Chapter 495: Flowing Horse

The Choshu Domain's festival was huge, and thousands of men dressed as samurai seemed to recreate the glory of the samurai.

Chu Yuan and Yamashita Toyoshiro followed the team until they left the city and walked up the mountain.

There are endless mountains in front of you, and you can see a shrine on the mountain in the forefront.

It was the Sayi Society, which was dedicated to commemorating the Samurai.

The ultimate goal of the procession is also there, and sending the sacrifice means that the soul of the samurai has become a Buddha.

Chu Yuan's legs were already sore, and he didn't want to climb the mountain anymore.

As a result, Yamashita Fujiyoshiro had to pull him to climb: "Mr. Chu, you also come up, I want to pay a visit to the Zaoyi Society." ”

"Where are the hermits? I won't worship the Shrine. "Chu Yuan is not happy, why is it so troublesome to see a hermit?

"They will come to us on their own initiative. "Yamashita Fujiyoshiro was a little excited, and he was infected by the Tsuyi Festival.

He really went to worship the Yishe, and even made a wish, making Chu Yuan laugh.

This dozens of years old killer, do you still believe this?

Chu Yuan was waiting outside, and he also stayed away from the group, because it was too noisy.

He stood in the open space to the east of the shrine, looking at the mountains and the sky in the distance, which was very beautiful.

As a result, looking at him, his heart was cold, and he withdrew his gaze and swept it, and there were three samurai standing beside him.

They were dressed like the members of the team, all wearing ancient samurai armor and looking indifferent.

But their aura was obviously different, there was a terrifying beast smell, as if Chu Yuan would fall to the ground as soon as he moved.

Chu Yuan didn't dare to move, and the three warriors didn't move, but they all held the hilts of their swords, like sculptures.

This was very amazing, Chu Yuan felt that he was locked, and he didn't even dare to move his fingers.

This is the aura of a samurai!

But Chu Yuan is the overlord of Asia after all, so he won't be scared, besides, he brought a shadow.

The next moment, three shadows appeared.

Dressed in black, with masks and daggers in their hands, they stood silently beside the samurai.

This situation is very strange, if it weren't for the fact that it was far away from the big army, it would definitely attract onlookers.

The three warriors did not panic, but slowly drew their swords.

The slender katana came out of its sheath and flashed with cold light.

And the Shadow also drew a knife, a short dagger, and a broken hair.

Everything was silent, only the sound of breathing, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

As long as the samurai moves, the shadow will also do it, and a fierce battle will break out in an instant.

At the last moment, the window of the Shoyi Society was suddenly pushed open, and a young man spoke: "Stand down." ”

The katana was sheathed, and the three samurai retreated sideways.

"Stand down, too. Chu Yuan waved his hand, and the three shadows also retreated.

The silent exchange lasted only half a minute, and everything was dead silent.

Chu Yuan turned his head to look at the window and looked at the young man.

He was in his twenties, dressed in a kimono, but his hairstyle was trendy, very Japanese-style, and not old-fashioned at all.

This is too different from the style of the Samurai a hundred years ago, Chu Yuan felt that he was a college student, and he just came back to worship the samurai.

"Asian overlord?" the man spoke, with a bit of a Tokyo accent, but Chu Yuan could still understand.

"Oriental hermit?" Chu Yuan asked rhetorically, the corners of the man's mouth curled: "The Shadow is worthy of its reputation, no wonder it can defeat the poisonous bee." ”

"If you want, you warriors can also defeat the poisonous bees. Chu Yuan smiled back.

Instead of answering, the man started calling.

Chu Yuan waited for a while, the man finished dialing, and Yamashita Fujiyoshiro also came.

He worshiped the Yishe and rushed to find Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan pointed at the man, Yamashita Fujiyoshiro was startled, and said cautiously: "This gentleman, who are you?"

"Takasugi. The man replied briefly, and Yamashita Toyoshiro was taken aback: "Takasugi...... The head of the hermit clan, you are Young Master Takasugi?"

"Don't bother, come with me. Takasugi Yasugi looked very impatient, walked straight out of the Shoyi Society, and then walked towards the back mountain.

Yamashita Fujiyoshiro didn't dare to say anything, and took Chu Yuan away, and at the same time introduced in a low voice: "There are three main families of the Oriental hermit, Takasugi, Kido, and Shisa, Takasugi is the head of the hermit, and General Takasugi is also the samurai leader during the Shogunate Movement. ”

Chu Yuan just listened and didn't interject.

He had already seen from Takasugi Yasuki's attitude that it was very difficult to cooperate with the Oriental Hermit, if it weren't for the shadows, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the hermit.

Chu Yuan pondered and asked Yamashita Fujiyoshiro in a low voice, "Do the Oriental Hidden Clans have any pursuits, and what is their goal?"

