Chapter 136 Chapter 13 Yaegaki Momiji

The mountains are shrouded in thick clouds and mists. The waning moon hangs high over the valley. Dayue was still in a deep sleep. In the valley of Xiaozaruze, there was the sound of gurgling water. There is a Tanigawa bridge on the water, and many black figures gather on the bridge. "Fuji!" Someone called softly, it was Mei Xuan's voice. Fujiji also answered in a low voice from the crowd. "Don't get the matchlock wet." Mei Xuan called everyone to pay attention. Two mountain monks wearing cassocks also mixed with the killing crowd with guns.Others include local warriors and hooligans from all over the world. They are dressed in various costumes, but they are all very agile.

"Only these people?" "yes." "How many people in total?" Everyone nods to each other.Anyone who points, plus himself is thirteen people. "it is good……" Mei Xuan said, and told everyone how to make gestures, and everyone nodded silently. Before the order was issued, everyone walked along the road of Gu Chuan Bridge and disappeared into the clouds and mist on both sides of the road. Beside the cliff at the head of the Guchuan bridge, there is a stone tablet, and the words on it can be distinguished by moonlight.Other than that, there is only the sound of the stream and the wind.

After everyone dispersed, there were some clamoring sounds from the treetops. From here to the monastery on the back mountain, there are many groups of monkeys. The monkeys threw stones from the cliff, and some jumped onto the road by grabbing vines. Some monkeys ran to the bridge, or got under the bridge, and galloped in the valley. The lingering clouds and mist play with the monkeys as if chasing these monkey shadows.If a god comes, it may say: "You apes have life, why are you wasting your time playing with the clouds in this narrow valley? Hurry up and ride on the clouds that are about to drift away! Fly three thousand miles to the west, lie down to see Mount Lu, appreciate Emei, and then go to the Yangtze River Only by washing your feet and breathing the air of this big world can you understand the true meaning of life. Do you want to go with me?" If the gods call out from the sky, the clouds may turn into monkeys, and the monkeys will also turn into clouds and mist. The fairy ascended to heaven and left.

The constant play of the monkeys creates this fantasy.The waning moon reflected the shadow of the monkey on the clouds, giving people the illusion that they were two monkeys. "Wow! Wow!" Suddenly there was a dog barking. The sharp barking of dogs echoed in the valley. Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, those apes disappeared without a trace in an instant.At this moment, following the sound of hurried footsteps, Mei Xuan's black dog guarding the treasure bit the rope and rushed over. "Ahei! You bastard!" Ah Jia chased after him. The dog knew that Mei Xuan and the others were heading towards Dayue, so he bit the rope and chased after them.

Ah Jia finally caught the dog leash.As soon as the black dog was pulled, it wrapped around A Jia's body. "brute!" Ajia doesn't like dogs, so she beats them back with a rope.and cried: "go back!" She wanted to pull the dog back, but the black dog grinned again. "Wow! Wow!" Start growling. Although he grabbed the rope, Ah Jia's strength could not drag it.The black dog was pulled by someone, and kept howling like a wolf. "Why bring this guy here, wouldn't it be enough to tie it to the dog house in the warehouse?" Ajia was very angry.

If the dog kept barking like this, if Musashi left Kannon-in Temple early, he would be surprised to hear the dog barking. "Hush! I really can't do anything about you." A Jia tugged at the black dog's rope. The black dog still kept barking. "I can't help it. Come here! Go to the monastery in the back mountain, and stop shouting!" Ajia had no choice but to drag the dog along.No, it should be said that he was being dragged by a dog - panting and walking on the road that the group of people just walked by. After that, the barking of the black dog was no longer heard.It happily chased after the master's smell.

The cloud, which had been moving all night, now lay like a thick snow in the valley.The peaks of Wujia, as well as Miaofa, Shiraishi, Yuntori and other mountains, also began to show their faces.The path leading to the monastery on the back mountain also gradually turns white in the dawn.Chirp, chirp, chirp... The chirping of the birds kept coming to my ears. "Master! What happened?" "What's up?" "It's already dawn, why can't we see the sun?" "You got the wrong direction, you are looking at the west!" "Ah! Really?" Iori didn't see the sun, but saw the moon.In the morning light, the pale moon is about to sink.

