[Comprehensive] History of Harmony Honmaru

"Hey, what's the sound?" The child rubbed his eyes and walked slowly and confusedly, when the sound from the second floor caught his attention.

The slippers kicked and trampled on the wooden floor, and he walked up to the second floor step by step, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

It's just that I slept until midnight and felt a little thirsty, so I opened the bedroom door automatically and consciously, and went to the kitchen to pour warm water to drink.

The little boy in the Asakawa family has been doted on since he was a child. In the past, his mother definitely poured water for him in person, but since he was a little older and entered the so-called rebellious period of youth, he The "heart, liver, darling" spoiled by his mother in front of his friends made him feel a little ashamed, so he ruthlessly refused.

Things like pouring water and drinking water have to be done by himself.

Even so, Mrs. Asakawa is still used to preparing hot water, hot milk and supper in the kitchen for him. If he needs it, he can go directly to the kitchen to get food and drink.

The little boy's footsteps gradually approached, neither fast nor slow. Although the sound of the feet wearing thin cotton socks on the wooden floor was not loud, it was still very obvious to Yaken Toshiro at night.

The person in Asakawa's house probably just woke up. Although he drank water, he still hasn't recovered from his dazed state, but just happened to hear the movement on the second floor, so he walked upstairs along the way.

As soon as he stepped on the steps, Yaoken's hand tightened, and he slowly grasped the needle in his hand, the tip of the needle was sharp and cold.

Yaken glanced back silently, the door of the study where Ranto Shiro and the others were still remained open, the movement was small but still there, obviously the most important task of this operation had not been completed yet.

He was a little anxious in his heart, and at the same time, his eyes towards the boy became more and more severe. The little boy still rubbed his eyes unconsciously and walked upstairs slowly in wonder.

"This is..." Luan walked over, took the old book handed by Imaiken, "Japanese...traditional classical dance...instruction..."

"What do you mean, is there anything special?" He casually flipped through the yellowed book, but didn't find anything special in it.

Jin Jian didn't talk nonsense, held down his flipping hand, opened it directly to the title page, and pointed:

"Look at this."

"what--"

Imai is a young Fusangshen who is used to communicating with pure pseudonyms. The language with Chinese characters on it cannot be read completely fluently, but Ran does not have such a problem.

So he quickly browsed through it, and also realized the value of just a few sentences in this old and tattered book.

"...Mom believes that...you will definitely become a very good master of Japanese dance... Just like Xue Ji expected, mom believes that you will definitely become such a dazzling existence. Xue Ji will always be the center of the world in my mother's heart Light……"

"... As long as you work hard, Xue Ji's wish to become the idol that everyone is looking at... will come true one day..."

"...Happy Birthday to my precious daughter! - Love you mama"

There was a certain kind of shock and surprise in the eyes that looked at Jin Jian randomly, but at the same time, it was more unspeakable excitement. I have been busy all night today, and this is undoubtedly one of the biggest gains.

"Found it!" Aizen Kunijun suddenly shouted excitedly, and it was this sound that attracted the attention of the little boy from Asakawa's house downstairs.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Imamu hurried over and covered his mouth, Aizen nodded repeatedly, and pointed to the small box he put on the table. The lock of the box seemed to be the same as the key they found. match.

"Open it and take a look?" Ai Ran nodded, nervously wiping the sweat from her palms and fingers, and finally reached out and handed out the key.

With a click, the lock was successfully opened.

Everyone was excited for a while, but then they heard the retreat signal sent by Yaoyan.

"Quick, quick!" Jin Jian's eyes widened, expressing only with his eyes, looking extremely anxious.

Randomly took photos of the materials and put them back to their original location.

"Ah, this is..." Aizen and Imai couldn't help but look closer, and the light of the flashlight was aimed directly at the things in the treasure chest.

"Let's go!" Yao Yan suddenly appeared at the door, and the three dagger brothers looked at him at the same time.

"Well, why did the study door open?" The little boy's voice was still confused, and he turned on the light with a slap. Looking at the study room that had not changed a bit, he was puzzled for a while, then turned off the light and went upstairs. Went back to the next room.

