Chapter 9 of the Sutra: Hidden Dragon, do not use it. Ninety-four: You may jump into the abyss, no blame.

Hidden dragon in the abyss.

As spring passed and autumn came, Nagato Saburo had been focusing on the practice of swordsmanship for fifteen years. And his goal is to catch up with his older brother.

His elder brother was twelve years older than him, and had already become a samurai at the age of seventeen. Now that his brother is getting older, he is just getting older.

The young Saburo Nagato believes that he will be able to achieve more than his elder brother... Hidden in the abyss, he will become a blockbuster!

"marriage?"

Just after returning from exercise, my brother came to where he lived.

Nagato Saburo listened to his brother's suggestion with great surprise. Nagato Saburo subconsciously thought that his elder brother Nagato Munechika had indeed gotten married when he was his age. Now, as his nephew, Shinji is almost seven years old, and he will be old enough to learn swordsmanship next year.

Nagato Munechika, who is almost forty years old, is obviously older than Nagato Saburo's impression. He has gray hair on his temples... When did it happen? Nagato Saburo looked at his brother's white hair on his temples and seemed a little distracted.

"Her name is Naru Shenharu, and she is the successor of the shrine's next miko." Nagato Munechika said calmly: "I have discussed it with the current miko. In fact, Naru Shenharu is not suitable to take over the position of miko. Miko-sama plans to continue Choose a suitable candidate. Ming Shenchun has grown up and should also consider marriage. It just so happens that you have reached the age of marriage, so I will make the decision and help you agree to the marriage. "

Nagato Munechika, who has inherited the Nagato family business, has unquestionable power in the Nagato family. Nagato Saburo was obsessed with the practice of swordsmanship and didn't have much thought about his marriage. But the eldest brother is like his father. Although Nagato Saburo could not say that he expected Nagato Munechika's arrangements, he did not resist.

"Just follow your brother's arrangements for everything!" Nagato Saburo nodded directly.

Haru Narukami is a child adopted by a shrine maiden. He has attended the annual sacrificial activities of Waseda Village many times. Nagato Saburo had already met her and she was indeed an outstanding woman, so she didn't resist much to her brother's arrangement.

But what he hopes for more is another thing, "Brother, the secret of the Nagato family... please allow me to practice! I feel that my strength can no longer go any further!"

The secret secret is the foundation of the Nagato family. It was precisely because of the secret secret that the ancestors of the Nagato family were able to survive the battle to capture the powerful fox demon that brought disaster to the Waseda Village area, and were rewarded with the fief of Waseda Village. .

However, only those who inherit the family business have the qualifications to practice and bestow secret secrets. Even Nagato Saburo, Nagato Sokika's brother, is not qualified to practice.

Nagato Sokon looked at Nagato Saburo for a long time with an indifferent expression, and finally just said: "We will talk about this matter after you get married."

Nagato Saburo could only give up and continue questioning.

Looking at the retreating back of Nagato Sokon, Nagato Saburo whispered to himself: "Brother, are you so afraid that I will surpass you? The God of the Nagato family..."

…

News of the marriage spread quickly, and people talked about it. When Saburo Nagato went out, he could hear compliments everywhere he went.

This made him feel inexplicably irritated. He made a decision, that is, before getting married, he would quietly go to the mountains to see his fiancée Ming Shenchun.

The people of Waseda Village are very familiar with the shrine used for worship. However, when he came to the shrine, Nagato Saburo did not see the witch presiding here. He waited outside the shrine for a while, and even failed to meet Naru Shenchun, but seeing the beautiful scenery on the mountain, he couldn't help but be obsessed with it.

A few years ago, Nagato Saburo traveled and visited many places. There are certainly many places more beautiful than this mountain scenery, but at this moment, I have the thought that it cannot be compared. It is probably a rare feeling of tranquility.

There was a path leading to the back of the shrine. Nagato Saburo walked by it unknowingly. When he turned around, he came to a cave.

Maybe the children in the village also visited places like this when they were young, right? But Saburo Nagato, who has set goals since he was a child, has been working hard to train himself since he was a child, and he has never let himself relax for a day.

The entrance to the cave behind the shrine had a forbidden sign put down by the shrine. Nagato Saburo became curious and had a young mind. He immediately entered it without any scruples, and gradually entered it. He could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing, and thought that there should be something inside this cave. There is a water source.

It does have a water source, a naturally formed pool. When Saburo Nagato saw this pool, he thought the water here should be cold.

