Chapter 19: The First Guest Was a Ghost

"I understand that chickens staying here will scare guests, but why send them to the zoo?"

Ichiro asked.

He has only the most basic understanding of the zoo in the sense of words, and knows that there will be some rare animals on display there, but he doesn't quite understand the meaning of what Cave Mountain wants to do.

Could it be that Ashina's chickens are rare?

Cave Mountain smiled slightly.

"Ichiro-sama has been staying in Ashina and has never seen chickens from other places. The crowing rooster raised at home is at most higher than my knees. ”

"So, Ashina's chickens are special, aren't they?"

Ichiro's eyebrows were raised, perhaps because of the body of a child, and his brain was not very mature. When it comes to the uniqueness of Ashina, he can't help but feel proud.

Very childish, but also easily satisfied.

Oribe Masayuki on the side nodded, agreeing with Anayama's statement.

"That's true. During the attack on Hirata's house, one of my companions was accidentally injured by a sneak attack by free-range chickens in the yard, and his combat ability was impaired. The Lord sent him to stay and rest at the three-storied pagoda, but he was never seen again. ”

[That's because his body was thrown into the river by wolves.] 】

Ichiro complained in his heart.

[But since the sneak attack hurt the lonely shadows, it seems that the teacher's move to place the chickens all over the reeds back then was indeed a wonderful move.] 】

He couldn't help but think of the game where musketeers and archers could be solved with two shuriken shots, while chickens needed three or four shots.

People are really not as good as chickens!

However, hearing Oribe Masayuki mention the matter of the Hirata family, Genichiro subconsciously glanced back at Kuro and found that although he was sad, he still restrained himself as always, and just tried his best not to look in the direction of Oribe Masayuki.

The Lone Shadow Weaver Masayuki also realized this, and immediately kept silent.

Anayama gestured with his hand to the height of the chicken and added, "Anyway...... It was also the first time I had seen a human-sized chicken, and I was so shocked that I managed to dodge their attacks. ”

"So, if we're going to send those three chickens to the zoo, a lot of people will come and visit! At that time, I will say that it is a unique breed of our reed name, and the name will be directly called reed chicken! ”

"Ichiro-sama, what do you think of this approach?"

Anayama asked excitedly, apparently thinking he had a great idea.

Just as Ichiro was still unable to make a decision and was hesitating, Shinichi Zuose, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Eichiro-sama, I don't think it's enough for these three chickens to be sent to the zoo, if you want to take this opportunity to make Reed's reputation famous, you can make a fuss from somewhere else."

"Oh?" Ichiro came interested.

"Tell me more."

In less than ten days, he has learned almost all the history of Japan after the Warring States period, and even learned a simple foreign language and made foreign friends.

At a time when talent is scarce, he is a man who can be a think tank.

"As you may know, there's been a big event in the world recently."

"The day before yesterday, the newspaper headline said that former Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, a great contributor to Japan's restoration, was assassinated by a North Korean killer while negotiating with the Russians about North Korea."

The rest of the people looked at each other, and Oribe Masayuki said directly: "Everyone knows that this matter is so big, but what does this have to do with chickens?" ”

"Absolutely."

Shin Sase smiled.

"Because of this incident, tens of thousands of people in Tokyo have gathered in the park in the past two days to demand that the cabinet government dispose of or expel all Russians and Koreans who remain in Japan. It can be said that this is the time when the Japanese are as hostile to the outside world as we were to the domestic government. ”

Oribe Masayuki snorted coldly and didn't speak.

"When I was passing by the Ueno Zoo before, I heard a lot of people proposing that even if they couldn't deal with foreigners, at least all animals from Russia and North Korea should be killed to vent their bad spirits."

Koichiro shook his head speechlessly.

"It's a joke to vent anger in vain."

"But this anger can be exploited by us."

Shinichi Sase pointed to the black chicken drinking in the distance.

"It's ridiculous to have people kill animals, but if it's our Ashina chickens who do it, it turns from a joke to an anecdote."

Ichiro's eyes lit up, "Go on." ”

"Japan is now desperate to prove that it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the great powers, and it is desperate to find a place within Japan that can compete with foreigners."

