"Hmm … Looks like this substitute is a success?"
After the discussion, Guichi Dharma Eye left Yamanouji Masafumi behind. Immediately after, Yamanouji Masafumi's expression changed as he looked up at Guichi Dharma Eye, whose face had turned blank, and rubbed his chin.
This' Guichi Dharma Eye 'was, of course, the one Wu Ming had used to disguise himself as Hijikata Masafumi.
Because he was also a Level 3 expert, the aura of a powerful master was very obvious. Coupled with the blood-red hair aura that Wu Ming's closest samurai could not see through, he could be used as a substitute.
"Also … when I was creating the substitute, I left a secret plan. This shadow samurai has a second form — Yamanouji Masafumi! If necessary, he can be the monk, and I can continue to be the house supervisor … It's convenient to switch back and forth, and it'll be easier to cover up. Let the monk find an excuse to go into seclusion … "
After the preparations were complete, Wu Ming brought Guichi Dharma Eye to the newly built 'Honnoji'.
"This name … it's just my bad taste again …"
Wu Ming wanted to laugh, but he had to maintain the image of an eminent monk, so he forced himself to hold it in.
"Onimaru Takeshi, Juushirou Amakusa!"
After entering the temple, Guichi Dharma Eye took the lead and summoned two children. "This is Yamanouji Masafumi, the future abbot of Honnoji. You must respect him, just like how you respect me."
"Greetings, my lord!"
The two children immediately bowed and stole a glance at Yamanouji. They felt that Yamanouji Masafumi was kind and gentle, and did not seem like the kind of person who had the majesty of a warrior or an asura, so they reluctantly relaxed.
"Cough, cough …"
At that moment, Wu Ming, who was controlling Guichi Dharma Eye, coughed again and said solemnly, "Onimaru Takeshi! This Yamanouji Masafumi is the teacher I've invited for you. He will teach you the art of war, strategy, and even Yin-Yang techniques and ninjutsu. At the same time, he will also teach you the art of flower arranging and the art of tea. He is a profound scholar, and even I admire his attainments in these two areas! "
"Teacher!"
Onimaru bowed again, his voice filled with desire.
"Very good … I will do my best to teach everything I know to Master Onimaru …"
Wu Ming announced his Dharma name before glancing at Juushirou Amakusa, "Of course … the person beside me can also attend the lecture …"
A look of joy immediately appeared on Juushirou Amakusa's face. Even Onimaru was happy that his companion had gotten this opportunity.
Next, Wu Ming was too lazy to continue the two-man show. He asked Guichi Dharma Eye to leave, but he stayed and looked at Onimaru in front of him.
"What this poor monk has learned is all-encompassing, including the art of war, strategy, Yin-Yang techniques, as well as calligraphy, tea ceremony, camellia, and so on … Onimaru, where do you want to start?"
"Of course it's the art of war!"
Onimaru clenched his fists and answered without hesitation.
"Learning the art of war … is a rather painful process. Are you ready?"
"Rest assured! Teacher, I've already come to this realization! "
Onimaru's eyes were filled with determination. The blood he carried, the hatred from his family, and the years of being hunted and homeless had made him grow up quickly.
"Very good … I've compiled all the art of war, strategy, and Yin-Yang techniques that I've learned in my life into a book. I've named it the Book of Five Rings. It's divided into the Scroll of Earth, the Scroll of Fire, the Scroll of Wind, the Scroll of Water, and the Scroll of Space. From today onwards, I'll teach it to you! Of course, Juushirou Amakusa can also attend. How much you can learn will depend on your own understanding … "
"Ha!"
Onimaru and Juushirou Amakusa agreed excitedly.
"Now … Let's go prepare lunch. We'll officially start training in the afternoon. It's going to be very tiring …"
Wu Ming smiled as he watched the two kids leave. Then, his eyes turned dark again.
This so-called Book of Five Rings was, of course, something he had made up. It was a combination of the Japanese martial arts, Yin-Yang techniques, and ninjutsu he had collected, and finally, a compilation of his own imagination.
Moreover, he had mixed in quite a bit of his own knowledge.
If it was useful, it would be somewhat useful. In Wu Ming's opinion, this was at least a Level 3 book.
The so-called Level 3 was also his own classification. It was based on the highest potential that the secret book could be cultivated to. The limit of a Level 3 Book of Five Rings was naturally Level 3.
After all, Wu Ming was also a Level 3 Spiritual Master. It was impossible for him to create a Level 4 book, even if he had other references, unless he became a Heavenly Master.
However, Wu Ming did not have any good intentions in teaching Onimaru and Juushirou Amakusa the Book of Five Rings. This was because the methods of ambush and control were exactly the same as the Ninjutsu Swordsmen.
The more one immersed in it, the more one would be controlled by him.
