I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Popular recommendation:

"In the beginning, I never thought of using you as a pillar."

"After all, I don't know your exact location. I don't even know your exact location. How do I arrest someone?"

"But ah, human luck is so wonderful."

"Actually, the launch of the 'Osaka Spring Battle' and the 'Edo War' was originally scheduled for the end of this spring."

"But who knows, just a while ago, something went wrong in Osaka - a batch of weapons and equipment transported to Koyasan via Osaka Port was accidentally discovered by the Edo Shogunate."

"According to reliable information: after the incident happened, Sadanobu Matsudaira of the Edo Shogunate heard the news and came to Osaka to personally inspect the incident."

"Our plans have been completely disrupted by this accident."

"I have some understanding of the style of this man Matsudaira Sadanobu."

"He must immediately send a large team to thoroughly investigate Koyasan."

"It is no longer possible to launch the 'Osaka Spring Battle' and the 'Edo War' until the end of spring as originally planned."

"So, I simply rushed to Koyasan in advance to launch a counterattack against the Edo Shogunate in advance."

"And just after I arrived at Koyasan ahead of schedule, I learned that you happen to be in Osaka right now."

"How can you miss such a rare opportunity to catch you?"

"Therefore, I immediately made a slight modification to the action plan of the 'Osaka Spring Array'..."

"Demand to send out a small team to capture you alive on the night when the 'Osaka Spring Formation' was launched."

"You really are... a lunatic!" Lin, whose cheeks and lips had been pale from just now, said in a trembling voice, "Are you planning to kill all the millions of people in Edo? !"

"If it's possible, I don't want to do it either..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide let out a long sigh, and a look of shock floated in his pupils.

He just said "I don't want to do this either", but then he changed the subject -

"But——if you want to rebuild the 'Toyotomi World', this is the most convenient method with the least sacrifice."

"I didn't decide to throw a human pillar in Kanda Josui just to destroy the ruling center of the Edo shogunate."

"Purple eyes are not unkillable."

"For one thing, their lifespan is very short, up to 4 years, and they will die of organ failure as if their lifespan is exhausted."

"Secondly, if you attack them with weapons coated with the blood of those who have successfully absorbed the 'power of immortality', their injuries will not recover."

"The reason for this, we speculate, is because of 'fighting poison with poison'. The orthodox 'power of immortality' can suppress this mutated 'force of immortality'."

"Xiaolin, think about this scene carefully—"

The corner of Toyotomi Nobuhide's mouth slowly curled into a sneer.

"A group of monsters that can't be killed suddenly appeared in Edo."

"Just when the people were desperate, I—appeared."

"I can kill Zimu, who other people can't kill——what do you think the people will think of me?"

"I'm afraid they will all regard me as the savior, and regard me as a god and Buddha descending to earth."

"It's so easy, it will greatly increase my prestige."

"Maybe there will be a small group of people, after seeing that only I can kill those monsters, will guess that I made these monsters, so I naturally know the way to kill these monsters."

"But, most of the people are stupid."

"What kind of judgment do you expect a person who doesn't even know a few Chinese characters and has never traveled a few times in his life?"

"Besides, even if you take a few steps back—even if only half of the people believe that I am a god and Buddha who came down to save them, it is an unprecedented victory for me."

The sneer on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face became more intense.

"In order to revive Toyotomi, I have read a lot of books,

Did a lot of research. "

"During the half a year of reading all the classics in Koyasan in order to find the evil law that could defeat the Edo shogunate, my fingers were numb from flipping through the books every day."

"After reading so many books and doing so much research, I have come to a truth: people have always blindly followed 'God'."

"If you can make the people regard you as a 'god', then no matter what you do, it will be much more convenient—including rebuilding a new world!"

"So, I decided on the 'two-step process' of 'Osaka Spring Battle' and 'Edo Battle'."

"First use the 'Osaka Spring Array' to show the strength of the Toyotomi Clan to the Edo Shogunate and the vassals, and weaken the connection and control between the Edo Shogunate and the Western Kingdom, so that the Edo Shogunate cannot rely on Osaka, the most important 'logistics' center' to allocate material and human resources across the country."

