I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Whether it was the masters and apprentices of the Hosei Sword Museum or the gangsters, all the people present except Amachi stared blankly at Ogata, who defeated Shimura's wooden sword with a sword just now.

Everyone is recalling what happened just now.

First, both Ogata and Shimura set up their mid-section positions and confronted each other.

Shimura shouted "Come on!"

Then Ogata narrowed the distance between him and Shimura at a speed that was so dazzling, and then hit the blade of the wooden sword in Shimura's hand with a horizontal slash, and directly flew the wooden sword in Shimura's hand.

It wasn't until all the wooden swords in his hand were blown off that Shimura realized that he had been defeated.

Shimura's dumb gaze swept back and forth between his palm that hurts from the back of the sword and Ogata in front of him.

"Accept." Ogata put down the wooden sword in his hand, bowed to Shimura, and then backed back to where he stood.

Until now, Shimura completely recovered from the daze.

The sword in his hand was directly knocked out by the opponent—this is in the real sword duel, Shimura already belongs to the kind of person who can't die anymore.

Even the opponent's posture and swordsmanship were unclear and he was defeated-Shimura couldn't help being embarrassed.

But if he loses, he loses. He can only suppress the unwillingness and resentment in his heart and push back to the edge of the dojo to sit down.

As soon as Shimura retreated, a handsome young man who was about 25 years old quickly got up, took a wooden knife from the knife stand next to him, and walked quickly onto the dojo, and came to Ogata's body.

"Hosei Ten Swords! Sanjo Heigoro!" The handsome young man set up his wooden sword while reporting his name.

Ogata also resumed his mid-stage posture.

"Izumoman, Goro Mashima."

"Drink!"

As soon as Ogata finished reporting his name, Sanjo made a qi fusion and narrowed the distance between Ogata and Ogata in one breath, and then swung his sword towards Ogata.

From the battle between Ogata and Shimura just now, Sanjo has already seen that Ogata's speed is quite amazing.

If you foolishly waited for Ogata's astonishing speed to launch the first strike, I'm afraid it will repeat the mistakes of Shimura.

So in order to win, the three decided to preemptively.

According to the introduction to Ogata by Luo Chihu just now, "Hosei Ten Swords" is the collective name for the 10 masters of swordsmanship in this Hosei Sword Museum.

Since this handsome young man named Sanjo also has the title of "Treasure Life Ten Swords", he is naturally one of the few leaders in the sword hall.

After Sanjo launched an attack on Ogata, a faint exclamation sounded from the surroundings.

Many apprentices at the Hosei Sword Gym were surprised by Sanjo's fast attack speed.

However-facing the extremely fast slash in the eyes of others, Ogata didn't change his face, stepped to the side, and easily escaped Sanjo's slash.

Sanjo's stepping speed and slashing speed are incredibly fast in the eyes of others.

But in Ogata's eyes-it is Turtle Speed ​​who can avoid it casually.

After absorbing the "undead poison" in the body for the second time, Ogata's strength, agility, reflex nerves, physical strength, and vitality increased to 20 points, 18 points, 15 points, 21 points, and 36 points respectively.

Ogata's current physical fitness is very different from the period when all his attribute values ​​were only 5 points in this era.

His physical fitness is now far superior to ordinary people.

The reflex nerve at 15 o'clock allows Ogata to easily see through the three sword paths and react quickly.

And the agility of up to 18 o'clock allows Ogata to easily flash through three slashes like a street in the morning.

Although there is no need to use "stepping" at all, Ogata still uses "stepping" to avoid Sanjo's attacks in order to get a little experience point for the second swordsman.

After avoiding Sanjo's attack, Ogata quickly switched from the middle posture to the lower posture.

Sakurahara One Sword Style · Climb!

Ogata's wooden sword accurately hit the blade of Sanjo's wooden sword.

The moment the two wooden knives touched each other, Sanjo felt a huge force passing along the wooden knives to the palms of their hands.

The three are simply unable to contend with this tremendous force.

Therefore, he could only watch the wooden knife in his hand come out, flying high, almost hitting the ceiling above, drawing a beautiful parabola, and falling heavily behind him.

【Sakihara One Sword Style Level: 12 Steps (15709000)】

Because Ogata just used the step-by-step method of the second sword art without me, the second sword art without me also gained a certain amount of experience-although it is very few, it is better than nothing.

"Acceptance." Ogata bowed lightly towards Sanjo.

"I lost..." Sanjo retorted with a wry smile, and calmly accepted his defeat.

Convinced to lose-these are the three current feelings.

The attack I just made was an unreserved attack with all strength.

