I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata told Chuguang the general process of his obtaining the "power of immortality" in as simple a sentence as possible.

"It turned out to be the 'power of immortality' obtained from the 'Purple Eye'..." Chu Guang murmured in shock, "I don't know much about the 'Purple Eye'...to be able to get it from the 'Purple Eye' Then get the 'power of immortality'..."

"Whether you believe it or not, this is indeed the case." Ogata said softly, "Do you know what number the pill I swallowed belonged to?"

"I'm sorry... this... I really don't know... After all, I am not the developer of Bianruo Pill. I can't judge which number of pills you are taking based on the information you provided."

"That's it..." Ogata's face flashed a little shocked, "Then people like me who get the 'power of immortality' from 'Purple Eyes', and people like Saemon and others who get 'power of immortality' from weird meat slices." What are the similarities and differences compared to those with 'Undead Force'?"

"For example, I have more weaknesses than them."

"I don't know about this..." Chuguang shook his head, "No one in Toyotomi's army obtained the 'Power of Immortality' from 'Purple Eye' like you, so there is no one who can be used as a reference. "

"...If you don't know, forget it." Ogata sighed softly, then stood up slowly while holding the knife at his waist.

And Ogata had just stood up, and Genichi, who had been in charge of leading the interrogation of Hatsumitsu just now, said:

"...You really know a lot about the 'power of immortality'."

"It's kind of weird—it always feels like you know a little too much."

Yuanyi folded his hands, put them on the Yangshen sword at his waist, and looked at Chuguang with neither sad nor happy eyes. .

"The 'power of immortality' must be considered a great secret in the Toyotomi clan."

"You are a mere Iga ninja, but you have such a deep understanding of this kind of secret... Can you tell me: why do you know so much about the 'power of immortality'?"

"...Because I have a high status in Igari."

"High status? Do you have high power in Iga?"

"No... As far as my job is concerned, I'm just an ordinary pawn in Iga. When I say 'high status', I mean another level of status..." At this point, Chu Guang paused.

After a long silence, he continued:

"Jijiu...has always regarded me as his successor."

"He has always wanted to train me to be a pillar that can revitalize Iga in the future."

"So he often takes me by his side and trains me hand in hand."

"So I know a lot of things that people of my level should not know."

"I regard you as his successor." Genichi frowned, "As far as I know... in Iga no Sato, the status of women is very low."

"That's the truth." Chu Guang's lips twitched slightly, "Do you believe it or not..."

"...Then I'll just believe what you just said."

"If you have any questions, please hurry up and ask." Chu Guang, whose mouth hadn't heard from just now, sighed with a little tiredness on his face.

"We still have a lot of questions. But don't worry—after you answer all our questions, we will keep our promise and set you free."

"Then, the next question—tonight, why did the Toyotomi clan attack Osaka? Why did they attack Ogata-kun?"

"...Ha." Chu Guang let out a few self-deprecating laughs, "I'm afraid that if I tell you the reason, you will be shocked."

"...Is it because Nobuhide wanted to overthrow the Edo shogunate and rebuild Toyotomi?" Genichi asked abruptly.

Hearing Yuan Yi's rhetorical question, Chu Guang was shocked.

"...Who the hell are you guys?" Chu Guang, with vigilance in his eyes again, carefully looked Yuan Yi up and down several times, "You guys seem to have something different about Toyotomi...no, Toyotomi Nobuhide. Shallow understanding..."

"What are we,

You don't need to ask any more questions. "The look in Yuan Yi's eyes dimmed slightly.

"...You are right. That lunatic Toyotomi Nobuhide was preparing for the reconstruction of Toyotomi's world as early as several years ago."

"Although there is no direct evidence, I feel that the reason why he got involved in the 'power of immortality' is also to revive Toyotomi."

"I didn't know that Toyotomi Nobuhide planned to destroy Osaka and chase Ogata Itsai tonight until tonight."

"He named tonight's battle 'Osaka Spring Formation and Discussion Operation'."

