Rubik's Cube World

"Since I have applied for self-study, anyway, I will go to see your grandfather when I am free. It happens that you can go there if you want to practice. Your grandfather is very strong."

On the way home, Eriko, the mother who was driving, said to Naruto Ito, who was sitting in the co-driver.

"Really? Anything, anywhere." Ito Cheng nodded and replied indifferently.Instead, I thought in my heart that it would be good to go to the shrine, just to learn the use of spiritual power, or I would have this power so that it would not be too wasteful to use, and I would also prepare for the next world trip.

"Then let's go back and pack your clothes for you, and then you will live there temporarily." Ito Eriko said.

"En." Ito Cheng nodded.

Then they had nothing to say all the way, and the two returned home. According to what they said on the road, Itocheng packed up a few clothes that he usually wore every day, then took out a big bag, put the medicinal materials taken out from the space into it and carried it on his back , Then I went downstairs to the living room and set off for the shrine in the suburbs with my mother Eriko who had been prepared earlier.

After a short and not too long journey, the two finally arrived at the shrine.This is a quiet hill. There are almost no buildings around [-] meters around the foot of the mountain. Some low-rise houses gradually appear in the distance. There are no high-rise buildings in the city at all, which gives people a sense of openness.

Walking along the stone steps on the mountain path towards the shrine above, what you see are thick trees, and the broad canopy extends to both sides of the stone steps, blocking a large area of ​​sunlight.Only the scattered light falls on the ground, and the fallen leaves that look like light are very beautiful, but without the direct sunlight, a cool feeling envelopes the whole body, as if the summer has gone away all of a sudden.

"It's such a good place." Ito Cheng thought to himself.

After passing the long stone steps, the two of them stepped over the torii gate of the shrine gate, and looked over the small square paved with stone slabs behind the torii gate. What they saw was a quaint building, which is preliminarily estimated to have a history of more than 200 years. Ri-style wooden tradition The houses are scattered and built according to a certain pattern, which shows the long heritage of the Ito family's shrine.

In the middle of the left side of the torii gate and the small square of the main hall of the shrine, a small house stands there, with the words "drawing lots" written on the bottom of the house.Behind the hut and around the shrine are bamboos that are common in Japan, and the shrine is shrouded in thin, like a place outside the world.

On the right side of the main hall of the shrine facing the torii gate, near the bamboo forest, there is a small earth temple that is only about the height of a person's calf. In the middle of the main hall, there is a thick rope with a huge brass bell tied to it. Bells, every year during the Chinese New Year, people come here to shake the bells to signify a year of peace. Below the bells is a sesame oil tank.Finally, there is the left side of the main hall, which is an open space, except for a sacred tree that is used to tie blessing ropes, there is a row of buildings locked by karma.

The two walked around the main hall of the shrine, and came to the place where the shrine staff lived behind from the side. There was a god wearing a Japanese-style priest robe, and a hale and hearty old man was sweeping the floor with a bamboo sweeper in his hand.In Ito Cheng's spiritual perception, although the old man in front of him is very ordinary and nothing outstanding, there is always a voice in his heart telling him that it is very dangerous, very dangerous!

"Father." Eriko Ito greeted respectfully.

"Ah, it's Eriko here." The old man whom Eriko Ito called father, Ito Kikujiro nodded with a smile, and then turned his attention to Ito Cheng who was aside.

"This is? Cheng?" Ito Kikujiro asked with some uncertainty. After all, Ito Cheng rarely came to the shrine except when he was a child, so Kikujiro didn't have a deep impression of him.

"Yes, this is Cheng." Eriko nodded, and patted Ito Cheng beside him to salute.

"Hi, Grandpa!" Ito Cheng saluted.

"Okay, okay." Ito Kikujiro said with a smile on his face, which shows how happy he is to see Ito Cheng.After that, Ito Kikujiro put the broom in his hand aside, and took Eriko and Ito Cheng back to the room. After Ito Cheng made arrangements, he took Eriko to another room to sit down.

"Are you bringing Ah Cheng here this time?" Kikujiro asked seriously.

