I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

,

This violent shout made Ogata and Lin's faces both shocked.

But the shock on Lin's face was mixed with a little bit of annoyance.

Ogata Junsheng looked at the gate of the Buddhist hall.

The first thing that appeared in Ogata's field of vision was the panting Makimura.

She looked like she had just run countless sprints, with fine sweat hanging on her forehead, and her chest violently rising and falling.

Appearing in Ogata's field of vision immediately after Makimura was an old man.

The old man was lying on the back of the pastoral village.

An old man with a densely wrinkled face, who looks quite young.

The old man’s skin was like dried orange peel.

The hair was all gray and messy.

Wearing a thin white kimono, there is a touch of sleepiness in his eyes and cheeks-it seems that he has just woke up.

And this old man's subsequent big yawn also confirmed Ogata's conjecture-this old man should have been awakened in an emergency by Makimura just now, and then he came back all the way.

Seeing that Mucun finally brought the old man over, Mamiya's expression on the side relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief:

"Mucun...you are finally here...without wasting the effort that I just wasted on..."

"Fortunately not insulting one's life." After Mamiya responded with a half-joking tone, Makimura put down the old man behind him.

She seemed to be in a rush when she brought this old man over. Before she could even wear his shoes, she was carried over by her.

But the old man didn't care, so he walked slowly towards Ogata and Lin, barefoot.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"

The old man asked Chao Lin in a rather harsh tone.

"..." But Lin did not answer the old man's question.

He just hung his head down with a calm face--this looks like a child who has done something wrong and is in desperate need of punishment by his elders.

"Take Yan Mo back to me!"

"……Yes."

Lin put the tip of the black knife in her hand back to the sheath, and retracted the black knife into the sheath with a "choking".

Just now Mamiya spent countless tongues and failed to persuade Lin to take the knife, and this old man made Lin take the knife without complaint with a simple sentence.

As Lin closed the knife, the tight atmosphere that was originally condensed between her and Ogata was immediately sent with them.

The murderous air that permeated the surrounding also dissipated most of the time.

Seeing Lin had taken the knife, Ogata also slowly put away his Dashaten.

"...Kuro, did you call my uncle?" Lin turned her head and cut her sharp gaze to Mamiya.

"That's right." Mamiya said without hesitation, "It's all my Mamiya's attention. If the lord is dissatisfied with me, please punish me as much as you want."

"……Humph!"

After humming heavily at Mamiya, Lin walked away.

Everyone in the temple, including Ogata, watched Lin leave with different looks at this time.

It wasn't until Lin completely left her field of vision that Ogata secretly said in her heart:

——What a strange person...

Lin's first impression of Ogata was quite bad.

It was nothing more than an unsmiling and cold appearance throughout the whole process, and with inexplicable malice towards him, he kept saying strange things to trouble him.

Just now, he inexplicably pulled out the real sword, and wanted to fight him in a life-and-death duel.

Ogata silently put a label on Lin: A weird person who seems to have a problem with his brain.

"Oh... Xiao Lin's character... really tricky..."

At this moment, the old man just now suddenly uttered a self-talking emotion.

After feeling this way, the old man turned his attention to Ogata's body.

"You should be Ogata Itose. I wanted to wait until the afternoon to see you again. I didn't expect to see you so soon."

The old man looked up and down Ogata several times.

"Hmm... I have a good physique, a good shooter for swordsmanship..."

While the old man was looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at the old man.

"That... Excuse me-are you Kinoshita Genichi?"

Although the identity of this person had been determined in his heart, Ogata couldn't help but asked the old man in a tentative tone.

"That's right." The old man said openly without shuddering, "I'm Kinoshita Genichi."

Now that he got closer to the old man, Genichi Kinoshita, Ogata was able to see Genichi's face more clearly.

Genichi's appearance can be described in one word, and that is-ordinary.

Apart from the height above the average height of this era, there is nothing special.

Genichi is slightly shorter than Ogata. It's only about 168cm.

