Chapter 2 The Contest in front of the Temple

As Takayama walked, he felt that something seemed wrong, didn't he say that this Nagoya Festival was one of the most important festivals in Aichi Prefecture, and why didn't he even see a figure after walking for a long time? Is it over? No, it's only been two hours, and even if it's over, someone should come down from the mountain.

When Takayama came to the Atsuta Shrine not far away, he was immediately relieved, it turned out that everyone was here, and at a glance, there must be two or three thousand people, and ninety percent of these people were wearing bucket river pockets that were only worn by Ashigaru, and they were quite shabby, and only a few people were wearing carcasses or belly rolls.

I saw that some of them were chatting together, and some were sitting on the ground eating rice balls, and Gao Shan glanced at the brand-new set of current equipment on his body again, and strode over proudly.

As soon as he approached, many of them dressed in light clothes immediately said respectfully, "See your Excellency!" ”

Gao Shan thought to himself, it seems that these people are all performance teams, doesn't it mean that the guards of Oda Nobunaga and others performed during the event, it seems that these people should be, but these extras don't need to be so into the play, look at the quality of other extras, they are much stronger than those in China, and the acting should be like this, as long as the play begins, no matter what is played, but it must be integrated. Look at their height, the tall ones are more than one meter six, and the short ones are only one meter four, it seems that Japan really does not attach great importance to this celebration, otherwise where would I find so many dwarfs.

After sighing in his heart, he realized that there seemed to be no audience at all except for the extras, so he hurriedly asked one of the taller actors, "May I ask if everyone is inside?" ”

"Lord Hui, yes, the lord and others are worshipping inside."

After listening to Gao Shan's "poof", he laughed, "Ha Luha, it's okay, it's a hot day, you don't have to be so dedicated." After speaking, he walked into Atsuta Shrine.

The Atsuta Shrine seemed to be empty, and there were no gods and shrine maidens inside, but I saw more than a dozen people dressed as low-ranking samurai dressed as carcass, and they were walking around the courtyard. How can there be a shadow of tourists here, Takayama understands a little, it is estimated that the group of actors at the door saw that they were dressed too well, and regarded themselves as crew members, and obviously the Nagoya Festival has not started yet, otherwise these people would not be hanging around here.

Just listen, the bell in the main hall of the shrine is ringing, and Takayama thinks to himself, anyway, it's all in, so let's go in and visit.

There were about fifty people in the main hall, and unlike those outside, it could be seen that the armor worn by these people was quite luxurious, but it was much worse than that worn by Gao Shan.

At this moment, these people were praying with their backs to the gate and facing the idol, but the prayer was soon over, and when they turned around, Takayama asked, "I'm sorry to disturb your rehearsal, may I ask how to get to the auditorium?" ”

I saw that these people were very unfriendly and drew their swords, or held their spears, and pointed their knives and spears at the mountains. Looking at this momentum, Gao Shan was really a little panicked in his heart, didn't he just disturb your rehearsals, as for such a knife and gun.

The group was led by a young man wearing a red gold silk armor, who stood in the center and asked solemnly, "I'm Oda Nobunaga, who are you?" ”

Takayama suddenly laughed and said, "Ha Ha Ha, you are Oda Nobunaga?" Then Lao Tzu is still the Prime Minister of Japan! ”

The young man frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but a few others began to talk. "Prime Minister of Japan? Uchizosuke, have you ever heard of that name? ”

The man standing next to him, known as Uchizosuke, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, but then again, it's a strange name, and I don't think I've ever heard of a samurai family named Japan." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

The conversation between these two people was all listened to by Gao Shan word for word. This... What the hell is going on? The Japanese probably don't joke about their own national leaders, and they don't pretend to look at their expressions. Takayama looked up at the young man in front of him again, and it was basically the same as the portrait of Oda Nobunaga he had seen, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, I damn it! Lao Tzu won't be crossed. Others crossing is either an air crash, a tsunami, no matter how bad it is, you have to blow a wind, a thunder or something, at least you have to have a little hint, a little preparation in your heart, but Lao Tzu is good, I crossed unconsciously, God, don't bring such a playful person. ,

