323 Divine Sacrifice
"The Autumnal Equinox Day Divine Festival? You know, there was a holiday that day. Luo Fei was a little confused, Kurosawa Takaxiu asked himself what he meant by this kind of statutory holiday that even children know, did he look like an idiot?
September 23 is the autumnal equinox day in Japan - a national holiday. The day of the autumnal equinox is also known as the other side of autumn. It is also the day when the Japanese make offerings to their ancestors, and on this day, most Japanese people go to the graves to burn incense to commemorate their ancestors, and there are also grand celebrations.
Kameda Midsummer should know best, because the organizers of these festivals are usually the major shrines.
Takahide Kurosawa continued: "For others, this day may only mean holidays and celebrations, as well as rituals to worship ancestors. But for those of us who have been around for a long time, the significance is much more than that. ”
After organizing the words, Takahide Kurosawa continued.
"At a very early age, some big families formed alliances. Everyone gets together to discuss things so as not to cause unnecessary consumption.
Later, it became customary to hold a meeting of these large families on the day of the autumnal equinox, at which some business matters would be discussed and the proportion of each family in these businesses would be allocated for the following year.
However, everyone wants to take advantage of a little more, so it is natural to inevitably fight openly and secretly.
Later, everyone came up with a plan, that is, each family sent a swordsman to compete with each other, and the ranking of the swordsman determined the market share that the family could get in the next year.
And I, the swordsman of the Kurosawa family, was seriously injured in the fight of the previous year and died at the beginning of spring. Until now, no suitable candidate has been found.
I originally wanted to give up and let Harakawa Ryu represent the Kurosawa family. Who knows......"
Kurosawa Takahide's words didn't go on, but the subtext was clear. That is, "Who knew that Qingchuan Dragon was killed by your old man with a sword before he could go into battle!" ”
Luo Fei touched his nose a little unnaturally. It's really not clear.
Harukagawa Ryu's skills are just like that, Kurosawa Takahide himself didn't hide it, he just said it, and it was under the condition of giving up that Harukawa Ryu was allowed to fight.
But right now, this guy who can only play the role of giving up has also been killed by himself, and the Kurosawa family can't even find someone to fight.
There are not a few days before the autumn equinox, although the power of the Kurosawa family is not small, but the master of swordsmanship is no better than anything else, and in a hurry, he really can't find a master who is willing to work for others.
Takahide Kurosawa has just said that. Their swordsman was injured last year, and he lost his life. It can be seen that this kind of competition still has a certain danger.
If a swordsman wants to mix a bowl of rice, it's quite easy. Especially those who have a dan certification in the kendo association.
The situation in front of him naturally does not allow Luo Fei to shirk, he himself wants to cooperate with the Kurosawa family, and no matter whether what Kurosawa Takahide said is true or not, Harukawa Long died at his hands anyway, so Luo Fei had to help the Kurosawa family.
"Mr. Kurosawa, the swordsmen who participated in the competition. What about the strength? Like you said, is it just a reluctant choice for someone like Ryu Harukawa to give up? Since he decided to help with this, Luo Fei naturally wanted to ask about the competition.
Kurosawa Takahide looked very relieved and said, "Those swordsmen are very powerful. He usually lives an ascetic-like life. It's all guys who are obsessed with kendo, and they only have kendo left in their lives.
In terms of strength, it is naturally not comparable to Qingchuan Long. But compared to Nakano-kun, I'm afraid it's still slightly inferior.
That's why I wanted Nakano-kun to play for our Kurosawa family. It's because I feel that Nakano-kun's strength is stronger than them. That's why I dare to tell you these things.
Otherwise, it won't bother Nakano-kun. ”
Takahide Kurosawa's words are beautiful. Seeing that you are powerful, there will be no danger, so I ask you to help.
Luo Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I have absolute confidence in swordsmanship. So I'm going to be there for this favor.
Having said that, Mr. Kurosawa and I are a family, and it is my honor to be able to help in such an important matter. ”
"Thank you so much! It's rude to let Nakano-kun take risks for the Kurosawa family. However, I am very confident in Nakano-kun's strength, because before today, I have never seen such a fast sword! ”
Takahide Kurosawa seemed to let go of his heavy burden, and his whole person seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden.
Of course Luo Fei knows that an old actor like Takashi Kurosawa, you don't have to care about his expression and demeanor, or even his language, you just need to understand what kind of reward you can get after paying.
"I don't know what the rules are for this autumn equinox competition, but please tell me about it."
"Okay, actually, it's not much different from ordinary competitions......"
After listening to Kurosawa Takahide's introduction, Luo Fei realized that there were really not too many rules for this kind of swordsmanship competition that determined how much benefit these big families could get in the coming year.