"Then, use the 'Edo Battle' to attack the ruling center of the Edo shogunate, and show the people as I just said-only I can kill these monsters and stand in front of the people. The images of 'gods and Buddhas coming down to earth' and 'savior'."

"At that time... no matter what I do, whether it is mobilizing the people to overthrow the Edo shogunate or rebuilding the world dominated by the Toyotomi clan, it will be much more convenient."

"After these two battles, it will still be difficult to revive Toyotomi, but this sentence will no longer be just a fantasy!"

"In order to ensure the success of the 'Edo Battle', I prepared a few spare pillars."

"Not long ago, a few people with the surname Yishi were caught."

"Since I've caught them all, I simply thought about using them as backup pillars for the 'Edo Battle', and I can make the best use of them."

"But I didn't think about it - I couldn't bring them out of Koyasan smoothly."

"However, anyway, there are as many spare pillars as you want."

...

...

"It's just...crazy..."

Ogata raised his hands and pressed his temples on both sides.

He clearly felt the blood vessels on his temples beating "chug-chug".

He never imagined that he would meet someone more unreasonable than Gennai Matsudaira one day...

After comparing with Toyotomi Nobuhide...Matsudaira Gennai looks more normal...

Knowing Toyotomi Nobuhide's plan and knowing Toyotomi Nobuhide's madness from Xuanzheng's mouth, no one's face is not ugly.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you."

Xuanzheng's voice reached everyone's ears again.

"If you manage to arrive at the dock before Rihuimaru and Huluwan set sail, then you are likely to face Nobuxiu directly."

"If you meet Xinxiu, be careful."

"Among all the types of Bianruo pills that we have developed so far, No. C pill is far better than No. People who use pill C to suppress the 'power of immortality', the 'power of immortality' they can absorb in the end is far inferior to those who take pill A or pill B."

"This should be easy to understand, right?"

"The essence of Bianruo Pill is to suppress and weaken the 'power of immortality' so that the human body can have a chance to absorb this power that cannot be absorbed at all."

"The more you suppress, the less 'undead power' you can absorb in the end."

"Xinxiu is a man who has always dared to do things that ordinary people dare not do. Some of his bold actions, let me recall them now, and I can't help but be speechless."

"In order to revive Toyotomi, he has always wanted to gain as much power as possible."

"Therefore, when trying to make himself possess the 'power of immortality', he did not choose the relatively safer pill C."

"Instead, I chose Pill A, which has never had any success..."

Just when Xuanzheng's words came to this point, Yuanyi on the side said calmly:

"We already know that Nobuhide possesses the 'power of immortality' that is far stronger than Yoshihisa and others by relying on the first pill, and you don't need to introduce it to us in detail."

"Oh...you already know about this, so it's easy to say. All in all—you should be careful when you meet Nobusu, he who relies on the No. 1 pill to obtain the 'power of immortality'...is not that good Cope with it."

Xuanzheng laughed lowly at this moment.

"The reason why I am responsive to your every request and answer every question is that I hope you can find trouble with Xinxiu as much as possible in the future."

"If you are defeated in an instant due to lack of information after facing Shang Xinxiu... then I will be very troubled."

"Although Xinxiu obtained the powerful 'power of immortality' by relying on the first pill, in the final analysis - what he possesses is still the weakened 'power of immortality'."

"Compared with Ji Jiu and the others, the only difference is that the 'power of immortality' in Xinxiu's body is stronger."

"It's not like the eight hundred nuns recorded in that ancient book, who can't be killed no matter how hard they are."

Xuanzheng raised his finger and pointed to his own head.

"As long as his head is chopped off, or he suffers excessive damage in a short period of time, he will still die."

After finishing speaking, Xuanzheng spread his hands, then leaned back, leaning against the wall of the carriage behind him.

"Okay, if you have anything else you want to ask, feel free to ask."

"As long as it helps you deal with Xinxiu, I'm willing to tell you everything."

As soon as Xuanzheng's words came out, Ah-ding at the side immediately asked eagerly like a cat smelling fishy:

"Let me ask you—with regard to Ayi's situation, have you had any similar precedents before? Ayi's current state, will there be any sequelae in the future?"

