I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan ()"

Ogata opened the door of the room that Tomachi and Rin had borrowed.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong hot feeling rushed towards him.

After opening the door, the first thing that caught Ogata's eyes was a simple stove made of stone and iron blocks.

A raging flame was burning in the stove, and Ah-Ming was standing next to the stove, adding firewood to the stove, as if he was heating up the stove.

For the past 10 days, Ah-Ming has also been busy.

After borrowing this room from Linna, A-Machi spent most of the day nestling in this room, making bullets for Su Ying and Kasumi Nagi, as well as making her new weapons.

"Huh? Ayi, why are you here?"

Seeing Ogata coming, Amachi hurriedly stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Ogata, and asked Ogata.

"Miss Kinoshita is here." Ogata said as he walked slowly to Ah-machi's side.

Picking up the handkerchief that was placed aside, and helping A-Ming wipe the sweat off her face, he said to A-Ming:

"She asked us to go to the Buddhist hall immediately."

"Since Ms. Kinoshita is back, it means...she should have prepared the boat to Edo?" A-cho asked.

"Well. It should be. In short-let's go to the Buddhist hall quickly."

"Okay. Ayi, come and help me put out this stove."

...

...

After working together with A-Machi to extinguish the stove, Ogata and A-Machi hurried towards the Buddhist hall located in the center of the temple.

As soon as he arrived at the Buddhist hall, Xu Jian saw that everyone in the gourd house except Shimada had already arrived, so he and A Ding were the only ones left.

Lin, who hadn't seen her on the 10th, just sat at the front of the crowd.

Lin at this time can be described as a dusty person, both her face and her clothes are covered with dust, and her face is also slightly tired.

Not long after Ogata and A-machi arrived, Shimada, who arrived late, finally entered the Buddhist hall.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin cleared her throat, without making any greetings, and went straight to the point:

"I have already prepared the ship for Edo."

"We're leaving in the afternoon."

"Leaving in the afternoon?" Shimada was the first to exclaim.

"That's right." Lin nodded, "Soldiers are expensive."

Speaking of this, Linton paused.

After carefully scanning Shimada up and down, Lin frowned slightly:

"Shimada, why do you have so many bruises on your body?"

"I've been practicing swordsmanship with Ogata-sama these days!" Shimada replied immediately.

"Is that so..." After learning that these bruises on Shimada's body were all caused by practicing swords, Lin's slightly frowning brows relaxed, and then she went on to talk about the business:

"It's still an hour before noon."

"That should be enough time to pack your bags."

"Remember not to bring too much luggage with you."

"That's all I have to say."

"Everyone go pack your bags."

After finishing speaking, Lin took the lead to pick up the saber that was placed aside, got up and walked out of the Buddhist hall.

...

...

Ogata and A-Machi were not in a hurry to pack their luggage.

After all, neither of them had much luggage.

It would be better to say - the two of them are almost as if they have no luggage, they only need two or three strokes to pack their respective luggage.

The two of them were not in a hurry to pack their luggage, but first went to the weapon-making room that Machi had borrowed from Rinna, planning to clean up the room first.

Ogata and A-Machi did not forget that they borrowed this room.

Ogata and A-Machi couldn't behave like leaving a borrowed room messy and not tidying it up.

When Ogata and A-Machi were walking back to the "weapon room" together, A-Machi suddenly reached into his arms, took out a small cloth bag from it, and handed the small cloth bag to Ogata.

"This is?" Ogata took the small cloth bag from A-Machi,

Asked like this.

"Su Ying and Kasumi's special projectiles." A-cho said, "Su Ying and Kasumi's special projectiles are very troublesome to make, and because there are no tools at hand, the time is too short, so the projectiles are not easy to make." Not much. You should save some of it.”

"Can I open it and have a look?"

"Ok."

After getting A-Machi's permission, Ogata opened the small cloth bag and looked inside.

What is contained in it is indeed the kind of cylindrical projectile specially used by Su Ying and Kasumi Nagi.

A rough count, a total of 16.

