Li Zicheng knew that he was no match for the Niuguan Japanese pirates, so he cursed a few words toward the city wall and continued to flee eastward.
"Why did the Japanese know our whereabouts? Is there a female agent?"
Li Zicheng was confused, so he had to avoid the towns along the way and continue on his way.
The days are short in winter, and it’s noon before I know it. I’m hungry and thirsty, covered in stinky sweat, and don’t dare to stop. It’s miserable.
Passing by a pine forest, I rested under a pine tree.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Li, why don't you drink anymore?"
When he looked back, it was Jiang Liuer, and Li Zicheng said angrily:
"Last night I left a hungry man alone and escaped on my own. I was almost captured by the Japanese pirates!"
He turned over and beat Jiang Liu'er.
Jiang Liu'er moved away gently and said with a smile: "The Japanese pirates surrounded the inn last night. Brother Wu led people to lead them to the north of the city, so you had to escape. It's true that dogs bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the heart of a good person."
Several soldiers following behind also nodded.
Wu Xiao looked at Li Zicheng up and down, and said calmly: "Fortunately, no one was injured or killed, and they all escaped. The Japanese pirates have a large army stationed at Niuguan."
Li Zicheng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he saw Jiang Liu'er take out a few cooking cakes from his arms and eat them himself.
Smelling the fragrant aroma of pancakes, Li Zicheng shouted loudly: "I've been here since midnight and haven't eaten anything. Give me a pancake."
Jiang Liu'er said: "We still have several days to go to Edo. Do you still want to drink?"
Li Zicheng said quickly: "I won't drink anymore."
Stop talking.
Everyone continued on their way without incident, and three days later, they meandered to the outside of Edo Castle.
Wu Xiao asked Li Zicheng and Jiang Liu'er to look around first. Jiang Liu'er pretended to be a warrior and Li Zicheng pretended to be a servant.
The two of them searched around Edo for two days, but did not find a monk. They searched the small streets and alleys of the city for another day, but still found no news.
Li Zicheng was anxious and cursed: "Where are these bald donkey birds hiding? If I find them, chop off their heads and use them as chamber pots."
Jiang Liu'er glared at him and said, "They are not ordinary monks. If we bump into them, we might be caught on the mountain and harvest yang to replenish yin."
"What? Picking up yang and replenishing yin, what the hell is that?"
Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Old monk, both men and women are welcome."
The two chatted and joked for a while, then walked out of Edo Castle that evening, met Wu Xiao and others outside the city, and told everyone what they had seen and heard in the past few days.
After hearing this, Wu Xiao asked everyone to rest outside the city first, and got up early the next day to search for nearby villages and towns outside the city.
When Jiang Liu'er saw the old man, he bowed to him and asked where the eminent monk from Huoshan lived, but no one recognized him.
Wu Xiao and Li Zicheng also asked dozens of places, but found nothing.
At noon that day, Jiang Liuer and Wu Xiao were feeling hungry after walking. They saw a noodle shop on the side of the road with a sign that read Yixiu. They went straight in to buy some island snacks.
The store was full and there was no empty seat.
A short waiter came forward to talk to the two of them. Li Zicheng listened twice and had no idea what the waiter was talking about. Jiang Liuer was familiar with Japanese and the translator said, the waiter wanted us to sit together with the old man.
"What? How can I squeeze it in?"
Li Zicheng was about to get angry when Jiang Liuer stopped him.
But seeing an old man occupying a large seat by himself, Jiang Liuer stepped forward to salute him, and the two sat across from each other.
Li Zicheng sat next to Jiang Liu'er and whispered: "Where is your tigress? I'm afraid it was captured by the Japanese, cooked and eaten."
Jiang Liuer glared at him and said nothing.
Jiang Liuer ordered four rice balls, two pieces of sashimi, two pieces of sushi, four pieces of tempura, fried mutton, takoyaki, roasted incense, and ajiso soup...
The waiter listened calmly to Jiang Liuer's report. He didn't confirm it again, looked at the two of them up and down, turned around and walked out.
Li Zicheng said there was not enough food.
Jiang Liu'er said, "I'll eat two rice balls, one portion of soup, and give you the rest. Isn't that enough?"
