After walking out of the bank, Jiang Xu looked back at the two majestic and vivid dragon pillars on the left and right, feeling dazed.
He didn't expect that the original owner would leave such a big gift for him.
No wonder this body's numerical values are much higher than those of ordinary people, and its emotions have been trained.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Jiang Xu took out his wallet and took out a square card with a miniature map of the entire Tokyo printed on it.
There are many small dots marked on it and connected with arrows.
Jiang Xu searched for the geography corresponding to these points, but didn't get any useful information, so he forgot about it.
But just now, an idea suddenly popped into his head, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He took out his mobile phone, opened the search engine, entered the nearest place name 'Kanda', and added the word 'kendo' after it.
The originally searched information about scenic spots, snacks, hotels, hospitals, etc., turned into a few precise messages.
'Xuanyu Daoguan' was founded in 1833 by 'Nishinomiya Chenghao' and is one of the ancient schools.
After entering the modern era, he took the lead in adapting to the reform of the Kendo Association and made great contributions to the formulation of standards for kendo competitions.
The seventeenth generation leader is Nishimiya Maha, who is only seventeen years old and is called the 'Young Sword Master'.
Is this the person?
Jiang Xu searched curiously and found that apart from the long list of honors the other party had received, there was no useful information and no exposed photos.
In kendo competitions, protective clothing and masks are required.
This 'Young Sword Master' puts on good equipment before every competition. To this day, he has not revealed his true appearance on the Internet, which adds a bit of mystery.
Jiang Xu deleted 'Kanda' from the search bar and changed it to another place name.
Sure enough, on the front page of the information list, the name of a kendo gym called 'Hirai' also appeared.
Jiang Xu followed suit and finally confirmed it.
From the perspective of normal Sakurajima Kendo enthusiasts, this is a pilgrimage road.
But the original owner, probably probably for sure, just wanted to play in the gym!
This is really a great gift!
Jiang Xu's face twitched.
Now that I have been targeted, I feel that I should do something consistent with the original owner's character in order to live a normal life.
Sifang Bank's suggestion, now that I think about it, is actually the best choice.
Sakurajima's kendo competition has complete rules.
Even though the original owner had many honors in the mainland, his strength was recognized.
But in Sakurajima, normally you have to start from the lowest level of competition.
Sifang Bank may be able to help him skip this step.
But will Jiang Xu agree?
of course not.
'Anyway, there is a system. As long as I work hard and learn kendo from scratch, it is not impossible to fight for the throne in one year! '
'Character collapse? Absolutely impossible! '
Jiang Xu actually didn't care about the trouble caused by the collapse of his character.
But if someone else digs out this matter later, the storm will inevitably become loud and he will be exposed in the spotlight.
At that time, there will only be more trouble.
"The fall of a swordsman prodigy? After arriving at Sakurajima, he was so beaten that he lost the courage to hold a sword?"
The headlines created by the media are bound to be more exaggerated than the last.
And the traffic brought by these public opinion disturbances will inevitably attract countless paparazzi like African hyenas, completely exposing him under the spotlight.
At that time, if his most important secret, time travel or system is discovered, it will be the most unacceptable.
These risks must be nipped in the bud.
Therefore, kendo must still be practiced!
How about going to a kendo gym to practice first?
No, it doesn’t feel very reliable.
The gym will definitely pay more attention to the competition. Even if it is another country, it is still a student-level competition, but after all, I can be considered a little genius in the kendo world.
Ordinary people in Sakurajima may not pay much attention, but people in the industry might recognize it.
Even if I learn the rules of Sakurajima Kendo so that I can go to competitions to explain them, I'm afraid I can only coax laymen.
A true expert, after observing him for a period of time, will definitely find that he has no foundation in martial arts and will become suspicious.
Therefore, you can't find a professional to practice. You still have to find a layman who knows some kendo but doesn't fully understand it to guide you.
It only takes a period of development to raise the skill level.
By then, he will be a true swordsman prodigy, and no one can find any flaws in him.
