my weird life.

Chapter 438 Qing Ji (22)

In the front hall,

Kabuki plays musical instruments and dances gracefully in the hall.

The respected guests sat reservedly behind each table, chatting in low voice with their familiar friends, and occasionally toasted for a drink.

The atmosphere here seems to be warm and deserted everywhere.

What separates everyone is the strict class and the rules hidden under the water.

Su Wu sat in the corner, enjoying the delicious food and wine alone, but he was content.

Earlier Minamoto Yoritomo came over and said a few words, then went back to his seat and continued to chat and laugh with his familiar friends.

"I heard that there is a place called Geye outside the capital. There was a small nobleman whose family was struggling to make ends meet. Most of the farmland under his family was deprived by the surrounding nobles. The family suffered from hunger every day...

Because the courtyard of his house is close to a dilapidated Zen temple with little incense,

Little nobles often go to practice in Zen temples,
Over time, I learned a method of starvation from a Zen temple.

He held a hot stone in his arms and warmed his abdomen with the heat of the stone, so the hunger was greatly reduced!
The little nobleman introduced this method of starvation into his own house,
gave it a nickname,
But for 'kaiseki cuisine'!
It means that people can understand the true taste of food only when they are in a very short period of hunger, and even rarer food is hard to come by..."

"Hahaha……

I don't know if ordinary people who are used to "kaiseki cuisine" will forget the original taste of food when they see a table of delicacies in front of them? "

"The common people are the common people,
If you can't afford to eat, you say you can't afford to eat,

Why do you want to give the name of elegance to the food you can't afford, so that you can cover up your own poverty? "

After a few cases by Su Wu's side, several Genji sons gathered together to talk loudly, and their words were worthwhile.

Occasionally, they deliberately glanced towards Su Wu, and their eyes fell on the eaten meals in front of Su Wu.

It seemed that he wanted to ridicule Su Wu as "a commoner" and "a person too poor to be on the table". When he saw the delicacies, he even forgot who he was, and just buried his head in eating.

however,
food on the table,

To Su Wu, who is used to eating all kinds of fine modern dishes, it is really not a delicacy.

he's just bored,
So just eat to relieve boredom.

Hearing the secretly mocking words of those Genji sons, Su Wu suddenly laughed.

Those Genji disciples were surprised for a moment, they all looked at him, wondering what he was laughing at?
Su Wu was laughing. The 'kaiseki cuisine' they talked about was the representative of Dongliu Island's so-called 'advanced cuisine' in reality?This group of people can't imagine that after more than a thousand years, their noble delicacies have not been handed down.

On the contrary, it is the "starving cuisine" of poor people, which has become the representative of high-end cuisine on this island after more than a thousand years.

Genji's sons frequently observed Su Wu secretly,

Most of his eyes fell on the knives on his waist.

Minamoto Yoritomo once told them that the specific shape and decoration of the 'superior sword', they have not found one that matches Minamoto Yoritomo's description from Su Wu's carry-on saber.

It can be seen that the knife is not on the body of the "elder of the Inoue family".

however,
They could never have imagined,

Among Su Wu's sabers, there is a sword that is not far from the "superior level" but is not far from the "superior level". Moreover, this sword is in an awakened state, and its power is far stronger than that of the unawakened Wusao. Superior!
"You are the elder of the Inoue family who followed General Yoritomo to carry the sword to Kyoto?"

A Genji son, Yuan Jingui raised his glass to Su Wu and asked.

He pretended to be curious,
It has well concealed the contempt for the "little nobles" and "common people" like Su Wu that was revealed just now.

Su Wu nodded: "Not bad."

The elder of Inoue's family looked calm, facing Yuanjingui's inquiry, he was quite calm, on the contrary, he was trying his best to ridicule his rich and well-dressed sons, just like roosters competing for beauty in a chicken coop.

This clear and bright temperament made Zhu Yuan's son feel ashamed.

And secretly jealous.

He even wanted to expose Su Wu's 'unfathomable' attitude.

Yuan Jingui continued to speak: "Your Excellency Inoue, can you show us the supreme sword? I asked you to send it to my house. Now that it has been delivered today, the sword should be returned to its original owner!"

"Exactly!"

"It should be so!"

"Indeed!"

Several Genji sons followed suit.

Minamoto Yoritomo noticed the movement on their side, and also came over with a wine glass, and looked worriedly at the eldest son of Genji's third generation, Minazuki, for fear that the other party might say something wrong.

Minazuki gave him a reassuring look, showing that he was measured, which made Minamoto Yoshitomo press down on the idea of ​​​​stopping the other party.

"I sent the sword to ask for a reward from the famous Genji.

The reward is not in place,
The supreme sword is absolutely not to be given. "

Su Wu's honest words made Yuan Jingui and others hold their breath in their chests, and they didn't know what to say.

They knew that the sword had been brought into the shadow world by the other party, and they could not take it by themselves.

If you bully the other party on the spot, it will arouse the vigilance of the other party, and instead of stealing chickens, you will lose money—and this is strictly prohibited by the right minister.

So, Zhongyuan remained silent for a while,

Yuan Jingui suddenly opened his mouth and changed the subject: "After Uncle Raichao returned to Kyoto with Your Excellency, he was full of praise for Your Excellency's swordsmanship and highly praised Your Excellency's martial arts.

Now that there is such an opportunity,

Your Excellency, how about we learn one or two sword skills?
I learned from the 'Tianli-style swordsmanship', and my master is a famous swordsman in Shanqian—”

"No fight, no fight."