But Ogata easily avoided it.

And he couldn't catch Ogata's slashing connection.

Undoubtedly a fiasco.

After nodding to Ogata, Sanjo turned around and picked up his wooden knife that had been knocked out, and then sat back where he had just sat.

As soon as Sanjo retired, another young man excitedly took a wooden knife from the knife holder, and then stood in front of Ogata.

"Ten swords of Baosheng! Takeshi Chino!"

Oo nodded to him, then set the knife again.

This time, Ogata did not assume the middle posture, but the upper posture.

A tall person will be extremely deterrent when using the upper posture.

Imagine a little bit, and you can imagine how terrifying this picture is: a person who is more than ten or tens of centimeters taller than you raises the knife in his hand—you're afraid that you can even get close. do not know.

Chiye's height is only about 1.5 meters.

In the face of Ogata, who is 1.7 meters tall and puts on the upper posture, he suddenly feels pressure doubled.

Despite the pressure, Chiye was not afraid at all, but was eager to try.

After licking his dry lips, he yelled and attacked Ogata.

boom!

After Chino rushed to the distance that his sword could cut him, Ogata did not hesitate to use the water.

Because of his height, Chino has a much shorter hand than Ogata, and his attack range is far less than Ogata.

Ogata's sword can already cut him, and the tip of his sword can barely touch the corner of Ogata's clothes.

If he can't beat Ogata, Chino has only two options: dodge and hard-attach Ogata's sword.

Chiye is not the kind of person with very flexible steps, and he is not good at dodge, so he can only grit his teeth, hold his knife to block, and try to use brute force to open Ogata's knife.

boom!

The sound of wooden knives colliding again exploded.

Like his first two fellows, Chiye couldn't bear the huge force that was passed down the wooden knife, and the wooden knife was shot directly into the air.

"Concession."

…

…

After Chino went off the court, someone else eagerly raised his sword and tried to compete with Ogata.

The contest between these apprentices at Ogata and Hosei Sword Museum has profoundly proved a truth-in the face of the absolute poor physical fitness in unarmed combat and cold weapon combat, any skill is a bullshit.

Ogata's strength, agility, or reflexes are far superior to these apprentices at Hosei Sword Museum.

Ogata could easily avoid their attacks.

As for Ogata's ordinary and extreme attack, they could neither dodge nor catch it.

Fake moves, tricks... these enemy skills are not necessary at all.

Facing these apprentices at Hosei Sword Museum, Ogata is simply "Superman with One Sword."

With a simple attack, all of them can be defeated.

The only thing that needs attention is that Ogata's current strength value is too high.

To control this powerful force, try not to hurt the opponent on the other side-this is very troublesome.

Therefore, in order to save trouble, Ogata did not attack the bodies of these people, but only attacked the swords in their hands and picked them up.

…

[Level of Sakihara One Sword Style: 12 steps (20059000)]

After flying the sword of the challenger in front of him again, the system sound prompting to gain experience points once again sounded in Ogata's mind.

This is today's 13th system sound that prompts to gain experience points.

Ogata has defeated 13 challengers at Hosei Sword Museum one after another.

In addition to the Treasure Ten Swords, there are also some apprentices who have itchy hands and want to compete with this rare powerhouse to compete with Ogata.

Because their strength is very good, so after defeating them, they don't get much experience.

But Lien Chan came down in one breath, and Ogata still gained a lot.

It's someone else, Lien Chan's 13 people, I'm afraid they are already out of breath.

But Ogata still looks like a okay person.

He breathed smoothly, except for a few drops of fine sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't see that he had already had 13 people in Lien.

Ogata's current stamina is 21 points.

It was after he left Edo with Amachi, in a forest where no one passed by, he experienced for the first time how strong the stamina of the number two is.

Ogata and Amachi are troubled by certain things because they are too strong and the recovery speed is too fast.

Beating 13 naiji would not make the current Ogata's breathing quicker.

After the 13th challenger went down the court with a frustrated face, no one immediately came back on the court as before.

Just after Ogata thought that no one would be on the court anymore, another apprentice from the Hosei Sword Museum hesitated for a while and walked up slowly.

Although this apprentice is short, he is extremely strong.

The "short and stout" apprentice didn't go to the knife stand to get a knife, but just stood in front of Ogata empty-handed.

"Step!" the short and stout apprentice said loudly, "Are you good at unarmed martial arts?"

"Not so good at swordsmanship." Ogata said, "but I still know a little bit."

"Then-can you let me learn one or two?"

After all, the short and stout apprentice raised his hands and put on the hands-up pose of Katori Shinto-style Jiu-Jitsu.