The night wind blows, and the heat of the summer day has long since dissipated.

The night wind by the sea has an obvious coolness. It blows over the temples and cheeks. It is cool but not cold, and it also carries the unique fishy and salty smell of the coast.

The six of them shuttled between the houses in the night, like ghosts.

The syringe has been put away, Yao Yan is holding the body knife with one hand, but thoughts are churning in his mind.

"I'm afraid, something extraordinary has been discovered." He thought, "We must bring this news to the general as soon as possible."

"Sorry, visiting late at night..."

California Qingguang spoke very politely. Although the old man in front of him seemed to have no strength and strength to fight against the four of them, the fact that the other party was waiting here as expected was no longer something they could underestimate.

What's more, because of past experience, California Qingguang has never been the kind of person who would underestimate opponents.

"It's all here," the old man smiled, but he didn't mean to be too polite, and he didn't feel as good as he seemed to see these uninvited guests, "Let's have a sip of tea together. "

California Qingguang and his teammates looked at each other and exchanged opinions in a short glance.

"Then, excuse me." Qingguang bowed politely first, and then sat down in the manner of a samurai, with the main body knife placed by his side.

The other five people sat down behind him, and they didn't have a small tea table like him, but everyone's purpose was not to drink tea, and the old man didn't expect to welcome so many people.

Among the other five, Kunihiro Horikawa seemed very obedient, maintaining a very polite way of looking down and avoiding staring at each other. This was not because he was afraid or guilty, nor was it a sign of his cowardice. Against the background of particularly strong fusangshen such as Izumi Mori Kanesada, he strategically showed weakness.

After all, if a group of people came uninvited and met the owner of the house as an intruder in a aggressive state, it would inevitably appear a little rude, and it would be inconvenient for the subsequent conversation.

Both parties are not clear about each other's purpose. Although the probability may not be high, a reasonable state of communication should still be maintained.

If possible, they still hope to implement the idea of ​​the inquisitor and reduce the possibility of violent settlement as much as possible. If the negotiation can achieve the goal, that is the best.

"Hello, may I ask that you are... Mr. Takeshi Kura?"

Hearing this, the old man laughed, took a sip of tea, and then nodded yes.

"Yeah, it seems that you have done some work. You have been coming to my Budokan these days, so it can be regarded as...rewarding?"

"You've said it before." California Qingguang smiled, and the mole on his lips moved slightly with the curvature of the red lips, which was very attractive, "In fact, we have doubts in our hearts, so we have this behavior."

"Oh?" Cang Miwu asked one word back, and then found other words to say, "Try it, this is a local tea that can only be drunk in our small town, and I grow it myself. I want to grow tea on such a seaside It still takes a lot of work to produce tea leaves."

"Qiyomi..." Yamato Mamoru called him calmly, Kiyomitsu gave him a reassuring look, Yamato Mori looked at him, then at the smiling old man Kura Yatake, and finally just restrained himself.

Compared with the seasoned California Kiyomitsu, Yamato Mamoru still looks younger and immature when it comes to negotiations and confrontation.

Cang Miwu is the father of Cang Miyong, that is, the father of Cang Mi Hisako.

He used to be a well-known dojo master in Cangmi Dojo, but after losing his beloved daughter, he restrained his stubborn and even extreme temperament. It is said that he was indulging in more peaceful and quiet cultures and sports such as Buddhism and Taoism. rarely appear in front of people.

The Budokan was also passed on to his son, Kurami Yong, whose temper was a bit impulsive and paranoid.

In Qingguang's heart, he didn't quite believe that a person who used to fight with knives and guns, and even devoted himself to promoting Bushido culture, would completely change his temper after experiencing a little incident, and turn into a refined and kind person.

Although he did not question the meaning of the relationship between Mr. Kuraya and the genius daughter Hisako Kuraya he had high hopes for, he also believed that the inexplicable death of his beloved daughter must have had an impact on Takeshi Kuraya. It is a person who is very lucky in his bones, or a person who can sacrifice others for "great righteousness".

