Is this wild warrior, asked for Wind Demon Palace!” “父亲大人！就是这名野武士,讨取了风魔殿！” On the mound of earth of not far away, went down two people at this time, is pair of fathers and sons, the wear has the warrior clothing/taking of pattern, the waist is also being hanging too the blade. 不远处的土丘上,这时走下两人,是一对父子,穿着带有花纹的武士服,腰间还悬挂着太刀。 The young people said to warrior of middle age. 年青人就对中年的武士说道。 „Un...... indeed is one has strength warrior very much, that was discovered us a moment ago absolutely......” “嗯……的确是一位很有实力的武士,刚才那一眼,绝对是发现我们了……” warrior of middle age is saying, some slightly lingering fear. 中年的武士说着,略微有些后怕。 As him who receives work from the battlefield, has sensation that is above the average man, knows the terrifying of these powerful warrior and swordsman profoundly: „Wild warrior mostly hot tempered, is easy to annoy to have an accident, therefore protects the peace of this village, is my family's Mission! Luckily he is not that person......” 作为从战场上活下来的他,拥有着超乎常人的感知,也深刻知道那些强大武士与剑客的恐怖:“野武士大多性情暴躁,容易惹出事来,因此保护这村子的安宁,就是我家的任务！幸好他不是那种人……” As this village only warrior, in fact the middle-aged person almost also held a concurrent post of village head automatically. 作为本村唯一的武士,实际上中年人差不多也就自动兼任了村长一职。 Yesterday the Wu Ming approach, naturally made him somewhat discontented. 昨日吴明的做法,自然令他有些不满。 Like this wild warrior and vagabond, often are disrupt the public security the root. 这样的野武士与浪人,往往就是扰乱治安的根源。 However is good because of the opposite party actually quite obeys the custom, and now had left, middle-aged warrior also has no intention to antagonize people. 不过好在对方却颇为守规矩,并且现在已经离开了,中年武士也就无意树敌。 ‚The most important thing is......, if really begins, he can cut to kill me inevitably and others......’ ‘最重要的是……若是真的动手,他必然可以斩杀我等啊……’ Middle-aged warrior is looking at the journey end, the back that vanishes, supplemented one at heart silently. 中年武士望着路途尽头,那消失的背影,心里默默地补充了一句。 ...... …… Numata City is very small. 沼田城很小。 To be honest, after Wu Ming first sees, gives his feeling is actually somewhat disappointed. 说实话,吴明第一眼见到之后,给予他的感觉却是有些失望。 After all, that low city wall, and sparse population, comes compared with Great Zhou Peaceful Cloud County, really missed several stairs. 毕竟,那低矮的城墙,以及稀疏的人口,比起大周的云平县来,实在差了好几个台阶。 „...... Urban construction in summit, actually easily guarded, hard to attack, fully explained the situation confusion......” “不过……将城建在山顶,倒是易守难攻,也足以说明局势的混乱啊……” Enters the city with Goro together, Wu Ming is actually sighing woefully at heart. 与五郎一起入城,吴明心里却是哀叹着。 In this all the way, he ran into 34 waves of robbers continually, some warrior clothing/taking does not even daunt with too the blade, is the savage numerous, but also wants to hunt his warrior. 在这一路上,他一连遇到了三四波劫匪,有的甚至连身上的武士服与太刀都吓不住,乃是野人众,还想狩猎他这个武士。 Although was tidied up finally neatly and quickly by him, but also quite wastes the time. 虽然结果都是被他三下五除二地收拾掉,但也颇为浪费时间。 But the robber on beforehand village and road, this cultivates in summit Numata City, makes him profoundly understand, this Izumo Province, is in the fearful tumultuous times! 而之前的村子、路上的劫匪,还有这修在山顶的沼田城,都让他深刻地认识到,这个出云国,正处于可怕的乱世！ „Sir!

