After the dinner, Oda Heizou prepared a courtyard for Zhou Ming as a residence, and arranged for a maid to serve, which can be described as very intimate and caring.

It's a pity that Oda Heizou's arrangement is that the blind cat meets the dead mouse, and Zhou Ming's first order after staying in the courtyard is to let the maids go to sleep and not set foot in his room.

After that, he began his daily routine.

First of all, absorb a soul crystal, and increase the strength of your soul by one person again, and now it is already the strength of sixteen people.

Then use the Grass Reckless Gu to add strength to yourself.

Almost all Gu worms that can add strength to the Gu Master themselves basically have a drawback, that is, when they add strength to the Gu Master, they will be accompanied by a strong pain.

And the more obvious the effect of adding strength, the more intense the pain.

For example, Gu masters who have embarked on the Gu Li Dao can use more beast power Gu to increase their strength, such as bear power Gu, wolf power Gu, horsepower Gu, etc., which can add the power of a bear, the power of a wolf, and the power of a horse......

The strengthening of the Gu Master's body by these powerful Gu worms is not achieved overnight, and it needs to be slowly improved many times.

But even so, the effect of the Ancient Beast Power Gu was stronger than the Jin Li Gu and Jun Li Gu that were prevalent in the Northern Plains today, so the pain was much stronger than the Jin Force Gu.

Although the Grass Reckless Gu is not a strength Gu worm, it is also an increase in strength for the Gu Master, and it is still accompanied by a strong sense of pain, which needs to be strengthened many times.

If you rush it, you will only go too far, and the pain will become stronger and stronger, until the Gu Master's body can't bear it, and he will even die of pain!

At this moment, the grass reckless Gu was suspended above Zhou Ming's head, emitting a faint green color shining on Zhou Ming's body.

Zhou Ming sat cross-legged, his muscles trembling uncontrollably, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he endured waves of pain.

After a while, he felt that the pain began to become more intense and unbearable, Zhou Ming knew that he had reached his limit, and hurriedly withdrew his reckless Gu.

Wiping a handful of sweat, Zhou Ming exhaled softly.

"The enhancement of the Grass Reckless Gu will take about twenty days."

"The growth of my own strength, reaching this level at the second turn level is probably the limit. Unless I'm willing to use the Iron Bone Gu and Copper Skin Gu, which can change the physique, to increase the upper limit of the body's carrying capacity. ”

"But in that case, if the power mark is engraved on the body, it will interfere with the wooden path mark, and it will not be beautiful."

"As for the Gu worms in the Wood Dao Gu Worm that can change their physique, although there are also them, they are the same as the Grass Mangling Gu, they are not common, and they can only be found slowly in the future."

……

Nothing was said all night.

In the next few days, Oda Heizou did not rush to leave, and went to Kyoto to participate in the world's first samurai conference, and even rarely appeared in front of Zhou Ming.

It was as if he had forgotten Zhou Ming, ignoring Zhou Ming, and completely lost his previous enthusiasm.

It was Matsui Kyanobu, the personal samurai by Oda Heizou's side, who came to Zhou Ming every day and took him around Koriyama Castle, accompanying him throughout the whole process, and the two quickly became acquainted.

Although Oda Heizou never showed up, Zhou Ming was never in a hurry, practicing step by step every day to improve his strength.

It's just that the so-called beautiful scenery and food of Koriyama City are really not worth mentioning in Zhou Ming's opinion, it is not so much a visit to Koriyama City, but rather a spice after practice.

After all, Zhou Ming's two lives together are only in their thirties, and they are far from reaching the heart of those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.

Moreover, in addition to appreciating the customs of Koriyama City, Zhou Ming has another thing to do.

In the Koriyama Castle, martial arts schools such as Takeuchi Broken Water Flow and Oishi Kamikaze Flow are not rampant, but they are by no means rare, and if you count them carefully, there are dozens of large and small, strong and weak, and the level is uneven.

On the third day, Zhou Ming couldn't hold back the urge to do it, and picked three dojos in a row.

But this time he didn't kill people again, accompanied by Matsui Xiedobu, every dojo didn't dare to slack off on his arrival, and Zhou Ming didn't want to go crazy and kill people.

The consequence of this is that both sides will not do their best in the battle with the other party, and at the end of the point, after Zhou Ming defeats the other party, the martial arts experience gained will be correspondingly reduced.

