I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"That year, my brother and I were only 17 years old."

"How can young people at this age stand the temptation to'become a samurai'?"

"My brother and I accepted the big man's move without hesitation."

"And that big man didn't lie to us, he really changed our household registration to a samurai, and made us a Yuli of Kyoto."

"My brother and I changed like this, from Yakuza to a samurai, to Kyoto's Yuli."

"So-from the perspective of household registration, I am actually a samurai." Makimura shrugged with a wry smile, "It's just that this household registration is fake."

"After becoming a member of Kyoto, my career has been smooth sailing."

"After spending 5 years safely in office, I had to leave Kyoto 2 years ago because of some things."

"After I left Kyoto, I was taken in by the Gourd House by various chances and then worked for the Gourd House until now."

After quietly listening to Makimura’s recounting of the past, Ogata whispered:

"Makura...you are also a person with a lot of stories..."

"All the members of the gourd house, everyone has a story." After answering Ogata's sentence in a half-joking tone, Makimura said seriously, "Brother Ogata, after our gourd house is finished, you plan to go there. Kyoto is looking for clues to the pair of mentors, right?"

"Yes." Ogata nodded without thinking.

"In that case, if you have any questions about Kyoto, you can ask me now." Makimura grinned, "How can I say I stayed in Kyoto for 23 years."

"If you talk about the understanding of Kyoto, there may be few people in the world that can beat me."

At this point in the words of Makimura, the three of them just washed their bodies and started to head towards the bath.

The huge pool is only used by three of them-I have to say that this is a different kind of enjoyment.

"Ogata-kun." Mamiya, who had soaked his whole body in the pool, pointed to his neck, "Can the wound on your neck touch the water?"

"It's okay, the scabs have begun to form."

When parting with Kinosuke and others, Ogata got some medicine for stab wounds from Sokai and he has been rubbing the medicine regularly these days.

The vitality of up to 23 points coupled with this fairly effective medicine made Ogata's neck injuries healed at a rapid rate.

The wound is now scabs, and it should be intact as before.

It's a pity that this piece of flesh and blood is still dark purple, declaring to Ogata: Immortal poison is still in your body.

After immersing the part below his neck in hot water, Ogata continued the conversation with Makimura.

"I don't have anything special about Kyoto..." Ogata smiled bitterly.

"That's it... then let me give you a suggestion."

"After you come to our gourd house as a guest, if you drive toward Kyoto non-stop, you should be able to catch up with Kyoto's Gion Festival this year."

"Gion Festival?" Ogata wondered.

"Kyoto's Gion Festival-a grand festival with a history of nearly a thousand years, you should know about it, brother Ogata?"

"I know. But I don't know much."

"The Gion Festival is the busiest time of the year in Kyoto." A faint memory of memories appeared on Makimura's face at this time. "Whether men, women, young or old, will take to the streets and make a fuss.

"There are miracles to patrol, there are mountain ferns patrolling..."

"You can see men and women wearing yukatas and walking on clogs everywhere on the street laughing."

"If you can't take a look at this grand Gion Festival in Kyoto, it would be a very regrettable thing."

"Gion Matsuri..." Ogata chewed on the term, "If I can catch up with Kyoto's Gion Matsuri, I would be happy to check it out."

"It's a pity..." Makimura sighed lightly, "Even if you really caught up with this year's Gion Festival, Brother Ogata, you shouldn't be a prosperous scene."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because of the great fire at dawn." Mamiya on the side said nonchalantly at this time.

"That's right." The smile on Makimura's face gradually reduced at this time. "Suffering from this level of fire, Kyoto certainly hasn't fully cheered up yet."

After listening to Makimura's words, Ogata's expression became heavier involuntarily.

The Great Fire—Ogata still knows about this sensational fire.

The Tianming fire occurred 2 years ago, in the 7th year of Tianming, in 1788 AD.

In this year, Kyoto had the largest fire in history.

It happened to be a strong wind at that time.

The wind borrows the power of the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. The fire soon went out of control in this all-wood city.

The fire raged in Kyoto for 2 days before it finally stopped.

