The empty hall is very quiet, surrounded by disciples of the Iga faction, there is no noisy sound, and the walls of the main hall are made of wooden planks on all sides, and the roof is supported by three wooden pillars, which is slightly quaint.

In the center of the main hall is a long table with a pot of hot tea, which is steaming white and fragrant. In Fuso, the tea ceremony was widely spread, and it was an elegant culture sought after by the aristocracy.

There were cushions on the four sides of the low table, and the head of Iga, Uemura Hanzo, knelt on the left hand side, Zhang Zheng was not used to this sitting posture, so he sat cross-legged on the futon on the right hand, and the maid Qiu Feng knelt behind him holding the wooden box.

......

He sniffed a wisp of tea, immediately refreshed a lot, and then lifted the porcelain cup and took a sip, the entrance was bitter, and then turned from astringent to fragrant, not that kind of very strong mellow fragrance, but a very light fragrance. Putting down the teacup, Zhang Zheng was curious: "What kind of tea is this?"

Uemura Hanzo didn't speak immediately, but lifted the hot pot and filled it with his tea, and then said slowly: "This tea doesn't have a name, it's just a wild tea that I picked from the mountains in my spare time." How does Childe feel?"

......

He said: "The entrance is astringent, and then fragrant, pure but not mixed, such as the entrance of a clear spring, and like the fragrance of flowers into the throat, it will not disperse for a long time." ”

......

An inexplicable look flashed in Uemura Hanzo's eyes, and he said: "Childe is not only strong in swordsmanship, but also knows the tea ceremony, I don't know who the teacher is and what faction?"

He said: "There is no teacher and no faction, self-taught." ”

......

Uemura Hanzo shook his head lightly, but did not refute, he thought that Zhang Zheng did not want to expose his teacher, so he did not ask any more questions, but continued to turn the topic to tea.

He pointed to the pale green tea and said, "Childe, don't you think this tea is very similar to your knife technique?"

Zhang Zhengdao: "Why do you say this?"

"At the beginning, it was like a storm, like a star falling into the sea, unstoppable, I can see it, but it is just in the middle with softness, and there is a needle hidden in the cotton. ”

Kamimura Hanzo looked indifferent, still drinking tea freely, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The number of Childe Sword Techniques is different from that of Middle Earth, but it coincides with my Fusang Ju, why is this?"

......

That's not true. Zhang Zheng said solemnly: "Fusang kendo is transmitted from Middle-earth, although it is a sect of its own, but it can still be regarded as a branch of Middle-earth martial arts.

You only see that the murderous aura and domineering in my sword technique are just superficial, but you don't see the depths. ”

Uemura Hanzo said in disbelief: "What about the depths?"

"The Tao is different, you can't understand it if you say it, it's better not to say it" These words almost didn't choke Uemura Hanzo to death, the old man stared at him with wide eyes, and a huge momentum had a tendency to explode.

However, Zhang Zheng was still drinking tea, and he didn't mean to explain at all.

In fact, the biggest difference is that the Fusang knife method pays attention to the qi sword, and he is the heart of the sword, the realm is naturally Zhang Zheng is a step higher, but really fighting, this advantage can almost be ignored, which is also the reason why he came to Dongying to refine the knife, learn from each other's strengths.

With the qi sword, it is not too bad, this way is a higher and deeper realm in both Middle-earth and Fusang, not many swordsmen can reach it, but Fusang's mainstream swordsmanship cultivation is very harmful to the body, and the blind pursuit of power is the potential of the body, why the top masters of Fusang are far from being the opponents of Middle-earth.

Like Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Ignorance, and a martial artist of the level of Gu Santong, under the powerful internal force, it is not too terrible to break everything.

......

A true master is always a master of moves and internal strength, not just one or the other.

......

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and finally Zhang Zheng broke the silence, he said: "I want to stay in the Iga faction for a while, ask the head of the sect for some sword skills, how about learning from each other's strengths?"

......

Uemura Hanzo's status in Dongying Martial Arts is extremely high, and there are few people who can be his opponents, but now that he has more opponents, he naturally won't refuse, and he sits and talks, isn't it beautiful.

