Chengsheng City, the teahouse in the courtyard of benwan.

This tea room, which is less than three and a half stacks, is very narrow and compact. People can't stand straight when sitting in it, otherwise their head will touch the roof.

Li Xiaoli, holding tea in her right hand, brushes the tea end in the tea bowl very lightly, and the small skylight above his head just shows a autumn sun, and lazily falls in the tea room.

In the tea room, Li Xiao rubbed the edge of the bowl with tea in his hand, making a rhythmic rustling sound, but revealing a Zen like tranquility.

Soon after, Li Xiao stopped the action in his hand, put the tea bowl in his hand and handed his hands to the center of himself and Suzuki.

After that, Li Xiao turned his knees and was sitting facing Kazuki Kawakami. He stretched out his hand and said, "Lord yishishou, please have tea!"

Suzuki Koizumi nodded slightly, took up the tea bowl with both hands, held it in his hands, slowly rotated it three times, and then gently smelled the aroma of tea.

Just as Shangquan Xingang was about to drink the tea, Li Xiao suddenly said, "Lord yishishou, aren't you afraid of me poisoning the tea?"

Hearing Li Xiao's words, kazuoka paused slightly, then a smile appeared on his face, and still took a sip of the tea bowl to his mouth.

From this point of view, Li Xiao saw that shingang Shangquan was wearing a white plain coat, and his eyebrows and beard were already gray, adding a lot of vicissitudes to the color compared with three years ago.

However, his movements were still calm, and his fearsome right hand had distinct bone joints. No matter he picked up and put down the tea bowl, there was no superfluous movement.

"Good tea powder!"

Shangquan Xingang put down the tea bowl and said in a deep voice, "but Lord Ma Shou's tea art is very skilled, even not inferior to the tea man."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "thank you for your appreciation. The tea ceremony is just a pastime for me. It's only used for fun in my spare time."

Shingang Shangquan shook his head and said, "but Mr. Ma Shou, tea ceremony is not a way of entertainment. Have you heard the name of qianzongyi?"

Li Xiao nodded and thought: when he played Taige 5 and drank tea to cheat cards, he had already heard about it.

A look of remembrance flashed in his eyes and said, "four years ago, when I went to visit the late Gongfang hall in Luo, I passed by his teahouse and went in for a meeting. Until today, I still can't forget the scene that he ordered tea for me."

After a pause, Kazuki said, "he once said that the real tea ceremony is just to boil water and order tea. How to make the tea room cool in summer and warm in winter, carbon should be put properly, which is conducive to boiling water and delicious tea."

After listening and thinking for a while, Li Xiao suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "this is not only the tea ceremony, but also the truth of life!"

After a pause, Li Xiao said with some feeling: "the so-called perfection of skills is the Tao. Thousands of tea art are easy to understand, which has reached the peak and is close to the Tao."

Shingang Shangquan nodded and said, "it's true that different paths lead to the same goal. Whether it's Kendo or tea ceremony, the ultimate practice exists for the pursuit of the final 'Tao'. However, the world is stupid and deviates from the track. Those who learn Kendo are for killing, while those who learn tea ceremony are for being artful, which deviates from the original foundation."

After a pause, Mr. Kazuki said, "excuse me, Mr. Ma Shou, what are you studying guns for and where are you pursuing Tao?"

Li Xiao looked at Suzuki and thought, well, do you want to suppress me in words and attack my confidence first?

Just as before the Yanliu Island duel, Miyamoto Musashi first suppressed Sasaki Kojiro with words, Miyamoto Musashi hit the other party's confidence and won again.

This is also a common means of Japanese martial arts before the duel.

Suzuki's statement is like putting forward the standard of Tao, which makes Li Xiao discuss. If Li Xiao doesn't have a better refutation, he can only agree with his point of view. In this way, Li Xiao will lose before the decisive battle.

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "it's very simple. In order to protect himself, for his own life, and to protect what he cherishes."

Hearing his speech, shingang Shangquan was slightly disappointed and said, "but Lord Ma Shou, isn't it too narrow? Is it thousands of miles away? It's a long way to go."

Li xiaoha smiled, but suddenly said, "Lord Shangquan, what is the Tao? Isn't it the most important thing in everyone's mind? So different people have different people's Tao, just as Lord Shangquan has Lord Shangquan's Tao, and I Li Xiao has Li Xiao's Tao. Why should Shangquan belittle the lower Tao with the Tao they understand?"