Jiang Xu kept thinking about where such a place could be.
Suddenly, I saw several college students passing by with skateboards in their arms and laughing.
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and Jiang Xu suddenly knew what the best place was.
School Associations.
Once the theory is established, practice is needed.
But the premise is that there are enough winning points.
In this way, everything is back to where it started.
When in doubt, play mahjong first.
It was already noon when Jiang Xu returned from the bank. He did not go back to Qingye's house. Instead, he ordered some fried noodles outside and brought it to Quezhuang.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he noticed something different.
Colorful roses filled both sides of the front door steps, and the air was filled with a warm and elegant fragrance.
A curtain hangs down, with several large characters printed on it.
Jiang Xu reads from left to right.
"The 136th Rose Cup of Rangu Quezhuang is about to begin!"
"What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
In doubt, Jiang Xu lifted the curtain and walked into Quezhuang.
The layout inside has not changed much.
It seems that today there are quite a lot of people, a little noisy, gathered in front of the counter.
There were also many people sitting at the mahjong table in the back, but they were not playing. Instead, they were chatting around, facing the counter, as if waiting for some order.
There were many unfamiliar faces among them, but Jiang Xu was not qualified to say this.
He himself has only been here for a week.
"Oh, Jiang Xujun is here!"
Jiang Xu followed the voice and looked around. It was the middle-aged man who emptied his chips during the card game yesterday.
"It's Tozawa-kun, do you know what's going on?"
"Well, this is the Rose Cup. During the season when roses are still in bloom, it is a one-day competition held on the weekend at the end of every month."
"This small cup competition is not only held by our Bird Club, but also by many other Bird Clubs across the country. It has been going on for several years. You have only been here not long. If you come here for a while, everything will be clear."
Tozawa explained readily.
"Oh, how did this habit form?" Jiang Xu asked curiously.
"This?" Dongzao looked confused. This question really stumped him.
He couldn't remember when many bird shops across the country started hosting the Rose Cup.
But there is no doubt that the Quezhuang that holds the Rose Cup is an old one.
"There are indeed very few young people who know or are interested in the origins of the Rose Cup. I'm afraid only some old men still remember it."
The speaker was a gray-haired old man in his sixties, standing behind the counter.
"Store manager, you are here today too!" Dongzao said in surprise.
Jiang Xu was also a little surprised. He had been in Quezhuang for a week and had only seen each other once.
"Normally, my grandson can take care of this place, but I have to host the Rose Cup. He still has a lot to learn!"
The old store manager said cheerfully.
"Then what is the origin of the Rose Cup?" Jiang Xu asked.
The old store manager spoke in a nostalgic tone.
"The first Rose Cup was probably more than ten years ago. At that time, Sakurajima Mahjong was not as popular as it is now, and this casino was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the general environment."
"Later. A witch came to this bird shop and expressed her willingness to support the maintenance of the bird shop. But she had a request. A competition must be held every month to involve as many old customers as possible. The form must be formal. , the rules must also be unified, and most importantly, the deity she serves must be worshiped before and after the game.”
"I naturally agreed and decided to name the game the Moon Festival Cup. Later, it was passed around and became the Moon Festival Cup. But everyone thought it sounded better, so it has been continued."
"Furthermore, I only found out after the Internet developed. It turned out that the shrine not only funded my bird shop, but also many bird shops like me that were on the verge of bankruptcy. Because of this, they survived, and it was extremely coincidental. , all have the habit of holding the Rose Cup.”
There is also this strange thing in the promotion process of Sakurajima Mahjong.
Jiang Xu and Dong Ze were both amazed.
But which shrine this is, it must be too rich.
Although the number of spasque shops in Sakurajima was not that large at that time, the number of houses per month and over a long period of time was not a small number.
"Store manager, what is the name of this shrine? I have a chance to pay my respects and see if I can get better luck."
Tozawa heard this story for the first time and asked curiously.
The old store manager's expression suddenly straightened.
"The name of the shrine is Soulten Shrine, and it is dedicated to the sparrow god."