......

"I heard that your sect recently accepted a Han as a disciple, can you bring it to me to see? ”

......

"Where did you know that?" Uemura Hanzo's eyes shrank, he suddenly couldn't understand Zhang Zheng's thoughts, and where did he get the news of Duan Tianya.

However, after a moment, he reacted and said, "I have never received a Han apprentice. ”

Zhang Zheng joked: "Then it's okay to bring your disciple Long Zeichiro to me to see, right?"

......

"Someone, go and call Ryuzawa Ichiro. Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Kamimura Hanzo simply didn't hide it, and directly asked his disciple to call Duan Tianya over.

......

Not long after, two disciples of the Iga faction entered, and Zhang Zheng's eyes fell on the emaciated young man on the far right, with a clear water chestnut face, dark eyes, and a three-foot-long katana at his waist, no different from the Fuso people.

"He's Ichiro Tatsuzawa. Uemura Hanzo pointed to Duan Tianya and said to him.

"Are you Duan Tianya?" Zhang Zheng stood up and walked around Long Zeichiro.

Judging from the aura that permeates the body, the internal force cultivation is good, far surpassing that of peers, and it should have opened up the five meridians.

Duan Tianya is still practicing martial arts in the Iga faction, and according to the time, he has not been to Edo Yanagi's house.

......

His dress and dress made Duan Tianya very curious, this is a person from the Central Plains, why did he come to the Iga faction, and he also wanted to see himself, at this time Duan Tianya was vigilant in his heart, and he was secretly ready to draw his sword.

Duan Tianya's small actions naturally couldn't hide from Zhang Zheng, he sneered, and didn't make any moves, Uemura Hanzo saw this, so he said: "Long Zeichiro, you go down to practice first." ”

"Yes", Duan Tianya turned around and left, maybe all this was just a coincidence.

......

"He's very talented. Uemura Hanzo sighed and said helplessly: "As soon as he learns the ninjutsu of our Iga faction, I'm afraid it won't be long before I have nothing to hand over to him." ”

......

"Duan Tianya is not a small character. He nodded, and then said, "Please also ask the head to prepare two rooms, I am a little tired from this journey." ”

Qiu Feng behind him suddenly said: "One room is fine, I still have to take care of adults." ”

"Then let's have one. ”

......

Uemura Hanzo instructed two of Iga's disciples and led them to the backyard of Iga's station, which was a separate courtyard with two wooden huts and a pygmy bamboo swaying in the wind in front of it.

......

Zhang Zheng was not picky about the garden, so he stayed here and spent a long time in the Iga faction.

Every day, I either meditate in the room to heal my wounds, or go to discuss with Uemura Hanzo, or learn sword skills, and neither side has ever made a full effort to get to the point.

He didn't heal because of his internal injuries, and Uemura Hanzo didn't think it was necessary.

With an opponent on equal footing, under the mutual confirmation, his sword technique realm is slowly improving.

......

......

In the bamboo forest behind the mountain, a figure is constantly swinging a knife, letting the hot sun shine on his body, sweat rolling low, the speed of this person swinging the knife has not slowed down, but faster and faster.

......

Suddenly, a cold air rushed over, and the figure stopped what he was doing and looked in the other direction with a frown. There, a man in white approached, and after a few breaths, he came not far in front of him.

"Who are you, what are you doing with me?" Duan Tianya recognized that the person who came was the Central Plains man who was with the head of Iga that day.

......

"Should I call you Ichiro Long Ze, or should I call you Duan Tianya?"

Zhang Zheng quipped.

"What's the matter with you?" Duan Tianya said in a deep voice.

......

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll point you to your knife skills. He poked out his five fingers, and in an instant, Duan Tianya couldn't move, and the katana in his hand was pulled by a huge force, detached from his palm, and fell into Zhang Zheng's hand.

......

"Look, this is the real murder knife method. ”

An ethereal voice sounded, and in the next second, Zhang Zheng disappeared, and in Duan Tianya's eyes, there was only an incomparably destructive sword light that slashed through the air.
