I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The next day, early morning—

The four Ogata, who were ready to set off, stood in front of the gate of Tenmanji Temple, doing a final check on their equipment.

Zonghai, Kenkai, and Matsumoto all stood at the gate of the temple, preparing to see Ogata and others off.

Today, the four of Ogata set off to the only place on the island where humans live in groups—Toyowa Village, to find valuable information and find ways to get out of the island.

The four Ogata plan to go to Toyohwa Village, while Matsumoto plans to stay at Tenmanji.

"I am a doctor who has no power to bind chickens. I will follow you deep into the island. This kind of thing is too dangerous for me, so I should stay at Tenman Temple."-This is it. Matsumoto's original words.

While Ah Ding was checking whether his gunpowder, projectiles and other items were all with him, Makimura suddenly came over.

"Miss Ah Ding..."

"what's happenin?"

"It's nothing... I just came here... to apologize to you."

"Huh? Apologize?" Ah Ding looked puzzled.

"Sorry..." Mu Cun said as he scratched his hair, "I said something very rude to you last night. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."

"Ah, what happened last night..." Ah Ding smiled helplessly, raised his hand high and patted Makura's shoulder, "Let it pass last night. I don't care anymore."

"It's fine if you don't care." Makimura sighed and added, "I actually never thought about coming to apologize to you... It was Brother Ogata who came to me aggressively early this morning and asked me to come. my apologies."

"Brother Ogata's expression at that time was terrifying... if I didn't come to apologize to you, I would have to slash me..."

"So it was Ai who asked you to apologize..." Amachi muttered, while unconsciously casting his eyes on Ogata who was talking to Zonghai.

...

...

"Zonghai, the head of Toyohwa Village--what kind of person is Kinosuke?"

Ogata asked Monghai in front of him while checking the drinking water and other things hanging on his waist.

"Kinosuke... he is a very serious and upright person."

"He is not only the village head of Fenghe Village, but also the best family on this island. His house is the largest on this island. After entering Fenghe Village, you go directly to the most magnificent one. The house is fine. It must be his home for Kinosuke."

"Kinosuke is good at everything, but unfortunately there is a small problem, that is, he likes to be neat. When he gathers things, he likes to arrange them according to a specific rule."

"Ah, that's right."

Zonghai thought of something, and walked quickly back to the back hall of Tianman Temple.

When Zong Hai came back, he had a sword in his hand.

"You hold this sword." Zong Hai handed the sword in his hand to Ogata.

"This is?" Ogata wondered.

"I've said it before-the mentor and Kinosuke have a very good friendship. This sword is a gift that Kinosuke once gave to us at Tenman Temple."

"If you see Kinosuke, tell them-you are friends of Tenman Temple, and then show him this sword."

"In this way, you can prove that you are indeed friends and not enemies."

"That's it...Thank you, this stuff is very useful."

After putting away the sword, Ogata asked Amachi and others beside him:

"Have you checked everything? Is there anything you forgot to bring?"

"No." Ah Ding shook his head.

Mamiya and Makimura also shook their heads.

"Then—let's go," Ogata said loudly.

"Dear donors, the little monk wishes you all..."

Before Zong Hai's words were finished, Xu Jianyi suddenly changed the subject:

"But—before setting off, Zong Hai, be honest with each other."

Ogata deflected his head and swept his sharp gaze towards Zonghai.

"Let's... have a little chat."

There are no more extra emotions on his face, only seriousness.

Not only Kenkai and others, but even Amachi and Mamiya cast doubtful glances at Ogata.

Only Zong Hai's expression changed, still with a faint smile on his face.

"Donor, what do you want to chat with me?"

"Zonghai." Ogata said in a serious tone, "I already hinted at you by the well yesterday."

"If you think of something important, just tell us in time."

"I wanted to give you a chance."

"Give you an opportunity... to make up for your work and thoroughly explain everything you know."

"I want to save you some face, and don't want to tear the last skin between you and me."

"But... I have been waiting last night until now, and I haven't waited for you to clarify everything you know."

Zong Hai's expression at this time finally ceased to be the same as before, with a gentle smile that had been hanging around.

Although there was still a faint smile.

But at this moment the smile on his face was a bit more bitter.

"Since Zong Hai, you don't want to take the initiative to speak, then I will take the initiative to ask now."

"Zonghai." Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light burst into his eyes. "You have known that there is a problem with the Linon River, am I right?"

As soon as Ogata said this, everyone except Zonghai and Xianhai showed sorrow.

"...Donor." Zong Hai asked softly, "Why... why did you say this?"

"When you told me yesterday that all the water used by the islanders on this island comes from the Linon River~www.wuxiahere.com~ I found something was wrong."

"After searching the station left by the shogunate researchers, I learned that soldiers who have been on the island for less than a month can turn into ogres. I am convinced that there must be a big problem with the water of the Linon River. ."

"All the islanders on this island will become ogres, except for your mentor."

"This shows that there must be some difference in lifestyle between your teacher and other islanders."

Ogata's tone at this time gradually rose:

"When you told me yesterday that the living water of the rest of the islanders was taken from the Linon River, I knew that the biggest difference in the way of life between your Tenman Temple and the other islanders is that your water is different."

"Tenman Temple's usual domestic water is taken from wells that lead directly to underground waterways."

"The researchers of the shogunate didn't know that there was an exception on this island that your mentor would not turn into an ogre. So they didn't notice in time that there might be a problem with the water of the Linon River-this is understandable."

"But Zonghai, you didn't notice that there was a problem with the water of the Linon River. There is no excuse for this!"

"You know that your teacher will not become an ogre, only other islanders will become an ogre. So as long as you compare your lifestyles, you can easily find that the biggest difference between you is water. s difference!"

"But you never mentioned the problem of river water to us, and told us that you didn't know why the islanders became ogres..."

Speaking of this, the cold light in Ogata's eyes grew sharper, and his left hand was already pressed against the sheath of the knife on his waist.

"And... you have the medicine that can suppress the'undead poison'... this is also quite suspicious."

"When you showed me the medicine that can suppress the'undead poison', I noticed that there must be something wrong with you."
