Chuemon and Shigetomi had a great time with the host and guest, and they agreed that the next time Chuemon was the host, they would separate. Chuemon and Shuroku walked back all the way, because they were all Kibmoto samurai with more than 200 shi, so their travels were naturally different.

　　 ran in front of his head two small servants with lanterns. On the lanterns, the characters for Jinmaru and Edogawa were written as Miao characters to clear the way. The so-called horse riding is not a real galloping horse, but is led by the horseman to walk forward, followed by attendants carrying knives, umbrellas, fans, haori, hats, and clogs, no fewer than ten people.

　　 No way, this is a must for Master Qiben to go out. In theory, if you don't do this, it is an illegal act and goes against the "Farmers' Laws".

　　 Two people still have a major event tomorrow, the 13th year of Tianbao has arrived, and the opening ceremony of Edo needs to be held. Last year, such a catastrophe occurred in Edo, and Tokugawa Ieki needs to put on a whitewash. Therefore, this year's opening ceremony must be organized specially. In addition to the inherent dedication to the gods of Inari and praying for the prosperity of this year's agriculture, it is also necessary to prepare for the fire-fighting ceremony of the fires of the towns on the side of Nihonbashi Kawara.

　　 These are ceremonies that have been used for many years, and there is no difficulty. Chuemon and Sukeruku only need to follow the steps. In order to show off their bravery and bravery, the Edo Forty-eight Groups of Town Fires are also willing to show off their abilities in front of the Edo people. They have also prepared for the stepping ceremony for a long time, waiting for the spring performance.

The youngest and sturdy man in Zhuantencho’s fire extinguisher wears Shinhaori, full of blue-patterned haori dyed with the indigo produced by Awa from Shikoku, writes the names of each group, and sings in the order of the song of Iroha with the horse mark. The songs of Edo are arranged on Edo Nihonbashi Kawara, and they are welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people in Edo.

　　 Chuemon’s duty is of course to maintain order on the scene. Such a big event is afraid of stamping or pushing. Fortunately, the generals did not go out of the city to observe the ceremony, because they have the Edo Castle castle tower, so you can climb up and watch directly. The best viewing seats in Edo are in this castle. How can the generals come over and crowded.

It’s not that forty-eight groups of fire fighting are performed. It used to be said to be performed in one group for a year. However, there are forty-eight groups of fire fighting in Edo. If this is done in order, even if people have died twice, they can only play. once. So now it’s an internal competition first, and the most powerful group will appear on the stage.

　　 Probably this posture is the same as in many Japanese future hot-blooded animes, those middle and high school students shouting "My goal is Koshien!"

　　 The Dinghuoxiao who played this year are really a bunch of strong young men, most of whom are in their twenties, and their braids and clothes were sorted and cleaned last night. A square-faced man with large hands and feet, tied his head with a cloth strap, tied his left and right hair, and only a pair of shorts, crawled up the long bamboo ladder held by four people.

　　 The first trick is called "Independent and distant view", which is to stand on a bamboo ladder with only one foot and make an ape looking away from a distance, indicating that you can look far away, and the surroundings are calm and free from disaster.

　　 Just being the first move was enough to make people wonder again and again. Without any safety measures, the Chohuo stood on the smooth bamboo ladder with his bare feet, and his body did not move at all, as if it were a pine. Even in a posture of looking left and right, Chuemon squeezed a sweat for him.

　　 The tambourine under the bamboo ladder became faster and faster, and the Dinghuo Xiao put his hands together and jumped on the bamboo ladder with his feet. Volley turned around and dumped directly. In the thrilling moment, his legs suddenly opened, one left and one right jammed the protruding section on both sides of the bamboo ladder, and the whole person hung upside down on the bamboo ladder like this.

　　 just performed a "upside-down character"!

　　 This is not over yet, the whole person is clearly hanging upside down on the bamboo ladder. The fire is extinguished, and his waist exerts force. Without using his hands, he stands up and sits back to the highest end of the bamboo ladder.

　　 The whole process was just a moment, and after a short breath, the Ding Huo Xiao below had begun to chant together. Water dragons on the left and right drew water from the Sumida River and sprayed water jets into the sky. The two water columns meet and collide together, not only splashing water, but also forming a rainbow.

　　 Under the rainbow, the town fire disappeared with a "boom", and the whole person fell down again. This time it was also thrilling. Before, I could use the power of my legs to hold the bamboo ladder, this time I only used the balance of the body. Dinghuoxiao's hands and feet are all up to the sky, leaving only his back resting on the bamboo ladder, which he calls the "two-legged back turtle."

　　 It’s not over, it’s not over, it’s not over...

　　 Taking advantage of the whole body leaning on the bamboo ladder, the town fire disappeared like a monkey in the mountain, actually "spinning down the ladder" on the bamboo ladder that is seven meters high, maybe even more. Without hands and feet, but with the body through the gap between each section of the bamboo ladder, the flexibility of the body has been developed to the extreme.

　　 Finally, when there were still three or four meters from the ground~lightnovelpub.net~ the whole person suddenly flew out of the bamboo ladder. In later generations, Michael Jackson was on the stage, wouldn't there be a performance of forty-five degrees of body tilting. The performance of this Dinghuoxiao was even more exaggerated. Apart from stepping on the bamboo ladder with his feet, he leaned in the air, covered his eyebrows with his hands, looked forward and performed a "seeing through the bottom of the valley."

　　 then flew out from the bamboo ladder like this, jumped down about three meters high, and landed perfectly on the soft soil in front of him. Landing easily, full posture.

　　 The audience burst into overwhelming cheers, and the sound of applause shook the roof tiles on both sides of Nihonbashi. The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law looked blushing and heartbeat one by one, if there were flowers in her hands, she would have to throw them at the side of the Ding Huo Xiao for a while.

　　 Chungemon also cheered on the sidelines, this kind of performance is really amazing. Even acrobats in later generations may not be able to do this.

　　 As for the current Japanese acrobats, they are called "Tai Kagura", which basically means performing a performance like rolling a plate on a paper umbrella, or holding a root on a stick, and a small furniture such as a coffee table on the stick. The "combat power" is far inferior to the Edo-cho fire fighters. It is a series of performances in the theater, which are not on the stage.

　　The happy Tokugawa Ieki who was watching the Edo Castle toasted with the concubines. The weather started to warm up in the spring. Edo has returned to the state of luxury and greed for everyone. The so-called beautiful scenery of Edo is like a picture.

　　 "General Shi, Nagasaki urgent report, one hundred thousand urgent, please submit it immediately." An attendant knelt down on one knee and reported loudly to Tokugawa Ieaki.

　　 "What's the matter?" Ieki Tokugawa, who was disturbed by Yaxing, was not very angry.

　　 "Ningbo has fallen, Ningbo has fallen!"
