Makoto Ishiwatari sank into unprecedented darkness.

A kind of cold envelope, so heavy that he couldn't breathe, he shouted frantically, but the cry could only be heard by himself, and his limbs struggled, but his fingers couldn't move.

The suffocation became more and more serious, Ishiwatari Makoto's consciousness gradually blurred, his teeth clenched, and suddenly, all the pressure was relaxed, and in an instant, Ishiwatari Makoto pulled out his sword, although it was only a bamboo sword for practice, but it broke through the air, made a sharp sound, and slashed towards the elementary school student opposite.

"Killing Technique: Soaring Dragon Slash!"

But almost at the same time, Pei Ziyun's wooden knife slashed horizontally, and then there was a violent impact, and the twelve-year-old body involuntarily stepped back and stepped on the lawn.

"Kill!" Ishiwatari jumped up again and slew at the enemy.

"Puff" The two staggered, and the wooden knife and the bamboo sword exchanged blows in the air six times in a row, although it was impossible, Pei Ziyun almost felt the spark of the metal colliding.

"Poof!" The bamboo sword broke, but Ishiwatari Makoto used the remaining half of the sword to swing an even more deadly slash.

"Hey!" Pei Ziyun instantly saw his white eyes, the rich yin qi was boiling, burning at any cost, and when the bamboo sword was five centimeters away from Pei Ziyun's throat, Pei Ziyun shouted.

"Boom" Ishiwatari Makoto was like thunder in the middle, howling like a beast, and the two looked at each other.

Pei Ziyun's ( ̄_ ̄) expression is still the same.

Makoto Ishiwatari showed two sharp canine teeth, fell down, and fell into a coma.

He had a dream.

In his dream, the snow outside was getting thicker and thicker, and his eyes were hazy and he couldn't distinguish at all, he felt cold and numb in his hands and feet, and his feet were in pain, but he was still swinging his sword hard in the open space of the club room.

I don't know how much time passed, but a young girl appeared.

"Mako, is that you?"

The girl didn't answer, but just asked, "Makoto, do you like children?"

She was holding a child in her hand, but she couldn't see the face clearly, and Ishiwatari opened his eyes suddenly.

It was a dream, but it wasn't, he saw the sky, he saw the trees not far away, he found himself lying on the lawn, he was dazed, and moved slightly.

Then I saw the face of a woman.

"Am I saved by you, and how long have I been unconscious?"

"It's only been five minutes, and this one called me. The woman didn't seem to know what was going on, and showed a concerned face: "Why did you suddenly collapse?

The woman looked to be about 25 years old, a little familiar, and after a few seconds, he remembered that this was the cashier in the chain store just now.

"Please go inside and rest, drink some water!" the cashier said and handed over a bottle of water, and Ishiwatari Makoto turned his face and saw Pei Ziyun ( ̄_ ̄), and suddenly woke up.

"I'm too sorry for you, I'm fine, I'll just rest. Makoto Ishiwatari sat on the pier of the park and said sincerely.

"Call me if there's anything. The cashier bowed slightly and stepped back, she obviously didn't know what had just happened, yes, although the battle was fierce, but the process was only a few seconds, and it was easy to ignore.

"Has it come to this point?" Ishiwatari thought, "...... I didn't hurt you just now, I didn't ask your name yet!"

"I used too much force and had a little muscle strain in my hand. Pei Ziyun said, bowing his head slightly: "I'm Shinichi Yamada, please give me a lot of advice." ”

"I'm Makoto Ishiwatari, please advise. Ishiwatari Makoto bowed his head equally seriously: "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble just now!"

"It's okay, what's wrong with you?"

After apologizing seriously, Ishiwatari straightened his back and replied, "Alas, there's nothing wrong. ”

"I'm a weak person who steals his life and causes trouble for everyone, but it's really comforting to see a young man like you here—how many years have you been practicing kendo?"

Pei Ziyun hesitated for a moment, if you say Japanese martial arts, from yesterday to today, it should have been two days, and he stretched out two fingers at the moment.

"It's been two years, it's not easy to learn this level, it can be seen that your talent is very ashamed, but can I ask you one thing?"

"Speak, please. ”

"Give this to Mako Takamori, there's an address on it. Makoto Ishiwatari had slender eyes, and then he said calmly and handed over an envelope.

Then he ripped off an amulet, made of cheap brass, but finely made, with a mark on it, and said, "There is really no other reward, this is for you, and you will learn further swordsmanship with this." ”

"Alright, goodbye. Seito Ishiwatari stood up calmly and said, after saying the above words, he turned to leave, and soon, he found a traditional Japanese inn.

This kind of hotel is often more expensive than staying in a hotel.

Not only that, but the traditional one does not even accept individual customers, but only accepts members and guests recommended by members, of course, this is not the case at all now - the store always has to have income.

As soon as Ishiwatari Makoto entered the door, a kimono woman ushered in, bowed and welcomed the lead, and Ishiwatari Makoto swiped his card and booked a room.

Someone led him in, and he personally changed into clogs and thick socks, and enjoyed all the treatment that a guest should have here.

