Chapter 837 I told you it’s a good idea to stock up on some exquisite little junk!
In the dry landscape garden in the dream, two figures, one short and sturdy, the other tall and slender, each holding a Tombstone, were ready to fight.
Although Tsurumi is not used to using long weapons, the Tonomakiri itself is a large spear with a long spike, and it has a sasa-shaped double-edged blade. In addition, it has a spike-mounted structure. In a sense, it can be regarded as an alienated naginata with a longer handle.
Moreover, Tsurumi studied Katori Shinto-ryu under Kamiyagawa.
Katori Shinto-ryu is not limited to the katana and double swords, but also involves spearmanship.
Therefore, Tsurumi, who is studious himself, has some knowledge of spearmanship and has a certain theoretical foundation.
To put it bluntly, the use of a spear is nothing more than——
Thrust, lead, cut, knock, and pull.
Tsurumi himself was well versed in kendo, and he had some familiarity with the "slashing" and "hitting" techniques that the spear-mounted lance tended to involve.
So when she suddenly picked up the Tombosekiri, it didn't mean that she was completely unable to play it.
"Oni no Heihachi, come on!"
Honda Tadakatsu on the opposite side roared, his black body rolled over, and the shining white gun tip pierced out.
“Ah—Hum!”
With one breath and another, Tsurumi Aoi raised her gun and rushed forward based on her feeling.
clang!
For a moment, the two Tombstones looked like two giant pythons with white heads and colorful bodies entangled and biting each other, and the two spear spikes collided with each other, sparks flew everywhere...
……
The tapir brought Kamiyagawa and his group into Tsurumi's dream.
The overlapping scenes of reality and illusion around him had just become solidified when the endless sounds of weapons clashing and fighting could be heard.
Kamiyagawa looked closely——
He saw his young disciple Aoi Tsurumi fighting with a short old man wearing a deer horn hat and a black robe.
Combined with the dragonfly wood carving that had just overturned in the living room, Kamiya judged that the old general in black armor was most likely the "Flying General of Mikawa" Honda Tadakatsu.
As for this dream now...
Since Xiao Mo is Kamiya's Shikigami, the level of spiritual tacit understanding between the two is not as good as that between Mari and Hannya, who had a deeper communication with Kamiya River through the "Hehuan Yulingjutsu", but it can be considered as a tacit understanding. Therefore, in the process of entering the dream, Kamiya had already learned about the situation here from Xiao Mo.
So, Xiaokui was not in danger this time, but instead encountered a strange dream-like art?
It's quite interesting.
I didn't expect that my little apprentice would have an experience similar to that of Cheng Yaojin learning skills in his dream in the novel.
"Is it because I used the bones of Yama to liberate Honda Tadakatsu? So before he passed away, he chose to attach himself to this wooden sculpture that he had carved before his death, and taught Aoi his art without any scruples... as a way of thanking him?"
Well, it’s true, this “Eastern Country Unrivaled” guy is quite nice.
Also, besides what Kamiyagawa did at the Sanzu River just now, another key factor in Aoi's ability to learn skills from Tadakatsu was the dragonfly wood carving at home.
That wooden dragonfly gave Honda Tadakatsu space to rely on.
This does seem like a bit of coincidence.
And, look!
I just said it’s always a good idea to stock up on some exquisite little junk!
Maybe one day it will be used in an unexpected way.
at this time--
The protagonists of this dream, Aoi Tsurumi and Tadakatsu Honda, have just started a fierce fight.
Even though Tsurumi had a great talent for fighting and the Breath of Ahum to regulate her own condition, she did not have any weapons like Ichimonji and Smiling Aoue to provide status enhancement, nor did she choose to ask Mari to bestow the true power of blessing.
The fight had only been going on for a few rounds when a whistle broke through the air. Honda Tadakatsu seized the opportunity when Tsurumi was holding his spear, cut off the short-handled dragonfly, and used the spear as a stick to smash down on Tsurumi's head.
Seeing that the situation was not good, He Jian stretched out the handle of his gun to block.
clang!
The sasa-shaped spear head hit the mother-of-pearl-patterned spear shaft. Tsurumi's hands were numb from the powerful blow, but he managed to block it.
Just as she was about to take advantage of the situation to deflect Tadakatsu's spear tip, her black and white eyes suddenly shrank. She saw Honda Tadakatsu's white spear tip brushing against her gun shaft, then clanging in the air, and pecking at the back of her right hand from an extremely tricky angle.
In desperation, Tsurumi could only retract his right hand.
The long-handled dragonfly suddenly slipped out of his hand and flew into the white sandy ground beside him. The long spear was still shaking and buzzing.
The weapon falling out of his hand meant that Tsurumi had already lost the duel.
And all this happened in just a few seconds after Kamiyagawa and his group arrived in the dream.
As Tsurumi's master, Kamiya is very patient.
Even if he doted on his two disciples in secret, there was no reason for him to take action at this time.
Kamiya didn't move, and the ghosts and monsters in the house that came in with him naturally didn't move either.
However, not everyone among the relatives and friends present was so calm.
For example, the Kanoya next to the Kamiya River.
Lu Yewu was brought into this dream by the tapir, and he still hadn't figured out what was going on.
As soon as I arrived, I saw a little old man wearing a deer horn hat beating Xiaokui!
