Chapter 560: Suzaku Pavilion

It took only five days for Zhang Heng to obtain the exemption certificate from Xiaoshan Mingxinliu. This speed made Xiaoshanqian speechless, but from the perspective of skill, she really had no reason not to give Zhang Heng the certificate.

So from today Zhang Heng can declare to the outside world that he is a disciple of Xiaoshan Mingxinliu.

He was in a good mood, and it just so happened that Gabriel's side was a collective action of the merchant group today. Without his work, Zhang Heng had a whole day of free time.

However, in recent times, neither the Changzhou Domain samurai nor the Shinsengumi have had any movement recently, making it unclear what they are busy with.

No one came to make trouble. Although the dojo still hasn't improved much, Xiaoshan Akane, as the owner of the dojo, is already very satisfied with her current life.

However, for Zhang Heng on the other side, the current situation is a bit different from his previous plan.

But it doesn't matter, no one comes to make trouble, he can still make trouble on his own initiative.

In fact, Zhang Heng has been inquiring about the whereabouts of famous knives recently, and by the way, he also learned about the big and small dojos in Kyoto with Akane Xiaoshan, a native of Kyoto.

Finally, he set his sights on a dojo called Suzaku Pavilion.

This is a dojo that has only been opened in Kyoto in recent years, but the scale is not small. The owner of the dojo, Sugawara Zaemon, traveled to various places when he was young, and learned from the directors of various schools. A well-known swordsman at the time, it is rumored that he fought against the former director of the Shinsengumi, Serizawa Kamo. Although no one knows the result, but being able to save a life from the violent Serizawa Kamo can already explain a lot problem.

When Serizawa Kamo was eliminated by Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata and others, Zaemon Sugawara established the Suzakukan in Kyoto, and immediately welcomed many disciples under his door, and the current development momentum is good.

Then Zhang Heng came to the door.

…………

"Xiaoshan Mingxinliu? Does this school still exist in Kyoto?"

The disciple in charge of the reception at the Suzaku Pavilion raised his face and said, Zhang Hengneng could hear a hint of disdain from his tone, but his attitude was not without reason, Sugawara Zaemon came to Kyoto to find experts everywhere to challenge his fame It was cool at the time, but after he had accumulated some fame and opened the dojo, others would challenge him and want to earn fame.

It's fine if he is really capable, but there are still some small genres that he has never heard of that also come to gain popularity. After all, this trick was also used by Sugawara Zaemon at the beginning. As long as he has fought against someone, no matter the victory If I lose, the opponent can blow as many moves as they want, Sugawara Zaemon can't help me.

Just like when he played against Kamo Serizawa, but Kamo Serizawa wanted to find a partner, he was selected, but in the end it was rumored that Kamo Serizawa wanted to kill him but didn't.

So now when the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion saw Zhang Heng, they felt that he was here for the marketing of Porcelain, just like those unknown people before, until Zhang Heng explained his purpose of coming.

"I heard that the owner of your museum has a famous sword made by Miike Norita Mitsuyo in his collection. I would like to borrow it for a look."

The disciple in charge of the reception immediately changed his face when he heard the words, and the next moment there was an angry shout from behind Zhang Heng, "Bold!"

Miike Norita Mitsuyo is a famous forging master in the history of Japanese swords and swords. He was active in the Miike County of Chikugo at the end of the Heian period. Every piece of work he left behind is priceless. Of course, the most famous one was during the Muromachi Shogunate period. Oden Tai Mitsuyo, known as one of the "Five Swords in the World".

Zhang Heng first came to Suzakukan because of rumors that Sugawara Zaemon had a work by Miike Noriota Mitsuyo.

But what he said just now obviously angered the people in the Suzaku Pavilion.

A samurai attaches great importance to his most loyal partner, the matching sword. Although most people can't reach the realm where the sword is alive and dead, they will not borrow their precious swords casually, let alone Lend it to a stranger.

Zhang Heng's request can be said to be very rude, and of course the more rude ones are yet to come. If the collection in Sugawara Zaemon's hands is really a famous sword of the same level as Daidenetai Mitsuyo, Zhang Heng's I don't intend to pay back the loan.

"Let me experience your Excellency's Xiaoshan Mingxinliu!" Immediately, a disciple from the Vermilion Bird Pavilion jumped out and said.

Zhang Heng nodded, as if he didn't see the hostile eyes around him, he took the wooden knife from others, and said calmly, "Please enlighten me."

Because he was angry at Zhang Heng's previous disrespectful words, the visitor rushed up without even being polite. Zhang Heng was not in a hurry, and assumed the posture of Xiaoshan Mingxinliu, with the tip of the knife slightly raised, and a defensive posture leaning slightly to the left. , allowing the opponent to launch an offensive.

Naturally, the visitor would not be rude, and immediately swung his own triumphant blow.

However, there was only a "pop", and the wooden knife in Zhang Heng's hand firmly supported his downward chop.

The person who drew the knife seemed dissatisfied, and shouted, "Come again!" Then he drew the knife and cut again, this time the target was Zhang Heng's right shoulder.

But the result was the same, and he was still intercepted halfway by the wooden knife in the opponent's hand.

He didn't believe in this evil, and kept uttering strange screams, and kept waving the wooden knife in his hand, but the evil was that no matter which direction he slashed, it was easily resolved by the other party, and he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

Zhang Heng just stood there, didn't even move his footsteps, watching his opponent jumping up and down, he was furious.

It has to be said that Zhang Heng didn't pay much attention to Xiaoshan Mingxinliu's moves at the beginning, but now the effect is surprisingly good, although he mainly relies on speed, strength and his honed fighting sense to bully However, Xiaoshan Mingxinliu's moves did make this process a little easier. For example, no matter where the opponent is attacking, he can use the fastest speed to set up the wooden knife to defend.

The pirate's swordsmanship is open and closed, and they don't pay too much attention to details. However, the Japanese swordsmanship has been passed down for hundreds of years, so it naturally has its merits.

For Zhang Heng, this dungeon is not just a trip to find a sword, but also a great opportunity to hone his sword skills further. Therefore, although he has countless opportunities, he is not in a hurry to defeat the opponent in front of him, but intends to use the opponent Study the knife technique to show the source and true solution.

But he didn't watch for long, and the competition was stopped.

"Stand back!" A deep voice shouted, "You are no match for him."

Zhang Heng's opponent, a young man with fuzz on the corner of his mouth, blushed, but he didn't dare to make any rebuttals. Hearing this, he stopped his movements and obediently stepped aside.

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, but it didn't seem to be Saemon Sugawara himself (Zhang Heng had inquired about Sugawara's appearance when he came).

"Isshin Shimizu, chief of the Lower Suzaku House, please give me your advice." The visitor said seriously.
