Chapter 9 Kamedaichis middle-aged incident book (Part 2)
It's still morning in Chuanpengzhuang.
On the north side of the atrium of this hot spring hotel, there is the largest room in the hotel.
This room is usually only used to host banquets and not for accommodation, so it is also the most elegantly decorated place in the whole store.
The wooden walls and even the ceiling are painted with a thin layer of warm paint. Masks, fans, calligraphy and paintings and other decorations are hung on the walls. The ornate screens and inner doors are painted with cranes, pines and bamboos. They are all displayed in several corners of the house.
An expensive vase.
Even the tatami mats and cushions spread on the floor are constantly changed, and each piece has a faint fragrance.
At this moment, there are seven people sitting in this room.
These seven are no one else, they are the seven main suspects in the "murder of Takeda Kuranosuke" - Miyamoto Musashi, Tokumaru, Son Yixie, Huang Donglai, Keijiro, Yoshitaka and Kogan.
Of course, it says "sitting", but that's actually not accurate because two of them are lying down. You know who they are even if I don't tell you.
Anyway, they are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
"Damn it...Why doesn't Xiong Gu come here? I feel so much pain in my feet that he forced me to come here, and then he didn't show up and asked me to wait?" Sun Yixie slumped there for a while and then started.
complain.
"Your name is Mao? Didn't Keijiro and I help you here together? I still have a stomachache." Huang Donglai was lying not far away from him. Although he was feeling unwell, he still felt choked by these words.
"What are you doing? You can't scream? Besides, there's nothing wrong with your legs. If you want to escape, just go to the toilet. Who's stopping you?" Sun Yixie put on a rogue face and pushed back.
"What are you squirming about? I've been squirming since yesterday afternoon until midnight. Not to mention it's watery, there's not even a drop of juice left." Huang Donglai said again, "I don't want to have a bowel movement now, but my stomach is still aching. This is okay.
What can we do?"
Everyone, they are lying down, but the five people in the same room with them are all sitting in person, and there is a small table in front of them, with hot tea and snacks on the table.
.
Originally, the five of them were drinking tea and eating cakes, and by the way, they could admire the cherry blossoms in the atrium through the open Japanese-style sliding door and listen to the sound of water hitting the bamboo.
However, these two lines of Shuangxi are just like sunbathing under the flowers, burning harp and boiling cranes, washing feet in the clear spring, defecating on the kang... After listening to their words, who can still eat? They can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
?
Within three seconds, the other five people all silently put down their snack teacups, and an unknown fire arose in their hearts.
"Uh..." After a while, Keijiro spoke again.
Firstly, his personality is relatively bold, so he doesn't mind breaking the awkward atmosphere by himself; secondly...after all, he is the same as the double humor, and he has been involved in it to some extent when he is embarrassed, so he wants to
After thinking about it, let’s take control of the situation.
"I said... everyone..." Keijiro smiled sarcastically, glanced at the four strangers in the room, and said, "It's rare that everyone is gathered here, why don't you get to know each other?"
His words fell to the ground, but for a moment no one responded.
Just when the atmosphere was about to become more awkward, Miyamoto Musashi still gave him a face: "Your Excellency Keijiro, I think everyone in this room should know you."
What he said is true. In those days, there were no photos and the media basically relied on words. Therefore, a "wonder" like Keijiro, who was known for his weird appearance, words and deeds, was actually more powerful than a great swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi.
Easy to identify.
"Really? Hahaha... That's not bad." Keijiro borrowed the donkey and looked at Musashi and continued, "I wonder who you are?"
"My dear, Miyamoto Musashi." Musashi replied in a calm tone.
But when his name was reported, the expressions of everyone else in the room changed...
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Whether it is Tokumaru, Keijiro, or the two monk soldiers, they have all heard of Musashi's deeds more or less. As "people in the martial arts world" in Japan, they have heard of Musashi's deeds.
When he was named, his reaction was obviously greater than that of a public servant like Xiong Gu.
