"

"After all, not everyone is suitable for the south. Maybe the east is the most suitable direction for you."

After listening to Kiryu's concise and vivid explanation, Aoden slumped his shoulders with regret on his face.

"Okay...I understand."

Kiryu stretched out his hand and patted Qingden's back.

"A mother needs to be anxious; a mother needs to be anxious."

"There are many people, things, and things in this world. The more you desperately want them, the less likely they are to be obtained. This is especially true for martial arts."

"So, just relax and let nature take its course."

"You should eat and drink every day. Don't pursue me stubbornly. You must understand the mystery of what I just said before today or some time."

"Such an overthrowing behavior will not only easily result in nothing, but may also lead to irreversible negative consequences."

"In short - follow nature and obey others, don't force anything."

"This kind of practice of doing nothing is the most ideal state of 'enlightenment'."

Having said this, Kiryu paused for a moment. Then, he changed into a half-joking tone:

"You are a disciple of Natural Rishin-ryu."

When he read the two words "natural" and "rational mind", Kiryu specially strengthened his tone.

"Since you are a disciple of Natural Rishin-ryu, you must not do anything that goes against the purpose of the school."

Qingden's mouth slightly curled up at Kiryu's joke.

"Well... Boss Kiryu, you are right. Things related to 'enlightenment' cannot be forced."

After saying that, Qingdeng let out a long breath.

At the same time, he let go of the hanging thread in his mind, allowing the hanging thread and the unknown object entangled in the hanging thread to sink into the deepest part of his mind, and no longer stubbornly insisted that he must "stop the pole" at this moment.

"Boss Kiryu, thank you for your advice!"

Qingden was sincerely convinced and bowed respectfully to Kiryu in front of him.

Kiryu chuckled and shook his head.

"Ji Jun, you are out of sight now."

"It is a matter of course for a master to teach his apprentices, teach them, and resolve their doubts. Why do you need so many etiquettes?"

"If you really want to express your gratitude to me, just have a few drinks with me."

Kiryu pushed the bottle to Qingnobo.

Qingdeng smiled heartily and said repeatedly, "Okay, no problem!"

The master and the apprentice exchanged cups and drank wine and chatted happily.

At this time, Mai Kinoshita and Makimura, who had been silent just now in order not to disturb Kiryu's teaching work, rejoined the chat.

"Oh, Kiryu, you are quite capable of being a master!"

Makimura laughed and slapped his thigh hard.

Kiryu answered calmly:

"I once learned in Tuzuo how to teach complex knowledge to others in a simple and concise way."

…

After everyone chatted for a while.

"My journey to martial arts is indeed still very long."

Qingdeng, who was already a little drunk, folded his arms and sighed.

"Before today, my goal was to reach the state where I can freely expand and release the 'power'. But now, I have one more goal."

Potential——Hearing this word, Kiryu and Makimura both laughed.

Qingdeng, who didn't understand what the two men were laughing at, asked in confusion:

"Boss Kiryu, Mr. Makimura, what are you laughing at?"

Makimura slowly stopped laughing:

"'Shi'... Haha, every time I hear this word, I deeply feel the development and changes of the times."

"Looking back when Kiryu and I were young, there was no such thing as 'power'."

"We only know that powerful martial arts masters often have strong 'aura', but we don't know what this 'aura' is, and we don't have a formal name for this 'aura'

Common name."

"Until the guy got bored, he named this 'aura' 'Shi' based on his own experience to kill time. He first solved the naming problem, and then did further in-depth research on this basis.

"

"It took several years for the concept of 'shi' to finally emerge and be integrated into today's martial arts system."

After Makimura finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Qingto's face:

"That guy...?"

Next to them, Kinoshita Mai and Aoto showed shocked expressions in no particular order.

"Mr. Makimura." Qingnobo asked quickly, "From what you said... you seem to know the person who created the concept of 'shi'?"

Makimura nodded firmly.

"I don't just know him. He is Kiryu and I's best friend."

"..." Qingdeng was immediately speechless.

At this moment, Qingdeng only had one thought in his heart: What is going on with these two old people? The circle of friends is too strong, right? He even knows such people? And they are still friends?!

Qingdeng hesitated for a moment, but finally lost to his curiosity:

"Then...Boss Kiryu, Mr. Makimura, may I ask if this friend of yours is still here? If it's convenient, can you tell me his name?"

As a practitioner of martial arts and a lover of martial arts, Qing Teng really wanted to know who was the master who was able to pioneer the concept of "momentum".

"He's still alive."

Makimura grinned.

"Not only is he still alive, but he is also very healthy and active every day. With his current energy and physical condition... I am afraid that he will not die in another two hundred years."

How can there be any human being in this world who can live for more than 200 years... Qingden slandered.

Qingtengquan thought that what Makimura had just said was a joke, so he immediately put it behind him and continued to listen carefully.

"As for the name..."

Makimura shrugged and shook his head.

"That guy is currently living in seclusion, so I can't reveal his name and address to the outside world casually."

"Ah, that's it..." Qingdeng sighed regretfully.

At almost the same time, Kinoshita Mai followed suit and turned her regret into a sound.

Kinoshita Mai also wanted to know who had such great abilities.

"Hahahaha! Tachibana, young master. There is no need to feel sorry!"

While Makimura laughed, he raised his big palm-like hand and patted Ayoto and Kinoshita Mai alternately on the shoulders.

"It's not like I'll never get a chance to meet that guy!"

"When the opportunity comes in the future, I will personally take you to introduce him!"

"That guy's body is very strong, so you don't have to worry about not being able to meet him in your lifetime."

"Maybe when you all turn into a handful of loess, he will still be alive."

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:

"We have all turned into loess, and he is still alive? This body is too strong, isn't it?"

"Mr. Makimura." Kinoshita Mai said helplessly, "What you said is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Makimura spread his hands in disbelief, then showed an intriguing smile.

"His body is indeed so strong... Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about more interesting topics instead!"
