The number of people who came to the temple to offer incense gradually increased. Although Wang Shuqiu's robe was tightly draped, the looming skin inside made her feel very uncomfortable. A person like a flower like her was slim and alone in the pavilion, and how it was not infinitely reverie to dress like this, and soon a few scoundrels came up to make fun.

One of them grinned: "Little lady, who are you waiting for?" Wang Shuqiu's heart tensed, and she held the knife tighter with both hands. The other laughed and said, "Yo! The little lady is still holding a blade, and she wants to murder her husband. The other splashes followed. The first one laughed and said: "It's not the murder of the husband, it's the murder of the adulterer." A splashy person asked, "Why?" The first one said, "Aren't we adulterers?" "Do you mean that the little lady is an adulteress?" The first one said, "What do you say?" The sloppy laughed and said, "Adulterer and adulteress, haven't you heard? The others burst into laughter.

Wang Shuqiu plucked up her courage and said, "You guys hurry up and go away, otherwise you're welcome." When the pranksters heard this, they laughed even more presumptuously, and said, "We want to see how unkind you are." Then a few splashes came up. Wang Shuqiu held the handle of the knife in her right hand and said, "Go away, otherwise I will draw the knife." The few splashes smiled and said, "You pull it out, pull it out and show us." ”

has already pinched her face, Wang Shuqiu screamed, and pulled out the knife and slashed it casually. The splash who went to touch his face couldn't get a cut open, and the blood flowed for a long time, and he screamed in pain. Fortunately, Wang Shuqiu's strength is small, otherwise this arm would have been cut off. The crowd didn't expect that a weak woman would dare to pull out a knife and cut people, and they were shocked for a while.

Wang Shuqiu grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, stepped back, and said, "Go away!" Seeing that although her hand holding the knife trembled, she seemed to have a desperate determination, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and everyone saw that they couldn't get close to Wang Shuqiu, for fear of being cut by a sharp knife, and there were more and more crowds of people watching on the side of the road, so they had to think that they were unlucky and left stupidly.

Wang Shuqiu saw that everyone was gone, and the tip of the knife slowly hung down. The blood dripping on the ground had not dried up, and Wang Shuqiu not only thought to herself: What happened to me, I actually cut and injured someone. Was it Miyamoto's words that inspired me? Or is it ······ The crowd dispersed. Miyamoto Musashi clapped his hands and walked into the pavilion and praised: "That's why it's so ruthless." You remember, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. This is an unbreakable truth. Wang Shuqiu nodded with palpitations.

Miyamoto Musashi said, "The knife is immediately sheathed after use." Only in this way can it show its domineering. Wang Shuqiu returned the knife to the sheath as she said. Miyamoto Musashi said: "Put on this dress first, go out of the city and find a secluded place to change." The man surnamed Shi has sent people to search the whole city, and we must get out of the city as soon as possible. Wang Shuqiu turned her back, took off her robe and quickly put on her clothes, Rao was like this, her face was already red, and her heart was pounding, this was a change of clothes in front of the public.

Miyamoto Musashi and Wang Shuqiu followed the flow of people out of the city. Wang Shuqiu glanced back and prayed secretly: Brother Tong, you bless me to learn swordsmanship and come back to avenge you. Miyamoto Musashi handed over a steamed bun and said, "Fill your hunger, there is still a long way to go." Wang Shuqiu took a bite and said, "Where are we going?" Miyamoto Musashi said: "Visit Luoyang Sikong." Wang Shuqiu said: "Luoyang Sikong? Isn't it amazing? Miyamoto Musashi said: "I heard that he can use a Taiji sword, and I want to confirm it." ”

After walking for a long time, Wang Shuqiu walked with a sore back, and saw that Miyamoto Musashi had no intention of stopping, so he had to endure and follow. After walking for a while, Wang Shuqiu sweated like rain, her legs were heavy, her embroidered shoes were torn, and her toes were swollen and blistered. And under the hot sun, she was extremely thirsty, and her throat was already smoking.

Finally, Miyamoto Musashi said, "Take a break against the tree." Wang Shuqiu sat under the rock, panting vigorously. Miyamoto Musashi handed over the kettle and said, "Drink some!" Wang Shuqiu took it and drank it. Miyamoto Musashi said, "If there is a town in front of you, buy you a pair of straw sandals." You sit down, I'll look for a water source. He left with the kettle.

Wang Shuqiu kept wiping her sweat, she had not traveled such a long way since she was born, even outside, either in a carriage or on a horse. She knows very well that this is the first step in cultivation, and if she is even afraid of this step, let alone revenge, she will not even be able to practice swordsmanship. Thinking of this, Wang Shuqiu's heart was relieved, a little hard, a little tired, as long as he could practice swordsmanship, revenge was his greatest wish.

