I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile.

　　 She is still a little confident about her physical fitness.

　　 Although there was a little breeze on Lantern Mountain yesterday Saturday, it was just a little trouble after all, and it shouldn’t rise to the point of catching a cold.

　　 After getting the guarantee from Shiraito, Keiko Kandaji's expression eased.

　　 Just now, Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji had temporarily ended their topic about Lantern Mountain, and started discussing kendo.

This time in Lantern Mountain, Bai Shuiqiu used Xuezou and Guiqie one after another, especially when fighting the three monks controlled by the [Confusion Mind], because the opponent and herself are both humans, so her mentality is the same. When dealing with monsters, there was a slight change, and I subconsciously regarded that battle as an actual combat training.

　　 It was true at the beginning...

However, because the consciousness of the three monks was controlled by the evil cultivator, their actions were too harsh, and they were not exhausted at all, so Bai Shuiqiu quickly became dangerous under the siege of the three, or because of the timely use of what he was good at "Xia Ji’s Eight Cuts" was able to relieve the siege...

　　 But in that battle, she still saw and thought of a lot of things, and she also had a little understanding of the content that Keiko Kamishiro taught before.

　　 When talking to Keiko Kandaji at this time, the girl frowned slightly, seeming to think for a while:

　　 "Listen to Xiaoqiu, what those monks used should be a one-sword technique."

"Oh?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: Can this be heard too?

She has heard from Keiko Kamidai from the previous kendo teachings that there are a large number of kendo schools in Japan, but more than 80% of the kendo schools can be included in the three most important schools. It is the one-sword flow, the shinto flow, and the yin flow.

　　 Among these, the one with the longest spread time and the largest number of disciples is the one-sword style.

　　 The core idea of ​​this genre is to "kill the enemy with one blow."

　　 To put it bluntly, it means to quickly chop the enemy to the ground before the enemy counterattacks. The aggressiveness is quite obvious.

In comparison, the Katori Shinto-ryu mastered by Keiko Kamishiro was actually an armored art of war at the beginning, that is, the sword technique derived from the armor worn on the body during the marching war, and it is more about opening and closing. There is not so much emphasis on explosive power and speed.

　　 Of course, not emphasizing, does not mean not paying attention.

　　 After all, almost all Japanese swordsmanship genres are murderous swordsmanship derived from the battlefield. The difference between the various genres is just the different emphasis on swordsmanship.

　　From this perspective...

　　 The swordsmanship used by the three White Lotus Sect monks is indeed closer to the idea of ​​a sword style.

　　 "In fact, the swordsmanship of the one-sword style, although it looks amazing, its weaknesses are obvious."

　　Kamidai Keiko raised his hand, pointed it into a knife, made a gesture, and said slowly:

"Any tactic that emphasizes explosive power basically has the defect of excessive force. When a knife is swiped out, whether it is a vertical split, a horizontal cut, or a straight stab... there are always one or two directions that they cannot fully take into account. , The more concentrated the power on the knife, the more obvious the weakness.

　　 Therefore, as long as you find the weak points in the sword move, and release the sword when their strength is too late, you can use the least cost to defeat the opponent smoothly. "

　　 "Weakness..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu pondered and said nothing.

　　 Logically, she probably can understand what Keiko Kashiro said.

After all, the reaction speed of the human body has a limit. For most people, it is very difficult for most people to make temporary changes after seeing it. At least it takes a few tenths of a second. You can achieve the goal of quickly retreating from the enemy if you make a shot when your power is exhausted and new power is not born.

Can…

　　 said it was simple, but in fact it is very difficult to do it.

At least in terms of Bai Shuiqiu’s personal feelings, the idea of ​​looking for the weakness of the opponent to attack is like the old monster’s "mind eye". Maybe someone can do it, but for most people, there is a mystery. the taste of.

after all…

　　 If the weaknesses are really so easy to find, those well-known swordsmanship genres, I don’t know that they have been circulating even today under the conditions of frequent wars.

　　Perhaps only those with superb skills can realize this concept and implement it in actual combat.

　　 "Keiko, did you learn this theory from the teacher who taught you swordsmanship?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu asked tentatively.

　　 "Is that so..."

　　Kanda Keiko nodded, and said vaguely.