If a "modern samurai" with such a character completely gave up his beliefs and half-life persistence because he lost one of his children, it really caught Qingguang and others a little off guard, and even felt a burst of disobedience.

Of course, Hisako Kura is indeed a child trusted and trusted by him. They also believe that there is a reason why Takeshi Kura once said that he wants to inherit the Budokan to his daughter. However, judging from the closed and stubborn situation of the samurai in the small town , the possibility of this kind of succession by women is not great, but Cang Yawu firmly believes that his daughter, Kuriya Hisako, is better than several sons, including the current dojo master Cang Yawu, and everyone feels it.

Cang Miwu didn't seem to be in a hurry to explore the purpose of the six people sneaking up late at night, and he seemed to have a well-thought-out plan.

He started with the spirit of Bushido, and actually debated the current Bushido and the Bushido that belonged to the Shinsengumi during the Shogunate period before Kiyomitsu.

This is not a difficult topic for the mourning gods, and it can be said to be easy for the Shinsengumi, but the surprise and vigilance in everyone's hearts has reached a new level at the same time.

"I didn't expect a few young people to have such an understanding." Cang Miwu took a sip of hot tea, and the moment he lowered his head and closed his eyes, he concealed the shock in his heart.

What he said was very polite, and even exaggerated them, but in fact, these young samurai who seemed to be only in their teens not only had excellent skills in stealth, fighting, and sword use, but also had a good understanding of bushido. It has reached a very deep level.

It can be seen that although they have inherited the Bushido spirit of the Shinsengumi, several of them already have their own "samurai heart" on top of this, with their own objects of allegiance, their own beliefs and beliefs.

This is very rare and rare in the world.

This also made him more sure that the six people in front of him came from extraordinary families, or they were loyal to a huge staff group, chaebol, or noble organization.

"Then, I don't know what's the matter with you visiting late at night? I'm afraid it's not your original intention to chat with me, an old man?"

"Here we come." Hearing his question, everyone even had such thoughts in their hearts, "It's finally here."

There are enough detours, if it is not that they don't want to cause more troubles to trouble the judges, they Fu Sangshen, especially the impatient ones, would not be patient to drink tea and chat with the old man here until now.

California Qingguang spoke to him on behalf of everyone. He cleared his throat, rolled through dozens of ways to speak in his mind, and finally decided to ask directly.

"I heard that you have a very outstanding daughter, Miss Hisako..."

As soon as Qing Guang finished speaking, he saw the fingers of the old man holding the cup twitch slightly, and his kind eyes instantly became like eagles.

In terms of momentum and understanding of martial arts, this old man is much better and outstanding than his gym master's son.

"Although this is a bit impolite, we still want to ask about Miss Hisako's death." Qingguang spoke carefully.

On the other hand, Cang Miwu obviously frowned in displeasure.

"Actually, there are a lot of doubts about Miss Jiuzi's accidental death, and I believe you are also very curious and confused. And we happened to know a gentleman who used to be Miss Jiuzi's...well, follower, very close relationship follower." Qing Guang nodded, affirming this description of himself, and then said, "That gentleman is also our friend now, and he has never given up on pursuing the truth back then, and we also want to help him find some things."

"I hope you can cooperate with us."

Putting his hands on his thighs, Kiyomitsu bowed his head to Yatake, but the other party didn't respond, so he kept his saluting posture.

Until a sigh came, Xu Shi couldn't bear it, Xu Shi was doubtful and unwilling, Cang Miwu finally explained for everyone.

"My Jiuzi is the most outstanding of my four children. Although she is the only girl, she has an outstanding talent in martial arts. She has always worked so hard and excelled. She was able to defeat the dojo at a very young age. A young and middle-aged samurai practitioner. At that time, I knew that this small world could not restrain her. There was nothing...nothing that could stop her from pursuing higher skills and pursuing the adults of the Shinsengumi Glory."

"She has always admired and admired figures like Hijikata-sama and Okita-sama, and deeply, deeply felt unwilling and regretful for their misfortune, the defeat of bushido and the demise of samurai at the end of the Edo period."