Even Sun and Huang suddenly sat up and said in unison: "What? Are you Miyamoto Musashi?"
Obviously, even these two guys had heard of this name in the world before they traveled.
Musashi was shocked by these two guys, and thought to himself at that time: "These two guys have been half-dead since just now, why are they so excited when they hear my name... Could it be that they have a grudge against me?
Or want to challenge me?"
Musashi would have this idea, which was undoubtedly shaped by his experience.
Musashi in this universe is a relatively pure warrior. He is not very interested in becoming an official or fame and fortune. All he pursues is "unparalleled in the world".
Therefore, since his youth, Musashi has basically spent his life challenging and being challenged by others, which has made him countless enemies and attracted many potential challengers.
However... the reason why Shuangxie sat up in shock at this moment was definitely not what Musashi thought. They were just simply surprised - this guy is Miyamoto Musashi? That's it?
Here we have to say something else. In the history we are familiar with, the height of the ancient Japanese was quite short. It is normal for adults to be about 1.5 meters, and there are also many 1.4 meters. But in our book
Of course, we can’t come up with it this way, because if we come at it this way, the two harmonies who are about 1.7 meters tall are two dazzling giants in Japan. This story is difficult to tell. Therefore, in this book, we must at least put this "Yuanhe 2nd Year"
"The average height of Japanese people is about 1.6 meters, and warriors like Keijiro are 1.7 meters tall.
So what happened to Miyamoto Musashi?
He is still 1.6 meters tall... Even though he has a very strong figure, a rough face, and a lot of scary-looking scars on his body, overall, compared to those martial arts masters in the Central Plains, he is physically and mentally tough.
There is nothing outstanding about his internal strength.
Sun Yixie had also met a Japanese swordsman in the past, the ronin Terashima Yasuhei who was killed by Lin Yuancheng. In comparison, he felt that although Musashi was much stronger than Terashima, he might not be able to defeat those in the Central Plains.
A first-class master, if Musashi in this universe is considered "unparalleled" in Japan like the one in the history he knows, then the overall strength of this Japanese martial arts world may be a bit weak.
"Hmph...I see..." Two seconds later, Shuangxie didn't answer, but Tokumaru, who was sitting on Musashi's left side, became excited, "No wonder I felt an invisible pressure as soon as I entered this room. This is
Is it the aura exuded by a swordsman who has experienced hundreds of battles?"
"Ha..." As soon as he said this, Yi Gen, who was sitting in the other corner of the room, immediately sneered.
His laughter was not directed at Musashi, but at Tokumaru. What it meant was: You will feel invisible pressure, not because of Musashi, but because of me. It’s just that you are blind to Mount Taishan.
The wrong thing to be afraid of.
"Excuse me, your Excellency..." When Musashi saw Tokumaru talking to him, he asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"I am Tokumaru, the second generation successor of the 'Flowing Water' boxing technique." Tokumaru raised his head and straightened his chest, and replied with a serious face, "Please bear in mind that this will be a brand that will be resounding throughout the Japanese martial arts community in the future.
name."
"Hahaha..." As soon as these words came out, Yigen simply laughed out loud in a mocking manner without hesitation.
"What's so funny?" Tokumaru heard Gigen's sneer just now, but ignored it. This time the other party laughed so loudly that he couldn't help it anymore.
"Young man, being too confident sometimes is not a good thing." Yi Gen responded in a very social tone, "You know how many unknown boxing masters like you I have seen in the past, and I have learned a few tricks from the three-legged cat.
Kung Fu, I thought I could make a name for myself in the martial arts world, but in the end, I couldn’t even successfully challenge an opponent, so I was beaten to death and maimed..."
"Whose kung fu are you saying is the three-legged cat?" Tokumaru said angrily, "I can't pretend that I didn't hear this!"
"The boxing technique has only been passed down for two generations, do you still want to pretend that you are a famous boxing sect?" Yi Gen immediately retorted.
