5. Rat occupies the tiger's nest [82/100]
It has been a year and a half since Shen Qiu came to this river and lake.
From a strange and ignorant, he has experienced big and small things all the way, especially after the Suzhou War and the Qilu incident, he also has a lot of understanding of this piece of rivers and lakes.
But Shen Qiu's concern is not just about the rivers and lakes.
He came out of Taihang Mountain on the day of his arrogance, arrived in Luoyang, and saw that Huaishui bent to form a wharf in Luoyang, and he was very interested in the composition of this new world.
The world is very much like a certain historical stage in his hometown.
But if you deduce it carefully, you will find that it is very similar on the outside, but the core is completely different.
The diversion of Huaishui is a minor problem.
Shen Qiu also saw the map of the Central Plains collected by the Mo family in the Mo family, and he found that many places were different from his memory.
And there are legends about "overseas kamikaze".
Shen Qiu took a boat from Weihai to Liaodong before, and also talked about this topic with the outline head who had walked the sea route for more than ten years.
The head of the outline told him that since the year of the destruction of the Chu State before the Great Front, there has been a strange divine wind in the sea off the Central Plains, and the great storm at sea like a curtain has been going on all year round, completely sealing the road to overseas.
It is said that in the great desert leading from the Western Regions to the outside of the region, the same strong winds are raging.
In short, the entire Central Plains Shenzhou seemed to be blocked, and all the trade routes to the open sea were cut off.
On the side of Dongyingguo, since thousands of years ago, there have been merchants traveling back and forth between the Central Plains.
It is said that a large number of scholars were sent to study in the Central Plains Dynasty, and they admired the prestige of the Central Plains, and the trade route between the two countries lasted for hundreds of years, and there were merchants in both places.
The blockade of the sea has caused these people to suffer heavy losses.
And now, more than 20 years later, it is said that there is still no trace of the overseas kamikaze dispersing.
But now, in the land of Liaodong, Shen Qiu heard surprising news from the mouth of this wandering warrior.
"You said the kamikaze in the Tsushima Strait has dispersed?"
Shen Qiu asked.
The warrior shook his head, and said with difficulty:
"It's not scattered, it's just weakened, and the small boat still can't pass, and even if it is a stable big ship, it will take a few days for the special stars to go back and forth between the two places."
"Is that so?"
Shen Qiumo rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"Who was the shogun of the Wakuni at this time? Tokugawa? Or Hideyoshi? ”
"Shogun? What's that? ”
The ronin was surprised and said:
"I only respect His Majesty the Emperor, I am very noble, how can there be any shogun? I've heard of the Tokugawa family.
But it was exterminated by Oda decades earlier..."
"Huh?"
Shen Qiu was really surprised at this time.
Isn't this shogunate a characteristic of Toei?
There was no shogunate in this era?
It seems that it is not only the Central Plains that has been changed, but also the rest of the world.
Shen Qiu was thinking about it, and Xiao Tie asked again:
"You've been waiting in the land of Samhan for more than a year, and what are you doing there?"
"To build a paradise for those who have nowhere else to go, of course!"
On this subject, the ronin said in a fanatical tone:
"The daimyo of our country have conquered everywhere, so that the entire Dongying has become a ghost of war.
There are so many ronins like me who have nowhere to go, and the great leader of my family gathers us and others to establish a prosperous era of bandits and exile in overseas lands!
The people of the three Koreas are weak!
occupies this white mountain and black water, but does nothing!
Shall we come and rob their land and build our own land?
If you have such martial arts, you must not be the cowardly people of Sanhan, and you can't speak for the Sanhan people?
Could it be that you are also descendants of Samhan? ”
"Alas, alas? You scold again! ”
When Shen Qiu heard this, he was immediately unhappy.
He stretched out his hand and slapped the ronin in the face, and he said:
"Speak as you speak, don't swear!
We have nothing to do with those sticks, you will kill if you want to kill, and if you want to build a country, you will build a country, and it has nothing to do with us. It's just that in this land of Liaodong, you are not allowed to act recklessly. ”
He said to the ronin:
"Let me ask again one last time, what are you doing in Liaodong?"
The ronin gritted his teeth and did not answer the question.
He closed his eyes, revealing a look of death, Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, and didn't waste any more time, got up and said to Xiao Tie:
"Throw him out and give it to the villagers. Let's just say, let them have grievances and revenge! ”
"Oh."
Xiao Tie didn't have a good impression of these murderous widows, and when he saw his eldest brother speak, he lifted the ronin with one hand, took a few steps forward, and walked out of the stable.
Outside the stables, there are already some people waiting.
"Smack"
The ronin was thrown to the ground, and Xiao Tie shouted in Liaodong dialect:
"He's yours to wait, life or death."
After speaking, Xiao Tie turned around and went back to the house.
