Great Swordsman Ke Xue

"Please sit here for a while. I am playing chess with an old friend. I hope you will forgive me if I am negligent."

The kind-looking old monk does seem to make people subconsciously convinced.

Kouji Shimizu was very surprised that their temporary visit was so simple and easy. He thought that it would be difficult to meet this old Zen master with 108 years of practice experience. Unexpectedly, they were invited in directly after just knocking on the door.

Moreover, this old monk did not look like he was over 100 years old.

The friend of Master Yixin was an old man with a goatee, who looked old. The old man with a goatee ignored Koji Shimizu and Shizuka Hattori. When Master Yixin sat back, the two continued to play Go on the tatami.

What made Koji Shimizu concerned was that after Shizuka Hattori walked into the room, he seemed to be stupid and absent-minded.

At one point, Shimizu Koji thought that Master Isshin had used some magic, but when he tried to wave in front of Shizuka Hattori, Shizuka Hattori glared at him fiercely and slapped him on the wrist.

So fierce.

Shimizu Koji glared back without hesitation, but his eyes subconsciously stayed on Shizuka Hattori's chest for a second, and that second, he was glared at again.

But Shimizu Koji didn't mean it at all, it was just the instinct of the body, he had seen everything, although Shizuka Hattori was indeed very big, but she was only comparable to Hongye.

But in the end, he was in the wrong in this matter, and Shimizu Koji didn't bother Shizuka Hattori anymore.

"Is that Master Isshin?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the other one too?"

Shimizu Koji pointed at the old man with a goatee, but Shizuka Hattori stretched out his hand to block his action.

"Don't be rude, this is--"

"It's Jinghua. Long time no see."

Just when Hattori Shizuka was about to get to the point, the old man with a goatee interrupted her in time. It was unknown whether the other party did it on purpose, but it did attract the attention of Hattori Shizuka and Shimizu Koji at the same time.

"Senior Yagyu, sorry to bother you."

"Ah, nothing, I just happened to have a whim to play a few games with this old guy."

The current Hattori Shizuka is completely different from the dignified and elegant, fierce and cold image before. The current Hattori Shizuka looks like a.

Good girl?

Shimizu Koji knew it was strange to use such words to describe a mature woman like Hattori Shizuka, but this was indeed his true feeling.

Hattori Shizuka, with her head down and a look of respect from the bottom of her heart, looked like a girl who was as excited as seeing her idol.

This made Shimizu Koji even more curious about the identity of the old man with a goatee.

Shimizu Koji looked at the old man with a goatee curiously, and when he looked over, he just saw that the old man with a goatee, who looked very impressive, took advantage of the time to talk and swept his hand across the chessboard as fast as lightning.

Hmm.?

Shameless!

"He stole the chess pieces!"

"Ah?!" Hattori Shizuka was shocked.

The old man with a goatee also changed his face suddenly, and stared at Shimizu Koji with a dignified look. It was Master Isshin who was the calmest. Well, Shimizu Koji thought he might be used to it, thinking of their ages.

Master Isshin chanted a Buddhist name and looked at the old man with a goatee steadily. The old man with a goatee glared at Shimizu Koji, turned his head, and moved his lips, seeming to be very unconvinced, but finally took out a chess piece from his pocket and put it back on the chessboard.

"Ryunosuke, my chess piece was not here before."

"It is here."

"I won't remember it wrong." Master Isshin shook his head lightly.

And Yagyu Ryunosuke's face was stiff. He looked at the chessboard, then at Isshin Zen Master's face, and then slapped his thigh very simply, "No more."

"What are you doing? Don't pinch me. Hey, don't pinch me, do you hear me? If you do that again, I will fight back."

"Can't he say that he cheated by stealing chess?!"

Yagyu Ryunosuke and Isshin Zen Master turned around and saw that the two people who were sitting upright on the tatami were reaching out to each other and pinching each other's thighs.