"The 'Ryukyu' boxing technique is a lineage of 'Ryukyu hand', and the origin of 'Ryukyu hand' is Chinese boxing. If you really want to talk about its origin, I am afraid it is longer than the history of your Ichigo sect." Tokumaru continued,
"Furthermore, the strength of a boxing technique cannot only be judged by the length of time it has been passed down, but mainly by the person who uses it... Just like my master realized his own 'water flow' from the 'Ryukyu hand'
Likewise, when this boxing technique was passed to me, it transformed again because of me... I call this boxing technique that belongs to me 'Karate', and in my opinion... Karate is the strongest martial art in the world.
study!"
"Ha! Haha, hahaha..." This time, both of them laughed.
They didn't do it for anything else, just because most of what Tokumaru said made sense in the first half, but the confident speech at the end was really funny. Combined with Tokumaru's weak strength and serious attitude,
The second tone is even more difficult to hold tight.
The two of them laughed so hard that they lay down again, and then bent over and stood up again, and then lay down again... If Gigen's ridicule just now had a mental damage of 2 to Tokumaru, then this wave of "sit-ups" by the pair of harmonious people
At least 8 points to start.
"Why are you two laughing?" Tokumaru has been a little unhappy with these two guys who are full of shit and piss since they couldn't have tea. Now that they are like this, he will no longer be polite when speaking.
"Haah...haah..." Sun Yixie softened his smile and replied while lying on his side, "Brother Tokumaru, according to your point of view, except for your karate, the rest of us here are
Martial arts...are they all rubbish?"
His behavior of grabbing someone's lines and making fun of him was random, because Tokumaru seemed really funny to him, so he also wanted to joke with him.
Unexpectedly, Tokumaru was really taken advantage of, and he replied at that time: "So what..."
Peng——
The next second, before Tokumaru could even finish his words, there was a sound of treading on the ground in the room, followed immediately by the sight of... Xing Gen's huge body had already leaped up and crossed diagonally across the wide room.
room, he held a naginata in his hand and struck it towards Tokumaru without any hesitation.
At this moment, Xiong Gu, who was hiding in the room upstairs and peeking down through the store's designated peephole, was completely stunned.
Xiong Gu gathered these seven suspects here on the pretext that "I have something to discuss with you." He originally wanted to observe them secretly to see which one of them would show off in the conversation; but unexpectedly, this group of "martial arts practitioners" sat down
At the same time, they didn't mention anything about the murder. They just chatted for less than five minutes and then the whole show started.
But looking at it this way... when Kumagai was negotiating with the two monk soldiers before, Xing Gen didn't hit him directly, he just stood up and looked like he was going to take action, which was considered very restrained.
Huh-huh-
when--
Soon enough, before Xing Gen's offensive could land, two more figures moved.
However, he saw Keijiro's red spear and Musashi's tachi coming from the left and right respectively. The two swords just crossed each other in mid-air to block Xing Gen's attack.
It's just that... after receiving the sword, Keijiro and Musashi were both driven back a bit by the force of the sword.
Although the two of them took action in a hurry, and the force was exerted by the gravity acceleration and body weight from top to bottom, and Keijiro and Musashi were both "side-to-side to meet", which was a relatively disadvantageous situation, the strange power of Yukiwa still made them feel sad.
Secretly shocked.
"Hey, hey... Even if this little brother is uttering arrogant words, he doesn't have to kill someone as soon as he strikes, right?" Keijiro's tone seemed to be quite relaxed, but he also felt a little guilty in his heart, because in a real fight, he would have to consider his own two things.
There is a companion who is paralyzed on the ground.
"That's right, there is still an unsolved murder in the hotel. If you kill Lord Tokumaru again..." Musashi also wanted to persuade him to make peace.
"Hey! Who do you think will be killed?" Unexpectedly, Tokumaru jumped up when he heard these two sentences, "I didn't ask for your help, are you looking down on me? A simple attack like that,
I can easily..."