Cang Miwu shook his head, as if sighing.

"I can't deny that she completely followed me. I was born as a farmer, and I came into contact with swords by chance. Many experiences are similar to those of the adults in the Shinsengumi, so I admire them very much. When I was young, I personally taught Hisako, at that time, I didn’t look at things like I do now—she pursued the fame and power of the Shinsengumi, and even longed to...restore that era, or change the misfortune of the Shinsengumi adults.”

"One day, she left home and left a message saying that she would find a way to achieve her ideals and become stronger."

Horikawa Kunihiro and Izumi Mori Kanesada glanced at each other, both of them understood.

"We haven't heard from her for a long time. We were all worried, but we never thought that something would happen to her. We don't know her job well. Everything about her is new and strange to us. You are the first A person who came here as her 'colleague'. But we didn't expect that when we heard about her again and the last time, it was the news of her death. The most unacceptable thing for us was that there were only a few company staff Come to give us compensation and notice in a procedural way, and didn't even... didn't give us her body! I didn't even see the last side!"

Speaking of this, Cang Miwu was extremely excited, but his old body did not allow him to have such a drastic emotional change.

He coughed violently, trying to calm himself down.

Several Fu Sangshen looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently the facts in his mouth were somewhat different from what they expected.

"You mean you didn't see her..."

"Yes." Cang Miwu nodded.

"Then, we have a few things we want to confirm with you. First of all, it's about... the cause of Miss Hisako's death. Do you know that she died abnormally?"

"'Her company' is vague, but I am not confused. It is obvious that someone killed her and killed my outstanding daughter." Cang Miwu nodded, with a cold look in his eyes, not the same as before. There was a dead silence, "What exactly does she do?"

"Sorry, we can't say this." California Qingguang has a sense of proportion. Although they want to hear some news, the existence of current affairs should not be exposed to ordinary people.

"There is one more thing, time." Nagaso Mikotoru asked calmly, "When did you hear the news of Miss Hisako's death?"

"Yes……"

Although Cang Miwu knew very little, but thanks to him, some things that were sunk in the bottom of the water were gradually excavated by them.

The files related to Shizheng are missing, and they were checked in the first issue of Yizheng. In addition, because the person who harmed Kuriya Hisako was a staff member of Shizheng, because of their Fusangshen's "revenge action", it has nothing to do with the incident of that year. The people and things involved were basically wiped clean.

In the first phase, Yizhen only participated in the revenge of the direct murderer, and the others are actually not very clear, but later I found out that all the archives related to Kuraya Hisako were destroyed.

Through this clumsy method, they are looking for the truth step by step.

"That's all I know."

"Thank you very much for your help. Well, let's take our leave."

Qingguang and his team in California expressed their gratitude politely and got up to leave.

"and many more……"

"What?" Hearing Cang Miwu's voice, everyone stopped and turned to look.

"May I ask your real names?"

Cang Miwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly there was an unspeakable sharpness and sense of life bursting out. After changing the previous feeling of being slumped and old, it can be said that at this moment, everyone felt the spirit of an old warrior from him at this moment. god.

"I'm... California Qingguang." Qingguang smiled slightly, nodded to him, then turned and left without hesitation, with a flying and gorgeous arc drawn on the hem of his clothes.

Cang Miwu's expression froze for half a minute, looking at their backs that disappeared in an instant, he secretly thought about the word "California Qingguang", then sneered, and lowered his eyes to look at the cup again.

The booming sound was impossible to ignore, and the cold light when drawing the knife was all over the place.

"Damn it!" Hasebe growled. Relying on his excellent maneuverability and night vision without weakening the sword, he took the lead to draw his sword, "Is the enemy attacking?"

"Level [-] alert!" The response was quick in the first phase. With the order, the daggers immediately rushed out, and the tall swords like Ishikimaru were guarding near where Yu Li was. .

Hotaru quickly stood up, the Odachi was hidden in the scabbard, and his hand was already stretched behind his back, maintaining the shape of holding the knife.

