I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 196: Saisho-ji-like priest

Ogata picked up the map drawn by Sokai and looked at it seriously.

Although the map drawn by Zong Hai is simple, it has everything that should be there.

Ogata noticed that there was a thin black line on the map drawn by Zonghai, so while pointing at the black line, he asked Zonghai:

"Zong Hai, is this black line the Linong River you just mentioned?"

"Yes." Zong Hai smiled and nodded, "Linong River is the most important river on our Butterfly Island."

"Butterfly Island originally had 5 villages, and the daily water in these 5 villages was taken from the Linon River. Therefore, the Linon River is regarded as the ‘lifeline’ of the island.”

"The researchers of the shogunate probably set up their station on the bank of the Linon River for the convenience of water fetching."

"Zonghai." A Ding asked, "Have you ever been to their legacy station to see it?"

"After the shogunate researchers and soldiers fled the island in a hurry, I went to see it once."

"But I just looked around roughly that time, and didn't check in detail what they left behind."

Ogata and Amachi looked at each other.

"A Yi." Ah Ding asked, "How do you say?"

"What else can I say?" Ogata answered as he put the map that Zonghai drew for them into his arms, "Of course I went there to check it out. They might have left a ship there—it's just the possibility That’s enough for us to go there."

...

...

Ogata and Amachi’s clothes, which were full of weird smells, were immediately washed after they were taken off yesterday. Of course, Amachi was responsible for the washing.

Ogata pushed all his clothes up and down, including the loincloth, to Amachi to wash.

Amachi, who was very dissatisfied with Ogata's push to wash all the clothes on her body, protested loudly, saying that she would push her clothes to wash for whatever reason.

And after Ogata glared at her and said in a deep voice, "Whose problem do you think my clothes became wet?", Amachi, who was speechless, cleverly put everything away. With a rebellious attitude, he picked up Ogata and her clothes, and silently washed their clothes by the well.

After drying for most of the day, their clothes barely dried out.

After changing back to his clothes, Ogata subconsciously smelled his clothes-especially the part of his own Haori's back.

"Don't smell it!" A Ding roared, blushing, "there is no smell anymore! Hurry up!"

...

...

According to Zonghai-Tenman Temple and the residence of the shogunate researchers are three miles away.

Sanli is not a short distance, so the two of them are prepared for a long journey. The bamboo tube used as a kettle is filled with water from the well of Tenman Temple, food, weapons, and so on. All preparations are well prepared.

"Speaking of which-today is our third day on the island..."

Amachi, who was driving the road side by side, continued to talk to Ogata in order to pass the boring time on the road.

"Now think about it carefully: It seems that since we arrived on the island, we haven't seen other prisoners much."

"It's normal not to meet other prisoners." Ogata replied, "This butterfly island is so big, everyone is scattered and can't meet each other. It's normal."

"It's fine if you can't meet other prisoners," Ah Ding said in a half-joking tone. "There is an extremely dangerous guy among the prisoners who landed on the island this time. We'd better stay away from that guy as far as possible."

"Dangerous guy? Who?"

"A Yi, when the officials pushed all the prisoners, including you and me, out of the jail and escorted them to the beach, didn't you see a sturdy man wearing monk's clothes, who was particularly tall and taller than 7 feet? "

Hearing what Amachi said, Ogata began to recall it carefully.

"Listening to you... I seem to be somewhat impressed... It seems that there is such a number one person."

Ogata remembered—when he was taken to the beach to listen to that Inamori talk, he did see a very conspicuous guy far away from him.

The reason why that guy is conspicuous is because-that guy is really too tall and too big.

If Ogata's height is converted into the length of the earth, it is about 170cm.

Such a height may not be a big deal on the modern earth, but it is already in the ranks of the "high guys" in this era.

And the big guy I saw on the beach was the tallest person Ogata had seen since he came to this era, not one of them.

The height of that big guy is at least 2 meters tall.

Such a height is very impressive on the modern earth, let alone in this era.

In the Edo period, this height was already considered a super giant.

That guy is not only tall, but also quite strong.

Sitting on the beach, like a hill, just look at it with the naked eye, and I feel that the visual impact is amazing.

Although that guy was quite conspicuous because of his size, Ogata didn't care much about that guy.

No matter what country or era, there are strange people who are different from ordinary people.

For example, in the Wang Mang period of the Han Dynasty, there was a strange man named Ju Wu Ba. According to historical records, the height of Ju Wu Ba was about 2.4 meters.

Ogata only regarded the giant man he saw on the beach as a very tall strange man who was born with genes or other reasons like Juwuba, and did not pay much attention to him in the past.

Seeing that Ogata didn't seem to recognize the man, Amachi said in a helpless tone:

"A Yi...Do you usually never watch a wanted order?"

"Yes." Ogata didn't make any concealment. "I never look at wanted orders, and I don't live on bounties, so I never have the motivation to watch this kind of thing. I never pay attention to what is more powerful in the world. The wanted."

After letting out a helpless sigh, Ah Ding slowly said:

"That kind of height, plus the monk's clothes... That guy should be a pure "monk monk"."

"'Monk' Yichun? Is this guy good?"

"According to rumors-quite powerful."

"I don't know much about'monks'."

"I only know some pure rumors of'monks'."

"It is said--Iszumi was originally a monk at Xishao Temple in Osaka."

"Initially, Yichun had no other special place except that he was much taller than others~www.ltnovel.com~ was just an ordinary monk."

"Until one day, Yichun had an argument with a pilgrim because of some trivial matters, and finally missed and killed the pilgrim."

"It is also from this incident that Yichun discovered that fighting and killing people is far more exciting and interesting than chanting Buddha."

"Since then, Yichun has embarked on a path of no return."

"Not only did he fled to Xizhao Temple, but he also stole a naginata from Xizhao Temple."

"Wandering around, stirring up disputes, killing people everywhere."

"Relying on his giant body and great power, he brutally killed countless innocent people."

"And that guy actually has some martial arts talent."

"In the years of struggle, he, who didn't know anything about Naginata, actually created a new set of sword techniques."

"My pure understanding of'monks' is limited to this."

"Unexpectedly, even he was caught on this island..."

A book friend asked me whether the content at the back of this book is all about beating ogres.

Of course not! This book is not a "zombie", how could the main line be "ogre".

In fact, you can not regard the ogre as an "enemy", you can regard the ogre as the [background], I hope you can understand this statement of mine.

My positioning of this book has always been [a samurai novel with a magical atmosphere], Ogata’s enemies will only be humans from beginning to end. Fighting against the sky, against the earth, against the shogunate, the joy is endless.

Instead of suddenly jumping behind a "ghost king", "ghost lord" and the like.
