Chapter 126
The following Monday, the weather: sunny.
Last night was really miserable.
Kaoru Uesugi, carrying a bow bag on his back, stepped on the wet ground and walked to the meeting place at the gate of the school with a listless expression.
There is also a black suitcase with clothes in his hand.
"Uesugi, why does something look wrong with you?" Qing Youya also helped him put the salute into the school bus, turned around and said.
"My head is a little dizzy." Uesugi Kai took off the bow bag from his back and put it in together, saying lazily.
He looked sick rather than lazy.
Kaoru Uesugi suddenly sniffed.
"Have a cold?" Qing Youya also asked.
"A bit."
"Then if you don't want to sleep well, why don't you go for the time being? Let's talk after the cold is cured."
"No need." Uesugi Kai half-opened his eyes and waved his hand to refuse.
Qing Youya also looked at his tired face carefully, "It doesn't matter if you rest for a day or two, we can practice shooting by ourselves first."
Kai Uesugi yawned, his eyes were sleepy, "A slight cold, it's nothing serious, just take some medicine."
"Now I'm sleepy after taking medicine."
"Is it really okay?" Out of concern, Qing Youya also asked.
"No problem," Uesugi Kai waved sleepily, "I'm not weak."
"alright."
After getting on the bus, Kai Uesugi leaned against the glass window, squinted for a while, and waited for all the Kyudo Club participants to arrive, and the bus left Shinjuku.
The high-rise buildings along the way are separated by glass, gradually drifting away in the hazy eyes.
The reinforced concrete turned into a low-rise bungalow, and Uesugi Kai, who was asleep, didn't know how long the car had been driving, but felt that after a short sleep, the location had moved.
Stretching, Uesugi Kai got out of the car following Sugita Sohei who woke him up.
The thin bamboo leaves rustle, and the slow-moving green bamboos are all around.
There is nothing but green in front of my eyes.
Not far away, Chitose Mayi is pulling Fuko Sakurai to squat under the bamboo to take a selfie.
Most of the Kyudo Club members participated in this sleepover training, although there were not many of them.
"What kind of place is this?" Uesugi Kaoru dazzled his surroundings, the smell of fresh air made him more awake than before.
"You didn't read the news in the group?" Suhei Sugita said.
"I didn't see it," Uesugi Kai said.
Sohei Sugita didn't talk nonsense, "Kurokawa."
"Kurokawa?"
Kai Uesugi glanced at the blue sky, it should be noon, "Why did you come to Kumamoto Prefecture!?"
"Near Kurokawa train station next to Tama."
"."
Sohei Sugita went on to say, "Norishi Ogasawara, please help train everyone's shooting style."
The bamboo near the Ogasawara Manor is very tall, more than ten meters, so straight and regular that it only extends downward at the top and bends.
The paths among the bamboo groves are long and winding, and scattered sunbeams pass through the gaps from time to time, like finely divided gold powder, shining around the members of the Archery Department.
The sun shines brightly on the green leaves, and the face is dyed green by the thick shade.
The air is filled with wisps of coolness. In midsummer, this place will be a rare summer resort.
Ogasawara Shiqing is the owner of this manor, with thick and sharp eyebrows and gray hair, he gives the first impression of a rigid and strict old man like their math teacher.
But in fact, this [-]th-dan Fanshi has no airs, and he went out to welcome everyone in person.
Members who participated in this sleepover, holding bow bags more than 2 meters long, and full of curiosity, nodded their greetings to the [-]-dan fan in front of them.
"Teacher." Among the crowd, only Sohei Sugita's title was special.
Ogasawara Noshi, who was dressed in a clean white bow uniform, waved his hands indifferently, and said in an easy-going tone, "Don't be restrained, didn't I often tell you "Learn Zen and enlighten your mind" before? "
"Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're sleepy, don't think or worry, just keep a normal mind."
"Understood." Sohei Sugita raised his head.
"This is the Uesugi you always mentioned, right?" Ogasawara Shiqing smiled kindly at Uesugi Kai behind him, "You can tell from his temperament that he is a capable shooter."
Uesugi Kai nodded lightly and greeted him again, "Ogasawara Fanshi."
"Just like Shuping, just call me teacher."
Kiyosuke Ogasawara looked at the members of the Kyudo Club and said, "Everyone will study with me for a period of time recently, just like what I just said "learning Zen and enlightening the mind", you don't need to be restrained, just relax. "
Everyone responded politely.
As noon approached, Fanshi Ogasawara did not rush to start the arrow delivery ceremony, but first invited everyone to have dinner in his manor surrounded by bamboo forests.
Although it is a manor, in fact, only Ogasawara and his wife live here.
Do everything by yourself, according to Mrs. Ogasawara, when the members of the Kyudo Club arrive, they are busy and at ease.
"Ms. Ogasawara, did you believe in Buddhism?"
Eating is also very casual, Uesugi can always hear words like Zen from the old man's mouth, but his style of acting is simply not like a temple monk at all.
"No," Sohei Sugita put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, "It's just that the teacher likes to say these words."
"It sounds like Buddhism." Uesugi Oi said as he took a mouthful of rice.
Sohei Sugita didn't refute anything. After all, this is also a fact. "Kowdo and Buddhism have a lot to do, and the Bamboo Forest School is deeply rooted in it."
"What school is Ogasawara-sensei?" Kai Uesugi picked up a piece of tofu and ate it with rice.
The old lady's craftsmanship is very good.
Suhei Sugita glanced at him when he heard that, and said in a low voice, "Ogasawara style."
"Oh," Uesugi Kai understood, "No wonder it sounds so familiar."
in the afternoon.
After finishing the Arrow Handing Ceremony hosted by Tokiyoshi Ogasawara, his little cold improved a lot.
After the warm-up, everyone read "Shefa Training" and "Book of Rites: Sheyi" and began to practice.
In the dojo where the bamboo is rustling, the elegant emerald green around it rises and falls with the chirping of some unknown bird.
The five members of the team competition first showed their shooting patterns, and then received the guidance of the eight-dan fanshi under the watchful eyes of the rest of the archery club.
Ogasawara Tokiki closely watched everyone's every move, reaching out his hand from time to time to correct some unnecessary actions:
"Eight sections of shooting method, set foot, build body, prepare the bow, raise, draw the bow, meet, and leave. Remember that each step should start with inhalation, keep the breath sinking, and end with exhalation, and the breathing will be in place naturally."
Gently pat Eiyoshi Tsuboi's abdomen to signal him to contract.
"Concentrate on it, and gently send the air down after inhaling, so that the abdominal wall can expand as much as possible."
"Relax," Ogasawara Tokiki said with a calm face, pinching Hirata Masanobu's tense muscles from drawing the bow, "Maintain a rhythm between the eight knots, breathe in and out, keep even, so that your movements will not be stiff and continuous. "
In the afternoon, it was all about correcting shooting patterns and rhythm.
After repeated adjustments, everyone still didn't grasp the main point. Norishi Ogasawara remained patient and polite, and ended today's training.
It was steaming and steaming.
Uesugi Kai leaned against the hot stone, his face was ruddy, and he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hu~~"
The manor in the bamboo forest actually has hot springs.
Feeling a little dizzy, Kai Uesugi picked up his phone and started a video chat with Hanamaru Hanabi.
The video was connected quickly.
On the other end of the phone, Hanamaru Hanabi's little face was red in a daze, she was squatting on the bed under the quilt, her little nose twitched.
