I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

After leaving the door of the dusty medical hall, Ogata directly groaned in disbelief.

"How is it now... 3 masters and apprentices, 2 missing... 1 went to prison..."

Ogata feels a little pain in his head now.

"At present, the only person who knows the approximate whereabouts is Xuanzheng's little apprentice Xuanren." A Ding echoed.

"Um...yes, so it can't be regarded as all the clues broken..."

After being silent for a while, Ogata suddenly said nonchalantly:

"...Is there a way to know which prison Xuanren is in?"

"A Yi...you don't want to go to jail, do you?"

"I don't want to do such a radical thing when I am not a last resort. I just want to see if I can sneak into the prison in Kyoto and secretly go to see Xuanren."

"Is there anyone who can tell me where the prisons in Kyoto are..."

As soon as this whisper fell, the face of Hasegawa Heizo suddenly appeared in Ogata's mind.

Hasegawa Hei hides as the chief of Hosuke Thief Kai. Although his base camp is in Edo, he may still know where the prisons in Kyoto are.

But Hasegawa Heizo's righteous face just appeared on Ogata's, and Ogaki shook his head vigorously, shook Hasegawa's face out of his mind.

For the time being, Ogata didn't know where Hasegawa was in Kyoto, but he found Hasegawa, and Ogata didn't think that Hasegawa would tell him the exact location of each prison in Kyoto.

Just as Ogata was thinking about whether there was any way to get the specific addresses of the prisons in Kyoto, Amachi, who had just been thinking about it, suddenly said at this time:

"...Go and ask Master Wind Demon? Master Wind Demon might know the specific locations of each prison in Kyoto."

"Master Fengma?" Ah Ting suddenly spit out the name of a stranger, causing Ogata to frown slightly.

"A Yi, do you know Wind Demon Kotaro?"

"To be honest-I just heard the name, but I don't know much about it."

"In the Warring States period more than two hundred years ago, there used to be five great ninjas-Iga no Sato, Koka no Sato, Wind Demon Sato, Togakura Sato, and Ten Thousand Years Sato." Amachi whispered. , "The Wind Demon Kotaro is the leader of the Wind Demon House."

"The name Wind Demon Kotaro is actually a title passed down from generation to generation by every leader of the Wind Demon."

"As long as you become the leader of the Wind Demon, you will become the new Wind Demon Kotaro."

"This is very similar to our Shiranui."

"Our leader in Shiranui also has a title that has been passed down from generation to generation-Flame Demon."

"As long as we can become our new leader in Shiranui, we can become the new flame demon."

"Our current leader in Shiranui is the 12th-generation Eye Balrog."

"After the title of Fengma Kotaro was passed on to the 5th generation, the Fengma Party was wiped out due to the destruction of the Hojo family, the main home of the Fengma."

"Finally, under the accusation of other ninjas, the Wind Demon Party was arrested by the Edo Shogunate and all executed."

"But the Wind and Demons party did not perish."

"Although in that large-scale capture operation, most of the ninjas in the Wind Demon including the 5th generation Wind Demon Kotaro were captured and executed."

"But a few ninjas in the Wind Demon have escaped that capture."

"And the Wind Demon Party has survived because of this..."

"I have survived until..."

Ah Ding raised his finger to the ground under his feet.

"right now."

"The title of Wind Demon Kotaro has been passed down to the 17th generation."

"The 17th generation Kazuma Kotaro now lives in Kyoto in seclusion."

"The 17th-generation Fuuma Kotaro has lived in Kyoto for a long time. He might know where the various prisons in Kyoto are."

"A Yi, if you want to meet Master Wind Demon, I can recommend it for you."

"Huh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows. "Amachi, do you know the 17th Fudema Kotaro?"

"Yeah." A look of remembrance flashed across Ah Ding's face, "About 10 years ago, due to various chances and coincidences, Master Feng Demon and my father had some friendship."

"It is thanks to the friendship between Master Wind Demon and my father that I and Master Wind Demon know each other."

"Just... I don't know if Master Wind Demon remembers me."

Speaking of this, Ah Ding's face was a bit bitter.

"Master Wind Demon... he should be 72 years old this year, and he has already reached an age that is not surprising when he becomes old and confused..."

...

...

Inside a sushi restaurant in Luozhong, Kyoto.

This is a sushi restaurant with beautifully decorated interiors.

