I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 101: The Dying Dragon


Dang and Ma hurry up and finally get to the hospital before the sun goes down.

At the door of the hospital, I met Masaka Kamizumi, who was pushed out by his wife in a wheelchair.

He Ma saw at a glance that Shangquan Zhenggang had an entry above his head: Dying Breath.

The entry has no description, and such a simple and easy-to-understand literal does not need to be explained.

Shangquan just saw Hema's expression and smiled: "Why are you so serious, I'm not dead yet."

But looking at the entry above your head is fast.

Of course he wouldn't say that to Ma, and he also made himself smile: "Well, then I'm really at a loss for coming here in a hurry. When I received the news, I had just finished a big meal, Zheng Meimei I was enjoying dessert after dinner, but I rushed over in a hurry..."

"Hmph, don't worry, I won't let you come in vain." Shangquan Zhenggang smiled, "Let's go, go to my little house. You really brought a lot of people here."

When the voice fell, his wife said, "Don't worry, the bedding roll is enough."

"Okay, that's fine." Shangquan Zheng just nodded again and again.

But his wife added: "It's just that there aren't enough rooms. Maybe the children have to sleep together in bed at the dojo at night."

He Ma hurriedly said, "It's okay, we're fine."

"Yeah, it's like a dorm!" Mikako exclaimed, "Let's have a pillow fight tonight!"

Qingliu sighed: "Like children, we can't be so happy when there are patients."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Shangquan Zheng just waved his hand, "I also like to watch young people make trouble. Let's go, the car of the Quanjian League is over there, where is your car?"

He Ma pointed to the black high-end car parked not far away.

"Follow me." Kamizumi said just now, then made a "go" gesture to his wife.

He Ma just remembered at this time if he should help the old lady push the wheelchair.

He was about to speak when the old lady said first, "Let me do it. I probably don't have much time to push him."

The old lady seems to be saying that she should not be able to push it any time soon, but He Ma guessed that he knew the real situation through the entry, probably the hospital has already informed the old lady of the fact.

As for Shangquan Zhenggang himself, the old man probably felt that his deadline was approaching, so he called Kazuma over.

He Ma watched the old lady push the old man into Quan Jianlian's RV - the car also has a barrier-free design, which can push the wheelchair directly.

He Ma waved to the apprentices: "Let's go too."

**

Shangquan Zhenggang's villa, as he said, is a small house.

It is also a building with a dojo. This house is a full circle smaller than the Kiryu Dojo of the Ma family.

And it seems that there is only a small attic on the second floor, not like Kiryu Dojo at all. There is also a row of houses for the disciples to live on the second floor.

The old lady Shangquan pushed Shangquan Zhenggang directly into the entrance, and then waved to Hema: "Come and help me."

He Ma hurried forward and helped the old lady carry the wheelchair up the steps of the entrance.

Then the old lady bent down and helped Izumi just take off her shoes.

He Ma took off his shoes and put them away with his apprentices.

At this time, Shangquan Zhenggang suddenly said: "Kiryu, push me to the dojo."

He Ma immediately stepped forward and pushed Shangquan Zhenggang to the dojo.

The old lady Shangquan helped him open the door of the dojo.

"Open the door to the courtyard." As soon as he entered the dojo, Kamizumi pointed to the door on the side and said.

Honami, who followed Kazuma in, hurried to the door and opened it to the side.

You can see the buildings of Kagoshima city outside the door, and Kagoshima Bay is a little further away. On the other side of the bay is the famous Sakurajima volcano.

Today's Sakurajima Pass is filled with columnar clouds that look like thick smoke.

Kazuma looked at Sakurajima and couldn't help but ask, "Is that eruption?"

"No, geologists say that the volcano is not active right now." Kamiizumi Zhenggang replied, "But even an active volcano that is not active will smoke like this from time to time. This is also a famous scene in Kagoshima City. "

"Oh" with the horse.

Kamiizumi continued: "So you see, the story in Sakurajima can't be true at all, as long as anyone who has lived in Kagoshima for a while knows it. Art creation is art creation."

According to Masako Kamizumi's statement, "Sakurajima" is still based on his suggestion to put the place where the story takes place on Sakurajima.

He Ma was about to ask him why he suggested this, but Shangquan Zhenggang added: "When I was young, there was no house on this hill, it was all wild. I like to sit here and watch the smoke rise. Sakurajima.

