Chapter 1464 1436. Thirteen Sakura Village
I don’t know the reason or origin, but since I came to this world, I have been entangled with three invisible forces.
Although Lan En passed through [Body Light], he did not feel the malice of this power.
But to be cautious, he still wanted to find information from local people or this world to see what this power was about.
If this was some sort of 'self-defense mechanism' in this world, we could have dealt with it earlier if we had known about it.
With the idea of solving doubts and hidden dangers, Lan En rode his unicorn down the cliff, changed direction, and prepared to visit the village from the main entrance.
From Qilin's high-speed movement, Lan En already knew the general layout of the village.
This should indeed be a period similar to ancient Japan.
The reason why I say 'almost' is because Lan En has clearly discovered that there are supernatural powers in this world, so he only treats it as a world with similar development to some of the cultural backgrounds of his home world.
The deepest part of this village is undoubtedly the huge cherry blossom tree they saw when they first came out of the rift between the heaven and earth.
Shintoism, as Japan’s native religion, believes in ‘animism’.
In other words, mountains, rivers, and even man-made artifacts that have been used for a long time have their own spirituality and power. Therefore, it is normal for a huge evergreen tree to be used as an object of worship.
Outside the courtyard where the Changying Tree is located, the side hall is a small sacred hall, which should also be the residence of people with status such as village chiefs and priests.
The village is not big, but there are unexpectedly many people and it is quite lively.
Lan En guessed that it had something to do with the village's business.
The second half of the village is a large group of tombs, which should be about the same size as a residential area. It can be seen that this village has existed stably for a long time.
Otherwise, we would not be able to save such a large cemetery.
Could it be that this was a relatively stable era?
Lan En thought wildly.
Although it is clear that extraordinary power exists in this world, Lan En does not know the clear manifestation of extraordinary power.
Therefore, in order to prevent others from being frightened, he asked Fluffy Ball and Qilin to stand by at a distance while he went to the village alone.
The loess road, thanks to the lack of rain recently, is not covered with yellow mud.
As Lan En walked, he muttered the 50 Japanese syllables he learned in Ashina Assault.
"They should speak Japanese, right? Maybe?"
They did speak Japanese.
When he was still a short distance away from the village gate, Lan En had already heard the conversation of several people near the gate.
"Oh! It's Mr. Zentianbo! Are you here to take care of business again?"
"Ah, who doesn't want food these days? I have almost a hundred tons more rice now, and the cars are not enough. I want to see if you have any spare cars here that can be dispatched."
"Your business is really getting bigger and bigger."
The two gatekeepers should be the village's defense team or something, and the other is a traveling merchant.
Behind him were two horse-drawn wooden carts, which were piled high. Although they could barely move, they were slow and dangerous, and they had to move out to load other carts.
The so-called "tu" is a cylindrical container made of straw and hemp rope, used for storing and transporting grain.
The size is not standardized and has nothing to do with accuracy. It is just used as a quantifier in this person's mouth.
"Hey, I heard that the carriage is gone." The gatekeeper said in a joking tone, "Do you want an ox-cart, Mr. Zentianbo?"
The two gatekeepers were both wearing only a top, single pants on their legs, leggings tied with cloth strips on their calves, and straw sandals with Sanfu buckles on their feet.
And the closer he got, the more the doubts and hesitations in the man's eyes turned into a confusion of 'What the **** is going on?'
When the man stood completely in front of Lan En, the man who had pressed the handle of the knife just now and looked like he was ready to fight, now no longer had the unhesitating killing intent in his expression.
On the contrary, it is more similar to the embarrassment of "This person won't trouble me."
The changes in the two emotions were very obvious in Lan En's eyes.
After all, the first reaction of the former is to start fighting, while the first reaction of the latter is to negotiate.
"This... uh, sir?"
He seemed a little unsure of how to address Lan En, so he looked the witcher up and down vaguely and hesitantly spoke tentatively.
"I wonder who you are...?"
Daisuke Kikuchi really felt at a loss, he had never seen this person before!
Lan En is 2.5 meters tall and has a perfect physique to go with it. To be honest, I have never seen Daisuke Kikuchi even on the statue of Nio outside the Buddhist temple!
As for the living person in front of him, his skin is tender and fair, and it goes without saying that he is a noble person from a good background.
The face was so handsome that it was almost enchanting. If he hadn't been approaching from a distance just now and slowly saw this face clearly, Daisuke Kikuchi might have been stunned.
The armor on his body is thick, and although the shape is novel and a bit ferocious, Daisuke Kikuchi is not an inexperienced person.
Rather than the shape of the armor, he was more concerned about how much it would cost. And what kind of status and background does so much money represent?
"You don't have to call me 'my lord', there is no affiliation between us. I'm here, Lan En."
"Your full name is 'Lan En'?" Daisuke Kikuchi blinked and seemed to think hard, "Are you from the Ming Dynasty?"
Japanese civilians don't have surnames, but no matter how he looked at Lan En, with his temperament and demeanor, it was impossible for him to be a mud-legged person without a name.
The witcher also blinked, then nodded mechanically.
Is the opposite side of the sea here also called the Ming Kingdom?
"Yeah! He is from the Ming Dynasty. He learned his skills from the Nanbarians and the local people."
As he spoke, Lan En's lips showed a smile mixed with memories.
He still remembered how he introduced himself to Ashina when he first came to Ashina.
And when he looked at the samurai who came from the village, the sword and clothing he wore were similar to those of the people in Ashina Kingdom back then.
The shape of clothes and weapons can reflect the times from the side.
Daisuke Kikuchi was a little dazed by that smile at first, and then after listening to Lan En's self-introduction of family status, he was even more stunned that his brain couldn't handle it.
I can understand a few words, but when put together, what kind of hodgepodge is this?
Daisuke Kikuchi felt the same emotion in his heart as everyone else in Ashina Country once did.
But no matter what, the person in front of me should not be a monster.
Daisuke Kikuchi can only make the most superficial judgment at the moment.
Because after getting close to Lan En, he didn't have the uncomfortable feeling of coming into contact with monsters.
Although he has only faced one or two hungry ghosts, there is no doubt that he is already the most knowledgeable person in Shisanying Village. Still a samurai!
"This is Daisuke Kikuchi!"
He bowed and saluted very impressively and shouted at the same time.
"Tian is a samurai under the command of His Highness Ando Morisuke, the lord of Iwamura City, and is also a disciple of the Thirteen Sakura Village."
