The original target customers of this villa are people with some assets. For these people, money is not a problem, living comfortably is more important.
Even if the price is reduced, no one will buy the villa here.
The boss was extremely desperate because of the unfinished building, which dragged down his original company.
One day, after drinking a few bottles of wine, he came here alone and jumped from the building.
After his death, the unfinished building was returned to the government. After much consideration, the government felt that the mineral vein was too small and had little development value, and was too close to the city. In the end, they decided to keep it as it was and not mine it.
The previous boss died here, and coupled with rumors of underground radioactive mineral veins, there are almost no buildings and people nearby. Even the city planning in recent years has avoided this place.
This place seems like a paradise forgotten by the world.
Only occasionally a few curious young people come here to explore, but after satisfying their desire for excitement, they leave satisfied and will not stay here.
Therefore, Chaya Tsujiren decided to meet with Yagyu Soichiro here.
This time, Chaya Tsering did not hide anything. He placed the magic sword across his knees and sat in meditation to adjust his state to the best condition.
At this moment, two beams of strong light shone in from the entrance of the ruins, startling the cats and dogs around and causing them to bark non-stop.
A convoy drove into the unfinished building and stopped in the central square.
A man got out from the driver's seat of the leading car in the convoy. It was Takeda, who appeared with Tsuruoka Shizuko a few days ago. Also getting out with him was Tsuruoka Shizuko, who was carrying the Spirit Deer Bow on her back.
Takeda got out of the car and walked to a car in the middle of the convoy. He respectfully opened the door for the person inside, and a middle-aged man in a neat suit got out of the car.
This man looked quite dignified, and he appeared to be only in his forties. It seemed that he was overthinking, and for an extraordinary person at this age, his hair had turned a little gray. This man was none other than Soichiro Yagyu, who had made an appointment with Chaya Tsujin.
As he appeared, the other people in the convoy got out of the car, scattered around, and stood guard with samurai swords in hand.
When Chaya Tsujin saw Yagyu Soichirō show up, along with the dozen or so people accompanying him, he snorted:
"You really came. You are quite brave."
I don't know whether he was talking about Soichirō Yagyu or the human snakehead who dared to smuggle foreign alien leaders into the heart of Northeast China.
Yagyu Soichiro walked in front of the car lights, revealing his figure under the strong light, looking at the dark ruins around him and shouted:
"Chaya-kun, I have been invited here! Please show yourself!"
Chawu Ciren jumped down from the unfinished building, and when he landed, he stirred up a circle of dust on the ground, like a dust flower blooming on the ground.
Seeing Chaya Tsujin appear, Yagyu Soichiro stepped forward and saluted, showing a respectful attitude and speaking in a gentle tone:
"I never thought I would have the honor of meeting Hiko Seijuro of this generation. What an honor."
Hiko Seijuro is the name of the successive inheritors of the Hiten Miken-ryu school.
If the successor of each generation of Fei Tian Yu Jian Liu wants to become a true master, he must fight with his master with real swords and comprehend the Fei Tian Yu Jian Liu's highest skill, Tian Xiang Long Shan, in the moment of life and death.
If the master succeeds, the disciple will die and inherit the title of Hiko Seijuro. If the master fails, the disciple will die. Therefore, the Hiten Yujian Style has always been passed down from generation to generation, which is quite mysterious.
(Except that Kenshin Himura used a reverse blade sword, and although he successfully mastered the Sky-flying Dragon Flash, he did not kill his master.)
When Soichiro Yagyu said this name, he was indicating that he already knew the origin of Chaya Tsujin.
Chawu Tsering neither denied nor admitted:
"Master Yagyu is indeed a man of great family learning. However, how exactly does Master Yagyu want to get the demon sword from me?"
Yagyu Soichiro said: "Chaya-kun, you misunderstood. I know the importance of a good sword to a swordsman. Naturally, I will not easily take away someone's love."
"However, you should have discovered that the demon sword Hirumaru is not suitable for you. This sword is too short and too light for you, isn't it?"
Japanese kendo emphasizes speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, and the Hiten Yuken-ryu is known to be the most ruthless and fastest of all Japanese kendo styles, with every move and every style being swift and domineering.
Therefore, the primary requirement for selecting a successor for the Fei Tian Yu Jian School is that the candidate must have an extremely strong physique, with almost no exceptions.