Because it is no longer a meal, there are very few customers in the store.

Although it is no longer a meal, some guests will come from time to time.

For example-just now, four people dressed as samurai opened the curtains of the store, stepped into the store, and found a place to sit down at will.

"Guest! Welcome!"

As soon as the four samurai-dressed guests took their seats, a waiter immediately chanted "Welcome" warmly while handing over four menus to the four guests.

After passing the four menus to the four samurai, the waiter keenly discovered that among the four samurai, it seemed that the one who was the shortest and the most delicate was honored.

The other three samurai randomly looked at the menu in their hands, and they all focused on the shortest samurai.

The shortest samurai glanced at the menu in his hand casually, then returned the menu to the waiter and said:

"All the sushi on the menu has 2 servings."

This waiter has also seen many customers who directly threatened to put all the sushi on the menu.

This sushi restaurant is considered to be a relatively high-end restaurant in the whole of Kyoto, and the people who patronize this sushi restaurant are not ordinary people. Such proud customers are not uncommon in this restaurant.

After reverently saying "I understand", the waiter took back all the 4 menus handed to the 4 samurai, and then quickly left and went to the kitchen to greet the sushi chefs to start work.

After the waiter left, the shortest samurai said seriously to the other three samurai in front of him:

"Everyone is full. Maybe I will be busy next."

As soon as the words of the short samurai fell, the other three samurai immediately said in unison:

"Yes!"

This short samurai was Kinoshita Lin.

And the three samurai sitting in front of Lin, it is Makimura, Asai, and Shimada who accompanied Lin to Kyoto.

Although the departure time was 3 days later than Ogata, Lin and the others arrived in Kyoto less than half a day later than Ogata.

Ogata arrived in Kyoto today—that is, on the morning of July 17.

And Lin and his party arrived in Kyoto just now—that is, in the afternoon.

After passing through the Seven Gates of Jingzhi and entering Luozhong just now, Lin and the others went straight to the hotel and put down their luggage.

After putting down the luggage, Lin announced their first task after coming to Kyoto: finding a restaurant with delicious food to fill up their stomachs.

The time when Lin and the others arrived in Kyoto, converted into the Earth's time algorithm, was already around 14:00 and nearly 15:00 in the afternoon.

They haven't eaten lunch until now, and they are all hungry.

While waiting for the sushi to be served, Shimada Chao Lin asked:

"Lord, shall we leave immediately after lunch to find the pair of masters and apprentices Heshi and Hezhi?"

"Yes." Lin nodded softly.

To make things easier, Lin is now dressed as a men's.

The hair that is long with the chin is now braided into a beautiful bun. He is dressed in a crimson kimono and white hakama. From the outside, he is just a beautiful young man with a delicate appearance.

"...Can the Wind Demon Kotaro really help us find the pair of masters and disciples, Kazue and Kazuo?" Shimada couldn't help asking Chao Lin like this.

When leading the three Maki villages to Luo, Lin informed the Maki villages of her plan on the way to Kyoto. After arriving in Kyoto, she went directly to the 17th-generation Fengma Kotaro who is currently living in seclusion in Kyoto.

"Master Fengmao has lived in Kyoto for nearly 40 years." Lin said softly, "I am afraid that the understanding of Kyoto is deeper than those of those who have lived in Kyoto since childhood, than those of Kyoto Sojidai and Kyoto Town."

"If you want to find someone in Kyoto, or ask about Kyoto-related matters, it is most useful to ask Master Fengmo."

"If Master Wind Demon can't provide us with useful clues, then wait until then."

"...I can't believe it until now." Shimada murmured, "Unexpectedly, the Wind Demon Party still exists. The Wind Demon Kotaro has been passed down to the 17th generation..."

Among Lin's group, Shimada was the only one who didn't know that the Wind Demons still existed.

So when Lin learned from Lin that the Wind Demon Party still existed, and that the Wind Demon Kotaro had been passed on to the 17th generation, Shimada's chin was about to fall to the ground in shock.

"Then wait for you to see Master Wind Demon, Shimada, remember to look more." Makimura said in a half-joking tone at this time, "The Wind Demon Kotaro you see later will be the last Wind Demon Kotaro."

"Eh?" Shimada was surprised, "What do you mean."

"Although the Wind Demon Party managed to survive the siege of the shogunate two hundred years ago." At this time, Asai replied, "But the Wind Demon Party has been living very hard for two hundred years."

