Overgod Ascension

"my name……"

Wu Ming felt depressed for a moment. This is a real battle for fame. Unfortunately, his background is not clean, but his face showed disdain: "You don't deserve to hear about it..."

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Hasegawa Zaemon, who was opposite, had a look of insult in his eyes, but his face became colder and immovable like a mountain.

Between warriors, during duels, all kinds of military techniques are used to the extreme. This simple verbal provocation, while enraging him, can only make him more calm.

Without this kind of practice, he would not be alive now.

The two slowly looked at each other, and a cold and fierce aura began to envelope the surroundings, causing cold sweat to break out on Goro's forehead again.

I don't know how long I waited, Hasegawa Zaemon yelled, and slashed out with a sword!

Ding!

The light of thunder and fire flashed on Wu Ming's sword, and it also cut out.

There was a crisp sound when the swords collided, and immediately, a cloud of blood burst out from Hasegawa Zaemon's body.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this...?"

He fell to the ground, but there was a pure curiosity in his eyes.

"No name... If I had to choose one, it would be Fenglei Jianliu..."

Wu Ming put the saber back into its sheath slowly. In terms of real martial arts, he is no better than a foreigner, but this person is equivalent to a master of extreme transformation.

It's a pity that I integrated the five thunder talismans into the way of swordsmanship, and struck with the wind and thunder, adding Taoism and martial arts, and the power went straight to the third level. This warrior died unjustly!

"Wind Thunder Sword... Unfortunately... I failed in my cultivation..."

Hasegawa Zaemon's mouth overflowed with blood, and he died.

"Let's go!"

Wu Ming threw down a silver sentence and immediately pulled Goro away.

Although there are regulations, fair duels between samurai are protected by law, and murder in the city will not be prosecuted.

Of course, it doesn't matter if relatives and friends seek revenge afterwards.

Naturally, Wu Ming wasn't too afraid of revenge from the Wu Nianliu dojo behind Hasegawa, but the crux of the problem was...he was not a warrior at all! ! !

If you get blocked, should you just fight all the way out? Not to mention too much impact, all plans will be ruined.

'identity! The top priority is to get an identity! '

Wu Ming pulled Goro and quickly turned into the corner of the alley, looking at groups of ashigaru soldiers running past, but thinking depressingly in his heart.

...

"Let's go!"

Although he killed someone, after turning two streets and coming out, Wu Ming still looked calm and unhurried.

Even the moon-white samurai uniform was not stained with blood.

At this time, I asked Goro to take him to the commercial town and into a leather shop.

The shop is open, and the inside is very bright. There are furs hanging on the surrounding walls. Behind the shop, a small workshop can be seen faintly. More than a dozen Fenggong people are working hard, as if they are sewing. The armor is adequate for the job.

"Kanbenrou! Kanbenrou!"

Goro saw a young-looking Feng Gong who was less than twenty years old, and immediately went up to say hello: "Long time no see!"

"Well, it's Goro!"

Kanben Lang held a bamboo armor: "What's the matter?"

"I brought an adult to sell a fur, come and see..."

Goro deliberately emphasized the accent on the word "adult", feeling a little proud of himself. After all, Kanbenrou, a friend, has been doing Fenggong for a long time, and recently it was rumored that he would be promoted, which immediately made him feel a little jealous.

"oh?"

Surprised, Kanmotoro came to the store, saw Wu Ming, and the samurai uniform and sword on his body. Before looking at the goods, he solemnly saluted:

"My lord, I'm sorry that I can't entertain you, I'll go find the boss right away!"

"Um!"

Wu Ming nodded noncommittally. He had no expectation of anyone Goro would know, but now it seems that he is just a low-level handyman. Now that he comes by himself, he has to send someone at the level of the store manager to entertain him.

"Ah... this is the best bear skin!"

The head of the store, or the manager of the store, is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and a kind face. When he saw this fur, he was dumbfounded: "What kind of strength does such a huge bear need?" , to be able to kill him with one blow?"

"how?"

Wu Ming was sitting on the tatami at this time, but he was not in a hurry, letting the other party check over and over again.

"Dear samurai, your fur is worth at least twenty guan, no, thirty guan!"

The middle-aged Fanchang didn't say a word. He already knew that the fur was peeled off from Fengmo Temple. Such a powerful monster's skin is very welcome, no matter the name of the samurai family, or the priests and Yin Yang families. It can be sold for fifty guan!

"Thirty guan, um...that's it, there is one more thing..."

Just as Wu Ming was about to say something, he saw a Feng Gong rushing in and whispering something in Fan Zhang's ear.

"My master, I want to see you!"

After listening to this long speech, his complexion changed even more, but he put his hands on the ground and bowed solemnly: "Please be sure to give me credit!"

"Oh? Then go!"

This kind of big businessman often has the shadow of daimyo and other forces behind him, and the influence is also great, Wu Ming said immediately.

