In a tea shed for people to rest and quench their thirst, a group of traveling merchants, monks, and ronins are gathering together to talk about interesting things that happened in the north and south of the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"You know what? Now there has been a rush on the other side of the three rivers, and it is called a jubilation! The Ichijo sect gathered 40,000 believers to surround Okazaki Castle, and that picture ...... Tsk~" said a traveling merchant loudly. These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I heard that Matsudaira Ieyasu was tyrannical, and in the end, he even hit the temple for money." One of the ronins said casually.

"Really? How did I hear that this was actually the Imagawa clan? It is said that he secretly contacted the Tsuyo sect, which is why the three rivers were in chaos. Another merchant retorted.

"Nonsense! Imagawa Shin's guy is a waste at all, and he doesn't have any of the advantages of Imagawa Yoshimoto back then. He designed it? How can it be! When the ronin heard this, he immediately retorted loudly, and in his words, he didn't take the Imagawa family in his eyes at all.

Hawkers, in fact, it's nothing, for the ronin, although they can't afford to mess with any of the big names, but ...... There are no samurai or anything here, so it's normal to say bad things~

It's just that while the two were arguing, the monk next to him, who had been silent, spoke, "What the master said just now is already a thing of the past, not long ago, the 40,000 troops of the first army have been defeated by the army led by Oda Yoshinobu, the number one general of the Oda family. But then there was another war on the side of the sect, and Oda Yoshinobu didn't move for some reason. ”

The monk's words suddenly stopped the two who were still arguing, and at the same time, everyone looked at the monk with a look of incredulity. "Master, is this thing true? That's an army of 40,000!! Could it be that Oda Yoshinobu led the Oda army to the nest? The ronin obviously couldn't believe it, but he didn't want to offend the ascetic, so he had to say his own guess.

In other words, the monks in Japan during this period are mainly divided into two kinds, one is naturally a great monk who sits in the temple every day to drink, eat meat, chant Buddha and play with women, and the other is a wandering monk like this monk. They believe that in order to have a deep understanding of the Dharma, one must walk the world around the world like the Buddha and experience the hardships of life before they can truly become a Buddha.

So they left the luxurious temple life and wandered all corners of Japan, and although they lived in poverty, they were respected by the world. Because even those great monks who sit high in the temple are full of respect for most of the wandering monks.

"Before the monk came to Kai, he had passed by Sanhe, so he had seen the situation there." The monk said softly, in a calm tone, but with a tone that was not unquestionable.

Hearing this, everyone immediately sighed again and again, and a traveling merchant said exaggeratedly, "It is said that when the Barrel Sama Battle was fought together, it was Oda Yoshinobu who forcibly rushed into the Imagawa army on Mt. Tsubakuma with his god-like martial arts, and now he has once again defeated the 40,000 troops of the Ichijo Army, no wonder the people of Owari say that Oda Yoshinobu is the reincarnation of Susanoo." ”

Just hearing the words of this wandering merchant, the wandering monk chuckled and said, "I don't know if the reincarnation of Susanoo is true, but the empty oath master of this temple has already said that he is the reincarnation of Asura. ”

"Shura?" Everyone looked at the wandering monk in confusion, obviously not knowing what the Shura in his mouth was.

"It's Asura!" Yunyousheng shook his head and said, "Asura is the protector god of Buddhism, one of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, and the god of the Asura path in the six realms of reincarnation, but Asura is an evil god, irritable and aggressive, fond of lewdness, and has an ugly face......"

As soon as Yun Yousheng's words came to this, a traveling merchant suddenly retorted, "Master, the villain has seen Lord Oda in Owari before, and he is not ugly at all, not only is he not ugly, but he can also be said to be very, very ......" The traveling merchant paused, thought for a long time, and finally came up with an adjective, "Beautiful!" ”

Hearing You Shang's words, the wandering monk was stunned, and only after half a sound did he say helplessly and silently, "The Asura in Buddhism is indeed like this, but it is said that Asura and Shura are brothers, Asura looks vicious, but Shura looks very good. Perhaps, what the Master of the Empty Oath said should be Shura......"

