Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 42: Snow duel

In fact, the person who really carried forward Iai Kendo was named Hayashizaki Jinsuke. When Jinsuke Hayashizaki was six years old, his father was attacked and killed by the diners of the feudal clan at the time, Sakagami Juzen.

At that time, Sakagami Osen was a well-known swordsman. Hayashizaki was very helpful to avenge his father. Although he studied swordsmanship with great pains, due to the difference in strength, if he competed with Sakagami’s swordsmanship and skills, he would undoubtedly win the battle for a long time. Very low.

   Therefore, if Lin Qi Jinsuke wants a quick swordsmanship and avenges his father as soon as possible, he must learn a quick fight and quick decision of the sword, and strive to distinguish the winner in a short time. So Hayashizaki decided to join the Kashima Shintoryumen, and worshipped Tsukahara Buden as a teacher to learn swordsmanship.

   At that time, Tsukahara Boden was not only the best swordsmanship in Japan, but also Kashima's new style of swordsmanship, which emphasized pure "one hit kills."

  In the year when Linzaki Jinsuke felt that he was a master of swordsmanship, he decided to have a one-on-one duel with Sakagami Master. At that time, as a famous swordsman, Sakagami Master Zhan despised the eighteen-year-old man. He didn't even draw his sword, and even asked the opponent to draw his sword and attack him first.

   Linzaki Jinsuke didn't say a word, suddenly drew his sword and slashed, cutting the head of the enemy Sakagami Master Chan in half with one knife, and Sakagami Master Chan's hand had just touched the hilt of the knife until the moment he died.

   Hayashizaki Jinsuke's sword-drawing technique is also known as the sword technique of revenge. Although Jinsuke Hayashizaki did not open a dojo throughout his life, there were outstanding disciples among his disciples who passed down this Iaika Kendo, and later generations referred to this genre as Linzaki Myojin Dream Stream.

   Iaido’s life lies in the time when Raisun draws his sword. This famous saying has also spread along with the dream of Hayashizaki Myojin and spread to all of Japan along with Iaido.

   Of course, at this time, Hayashizaki Jinsuke had just avenged his father’s vengeance. Iaido’s reputation was not as strong as it was later. Iaido swordsmanship was still regarded as a kind of sword drawing at the time. But in Katori Shinto style, many people have been studying the art of drawing swords.

   And Kashima Shintoryu of Tsukahara Buden, as one of the genres of Katori Shinto school, there are many people who practice drawing swordsmanship. Li Xiao remembered the swordsmanship of Shioka Ichiwa when he smashed the tip of the five foot guns under Heizo Nishimura with a single blade, which was also the swordsmanship of Iaido.

   In fact, there is only one trick to come and go in Iaido, which is to cut across it, which is called horizontal text. Later, the so-called Juhe Shishi was just a method of drawing swords in ten different situations.

   On the tenth of January, a heavy snow suddenly fell on the entire Shinano, and the four fields were vast.

   On the snow-covered country roads, the people of Shinano braved the cold and went to the Suwa Shrine in Suwa County to participate in the annual New Year's Festival. In addition to paying homage to Suwa Daming God, you can also enjoy the miraculous sight of Oshindu.

When the winter is extremely cold, the surface of Lake Suwa is completely frozen, but the ice surface in the center of the lake often bursts due to the temperature difference, forming a narrow water surface that is dozens of miles long and connects Suwa Shangshe and Xiashe. Trail. This natural phenomenon is called "Goshendu".

   is regarded by the locals as a miracle left by the encounter between the male **** of Shangshe and the goddess of Xiashe across the lake. The common people can use the moire patterns on the ice cracks to predict the annual climate and the disasters of crops.

  Snowflakes kept falling, and the climate was getting colder and colder. In the woods five miles outside the city, Shioka Ichiwa, who had not seen him in March, was standing alone in the snow at this moment.