I saw that Oda Nobunaga was just about to speak, when suddenly a samurai broke into the door and said loudly: "Report! The lord, Nemaru has been defeated by Matsudaira Motoyasu, and all the people of Sakuma and below have been killed. ”

Oda Nobunaga said lightly: "Zhilu Dao, retreat." ”

The silence in the hall was broken by a "bang" sound, and I saw a samurai sword in his hand fall to the ground, and the man with the knife shouted with a sad face: "Brother, eldest brother will definitely help you avenge." ”

Oda Nobunaga didn't care about this samurai, but stared at Takayama with sharp eyes, and Takayama felt furious in his heart, if Sakuragi Hanamichi practiced his kung fu to kill people with his eyes, then he would be considered a teacher.

Just when Takayama was thinking nonsense, Oda Nobunaga asked again: "Your name is the Prime Minister of Japan?" Who sent you, say! ”

"I....In the Shimotakayama Senbei clan, my father's father Hida country Takayama Castle lord Takayama Waiji, half a month ago, Ji Xiaolu's family took advantage of the unpreparedness at home, and came to attack for no reason, and the Takayama family perished, only in the next person escaped, I have long heard that Lord Oda is a virtuous person, and I wanted to come back to each other after some experience outside, but on the way I heard that the Imagawa family sent 25,000 troops to Kamiluo, and Owari bore the brunt of it, as soon as he learned the news that the adults swore to resist to the death, he immediately rushed to the next, and asked the adults to be included in the next retainers." Takayama replied in a hurry.

Oda Nobunaga nodded, before this, there were indeed ninjas who reported the news of the demise of the Takayama family in Hida Country, but in his opinion, the Takayama family was just a small wealthy clan with only a few thousand stones of land, of course he wouldn't care. When I saw the Gao Shan clan, I remembered this again.

Oda Nobunaga said coldly: "Since the door of the family is destroyed, why are you the only one who lives?" ”

The Gaoshan clan scolded in his heart, I damn it! This group of people are crazy, dare to love Lao Tzu and not die, to the point that it is abnormal, what kind of logic is this. But although he thought so in his heart, he said respectfully: "My lord, you can't die below, and you have to keep this life for your family... The father of the family takes revenge, and there is only one person left in the Gaoshan family, and there is still the heavy responsibility of restoring the family name below, how can he talk about life and death lightly. ”

Nobunaga thought that what he said was quite reasonable, so he no longer dwelled on this issue, but asked with interest, "Since you want to restore your home, what are you capable of?" ”

The clan thought for a moment and said confidently: "I am proficient in the art of war." ”

Oda Nobunaga said without hesitation: "Uchizosuke, go over and try it." ”

"Yes, my lord."

A samurai who is less than one meter six, but very stocky, came to the clan sect, the clan was a little puzzled, even if you try the art of war, you don't need to let Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's mud legs appear, this is too much to look down on me, the clan made up his mind, if he didn't refute Zuo Chengzheng's speechlessness, it would not be considered a success.

Clan Zong followed Zuo Chengzheng to the outside of the main hall, only to see a small surname handed over two wooden knives to Zuo Zuo Chengzheng and Clan Zong one each, Clan Zong took it, looked at it, and saw a piece of cloth tied to the head of the wooden knife, the cloth was coated with white ash, and there was cotton in it.

The clan thought to himself that he was clearly proficient in the art of war just now, how could he compare it to martial arts? Yes! Not good! He suddenly remembered that during the Warring States period in Japan, the art of war was the meaning of martial arts, and they were in charge of arranging troops, marching and fighting were called military law. This is over, and Lao Tzu's reputation in this life will be completely ruined by the language barrier.

However, the clan thought about it, the other party was only 1.58 meters tall, and he was 1.78 meters tall, in his opinion, the other party was equivalent to the physical fitness of a junior high school student, maybe it was not as good, and the other party grew up eating miscellaneous fish and rotten vegetable leaves, can it be compared with eating meat every day. Thinking of this, the clan had a little confidence.