"This is true in all aspects of religion, art and even history, and they have all made achievements. However, in terms of animals, there are no large animals in Japan that can compete with polar bears and ostriches, and at most they can only find some rare birds. ”

"But if our chickens can kill a few Western beasts in public when the situation is right, then Japan, from officials to the people, will hold on to it like a drowning man grasping a straw on the water, because this just proves that Japan is also enough to match the Westerners in this aspect."

"We just need to make an accident to get those beasts out of control, take action against the tourists, and then let the reed chickens appear and settle the matter smoothly."

"When the time comes, various newspapers will definitely compete to report on this animal, and it is possible to spread it to foreign countries, and the prestige you want will naturally be captured."

After Nobuichi Zuose finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the bridge.

Jiurou lowered his head, estimating how many people might be killed if the beast was released as planned.

Ichiro carefully considered the feasibility.

After a long time, Xue Shan suddenly exclaimed loudly: "It's really amazing! Brilliant idea! ”

"Not a bad idea." Oribe Masayuki commented lightly, he didn't expect that he was not as wise as a country ninja.

"Poor monks are not as good as donors." The Dao Shen of Xianfeng Temple clasped his hands and praised.

Seeing that everyone basically agreed, Ichiro agreed: "Okay, since you already have a detailed plan, let's do what you say." Is there anything else I need to do? ”

"To complete this plan, my subordinates need to borrow the whistle of Lord Ichiro and Oribe Masayuki."

The whistle is the unique ninja of the crybaby, the friend of the Buddhist carving master when he was young, and the whistle can cause the animals to go crazy and attack each other regardless of whether they are friends or enemies.

Before, Genichiro didn't know what this whistle was for, after all, he didn't have a forbearance.

But now it seems that this thing has a miraculous effect in an unexpected place! As long as the ninja unravels the cage at the zoo and blows the whistle, the scene is sure to be very chaotic.

Ichiro took the whistle out of his belt and handed it to Shinichi Zuose, "Then what do you need Oribe to do?" ”

Shinichi Sase smiled triumphantly: "I know that the Lone Shadow can train ninja dogs, but I don't know if they can train ninja chickens." ”

Oribe Masayuki gave him a blank look: "I can try." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Anayama was responsible for contacting the people at the zoo to get the three chickens into the exhibit as soon as possible; The two of you are in charge of releasing the animals. We are very safe here, and it is enough to have Master Daoshen alone. ”

Dao Shen also clasped his hands and nodded, he can still do ordinary security work, the biggest threat here in Yoshihara is the ruffians and hooligans and the like, and they can be hit with one punch to see the Buddha.

After Ichiro finished arranging, he remembered what Kurou had said to him before, and hurriedly added: "Remember to control the situation, it's better not to die, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

……

The next day at noon.

Ashina's glowing confectionery shop officially opened.

Since Anayama and the two ninjas were not there, there were only three people in the store, and the two people hired by Anayama before went to prop up the faΓ§ade for Anayama.

But maybe they were unlucky, it has been almost two or three hours since the door opened, and not a single guest has come to the door.

This may have something to do with the fact that Yoshiwara is more lively at night.

Later, I still couldn't wait for anyone, so I just had Jiulang behind the counter in the storefront room and used five-colored rice to develop dim sum.

And Genichiro, on the other hand, was in the open space of the pond in the backyard, and he and Daoshen learned the bow and punch of Senfeng Temple.

The practice of boxing in Xianfeng Temple is like chanting Buddha in the Pure Land sect, and the tantric sect holds mantras in order to accumulate merit. In other words, using or practicing the Xianfeng Temple boxing method itself is also a kind of Buddhist thing.

It's just that as the Xianfeng Temple collectively began to study immortality, this Buddhist thing was delayed, so that the huge Xianfeng Temple couldn't even find a monk who knew the foot of the Xianfeng Peak.

But fortunately, if it's just boxing, Dao Shen, as a boxer, is still quite proficient.

"When practicing boxing, you should visualize that the enemy of the Buddha is right in front of you, and every punch, palm and elbow is to subdue his mind, not because he wants to hurt others."

After Dao Shen finished speaking, he made a calm and calm appearance, as if he was going to stand and settle down.

However, in the next second, he pushed an elbow forward like a landslide, and the air rippled from the sudden attack.

Ichiro could almost imagine his enemy being struck in the heart by this elbow.

