Return to 2001 to pursue dreams
Chapter 371 Tachi Toru
Walk out of the martial arts hall through the back door, pass through a rockery pond, and arrive at the back hall. This so-called back hall is the place where distinguished guests are entertained, and it is also the office of the management staff of the Black Dragon Club. The wooden floor of the back hall reception room is covered with traditional Japanese tatami, and a low tea table is placed in the middle. Before entering the house, Gao Hongda was very interested in the craftsmanship of the house. The house is an all-wood structure. Judging from the joints of various timbers in the corners of the house, it seems that the house was built using a traditional mortise and tenon structure. There is not a single iron nail visible on the wood. At this time, you have to admit that the Japanese are more keen on doing one thing to the extreme and pay more attention to the protection of traditional crafts. This mortise and tenon craftsmanship comes from China, but in China it is It is almost lost. Even those antique buildings are only made of reinforced concrete to make a shape. They have long lost the soul of traditional craftsmanship. It is really sad.
An old Japanese man, Nara Akutagawa, saw that Hiroshima Taka was interested in the house, so he excitedly introduced it: "This house has a history of more than 200 years. Fortunately, it has escaped the damage of countless earthquakes and wars, and it can still stand here. It is a blessing to be able to see the wisdom of our ancestors.”
Gao Hongda couldn't help but said: "It's indeed an honor. It's a pity that many of our traditional buildings in China were destroyed by artillery fire. They are some cultural treasures. There are also countless lives lost. It is regrettable that some countries have committed crimes. It’s really inappropriate to never admit our mistakes and even tamper with history.”
After listening to Inoue Takehiko's translation, Nara Akutagawa took out the long sword from his waist, handed it to Takahiro Taka with both hands along with the scabbard, and said: "The name of my sword is Kotetsu. It has been passed down from the Warring States Period in Japan to the present. It has followed me. My father went to the battlefield in China. My father told me personally that this experience was Kotetsu's greatest shame. The sword is the life of the samurai, and its mission is to kill enemies on the battlefield, not to harvest the lives of civilians. After returning home , my father rebuilt the knife, and he also passed away in regret. He met many famous masters in the Chinese martial arts world in China, but because of that war, he had no face to go to China again for the rest of his life. What I want to say Yes, not all Japanese are war-mad and keen on aggression. Chinese and Japanese cultures have the same roots and should continue to be friendly from generation to generation."
Gao Hongda took the knife, turned around and slowly pulled out the sword, and carefully looked at the blade. The marks on the blade that had been repeatedly beaten and folded appeared in waves, showing waves of chill. The blade was sharpened extremely sharp, and there were no traces on the whole blade. There is one rust spot, but it seems that the old man has taken good care of his knife. The workmanship of the scabbard is also very exquisite. It is covered with a layer of crocodile belly skin, and the handle of the knife is neatly wrapped with cowhide. The knife is a good knife, but it is a knife full of sin. Gao Hongda resisted the urge to throw it into the water, inserted the knife into the scabbard, and said calmly: "Mr. Nara's knife is indeed a good knife. Even after thousands of years, I can still feel the smell of blood coming from the blade. and murderous intent. If everyone could have the mind and magnanimity of Mr. Nara, there would be no bloodshed today. We Chinese are peace-loving, but there are some people who always regard China as a piece of fat and salivate. Just now Nara My husband almost disemboweled me with a slash of his sword, which left me with lingering fear!"
He handed the knife to the Japanese old man Nara Akutagawa with both hands. This was Gao Hongda's respect for his martial arts predecessors. Although they were of different nationalities, he still somewhat recognized the old man's martial ethics. He felt that this old man was somewhat similar to Luo Jianqiang. At least he won't bully others, and he has a pretty good sense of justice.
Nara Akutagawa inserted the tachi back into his waist, stretched out his hand to signal Gao Hongda to come in to watch tea, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, little friend, when you were fighting with a knife just now, you just faced each other with the back of the knife. Of course, old man, I'm not blind, I'm just empty. It’s just one chop, but you are the only one who can escape my fifty years of skill.”
This old man is also quite interesting. I don’t know who he learned this bragging ability from without drafting.
According to custom, Gao Hongda and Xia Sisi took off their shoes at the door. After entering the house, the four of them sat around the tea table. Nara Akutagawa sat at the main seat, and Inoue Takehiko sat opposite Gao Hongda and his wife. The middle-aged man who had just been slapped in the face The Japanese soldier brought the tea tray very respectfully, poured tea for everyone one by one, and then continued to kneel down, his hands neatly placed on his thighs, and he did not dare to raise his head.
Nara Akutagawa didn't look at him at all, and motioned to Takahiro to drink tea, and explained: "This is my favorite disciple Kishida Yuichi, who is also the master of this gym. Originally, I had high hopes for him, hoping that he could inherit my mantle. It seems today that I made a mistake. If we follow the rules of the samurai era, both he and Matsushita Shousha should commit seppuku at this moment. It is shameful to lose the fight, and it will not be forgiven if you do not follow martial ethics."
Gao Hongda was very generous. He chuckled and said, "It's not a bad thing to be competitive. If it were me, I would react in an extreme way if I saw my master being humiliated. It's human nature, and Mr. Nara doesn't need to be blamed."
In fact, what he was thinking at the moment was, I am so generous. You old man, should you give me something to express your apology? If not, just give me your sword. I will definitely not dislike it. Otherwise, why would I drink tea with you, a bad old man, and talk nonsense? Why not go back to put your wife to bed and then go to Fengqing Street to drink flower wine.
The old man Nara nodded happily and said: "Although Gao Sang is young, it is rare to have such a high level of martial arts. There are many martial arts schools in China. May I ask where you learned from him?"
Gao Hongda raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your praise, sir. My meager skills are not worth mentioning in China. I don't even have an advantage in fighting in our village. I learned a type of northern Changquan called Hongquan, which is a knife technique." From the martial arts master of the late Qing Dynasty, the Great Sword King Wu.”
Nara Akutagawa did not seem to hear the contempt in Takahiro's words, and nodded and sighed: "Chinese martial arts is indeed profound and profound. Even if we spend our whole lives, we can't get a glimpse of it. No wonder my father determined to visit all the famous teachers in China before his death. I will warn my disciples in the future. , Chinese martial arts is not just a show, the masters are hidden among the people."
Gao Hongda expressed his opinion: "Martial arts is originally a killing technique. Although it comes from war, the Chinese people love peace in their hearts, so they understand the principle of fighting with force."
Nara Akutagawa shook his head slightly and said: "Just like you, China is now far away from war, but it has always maintained strong armaments, has the most powerful war mobilization capabilities in the world, and even has an unknown number of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. It doesn't seem to be what you said. Instead of resorting to force, it acts as if it is waiting in the wings, deterring neighboring countries at all times."
Gao Hongda pointed to the sword in his waist and asked: "The old man always keeps the sword close to his body when walking or sitting. Is it to kill people at all times?"
Nara Akutagawa shook his head and said: "That's not the case. This sword is the life of the samurai. The purpose of its creation is naturally to kill people. But now that it is in my hand, I will not let it stain with blood and hurt people again."
Gao Hongda continued: "Sir, you are of high moral character, so you will naturally not hurt anyone. If I was bare-handed just now, and your disciple, Kishida Yuichi, had a sharp blade and had enough strength, who can guarantee that he would not kill me?" Split in half? If I also had a knife in my hand, he would not dare to kill me rashly. There will naturally be two completely different results between having a knife and not having a knife to use. "
