Codex Pirates

Chapter Fourteen Koshiro

(Recently, I checked the information and read a little "Fudozhi Shenmiaolu" by Zen master Zean Zongpeng. I feel that my soul has been purified, and I have turned grief and anger into motivation. I wrote another chapter. I am really a great single dog !)

Yixin Taoist Temple is located outside Shuangyue Village. There is a courtyard with blue bricks and white tiles among the paddy fields arranged like a checkerboard, which looks quite artistic from a distance.

The courtyard is similar to the Japanese style, and it is firmly protected by a layer of walls, from which there are faint and neat slogans.

William and the others were not the first group of teenagers who came to learn swords because of their fame, and they probably would not be the last group. The four of them honestly came to the door to explain their intentions. Go inside the largest house in the courtyard.

This is a spacious and empty hall. More than a dozen children wearing training clothes and holding bamboo knives are repeating the basic movements of swordsmanship under the slogan of the only elder in the room.

But after all, they were all a group of children. When William and the others took off their shoes along with their beards and walked into the hall, they saw four outsiders who did not wear training uniforms. Some are scattered.

Since entering the courtyard, Aramis's eyes have been rolling around, looking around non-stop. When he saw the ugly green training clothes uniformly worn by the students in the dojo, he slammed his mouth dissatisfied.

Koshiro, the master of the dojo, is directing the training of these children. He is quite tall and wears a simple kimono. This kind of loose clothing sets off his thin figure. In addition, he wears a pair of round-rimmed glasses. , with long black hair tied into a ponytail, it always makes people feel that he is more like a middle-aged literary artist than a swordsmanship teacher.

Koshiro was not angry with the children who were distracted. After the bearded man came to him and explained the purpose of William's people, he told the children in the hall to rest for a while.

One moment before, the eyes of these brats were still floating around on William and the others, and the next moment they heard the break, they cheered, and ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only two curious ones lying outside the door and looking inside. movement.

Koshiro ignored them, but took a closer look at William and the other four, and William was also observing each other secretly.

Koshiro looked very kind, with a smile on his face all the time, and I don't know if it was because of myopia, his eyes were always squinted habitually, maybe because of his previous prejudice, William felt that he was not simple.

However, Koshiro is not simple, and it is impossible to see through the essence of William's traverser, so he treats him differently, and even bows to him. He just focused on observing the calluses on the hands of several people, and then asked whether William and the others had a foundation in swordsmanship.

Ajin, Aramis, and Wallon used to fight and fight based on actual combat experience such as street fights. After getting together with William, they learned some actual combat skills related to swordsmanship from him, which may not even count as half-baked.

William had received some swordsmanship instruction in a serious way, but unfortunately the original master didn't study it seriously, but he had laid a certain foundation so that he didn't have to learn swords again.

These things, if Koshiro is a master of swordsmanship, you can’t hide them, if Koshiro is a mediocre person, there is no need to hide them, so William told the truth, and Koshiro doesn’t seem to be a person who pays attention to sectarianism. Where to start learning.

Koshiro chatted with the four teenagers for a while, learned about their recent situation, and after knowing that they came from other places, he kindly asked them if they would like to live in the dojo first, but William declined.

The four of them are expected to study and practice here for a long time. William knows that Koshiro is not as simple as it looks on the outside. Living in the dojo is equivalent to doing everything under Koshiro's eyes, which is very inconvenient.

Koshiro made a suggestion and gave up.

William and the other four, under the leadership of the bearded man, paid the tuition fee and took the training clothes. They were informed of the daily training arrangement of the dojo and some precautions along the way. A few still need to find a place to stay.

Apart from the courtyard, seeing that there were no outsiders around, Wallon asked the doubts that had been held in his stomach for a long time: "That is the master of the dojo, Koshiro? Why doesn't it look like it, he looks more like, more like... …”

Wallon thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an exact adjective, so it was Aramis who helped to pick it up: "Like teaching people to read!"

Wallon clapped his hands in agreement, but found that neither William, Ajin, nor Aramis, who had just helped him answer the conversation, all looked disapproving.

Aramis said: "Didn't you notice the calluses on his hands? You can't find them just by flipping through the book."

Wallon stopped talking, and the four of them discussed where to live. Aramis felt that their days of training in the dojo would be very difficult, so the residence was very important and must be comfortable, but Ah Jin thought that good steel should be Spend wisely, none of them know how much Denton's treasures are, so don't be greedy to enjoy and waste the funds in your hands.

Wallon has always had no opinions, and in the end it was William who made the decision and took a compromise.

William himself is a person who has struggled in society, and Aramis is also the son of a merchant. The two easily found a role similar to a real estate agency in the village. Such a chaotic tavern is temporarily staying.

The next day, the four of William were not in a hurry to go to the dojo. Yesterday, William had already told the bearded man about finding a place to live. The four of them wandered around with the agent all morning, and finally settled on a village outside the village. A remote small courtyard, because this courtyard is far away from the bustling dock area, so the price is not expensive, but it is relatively close to the Yixin Dojo, which is suitable for four people.

William is a person who doesn't like to deal with such trivial matters, so he bought it without much bargaining.

After finishing a lot of formalities and making the small courtyard officially belong to the four people, it was already afternoon.

Aramis had been looking for an excuse to get busy all day today, so he simply slacked off going to the dojo for training, but he turned off the fire after being glared at by William.

A few people came to the dojo, and they found a red-haired boy who was about their age from a long distance away, stretching his neck, looking at the main road opposite the main entrance like a husband stone.

William originally thought that the other party was waiting for other people, but he didn't expect that when they approached, the red-haired boy didn't move, but his head followed the four of them in half a circle, which was very funny.

The red-haired boy stared wide-eyed and remained silent. He waited until William and the others were about to pass him and enter the gate, then he deliberately cleared his throat loudly.

William figured out a lot of things as soon as he turned his head, turned around with a smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand: "My name is William, I guess Mr. Koshiro asked you to wait for us here?"

The red-haired boy grinned and stepped forward to hold William's right hand: "Edmond, you guessed right, the teacher asked me to help you learn some basics of swordsmanship for a while..., are you from other places? By the way , are you pirates?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.