Miyamoto Musashi walked over, opened a bag on the ground, and inside was a gray dress, and said, "Quickly change it." Wang Shuqiu changed into a dress as she said, and the gray color was not suitable for a young girl. Miyamoto Musashi said, "I tied my hair." Wang Shuqiu tied a ponytail with a red head rope.

Miyamoto Musashi threw a freshly sharpened wooden sword and said, "Pick it up!" Wang Shuqiu knew that she was going to teach her swordsmanship, so she picked it up excitedly. Miyamoto Musashi also held a wooden sword and said, "Attack me!" Wang Shuqiu held the sword in both hands and said, "Me? Miyamoto Musashi shouted, "Hurry up! Wang Shuqiu screamed, raised the wooden sword and slashed at Miyamoto Musashi, suddenly stepped on the small stone and twisted, before she reached Miyamoto Musashi's side, she fell to the ground, Wang Shuqiu was full of shame.

Miyamoto Musashi said, "Pick up the sword and come again!" Wang Shuqiu couldn't bear to pick up the sword and stood up, holding the sword in both hands and slashing at Miyamoto Musashi. Miyamoto Musashi flashed to the side and said, "Come again!" Wang Shuqiu slashed again, and Miyamoto Musashi said: "It's too slow, be fast!" Wang Shuqiu exerted all the strength of his life, slashing left and right. She didn't know how many moves she had made, but she felt a little spinning.

Gradually, Wang Shuqiu could no longer distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, but only turned with Miyamoto Musashi. With a "pounce", Wang Shuqiu sat down on the ground, panting arrogantly and pale. Miyamoto Musashi shouted, "Do you know why I can't even touch the corners of my clothes? That's because you're moving too slowly. The sword should be as fast as lightning, and a single blow is deadly. Like you, there are many flaws, even if you have hundreds of lives, you will give them away. Wang Shuqiu nodded and gasped: "Yes!" I ······ Be sure to remember······ Live. ”

Miyamoto Musashi said, "Get up!" Let's go! Wang Shuqiu got up and followed behind Miyamoto Musashi. Gritting his teeth again, he only ate a few steamed buns on the way, until at dusk, he finally saw a small town. asked for a room, Wang Shuqiu didn't go to dinner, and first lay on the bed and snored and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until the next morning. Wang Shuqiu only felt pain in her limbs and weakness all over her body.

Miyamoto Musashi pushed the door in and said, "Change into straw sandals first, and then go to eat breakfast." "Wang Shuqiu has never worn straw sandals. Although she was a royal person, she did not bind her feet, but she felt awkward and indescribable when she wore these straw sandals, so she said: "Miyamoto, can you wear boots." Miyamoto Musashi said: "Let's trek through mountains and rivers, how can we do without straw sandals." Not to mention that boots are expensive, how can there be so much money to buy. Put it on, don't be verbose. ”

Wang Shuqiu originally wanted to say why not go to the rich man to steal some silver, but with Miyamoto Musashi's style, he wouldn't do it, and the words retracted when they came to his mouth. Miyamoto Musashi saw that Wang Shuqiu wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "What do you want to say?" Wang Shuqiu turned her mouth and said: "I am weak all over, I can't lift my hands and feet, can I rest for a day." ”

Miyamoto Musashi said, "This is the result of your usual comfort. People are lazy when they are comfortable, and if they are lazy, their limbs are not diligent, how can they train a strong body. If you are as weak as you are, I am afraid that you will not be able to kill even a chicken, how can you kill people. Wang Shuqiu stood up and said, "I was wrong." ”

When she went out, she looked back and saw two benches side by side, and she thought to herself: it turned out that he was sleeping on the bench. Thinking about it again, I actually had the same room with Miyamoto Musashi. Nothing happened, but it was a little embarrassing. Thinking about it again, Miyamoto Musashi is a swordsman in the world, and he is above board, can he deceive the dark room? It's because I have distracting thoughts in my heart, and the top priority is to practice swordsmanship.

It's still steamed buns early. Miyamoto Musashi said: "Eat enough, and you have to rush for another day." Wang Shuqiu had already ignored her status as a lady, and she ate wildly, leaving the people next to her dumbfounded. Before Miyamoto Musashi left, he bought seven or eight steamed buns to take with him. Now Wang Shuqiu's dress is not noble and elegant at all, only rustic. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she must dress up to show her beautiful side. And at this moment, Wang Shuqiu is just a very ordinary woman, who has lost her former brilliance, but gradually reveals a heroic spirit.