The girl paused, and then said again: "In fact, I have learned a little bit of fur in this respect. Although I may not be very proficient, at least the theoretical understanding is not a problem. If Xiaoqiu you want to learn , I can show you some time."

"Yes…"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded first, then glanced at Kamdai Keiko's face, and stopped talking.

She didn't doubt Kanda Keiko’s ability to understand kendo. After all, this girl was originally a genius girl with excellent IQ. No matter what kind of course she was exposed to, she could get started quickly in a very short period of time, so the same goes for kendo. Keiko's ability to understand, at least theoretically, must be a perfect score.

　　 But in practice...

　　 is hard to say.

Compared with Kyudo, Kendo is more antagonistic, so it has higher requirements for physical fitness. Keiko Kashiro's body has inherent shortcomings. If it is really placed on the kendo arena, I am afraid it will not take a few minutes. The heartbeat will exceed the load...

　　 In this situation, it is hard for her to imagine how Keiko Kashiro would demonstrate.

　　 can’t be like a certain martial arts master, splitting a set of "loose live bullets and lightning knives" into the air, and then use the slow motion that is dismantled one by one to explain the "Hunyuan Sword Technique" or something...

　　 As for practicing against Bai Shuiqiu, it actually doesn't work.

Because Bai Shuiqiu’s own swordsmanship was originally at a beginner level, and only a few basic moves in terms of tricks, relying solely on her inner strength and spiritual power blessing, slashed violently in one breath, and when she was blessed with spiritual power, The strength is more than twice that of ordinary people.

　　 No matter how sophisticated the technique is, it is impossible for Keiko Kashiro to make an effective confrontation when the power gap is several times or more.

　　Only when the opponent is also good at kendo, or even proficient in multiple genres of swordsmanship, the demonstration by Keiko Kandai will have enough persuasiveness and demonstrative effect.

　　 So after thinking about it for a while, Keiko Kandaro made a decision.

　　 "Then, put the demonstration place in the Kendo Club of Narita High School."

"Eh???

Chapter 384

　　 Under Bai Shuiqiu's slightly suspicious gaze, Keiko Kashiro did not explain much on this topic, but smiled, pretending to be mysterious.

　　 At this time, Chiyo also happened to step into the inner room from outside the door.

　　 When seeing the two sitting in the living room, the old man showed a relieved expression on his face: "Xiao Qiu, you are back."

　　 "Grandma."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu stood up and yelled a little embarrassedly.

She returned to Tianmu Mountain in the early hours of this morning, and then slept in the shrine for a whole day. She has not found a chance to say hello to her grandma, so at this time, it is the first time for the grandparents and grandchildren after their trip to Lantern Mountain. Although it was only more than a day after the meeting, Chiyo's performance seemed to be separated for a long time.

　　 "Just come back, just come back..."

　　 In the presence of Keiko Kamishiro, Chiyo didn't say anything more. After a few simple questions, he went to the kitchen with the excuse of preparing dinner and washing his hands.

　　 That night, Keiko Kandaji finished eating in the shrine, and Bai Shuiqiu sent her all the way down the mountain.

　　 After watching the girl drove away, Bai Shuiqiu pulled back and prepared to go home.

　　 just then.

　　 A blaze suddenly flashed in her vision.

Bai Shuiqiu paused and took a reflexive look. He saw a brown Toyota parked in the backlight tens of meters away. A tall woman was standing in the door of the car. Yan, while looking at her with a pair of eyes.

　　 This woman probably used a little concealment method, so even Bai Shuiqiu did not notice her arrival.

　　 "Zi... Yuan teacher?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu hesitated, then turned and walked over.

　　This trip to Lantern Mountain, the old monster helped her a lot. Although he didn't directly fight the black mud, she probably couldn't get out of the mountain so easily without this woman.

　　 Therefore, both feelings and reason should pass by and say thank you.

　　 In addition, it’s time to return the "positioning artifact" that I got from this old monster.

　　 "If you thank you, it will be avoided."

When he heard what was said from Bai Shuiqiu’s mouth, Jiufeng Ziyuan smiled slightly, and breathed out a puff of smoke: “I didn’t actually help much this time. Even if I didn’t show up at the time, it was already sealed in Hei Ni. Under the circumstances, with the abilities of you and the two little ghosts, you can also walk out of Lantern Mountain.