But I am also only a vagabond...... follow I, what advantage also there is?” “哦？你想做我的家臣？可我也只是一个浪人而已啊……跟着我,又有什么好处呢？” Wu Ming holds appreciatively liquor, the faint smile is asking. 吴明把玩着酒盏,似笑非笑地问道。 „Because I want to become warrior! Please teach my skill in Wushu military tactics!” “因为我想成为武士！请你传授我武艺兵法！” Goro will hide in the idea of own heart loudly said. 五郎大声将隐藏在自己内心深处的想法说了出来。 „What haha...... I heard, under people, but also thinks, when warrior?” “哈哈……我听到了什么,一个下民,还想当武士？” Entire izakaya, suddenly one static, at once laughs loudly. 整个居酒屋,蓦然一静,旋即轰然大笑。 Hē the drunken vagabond, walked, feels the hair of Goro: „Are you bloody fool? The son of farmer, should obediently farm is!” 一名喝得醉醺醺的浪人,就走了过来,摸着五郎的头发:“你是大傻瓜么？农夫的儿子,就应该乖乖去种田就是！” Saying, but also the provocation shot a look at Wu Ming one, especially looks at his lunar white warrior clothing/taking, and blade of too waist, on the face brings a trace to be greedy. 说着,还挑衅地瞥了吴明一眼,特别是看着他的月白色武士服,以及腰间的太刀,脸上就带着一丝贪婪。 „The say/way of warrior, inevitably along with slaughtering and dying, life such as in the wind the oriental cherry, will scatter momentarily, did you complete this consciousness?” “武士之道,必然伴随着杀戮与死亡,生命如风中樱花,随时都会飘散,你做好这种觉悟了么？” Wu Ming drinks the liquor completely, stares at the eye of Goro saying that the body emits an ice-cold imposing manner suddenly. 吴明一口将酒饮尽,盯着五郎的眼睛说道,身上忽然冒出一股冰冷的气势。 „I...... I......” “我……我……” Goro stares dumbfounded, cold sweat a little bit flows off from the frontal eminence, only thought that a big terrifying comes, closely grasped firmly his heart, making him unable to speak completely. 五郎瞠目结舌,冷汗一滴滴从额角流下,只觉得一股大恐怖汹涌而来,紧紧地攥住了他的心房,令他完全说不出话来。 Bang! 砰！ That drunken warrior of provocation, is actually the first even/including backing up several steps, falls in an extremely difficult situation on the ground, does not dare to look at Wu Ming unexpectedly, flees to the wilderness. 挑衅的那名醉醺醺的武士,却是一连倒退数步,狼狈不堪地摔在地上,竟然再也不敢看吴明,落荒而逃。 „This is a vagabond who has powerful Sword Technique and Murderous Qi!” “这是一名有着强大剑术与杀气的浪人！” In a flash, the people in all izakaya, flash through a thought at heart, looks has panic-stricken and worship to the eye of Wu Ming. 一瞬间,所有居酒屋内的人,心里都是闪过一个念头,望向吴明的眼睛中就带着惊恐与崇拜。 Regardless in when where, can eliminate other similar life great strength recklessly, was awed inevitably. 无论在何时何地,能肆意剥夺其它同类生命的强大者,必然受到敬畏。 „It seems like you did not have this consciousness...... to be very regrettable!” “看来你还没有这个觉悟……很遗憾！” Wu Ming looks at Goro that the half of the day could not speak, is saying by the tranquil sound. 吴明看了半天都说不出话来的五郎,以平静的声音说着。 „warrior life, such as in wind oriental cherry, good! Very good!” “武士生命,如风中樱花,好！很好！” At this time, youth warrior that on another table, sits alone stood up suddenly, in the liquor the cup tossed down, arrives in front of Wu Ming: „warrior, draws out your blade, reports again your name!” 这个时候,另外一张桌子上,独自坐着的一名青年武士忽然站起,将杯中酒一饮而尽,来到吴明面前:“武士,拔出你的刀来,再报出你的名字！” „Can you with my duel?” “你是要跟我决斗么？” The eye of Wu Ming narrows the eyes slightly. 吴明的眼睛微微眯起。 This youth warrior, gives his others in feeling and izakaya is different, the body as if brings extremely sharp aura, specializes in Powerhouse of swordsmanship. 