The facial features covered by dense wrinkles are ordinary, not so ugly, but definitely not so handsome.

It has a carefully trimmed goatee, and the beard that hangs from the chin is about the length of an adult's index finger. The beard was as gray as his hair.

The eyes glowing with soft light are like a pool of calm lake water.

After simply looking up and down Gen for a few times, Ogata couldn't help but secretly said in his heart:

——He...is the "Tian Xia Wushuang" and "Sword Saint" Genichi Kinoshita who was blown to the sky by Mamiya and Maki Village...

Genichi's unremarkable and ordinary appearance is more like a kindly neighborly grandfather than a swordsman who is unparalleled in the world.

However, if you say that there is nowhere in Yuanyi's body that there are swordsmen-such a statement is also biased.

Genichi's palms of both hands are densely covered with calluses-this is the symbol of the sword practitioner.

Just when Ogata wanted to say something to Genichi, Genichi suddenly said to Ogata:

"I'm so sorry..."

Genichi said, bowing to Ogata apologizing.

"When Mr. Mucun came with me on his back, he already told me what happened between you and Xiao Lin."

"Xiao Lin said a lot of rude things to you... I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Ah... it doesn't have to be that." Ogata said quickly, "I don't mind this little thing... I am just wondering if I just said something that shouldn't have annoyed her..."

"Because you just said,'If it wasn't because I was a man, I might have lost to you.'" Asai, who hadn't spoken since just now, replied suddenly.

"Is there anything wrong with my sentence?" Ogata looked confused and confused.

"It's really just a common sentence for ordinary people, but it's not like that in our lord's eyes." Asai whispered, "The words'male' and'female' are very sensitive words in our gourd house. "

"Hey..." Yuan Yi sighed, "Let's talk slowly later. Since you are all awake now, then-let's have breakfast first."

"Mamiya-kun, do you have any leftover breakfast?"

"It's a pity - no. Because you didn't know Yuanyi you would wake up so early, the lord didn't cook your breakfast just now."

"It's too much... Then---Mamiya-kun, can you please make me a simple breakfast?"

"Xiao Lin, who is like this, will definitely not be willing to cook for me."

"I know." After Mamiya gave a wry smile, he walked outside the Buddhist hall with the knife on his waist.

"Ogata-kun, have you had breakfast?" Genichi returned his gaze to Ogata.

"have eaten."

"Then eat a little more with me." Yuanyi smiled kindly, "Let's eat and talk."

...

...

Ogata and his party are now in the yard where they had dinner last night.

Mamiya poured various ingredients into the pot and cooked rice porridge mixed with various condiments.

Makimura stood opposite Mamiya and beat Mamiya, putting the broken pieces of firewood into the bottom of the pot.

Now the weather has warmed up again, so within a short while, the pastoral village near the firewood was already sweating profusely.

In order to cool down, Mu Cun simply took off his upper body clothes and revealed the Chilong tattoo on his back.

After the temple was dispersed, Asai and Shimada disappeared.

Genichi sat next to the pot side by side with Ogata.

Genichi's biggest impression on Ogata at the moment is that he is kind.

Very kind and easy-going, without any airs.

Originally, Ogata was worried about whether a peerless master like Genichi would be someone with a temper or a strange behavior.

"Xiao Lin is a very self-esteem person."

Source a soft voice.

"Because of some things in her childhood, she has always minded her daughter's identity."

"Or... I hate my daughter's identity."

"So I hate others for taunting her gender, or boasting about her gender. She is extremely sensitive on issues related to'gender'."

"Ogata-kun, if it weren't because I was a man, I might have lost to you. In Xiaolin's ears, you are boasting that you are a man, so you have not been defeated."

"... Isn't she a bit too sensitive?" Ogata couldn't help but vomit, "I obviously didn't mean it... how did she understand it like this..."

"Xiao Lin's character is like this." Yuanyi smiled bitterly. "Her character has also troubled me for a long time..."

Ogata smiled bitterly with Genichi.

While smiling bitterly, Ogata recalled the battle with Kinoshita Lin just now.