However, this elbow was only the beginning, and Dao Shen immediately changed hands to chase a push palm, and slapped the previous elbow position again with a strong palm root position, and finally completed a three-stage knock combo punch with a strong iron mountain leaning.

It seems complicated, but when you use it, it's just a muffled sound of three bangs next to each other.

Ichiro knew that although this move in the game did not hurt much, and could only slightly increase the torso strip, if an ordinary person was hit three times in a row, he would have broken his sternum and pierced his heart and died violently.

Such a fierce fist, you say it is to "subdue its heart"?

[This group of monks is really dark from hand to heart. 】

Ichiro had a cold face on the surface, and his heart turned on an unknown mode of complaining.

To be honest, these three movements are not difficult in themselves, and for Kuichiro, who can master the complex swordsmanship of Baliu, it is not difficult at all to just reproduce the movements themselves.

The difficulty is that Xianfeng Temple's unique way of exerting force and physical fitness. Even an adult Genichiro can't rely on the same movements to achieve the same effect.

I think back then, it was not that Wei Ming Yixin did not learn from Xianfeng Temple, but he just developed a special grappling technique with this way of force. After all, ordinary people's palms and arms can't afford to exert such force continuously.

Exercising your hands and feet to the point of steel, comparable to the blade, this is the power of the Xianfeng Temple's boxing technique.

Most of the reeds use knives, and it is impossible to damage the sensitivity of their palms in order to practice boxing.

And the lonely shadows, because they want to use knives, just learned the leg method of Xianfeng Temple. Among them, the most powerful leg method is called Taidao Foot and Gun Foot, which means, "You can use your leg as a knife and a spear."

"Don't worry, if you want your hands and feet to be as hard as iron, you have to go through years of training and help with Buddhist secret techniques."

"What you need most right now is to get fit, to get the best out of your body, to make some sandbag rakes and do some hitting training. The boxing method of my Xianfeng Temple can accumulate merit, and merit will nourish people's bodies. ”

Shoichiro nodded suspiciously.

[According to this statement, as long as I keep practicing the knock combo boxing, my body will naturally become stronger? 】

[Forget it, try it and you'll know.] 】

So, Genichiro was in the courtyard like this, training in front of the air, while Monk Daoshen silently returned to the store and made dim sum with Kuro.

I was finally fortunate enough to meet the legendary Miko, but I didn't expect such a scene. But unexpectedly, Jiurou actually read the scriptures by heart, and he was quite familiar with the public case of Zen Buddhism. Although Dao Shen was a tantric monk, the two still chatted happily.

Gradually, as the evening came, the sky turned dark blue, the sunlight no longer shone inside Yoshiwara, and the number of men and women outside the door increased, and the laughter of men and women could be heard everywhere.

However, there was not a single customer at the dim sum shop.

Jiurou looked at the more than 200 kinds of snacks in front of him, exuding a clear and bright light, and felt a little frustrated.

Although there is five-colored rice, the dim sum costs almost nothing, and Koichiro is also very rich, so he doesn't care if he can't sell it.

But it's a pity that no one eats what is made.

But if you think about it, who came to a place like Yoshiwara to eat?

However, at this moment, a pair of tall clogs stepped into the threshold.

Jiurou looked at it, and it was actually a beautiful woman with a pale face, who walked into the store with two little girls who were with him.

Although the woman's face was covered with white powder, just looking at the shape of her facial features was enough to make some shy men dizzy. Dressed somewhere between modern and ancient Japanese women, with three symmetrical rows of hair tied back in a bun, she looks rather dignified and somewhat unattainable.

But looking at her eyebrows and eyes, it is full of a condescending provocation and seduction, which seems to imply that the man, with her, everything can happen, but it will definitely pay a lot of price.

Jiurou is still young and doesn't feel anything. But the Taoist monk who had been devoted to studying immortality also lowered his head after taking a look at her and whispered the name of Guanyin.

After all, there are clouds in Pumen, and if you often recite and respect Guanyin Bodhisattva, you will have to leave your desires.

"Miss Bracken."

Just as the beautiful woman wanted to speak, the little girl next to her suddenly pointed to the shiny peony cake on the counter and said, "Look, that snack really shines!" ”

So, Ichiro, who was boxing in the yard, suddenly received a message.

[From the Sixth Quarter - Fallen Hime's Fame Plus 500]

Ichiro: ?