Li Zicheng said loudly in Japanese: "Ten, ten, I can finish them!"
After waiting for a long time, no food was delivered, but wine and food were served from time to time at the tables nearby. Li Zicheng saw this and felt anxious.
I saw the waiter bringing a piece of takoyaki and placing it in front of the old man sitting opposite. The old man was not humble and picked up the takoyaki to eat.
Li Zicheng was impatient. When he saw this, he screamed: "Baga! I've been waiting for all this time! Why haven't the dishes been served yet?"
The guy was long gone.
He slapped the table, and before his palm even touched the tabletop, the old man on the other side knocked over the bowl. The bowl of takoyaki in front of him flew up and fell under the table. The porcelain bowl smashed into pieces.
Hearing the noise, the Japanese who were immersed in eating stood up almost at the same time. Several of them still had dazzling knives on their waists.
Jiang Liu'er looked at the scene in front of him and knew that he had encountered a black shop, so he quickly dragged Li Zicheng out.
Before Li Zicheng could react, the old man eating takoyaki had already rolled up his sleeves, revealing the blue dragon tattoo on his wrist.
Apparently he was also a member of the 17th century society. He grabbed Li Zicheng across the table and yelled in a thick Kansai accent:
"Haga! Nana's たこ焼きをひっくり回した's ですか! (You bastard, why did you knock down my octopus balls!)"
Li Zicheng pushed the old man away and said angrily: "You're the one who wants to touch porcelain. Since when have I been next to you?"
After saying that, he raised his fist like a sandbag and was about to hit the old man.
Jiang Liuer hurriedly drank.
The old man didn't waste any words. He suddenly pulled out the short knife he had hidden under the table and stabbed Li Zicheng directly.
Li Zicheng flew up and kicked the dagger out.
The surrounding diners also stepped forward and surrounded the two people.
There is poetry to prove it:
Li Chuang had always been a strong-willed man and offended an older man. The octopus splashed on his face and said Crusu in anger.
Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Jiang Liuer quickly spoke to the old man in Japanese:
"Old man, this servant of mine is a rough man. He comes from the country. I don't think he has the same experience as him. I will give you a portion of takoyaki."
The old man from the mixed club loosened Li Zicheng's collar, and a ronin came up next to him and shouted loudly:
"It's obviously two portions of takoyaki. If you knock over two portions, you'll only get one. Isn't this bullying the elderly?"
"Yeah, I spilled two takoyaki, but I only paid for one bowl."
Li Zicheng said angrily: "Fart! I think he only has one bowl!"
A group of ronin gathered around and looked at the old man: "How many bowls have you eaten?
The old man blurted out: "Two bowls."
A fat ronin with a thick build and a blue dragon and white tiger tattoo on his arm pushed the old man away, pointed at Jiang Liuer Li Zicheng and cursed:
"Aren't you bullying the elderly? If you don't give me an explanation today, you two will not leave and you will be sent to the city to be beheaded by the Tatars!"
Li Zicheng became furious and drew his sword.
The fat ronin smiled and said:
"Take a knife to scare us. In Edo, who doesn't have a knife?"
The old man returned to his true self at this time, with a ferocious smile on his face and said: "You are unlucky to meet us. Who makes you look rich? In Edo, you can't survive without money."
"Leave all your money, or two hands!"
Li Zicheng smiled coldly and was about to rush forward when Jiang Liuer stopped him, raised his dagger, stared at the old man's abdomen and said:
"Whether it's one bowl of takoyaki or two bowls, you'll know just by looking at it."
After that, he kicked towards the old man, and the old man hurriedly ducked to the side.
Jiang Liu'er stepped forward
Coming up is the left jab
A right whip leg
At the same time, one left positive pedal
Although the old man is an old member of the Edo society, he did not expect that the thick-browed Jiang Liu'er would also launch a surprise attack.
So I was careless and didn’t dodge
Jiang Liuer smiles
Hit the right leg with a whip
A left kick
One slap five times in a row
Between the lightning and flint, the battle
The fight is over.
Jiang Liuer captured the old man, raised the sharp knife, pointed it at the abdomen, and slashed.
