I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Although I said yesterday that I will explode 8000 today, but today there is an unexpected situation. The Spring Festival is full of things... At noon today, I was suddenly notified that I would go to a relative's house to celebrate the New Year. I went to the relative's house in the afternoon and did not return home until just now. I don’t have enough time to write today, so today I will write 6500 words, and tomorrow I will explode to 8000 words… QAQ

Jijiu didn't like ironing women very much.

This is mainly because of the crazy and extremely irritable character of Mrs. Lao, which makes people really want to stay away from her.

Of the entire Toyotomi army, only Toyotomi Nobuhide can get close to the woman, and only Toyotomi Nobuhide can control this mad dog.

And Jijiu doesn't like Lao Furen, and there is another...a special reason.

What the burning woman uses is the two-sword style.

What Jijiu hates the most is the two-sword style.

On that day more than forty years ago.

The day Iga no Sato was destroyed. .

A young man with two swords in his hand made Jijiu engrave deep in his soul an ocean-like disgust and...fear of the word "Dual Sword Style".

Even though he hadn't seen that young man since that day more than forty years ago, Ji Jiu still remembered the saber he used.

I remember the look in that person's eyes...

Ji Jiu never imagined that in his lifetime, he could still meet that person's eyes.

The overly strong sense of shock caused Ji Jiu's consciousness to fall into a brief absence.

But in an instant, Ji Jiu's consciousness was brought back to reality by two shouts——

"Stop them! Stop them!"

"Go! Don't back down!"

The 3 ninjas rushed towards them from behind Genichi and Mamiya.

Yoshihisa, whose consciousness returned to reality, changed his expression, and then hurriedly took out two gun barrels and a gun head from his arms, and yelled at the three subordinates who bravely rushed towards Genichi and Mamiya. :

"Get back!"

Ji Jiu has already issued a warning to his subordinates as fast as he can.

It's a pity...it's still too late.

The 3 sword glows light up at the same time.

2 sword glows are emitted by Yuanyi, and 1 sword glow is emitted by Jian Gong.

The three ninjas who were aggressive just now turned into dead bodies on the ground when the sword light fell.

"Tsk...!" Ji Jiu, whose face turned blue and white, assembled his short gun in the blink of an eye.

The short gun used by Ji Jiu is a special short gun that can be disassembled into three parts and carried in his arms.

"Lao woman..." Ji Jiu said in a deep voice, "The troublesome person is here, you..."

Boom!

Out of the corner of Jijiu's eye, he caught a glimpse of an extremely long afterimage, grazing towards Jiangong like a meteor.

Gamiya narrowed his eyes, holding Vairocana in front of him——

clang!

The two knives in the woman's hands collided heavily with Vairocana of Jiangong in mid-air.

"Haha!" Mrs. Lao showed a happy smile, "Finally, something interesting happened tonight!"

Unlike the powerful force that a woman can send out, it spread along the blade of Vairocana to Gamiya's arms, making Gamiya's expression change slightly.

Just when Gamiya was about to use his strength to parry the burning woman's knife——

"Huh?" Jiangong frowned suddenly, "Your knife..."

...

...

"Tsk..." Ji Jiu gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Lao Furen, you really are... a disobedient mad dog...!"

Although he said so on his lips, after cursing in such a low voice, he also rushed towards Yuan Yi, holding the short gun tightly in his hand like the woman who was branded just now.

He originally wanted Mrs. Lao to concentrate on killing Yuan Yi with him first, because he knew better than anyone here—if this old man with two knives was not killed as soon as possible, what terrible things would happen .

Seeing Jijiu rushing towards him, Yuan Yi stood still in place, spread his feet leisurely, and took a stance.

laugh!

The tip of the gun penetrated the air and pierced Genichi's chest.

Genichi didn't hard-block Yoshihisa's attack.

Using his left foot as an axis, he turned his body counterclockwise, avoiding Jijiu's attack, and at the same time, he slashed at Jijiu with the centrifugal force brought by his turn.

This is the skill that Genichi once taught Ogata - dodge.