And both sides used spears.
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Xiaokui doesn’t even use a gun!
When Kanoyaya, who always fought with Tsurumi, saw the spear in his junior sister's hand being knocked down by the enemy, he could no longer stand.
"Xiao Kui, let me help you!"
Who cares about you?
You can’t bully Xiaokui!
Because she was brought in by the power of the tapir, the bag that Kanaya carried with her was right beside her. She raised her hand and took out the heavy Shengde Imperial Incense Burner from the bag, threw it, and then twisted out a talisman, and took a step to rush out.
Xiaolu's shikigami Miyiko and Xiaokamaitachi, sensing their master's aggressive state, naturally would not be afraid and were also eager to join the battle.
There was also the little sleeve-handed man who was eager to protect his master, and he quickly pulled out all the famous swords such as Ichimonji from his wide sleeves.
However, the little deer leading the group had not yet completely rushed out when it suddenly stopped with its hands and feet suspended in the air.
Kamiyagawa, who was prepared, held his eldest disciple's neck and pulled her back to his side.
Kamiya knew exactly what the little deer was going to do next after it raised its butt.
"Master!"
"Quiet." Kamiya tapped his eldest disciple's head gently. "The other side has no ill intentions. This is not a battle that must be won. Aoi will be fine. You guys just stay by my side and cheer her on. You are not allowed to join the battle."
"Okay... okay."
The little deer gave up in disappointment.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xiushou straightened his posture, stood up obediently, and quietly put away the three famous swords.
As for the two Shikigami who entered the dream with the deer this time, the little sickle-itachi was the one who reacted quickly. The moment his master was held down by the head of the family, he flew back like a gust of wind.
Only the straightforward Miyako rushed forward for several more steps, and only stopped and fell to the ground when she heard Kamiya Kawa speaking. Although she was a little confused, the little kappa also listened to the words of Kamiya, whom she admired the most, so after getting up from the ground groaning, she still chose to turn back in shame.
……
"Teacher, and Senior Sister..."
Of course, Tsurumi noticed the arrival of Kamiya and his group.
After all, with a dream goddess like the Dream-Eating Tapir in the family, it is not surprising that relatives and friends can enter this dream.
However, the teacher and the senior sister had just arrived, and I was defeated...
This made Tsurumi, who was a little thin-skinned, feel a little ashamed.
On the other hand, Honda Tadakatsu was a little surprised to see an outsider enter his dream. However, after coming to his senses, the Mikawa flying general just smiled and nodded to Kamiya Kawa, and did not make any bigger reaction.
Looking at his expression, it is more certain that Honda Tadakatsu's pulling Crane into a dream to teach his skills is actually to repay Kamiyagawa for what he did just now on the Sanzu River.
"Please continue, we won't interrupt."
Kamiyagawa said this.
Isn’t it said that the little apprentice’s learning in a dream is very similar to Cheng Yaojin?
Isn't it the case that Old Cheng was learning Xuanhua's thirty-six axe moves in his dream, but was suddenly disturbed and awakened, so in the end he only learned three axe moves.
This is a rare opportunity, and Shen Gu doesn't want his little apprentice to only learn a few tricks.
"Xiao Kui, come on!"
"Master, the gun is very beautiful and suits you very well!"
At this time, Xiaolu and Xiaosode, who were staying on the sidelines, began to cheer for Tsurumi obediently.
Honda Tadakatsu on the other side swung the short-handled Tombstone in his hand and said to Tsurumi, "Little kid, pick up the gun. I don't have much time. Show me all your skills this time."
Tsurumi picked up the long-handled Tonkiri again, took another breath, and then carefully glanced at Kamiya River who was standing as still as a mountain not far away.
Teacher Kamiya is still watching...
With Kamiya's gaze on her, Tsurumi Aoi felt not pressure, but a familiar sense of security.
"All of them?"
I think the only means I can use now is the blessing of Sister Mary.
I don't know if this is considered cheating in a non-life-and-death fight.
But without the power of Master Mary, Tsurumi would definitely not be able to last more than a few rounds against Honda Tadakatsu with a gun.
The longer you fight, the more you learn.
"I understand."
Tsurumi felt relieved and an idea came to his mind.
Mary's blessing power descended generously, and blood-red ripples emanated from around the girl's outstanding figure.
The bloody wind pressure stirred the hem of Tsurumi's clothes and sleeves, blowing her long black hair into the air, and dyed the Tonomakiri in her hand with a hint of red. The blood mist covered Tonomakiri and gathered on the tassel of the gun, as thick as blood, as if it would drip down at any time.
"Okay, that's good."
Honda Tadakatsu seemed very satisfied with the change in the person he was learning from, and his fighting spirit was even higher.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tombstone in his hand stabbed out with the wind, and the white tip of the spear pierced through the air and lashed towards Tsurumi.
clang!
The scarlet spear head drew an arc in the air and chopped down. The two Tomb-slashing swords collided again, sparks flew, and then they knocked each other away.
In this fight, although Tsurumi's spear skills are still far inferior to Honda Tadakatsu's, the opponent is old after all, and Tsurumi, blessed by Mary, is extremely powerful. In this fight, he did not fall into a disadvantage as he did just now. (End of this chapter)
