I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

——Has it been upgraded!

After the sound of the system fell, Xuyi pulled up Shimada on the ground, and couldn't wait to open his personal system interface, ready to add more.

Ogata intends to accomplish two small goals before leaving for Edo.

The first small goal: to upgrade the circulation in the second knife stream to "master level".

The second small goal: to train the Two Blades of Selflessness to level 10. With the 6 exclusive skill points and 2 skills obtained from the leveling up, the breath of the source will be upgraded to the "grand master level".

In the personal system interface, after clicking on the small question mark behind the transfer of this martial skill, the three prerequisites that must be fulfilled to master the transfer of "master level" can be displayed:

One: Master the "master-level" countermeasures.

Two: The strength reaches 14 points.

Three: Agility up to 12 points.

The first point Ogata has already reached, and at this time he has mastered the "master-level" swordsman.

Only the second and third points have not yet been reached.

Ogata's strength is still 2 points, and his agility is 1 point.

So-in order to learn the transfer of "master level" as soon as possible, after opening his personal system interface, Ogata did not hesitate to add the 2 skill points obtained after upgrading "Shiranui Ninjutsu". In terms of strength, he increased his strength from 12 to 14 points.

【Ding! Strength +2】

[Current strength value: 14 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 0 points]

With the fall of this systemic sound, Ogata felt power emerge from all parts of his body, and the power contained in the various muscles of his body was instantly elevated.

After grasping his hands and simply feeling the power of the body that became more full, Ogata began to deal with the 3 "Shiranui Ninjutsu exclusive skill points".

Two of these three points should be used to upgrade the most practical "Shiranui Jiujitsu"-there is no doubt.

But the other point is to use it to upgrade the "Shiranui Stealth Art" or to unlock the "Shiranui Current Breath-holding Art"-this made Ogata a little bit difficult.

Shiranui Current Breath-holding technique, as the name suggests, is to cover up one's breath through various techniques, so that it is not easy for people to discover when oneself sneaks into a certain place.

This skill may be a very useful skill for ninjas who need to sneak into a place frequently like Amachi.

But for a samurai like Ogata, this breath-holding technique is a bit tasteless.

So after a few hesitations, Ogata decided to use this exclusive skill point to improve the "Shiranui Current Stealth Art" and upgrade the Stealth Art from "Basic" to "Intermediate".

Compared with breath holding technique, stealth technique is more practical for Ogata.

The mastery and improvement of stealth technique can improve Ogata's ability to move in various terrains. For example: on the roof of the house, on the top of the ceiling.

Previously in Kyoto, the usefulness of the "Shiranui Current Stealth Art" has been verified many times.

——Use 2 exclusive skill points to upgrade "Shiranui Jiu-Jitsu" to advanced level!

——Use 1 exclusive skill point to upgrade "Shiranui Stealth Art" to intermediate level!

As soon as the words in Ogata's heart fell, a series of systematic sounds immediately sounded in his mind:

【Ding! Consume 2 exclusive skill points, Shiranui Ninjutsu martial arts·Shiranui Jiu-Jitsu is promoted to "advanced" skill]

【Ding! Consume 2 exclusive skill points, Shiranui Ninjutsu martial arts· Shiranui Stealth is promoted to "Intermediate" skill]

[Current remaining skill points: 0 points]

After the sound of the system fell, Ogata moved the bones of his shoulders, and then said to Shimada who had just gotten up from the ground:

"Shimada, come. Let's continue."

Ogata intends to experiment a little bit with the power of Shiranui-ryu Jiu-Jitsu, which has been promoted to the "high level".

"Yeah! Good! Ogata-sama, be careful! The two games just now made me aware of some of my problems with the use of Tang Shou, and I have become better than before!"

Hearing Shimada's words, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

"Is it stronger than before...Come on, let me see how much stronger you are compared to before."

Ogata and Shimada once again opened their stance.

It was still Shimada who launched the attack first.

This time, Shimada chose to use kicking skills against Ogata.

Shimada's legs were like a black whip, attacking Ogata.

Looking at Shimada's kicked leg, Ogata raised his brows.

Ogata found that Shimada's sentence "I have become stronger than before" was not nonsense.

Compared with just now, Shimada's center of gravity is a little better.

Of course, it's just a little better, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Effortlessly, Shimada's attack was dodged. Ogata hugged Shimada's shoulders, and then used more sharp and fierce skills than the previous 3 matches to throw Shimada to the ground.

After throwing Shimada to the ground, Ogata immediately cried out "not good."

"Hey, Shimada, are you not hurt?" Ogata said anxiously.

"Hiss..." Shimada took a cold breath, sat up from the ground, and said to Ogata in a half-joking tone, "Master Ogata, you were so merciless just now..."

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't control my strength just now. Are you injured?"

Compared with the last 3 games, Ogata not only upgraded Shiranui Jiujitsu to "Advanced", but also increased his strength by 2 points, so he was not used to this "new body", so I didn't do well just now. With control, Shimada fell heavily.

