8. The heir of the throne and the destroyer of the throne

"Master! It's great that you're safe and sound! "As soon as I returned to the Aoi House, the little ghost orangutan had already pounced on me, hugged me, tears and snot were smeared on my clothes, "You didn't come back for a day and a night, I thought it was ......"

"Think I've been eaten by a youkai?" I couldn't cry or laugh, "You guy, you can't help but have too little confidence in your master......

- At least I never thought about which youkai would eat Urahan Chef. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"But...... It was eaten even by the master of the main mountain of Mt. Enryaku (the headquarters of the Nichiren sect......"

Thinking of the monk who died in vain at the hands of Kikyo, I couldn't help but sigh.

He thinks Kikyo is a youkai and wants to kill her, but she kills her.

Obviously, it's not Kikyo's fault, and if I were her, I wouldn't show mercy to the enemy who wanted to kill her.

If you want to blame this era, the constant turmoil and war make people's hearts full of fear and uneasiness, and the slightest stimulation will explode......

"Where's Miaoyun? Did he go to Ishiyama to buy rice again? I looked at the lively Aoi House in the evening, but I didn't notice that the eldest disciple was already more burly than many adults, and I couldn't help but sigh again - unlike the orphan Gorilla Tokuan, the corpse Miaoyun has elderly and frail parents and siblings in the family, and the eldest brother's soldier's salary is barely enough to support his family's livelihood, as the second son in the family, in order to make his family eat better, he often works part-time jobs to earn money to buy rice (Japanese people generally eat wild vegetables and brown rice), but rice in Sakai Town is very expensive, so he always has to travel hundreds of miles to buy rice in nearby Ishiyama Town.

It's funny to say, the reason why this kid worships me as a teacher is actually because he happened to see my strange powers, and he thinks that if he learns my kung fu, he can carry a few more bags of rice back at a time......

However, I saw a melancholy look on the face of the hostess.

"What's wrong?"

"Little corpse, that kid...... This morning, the monks of the Nichiren sect came to this place and said that the madman was their important person, and the one who died was actually one of the elders of this generation. She said sadly, "Those monks want to search your room, but the little corpse will not let you, and you will be injured by them, and you are still lying in bed and can't get up......"

What the!

I finally understood why Kikyo, who even bandits and beggars would come to his aid, killed the monk - these damn bald asses are bastards!

Fortunately, we have two practitioners here who are good at spiritual healing, and Kikyo is a master of this way, so after half an hour, Corpse Miaoyun is already alive again.

"Maitreya, old cow, can you please wait another day?" I tidied up my outfit and said as casually as I could, "I have some personal matters to attend to." ”

"Let's go......" Maitreya found a seat and sat down, and asked the proprietress to serve some snacks, "Let's have dinner first." ”

"Go early and come back early, otherwise the beef will be out of your share." The bull demon, who was completely lacking in cow consciousness, took out a large piece of half-cooked beef out of nowhere.

I squeezed out a smile that would definitely not look good, and walked out of the Aoi house.

……

"Miaoyun, De'an, are you interested in going out for a walk with me?" At dinner, I said to two apprentices who were attacking boiled beef, "I'm going to Ankokuji Temple near Kyoto for a gathering of friends, so come with me and open your eyes." ”

Of course, the scarlet was very happy, but the corpse Miaoyun showed a little embarrassment.

I understand his difficulties: when the eldest brother is a soldier, God knows when he will die on the battlefield, if he is gone, and the eldest brother has another misfortune, who will take care of his parents and younger siblings?

"Let your eldest brother retire from the army, anyway, the military system here is not strict, as long as you pay a fine." As I spoke, I took out two gold sentences, "In addition to paying the fine, there should be a lot of money left, let him buy two acres of land......"

"Master! I can't take this money! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Dare to resist the master's order, you little ghost begging for a beating! I rolled up my sleeves and feigned anger, "Believe it or not, I've beaten you like those thieves!" ”

"I knew that Master Master must have chased him out to fight......" Gorilla Dean muttered in a low voice, pushing the senior brother who was in a dilemma, "Stupid little corpse, this money should be used as an advance salary, and it will be slowly returned to Master Master in the future." ”

This little imp is clever......

"Now, Master, I'm also your disciple......" He changed his words, but stretched out his hand to me, "As the head of the third chome, I also have a lot of younger brothers to settle down......"

This stinky boy!

In the laughter of Maitreya and Niu Gundam, I was unwilling to take out two more gold judgments.

