Chapter 10: Wonderful Swordsmanship
Outside the wooden house of the elders of Panxi Village, the huge waterwheel is still "creaking" and spinning, waiting for the village's most quaint tradition.
The door of the house was wide open, and several old men kneeling inside, and outside were the black villagers, men, women, and children lined up from the inside out, all kneeling there, with a reverent face ready to listen to their father's words.
The early morning sun shone on the group of people, and they looked listless. Long Shaocong changed into a coarse linen coat and knelt behind the women with a group of young people, behind him was a group of half-grown children.
Speaking from the heart, Long Shaocong likes his current position very much, arranged according to age, in front of him is a group of young girls to be married or young women who are newly married, all of them are round and straight, beautiful and delicious.
A thin layer of linen clothes can't cover the tenderness inside, the bulging little tender peaches are ripe and erect, and the attractive ravines erode the bones**. Long Shaocong discovered for the first time that there were so many benefits to bowing his head and kneeling, especially when the morning breeze blew and the cloth skirt rose in response to the wind, the intoxicating spring light was simply wonderful......
Long Shaocong swallowed his saliva, and suddenly thought, if Meizi was kneeling like this, wouldn't it? Thinking of this, he looked up and looked around, but fortunately, Meizi escaped this "color catastrophe" due to a foot injury.
However, when he thought of Meizi, his mind couldn't help but desert again, a pink and well-behaved, elegant and delicate freshness, and the plump, fat, elastic round flesh in front of him, which inevitably formed a sharp contrast in his heart.
At dinner last night, the old man Aizawa pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, knocked on the side, and said that Meizi ignored his identity and was dressed too brightly, Long Shaocong looked at his clothes, and then recalled that in the morning, Meizi was dressed in coarse linen, standing beside his grandfather, and winked at himself, feeling that this was obviously talking about himself.
After a while, he said that young people go out without permission, and they don't tell their families about big things, and they lie everywhere......
Long Shaocong felt that this was obviously talking about himself again, and in the end, in order to eat a safe meal, he had to tell everything he saw and heard on the mountain.
When the old man heard this, he seemed to have been prepared, and he was not surprised, but stroked his beard, and looked like he was "" as if he was in control, which made Long Shaocong a little suspicious that he was in the same group as that stinky Taoist priest.
However, after listening to Long Shaocong's words, the old man still had a worried look on his face, and immediately hurried out of the door and ran to the elder's wooden house.
As a result, there was an enlarged meeting of the village committee this morning, and Long Shaocong was naturally expanded, and he only had the right to attend as observers, but not to speak.
At this time, I heard the elder open his shriveled lips and say, "I have gathered all the old and young people in the village here today to announce something important to you. ”
Long Shaocong didn't think much of this nonsense opening, since everyone is here, there must be something to say, otherwise wouldn't it be sick to be so excited.
Then he heard a trembling voice say, "The village is about to encounter a disaster, and danger may occur at any time." ”
As soon as the words landed, there was a chaos, many people didn't know why, and the sound of buzzing and screaming was endless.
Seeing this scene, Aihara Liang on the side coughed dryly and said: "Everyone be quiet, what Dad said just now is true, I summoned everyone here to listen to everyone's opinions, do you want to go or stay?" ”
"Good days, where is the disaster? We don't believe it. ”
"Yes, in the past two years, since Lord Oda came, the wind and rain have been smooth, the battles have been few, and taxes have been reduced and reduced, leaving here, should we go to Kai? Takeda-sama and Uesugi and Imagawa-sama were at war all the time. ”
"If we don't leave, we see that the rice harvest is about to be harvested, and we are leaving, what will we do with the grain that we have worked hard for a year?"
Long Shaocong thought to himself, what a group of farmers have seen, even their lives are dying, and they still need food to use for a fart.
"Humph! A group of peasants saw ......"