"Destroyed Osaka like this, what's the benefit for him to revive Toyotomi?" Shimada couldn't help asking.

As soon as Shimada's voice fell, Mamiya said coldly:

"...In order to make the Edo Shogunate lose control of the West Country?"

"You're right. As expected of a person wearing glasses, his head is aura." Chu Guang glanced at Mamiya, "The power of the Edo Shogunate is basically concentrated in the Eastern Kingdom, and the control over the Western Kingdom is controlled by the Edo Shogunate It's never been very strong."

"But the relationship with the Edo shogunate is not very good. The feudal states that are most likely to rebel against the Edo shogunate, such as the Satsuma clan and the Changzhou clan, are basically concentrated in the Western Kingdom."

"Therefore, the importance of Kyoto and Osaka, which are located in the center of Japan and are regarded as the front lines of the Edo Shogunate against the Western Kingdom, is self-evident."

"They are not only important towns used by the Edo shogunate to monitor and deter the Western countries, but also the most important supply bases for the Edo shogunate facing the Western countries."

"Kyoto has been in a slump since the Tianming fire three years ago."

"The important task of monitoring and deterring the West Country is currently on the shoulders of Osaka."

"And right now, if Osaka is turned into ruins. Just imagine what will happen."

"The Edo shogunate's control and deterrence over Xiguo will plummet."

"If the Western Kingdom is in chaos, the Edo shogunate, without the two major supply bases of Kyoto and Osaka, will not even be able to send troops."

"Let the Edo shogunate lose control of the West Country - Toyotomi Nobuhide launched the Osaka Spring Campaign for this purpose, destroying the treasury of Osaka, and paralyzing the administrative capacity of Osaka and it is difficult to recover in a short time .”

"Then, why did you attack Ogata-senpai?" Shimada asked, "How does attacking Ogata-senpai benefit his great cause of 'reviving Toyotomi'?"

"... About this, I don't know." Chuguang's voice sank, "What Toyotomi Nobuhide is thinking has always been difficult to guess."

"He had a strong hostility towards Ogata Yidaosai a long time ago."

"Probably when Ogata Ittosai just killed the lord of the Hirose feudal clan, and his name began to spread throughout the country, Toyotomi Nobuhide announced in public: Once you meet Ogata Itsai, if you can catch me alive, try to capture me alive Right now, those who cannot be captured alive will be killed directly."

"Last summer, he also gave a human skin mask of Ogata Ittosai to a lunatic who planned to burn down the entire Kyoto."

Chuguang's words touched a "switch" somewhere in Mucun's brain, his pupils shrank slightly, and he asked quickly:

"A lunatic who intends to burn down the entire capital?"

"That lunatic seems to be called Kunieda Junroku." Chuguang continued, "In order to effectively attack the Edo shogunate, Toyotomi Nobuhide has been secretly supporting those who have grudges against the Edo shogunate and dare to fight against the Edo shogunate all these years." individual or organization."

"It's like the Kunieda Junroku who wanted to burn down the entire Kyoto I just mentioned."

"If Kunieda Junroku's plan of 'burning down Kyoto and then passing the responsibility to the Six Great Sword Gyms' is to be successful, the most important part of it is to let someone with a certain reputation brutally kill Kyoto The people of the Great Sword Gym, so that they can absorb the hatred of the masters and apprentices of the Six Great Sword Gyms in Kyoto."

"Ogata Yidousai was already well-known throughout the country at that time, and his strength was high. If he pretended to be Ogata Yidaosai to kill people, it would not be easy to make people suspicious."

"So, at that time, Nobuhide Toyotomi, who had mastered the technology of making human skin masks, gave Kunieda Junroku a human skin mask made by Ogata Ittosai."

"Since the Nijo Castle incident in Kyoto, Toyotomi Nobuhide's hatred for Ogata Ittosai seems to have become deeper."

"He sent a large number of Iga ninjas to various parts of the country to find Ogata Ittosai."

