Chapter 879: Real sword
Chapter 879 Real Sword
In travel magazines, you can often see such photos.
A young girl in a beautiful kimono with beads on her head and white powder on her face wanders the streets of Kyoto.
The girl’s professional name is a geisha, and Jojosang in Madame Butterfly is also a geisha. In musicals, this role is usually performed by European and American women.
The three-dimensional facial features of Europeans and Americans look like they were chiseled out by a sculptor with sharp edges and corners.
The facial features of the oriental people are soft. Although she doesn't know why Xu Zhimo is so famous, he has written a very vivid poem: the gentleness of the bowed head is the most, like a water lotus flower that is too shy in the cool breeze.
The Eastern girl in her heart is like this, Qiu Zhang is also very gentle, but she is really too young, thinking that Dumbledore’s Army is a make-up class, and will not disfigure a girl in order to leak secrets.
Nothing inside or outside is worthless. The world has a lot of demands on girls, and everyone hopes that they will always make the right choice, or prefer their own choices.
But the soul often cannot keep up with the growth of the body. There is a flower street called Shimabara in Kyoto. It used to be a paradise for men, but it is not necessarily a lucky thing for the women living in it.
Whether it is learning dancing or playing shamisen, it is all to please the guests.
The feeling that you don’t want to laugh, but laughs to make others happy is extremely uncomfortable. In the East, people call this kind of industry "selling laughs."
It’s miserable for an artist to be a man who sells laughter, but if someone is reluctant to even pay for laughter, he will be bombarded by Shimabara’s thugs.
If you don’t have money, don’t "buy laughs". The problem is that in the last years of the shogunate, after the attack of the black ship, many middle and lower-level samurai became ronin.
They don’t have any source of income, and they live a life of drifting and uncertain. In short, they have nothing to lose but a life.
Drinking flower wine was also to find comfort, but instead of finding comfort, she was discriminated against and mocked.
Men are the most unbearable to be looked down upon by women, not to mention the ridicule of prostitutes. At that time, there was no order to abolish the sword in Japan, and the decline of the samurai class also made the "Miao word with a sword" become useless, not only ronin, but also merchants. Knife, this has caused a lot of public security problems, and bloodsheds often occur in Huajie.
In addition to the rise of the "respect the king and fight against the barbarians" movement at that time, after the change of Sakurada Gate, assassination became a way for lower-level samurai to express their political aspirations, and the patriarchs gradually showed a tendency to unite. They continuously attacked and burned foreign embassies, assassinated embassy personnel and businessmen. , Threatening and beheading foreign and Japanese businessmen, so that the movement of exalting the king and pushing away barbarians reached a climax during the Wenjiu years.
When the Edo shogunate Tokugawa Imaji came to Beijing in the second year of Fumhyu, Hachiro Kiyokawa proposed to recruit rookies to form a police guard, which was adopted by the shogunate. The Edo shogunate adopted a gentle policy to control the ronin, and specially organized the ronin group to maintain law and order by using the ronin to deal with the ronin.
Edo was still a countryside at that time. Those ronin from the countryside were resettled in Mibu Village, so they were called the "Mibu ronshi group" by Kyoto people. Kyoto guardian Matsudaira Yoho appointed them to maintain law and order in Shimabara, Kyoto.
This group of people is the new seng group that will set off a **** storm in Kyoto in the future. They are called Mibu wolf by the Kyoto people and the ronin due to their harsh actions. Their first team uniform is the light green haori designed by Serizawa. .
They are harsh to the ronin, and they are not merciful to their own people. Since the establishment of the establishment, they have often expanded their enrollment and often "cleaned up". Mibu Village gradually became unable to accommodate them, so the resident of the Xinseng Group moved from Mibu Village to Nishi Hongan Temple.
Buddhist temples are as gorgeous as churches, but monk temples are not allowed to bring women in.
Senior officials such as Isamu Kondo, Keitai Shannan, Sui San Tufang, etc. can be placed in the outer room. Captains such as the Okita General Secretary and Saito I can go to Shimabara to stay overnight, and the bottom players can only stay in the camp.
If you want to climb up, you must establish military merits. The Shinsengumi was established because they participated in the August 18th coup d’état to protect the Imperial Garden. In order to live better, they must kill more "reformers". Although the Ikedaya incident delayed the war against the curtain, But it also triggered a change in the forbidden door.