"It's really just staying alive all the time."

"When the 17th generation of Wind Demon Kotaro took office 40 years ago, there were fewer than 10 members of the Wind Demon party."

"And 10 years ago, the current Master Wind Demon gave his last order as the leader of the Wind Demon Party: to completely dissolve the Wind Demon."

"Uncle Feng has some friendship with the current Wind Demon Kotaro." Now Huan Lin said softly, "Thanks to Uncle Feng, I have had several connections with Master Feng Demon."

"Master Wind Demon, he has told me and Uncle Gong more than once-he does not plan to rebuild the place of Wind Demon, nor does he intend to pass the ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation to others."

"'Situ let the history of Wind Demon no Sato and Wind Demon Kotaro end on me"-these are the original words that Master Feng Demon once said to me and Uncle Gong."

"Does he hate Fengma no Sato and being a ninja...?" Shimada asked.

"...Katsurokuro, do you know how the other ninjas of the Wind Demon party reacted when Master Wind Demon announced that they would disband the other ninjas of the Wind Demon party 40 years ago?"

"Um... very sad?" Shimada asked in a tentative tone.

"Wrong. When Master Wind Demon announced the disbandment of Wind Demon, the rest of the ninjas of the Wind Demon party were so happy they were about to cry."

Speaking of this, Lin paused.

After being silent for a while, he said again.

But when she uttered again, Lin's tone became a little bit more disappointed and sentimental.

"In the past two hundred years, the descendants of the Wind Demon Party... must have been suffering..."

"It's like carrying a big rock all the time..."

After that, Lin paused again.

Lin paused this time to sort out her emotions.

After finishing her emotions, Lin's expression and tone changed back to her usual state-there was no expression on her face and her tone was cold.

"Katsurokuro." Lin continued, "Although what Mihachi said just now has some truth, the wind demon lord we will see later will be the last wind demon Kotaro in history. You can take advantage of this precious opportunity. , Look at Master Wind Demon more, or talk to Master Wind Demon more often."

"But remember to be polite. Don't do anything that will annoy Master Wind Demon."

"The current Fengma Kotaro is not only the last Fengma Kotaro, but also the strongest Fengma Kotaro in history."

"The most...strong...?" Shimada spit out the word Lin just said.

"This is what Uncle Gong said to me personally. He praised that the current Fengma Kotaro is definitely the strongest Fengma Kotaro in history."

"Uncle Gong even told me personally-in his heyday, he was not sure of victory over Master Fengmo in his heyday."

"Is that amazing..." Shimada swallowed.

"It's very powerful. According to Uncle Gong, Master Feng Mo has experienced unimaginable penance in his youth before he reached such a height."

"Katsurokuro, let me tell you another legendary deed related to Master Wind Demon~www.wuxiahere.com~ 10 years ago, Shiranui and Wind Demon suddenly broke out in an all-out confrontation."

"I don't know the reason for the outbreak."

"In the Wind Demon at that time, all the ninjas including Master Wind Demon, there were only less than 10 people left."

"Although I don't know how many ninjas were in Shiranui at that time, they definitely had more ninjas than in Wind Demon."

"The number of people is very different. This is supposed to be a defeated war in the wind and devil."

"But in the end, the war ended in a defeat by being killed in Shiranui."

"Master Fengmo drove into Shiranui alone, and turned the world upside down in Shiranui, and retreated all over his body in the end."

"Although Lord Wind Demon was able to retreat with his whole body in the end, a large part of the reason was because of Uncle's help, and at that time, most of the main force in Shiranui happened to be absent, and Lord Wind Demon successfully broke through the empty door."

"But even so, the horror of Master Wind Demon's strength is still evident."

"After the war ended, under the auspices of Uncle Gong, Shiranuili and Fengmazhizhi signed a peace agreement. Since then, the two sides have not violated the river."

"Of course-this is already 10 years ago."

"Now 10 years have passed, and Master Wind Demon is now 72 years old."

Speaking of this, Lin sighed lightly.

"I don't know how much success is left in the 72-year-old Master Fengmo..."

"...Maybe you don't even have the strength to hold the knife." Mucun, who was sitting across from Lin, added in a half-joking tone.

Lin did not refute these words from Mucun.

He only nodded slightly, agreeing with Mucun's words just now.