The ronin was lying on the ground, still with ghost pins stuck in his body, unable to move at all.
With a frightened face, he watched the fishermen and women around him who were still wounded holding crude weapons, and surrounded them.
"Ahh
The screams echoed in the cold air of the evening, like the screams of a ghost.
In the house, Shen Qiupan sat on a straw mat, in the center of the house, a fire pit was lit, and on the flame, a clay pot was set up, in which a chowder of fish, vegetables and rice grains was cooked.
In return for saving their lives, the fishermen brought the best of the best.
If it weren't for Shen Qiu saying that he didn't need a woman, I'm afraid there would be a woman who recommended a pillow on her own.
"Tomorrow morning, you told them to let them live in the town, I just asked the old people in this village, this is not the first time that those widows have come."
Shen Qiu sat by the fire, feeding his little chicks, and using his true qi to shape its muscles and bones.
This little bird has begun to shed its feathers, and after the gray fluff fades, real feathers will grow, and Xue Ji's true qi is the best at warming its muscles and bones.
Let Shen Qiu's bird be more than a circle bigger than Xiao Tie's.
Of course, it is true that the eagle is a bird of prey that the female bird is larger and more ferocious than the male bird.
"Hmm."
Xiao Tie nodded, and also sat cross-legged by the flames, and said to Shen Qiu:
"When I left Liaodong, it wasn't such a mess.
Now that even the Japanese are here, this Northern Dynasty is also strange, Liaodong is the place where they started, and they still allow these Japanese to act so wantonly, and they don't care? ”
"They're busy conquering the Central Plains Flower World."
Shen Qiu sneered, he pulled out the greedy wolf knife, picked up a whetstone, and carefully sharpened the blade.
He said to Xiao Tie:
"This Liaodong is bitterly cold, how can the Central Plains live comfortably?
Besides, this is a border place, and the Japanese are only making a small fuss, and the Northern Dynasties probably don't know about it.
I'm worried that if the kamikaze in the Tsushima Strait starts to weaken, the kamikaze in other seas may gradually dissipate... In the land south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that in a few years, there will be a recurrence of the wokou disaster. ”
"Big brother, you don't seem to have a good impression of the Japanese people?"
Xiao Tie asked curiously:
"Do you have a grudge against them?"
"Uh, that's it."
Shen Qiu was speechless for a while, and he said casually:
"Hatred, there is naturally no resentment in this life.
I was also the first time I saw the Japanese people, but I thought they were wolf-like, cruel and cruel, so I was quite displeased.
It has been more than a year since those bandits landed in Samhan, and I am afraid that at this time, the land of Samhan is already full of ghosts among adults. ”
He glanced at Xiao Tie, who also sighed.
This young man is really kind-hearted.
Shen Qiu thought of one more thing, so he smiled and said to Xiao Tie:
"This way to Liaodong, people here speak with accents, but you don't, speaking a straight and round Central Plains dialect, you grew up with your master since childhood, and rarely see outsiders.
So, your master is not a native of Liaodong? ”
"Well, my master is not."
Xiao Tie said:
"My master said that he was from Quanzhou, and later lived in Liaodong for a long time because of some things."
"But your master should be strong in martial arts."
Shen Qiu asked again:
"This martial arts strong person, naturally has internal strength and true qi to nourish his body from time to time, how could he suddenly get seriously ill, I heard you say before, in less than a month, he died of illness.
Didn't you be poisoned? ”
"This, it should be non-poisonous."
Xiao Tie sighed, and he said:
"Master just said that everyone has a destiny and cannot be violated, saying that if he is sick, it means that his destiny has arrived, so I don't have to worry too much.
He told me to learn martial arts well, not to do evil things, and then I died. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Tie's voice was a little gloomy, and he said to Shen Qiu:
"I was chatting with my father before, and my father said that he was born with seven kills, and his life was bumpy, and he was destined to be a lonely star.
Like my father, I grew up fluent.
Master has also left me, and everyone around me seems to be influenced by me.
Big brother, do you say that I, like my father, am I destined to be a lonely star? ”
"I don't believe that."
Shen Qiu wiped the blade of the greedy wolf with a handkerchief, he put the knife into the sheath, and said:
"If a person has a life, if he does not regret his life, how boring should this world be? Don't think about it, a down-to-earth life is, if there are difficulties and ups and downs, cut them with a sword. ”
"It's late at night, rest early, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow."
Shen Qiu said a word and walked to the side of the house.
He held the sword jade in his hand and entered the dream realm.
In front of his eyes, there was an additional phantom, it was the leader of the Japanese who was beheaded with a sword, his martial arts were very bad, and Shen Qiu could easily kill him without a knife.
It's just that the sword drawing technique with one hand is quite miraculous, which makes Shen Qiu happy to see the hunt.