At the meeting in the Ikedaya at that time, it was the activists of the Zunhu faction who discussed the burning of Kyoto. If a city is reduced to ruins, is there any value in occupying it?
The Shinsengumi launched the Ikedaya incident. The Kyoto Shodai also learned about it later. The envoys sent by Kondo were looking for the Kyoto guardian Aizu clan and Shoji Kuwana clan for reinforcements. Regardless of whether Kuwana or the Aizu faction did not send people, the Shinsengumi was determined to do so. After doing it, the magnate Gui Xiaogoro of the King of Changzhou feudal clan did not intend to attend the party at all. As a result, he immediately returned to the clan residence when he heard the news halfway through. Soon Yoshida Minoro sent a letter of 100,000 urgent requests for help, and Katsura did not go behind closed doors.
There are many militants in the Zunzhi faction, and there are many respected figures in Ikedaya. Ikedaya has intensified the conflict, and there is no way out for everyone.
Some plans are arrogant to imagine, but there is no possibility of implementation. The Shinsengumi used blood to extinguish the flames of delusion, but caused the real fire to burn most of Kyoto. After this incident, the Changzhou clan sent troops to Beijing, which instead stimulated the kings and barbarians to accelerate the reform.
Practicing kendo usually starts with a bamboo sword, but natural Lixinliu uses a wooden sword.
Okita Soji worshipped the natural flow of mind when he was nine years old, and showed extraordinary talents in swordsmanship. He became a legend at a very young age.
However, the “sports” he found interesting when he was a child was actually a murderous art. From the time he picked up Kaga Kiyomitsu and Kikuichi Norizo, he could no longer be a mere “swordsman genius”.
"Why is there a shot put here?" Pomona asked the female boss as she passed by an area displaying Japanese armor and knives.
"That's my husband's collection." The female boss said, "That's the shot put used in the Olympic Games."
Pomona still did not understand.
"My husband said that real craftsmen can use both hands to make products that are more precise than machines. To get good results, athletes will choose shot puts with a good center of gravity. Before the Japanese manufacturer joined, shot puts were made with turntables. , The center of gravity is not at the center of the shot put. Even an error of one millimeter will affect the throwing distance of the shot. To Japanese craftsmen, these shots are like alive. The temperature and humidity are different in winter and summer, and the cooling time is long. Different, the density of the shot will be different. It will be cooled for one day in winter and two days in summer. The humidity will also change during the rainy season. The shot puts made also need to be adjusted. You see, they also engraved lines on the surface of the shots. This will make it easier for the players to hold. During the Barcelona Olympics, these shot puts were so perfect that they were all stolen. The center of gravity of a good knife also needs to be adjusted. A knife with a reasonable center of gravity will be easy to use. What do you think of that parrot tea knife?"
Pomona placed the knife in her palm and measured it, perhaps because it is made of copper, which is much heavier than iron, so it is very easy to hold.
"Very good," she said.
"It was produced by the Longquan Sword Factory. There are many "Longquan Swords" now, but there is only one genuine product. It is handmade. Legend has it that they are restoring Ou Yezi's technology."
"Ou Yezi?"
"You don't know who he is?"
"No, I know who Ou Yezi is, but it is impossible for me to restore his craftsmanship."
"The Arabs are also trying to restore Damascus knives, but the Uzi steel is gone, and their imitated knives are still not perfect." The female boss curled her lips and said, "As long as Ou Yezi doesn't use the extinct material, it is possible. "
"You seem to be familiar with knives." Severus asked.
"I don't like these things, but my husband likes them." The female boss shrugged. "He regards'Uzi Steel' as magic metal. Oh, did you know that the'Tang Knife' is also made of Uzi Steel?"
"What's that?" Severus asked, because the female boss just spoke a Chinese.
"The knives used by the samurai of the Tang Empire are very similar to the samurai swords, but they are straight and have much better toughness. Japanese knives are said to be made by imitating'Tang swords'. They are sharp, but they break easily." Said, "But it's strange that none of the Tang knives have been handed down, as if they disappeared out of thin air. Only Japanese museums still have collections. They have kept those knives very well, and they have not rusted for a thousand years."