The rest of the swordsmen and swordsmen were also on alert. The three of them, Utasen Kanesada, Yamabuki Kunihiro, and Hachisuka Kotoru, immediately turned on the lights in the room. With the help of bright lights, the tense atmosphere that was about to explode in the room could be seen at a glance.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Mikazuki Zongjin were sitting not far from Yu Li. Tsurumaru had already drawn his sword, which was in the posture of a guard. At some point, Mikazuki had put down the teacup, and his right hand with the black glove was already on the body sword. superior.

Yu Li still maintains a communication connection with Yin Hai.

The moment the voice sounded, she noticed that Fu Sangshen's vigilance around her was faster than she had imagined, and everyone was getting better and better.

Except for some short knives who jumped out of the window because of their small stature, the leader of the team, Hasebe and others, all rushed out from the main entrance.

Yu Li's position was facing the gate, and the people on the main seat were guarded by a group of powerful fusangshen.

"This is..." Yu Li frowned, the courtyard revealed its current appearance after a burst of smoke and dust, she vaguely felt that this had something to do with Yin Hai who spoke mysteriously just now.

"Ah, have you forgotten what I mentioned to you before?" Yin Hai reminded her with a laughing voice.

"You can't..." Yu Li looked up at the yard with some hesitation, and everyone was also surprised.

"Is this Daisen Tai Mitsuyo?" Atsuto Shiro stared at it for a while, then suddenly shouted out in surprise.

"Brother Yiqi, this is Hakata and Goto!" Akita Toshiro immediately recognized the daggers, "And this is Baoding Toshiro, then this is—"

"Mouri Toshiro." Natsuo Toshiro ran and jumped over, "It's the new sword Fusangshin adopted by the Tokino Government some time ago, and it's also our brother."

"That's it, Ah Zhen?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said uncertainly, and then explained to Yu Li, "It's Taiko Zhong Zhenzong, a former partner."

"Yeah, even Kenshin Jingguang and Hinata Masamune have them, it's incredible."

"Hey, this length..." Mitechu pointed at the two guns, "It's Tonbokiri and Japan, what is it..."

"Hahaha, with Fudoki Mitsuki and Japan, someone will drink with me in the future." Jiro Tachi reacted quickly, and his smile broke the tense atmosphere at once.

Keimaru walked into the yard with the main body sword, and saw two of the outstanding length among the pile of swords and swords littered on the ground at a glance.

"It's a naginata, we don't seem to have one in Honmaru, Iwato and Bakata naginata."

"Ji Jun, what is this, what's going on?" Facing Sanri Yuezong's puzzled but extremely comfortable smile, Yu Li silently looked at Yin Hai in the electronic projection.

"Ahaha," Yin Hai laughed dryly for a while, "It looks a bit tortuous, a bit embarrassing...but the result is still good, isn't it all delivered?"

The Fu Sangshen looked at the pile of unfamiliar or familiar swords that were still together like scrap iron in the yard, and silently turned their eyes to Yinhai.

"In short, that's it." Yinhai waved his hand and skipped it directly, "The battle is imminent, and your Honmaru Fusangshen has not been collected, so how can I say... I always feel that with such a small number of people like you, if you really Facing the lineup of Daoist Ji Chuanxue with all swords, I always feel that it is not good, and the one who still has combat power in this world is probably you, the inspector."

"Besides, the defenders are likely to come for you. No matter how confident you are, you have to make more preparations. Of course, the right to choose this matter is still in your hands. Please choose according to your spiritual power. Okay, after all, these are not blank swords."

"What do you mean?" Tsurumaru Kuni never knew when he put away the knife, folded his hands in front of him, leaned against the wall pillar behind him, and stared at Yinhai's projection with lowered eyes.

"It literally means." Yinhai smiled slightly at several people, "I should have heard of it, one of the several ways to obtain swords comes from the government of time's reward policy for outstanding god judges. Different from forging knives and other methods, these swords are all 'temporarily retired swords and swords' who have entered a temporary sleep due to exhaustion of spiritual power."

"Ah, it's that one." Yu Li was stunned for a moment, and also remembered something buried deep in her memory. Although it clearly happened only a few months ago, it gave her a feeling as if she had passed away. Too many things happened.

