of mind. Close your eyes to perceive the surrounding environment, the mountain wind blows off the green leaves hanging on the branches, and the continuous rotation and fluttering with the wind, the firewood in the distance, the stone bricks on the ground, all in my heart.
Suddenly, the right hand that had been holding the hilt of the sword began to wave, and a bright sword light rose. The long knife cut into the flow of the original wind, and the wind suddenly became chaotic, making it more difficult for Tatsu to grasp the trajectory of the object. But Chen's hands drove his body to rotate, and the bright sword light began to swim with his body. In the end, the sword light was annihilated, and Chen's body also stopped, and the knife was retracted.
A voice full of vicissitudes came from afar: "Your swordsmanship should surpass your master Changjuro in this aspect." ”
Tatsumi raised his head and looked to his side, and the figure of a man revealed in the moonlight, it was Nobutsuna Kamiizumi.
Because Tianjingliu takes emptiness and tranquility as the key, it is best to practice swordsmanship in this quiet environment. Therefore, Tatsu also slowly developed the habit of practicing swordsmanship at midnight. And now Kamizumi probably came here to see how his swordsmanship is.
Kamizumi looked at Chen and said, "Ten leaves and nine breaks, it is indeed a higher swordsmanship realm than Changjulang." I hope you can cross him. There was also a sense of war in Kamiizumi's eyes, which was the excitement and eagerness when he met a swordsman similar to himself.
Tatsumi put away his sword practice posture and looked at Kamizumi, who looked at the leaves on the ground that had been cut in half, and remembered something. After a long while, Kamizumi spoke: "How did a talent like you come to be discovered by Chojuro? If you become my disciple, maybe you can change again and create a new school on the basis of the new Yin Stream." ”
Tatsumi looked at Kamizumi and thought about it in his heart. Maybe the mystery of the new Yin Stream is indeed very powerful, but Tian Jingliu will still be the most suitable for him, not only the suitability between himself and Tian Jing Liu, but also the swordsmanship spirit of Tian Jing Liu is more in line with his ideas. Tian Jingliu's swordsmanship is not only the pursuit of the realm of martial arts, but also the pursuit of the realm of the unity of heaven and man. Compared to this, the new Yin Current's contact is still a human swordsmanship. In the history of Tianjingliu, there is a legendary figure who is close to a god.
But there was no such person in Tatsuna's original impression of the Warring States Period.,Maybe this world is still different from the original world.。 Tatsuya had also thought about the theory of the multiverse, and he also had some guesses about the fact that he had crossed over. Therefore, this world cannot be regarded as an ancient Warring States. Even though there are many historical coincides with it, it is certain that this is not the original Warring States because the area of this Warring States seems to be much larger, and it does not seem so small. Perhaps, this world really has the same unknown power as himself!
Kamiizumi and Tatsumi both sit on the stone steps of the temple, and Tatsumi begins to recall his experience of coming into this world