It was just that it would not cause one to go crazy and lose their rationality. The methods used were also closer to a gentle breeze and drizzle, which was much better than the simple and violent Ninjutsu Swordsmen.
"However, the methods of ambushing in the book, as well as exerting mental influence every day and planting a controlling brand are all small tricks. The real method is to lock them in with love …"
Wu Ming rubbed his chin. "How about taking him in as a godson? Or … he might as well find a random adopted daughter and marry her to him … "
…
In the afternoon, Honnoji was bathed in the sun. There were fallen leaves in the garden, making it look warm and cozy.
Onimaru and Juushirou Amakusa were kneeling in front of Wu Ming, listening intently.
"This poor monk's Book of Five Rings. The Earth Scroll talks about the way of the warrior and the way of the sword. The Water Scroll talks about how water is ethereal and rippling. It is the softest and softest thing. It contains the principle of immutability in all changes. Therefore, this scroll talks about Yin Yang and ninjutsu. The Wind Scroll talks about the gathering of information, the geography and general situation of the world, as well as the art of war of various sword schools …"
"And the Fire Scroll …"
At this point, a strange smile appeared on Wu Ming's face. "What is recorded here is the way of marching and fighting, as well as the world's number one battle formation!"
"Number one in the world?!"
The two kids were indeed shocked. Onimaru's eyes were filled with yearning. "What kind of battle formation is that?"
"This poor monk named this battle formation — Iron Cannon Plus Cannon Formation! If you master it, you will be able to dominate the world and win every battle! "
The corner of Wu Ming's mouth curled up into a smile.
This was actually referring to firearms. As someone from his previous life, he had a lot of strange ideas and ambiguous knowledge in this area.
However, the Dazhou world was far more developed than the Fusang world. It already had primitive firearms. If Wu Ming took it out again, it would be eye-catching and could be easily copied. Moreover, he did not have the time.
But in the Fusang world, it was different.
With status and power, as well as a long time, Wu Ming had also gathered craftsmen and came up with something.
Now, it was time to experiment on this disciple of his.
Those who had power must have power. Otherwise, there would be chaos!
The birth of firearms was to allow anyone who had a finger to pull the trigger to gain power, comparable to a warrior who had trained for many years!
What kind of change would it bring after the lower class grasped great power?
Wu Ming was quite looking forward to this.
'… According to my research, the supernatural powers in this world are too strong. Normal firearms, when developed to the limit, can only match the pinnacle of level-1 … Although it will cause a certain amount of social unrest, the impact it will have on level-2 and level-3 experts, or even the rule of the entire path of Godhood, is not optimistic …'
'However, level one Extraordinaires are the foundation and the largest group … The changes here may be used as a preview for the Dazhou world, or even other extraordinary worlds …'
Wu Ming's thoughts were very big, and they were far from being limited to the Fusang world.
"Iron Cannon Plus Cannon? What's that? "
Onimaru was puzzled. To defeat the army of the Genpei family, great power was needed. This made him very interested in this so-called number one battle formation in the world.
"That's the power of flames … It represents the extraordinary power of invasion and destruction. More importantly, it can be easily controlled by mortals …"
Wu Ming briefly explained the use of firearms, and Onimaru's eyes immediately lit up. "I want to learn this!"
"Hmm … I will teach you the Fire Scroll along with the art of war!"
Wu Ming nodded. "As for the Void Scroll … Sigh …"
"So what if it's the Void Scroll?"
Onimaru clenched his fists and asked nervously.
"The Void Scroll talks about the path of having and not having. It is the summary of this poor monk's life. Emptiness has no beginning and no end, no inside and no outside. Because of emptiness, you are not bound by any external things. You can enter and exit it at the same time. Whether you can cultivate it or not … it all depends on your talent … "
Wu Ming seemed to be sighing, but in fact, this was the control method he had tailor-made for Onimaru. As long as he cultivated the Mind Control Technique, he would inevitably be controlled by him unknowingly.
"Emptiness? Have and not have? "
A trace of doubt flashed in Onimaru's eyes.
"All having and not having is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, and a shadow, like dew or lightning. This is how you should view it!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Ming recited the mantra, which was like the sound of a bell, deep and thought-provoking. It went straight into the depths of Onimaru's heart and firmly planted a seed in his heart.
"When it comes to brainwashing and control, Daoism is no match for Fan Men …"
At the same time, seeing a trace of Buddha's nature appear on Onimaru's face, Wu Ming also thought to himself, "Also … this is also a precaution, a means to divert attention and cause and effect …"
If one day, Susanoo realized that something was wrong, but because of this arrangement, attention was drawn to Fan Men and the other monks, Wu Ming would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
Not only Onimaru, but even Amakusa Juushirou, who was next to him, had tears in his eyes as he bowed respectfully to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ming was happy at first, but then he felt a little apprehensive. He knew that he had a long way to go.