"At that time, I was already the strongest swordsman in Japan. If it were in ancient times, I might have been a guest of Daimyo.

"But in the modern age of cannons and machine guns, martial arts are useless, let alone become a swordsman teacher for a big man, and even the army doesn't want me who can only wield a sword.

"Because no matter how powerful I am, I have hacked to death dozens or hundreds of enemies. The scale of modern warfare is not the same as before, and the casualties of dozens or hundreds of people are not worth mentioning at all.

"During the Russo-Japanese War, there were thousands of casualties a day. Machine guns and artillery were much better than swords in this regard."

He Ma wanted to interrupt, but after looking at the entry on the dying breath above the old man's head, he finally chose to listen honestly.

"And then right here, facing Sakurajima, I suddenly figured it out." Kamizumi just stopped suddenly, watching Sakurajima Volcano fell into silence.

Waiting with Ma for a while, then said, "Senior Shangquan?"

The old man finally regained his senses and waved his hand: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered the scene at that time. In short, that day I suddenly decided to give up the real sword duel that I have been insisting on, join the All Swords Federation, and promote kendo as a fitness sport. ."

He said "oh" with Ma. In fact, he was very curious about how the old man had such a change of mind, but he couldn't easily interrupt the old man's words.

"Since then, more than 60 years have passed. I bought this piece of land and built this small house. When I have nothing to do, I will come back here to see the volcano of Sakurajima." /

"At the same time, I'll swing a real sword here, so that I don't forget the skills I've treasured for the first thirty years of my life."

He Ma looked around the dojo, and suddenly found that the dojo had no knife rests and no swords on display.

"Uh," he couldn't help asking, "I didn't see a sword in this dojo."

"There used to be, but then I took my saber and went to the islands of the South Seas to participate in the war. When I boarded the transport ship back to Japan, I threw the rolled blade into the sea.

"It should belong there."

He Ma glanced at Qingliu, she was carrying Duanshi Qingyu that had been taken out of the sword room on her back, and in her arms was holding the Bizen Nagfune Ichimon Masamune and Murasame who were still in the sword room.

He and Ma Meng asked themselves that they were probably reluctant to throw the famous sword that fought alongside him into the sea.

I can't understand this behavior in my own realm.

Sakurajima went silent again. If it wasn't for the old man's bright eyes, Kazuma would have suspected that he had fallen asleep.

Just as Kazuma was about to speak, the old man sighed: "Looking back now, it was a really good knife. Kanako! Bring the knife here!"

"Come on." The old lady Shangquan entered the dojo with two Japanese knives in her arms, walked up to Zhenggang Shangquan, and shoved the two knives into the old man's hands, "You, you can't be good if you are like this. Are you resting?"

The old lady grumbled, then glanced at the horse.

He Ma felt that the old lady's eyes were saying, "Just stay with him."

So he nodded slightly.

The old lady just turned around and left.

Kamiizumi just handed one of the two knives to Kazuma.

He Ma hurriedly took it over and asked casually, "This knife is..."

"Modern factory-made knife with stainless steel blade."

"Oh" with the horse.

"Why, do you still think it's an ancient knife?"

He Ma smiled awkwardly. He really thought it was some kind of precious ancient knife just now, and he was looking forward to it.

Shangquan Zhenggang continued: "The knives produced by modern technology are actually better than most ancient knives. Many ancient knives are rolled up after a few cuts, and there is no stainless steel that is as durable as stainless steel.

"It's just that knives forged with modern machinery and craftsmanship do not contain the beliefs of craftsmen, so there will be no particularly powerful and famous knives born."

He Ma suddenly had an idea and said, "According to your opinion, the strongest knife should be hand-forged by modern craftsmen with modern technology, isn't it?"

Shigang Kamizumi said with a smile: "Theoretically, it is true. But the things that the swordsmiths I know are not better than the ones produced by the factory. I don't know that modern craftsmen are relatively inept. Or something else."

He Ma raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tamamo who was sitting in the corner.

Is it because the mystery is fading?

Kawama's thoughts were interrupted by Kamizumi just standing up from the wheelchair.

He subconsciously reached out to help, but was stopped by the old man: "Don't move! Take that knife and stand opposite."

He Ma hesitated for a while, but he still let go of his left hand holding the wheelchair handle, and in his right hand held the knife that Shangquan had just handed him, and walked towards the old man.

