Sutra 9: Hidden dragon, do not use. Sutra 4: Or leap into the abyss, do not blame.
Hidden dragon in the abyss.
Saburo Nagato had been concentrating on the practice of swordsmanship for fifteen years. His goal was to catch up with his older brother.
His brother was twelve years older than him and had become a samurai at the age of seventeen. Now that his brother was getting older, he was at the age of promotion.
The young Saburo Nagato believed that he would be able to achieve more than his brother. Hidden dragon in the abyss, amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!
"Marriage?"
When he just came back from training, his brother came to the place where he lived.
Saburo Nagato was surprised to listen to his brother's suggestion. Saburo Nagato subconsciously thought that his brother Nagato Munechika seemed to have a family when he was his age. Now Shinji, his nephew, was almost seven years old. He could learn swordsmanship in the coming year.
Nagato Munechika, who was almost forty years old, was obviously older than Saburo Nagato's impression. He had white hair on both temples. When did it happen? Saburo Nagato looked at the white hair on his brother's temples and seemed a little distracted.
"Her name is Haru Narukami. She is the successor of the shrine's next miko." Nagato Munechika said calmly, "I have already discussed with the current miko. Haru Narukami is not suitable to take over the position of miko. Miko-sama intends to choose another suitable candidate. Haru Narukami has grown up and should consider marriage. Since you are also at the age of marriage, I will help you agree to this marriage. "
Nagato Munechika, who had inherited the Nagato family business, had unquestionable power in the Nagato family. Saburo Nagato was obsessed with the practice of swordsmanship. He didn't think much about his marriage. However, an elder brother was like a father. Saburo Nagato didn't expect Nagato Munechika's arrangement, but he didn't resist.
"I will listen to my brother's arrangement!" Saburo Nagato nodded directly.
Haru Narukami was a child adopted by the miko. She had attended the annual ritual activities of Unripe Rice Village several times. Saburo Nagato had already seen her. She was indeed an excellent woman, so he didn't resist his brother's arrangement.
But he was more eager for another thing. "Brother, please allow me to practice the secret of the Nagato family! I feel that my strength can no longer improve! "
This was the foundation of the Nagato family's business. In the beginning, the ancestor of the Nagato family was able to survive the battle with the powerful fox demon in the Unripe Rice Village area because of the secret art. He was rewarded by the Unripe Rice Village as a fief.
However, only those who inherited the family business had the qualifications to practice and bestow the esoteric profoundness. Even if Saburo Nagato was a brother of Nagato Munechika, he was not qualified to practice it.
Nagato Munechika looked at Saburo Nagato for a long time with a cold expression. In the end, he just said, "We will talk about this after you get married."
Saburo Nagato could only give up asking.
Looking at Nagato Munechika's back, Saburo Nagato whispered to himself, "Brother, are you so afraid that I will surpass you? The Nagato family's Kami … "
…
The news of the marriage spread quickly, and people talked about it enthusiastically. When Saburo Nagato went out, praises could be heard everywhere.
This made him feel inexplicably irritable. He made a decision. Before getting married, he would quietly go to the mountain to see his fiancée, Haru Narukami.
The people of Unripe Rice Village were familiar with the shrine used for worship. When he came to the shrine, Saburo Nagato didn't see the witch presiding here. He waited outside the shrine for a while. He didn't even see Haru Narukami, but he couldn't help but be fascinated by the beautiful scenery on the mountain.
A few years ago, Saburo Nagato traveled outside and went to many places. There were many places more beautiful than this mountain scenery, but at this time, he had a thought that he couldn't compare. It was probably because he felt a rare sense of tranquility.
There was a path leading to the back of the shrine. Saburo Nagato walked past it unconsciously. When he turned around, he came to a cave.
Perhaps the children in the village had come to this place to explore when they were young. However, Saburo Nagato, who had established a goal since childhood, had been working hard to train himself since he was a child. He had never let himself relax for a day.
The entrance of the cave behind the shrine had a ban put down by the shrine. Saburo Nagato was curious. With the young man's temperament, he went into the cave without hesitation. He gradually walked in and vaguely heard the sound of water flowing. There should be a water source in this cave.
There was indeed a water source. It was a naturally formed pool. When Saburo Nagato saw this pool, he thought that the water here should be cold.
So, does the person washing her body here at this time also feel cold? The woman washing her long hair in the water lowered her head. Under the illumination of the lit oil fire, it was like a painting.
They met here.