"Are you thinking the same as me? Just as master qianzongyi pursues his own Tao and eventually becomes the ultimate, close to the Tao and a generation of masters, if we pursue the Tao in master qianzongyi's mind and ignore his own inner Tao, this is the real deviation."

Kazuki's eyes flashed, and Li Xiao's words stunned him for a moment.

Suzuki did not argue with Li Xiao. He seemed to express his feelings and said, "you're right."

On the contrary, when he said this, he made Li Xiao a little stunned. His self admission was tantamount to admitting Li Xiao's theory and his own mistake.

Didn't he just want to beat his determination to fight a decisive battle?

Or did he come here with no intention of dueling with me?

Li Xiao thought of this and suddenly his body shook.

Suzuki looked out of the window. Xu Yan said, "when I taught Xiuyin swordsmanship, he was about your age. At that time, I taught him swordsmanship in the hope that he could have the same ultimate swordsmanship as me. Unfortunately, he didn't understand what I meant. He held a sword and competed with people everywhere. Finally, he was seriously injured and died in the war with home."

Li Xiao suddenly remembered that Shangquan Xiuyin was meeting with him and had a competition with Shigang Yiyu. In his speech, Mr. Shangquan said that the war with rijianjia was the second war between the Beitiao family and rijianjia two years ago.

Shangquan Xiuyin died of serious injury in the war, which made Shangquan Xingang suffer the pain of losing his son.

"The same is true of the Gongfang hall and Yesheng Gong. I have a peerless sword skill in Shangquan Xingang, which is close to the extreme of kendo. But what's the use? Even my son, disciple and Lord can't be saved. This is really the pain of life!"

Speaking of this, kazuoka could not help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Lord Shangquan, please forgive me." Li Xiao could only comfort.

In the face of Li Xiao's consolation, Kazuki stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I've lost my manners."

After a pause, Mr. Koizumi said, "thank you for your hospitality."

With that, he bowed to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao also reciprocated.

After walking out of the teahouse, shingang Shangquan delivered a speech to Li Xiao, saying: "when I meet with you, my wish has been fulfilled. In the future, I will travel all over the world, sharpen my heart and teach the new Yin flow Kendo, so maybe we won't see each other again in the future."

Li Xiao also knew that he was wrong. He didn't come here to fight with himself.

After the demise of the master's family, this peerless swordsman was no longer the principle of killing people that day.

He is also open to everything and does not want to win or lose. What he thought in his heart was to pass on Yin Liu Kendo as a skill, so that more people could find their own way from kendo.

Such a narrow-minded view is the real master's bearing.

It was precisely because of shingang uezuki that he carried forward the Yin flow of the transfer of incense Zhai in aizhou, making it one of the three sources of Japanese art of war.

Shangquan Xingang innovated his own Yin flow. His disciples, Tian wenwulang, Liu shengzongyan, and Zongzhi, the empress of God, all inherited his swordsmanship and formed their own schools.

Among them, Liu Shengzong's strict Liu Shengxin Yin flow is the most famous.

The bamboo bag Sabre invented by shingang Shangquan and his disciples reduced the risk of injury when more Kendo practitioners practiced swordsmanship in future generations.

Suzuki Koizumi finally realized his ambition, and his Kendo has been inherited to the modern times.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but respect each other and said, "Lord Shangquan, please take care. If you have leisure, please come to Chengsheng city as a guest."

Suzuki nodded and strode away.

At this moment, Li Xiao and his family officials all stand here with a knife.

Shimao shengmeng, shioka Yiyu, kiyoichiro and others all have heavy faces, while other family ministers don't have a good face. From time to time, they turn their heads and look at Peitian wenwulang standing with negative hands. Their eyes show a trace of hostility.

"Why hasn't the Lord come out after he's been there for so long? Do you want someone to go in and check it out?" Da Zang Chang'an said in a voice.

His remark was immediately echoed by several family ministers.

"No," said Ben duozheng, but stopped and said, "you are not concerned about the Lord, but against the Lord's order. You didn't hear the Lord's order just now. When you went in, no one is allowed to enter this pill without his order?"

Da Zang Chang'an has always been at odds with bendo Zhengxin. Hearing what the other party said, he sneered and said, "Lord bendo and shingang Shangquan have been in for a long time. According to reason, the competition for a long time has ended. Isn't that worrying?"

