Jianming Chaos

Chapter 232 The Soul of the Samurai

"The helmet of the ghost warrior? Then follow this clue to find out the identity of the opponent?" Zhiming's eyes lit up.

"Not necessarily, because as far as I know, there are three vassal clans with this mark, and I'm not sure which one it is." Shang Qi seems to be familiar with this aspect.

When Zhiming heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, uncle, why do you have such a warrior attire at home? Could it be..."

Shangzaki hesitated for a moment, nodded in a small but obvious way, and said, "Yes, you should have guessed it, I used to be a samurai."

"What?!" Zhiming looked astonished, unbelievable. He originally thought that Shang Qi's ancestors were samurai, "Uncle, you used to be a samurai? Didn't you say that you have been fishing here for more than 20 years?"

"What? Don't believe it?" Shangzaki smiled, and said something in Yidu to his wife sideways.

Sachiko went into the inner room and took out a samurai sword that had been dusty for a long time, and handed it to her husband.

Shangzaki stepped aside and blew it away in one breath. The dust on the samurai sword was instantly like an activated hornet's nest, and the hornets swarmed out and flew around in the air.

Shang Qi slapped his hands in front of his eyes a few times, and after driving away the dust, he took out a third of the blade from the scabbard, and said, "This is my favorite knife—Steel Soul. Evidence of the samurai."

Zhiming tapped the blade lightly with his fingertips, and he could tell from the sound that it was a samurai sword with a soul; he could even feel the scene of the owner of this sword killing people like hemp on the battlefield back then.

"I was a killer in the shadow alliance, a little-known feudal samurai group in Yidu." Shangzaki retracted his knife and said shocking words.

"What? This seemingly frail uncle was actually a killer among warriors back then?!" Zhiming suddenly felt that this world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where masters live among the people.

"My original name is Yamada Yabe, and I am fifty-three this year. When I was 17 years old, my parents died and I had nowhere to go, so I had to join an assassination organization - the Shadow Alliance. After three years of special training, I I became a super killer in the organization. My main task is to assassinate important officials in other hostile clans." Shangzaki looked at Oita with a contradictory look full of nostalgia but couldn't bear to face it, and said.

Zhiming listened intently to this foreign master's reminiscence history. Although he was not sure whether what the other party said had anything to do with his mission, it didn't hurt to listen more.Clues are extracted from this seemingly irrelevant bit by bit.

"It was a bloody history, and the cruelty was beyond your imagination. In order to complete the tasks entrusted by the organization, I killed countless people and became an executioner in troubled times. I can still vividly see the eyes of those people before they died. Execution against my will After completing the mission for seven years, I suddenly realized that I had committed a lot of crimes and could no longer continue to kill people, so I resolutely put down the butcher knife, found an opportunity to escape from the organization, and came here to become a fisherman incognito. This has been more than 20 years The organization and the hostile faction have sent people around to track down my whereabouts, but they have not been found. They thought that I had disappeared from the world, and then gave up the pursuit." When Shangzaki said this, circles appeared on his face The wrinkles of the vicissitudes of life, like the waves of the sea, rise and fall, making people unable to calm down for a long time.

Zhiming didn't expect that the seemingly powerless uncle in front of him turned out to be a combination of warrior, killer, fugitive and fisherman.That being the case, some useful clues should be obtained from him.

Thinking of this, Zhiming said: "I really didn't expect that, uncle, you still hide your secrets, and I admire you deeply. Then why did you tell me this? Aren't you afraid that I will spread the word?"

"From your eyes, I can see what kind of person you are. If my judgment is wrong, I will admit it." Shangzaki answered him in a firm tone.

Zhiming nodded, and continued to ask: "Then what are the three clans with the mark of the evil spirit warrior that you mentioned just now?"

Shangzaki thought for a while and said, "The Kano clan, the Ito-gumi, and the Onimu clan."

"Can you write it down for me? I want to write it down." Zhiming was afraid that he might not be able to remember.

Shang Qi took him outside the house and wrote the names of the three feudal clans on the sand with a twig.

Zhiming remembered everything in his heart, and asked again: "Ito group? Isn't it called 'clan'?"

