This witch is a boy

Takashiko actually didn't know about this, and he didn't even know much about the history of Japan's Muromachi period. After all, when he was just in middle school, he was coaxed by the Saigu of Ise to become a shrine maiden in Jingu.

"Ghosts, goblins, go away, goblins, goblins, go away, goblins, goblins..."

He vaguely heard some familiar words, which made Ying Siguang a little surprised, maybe he came to the set of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".

An old woman in ragged clothes was hunched over, swaying a sakura branch in her hands and muttering non-stop. The voices of girls weeping and crying came from a room, which became more and more clear.

They were inside, Ying Siguang and Kikyo couldn't help but looked at each other and nodded, and when they were about to rush in to find out the reason, the old woman's branch hit him and Kikyo directly.

"It hurts, it hurts, hello, old man, what are you doing?"

Ying Siguang said painfully, if he hadn't seen that the other party was an old man, he might have the intention to beat someone.

"Kankyo, are you alright?"

Ying Siguang looked at Kikyo, who was also hit by a branch, and hurried forward to ask with concern, touching her wrist, wanting to inquire about her well-being.

"It's okay, I'm not in pain."

Kikyo shook her head and retracted her wrist, seeing a murderous aura coming towards her, she knew that someone might be unhappy again, although she was still a little moved by the other's concern.

"Ghosts, goblins, go away, goblins, goblins, go away, goblins, goblins..."

The old woman, with her pale white hair, continued to read these words as if in a daze, and kept waving the branches as if there were really ghosts and ghosts nearby.

"Kikyo, do you sense a monster nearby?"

Ying Siguang felt it for a while, and there was no evil spirit staying nearby, so he asked Kikyo, hoping that his witch's ability would not disappear because of his time travel.

"No, there are no monsters at all."

Kikyo looked around, not to mention the monster, not even a single hair of the monster.

"is it?"

Ying Siguang wondered, since there are no monsters, what is the old woman doing with the sakaki branch?

The sakaki tree is a special kind of wood, and cypress and peach wood are generally high-quality wood, and the high-quality refers to the superior spirituality.

Peach wood can exorcise evil spirits, cypress is used to make spiritual tablets, etc. The branches of the sakaki tree are often used to dance kagura dances, swaying clear water for soup ritual dances, although the shrine was abolished after the Meiji Restoration, other places still remain. Very popular, it is usually considered to be a sacred tree for exorcising evil spirits, and it is said that this tree also grows in Takamagahara.

"Demons and ghosts usually mean not real demons and ghosts, but people. People's hearts will turn into devils. This is the real horror."

Zhenxun opened the door and walked in, Ying Siguang followed behind her, Kikyo also bypassed the old man who kept waving branches at the gate, and followed in.

The weeping girls were crying in the thatched hut, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. When the man at the side saw someone open the door and came in, he hit Ying Siguang's head with a stick without saying a word.

"Be careful."

Kikyo said anxiously, but Zhenxun quickly drew out his sword and slashed at the waving wooden stick.

With a bang, the wooden stick was split in two, and one of the ends fell to the ground with a loud noise. The man wanted to continue moving but saw the shining katana on his neck.

"Are you guys all subordinates of that bandit ghost spider?"

The middle-aged man questioned loudly in a trembling voice, and some of them were scared. There were countless girls in the room, and they all hid in the dry grass in fear when they heard the man's words.

Bandit ghost spider's men, what is that?

There was a big question mark in Ying Siguang's head?Why did this guy fight when I came in?

"Xiaoguang, that's why I don't want you to come."

Zhen Xun took back his sword and said to him, and asked the man beside him, "Be honest, what happened here."

"If you want to kill them or cut them up, it's up to you, anyway, I won't let you take them away."

The middle-aged man spoke very stiffly, but refused to say a word.

"We are not the bandit ghost spider's subordinates, and we don't know the person you mentioned. We are just passing by. I just want to ask what happened here, why are so many girls crying here?"

Ying Siguang asked instead of Zhenxun. The middle-aged man who was originally held by Zhenxun with a sword around his neck showed a surprised and embarrassed expression when he heard Yingsiguang's words, "Aren't you the bandit ghost spider's subordinates?"