In addition to the use of bamboo swords and the prohibition of wearing protective gear, there is only one thing left for the participants to be a little higher.
However, this alone separates those so-called swordsmanship masters who are quite famous in the public from this competition.
A swordsman like Haruka Ryu, who has become one of the best on Honshu Island, is also expected to be killed on top of such a competition. Don't be surprised, you can slash your opponent with a bamboo sword. Otherwise, the swordsmen of the Kurosawa family would not have been seriously injured, and there are not a few swordsmen who die in the competition every year. The Kurosawa family just had bad luck this year and didn't find a new replacement.
Now with Luo Fei's joining, Takahide Kurosawa, who had no hope for this competition, has ignited a flame in his heart again.
After telling all this, Takahide Kurosawa said, "Nakano-kun, do you have any special requirements before the competition?" For example, you need a quiet environment and so on. ”
Luo Fei said very casually: "You don't need these, just take me to the competition when the time comes." I'm not the same as those so-called swordsmanship, and I can show my strength at any time. "Nonsense, even if a strong man is not in good shape, there is nothing wrong with beating children.
Kameda Nakatsu, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but shout: "Are you finished?" After that, I'm going to gamble with Nakano-kun. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and there are still some days before the arrival of the autumnal equinox, so you have time to prepare slowly. ”
Kurosawa Takahide and Luo Fei both laughed, and Kurosawa Takahide said: "Okay, I won't delay Kameda Shenguan's time to make a fortune, if you have any needs, you can directly find the service staff here, they are all very capable." ”
The latter sentence was obviously said to Luo Fei, who came here for the first time, Luo Fei nodded, and after saying goodbye to Takahide Kurosawa, he went to the casino under the leadership of Kameda Nakatsu.
There are only a few ways of gambling in this world, even if someone invents a new gambling method, it is also the same, and the changes in the equipment have not developed substantially for many years.
For Luo Fei, who is at the level of the God of Gamblers, the people in this casino are like a room of sheep.
Kameda has never been happier than tonight, and never has he been so proud.
Years of losing money have made Kameda Nakatsu extremely aggrieved.
Following Luo Fei tonight can be regarded as making him addicted to winning money.
It wasn't until the Oriental fish belly turned white that the gamble was over. Being able to come to the town of Kurosawa's family is in itself an affirmation of status and strength, and among these people, some of them are not bad guys.
Of course, there will be down-and-out people who eat and drink and rely on the status of the family to help others, but here, there are not many of these people.
Therefore, Luo Fei and Kameda Midsummer have gained a lot.
According to Kameda Nakatsu, all the money he lost in this life was won back in this night.
Luo Fei didn't say much about this, no matter how much he won, it couldn't compare to the one after the Sea Emperor's feast.
Although these so-called upper-class people bet generously and make generous moves, they are not a bunch of bad gamblers after all, and Luo Fei has no idea of harming people with yin tricks, so in one night, these people don't lose much. It's just that everyone has a share, and no one has run away.
Gather sand into a tower, accumulate a lot.
What's more, the stakes here are higher than those regular casinos outside, and Luo Fei has made a small fortune. At the very least, the expenses during this period are guaranteed.
In stark contrast to the excited Kameda Midsummer, Luo Fei looked a little honored and disgraced, which made the group of people who lost him a lot more good impression of him.
You know, these people gamble money, and such an amount of money is considered a small gamble for most of them. There are really not many people who care about winning or losing like Kameda Chunatsu.
Kameda Midsummer is obviously not short of money, otherwise he would not have made a name for himself in the gambling world by losing.
Kameda Midsummer put his arm around Luo Fei's shoulders very unimaged, and walked to the hot spring with him giggling.
There are hot springs near this town, and naturally it has been developed by the Kurosawa family.
This is Luo Fei's first time in a hot spring in Japan, but he didn't expect that he was not accompanied by Rina Aida and Komi Aoba, or another little girl, but an orange peel old and improper.
Most of the people who played all night have already rested, and the boring ones who had gone to bed early the night before have not yet woken up. The advantage of this is that there are only two people in the entire hot spring pool built around a rockery, Luo Fei and Kameda Nakatsu.
Of course, there are a lot of handsome girls in maid-style kimonos, after all, there are 24 hours a day to meet the needs of guests.
Kameda Nakatsu was accustomed to letting the little girls untie his clothes for him, without the slightest embarrassment. Luo Fei was a little unable to let go, after all, it was the first time to strip naked in the face of so many strange little girls, but seeing that Kameda, an old priest, was so calm, he naturally couldn't lose his face, and forced himself to pretend to have seen the world, and let those little girls toss.
It's just that the little girl who undressed Luo Fei couldn't help but laugh when she took off her pants.
Luo Fei looked down and wiped it, the unicorn arm had a seizure! (To be continued......)
