Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 56: People who existed?
Qi Ji finished washing and dressed. It was still early and Zang Feng's bus had not arrived yet.
So he continued to practice the meridian nourishing method while recalling the several Sakura language terms he heard last night. He opened his phone and began to search for related content on the Internet.
Although Qi Ji didn't understand Sakura language, he had a good memory. After careful recollection, he stumbled and translated several Sakura language nouns he heard through translation software.
"'ひときり' means 'killing people'..."
"'ばっとうさい' is 'Batousai'..."
"'りゅうそうせん' is 'Dragon Nest Flash'..."
"'りゅうかんせん' is 'tornado flash'..."
Looking at the nouns silently, especially the names of the two moves, Qi Ji felt a little awkward for some reason.
Why does it sound so childish?
After searching on the Internet, Qi Ji hoped to find relevant information about the red-haired wanderer.
He also did this after defeating Luo Lang . The results showed that there was indeed a Jinyiwei named Luo Lang in the Daguang Dynasty, who was a well-known fighter among the Jinyiwei. When Zhang Zizai was explaining the origin of the sword, the Jinyiwei "Wolf" he quoted from the ancient book "Swords and Weapons Record" was most likely Luo Lang.
When Qi Ji searched for this information, he felt a sense of horror as if he was dislocated in time and space.
So this time he also carefully searched for relevant information about Red-haired Drifter and got some results.
But it didn't quite match what he knew.
First of all, there are two moves with very anime-style names, which are completely impossible to find in the historical kendo schools of Sakura Country.
On the contrary, the two terms "human slayer" and "Battosai" do have some origins.
According to online information, in the late period of the shogunate, there was a fierce struggle between the reformists and the shogunate forces in Sakura Country, and assassinations by both sides were endless. Among them, several assassins had a very high success rate and killed countless people, and they became famous and were called "human killers", or executioners.
Qi Ji looked up the information of several "human killers" and found that there were two who had truly killed countless people with their swordsmanship. One was "the rare assassin - Tenchu Izo", and the other was "Batsai - Himura Gensai".
Among them, the more appropriate one is "Batsai". It is said that Battousai is more than five feet tall (about one and a half meters), short in stature but with fair skin and handsome appearance. People who meet him for the first time may even mistake him for a woman. The sword technique he uses is of unknown origin, and he is particularly good at "Batsaijutsu", claiming that he can kill people without a second sword.
This "Himurai Gensai" who actually existed in the modern history of the Sakura Country seems somewhat different from the "Battosai" who fought against Qi Ji.
But it's not the same person after all.
Perhaps, it was just a projection made up by the Tower of Transcendence based on the history of his world.
However, real information can also give him some reference. For example, he can pay attention to the fact that perhaps the "Batsai" in the Tower of Transcendence may have a powerful sword-drawing technique.
Time passed quickly while searching for information. Soon, at Zhang Zizai's notice, Qi Ji left the hotel and went to Tianhai Stadium with everyone.
…
In the car, Qi Ji continued to practice the meridian nourishing method while chatting with Yan Qing.
"Brother Qi, today is the semi-finals!" Yan Qing nudged Qi Ji with his elbow and said a little excitedly.
Qi Ji leaned against the car window with one hand on his cheek and asked nonchalantly, "So? You don't seem to be very nervous these last few times."
This kid was born with a big heart. Except for the morning of the rookie game when he was so nervous that he couldn't even walk, he quickly adjusted his mentality after one or two games. Now he has regained his youthful spirit and vigor.
Yan Qing chuckled, "Why should I be nervous? Lao Du told me that he didn't expect that there would be super-level players like Bai Tianhe and Qin Zijin this year. Besides these two, the other players are also better than in previous years. Originally, I was expected to be in the top four, but now I am satisfied with the top eight."
So you have no pressure now?
Qi Ji ruffled Yan Qing's hair and couldn't help asking, "What about me? Do you know what the group expects from you, Brother Qi?"
Without waiting for Yan Qing to answer, the two coaches who had been listening to their conversation turned their heads at the same time.
Zhang Zizai smiled and said, "Top four, the group's requirement for you is to get into the top four as a guarantee."
Qi Ji said with a sigh: "Why, the group has no confidence in me? Are you satisfied with being in the top four?"
Du Xishan also interrupted and said with a smile: "In fact, as long as the organizers didn't go crazy and arrange for you to compete with Bai Tianhe in advance, we all agree that you can at least compete for the championship and runner-up."
Qi Ji chuckled: "You guys can have more confidence. My goal is to support Bai Tianhe. I will definitely win the rookie championship, okay?"
Yan Qing immediately raised his hand and agreed: "That's right! It's just a rookie competition, just a disciple of the sword master, what a piece of chicken and pottery dog, my brother Qi will definitely win!"
Then he asked with a grin, "Come back to the topic, Brother Qi, when are you going to teach me the Wuming Sword? I'm so greedy! I couldn't sleep yesterday because I was thinking about this move!"
Qi Ji smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you. After the rookie game, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing agreed immediately and sat back in his seat with satisfaction. He was in a very happy mood and no longer thought about the rookie competition. He began to imagine what he would look like after learning the special skills.
Zhang Zizai watched the two contestants from the sidelines, unconsciously revealing a gratified smile. Suddenly, he remembered something and took the initiative to say to Qi Ji, "Qi boy, I almost forgot to tell you that you mentioned that day that you wanted to make two new swords. The higher-ups attached great importance to your demand for weapons, and immediately arranged for a swordsmith to rush the work. I guess you'll get your new swords tomorrow."
He made a simple gesture with his hands, and then added, "I see that you are quite talented in Meyer swordsmanship, and can fight well with other professional swordsmen. So I modified your straight sword and added a guard. Since you are a wild man, it's not strange for you to have an exotic weapon."
Zhang Zizai paused, and finally said: "The other one is the Miao Dao. Both swords are made as long and heavy as possible according to the international military standards for short weapons."
Qi Ji nodded to show that he understood, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Old Zhang, can you continue to help me arrange special training today? Can you help me find a senior who is good at Sakura Kendo to practice with me this time?"
Zhang Zizai pondered for a moment and asked, "Of course there are still some masters of Sakura Kendo who are hidden. Should we find two?"
Qi Ji nodded: "Yes, let's do a one-on-two special training."
Zhang Zizai made an OK gesture to show that he understood.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the Tianhai Stadium.