"Iori!" "exist." "You have many relatives living on this mountain!" "Where?" "It's right there." Musashi pointed to the trees in the valley. There were many monkeys on the trees, and there were also many female monkeys with their young. "That's them, hahaha..." "What!... But, master, monkeys are so enviable..." "why?" "Because they have parents." "..." At the end of the road, Musashi silently climbed up the small mountain road.After walking a section of the mountain road, we came to a relatively flat road.

"Master, the purse I entrusted to you before—that is, my father's belongings. Master, do you still have it with you?" "I can't lose it." "Have you opened it?" "No." "Besides the amulet, there is also a letter inside, show it to me next time." "Ok!" "I didn't know the words on the letter when I brought it with me before, but maybe I can now." "Find some time and open it yourself!" It was gradually getting brighter. Musashi kept an eye out for the weeds on the road as he walked.He found that the road had been trodden down, for the dew on the weeds had been trampled and soiled.

The mountain road continued to wind, and finally the two came to a flat land facing east. Iori suddenly called out: "Ah! Sunrise." He pointed to the sun and looked back at Musashi. "Ok!" Musashi's face was flushed red by the morning sun. The sea of ​​clouds stretches as far as the eye can see.The Bando Plain and the peaks of Koshu and Joshu are all floating in the raging waves of the clouds, just like the fairy island of Horai, the scenery is charming. "..." Iori pursed her lips tightly and stared at the sun with a straight posture. The sight of the sunrise was so moving that the teenager was speechless.

