Chapter 6 Burning the Dirt

On the day of the army's departure, Burning Sky and his colleagues looked at Mt. Hiei not far away, guessing how the war would develop. None of the horses made a different sound, like a sculpture, looking at this sacred mountain. Even if he has been burned by war several times in the past few hundred years, he should have been burned by a large area of blood at this time.

Sure enough, the Oda army attacked in the early morning, and at noon there were horses returning to report the battle to a few of the ministers and staff who had stayed in the camp. Standing outside the courtyard with a large naginata in his hand, he had already heard the shouts of Murai Sadakatsu, the first aide of the Oda family: "Great, the main family has broken through the monks' defenses, and the monks have begun to retreat to Mt. Hiei." Then I heard Niwa Nagahide say to Murai Sadakatsu, "Lord Sadakatsu, be quiet." After that, it was the laughter of several people in the room.

And the surrounding horses also showed a smile, and everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Even the burning of the sky is like a stone falling from the heart, is this a sense of belonging to the Oda family? Burning Sky smiled bitterly, and remembered the solemn and kind face of the Manifestation Mage. Maybe this is the Warring States, the era when fathers and sons were ruthless and unrighteous from top to bottom.

After that, the Ma Hui gradually began to liven up, and several people began to talk about how they would teach their young sons (young children) after returning to Gifu Castle. And Burning Sky has no interest in these topics at all, after all, he is still a Zen monk, and the precepts are still there, so how can he care about the education of the next generation.

Just as Burning Sky continued to look at Mt. Hiei, a colleague suddenly said to Burning Sky: "Burning Sky Shamen, I heard that you are knowledgeable, can you come and teach the dog in your free time to teach the dog in your free time?" After hearing this, he thought about it, and then said with a smile: "If you don't think that you are shallow in learning, you will have time to teach the young son of Lord Zuobei." ”

Seeing that Burning Sky agreed, the rest of the horses also asked Burning Sky to teach their young son. At this time, Burning Sky said: "There is a method below, I don't know if you are willing to hear it." The horses replied loudly, and then burned the sky and said: "In the morning of the next day, you will send your young sons to the residence of the next day, and teach the tigers in the next unified manner, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Then he said with a smile: "At present, there is no place to live in Xiaxia, and after I settle down in Qifu City, I will inform the adults of the congregation, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

After hearing this, the horses thought about it carefully, and immediately thanked the burning sky: "Then there is a labor burning empty sand gate." Then Burning Sky and everyone planned their own course content, and the horses immediately thought carefully about the plan that Burning Sky said, and raised their own questions.

After chatting for a while, the horses were replaced by another part of the horses. Then the crowd talked and laughed with the burning sky, and returned to the Ma Hui camp.

After returning to his residence and resting for a while, he called Ming Shan and Ming Hai, who were helping with chores in the camp, over. After the three of them finished eating a simple rice ball, they all looked at Mt. Hiei, who was a little dazed. At this time, Ming Hai asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, will there be anything wrong with the master?" ”

After hearing this, the already somewhat depressed heart suddenly became heavier. Although Burning Sky knew that Nobunaga would definitely set fire to the temple, he couldn't say anything, so he tried his best to pull out a smile and said to Ming Hai: "The lord is just expelling the monks and soldiers, and he won't hurt ......."

"Senior brother, you don't need to appease us, Master has already told us that the master will not let go of the monks in the temple easily, so let's follow the senior brother and leave, besides, doesn't the name of the senior brother say it all?" Before he finished speaking, Mingshan on the side had already spoken out with a cry.

After listening to Ming Shan's words, the burning sky was speechless for a while, and at this time, Ming Hai was already crying into tears. When the nearby Ma Huizhong saw this scene, they also bowed their heads and sighed.

At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly burst out from Mt. Hiei, and before the horses in the formation could react, a second and third puff of smoke rose. Later, Mt. Hiei was gradually enveloped in countless puffs of smoke, and Burning Sky knew that the catastrophe of Mt. Hiei had begun. At this time, Mingshan and Minghai had obviously completely collapsed, and the two of them had been suppressed for too long in the past few days.

While calming the two, Burning Sky looked at the Yanqing Temple, which had been engulfed in flames. I was determined to survive in this troubled world.

The fire burned all night, the fire was still spreading, and the Yanqing Temple, which had gone through more than 800 years of wind and rain, gradually turned into ashes in the fire. Mt. Hiei has also lost its sacred color, and tears are poured out like mortals at this time. Last night, Burning Sky even heard the deep and mournful screams of Mt. Hiei when the monks were slaughtered.

"The lord has returned to the battle." Standing in front of the camp and staring blankly at the burning sky in the direction of Mt. Hiei, he heard continuous shouting. Later, the remaining commissioner and his staff took the horses back to the front of the battle to greet Oda Nobunaga, who had returned victoriously.

With a wave of his hand, Oda Nobunaga, who was on horseback, and the samurai and ashigaru behind him escorted a group of disheveled young women and children of seven or eight years old. Oda Nobunaga then said to his men: "Mt. Hiei Yankeiji Temple often claims to be a 'holy place of Buddhism', and if it is a 'holy place of Buddhism', how can these women and children explain it, let alone that these are believers, I have never seen a believer on a bed of samun." ”

Then a voice of contempt erupted among the samurai, and then more and more, and even some of the ashigaru began to curse the sand gate of Yanqing Temple. Burning Sky looked at these unrecognizable people, and suddenly a vicious chill spread throughout his body. People always make excuses for their mistakes, even if some of them called themselves "the most devout Buddhists" a few days ago.

While everyone was discussing what to do with these people, Oda Nobunaga said to them, "We will burn all this filthy soil yesterday, and these filthy people should also be burned." "The samurai, who originally thought that they could be assigned a woman as their plaything, suddenly became a little confused, why did the lord want to kill all these people?

While everyone was talking, Oda Nobunaga said to the soulless Burning Sky, "Mt. Hiei is burned in the sky, and you will cut off this first sword." ”

After hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Nobunaga's body trembled a little, but he still subconsciously walked to Oda Nobunaga's horse and said to Oda Nobunaga, "Obey." Then the burning air, whose hands trembled a little, came to the group of people who had become the playthings of everyone.

The naginata in the burning hand could not be raised for a long time, so Oda Nobunaga behind him began to urge. Burning Sky knew that if Nobunaga urged him repeatedly, he might have to end his Sengoku trip early. So Burning Sky closed his eyes, raised the naginata knife in his hand, and then "stabbed", and the woman in front of Burning Sky was cut into two pieces by the sharp blade. And the burning sky didn't look at the woman who was killed by himself during the whole process, which was probably a kind of mental hint that the burning sky gave himself, and if he didn't see it, he wouldn't be afraid.

After that, the samurai stepped forward one by one and sent these people with a difficult fate to the land of bliss in their hearts.
