62, Shura's Wrath (II)
"Xianzhi...... "I opened the door and called softly." Are you available now? I want you to meet personally! ”
"Who?" Xianzhi stopped what she was doing and looked up at me. At this time, Ying was arranging the servant woman who was going to go to Ruojiang City the day after tomorrow, and in the house, except for Xianzhi, only the little maid named Butterfly was playing with Xian Limaru.
"Look at it, do you recognize it?" I walked into the room with a calm smile and Shinhachiro appeared at the door. Xianzhi's face suddenly turned snow-white, and her lips began to twitch slightly.
"Sister!" Shinhachiro shouted happily.
Xianzhi stood up and walked in front of Shinhachiro step by step. "You bastard!" She scolds and punches Shinhachiro in the chest.
"Sister?" Shinhachiro was stunned by the punch, even though a blow of this magnitude would not cause him any damage.
"You bastard...... "Senshiba's fist rained down on Shinhachiro's body as tears welled up in his eyes. …… Bastard...... You're gone for seven years...... Grandpa died...... You didn't ...... Sweep the ...... of the tomb Do you know how worried I am about you...... Bastard...... "With the sound of choking, her fists became lighter and lighter, but the tears flowed more and more.
"Sister......" Shinhachiro didn't know what to say, and stood there stupidly, with tears in his eyes.
I didn't dissuade it right away, the feelings that have been accumulated for a long time need a chance to vent! Glancing back at Fluttershy, she nodded knowingly, took the fairy carp pill into my arms, and quietly withdrew. Senkomaru obviously couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him, but he obediently didn't make a sound, just stared at the two big dark eyes curiously while sucking the index finger of his right hand.
"That's it! Don't be sad since you've already returned......" After waiting for a while, I felt that Xianzhi had changed from crying to sobbing. "Let's let Shinhachiro tell me about his experience over the years!"
"I'm nothing!" Shinhachiro reached out and scratched his scalp. "We went to Nara after we left Cheongju with Master, but then we didn't stay there very often, but we ...... a lot."
Shinhachiro's language expression skills are not very strong, and after talking for a long time, I only roughly understood the following: Treasure Academy Yinrong's education method for him is a combination of theory and practice, and every time he learns a new move, he picks a martial arts hall of the corresponding level to challenge, so as to achieve the purpose of applying what he has learned and mastering it as soon as possible! They have traveled many places over the years, and victories are frequent, and of course there are not a few failures and injuries. Xianzhi was obviously very dissatisfied with this level of understanding, so he asked about the details of his concern one by one, from the padded jacket in winter to the prickly heat in summer, from what medicine he took when he was sick to whether he usually drank boiling water, all of them were asked, and sometimes he had to ask again or twice if Shinhachiro couldn't say it clearly.
"Hmm!" Probably seeing that Senshiba's emotions had calmed down, Senkamaru began to shift his attention, and he twisted his body in an attempt to break free from my embrace to find a new toy. Because he was in a hurry to bring Shinhachiro to meet with Xianzhi, he didn't have time to let him put down his luggage, and what Senkamaru was interested in at the moment was the giant spear that was placed next to the big baggage.
"Well, don't move!" After suppressing Senkomaru's curiosity, I also cast my gaze over there.
If you don't look at the long hilt of the spear below and ask what it is, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will answer: it's a two-handed knight's cross heavy sword from the European Middle Ages! The blade of the sword, which is about a palm wide, is two feet seven or eight long, and the blade lines on the side are in the form of galloping radials, and small glittering particles can be seen in between, as if they were looming dragon scales in the turbulent waves. I don't know if it's my hallucination, but when the backlight is backlit, a bodhisattva figure with light waves and dancing faintly appears in the middle of the sword's spine. The width of the bell is very wide, extending an inch and a half on each side, and it is gilt and decorated with a lotus pattern, like a flattened lotus platform. The barrel of the gun was more than three meters long, and it shone with a faint black light, and it was also covered with glittering particles like golden sand, like the effect of car paint. With such a peculiar shape, this weapon has actually become a "monster" between a spear, a long knife, a three-pointed two-edged knife, a lance, and a boring! It's good that my room is big enough, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fit it. "This is the blade that cost me 10,000 times?" I made a mental assessment.
“…… Look at you, you've lost weight! Senshiba finally agreed with Shinhachiro's account, but still looked him up and down with loving eyes, as if he had to find some traces of abuse before he was willing.
"I didn't eat anything! But ......" Shinhachiro said with a worried face: "I haven't been able to eat my sister's barbecue all these years, it's really painful for me!" Several times I woke up in the middle of the night, and I thought I might as well just run home! ”
"You've really suffered...... said Xianzhi, who had finally stopped tears and reappeared in her eyes. You wait! I'm going to do it for you!" She stood up and said to me, "You talk to Shinhachiro first, and the meal will be ready in no time!" ”
"You're such an adult!" I sighed at Shinhachiro, and the scene outside Cheongju City came to my head again. "Come to Xian Limaru, call uncle!" I took one of Senkomaru's hands and shook it at Shinhachiro.