As Machi asked, she pulled Ogata who was beside her.

In fact, from just now, Ah-Ming has been hesitant to talk to Xuanzheng, wanting to ask Xuanzheng a question.

At this moment, after finally waiting for the best time to ask a question, A-Ming immediately asked Xuan Zheng the question that she had been holding back in her heart for a long time without hesitation.

"Huh?" Xuanzheng cast a puzzled look at Ogata, "A precedent?"

Ogata naturally knew that Ah-Ming was worried about his health, so he asked Xuanzheng this question.

He also understood Ah-Ming's worries very well. Although he had said "don't worry" to Ah-Ming last night, this kind of worry cannot be eliminated by just saying "don't worry".

If you think about it in another way - it was A-Machi who absorbed the "power of immortality" from Zimu, then Ogata felt that he would be more nervous than A-cho now, and wished to use all his efforts to "power of immortality" People with a little knowledge came over and asked them if there would be any bad symptoms in the future.

Therefore, in order to take care of Ah Ding's mood, Ogata also cooperated very well - after Xuanzheng cast a suspicious look at him, he pulled out the Da Zizi from his waist, and made a cut in the palm of his right hand.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched his right palm towards Xuanzheng's eyes, allowing Xuanzheng to clearly see... how the wound on his right palm "grows" red flesh, and how it recovers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xuanzheng's pupils shrunk to pinholes first, and then his jaw slowly "falled down" as if he had lost his muscles.

This was the first time that Ogata had seen such a drastic expression change on Xuanzheng's face since seeing Xuanzheng.

"This, this..." Xuanzheng stammered, "Why...you have the 'power of immortality'...?"

"I have become like this now... It is thanks to you."

Ogata tried his best to briefly outline the general cause and process of why he became what he is today.

As for Xuanzheng, who listened carefully to Ogata's narration...his reaction can be described in one sentence—startled, then drunk, and finally mad.

"The 'power of immortality' obtained from Zimu...it's amazing, it's amazing!"

Xuanzheng grinned, his pupils and cheeks were full of intoxication and ecstasy.

"This is really an incredible discovery...the second person who successfully survived the No. 1 pill appeared, and at the same time absorbed the 'power of immortality' from Zimu's body...! An incredible discovery!"

"The second person... who successfully passed the No. 1 pill?" Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes!" Xuanzheng, who was on the top of his head, nodded vigorously, "You are the second person after Xinxiu to successfully absorb the 'power of immortality' with the No. 1 pill!"

"At the beginning, when Xuan and I went to Butterfly Island to carry out experiments, we took some of the No. 1 pills with us so that we could conduct research on Bianruo pills in our spare time."

"It's no wonder that on the eve of leaving Butterfly Island, when I checked the inventory of No. 1 Pill, I found that there were a few missing... It turned out that Xuan Zhi secretly took it away..."

"The 'power of immortality' in Zimu's body can also be absorbed... Maybe this can become a new breakthrough in the study of immortality in the future..."

A-cho is not interested in Xuanzheng's "academic research" at all.

What will happen to her only after Yi Xufang's body.

Seeing Xuanzheng chattering excitedly about things he didn't care about at all, A-Ming couldn't help interrupting Xuanzheng's words, and asked the question he had just asked Xuanzheng again:

"Have you ever had a precedent like Ayi before? Or have you done any experiments related to it? After absorbing the 'power of immortality' from Zimu, will there be any sequelae in the future?"

As soon as Ah Ding finished speaking, Xuanzheng shook his head bluntly:

"We have never had a precedent of absorbing the 'power of immortality' from Zimu before."

"Xinxiu's 'power of immortality' comes from Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."

"The 'power of immortality' of Ogata Yidaosai comes from Zimu."

"This is the first time I have seen Ogata Yidaosai's situation."

"I don't know if Ogata Yidao Zhai will have any sequelae in the future."

"Anyway, Nobuhide and the others have never experienced any adverse symptoms since they absorbed the 'Power of Immortality', but I don't know if the situation of Nobuhide and the others can be applied to Ogata Ittosai."

