Chapter 91 Chapter 01 Samantabhadra

Kiso Road is covered with snow. Snow covered the entire Mount Komagatake, and the ridge line was like a machete, extending from the sunken top to the foot of the mountain.The sun reflects light on the white snow, the trees on the mountain have sprouted reddish buds, and the remaining snow has begun to melt, leaving the exposed ground looking speckled. The snow has melted, and the light green ridges are exposed in the fields.When spring comes, everything is thriving, and green grass is everywhere. Jotaro's physique is getting stronger day by day, his body grows as fast as his hair, and it can be seen that he has grown up.When he was a little sensible, he set foot in the rivers and lakes and drifted with the tide.In particular, he was raised by a wanderer, which made him experience a life of ups and downs before he was mature.Therefore, he is relatively mature and sophisticated in personality, and these are all caused by the environment, which is understandable.However, recently he has gradually grown up, but he still doesn't know how to restrain his self-willed rebellion, which often makes A-Tong dumbfounded.

"Why do I always have nothing to do with him?" Atong often shook his head and sighed at him, sometimes they even glared at each other. No matter how Atong blames Cheng Taro, it is useless, because Cheng Taro knows her too well.He knew that A Tong was angry on the surface, but in fact he loved him very much in his heart. And this season in front of him has whetted his appetite, and he has always been willful, no matter where he goes, as long as he sees food, he will move his index finger. "Hey! Hey! Sister Atong, buy that for me!" They came to Suhara no Sudoku.Kanpei Imai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Shogun Kiso, built a fort here in the past, and it has become a historic site, so there are vendors selling "Kanepei pancakes".A-Tong couldn't hold him back, so he had to say, "Just buy this, don't buy it as an example."

But Jotaro ate everything within half a mile, and he looked hungry again. After getting up this morning, the two had an early lunch in the teahouse of the inn, so Jotaro was already hungry at this moment.After climbing a mountain and coming to Kamatsu, Jotaro started thinking again. "Sister Atong, someone is selling dried persimmons, do you want to eat them?" Atong rode on the back of the bull and turned a deaf ear to it, so Jotaro could only watch the persimmon dry.Not long after, I came to the bustling place in Kiso, that is, the streets of Shinano Fukushima, and it was the time when I was hungry.

Jotaro couldn't hold back anymore. "Let's rest there!" "Okay, please!" Jotaro stalked and began to play tricks, and refused to move forward no matter what. "Hey! Hey! Eat some mochi! Don't you like it?" In the end, I couldn't figure out whether I was begging A Tong or coercing her.Anyway, Jotaro was pulling the reins of the bull, while Atong was riding on the bull's back. Jotaro stopped in front of the mochi shop, and Atong couldn't do anything about him. "Calm down a little bit, okay?" Atong finally couldn't help being angry.Jotaro refused to leave, and even the cow joined him, sniffing the ground for food.Atong sat on the back of the bull and stared at Jotaro.

"Okay, if you play tricks again, I will tell Musashi who is walking in front!" Atong pretended to jump off the bull's back, but Jotaro kept smiling and had no intention of stopping her. Jotaro played tricks on purpose: "I don't believe..." Because Jotaro is sure that Atong will never report to Musashi. Since A Tong got off the back of the bull, he had no choice but to walk into the mochi shop. "Okay! Then eat faster!" Jotaro put on airs. "Boss, buy two boxes." After Jotaro spoke loudly, he went outside and tied the cow under the eaves.

"I will not eat." "why?" "If you keep eating all the time, you will get dementia." "Okay! Then give me the portion of Sister Atong!" "Oh! I really can't do anything about you." Jotaro only cared about eating, and couldn't listen to the words at all. As soon as Jotaro squatted down, the wooden sword would touch his ribs, preventing him from enjoying the food.So he pulled the wooden sword behind his back, and began to eat in big mouthfuls, keeping his eyes on the passers-by. "Hurry up and stop eating while playing."

"strangeness?" Jotaro stuffed the last piece of mochi into his mouth.He suddenly ran to the main road, covering the sun with his hands, as if he was looking for someone. "Have you eaten enough?" Atong paid the money and followed, but was pushed back by Jotaro. "Wait a moment!" "What trick are you playing again?" "Just now I saw Matachi go over there." "Liar." Atong didn't believe it. "It's impossible for another eight to appear here." "But I clearly saw him go there. He's still wearing a bamboo hat, Sister Atong, didn't you notice that he was staring at us just now!"