The battle just now gave Ogata the greatest insight, and that is - there are so many capable masters in this world.

Today, Ogata met a woman who could temporarily rival him.

——The Edo shogunate ruled Japan for more than two hundred years, and the masters under the shogunate might be countless...

Ogata thought that way for no reason.

Ogata bowed his head and looked at his open palms with calluses.

——Not to mention the whole world... Just an Edo shogunate must have many masters under his command.

——Inside...There must be many capable people who are far from my opponents at present...

The memory picture lurking in his mind, as if he had his own consciousness, popped out of Ogata's mind automatically-Ogata recalled Kinosuke, Sokai and others of Chojima.

The weak Kinosuke and his party have to negotiate with the shogunate to have a way out...

A picture was automatically sketched in Ogata's mind: one day in the future, he encountered a master of the shogunate who was far above him.

He who has no strength to fight back, he has to talk to the shogunate with humility like Kinosuke and the others, in order to have a way of life...

This picture just appeared in Ogata's mind, and Ogaki shook his head abruptly, as if he was planning to throw this picture out of his mind.

--I still……

Ogata secretly said in his heart, and slowly clenched his fists.

——Not strong enough...

...

...

"Ogata-kun."

At this moment, Mamiya, who was making porridge seriously, said suddenly.

"Are you very confused now-our lord has such a terrible personality, why do we people still follow her?"

Hearing this question from Mamiya, Ogata was taken aback.

Then immediately secretly said in my heart:

——Yes, how do you know.

After experiencing the unpleasant encounter with Kinoshita Lin just now, Okinawa came up with this idea: Why would such strong people like Mamiya and Makimura follow this woman who seems to have a very flawed personality?

Of course-Ogata couldn't directly say "Yes, you are right" to Mamiya.

If you answer this way, it's always a little inappropriate.

Just as Ogata was thinking about how to answer more appropriately, Mamiya smiled and asked and answered.

"I don't know why other people follow the lord."

"But I can tell you a little bit about the reason why I am determined to follow the lord."

"Due to the problems of the growing environment in her childhood, the lord's self-esteem was too high, which made the lord too...extreme in some places, but... she has a unique gentleness in some places."

"It was her unique tenderness that convinced me..."

Mamiya's eyes flickered, as if remembering something.

"Ogata-kun, if you have a lot of contact with the lord, one day you will also be aware of the convincing gentleness of the lord."

After listening to Mamiya's words, Ogata's mind slowly showed the scene of Kinoshita Lin who pointed the knife at him just now...

This picture can't be linked to the word "gentle"...

"Okay." Genichi patted his palms twice at this time, "Stop talking about Xiaolin, let's talk about something else. Ogata-kun, you can tell me how you learned my selfless two-sword style. Is it?"

This book is organized and produced by the public account. Follow ~www.wuxiahere.com~ to receive cash red envelopes!

Genichi's words brought Ogata's consciousness back to reality.

Seeing that Genichi was about to change the topic, Ogata also changed the topic happily.

The series of events just now made Ogata's impression of Kinoshita Lin very bad.

Therefore, I don’t have any idea of ​​wanting to know her better~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ogata uses as short sentences as possible to get his uncle from Genichi to get the cheats of the second sword style of Wumei, this secret book. The whole process of reaching his master, then passing it to him, and finally he used his superior understanding to comprehend the moves in the cheats to Yuanyi.

Of course-this paragraph of comprehending all the moves in the cheats by virtue of superior understanding is purely made up.

After listening carefully to Ogata's overview, Genichi suddenly let out a few...with a somewhat triumphant laugh.

"Mamiya-san! Makura-san! Have you seen it?!"

Gen one by one took Ogata's shoulders.

"In private, you always say that the scratch paper used for wiping your buttocks is more useful than the cheats I wrote by myself!"

"Look! There are still people who can learn the two-sword style of selflessness with the help of my handwritten cheats!"

Someone can understand and learn the tricks written in their own secret book-this seems to make Genichi quite happy.