The switching speed of offense and defense is dazzling.

With his feet planted on the ground, Ji Jiu retracted the pierced short spear, and swept the steel gun shaft towards the knife that Genichi slashed.

clang!

The spear stopped Yangshen's chopping.

"Kinoshita Genichi..." Yoshihisa's facial features twisted in a strange way, "How did you find this place...!"

...

...

Back in time not long ago——

Osaka, the hiding place of A-machi, Huluya and others——

"Mmm...! Mmmmm...!"

The water flowed continuously on Ah Qing's face which was covered with a white cloth, causing Ah Qing to moan in pain.

Seeing that if the water continued like this, the ninja would lose her breath, so Asai quickly stopped pouring water, lifted the white cloth covering Ah Qing's face, then grabbed Ah Qing's skirt, and shook Ah Qing vigorously. , shouting:

"Quickly tell me! Who are you guys! You must have something similar to your lair here in Osaka, right? Tell me!"

Because of impatience and anger, Asai's originally handsome face was now extraordinarily ferocious.

Ah Qing coughed for a long time until all the saliva and snot bubbles came out, and she finally regained her strength.

After recovering, the first thing she did was to cast a mocking and disdainful look at Asai.

"Just... this level...? This level is not enough to make me speak..."

The ridicule and disdain on Ah Qing's face became more intense.

"Why don't you change the method of torture?"

"Such as cutting me every two breaths?"

"...As expected of a ninja." Mamiya on the side said lightly, "I have to admire this firm will."

"Hey, Mamiya." Asai cast an extremely displeased look at Mamiya, "Why are you still praising the enemy? Mamiya, why don't we change the method of torture?"

"Waterboarding is the most painful torture method we can use now." Mamiya said, "If waterboarding can't make this person submit, then it's useless to use other methods."

"Then what shall we do now?"

"Asai, please be safe and don't be impatient. My lord was taken away, and my anxiety level is no worse than yours."

Mamiya took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, then took out a clean cloth and wiped the lenses.

"Let's continue to interrogate this ninja step by step now. Then

Wait and see what happened to Mucun and the others. "

Mucun and the others over there——

"Um... poof cough cough!"

Mucun raised his hand to signal Shimada to stop pouring water, and then lifted the white cloth from Jiezheng's face.

Before Mucun could ask anything, Jiezheng coughed and glared at Mucun and Shimada viciously.

Just by looking at his eyes, both Mucun and Shimada knew - this man still refused to say anything.

"No way, Senior Mucun." Shimada shook his head at Mucun with a bitter face, "Is there a more powerful method of torture than waterboarding?"

"Tsk..." Mu Cun gritted his teeth, "What a tough bone..."

Jiezheng, who was tortured by Mucun and Shimada, also endured painful waterboarding just like Ah Qing.

But he, like Ah Qing, has kept his mouth shut until now, putting on a posture of "no matter what, I just don't say anything".

After staring at Mucun and Shimada with fierce eyes for a long time, Jie Zheng slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness involuntarily went back to this evening.

Going back to the mobilization ceremony held by Jijiu and others for the commanders of the musketeers in this evening, when tonight's battle was about to start.

Yoshihisa: "Everyone! The day we've been waiting for is finally here!"

The mobilization ceremony was held in the outskirts of Osaka.

The mobilization ceremony was presided over by Ji Jiu, the commander-in-chief of the front line, and the abbot of Longshui Temple named Qingcheng.

Yoshihisa is in charge of giving a motivating speech.

And that Kiyosumi was in charge of going to the commanders of each Musketeer unit after Yoshihisa's speech, and praying for everyone.

At the same time, everyone was given a stick-shaped magic weapon that was said to be consecrated by Qingcheng himself and could bring everyone good luck.

It is said that the link of chanting sutras and praying to each commander and presenting ritual instruments was added at Kiyosumi's own request. He said that he wanted to do everything he could for the soldiers.

Jiezheng has a deep memory of this Qingcheng, because after Qingcheng reads sutras and prays to everyone, he will hug that person vigorously, and then say "I wish you prosperity in martial arts".