"It is said that Nobuhide Toyotomi only planned to destroy Osaka tonight."

"But after learning that Ogata Isai is currently in Osaka, I urgently added an additional task to eliminate Ogata Isai tonight."

"What's wrong with that Toyotomi Nobuhide?" At this time, A-Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and said in an unbelievable tone, "Ayi, he has never seen him from the beginning to the end, that Toyotomi Nobuhide Why do you keep targeting Ayi like this, just like chasing and killing your father and enemy?"

"Who knows..." Chu Guang shrugged slightly.

"...Attacking Osaka... This is tantamount to a direct showdown with the Edo Shogunate..." Genichi's hands have been clenched since he didn't know when he was just now, "...Do you know what Nobuhide's next move will be? Self-destruction After Osaka, what is he going to do?"

"I don't know." Chuguang immediately said, "All military operations directly related to the 'Fuxing Toyotomi' are strictly kept secret."

"Even I, who is regarded as the heir by Yoshihisa, didn't know that Toyotomi Nobuhide planned to destroy Osaka tonight until after the night fell today."

"What Toyotomi Nobuhide will do next, I have no idea."

"...Then change the question." In Yuan Yi's tone, a complex color mixed with anger, dissatisfaction, nervousness and... shame appeared at this moment, "Nobuhide... is he in Osaka tonight?"

"Forget it, let me change the question - do you know where Xinxiu is now?"

"...Are you going to hunt down Toyotomi Nobuhide?" Chuguang looked at Yuan without any hesitation.

"These questions have nothing to do with you." Yuan Yi replied unceremoniously.

"If you want to hunt down Toyotomi Nobuhide... I'm afraid it will be quite difficult..." A wry smile slowly surfaced on Chuguang's face, "Toyotomi Nobuhide...he is very likely to be still here Mount Koya."

Yuan Yi: "Mt. Koya?"

Koyasan—this word has been frequently heard by Ogata and others, Huluya and others recently.

Hearing the word "Koyasan" again made the expressions on the faces of everyone present change slightly.

"Surprised, aren't you? The lunatic who tried to overthrow the Edo shogunate has a stronghold in the sacred Mount Koya." Hatsuko, who didn't know that Ogata and the others knew that there was a problem with Mount Koya, let out a few self-deprecating laughs again, "Toyo A long time ago, Chen Xinxiu worked hand in hand with Master Xianyuan of Xianyuan Temple in Koyasan."

"With the help of Master Sengen, Toyotomi Nobuhide established a stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan on Mount Koya with Sengenji Temple as the center."

"A few days ago, I heard that Nobuhide Toyotomi came to Koyasan."

"It is very likely that he is still in Koyasan now."

"Koyasan..." Mamiya raised his head and let out a long sigh.

The expressions of the rest of the people showed a more or less heavy look - except for Ogata and Yuanyi.

"...Are you familiar with Toyotomi Nobuhide's stronghold in Mount Koya?" Genichi asked silently.

"I'm not very familiar with it. I haven't been to Koyasan's stronghold. I only know that Toyotomi Nobuhide's stronghold in Koyasan is centered on Sengenji Temple. It is Toyotomi Nobuhide's most important stronghold in Japan."

"... Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Yi waved to Mamiya next to him.

The sharp-eyed Mamiya saw what Yuan Yi was going to do at a glance, he took out a bamboo tube filled with clear water from his pocket, and threw it to Yuan Yi.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Mimi Reading! It’s really easy to use. I use this to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here 】

"Come on, let's have a drink." Yuanyi handed the opened barrel to Chuguang's mouth.

Chu Guang, whose lips were a little peeled, took the bamboo tube without any hesitation, and gulped down the water in the tube.

at this time--

"Well……"

A low moan suddenly came from the corner of the Buddhist hall.

Everyone followed the reputation.

Ogata: "Finally woke up..."

...

...

——Where am I...?

Saemon, who was slowly regaining consciousness, blinked his eyes vigorously twice.