"Where is your husband?" Severus asked.
"A better place." The female boss smiled and said, "Sooner or later I will find him."
"Veritaserum has failed?" Pomona asked Severus.
Severus gave her a cold look, and ignored her at all.
Craftsman is a term in Asia. Pomona "Wang Wei" once said that if a craftsman makes a utensil with a pious attitude, it will be endowed with a soul, and the soul of the craftsman will be immortal in the vessel.
A good swordsman must not only have his own superior skills, but also have a good craftsman to cooperate.
Like track and field athletes and shot puts, only shot puts with the right center of gravity can enable athletes to set new world records.
Don't say it is one or two meters, even ten centimeters is a kind of transcendence, because it represents breaking through the limits of mankind.
Human potential is huge, but it is usually controlled. There is a legend that in order to save her child, a mother caught the baby who fell downstairs at a speed beyond the 100-meter sprint athlete.
That is her subconscious behavior, and the same is true for people who are possessed. Their power will become great. A little girl must be controlled by several adults. At that time, it is not herself who controls her body.
So Pomona believes that the female boss’s argument is that the human body can create more sophisticated products than machines.
The ingenuity of producing this kind of "human flesh induction" is not as stubborn as perseverance.
If a craftsman wants to please customers, he will compromise, change his craftsmanship, pursue cost-effectiveness too much, and use cheap materials to make it shoddy. In this way, he will not be able to make a "perfect" shot.
"Why are there coins here?" Pomona picked up a bracelet on the shelf and said, there were many "five yen" coins on it.
"Yen and Yuan are pronounced very close in Japan, and they are used when making a wish at a shrine. The 23 five-yen coins are 115 yen, which is pronounced in Japanese as'May a good relationship'." The female boss was so attached to Pomona that she took it from Pomona's hand. After passing the bracelet, he said, "We brought it back from Fushimi Inari Taisha."
"Does that mean anything else?" she asked again.
"15 five yen represents a curse, which will make people cry."
"Oh." Pomona said in disgust.
"When did this statement come in?" Severus asked.
"After World War II, the previous coins did not cost five yen." The female boss said blankly, as if Veritaserum hadn't expired yet.
Hundreds of good filial piety first, no matter what the heart is, there is no filial son if no one is judged;
Just thinking in my heart that the life of three wives and four concubines is just like dreaming. It is a kind of compensation. This kind of thing cannot happen in reality, just like Ikedaya’s Zunhu sect set fire to Kyoto and held the emperor to order the princes. It finally changed. This is probably because the earthwork of the "Deputy Chief of Ghost" was three years old.
He wanted the samurai from the countryside to become famous in Kyoto, but the end result was not ideal.
The wealth gained by killing quickly disappeared. People often say that at the end of their lives, they will look back on their past like a revolving lantern. Have Mufang Sui San missed the Edo gym and practiced kendo with a wooden sword happily with everyone Time?
It’s better than catching a monster like "Man Slash" in the dark and maze-like alleys of Kyoto.
Sword is a murder weapon, sword skill is a murderous trick, no matter how beautiful language is used to cover up, it is always a fact.
"Mencius" said: Those who love others, people always love them; those who respect others, people always respect them.
Killers, people will kill them.
Causal cycle, retribution and other things are really unreliable, so people are required to act for the heavens.
The Yamato people may have their own good points, but they have crossed the bottom line. Some crimes can no longer be forgiven by atonement, not to mention that they don't really want to repent.
The atomic bombing scene predicted by Grindelwald finally came true on that island country.
Every time the Quidditch World Cup matches, the Japanese team burns the broomstick when they lose. What did the broomstick do wrong?
She really doesn’t understand this nation. Although their crafts are beautiful and many Westerners like it, she always thinks of the lady butterfly who drew her sword.
It is a people like cherry blossoms, always withering when it blooms, it is still in the warm spring.
In contrast, she prefers plum blossoms in full bloom in winter, although many businessmen homonym it with the unlucky "mould".
This may be the reason why it is difficult to make a gentleman in the business field.
Can cabbage sprayed with paraquat be eaten?
likes the words after the song of ice and fire. The reason why a girl is a girl is because when a boy learns a sword, she has to learn to smile. What did she get to please the king?
