Chapter 348: Confusion with a capital letter
Clogs, referred to as sandals, are traditional Chinese two-tooth clogs that squeak when walking, suitable for walking on mud on rainy days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info if the upper is made of silk, it is called silk sandals. Clogs are the common clothing of the Han people before the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially during the Han Dynasty, and have not been interrupted, and the clogs are still very popular in the Chaoshan area.
Japanese geta is also known as Shimoka. The bottom of the wood is usually made of paulownia or fir. The tandem refers to two clogs with the same teeth in the front and back of the stage. The one with only one tooth is called "a book of camels". The "Ichichishita Camel" is used for walking on mountain trails, especially for monks practicing in the mountains and mountain lodgers.
A book may have originated from Xie Gong's handi. The material of the countertop nose is varied since ancient times, and it is often made of hemp, palm, straw, bamboo skin, arabesque, and leather wrapped in cloth in ancient times. The colored nose is also called "flower line".
The general historical origin of Japanese geta is that it originated in Japan itself, but the lineage of southern China and Southeast Asia, as well as the lineage of northern Asia and the Korean Peninsula, was also absorbed by Japanese clogs.
In the Qin Kingdom, across the sea, people have long worn shoes made of cotton cloth or stronger materials. As for the shoes worn by soldiers in the army, they are specially made and provided by special departments to adapt to different environmental characteristics.
"Haha, General Meng, it's good to get used to it"! Regarding Meng Tian's complaints, Wu Fei could only comfort him like this.
Now all the islanders around them were dressed in wide kimonos, and the creaking clogs were also stepping on their feet; If he and Meng Tian didn't dress up in the same way, they would be very different in the crowd. Therefore, in order to blend in with the crowd, no matter how unaccustomed the clogs under your feet are, you have to learn to adapt.
The members of the assessment who had landed on the reef group before, as Meng Tian guessed and expected, did not take immediate action, but first found an inn in the local area to live in, and then made a detailed plan to go out to the six islands in batches to investigate and collect intelligence.
Because they quietly entered the border of Japan under the leadership of Wu Fei, and after entering the island, two of the members of this group of assessment members were very skilled disguise masters. For the first time, they imitated the clothing style of the residents of the local islands of Japan, and made a makeover for the other members of the assessment team.
After the transformation, all the assessment members seem to be no different from the inhabitants of the island. If they were in the sight of the other inhabitants of the island, they would not have been recognized.
Of course, it was the Soul Eater who made the intelligence spy and collection plan, and he divided all the assessment members into five groups equally, and went to different islands to collect the information needed for the mission, and made several different retreat routes according to the map issued by Wu Fei.
Making a line of retreat before the operation begins does not mean that they are greedy for life and afraid of death. And it just shows that they are experienced and experienced, and they can make more than enough progress and retreat in the process of carrying out tasks, and they are in order. Once the first operation fails, they can completely learn from the experience again and make a comeback after retreating, until they perfectly complete the task assigned to them by Wu Fei.
After about half an hour of layout planning, all the assessment members went to the five islands that make up Japan to survey according to the arrangement of the Soul Eater. As for the Soul Eater himself, he chose the island where the supreme ruler of Japan ~ the emperor lived, and went to collect intelligence and investigate.
He knew that the place where he was going to gather intelligence and scout was the most difficult of all the six islands. Because it was the place where the Japanese emperor lived, just like the Xianyang Imperial Palace where Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng of the Great Qin Empire lived, there were countless guards all over it.
These guards are the top beings selected from the entire country's army, and in terms of strength, they do not belong to every member of the assessment team at all. So, just in case, he personally took on this difficult task and prepared to go to the intelligence gathering work.
At this time, the street where Meng Tian and Wu Fei were located, as the flow of people gradually continued to move forward, they also came to the end of the street.
"Wow, it looks like an old cherry blossom tree!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
At this time, directly in front of Meng Tian and Wu Fei, there was a cherry blossom tree that looked very old. Its canopy is like a large umbrella that spreads out, covering the world. The radius of the torso is a meter long, and hundreds of people with hands may be able to surround it.
Pink cherry blossoms bloom on top of the leafy branches, and a gentle breeze blows through the branches, and countless cherry blossoms are blown into the air from the branches, and it seems that there is an extremely romantic and dreamy cherry blossom rain between heaven and earth, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
It's no wonder that even a martial artist like Meng Tian, who has been galloping on the battlefield for most of his life, can express such emotion, just because this kind of beauty is so charming. To borrow a famous poem: This scene should only exist in the sky, how many times can I see it in the world?
Between the branches of the old cherry blossom trees, small strips of cloth tied with thin red bands hang from them. The entire canopy of the cherry blossom trees is quite interesting and fun.
The inhabitants of the small island, who flock to the streets under the ancient cherry blossom trees, bow down to the ground and put their common currency in the donation boxes on the side. Later, a special person standing next to him will hand over a red strip of cloth.
Because they didn't understand anything when they first arrived, and they didn't know what kind of rituals these residents were performing now, Wu Fei and Meng Tian did not follow the crowd to receive the red cloth strips, but chose to wait and see.
"Master Hou, what are they doing here? Is it a sacrifice"?
Because this kind of ritual looked similar to the sacrifice of the Great Qin Empire, Meng Tian asked Wu Fei with some doubts.
"Well, I don't know this very well, let's take a look first!"
Hearing this, Wu Fei looked embarrassed.
It was also the first time he had arrived at this place, so how could he have known about this ritual?
โใขใฆใคใฅใญใงใฌใฏใณใซใญใตใปใใ ใใใฟใใใผใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใ ใใใใผใฟใฟใใใใใใใใใใโใ
Just when the two of them were stunned at the same time, suddenly, an old man with white hair, wearing a white kimono and a high hat came out from the host on the side. When the old man came to the middle of the ancient cherry blossom tree, cleared his throat and began to speak, the crowd below was all quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was quiet, and there was no sound at all.
"What is he talking about? I can't understand a word of it."
Regarding Meng Tian's doubts, Wu Fei also spread his hands this time, indicating that he didn't know what the old man was talking about.
Who made it popular for everyone to learn English in the 21st century? If you learn Japanese, you won't be able to fully understand what the old man is saying, but you can still understand a sentence or two!

In the confusion of Wu Fei and Meng Tian, the old man continued his speech.
