Chapter 1321: When a Person Is About to Die, the Buddha's Light Appears

"The Golden Clan of the Yuan invaders, the secret gold of the Yuan invaders... Re-establish a country in the Shanta land?..."

There was another long silence in the master's room. Takeda Nobuhiro thought about the judgment of his son and the elders, but he could not fully agree. He could only agree with the facts that clearly existed, and would not make rash judgments.

"Buddha! The fact is that this Shanta clan has a powerful leader, elite tribes, excellent weapons, and a huge amount of gold. They appeared from the north, and it is said that they came from the extreme north snowfield. The beliefs of their ancestors are very similar to those of the Yuan invaders' flying eagles. They are in urgent need of craftsmen and farmers, and they are also in short supply of livestock..."

After sorting out this, Takeda Nobuhiro was silent again. Because all the facts point to the most likely explanation, which is that this is a Golden Clan of the Yuan invaders!

Of course, there are many difficult to understand places. For example, why does the Golden Clan of the Yuan invaders lack livestock? Why do they all use bronze weapons? But these can all be explained. For example, the extreme north sea is too cold, and they can't raise livestock. For example, their tribe in the far north has livestock, but not in large numbers. And they may be in the far north snowfield, without a source of iron ore, and the original ironware has rusted...

What's more, apart from the inference of the Yuan invaders, is there any other more likely explanation?

This clan's gold and bronze, firearms and large ships, cultural heritage, craftsman needs, and the most consistent ancestral beliefs... It can't be absurd to say that they have no connection with the tribes in the world, and suddenly emerged from the depths of the sea with a lot of gold, like a mermaid?

At this moment, Takeda Nobuhiro sighed and shook his head helplessly. He still knows too little information, and the Kakizaki clan still knows too little information! The huge information gap made him unable to imagine the existence of another continent across the sea, and there would really be a group of devout tribes who believe in the hummingbird god, and under the guidance of the prophecy, they came from afar with gold!

The information known will always determine the limit of a person's thinking. Just like the monk soldier Watanabe Masumi, who knew the internal situation of the kingdom told by Zuwaro, knew the vastness of the East China Sea continent, and saw the kingdom's gold mountain with his own eyes, and witnessed the kingdom's "witchcraft". Therefore, he would not think that this was a "Yuankou", but would think that this was a "Heavenly Destiny Black Bird", a descendant of a "merchant" thousands of years ago. His imagination and inference are based on cognition. The more he knows, the closer he can get to the "truth"!

At this moment, although Takeda Nobuhiro is a great man of his generation, he was guided to an unexpected direction by the Yamato vest put on by Zuwaro and the second-hand information he heard. In the unknown fog, he can only choose the most likely explanation under the ring-by-ring confirmation!

"The Yuankou's golden clan, the Yuankou's golden secrets! The gold trade with the Yuankou clan..."

Takeda Nobuhiro repeated it in a low voice, and a bright light gradually appeared in his old eyes. If it is such a noble and sensitive origin, then the Kakizaki clan and this Yamata tribe can indeed do business!

Because the Yuan invaders' Golden Clan is unlikely to plot against the desolate and narrow Ezo, but is more likely to restore the country in the vast Yamata land. And even if they really settle in Ezo, as long as their identity as the Yuan invaders' Golden Clan is spread... it will naturally attract the attention of the shogun! The powerful Muromachi shogunate or the Koga Kubo will certainly send out a large army of samurai to drive these dangerous enemies who once invaded from Ezo! …

"The internal strife between the generals and the governors, the rise of local samurai families, the clan disputes between the lower and the upper, and the sudden appearance of the Golden Clan... Buddha! This is really the prelude to the end of the Dharma!"

"The real chaotic world is about to come. Unfortunately! I have reached the end and cannot see the truth of the chaotic world! Perhaps, this is also a lucky thing! Before the chaotic world, I left in the remaining order... cough cough!..."

"Ah? Father? Your body?... I will help you to rest on the bed!..."

The rapid consumption of mental and physical strength made the seriously ill Takeda Nobuhiro a little overwhelmed. With the support of his son Guangguang, he slowly lay back on the bed, and the wrinkles on his face were like knotted bark, which could not be stretched out.

He knew his son Guangguang too well. With Guangguang's ambition, he would definitely not be willing to be lonely at the beginning of such a chaotic world. But can Guangguang's practice and character cope with such unprecedented changes? Especially, when the Shantar gold trade is right in front of us, shining with attractive golden light...

"Ahem! Ahem!... Guang Guang, the gold trade with the Shantars contains risks that are difficult to identify... You should not come in person, it is best to let the reliable old retainers take charge! In this way, even if something unexpected happens, you still have room, you must leave room for yourself!..."

Takeda Nobuhiro lay on the bed, holding Guang Guang's hand tightly. The originally majestic lion seemed to have suddenly lost its strength and shrunk into an old cat. But this did not affect his wisdom and his far-sighted arrangements.