In Honmaru where some appraisers leave or under special circumstances, some Fusangshen will be left unsupervised. These Fusangshen themselves may have been "serving" for a long time, but due to special reasons or just The term of the pure god judges has come, and they lost the master god judges who provided them with spiritual power.

So without the supply of spiritual power, they could only exhaust their spiritual power little by little and fall into a deep sleep.

Many swords and swords will be discarded because of this, just like the Kakiri Hasebe and Yaken Toshiro who Yuli met before were waiting for a long time to discard the Honmaru.But there are some lucky sword Fusangshen, maybe because they have made great achievements, maybe they have a very high level of training and experience, or maybe their former judges applied for them, and these Fusangshen can Own a special opportunity.

They will rest in the special knife box room dedicated to current affairs, and will not be sent to the knife solution pool, or simply grow old and be discarded as scrap iron.In the knife box room with spiritual power, although they cannot maintain their human form, they will only be preserved in a temporary dormant state because of the support of spiritual energy.

When the Government of Time arranges suitable judges to go and select each other in both directions, they will enter the new Honmaru and have a brand new master.

Usually, the talents of these god judges are very high, and this opportunity to be selected will also be regarded as a reward for outstanding god judges.

Because the practice of dormant swords is very high, only a small number of God Assessors who are born with abundant spiritual power can contract them in the early stage, and God Assessors who have gradually cultivated their spiritual power often do not need this kind of dormant sword— ——The sword Fusangshen of their Honmaru may be enough. Only when the number of Fusangshen is sufficient and the strength is high enough to deny each other, the spiritual power of the god judge can be sufficient.

This kind of Fusangshen has Fusangshen forged by himself, and will not need a sword that has a master with his own story and personality as his own Fusangshen, while the newcomer's God is subject to the situation of spiritual power , often can only contract one or two strikes such a highly practiced dormant sword Fusangshen.

The unawakened swords in front of Yu Li's eyes are all the best sword Fusangshen that Shizheng took out from the knife box room when he evacuated.

They hadn't been awakened yet, and according to Yuri Honmaru's sword Fusangshen configuration, all the remaining swords she didn't have were sent over through Yatohua's unreliable teleportation array.

"It's your choice whether to choose them or not." Yin Hai looked at Yu Li, "Maybe they won't be as smooth and suitable to use as the blank Fusangshen forged by myself, and the running-in period may be longer, of course I don't deny that there will be some small problems, but they are loyal Fusangshen who have not fallen into the dark and are not polluted, I can guarantee that."

"By the way, they are the earliest batch of swords."

"What do you mean?" Yu Li frowned, this was the first time she heard such a statement.

"You should have heard the saying of the original Honmaru, right? It's like the Honmaru you have now--'At the beginning of the historical revisionists, when the Government of Time was established, the Government of Time selected a hundred of the best from the human world. Excellent psychics, built the most magnificent hundred Honmaru for them to live in.'”

"Yes, I know." Yu Li nodded, expressing that she was aware of this. When she took over Honmaru, Fox Nosuke had told her.

"Their swords are the first batch of swords Fusangshen that came out of these original Honmaru, which is the first batch of replicas of swords in history."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Everyone is no stranger to the tragedy of the annihilation of the first hundred god judges. It can be said that every god judge knew this when he took office.Obviously, the first batch of swords that they contracted at that time was in front of them, which was a shocking and surprising thing.

"Of course, the swords that were later fashioned did not come from those original Honmaru, but they were also the first batch to be forged. In fact, the first replicas of the new swords that were gradually fashioned later have always been kept by Shizheng. Yes, what the God-inspector forged later was not the 'first shock'."

"You said this specifically, do you want to emphasize and explain something to me?"

After the initial shock and surprise, Yu Li calmed down.

She doesn't covet this first name, including the glory and glory that once shrouded them, and she believes that Yinhai also knows that she is not such a character.

Then he said these, there must be other purposes.

Yin Hai smiled and shrugged.

"That's because, they are the 'strongest'."