He felt that the blood in his body and the red sunlight had merged into one. So he sees himself as: Son of the Sun! However, his touch is not the same as the spiritual level in the adult world. He just watched all these scenes silently and in a trance. Then suddenly he exclaimed: "God Amaterasu!" He looked back at Musashi. "Master! Is this right?" "right." Iori raised his hands, covering his eyes.Looking at the sun through the fingers, he cried again: "The color of the sun is the same color as my blood!" Iori clapped his hands happily.After that, he knelt on the ground and worshiped the sun, feeling something in his heart. —Monkeys have parents. —I didn’t. ——Monkeys don’t have great masters. —I have. When he thought of this, his heart was filled with joy, and tears welled up in his eyes. Although there were tears in his eyes, he began to dance, and he seemed to hear the sound of Kagura from last night in the clouds. "—la, la, la—boom, boom, boom—" He picked up a bamboo leaf, held it in his hand and started dancing. He tapped his feet, waved his hands, and sang the song he heard last night. Iori came back to his senses after singing. Seeing that Musashi had gone far away, he quickly chased after him. The road enters a forest again.It should be almost to the temple, because the trees on both sides are arranged in an orderly manner. The big tree is covered with a thick layer of moss.White flowers bloom on the moss.These trees are about five hundred to one thousand years old.Iori wanted to salute the trees.The road is covered with bamboo leaves, and the fiery red maple leaves are more eye-catching.Now the woods are still quite dark, and looking up at the treetops, I can only see a little morning light. —Suddenly, the two felt the ground shake.In an instant, whoosh——there was a violent sound. "what!" Yizhi hurriedly covered her ears and lay down in the bamboo bushes.From behind a tree, a thin puff of white smoke rose, and from there came a scream—like the cry of a dying animal. "Iori! Don't stand up." Musashi had ducked behind a tree trunk and warned Iori in the bamboo bushes. "Even if you're stepped on, don't get up." "..." Iori was too scared to speak. The smoke from the burning ammunition floated up from behind Iori like a mist—there were knives and guns lying in wait in the surrounding trees and the woods on both sides of the road. "...?" The people in ambush in the woods were wondering why they couldn't see Musashi in the blink of an eye.They wanted to confirm whether the blow just now hit, so they didn't swarm up, but just waited and watched. The scream just now should have come from Musashi after he was hit.But no one saw Musashi falling to the ground, so everyone didn't dare to act rashly. As soon as the gunshots sounded, Yizhi was like a little bear, with his head hidden in the bamboo bushes, only his butt exposed.So who can't see it?As a result, eyes from all directions focused on Yizhi, and knives and guns were aimed at him. "..." You can't get up-someone seemed to say that to him just now.But now he was scared out of his wits, and after hearing the "bang!", the surroundings became so dead that he raised his head curiously.He saw a man behind a huge tree holding a big knife like a giant snake. Iori yelled in horror: "Master—someone is hiding there!" After calling, he jumped up immediately, and was about to run away. "You brat!" The man with the big knife had already rushed over from behind the giant tree, and slashed towards Yizhi like a devil. Phew - a small knife flew over from the side.It turned out to be the knife that Musashi shot to save Iori. "Hmph! Beast!" A monk stabbed over with a long spear.Musashi grabbed the opponent's long spear with his left hand, and threw out the knife with his right hand just now. Although he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he was ready to give it a go. Musashi didn't know how many people were hiding behind the tree, so he didn't dare to act rashly. At this time, there was a scream. "Wow!" Someone was hit in the cheek with a stone and groaned. It seems that there is internal fighting among the enemy, and it is people who have nothing to do with Musashi. "strangeness?" Musashi turned to the place where he screamed just now.Another monk took advantage of this gap to attack Musashi. "Oh!" Musashi quickly clamped the enemy's long spear under his arm.Now, the two monks who were attacking Musashi with spears each shouted to their own troops: "Go!" "What are you doing?" Musashi's voice was louder than both of them: "Who is coming? Report your name—if you don't report your name, I will treat you as enemies, and the end may be blood-stained in the Holy Land." Musashi held the two long spears tightly, swung them vigorously, and the two monks were thrown out.Musashi jumped up and hacked one person to death, then turned over to meet the three people attacking from behind with knives. The road is very narrow. Musashi pushed the three of them to the side of the road. There are three enemies with knives in the front, and there are two flanking enemies on the side.The opponent was tied, and was pushed back by Musashi. Musashi was very worried when he couldn't see Iori, he didn't want to fight at all, he could only defend. "Iori!" He tried calling.Suddenly, I saw a person being chased and running around in the forest, it was Iori.It turned out that the monk who escaped from the Musashi sword just now picked up the spear and went to chase Iori. "Iori! Here I come." Musashi wants to save Iori. "Don't let him go!" The five people in front of them immediately counterattacked Musashi with their swords. Like a whirlwind, Musashi stepped forward to meet Bai Ren.In an instant, it was like splashing water foam after the