After saying goodbye to Konoe Mingxi and others, Katsushin walked alone on the road back to Tofukuji Temple.

The autumn rain fell gently on Shengxin's body, and he opened his arms and raised his head, as if embracing the rain; Let the rain pat on his face, the cool rain made him feel a lot refreshed.

The pedestrians around covered their heads, sped up their pace, and looked at Shengxin strangely, is there something wrong with this monk?

Katsushin, however, completely ignored the strange eyes of passers-by, and he remembered in the rain that he and his nurse had fled to Yoshida Egenji Temple, and they were met by a samurai named Ogawa Shigeto, who lived a peaceful life in Egenji Temple under the careful care of Shigeyuan;

The good times didn't last long, and Nizi Qingjiu's pursuers finally found the door, and they began to flee, and a heavy rain poured down on the road, and Katsumi still remembered the biting cold in the rain.

They fled to Bigo Kokutokubunji Temple for refuge, where they spent several years in fear; originally thought that Nizi Qingjiu would finally be able to live a normal life after his death, but he didn't expect the Maori family to start searching for the descendants of the Nizi family in Yin and Yang, so they began to flee east again;

It was also in a heavy rain that he was separated from his nurse, and Ogawa Shigeto did not know whether he was alive or dead in order to lure away the pursuers of the Maori family.

Since then, Katsushin knew that he couldn't die, absolutely not, so many people gave their lives for him without hesitation, if he didn't persevere, how could he be worthy of them, relying on this belief, he fled all the way to Kyoto begging......

Katsushin recalls the past in the rain, he opens his arms to hug his nurse again, and wants to see the warm smile of Ogawa Shigeyuan again; Rain mixed with tears ran down his cheeks, and people are always sad in their memories, even if Katsushin has a soul that does not match his age.

At this moment, two ronin-looking people appeared directly opposite Katsushin, they threw away their hats, drew their sabers and slowly approached Katsushin.

Shengxin noticed something unusual, suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly wiped the rain on his face with his hand, Shengxin turned his head to the side and swept it with his afterglow, and found that there was another person behind him.

No matter how stupid Shengxin was, he could feel that the comer was not good, and he bowed slightly, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife.

Suddenly, the three of them stepped on a hurried pace, and attacked Shengxin at the same time, because they could not resist the attacks before and after at the same time, he retreated directly to the side of the street, leaning his back against the wall, the three of them only hesitated for a moment when they saw this, and then waved their knives and slashed at Shengxin, there was no nonsense in the whole process, it was obvious that they only wanted Shengxin's small life.

Shengxin is one against three at this time, obviously at a disadvantage, the other party is a skilled samurai, not some waste ronin who eats mixed rice.

Katsushin pushed up the knife of one person on the left, and the knife of the other person came straight to his neck, so he quickly bent down to dodge, but was kicked in the chest by the third person's leg.

Katsushin endured the great pain in his chest and fended off the enemy attack along the side of the wall; If he only dealt with one of them, he would not be afraid at all, but it was still a little difficult to face three people at the same time.

You come and go, and you also show a good sense of war, after all, he is one of the best in the monks and soldiers of the South Courtyard of Tofukuji Temple.

The rain began to fall heavier and heavier, and the enemy's offensive became more ferocious, in just a few breaths, Shengxin's waist and left arm were cut, Shengxin didn't have time to think about who was going to kill him, only to see that the person in the middle took advantage of Shengxin's being cut by the left and right people, and used his other hand against the bottom of the handle of the knife, pushing and stabbing towards his neck.

Shengxin didn't have time to dodge, and at the last moment, he subconsciously slammed the back of the knife against the back of the man's knife, and slashed directly at the man's neck along the knife, and in an instant the tip of the man's knife stabbed Shengxin's shoulder blade, but Shengxin cut his throat.

The man clutched his throat, made a strange and terrifying sound, and fell down with his eyes full of incredulity, if it wasn't for Shengxin's quick reaction, the stab would not have been the shoulder blade.

But at this time, he couldn't care much, although he couldn't feel the pain for the time being, he felt that the speed of swinging the knife had slowed down significantly, and the blood flowing from the wound on his shoulder blade stained the placket of his chest red.

At this time, the robe wet by the rain seemed to have added a brick, which consumed more physical strength.

When the remaining two saw that their companions were killed, they were even more angry and slashed at Katsushin.

Shengxin gritted his teeth and pulled out the ribs, and after dodging a knife sideways, he directly kicked the wall behind him with his right leg, and his body pounced out. It turned out that after Shengxin threw himself out, he decisively turned around and threw the ribs hard, hitting one of them in the back.

I have to say that there is an element of luck in this, but luck is also part of strength;

Shengxin was lying on the ground at this time, and before he had time to rejoice, a tingling sensation swept through his body, and due to the vigorous exercise, the wound was pulled, and the blood stained the surrounding rain.

The last person, flicking the rain on the saber, walked angrily towards Shengxin lying on the ground, at this time Shengxin's brain was buzzing, because the consciousness of pain also became a little blurred, but there seemed to be a nursing mother's voice in his heart constantly echoing:

"Shiro, don't give up, keep going."

After so many years, is this the end of it? No, absolutely not, my life was bought by Nakamura, Oyu, Ertanda, Nurse, and Ogawa Shigeyuan in exchange for their lives, and I definitely can't die like this.

"Absolutely not!"

Shengxin watched the man use the knife to stab him in the heart, he roared and held the man's blade tightly with his left hand, the blood on his hand was instantaneous, and the deep wound was accompanied by severe pain, he ignored it, and used the last bit of strength in his body to stab the saber in his right hand into the man's body.

I saw that the man fell directly on Shengxin unwillingly, and slowly swallowed his last breath.

Shengxin didn't have any joy of victory at this time, he looked at the gray sky in a blur, and the rain hit his face like a needle, and he didn't seem to feel it anymore.

In a trance, he saw the figure of a nurse in the sky, holding out her hands to him; Shengxin muttered to himself in an inaudible voice:

"Yes... I'm sorry, Shiro is good... Tired ......"

He turned his head, and at the moment he finally closed his eyes, he saw a group of people hurrying towards him, and then he closed his eyes and passed out.

The blood and rain on the ground were mixed together, and the group of people who stepped into this scene were all a little shocked, after all, it was a few lives, and it seemed that there were samurai and monks.

A samurai touched Katsushin, who was still breathing, and hurriedly shouted to the man on the horse:

"Hosokawa-sama, this monk is still alive, and the pattern on the turban is Tofukuji Temple."

When the warrior on the horse heard this, he pondered for a moment and then instructed his subordinates:

"Since it's from Tofukuji Temple, let's bring it first!"

"Oh!"

Several ashigaru hurriedly picked up the dead body on Shengxin's body and carefully lifted him up.

With a heart of victory, the group headed in the direction of the Nijo Imperial Palace.