"No." Ying Siguang replied firmly. Compared with the murderous Zhenhiro, he was only seven or eight years old in gorgeous clothes, he was more harmless to humans and animals, and it was easier to gain the trust of the other party.

"We are actually just villagers in this village. The ghost spider is the leader of the bandits. Now he is wandering around in our village. He also asks us to hand over the girls and food in the village, otherwise we will kill the whole village. Male, and at the same time kill everyone in this village."

The man's explanation made Ying Siguang frown. He didn't expect the robber to be so arrogant. He said immediately, "Don't the officials care? Who is the guardian daimyo who rules here?"

The government office refers to the acting officials sent by the Japanese shogunate to rule the local area. It is generally divided into the guardian daimyo of the shogunate and the officials of the shogunate.

However, because the guarding daimyos are hereditary, the shogunate's control over the area is quite weak, but even so, the local daimyos will not ignore the bandit gangs that are rampant in their own territory.

"The government, the government, how can we care about the lives and lives of our common people? Besides collecting annual tribute, what good things will the government do?"

The middle-aged man's words left Ying Siguang speechless. As a modern man, he still feels that the contemporary government is cheating, and people living in ancient times feel that the government is cheating even more, which is even more reasonable.

"This is Izu, and Horikoshi's party is here, and this is also the territory of Kanto Kanto, and they don't care about it."

Hikaru Takashi was also puzzled. If there were such rampant bandits, they would have been wiped out by the Kanto Kamisugi long ago. After all, this is the Horikoshi government who stayed in Izu country.

"Would you say that the adults will uphold justice for small people like me?"

The middle-aged man burst into tears, and the girl's crying sound became even more intense. Ying Siguang was stunned, how could this happen.

If there is a problem, you can call the police, if there is a fire at home, you can call the fire alarm, and if your children go to school, you can go to the nearby public school. In Ying Siguang's view, this is a matter of course, but the middle-aged man's words made him speechless.

This is not the modern age, but the Warring States Period, when chaos was just beginning, wars were frequent, and human lives were insignificant, and it was also an era when order collapsed.

Although the Onin Rebellion is over now, the Civilization Rebellion is still going on. Even if Ying Siguang doesn't understand this period of history, he knows that this Middle Ages is a chaotic era.

"Xiaoguang, don't worry about them, we should go. You said it's better to go this way, so we will stay here. You don't want to visit Horikoshi, what are you doing in Izu?"

Zhenxun took Ying Siguang's hand to take him away from here, and Kikyo on the side also took his hand knowingly under Zhenxun's gaze, wanting him to leave here.

However, Hikari Takashi did not move at all, and Shinzo looked at Hikari who shook her hand away, and asked with a serious expression, "Hitsuka, this is not the time to be willful, didn't you agree to go to Kashima with me?" ?"

"I said it, but what are they going to do? Let them be snatched away by that gang of robbers called ghost spiders."

Ying Siguang said loudly that he couldn't just ignore death, if he left and no one from the government came, then they would be finished.

"This is not what you should be in charge of. Are you a general? No. Are you Mr. Horikoshi? No, you are not even a samurai. Are you going to deal with vicious robbers without the power of a chicken?"

There was even sarcasm in Zhenxun's sneer tone, Kikyo on the side also nodded in agreement, "What Zhenxun said is quite right."

"But it's wrong to just sit back and let the bandits do evil in front of me."

Ying Siguang clenched his fists and got a little angry, and at the same time he knew that what Shinzo said was right.

He is not a general, he is also Horikoshi, and he is not even an adult. He is not a samurai. He has to deal with a group of robbers. child.

But if you are not reconciled, really reconciled, are you really indifferent to the evil deeds in front of you and not going to save their suffering?

The girl in the room was not pretty, she could only be described as ordinary, wearing clothes sewn with pudding, compared with what he was wearing, it was too disparate, and what he was wearing was too eye-catching.

Because Yixiu often took him to the dignitaries for alms, and even lived in the general's palace for a long time, so when he saw the clothes worn by the villagers, he realized that this is a world where the gap between the rich and the poor is even greater than the modern world.