Fortunately, a lot of loot was seized from the thieves......

……

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Aoi House and Sakai Town, we set off for Kyoto.

For me, the purpose of this trip was twofold, the first was to visit Ashikaga Shogun, who was also a traveler, and the second was to ask the high monk Ikyu to help me treat my amnesia.

Yes, it's a pity that Maitreya, Gouda, and Kikyo didn't cure my amnesia.

Even though Kikyo is a super genius shrine maiden who claims to only come out once a thousand years, and even though the traverser Ushiko Gouda is an ancient demon who has truly lived for a thousand years, they can't come up with any good solutions for my weird amnesia.

As a result, when we arrived at Ankokuji Temple on the outskirts of Kyoto, all they could do was perform the spell once a day, so that I could avoid losing my mind because of the memory coming back.

Overall, it's not a bad result, at least I don't have to worry about maybe getting cranky in the middle of a fight and then getting killed.

"No matter what, Master Master is very powerful!"

"Yes! Master, you don't have to worry too much, whether you remember the past or not, it won't damage the glory of your great swordsman! ”

Two imps...... I'm glad you guys say it, but when did I become a swordsman? Why don't I know it myself? Also, the fool De'an, who thinks he is smart, what you said is the line in the story of Jianhao told by the storyteller in the village you passed by last night! Master, what I have lost is only the memory of the past, not the ability to remember!

So, I simply tapped the imp on the head - just enough to give him an extra 0.5cm packet.

"It's good to have an apprentice...... Lao Niu sighed, "Sure enough, fitting is a man's romance!" ”

Hey, what does your sentence have to do with the previous article?

"Children are so funny," Maitreya sighed, but then he came with a fierce line, "Sango, let's have a few children as soon as possible!" ”

Not to mention the female exorcist's suddenly flushed face, I just want to say one thing:

Under normal circumstances, there are only two at most at a time, but the minimum standard of "several" is three......

The group made a lot of noise and entered Ankokuji Temple, which was located on the hillside.

This temple where the brigadier general is stationed in Xi does not seem to be prosperous, but there are many temporary tents nearby, and many guys who know that they are nobles or samurai at a glance are hurriedly walking around, not knowing what they are busy with.

Since it is a temple, of course, monks are indispensable, but on the faces of these monks who are supposed to be far away from the world, I don't see the slightest indifference and calm, only the vanity of fame and the desire for wealth and status.

It's exactly the same as those samurai and nobles.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I always feel disgusting...... Maitreya sighed, and said in Chinese, "these guys have never cared about the suffering of the people in their heads, and they are not afraid of Buddha or glory or anything like thatβ€”all they think about is the ...... of soaring."

"Even monks are like this...... "Niu Gundam also said in Chinese, "and sure enough, only the flames of nuclear bombs can purify this filthy world!" ”

"If you want to get a nuclear bomb, you can do it......"

"Long-winded! Long-winded! Long-winded! "This time he said it in Japanese.

"Even if you say that, it's not cute!" Maitreya pinched his throat as he spoke, and said in a vivid female voice, "Tsundere or something, the most annoying!" ”

"It's not enough 'love'!" A cheerful voice came from not far away, and I saw a tall and handsome monk holding a folding fan, and walked over with a spring breeze, "Long time no see, when did you two start playing this set of selling cute?" ”

When he learned my identity, he introduced himself with a smile: "I'm Michie, the common name Ashikaga Yoshikyo - just changed, Hello Zhenwujun, meet for the first time, please take care of me in the future." ”

…… This is not the attitude of a dignified general, right......

"After all, I'm different from you combat departments, I'm just a civilian." Daohui explained, "A lot of times, a lot of things, I have to ask for your help. ”

So in the polite voices of "easy to say, good to say", we quickly became friends.

Then, Daohui ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet to catch the wind for his friends who had come from afar.

On the small table, all vegetarian dishes were served, and the four traversers sat on the four sides of the table.

Yes, it was a small private dinner.

Even wives, brothers, apprentices, and allies were excluded, and it was an outright "private banquet".

A gathering of the traversers.

At the meeting, Michie β€” who should now be called "Ashikaga Yoshikyo" β€” said a lot about himself:

The work he traveled through may be "Clever Ikyu", because he became a monk at Ankokuji Temple when he was a child and became the only disciple of Ikyu Sojun.