After putting away the cloth bag, Ogata couldn't help but said to A-cho in a half-joking tone:

"By the way... I feel like I already have Kasumi as my own..."

After Ogata lent Kasumi Nagi to Ogata, Ogata never returned Kasuma Nagi to Ogata.

It's not that Ogata refused to return it. As early as when he was recuperating at Fuma's home, Ogata had mentioned the matter of "returning Kasumi" to A-Ming.

But A-cho said: It’s okay, Kasumi, you just keep holding it, anyway, a handful of Suzakura is enough for me.

A-Machi smiled at Ogata's joke:

"Take good care of Kasumi for me. If I find out that you didn't take good care of it..."

A-Machi didn't finish the sentence completely, allowing Ogata to freely imagine what the second half of the sentence would be like.

"It's so stressful... I'd better give Kasumi back to you." Ogata's tone was full of jokes.

"Hold it for me!" And A-Ming's sulky tone was also full of jokes.

...

...

Opening the door, looking at the extinguished stove in the room made of stone and iron, Ogata turned his head and asked A-cho:

"By the way, didn't you say that you have to make new weapons in addition to the special bullets for Su Ying and Kasumi these days? Have you finished your new weapons?"

"Oh, new weapon. It's done."

After all, A-Machi walked slowly towards the stove, and then took out 2 knives and a cloth bag wrapped in something from a small wooden box next to the stove.

Those 2 knives, a wakizashi, and a sword.

These two knives were bought by Ogata and A-machi from a pawn shop in a certain town when Ogata and A-machi hitched a ride to Owari with Lin and others.

It is Japan at the end of the 18th century.

In the pawnshops of this era when the samurai class is decaying, the most indispensable thing is the knives sold by the down-and-out samurai.

The reason why Ogata wanted to buy a knife for A-cho was purely so that A-cho could have better self-defense weapons.

At that time, Ogata couldn't stand the lack of and crude equipment on A-Machi's body.

There is only 1 Suzakura in his body, and 7 Kunai who walked along Narutaro (the guy who led 3 ninjas to hunt down Acho, but was defeated by Acho with Suzakura).

In the pawnshop, Ogata picked out the best quality Wakizashi and Kaijian each, and presented them to A-Ming.

Ogata originally wanted to buy another sword for A-cho, but Ah-cho said that she was not good at using a sword, so he had to give up.

Looking at the two knives he gave to A-cho and the small cloth bag in A-cho's hands, Ogata couldn't help asking:

"Is this the new weapon you made?"

"This cloth bag contains my new weapon. And these two knives have been modified by me."

A-cho unsheathed the wakizashi and the sword.

After the blades were unsheathed, Ogata discovered that the blades of the two knives were painted black.

"I painted the blades black, which is more convenient for me to move at night." As Machi said, he turned the two knives upside down, "I mainly modified the handles."

"I wrapped a black cloth strip on the handle of the knife. This black cloth strip can not only be used to stop bleeding when injured, but also can be used to recover Wakizashi when using Wakizashi to go to a certain place."

Hearing this, Ogata nodded.

He still remembered that when he was in Butterfly Island, A-Ming demonstrated one of the uses of the cloth strip wrapped around the handle of the knife.

Insert the wakizashi into the tall wooden wall, use the wakizashi inserted into the wall as a pedal to climb up the wall, and then use the cloth strip wrapped around the knife handle to recover the wakizashi.

After introducing the cloth strips wrapped around the handles, A-Machi raised his hand and pressed the bottom of the handles of the two knives, and then pulled upwards to remove the bottom of the handles.

"I transformed the bottom of the handles of these two handles into a shape that can be opened. Then I made the handles hollow and filled them with medicinal powder."

Ogata looked in along the bottom that was pulled out by A-Machi, and found that the inside of the handle was really hollowed out by A-Machi, and then it was filled with medicinal powder with a strong medicinal smell.

"The Wakizashi contains hemostatic medicine. The Huaijian contains medicine for bruises."

These medicines were also bought by Ogata and A-Machi when they took Lin's ride to Owari.