"Kudo!..."

"Master!"

"Send reliable personnel to Kyoto immediately! Ask my close friend, Morino Kiyoshi, to come as soon as possible!... Tell him that I am seriously ill and dying, and I want to see him for the last time and give him some instructions for my final affairs!..."

"Ah? Master!"

"Go! Go quickly!..."

"Yes!"

"Kudo Shigeyasu bowed deeply with tears in his eyes, and then left in a hurry. After his own party left, Takeda Nobuhiro looked at his son, tried to get up and sit up, and gave him instructions in an extremely serious manner.

"Guangguang, the cause sown today will inevitably have the result tomorrow. And the greater the cause and effect, the greater the invisible price. If you are not a truly profound Buddhist, don't reach out rashly and touch something that can destroy you. Your own karma! ... No matter how beneficial and harmless it may seem, and how true it seems to be the fate of Buddha... as long as you don't cultivate enough, you can't bear it at all..."

"So, it's still the same sentence. Don't personally come forward in this Shantao gold trade! Your cultivation level is not as good as my own... I will let the Kudo family take care of the transaction first. After the Kudo family leaves, the Houya family will take over. Take it. When you encounter important matters that are difficult to decide, you must not only discuss it with your elders, but also seek the guidance of your uncle, Morino Kiyoshi!…”

"His Buddhist practice allows him to navigate Kyoto with ease, and he has always been better than me. But at this moment of death, I can finally stop all distracting thoughts, and I will be one step ahead of him!..."

"This! Father?! This is the gold trade I started... but you asked me not to take charge of it myself?..."

Hearing Takeda Nobuhiro's request, Mitsuhiro Uyizaki's eyes widened, somewhat incomprehensible. He felt a little angry, but he saw his father's rare weakness and pleading. Finally, with sadness in his heart, he just asked in a low voice.

"Father, at what point will my cultivation be able to afford this gold trade?..."

"Guangguang, my son. In the Diamond Sutra, Subhuti once asked the Buddha, how to surrender the original mind? The Buddha said, 'If you see all forms without forms, you will see the Tathagata.'... For our martial arts family, it is not an outsider. Being fascinated by things, being able to see the truth of things, grasp the most fundamental points, and then solve the difficulties you encounter, that is what cultivation has become..."

"And you, there is still a long way to go to reach this state! You have too many distracting thoughts and desires that are difficult to cut off, and you cannot grasp the most important reality..."

"Just like this time, from fighting, redeeming people, to trading, you were led by the 'Chief of the Mountain Tatars' throughout the whole process! If the other party doesn't have big plans, he will satisfy your wish with 'Baoguang' and let him go. If I had killed you... if it had been a life-and-death fight between the Wu families, you would have died long ago..."

"And if you can make a decisive decision and don't choose to go north, but directly go south with the tribute team, even if you lose a little bit of the reputation of the Wu family... all the initiative will fall back into the hands of this family!... If the Shantao tribe continues to go south, If we were to face our own family in a place where we have the upper hand... things would develop completely differently!"

Having said this, Takeda Nobuhiro took a breath and touched his son's cheek. He sighed with emotion, like an old man who had grasped his whole life, but could not grasp anything after death, and felt the horror of the unpredictable fate.

"Guangguang! The hidden things behind Shantao's gold trade are so deep that I still can't worry about it! ... What I can't worry about even more is that you really got too many benefits from the gold trade! Here we go. At that time, can your inflated desires be restrained appropriately by your cultivation at that time..."

"Buddha! I don't know what to say!...Buddha said, the past mind cannot be grasped, the present mind cannot be grasped, and the future mind cannot be grasped!...This world is really impermanent! It can cut off everything in the numerous changes of interests and harms. How many people can have false views, maintain discipline, calm their minds, and achieve wisdom and clarity..."

"I just hope that after I go, the Uyizaki family will not climb too high and miss the mark... In the end, it will end up empty, and even Kazuto will not be able to keep..."

"Huh! I can break the Vajra Prajnaparamita... Use the wisdom that can break the Vajra to reach the other shore!..."

In the quiet room, the golden talisman flashed golden light. Takeda Nobuhiro sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. He murmured verses from the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and the bizarre future turned into nothingness in his mind. In the darkness, there was only a golden bird left. It was so subtle that it was difficult to detect, but it flew up from the eastern sun, like a stream of lightning, and disappeared into the ground beneath its feet.

"The birds in summer come from the other side, like dew and like lightning?...How strange! What kind of fate is this?..."

Seeing his father who had meditated, Mitsuhiro Oyizaki sighed deeply, and he truly felt the approach of death. He stood stunned for a moment, then turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then, he paused on his feet, lowered his body, and carefully put away the shining golden charms~~
