Chapter 14 Geng Siro

(Recently checking the information, I read the "The Magical Record of Immortal Wisdom" by Zen Master Zean Zongpeng. I felt that my mind was purified, turning grief and anger into motivation, and I wrote another chapter. I am really a great single dog!)

Yixin Taoist temple is located outside Shuangyue Village. A courtyard with blue bricks and white tiles is located in the chessboard-like paddy fields, which looks quite artistic from a distance.

The courtyard is similar to the Japanese style, with a layer of walls firmly protecting it, and neat slogans are faintly heard from it.

William and others were not the first teenagers to come to learn swordsmanship, and probably not the last ones. The four of them honestly came to explain their purpose. Under the leadership of a middle-aged man in a kimono and bearded, they came to the largest house in the courtyard.

This is a spacious and empty hall. More than a dozen children were wearing training suits and holding bamboo knives. Under the slogan of the only elderly man in the house, they were repeating the basic movements of swordsmanship in a slogan.

But in the end, they were all a group of children. When William and the other two took off their shoes with their beards and walked into the hall, they saw four outsiders who were not wearing training suits coming in. The children who had been training hard before were inevitably distracted.

Since entering the courtyard, Alamis' eyes have been spinning and constantly looking around. When he saw the ugly green training suits that the dojo students were wearing, he would smash them if he was not satisfied.

The one who directed the training of this group of children was Koshiro, the owner of the dojo. He was quite tall and dressed in a simple kimono. This loose costume made him look a little thin. In addition, he wore a pair of round-frame glasses and his long black hair was tied into a ponytail. It always made people feel that he looked like a middle-aged literary and artistic teacher than a swordsman.

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

The kids' eyes were floating around William and others the moment before. The next moment they heard the rest, they cheered, and in the blink of an eye, they ran away, leaving only two curious lying outside the door of the house and looking at the movement inside.

Koshiro didn't care about them, but looked at William and the other two carefully, and William was also observing each other secretly.

Koshiro looked very kind, with a smile on his face. I don’t know if it was because of myopia, but his eyes always squinted habitually. Perhaps because of his previous prejudice, William felt that he was not simple.

However, no matter how simple Koshiro is, he cannot see through the essence of William's time traveler, so he treats him differently, and even bows to him. He just focused on observing the calluses on several people's hands, and then asked William and others if they had a foundation in swordsmanship.

Akin, Alamis and Wallonia used to fight and fight practical experiences such as street fighting. After gathering with William, he learned some practical skills related to swordsmanship with him, and even half-baked may not be considered a half-baked one.

William had received some swordsmanship seriously, but unfortunately the original owner did not study seriously, but he laid a certain foundation so that he did not have to start learning again when he learned swords.

If Koshiro is a swordsman, they cannot hide these things. If Koshiro is a mediocre person, there is no need to hide them. Therefore, William told the truth. Koshiro does not seem to be a person who cares about the opinions of the world. Asking these things is just a consideration of where William and others start to learn them.

Koshiro talked with the four teenagers for a while and learned about their recent situation. After knowing that they came from another place, he kindly asked them if they wanted to live in the dojo first, but William refused.

The four of them were expected to study and practice here for a long time. William knew that Koshiro was not as simple as they looked on. Living in the temple was like living under Koshiro's noses. It was very inconvenient.

Koshiro proposed it for a moment and then gave up.

William and the other four then paid the tuition fee and received training suits under the leadership of the beard. Along the way, they were told about the daily training arrangements of the dojo and some precautions. Then they said goodbye and left when they saw it was getting late. They still needed to find a place to stay.

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

Wallon thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the exact adjective. Alamis helped to follow up: "It seems like he was teaching people!"

Wallon clapped his hands in agreement, but found that both William, Akin, and Alamis, who had just answered the conversation, looked disagreeable.

Alamis said: "Didn't you notice the calluses on his hands? You can't just read the books."

Wallon stopped talking, and the four of them discussed their place of residence again. Alamis felt that their training in the dojo might be very hard, so the residence was very important and must be comfortable. However, Ajin believed that good steel should be spent on the blade, and no one knew how much Denton's treasure was, so there was no need to greed for enjoyment and wasting the funds in his hands.

Wallon had never had any opinion, but in the end William made a decision and made a compromise.

William himself was a person who had struggled in society, and Alamis was also the son of a businessman. The two easily found a role similar to a real estate agent in the village. After discussing the next day, they found a pub that looked less messy and temporarily stayed in.

The next day, William and the other two did not rush to go to the dojo. Yesterday, William had already told the bearded man that he wanted to find a place to live. The four of them wandered around with the agent all morning, and finally caught a glimpse of the outside of a village, which was a little remote courtyard. This yard is not expensive because it is far from the bustling dock area, 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 tedious things, and he doesn't bargain much and buys it.

After the process of handling a lot of procedures and the courtyard officially belonged to the four people, it was already afternoon.

Alamis was looking for excuses to instigate the busy day today, but he simply was lazy and stopped training at the dojo. William glared at him and then turned off.

When a few people came to the temple, they found a red-haired boy of similar age who was stretching his neck, looking at the road facing the front door like a man looking at the stone.

William originally thought the other party was waiting for others, but he didn't expect that when they got closer, the red-haired boy did not move, but his head followed the four of them for a while, which was very funny.

The red-haired boy widened his eyes and kept silent. When William and the other two were about to pass him into the door, they deliberately cleared their throats loudly.

William thought about a lot of things after a change of mind. He turned around with a funny look on his face and stretched out his right hand: "My name is William. I guess it was Mr. Koshiro who asked you to wait for us here?"

The red-haired boy grinned and stepped forward to hold William's right hand: "Edmund, you guessed it well. The teacher asked me to help you learn some basic swordsmanship in the next period of time... Are you from other places? By the way, are you pirates?"