surging sea water collided with the rocks, and the blood foam continued to spurt out.Musashi lowered his back like a whirlpool. The two sides fought violently, with blood spattering everywhere.The flesh and blood burst open, the bones broke, and there were two or three screams.The enemies fell to the left and right one by one like rotten wood.Each slain was cut in half from head to toe - Musashi held a broadsword in his right hand and a small knife in his left. "--Wow!" Two people ran away in fright.Musashi followed closely. "Where are you going?" He slashed one of them in the back of the head with his left knife. Phew——Blood spurted to the eyes, and Musashi blocked them with his left hand.At this moment, with the strange metallic sound behind Musashi, a strong wind hit him in the face. what!He naturally resisted with his right saber, but the saber was caught by a fentong. Oops! Musashi screamed inwardly.After taking a closer look, it turned out that the blade of his sword had been entangled by a thin chain. "Musashi!" Hu Meixuan held a sickle in his hand, and a copper chain wrapped around Musashi's blade.He tugged at the chain. "Did you forget me?" "Oh?" Musashi was taken aback: "You are Mei Xuan from Suzuka Mountain." "Feng Dian Ma's younger brother." "Ah! Why are you here?" "You came to this mountain to throw yourself into a net. This is your life. My dead brother Dianma is calling you in hell! You go!" The copper chain was tightly wrapped around Musashi's sword. Mei Xuan slowly pulled the chain in his hand closer.Next he was going to attack Musashi with a sharp sickle. Musashi can still deal with the sickle with the knife in his left hand.If he had only the broadsword in his right hand, he would be defenseless now. "!" Mei Xuan mustered all his strength, making his neck as thick as his face, and his whole body made strange noises.Then, he tightened the chain to pull Musashi's sword and Musashi towards himself. At the same time, Mei Xuan's body also rushed forward along with the chain. Musashi thought to himself, is it possible that today he is really going to die at the hands of the opponent? He is not ignorant of the strange weapon of the chain. Musashi once witnessed Tomeken's wife holding a chain sickle and posing in Toyaegakiru's posture at the blacksmith shop in Anno. At that time, Musashi was engrossed—— what!awesome! Even his wife can have this kind of kung fu, one can imagine how powerful Mei Xuan's kung fu is. At the same time, Musashi also knew that he rarely encountered such weapons. Few people can use it, so he is a little afraid of such strange weapons. Although I already have the knowledge of the chain sickle.But knowledge is useless in a pinch.When Musashi realized this truth, his whole body was already controlled by chains. Besides, he couldn't deal with Mei Xuan with all his strength, because he was facing enemies from both sides. Mei Xuan was very proud, showing a ferocious smile, and began to tighten the chain.Musashi knew that he had to give up the entangled sword, but he still had to find a suitable opportunity. Mei Xuan yelled a second time: drink!At the same time, the sickle in his left hand flew towards Musashi. Musashi shook off the sword in his right hand, and the sickle sliced ​​right across his head.As soon as the sickle passed, Fentong flew over immediately; Musashi dodged Fentong, and the sickle attacked again. Is it a scythe?Or copper? It is very difficult to dodge the alternate attacks of these two weapons.Because the speed of the sickle and the copper are matched seamlessly. Musashi kept moving and dodging.The speed is too fast to blink.But he still has to beware of the enemy behind him—— Am I going to lose today? Musashi's limbs became stiff.This is the body's natural response.His skin and muscles barely sweated, and he instinctively went into battle mode.He felt the hairs all over his body stand up, and his blood flowed backwards. The best way to deal with scythe and cent copper attacks is to use the trunk as a shield.But Musashi had no time to retreat behind the tree.What's more, there are enemies behind the tree. At this time, there was another scream from nowhere. "Huh? Iori?" Musashi couldn't look back, but he was very worried about Iori.His eyes still shone with sickles and cents. "Fool!" This is not Mei Xuan's cry.Certainly not Musashi.Someone shouted from behind Musashi: "Musashi! Concentrate on dealing with the enemy! I will handle the rest." The same voice cursed again: "Bastard! Beast!" Someone fell to the ground with a scream from behind; someone fled by stepping on bamboo leaves.Those who helped Musashi from the beginning have now broken through the siege and are gradually leaning towards Musashi. who? Musashi couldn't figure it out, he didn't expect to have his own people behind him, but he didn't have time to confirm it. Musashi just knew not to worry about his back. He can concentrate on dealing with Mei Xuan now. However, he only had a small knife left in his hand, and the big knife was taken away by Mei Xuan's chain just now. As soon as Musashi approached the opponent, Mei Xuan would definitely back away immediately. The most important thing for Mei Xuan is to keep a distance from the enemy, because the length of the chain between the sickle and the copper is the length of his weapon.However, Musashi can not be controlled by the enemy as long as he is one foot away from the weapon or close to it. Mei Xuan did not let Musashi succeed. Musashi admired Mei Xuan's martial arts.Now it was like facing a city that could not be breached repeatedly, Musashi felt very tired.Even so, during the fight, Musashi had seen through Mei Xuan's technique, which was quite close to the theory of the Two Swords Technique. There