　　 As for that feather, I will save it for you as a souvenir. After all, the black mud incident has not been completely resolved, and there may be some time to use it in the future. "

"This…"

When Bai Shuiqiu hesitated, Jiufeng Ziyuan closed the palm she handed out without knowing it, pushed it back, and then squeezed out the cigarette **** in her hand: "Okay, don't bother with this kind of trivial matter. Now, let's talk about business... After you come back, how is the situation on Yu Nui's side now?"

　　 "I'm still asleep at the moment, it seems that when I was fighting against the black mud, I suffered some damage..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu answered truthfully.

　　 "Is this..."

Jiufeng Ziyuan nodded slightly: "I can probably guess, after all, that woman's abilities are not explosive in nature, and it is not easy to fight against a powerful opponent like Hei Ni to this point. Moreover. If I'm not wrong, she may have used some power that does not belong to her. I am afraid that she has also suffered a lot of backlash in the process."

　　 "The power that doesn't belong to me...?"

what does that mean?

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback, and instinctively felt that there was something in Jiufeng Shion's words.

　　 But this woman didn't mean to explain at all, she just narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced in the direction of Tenmoku Shrine, and then retracted her gaze:

"Well, this is just my personal guess. Whether it is true or not, it is the secret between Yunv and your shrine. Some things are involved too early before the strength is reached, and it is not good for you. So, wait for that woman to wake up from this deep sleep, and then let her decide if she should tell you."

　　"..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu curled his lips.

　　 She has become a bit accustomed to it. After the condition of Lantern Mountain was exposed, this old monster always concealed some key issues, a bit of a deliberate staleness in his words.

　　 I don’t know if these secrets are really important, so I can’t tell them easily, or Jiufeng Shion doesn’t know it, but is just saying some cryptic things and deliberately teasing her...

　　 With the old monster's usual character, although the probability of the latter possibility exists a bit, it is not non-existent.

"Ah."

Jiufeng Shion seemed to see Bai Shuiqiu’s thoughts, and smiled again: "By the way, during the day today, another group of people from the countermeasure team came from Chiba City, probably. It is the latest reinforcement sent.

　　 If I’m not wrong, they should block Lantern Mountain in the near future and collect information on the black mud in various ways to find a solution to this incident. Maybe someone will come to you. "

　　 "Any new reinforcements?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu didn't know about this matter. It seems that the countermeasure team has begun to realize the seriousness of the Lantern Mountain incident, and it is not a bad thing to be able to send more people over.

"so…"

　　 "So, the lie you told those little guys about Shikigami, you have to continue to compose it."

As Jiufeng Shion said, he patted Bai Shuiqiu's shoulder: "Because of some special reasons, I may not be able to enter your shrine, and I don't want to have too much contact with the countermeasure team... But if there is any need, then It’s not impossible to continue to play your shikigami. In the performance, I still have a little bit of it."

　　"..."

　　This is actually not necessary for the old monster to say much.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu remembers that this woman's outstanding acting skills, even if she does not have the ability to modify her memory, as long as Shiramine Shion wants to, she can easily hide her monster identity in front of Kurimi Sanae and others. Therefore, if you really want to accompany her to perform a play in front of the countermeasures team, it may not be difficult.

　　 "I will contact you when necessary."

　　 Next, the two chatted briefly, and Bai Shuiqiu watched Jiufeng Ziyuan get back into the car, and then drove away from the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

　　 Watching this Toyota disappear at the end of the road, Bai Shuiqiu turned around and looked up at the Torii and Santo not far away:

　　 "Old monsters...can't you enter Tenmoku Shrine?"

　　 Regarding the so-called "special cause" that caused this result...

　　 She is very curious.

　　...

Chapter 385 "Watching and Learning"

　　 The next day is Monday.

Thanks to the full rest of the previous day, Bai Shuiqiu got up from bed vigorously at five or six o'clock in the morning, ran all the way to the back mountain to exercise for a while in the morning, and then came back to rinse and pack his schoolbags. , Ready to go to school.

　　 In the process, Bai Shuiqiu glanced at the umbrella she had put in the cabinet by the way.