"It's like this..." Eriko explained what happened recently to Ito Cheng's explanation, and then quietly waited for Kikujiro's inquiry.

"Well, I see, I will teach Ah Cheng well." Ito Kikujiro nodded and said with a relaxed expression.I thought that something important happened when my daughter suddenly brought her grandson here, but after understanding it, I found out that it was just some irrelevant matter, so I relaxed.

"The Summer Ritual Festival is coming soon, and you should prepare well. This year, Zheng Fu plans to hold a large Summer Ritual Festival for publicity. At that time, other shrines may be invited to compete for the hosting, although the current shrines are all without real skills. Guy, but don't be careless, after all, it is related to the government's assistance funds for the shrine in the next year." After learning about Ito Cheng's problem, the two began to discuss the shrine's problem.

"I know my father, I will prepare well. By the way, do you want to bring Suzu and Reina together? After all, if I am the only witch, I am afraid that I will be too busy then." Eriko Ito nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"Okay, it's all family business, how can they not participate." Ito Kikujiro said decisively.

"Understood, Dad." Eriko nodded in understanding.

After the two talked, they went back to the outhouse and found Ito Cheng.After Eriko asked Ito Cheng a few more words, she turned and left, leaving only Ito Cheng and the old man Kikujiro.

"Ah Cheng, your mother said that you have recently started to practice the swordsmanship passed down in your family, right?" Kikujiro asked kindly.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the dojo to see your progress, so I can teach you." Kikujiro said.

"Ok."

Ito Cheng got up and followed Ito Kikujiro towards the dojo in the backyard.

The dojo is very large, at least about 100 square meters. The wooden floor is smooth and shiny, with reflections reversed.The two put on their equipment and took their weapons. After giving each other a sword salute, they began to confront each other. Ito Kikujiro gave Ito Cheng the same feeling, and he was still the image of an ordinary old man.

"Ha!" Ito Cheng didn't hold back after all, he stepped forward and cut with his sword.

Ito Kikujiro didn't see any movement either, but casually blocked and slashed Ito Cheng with his sword, forcing Ito Cheng to retreat, but Ito Kikujiro didn't chase after him, but stood still, waiting for Ito Cheng to attack, according to his words It is the progress of inspection.

"Is this the gap..." Ito Cheng felt the gap from the old man's movements.Putting his mind away, Ito Cheng started a steady attack, and used all the swordsmanship that Ito Cheng had learned in Ito Kikujiro's defense.

"Boom" Following Ito Kikujiro's casual counterattack, Ito Cheng's bamboo sword was knocked into the air, and he said, "Okay, that's it."

"Yes." Ito Cheng panted with his hands on his knees.

"Very good, you have fully learned the basics. I heard from your mother that you have only learned swords for less than a month, which shows your talent." Ito Kikujiro nodded and praised with a smile on his face.

"There is no need to learn the basics anymore. Now we are starting to learn something new, the Demon Sword." Ito Kikujiro said seriously, his eyes fixed on Ito Cheng, a huge pressure hit instantly, and it crushed Ito Cheng's body It was just soft, so Hao Xuan didn't directly kneel to the ground.

Fortunately, Ito Cheng is not Ito Cheng, both mentally and physically have made great progress, he gritted his teeth and insisted on Kikujiro's oppression, and at the same time thought to himself, "Sure enough, the old man of the Ito family is not that simple."

Ito Kikujiro was surprised to see his grandson knelt on the ground without being oppressed by his aura, and then he smiled all over his face, slowly increasing the pressure...

"Damn it!" Ito Cheng felt the increasing pressure and persisted with his willpower. He didn't know if it was a second or a minute. The spiritual power in Ito Cheng's body suddenly moved, and in an instant, Ito Cheng felt that the pressure he was under changed. a light.And as the movement of the spiritual power became faster and faster, the pressure of self-resistance became more and more handy, and it gradually became less uncomfortable.

"This is...spiritual power!" Ito Kikujiro looked at his grandson in shock, speechless.