Well, isn't this wandering monk master too unpositioned? In Buddhism, wasn't Shura always on Vishnu's side? But if you think about it carefully, Japanese Buddhism came from China, and Chinese Buddhism came from India, so there will be some deviations in this way, so it doesn't matter.

After chatting again, everyone embarked on their own journey. And some of their words, some of which may be forgotten in the blink of an eye, and some of which will be passed through their mouths to the people of the next place. In this era when there are no telephones, no Internet, and no newspapers, the only way to get news from Mutsu is to send the news to Kyushu. Of course, no one knows what the news will look like when they arrive in Kyushu.

And the traveling merchant also picked up his bags and left slowly, but he didn't go far, but he caught up with a man behind him, "Eh, this big brother waits." ”

Looking at him curiously, You Shang secretly put his hand on the short knife at his waist. In troubled times, who wouldn't be able to walk around the world with such hands?

"Big brother! Eldest brother! The younger brother didn't mean anything else. The man waved his hands to show that he was not holding a weapon. Then he asked curiously, "Big brother, I heard that you went to Owari just now, can you tell me about Oda-sama?" ”

"That's it~I said it earlier~" When You Shang heard this, he smiled and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry, after all, in the troubled times, people like us must be vigilant." But even though he said this, the hand on the dagger did not let go in the slightest.

In this regard, the man naturally said yes again and again. "Big brother, the younger brother is called Takanosuke, and I've been very fond of the deeds of those samurai since I was a child......" Takanosuke continued to explain, gradually letting down the wariness of the traveling merchant and telling Takanosuke about Oda Yoshinobu.

"Oh? This Oda-sama is not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also proficient in ninjutsu? Takanosuke asked in shock.

"Hehe, this is the news I just happened to get, and you are the first person I told you~" Yushang looked at Takanosuke with a smug expression, obviously very satisfied with his expression. Although it is boasting about other people's, most people who travel everywhere hope that after they tell the information they have obtained, the other party will show a shocked expression.

After all, every time they get together to rest, someone else says something quite awesome, but he can't say anything but be a listener. Hawkers,I believe most people won't be very happy with this feeling, right?

Seeing Yu Shang's expression, Takanosuke naturally made a shocking sound, and after a long time, Yu Shang said with a fluttering face, "Speaking of Oda-sama, the world only knows that he is good at swordsmanship, and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, who has defeated the sword saint Tsukahara Buden and has been praised by His Royal Highness the General, and now has opened dojos in Kyoto, Kaimachi, Nara, and Nakono. But many people don't know that he is not only good at lightswords, but also ninjutsu! ”

"That's the news I heard when I was in Mino, it is said that Saito Yoshiryu rebelled and besieged Saito Michizo in the Nagara River, but after breaking through the Saito Michizo main camp, hundreds of Saito samurai and Ashigaru were easily killed by a young samurai dressed in white." You Shang said with a yearning expression.

"Could it be that he's Oda-sama?!" Taganosuke asked in shock.

"Exactly! It is said that he was sent by Oda Nobunaga to rescue Michizo Saito. Do you think, how could he, a samurai, come to Saito Michizo without Saito Yoshiryu noticing at all? And why did Oda Yoshinobu believe that Oda Yoshinobu could rescue Saito Michizo? The wandering merchant asked rhetorically.

"Ninjutsu! Only Oda-sama's ninjutsu is very superb that he can leave with one person among the hosts! Takanosuke said in a firm tone.

"Not bad!" For Takanosuke's praise, Yu Shang nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It's ninjutsu!" It's a pity that Saito Michizo didn't know why and didn't follow Oda Yoshinobu to leave. And after that, after Oda Yoshinobu said some words to Saito Yoshiryu, he disappeared directly under the gaze of countless Saito troops. ”

After speaking, You Shang seemed to feel that what he said was a little mysterious, and immediately explained, "Brother Takanosuke, this matter is really not my brother's nonsense, many of the Saito family ashigaru who participated in the Battle of Nagara River have seen or heard of this matter. ”

"Don't worry, brother, I believe it's true!" Hearing this, Takanosuke immediately smiled.