   Shioka Kazuwa wears black haori on the upper body, which is the family pattern. The left and right sleeves of Shioka Kazuwa are embroidered with the bellflower family pattern representing the Toki clan.

   He wore a skirt that looked like a skirt hanging from his waist to his feet. This is actually called a horse riding hakama, which has an inner crotch. There are five folds outside the Macheng hakama. Each fold represents the five relationships of Confucian ethical monarchs, fathers and sons, couples, elders and children, and friends, and also symbolizes the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.

   Shioka Kazuha's dress is orthodox and costume. At that time, he was called Wufu or Tangfu. The reason for the name is naturally because it was passed down from China. The reason why Shioka Kazuha dressed so formally was the solemnity of a swordsman in the duel and the respect for his opponent. After all, a duel is a matter of life or death, at least you should dress decently before hanging up. In the eyes of a Japanese samurai, death is not enough to fear. The only worry is not to die decently and lose the glory of the samurai.

   Now Shioka Kazuha folded his arms in front of his chest, his sword and ribs were on his waist, and he did not hold an umbrella. Although he was standing under the tree, snow fell on his head and shoulders from time to time. At this moment, Shigang Yiyu's complexion was stern, and his expression was stern, because Li Xiao, who was invited to the duel, was already half an hour late than the prescribed time.

   "This **** Ming countryman." Shigang Yiyu secretly cursed.

   At this time, there was a rustle of snow stepping in the distance. Shigang Yiyu saw two figures holding umbrellas one after the other, walking towards this place.

   "It's finally here." Shioka Kazuha reached out his hand and brushed the snow off his body, and he took a step forward.

   "I'm sorry, some mundane things are involved, and I am a step late." Li Xiao smiled and walked to Shigang Yiyu, and stopped a dozen meters in front of him. Behind him was Shima Katsumou, his entourage, with an umbrella on one side and a spear on his shoulder.

   "It doesn't matter."

   Shioka Kazuha replied in a deep voice. Although he said so, he actually thought in his mind that the duel was the first-class event, and the opponent was late because of mundane things. This is really disrespect for the opponent, Shioka Kazuha secretly regretted it, UU reading www.uukanshu. com's choice to fight against such a person will spread out in the future, and it will also tarnish his reputation.

   Not to mention, I will never mention this duel with anyone in the future. Shioka Kazuyu thought of this, stretched out his hand and said, "In this case, let's start fulfilling the promise we made three months ago, please."

   Li Xiao stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture, saying: "Hold on, my hands and feet are frozen all the way along the way, I need to move my muscles and bones, don't you object."

Shioka Kazuha suddenly became angry with an impatient look on his face, but he still maintained a master craftsmanship, waved his hand to beckon Li Xiao to continue, and at the same time continued to resume his hands-in-chest posture and close his eyes. repose.

   Li Xiao sneered secretly, slowly relaxing the warm-up exercises of the muscles and bones of the hands and feet.

   After waiting for a long time, Li Xiao saw Shioka Kazuha gradually becoming unbearable, and then said: "Let's start."

   After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took his big gun from the hand of Masaru Shima, waved forward, and opened the door and posture. Shigang Yiyu looked at Li Xiaobu's katana, then used the gun for a moment, and asked, "Don't you use a knife? Why did you suddenly switch to a gun?"

   Li Xiao smiled indifferently and replied: "Who told you that I used a knife? The weapon I am really good at is this gun. Look at the gun!"

   After that, Li Xiao rushed forward quickly, and Shigang Yiyu saw Li Xiao attacking, so he pulled out the scabbard across his chest.

   After the tip of the gun in Li Xiao's hand dragged a few meters in the snow, it suddenly turned upwards, setting off a cloud of snow powder, and covering Shigang Yiyu's whole body with his head and face.

   At this moment, Li Xiao retracted the big gun, shouted, and swung forward the strongest shot he had prepared for a long time!

   Between life and death duels, dare to be so big, go to death, Shioka Kazuha. Li Xiao said secretly in his heart.