这名青年武士,给他的感觉与居酒屋内的其余人都不一样,身上似乎带着一股极为锋锐的气息,乃是专修剑道的强者。 At this time looks at Destiny again, Internal Luck pure white, very obviously was Rank 2 Powerhouse. 此时再看气运,内运纯白,很显然乃是一名二级的强者了。 At his age, simply is the talent! 以他的年纪而言,简直就是天才！ „, My named Hasegawa Saemon, what study is not reads flows Sword Technique, is conducting ‚blade hunts’ cultivation, by your Murderous Qi, becomes my opponent sufficiently!” “正是,我名为长谷川左卫门,学习的乃是无念流剑术,目前正在进行‘刀狩’的修行,以你的杀气,足以成为我的对手！” This youth swordsman is saying loudly. 这青年剑客就大声说着。 Hears this saying, avoided a piece of alcoholic automatically, calls out in alarm in abundance: „Unexpectedly is ‚Menkyo Kaiden’ Swordsman! At his age, will certainly become to move Sword Brave of country in the future!” 听到这话,原本自动躲开一片的酒客,更是纷纷惊叫起来:“居然是‘免许皆传’的剑士！以他的年纪,将来一定会成为名动一国之剑豪的！” Although this world swordsmanship the school is numerous, but the gradation is actually same. 此世剑道虽然流派众多,但分级却是相同。 From the beginning does obeisance the Entering the Dao field to study at school, is only an apprentice, is called Sword Apprentice, is equivalent Rank 1 that Wu Ming delimits. 一开始拜入道场修业的,只是学徒,称为剑生,相当于吴明划定的一级。 But so-called Menkyo Kaiden, the meaning learned all techniques of some designated school, obtaining qualifications that can tell others the school name, this swordsman, is called ‚Swordsman’, can fully a person of sword, being a worthy opponent several and even ten several warrior, even alone the punitive expedition monster ghost, is the talent who the given names must gather, in the division of Wu Ming, was Rank 2 Expert(s). 而所谓的免许皆传,意思是学到了某特指流派的所有技法,获得可以告诉别人自己流派名字的资格,此种剑客,称为‘剑士’,足可以一人一剑,匹敌数名乃至十数名武士,甚至独自讨伐妖鬼,乃是大名们都要招揽的人才,在吴明的划分中,就是二级高手了。 As for again behind ‚Sword Brave’? This is equivalent to Martial Path Great Grandmaster general existence, Rank 3 Expert(s)! The name moves a country sufficiently, making the great king monarch sovereign want the ritual respect. 至于再后面的‘剑豪’？这可是相当于武道大宗师一般的存在,三级高手！足以名动一国,令大名国主都要礼敬。 Naturally, present Wu Ming has not been clear about this division, but the Heavenly Eye result, own induction, told him clearly, this Hasegawa Saemon swordsmanship cultivation base, but must surpass his Martial Path to plan. 当然,现在的吴明还不清楚这个划分,但天眼的结果,还有自身的感应,却是明明白白地告诉了他,这个长谷川左卫门的剑道修为,还要超过他的武道一筹。 ‚This Japan Sword Technique, as if also has the good point, this anything ‚ Menkyo Kaiden’ Swordsman, was actually is equivalent to Great Zhou mor­tal body 9th Layer, Extreme Transformation Expert(s)...... that Wind Demon Palace bear Jing, could not block his sword! ’ ‘这扶桑的剑术,似乎也有着可取之处,这个什么‘免许皆传’的剑士,却是相当于大周肉身九重,极变的高手了……那头风魔殿熊精,也挡不住他一剑！’ Wu Ming is thinking at heart lightly, shoves open Goro, drew out the warrior blade. 吴明心里淡淡想着,推开五郎,也拔出了武士刀。 This is not the peace age, once rejects the duel, the reputation ruins thoroughly at the same time, the opposite party disregards, can cut to kill directly. 这可不是什么和平年代,一旦拒绝决斗,名声彻底败坏还是一方面,对方可是不管不顾,直接可以斩杀过来的。 Wu Ming detected opposite party Murderous Qi of profoundly. 吴明就深刻地察觉到了对方身上的杀气。 „Vagabond...... sent out your name!” “浪人……报出你的名字！” Hasegawa Saemon both hands hold the blade, the under foot steady like Mt. Tai, the sinking sound is saying. 长谷川左卫门双手持刀,脚下稳如泰山,沉声说着。