"I am a samurai and the son of a general, so I should take on the responsibilities of a samurai. Maybe we can find a way to deal with those bandits."

Ying Siguang said solemnly, a sense of mission spontaneously arose in his heart.

This is not compassion, nor his own kindness, but a sense of mission that urges him to do so.Farmers farm on the samurai's territory, and samurai have the obligation to protect the farmers to farm peacefully on the land. This is Minamoto Yoritomo's relationship between samurai and farmers, and also his political ideal.

"We can find Mr. Horikoshi, he is my uncle and should help."

Takashiko said that Horikoshi Fang Ashikaga Masachi is the son of the sixth general Ashikaga Yoshinaka, and also the elder brother of his cheap father Ashikaga Yoshinaka in this world.

The Kamakura government was completely wiped out by the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but at that time the Kamakura government had a young son, so he inherited the Kamakura government, but the Muromachi shogunate certainly did not recognize it, so the power was greatly reduced. When I ran to Furukawa, there was no way to order Kanto to become the "Guhe Furukawa".

The Horikoshi government was sent by the Muromachi shogunate to rule Kanto in the past. The Kamakura government is the son of Ashikaga Yoshinaka, the brother of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and is the uncle of Takashimitsu.

Because the site is in Horikoshi in Izu country, it is also called Horikoshi Gongfang.Of course, the most important reason is that Horikoshi and Furukawa fought each other. Everyone said that they were authentic Kamakura, but they couldn't beat their opponents to death.

In the end, the power of both sides was greatly reduced, and neither side could be called the Kamakura government. Of course, this was indeed a good thing for the shogunate. The Kamakura government in its heyday was like a small shogunate, and the Kamakura government belonged to the Eastern Kingdom. General, the Muromachi shogunate has no control at all, nor is it a subordinate department.

Now that the two officials in Kanto are fighting, they can no longer pose a threat to the shogunate.

"By the time Horikoshi's army arrives, all the women here will have been snatched away by robbers."

Kikyo's words made Takashiko's face turn ugly, and time was running out.

Chapter 151 The Way of the Sword in the World

"Master Miko, please save us and take us away."

The girl's crying and pleading were moving, but Mahiro dismissed them coldly, even Kikyo just couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head away.

Zhenxun and Kikyo, you two are too cold-blooded.

"Go, even if you go, where can you go? The fate of a woman is like the red leaves falling outside the window. When it is blown down, it can only fall with the wind and eventually turn into dust."

Mahiro's voice was cruel, so cruel that it made people feel a kind of cold chill in their hearts, and it penetrated into the bone marrow, making Ying Siguang feel terrible.

"Even if I leave here, what can I do? I don't have any land and I'm wandering around. Why don't I become a wandering girl?"

Kikyo's equally cold words crushed the girls' reality again.

Yes, even if they leave the village, what can they do, just like the rootless duckweed, the fallen leaves blown by the wind, they have no choice but to follow their own wishes.

"Mazoro, Kikyo, how can you two say such things, we can save them, and you who dare to fight with Shen Jiuye, how could you be afraid of those little bandits."

Ying Siguang couldn't figure it out, it was Mahiro and Tachibana

The two of them are too cruel and ruthless, or I am too naive to be incompatible with them. In short, in short, I can't just watch the gang of robbers named ghost spiders forcibly snatch them away.

"Shen Jiuye is naturally not afraid, but I said that human beings are more terrifying than monsters. Xiaoguang, let me ask you a question, have you ever killed anyone?"

Shinzo's words made Ying Siguang dumb and unable to answer, let alone killing people, even if it is a chicken, he has never killed a rabbit.

"At that time, do you really have the guts to deal with those robbers? This is going to kill people."

Zhenxun sneered, Kikyo nodded expressionlessly, "Xiaoguang, if you want to save someone, you must use the corresponding strength and courage, otherwise you will just die in vain."

"Both Kikyo and I have killed people before."

Zhenxun took the bow and arrow handed over by Kikyo and shot it through the thigh of a wild boar with astonishing precision.

"End its life, if you don't even have the courage to kill a pig, let alone kill someone."