The battle was not pleasant at all, so just two days later, Zhou Ming stopped this farce-like martial arts game, and instead asked Matsui Conexin if there were any famous bandits nearby.

As soon as Matsui Xianobu heard this, he guessed what Zhou Ming was going to do, and shook his head again and again in shock, indicating that he didn't know anything.

Zhou Ming saw that he had a firm attitude and knew that he definitely didn't want to let him leave Koriyama Castle, so as not to be blamed by Oda Heizou.

couldn't get an answer from Matsui Xiexin's mouth, and Zhou Ming didn't force him, so he decided to find a way to inquire about this matter by himself.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Matsui Kyanobu came up and told the truth about the bandit group near Koriyama Castle.

Zhou Ming knew that Matsui Xianobu was instructed by Oda Heizou, so he laughed secretly in his heart, and did not poke him, so he went out of the city alone that day.

Matsui Kyosin still wants to follow, where can he keep up? It didn't take two streets to be left behind.

Time is like water in a sponge, squeezed and then it flows away.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed in Zhou Ming's life.

There was also a very interesting change in this period.

Oda Heizou's attitude towards Zhou Ming was ignorant from the beginning, and Zhou Ming didn't come back for a few days after he went out of the city, but he became anxious, and sent people to find Zhou Ming over and over again to ask him to go back.

Zhou Ming is now killing robbers and robbers, how can he have the spare time to take care of him.

The most important goal for him is always to improve his strength, and other than that, the so-called socialization, the so-called etiquette, are all meaningless things.

How long can he stay in this world at most?

Leaving this world, it is estimated that he will never see Oda Heizou and these people again in this life. What's the point of maintaining those fake relationships?

It wasn't until this day that Oda Heizou made it clear that he would go to Kyoto together, and Zhou Ming reluctantly withdrew from the promising work of exterminating bandits and returned to Koriyama Castle.

The next day, Oda Heizou couldn't wait to get ready for the car, and with a team of thirty people, he set out on the road to Kyoto with Zhou Ming.

Koriyama Castle is about 700 miles away from Kyoto, and a team of 30 people, walking and wagons, walks about 50 miles a day, and it takes more than ten days just to get on the road.

This is still the best situation that there are no accidents on the way, no bandits, and no damage to the road, and the road is safe.

However, since Oda Heizou will arrange it this way, he must have calculated the time well and will not be late because he wastes too much time on the road.

Zhou Ming has no objections, his strength is still improving every day, so he naturally will not let go of such an opportunity.

When he arrives in Kyoto, the world's No. 1 samurai tournament begins, and what awaits him is constant fighting, and then imagining that he can slowly accumulate and digest and improve his strength in such a leisurely manner, which is a luxury.

Luckily, the journey wasn't boring.

Thanks to Momonosuke Nohara's-like ability to rule the world and brutal rule, the island country of Tosho seems to be unified, but in fact it is still in a state of respecting the same lord and acting separately.

The daimyo were powerful in their own territories, exploiting and oppressing, disregarding human life, expropriating and expropriating tyranny, the common people suffered, bandits were rampant, murder and goods, and there was a chaotic scene up and down.

Zhou Ming has cleaned several bandit gangs around Junshan City these days, and many of them are villagers who can't survive, and they have no way out, turning from plundered to marauders.

On the way to Kyoto, such bandits are also uncommon.

Whether it is a wheeled carriage, a luxurious escort team, or a carriage full of supplies, all tell the bandits along the way that this is a piece of fat.

So, the bandits, who heard the wind, rushed forward one after another, and then went forward one after another...... Die.

How could a group of bandits, who were mostly composed of outcasts, half of them yellow-faced and thin-skinned, fight samurai who ate and drank well and practiced martial arts diligently?

What's more, there is also Zhou Ming in charge.

The bandit gang of less than fifty people does not even have the qualifications to let Zhou Ming shoot, only when there are too many people, it is easy for the samurai to wear and tear, or when a master appears, Zhou Ming will make a move.

Then there was a massacre.

The number of bandits encountered along the way was really a bit unexpected for Zhou Ming, so much so that he regretted it a little, why didn't he prepare a soul burial toad or similar Gu worm in advance to collect those dead souls.

These are all resources!

What a waste!