"It's okay." Shimada got up again and patted the dust on his body. "Although I can't compare to senior Makimura, I'm the kind of thick-skinned person."

"But... is it my illusion? I always feel that the Jiu-Jitsu skills you just used, Ogata-senpai, are much sharper and smarter than the previous three times..."

——Yes, this is not your illusion.

Although he said so in his heart, Ogata still casually said perfunctorily:

"Well, it should be your illusion."

The honest and simple Shimada hasn't struggled with the question of "Did Ogata suddenly become stronger" for too long.

After getting up and patting the dust off his body, Shimada set up Tangshou's posture again.

"Come on, Lord Ogata, let's continue!"

"The practice of unarmed combat skills will end here first." As Ogata said, he walked slowly towards the wooden swords that Shimada had just brought, and then casually placed them on the edge of the open space.

"Next-let's practice this!" Ogata picked up 2 wooden wakams and 1 wooden wakazaki, and then threw one of them to Shimada.

"Practice swordsmanship?" Shimada grinned, "Okay! Then I would like to ask Mr. Ogata for advice!"

After throwing this knife to Shimada, Ogata held the two knives in his hands and set the starting position of the two swords without me, and opened his personal system interface to confirm the experience bar of the two swords of Sakakihara and the second sword.

【Sakihara One Sword Style: 10 levels (34555000)】

[Level of No-Self Two Sword Style: 9 levels (55208000)]

Sakurahara One Sword Range upgrade also has 1545 experience points.

There is still 2480 experience points in the distance upgrade of the second swordsman without me.

...

...

Ogata and Shimada conducted 7 swordsmanship competitions without stopping.

After the 7th game, Shimada hurriedly applied for a short break.

In fact, these 7 games can not be regarded as a competition, it should be regarded as "Shimada was unilaterally beaten".

Although Ogata has always been a little bit to the end, the wooden sword in his hand will inevitably hit Shimada's body.

I was defeated by Ogata 7 times in a row. There were so many bruises on my body. No matter how rough and thick, I felt pain. I could only apply for a timeout, take a short break, and relax. .

Seeing Shimada's application for a suspension, Ogata could only agree, and then sat on the edge of the court with Shimada.

Ogata, who was bored, asked Shimada casually:

"Shimada, Ms. Kinoshita said that she was not only going to prepare a ship to Edo, but also to meet some old customers and talk about future cooperation."

"What does this sentence mean? What old customer?"

When I heard Lin at the Buddhist hall this morning that she would stop by to meet some old customers, Ogata was always curious about the "old customers" Lin said.

"Ah, this." Shimada smiled, "My lord, the old customers in her mouth are actually those people who often buy rice with us."

"Master Ogata, you should also know-our gourd house is a rice merchant, right?"

Ogata nodded in response.

When they first met again in Choshima and Mamiya, Mamiya had introduced them to Ogata.

On the surface, it looks like a rice merchant who sells rice for a living, but in fact it has been secretly investigating the "immortality" organization-this sentence is the best introduction to the gourd house.

"The funds we usually use are earned by selling rice."

"Our lord has an extremely good talent in business."

A little pride appeared on Shimada's face at this time.

"The purchase and sale of rice-this matter has always been the sole responsibility of the lord."

"Yuan Yi Da Ren has an extremely wide range of contacts."

"Senior Mamiya can plan and keep accounts."

"The lord, she uses Yuanyi's personal network resources and Jian Gong's bookkeeping ability to match her business talent. Every year, she earns a lot of money."

"According to Senior Mamiya, who has been with the lord for the longest time, since the lord opened this gourd house, her money surplus has been growing at a jaw-dropping rate every year."

"Thanks to the lord's business talents, we have always been rich in Calabash House. Since I joined Calabash House until now, I have never seen our Calabash House lack of money."

Hearing this, Ogata suddenly remembered—Gourd House seemed to be really rich.

When I saw Mamiya for the first time, Mamiya had been spending money on a lavish state.

When leaving Kyoto with Lin and his group and heading to Owari, Lin also graciously expressed to Ogata and Amachi that they would bear the toll on the road for the two of them, but Lin’s bold move was rejected by Ogata. Up.

Ogata has not forgotten that his relationship with Amachi and Gourdiya is only an alliance, so Ogata does not want to owe Gourdiya too much, so he and Amachi eat and drink on the way from Kyoto to Owari. All the expenses on the site were paid by Ogata alone.

"Since your lord is going out this time, in addition to preparing for the ship to Edo, but also going to meet your old customers of the gourd house, wouldn't it take a lot of time?" Ogata asked.

"Probably not." Shimada shook his head. "The old customers that the lord wants to see should be the old customers from Owari, so they should be back soon... Ah, Mamiya. senior!"

Before Shimada had finished speaking, he suddenly yelled "Mamiya-senpai", and then shook his hands vigorously towards the northwest of the clearing.