Su Wu repeatedly shook his head and refused, and he simply refused without waiting for the other party to report his apprenticeship.

Minamoto Yoritomo's expression moved slightly.

Yuanjin Guidangdian and Inoue Candlezhao's swordsmanship competition is just asking for humiliation.

Even a battle-tested ghost warrior like him can't do anything to the opponent,

One move will be thwarted by the opponent, and Su Wu's life is in the hands of Su Wu——How could a nobleman like Yuan Jingui who has never tolerated cunning and only learned swordsmanship in the courtyard be the opponent of Inoue Tokuzhao? ?
Even if the opponent doesn't use fierce power,
Even if you give Yuanjingui a hand, Yuanjingui will definitely not be able to compare with the other party!

But what about that?
On such an important occasion, Minamoto Takashi and Inoue Tokuzhao were exchanging swordsmanship, but they were severely frustrated by the other party. In front of the Minamoto retainers, they were defeated cleanly - this is also a reflection of the Genji of the current 'Minato Yorimoka' lineage. A serious setback in face!

It's good for him!
He is happy to see it happen!
"Does your Excellency think that I am not worthy to be your opponent?" Yuan Jingui's eyes turned cold, and he assumed an aggressive posture.

The Genji sons around him also had serious faces,
The atmosphere seemed to be tense.

Su Wu picked up a piece of dried meat from the dinner plate, stuffed it into his mouth while chewing, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, you can know yourself, that's really great!"

"what?!"

"idiot!"

"How can it be repaired!"

Zhu Yuan's sons were furious, and all of a sudden got up!

Yuan Jingui then stood up, pressed his palm on the handle of the Taidao at his waist, and suddenly drew the blade and pointed at Su Wu: "Your Excellency, you are so rude——"

Swish!
The blade of the gorgeous Taidao slowly descends,
Pointing to Su Wu who was sitting cross-legged behind the table, facing him sideways.

swish swish—

The sons of Zhongyuan drew their swords and surrounded Su Wu.

The moment everyone's swords were about to point at the vital parts of Su Wu's body!

Su Wu suddenly turned into an afterimage——

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Like a gust of wind rising from the ground,

It's like thunder suddenly appearing on dry land!

The light of Xue Liang's sword wiped off Zhu Yuan's son's sword pointing at Su Wu in an instant, and many Tai Dao and Da Dao were chopped off at the waist, and the broken blades jingled and fell all over the ground!

The sons of Zhongyuan staggered back in shock!

Yuanjin Guidu didn't realize what happened, the high-grade killing stone knife in his hand had turned into a broken sword!
He trembled in his heart, but he wanted to maintain his decency, so he did not back down, and let go of the handle of the knife, pressing his palm on the handle of the second knife at his waist!

Swish!
The blade draws out a finger length!

The terrifying figure on the opposite side has already handed the tip of the blade towards his neck!

It's like an invitation card from King Yama to summon his soul!

Yuan Jingui is cold all over!
The shadow of death enveloped the whole body!
Minamoto Yoritomo immediately stood up, drew his blade to block, and shouted while blocking: "Mr. Inoue, don't kill my nephew-this is just a sparring!"

Although Minamoto Yoritomo reacted quickly,
But someone behind him reacted faster——

"Fate!
Qing Ji!

Hurry up as a law! "

A shrill male voice sounded instantly,
At the entrance of the main hall, a cloud of purple mist suddenly exploded.

A shikigami with a snake-tailed human body and a human head snaked out of the purple mist. The shikigami was bare-chested, his chest swayed, his black hair shot up like a javelin, and he opened his mouth full of fangs. Su Wu spit out a mist that was constantly pulled by many phantom arms!
The poisonous gas spewed out by this 'Qing Ji' shikigami can make people confused, and even their own thoughts will be cracked in an instant, turning them into fools!
But the moment the mist spread towards Su Wu's body,

Su Wu's free right hand just pinched the 'Dou Cobalt Seal'——

"Huh huh!
Harvey Mo,
Hum bah! "

In the void, the secret mantra sounded suddenly,
The colorful tiger skin meandered out from the invisible airflow, and the purple mist rushing towards Su Wu's face was swept and torn by the colorful tiger skin, and instantly turned into nothingness!
The tiger skin vibrates suddenly,

turned into a tiger,

Flying out from Su Wu's back, raised his front paws, pressed 'Qing Ji' under his paws, opened his bloody mouth, and tore Qing Ji into broken pieces of consciousness of the dead, blowing away with the wind And go!

The 'Tenmo Wan' in Su Wu's left hand didn't hesitate at all, it parried the sword that was approaching Yoritomo Minamoto,
The tip of the blade touched Minazuki's Adam's apple,

cut his skin,
Blood trickled down the tip of the blade,

Slowly dripping from the blade.

"Inoue-kun! No way!" Minamoto Yoritomo shouted loudly, in his heart he really wished that Su Wu would stab Minato Tsuki's neck through with a single sword.

However, Su Wu's sword only cut through Yuan Jingui's skin, and then stopped moving.

He raised his eyes to the door of the main hall.

I saw a tall middle-aged man wearing a Liwu hat and a brocade suit, with several gorgeous swords on his waist, walking into the hall.

The middle-aged man had a gloomy face.

Behind him, there was a middle-aged man in hunting clothes with a pointed chin, a pale face, and a black hat. He cast a gloomy glance at Su Wu, and put away the Shikigami Token in his hand.