According to the official statement released after the Edo Shogunate: The fire destroyed 36,797 houses, 201 temples, and 37 shrines in Kyoto.

Burned buildings accounted for 80% of the total number of buildings in Kyoto.

There are different opinions on the number of deaths and injuries. The official statement released by the Edo Shogunate is 150 people-but fools know how it is possible that such a small number of people died under a fire of this scale.

According to the official statement, the cause of the fire started in an empty house on the outskirts of the city. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained.

The fire that burned 80% of the houses in Kyoto is called the "Tenmei Fire" by the world.

Although the Tianming fire did not completely destroy Kyoto, it was almost the same.

Only two short years have passed since the great fire of dawn-in such a short period of time, it is naturally impossible to completely rebuild Kyoto and recreate its former glory.

Ogata is ready to see everything in ruins when he comes to Kyoto...

...

...

After the three of them took a shower, Zhang San's men just prepared the clothes and horses for the three of them to wear.

The clothes that Ogata had worn from the Hirose clan to the present have long been tattered. After having new clothes, this tattered suit was ruthlessly abandoned by Ogata.

I don't know whether Jozo's subordinates intentionally or unintentionally, the new clothes they found for Ogata were exactly the same color as his old clothes.

Black hakama and cloth socks, dark blue kimono, light green haori.

Looking at this new set of equipment that was exactly the same color as his old equipment, Ogata couldn't help showing a helpless smile.

After putting on clean new clothes, the three of Ogata came to the outskirts of Ogawa Town under the leadership of Jōsan.

The reins of the three horses were tied to a big tree in a small forest on the outskirts of Okawa Town. The saddles and stirrups of the three horses have been tied.

"Master Mamiya, Master Mucun."

Zhang San's subordinate made a "please" action at the three horses.

"Please accept!"

"I am grateful." Mamiya smiled and bowed to the man before walking towards the three horses.

The horse that Mamiya chose was the strongest horse that seemed to have the strongest temperament.

The fierce horses kept beating their noses, and their hooves kept digging the ground.

After seeing Ogata and others approaching, he kept screaming and roaring towards Ogata and others who came close to it.

"I'm sorry." The junior's subordinate showed an apologetic expression. "Currently we can only ride on these 3 horses. There is no more docile horse."

"It's okay." Mamiya waved his hand. "That's it."

After all, Mamiya just came to the side of the fierce horse.

After a neat turn, Mamiya turned over the back of the fierce horse with a beautiful gesture.

After Mamiya sat on its back, the fierce horse immediately screamed that made the eardrum numb.

While screaming, he kept jumping and shaking his body, trying to throw Mamiya off his back.

But at this time-a miracle happened.

As for the fierce horse who wanted to throw himself to the ground, Mamiya used a special force to pull the rein of the horse in his hand without expression.

He kept chanting the strange onomatopoeia of "Duo Duo Duo Duo".

After a while, the fierce fierce horse under Mamiya's crotch gradually calmed down.

After mounting the horse in Mamiya, Mucun also randomly picked a horse.

The other two horses seemed to have a much more docile temperament. After getting on the horse in Mucun, the horse under his crotch neither ran nor jumped, but only snapped a few noses.

Although both Mamiya and Makimura can ride horses, Ogata can still tell at a glance-Mamiya's horse training techniques are not mentioned. In terms of riding techniques, Mamiya surpasses Makimura too much.

On horseback, Mamiya's waist and legs are very relaxed, while Makimura's back and legs are tight.

"Mamiya, have you learned equestrianism and equestrian training somewhere before, right?"

"You are right. I used to learn horsemanship and horse training in the Shinano area. Get on the horse, Ogata-kun. We are about to start on our way."

"I don't know how to ride a horse..." Ogata slowly leaned towards the last horse in a panic.

"Don't worry." At this moment, Zhang San's subordinate said, "The horse has the most docile temperament. Even if you don't know horsemanship at all, you don't have to worry about being thrown to the ground by that horse!"

"Ogata-kun, don't worry." Mamiya also said at this time, "We will teach you step by step. Equestrianism is not difficult, and you will be able to master it soon."