"Mr. Chu, don't think about going for it. The hermits have no pursuits, they are old-fashioned people, and they are also the last samurai, don't look at them with modern eyes. Yamashita Toyoshiro smiled wryly.

Chu Yuan was thoughtful, the Oriental hermit clan did not pursue, so it would be even more difficult.

In their thoughts, the three of them had already crossed the mountainside—there was a mountain road, clinging to the mountainside, like a street corner.

Rounding the "street corner", the ground suddenly opened up in front of you, and there was a huge open space here, the size of three football fields.

Chu Yuan and Yamashita Fujiyoshiro were both stunned for a moment, what is the purpose of developing such a large open space on this mountainside?

"This is the Ryuge Racecourse, which is a traditional custom of the Samurai and is held every year. Takasugi explained, "Later, the three hermit clans will arrive, and they will hold a flowing horse race here to commemorate their ancestors." ”

Chu Yuan didn't understand, what kind of horse is flowing?

"The Liudi horse is to shoot arrows on horseback, and it will also be held at the festival, but in the city, I didn't expect the hermit to also hold it on the mountain. Yamashita Fujiyoshiro became excited: "The flowing horses of the samurai are absolutely extraordinary. ”

I see.

Horseback riding and archery here, although simple, but full of wild atmosphere, a bit of a grassland style.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and figures appeared on several mountain roads.

Horses and hermits arrived.

They were all dressed in kimonos, and the samurai were heavily armed and walked up from the four mountain roads.

I have to say that this condition is too simple, but in order to maintain the original style, the hermit has always been like this.

Chu Yuan felt a hint of wildness, the horses raised their hooves and neighed, and the warriors were ready to go, making this humble venue a little more atmospheric.

In the open space, the target was also erected, which was completely an ancient target, and could only be shot with a bow and arrow.

The stray horse is the archery competition.

"Come here. Takasugi suddenly spoke, and took the two of them to meet the hermit.

The high-level leaders of the Yin clan came, and they stood on the viewing platform on the west side, and there were dozens of people, many of whom were young people, all of them sweating and miserable.

The elderly, on the other hand, were silent and very serious, so that the young people did not dare to say anything.

Takasugi Yasugi stood up respectfully and introduced Chu Yuan and Yamashita Fujiyoshiro to the higher-ups.

A group of people all looked at Chu Yuan, except for the young man, the rest of the high-level people didn't have a good face, and they didn't take the initiative to speak.

Chu Yuan took the initiative: "In Xiahuaxia Chu Yuan, I came to visit the Oriental hermit." ”

"I'll talk about it when the stray horse is over. An old man spoke, and he sat at the front, wearing an ancient black hat with a plate and an eye.

His name is Gao Sugi Tianqi, he is the king of the Yin Clan, and he is also Gao Sugi Jing's grandfather, but Gao Sugsu Jing didn't mean to treat him as a grandfather at all, he only regarded him as a king, and he was so respectful.

"Mr. Chu, let's stand aside and don't speak. Yamashita Fujiyoshiro immediately pulled Chu Yuan back and stood respectfully.

The scene fell silent, and although it was hot and dusty, no one dared to speak.

Chu Yuan looked at the younger generation of those hidden clans, they were quite modern, just like Gao Shanjing, but they didn't dare to take a breath at this moment, and they were all about to be swallowed by dust.

The atmosphere was very oppressive and uncomfortable.

The authority of the Oriental hermit father's generation has created such oppression.

I don't know how long it took, but the wandering horses finally began.

One by one, the samurai stepped on their horses with bows and arrows in their hands and began to perform archery.

These samurai were also very depressed, and they performed well, apparently having been trained countless times.

Gorgeous and ornamental, but soulless.

The high-ranking members of the Yin clan praised it again and again, as if they had regained the glory of ancient times.

But Chu Yuan looked drowsy, he felt that the Oriental Yin Clan was too old-fashioned, and even the archery competition became a performance.

Finally, the stray horses were over, and the clearing was already covered in dust, and smoke billowed everywhere.

Chu Yuan covered his mouth and nose, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Huaxia people, you are the first outsider in a hundred years to appreciate the Flowing Horse, what do you think of the Flowing Horse?" Takasugi Apocalypse suddenly spoke, his words vaguely filled with pride.

Everyone looked at Chu Yuan, hoping to get Chu Yuan's praise.

Yamashita Fujiyoshiro also pulled Chu Yuan and asked him to say good things.

Chu Yuan secretly sighed: "It's pretty good." ”

Everyone laughed, and Takasugi Apocalypse nodded: "Asia has a large population, but it is very backward, and we have defeated the shogunate with samurai, opened the first people's wisdom in Asia, and surpassed Huaxia in a short period of time, which is a great achievement." ”

"When you come to the East this time, you have seen the Liudi horses, and you should also appreciate the charm of our Oriental people leading Asia. ”

Well?

Chu Yuan has a question mark, brother, where is your charm?

In this dusty mud?
