Volume 4 The Rising Dragon Scroll Chapter 4 The Wood Charm Clan
Oda Nobuyuki had just left Hunan Village with Lin Shinjiro, and Hayashi Shinjiro said to Oda Nobuyuki: "This fog village must be strange, otherwise why don't you want to blend in with the villages around Lake Suwa." ”
Oda Nobuyuki nodded and said, "That's right, we'll go over now." ”
"Yes!" Lin Shinjiro nodded in agreement, and walked quickly towards Kirimura with Oda Nobuyuki.
When the two of them came to the entrance of Kiri Village, they happened to see three women walking out of the village, it was Ishikawa Goemon, Izumo Akuni, and Okabe Yuka. Oda Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, and asked Ishikawa Goemon and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Ishikawa Goemon raised his chin and said proudly, "What is the means of the old lady to find out the news?" I've explored three villages by myself, faster than the two of you! ”
"That said, you've also found out that there's something wrong with this fog village?" Nobuyuki Oda said.
"Of course," Ishikawa Goemon replied.
Oda Nobuyuki nodded and said, "Then what is the situation in this foggy village?" ”
Ishikawa Goemon spread his hands and said, "Then you have to ask them." ”
Yuka Okabe glanced at Ishikawa Goemon and said, "Brother Nobuyuki, this village is so weird, and every house has its doors closed. ”
"You still need to say ......," Ishikawa Goemon muttered as he spoke.
"People haven't finished talking yet!" Yuka Okabe adjusted her mood and continued: "We went to knock on the door, and the people in the village only opened the door a small crack, and their expressions were very strange, but the village was also ordinary villagers, except for the strange behavior, there was nothing special. ”
After listening to Yuka Okabe's words, Oda Nobuyuki thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then the head of this fog village, or the samurai of the ground, have you seen it?" ”
Izumo said, "Strange to say, there are no local samurai of the Suwa family in this village, and there is a village chief in the village, but we haven't visited yet. ”
"It's really slow, you can ......," Ishikawa Goemon muttered again.
Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Yuka Okabe, who said angrily: "It's not because you came over suddenly and disrupted our actions!" ”
"What? How about going with me? Afraid that I will take credit? And then do nothing on your own? "Ishikawa Goemon is a master of quarrels, and he is very sharp when he talks.
Oda Nobuyuki looked helpless, so he had to open his mouth and say, "Okay, let's go to the village chief's house together." With that, he hurriedly withdrew.
Seeing that Oda Nobuyuki had already left, Ishikawa Goemon and Okabe Yuka had no point in fighting any longer, glared at each other angrily, and followed Oda Nobuyuki into the fog village again.
This foggy village is smaller than the other villages around Lake Suwa, and the roads in the village are very narrow and twisted, and a few people under the leadership of Izumo Akuni came to the door of a very old wooden house. Sure enough, the homes in the village were much more generous than the other houses in the village. Lin Xinjiro stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door, but was stopped by Oda Nobuyuki waving his hand. Nobuyuki Oda cleared his throat and opened his mouth to ask inside, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
After a long time, an old voice came from the hut and replied, "Who is it?" ”
Oda Nobuyuki said, "We are passing travelers, and we have come to visit the village chief of this foggy village. ”
After a long time, the door of the village chief's house slowly opened a small gap, revealing half of his old face, and looked at the five people outside the door with one eye, and then he was a little shocked, and he didn't have time to hide it, and stammered: "You guys...... Who are you...... Practitioners? ”
Lin Xinerlang was so panicked when he saw that the old village that was about to fall scum saw his lord, and immediately understood the reason, raised his hand and pulled open the old door panel of the wooden house, snorted, and said, "What? Scared? ”
The old village chief immediately regained his calm expression, sighed, walked silently to the house, and said to himself: "I still have to come after coming." ”
Oda Nobuyuki and his entourage also followed one after another, and the interior of this wooden house was no different from that of ordinary private houses, except that the windows were very small, and the light in the room was a little dim.
As soon as Ishikawa Goemon entered the room, he asked sharply, "Demon! It's not going to show up soon! ”
The old village chief's eyes were a little cloudy, as if he was hiding endless sadness, and said angrily to everyone in the house: "Our Mumei clan has become a seclusion here since the Heian period, and has been in conflict with the world for thousands of years, just to let the family continue. I never thought that you so-called cultivators! In order to improve my karma, I still found here. Today, you will take my thousand-year-old demon pill! Just please spare the children in the village! ”
These words were very moving, but Ishikawa Goemon said: "Don't fake here!" There is no quarrel with the world! Isn't that Baifan Po from your village? Is she also indisputable? Then how did he run to Takato Castle and capture Suwa Temple? You say? ”
After listening to Ishikawa Goemon's words, the village chief of Namu Mei looked a little stunned, and said after a while, "What did you say?" In this Minami Shinano place, are there other demons? But the harmful demon of Baifan Po has nothing to do with our Mumei Village! In our fog village, we are just the Mu Mei clan who live in seclusion here! There is no such vicious demon as Bai Fan Po! ”
As soon as the village chief's words fell, he heard a young man's voice outside the house, saying, "Elder Duming, what you said is the old yellow calendar from the past!" Now our fog village is no longer the original fog village! ”
Everyone in the house was startled and hurried out of the house. I saw that on a relatively wide flat ground in front of the house, there were four people, the leader of which was a young man with a huge wooden stick in his hand, this young man had turned into a golem, his body was extremely tall, his body was covered with small branches and leaves, like countless vines wrapped around his body, and there were two magic horns on his head, one long and one short, and there was only one big eye on his dark and rough face.
He was followed by three people, one of whom was an old monk dressed as an old man who had fought against the enemy in the barrel room, the Inmara. The other two, one was a handsome child of young age, dressed in white, and riding a three-headed vicious dog under his crotch. He was looking at everyone with a grin. The other was a strange man weighing more than 300 pounds and resembling a ball of meat.
The village chief looked at the situation in front of him, pointed to the one-eyed young man, and asked, "Mu Mei Qingzhi!" What are you doing? ”
