Chapter 80 Destiny
Matsudaira Motoyasu had a hearty smile on his face, and after waiting for a while, he saw Hattori Hanzo walking back to him, shaking his head with a strange expression.

"That Your Excellency seems to be practicing some kind of swordsmanship. He has been standing in the yard without moving. I watched it for a quarter of an hour. He has always been like this, and he has not made any other movements...Young Master, look?"

After briefly and concisely describing what happened, the ninja with a strange face subconsciously asked his loyal Patriarch for advice.

"Wait——Hanzo, what are you talking about? He's practicing swordsmanship? And he's not moving?" The corner of Matsudaira Motoyasu's mouth twitched. She couldn't bring these two things together anyway. Lenovo.

Swordsmanship is one of the most popular martial arts skills that warriors must master, so she also knows it.She can understand that the opponent chooses to practice swordsmanship, but no matter how she recalls what she has seen in the past or even hearsay, she still thinks that movements such as chopping, cutting and stabbing are the basis of swordsmanship, which can be said to be the same for any genre.

The only thing I haven't heard of is any swordsmanship that needs to be practiced without moving?
Could it be that this is accumulating experience points while hanging up? !
Or does it mean that as long as this is done, the enemy will definitely lose his head and bump into the sword edge, and die because of it? !
Wait, how is such a ridiculous thing possible? Even if the opponent is suspected to be from the ancient kingdom of heaven on the other side of the sea, with a long history and a long history, there shouldn't be such an unreasonable school of swordsmanship, right?
"Let's go take a look!"

After making a decision, the two quickly went to the entrance of the long house.And seeing the arrival of Matsudaira Motoyasu, the big man who often accompanied the king, the ashigaru soldiers who were still discussing in full swing hurried back to their original posts, clenched the spears in their hands, and put on a devotion to their duties. appearance.

Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't intend to find fault in this aspect, she just carefully glanced outside the door, and she saw it right away——

The strangely dressed boy closed his eyes, held a knife in both hands, and stood there quietly, motionless.

The sun shone down, and it seemed that the air was quiet for a while.

"...!!"

Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was about to continue to walk in, just took a step inside the door, and then saw the brow of the boy who had been quietly closing his eyes suddenly raised slightly.So she felt a palpitation for no reason, as if something that would send a chill down her spine was about to happen.

Before she realized what was going on, she felt a strong force pulling her back, but Hattori Hanzo blocked her in an instant!
Immediately after that, at the next moment, an unprecedented, cold and sharp aura erupted in front of him!

Although it is difficult to explain in words, as long as you concentrate, you can feel it.

……

……

Mu Xiu felt a little irritable. Although there was no change on the surface, he didn't even open his eyes.

But this does not mean that he can really accept such a development calmly——

Breathing method: the realm of cutting iron!

How ridiculous is it that such an advanced swordsmanship skill exchanged for it is only at the level of C, but it can't be quickly mastered by myself in the first place?
Anyway, for him who is completely used to the setting of "As long as it is a skill and enhancement below B level, he who has liberated the second stage of the restricted life zone will definitely be able to fully master it in a very short period of time", this is simply not good. Reasonable development.It is unscientific, it is not magical, it should not be done, and it violates the Basic Law.

However, no matter how annoyed he was, he couldn't master and comprehend this sword skill for him.

Therefore, Mu Xiu could only suppress the slightly irritated feeling, concentrate on discarding distracting thoughts, concentrate, and try hard to recall the memory experience instilled in his mind by the "Lord God", trying to make his state as close to that as possible. A mysterious and mysterious feeling.

At the beginning, it was not easy, but he did not believe that a C-level skill was so difficult. If he couldn't master it immediately, either he hadn't found the real trick, or he was "the main god" ” went wrong and gave the wrong advice. ——Anyway, that's what he thinks.

So, Mu Xiu stood abruptly from the early morning until the sun rose, and stood there for more than an hour.

Slowly, when distracting thoughts became less and less, and his spiritual will was fully implemented on that breathing method, he noticed a subtle change.

For example, he obviously had his eyes closed, and in order to hear the so-called "breath of all things" more accurately, he even temporarily turned off the ability of electromagnetic wave positioning, only his innate perception and arrogance still functioned.However, everything around him was gradually outlined in his mind, gradually becoming clearer.

He could sense the awe, envy, or complicated gazes of the people outside the door. At the same time, the surrounding environment seemed to be extraordinarily quiet, and all the noise between the world and the earth seemed to be fading away quickly. , In the end, only the sound of my own heartbeat was left.

The voice of all things does exist, at least at this moment, Mu Xiu did hear it—the so-called breath of all things.

Stones, trees, land, these belong to all things, as does the knife in my hand, they are expressing their own existence with a certain "breathing", and those living objects outside the door that can walk and move, Then it expresses its existence with this special sound from the body.