Suddenly, Long Shaocong looked up and saw that it was a strong pill who spoke. I heard him shout in his throat with a broken gong, "The demons in the back mountains may come in to slaughter the village at some point, and you still care about a little bit of food." ”
His words can be regarded as causing public outrage, "the people take food as the sky" whether in ancient China or in Japan is the truth pursued by the peasants, you can rob his children, but don't rob his land and food, otherwise he will definitely fight with you. Because if the children are gone, they can be reborn, and if the land is gone, they can only wait for death.
As soon as this sentence came out, it really attracted verbal criticism. One said, "You mean we have a short view, where are you long?" ”
Someone hurriedly accosted, "He grew up under his crotch, and the whole village knows it." After speaking, there was a "boom", which attracted a burst of ridicule.
One said, "You wander around all day long, and you would rather have land that is deserted than planted, and you have the face to talk about us." ”
Another person coffered and said, "Who said that the pill doesn't farm?" People also work hard every day, and the land planted is fertile, rich in water and trees, and I don't know how many seeds are sprinkled in each field! ”
This sentence caused a group of women to blush and hang their heads lower; Even a few men kept glaring at the person who spoke, apparently not less cuckolded.
Dalimaru stood up violently, bared his teeth, grinned, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and was about to rush forward. The people around him saw that this was a desperate posture, and hurriedly stepped forward, tugging on his arms and hugging his legs, and stopped him.
At this time, before his father could speak, Ryo Aihara shouted: "Stop!" He said to Dalimaru: "Everyone is discussing countermeasures, but you can't do it!" Besides, what is the demon in the back mountain, it is pure nonsense, what we are talking about is the disaster...... Yes, Ye Fu may have to go down the mountain to rob these days! ”
Obviously, I don't want too many people to know about the demon, so as not to cause panic.
Long Shaocong knelt there and muttered, "What is Yefu?" The mountain pass next to him said, "It's a bandit." ”
Long Shaocong looked back, and I wiped ...... This dead fat man is actually more shameless than me, his face is directly on the ground, his eyes are slanted and he is hooked upward, and he has a lewd expression and drool......
Over there, he broke away from everyone and sat back in his place with a resentful ass. Aihara Ryo didn't care about him, and said to everyone: "Everyone is serious, don't talk nonsense!" ”
The crowd fell silent again, and the page was revealed.
In Long Shaocong's eyes, it is impossible to discuss such an ugly person at such a meeting. Sure enough, those who planned to leave and those who insisted on staying quarreled endlessly, and some women thought that a catastrophe was coming, so they cried and cried, making a commotion and miasma.
In the end, even the elder had no idea, and it was already very difficult to let the peasants leave their land, not to mention that in his traditional consciousness, Japan was so big, even if he left, where could he go? If disaster is coming, there is nowhere for little Japan to hide.
As a last resort, the old man Aizawa came forward and neutralized everyone's opinions. Since those who don't want to leave are worried that no one will harvest the rice, they will give everyone three days, and then move away together after harvesting the grain, and at the same time arrange special personnel to keep an eye on the back mountain.
In this way, the enlargement meeting of the village committee finally ended up in great joy in the midst of a quarrel, and everyone was hungry when it was noon, so they all dispersed.
————————————————————————————————
Regarding Long Shaocong's change of name and apprenticeship, he didn't expect that he would successfully pass the consent of Dalimaru and Yui. In any case, they are also the parents of his time, and if they change to China, it is a big deal to change their names at will.
In fact, how did he know that in ancient Japan, even wealthy families were born with only a milk name, and they would not be officially given a name until they grew up. If Ohno's age had been placed in a big family with a family, he would have done a great gift a long time ago.
Therefore, parents do not care about what their son's name has changed, and even if he is an adult, it is common to change his name in Japan. For example, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who everyone is very familiar with, was originally called Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, later changed his name to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and then became Sekihaku, and was given the name Toyotomi Hideyoshi by the emperor.
