Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 26
After entering the gate, Jin Jingjing took the sword and held it with his right hand. This is the etiquette of a samurai visiting a friend's house, which means that there is no hostility.

Otherwise, if you hold a knife in your left hand, you can draw a knife in your right hand to injure someone at any time. This is a vigilant gesture and extremely impolite.

After entering the house, Hatsuhime was taken to the backyard by the female family members of the Hojo family, where the two brothers and sisters sat together.

Hojo Nagahide couldn't help but asked, "The battle over Kyushu must have been brutal."

Jin Jingjing smiled wryly, and narrated what happened to him.

Hojo Nagahide was very surprised, "That Yuan Kou commander is so powerful? Are they really invulnerable?"

Jin Jingjing shook his head and said, "It's an exaggeration to say that he is invulnerable. You can still hurt him with a special weapon."

Speaking of the pointed hammer, Jin Jingjing was also very helpless, "Just using such a weapon, his martial arts skills will inevitably be greatly reduced. His coordination and speed are also unexpected, and he can't even touch it with a hammer weapon." .”

Beitiao Changxiu frowned and said: "Too swords can't hurt, heavy weapons can't hit, isn't it so unsolvable?"

Kagai Jin said: "Maybe there is another way..."

Hojo Changhide raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to learn that forbidden sword technique from master? Master said that he killed too many people with that sword technique, and it was full of karma, so that his family members died and he had no children or grandchildren." .

He wants to completely ban this sword technique and never pass it on. If you ask him, it may be difficult for him to pass it on to you. "

Jing Jingren said solemnly: "Now that the Yuan invaders are invading and the country is about to be destroyed, our samurai family should fight the enemy with all our strength. Even if it is a swordsmanship that is entangled in karma, as long as it can seriously injure the enemy, why can't it be passed on? I will ask Master to explain the situation. .”

"Are you going this afternoon?"

Kagami Jin nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll go with you. There are only the two of us left as the disciples handed down by the master at the beginning. One sword style should also contribute to the country!"

In the backyard, Hatsuhime was at a loss looking at the elegantly decorated Hojo family mansion.

For a peasant girl who lived in the mountains since she was a child, how could she have seen such scenes.

Hojo Changhide's wife, Nadeko, smiled and comforted her, and asked, "Miss Hatsuhime, what is your relationship with Mr. Kagui?"

Chu Ji blushed, "Mr. Jingjing saved me twice..."

Nadeko smiled and said, "Okay, I won't ask any more questions, Miss Chu Ji, let's change clothes."

Chu Ji looked in surprise, and saw a maid walking in small steps holding a set of kimonos.

Nadeko said: "Ms. Kagami is our family, and Miss Hatsuhime will definitely be our family in the future. When we meet for the first time, and there is no other gift, I will give Ms. Hatsuhime a kimono. Mr. Kagami will definitely see it. Will be very happy."

Chu Ji hurriedly leaned over and said, "Madam may have misunderstood, I was born in a farming family, so it is impossible for Mr. Jingjing to be with me."

Fuzi said: "The country is broken, the blood is broken, is the blood really that important? Miss Chu Ji, you don't have to be polite."

In the end, the girl's beauty-loving nature overcame the inferiority complex in her heart, so Hatsuhime put on this beautiful kimono and put it on, while Nadeshiko and the maid praised her repeatedly.

Seeing that the other party didn't laugh at her, Hatsuhime felt a little relieved, knelt down on the ground, and talked with Nadeko about the many adventures she had had since coming into contact with Kagami Hitoshi.

While talking, I saw a pair of guzhengs in the corner of the room, and looked over curiously.

Fuzi smiled and said: "When my mother was young, she went to the Middle Earth with her father, met a scholar by chance, and learned the guzheng skill from the scholar.

Later, I was pregnant with the flesh and blood of a scholar, so I traveled across the ocean and returned to Japan, and gave birth to me. When I was free, I missed my mother and would always play the music my mother taught me. Miss Hatsuhime, would you like to listen to it? "

Chu Ji thought to herself: No wonder Madam is so tall and beautiful. So she is of Song Dynasty blood. I wonder if I can become a generous and gentle person like her?

Chu Ji said awkwardly while thinking: "I'm just a little curious about the music played by Song people's zither."

Fuzi smiled and didn't say anything, took the zither and started to play the score, I don't know if he was sad about the current situation in the world, and played a piece of Xin Qiji's water dragon chant.

Chu Ji was also shocked by the guzheng music, and unconsciously, she suddenly wanted to learn how to play the guzheng from Nadeshiko.

After listening to a song, she subconsciously said: "Ma'am, I really want to learn Guzheng, can you teach me..."

After finishing speaking, he deeply felt that he was impolite, and said again: "If... If you feel presumptuous, then forget it."

Nadeshiko smiled and asked Hatsuhime to come closer, and grabbed her hand. Although there were some calluses from farm work on it, it was still slender and delicate overall.

So he laughed and said, "Miss Chu Ji has this talent, why can't she learn it?"

On Kagami Jin's side, he didn't wait until the afternoon. The two talked about the critical situation and decided to go to the mountain to find their master first.

In the Yicheng Temple, the two were led by the monks to the Buddhist temple behind.

Under the maple tree, there was an old monk with a white mustache in cassock, sitting on the ground contentedly, with a chessboard in front of him, on which was an endgame.

He played chess with himself, thinking about how to break the endgame, and was extremely engrossed.

This person is the master of Kagami Hitoshi and Hojo Chohide, Nian Ami Ciyin, an old swordsman who has been in Japan for decades and even taught swordsmanship to the shogun.

At the moment, I saw that his face was kind and his expression was calm. He didn't look like a swordsman who killed people like hemp when he was young, but an eminent monk.

Kagami Jin and Hojo Changhide looked at each other, came to Ciyin, knelt down on both knees, and silently kowtowed.

Ciyin didn't speak, and played chess alone, until the end game couldn't be solved, then he messed up the game and turned to look at the two of them.

"Aren, you came to learn that sword from me."

Jingjing Ren said sincerely and righteously: "Master! Yuan invaders are raging, and my disciples have no ability to lead the army. Only by killing Yuan generals with our own strength can we save the country!"

Hojo Changxiu also pleaded: "Master! Ah Ren has fought against Yuan Kou Commander twice, and he knows that he is powerful and terrifying. If there is no other way, he will never come to Master to learn that sword from you!"

"I'll teach you." Ciyin said lightly.

The two brothers looked up in astonishment, they didn't expect the master to agree so happily.

"With that sword, killing innocent people is accumulating karma, but beheading foreign enemies is cutting karma! This point is clearly distinguished by the teacher.

But to force you to come and learn that sword from a teacher, I'm afraid that general's strength is no small matter. "

Jing Jingren recounted in detail the process of fighting Fan Zhuoyuan again, and finally said: "The only thing my disciple is worried about is that after learning that sword, it is still difficult to kill him.

If the master is 20 years younger, I am afraid he will not be able to resist it. "

Ciyin just smiled, noncommittal.

He stared into the distance, finally nodded slightly, and said: "It's okay, no matter how strong the defense is, it is impossible to be without flaws.

Listening to what you said, Aren, I have made some calculations. During this period of time, you are staying at your brother's house, and you come to the temple to find me every day. I will teach you the sword and the way to break it. "