"Some vassal clans are named after 'groups', so there is no need to delve into that. At present, as long as you can determine which vassal clan the soldiers who met here back then belong to, you should be able to determine where the person you are looking for is. However, Things are unpredictable, after all, ten years have passed. However, according to my intuition, she must be by the side of a certain clan leader." Shang Qi said with certainty.

"Where is the nearest city from here?"

"City? Oh, the title here is 'vassal land', which is equivalent to the city of the Han Dynasty, but the area is much smaller."

"Sweet potato field? That's an interesting name." Zhiming misunderstood again.

"It's a vassal land!" Shang Qi wrote it again with a twig, and said, "Don't interrupt. The nearest vassal land is called Chiweijing. It's about ten miles away from here, not far away. I can take you there later."

"Uncle, is it convenient for you?" Zhiming was afraid of delaying his business.

"It's convenient, but it won't be until the afternoon. I have to go to work first. At that time, Moritaro and I will transport the fish we catch to the seafood market in Chiweijing to sell in exchange for Yicoins. Yicoins are the common currency of Yidu Kingdom. "Shang Qi knew that he would ask, so he simply said it in advance.

"Great, with you leading the way, we should be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" Zhiming was extremely excited.

"It's not called leading the way. We have to go there almost every day to make a living. There is no way." Shangzaki told Sachiko to take care of Zhiming at home, and then asked his eldest son Moritaro to go fishing together.

Xingzi could tell that she was a very virtuous and caring woman. She was about forty years old. She took good care of the whole family so that her husband could work with peace of mind.

Zhiming is very envious of the men in this country. They basically don't have to worry about family affairs, and can make money to support their families without worrying about it.Unknowingly, he thought of Xuechan again.

"I don't know how she is now? Will she still think of me?" Zhiming knew that she had recovered her memory, and he was not sure whether he and her would have a future.

Suddenly, he remembered what the old fairy had said before he left, and he couldn't help worrying: "The old fairy said, I will lose a loved one, doesn't he mean her? From the last time, she has some physical problems, I don't know Can Tianfeng find someone to cure her? If it's not about her, then who is it? Master? Sister?"

After these questions arose, Zhiming became unable to calm down, so he walked out of the house and went to the beach to take a breath.He saw that Shang Qi and his son were about to set sail for the sea, and everything seemed to be at their fingertips.

"I can't stay here overnight, I don't have time, I must find Cai Wenji as soon as possible, and then return to Dahan! I still have a lot of things to do!" Zhiming made a decision immediately.

At noon, Zhiming enjoyed a sumptuous seafood meal under the hospitality of Shangzaki's family.He felt very happy and satisfied.He felt that Shangzaki's family were honest and honest, they could open up their hearts without a bottom line, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty - he had lied to the other party before, saying that he came here by boat.

In the afternoon, after everything was ready, Zhiming planned to tell Shang Qi the truth.He said: "I decided not to spend the night here tonight. I have to find someone as soon as possible and take her back."

Shang Qi was taken aback, and asked, "Do you think you can find her in half a day?"

"No, but I don't want to burden you. After all, I'm an outsider, so it's not convenient to live here." Zhiming found a suitable reason.

"Don't worry about this, there is no problem of inconvenience." Shang Qi signaled him not to worry, "However, it's up to you to decide. Anyway, you are welcome to come to my house at any time; of course, as long as you don't dislike it."

What Zhiming wanted to say, Shang Qi hurried into the inner room, took out his favorite sword "Steel Soul", handed it to Zhiming, and said: "You still lack a weapon, use mine first. Because of my status back then It is special, so the weapon that the organization gave me is also specially made. This knife looks the same as ordinary knives, but it is sharper. custody."

Zhiming took the sword carefully, and said flattered, "This...isn't that good? This is your favorite sword."

"What are you talking about? I just lent it to you, not giving it to you." Shang Qi said with a smile, "You want it, but I can't bear it! I'm just worried that you don't have weapons and it's hard to do things."

Hearing what he said, Zhiming's heart felt at ease, and he said, "Thank you, uncle. After finishing the matter, I will definitely return it to you in its original form."

