002 Monk
There was a bit of a walk to get to Edo, and after a two-day trip, Nanami arrived at a village in central Japan.
The village is not rich, but it is very calm and comfortable, and the closer you go, the more you can feel this breath of peace, and the people in the village do not have a nervous look on their faces, but a little smile on their faces.
"It's incredible."
Nanami got out of the carriage and said goodbye to the owner, and for the next period of time she was going to walk to Edo, on the one hand, it was a tempering for herself, so that on the other hand, after bothering people for so long and not giving any money, Nanami's not too thick face was finally polished.
"Ah, where did the entanglement of those swordsmen in the novel come from, no money, really" Qishi shook the money bag with only a little bit of money left.
"Wherever you go, it's where you go."
If you choose to be a bodyguard for some caravans, you can probably make some money, but who would hire a fifteen-year-old girl like Qishi as a bodyguard.
Life is really difficult, Qishi sighed.
Next, let's find a place to stay tonight.
I walked around the village and asked the local villagers about the local situation.
Because of her accent, Nanami didn't understand much what the villagers were saying, but she probably understood that it had hardly been disturbed by bandits in the past few years.
It's inconceivable that it is very difficult for such a somewhat affluent village to maintain peace today.
"Sister!"
The corner of the clothes was caught, and Qishi found a girl of six or seven years old standing behind him.
"Sister, don't you have a place to go?" She asked Qishi.
"Ah, yes."
Qishi bent down and touched the girl's head, he was only one meter six and almost tall, but this child was even smaller, which was really cute.
"Then go to the monk! The monk is very good, and he will definitely take my sister in. ”
And, monk?
Qishi heard this unfamiliar term again. It seems that from that time in the Tang Dynasty, there were already temples in Japan.
"You, can you take me?"
"Hmm!"
On the way, Qishi learned that the little girl's name is Tsubaki, and she is the daughter of the village chief, but Tsubaki obviously doesn't have a little bit of the gentleman's temperament.
After walking all the way, he had already left the village and entered the mountain forest, and heard the sound of the water crashing against the rocks in the distance, and Tsubaki grabbed Nanami's hand and ran forward quickly.
"Sister, sister, the monk is here."
Qishi saw a waterfall, and under the torrent stood a man, who was not strong, of ordinary height, wearing cloth clothes and shoes, with a white turban wrapped around his head, his hands folded and his eyes closed, his mouth reciting scriptures, and his body was beaten by the torrent but did not move.
This person is so solid in kung fu.
Qishi didn't move, she stood in place, looking at the monk, and the monk also sensed their arrival, and opened her eyes to look at Qishi.
Unexpectedly young.
Seeing that his lower plate is as stable as the foundation of a thousand-year-old tree, Qishi thought that he would be an older person.
The monk looked at Qishi's sword.
"Monk! I brought the man with the sword! Tsubaki walked to the river, and the monk went ashore.
"Didn't you say that you shouldn't approach someone with a sword?"
"Humph!" The little girl was very unhappy to hear what the monk said.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry."
The monk apologized at a loss, but from the perspective of outsiders, the monk had done nothing wrong.
He is unexpectedly kind, and he looks like a bully.
It seems redundant to be so alert.
"This master."
"No, there's no need to call me master, everyone calls me a monk, so you can call it that." The monk bowed to the seventh.
"Huh! Monk, didn't you say that people with swords are bad people? Tsubaki was surprised.
Well, hacked again.
Qishi guessed that this little girl's original intention was probably to let the monk kill herself
"If this sister is a bad person, you will already have an accident on the way."
The monk smiled innocently.
Fortunately, he is a sensible monk, and Qishi sighed.
"The girl is a foreigner? Looking for a place to stay? ”
"That's right."
The monk bowed to Qi, "If you don't mind, go to the Han Temple to borrow it." ”
The process was a little delicate, but the result was still the same, ignoring Tsubaki's grimace at herself, Nanami followed the monk to a place called Shirakuji Temple.
This is a very small temple, there is only one monk in the temple, it is said that it is because the world is too chaotic recently, the small temple can not afford to support others, everyone packed up their luggage and went to their own things, only the monk remained, he is a warrior monk, a person farming, a person to cultivate Buddhism, plus often come to join in the fun, the monk's life is not boring.
There is only one guest room, and it is more than enough for Qishi to live, and the environment is really not superior to sleep in the carriage these days, this small room is already very luxurious in Qishi's opinion.
The room was tidied up with the help of the monk.
Seven solid also had some doubts in his heart, although the answer was already there.
"Monk, are you guarding this village alone?"
Seven real questions
"yes." The monk replied
"What about the villagers? I don't know? ”
"Tsubaki knows."
Silently guarded.
"The Buddha doesn't want to see blood." The monk said, "If I do more good deeds, more people will be blessed in the future. ”
"Wait." Seven realities met a master for the first time.
She wanted to compete with the monks.
The monk shook his head and left without saying anything.
"Okay." Failed.
This monk is not an aggressive person, he has practiced all his skills and used them in a good way.
It's very similar to the master.
"Hey, if only the master could be so considerate." I imagined it a little bit, and I imagined the appearance of Kiyojuro with a smile on his face and a soft voice.
Nanami had a stomach ache.
"Forget it, rest well, and leave tomorrow morning." I have to go to Edo as soon as possible, and if I can go to the trial hall where I am naturally relieving, I can ask for help to find a job where I can make a living.
As long as his ability is recognized, Qishi is confident that he will not fall on the streets.
Speaking of which, the head office also has nineteen.
What a point he's gotten to.
The legendary Shinsengumi is the first
The monk did not sleep.
He left the temple and began his final practice of the day.
As long as he is alive, the people of this village will be stable and happy, and he will be kind to the mountains for a long time, so as to repay the Buddha's teachings.