"I'm your brother!" At this moment, Sun Yixie, who was lying on the ground, suddenly shouted loudly and used the "Rolling Red Dust" in the dragon dog boxing technique. Without using his feet at all, he just
Using the strength of his waist and abdomen, he rolled to the ground and quickly approached Tokumaru. Then he grabbed Tokumaru's ankles with both hands and pulled him back.
Under the sneak attack from the third party, Tokumaru immediately fell face down on the tatami, and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, his reaction was not slow, and he stretched out his hands to support himself.
His strong arms supported his body.
But just as Tokumaru was preparing to adjust his body to counterattack, and asked Sun Yixie why he wanted to sneak attack on him, Huang Donglai, who was lying on the ground a second ago, also followed Brother Sun's actions this second... Huang Donglai was just a snap of his fingers.
He jumped up, flew a distance of three meters, and "rided" down on Tokumaru's back.
It has to be said that Tokumaru's physical training was not in vain. Even though his feet were grabbed and someone was pressed on his back, he still managed to hold on... When his face was about to hit the ground, his body was bent.
With his arms barely able to withstand it, he did a push-up and once again raised his body together with Huang Donglai on his back.
"What... do you want to do?" After a breath, Tokumaru gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
"First, we want you to shut up and stop talking nonsense." Huang Donglai, who was pressing on Tokumaru's back, answered in a relaxed tone.
"Second, I want to let you know in the simplest way that karate is not the strongest martial arts in the world." Sun Yixie continued.
The three of them were entangled here, and the weapons battle on the other side didn't stop.
Just now, although Keijiro and Musashi tried to persuade him, Yukiwata was indifferent to their words, and his violent state did not restrain at all. He raised the naginata in his hand and kept slashing at him.
You think Xing Gen's move is so powerful, but that's not the case. He just uses the rotation of his body and small jumps to make wide open and close spinning slashes again and again; this movement is more like dance than martial arts.
...But because of Yukage's larger size and greater monster power, coupled with the long weapon like the naginata being covered in the indoor environment, Keijiro and Musashi were able to fight for a while and had no chance to counterattack.
At this time, Yi Gen sat calmly in his original position, picked up the teacup again, and sipped tea leisurely, as if the fight taking place in the room had nothing to do with him.
When Xiong Gu upstairs saw this, he couldn't help but said: "This monk is really cruel. It seems that he doesn't mind killing these people in the same room at all, and he is not afraid of bearing the consequences... He didn't let Xing Gen attack me before.
I'm afraid it's just because of my official status, and I don't think I'm a threat to him. If I really pissed him off, he would probably dare to even me...Eh? Wait, if you put it this way, does it mean that these two monks can be eliminated?
Are you suspected?"
Kumagai thought it right. It was precisely because Yigen had nothing to do with Takeda’s death that when Kumagai came to ask questions in the morning, Yigen didn’t take it seriously. If the task of “killing Takeda” was done by Yigen, then he
With his character, he would probably kill Xiong Gu too, or even kill everyone in the hotel.
Dang-dang-dang-bah-bah-bah-
The sound of clashing weapons was endless, and was also mixed with the sound of walls, tatami mats, and furniture decorations being smashed into pieces.
"Hey! You guy, since you don't listen to persuasion, let's go out and fight!" Keijiro fought in the house for a while. Seeing that the monk soldier had no room for action against him, the person who broke up the fight, the anger in his heart was also beaten out.
So, he grabbed a gap, jumped out of the open door, jumped into the atrium of the hotel, and yelled at Xing Gen.
When Xing Gen heard this, he was like a wild beast with red eyes, and he chased after him with a low roar.
Suddenly, these two warriors with long weapons started fighting alone in the courtyard where the cherry blossoms were falling and the water was gurgling.
Youdao is...
In a touch of spring cold, two shadows appear with swords and spears.
Between three moves and five movements, half a catty can be seen as eight liang.
After coming to the open space outside the house and playing a few rounds with ease, Keijiro understood in his heart: the opponent's strength was very close to his.