To say that Katori Shinto-ryu is a school of swordsmanship is actually an inaccurate statement.

The Sakura Wara Ichito Style and the Two Dome Styles that Ogata learned are the most standard schools of swordsmanship. Except for swordsmanship, nothing else is taught.

And Katori Shinto-ryu is not just teaching swordsmanship.

The full name of Katori Shinto-ryu is "the true nature of Katori Shinto-ryu". It was born in the Warring States Period two hundred years ago. It is a proper ancient martial art.

In addition to swordsmanship, Katori Shinto-ryu also teaches many other martial arts.

Kodachi, Odachi, Double Sword, Draw Sword, Stick Sword, Naginata Sword, Spear Sword, Jiu-Jitsu, Shuriken, Ninjutsu.

In addition to these martial arts, Katori Shinto-ryu also teaches many weird things.

For example: Fengshui, fortification...

Although Katori Shinto-ryu is a comprehensive samurai genre that includes many martial arts, very few dojos that teach Katori Shinto-ryu have the ability to teach all martial arts.

Most of the Katori Shinto-ryu dojos can only teach swordsmanship.

When Sakahara Sword Museum was still there, the relationship with Sakahara Sword Museum was extremely bad, and Ishikawa Sword Museum, which Ogata once fought with, is a good example.

Ishikawa Sword Museum is also a dojo where Katori Shinto-ryu is taught, but they only teach swordsmanship, not other martial arts.

Seeing the short and stout apprentice in front of him put on a fighting posture, Xu could guess that this precious sword hall should be the rarer dojo that teaches both swordsmanship and unarmed combat.

"I am happy." After placing the wooden knife in his hand on the floor not far away, Ogata raised his hands and set up Shiranui Jiujitsu's starting hand style.

"Shimabara Shibei!"

After calling out his name aloud, the short apprentice Shimabara moved his feet and leaned towards Ogata little by little.

And Ogata also moved his feet little by little to greet Shimabara.

Just after the hands of both parties could touch each other, Shimabara yelled and swooped into Ogata’s arms, grabbed Ogata’s collar, and then used Katori Shinto-ryu Jiujitsu techniques. , I want to throw Ogata to the ground.

Shimabara didn't keep any hands. I directly used my full strength.

However, Ogata didn't move at all with all his strength.

Shimabara cast a stunned look at Ogata—he felt Ogata’s feet rooted on the ground, unable to move even an inch.

Unarmed combat pays more attention to physical fitness than armed combat.

When neither party is armed, the stronger, faster, and quicker person will basically win-there is no doubt about this.

Unless you use "Ogata Ryu" and throw sand on people's faces.

Ogata just tried harder and pierced his feet more firmly on the ground, and then easily resisted Shimabara's strength.

After Shimabara failed to pull Ogata several times, Ogata launched a counterattack.

Ogata raised his hand and grabbed Shimabara's kimono hem, then used Shiranui Jiujitsu to easily pull Shimabara from the ground, and then threw it to the ground.

When he threw Shimabara to the ground, Ogata held back his strength and only caused him some pain, but he did not suffer any injuries.

[Current personal level: LV34 (23755200)]

[Shiranui Ninjutsu level: 6 stages (38054500)]

Seeing that Ogata actually knew Jiu-Jitsu and was willing to use Jiu-Jitsu to "seek advice" from them, some apprentices who were not confident in their own swordsmanship but had a little confidence in their own Jiu-Jitsu began to move around.

After Shimabara saluted Ogata with regret and left the field, an apprentice immediately came forward and wanted to learn Jiu-Jitsu with Ogata.

After Ogata used Shiranui Jiu-Jitsu and defeated 3 people one after another, his personal level experience bar rose to LV34 (25255200), and Shiranui Ninjutsu's experience bar rose to 6 levels (39554500).

Counting the 13 people defeated by swordsmanship before, plus the 4 people defeated by Jiu-Jitsu just now, Ogata now has a 17-game winning streak.

Just now, while watching Luojihu and others challenge the apprentices of the Hoyu Sword Museum, Ogata had counted the number of apprentices in the Sword Museum—68 in total.

17 people-this already accounts for a quarter of the number of apprentices in the Baosheng Sword Museum.

In other words, Ogata has defeated a quarter of the apprentices at Hosei Sword Museum.

Ogata moved his gaze to look at the other three-quarters of the apprentices who had not yet played.

The remaining three-quarters of the students all lowered their heads slightly or looked away, and did not have the slightest intention of going forward to compete with Ogata and save face for their sword hall.