As for Long Shaocong's apprenticeship, the two of them strongly supported it. Especially the strong pill, he was very excited, and he invited Miyamoto Wuji to drink at home, and he sent rice and noodles, even looking at Long Shaocong's eyes, he also seemed a lot gentler, and Long Shaocong was shocked and had goosebumps.
After lunch, Long Shaocong came out of the house, and according to the previous agreement, he went to the back village under a big spring tree to look for Miyamoto Wuji.
When he got closer, he saw Miyamoto Muji sitting under the tree from a distance, meditating with his eyes closed, so he hurriedly ran to him and knelt down to give a salute: "I'm sorry Master, the apprentice is late." ”
Miyamoto Muji opened his eyes, looked at Long Shaocong who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said, "Do you know, what is the reason why the teacher came to you?" ”
When Long Shaocong heard this, he thought for a while and said, "The master asked the apprentice to come out, presumably to teach a few swordsmanship to the apprentice. ”
Miyamoto didn't speak, but got up, walked past Long Shaocong, and stood still with his back.
Long Shaocong didn't know what the master was going to do, and he didn't dare to get up privately. Originally, the purpose of Long Shaocong's apprenticeship at that time was to let Miyamoto Wuji take him out of this ghost place, and take the opportunity to find a boat outside and return to Middle-earth.
But Miyamoto immediately refused, and only promised to stay for three days, and then he had to go on his own and continue to travel around......
"Stand up and speak, boy." In a word, Long Shaocong was pulled back from his thoughts.
"What kind of swordsmanship do you think is advanced and superior?"
Sophisticated, superior? Long Shaocong didn't have any concept in his heart, with the memory of later generations, he recalled the superior swordsmanship, Dugu Nine Swords? Tai Chi swordsmanship? Fallen Hero Excalibur? Or is it a sword technique to ward off evil spirits? Ahh
Long Shaocong thought about it for a long time, but he was still confused, afraid that the master would be in a hurry, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Uh...... It should be a brilliant move, and it can kill people in invisible swordsmanship. ”
After Miyamoto listened to it, he didn't speak, but looked at Long Shaocong intently, as if he wanted to see through and see through his heart......
Long Shaocong was at a loss for a while, I don't know what the master is looking at him affectionately like this, is the string in his brain wrong?
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his intuition, and before Long Shaocong could react, he saw a fallen leaf split into two halves and fluttered in front of his eyes......
Miyamoto returned his blade to the sheath, nodded with satisfaction, looked at his little apprentice and said, "The concentration is good, and he is very courageous." ”
Long Shaocong's sideburns oozed a bead of sweat the size of a bean, and the two strands were still trembling slightly. Nima, I'm "good concentration", but I didn't have time to react at all.
Miyamoto continued: "The quality of swordsmanship is not in the number of skills, but in whether it is reasonable to use. Disciple, you must remember that no matter how varied the moves, the most important thing is the sword that defeats the enemy. ”
"If you want to make yourself stronger, first of all, you must make your heart weak. Disciple, if you look at the tree behind you, is it the skin, or the flesh and roots? ”
Long Shaocong followed the direction of his master's finger, looked back at the spring tree that was three feet thick and two people tall, and said, "Of course, the skin trunk is hard. ”
"The trunk is strong, but it is badly damaged, and the tree is not dead, but the heart or roots are injured and rotten, and no matter how strong the tree is, it will be depleted. The most flexible heart will experience the strongest body and will, where is your heart? ”
"I ...... Back to the master, the disciple doesn't know. Long Shaocong put away his ridicule and replied seriously.
Miyamoto Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said: "Everything in the world, every grass and tree, has been fighting all your life, and what I want to teach you as a teacher today is to sit here and listen to how this tree fights." ”
Yes? Long Shaocong felt that the master had said something wrong, how to listen to a battle, and it was still a tree......
"Listen, listen to voices that you wouldn't have heard." Miyamoto repeated it again, turned and walked away. Leaving Long Shaocong standing there alone, stunned......