Knowing that the last horse's temperament was very docile, Ogata's anxiety was slightly calmed down.

Stepped his left foot into the stirrup on the left side of the horse, and then imitated the appearance of Mamiya and Makimura and climbed onto the horse's back.

Just as Zhang San's subordinate said just now-the horse's temperament is indeed docile, and there is a well-behaved appearance with more people on its back, not noisy or noisy.

"Hold the horse's rein tightly." Mamiya Sakuma came to Ogata's side, "then gently knock on the horse's belly with the heel of his right foot."

Ogata obediently followed Mamiya's instructions.

After tapping the horse's abdomen with the right heel, the horse under Ogata's crotch immediately let out a low neigh, and then ran forward with Ogata on its back.

Ogata, who was not prepared for the sudden advance of the horse, let out a low exclamation and almost fell off the horse's back.

"Remember to grab the rein of the horse." Mamiya let out a few smirks, then lightly squatted the belly of the horse under his hips, and chased after Ogata in front.

"Teach me how to ride a horse well..." After a helpless sigh, Makimura drove the horse under the crotch to follow Mamiya's back.

...

...

Under the guidance of Mamiya and Makimura, Ogata has finally mastered the knack of horseback riding, and can control his horse very well—of course, this is also related to his particularly docile temperament.

If you give Ogata a grumpy horse, Ogata is afraid that he will throw a dog on the back of the horse and eat shit.

With the horses, the speed of the three people was immediately quickened.

The three of them headed north from Kii and headed towards Owari.

Ogata did not deliberately count how long it took them to reach Owari. After an unknown amount of time, Ogata finally heard Mamiya and Makimura say-we are almost here, and the front is the base of our gourd house.

It is dusk now.

The sun set to the west reflected the clouds in the northern half of the dense sky. The sky began to be tinted with the color of the sun, but the ground was still bright.

Thanks to the bright light, Ogata could clearly see a small village surrounded by mountains in front of him.

Because it was about to eat dinner time, smoke was rising from all over the village. At the entrance of the village, a few urchins were playing. In the field beside, Ogata saw many villagers packing up farm tools and preparing to go back to the village to eat.

Looking at this small village, which is very ordinary no matter where it is seen from, the expression and look on Ogata's face couldn't help but become weird.

"Jiangong, Mucun, is the base of your gourd house here?"

"Are you thinking--this ordinary rural area is actually the base of your gourd house?" Mucun asked in a half-joking tone, "If you think so, it's right. After all, this place is deliberately arranged as an ordinary appearance."

"This village is actually the outpost of our gourd house." Mamiya said softly at this time. "The villagers here are all people from our gourd house. Once an outsider approaches this place, the villagers here will immediately "be in front of outsiders." Let us know the news."

After seeing Mamiya and Mucun, several villagers who happened to stand at the entrance of the village immediately greeted them respectfully.

After arriving at the entrance of the village, Mamiya and Mucun turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins of the horses to the villagers.

Seeing Mamiya and the others dismount, Ogata immediately dismounts, learning how Mamiya and them were just now, and handing the reins to the villagers.

The villagers didn't seem to be leading horses for the first time. After taking over the horses of the three of Ogata, they used dexterous methods to pull the three horses toward the corner of the village.

"Ogata-kun, we are going to take a mountain trail next."

While talking, Mamiya pointed towards the big mountain behind the village.

"The base of our gourd house~www.wuxiahere.com~ is in that mountain."

"It should be dinner now. If we move faster, we might be able to catch up with dinner."

"Speaking of which-I have always forgotten to ask you, do you have many members in the gourd house?" Ogata asked, looking at the mountain that Mamiya pointed to.

"Not much." Mamiya stretched out four fingers, "The whole gourd house, except for the lord and the source, including me and the village, there are only 4 members in total."

"The number is too small, right?" Ogata yelled angrily.

"Otherwise, why do you think I want to pull you into our gourd house so much?" Mamiya smiled bitterly. "Ogata-kun, the other two members of our gourd house...they have a little... weird personality. So-be mentally prepared."
