Chapter 166 Standing on the Times(2/2)
Everyone fell into silence.
After a long time, the new talent slowly said: "A tragedy is a tragedy... Although I really want to change the ending of the story, my inner thoughts are telling me that the background of the times and the background of the characters are combined, and this is destined to be
An irreparable tragedy..."
Seijuro Hiko, who happened to be passing by and heard the newcomer talking about this, paused slightly.
After staying for a second, he left everyone again.
Soon, the filming continued.
The torrent of time will push people to move forward.
At the end of the year, there was a heavy snowfall in Dajin.
In the wind and snow.
Kenshin stretched out his hands towards Yukidaiba and whispered the most important words in his life.
"I will protect you."
On the vast white field, the two hearts are at their closest distance.
Hiko Seijuro stood outside the house with half-closed eyes, folded his hands, and looked up at the gradually darkening sky.
Suddenly Yukiyoba's monologue in the journal was recalled in his mind, which made Hiiko Seijuro feel even more uncomfortable.
The end of the shogunate is an era that modern swordsmen strive to pursue.
Therefore, compared to the members he bumped into in the room just now, Furu Seijuro naturally knows more about that era.
The chaotic world is like a vast ocean that stirs up turbulent waves from time to time, and the fate of Kenshin and Tomoe is also in this vast ocean.
The two of them are like a lonely boat in the sea, walking together with their own thoughts in mind, and temporarily becoming each other's safe haven.
But from the moment the two met, the tragedy was irreversible.
The combination of sword and heart is bound to bring about a new era of Himura Kenshin. His inconspicuous gentleness hidden under the bloody storm is extremely fatal to Yukiyoba, who has lost everything and is about to go crazy from loneliness.
At the same time, Xuedaba's thoughtfulness and radiance are the core of the sword and the scabbard that is most needed when he is at the forefront of killing and gradually sinks.
For different reasons, two lonely souls met, got acquainted, and then fell in love.
Everything is caused by chance, but everything is inevitable.
Higurashi Seijuro remained silent for a long time.
In the past, he missed the end of the Tokugawa period because the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu had a glorious period at that time.
But he never thought about it.
If we were truly placed in that era, how would the real Feitian sword-playing style behave?
This answer was not very clear to me before Ko Seijuro.
But now, looking back on the history of the development of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, combined with this work created by one of his apprentices, I understand it more or less than Ko Seijuro.
The last glory of the Hiten sword-style was at the end of the Tokugawa period. Before the Meiji period, the Hiten sword-style, which was very popular among the people, quietly withdrew from the stage of history without leaving any trace.
Over the next hundred years, the Feitian sword stream had its ups and downs, but overall it began to gradually decline.
At that time, Seijuro Hiko, who saw this period of history, was still thinking, why did such a thing happen?
It seems now that the heir to the Hiten Mitsurugi Style at that time faced the tide of the times and made the same choice as Hiko Seijuro in the play.
Unlike Himura Kenshin, who was obsessed with saving the world with his sword, the heir of the Hiten Sword Style saw it clearly and retreated naturally.
"He is already terminally ill. The times are like this, and so are people's hearts."
No matter how much of a stir a sword can cause in an entire era, the first thing the heir to the Hiden Sword Style saw was probably the same world Seijuro Hiko saw in the drama.
In these troubled times, the joining of Feitian Yujian style has just become a sharp sword in the hands of politicians.
Just like what is shown in "In Memoriam".
Everyone has their own obsession with survival, and everyone has their own justice.
Standing outside the torrent of history, we can clearly know what we should do and what we should choose.
But people in troubled times don’t know.
The heirs of the Feitian sword style don't know which side they are on, which is the righteous side.
In order to prevent the school from becoming a murderous sword, the Flying Sword Style withdrew from the trend of history.
It's hard for Seijuro Hiko to say whether this is the right thing to do or not.
However, after seeing the story of Kenshin and Tomoe, Hiko Seijuro also understood one thing.
Recalling the sharp edge of the sword and the burning fighting spirit in the troubled times, it is better to focus on the present moment and change from a 'killing sword' to a 'living sword'.
At least in this case, there won't be so many tragedies in this world.
"I'm so lucky, now is a peaceful era."
Higu Seijuro murmured to himself: "Although the swordsman does not need to disappear, it is time to make changes. It is time to let go of the past obsessions... At this time, it would be nice if I had a glass of wine."
On the other side, Saichi Saito, who is also a swordsman, remained silent.
Looking back on my grandfather's manual, during the turbulent Tokugawa era, my grandfather's wish was not only the glory of being a swordsman, but also the belief that 'evil must be killed'.
He believed that the evil he saw would be cut off, leaving only the good side of the times.
Later, after becoming a policeman of the Meiji government, he still implemented his beliefs and looked forward to the advent of a peaceful era.
