I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata told Hatsumi about how he obtained the "power of immortality" in the simplest possible sentences.

"It turned out to be the 'immortal power' obtained from 'Purple Eye'..." Chuguang murmured in shock, "I don't know much about 'Purple Eye'... I can actually get it from 'Purple Eye'. 'The power of immortality'..."

"Whether you believe it or not, that's what happened." Ogata said softly, "Do you know what size the pill I swallowed belonged to?"

"I'm sorry... this... I'm really not sure... After all, I'm not the developer of the Wanruo Pills. I can't tell what number of pills you're taking based on the information you've provided."

"Is that so..." Ogata's face flashed a bit of shock, "Then people like me who get 'immortal power' from 'Mushimo', and the ones like Zuoemon and the others get it from weird meat slices' What are the similarities and differences compared to those of the Undying Force?"

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

"I don't know about this..." Chuguang shook his head, "No one in Toyotomi's army has obtained the 'immortal power' from the 'Zimu' like you, so there is no object that can be used as a reference."

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

And Ogata just stood up, and he had been in charge of leading the interrogation of the first light just now, and then he said:

"...You really know a lot about 'The Power of Immortality'."

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

Yuan Yi folded his hands and placed it on the Yangshen's sword at his waist, looking at Chu Guang with neither sorrow nor joy. .

"The 'power of immortality' must be considered a very important 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 'immortal power'?"

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

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

"No... As far as my position is concerned, I'm just an ordinary **** of Iga. When I say 'high status', I mean another level of status..." After saying this, Hatsumi paused.

After a long silence, he continued:

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

"He always wanted to train me into a pillar who could revitalize Iga in the future."

"So he always took me by his side and trained me hand in hand."

"So I know a lot of things that people of my level shouldn't know."

"Take you as his successor." Genichi raised his brows, "As far as I know... the status of women in Iga no Sato 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 ask quickly." From the beginning, the first light that had never been heard in his mouth, he sighed slightly tiredly.

"We still have a lot of questions here. But don't worry—after you've answered all our questions, we'll keep our promises and set you free."

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

"...Ha." Chuguang let out a few self-deprecating laughter, "I'm afraid that if I tell you the reason, you will be scared."

"...Is Nobuhide trying to overthrow the Edo shogunate and rebuild the Toyotomi world?" Genichi asked coldly.

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

"...Who the **** are you?" A vigilant gleam appeared in his eyes again, and he carefully looked at the source several times, "You guys have...no, you seem to have a lot of respect for Toyotomi Shinhide. understand..."

"Who are we, you don't need to ask more." The look in Yuan Yi's eyes dimmed slightly.

"...You're right. That lunatic Toyotomi Nobuhide was preparing for the rebuilding of the Toyotomi world several years ago."

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

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

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

"What's the benefit of destroying Osaka like this for him to revive Toyotomi?" Shimada couldn't help but asked aloud.

As soon as Shimada's voice fell, he heard Mamiya coldly say:

"...In order to let the Edo Shogunate lose control of the Western Kingdom?"

"You're right, as expected of a person wearing glasses, his head is an aura." Hatsumi glanced at Mamiya, "The power of the Edo shogunate is basically concentrated in the east country, and the control over the west country is the Edo shogunate. It's never been very strong."

"And the relationship with the Edo shogunate is not very good, and the feudal countries that are most likely to rebel against the Edo shogunate, such as the Satsuma domain and the Choshu domain, are basically concentrated in the western country."

"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 to the western countries, is self-evident."

"They are not only important towns used by the Edo shogunate to monitor and deter the West, but also the most important supply base for the Edo shogunate to the West."

"Kyoto has been stagnant since the Tianming fire three years ago."

"The heavy responsibility of monitoring and deterring the West currently rests entirely on Osaka's shoulders."

"And right now, if Osaka is beaten to rubble. Just imagine what would happen."

"The control and deterrence of the Edo Shogunate over the Western Kingdom will plummet."

"If the Western Kingdom is in chaos, the Edo Shogunate, which has no two major supply bases, Kyoto and Osaka, will not be able to send troops."

