Chapter 8: The Samurai Class
From the boasting of the disabled beggar Fujiwara Hunter, I know that this person used to be a figure who climbed from the bottom to the level of the Ashigaru group, and he could blow for a lifetime. If it weren't for the loss of a leg in a fight with a monster, he wouldn't have fallen to such a point.
According to his introduction, the samurai class in this plot world is divided into four levels, the lowest level, and the largest number is Ashigaru.
Generally, people with a little wealth in the family will send their children to study at the local kendo gym from an early age, and if they can persevere and pass the assessment of the hall owner, they will be recommended by the hall owner to join the local major families and become the lowest level of ashigaru.
Of course, the achievements of this kind of disciple are the lowest, and most of them will end up in the Ashigaru group in their lifetime, and they are still the ashigaru group without any monster bloodline.
At most, if you are lucky, you will be rewarded by the benefactor with some weak chicken monster blood.
If you are a samurai who is confident in your strength, you will choose to join the major samurai organizations after graduating from the kendo hall.
Through the fight with demons, the bloodline is obtained, and once the demon blood is successfully integrated, it will automatically be promoted from the low-level ashigaru to the ashigaru group.
And above the Ashigaru group is the Ashigaru general, who uses the monster bloodline freely, and can become an Ashigaru general after the assessment of the Yin Yang Shrine.
As for the highest-ranking title general, there are only four surviving in the world, and they are the leaders of the four most famous samurai organizations.
These four have all developed their own monster bloodlines to a certain extent, and with the lives of countless powerful monsters as their achievements, they were recognized and given titles by the Yin-Yang Divine Palace, thus obtaining a kind of glory.
Once they die, the samurai organization to which they belong will soon be reduced to a second-rate samurai organization without a titled general. However, this has rarely happened, and at most it has only changed the titles of the leaders of the four organizations.
Of course, Shang Biao didn't forget to ask about the news of Shikigami that he was most concerned about, but this Fujiwara Hunter didn't know much about Shikigami either. only said a word to ask Shang Biao not to be delusional, it is impossible for a member of the direct bloodline of the big family to be recognized by Shishen.
"So you also have youkai blood, can you show it?"
Shang Biao looked at the disabled beggar in front of him who was blushing from the two glasses of water and wine in his stomach and asked, wanting to see this strange power.
Although he was very repulsed by the method of implanting the blood of the monster in his heart, he didn't have to think about it to know that the power of evil contained in his flesh and blood would not contain this kind of power obtained by the blood of the evil demon.
Unless he found a monster that also possessed the power of the Evil God Thunder, Shang Biao would never consider integrating it into the demon blood.
"Crunch, crunch~"
Fujiwara Hunter, whose face was covered with dirt, seemed to have been mentioned by Shang Biao about something sad, his face turned red suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and made a piercing sound of grinding his teeth.
"Whew! The blood of the monster, hehe, I did kill a hundred-legged demon once, and even paid the price for a leg, but it was not me who implanted the blood of the monster.
Young man, for the sake of inviting me to dinner, I would like to advise you, where did you come from, and where did you go back! Although the monster is cruel, it cannot compare to the darkness of the human heart. ”
Looking at his stump leg, Fujiwara Hunter, who had shattered all hopes by reality, spat out a mouthful of wine, and his anger turned into helplessness. persuaded Shang Biao, lost the interest in talking, and silently ate the sashimi in front of him.
"I still have a question, since Fujiwara-kun was once a samurai, do you know a move that can smash the soul with one sword after drawing a sword?"
Shang Biao knew that the other party was well-intentioned to persuade him, so he also changed his honorific title. However, he was obsessed with Silo's knife, and perhaps he could deduce from his knife skills that he was hiding now. With the current state of the ghost, if there is no one to protect him, he will definitely not live long.
And as a former human being, and has mastered such a clever knife technique, Silo definitely has a master to teach him.
By deducing the origin of her sword technique, Shang Biao's ultimate goal is to find the unstable bomb of Wushuang.
"It's good luck that you've actually seen the 'Katori Shinto-ryu Jutsu' and haven't been killed together."
Fujiwara stopped his chopsticks and looked at Shang Biao in surprise.
"Fujiwara-kun actually knows, I wonder if you can tell me more about this sword technique?"
Shang Biao respectfully gave the other party a glass of water and wine, and asked.
"I don't know much, what you see should be the 'Cloud Cutting Sword' among the five swords of the 'Extreme Intention', the kind of soul-slaying sword technique that only the disciples of the 'Katori Shinto Stream' are qualified to learn."
"Where is the Katori Shinto-ryu gym?"
"Lower Headquarters, Katori County, from Liuhe City to the north, you should be able to reach it in more than ten days."
In addition to the twelve types of god families each guarding a city and guarding the Yin and Yang Shrine in Kyoto, and the territory occupied by each of the twelve types of god families.
There are also four countries sheltered by the four major samurai organizations in this plot world.,It's said to be a shelter.,It's actually similar to the territory of the Shikigami family.。
The four countries are Shimosokuni controlled by the Shinto faction, Izumo Province controlled by the Nin-genre faction, Izu Province controlled by the Ichito-genre faction, and Kai Province controlled by the Yin-genre faction.
Although the location of Rokuhe Castle is not far from Shimokoku, it has to pass through several dangerous places that often haunt youkai at night on the way.
With Shang Biao's current strength, he was afraid that he would be wiped out by an accident implicated in bad luck before he arrived in Katori County, and he had no doubt about this.
Especially when he listened to Fujiwara Hunter talk about some of the demons he would encounter, he didn't have much confidence.
After hesitating for a moment, Shang Biao finally decided to give up the idea of going to Katori-gun.
After eating and drinking, Fujiwara shook his body, poured the remaining water and wine into the wine gourd on the cane, and prepared to leave.
"Fujiwara-kun, I wonder if you can teach me kendo?"
Shang Biao's eyes looked directly at Fujiwara Hunter, with his current luck, the chance that the other party would agree was no less than if he went out and stepped on shit.
Although it was almost impossible, Shang Biao felt that he always had to try before he gave up.
The Dao technique is restricted, and the Shikijin and Yin-Yang Techniques have not even seen a shadow, and the only thing that can increase his self-preservation power is the unique kendo of this plot world.
There is no doubt that the weapon-making craft of the early Wa Kingdom was learned from the Tang Dynasty, and the sword was the head of a hundred soldiers, which was naturally the focus of their learning.
Although the two edges of the sword were later changed to one edge in order to adapt to the battlefield, and the straight shape was changed to a curved shape that is more convenient for slashing, the name sword has been handed down, and kendo is the art of swords.
"Don't you feel ashamed to learn kendo with a cripple? If you have money, you can go to the 'Yidaoliu' Gym in the north of the city to study. ”
"I still want to learn from you Fujiwara-kun, this is my apprenticeship!"
Shang Biao took out a lump of gold from his arms, and he had a lot of gold and silver in his movie ticket, which was the only trophy of the battle that night.
Siro was a monster, and gold and silver were of little use to her, so she didn't collect them, and they were all left behind by the unlucky ones who died in the White Bone Mountain. The largest amount was naturally copper, but because of the melting, Shang Biao did not collect it, and only took some gold and silver that were not melted together.
