Chapter 548: Fellow Disciple

Lu Wushuang frowned.

Back in Hirado City, Matsuura Takanobu said that Japanese sword technique is divided into two types: one is the Venerable God Sword Technique mastered by Shintoism, which practices visualization; the other is the True Intent Sword Technique, which is self-realized or self-created and practices breathing methods.

Li Miao killed a Japanese swordsman who practiced True Intent Sword Technique in Dashuo, who seemed to be a 【Sword Saint】, and it was indeed completely different from Central Plains martial arts. Later, more and more information about the Venerable God Sword Technique was dug up, but nothing related to the True Intent Sword Technique was found, so this thing that could rival the Venerable God Sword Technique was put aside.

But this "True Intent Sword Dao" mentioned by Miyoshi Ryota had a huge amount of information.

Li Miao had already confirmed that Miyoshi Ryota was not practicing Japanese sword technique, because he had *Qi* in his body and had practiced internal energy, and it was a Central Plains cultivation method of the same origin as Shaolin internal energy.

As a result, once Lu Wushuang transferred her *Qi*, Miyoshi Ryota not only didn't feel strange, but firmly believed that she "also" practiced the "True Intent Sword Dao."

In other words, in Miyoshi Ryota's eyes, as long as one practices internal energy and has *Qi* in their body, they are practicing this "True Intent Sword Dao."

This is interesting.

Lu Wushuang's eyes turned, and she smiled slightly.

"You finally recognized it."

She prepared to bluff Miyoshi Ryota.

Miyoshi Ryota couldn't distinguish it at all, and for a moment he was overjoyed, as if a wandering child had finally found his family, stood up abruptly, and shouted.

"Great! Master, did you see it!"

"I found it! I found it!"

He even forgot that he was in a crisis now, and said eagerly to Lu Wushuang with a face full of excitement.

"Which school are you from?"

"Nen-ryu, Kage-ryu, or Kurama-ryu?"

He suddenly took out a short sword from his bosom and drew the long sword from his waist, crossing them in front of him.

"My name is Miyoshi Ryota, Niten Ichi-ryu!"

Lu Wushuang smiled and fobbed him off, secretly analyzing in her heart.

"So, among Japanese sword techniques, there is a True Intent Sword Dao that practices Central Plains internal energy *Qi*. From this kid's words, it seems that only four schools can be counted, and the relationship between them should be extremely close; maybe they are from the same lineage."

"Nen-ryu, Kage-ryu, Kurama-ryu."

"None of them have been mentioned by Nanako. It seems these four so-called True Intent Sword Daos are quite declining, or even not circulating on the surface at all... Is someone deliberately suppressing them, or other reasons?"

"Since this kid's *Qi* is of the same origin as Shaolin, does it mean these four sword schools are related to Venerable Bodhidharma or Master Jianzhen?"

Miyoshi Ryota was excited for a while, his gaze drifted to a charred corpse, and then he suddenly remembered the crisis that hadn't been resolved, so he hurriedly said.

"Now is not the time to talk about this... you guys follow me first!"

He turned around and led Li Miao and his party forward.

Lu Wushuang walked a few steps slowly, retreated to Li Miao's side, told Li Miao everything Miyoshi Ryota had said and her inferences, and then said in a low voice.

"Master, what do you think is the situation?"

Li Miao said with a smile.

"It's not too unexpected."

"Before the battle with Venerable Bodhidharma, I had already confirmed that Japanese sword technique, whether it's True Intent or Venerable God, is essentially a product developed from the last path of Life Cultivation."

"Therefore, Japan does not have any martial arts completely different from the Central Plains. Since the Venerable God Sword Technique is the orthodoxy passed down by Shintoism, which is the culprit who killed Venerable Bodhidharma, then there shouldn't be no shadow of Venerable Bodhidharma behind the True Intent Sword Technique."

"It can be considered as getting it without any effort; my luck has always been good."

While the two were talking, Miyoshi Ryota in front finally spoke. Since he knew that Li Miao and his party were "fellow disciples," some things he hadn't been willing to say because of concerns could now be said.

"The situation in this Akutagawa Buddha City is actually, to put it bluntly, caused by the conflict between Shintoism and Buddhism." ===== CHAPTER 549 =====