Senkomaru looked at Shinhachiro curiously, but he couldn't accurately grasp such an obscure word for a while, and only a few babbling syllables came out of his small mouth.
"I didn't expect that it has changed so much in a few years, and I even have a nephew!" Shinhachiro grimaced at Senkomaru, making Senkomaru giggle. "Big brother, you have really been in the limelight in the past few years, and I have heard people talk about you everywhere. You can rest assured! With me by your side from now on, whoever you want is just a word! ”
"Ha, ha, ha、......" His pride made me laugh. Have you learned martial arts? ”
"Hmm!" Shinhachiro nodded. "Master said that there is nothing left to teach me, let me continue to cultivate in practice! He also said that although I have a lot of experience in actual combat, fighting and fighting are not the same thing, and it is up to me to improve further! ”
"But......" My eyes slipped to the strange gun. Can you make this kind of 'thing', the spear skills of the treasure courtyard flow, useful? "Although I don't know it myself, I often watch Ke'er hide drills.
"Although I can also treasure the spear skills of the courtyard, I don't use it myself!" Shinhachiro pulled out a book from his arms. "The spear skills of the Treasure Courtyard are mostly off-edge, and the tricks are known for being weird and strange! Master said that it was difficult to give full play to the advantages of my innate divine power by practicing this kind of spearmanship, so what taught me was the Tianwang Zhen Demon Gun and this ...... in Buddhism, "I saw that on the title page of the book he handed me were written five neat regular scripts - Flying Snow Pear Flower Gun. "This is the book that Master Song gave me back then! Master said that these two marksmanship are the most important way to go to the top of Mount Tai, which is exactly what I want, and most of this Ming marksmanship is a horse move, which is unique in the Japanese martial arts world! ”
I nodded, I didn't think that the wine and meat monk would be quite good at teaching students according to their aptitude. "Have you gone to Sakai to meet Master Song?" I continued to ask.
"I've seen it!" As he spoke, he patted the big package beside him. "That's the armor, it fits so well! By the way, there's also something about guns......"
"You can't really spend 10,000 yuan, do you?!" I remembered the money again.
"How so!" Seeing him shake his hand, my heart felt a little better. "It's actually 10,800! I still owe 800 yuan, and you want to pay it back for me! ”
"What?!" If I hadn't been sitting up, I'd be lying down at the moment. "What kind of 'gun' would be worth 10,000?"
"This gun is worth it!" Shinhachiro took the 'strange gun' in his hand and stroked it gently, his eyes full of love. "This is according to my request, and it was personally created by the ninth generation of the authentic master of Sagami Province over a period of three years! This was originally a piece of 10,000 catties of meteorite iron in an inaccessible canyon at the foot of Mount Fuji, because it was too big and too heavy to carry, the authentic master smelted on the spot, and after refining more than 300 times, the meteorite weighing 10,000 catties became this 173 catties of steel! Look at ......" he pointed to the bodhisattva shape that came out against the light and said, "This is a natural appearance in the forging, and the master said that it is a sign of the possession of the gods and Buddhas!" Hence the name of this gun 'Shura's Wrath'! ”
......"I don't believe in the gods and Buddhas, but if it was really made of such a large meteorite, it would have paid this price." Do you want to become a samurai now? ”
"Yes! That's what I'm here for! ”
"Then how did you get into a fight with Maeda-sama at the door?" I continued to ask.
"Not that bastard yet! It's so annoying......" Speaking of which, he got angry again. "How can I ...... with a swaggering look"
"That's it!" I interrupted him, not to encourage this atmosphere of infighting. "Although Maeda-sama is a little colorful, he really has a good way of talking about marching and fighting, and his loyalty is impeccable! You too, why don't you just say you're looking for me? ”
"If they ask me who I'm looking for, I'll answer you! But when they asked me what I was here for, I replied that I had come to fight as a soldier! He took it for granted.
"You're ......"
"It's time to eat!" At this moment, Xianzhi came back, and the attendants behind him were carrying a sumptuous meal, and Xianzhi's barbecue was naturally indispensable here, and Ying Ying also followed.
"You will go back to Ruojiang with your sister and them the day after tomorrow!" I said during the dinner. "Since the lord has come to order me, it's not good for me to leave again, and I can rest assured that you escort me all the way! There are also many backbones of the retainers there, and you just happened to get to know them first! ”
"No...... No way! Shinhachiro shook his head as he stuffed the barbecue into his mouth. How can I not participate in the war, I must go! ”
"You ......," I was about to say something more, but I met Xianzhi's pleading gaze. …… Okay, you first escort your sisters and them back with Lord Dao, and then transport the horse armor from Ruojiang City, and I will wait for you to go together! Today, I will officially hire you as a warrior of the Zhuxing family, you are a public identity, and you are called ...... Stars Kiyohiko! ”
"Okay......" he said in thanks, choking on a bite of barbecue.

Shima Katsu Takeshi and Shinhachiro really came and went in a hurry, and they fought back and forth in only four days. In addition to the horse armor, they brought me an "otherworldly" gift......
