Tide of weaving, three quarters.Sawara field.Huang Donglai, who was carrying Nishikichiyo on his back and luggage in his hand, walked on this country road with Keijiro at this time.After Huang Donglai's treatment before, the wound on Keijiro's body is basically fine, and Keijiro has already taken back the Zhu gun, which can be used as a crutch to some extent, so it is no problem to walk normally.As for Huang Donglai......
As the saying goes, those who can work harder, anyway, for people with deep internal strength, just walking with weight is not a big deal.So where are these three going at this moment?
The destination has already been decided - Sawara Castle, the treasure storehouse.Yes, it is the place where Sun Yihuan originally wanted to find before the tide of weaving, and where the Sawara clan stored valuables.However, Huang Dong came to them, not because he wanted to find Qi Longbi like Brother Sun did at that time, but because he wanted to find something else......
After all, Huang Donglai is a time-traveler, with a vision and imagination beyond this era, so he based on the information Keijiro has, the scroll delivered by the "other Nishikichiyo", and some of the information dictated by the Nishikichiyo in front of him......
I've almost guessed that the anomaly here is a kind of space-time chaos.What's more, after hearing the origin of the "god" or "fallen me", Huang Donglai immediately understood that this thing was not a ghost at all, it was just an alien creature.Of course, that doesn't mean it's easier to deal with than ghosts......
It's just that in terms of thinking about it, it can be a little more explicit.Seeing this, some people may be asking again, so who is this Nishikichiyo?
Why does he know so much?
We'll have to talk about that......
Let's say that during the Wenji period, that is, three or four hundred years ago, more than a century had passed since the "first sacrifice".It just so happened that there was also a war going on in this era, and there was a rather powerful force that was eyeing Sawara and wanted to annex it.The war began in the spring of one year and lasted until the fall.At that time, the head of the Sawara clan, Sawara Yasuharu, already knew that this battle could not be won in the spring, so in desperation, he thought of going to the "gods" to make a deal, and according to the "gods"'s request, he sent people to sneak out by sea to collect treasures.In the fall, the people he sent out returned with a batch of rare treasures, and he picked out the most valuable "Fragment of the Heavenly Cloud Sword" and presented it, and we all know the consequences of this transaction, that is, it triggered the first wave of Sawara.And before this event, there was actually an episode.The transaction to present the "Celestial Cloud Sword Fragment" took place in the second year of a certain festival year.The year before, in the year of the festival, a young man had snuck into the Sawara clan's mansion and tried to get in touch with the offerings and persuaded him to escape.And this boy who slipped in was Nishikichiyo.The identity of Nishikichiyo is vaguely aware of many officials, as we mentioned in the previous book - in the past few hundred years of sacrifices, there was once a sacrifice that secretly left an heir, and this child grew up to learn from his mother what happened to his father, so he wanted to destroy the sacrifice to take revenge.That's right, Nishikichiyo was this child, he was thirteen years old that year, because his mother died of illness at the beginning of the year, and told him the truth about his life before he died, so he did this.So what was the situation of Nishikichiyo before learning the truth?
In fact, his childhood was not bad......
Nishikiyo's mother used to be a maid working in Sawara Castle, and after having a child unexpectedly with her predecessor, Sahara Yasuharu didn't kill her, but put her under house arrest.Even though Nishikichiyo's father was no longer there, Sawara Yasuji still let his mother and son live in a house in Sawara Castle for more than ten years, and even allowed Nishikiyo to move around parts of the city, including going to a nearby school to read and write.Of course, this is also conditional, and Nishikichiyo's mother promised to "never tell the child about his origins" in exchange for such a life.If she really brought this secret to the grave, then maybe Nishikichiyo's fate would be very different, and the adult Nishikichiyo would probably be adopted as a family leader or even an adopted son by the Sawara clan's gang of father-killing enemies, and given an official name (Nishikiyo is a "child name"), and live a good life from now on.But Nishikiyo's mother has true feelings for the sacrifice of the previous generation, and she also feels that it is unfair to deceive the child for a lifetime, so before she died, she finally told Nishikiyo the truth and let the child decide what to do in the future.And what about Nichiyo......
Maybe it was because he read the sages early, but he was only thirteen years old at the time, but he was a man with a clear distinction between right and wrong and a strong character; He didn't give up his hatred because the Sawara clan provided for their mother and son's life, and he didn't even wait, he was going to take action immediately.It can also be seen here that this is still a child after all, if he is a little older and more mature, he may "persuade himself" and "persuade himself", even if he still can't let go of revenge in his heart, he will endure it for a few more years, and wait until he is full-fledged, or when he successfully penetrates the enemy, then he can obviously achieve better results.Of course, when that time comes, will he still be able to insist on the idea of revenge, will he change from "temporarily persuading himself" to "persuading himself forever"......
It's hard to say.Our life is such a process of continuous self-compromise, struggling in the whirlpool of "love" and "reason", and slowly losing courage and corners with the accumulation of years, until one day, even no longer dwelling on everything that has been lost.In the end, we will compromise every miss, every regret, and every point in our lives......
It is said to be a growing experience, a parting that there is no need to regret, a precious treasure, and then be content with the status quo and become an old and calm soul.Nishikiyo did not embark on such a path, but I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune.His "revenge operation" was discovered, and although he managed to meet the "sacrifice" of his father's successor, a teenager about his own age, and began lobbying, he was soon discovered and captured by the guards.This time, even if Sahara Yasuji still wanted to let him go, it was impossible for the other elders in the family to agree.So, Nishikichiyo was sent to a secret prison outside Sawara Castle, which was the Buddha hall in the previous chapters.The cells hidden in the underground tunnels of the Buddha Hall are small in size and are generally not used in normal times; Nichiyo was imprisoned there for less than a year, and became extremely weak due to factors such as lack of sunlight, lack of water and food, and inability to exercise.That's why, when Misaku Sawara received orders to escort him back to the city, he couldn't even walk.