Waiting for the tea to be served and the special snacks were served, the proprietress got up and led the people to leave: "Please use it slowly, if necessary, just ask, I won't bother much." ”

Makoto Ishiwatari took a white towel to the hot springs, asked for a bottle of sake and entered the hot springs, the environment is good, although it is in the Tokyo area, but the stones are scattered between the mist rising, and the lanterns are half-picked, which is very traditional.

The hot springs are low alkali, and Makoto Ishiwatari washed his body carefully, then put on a kimono and went to his room, took a pen, and wrote a simple letter, and the words were written like dragons and phoenixes.

After writing, he threw the pen, sat down, faced the west, took out a knife, and sighed: "I finally need you, you have been waiting for a long time!"

At this time, Pei Ziyun had already gone home, touched the envelope, and found that the envelope was not pasted, and opened it directly to see that it was a deed and a letter.

I didn't read the letter, I took the deed in my hand and flipped it over, I couldn't help but be stunned, stuffed it back again, and threw it on the drawer in the room, and said, "Bastard, you don't even pay a penny, do you want me to run errands?"

"However, I can't bother with you, so I agreed. ”

As soon as these words fell, a plum quickly appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light.

"Mission: Protect the samurai's wife and daughter out of their tacit agreement (unfinished)"

Pei Ziyun didn't care, closed the data box, because he exercised for a morning, and after a short fight, his back was full of sweat, so he took a shower, cleaned up briefly, and went to the computer again, and said: "You have to buy a computer yourself." ”

I turned on my computer, stared intently at the screen, searched the local forum, and at first there was none, but after half an hour, suddenly there was one.

Pei Ziyun, who took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the screen, and clicked on it.

Sure enough, the title is "Bastard, bastard, scared me to death, someone is seppuku at the Hiraoka Hotel", click on it, and there is a photo of seppuku, although the shooting is not very clear, but it can be clearly seen that this man is leaning forward, not facing the sky on his back.

"Is it orthodox seppuku?"

In the most orthodox seppuku, the cross is cut from left to right, and then the cross is cut up and down, and the internal organs flow out until death from excessive blood loss.

This kind of caesarean section is called "ten-character cut", but it is extremely painful when dying, and it is generally beheaded by the wrong person, but it is not completely cut off, so that the head and neck are slightly implicated.

Careful study of historical materials, in history, samurai seppuku is quite false, most of the time the so-called seppuku, is to use a wooden knife, bamboo knife or fan, symbolically cut on the abdomen, the wrong person will be cut off by the knife, and even directly take medicine and then make mistakes, claiming to be seppuku.

But this man was really seppuku, and it is said that he also left a suicide note, saying that he had caused a lot of trouble to the hotel, and there was a thick envelope with 5 million yen in it, saying that it was a compensation for the damage to the hotel.

However, the title and image of the community, as well as the content, were deleted after three minutes.

"Is it because it's too bloody?"

"Or did the police intervene?"

"This man, probably thought that he had fallen into the devil, and he no longer had the power to resist against the evil cult, so he decided to cut his stomach in order not to become a sinner who slaughtered women and children everywhere!"

"It's none of your business, though. ”

"I just understood that it was the evil spirit that possessed you, and it smelled terrible and full of temptation, so I struck a desperate blow and attacked me with your body, right?"

"It's ridiculous. ”

Pei Ziyun really felt ridiculous, his divine power was locked in his soul, how could the evil ghosts snoop on, if his body was really killed, the power of God would be enough to destroy tens of thousands of evil ghosts in one go!

It's not just this soul that is scattered.

"But in this case, it doesn't seem to be as safe as I thought, I have to restore the legend quickly, and this is inseparable from money, if that man, how nice it would be to give me these five million yen!"

"I don't know the last article, Shiraishi Academy, when will I reply?"

Pei Ziyun thought, put his hands on the keyboard, and thought for a long time before typing the five words "Pu Shangmen Change" in the middle of the blank page, this is the second novella about samurai by Mitsuki Ibuki after "Samurai Under the Cherry Blossoms", the number of words is also not very much, the main theme is the struggle and sacrifice of low-level samurai, and the ensuing historical significance, and meaningless.

Historical significance takes a turning point in the change of the Shinkawa shogunate from modern times to modern times, and more than a dozen ronin brought inspiration and courage to the reform at a critical point.

But what is meaningless is that his wife is determined to stick to her chastity and never remarry, but she got married and remarried the following year, and the daughter of Zhishi, who could not bear the coldness, wrote a desperate poem and hanged herself in the third year.

This article is the sublimation of Mitsuki Ibuki, praised as "half of the charm in the water field", with 30,000 words, although Pei Ziyun typed quickly, but it also took an hour and a half to write.

Pei Ziyun, who had finished writing silently, clicked on it and saved it, but did not send it, and at this time, an email was sent with the title of "Class Graduation Tour", asking to arrive at the school in three days.

"It's really troublesome!" Pei Ziyun saw Yamada Quanmei who came in, and said loudly: "Mom, I'm hungry, give me food." ”

Izumi Yamada didn't seem to know what was happening not far away, and said, "Okay, Shinichi, it seems that the exercise is hard, please wait a minute, let's eat curry rice at noon today!"