"real?" "If you don't believe me, I'll call him." How can this work?When Ah Tongguang heard Youba's name, his face turned pale with fright, like a patient. "No, no, if Matachi wants to bully us, we'll call Musashi who is walking ahead to deal with him." But if you keep hiding here because you are afraid of meeting Matachi, you will get farther and farther away from Musashi in front of you. Atong had no choice but to ride on the back of the bull again.She had just recovered from a serious illness, and she was stimulated by this again, and the throbbing in her heart could not be calmed down for a while.

"Sister Atong, there is one thing that I find very strange." Jotaro walked in front of the cow, suddenly turned around and asked A Tong. "I think that before we arrived at the waterfall in Magong Mountain, Master and Sister Atong talked and laughed along the way, and the three of us got along very well. But why haven't you spoken much since then?" Atong didn't answer. "Why? Sister Atong, you were so far away from Master when you were on the road, and you didn't sleep in the same room at night... Did you have a fight?" Jotaro was talking too much again.

I thought he could breathe a sigh of relief when he no longer asked for food, but now he is nagging again and again.It doesn't matter, he also broke the casserole to discuss the relationship between Atong and Musashi. "What do children know?" A-Tong was sad and didn't want to answer. Atong rode the ox on the road, and recovered a lot of physical strength, but her heart disease was not cured yet. At the shoal under the female waterfall and male waterfall at the foot of Magong Mountain, Atong's crying and Musashi's roar were like the sound of rushing water hitting the hearts of both parties, and it became a misunderstanding between the two for generations. Unresolved, deep resentments that will never go away.

