Chapter Seventy-Six: Waiting for the Urn (7)

Although the town-lodge does not have earthen walls and stone walls like castles, there are horse-proof fences like ordinary manors.

"After curfew at night, the defenders will normally close the gates on the east and west sides, and they will not be allowed to enter and exit, and if there is a commotion in the town, the defenders in the barracks on both sides will inevitably come out to observe the movement, and then there will inevitably be another fight."

Tadaaki Ono took out the scribbled map of the town drawn by the Togakure ninjas in the past few days, spread it out on the couch, and explained to everyone, "After capturing the three people of Suganuma Dingcun, it will be difficult to leave the town, so there will be less resistance,...... Koshiro, you go to find your acquaintance in the alley and the ronin now, and spread rumors, saying that Suzuki Shigemi is resentful of Suganuma Dingcun's bullying of himself during the day, and that he will be killed tonight to vent his anger, and that the Unhoji Temple has exhausted all the monks and disciples, a total of 3,000 Nichiren out of Atsumi County, and rushed to Noda Castle. ”

Koshiro is the ninja dressed as a nihilistic monk, although this ninja is also from Shinano Province, but he is not a Togakushi ninja sent by Gao Shisheng to Songshan Su, but a Puhua Taoist who was expelled from the Takeda family, but it does not mean that this person is a real monk.

Puhua Taoist is also known as the Void Monk, nothingness, the meaning of emptiness, or the name of a person. The disciples of the Puhua sect traveled all over the world, stayed everywhere, and pillowed on the straw mat (recommended), so they borrowed the meaning of nothingness and called the void monk.

As early as the Kamakura period, there is the name of the nihilistic monk, there is a monk Lang Nunnery in the Qing of Yingren, known as the Puhua Taoist, often blowing the shakuhachi self-entertainment, and then living in Kyoto Myoan Temple, its disciples are all over the country. Subsequently, there were many people who were imprisoned by the waves and outlaws, and the sect was quite popular for a while, but the disadvantages came out.

According to the "Thirty-two Craftsmen Song Combination", it can be seen that in the middle of the Muromachi shogunate, the name of the "Void Monk" was widely spread throughout the world.

In the Edo period, the Puhua sect became a sect of samurai practice, and those who were not samurai were not allowed to enter, and most of the monks of the void were warriors and ronin. At that time, they were allowed to carry wooden swords and swords with shakuhachi, tengai, robes, or hanging ropes as their ancestral equipment, and traveled all over the country with Musashi Province, Ome no Suzuboji Temple, Shimosoku, Kogan Ichizukiji Temple, and Kyoto Myori Temple. However, since the middle of the Edo period, many rogue people have been rampant in the world as nihilistic monks.

It is now in the last years of Muromachi, in the midst of the turmoil of the Warring States period, so the number of nihilistic monks is increasing day by day, and the harm is even greater than that of the later Jianghu shogunate.

And because of the characteristics of the void monk covering his face and hiding the sword, the evil party and the ninja chaotic wave are more disguised and vain, and they take the opportunity to blend into the good and rich family, and play the shakuhachi as a secret whistle to contact the Quartet colleagues, and talk to each other since then, taking the first one as the internal response, deceitfully opening the door, and then gathering the crowd to break in, wantonly burning, killing and plundering.

There are also many people among the ninjas of Togakure who pretend to be nihilistic monks, walk through the alleys, and check the road conditions in Songshan Suzhou under the pretense of blowing music and performing arts, but Togakure ninjas can deceive ordinary people, but they can't hide from Kanda Koshiro, who is also a ninja.

This colleague from Shinano Province, when he saw the Void Monk disguised as a Togakure ninja in and out of the merchants, mistakenly thought that he had coaxed a gold owner, so he blew the shakuhachipan road, wanting to blend in and get a piece of the pie, where did he think that he would be led directly into a remote alley, front and back, and directly flashed out more than a dozen strong men with sticks and dance sticks, blocking his way.

scared Kanda Koshiro into a cold sweat, thinking that he had met a peer who didn't speak martial arts and wanted to eat black. Three steps and two steps on the spot, kicking the wall to escape, but I didn't want to just climb the wall, I was blindfolded by the Togakure ninja who had been ambushed for a long time, and I fell down with a scream, and I was beaten on the spot.

After being tied up, he was dragged into the earthen warehouse and interrogated about his origin, Ono Tadashi saw that he was still able to speak well, and he had been active near Songshan Suzhou for a short time, so he even bluffed and frightened him, and recruited him to help with this matter.

As soon as Koshiro Kanda heard what Ono Tadaaki said, he knew that his move was to disturb the morale of the Nagamo people, and immediately agreed to it.

It is said that Suzuki Shigesumi will kill Suganuma Dingcun tonight, in order to confuse Suzuki Shigemumi's henchmen in the barracks when the killing starts tonight, so that they do not know the truth and are at a loss.

It would have been better if they had provoked a fight with the people brought by Suganuma Dingcun, but as for the Nichiren sect instigating a fight, the attack on Noda Castle was intended to cause the fear of the Kannuma family, whose relatives and belongings were in the barracks of Noda Castle.

Once they hear that Noda Castle is in distress, they will inevitably wonder and panic with each other, and they have no intention of fighting to the death.

"There are also friends and colleagues at the feet, and those who are willing to kill thieves for the Musashi judge can also prepare now, just wait for the fire in the Suzuki mansion tonight, and they can move together for a while, and make noise in the town! If the thieves in the barracks outside the town come to their rescue, they can rob and kill them along the way. ”

Ono Tadaaki promised, "For this righteous act, whoever is willing to serve the Sunfu, Judge Musashi will give him a heavy reward." Koshiro is not only a hero of Shinshu, but also a poor monk. ”

This ninja called Kanda Koshiro,Can be valued by Ono Tadaaki.,Not only spared his life.,But also brought him over to plot big things together.,It's also a little capable.,It's quite famous among the ronins in the south of the county.,There are a lot of friends.,There are many vain colleagues who are good friends with him.。

These days, he has secretly contacted some cronies, and has already agreed to serve Gao Shisheng and reward him with a favor, he replied loudly, "Zen Master is virtuous, he will not coax me and other He ruler villains, and being able to serve the Musashi judge is also a blessing that we can only cultivate by doing good for the three lives of the floating waves!" He first said a flattering word, then paused and asked, "Those Cangza wealthy merchants in the county?" ”

In these days when Ono Tadaaki was in Songshan Suku, he not only got into a relationship with Suzuki Shigesumi and others, but also recovered this Kanda Kogoro for use, but also used the relationship of the Nagata family to secretly communicate with the Kuraza wealthy merchants and heart sticks in Songshan Suku, and got their support.

Since He Maozhong sent troops to forcibly take over Songshan Suku, these wealthy merchants in the town have been continuously taxed, or to put it bluntly, they have led troops to the door to rob, and the town is responsible for public security.

was forcibly repelled by Suzuki Shigesumi and others with strong soldiers, and several people died for this, so there is no need to say more about how bad the relationship is.

"I have a few handwritten letters here, and I ask Koshiro to send them together, and I also ask them to see the fire tonight."

Koshiro Kanda took these letters and replied, "Okay! ”

"If they ask if Judge Musashi will come, you say that Judge Musashi has sent his troops out of the city and will arrive at Zenshu Temple by tomorrow morning,...... Koshiro, this sentence is not fake! ”