Hatsube Shizuka was so angry. She hadn't been so angry for many years, but at that moment, Shimizu Koji said something, and her whole worldview seemed to be impacted.

He, how dare he!

I was so angry that Hattori Shizuka simply reached out and pinched Shimizu Koji's thigh. Shimizu Koji did it on purpose just now, because his strength allowed him to ignore the rules and be cynical. He simply couldn't stand this pretentious old man, so he shouted out.

But being pinched on the thigh by Shizuka Hattori was totally unexpected. Of course, he quickly realized that Shizuka Hattori might know the old man, but what did it have to do with her pinching his thigh? After repeated statements, Shizuka Hattori still didn't let go, so Shimizu Koji simply pinched her back.

Yagyu Ryunosuke was silent, and the compassionate Isshin Zen Master was also a little embarrassed.

Shizuka Hattori was completely mad. After all, that was the sword saint, the only sword saint in Japan. Shimizu Koji, who she brought, was like this.

For a moment, Shizuka Hattori felt as if she was ten years younger, back to that summer, that high school girlhood, that time when she wanted to chop those mean boys to pieces.

But she didn't have a knife in her hand now, so she could only pinch hard.

"Ahem, Shizuka."

The voice of Yagyu Ryunosuke was like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of Shizuka Hattori, who was already a little dizzy.

Shizuka Hattori came back to her senses, as if she just realized what she had just done, and withdrew her hand like a shy girl who found out that she had done something wrong.

But she was not shy at all, and she was still glaring at Shimizu Koji the moment she withdrew her hand, because Shimizu Koji had not let go.

Finally, after a minute of silent negotiation and confrontation, Shimizu Koji and Shizuka Hattori temporarily reached an out-of-court settlement.

"This is Mr. Yagyu Ryunosuke."

"Oh."

Oh is it over? ! Shizuka Hattori turned back and glared at Shimizu Koji again.

But Shimizu Koji didn't know any Yagyu Ryunosuke, and Yagyu Ryunosuke was somewhat dissatisfied with Shimizu Koji's attitude.

However, when he and Master Isshin approached and sat opposite Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka, he looked at Shimizu Koji and suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Hey, you little guy, have you entered the Dao?!"

Entering the Dao? It sounds a bit bluffing at first, but Shimizu Koji learned from Tetsu Michiko that the so-called entering the Dao is just to understand the sword heart and enter the kendo for the first time.

Shimizu Koji nodded without comment, Yagyu Ryunosuke stroked his beard, and his face looked much better, while Hattori Shizuka on the side didn't look surprised, because she had received the news from Tetsu Michiko before.

However, Tie Michiko only told her that Shimizu Koji had officially entered the practice of kendo, but did not tell her the specific realm of Shimizu Koji. If she knew that Shimizu Koji had mastered the sword intent early and even headed towards the realm of swordsman, she would probably not have this expression.

Of course, even the realm of swordsmanship is a thing of the past for Shimizu Koji now. After Shimizu Koji's Sharingan breakthrough, even Tie Michiko still doesn't know how far Shimizu Koji's real strength has reached.

"Not bad, not bad, you entered the Dao at a young age. In the past few years, I have only seen one person who has reached this level at your age."

"Oh? Are you a high school student like me?" Shimizu Koji asked curiously.

He would not take the initiative to show his strength, but he also cared about the young man that Yagyu Ryunosuke said. He has countless world buffs, but others don't.

In this world with poor spiritual power, young people who can step into practice at a young age are indeed worthy of attention.

"He is just the successor of Okita Souji's generation. He is different from ordinary young people like you. Compared with him, you should have more potential." Yagyu Ryunosuke said shamelessly.

Regardless of what Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka felt, he continued to say, "It's rare to meet a young gem like you. I'm old and always want to do something for kendo. How about you, young guy, become my disciple?"

Yagyu Ryunosuke certainly didn't do it on a whim. Oh, it was also a whim. He had a hunch the first time he saw Shimizu Koji that this young man was very different.

His intuition made him make this decision.