As for the people on the beard—they saw Ogata Yijian picking up the "Treasure Ten Swords" that defeated all four of them, their mouths opened in consternation, and their jaws seemed to fall to the ground at any time. same.

Then after seeing Ogata's consecutive victories, the astonishment on their faces turned into joy.

Human psychology is so strange.

After I deflated, I hope other people can vent their anger for myself.

There is no one to play again.

An old male voice full of praise sounded:

"Beautiful skill! I didn't expect that in this era of slack martial arts, there could be such a talented person!"

The owner of this old male voice is an elderly person who is about 50 years old.

The old man had been sitting on the main seat of the dojo, quietly watching the apprentices in the dojo battle against the rookie and Ogata.

Being able to sit in the main seat of the dojo-it is self-evident what the identity of this old man is.

"Ji Xia Baosheng Jinnosuke! I am the owner of this Baosheng Sword Museum!" The old man introduced himself, "Xia Xia has little knowledge and cannot recognize the swordsmanship and jiu-jitsu used under his feet, and he arranges the names of the schools of swordsmanship and jiu-jitsu under his feet Yes?"

"The swordsmanship I practiced here is called Gumu Ichidori." Ogata replied. "The unpopular swordsmanship that only spreads in the corner of Izumo, I didn't recognize it as normal."

"As for the Jiu-Jitsu used underneath, there are no schools and no schools, just a wild way out of my own."

It is naturally impossible for Ogata to say that the Jiu-Jitsu he uses is the Jiu-Jitsu in Shiranui Ninjutsu.

Baosheng smiled and nodded, and after looking up and down Ogata several times with his smiling eyes, he then asked:

"Are you the traveler who has traveled here?"

"Almost. Because of some things, the trip ends here."

"Is this one step and Ling going to live in Kinno Town for a long time? Or is it just passing here and leaving here soon?"

"I don't plan to live in Kinno Town for a long time, but I won't leave immediately. For some reasons, Uchiko and I will stay here in Kinno Town for more than a month. We should not leave until January of the coming year."

After learning that Ogata was going to stay here for more than a month, Baosheng raised his eyebrows, and then he was thinking.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and shouted at the disciples not far away:

"You leave for a while, I want to talk to Mashima-kun about something in private."

After placing the order with his disciples, Baosheng looked at the group of people in the distance.

"Everyone, please leave first."

Baosheng seemed to be very prestigious among his disciples. After Baosheng's order was given, his disciples didn't say anything, and after a concerted response, they filed out from the dojo.

Although they were defeated, they were in a good mood because they saw Ogata revenge for them. They left the dojo with a bit of joy on their faces.

Soon, there were only 3 people left in the dojo, Hoyu, Ogata, and Amachi.

"Mashima-kun, please sit down as you please."

Baosheng smiled and made a "please" motion in front of him.

"I want to talk to you about something."

Ogata was a little curious about what Baosheng wanted to talk to him, so he walked slowly to a distance of a few steps away from Baosheng and then sat down on his knees.

At this time, Amachi also came to Ogata's side with Ogata's Ogata and Ozazao, who had just been given to her for safekeeping, and then sat down next to Ogata.

"The apprentice below is not good at learning." Baosheng smiled bitterly and bowed towards Ogata, "I made you laugh."

"Nothing." Ogata bowed back immediately. "The apprentices below are all very good. I haven't seen such a vigorous and energetic sword hall for a long time."

There was nothing polite about what Ogata said just now, it was all truthful.

He sincerely felt that this precious sword hall was quite good, the apprentices were very energetic, and this sword hall had a very good atmosphere.

Ogata could see that a considerable number of those who came up to compete with him just now knew that they would lose.

But they still played without hesitation. Just to compete with a rare master.

After the defeat, most of the 17 people admitted frankly that they were defeated.

Go on the court cleanly, then go off the court happily.

It is very rare for nearly a quarter of the people in a sword hall to have such a brave and open mind.

After Baosheng uttered a few humble words in succession, Chaoofang asked seriously:

Hearing Ogata's words, Baosheng's face showed an inconceivable joy.

"I admire the level of swordsmanship under my feet." Baosheng said, "Even if it's me, you may not even be able to handle your three moves."

"Nothing." Ogata was also humble. "It's ridiculous."

"If you don't mind, I hope that I can be a diners of my dojo for the rest of the month, teaching me and my disciples swordsmanship."

After that, Baosheng leaned over and bowed to Ogata.

"Diner?" Ogata raised his eyebrows. "Teach you swordsmanship?"

Recruiting diners—one of the trends that prevailed in the dojo during the Edo period.

