Chapter 1: The Warring States Rebellion
The people who live on this land originally lived a simple life of looking up at the sky and cultivating the land. They draw hope for survival from nature, and survive hard and tenaciously. Even so, joy and happiness can be seen on their faces. Maybe it's a lucky thing to survive.
However, this life has been ruined by the chaos and ruthlessness of war. The conspirators, with their brains, turned into the flames of war, ended up inflicting heavy damage on this era. The originally simple village was conquered by the army, the houses in the light of the fire, the women and children
Crying and wailing could not stop the army from moving forward. The once prosperous capital was also breached by thousands of troops, and the mournful sound of the city could be heard in the sound of the army's advance. Peace and prosperity are fleeting, and the flames of war are raging on the burning earth.
This is the chaotic and scarred Warring States Period!
............
On the abandoned path, the voice of a person could be heard in the distance, and when I looked at the source of the sound, there were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys. The setting sun dyed their figures blazing red, and stretched them a little.
"Hoshikawa-sama, we didn't go in the wrong direction this time, did we?" asked the slightly petite boy on the side.
"There should be no mistake, the reason for the wrong walk last time was the wrong way!" replied the other teenager with confidence. The boy had a long knife hanging from his waist, and the spike of the knife swayed with the boy's footsteps.
"Also, don't call me Hoshikawa-sama, just call me Tatsukun," the boy stopped, looked to the side, and said, "Also, what are you doing dressed up as a boy...... Obviously a very beautiful girl!" Tatsumi looked at the woman next to him who was dressed as a man, and sighed softly.
"Although I am very happy to be praised by Hoshikawa-sama, my daughter is inconvenient to walk, and she doesn't want to be abandoned by Hoshikawa-sama, so ......" A layer of blush appeared on Tachibana's face, probably a little shy. But the tone did not change, and he refused very directly.
"There's nothing inconvenient, but I still know how to do swordsmanship. Tatsu said as he patted Tachibana's shoulder.
"Although Tatsukun's swordsmanship has been passed on by Lord Chojuro, it's better not to get into trouble. Maybe it was under the influence of Chen.,The girl directly called him "Chen-kun".,But the girl still insisted on her own ideas.。
Tatsumi looked at the girl and knew that his words had no effect, and finally gave up the idea of letting Tachibana change back into women's clothes.
"Well, let's hurry up, there should be a village nearby. Tatsumi looked into the distance, if there was a village, he would be able to live there, so as not to suffer outside. Tatsu looked at himself and Tachibana's clothes, which were originally quite clean, had been stained with various stains, and there was a faint smell on his body. Tachibana should feel sad for a girl like this, this season is starting to become less warm, and I need to find a better place to rest.
"When will you be able to get to the capital?" Chen's pale blue eyes reflected the distant scene, and his body that had stopped began to move forward again.
"Chenjun......" The girl followed the boy and shouted softly.
"Huh?" Tatsumi looked ahead without looking back, his gaze retracting from the distance, and gently scanning the surroundings.
"I feel that Chenjun is very different from when I first met. I remember the first time I met Tatsukun, there was no expression on my face at all!like a piece of wood", the girl chuckled and continued, "But now Tatsukun feels gentler, and although he still doesn't smile much, he still cares about people." The girl looked at the boy's back, as if trying to compare it with the person in her memory.
"People always change. Mr. Chojuro taught me not only swordsmanship, but also how to do myself. A swordsman with only swordsmanship can only be a tool for killing. The teacher may have taught me the most important lesson", the boy stopped again and said with a smile, "So, I must fulfill the teacher's wish!"
The girl also stopped to look at the boy, who had a little nostalgia on his face, but more of a determined look. The young man's face changed slightly, and he said softly to the girl: "Tachibana, you have to take care of yourself!"
In the girl's sight, the left hand side of the young man lit up, and then she saw two knife lights flash in front of her eyes. The light was fleeting, and the crisp sound of weapons clashing was heard in my ears. The young man slowly turned his body, looked at the grass next to him with a little seriousness, and said, "Swordsmanship is okay, it seems that you are not a first-class person of robbers." ”
The girl also looked at the grass beside her, and then saw a strong man, armed with a sword, his clothes were very tattered, and his face did not have the same determined expression as the samurai she had seen, but was full of confusion and incomprehension. It's a wandering swordsman, the girl thought to herself.
"Boy, your swordsmanship is very good, in this way, how about you and me, it seems that it is not easy for you to survive, it may be good to follow me!" Although the man seemed to be invited, no matter how he looked at it, it was to hide the fear in his heart, and his body was trembling slightly.
Why is this little ghost's reaction so fast, and his strength is surprisingly strong, did he provoke a terrible character...... How could such a clever swordsman be in this barren mountain and wilderness, the man scolded in his heart. He couldn't successfully defeat the boy with his quick raid and robe, but was easily defused by the boy. Moreover, how can this seemingly weak body have more strength than himself. It's so strong, it doesn't match his age at all, the man looked at the young man with the knife and couldn't help but think.