"Okay, Moritaro, get in the car, let's go." Shang Qi asked the eldest son and Zhiming to get on the carriage.

Zhiming took the rucksack that Sachiko had prepared for him, which contained his clothes that hadn't dried yet, and bowed deeply to Shangzaki's family to express his gratitude.

The carriage set off, and Moritaro was in charge of driving. Shangzaki and Zhiming sat in the carriage, and behind them were all kinds of fresh fish that were packed and sold in the market.

On the way, Zhiming gently pulled out the scabbard a little bit, the sunlight reflected by the blade was very dazzling, enough to see that this knife is indeed different.

"Actually, I really want to ask, did Shi Lingzheng know that you were a killer? How did she accept you?" Zhiming asked curiously.

Shangzaki glanced at the back of his son who was concentrating on driving, and said, "It's a long story. Sachiko is a very good woman. Not only did she accept me quickly, she was also willing to help me give birth to two sons. I am very grateful to her, so I vowed to make her live happily. It is a pity that I cannot reveal my identity now, and I can only live as a fisherman for the rest of my life. She has no complaints or regrets, and this has moved me to this day."

"Women in troubled times, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, this is an unchangeable reality." Zhiming thought to himself, but didn't say it out, just said, "Actually, I am quite envious of you, even though your life is simple , but at least with a complete home, you can temporarily escape the scourge of troubled times."

"No, I didn't escape completely. Moritaro is 19 years old this year. He has reached the conscription age stipulated by the Ito Kingdom. He should have been conscripted last year. He was lucky to escape because he went fishing. I don't know when the top will come this year. Conscription, I'm not sure how long I can see him..." Shang Qi started to cry as he spoke.

Zhiming always felt that Shang Qi's experience was somewhat similar to Dabu's, but at least he could still live with his son.Zhiming thought to himself that the troubled times have caused too much suffering to the common people, and the essence of the suffering is the same whether it is a big man or another country.He even faintly thought that coming to Yidu country was not only to find Cai Wenji, but also to help this country change the war situation.Although this is not his original mission, since he descended to the world as the son of the holy sword, he has the responsibility to change this troubled world, no matter whether he holds a sword or a knife in his hand, whether he is a big man or another country.After all, this world is one of Datong.

Thinking of this, Zhiming pressed Shang Qi's shoulder hard, and said in a low-pitched but confident tone: "Don't worry, I promise you, you will not lose your son!"

Looking at the resolute and unyielding eyes of the other party, Shang Qi's eyes were moist, he put his hand on the back of Zhiming's hand, nodded vigorously, and did not say a word, because the tacit understanding between men does not need to be said.

The carriage drove into Chiwei Well, which looked like a small county town, perhaps only half the size of Xinye; it was quite popular, but the facilities were relatively backward, and there was not a single grand building.

The carriage drove to the entrance of the seafood market and stopped.A pungent fishy smell can be smelled from a distance here, but these seafood are the food that Yidu people have eaten for a long time.

Shangzaki asked Moritaro to get off the car to unload the goods first, and he would explain to Zhiming again.

"Just now on the way here, I have already told you the general situation. The vassal clan controlling Chiwei Well is called 'Nuchi Heizu', and the base is in the northeast, about three or four miles away from here. If you want to go and investigate Remember what I said, don’t rush in, let alone mess with the warriors there, especially those with red belts! Remember!”

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know that. Thank you for your kind care today. I'll go first and say goodbye." Zhiming bowed to Shangzaki and his son, and left.

Shang Qi looked at his gradually receding back and sighed.

"Father, don't worry too much, I think he will be fine." Moritaro comforted his father, "I can see that he is extraordinary in martial arts, not an ordinary person. I guess he caused the vortex in the sea."

"You don't need to say, Taro, I saw it early in the morning. When I asked him, his eyes told me. He didn't come here by boat at all. Although I don't know how he came here, this person His origins are extraordinary, and I even suspect that he is from the God Realm. I sighed just now because I saw my youthful shadow from his back. I am a killer and cannot save this troubled world; I hope his arrival, It can bring a glimmer of hope to this war-torn Ito country." Shangzaki said meaningfully.