"To let the Edo shogunate lose control of the Western Kingdom - Toyotomi Nobuhide launched the Osaka Spring Formation for this purpose, destroying Osaka's treasury, and paralyzing Osaka's administrative capacity and making it difficult to restore it in a short period of time. "

"Then, why did you attack Ogata-senpai?" Shimada asked, "How can attacking Ogata-senpai be beneficial to his great cause of 'reviving Toyotomi'?"

"...I don't know about this." Hatsumi's voice sank, "It's always been hard to speculate on what Toyotomi Nobuhide was thinking."

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

"Probably just after Ogata Ichitosai killed the lord of the Hirose Domain, and the name first began to spread across the country, Toyotomi Nobuhide announced in public: Once I meet Ogata Ichitosai, I will try my best to catch me alive if I can catch me alive. In front of you, if you can't catch it alive, you will just kill it."

"In the summer of last year, he also gave a human skin mask from Ogata Ichitosai to a lunatic who planned to burn the entire Kyoto to the ground."

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

"A lunatic who intends to burn the entire Kyoto to the ground?"

"That madman seems to be named Junroku Kunie." Hatsumi continued, "In order to effectively attack the Edo shogunate, Toyotomi Nobuhide has been secretly supporting those who have hatred with the Edo shogunate and dare to fight against the Edo shogunate. individuals or organizations.”

"Just like the Junroku Kunieda who wanted to burn the entire Kyoto to the ground I said just now."

"The most important part of the plan of 'burning down Kyoto, and then passing the responsibility to the Six Great Swords Museum' drawn up by Shunroku Kunie is to let someone with a certain reputation to brutally kill Kyoto Roku. The people of the Great Sword Hall can absorb the hatred of the masters and apprentices of the six major sword halls in Kyoto."

"Ogata Ichitosai was already famous all over the country at that time, and his strength was high. If he pretended to be Ogata Ichitosai to kill people, it would not be easy for people to suspect."

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

"After the Nijo Castle incident in Kyoto, Toyotomi Nobuhide's hatred for Ogata Ichitosai seems to have grown deeper."

"He sent a large number of Iga ninjas all over the country to find Ogata Ichitosai."

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

"But after learning that Ogata Ichitosai is currently in Osaka, he urgently added another mission to eliminate Ogata Ichitosai tonight."

"That Toyotomi Nobuhide... What's wrong with that?" A-ding couldn't bear it any longer, and said in an unbelievable tone, "Ayi has never seen him from beginning to end, so why is that Toyotomi Nobuhide? Like chasing and killing your father's enemy, you keep targeting Ayi like this?"

"Who knows..." Chu Guang shrugged gently.

"...attacking Osaka...this is like a showdown with the Edo shogunate..." Genichi's hands have been clenched since just now, "...do you know the next move of Nobuyuki? After destroying Osaka, he What are you going to do?"

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

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

"I don't know what Toyotomi Nobuhide will do next."

"...Then change the question." In Yuan Yi's tone, there was a complex color mixed with anger, dissatisfaction, tension, and... shame, "Xinxiu... Is he in Osaka tonight?"

"Forget it, let me ask another way - do you know where Xinxiu is now?"

"...Are you trying to hunt down Toyotomi Nobuhide?" Chuguang looked at Yuan without evasion.

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

"If you want to hunt down Toyotomi Nobuhide... I'm afraid it will be quite difficult..." A wry smile slowly appeared on Chuguang's face, "Toyomi Nobuhide... He is most likely still in Koyasan."

Yuan Yi: "Mt. Koya?"

Koyasan—this term has been frequently introduced to the ears of Ogata and others, Huluya and others recently.

Hearing the word "Koya Mountain" again, the expressions on the faces of everyone present changed slightly.

"Surprised, right? The lunatic who tried to subvert the Edo shogunate actually has a stronghold in the sacred Koya Mountain." Chu Guang, who did not know that Ogata and others had already known the problem with Koya Mountain, let out a few self-deprecating laughter again, "Fung A long time ago, the minister, Xinxiu, had an affair with Xianyuan Venerable Master of Xianyuan Temple in Koya Mountain."

"With the help of Venerable Xianyuan, Toyotomi Shinxiu established a stronghold of the Toyotomi clan on Koya Mountain with Xianyuan Temple as the center."

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

"He is most likely still in Koyasan now."

"Mt. Koya..." Mamiya raised his head and sighed.

The expressions of the rest of the people were more or less heavy - except for Ogata and Genichi.