is only one chain, if the sickle is the right sword, the copper is the left sword.Mei Xuan has already used this weapon with ease. "I see. You are using the Yaegaki style." There was victory in Musashi's voice.Facing the flying Fen Tong, he jumped back five feet away, and switched the knife in his left hand to his right, and shot at the enemy. It happened that Mei Xuan also chased after Musashi.He didn't expect Musashi's knife to fly towards him, and he had no weapons to resist. With a natural "Ah!", Mei Xuan flashed, and the knife flew past him and stuck into a tree trunk.However, because Mei Xuan suddenly changed the angle of his body, the chains of copper points entangled his body all of a sudden. "what!" Mei Xuan screamed.At the same time, Musashi also shouted: "drink!" His whole body was like an iron ball, rolling towards Mei Xuan. Mei Xuan was about to hold the saber on his body, but Musashi beat his hand hard first, forcing Mei Xuan's hand to leave the handle of the saber.Musashi then took the opportunity to snatch Mei Xuan's sword. --Really sorry! Musashi muttered silently, grabbed Mei Xuan's broadsword and cut him in half from head to toe. The blade cut deeply, about seven or eight inches away from the gauntlet, and made a thunderous sound like felling wood.When the blade cut down from the head, it did not know how many ribs were severed. "what!" Someone stood behind Musashi, watching the battle with bated breath, and finally let out a sound of admiration. "It's like cutting bamboo - the first time I've seen it." "...?" Musashi looked back and saw a young countryman carrying a four-foot wooden staff.His shoulders were thick, his face was round, and the sweat that evaporated from his body turned to steam, and he was grinning at Musashi. "what?" "It's me, long time no see." "Aren't you Kiso's Dream Gonnosuke?" "Are you surprised?" "It's really surprising." "I think this is the blessing of the gods of Sanfeng, or it may be that the deceased mother brought me here with a wooden stick in the dark!" "So, Lingtang her?" "Passed away." Dream Gonnosuke looked sad. "That's right! Where's Iori?" Musashi started looking for Iori, and Konnosuke said: "Don't worry, I've rescued him from the siege and put him on top." After speaking, point to the top. Iori looked at the two of them with strange eyes from the tree.At this moment, woof, woof dogs barked in the woods. "what?" Iori looked in the direction of the dog barking. Iori covered his eyes with his hands and looked for the dog in the tree.He saw farther away, where the cedar forest ended and joined the valley, there was a flat field, and there was a black dog there. The black dog was tied to the tree trunk. It bit the sleeve of a woman next to it in its mouth. The woman tried desperately to escape, but the black dog clung to it. In the end, the woman's sleeve was torn off, and she ran out of the grassland scrambling. Among Mei Xuan's accomplices, the monk who was chasing Yizhi just now was walking in front of the woman with a gun as a crutch.The woman chased the monk and fled down the mountain. —Wow, woof, woof. That black dog may have smelled blood, and it was so mad.The barking of dogs echoed constantly in the valley. Finally the bulldog snapped the rope and ran in the direction the woman was fleeing.The lame monk on the way thought the dog was going to bite him, so he stabbed the dog with a long spear. The spear stabbed the black dog in the face. - Wang! The dog, with its tail between its legs, hid in the nearby fir forest, and never heard the bark or saw the dog again. "Master!" Iori reported from the tree. "The woman ran away." "Come down, Iori!" "Another injured monk fled in the direction of the cedar forest. Do you want to chase him?" "No more." Iori got down from the tree.At this time, Musashi had learned the whole story from Yumeng Quanzhisuke. "Just now he said that a woman ran away, so it must be Ah Jia." When Quan Zhisuke was sleeping in Ajia's teahouse last night, he might have been blessed by God and overheard all their plans. Musashi thanked him deeply. "So you were the one who killed the shooter in the first place?" "It's not me. It's the stick." Quan Zhisuke was joking, and he laughed too. "They want to murder you. I observed them secretly and saw someone holding a gun, so I went here to ambush before dawn, and killed the person holding the gun from behind with a wooden stick." Later, Musashi and Quannosuke inspected the corpses on the ground, and found that seven people were beaten to death with wooden sticks, and five people were hacked to death by Musashi.More people were hacked to death with wooden sticks. "Although this matter is not our fault, this is a holy place after all. I think I should report to the village head of the gods. I have many things to ask you, and I want to tell you about mine; when I finish reporting to the village head Afterwards, I will return to Guanyin Temple to meet you." However-- Before they returned to the Guanyin Temple, they found that the staff of the village head of Shenling was stationed beside the Guchuan Bridge.Musashi went up alone to report the matter to them.The officials were shocked when they heard this, and immediately ordered their subordinates: "Tie him up with a rope!" "rope?" Musashi did not expect this to happen.He came to report himself, but he was guilty. He felt very incredible. "Walk!" Musashi became a prisoner, although it was too late to get angry.He was already amazed to see the equipment of these officials, and he was even more puzzled when he saw so many policemen stationed by the roadside. When we came to the street in front of the temple, there were about a hundred people surrounding Musashi, and they were heavily guarded.
