Chapter 138: Sitting and Forgetting

"My name ......"

Wu Ming was depressed in his heart, this is a real battle for fame, but it's a pity that his old bottom is not clean, but he made a disdainful look on his face: "You don't deserve to hear about it......"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Hasegawa Saemon on the opposite side had an insulted look in his eyes, but his face became more and more cold, and he didn't move like a mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Between the samurai, when dueling, all kinds of military techniques are used to the extreme, and this simple verbal provocation can only make him more and more discouraged while provoking him.

If he hadn't had this kind of practice, he wouldn't be alive now.

The two looked at each other slowly, and a cold and fierce aura began to envelop the surroundings, causing cold sweat to break out on Goro's forehead again.

I don't know how long I waited, Hasegawa Saemon shouted loudly and slashed out with a sword!

Bite!

The light of thunder and fire on Wu Ming's sword flashed, and he also slashed out.

The swords intersected, making a crisp sound, and in an instant, a puff of blood came out of Hasegawa Saemon's body.

"It's ...... What genre of swordsmanship? ”

He fell to the ground, but his eyes were filled with pure curiosity.

"No name...... If you have to take one, it's the Wind Thunder Sword Flow......"

Wu Ming slowly put the knife into the sheath, in terms of real martial arts, he is just a foreigner, but this person is equivalent to a master of the Extreme Change Realm.

It's a pity that he fused the five thunder runes into the sword, and struck with the wind and thunder, and the Tao added martial arts, and the power went straight to the third level, and this warrior died unjustly!

"Wind Thunder Sword...... Pity...... I failed in my studies......"

Hasegawa Saemon spilled blood foam from the corner of his mouth, and he was out of breath.

"Let's go!"

Wu Ming threw off a silver judgment and immediately pulled Gorou away.

Although there are rules, a fair duel between samurai is protected by law, and murder in the castle will not be held accountable.

Of course, after the fact, relatives and friends seek revenge, but they don't care.

Wu Ming was naturally not very afraid of the revenge of the Thoughtless Flow Dojo behind Hasegawa, but the crux of the matter was...... I'm not a samurai at all!!

If you get blocked, will you kill all the way out? Not to mention the impact is too great, and the plan will all be lost.

'Identity! The top priority is to get an identity! ’

Wu Ming pulled Gorou and quickly turned into the corner of the alley, looking at the group of Ashigaru soldiers running by, but he thought depressedly in his heart.

……

"Let's go!"

Although he killed someone, after turning two streets and coming out, Wu Ming still looked calm.

Even, on top of the moon-white samurai uniform, there was not a single blood splash.

At this time, he also asked Gorou to take him to the commercial town and entered a leather shop.

The shop was open, the inside was very bright, the walls around it hung with made furs, and behind the shop, a small workshop could be faintly seen, and a dozen Fenggong people were working hard, as if they were doing the work of sewing armor and equipment.

"Kanmotoro! Kanmotoro! ”

When Gorou saw a young-looking, less than twenty-year-old Fenggong, he immediately went up and said hello: "Long time no see!" ”

"Well, it's Gorou!"

Kanbenlang held a piece of bamboo armor: "What's the matter?" ”

"I've brought an adult to sell a piece of fur, and you'll come and see ......."

Gorou deliberately accentuated the two words of adult, feeling a little proud in his heart, after all, Kanben Lang's friend has been a Fenggong for a long time, and it has been rumored that he is going to be promoted recently, which immediately makes him feel a little jealous.

"Oh?"

Kanbenlang was startled, came to the store, and saw Wu Ming, as well as the samurai uniform and the sword on his body, and he didn't look at the goods, but he saluted solemnly:

"Honorable Lord, I'm sorry I can't entertain you, I'll go find Fan Chang right away!"

"Hmm!"

Wu Ming nodded noncommittally, he had no expectations for the people Gorou could know, but now it seems that he is just a low-level handyman, and now that he has come, he must send a person at the level of the store manager to entertain him.

"Ah...... This is the finest bearskin! ”

The manager of this store, or the manager of the store, is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and a kind face, but when he saw this fur, he was stunned: "What kind of strength does such a huge bear need to kill with one sword?" ”

"How?"

Wu Ming was sitting on the tatami mat at this time, but he was not in a hurry at all, and let the other party test it over and over again.

"Honorable Samurai, this piece of your fur is worth at least twenty pieces, no, thirty pieces!"

The middle-aged fan chief didn't say a word, he already knew that this fur was peeled off the body of the Wind Demon Palace, and the skin of such a powerful monster, whether it was a martial artist, or those priests and the Yin and Yang family, it was very welcome, and it could be sold for at least fifty pieces!

"Thirty times, huh...... So be it, one more thing......"

As soon as Wu Ming wanted to speak, he saw a Fenggong hurriedly running in and whispering a few words in Fanchang's ear.

"My master, I want to see you!"