"Bang"
In front of him, the wolf was shot in the head with a finger, and Shen Qiu reached out and reached into the flying light spots.
What he wanted was the martial arts skill of drawing a sword.
This is not a systematic martial art, just a skill of using a knife, and Shen Qiu feels that he can learn it and use it in his own sword skills.
This kind of quick and hateful, emphasizing one-hit defeat of the enemy, is very practical.
Shen Qiu stood up, stood still, held the handle of the greedy wolf in the knife box behind his back with his left hand, and began to draw the knife repeatedly.
He had plenty of time to practice the drawing technique.
After the incident in Qilu, the Jianyu Dream Realm was strengthened again, and the flow rate of time was slower than that of the outside world, and now it was a flow rate of one to two.
There were four hours in the night, and sixteen hours in the dream.
Shen Qiu now knew more about Jianyu, and he was basically sure that Jianyu's time flow rate could be even lower.
Perhaps, if there is a chance in the future, it can even be raised to the level of 1 to 10.
At that time, no matter how many martial arts he learned, he would have enough time to push them to the point of perfection little by little.
He's not a genius.
He knows this very well, since he has no talent blessing, he can only bury his head in this hard road, fortunately, this world is still fair after all, and diligence can make up for clumsiness, not a lie.
In addition to the speed of time, Shen Qiu also mastered a little other usage, but he couldn't use it now.
"It's just..."
Shen Qiu's wrist swinged, and he slashed out, and the sword light slashed horizontally in front of him, and then stopped steadily on the horizontal line.
He put his knife back into its sheath and practiced drawing it again.
But this time, there was a slight wave of thought in his heart.
"The kamikaze in the Tsushima Strait has diminished, and it coincides so well with the time when I came to this era, could it really be because Kendama was activated?
What secrets are there in this sword jade and in me? ”
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, at three o'clock, Shen Qiu opened his eyes on time.
The arm is still a little sore, but it is just an illusion, although I practiced the knife drawing technique all night last night, and the number of times the knife has been drawn is uncountable.
But the strange effect given by Kenyu's dream made him still full of energy.
He got up and walked out the door, Xiao Tie got up even worse, and was on the beach outside the village, waving the heavy sword in his hand, and constantly slashing against the tide.
The young man's face was tough, his upper body was naked, and the big sword in his hand danced extremely steadily, full of a sense of strength.
He stood barefoot on the slippery reef, his body wet with the sea, and in the iron surging in his body, the sea water was steamed.
Clouds of white mist tumbled around Xiao Tie, and at the beginning of the rising sun, it felt like an impressionist samurai painting.
The waves rolled in front of him, Xiao Tie exhaled, and the black sword in his hand slashed forward, and the iron heart also erupted, and when the tide came, the sea water was split in two.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Shen Qiu clapped behind him, making Xiao Tie turn his head.
"That's amazing!"
He gave Xiao Tie a thumbs up and said:
"A body of brute force, three points are born and raised, and the remaining seven points are boiled every day, which is suitable for my brother to run rampant in martial arts in the future... Let's go.
I will finish the rest of the road today, so that I can put incense on your master. ”
"Oh."
Xiao Tie answered, put the big sword behind his back, tied it tightly with a cowhide belt, put on his coat, and rode on horseback with Shen Qiu and Xiuhe.
Behind them, the people of the fishing village were ready to migrate to the town ten miles away.
Outside the village, they bowed to the three heroes who had rescued them, and watched them disappear into the snow before leaving.
On the rest of the road, there was no village to rest in, but Shen Qiu adapted to the cold of the north, so that the true qi ran quickly, and he was no longer afraid of the cold wind, and the weather was good today, with the sun shining.
The two of them walked very smoothly, and at dusk that night, they could already see the barren mountain by the sea at the Little Iron Master Gate.
But at this time, it was still a few miles away, and Shen Qiu saw the smoke rising from the barren mountain, and he looked back at Xiao Tie suspiciously, and the latter also had a look of surprise on his face.
This barren mountain, no one came here in the past, Xiao Tie and Master have lived here for more than ten years, and they have never seen a few people.
Could it be that some people who have fled here have fled here?
It's only a dozen miles away from the Sanhan border, maybe it's those Sanhan refugees?
But after walking a few miles, when he reached the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Tie's face became very ugly.
"These bunches of robbers!"
Xiao Tie gritted his teeth and said:
"How dare you occupy my master's door! I will not stop with them this time! ”
"Don't worry!"
Shen Qiu rode on his horse and looked at the barren mountain in front of him, he could see some groups of Japanese people walking on the mountain road, and their bodies were more well-dressed than the previous rogues, but there was a feeling of marching.
And there are quite a lot of them, I'm afraid that there are more than 200 people gathered here.
"They seem to be looking for something..."
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and said to Xiao Tie:
"Dismount, rest for a while, and we'll take a look after the night."