That Qingcheng's body and clothes were scented with a special smell of incense. When Qingcheng hugged Jiezheng, Jiezheng was choked by the strong fragrance of Qingcheng's body and coughed.

During this mobilization ceremony, Jiezheng had a deep impression on Qingcheng, but not so much on Jijiu.

Jiezheng couldn't even remember what Jijiu said in this mobilization ceremony.

He just remembered - he was very excited.

Just because the day he had been waiting for for a long time, the day when Toyotomi Nobuhide was going to take action against the Edo shogunate, and the day when the Toyotomi clan was going to officially retake the world, finally came.

Jiezheng has no serious past, nor does he have any deep hatred for the Edo shogunate.

The reason why he became a member of Toyotomi's army and served Toyotomi Nobuhide was only for one of the most vulgar and common reasons - he wanted to be the master of others, the lord of a city and a place.

He was originally an ordinary low-level samurai in the Sendai Domain. In this peaceful world, he had little chance of making meritorious service and getting rid of his status as a low-level samurai.

It is difficult to get rid of the status of a low-level warrior, let alone become the lord of a city and a place.

Jiezheng didn't want this.

He didn't want to spend his life mediocrely as a low-level warrior.

So after he came into contact with the Toyotomi Army by chance, he resolutely dragged away from the clan, left his hometown, and joined the Toyotomi Army.

In the Toyotomi Army, he tried his best to improve himself and hone himself.

Everything is for the sake of being able to flourish in the Toyotomi Army in the future.

Everything is to help the Toyotomi clan regain the world, and he also takes advantage of this wind to become the lord of a city and a place through military exploits.

Everything is for this dream of oneself.

His hard work has not been in vain. Now, he is very fortunate to be able to lead a musketeer unit in the battle tonight.

Before the start of tonight's battle, he made up his mind - no matter what, he will get great military exploits in tonight's "Osaka Spring Battle and Suoxu Operation"!

If he betrayed Toyotomi's army, his dream of "becoming the lord of one city and one place" would no longer be possible to realize.

It is this belief that makes Jiezheng persist, until now he is unwilling to spit out any information to Mucun and the others.

"Do it again!" Mucun roughly put the white cloth back on Jiezheng's face, and asked Shimada to pour water on Jiezheng's face.

Genichi, Fuma, Acho, and Azuki are all in the room where Suke is being interrogated.

Looking at Jiezheng who was tortured by waterboarding again and screaming "Uuuuh", Azhu couldn't help but murmured, "This man's willpower is really strong..."

"He must have some beliefs." Feng Mo said, "Because of the support of beliefs, he has been able to survive until now."

"It's troublesome." Feng Mo touched Zhengliang's forehead with a wry smile, "This kind of person with firm beliefs can't be made to let go without spending a lot of effort."

The sooner valuable information can be collected from these people, the sooner they may be able to find and help Ogata who is now missing, so the words of Fuma just now made A-machi, who was originally not very good-looking, His expression became even uglier.

Ah-cho knows some interrogation methods that they have passed down from generation to generation in Shiranui.

But those powerful interrogation methods have extremely high conditions for venues and tools, and it is impossible to use those powerful interrogation methods at the moment.

While A-Ming was frowning, wondering if there was any way to help Mucun and the others get the information, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a weird stick-shaped thing lying quietly in a corner of the room.

"What is this?" Ah-Ming walked over slowly and picked up such things.

"Oh, this was found from this person." Shimada Chaosuke, who was pouring water on Jiezheng's face, pouted his lips, and then explained, "This should be a magic weapon of Buddhism. Because it feels useless , just throw it there."

Ah Ding: "The magic weapon on this man..."

It is only a very common thing to carry one or two Buddhist or Shinto instruments for good luck on your body.

Atachi, who felt that this thing seemed useless, was about to throw this thing back to its original place——

"Ok……?"

Ah Ding frowned suddenly, then passed the stick-shaped magic weapon under the tip of his nose, and sniffed vigorously.

