Chapter 519 The Strongest Swordsman Group: [Shinsengumi]! Explosive!(2/3)
"...Just call it 'Yise Zhafu Riluo'."
Tianzhangyuan looked puzzled.
"Ise Zhafu Riluo? What a strange name, it sounds like Sanskrit."
Qingden nodded.
"That's right, it's the transliteration of Sanskrit. 'Yise Zhafu Riluo' is the real name of Yuvajra Bodhisattva, one of the five great vajras."
He explained slowly.
The bow and arrow in Buddhism symbolizes hitting the fundamental ignorance of the troubles of all living beings, thereby enabling all living beings to cut off their troubles, become enlightened, and ultimately achieve Buddhahood.
According to Buddhist scriptures, the Vajra Bodhisattva holds a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, symbolizing the use of arrows to kill the greed in the hearts of living beings.
Ever since he received the revolver from Kiryu's boss and named it "Mandala", Aomori had made up his mind that all the weapons he would acquire in the future would be named after Buddhism.
In this way, you can not only ensure that your weapons have a unified name style, but also have a general naming direction, which is conducive to naming, and it is also convenient to come up with some majestic and powerful names.
There are not many Buddhas in Buddhism who specialize in holding bows and arrows, so Qingden immediately thought of the real name of the Vajra Bodhisattva: "Ise Jaburiluo".
After listening to Qingdeng's explanation, Tianzhangyuan nodded slightly.
"Ise Zhafu Riluo... although it is a bit difficult to pronounce, this name is not bad!"
As she spoke, she raised her chin towards the pavilion not far away, then turned around and walked towards the pavilion.
When Qingdeng saw this, he immediately understood and followed quickly.
The two of them walked one behind the other, maintaining a half-step distance.
Suddenly, Tianzhang Yuan, who was walking in front, said abruptly:
"Sheng Qing, it's time for you to give your Zhenfu army a formal name."
"Formal name?"
At this time, the two of them happened to have arrived at the pavilion.
Tianzhangyuan pressed the hem of Zihakama and sat down with his knees bent.
"The main reason why I called you here today is to discuss this matter with you."
"So far, this new army led by you, from the shogunate officials to the common people, is called the 'Suppressing and Fu Army'."
"However, 'Zhenfujun' is only a temporary name after all. It would be inappropriate to use it as a long-term name."
"Therefore, it was necessary to have a more formal and louder name."
After Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Highness, can't we just name it 'Zhenfujun'? I think 'Zhenfujun' is a pretty good name. It's both mighty and smooth, making people intimidating."
"Of course not."
Tianzhangyuan glanced at Qingdeng.
"The name 'Zhenfujun' is really too informal."
"Used as a pronoun, the usual name is just fine."
"It cannot be used as an official name."
"Besides, we also have to consider the mood of the people in Kyoto."
"If you use a name like 'Zhenfujun' that has a strong war color, it will easily cause uneasiness and resentment among the people of Kyoto."
"Uniforms, flags, and equipment can all be prepared slowly after arriving in Kyoto."
"But it's better to decide on the 'name' as early as possible."
"In this way, it will also be convenient for our historians, recordkeepers and other officials to compile official documents."
"According to the shogunate's practice, your new unit should be named 'what and what group'."
Qingdeng crossed his arms and smiled bitterly:
"'What kind of group'... It feels like using the name 'group' is not as powerful as using the name 'army'."
Tianzhangyuan said calmly:
"This is the shogunate's practice and cannot be changed."
Speaking of this, Tianzhang Yuan paused for a moment, as if he was thinking of words.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that she continued:
"The person responsible for naming the new unit was Iemo, but he considered that you are the commander of the new unit, so he entrusted you with the power and responsibility of naming. Therefore, the naming cannot be careless.
Don’t let down Jia Mao’s kindness.”
Qingden scratched his hair:
"Okay, I get it...then I'll just behave and think of a new name."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked into the distance, thinking.
At this time, Tianzhangyuan added:
"If you have nothing to think about, I can help you think of a name."
"Oh? Your Highness, do you have a good name?"
"How about naming it the 'Jingzhong Group'?"
"'Jingzhong Group'...this name seems a bit too vulgar."
"What about the 'Chicheng Group'?"
"A little too straightforward."
"What about the 'Orange Group'?"
"This name will make people mistakenly think that this army is my personal club, right? It will lead to the suspicion of others and the crazy impeachment of the Hitotsubashi faction."
"'Loyalty Group'?"
"What's the difference between this name and the 'Jingzhong Group'?"
…
…
After the two of them sang and harmonized for a while—
Tianzhangyuan, whose proposed name was rejected by everyone from Qingdeng to Qingteng, lowered his red lips in displeasure.
"Sheng Qing, what kind of name do you want? Do you have a general idea?"
Qingdeng smiled helplessly.
"Honestly - my brain is a mess."
"Of course I hope this unit can have a majestic name."
"But... I'll be blunt: the names you suggested, as well as the names that come to my mind, are either too tacky or too bland."
Qingdeng knew Tianzhangyuan's temperament.
He knew that the young widow would not be offended by his criticism of the style of her name.
For this reason, he dared to speak out boldly.
And the reality was exactly as Qingdeng expected. Tianzhangyuan's pretty face did not reveal any negative emotions as his words fell.
She lowered her head silently, thoughtfully.
"In that case... let me give you an idea - try to put your ambition in your name!"
"ambition?"
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows vigorously.
Tianzhangyuan nodded lightly and continued:
"When elegant people name their studies, poems, and weapons, they often put their own ambitions into them. I think you can try this too."
Qingden nodded thoughtfully.
"Putting your ambitions... This is indeed a good idea."
After that, he looked into the distance again.
This time, his eyes were no longer blank.
As if he had thought of something, a bright light gradually bloomed in his eyes, just like the clear blue sky after the rain.
The pretty widow smiled as she had a panoramic view of the "blue sky":
"It seems... you seem to have an idea."
Qingdeng retracted his gaze from the distance and looked towards Tianzhang Courtyard. Their eyes met, with a strange expression on their faces that was half-smiling but not smiling.
"In this bloody and chaotic world, I was chosen by the times. At the same time, I chose a new 'road'."