"Uncle, it's not good to do it to children. The young man's original calm expression had long since disappeared, replaced by calmness and seriousness. "The wandering samurai have indeed lost what they hold onto. The young man swung out a bright light, and the sharp long knife slid sharply towards the man's body with the bright light.
The man is also a person who has been in contact with the boundary between life and death, and his body reacts before his consciousness, and he luckily dodges the deadly attack. The man was almost killed by the young man in front of him, but fortunately, his body miraculously recovered.
Hurry up! The man has no other thoughts in his heart, and the young man in front of him is very dangerous!
"Tachibana, close your eyes. The boy said softly to the girl behind him. The girl obediently closed her eyes. She didn't want to see the scene of the teenager's murder, but this uncle who had just emerged was not worthy of her sympathy, and she couldn't see this bloody scene, so she could only close her eyes and not look at it.
At the same time as the girl closed her eyes, a bright light rose on the young man's hand again, but it was not just a bright light, four or five bright lights flew towards the man who was about to escape, the man just took a few steps forward, and his body fell down, and he was still conscious, he wanted to look behind the young man, probably wondering how he was hit, but before he could turn around, because of muscle weakness, his head gently hit the dry soil.
The young man looked at the fallen man and sighed softly: "I'm already a swordsman without a heart, and this is just a tool for killing." He put away his long knife, turned to the girl, and said, "Let's go, it's already evening." ”
The girl answered softly, first pulling the boy's clothes and walking for a while, and then opened her eyes.
"Tatsukun's swordsmanship is quite powerful, and he is indeed the most proud disciple of Lord Chojuro!" the girl said softly.
"I say I'm the most proud, but I'm the only disciple of the teacher. I'm the only one who is the heir of Tianjingliu, but I can't work hard if I don't work hard. The boy said lightly, and his thoughts began to drift ......
"It seems like it's been five or six years since I came to this Warring States period, and I've changed a lot. Tatsumi murmured softly, looking at the distant village, and the memories in his mind were constantly awakened.
............
"Chen, it looks like there's a small village down there. There was some irrepressible joy in the girl's originally flat voice, and Tatsumi was also pulled back from the memories by the girl's voice.
"It's finally here, it looks like it's a small village. Tatsumi looked at the village under the hill, in this war-torn era, this village still maintains relatively intact houses, and there are no traces of destruction, which can be regarded as rare.
Tatsumi looked around, and the village was surrounded by a grove of trees. It seems that there is not much communication with the outside world, there is no wide road to the outside world, and it will take a while to get out. Perhaps the lack of transportation was also one of the reasons why it was not affected by the war, Tatsumi took a closer look at the village.
"Chen-kun, let's go down, maybe we can find a place to spend the night. Tachibana asked softly.
"Well, it's almost night, so it's better to hurry down. Tatsu said softly. The bleak light of dusk shone on the whole land, a lonely and desolate atmosphere. "What a chaotic time!" Tatsumi sighed softly as if remembering something.
............
"It's nice to be able to find this place to rest!" Tatsumi said softly as he looked at the starry sky outside.
"Everyone was very kind, and dinner was also warmly invited. Anyway, it's an ideal place!"
The girl turned her head and said as she looked at the young man who was thinking.
"Have you figured out where to go in the future? After solving Master's long-cherished wish, I will also go to find the answer to my own question. The young man asked, his tone as calm as ever, and the look in his eyes was unfathomable.
"Will Tatsukun leave me in the future?" Tachibana's expression became a little depressed, and a shallow light appeared in his eyes.
"Maybe, no matter how close people are, there will be times when they are separated. You have to find a place to live, it's really not easy in this troubled world. Chen's expression did not change at all, and his eyes contained a lot of emotion, but he finally said this.
Tachibana raised his head, stared at Tatsu's eyes, and after a while, said slowly, "Then, I'll sleep first." Chen-kun, you should go to bed early." Tachibana's voice choked up. It seemed to take a lot of her strength to say this, and she lay down heavily.
Starlight sprinkled in the room, Tatsu looked at the orange who turned his back, stared blankly for a moment, and then stood up and looked out the window.
"It's even more dangerous to go to the unknown road than to stay in the war-torn era!Tachibana, you better live as an ordinary person!" Silent thought in his heart, Tatsumi also felt a little guilty. Tachibana, like herself, was also brought up by Mr. Chojuro, so she should be very lonely when she leaves by herself.
"However, my problem still needs to be solved, I don't know what this mark is that brought me into this world. "Xing Chuanchen, that is, Zhang Chen, has been in this world for five years with that white light. Although I have adapted to life here, I still miss my former home, after all, it is a place full of memories. Although there is no normal family atmosphere, I still miss my former home.
Raise your arm and you can see the special spiral mark on your arm in the light of the stars. At this time, the mark looks very ordinary, no different from ordinary tattoos. But Tatsu is still worth it, there is a powerful power sleeping in this imprint, a power that can cross time and space.
"I don't know if I'll be able to find my way home?" Chen muttered, looking up at the countless stars in the night sky, trying to find something in them.