"This kind of hollow knife handle can also be used for diving. When you need to dive into the water, you can pull out the knife handle and use it as a pipe, and bite one end in your mouth to let the other end out of the water, so that you can swim in the water." Breathe in."

After introducing to Ogata the two Wakizashi and Kaijians that she had transformed into "multifunctional weapons", Acho began to introduce the things contained in the small cloth bag

Inside the cloth bag are black, iron diamond-shaped objects.

"This thing is called 'Sa Ling'. It is one of the most commonly used weapons by our ninjas."

"When fleeing for your life, sprinkle this thing on the road, which can effectively stop the enemy's pursuit."

"If you step on this thing, your feet will be injured and you will not be able to walk, and your feet will be scrapped if you are serious."

"When we were in Kyoto, if we had this Sa Ling, we would have been able to avoid the pursuit of those officials in Kyoto a lot easier."

"If you have poison on your body, you can put the poison on it, so that it will be more lethal."

After quietly listening to A-Machi's introduction, Ogata couldn't help but said in a helpless tone:

"I thought the new weapon you mentioned was a long iron cannon like the one used on Butterfly Island."

"That kind of long iron cannon is very difficult to make." A-Ming smiled wryly, "I lack special tools here, so I can't make that kind of long iron cannon."

Speaking of this, Ah-Machi paused as if he remembered something.

Then he muttered softly:

"I actually have two of those long iron cannons you mentioned just now."

"I left one of them at home in Shiranui."

"The other one was taken to Butterfly Island by me, and then it was destroyed by that demon monk."

"I don't know what happened to the long iron cannon I left at home..."

"After I defected to Shiranui, my long iron cannon must have been confiscated along with other things in my house..."

"What a pity..."

After saying that, A-Machi let out a long sigh.

...

...

After tidying up the room together with A-Machi, Ogata returned to his own room and began to pack his luggage.

Ogata's carry-on luggage is very small, and his luggage mainly consists of three things: his two sabers, his few clothes, and his money bag.

These 3 things, plus the self-made kettle and other things, this is all the luggage of Ogata.

After quickly finishing his luggage and stacking his bedding neatly, Ogata, who didn't know what to do, simply sat on the cabinet he used as a bed, opened his personal system interface, View your current personal status.

Looking at the personal interface that looks much better than 10 days ago, a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on Ogata's face.

In terms of results, Ogata's 10 days can be described as a remarkable achievement.

If there are so many achievements, which one Ogata is most satisfied with, it is undoubtedly "successfully promoted the breath of source to the 'grandmaster level'".

To upgrade a certain skill from "master level" to "grandmaster level", the required skill points are a terrifying 8 points.

Fortunately——Ogata 10 days ago, the level of Wuwo Dual Swordsmanship has reached the 9th tier, and there are only a little more than 2,000 experience points left from the 10th tier.

After reaching the 10th stage of Wuwo Two Swords, Ogata can get 6 exclusive skill points of Wuwo Two Swords in addition to the routine 2 skill points.

In the sparring with Shimada, after successfully raising the level of Wuwo Dual Swordsmanship to the 10th tier, Ogata immediately used these 6 exclusive skill points and 2 skill points to improve the breath of the source, and successfully used the Breathing has been raised to the highest level - "grandmaster level".

After Ogata clicked on the small question mark behind the breath of source in the personal system interface, the effect of breath of source after reaching the highest level can be displayed:

[Using the breath of the source, you can enter the realm of selflessness]

The breath of source, which has been promoted to the "grandmaster level", introduces its effects in such a short sentence.

But this simple sentence is enough to make Ogata feel excited.

It was the same as Ogata had guessed before.

When upgrading the breath of source to the "master level" before, Ogata was thinking: the breath of source of the "master level" is to maintain the breath of source for about 10 minutes and automatically enter the "state of selflessness", so the highest Is the "grandmaster level" Genzhi's breath the same as Yuanyi's current state-free access to the "selfless state"?

So far, that seems to be the case.

Now as long as you use the "breath of the source", you can automatically enter the state of "no-self state".

Ogata's biggest hole card, which can compete with Shiranui's "Yasha Realm", is completely formed.