Ben duozhengxin snorted coldly and said, "Lord Tibet, if you want to go against the Lord's will, you can go in and have a look."

"You," said da Zang Chang'an with a sneer, "sure enough, the first treacherous minister in our family is Lord BENDUO."

Honda looked sideways at Da Zang Chang'an and said, "Da Zang, speak carefully."

Just when Ben duozhengxin was tit for tat with Da Zang Chang'an, the door of this pill had been opened.

All the ministers stared at the door of this pill together. They were relieved to see Li Xiao walking out of the door unharmed.

"Meet your Lord."

More than 20 Li Xiaojia ministers bowed down in front of the gate of this pill.

Li Xiao waved his hand and motioned to the family ministers not to be polite.

And shingang Shangquan also said to Li Xiao, "but Lord Ma Shou, I'm leaving."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Lord Shangquan, please take care."

Seeing this, Li Xiao's family officials were all surprised and wondered if the LORD had just dueled with this man from time to time? Why do you look like a good friend? What happened.

Then, shingang Shangquan and Wulang Tianwen left benmaru and left Chengsheng city without obstruction.

Li Xiao looked at the back of Suzuki and thought a little.

At this time, Shigang Yiyu, one of the ministers of the Li Xiao family, couldn't help but ask, "Lord, who won the competition between you and Shangquan yishishou?"

Hearing Shigang Yiyu's question, Li Xiao smiled and made no comment.

But the family ministers were confused for a while.

"Who won?"

Not only the family ministers, but also the swordsmen and ronins in the lower town of Liancheng Shengcheng also had this question when they saw that Nobuyasu ueizumi came out of Chengsheng City unharmed.

Everyone came forward to ask about the results of the competition, but Suzuki also smiled and didn't even tell Wu Lang Tian.

At the beginning, the duel between kazuoka and Li Xiao attracted the attention of people all over the world, including Kazuki uesuga, Takeda Xinxuan, Yoshihiro weada, Tokugawa Jiakang and kitaoshi Kang.

They all sent the top ninjas to Chengsheng city to inquire about the news.

However, these ninjas did not enter the heavily guarded City, so there was no way to know the result of the duel.

All the information was sealed and neither party spoke.

Therefore, the result of this competition has become a big mystery, which makes countless people in the world puzzling and guessing.

Among them, there are all kinds of speculation about the duel. Some say that Shangquan xingangsheng, others say that Li Xiaosheng, and others say that the contest was a tie.

Some people think that one of these two people must win, but the other one wants to save face, so please don't tell the other about the result.

In the city, the competition between Li Xiao and shingang Shangquan has been enriched and derived into countless versions.

One of the most believable versions is that when the battle between the two is about to be divided, a woman enters the scene and interrupts the process of the competition at the cost of her own suicide.

And this woman is the one Li Xiao and Suzuki Koizumi love most.

All kinds of discord and rivalry between the two are also caused by women.

When the woman died, they hugged her body and wept with each other, shedding heroic tears. Finally, they all woke up and decided to make peace with each other and no longer fight with their lives.

As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately occupied the mainstream market. Even Chengsheng city spread the rumor that they saw Li Xiao and Shangquan Xingang go up the mountain to worship in front of a woman's grave in the middle of the night.

I see. Suddenly, the truth came out.

Believe it or not, people have different opinions.

After the city was born and the city was separated, Shangquan Xingang traveled all over the world and taught people sword and war skills. He became more and more famous and attracted the admiration of countless martial artists.

Li Xiao's fame has also increased greatly, but compared with what he will do in Feili and Yuezhong in the future, this fight with shingang Shangquan is just a small episode.

With the passage of time, the rumors of the duel have gradually subsided, and no one will pay more attention.

At this time, inadvertently, it was far away in Kajima, Changlu country in Kanto.

On Kagoshima, there is the Kagoshima shrine, which is known as one of the three major shrines in the East, together with Xiqi shrine and xiangqu shrine.

Outside the temple, the courtyard was deep, and from time to time there was a unified cry.

And an insignificant dojo is located here.

Now nearly 80 years old, bu Chuan tsuhara is concentrating on teaching young disciples to use Kagoshima shindang as a flow sword.

At this time, a disciple hurried to suzuhara and reported the duel between Shangquan Xingang and Li Xiao.

After hearing this, tsuhara Bu Chuan stopped for a long time and finally said, "I really want to be 20 years younger." (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly votes at Qidian. Com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