Pfft.
The dagger in Li Zicheng's hand has been replaced by two short blunderbuss, one on each side, and his finger is on the trigger.
A reckless ronin shouted "Baga" and rushed forward. He just took two steps when there was a bang and a firecracker exploded. The ronin flew five or six steps away as if he was hit by a hammer. He was so dead that he couldn't die anymore. .
Li Zicheng blew on the muzzle of his gun, turned to his companions and said:
"Lao Li, where is the takoyaki? It's too shallow, I can't see it."
The old man's abdomen was cut open, and he screamed like a slaughtered pig, and blood flowed into a pool.
Li Zicheng glanced at the old man, smiled slightly, and guided Jiang Liu'er to continue the operation:
"The octopus is in the intestines. You have to pull it sideways so they can see it."
Jiang Liuer stretched out his hand and wiped his face, looking at Ronin with his face covered in blood:
"Come on, let everyone come and see if it's one bowl or two bowls. Come on!"
The people in the room were frightened by his momentum and didn't know what to do for a moment, but they heard a tiger's roar coming from outside the door, like a bolt from the blue.
The ronai looked at each other and some of them started to wet their pants.
Boom!
Katcha!
The next second, the tigress Matsushita, who was as tall as a person, crashed into the store, waved her huge tiger claws, and slapped off half of the fat Ronin's head. The remaining Ronin screamed and ran away. The few who walked slowly were all eaten by Matsushita. One, swallowed whole.
The old man was shocked by what happened in front of him, staring at his slashed belly and trembling.
Only then did he realize that he had met a ruthless person today.
Jiang Liuer leaned over and stared into his eyes, and said seriously:
"Old man, you just have to eat well, why do you want to touch porcelain?"
The old man was seriously injured and said in a low voice: "Hero, spare your life, this is my first time doing this. I had planned to eat takoyaki early and go back to the Eight Immortals Mountain to listen to the method of immortality. However, I missed my journey and was forced by these ronin. ····》
Jiang Liuer nodded with a smile and asked, "Where is this old man from? Who is listening to talk about the method of immortality?"
The old man's voice was low and his breathing began to become weak.
"The old man...listened to Master Chun Shen's talk about the method of immortality."
Jiang Liu'er thought, "Could it be that the bald donkey is there too?"
So he continued to ask the old man: "Old man, do you think the mountain is Master Huiran's disciple?"
The old man nodded laboriously.
Jiang Liu'er smiled and said, "It's just that you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!"
Jiang Liuer paid his respects again and asked, "How far away is the Eight Immortals Mountain from here? Is the host still here?"
The old man's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Twenty-five miles. Master Chun Shen is the top disciple of the eminent monk Hui Ran. He can live forever."
"Too bad I'm going to die."
Jiang Liu'er wanted to ask again, but the old man tilted his head and died.
Jiang Liu'er was so happy that Li Zicheng went to the kitchen to find a torch, knocked over the wine, and burned down the shop.
The two looked at the raging fire, and Li Zicheng asked: "Jiang Liu'er, should we go back to report the news first, or should we kill directly?"
Jiang Liuer watched Panasonic disappear into the dense forest and thought for a moment.
"Let's go to the Eight Immortals Mountain to explore first."
After saying that, the two of them left the inn and immediately rushed towards the Eight Immortals Mountain. The two of them walked quickly and reached their destination in just an hour.
I've seen that fairy mountain a long time ago, it's really beautiful.
There is poetry to prove it:
The green mountains are cut green, and the green hills are piled with clouds.
The two cliffs are divided into tigers and dragons, and there are apes and cranes on all sides.
In the morning, you can see the clouds sealing the top of the mountain, and in the evening, you can see the sun hanging on the treetops.
The flowing water is murmuring, the jade pei is singing in the stream, the waterfall is flying, and the Yao Qin is faintly playing in the cave.
If it weren't for the Taoist monks practicing medicine, there would be immortals who would refine the medicine.
When they arrived at the Eight Immortals Mountain, after confirming that Chun Shen Tulu was still preaching about the method of immortality, the two of them pretended to be woodcutter.
Husband, quietly advance towards the mountainside.