"Miss A-Machi, what's the matter?" Azuki, who noticed A-Machi's abnormal state, asked in doubt.

A-Ming did not respond to A-Zhu immediately.

Because she now puts her whole body and mind in the memories.

——This taste is...

This stick-shaped magic weapon exudes a special fragrance.

After smelling this special fragrance, a strong sense of familiarity came to Ah-Ming's heart.

A-Ming dared to be 100% certain that he had smelled this smell somewhere not long ago.

--Where? Where did you smell it?

A-Ming raised his hand and pressed his smooth forehead, searching and piecing together memory fragments in his mind like a jigsaw puzzle.

Memory fragments were connected one by one.

A complete "puzzle" finally appeared in Ah-Ming's mind.

She finally remembered.

On the day when Ogata went to participate in the "big test match", on the morning when A-Machi and Azuki, who had nothing to do, were wandering around Osaka together, she passed by by chance from a person named Kiyosumi. The old monk smelled this smell...

A-Ming quickly threw the stick-shaped magic weapon in his hand aside, then jumped to Jiezheng's side, lowered his head, and sniffed vigorously on Jiezheng's body.

The smell is very light, but you can still vaguely smell a little bit of that special incense on Jiezheng's body...

The sudden and strange behavior of A-Ming made everyone present look puzzled and puzzled.

Genichi's reaction was the fastest - after a brief expression of doubt, he asked A-cho seriously:

"Miss A-machi, did you find something?"

"For the time being..." Ah-Ming slowly straightened his body, "It's...a new discovery that I don't know if it's useful..."

Moments later—

"On that man's body, did he smell the incense specially used by the abbot of Longshui Temple?" Mamiya frowned slightly.

A Ding, A Zhu, Fuma, and Calabash House are now gathered together in the Buddhist hall of the Buddhist temple where they are currently hiding.

They gathered together, listening to the new discovery that Machi had just made.

"Yeah." A-Ming nodded lightly, "A-Zhu and I met the abbot of Longshui Temple by chance in the street before..."

A-Machi explained to everyone how he came across this incense in the first place.

"...At that time, a passer-by introduced me and Azhu: the incense used by the abbot of Longshui Temple, Qingcheng, is his special incense, which is the only one in the world. Because this smell is very special, so I dare to conclude—— ——I smelled it right. That man's magic weapon and the smell on his body are the scent of incense on that man's body."

"...But that doesn't explain anything." Asai curled his lips, "Maybe that man just went to that Longshui Temple to worship Buddha before, and then bought a magic weapon for blessing from the temple. The magic weapon produced in Longshui Temple, so it is naturally stained with that clear special incense, and after putting this magic weapon in his arms, the fragrance was dyed on the man's body."

"That's right. That's why I just said to Gen-sama: 'This is a new discovery that I don't know if it's useful'..." A-cho smiled helplessly.

"No!" As soon as Ah Ding finished speaking, Mamiya, who was frowning, said in a deep voice, "Miss A Ding, your discovery...is not information that cannot be used by Yongchang."

"Your new discovery is very useful."

"Longshui Temple... If it is Longshui Temple, it will be easy to explain..."

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Jian Gong.

"What do you mean?" Shimada blinked twice, "Senior Mamiya, what do you mean 'if it's Ryusui Temple, then it's easy to explain'?"

"The group of enemies tonight are arresting the lord, attacking Ogata-kun, and wreaking havoc everywhere in Osaka City." Mamiya stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand to press the center of his eyebrows, with a pensive look on his face, "To carry out so many tasks at the same time, it is impossible without a unified command post to coordinate and command."

"And since it is necessary to organize such a complex operation covering almost the entire Osaka, it is naturally impossible for the command post to be built in a place that is too remote and extremely inconvenient for personnel to come and go."

"If I were to unify and command this series of systems tonight, I would definitely set up the command post in a place with the best geographical location in Osaka City."

"It's best to be a place with a higher terrain, overlooking half of Osaka, and a place where people can come and go very conveniently."

