Chapter 178: Dongbaishan Taihao asks for help
Tae-ho hugged Misa's corpse, which was slowly becoming cold, and fell into self-blame. When Misa asked him to untie the chains on her body just now, she should have been ready to commit suicide. The reason why Taehao feels guilty is because Misa unreservedly revealed the secret of the Japanese samurai to him before she died, and he couldn't save her life, which is really a great sin!
Taihao immediately assigned some officials to carry Misa's body out of the cold and damp dungeon. Tae-ho instructed the servants to be careful not to cause any unnecessary damage to Misa's body.
Because it was getting late, Taehao decided to hold a simple funeral for Mi-sa tomorrow. Early the next morning, Taihao personally purchased a beautiful coffin. The coffin is made of fine wood and coated with a thin layer of gold lacquer, giving it a solemn and solemn appearance. The inside of the coffin is covered with a soft silk cushion to protect Misa's comfort during her long sleep.
When everything was ready, the officials carried Misa's coffin to a secluded place in the suburbs. It is a picturesque place, surrounded by lush trees and clear streams. Taehao chose this place as Misa's resting place in the hope that she would find true peace here, and next to Misa's grave was the burial place of Fujiwara Nakaichi.
Although Taihao had learned from Meisha that the group of Japanese warriors they led were hiding in Daluo Mountain, the top priority was not to rush to exterminate them, but to find the fifth uncle Shang Mang, and ask the uncle to go out of the mountain and train more inheritors of "Painting the Tiger by Cats" to help the great cause of resisting the Japanese.
On the second day after Mei Sha was buried, Tai Hao rode alone to Dongbai Mountain and found Shang Mang's house. Although he knew that the fifth uncle was not here now? But before, the fifth uncle told himself that once he couldn't solve something, he could go to Dongbai Mountain and tell Yin Hai about the troubles he encountered, and Yin Hai would find the place where the fifth uncle was.
Tai Hao knocked on Shang Mang's courtyard door, waiting for a response. Soon, Yin Hai opened the door.
"Senior Brother Taihao, you're here, you're here to find my master, right?" Yin Hai asked.
Tai Hao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yin Hai, is my Fifth Senior Uncle back?" ”
Yin Hai shook his head and responded, "Master came back once yesterday, but only stayed for an hour before leaving, he told me that you would come here today, let me take you to the backyard tea room, he said he had already put what you wanted there." ”
Tai Hao suddenly felt curious: it turned out that the fifth uncle had already guessed that he would come here. At that moment, under the leadership of Yin Hai, Taihao came to the tea room in the backyard, and then Yin Hai left. Tai Hao saw a wooden box on the table in the tea room, and on the wooden box was a letter, Tai Hao opened the letter and read:
Taihao's nephew, Uncle Shi knows your intentions, and if you can come to Dongbai Mountain to find your uncle, it has proved that you know the way to deal with the warriors of the Japanese Kingdom. As your uncle, I am deeply proud and grateful. I decided to teach you the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" for two reasons, one is that although Uncle Shi has accepted twelve apprentices, they can't carry forward "Painting a Tiger with a Cat", just because the Modao technique is more suitable for use in the army, and those who can lead the army must be an official of the imperial court; Second, "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" is not only a disciple of the sect, it is suitable to be promoted to the entire Eastern Empire army to resist the invasion of the Japanese Invaders, and you are the most suitable promoter.
"Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" is a profound martial art that requires careful, patient, and determined cultivation to comprehend its mysteries. Before teaching you, Uncle Shi will remind you of a few important things:
First, have a normal heart. "Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" is not something that can be practiced overnight, it requires you to practice consistently and maintain inner peace at all times. It is only when you are not disturbed by the outside world that you can truly understand the meaning.
Second, you should humbly ask your senior brother for advice. Although "Drawing a Tiger by Cat" is a peerless martial art, there are still many incomprehensible points in it. Don't be complacent because of self-righteousness, and dare to ask your brothers and sisters for advice, they have been cultivating longer than you, and each has certain advantages. Be open to their guidance and advice. Only after repeated reflection and practice can you truly grasp the essence of it.
Senior Nephew, Senior Uncle hopes that you can keep these two points in mind and integrate them into your cultivation. As a peerless martial art, "Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" will have a huge impact on your road to fighting against the Japanese. I believe that with your efforts, you will be able to practice this martial art to the extreme and cultivate an invincible Modao army.
Uncle Shi left the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with Cats" in this wooden box, and you can take it away now. Remember, this recipe must never fall into the hands of the enemy. Now that I have taught you the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with Cats", Uncle Shi is convinced that you will definitely drive all the Japanese robbers out of the Eastern Empire.
After reading the letter, Taihao opened the wooden box, took out the secret book, and after turning a few pages at random, he put it in his arms, and then left the village. Before leaving, Yin Hai also reminded him: Senior Brother Taihao, my master also asked me to tell you that you can seriously understand the essence of "Painting a Tiger with Cats", and only by mastering the essence can you be truly invincible!