Zhen Xun handed the sword to Ying Siguang, and the two legs of the soy sauced wild boar were being pierced by arrows, and fell to the ground unable to move, and there was even the power of thunder and lightning being scorched on it.

The wild boar neighed in pain, he never thought that Dao Mahiro would use his power on the wild boar.

"Kill it, if you think you can kill, then kill this pig and show me first. Do you think you have a way to deal with robbers without killing people?"

What Shinzo said was very blunt, Kikyo wanted to interject, but under Shinzo's stern gaze, he just moved his mouth and didn't speak.

"It's just killing a pig, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ying Siguang looked at the black pig who kept yelling, and took over Jianxin and slapped him hard. Although he felt that Mr. Pig was very pitiful, he really could only apologize.

Ying Siguang closed his eyes and poked hard, but didn't see any movement. He opened his eyes slightly but found that he poked in the wrong place and stuck on the stone on the ground, so he closed his eyes and poked again.

Accompanied by the screams of the wild boar, hot blood splashed on his face, Ying Siguang opened his eyes and smiled, only to see that the pig was still howling and rolling on the ground.

With a click, Zhenxun took Ying Siguang's sword and chopped off the wild boar's head, and said with admiration, "Very good, great, it seems that you should also know that instead of taking the other party's life, it is better to let It is cruelty to give him the greatest pain while he is alive."

"Ha!" He just couldn't bear to kill pigs, how did he become cruel in Zhenxun's mouth, hey, how did cruelty become a commendatory word in Zhenxun's mouth.

"Ninety-two: See (now) the dragon in the field, and see the adults."

Zhenxun looked at Takashiko who was in a daze and murmured the divination and prophecy given to her by the previous generation of Wuji priestesses when she left Kashima Shrine in the past. Looking over his head, he vaguely saw the miniature Yamata no Orochi hovering above his head. He kept sticking out his tongue, hiding in the clouds with a proud posture.

It seems that seeing Mahiro's spying, he got into the top of his head dissatisfied. This is the samurai luck of the Ashikaga family, at least the fate of the five kingdoms to protect the daimyo, and it seems to be growing.

What exactly happened, how did the Ashikaga family's martial arts come to Xiaoguang's head, if it wasn't for his elder brother, the current general Ashikaga Yoshinaka died, it would be impossible for him to inherit the Ashikaga family's martial arts.

Could it be that the current general is dead, and Xiaoguang is going to inherit the general's family, but with such a little luck, for the entire Ashikaga family, it is not the pattern of the head of the main family at all.

"I just want to use the sword to protect others, to protect the people I want to protect." Looking at the blood-stained sword, Takashiko said to Shinhiro like this.

"The sword is a murder weapon, and the way of the sword is also the art of killing enemies on the battlefield. If there is a real sword for living people, it will kill all enemies. If I decide according to my will, the world will be peaceful in this world. Protecting others means that you want to Killing, Xiaoguang, you can do it if you take responsibility."

Zhenxun wiped the blood on the sword with a clean cloth and said: "With the heart of governing the country and the world, stepping on the battlefield with this sense of mission, and finally rectifying the world, this is the real swordsmanship of the world, the swordsmanship of the man who ruled thunder , Kashima Tachi."

"Is it Kashima Tachi, the way of the sword with the heart of ruling the country and the world?" Takashiko muttered to himself, vaguely understanding what Mahiro was trying to teach him.

………………

"When the sky sends out murderous intentions, the stars change places; when the earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise to the ground; when people send murderous intentions, the sky and the earth change. This world is really over, and the three talents of heaven, earth, and human are all messed up."

Onmyoji Tsujimon Hisamitsu looked at the astrological map copied last night with some depression, and as soon as he handed it over, he saw the person facing him frowning, "Shangliu, compared to being headless, it is fierce. It seems that Yi Shanggong's situation It's not good."

The man in white robes threw the boiled tortoise shell on the ground, and the ominous hexagram made him want to do the divination again.

The upper sixth yin and softness has reached the extreme of divination, the position of "superior and no position", divination for the general means lack of fortitude, lack of ability to be a general, and unable to win the support of the shogunate officials, the result is quite dangerous.
