In the morning, Chen Xiao stood in the yard and stretched, feeling a little sleepy.
Last night, Tang Xin and I talked all night long. Tang Xin just left at dawn.
However, after knowing the true nature of "Heart Sword Art", the original sense of mystery and interest in it actually faded away.
Chen Xiao knew very well that although the Heart Sword Technique seemed mysterious and profound, it was actually a short-term theory that could be "transformed into something big". Although it is said that if you can master all the rules, no matter what enemy you encounter, you can anticipate the enemy's opportunities and make yourself invincible. This theory may seem perfect—but it’s actually completely unrealistic!
Tang Xin has been regarded as a rare genius in Japan for thousands of years. He has only achieved a small amount of success. Moreover, because of his "disabled body and strong will", he was forced to give up learning martial arts and devoted all his talents to it. It was only through the comprehension of the Heart Sword Technique that I achieved some success.
But just imagine, even a monstrous genius like Tang Xin could only achieve a small success after pouring all his efforts into it...
Speaking of which, if you can practice this mental swordsmanship to the extreme, you will be invincible... But this is a "false proposition" because there is no "if" at all! This kind of thing is just a figment of imagination. In fact, it is impossible to practice it to perfection.
If you really devote all your energy to practicing the Heart Sword Technique, you will definitely waste other skills.
But it is undeniable that some principles of the Heart Sword Art are also helpful to improve the level of martial arts practice, but you don't need to indulge too deeply, otherwise you will become obsessed.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao suddenly felt something in his heart!
I can think of this truth myself, so how could someone as smart as Tang Xin not think of it? This swordsmanship seems to be profound, but in fact it is just a flashy thing! He understands it, but Tang Xin doesn’t understand it
So she was being mysterious and teaching herself seriously before... I'm afraid she may not have any good intentions...
If you are really obsessed with it and spend all your efforts to delve into such a realm that can never be achieved, I'm afraid you will really be wasted!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao sneered in his heart, this woman... Humph!
If the Kamichen family's inner sword technique is really powerful and can be practiced to become invincible, then why doesn't Naoo Kamiya practice it? Why doesn’t Takeuchi Fumzan practice? It’s not a lack of realm, nor a lack of talent! But I gave up after seeing through that the essence of this kind of thing was flashy. I am just using the Heart Sword Technique as an aid to improve my level of swordsmanship. I will not really indulge in the illusory dream of "mastering all the rules".
I went to bed too late last night and woke up a little late in the morning. But when Chen Xiao walked out of the courtyard, he still saw Ito Kyo standing outside the courtyard holding a folding fan, with a leisurely look on his face, smiling at him and saying hello.
Has this guy arrived early in the morning and been waiting outside
Chen Xiao secretly thought to himself that the people in the Shangchen family were really willing to spend time on themselves.
He was already wary in his heart and did not show it on his face. He just nodded to Ito Kyo.
"Chen Xiaojun, the Daizong family asked me to arrange a car today to take you to Kyoto in the afternoon. In the morning..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao said: "I also want to go shopping in Kobe in the morning."
Ito Kyo was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll just be Chen Xiaojun's tour guide again."
The two of them went out. Chen Xiao had been shopping in Kobe for two days, but this time he got in the car and said, "Go to Nanjing Town to see it."
Kobe's "Nankin Town", also known as Chinatown, is actually the Chinatown of Kobe City.
Chen Xiao came here once yesterday and remembered some directions in her mind. This time, without Ito Kyo's guidance, she went directly to a Chinese clothing store, bought two sets of Tang suits, and changed into her kimono. .
"Do as the Romans do. Just wear this kimono for a while and it will be enough. It would be more comfortable to change into a Tang suit." Chen Xiao calmly changed into a Tang suit.
In fact, he had a calculation in his mind. Tang Xin's intention was to use his own power to help the Chen family as a thug. This became very apparent yesterday. If he continues to help her, with so many fights, the Shangchen family's reputation will be even higher. Others will only regard themselves as members of the inner circle of the Shangchen family.
If you put on a Tang suit, you will clearly show your identity. You don't need to say anything, just look at your clothes, it will be obvious that you are not a member of the Shangchen family.