After listening to this long speech, his face changed even more, but he supported the ground with his hands, and bowed solemnly: "Please be sure to enjoy the light!" ”

"Oh? Then go for it! ”

This kind of big businessman often has the shadow of a big name and other forces behind him, and his influence is also very great, Wu Ming said immediately.

Led by Banchang, the group left the commercial town and walked outside a house.

"This is the host's guest!"

This mansion is quite large, and there are two guards in it, which makes Wu Ming bow slightly, and his evaluation has risen a little.

"Goro, you're waiting here!"

Immediately, he walked into the gate under the leadership of the chief, and Gorou behind him could only watch this scene silently with envious eyes.

On the tatami mat in the hall, a merchant in a black kimono sipping tea was already waiting.

When I saw Wu Ming, my eyes lit up, and I got up and bowed down and said, "When we meet for the first time, my name is Takamasa Naito, and I am a royal merchant serving the Yamada family!" ”

"I'm a ronin now, as for the name, just call me Konosuke!"

Wu Ming's answer obviously made Naito Takamasa's face change.

'Is such a powerful swordsman without the blood of a samurai?' ’

In this world, the hope of promotion for commoners, farmers, or subordinates is very small, but it is not impossible.

Like Goro, if he learns true swordsmanship and takes refuge in the Daimyo, he may not be promoted to a samurai.

Naito Takamasa obviously regarded Wu Ming as the lucky one of the people who had obtained force like this, but the news he got before, as well as the proof of the Wind Demon Palace, were still enough to gain his respect.

"You may be seated!"

The two knelt down on the tatami mats, and on the coffee table in front of them, there was a set of dark red tea sets.

Naito was about to say something, but suddenly held his breath, and a look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.

"Why don't you have a cup of tea first?"

Wu Ming asked with a light smile, his face turned solemn again, and he held the tea set.

It's just that in an instant, a feeling of the unity of heaven, earth and man, full of mystical and mysterious Zen, fills this room.

Naito Takasho saw Wu Ming's eyes transparent and clear, methodically brewing tea, stirring, and moving like flowing water, and couldn't help muttering: "Forget to sit down?" ”

"Zhuangzi and the Great Master" has a cloud: "Fallen limbs, degraded wisdom, detached from the form to know, the same as Datong, this is called sitting and forgetting." ”

In the tea ceremony, this refers to a method of 'sustaining the extreme, keeping quiet'.

When tasting tea and making tea, the heart should be careful like stopping water, and achieve the spiritual state of 'clarifying the taste of the heart', 'conforming to nature', and 'accepting all things'. In this way, he returns to the basics, so that his mind can be completely liberated, and he will get the mystical meaning of quietness, tranquility, loneliness, and inaction, as if he is integrated with the universe and sublimated to the realm of 'realizing me'!

But this kind of tea ceremony can already be called a grandmaster, even if he is well-informed, he has traveled the entire continent, and he has only met once in the Kai Town, how can he appear on the young man in front of him now?

"Please!"

At this time, the first bowl of tea is already in front of you.

"Forgive me for being rude!"

Naito Takamasa wiped his eyes and bathed in the baptism of this empty meaning in a pilgrimage-like gesture.

The entrance of the tea fragrance seems to turn into a cold straight line, straight into the abdomen, making him feel as if every pore is open, and people and Zen are integrated.

The second bowl of tea carried warmth, unconsciously pulling him back from his previous state, and experiencing the joy of life again.

The third bowl of tea was only a small one, and it was hot, and finally his mind returned to his body completely.

"Raw? Die? Room? This is tea that contains the way of life and death of a samurai......"

Takamasa Naito was surprised.

At this time, the previous speculation in his heart had been completely overturned.

An ordinary countryman, even if he can practice peerless bravery, he can't learn the elegance and essence contained in his bones.

'This lord...... Could it be after the family of a certain minister who lost the struggle? ’

This kind of thought immediately popped up in his mind, and he no longer dared to have the slightest neglect of Wu Ming.

"I wonder what Konosuke-sama's plans are?"

Naito asked with his hands on the ground and in a respectful and humble manner.

"Plans? I'm traveling around right now, and I'm going to help the villagers fight the demons and get paid! ”

Wu Ming said casually: "After traveling in Izumo Country, maybe I will go south and see ...... in the south."

"In that case......

Takamasa Naito said: "How about being out of my own family?" My lord Hu Sheng Gong, there are 12,000 stones high! He is also a famous feudal lord in Izumo Province, and he will definitely welcome young talents like you, and even the family name and Zhiyuki are also not dreams...... It may be a little difficult to give Zhixing at first, but it is not non-negotiable......"

"Long Changjun doesn't need to say it!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and looked at the big businessman in front of him.

The other party obviously really wants to win over himself for the Lord's family, is this the so-called loyal retainer?

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of being a leader!"

If you really enter the Yamada family, although you may be given your family name and Zhixing immediately, you will be quite restricted, and Wu Ming will naturally not agree.

"Ahh That's a shame......"

Naito's disappointment was palpable. (To be continued.) )