Different from the original work, many of the monks here have mana, and Ikkyu Zongchun is one of the best, only twenty-five years old to cultivate the arhat fruit position, and has achieved achievements that have attracted the attention of all practitioners, and is known as "the first person below Qingming".

But Ashikaga Yoshikyo himself,But he has no talent for cultivation at all.,He's obviously doing the same practice as Ikyu.,But so far,Not to mention the fruit position.,Even the lowest results haven't been achieved.,It's just like Uejo Dangma's talent in superpowers.,It's rotten to the extreme.。

However, fate is fair after all, and when Ashikaga Yoshikyo lamented the bumpy road of his cultivation, he unexpectedly found that he had an amazing talent for design and production - so he was born as a senior otaku, and soon turned his attention from practice to another direction - scientific research.

"To put it simply, I've been climbing the tech tree." He took out a weapon that resembled an old-fashioned pistol, "I don't know why there is no such thing as an 'iron cannon' in this world, and even Europeans don't have firearms, so the Lingzi pistol I made should be unique......

"Shouldn't the climbing technology tree start with agricultural product improvement and steel smelting?" Maitreya didn't seem to be very familiar with him.

"Do you think that with my identity, I can do such a sensitive thing?" Ashikaga replied with a wry smile, "Daddy died early, and my eldest brother has always looked at me unpleasantly-just like when my dad looked at Ikyu, but my eldest brother's bearing can't be as big as my father's, so if I really make a big move, I'm afraid that if I start tossing today, he will order me to cut my stomach tomorrow with a piece of paper......"

Politics...... It's really dark and corrupt......

"But fortunately, you can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon now, and you can show your strength in the future, right?" Lao Niu hurriedly changed the topic, "Is Jin Lin a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm, where are you going to start next?" ”

"Nothing can be done." Ashikaga still replied with a wry smile, "When I became a shogun, I realized that the shogunate's system had long been rotten to the roots, and there was no shortage of capable people here, and there was no shortage of loyal people, but everyone was troubled by the rotten system and complicated relationships, and there was no way to ......show it."

"Forget it, don't mention these unpleasant things, drink! Drink! ”

"That's right, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there are always more ways than problems." Maitreya also raised his glass.

"I wish you to solve those big and small troubles as soon as possible and become a generation of Ming Jun!" I picked up the empty cup and refilled it.

"Free the souls bound by gravity! NEWTYPE is the hope of the future! The old cow still didn't know what to do, but fortunately his wine glass didn't make a mistake.

"!"

After the banquet, we accompanied Ashikaga and secretly received a guest.

This is a handsome and beautiful young man, who looks more like a woman than a man, but he exudes a dazzling aura, which is extremely powerful and divine, and obviously belongs to the gods of the heavenly realm.

His name was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and he was the son of Catholicism and the leader of the Shimabara rebel army.

Amakusa was confident in his own strength, so he knew that Ankokuji Temple was now heavily guarded, but he still infiltrated alone to discuss peace with the new shogun.

He did not want to continue the current war, the rebel army was mostly some peasants who had never received military training, even if some achievements were made under his command, but it was not enough to shake the rule of the shogunate, and the current results were only because of the change of shoguns, and the princes from all walks of life were watching and being exploited by them, once the shogunate returned to normal operation, this behemoth would soon be able to crush the small army that only occupied the original castle.

As it happens, Ashikaga doesn't really want to fight either.

So the two sides hit it off, agreed to an armistice soon after, and the two sides selected good debaters to debate the teachings of Catholicism and Buddhism, and to engage in a dispute over Taoism.

Amakusa walked and walked satisfied, he got the result he wanted, and it far exceeded his previous expectations.

And Ashikaga also got what he wanted - temporary peace.

"This guy will challenge you sooner or later." Looking at Amakusa's distant figure, Maitreya couldn't help but say, "At a glance, he knew that he was a guy who advocated the idea of equality, and sooner or later he would raise an army to overthrow the rule of the shogunate." ”

"I know."

"Then why did you let him go!"

"Is there anything wrong with overthrowing the shogunate and establishing a society where the four people are equal?" Ashikaga asked Maitreya in a word.

"I don't have nostalgia for the throne of the general. But because I inherited it, I had to do it well. Ashikaga looked at the full moon that gradually rose to the zenith, and said leisurely, "I am the one who inherited the throne, he is the one who is determined to destroy the throne, I seek stability, and he pursues progress, for this country, we are all necessary and indispensable." ”

………………

Please don't ask me what the title means, thanks.

It's late, so it's not verbose.

Good night, everybody.
