"God said that the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast... Those who obey the gods will ascend to the red kingdom of God and enjoy peace and beauty forever. Those who disobey the gods will sink into the endless abyss and turn into solid gold and stone, and their souls will never be freed!
...You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli, who has infinite power, from the past to the future, and controls all existence until the end!..."
"The king's order, the land award for military merit promotion: Descendants of warriors, trained militiamen, tribal bannermen, and strong serfs, as long as they pass the test and selection, can join the kingdom's legion and become young warriors. On the battlefield, young warriors capture and kill the enemy.
One person, promoted to the first level of warrior. Capture and kill two enemy soldiers again, promoted to the second level warrior, granted 20 acres of land, 1 serf. Capture and kill five more, promoted to the third level, granted 100 acres of land, 5 serfs. Capture again
After killing twelve people, you will be promoted to the fourth-level senior warrior, and you will be granted 240 acres of land and 12 serfs... From the fourth-level warrior upwards, you will be promoted to the military nobility with 800 acres of land, and you will be promoted in sequence!..."
The clanking sound of hammers floated in the iron smelting yard, echoing the sound of steel. In the simple wooden house, the bonfire roasted the whale baleen, outlining the power of the flames. Beside such iron and fire, the monk soldier Watanabe
Masumi stretched out her left hand, holding the kingdom paper book she finally got with her four remaining fingers, and read it carefully, line by line, word by word.
"Samurai are divided into four levels, and they are promoted successively by military merit until they become nobles. Craftsmen are also divided into four levels. The highest master craftsman is equivalent to the military noble... Both warriors and craftsmen must participate in the divine war and fight for the gods.
!…”
These paper books are obviously printed, and the text format is very strange, from left to right. The entire text is in Chinese, with some unique new characters added, and rare sentence readings added to each sentence. However,
With clear sentence fragmentation, the writing is much easier to understand. The kingdom's politics, religion and military revealed between the lines made Monk Watanabe frown, confused and silent.
"O Lord God! O Great Bodhisattva Hachiman! This is really strange... It's really strange! Isn't this military merit conferment of land and titles the expanded system of the Qin Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty in the history books? And the powerful princes who established various royal bloodlines are like
Mengyuan or two weeks?… As for this kind of belief in the sole god of black birds, it is more powerful than Tantric Buddhism. I have never seen it before!…”
"Ancestor of the Genji! Such a prosperous and prosperous lake kingdom with a large population has gunpowder and bronze cannons, countless gold and silver, and endless food, but it does not have mature iron tools. It still uses bronze.
Era! Just like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of the Tang Dynasty two thousand years ago, or the era of King Shuai Sheng a thousand years ago?..."
"And most of the farmland and villages I saw along the way were cultivated with stone farm tools and built with wooden houses and shacks. Only the temples and palaces in the city were built of stone, which were exceptionally tall and majestic. The entire kingdom's large population was divided into those of the sacred bloodline.
Clan, the warriors who fight for the clan, the tribesmen who belong to the clan, and the slaves who work and work... The appearance of this clan kingdom with divine surnames is also like the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, or the clan period when each tribe built ancient tombs... Not bad!
Isn’t that towering temple pyramid just like the ancient tomb of a divine clan? It’s just more spectacular, taller and grander!…”
"However, such a powerful lake kingdom has established a county system and obeys the Mexica Alliance, which is said to be even more powerful... And in the most magnificent lake capital in the legend, there is a supreme god-king and a high priest who rules over the god-king.
The group of high priests and the group of deliberation ministers are here to decide the major conquests in the world!...Why do I feel that this has become the Qin and Han Dynasties with the legal system of the Tang Dynasty, or the royal government period after the reform of Dahua?...Then the group of high priests and the group of deliberation and government are not gods.
Are the king’s divine officers and magistrates?…”
Monk Watanabe read these public scriptures and laws, and felt that his IQ was not enough, and his head turned into paste. How did these Jiao people tribes 20,000 miles away from the east develop such strange political, religious and military systems?
?
"Lord God! What a strange, powerful, and incomprehensible Jiaoren tribe!...How did they use artillery while still farming with stone tools? How did they maintain the expansion system of Qin State, the place of Shang and Zhou Dynasty?