In an instant, he seemed to be aware of everything, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he was about to grasp the key to the Iron Slashing Realm.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly stepped in from outside the door, disturbing the independent environment in this small courtyard.

In an instant, the surrounding wind, sound, vibration, etc., etc., these strange rhythms and rhythms, the so-called breathing of all things, quickly weakened in Mu Xiu's perception. He knew this extraordinary The sensory experience is about to be interrupted!

There is no room for thought.

Relying on his own instinct and sixth sense, he directly took a step forward in the direction where the "variable" appeared. The silent Hasebe Kunisho waved in the air, as natural as breathing and blood, but so cruel It directly brought out a sword light like a horse training!
The sounds of "噗嗤" sounded one after another. To Mu Xiu's own hand, it seemed that he had simply cut a few thin sheets of paper.

Not to say there is no resistance, but...it is really very weak.

When he opened his eyes again, what caught his eyes was a murderous black-clothed man blocking the door, except for the slightly dazzling sunlight. The body, as well as the confident and fearless eyes, all show that he is not an ordinary person.

There is also a girl like a civet cat who cautiously sticks her head out behind the other party.

"..."

Mu Xiu showed them a very warm smile, and from the corner of his eyes, he quickly found several cross shurikens on the surrounding ground. They were all very well-made, but they had been split into two halves by the moment. .What's more, there is only half of the rib gap left in the hand of the man in black, and the cut is also smooth and neat.

He looked at Hasebe Kunisho in his hand, and found that the thin blade was still intact.

Without the blessing of any special ability, just cut the steel with steel...

So, Mu Xiu still didn't feel angry when he was almost interrupted by this "epiphany".

Because he had already succeeded the moment he slashed the knife, not only had he fully mastered the "basic swordsmanship mastery" that he had exchanged before, but he had also entered a field of cutting iron like mud.

……

……

Okazaki Castle.

Surrounded by low houses, there are narrow streets at the foot.

"Ahem, may I ask, why did you come to ask me to discuss matters today?" Mu Xiu didn't feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction because of the cold attitude of the ninja named Hattori Hanzo next to him. Asked Matsudaira Motoyasu who was leading the way half a step ahead.

"I remember that the messengers came over directly a few days ago, but today I was asked to inform me... Did something important happen?"

Stopping Hattori Hanzo's angry gaze with her eyes, Matsudaira Motoyasu seemed to always have that iconic hearty smile on her face, and she also didn't realize that she was almost cut in half with a knife just now. As if nothing happened:

"According to Master Yiyuan's order, this time I am not here to inform you to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters. Please follow me this way."

Huh?Mu Xiu's eyes flickered slightly when he realized that this civet cat-like girl was not leading him to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

He remained calm on the surface, glanced at Hattori Hanzo who had been glaring at him, and then asked in a very natural tone: "Then what's going on? Where are we going?"

Matsudaira Motoyasu added: "You made military achievements before, and now Lord Yoshimoto rewards you and promotes you to become an ashigaru general. Now you can choose two to five ashigaru leaders yourself, and lead a team of one hundred ashigaru Soldier...I'm just taking you to get acquainted with the barracks first, and the march will start tomorrow, so you need to make preparations in advance."

"Oh, so that's how it is...wait!" The young man subconsciously relaxed, but immediately realized something was wrong, "What did you just say? What march?"

The black-bellied civet girl hesitated for a moment, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Master Yoshimoto has already mobilized the Imagawa family to sweep the country, and has assembled [-] troops. Let's set off and mobilize all the military power of the Imagawa family to attack the Owari family of the Oda family..."

"..." The expression on Mu Xiu's face froze instantly.

Seeing this, Matsudaira Motoyasu quickly explained: "Don't worry, the Oda family only has four or five thousand troops, and our Imagawa Army has an overwhelming advantage, so the ultimate goal of Yoshimoto-sama's mobilization is not just Owari Oda, but It's Shangluo, you don't have to worry too much—"

asshole!I know her purpose is to go to Luo, but that's why I'm worried!

Mu Xiu was taken aback, then forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.He remembered that in the original book, Yoshimoto Imagawa, the eldest lady, failed in the tentative battle against Owari. Immediately after a week later, she mobilized all her troops to prepare for Shangluo, and then triggered the "Okazama cooperation" battle" plot.

Looking at it now, although the previous joint battle was won due to my own reasons, it seems that this lady does not plan to make any adjustments to the strategy at all... But it is also true, even if you lose the battle, you can directly sweep the Oda family. Shangluo, now that she has won the battle, why would she have any scruples?

However, does this mean that I have just been leisurely for a few days, and I will re-enter the life of exile in various countries and no fixed place so quickly?

At this moment, a certain cold reminder sounded in the boy's ear.