Keijiro's moves are much more sophisticated than Yugan's, and his speed and strength are more balanced. In terms of "martial arts" alone, he obviously has an advantage; Yugan is good at strange strength, which is combined with his long naginata and large-scale movements.
, which makes up for his shortcomings of slow speed and simple moves very well, making him unlikely to lose in a short period of time.
So if the two of them can't produce a result, what will happen to the people in the room?
I think all readers can guess this...faced with Sun Huang's physical attack, even monsters, let alone humans, can't withstand it.
Even if Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were not in the best condition due to physical reasons at the moment, it was still easy to deal with Dewan, and it didn't take long for the latter to be subdued by the two's "sleeping skills".
At the same time, on the side near the door of the room, Musashi walked slowly to Yi Gen and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you going to stop your companion?"
"Ha..." Yi Gen sneered and continued, "The guy named Xiong Gu wanted to give an 'explanation' to his superiors, so he gathered several people he thought were suspicious here to see the show.
, then in my opinion... we might as well satisfy him, for example... kill one person, and then hand him over as the real murderer, so that the rest of us can get away and go our separate ways, isn't that good?
"
When Yi Gen said this, he paused, glanced at the three people in the room, then looked at the courtyard, and continued with a smile: "As for the one who died, is it this young man named Tokumaru, or
That Keijiro outside is not important, right? As long as the survivors among us are of the same caliber..."
There is something strange about his words - the person who suddenly took action was Xing Gen, and the person who killed him without hesitation was also Xing Gen. Yi Gen never told Xing Gen what to do, but it seems that the latter did it
That's what he had in mind.
"Fart!" Hearing this, Sun Yixie let go of Tokumaru, "Why don't you die?"
Two seconds later, Huang Donglai also let go of Tokumaru, turned to Yigen and said, "That's right. From what I saw in this room, you two monks look the most like murderers."
And Tokumaru, who was let go by the two of them, was also confused at this moment, and he couldn't tell whether Sun Huang was a good guy or a bad guy.
"You want me to die?" The other half, Yi Gen, showed disdain. He looked at the people in the room and said arrogantly, "Huh... Do you think you can do this?"
It seems that Ajabo Yigen has a very high self-esteem. Even if he faced the world-famous Miyamoto Musashi and three other warriors, he did not feel that he would lose at all.
"Damn it! You dance, right?" Sun Yixie's voice was even louder, "I'm telling you, if I hadn't had a sore foot today, like you..."
scold--
Brother Sun's long scolding had just begun, but Musashi over there had already taken action.
The tachi in Musashi's right hand let out a sharp roar and cut an arc in mid-air. The afterimage of the sword had not disappeared, but the blade had already reached Yogi Gen's forehead.
Seeing this move, Yigen's expression became serious. He was already on guard and immediately picked up the Zen staff at his hand, blocking Musashi's slash just a centimeter above his head.
Yes!
The next second, only a "squeak" sound was heard, and Yi Gen's carotid artery let out a mournful cry that it could only perform once in its life.
Amidst this roar, a piece of blood mist spurted out from Yi Gen's right neck.
Yigen's eyes widened in shock. After realizing it, his eyes slowly moved downwards, and finally stopped on Musashi's left hand.
Musashi's left hand was currently holding the handle of another unsheathed Kodachi at his waist.
At this moment, in the room, except for Musashi himself, only Sun and Huang realized clearly when Musashi made his move - Musashi's right hand downward slash just now was just a feint, and his real killing move was an Iai horizontal slash with his left hand Kodachi.
This sword was as fast as lightning. From the moment it was unsheathed to the moment it was retracted, it only took an instant. Yi Genmo said he was reacting and didn't even see it.
He also paid the price with his life.
"It seems... I have this ability." After Musashi finished beheading Giogen, he put away the sword indifferently and left this sentence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Gen's hand holding up the Zen staff dropped down feebly, and his head slumped towards the side where he had been chopped off.
The strange thing is that at the same time that Yi Gen died, Xing Gen outside the room also rolled his eyes and fell to the ground as if he had fallen apart...