This was what reminded Chen Xiao yesterday when Kojiro Nishihira mentioned his identity as "the descendant of General Tian of China" in his words.
Chen Xiao is not an angry young man. Although he doesn't like Japan, he doesn't think that wearing a kimono once in Japan is a violation of national integrity. It is also common to do as the locals do and wear the clothes of the local indigenous people. But when a competition is involved, then your position and who you represent are completely different! So today I kept my cool and put on a Tang suit.
Of course, he had no money with him, but the money to buy clothes came from Ito Kyo.
Yesterday I helped you as a thug for the Shangchen family, and that girl Tang Xin actually tricked me with something as obsessive as the Heart Sword Technique... Humph, it's right for you to spend some money.
When Ito Kyo saw Chen Xiao change into a Tang suit, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it very well, and then he continued to smile as usual.
Chen Xiao was determined to kill the culprit, so he let Ito Kyo take him around and bought a lot of things in one go. At noon, he found an extremely expensive Japanese palace restaurant and had a big meal.
It seems that the Shangchen family is really rich. Ito Kyo didn't even frown for the half-day expenses. Chen Xiao also knew that he was having a childish temper, and then smiled with relief.
However, when he returned to Senryu Palace at noon, he was about to take a bus to Kyoto. He had a plan in mind. After finding Zhang Xiaotao, he would immediately return to his country and never pay attention to the matters regarding the kendo school in Japan.
Now that you are in Japan, you are not in a hurry to fall out. If they say inner disciples, let them be inner disciples. If you have to agree to participate in some sword trial competition as the Shangchen family, you might as well agree casually. As long as I return to the country, can they still come and kidnap me
However, when I returned to the entrance of Quanliu Palace, I saw several cars parked at the entrance. At the entrance of Quanliu Palace, many Shangchen family disciples were standing on both sides of the door as if they were faced with a formidable enemy. They all wore bamboo swords and looked murderous.
"What happened again?" Chen Xiaocai saw this scene when he got out of the car and glanced at Ito Kyo. Ito Kyo looked confused, as if he didn't know the situation.
Chen Xiaocai and Ito Kyo walked into the door and saw a young disciple of the Shangchen family running over quickly. They were stunned for a moment when they saw Chen Xiao wearing a Tang suit, and then quickly said something to Ito Kyo.
Ito Kyo was also a little surprised. He looked at Chen Xiao and said with a smile: "It's quite lively. We just beat away three kickers yesterday, and today someone came to the door again. It seems that they can't stay idle." He looked at Chen Xiao , Youyou smiled and said: "Mr. Nohara Shinnosuke, as a disciple of the inner hall, let's go up the mountain to take a look at the Heart Sword Studio."
He called Chen Xiao "Nohara Shinnosuke", and Chen Xiao understood his intention.
Chen Xiao did not refuse and said with a faint smile: "Let's go up the mountain."
After taking two steps, he turned back and glanced at Ito Kyo: "Brother Ito, you and I both know the name of 'Nohara Shinnosuke'. It was just a casual joke I made to tease those people yesterday, so there is no need to mention it. The title." I can do it with Chen Xiao."
Ito Kyo smiled, his eyes a little unnatural, and without saying much, he followed Chen Xiao up the mountain.
In the courtyard of the inner hall of Xinjianzhai, it was not like yesterday. Not all the eight heroes of Shangchen were present. Even Ito Dao did not show up. Only Tang Xin was sitting on the seat in the inner hall. In the courtyard below , only Jingu Heihachiro and three other second-generation swordsmen were sitting there.
In the middle of the courtyard, there were several people wearing white warrior robes, probably coming to play.
What made Chen Xiao slightly strange was that the robes worn by the guys wearing samurai robes were obviously not Japanese kimonos. Although the styles were somewhat similar, the subtleties were somewhat different. It seems...
One of the tall guys had the most serious expression and kept whispering something loudly to the followers around him.
As soon as he heard this man speak, seven or eight out of ten sentences seemed to have "Smida" in his mouth. Chen Xiao, who had watched many Korean dramas, immediately understood.
The people here to play in the gym are actually Koreans? !
The guy next to him seemed to be a translator, and he quickly translated what the Korean warrior said into Japanese.