In the water, she had already noticed Saburo Nagato's arrival. Her face was slightly red, and she covered her body with both hands. She completely sank into the water, revealing only her face.
Saburo Nagato watched obsessively. He suddenly realized that the marriage arranged by his brother was very good.
Saburo Nagato turned around.
However, he said that he had no intention of breaking in. Even so, he would never forget this scene in his life.
Under the woman's surprised gaze, Saburo Nagato left the cave with spring water without looking back. However, it did not mean that they would never meet again.
The next day, Saburo Nagato came again, but he did not go anywhere. He just stood quietly in front of the shrine for a long time. Haru Narukami did not come out. It was not until late at night that Saburo Nagato left.
Another day, Saburo Nagato came again. Almost at the same time, he stood quietly until the moon set before leaving.
Day after day, the wind and rain were slanted, and the sun was in the sky. The wind and rain did not change.
"Saburo sama, you don't have to do this. Haru is your wife, and she will not blame you." The gate of the shrine finally opened one day.
"I finally see you." Saburo Nagato smiled slightly and turned to leave. "I will come again tomorrow."
Tomorrow came, and the day after, the wind and rain did not change. Saburo Nagato began to wave the wooden sword in his hand in front of the shrine hall, while Haru Narukami was cleaning the courtyard.
There was prosperity in spring, fish in summer, wild geese in autumn, and snow in winter. During the long stone steps leading to the shrine, the days passed just like that.
The next year, Saburo Nagato married Haru Narukami. It happened to be the day when cherry blossoms bloomed.
Time passed quickly for newlyweds.
The Nagato family also began to build a new house.
The head of the Nagato family was still Nagato Munechika. Shinji Nagato, who had reached the age of learning, also began to practice the secret of the Nagato family's swordsmanship under the guidance of Nagato Munechika.
…
The news of the war that broke out outside was passed to Unripe Rice Village by the traveling merchants passing by. Saburo Nagato suddenly came in front of Nagato Munechika.
He looked at his brother but found that the white hair on his brother's temples seemed to be less. Is it just an illusion? His brother's complexion did not seem to be good.
"Are you going to make a name for yourself?" Nagato Munechika was guiding Shinji Nagato's practice. When he heard the words, he waved his hand and let the young Shinji Nagato leave.
"Yes, only by making a name for myself on the battlefield can I become a true samurai."
Nagato Munechika walked to the place where the weapons were placed, reached out, picked up a katana, and threw it in front of Saburo Nagato. The katana had not been sharpened yet. At the same time, Nagato Munechika also picked up the katana that had not been sharpened yet.
"If you defeat me, I will allow you to leave, and I will fund you to bring your family to the battlefield." Nagato Munechika was always indifferent, "But if you lose, you have to promise me one condition. Otherwise, this matter will be treated as if it never happened. "
"Brother, you can't always maintain your peak state." Saburo Nagato did not hesitate and picked up the katana directly.
Even as a newlywed, he had never slacked off in practicing swordsmanship. He even let Haru Narukami guard the empty room when he practiced until late at night.
One sword. Nagato Munechika's sword exceeded Saburo Nagato's imagination. Saburo Nagato could hardly hold the unsharpened katana in his hand.
"You can't beat me." Nagato Munechika was like an insurmountable mountain.
For Saburo Nagato, it had always been like this.
Just one move … I can only resist one move? All these years of hard work … Is it so cheap?
"No!" Saburo Nagato raised the katana again and staked everything on one throw!
Two moves. This time, Saburo Nagato resisted two moves from Nagato Munechika, but it was not something to be happy about. His katana had been swept to the ground. At the same time, there was a bright red bloodstain on his wrist.
Saburo Nagato covered his wound in pain and looked at his brother in horror. The katana was sharpened, but it was so sharp!
"You secretly learned the profound meaning." Nagato Munechika snorted coldly.
"I … I didn't!"
Nagato Munechika sneered and said, "I teach Shinji every day. Do you think I don't know that you are hiding and secretly learning? San Lang, if it weren't for the fact that you're my younger brother, I would've chopped off your palm with that sword strike just now, making you unable to wield a blade for the rest of your life, just based on the crime of secretly learning the secret technique without permission! "
"Brother, I … I …" Saburo Nagato knelt on the ground in horror. "Brother, I am more suitable to learn the Nagato family's profound meaning swordsmanship than Shinji! Please let me become a real samurai! "
"Send Narukami Haru to me."
"What?!"