The princes, the central government of Qin and Han, and the monotheistic belief like Xuanniao in the Shang Dynasty?... The Great Bodhisattva with Eight Banners! What on earth is this? These Jiao people, are they the same as ours and the country, are... from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties,
Tribes that have been migrating eastwards are constantly merging together? But that doesn’t mean they are still using stone tools to farm!…”
Monk soldier Watanabe rubbed his head in distress, even picked up a short stick and hit his forehead three times. Unfortunately, he did not have the peerless understanding of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, nor the night-time transmission of the Dharma by the Fifth Patriarch Hongren, so he could not understand it at all.
The reason behind this dream bubble, I can only sigh helplessly!
"Hey! ... Anyway, in this vast and fertile land of people, the noble ones who can really make the decisions are the legendary 'god kings', the 'kings of princes' of the kingdom in the lake, and the 'big names' of the clans in various places.
They!…”
"God bless you! If I want to seek development, go further, and return to my family... I must seek the support of these noble people! The gold and silver wealth in the hands of these noble people is much more than that of Ashikaga Shogun. I'm afraid
It can be compared with the extremely rich Ming Dynasty! And the number of warriors and ships in the Jiaoren Kingdom is not inferior to the Ashikaga Shogun of the shogunate! As for the land occupied by the Jiaoren tribe, it is 20,000 miles from east to west, north and south. If you hadn't made this trip yourself,
,I can’t imagine it at all!…”
Monk Soldier Watanabe thought silently, his eyes flashed with awe, greed, and vision for the future. He was a true descendant of the martial arts family! How could his knowledge and knowledge of the martial arts be like those of others?
How can the captured Korean sailors and those unsophisticated Ezo warriors compare? No one understands better than him! No one understands the distance, vastness and wealth of the Jiaoren tribe better than him! And!
These Jiao people had no shortage of wealth or land, so why did they follow the divine revelation and sail 20,000 miles to the far north?…

The Jiaoren priest said that it is to follow the divine inspiration and find the Jiaoren fellows in the Western Continent! And the so-called divine inspiration, the so-called search for the West
Tribe, putting aside the terrifying and mysterious prophecy, what is it for?..."
"Ah! Enlightened by Manjushri Bodhisattva! Those who practice samadhi must only focus on one practice and practice samadhi, which is the principle of calming the mind and observing the truth..."
Monk Bing Watanabe lowered his eyes, crossed his legs and meditated silently. At this moment, in his mind, he tried hard to imagine a golden Buddha statue holding a sword, which was the most intelligent "Miaojixiang Manjusri Bodhisattva". As a monk Bing of Tiantai Sect Miao Court
, of course he was very familiar with this worshiped Bodhisattva. And when he recited the scriptures of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the turbulent fog in his mind gradually calmed down. He vaguely, gradually, seemed to have figured out the true meaning of the people.
the goal of!
"Witness the Lord God! These Jiaoren priests favored Sukeichiro who knew how to raise horses, Datani who knew how to blacksmith, Jin Shanshu who knew how to build ships, Pu Shunfan who knew how to make sails, and let the remaining people farm the rice and rice we brought.
Beans...ah! I understand! I am afraid they went to the west just to obtain various products that they did not have, to obtain craftsmen who could produce various goods, and to obtain skills that were not here, or had been lost and inherited!..."
Thinking of this, Monk Bing Watanabe's eyes suddenly lit up, like lightning, and thousands of thoughts emerged in an instant. He felt that he understood! He knew what the leaders of the Jiao people wanted!
So, as a sword-wielding martial artist, how can he follow his wishes and gain the support of the Jiao people? If he doesn't want to die here and wants to return to his hometown in Kyushu... this path is filled with difficulties, thousands of miles, risks and opportunities.
How to navigate the path of coexistence?…
"Goods, craftsmen and skills... gold, ships and warriors... hmm?!... hmm!!..."
Monk Soldier Watanabe lowered his head, crossed his legs, and thought for a long time like an old monk in trance. It wasn't until the firewood in the fire pit burned out and the last crackling sound was heard that he seemed to be suddenly frightened, and opened his eyes faintly, revealing the martial arts figure.
murderous intent.
"Buddha! Master asked me to let go of the past and gave me the Dharma name Watanabe Masumi. I need to have a clear mind before I can cross over to the other shore... Now, I'm afraid I can't get to the other shore of liberation! This old karma of killing, this
Greed, anger, and foolish desires are numerous in my heart, giving rise to endless illusions..."
"O Lord God! I can no longer be clear and cross the river!...I have come to this day and come to this land of the Lord God that clings to people...I have no choice but to pick up the killing karma I put down and exchange it for my real name...
Ryuzoji Iehiro!”