"...Are you familiar with Toyotomi Nobuhide's base in Koyasan?" Genichi asked silently.

"I'm not very familiar with it. I haven't been to the Koyasan base. I only know that Toyotomi Nobuhide's base in Koyasan is centered on the Sengen Temple, and is the most important base for Toyotomi Nobuhide in Japan."

"...Thank you for your hard work." Mamiya beside Yuanichi waved.

Mamiya, who was extremely discerning, could see at a glance what Genichi was doing. He took out a bamboo tube with clear water from his arms and threw it at Genichi.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

"Come on, have a drink." Yuan Yi handed the opened mouth to Chu Guang's mouth.

He said that his lips were a little peeling, and he took the bamboo tube without any hesitation, and gulps down the water in the tube.

at this time-

"Well…"

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

The crowd looked away.

Ogata: "I finally woke up..."

…

…

- I'm there...?

Left and right guards regained consciousness slowly, and blinked his eyes forcefully.

When Left and Right Guardian opened his eyes with his head drooping in front of his chest, the first thing that appeared in his eyes was the chain.

The thick and long iron chains tightly bound his entire body to a wooden post about the same height as him. Can lie on the ground with wooden posts.

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

Mamiya and Makimura walked towards him quickly, like dragging dogs, pulling up the left and right guards one by one and dragging them towards the side room on the side of the Buddhist hall.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?!" Left and right guards roared hurriedly towards Mamiya and Makimura, and struggled hard, trying to open the chain that entangled him with the wooden pillar.

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

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

So they found the iron chain very "intimately", served the left and right guards with the iron chain, and specially wrapped it a few more times.

Ogata and the others' "sweetness" turned into despair left and right.

But even he who has been strengthened by "the power of immortality" cannot break free from such a thick chain.

After Mamiya and Makimura dragged the left and right guards into the side room, Makimura immediately covered it with a white cloth.

…

…

"Um...uuuu! Pfft! Cough cough! Cough..."

The sound of left and right guards being waterboarded came from the side room.

Yuan glanced at the side room and announced to the crowd:

"Okay... Leave the interrogation to Mamiya and Makimura first."

"Asai, come and tie Hatsumi and Shibata back together, and take them to rest."

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Shibata, who had not spoken much, said anxiously, "Didn't you promise us—after we answer all your questions, will we be set free?"

"Yeah. That's what I promised you." Yuan Yi replied, "That's why I didn't set you free immediately—because we still have questions to ask."

"We may have new questions to ask you after we've interrogated the big man."

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

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

Although Chuguang didn't say a word, her small movements seemed to have some kind of magic power, making Shibata immediately quiet.

The two were re-tied by Asai obediently, and then sent to another side room by Asai.

After Asai came back, Asai bluntly said to Yuan:

"Master Yuan, our goal in the future is now clear. It just so happens that Koyasan is not far from Osaka. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach Koyasan without even half a day."

"Hey hey hey..." Feng Mo interjected at this time, "Don't tell me... You guys are going to attack Koya Mountain next..."

"It can be confirmed now - that Toyotomi Nobuhide did indeed set up an important base on Koya Mountain. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Asai Yoshihisa said, "Right now, the lord cannot be found anywhere in Osaka. ."

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

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

"...I, an outsider, don't talk too much about the private affairs of your Gourd House." Feng Mo said lightly, "But let me remind you for the time being—if you go to the place in Koya Mountain, you must be cautious."

"You don't need me to give you more information on the history of Koya Mountain, right?"

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

"It is the ban of countless Buddhists."

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

"One is not good... I can't help but Xiao Lin didn't find it. The forces of Toyotomi were not attacked. Instead, I carried the eternal infamy of 'Buddha's enemy'... and became the next Oda Nobunaga."

"Becoming a 'Buddha enemy' is more terrifying than becoming a 'Northern enemy'."

"Two hundred years ago, Oda Nobunaga burned another Buddhist holy place with the same name as Koya Mountain - Mount Hiei, and he was stabbed in the spine by people and cursed until now."

The famous quote that the author Jun wrote at the end of the chapter yesterday seems to be loved by many people. The author will make persistent efforts in the future and try to write more. Since graduating from college, I don't know why I have become more and more infatuated with the big bear. Maybe it's because I haven't seen a woman other than my family for too long... QAQ