Hearing Takanosuke's words, and looking at his very sincere expression again, Yushang suddenly became even happier, "Hehe, you kid is really good, since you like to listen, then I'll tell you more about Oda-sama!" Speaking of which, I was in Owari for more than 1 year~"

As he spoke, the wandering merchant crackled and heard it, guessed it himself, and anyway, as long as it was about Oda Yoshinobu, he said it all. For example, Oda Yoshinobu has three beautiful retainers, and one of them is still a Southern Barbarian. For example, he asked this Nanban female retainer to open a Nanban merchant hall in Tsushima and Kaimachi, for example, he funded Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to open a dojo......

I don't know how long I spoke, but suddenly there was a loud laugh from the front, "Bah! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to fight this, leave money! ”

Yushang and Takanosuke looked over in shock, only to see a strong man with five fierce-looking people, holding spears, swords and other weapons looking at him with a strange smile.

"Boss, you're wrong, you should have left it to buy road money." After the strong man finished speaking, the little brother on the side hurriedly retorted.

"Bastard! Shut up! The strong man angrily knocked the little brother on the head, and then looked at Yushang and Takanosuke and sneered, "Did you hear that?!" Leave the goods and money behind at once, or don't blame me! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones have worked hard for so many years, just waiting to make a little money from these goods, you adults have a lot of them, leave some for the villains......" The merchant immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded.

If it is that kind of refugee who comes to rob the road, then even if the traveling merchant can't beat it, it may not be impossible to escape. But look at these people in front of you, they are obviously quite professional bandits, this Nima still has a slogan! Although he runs around every day, he can now carry not too light goods on his back! How could it be run away?

"No more nonsense! Money?! The strong man shouted, waving his knife twice in his hand, so frightened that the merchant had to beg for mercy.

It's just that at this moment, a pair of hands helped You Shang up, and then a rather familiar voice was heard, "Big brother, you don't need to plead with these waste~"

You Shang looked over in astonishment, only to find that it was Takanosuke. "Little brother, run away! Big brother I'm ...... Alas! You Shang hurriedly whispered.

It's just that after hearing Yushang's words, Takanosuke laughed out loud, "Big brother! You're such a good person! With a smile, Takanosuke unwrapped the package on his back, took out a bag from it, and opened it, revealing hundreds of dollars inside. Big brother, good people will be rewarded, and this money will be given to you~"

"This ......" You Shang looked at Takanosuke stupidly, completely unaware of whether the person in front of him had a hole in his brain or something, and he would do such a thing at such a time now.

And the bandits over there were also angry with Takanosuke's attitude, only to see the strong man rush over angrily, "Bastard! How dare you ignore us?! He shouted angrily as he slashed the knife in his hand.

It's just that the childish knife was just halfway chopped, but the strong man found that the childish knife seemed to have suddenly lost all its strength and fell to the ground lightly. Then, he screamed violently, and everyone looked at it, but it turned out that one of his arms had been cut off at some point.

When he was stunned, a strange laugh came, "Jiji, do you still have the kung fu to watch him?" Then, the group of bandits felt a breeze blowing around them, and then they realized that there was a headless corpse in front of them.

"It looks familiar......," they thought, and then, there was no more.

"You ......" You Shang pointed at Takanosuke in horror, and he who witnessed the whole process obviously knew what Takanosuke had done at that moment.

"Hehe~ Brother, you better find a good castle town to do business~ Although the traveling merchant makes money, it is easy to lose his name~" After Takanosuke finished speaking, he slowly walked forward.

You Shang wanted to say something, but suddenly found that there was no longer a figure of Takanosuke in front of him. Blinked, still nothing. Then he saw the bag full of money on the ground, and a term suddenly appeared in his mind, "Ninja!" ”
