Life is happy, daily life is decadent.
Bailiyuan’s hot spring trip is over.
Finally, the chaste tiara’s enchantment position was chosen—the fairy elf!
At this time, Bailiyuan was riding a bicycle and leading Nicole on a mountain road.
The name of this mountain is Suna Mountain.
The reason why I came here is because there is a very famous kendo dojo on Suna Mountain. Recently, this kendo dojo was holding an event, which was very popular, and it was not far from the hot spring hotel. There happened to be nothing going on in Bailiyuan. Ready to come and take a look.
The name of the dojo on Mount Suna is Jinglong Dojo, and this event is the very famous "Disciple Selection Conference" of Jinglong Dojo.
The so-called Disciple Selection Conference is a peculiar tradition of Jinglong Dojo and a grand event in the kendo world. It is held every four years, with the same frequency as the Olympic Games.
Many young swordsmen compete here in the Apprentice Selection Conference. In the end, the top two can directly enter the Jingryu Dojo, become true disciples, and receive the core inheritance of Jingryu Ryu. However, if a young man with outstanding performance appears, the master in the dojo can also make an exception. Passing on part of the core heritage is also the meaning of "choosing a disciple".
Discovering potential successors and promoting the art of swordsmanship is the purpose of the Disciple Selection Conference.
Speaking of the Disciple Selection Conference, we have to talk about the origin of Jinglong Dojo.
Legend has it that Suna Mountain was a gathering place for evil spirits in ancient times. Later, a wandering swordsman named Dao Ming came here. Seeing the evil spirits cholera the common people, he drew his sword and killed all the ghosts on the mountain and the king of ghosts. However, the King of Ghosts had deep resentment after his death and could not be completely eliminated, so he could only be temporarily sealed in the mountain.
For this reason, Daoming established a dojo on the top of the mountain and taught his swordsmanship to three teenagers near Suna Mountain. The artistic conception of pure swordsmanship with his disciples finally eliminated the resentment of the ghost king.
Then Dao Ming left his sword "Jing Long" and left. The three teenagers inherited Dao Ming's dojo and named the dojo "Jing Long" and the kendo also named "Jing Long". Later, Jingryu-ryu Kendo was carried forward, and later generations passed down the Kendo to this day.
Although Jinglong-ryu Kendo has a long tradition, it is different from traditional Kendo. It is not the kind of Kendo that can only be passed down within a school. The blessing left by Daoming back then was "This is a non-selfish way to protect the peace of heaven. Those who come can learn."
It means "your own swordsmanship is not your own, but is to safeguard the peace of the world. Those who want to safeguard the peace of the world can learn it as long as they come."
In this way, Jingryu Kendo became an open kendo, and it had a profound impact on other kendo inheritances. This openness was also the basis of the "Disciple Selection Conference" of the modern Jingryu Dojo.
It can be seen from this that Dao Ming is a very respectable person with a righteous heart. In modern times, he even received the title of "Sword Saint". The so-called "Saint" refers to his strength on the one hand and his mind on the other.
Of course, this kind of open inheritance of swordsmanship will inevitably go through many ups and downs, and even involves the issue of inheriting orthodoxy. The reason why Jinglong Dojo on Suna Mountain can still stand in modern times is due to historical reasons and the efforts of the successors of the dojo. In addition, there is another very important point, that is, the dojo still retains Dao Ming's sword - Jing Long!
The "Disciple Selection Conference" held every four years is also the only opportunity for outsiders to see Jing Longjian.
However, Jingryu Kendo is indeed very superb, and Jingryu Dojo has a very high status in the modern kendo world. Among the combat instructors of the Blue Star Defense Force are descendants of Jingryu Kendo.

Blue Star Defense Team, Rande Team's lounge.
A young man came in rubbing his shoulders.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted."
"Tazang-kun, go ahead." Another tall and handsome young man threw a can of drink to the young man who came in, namely Tianzang.
Tian Zang caught the drink.
"Arigado, Senior Hilton."
Hilton smiled and walked over with a can of drink.
"How about the new weapons?"
"Very good." Tian Zang nodded excitedly. Although he was a little tired from assisting in the weapon experiment, he was still very happy.
"When the weapons are developed, you will definitely be surprised."
"That's great, but if it's not as surprising as you said, you have to make it up to me~" Hilton licked his lips.
Tian Zang looked at Hilton's posture and swallowed.
Hilton-senpai probably can't...
Tianzang is just a new member of the team, and he doesn’t really know Hilton very well, but Hilton has always helped him a lot...wait, that’s not a lot. If you think about it carefully, it seems that Hilton has helped him a little bit. , far superior to other seniors...
So the so-called compensation mentioned by this Hilton senior...
What did Mr. Hilton’s last name come from? It seems to be Hai Ling... I don’t dare to think about it anymore, I don’t dare to think about it anymore...
Tian Zang distanced himself from Hilton without leaving any trace.
"Yes... it's for dinner, right? If I don't surprise senior, I will treat senior to dinner. You can choose whatever you want!" Tian Zang said.
Hilton raised his eyebrows, but his smile did not diminish, seeming to be more attractive.
"Okay, candlelight dinner, Would you like to have dinner with me?"
Tian Zang wanted to give himself two big mouths, but he seemed to have dug a hole for himself.
"Ahaha, eh? The captain isn't here." Tian Zang chose to change the topic.
Hilton nodded.
"The apprentice selection meeting of Jinglong Dojo has begun. The captain is attending as a representative. This year he should also serve as a judge."
"Is the captain so strong?" Tian Zang was a little surprised. He knew what it took to serve as a judge at the Jinglong Dojo's apprentice selection meeting, not just status, but also strength!
Hilton nodded seriously.
"Although publicity has always said that the captain is very strong, in fact... they can't even imagine how strong the captain is." Hilton said with admiration.
Tian Zang also showed an expression of surprise.
This argument that we know rich people are happy but cannot imagine how happy they are is really shocking.
"But I'm also very good at 'spear fighting'~ Do you want to try it?" Hilton showed a charming smile again.
Tian Zang:! ! !
Just stop building a story on this topic!
…
At the foot of Suna Mountain, a female host was talking to the camera lens in the city below the mountain. They were live broadcasting.
"...The contestants who can participate in the conference are all under the age of fourteen. Except for those who have received invitations, the remaining contestants who have signed up have at least won the championship of the regional kendo competition, and there are many other awards. This year will definitely be another one How about Enter the Dragon? Are you all looking forward to this year’s election meeting? Next, let’s interview passers-by..."
The female host quickly stopped two very distinctive passers-by.
A young man with black hair looked young but extremely attractive. The female host felt that if the young man were a few years older, he might be able to solve the problem of being single.
Next to the boy is a little girl with blue hair who looks like an ice elf. She is quite pleasant. She should be the boy's sister or something. At this time, the girl is eating big mouthfuls of food, and the female host's heart is almost cute. melted.
"I am a reporter from..., could you please interview the two of you?" the female host asked politely.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Are you here to watch the conference too?"
"Yes." The young man nodded.
"You like kendo very much? Have you ever had any contact with it?"
"It's okay. I also practice swordsmanship myself." The young man replied.
The female host's eyes lit up. Her favorite thing during interviews was to meet passers-by who understood the situation, because such people often had great insights.
"Then which player do you like? Which player do you think is stronger?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't like anyone..."
"why?"
The young man smiled flatly at the camera.
"I don't care if they are strong or not, none of them can beat me anyway."