So, do the people who are washing their bodies here at this time also feel cold? The woman washing her long hair in the water, with her head lowered, looked like a painting under the light of the oil fire.

Meet here.

She had already noticed Nagato Saburo's arrival in the water, her face turned red, she covered her body with her hands, and completely sank into the water, with only her face exposed.

Nagato Saburo watched obsessively, and he suddenly realized that the marriage arranged by his brother was very good.

Nagato Saburo turned around.

But he said he had no intention of breaking in, but even so, he would never forget this scene in his life.

Under the woman's surprised gaze, Nagato Saburo left the cave with spring water without looking back, but he did not never see each other again.

The next day, Saburo Nagato came again, but he didn't go anywhere. He just stood quietly in front of the shrine for a long time. Naru Shenharu did not come out. It was not until late at night that Saburo Nagato left.

Another day, Nagato Saburo came again, almost at the same time, and he stood still until the moon set before leaving.

Day after day, when there is a slanting wind and drizzle, when the scorching sun is in space, the wind and rain remain unchanged.

"Master Saburo, you don't have to be like this... Haru is about to be your wife, and I won't blame you." The door of the shrine finally opened one day.

"Finally I see you." Nagato Saburo smiled slightly, turned and left, "I'll come back tomorrow."

Come tomorrow, come the day after tomorrow, it will still be the same. Nagato Saburo started waving the wooden sword for practice in front of the shrine, while Narukami Haru was cleaning the courtyard.

There is prosperity in spring, fish in summer, flying geese in autumn, and snowflakes in winter. While walking back and forth on the long stone steps leading to the shrine, they, called days, just pass by.

The following year, Nagato Saburo married Naru Shenharu, which happened to be the day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

The newlywed time flies by very quickly.

The Nagato family also began to build a new house.

The head of the Nagato family is still Nagato Munechika, and Nagato Shinji, who is in his third year of school, also began to practice the secret secrets of the Nagato family's swordsmanship under the guidance of Nagato Munechika.

…

News of the war breaking out outside was spread to Zaodao Village by passing merchants. Nagato Saburo suddenly came to Nagato Munechika.

He looked at his brother, but found that his brother seemed to have less white hair on his temples... Is it just an illusion? My brother doesn't look good.

"Are you going to make great achievements?" Nagato Munechika was instructing Nagato Shinji in his training. After hearing this, he waved his hand and asked the young Nagato Shinji to leave.

"Yes, only by making achievements on the battlefield can I become a true warrior."

However, Nagato Sokika walked to the place where the weapons were placed, reached out and picked up a knife, and threw it in front of Nagato Saburo. The sword had not been sharpened yet. At the same time, Nagato Sokika also picked up the samurai sword that also had no slits.

"If you defeat me, I will allow you to leave, and I will support you and let you take the people of my family into the battlefield." Nagato Sokika's usual indifference: "But if you lose, you must agree to me a condition. Otherwise this matter Just pretend it didn’t happen.”

"Brother, you can't always maintain your peak condition." Nagato Saburo picked up the knife without any hesitation.

Even though he was newly married, he never slacked off in practicing swordsmanship. He would even let Ming Shenchun stay alone in the empty room when he practiced until late at night.

With one sword strike, Nagato Sokika surpassed Nagato Saburo's imagination, making it almost impossible for Nagato Saburo to hold the unsharp katana in his hand.

"You can't beat me." Nagato Sokika looked like an insurmountable mountain.

For Nagato Saburo, it has always been like this.

Just one move...can only resist one move? All these years of hard training...are they so cheap?

"No!" Nagato Saburo raised his katana again and made a desperate move!

Two moves. This time, Nagato Saburo persisted in two moves on Nagato Soukika's hand...but it was not something to be happy about. His katana had been swept to the ground. At the same time, his wrist was even more... There was a trace of bright red blood.

Nagato Saburo covered his wound in pain and looked at his brother in horror...the katana sword he opened was so sharp!

"You secretly learned the secret secret." Nagato Sokika snorted coldly.

"I...I didn't!"

Nagato Sokika sneered: "I teach Shinji every day, do you think I don't know that you are hiding aside to learn secretly? Saburo, if you weren't my brother, how could you secretly learn the secret secrets without permission?" For the crime, I will cut off your hand with the sword just now, so that you will never be able to hold a sword again in your life!"

"Brother, I...I..." Nagato Saburo knelt on the ground in horror, "Brother, I am more suitable than Shinji to learn the Nagato family's secret swordsmanship! Please let me become a real samurai!"

"Send Ming Shen Chun to me."

"What?!"