"Ryusui Temple is located in Tongmen Town, which is close to the center of Osaka. There are countless streets and alleys, and people, livestock, and carriages can all pass here unimpeded."

"Not only that, but the terrain of Longshui Temple is high enough. In Longshui Temple, you can have a panoramic view of half of Osaka."

"Mamiya." Asai widened his eyes at this moment, "Why are you so familiar with that Longshui Temple? Have you ever been to Longshui Temple before?"

"I haven't been there, but I am very familiar with Osaka. Osaka is like my backyard to me."

"I used to follow my lord to Osaka to discuss business with others, and walked around the streets in Osaka, because my lord and I were not familiar with Osaka, and we often took the wrong road."

"So for the convenience of moving in Osaka, I memorized all the maps of Osaka."

"For a city as big as Osaka, you can memorize its map?" Azhu looked terrified.

"It's not as difficult to memorize as the map of Edo." Mamiya said lightly.

A Zhu opened his mouth wide, looked at Jian Gong with a confused face, and then looked at the other people present.

She saw—Mu Cun and the others all looked calm and familiar with it. After listening to what Jian Gong said just now, they all said "Oh, that's how it is", "It's worthy of being Jian Gong!" " expression.

Are you all right? ! He said just now that he memorized the maps of Osaka and Edo! Why do you all look so unsurprised! Is this kind of thing a very common thing——Azuki asked everyone with his eyes.

At this moment, A-Machi patted A-Zhu on the shoulder.

When Azuki looked up at Acho, Acho looked at Azuki and said: Just get used to it.

What Jian Gong said just now undoubtedly made everyone look serious.

"Based on the above, I can now make this assumption—" Mamiya continued at this time, "the enemy may now be using Ryushui Temple as their general base. And the Abbot Kiyosumi of Ryushui Temple and those enemies It's a gang."

"In this way, it can well explain why that man has that magic weapon with clear incense on his body."

"...But, Mamiya." Asai shook his head lightly, "This is just your assumption. Ryusui Temple is definitely not the only place in Osaka that is suitable for a command post..."

Asai's words haven't finished yet——

"Okay! Then let's go to Longshui Temple and go to Longshui Temple to see the situation!"

Genichi's hearty voice interrupted Asai's words.

"Master Genichi?" Asai turned his head to look at Yuanichi with astonishment.

The rest of the people also turned their attention to Yuan Yi at this time.

"The two people we captured have kept their mouths shut until now, refusing to reveal any information." Yuanyi raised his hand and touched the handle of the saber hanging on his left waist, and said unhurriedly, " It's rare to find a clue now, so don't waste it."

"Instead of continuing to stare here, it's better to explore the existing clues."

"Perhaps that Longshui Temple is really the enemy's main formation."

"what do y'all think?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then they nodded one by one.

...

...

Back in time to the present——

After Ji Jiu called out his name, Yuan tilted his head, showing a puzzled expression:

"Sorry, who are you? Are you one of my enemies?"

Genichi's rhetorical question made Yoshihisa startled for a moment, and then he let out a self-deprecating laugh:

"You don't know me... that's right, after all, I was just an ordinary pawn on the day Iga no Sato was destroyed 41 years ago. As a sword master, how could you remember me?"

When the sound fell, Ji Jiu gritted his teeth and poured powerful power into the short spear in his hand.

Ji Jiu used 60% of his strength in one breath, and wanted to use this to knock Yuan Yi away in one breath.

But who knows——Yuanyi's feet, as well as Yangshen holding his gun, didn't move at all.

Not only did he remain motionless, but he also had room to express his emotions:

"Iga...so that's the case...are you also a living ghost of Iga no Sato..."

"Hey! You two!"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of shouting, which attracted everyone's attention.

The master of this delicate drink struggled to sit up, and then shouted at Yuan Yi and Mamiya:

"Both of them have incomplete immortal bodies!"

"They only have brains and can't regenerate! Cut off their heads! Or give them enough damage! As long as you give them enough damage in a short time, they will die!"