Xuanzheng's words made Ah Ding visibly depressed.

The dejected Ah-Ming formed a stark contrast with the excited Xuanzheng.

Xuanzheng looked at Ogata carefully from head to toe with his eyes shining like he was looking at some precious ingredients and cherishing animals.

Ogata ignored Xuanzheng's passionate gaze, and asked him in a deep voice:

"...Are you sure that the Bianruo pill I took back then was the No. 1 pill?"

"That's right, I'm sure of that." Xuanzheng nodded, "At that time, pills C and D hadn't been successfully developed yet."

"The Yihao pill was born not long ago, and it has not been refined on a large scale, so I can't use it in large quantities for research."

"Therefore, I only took, and could only take Jiahaowan to Butterfly Island."

"...Heh." Ogata let out a low self-deprecating laugh, "Toyotomi Nobuhide and I both used the No. Both of us now have extremely powerful 'power of immortality' in our bodies?"

"In theory—it is."

"but……"

Xuanzheng changed the topic.

"Although you and Xinxiu have eaten the same kind of Bianruowan, but you and Xinxiu's 'power of immortality' is stronger or weaker... Then I really can't say."

"After all, the source of your 'power of immortality' is not the same."

Xuanzheng smiled "hoho".

"Maybe only after the two of you have a fight, can we know who has the stronger 'power of immortality' in his body."

After laughing, Xuanzheng turned his head and looked out the window.

"Next, we will meet a fork in the road!"

After confirming the scenery outside the window, Xuanzheng turned his head and shouted to Asai who was driving:

"After hitting that three-way intersection, go straight along the intersection in the middle."

"The next road is rough and not very easy to walk, so you have to concentrate on driving."

"How far are we from that dock now?" Asai, who now knew how dangerous Lin's situation was and was in a bad mood, asked Xuanzheng in a growling tone.

"Hmm..." Xuanzheng looked out of the window again, "There are still about 5 miles."

[Note · 5 miles in that era ≈ 20 kilometers in modern times]

"Tsk..." Asai squeezed the hand holding the rein of the horse tightly, "Is it still this far...!"

"I think it's better to worry more about the weather than the distance." Xuanzheng poked his head out of the window a little, looked up at the cloudy sky above him, "It's going to rain...if the road is Let the heavy rain become a 'mud road', then it will be troublesome..."

...

...

"Oh, I seem to have stayed here for too long and told you too much." Toyotomi Nobuhide scratched his hair apologetically, "It's been a long time since I've talked to others like this... For a long time, I They are all alone, carrying their burdens forward.”

Toyotomi Nobuhide closed his eyes, raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"The long-lost reunion with my family... Has it aroused my desire to tell..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide re-covered and locked the brocade box containing the head of the 800 nuns, and then put it back in the cabinet next to it.

"I've been with you for a little too long, and it's almost time for me to leave and do something serious."

Toyotomi Nobuhide, who put the head of the eight hundred monks back to its original position, turned around and smiled softly at Lin.

"I will continue to see you when I have time later."

"You can't escape, so remember to be honest."

"I don't want to be violent to my sister just after reuniting with her."

"Ah, by the way—we'll be sailing in a little while."

"It might be wobbly then, you should be prepared in advance."

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi Nobuhide strode towards the door of the room with his hands behind his back.

And just when he was about to open the door and leave this room——

"……Can I ask you a question?"

Lin, who had kept her head down and said nothing since just now, suddenly spoke.

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his eyebrows, and then withdrew his hand that was already on the doorknob.

"go ahead."

"How do you know that I happened to be in Osaka recently?" Lin raised her head suddenly, staring at Nobuhide Toyotomi.

"At the same time—how did you know where I was last night?"

If the gaze could materialize, Na Lin's gaze at this time might have turned into a sharp awl, stabbing Toyotomi Nobuhide's head.

"Well...well..." Toyotomi Nobuhide seemed to have expected Lin to ask him this question, and smiled playfully, "The truth may be a little too cruel to you."

"I'd love to tell you the truth, too."