Led by Ban Zhang, the group left the commercial town and walked outside a house.

"This is the master's guest!"

The house was quite big, and there were two guards inside, which made Wu Ming nod his head slightly, and his evaluation rose a little.

"Goro, you wait here!"

Immediately, under the leadership of Fan Zhang, he walked into the gate, and Goro behind him could only watch this scene silently with envious eyes.

On the tatami mats in the hall, a businessman in a black kimono was already waiting while drinking tea.

Seeing Wu Ming, his eyes lit up, he got up and bowed and said, "It's the first time we meet, my name is Naito Takasho, and I am a royal businessman who serves the Yamada family!"

"I'm a ronin now, as for my name, just call me Luckily!"

Wu Ming's answer obviously changed Naito Takamashi's face.

‘Such a powerful swordsman doesn’t have the blood of a warrior? '

In this world, commoners, farmers, or ordinary people have very little hope of being promoted, but it is not impossible.

For example, if someone like Goro learns real swordsmanship and seeks refuge with a daimyo, he might be promoted to a samurai.

Naito Takamashi obviously also regarded Wu Ming as the lucky one who had obtained military power, but the news he got before and the proof of Fumo Temple were still enough to win his respect.

"Please sit down!"

The two of them knelt down on the tatami, and on the coffee table in front of them was a dark red tea set.

Just as Naito Takamashi was about to say something, he suddenly held his breath, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

"Why don't you have a cup of tea first?"

Wu Ming asked with a faint smile, his face turned solemn again, and he took the tea set.

Just in an instant, a sense of the unity of heaven, earth and man, full of mysterious and mysterious Zen, filled the room.

Naito Ryuchang saw Wu Ming's eyes were transparent and clear, making and stirring tea in an orderly manner, and his movements were like flowing water, so he couldn't help muttering: "Sit and forget?"

"Zhuangzi The Great Master" has a saying: "Break down the limbs, depose the intelligence, leave the form and go to the knowledge, the same as the Datong, this is called sitting and forgetting."

However, in the tea ceremony, this refers to a method of achieving tranquility of "going to the extreme of emptiness and keeping quiet".

When drinking tea and making tea, the heart is like still water, and the mental state of "clearing the mind and taste", "fitting with nature" and "accommodating all things in the heart" is achieved. So as to get back to the basics and get back to the truth, completely liberate one's mind, get the mysterious meaning of quietness, tranquility, loneliness, and inaction, as if you are fused with the universe and sublimated to the state of "understanding me"!

But this kind of tea ceremony can already be called a master. Even if I am a well-informed person who has traveled the entire continent and only seen it once in Jieding, how could it appear on the young man in front of him now?

"please!"

At this point, the first bowl of tea was already in front of me.

"I'm sorry!"

Naito Takamashi wiped his eyes, and bathed in the baptism of emptiness in a pilgrimage-like gesture.

The fragrance of tea melted into a cold straight line when he entered his stomach, making him feel like every pore was opened, and man and Zen were integrated into one.

The second bowl of tea was full of warmth, and it brought him back from the previous state unconsciously, and he felt the joy of life again.

But the third bowl of tea was only a small cup, and it was boiling hot, which finally made his thoughts completely return to his body.

"Life? Death? Human world? This is the tea that contains the life and death of a samurai..."

Naito Takamasa said in surprise.

At this time, the previous speculation in his heart had been completely overturned.

Even if an ordinary countryman can practice peerless bravery, he can't learn the elegance and essence contained in his bones.

‘This lord...could it be the descendant of a certain Duke’s family who failed in the struggle? '

This kind of thought immediately popped up in his mind, and he never dared to neglect Wu Ming again.

"I don't know what is the plan of Mr. Lucky Help?"

Naito Takamasa put his hands on the ground and asked with a respectful and humble gesture.

"Plan? I'm traveling around now. By the way, I will help the villagers fight the ghosts and get paid!"

Wu Ming said casually: "After Izumo travels, maybe I will go south to see the south..."

"In that case..."

Naito Longchang said: "Why don't you come out of the official family? My Lord Hu Shenggong has a stone height of 12,000 stone! He is also a famous feudal lord in Izumo Kingdom, and he will definitely welcome young talents like you. Fame and knowledge and practice are not dreams either... It may be difficult to bestow knowledge and practice at the beginning, but it is not impossible to discuss..."

"You don't need to talk about it, Mr. Longchang!"

Wu Ming waved his hands and looked at the big businessman in front of him.

Obviously, the other party really wanted to win him over for the master. Is this the so-called loyal retainer?

"I'm really sorry, I don't intend to be an official!"

If you really become an official in the Yamada family, although you may be given the name and knowledge of the family immediately, the restrictions you will be subject to are quite large, and Wu Ming will naturally not agree.

"Ah! That's a pity..."

Naito's disappointment was palpable. (To be continued.)
