Chapter 19 The Living Sword

In the Japanese history of William's previous life, in the early days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Zen master Sawa'an Sonbee wrote the "Soul of Immortality of the Immortal Wisdom", explaining the concept of "integration of the Heart and Sword" and "Zen Sword is the same", integrating Zen principles and sword techniques, and repeatedly emphasizing the role of "heart" in swordsmanship and military tactics.

The famous "Sword Saint" Miyamoto Musashi also emphasized in his book "Five Wheels" that in addition to physical sword skills, spiritual adjustments are the top priority.

It can be said that in addition to being proficient in sword skills, all sword masters in history are proficient in meditation, and even often sit in meditation. In addition to their bodies, they also need to adjust their spiritual and spiritual cultivation.

This is still in William's previous life without extraordinary power. In this world, spiritual and spiritual cultivation is more important. Kengshiro's temple is the "one-centered temple" and the sword art is the "one-centered flow". The practice of "heart" is more important than other sword arts.

The continuous rain seemed to have a layer of gauze cage on the courtyard of Yixin Temple from a distance. The buildings that were crowded in the past became much quieter, and it was not until the hall in the middle of the courtyard that changed. A group of half-large disciples gathered here to chat with each other, and then evolved to fight and laugh.

The originally quiet hall was noisy and messy. It was not until Koshiro entered through the side door and after Pattinson's shout, many disciples obediently knelt in their own position.

Today, because it rained, Kiyoshiro gathered all his disciples in the hall to give lectures. This type of course has been conducted many times, including William. However, unlike William, who has an adult soul, young disciples in other temples do not like the sword principles that are surrounded by clouds and mountains in their eyes. They would rather dance with swords and swords.

Keishiro held his famous sword "Hedao Yiwen" that was almost well-known in the temple. This famous sword was like Keishiro himself. Just based on his appearance, it was difficult to see extraordinaryness and deceptiveness. Only when he was occasionally unsheathed, he would reveal the sharp edge of iron-cutting like mud.

Edmund stared at the words "Harao Yiwen", and his eyes were like a pervert staring at the peerless beauty. Every time Koshiro took out the words "Harao Yiwen", he was like this. William once suspected that he had a fetish.

These people are also engaged in small hillism and even gathered together to listen to the class. At this time, Alamis asked William in a low voice: "I won't talk about those 'big truths' today? Why is Teacher Geng Silang still holding a sword?"

"How do I know?" William said without looking back.

Fortunately, Koshiro finally explained the theory of swordsmanship and finally solved the problem for Aramis.

He pulled out a word and said, and the sword with a cold light was exposed to everyone's eyes from the simple and unpretentious scabbard, and Edmund's expression became even more fascinated.

Koshiro seemed to feel Edmund's gaze, turned his head and smiled in the direction he was, then waved to him forward.

After Edmund, who was careless, Koshiro handed the words He Daoyi to him, and asked with a signature smile: "Do you like him?"

Edmund nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then saw General Koshiro and Dao Yi's words approach him again, and said with a little encouragement: "Pick up him."

Edmund grabbed the big quick knife that was still famous even outside the East China Sea. After grinning for a while, he turned his head to Koshiro, waiting to see what the other party asked him to do next.

There are many bamboo mats in the temple, tied together for disciples to practice swords on weekdays. This is one of the largest supplies consumed in the temple on weekdays. At this time, there are also several listed in the hall.

"You go and cut off the bundle of bamboo mats." Koshiro pointed to a bundle of bamboo mats and said to Edmund, who suppressed his excitement and quickly walked to the bamboo mats.

Although Edmund was a big deal on weekdays, he could tell some of the occasions. After getting to the bamboo mat, he calmed down his smile and made a little progress. Then he cut the bamboo mat into two pieces with a neat slap.

However, William's technique was amazing in his previous life, and it was not a great realm in the Yixin Temple in this world. Moreover, he was holding a famous sword, so other disciples didn't seem to have any special feelings. Only Edmund, who was personally in charge, felt deeply, and he realized why the 21st craftsman of the Great Quick Knife has such a reputation. He did not even feel any barriers when he waved the blade of the word "大子" and it was just like this when he cut butter with a hot knife.

This touch made Edmund look at He Daoyi's words more eagerly.

Koshiro nodded to Edmund's performance just now. He nodded because he was watching Edmund's "shape" in the process of swinging his sword, that is, the process of exerting force, and knew that Edmund's basic skills were quite solid.

But then he took back the words of He Daoyi from Edmund, who had a bitter face, then put them gently on the ground, and took a knife with a simpler appearance than He Daoyi from somewhere and handed it out to Edmund.

Afterwards, Koshiro also pointed to the bamboo mat and said unchanging words to Edmund: "Go and cut off the bundle of bamboo mats!"

Edmund pulled out the knife from his hand first and wanted to check it, but when he saw the blade clearly, his face became even more bitter. The disciples in the temple also saw the blade clearly, and several extremely low laughter came from.

It was an extremely old-fashioned knife. I don’t know how many years it has been, and it lacks maintenance and care. The blades are covered with gaps and even rust. If this knife is the sword of many disciples, it will inevitably be scolded by the adults in the dojo such as Koshiro or Pattinson.

But this was not a problem for Edmund. He came to the bamboo mat again, breathed a sigh of relief, and then he made the same move - progress, and slashing the robe.

The bamboo mat was still neatly cut into two sections, but not only Keishiro, but the people in the hall saw something different from before.

Using the word "Hedao" to chop bamboo mats is like practicing movements and slashing the air on weekdays, as if there is no reaction force from external objects. Edmund's "shape", posture, and movements are perfect from beginning to end. When cutting the bamboo mats for the second time, because the blade was dull and the force was obvious, Edmund was worried that the blade would be broken and the movement was a bit unnatural than before.

Many students came here and thought Koshiro wanted them to experience the importance of whether the knife was sharp or not, and warned them to pay more attention to and care for the knife in their hands in the future.

Alamis pursed: "I understand why Edmund is so jealous and said something."

“It’s not that simple.”

As soon as William finished speaking, he saw Kiyoshiro turn his head, pointing to the bamboo mat, and say the same words in the same tone: "Go and cut off the bundle of bamboo mats!"

The hall was a little quiet, because this time Koshiro didn't tell Edmund, but said it to the words of Hedao who was alone on the ground, as if the other party was a person with life.

(In case of misunderstanding, Koshiro's name of Hedao Yi uses "he" as a typo, but it is intentional.)