"But I don't have much time to chat with you slowly now."

"I'll talk to you about this again when I'm free and have a chance."

Toyotomi Nobuhide laughed, pushed open the door, and walked away, ignoring Lin's resentful gaze towards him.

Outside the room, there are 6 musketeers guarding the door.

"Cheer up." After leaving the room that is both his living room and Lin's prison, Toyotomi Nobuhide ordered the six musketeers outside the door in a serious tone, "Pay close attention to the room. movement within."

"If there are any strange noises in the room, go in and check immediately."

"If the person in the room does anything strange...I allow you to use some rough methods to make her settle down."

"is 6

The six musketeers shouted in unison.

After giving such instructions, Toyotomi Nobuhide strode towards the deck with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he boarded the deck of Nikki Maru, the salty and greasy smell of the sea rushed towards Nobuhide Toyotomi.

Rihui Wan and Hulu Wan were docked in a canyon with terrain similar to "a line of sky".

The waves beat against the hull of the second ship with a very rhythmic frequency.

The deck of the second ship is now as lively as the streets in a busy city.

The sailors shuttled back and forth, making final preparations for sailing.

"Lord Toyotomi!"

A loud shout suddenly came from behind Toyotomi Nobuhide.

"Kasubee, what's wrong?" Toyotomi Nobuhide smiled and looked at the person who called him just now.

Kasube - the "Fleet Governor" single-handedly promoted by Toyotomi Nobuhide.

He was originally the son of an ordinary fisherman in Ryukyu.

Under various chances and coincidences, after joining Toyotomi's command, he showed outstanding commanding ability.

Toyotomi Nobuhide, who admired Kasube's talent and character, focused on cultivating him, not only promoted him all the way to the "Fleet Governor" who commanded the two ships Nichiki Maru and Gourd Maru, but also gave him a special title: He Xufeng.

The name comes from Hachisuga Masakatsu, a powerful general under his ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi two hundred years ago.

Hachisuka served Hideyoshi when Hideyoshi was just a nobody, and he can be said to be the oldest official under Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi also gave him a very high standard of preferential treatment for this veteran who had never left him and made great contributions to him when he was still unknown.

After Hideyoshi made his fortune, he established Hachisuka as his chief elder, and let Hachisuka share the glory and wealth with him.

Toyotomi Nobuhide gave such a name to this young "Fleet Governor"-it can be seen that Toyotomi Nobuhide valued this person.

Kasube rushed to Toyotomi Nobuhide in three steps at a time, and then reported loudly:

"Lord Toyotomi! I finally found you, and the preparations for the ship's departure... have been completed!"

"Oh?" Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his brows, with a happy expression on his face, "Have you completed the preparations for the ship's sailing... It took a lot less time than I expected, Kazubee, well done .”

Raising his hand, he patted Kasube's shoulders, and after briefly praising him, Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his head and checked the sky above his head.

"In a little while...there should be a heavy rainstorm. The rain will not affect our sailing, right?"

"No problem!" He Xufeng patted his chest vigorously, "Master Toyotomi, do you still need to doubt my ability to see the weather?"

He Xufeng raised his head and glanced at the sky above his head.

"Don't worry! Dark clouds of this level won't cause trouble for our voyage!"

"That's good." Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded again with a smile, "With your words, I feel relieved."

"In this case... He Xufeng! Help me to send the order to the whole ship!"

After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide waved his big hand vigorously like a conductor directing a concert:

"Announcement to the whole ship - set sail! Set sail!"

...

...

Asai, who was concentrating on driving, suddenly felt a cold on the tip of his nose.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the tip of his nose—it turned out that a drop of water fell on the tip of his nose.

Before Asai could raise his hand to wipe it, he felt another drop of rainwater falling on his nose.

Wow... Wow...! Hurrah!

Drops of rain seemed to break free from the shackles, and fell from the sky impatiently.

First it was light rain, then it turned into moderate rain in an instant, and then it turned into heavy rain and heavy rain.

The raging wind brought water vapor that seemed to suck up the entire sea, and at the same time swept away countless plants, trees, branches and leaves.

Boom! Boom!

