I'm Really a God

"This is……"

"This is a duel."

Kurosawa Zaemon walked up, glanced at the two samurai and said the answer as usual, Kou Ziqing suddenly realized, yes, this is the Warring States period, a duel with a sword is the same as a duel with a gun in the western era , maybe because people are already used to life and death, they are very interested in witnessing life and death, so when they see someone fighting a duel, they immediately gather around to watch.

"Do the guards in the city care about such things?"

Kou Ziqing asked, and Kuisawa shook his head and said:

"The duel between warriors is very sacred, and it is also a shortcut to prove one's bravery, especially for such low-level warriors who don't even have a last name. If they are attracted by nobles like the city lord, they will have a chance to rise to the top. Even if there is no chance, some rich people like to hire them."

Kou Ziqing nodded. The so-called duel is not just emotional, it is actually more about gaining fame, just like Huashan On Sword. If you can keep winning every battle, you must be famous far and wide. Of course, there are some people who really pursue breakthroughs. , to stimulate the potential in the body with this life and death duel.

At this time, the two warriors below reported their names to each other, and the duel began. The two men looked about the same in strength, and saw the shadows of swords and swords, and the sound of tinkling was endless like rain hitting a lute. Just like watching the Colosseum, they are all excited and eager to cheer.

"It's really twisted... Are samurai swords so strong? They can cut each other for so long."

Kou Ziqing muttered, Kikyo said:

"These two people are swordsmen who have entered the sect, and they already have a bit of sword energy. With this level of strength, they can also defeat some inferior monsters."

Kikyo had just finished speaking when he heard a scream. One of them was shot down with a samurai sword, and the next moment he was directly killed. The blood in his body sprayed out and splashed on the crowd of onlookers. After collecting the blood, Kou Ziqing saw a child dipping a steamed bun in his hand into the blood and eating it.

"..."

Kou Ziqing saw the brutality and bloodiness of the Warring States Period at this moment, Kikyo turned his head and said:

"Ten years of hard training, but blood spilled on the streets."

Kurosawa didn't feel anything, and said:

"A duel is like a battlefield. It is also an honor for a warrior to die in such a place. There is a saying called a horse leather shroud. Someone will collect his body."

"Isn't it good to use this kind of power to protect your family? It's a pity that ordinary people can't compare to those who can develop Qi. Unfortunately, this power is useless at all."

Hearing Kikyo's words, Kurosawa didn't take it seriously. Martial arts training is for the sake of getting ahead. Having a status combined with strength can make one's ancestors shine. Swordsmen are also born in duels. Their ability to kill hundreds of people can't be achieved just by practicing tricks. .

However, Kou Ziqing understood Kikyo's thoughts. For Kikyo, power is something to be guarded with force, not this kind of senseless fight between humans.However, the Warring States Period was originally a fight between people and people, and between countries. Even if monsters were mixed into it, it was just an embellishment against the background of this era. Fulfilling its own mission brought stability to Japan for hundreds of years.

"Jiangyou, what is Qi? Is it the power of blood you mentioned?"

The bloody scene of the duel just now made Kou Ziqing a little disgusted, and he didn't want to see how it ended. He felt that he didn't even have much appetite.Kikyo nodded and said:

"Because the power of a samurai swordsman looks similar to that of a demon, they use Qi to describe it."

"So that's it, Kikyo, although spiritual power and qi are cultivated in different ways, they are rooted in the power of human souls. Then how do you distinguish your own strength? Is there no theory of realm?"

Kou Ziqing couldn't help but ask, Inuyasha's original work didn't have any boundaries, so that the strength depends entirely on the plot and brain supplement, which made Kou Ziqing a little unaccustomed, wondering if there will be any changes after the props are realized, Kikyo was stunned and explained the way:

"In terms of realm, because the theory of four souls is popular in our country, it is generally divided into four levels."

"I see."

Kou Ziqing came to a sudden, at this moment Kuize said:

"Samurai are actually all based on strength. If a person can kill ten people in one battle, he can be called a swordsman. Every improvement on this basis is very difficult. If he can kill a hundred people Only his great achievements can be called swordsmen."

"Oh, is there a Juggernaut?"

"Yes, but the Juggernaut is more of an honorary title. Although it is indeed superior to the swordsman, the real Juggernaut probably has to be one person against a thousand troops. At present, there is no such strong person in the Eastern and Western Kingdoms."

"What is the standard for this so-called beheading of ten people? Does it count as killing a mob?"

"Of course not, it must be elite. I, the leader of the Musashi Kingdom, Shi Gao, has 67 people. I don't know if I can support a real army of thousands of people. Of course, this is directly under him. If there is a national war, the city below will also There are quite a few people who send troops to help, and also recruit peasants as ashigaru and other things.”

In the Warring States Period, the lord of a country was actually the biggest daimyo, and then distributed the territory to the subordinates. Except for the real battle between countries, otherwise they really had their own affairs, and they would attack each other and even conquer each other. Instead, this is different from the princes of the Zhou Dynasty in China, but similar to landlords, and the so-called soldiers are equivalent to guardians.It is very expensive to raise professional soldiers, so some small-scale conflicts, bandits and other ashigaru are just landlords asking their tenants to fight.

Think about some powerful monsters in the Inuyasha world who slaughter villages and wipe out an army at every turn. It makes people feel that the human army is vulnerable. In fact, the main reason is that most of these troops are not real soldiers. Japan There is no military inheritance, and no one knows how to cultivate military spirit and military power, which are the weapons for ordinary people to restrain monsters.

"Teach me, Kurosawa-kun, I think you are also very powerful, maybe you can become a swordsman in the future."

Kou Ziqing complimented Kurosawa, and Kurosawa Zaemon said modestly:

"I'm still far behind. In fact, I like reading more than practicing martial arts. Unfortunately, my talent is limited. Ms. Kikyo is the real powerhouse. I'm afraid she is close to the real sword master in terms of subduing demons and demons."

At this time, the waiter in the store also started to serve the food, seeing that the guard at the left door of Heize hurriedly saluted, the guard at the left gate of Heize saw that Kou Ziqing was about to eat, and immediately said:

"I invited you for today's meal. Please don't dislike Miss Kikyo and Izayo-kun. I'm really glad to meet you by chance."

Kou Ziqing quickly thanked him and said:

"Thank you, Kurosawa-kun, maybe there is one thing I need to trouble you with. The purpose of Mr. Kikyo and I coming to the city is actually to buy a few literacy books as enlightenment textbooks, but I don't know if there are any bookstores in the city. "

"Textbooks for literacy?"

Kurosawa was stunned for a moment and then said:

"There are still bookstores. As for the textbook "Thousand-Character Classic"? There is also the "Three-Character Classic" that is more popular in Ming Dynasty."

Kou Ziqing's eyes lit up. "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters" are collectively called "Three Hundred Thousands", also known as "Three Family Village". Everyone knows, no one knows.

"If you have three hundred thousand, please give me a set."

"Okay, I'll let someone handle it."

Kurosawa didn't ask why, this little thing is nothing to him, he is a samurai with the power to pass on the power, and he has always yearned for Tang culture. He has a hereditary territory, which is far beyond what ordinary warriors can compare.

Kou Ziqing didn't expect that reading a poem could solve a good relationship, but he had a good impression of Kurosawa Zuomenwei. He invited Kurosawa to have a meal together, and Kurosawa Zuomenwei was very moved. After all, he and Kikyo are so powerful and It would be a good thing to have a meal with a beautiful maiden, but he thought about it and declined. As a person with eyesight, he felt that Izayoi-kun was just a polite way.