Of course Chen Xiao didn't understand, so he just walked in with Ito Kyo swaggeringly, walked directly into the inner hall, and sat on the edge.
Tang Xin saw Chen Xiao in a Tang suit and was startled for a moment. Then a smile appeared on her face. Without saying anything, she just came over and whispered: "Chen Xiaojun, what do you think this Korean said?" ?”
Chen Xiao shook his head: "I don't understand. I can't understand Korean or Japanese."
Tang Xin said: "The man in the middle is a famous swordsman from South Korea. He is a master of Tianmen, a famous Korean celebrity. I came to Shangchen's house. I want to learn the swordsmanship of Shangchen's family."
After hearing this, Chen Xiao said calmly: "Very good, just fight him. Doesn't he want to teach you the swordsmanship of the Shangchen family?"
The Korean warrior below saw Chen Xiao sitting in a seat in the inner hall wearing a Tang suit. He couldn't help but feel a little weird, and just frowned at Chen Xiao.
Tang Xin snorted and said calmly: "Although Shangchen's house is not a forbidden area, it is not a place where just anyone comes to play. We have to come out to greet them. Otherwise, cats and dogs will come to the door, so the people of Shangchen's house will , you don’t have to do anything else every day.”
Chen Xiao was still lukewarm: "If you don't want to fight, just drive them out. This is your Shangchen family's territory anyway."
Tang Xin noticed the change in Chen Xiao's attitude and just smiled softly: "I deliberately didn't want to accept this competition, but they gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse."
"Oh?" Chen Xiao was a little curious: "What's the reason?"
Tang Xin did not answer directly, but stood up and said in Chinese to the Korean warrior below: "Your Excellency, this person next to me is a Chinese master who has a long history with my Shangchen family. With him here Now, can we talk in Chinese?"
The Korean warrior hesitated for a moment, then said in jerky Chinese: "Okay!"
Chen Xiao knows that the influence of Chinese culture in South Korea is even greater than that of Japan. To this day, people in the upper class of Korea still take pride in being able to write Chinese characters. If they can recite standard Chinese poetry, it is simply a symbol of nobility.
Tang Xin said slowly: "Although Your Excellency has come from afar, my Shangchen family doesn't like fighting with others. We originally didn't want to accept this competition..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Korean warrior loudly said: "It's not a competition, it's just a sparring match! Besides, the ancestors of my sect once competed with the seniors of the Shangchen family. Today, I am here, which can be regarded as inheriting the legacy." The beauty of people!”
With that said, the Korean loudly said: "I! Tian Shengxun! The chief swordsman of the Korean celebrity Tianmen, please give me some advice from the masters of the Chen family!"
Tang Xin said coldly: "What if we don't accept it?"
Tian Shengxun snorted, waved his hand, and someone beside him quickly took out a simple long box and slowly opened it.
Inside, there was actually a withered and dried rattan! !
"This is the record that our senior master Tianmen left in Japan in the past! If you Shangchen family dare not fight, just admit defeat in front of this cane and admit that you Shangchen family is not as famous as my famous Tianmen!"
Chen Xiao's eyes popped out when he saw the rattan in the box. He couldn't help but wonder: "Yi? What does this rattan mean?"
Tian Shengxun smiled proudly: "My Tian family ancestors had an expert, known as General Tian, who was the previous generation expert of my Tian family! In the past, this expert once used this cane to sweep away the Japanese swordsman! This cane is a testimony !”
Chen Xiao was stunned, completely stunned.
He swallowed and said, "You mean... that General Tian who conquered Japan in the past was one of your Koreans?"
"Of course! General Tian is my ancestor warrior in Korea! I, Tian Men, are the sect of a wealthy family in Gyeongdao, Korea! I have the title of general! That senior calls himself General Tian, precisely because of this!"
Chen Xiao almost had his nose twisted with anger.
He sighed and smiled bitterly in a low voice: Sure enough, he is indeed Korean! Typical Korean! In their mouths, General Tian has become a martial arts master in South Korea...
He looked at Tang Xin and sighed: "To be honest, I didn't want to take action at first, but now it seems that if I don't teach this shameless Korean a lesson, my own conscience will not be able to bear it."