The demon sword Hirumaru takes the light and agile route. Although it can absorb blood and drive the holder into a frenzy of power, it is not compatible with the Flying Sword Style. The most suitable swords for the Flying Sword Style are long swords and heavy swords that can be used in large swings to overwhelm the opponent with their force.
Therefore, if Chaya Tsujin wants to fully unleash the power of this demon sword, he must spend time adjusting his habits and kendo direction.
Whether it is worth giving up the sword skills that you are good at for an external object is a matter of opinion.
While Soichiro Yagyu and Jiren Chaya were talking, Shizuko Tsuruoka had already tactfully taken out a six-foot-long sword case from the car.
The sword case is made of gold-copper and covered with black lacquer. The corners of the case are decorated with arabesque patterns, and the lacquer surface is also painted with flowing clouds and running animals.
Soichiro Yagyu opened the sword box in Shizuko Tsuruoka's hand and presented the contents to Jiren Chaya.
Just now, I looked at the gold-bronze and black-lacquered Tang cabinet in Tsuruoka Shizuko's hand.
Chawu Ciren already had some guesses about what was in the box, but after actually seeing the sword inside, he was still shocked.
When Yagyu Soichiro saw the surprise on Chaya Tsujin's face, he knew that he had recognized the sword in the box, and he felt relieved. What he feared most was that Chaya Tsujin did not know the value of the sword, and he would have to spend more time explaining it.
"Chaya-kun, I will exchange this Kuretake scabbard sword for the Hirumaru in your hand."
The Kuretake Sheathed Imperial Cane Sword is called a sword, but it is actually a Tang straight sword. It got its name because its appearance resembles a bamboo cane. It was once stored in the Shosoin Repository. It was produced in Wu and was a treasured item of Emperor Shomu of Japan during his lifetime.
The National Treasures Account states: "The blade is two feet and one inch long, with a slanting blade at the tip, gold-engraved in the shape of a star cloud, with a red sandalwood birch sash, silver eyes and handle, purple hanging, Wuzhu bamboo sheath birch, a total length of five feet, three inches and four points, the mouth, cover and tail are made of deer horns, and the tail end is connected with iron, with a green background of Goryeo brocade."
As time passed, the hilt and scabbard of this sword have become worn out, leaving only the blade still brand new.
It is unknown how Soichirō Yagyu obtained the sword from Shosoin and refitted it with a new sword cover, using agarwood as the handle and rosewood as the sheath. He also carved it into the shape of a bamboo stick according to the description in the Treasure Book.
Yagyu Soichiro proudly said to Chaya Tsujin: "I have invited the best swordsmith in Japan to repair this magic weapon."
"The Book of Changes says, Heaven is one, Earth is two, Yang is one, Yin is two."
"But this sword has a blade that is two feet and one inch long, and the ground is in front of the sky. This indicates that once this sword is unsheathed, it will turn the world upside down! Yin and Yang will be reversed!"
Chaya Tsujin looked at the sword and said, "Yagyu-kun just said that the demon sword was too light and too short for me, so why did you give me a shorter and lighter sword?"
Soichiro Yagyu had a confident expression on his face. Without any explanation, he just signaled with his eyes to Chaya Tsujiren to pick up the sword and try it out.
Very heavy.
As soon as Chaya Tsering picked up the sword, he found that it was much heavier than he had imagined, and much heavier than it looked.
Before it was even unsheathed, there was already a faint stream of Gengjin Qi flowing out. He was really surprised that a thousand-year-old sword could still have such power.
Chawu Ciren drew out his sword, the sword was straight with a single blade, and the edge of the blade still shone coldly.
Yagyu Soichiro reminded from the side: "Chawu-kun might as well inject sword energy and give it a try."
Chawu Ciren injected his own sword energy into it, and the sword body became longer with the sound of wind and thunder, and turned into a three-foot long sword.
Our ancestors had three feet of water in their box, and they once went into Wutan to slay the dragon.
Chapter 78 Gathering Storm
The blade of Wuzhu's scabbard sword is covered with stars and auspicious clouds.
Chawu Ciren curiously tapped the sword with his fingers, making a sound of metal and stone colliding. This was not a Qi blade condensed by the method of transformation, but a real physical sword.
The Wuzhushao Imperial Staff Knife itself carries the Gengjin Qi, which can be used as a guide to condense platinum-colored Gengjin evil spirit. Even a child who does not know how to circulate Qi can cut stones and jade with the Wuzhushao Imperial Staff Knife.
For a skilled swordsman like Chaya Tsering, it is even more powerful.