At the position, he turns to face the old man.

Kamiizumi Masakam didn't look like he was dying at all, standing there full of momentum.

The old man lifted his leg and kicked the wheelchair behind him, then held the knife in front of him, and slowly pulled out the blade.

The shining blade reflects the light of the setting sun outside the dojo.

Just as Kamizumi threw away the scabbard, he flipped his right hand, and the blade was aimed straight at Kazuma.

"Put your knife and let me see how much you can do," he snapped.

The voice fell, and Kazuma heard a loud noise like a muffled thunder behind him. Looking back, he saw a new plume of smoke spewing from the top of Sakurajima volcano in the distance.

What the hell?

The wind picked up, and the wind poured into the dojo from the door, tearing Kazuma's clothes.

Although reason tells Kazuma that an eruption of this magnitude could not have created a strong wind that swept across Kagoshima Bay, the wind was just a coincidence.

But Kazuma still feels that the wind carries the scorching heat of the crater.

Kamiizumi just raised the volume, his voice like a bell: "Draw out your sword, Kiryu and Ma!"

He Ma pursed his lips and silently held the hilt of the sword.

The knife was apparently carefully maintained and pulled out of its scabbard with a gentle force.

He threw the scabbard to Honami, who was closest to him, holding the hilt in both hands, in a mid-section stance.

"Let me explain first," Shangquan Zhenggang grinned, "although this knife does not have an edge, it will cause severe fractures and serious injuries if it is hit."

Stunned with Ma: "Then I can only try not to get hit."

Izumi just started laughing, and then stepped forward——

Kawama originally thought that the swordsman's shot would come to him in the blink of an eye, just like in those cartoons.

He was even a little surprised to see the Juggernaut still obeying the laws of physics.

But seeing clearly is one thing, being able to react is another.

He and Ma Kankan blocked the frontal knife, and the knife almost flew away.

Just at the moment when the blades collided, Shangquan directly raised his backhand one by one, and lifted the knife of Hema up, and flew at the same time.

With this set of clouds and water, Kazuma was kicked and staggered several steps backwards.

"Well, it's really old." Shangquan Zheng just sighed inappropriately, and quickly followed with another sword.

And the horse was unsteady, and this time the block was very reluctant.

But he was impatient, and instead he held a knife in one hand, and his free hand directly grabbed the old man's clothes.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old man's headbutt came.

And the horse was hit with gold stars, and hurriedly took another kick.

"Every part of a real swordsman's body is a weapon," said Masao Kamizumi, "only focusing on the sword is the benevolence and righteousness of competitive kendo."

He Ma took advantage of the old man's lecturing, and recovered his posture and slowed down.

But he knew in his heart that just now the old man didn't preach and continued to attack, and he was in a different place.

So strong, Juggernaut.

He Ma feels that the old man is not using his full strength now, after all, he is dying, but hitting himself is still the same as playing.

Is this the pinnacle of Japanese kendo?

In other words, Uesugi Soichiro is stronger than this?

Thinking of the remnants of the old Japanese army, fighting with the horse is high.

He said loudly, "Senior Shangquan, please continue to enlighten me!"

Shangquan just smiled: "Of course!"

He dashes towards Kazuma again.

Almost at the same time, the muffled sound of the eruption of Sakurajima came from behind Kazuma.

The gust of wind blows from behind, echoing the roaring blade from the front!

This time, Kazuma is still very reluctant to block.

"Too slow!" Shangquan was just shouting, and he was about to put Kazuma's knife on the shelf again.

And the horse directly kicked off first.

Unexpectedly, Juggernaut took a step back and avoided Kazuma's kick. I don't know when the retracted knife slashed horizontally at Kazuma's leg.

He and the horse hurriedly fell backwards, and one rolled back to avoid the knife.

Shangquan was just stepping to keep up with ~IndoMTL.com~, but Kazuma rolled backwards, and after turning over, there was a forward slash.

This knife interrupted Masako Kamizumi's offensive and blocked it.

"Hmph, I don't know where you learned this trick, but it really reminds me of a lot of things." Shangquan Zhenggang said happily.

Yes, elated.

"Very good!" He took two steps back and regained his posture, "You win this round!"

He Ma couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew he didn't win at all, he just dealt with it passively.

Have to attack.