The scene at that time was still vividly reflected in Atong's mind. "Why am I like that?" When Musashi expressed his strong emotions and desires to himself, he tried his best to reject him. Why is that?Why? Apart from deeply regretting, Atong was puzzled why he rejected Musashi's courtship?Been thinking about it all day. Do men show love to women in a tough way? Atong was both sad and troubled.The holy spring of love that has been hidden deep in her heart for many years, after passing by the female waterfall and the male waterfall on the journey, also rushes wildly like a waterfall, disturbing her heart lake. In addition, there is another matter that makes Ah Tong even more conflicted.Although he escaped from Musashi's intimate embrace, now he followed behind, fearing that he would not see Musashi, so it was contradictory. Because of this incident, the two of them stopped talking and did not walk together. Although Musashi walked ahead, he deliberately slowed down to match the speed of the bull.At that time they agreed to go to Edo together, and Musashi would not break his promise.Sometimes Jotaro stopped on the way, and Musashi was sure to wait for them. After passing through the busy area of ​​Fukushima, they came to Xingzenji Temple.Turn a corner, climb up the hillside, and see a checkpoint in the distance.The pass issued to them by the Karasuma family worked very well, and Guan Bing immediately allowed them to pass.There were many people sitting in the teahouses on both sides of the road, watching them walk by. "Puxian? Sister Atong, what is Puxian?" Jotaro asked Atong. "There was a monk-like traveler in the teahouse just now, pointing at you and saying—that woman looks like Pu Xian riding a horse..." "It probably refers to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!" "So it refers to Puxian Bodhisattva! So, I am Manjusri! Because Puxian and Manjusri are inseparable!" "You are the gluttonous Manjushri Bodhisattva!" "Then you are the crybaby Puxian Bodhisattva, we are a perfect match!" "You're here again." Atong blushed, not very happy. "Why are Manjusri and Samantabhadra always inseparable? They are not lovers." Jotaro asked another strange question. Atong grew up in a temple, so of course he knew the details, but he was afraid that if he said too much, Jotaro would ask endless questions, so he simply said: "Manjusri represents wisdom, and Samantabhadra represents wish fulfillment." As soon as the words were finished, a man followed behind the cow like a fly, and the man shouted to stop them. "Hey!" He is Motota Matahachi whom Jotaro saw in Fukushima. You Ba wanted to intercept them here. This man is despicable. As soon as Ah Tong saw You Ba, hatred welled up in his heart and he couldn't restrain it. "..." Seeing Ah Tong again on August 1, love and hate intertwined in his heart, and his blood boiled.Lust is evident on his face, almost frenzied.In addition, I followed Atong and Musashi all the way from Kyoto, watching them go out in pairs.Although later they ignored each other and did not walk side by side, Youba speculated that they must be afraid of attracting attention in broad daylight.At night, the lonely men and widows are alone in a room, and the fire must be too much to deal with. Youba's wild thoughts deepened the resentment in his heart. "Come down!" Youba ordered Atong on the back of the ox. Atong didn't want to answer.In her mind the man was dead.A few years ago, Youba told him to find someone else to marry, which ruined their vow.Moreover, a few days ago, Ba was chasing and killing himself with a knife on Mount Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.Youba is already a hideous person. "So far, what else is there to talk about?" Atong thought.He did not hide the hatred and contempt in his heart. "Hey, won't you come down?" And Eight growled again. Youba is exactly the same as her mother, Ashanpo, and she remains as domineering and domineering as she used to be in the village.Now he speaks to Atong, who has broken off the engagement, in a commanding tone, which makes Atong even more angry. "What's the matter, if it's okay, I don't want to come down." "what?" Youba walked up to A-Tong, reached out and pulled her sleeve. "Come down for me anyway. You're fine, but I'm fine." Youba ignored the passers-by and shouted threats. Jotaro didn't make a sound at first, just watched the situation quietly, at this moment, he dropped the ox rope in his hand, and said: "If she can't say it, don't force her!" Jotaro's voice was louder than Matahachi.If it was just talking, it would have been fine, but I didn't expect Jotaro to push him again and again, making the matter unmanageable. "Huh? You little brat." Yatachi was pushed by Jotaro and staggered.He put on the straw sandals again, and said to Jotaro with a straight chest: "Oh! I thought you looked familiar, so you are the boy from Kitano Tavern!" "Thank you for your praise. You were often scolded by A Jia from the wormwood house." These words exposed Youba's scars, and it was in front of Ah Tong. "You brat." Yatachi was about to make a move, but Jotaro immediately hid behind the cow. "If you say I'm booger, then you're booger!" Youba chased after Shirotaro angrily, but Shirotaro used the cow as a shield, shuttled back and forth under the belly of the cow, dodged Youba, and was finally caught by Yataro. "Dare you say it again." "Of course I would." Before Jotaro could fully draw out his wooden sword, he was thrown under a tree by the street like he was catching a cat. Jotaro fell into the gutter next to the tree like a drowned rat, and managed to get back to the road. "what?" Jotaro searched around, and finally saw the cow carrying Ah Tong away with its heavy body shaking. He saw Youba holding the ox rope and whipping the ox's back continuously, sending up a cloud of dust as he ran. "Hmph! Beast!" Seeing this, Jotaro was so anxious that his hands and feet panicked. He only thought that he was responsible, but he forgot to ask others for help. Let's talk about Musashi. The white cloud floated in the windless sky, and the naked eye could not tell whether it was moving or not. Komagatake, towering into the sky, is silently looking down at the travelers resting on the hillside. "Strange, what have I been thinking about?" Musashi woke up from his contemplation and looked around. Although his eyes are looking at the mountain peak, his heart is entangled with the figure of Atong. Musashi himself could not untie this knot. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.Especially pure girls are even more elusive. Musashi thought hard and was very angry.Would it be wrong to be honest with her about your feelings?Wasn't she the one who aroused the fire in my heart?He just expressed his enthusiasm for her without reservation.She actually pushed away the rejection forcefully, and even avoided it as if she hated herself. Musashi was ashamed and humiliated, and he felt ashamed.Tasting the man's depression, I was determined to let these troubles go to wash away the dirt in my heart, but this confusion grew day by day.Sometimes Musashi mocks himself: "Why not throw the woman off and move on?!" Musashi also spurred himself, but it was all superficial excuses! One night, he swears to Atong that as long as she gets to Edo, she can choose the path she likes to take, and Musashi will also pursue her own aspirations—that's why they left Kyoto.Musashi has the responsibility to keep his promise, how can he abandon Atong halfway? "If two people go on like this, how will I practice sword?" Musashi looked up at the mountain, bit his lip and waited.Looking at the majestic mountain made him even more insignificant, even facing Komayake made him sad. "Still not here?" Musashi waited impatiently, and finally stood up. Because Atong and Jotaro should catch up at this time! It was agreed that we would spend the night in Yabuhara tonight, but there was still some way to go to the hotel in Miyakoshi, and it was getting dark. Musashi looked back at the mountain road one kilometer away from the hill, but there was no one at all. "Strange? Did they get delayed at the checkpoint?" Originally, Musashi was hesitant to take care of them, but now that he couldn't see them, his heart was in a mess, and he couldn't take a step forward. Musashi then ran back along the same road.Some wild horses in the field were frightened and ran around. "Hey! Warrior, are you the companion of the woman riding the bull?" As soon as Musashi ran back to the street, a passer-by asked him. "Huh? Did something happen to that woman?" Before the other party finished speaking, Musashi realized that something was wrong.