After the rain fell, the thunder and lightning finally couldn't wait to show its ferocious minions.

Lightning flashed across the dark sky, and various hideous and grotesque lines were carved in the clouds that seemed to have been splashed with ink.

Ogata leaned his head to the window to check the rain outside.

Looking around, there are thick rain curtains.

Looking up, the sky is dark.

Taking a deep breath, what floods into the lungs is abundant water vapor and chill.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Asai and Shimada, who were exposed to the outside of the car, turned into two drowned chickens in just a split second.

"Hello!" Due to the interference of thunder and rain, Asai had no choice but to yell backwards, "Haven't you reached the dock yet?!"

"Well... it's almost there." Xuanzheng glanced at the scene outside the window, "Follow the current road and go all the way, and you will reach the coast."

"After arriving at the coast, go west and you will be able to enter the canyon where the dock is located."

"You should be able to smell the sea more or less now, right?"

Xuanzheng's words just now undoubtedly cheered Asai and Shimada up.

The two of them gritted their teeth, braved the oncoming rain, and drove the carriage, breaking through layers of rain.

Ogata and the others frequently poked their heads out of the car window, looking for the coast.

Finally, as Asai and Shimada galloped all the way regardless of the life of the wheels and horses, Ogata and the others finally saw—the skyline ahead, a looming coastline appeared.

Finally seeing the sea—this should have brought some joy to the faces of Ogata and the others.

And in fact, it was true. After finally seeing the sea, everyone showed joy.

However - just as the joy appeared on their faces, they froze.

Just because they saw...on the coastline, floating two...the shadows of the boat.

No way—this voice emerged in everyone's heart.

Asai gritted his teeth, and waved the rein in his hand again, squeezing out the last bit of energy the horse had.

The two carriages quickly shortened the distance to the coast.

After driving to the coast, everyone quickly jumped out of the carriage, stood on the shore, and looked at the sea in the distance... two warships that are as huge as hills are slowly driving towards the distance...

"Are you a step late..." Shimada knelt down on the ground as if his legs had lost strength, then raised his right hand, clenched his hands into a fist, and beat the ground unwillingly, "Why is this..."

Desperately rushing to the dock, it turned out to be one step too late - such a result was naturally unacceptable to everyone.

Almost everyone's expressions... are very ugly now - including Xuanzheng.

"Tsk...are you busy in vain..."

Xuanzheng looked at the warship gradually receding on the sea with displeased eyes, and then looked at Ogata and his party in front of him.

The reason why he helped Ogata and the others so much, both as a guide and as a solution, was to hope that Ogata and the others could find trouble for Toyotomi Nobuhide and vent their anger for him.

After working hard for most of the day, in the end, he got nothing - this kind of result also made Xuan Zheng's expression extremely ugly.

Xuanzheng, who thought he was busy for nothing, cursed in a low voice.

Shimada, who is still very inexperienced in life, knelt down on the ground in pain, beating the ground.

Hatsumitsu and Shibata, eager to kill Yoshihisa and destroy Iga, have complicated expressions.

A-Ming and A-Zhu, who tend to be more emotional, are now biting their lower lip with a look of unwillingness.

The unacceptable scene in front of them caused everyone to show various expressions.

But... not everyone has an ugly expression after seeing the second ship sailing.

For example - Ogata, Genichi, Mamiya, Mucun and the others.

After the four of them saw the second ship at sea, their expressions changed extremely synchronously.

They all looked down first, and then... they turned their eyes and looked around, as if they were looking for something.

Scanning the four people around them, their gazes finally settled on the same item - the carriage they were riding in just now.

"... Mamiya." Ogata, who stared at the carriage behind him with meaningful eyes together with Genichi, Mamiya, and Mucun, suddenly called Mamiya's name.

"Ok?"

"I remember... did you tell me that you once learned how to drive a small boat somewhere before?"

Hearing this question suddenly asked by Ogata, Mamiya smiled slightly:

"Oh, yes."

"I used to learn the methods and skills of canoeing in the Satsuma area."

"By the way—I used to study carpentry in the Yamato area."

"Very good at dismantling wooden objects."