Even Chawu Ciren couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a great trick. It can actually produce a sword blade out of thin air. It can be called a miracle."
Yagyu Soichirō handed the empty box to Takeda, who was waiting beside him. Hearing Chaya Tsujin's sigh, he chanted:
"It means to combine the one Yang with the two Yin, and to repeat them in order, and you will get the three of heaven, earth and man."
Chaya Ciren put the Wuzhu scabbard sword back into the sheath. The scabbard, which was only more than two feet long, could completely accommodate the three-foot sword body.
The sword is short when in the sheath, making it easier to draw the sword. After being fully unsheathed, the sword becomes longer and can be transformed into a long sword, allowing Chaya Tsujin's swordsmanship to reach its peak.
Soichiro Yagyu really didn't lie to him, this sword really suits his swordsmanship very well.
What a grand gesture, Chawu Ciren secretly sighed. Although the status of the Wuzhu Shaoyuzhangdao is not as high as that of the demon sword Hirumaru, which is regarded as the most vicious sword in the world, it can also be regarded as one of the best magic weapons.
Soichiro Yagyu used this sword to exchange for the demon sword Hirumaru, so it can't really be said that he suffered a loss.
Yagyu Soichiro said confidently: "How about it, is the Kuretake Sheathed Staff Sword more suitable for your kendo?"
Chaya Tsujin did not comment, and Yagyu Soichiro continued:
"Not only that, as long as Chaya-kun agrees to go back to Japan with me and join the Yagyu family, I can even make you the second-in-command of the Yagyu family and recommend you to join the Fish Dragon Society."
"If you are willing, I am willing to let you be engaged to my only daughter and beloved son. When I am old, you will be the head of the Yagyu Ryu."
Unexpectedly, Soichiro Yagyu actually planned to kill everyone.
A few days ago, after receiving a report from Tsuruoka Shizuko, Yagyu Soichiro realized that Chaya Tsujin's strength could be regarded as the strongest among the younger generation of Japan.
In Japan, let alone the younger generation, even among the foreign and powerful people in the famous towns of Japan, few can fight against Liu Kunsheng.
At that time, the priest of Hegang Hachiman Shrine, armed with the magical weapon Linglu Bow that could restrain immortals, was unable to do anything to Liu Kunsheng. If he had not been unable to resist the situation alone, the battle in Northeast China might have had to be rewritten.
And Chawu Ciren was able to hold the magic sword and escape from Liu Kunsheng twice. In time, Chawu Ciren might be able to surpass Liu Kunsheng.
Yagyu Soichiro would naturally not let go of such a genius. Seeing Chaya Tsujin's hesitation, Yagyu Soichiro struck while the iron was hot:
"Come and join me. Ishikawa Nobuyuki is already old. After hearing the news that the demon sword appeared in the world, he didn't even dare to send people to the Northeast Region to check, and he even had to inquire about the news from Nadutong."
"There is also the bearing of the Japanese samurai leader. There is also the fact that if I become the president of the Fish Dragon Society, I will definitely make Japan stand at the top and regain its glory."
Chaya Tsering raised an eyebrow, "Standing at the top? Do you want to start a war?"
"If the time is right, why not? A real man should carry a three-foot sword and accomplish unprecedented feats!" said Soichiro Yagyu defiantly.
Listening to his words, Tsuruoka Shizuko and Takeda beside him, as well as the Yagyu family members who were guarding on the side, all had faces full of conviction and enthusiasm, and it seemed that they all believed in his words.
Looking at this scene, Chawu Ciren thought to himself: He is resourceful, generous, and good at inciting people's emotions. He is truly a hero.
That's true. It would be a pity if such a big plan was set up and only a mediocre person was attracted.
Meow,
A palm-sized tabby kitten jumped out from the corner of the unfinished building and meowed at Tsering in the teahouse.
A member of the Yagyu family holding a samurai sword found the cat's barking annoying, so he waved the sword in an unsheathed attempt to drive the wild cat away.
The wild cat actually dodged his knife nimbly, but even though it was attacked, it did not leave.
In the dim corners, there were several fireflies flickering like stars. Those were the wild cats and dogs surrounding them from all directions.
Stray cats and dogs outdoors rarely attack humans because it is not cost-effective for them.
The unusual movement outside caught the attention of Yagyu Soichiro. Looking at the beasts surrounding him, he said solemnly:
"Everyone, be alert! These wild cats and dogs are not behaving properly. There may be a beastmaster controlling them from behind."