When Taihao returned to Wenchuan City, it was already late at night, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw that Lord Taihao had returned, and hurriedly opened the city gate. At this time, it was not only the soldiers guarding the gate who guarded the city gate, but also an official, who was the commander of the army and could be promoted. The duty of the soldiers to join the army is not to guard the door, his appearance made Tai Hao feel very curious, but before Tai Hao asked, he took the initiative to say to Tai Hao: "Today, the lower officials are on duty at the Yamen, and there are soldiers guarding the gate one after another, saying that some martial arts righteous soldiers have come to the city gate and want to enter the city, and you are not in the city, so the lower officials will come to the city gate to inspect and see what they are doing." Unexpectedly, those so-called martial arts righteous warriors were several brothers of Lord Taihao, so the lower officials let them enter the city. ”
Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Can Jin join the army, does it mean that Senior Brother Chaozi and they are back?" ”
Neng Jin said: "Exactly, they just left here. ”
Taihao said: "It's hard to join the army!" ”
Subsequently, Tai Hao returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and after the housekeeper Jia Qi opened the door for Tai Hao, Tai Hao asked, "Butler, are my senior brothers back?" ”
Jia Qi hesitated and said: "Back to my lord, my subordinates have not seen my lord's senior brothers, and there are no guests arriving today." ”
Taihao nodded and said, "I see, they should not have come back because it was late, but settled elsewhere. I'll go back to my room first, and if they come back, please arrange a place for them to stay. ”
Jia Qi replied: "Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates know." ”
After Tai Hao returned to the room, he put the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" under his pillow, and there was a sudden contradiction in his heart now, if he practiced "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" and then taught it to those soldiers, it would be somewhat disrespectful to these senior brothers, because these senior brothers are Shang Mang's apprentices, and he is just Shang Mang's nephew. It is reasonable that he should not become the inheritor of the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat", but now that the cheats of "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" are in his own hands, how to convince his brothers and sisters that he is only using it to fight against the Japanese is a problem that Taihao must consider now.
When I woke up the next morning, the housekeeper came to report that Chaozi and other heroes were already waiting in the front hall. Taihao hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the front hall to meet his senior brothers.
After Taihao and Chaozi and other senior brothers got together, they learned that they did not return to the city lord's mansion last night because they came too late, but rested for the night in an inn in the city.
Tai Hao asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”
Chaozi said: "I received a letter from the master a few days ago, so I hurried here, and the master asked us to cooperate with Taihao's junior brother to teach the soldiers to train the "Painting the Tiger by Cat" Mo knife technique. ”
Tai Hao said: "It seems that the fifth senior uncle is really like a god, I only went to Dongbai Mountain yesterday, but I didn't expect him to write to all the senior brothers a few days ago to inform him of the return." May I ask if the senior brother already knows that the senior uncle will ...... "Painting the Tiger by the Cat"
Before the words fell, Fu Yin rushed to speak: "Senior brother, we all know that "Painting the Tiger by Cats" should have been practiced by soldiers in the army, only in this way can they be invincible and invincible against those Japanese warriors. We have also truly experienced this when we fought with those Japanese samurai, although the sword technique of "Drawing a Tiger with Cats" can beat their Japanese swords, but they are numerous, and when they are gathered, we are at a disadvantage. Therefore, if Taihao's junior brother learns "Painting Tiger by Cat", we will not have other ideas, this is what Master meant, and the reason why we came back is also to let more soldiers practice the martial arts of "Painting Tiger by Cat". ”
Tai Hao pondered for a long time and said: "To be honest, I don't want to practice "Painting Tigers with Cats", and the fifth uncle also warned me that it is not a good thing to learn too much martial arts, so ...... I have to count on all the brothers and sisters to teach the soldiers to practice "Drawing Tigers with Cats", because even if I study seriously, I can't learn anything famous, so I don't have to make that effort, and it's better to learn from all the brothers and sisters. ”
Tai Hao's consideration of this point is correct, it is not his own business to fight against the Japanese Invaders, even if he has practiced "Painting the Tiger by Cat" to the point of perfection, it will only make the brothers and sisters jealous. What is needed to fight with the samurai of the Wa Kingdom is unity, not alone, and let all the brothers and sisters as the main force and themselves as the second, which can reflect their praise for the strength of the brothers and sisters.
Chaozi pondered for a moment and responded: "It's good that this way, you can start training from the soldiers in the army faster." Do you have any thoughts on teaching soldiers to practice "Drawing Tigers from Cats"? I wonder where we should start? ”
Tai Hao said: "I want to listen to the senior brothers first, what is the situation of the Japanese warriors in each city? ”
Chaozi said: "Okay, then let's report to Senior Brother Taihao how many Japanese warriors we have encountered in the city we have settled in during this time." I'll ...... first."