Nagato Munechika put down the katana and said calmly, "Send your wife to me. I can teach you the profound meaning of the profound meaning and support you to join the battlefield to make contributions and become a samurai."
"Nagato Munechika!!! How dare you!! "
"Don't forget that you secretly learned it."
Nagato Munechika left indifferently, "Only tonight."
…
After the beginning of spring, Saburo Nagato led ten people to the battlefield under the congratulations of the villagers expressionlessly.
In the same year, Chizuko Nagato was born.
In a few years, Saburo Nagato only came back a few times and left in a hurry.
Chizuko Nagato was already six years old. Narukami Haru died of illness. After that, Saburo Nagato returned to Nagato's house alone to recuperate.
"Sure enough, you are just a coward." Nagato Munechika seemed to know everything, "From now on, you will stay like a stray dog. You can't go anywhere with your deserter body."
"Yes."
…
…
Saburo Nagato in front of him seemed to think that he was in a dream. He looked at Narukami Haru in the cage, repenting what he had done little by little.
"Death … is too terrifying." His face was pale as he recalled what happened on the battlefield, "Someone's intestines were hanging on my body, and someone's head flew to me. I was buried in the corpses until the night. It seemed that there were countless resentful spirits around me. I couldn't feel any warmth. After returning to Nagato's house, I couldn't even pick up the sword once. Not even once. "
"I don't dare to face you …" Saburo Nagato said painfully, "Haru … I took what you exchanged from your brother, but I failed to achieve anything. In the end, I could only escape back to this place. Maybe I should die, but I don't even have the courage to die. "
His voice was not loud, but in this quiet dungeon, it was enough for Zixing and Mo Xiaofei, who were hiding, to hear it clearly. The reason why Narukami Haru was imprisoned here for dying of illness was that she suddenly went crazy and planned to tell others about the deal made by Saburo Nagato and Nagato Munechika.
Those secrets that everyone might have known for a long time, but they didn't say it. Everyone inside and outside the aristocratic family knew everything, but they couldn't be so straightforward.
"My brother said that he won't kill you, but he won't let you see anyone. I, I don't even have the courage to resist." Saburo Nagato closed his eyes, "Once is fine. Even if it's just a dream, once is fine. Let me have the courage … Ah!!!"
Saburo Nagato roared.
"Chang! Men! Zong! Near! I! No! Am! Coward! Fu! "
He took a deep look at Narukami Haru again, "Haru! I will bring Nagato Munechika's head to see you! "
Turning around and running, this man who thought he was in a dream had the courage to do so.
Before Saburo Nagato went crazy, Zixing pulled Mo Xiaofei and hid again, not letting Saburo Nagato find them until he walked all the way out of the dungeon.
Mo Xiaofei and Zixing were silent.
After a long time, Zixing said calmly, "This time, time doesn't seem to be reset."
Mo Xiaofei glanced at Tsuruko Nagato sadly. What Saburo Nagato did was very depressing, and he couldn't even be called a man.
It was just that this kind of thing, even in the real world outside the movie, had always been common. Even in this civilized society, it seemed that …
"She should have resisted Saburo Nagato …" Mo Xiaofei said quietly.
"In your male-dominated society?" Zixing sneered.
Mo Xiaofei took a deep breath, but he silently recited the scripture that Zixing gave him in his heart.
"Saburo Nagato thought that he was still in a drunken dream. He was too excited. Maybe he will really deal with Nagato Munechika. "Zixing frowned suddenly.
Mo Xiaofei suddenly raised his head at this moment. He stretched out his hand and grabbed toward the wall next to him. He grabbed a torch directly into his hand, "My power … is back!"
…
…
The cherry tree suddenly fell a lot. Countless cherry blossoms fell from the sky like a rain of flowers.
"Boss!"
Taisetsu appeared on a hillside.
At this time, Boss Luo looked alone in the distance. After hearing Taisetsu's voice, he turned around.
Taisetsu pulled his clothes at this time, then sniffed again. He just took two steps forward, then he seemed to remember something and took two steps back.
"What's wrong?" Luoqiu looked at Taisetsu's action curiously.
"Nothing … I'm dirty!"
Luoqiu was taken aback, then nodded, "Where is You Ye?"
"She should be back soon. She said she was dealing with some things." Taisetsu didn't dare to say that Miss Maid was going to wash up now.
Luoqiu shook his head, smiled, and suddenly said, "Taisetsu, let me ask you a question."
"Okay, ask away!"