Some wealthy dojo masters will recruit some people who are quite capable of swordsmanship in their dojo.

The so-called diners are a group of people who are usually raised by the master of the dojo, and when there is a need in the dojo, they have to stand up and serve the dojo.

"It's okay to help, it's okay to help, quarrels to help, fights to be accomplices"-this sentence is perfect to describe diners.

The reasons for recruiting diners are often strange.

Some are to prevent kickers, raise a group of powerful diners, and let the powerful diners play when they meet those who come to kick the hall.

Some are to increase the power of the sword hall.

According to what Baosheng just said, he recruited Okata as a diner, obviously for another more popular reason-to allow powerful diners to teach the apprentices in the hall.

"It's true that I have never seen a young talent as strong as my step."

Baosheng said respectfully, leaning over the ground.

"It would be a shame if you left like this for the skill of swordsmanship."

"Since I have to stay here for more than a month, it is better to come to my sword hall frequently for more than a month to teach my disciples."

"You will not treat your step badly. If you want, you can provide you with three meals a day and pay."

Baosheng threw an olive branch to him—this incident was indeed unexpected by Ogata.

A bit of surprise appeared on his face. After staring at Baosheng in front of him, Ogata asked back:

"I want to solicit the next diners at one step? Are you sure?"

"Yes." Baosheng replied without hesitation, "everything I said just now, not a word is lie."

"It's rare to encounter a swordsman who is so strong and might be able to improve the swordsmanship of my disciples. It would be a shame not to ask him for advice or two!"

Looking at Takara, who was still worshipping in front of him, Ogata groaned.

In fact, it is quite common in this Edo era that this kind of kicker suddenly turns into a sword hall eater.

Sometimes, some sword hall masters have a passion for talent, and they will accept strong kickers as diners.

Therefore, some ronin who don't want to work, just want to eat and drink, in order to become diners and trust in a certain dojo, they will play around in the hall, hoping that Bole can accept him.

But the kind of swordsman who defeated all of your disciples, but still willing to accept the other party as a eater, and ask the other party to point out his disciples in the future, is relatively rare.

"...The heart of one step is really admirable." Ogata gave a faint smile, "Facing the presence of the 17 disciples who came to ask for advice and defeated the 17 disciples of your hall, not only did you not get angry at all, but please also become a diners of your hall. ."

Ogata somewhat understands why the apprentices in the Hosei Sword Museum are so vigorous and energetic, and so not humble or humble—what kind of master there is, the style of the sword museum will be.

"Okay, then." Ogata nodded vigorously. "For the rest of the month, I would like to ask your library for advice."

What is drowsiness, come on a pillow-this is it.

As soon as Ogata was worried about how to gain experience points for the remaining month, Baosheng invited him to come to his sword hall as a diner.

As long as you become their diners, you can openly open the Baosheng Sword Hall in the future, and then openly "pain" the apprentices in the Sword Hall, and then openly receive a huge amount of experience points.

Ogata naturally has no reason to refuse this kind of win-win situation.

"So—" There was an undisguised joy on Baosheng's face, "I will have to work in the future."

After that, Baosheng bowed to Ogata again, and Ogata respectfully paid back.

…

…

at the same time-

In a village slightly away from Kinno Town.

A dozen men gathered in a house in the village.

They are of different ages. The man sitting in the middle of them is the oldest. His hair is more than half of the time. His age is estimated to be between 50 and 60 years old. This old man is the head of the village.

Whether the village chief or the other men gathered in this house, they all have a sad face and a heavy face.

"The village chief...what should we do now?" the middle-aged man closest to the village chief said in a deep voice, "have been to the government many times...the government completely ignores us..."

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the rest of the people present showed grief and indignation.

Some people even gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and looked like they wanted to find someone to fight right away.

Only the village chief had a calm face, as if he had expected such a situation a long time ago.

The head of the village, who remained calm, said abruptly:

"...Go get a samurai. UU read www.uukanshu.com"

"Please samurai?" The middle-aged man just now exclaimed.

Everyone focused their eyes on the village chief, full of doubts and shock.

"This can only be done." The village chief sighed, "The government is unable to rescue us, so we can only ask the samurai to rescue us..."

"The life of the samurai is not easy now."

"As long as we can come up with a certain amount of remuneration, there should be people who have a bad day and have enough skills to help."

"...What shall we use to invite the samurai?" It was the middle-aged man again, with a sad expression on his face, "There is nothing in the village..."

"And... what if we invite a group of wolves to repel the big bear?"

"...I can only gamble." The village head let out a long sigh again.