When Saemon opened his eyes with his head drooping on his chest, the first thing that appeared in his eyes was the iron chain.

Thick and long iron chains tightly tied his whole body to a wooden post about his height. It can lie on its back on the ground with the wooden pillar.

Just as he was about to turn his head and look around him, he suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from in front of him.

Mamiya and Mucun walked towards him quickly, pulling up the left and right gates like dogs, and dragged them towards the side room on the side of the Buddhist hall.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?!" Yoshiemon hurriedly yelled at Mamiya and Mucun, and struggled vigorously, trying to open the iron chain that entangled him with the wooden post.

The iron chain on his body was specially found by Ogata and the others for Zaemon.

They knew that ordinary hemp rope should not be able to trap the left and right gates.

So they found iron chains very "intimately", used them to serve the left and right gates, and specially wrapped them around a few more times.

Ogata and the others' "intimacy" turned into Saeemon's despair.

But even for him who has been strengthened by the "power of immortality", it is still difficult for him to break free from such a thick iron chain.

After Mamiya and Mucun dragged the left and right guards with pillars into the side room, Mucun immediately covered the face with a white cloth.

...

...

"Uh...uuh! Puff! Cough cough! Cough..."

The sound of Yoshiemon being waterboarded came from the side room.

After Yuan glanced at the side room, he announced to everyone:

"Okay...Let's leave the interrogation to Jiangong and Mucun first."

"Asai, come and tie up Chuguang and Shibata again, and then take them to rest."

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Shibata, who hadn't spoken much just now, said urgently, "Didn't you promise us that you would let us go free after we answered all your questions?"

"Yes. That's what I promised you." Yuan Yi replied, "That's why I didn't release you immediately - because we still have questions to ask."

"After interrogating the big man, we may have new questions for you."

"This..." Shibata opened his mouth, wanting to argue with Genichi.

But just as he opened his mouth again, Chuguang raised his hand and pressed his shoulder.

Although Chuguang didn't say a word, her small movements seemed to have some magical power, which made Shibata calm down immediately.

The two obediently were tied up again by Qianjing, and then sent to another side room by Qianjing.

After Asai came back, Asai bluntly said to Yuan:

"Master Yuan, our future goal is now clear. It just so happens that Koyasan is not far from Osaka. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach Koyasan in half a day."

"Hey, hey..." Feng Mo interjected at this time, "Don't tell me... you plan to attack Koyasan next..."

"It is now certain that Toyotomi Nobuhide has indeed set up an important stronghold on Koyasan." Asai Yoshimasa said, "Right now, the lord can't be found anywhere in Osaka."

"My lord, she might be trapped in Mount Koya now."

"Even if it's just to confirm whether the lord is in Koyasan, I think Koyasan must be visited."

"...I, an outsider, won't talk too much about your gourd house's private affairs." Feng Mo said indifferently, "But let me remind you one thing—if you go to Koyasan, you must be cautious."

"Should I not need me to give you a lot of science about the history of Koyasan?"

"Mt. Koya is a Buddhist holy place with a thousand-year history."

"It is the taboo of countless Buddhists."

"In Japan, there are countless people who believe in Buddhism or have a good impression of Buddhism."

"One is not good... I can't help but Xiaolin didn't find it, and the power of the Toyotomi Clan was not hit. Instead, I got the eternal infamy of 'Buddha's enemy'... I became the next Oda Nobunaga."

"Becoming an 'enemy of the Buddha' is more terrifying than becoming an 'enemy of the dynasty'."

"Two hundred years ago, Oda Nobunaga set fire to Mount Hiei, another Buddhist holy place as famous as Koyasan, and people poked his spine and cursed until now."

The famous quote written by the author at the end of the chapter yesterday seems to be loved by many people. The author will continue to work hard in the future and try to write more. Ever since I graduated from university, I have become more and more obsessed with Daxiong for some reason. Maybe it's because I haven't seen a woman other than my family for a long time... QAQ