Nagato Sokika put down his sword and said calmly: "Send your wife to me. I can teach you the secret secrets, help you to join the battlefield and make achievements, and let you become a samurai."

"Nagato Souchika!!! How dare you!!"

"Don't forget what you learned secretly."

Nagato Munechika left indifferently, "Only tonight."

…

After the beginning of spring, Nagato Saburo looked expressionlessly under the congratulations of the villagers, and led ten people to the battlefield to join the army.

In the same year, Nagato Tsuruko was born.

In the past few years, Nagato Saburo only came back a few times and then left in a hurry.

Nagato Tsuruko was already six years old, and Ming Shenchun died of illness. Afterwards, Nagato Saburo returned to Nagato's home alone to recuperate.

"Sure enough, he is just a coward." Nagato Munechika seemed to know everything, "From now on, you stay here like a lost dog. You are a deserter and you can't go anywhere."

"……yes."

…

…

The Nagato Saburo in front of him seemed to think that he was in a dream, looking at Narukami Haru in the cage, confessing bit by bit what he had done.

"Death... is too terrifying." He turned pale and recalled what happened on the battlefield. "Someone's intestines were hanging on my body, and someone's head flew towards me. I was buried among the corpses until nightfall. , it seems that there are countless resentful spirits around me...I can't feel any warmth. After returning to Nagato's house, I couldn't even pick up the knife once...not even once."

"I dare not face you even more..." Nagato Saburo said painfully: "Haru... I took the things you exchanged from my brother, but I failed to make any achievements. In the end, I had no choice but to escape back to this place. Maybe I should die. , but I don’t even have the courage to die.”

The voice she spoke was not loud, but in this quiet dungeon, it was enough for Zi Xing and Mo Xiaofei who were hiding to hear clearly. The reason why Ming Shenchun was finally imprisoned here because of her death from illness was because she suddenly Crazy, he planned to tell others about the deal done by Nagato Saburo and Nagato Sokon.

Those secrets that everyone may have known for a long time, but no one told them. Everyone inside and outside the family knew it well, but they couldn't tolerate such straightforwardness.

"Brother said that he won't kill you, but he won't let you see anyone again... I, I don't even have the courage to resist." Nagato Saburo closed his eyes, "It doesn't matter once, even if it's just a dream. It doesn’t matter if I win once, it gives me the courage...ah!!!"

Nagato Saburo roared angrily.

"Chang! Men! Zong! Near! I! No! I am! Coward! Husband!"

He took another deep look at Narukami Haru, "Haru! I will bring Nagato Sokika's head to you!"

Turning around and running, the man who thought he was in a dream gained courage.

Long before Nagato Saburo went crazy, Zi Xing helped Mo Xiaofei and hid again without letting Nagato Saburo find him until he walked out of the dungeon all the way.

Mo Xiaofei and Zixing were silent.

After a long time, Zixing said calmly: "This time, time seems not to be reset."

Mo Xiaofei glanced at Nagato Hezi sadly. The things Nagato Saburo did were so disturbing that he couldn't even be called a man.

It's just that this kind of thing has always happened a lot, even in the real world outside of movies. Even in this civilized society, it seems...

"She should have resisted Nagato Saburo..." Mo Xiaofei said quietly.

"In your male-dominated society?" Zi Xing sneered.

Mo Xiaofei took a deep breath, but silently recited the scripture that Zi Xing gave him.

"Nagato Saburo thought he was still in a drunken dream... He was too excited. Maybe he would really deal with Nagato Sokika." Purple Star frowned suddenly.

Mo Xiaofei suddenly raised his head at this moment. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the void on the wall next to him, but he grabbed a torch directly back into his hand, "My power...is back!"

…

…

The cherry blossom trees suddenly fell a lot, and countless cherry blossoms fell from the sky, like a rain of flowers.

"boss!"

Dazhe appeared on a hillside.

At this time, Boss Luo was alone, looking far away, and turned around after hearing Dazhe's voice.

But he saw Dazhe tugging on his clothes, and then sniffing again. He took two steps forward, and then took two steps back as if he remembered something.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qiu looked at Dazhe's actions curiously.

"It's nothing... I'm dirty!"

Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Where's You Ye?"

"She should be back soon. She said she was taking care of some things." Dazhe didn't dare to say that the maid was going to change her clothes at the moment.

Luo Qiu shook his head, smiled, and suddenly said: "Dazhe, I want to ask you a question."

"Okay, ask!"

Boss Luo looked at the cherry blossom tree and asked in a low voice: "Do you think women have always been the vassals of men?"