Ogata looked towards the northwest-I saw Mamiya walking slowly toward this clearing from the northwest corner holding a wooden sword.

"Mamiya, why are you here?" Ogata asked.

"I have nothing to do, so I went to this place to practice swordsmanship." Mamiya smiled, "I am a frequent visitor to this open space. When I have time and mood, I will come here to practice swordsmanship. So are you two. Do you exercise here?"

"Yeah." Shimada smiled bitterly, "I've been practicing unarmed combat with Ogata-sama here just now."

"It was very badly beaten by Ogata-sama."

After all, Shimada stretched out his finger and tapped the bruise on his cheek.

"Being badly beaten means that you still have a lot of room for improvement." Mamiya said in a half-joking tone, "Go hard, Shimada."

Mamiya walked slowly to a corner of the open space, then assumed an extremely standard middle posture, and began to practice "Su Zhen".

Not long after starting his own practice in Mamiya, Ogata and Shimada, who were resting almost, began their competition again.

...

...

That night--

"Why is it a big pot again..." Ogata twitched at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, night has fallen.

At this moment, Ogata and everyone in the gourd house gathered in a small room in the temple.

At this moment, Ogata looked at the cauldron full of various foods on the floor with a black line on his face.

The wind was strong tonight, and it was not convenient to burn things under such strong wind, so everyone moved the place for dinner tonight to a certain room in the temple.

Ogata and Shimada have been practicing each other from morning until night falls.

At noon today, they ate a large pot of miscellaneous food.

The taste of the big miscellaneous pot is actually not very good. After all, it is a mixture of a lot of food and cooking, and because their gourd house is very rich, they usually eat a variety of foods, so many kinds of foods. Mixed together, so the smell is quite peculiar.

At noon today, I ate the big miscellaneous pot. Ogata didn't expect to eat the big miscellaneous pot tonight...

"No way. The lord is not at home." Asai, who was sitting next to the big pot, poured a pot of tofu into the pot, and said casually to Ogata, "Our usual food is the lord's responsibility. The lord is not at home. In order to save trouble, we usually eat junk pot."

"Are you all good at cooking?" Ogata asked five people in front of him, Genichi, Mamiya, Makimura, Shimada, and Asai.

"Among us, only Mamiya can cook." Makura replied for everyone. "But for some reason, Mamiya will not cook by himself when he is not necessary."

"For some reason?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, then turned his inquiring gaze to Mamiya on the side.

"Yeah. For some reasons, I actually don't like cooking that much." Mamiya gave a wry smile, "I don't know how to cook when it's not necessary."

"That's...it's a shame, Mamiya, your craftsmanship is pretty good."

When arriving at the gourd house last night, Ogata tasted the craftsmanship of Mamiya.

Although it is not so delicious that it is suspected to be the God of Cookery, it is also considered to be very good. The meals made by Mamiya are better than the food in many restaurants that Ogata has eaten so far.

When everyone was busy pouring food into the pot, Yuan Yi held the knife and sat down beside the pot with a big grin, sipping a bottle of things in that small mouth.

Because the bottle is brown and there is nothing attached to the outside of the bottle, it is impossible to see what the liquid is in the bottle.

"Ogata-kun." Genichi looked around and asked Ogata, "Where is the girl named Amachi you brought with you?"

"She's not coming to eat anymore." Ogata replied without hesitation. "She will be busy making her new weapons, so tonight, like noon, she will be closed in that room."

"Then what does she want to eat?" Mu Cun asked.

"There is still a lot of dry food that I bought on the way from Kyoto to Owari." Ogata said, "Amachi will eat these dry food."

"That means-tonight is the same as noon, only a few of us men are eating?" Yuan Yi moved his eyes and looked at the people in front of him.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "it should be."

"...Ogata-kun." Genichi's gaze at Ogata suddenly became a little more intriguing. "Would you like to drink something?"

After that, Yuan shook the bottle in his hand.

"Drink something? Okay." Ogata nodded without hesitating, "Gen one, what is in the bottle in your hand, is it alcohol?"

"It's oolong tea."

"Oolong tea? Well, oolong tea is also ok. I also like to drink tea. The source is a big person, give me some."

"Great!"

Genichi yelled boldly, picked up a clean cup at his feet, poured a full cup of brown liquid, and handed it to Ogata.

"Here, oolong tea!"

"Thank you."

After receiving the oolong tea from Genichi, Ogata found that the oolong tea was cold.

But Ogata didn't mind the warmth of the tea. After receiving the cool oolong tea from Yuanyi, Ogata handed the cup full of oolong tea to his lips.

Ogata, who was patronizing tea, didn't notice it--the surrounding Mamiya and others looked like they couldn't help but laugh...

The cup was handed to his lips, and the cup was tilted, and Ogata's lips touched the tea in the cup.

The moment his lips touched the tea in the cup, Ogata paused abruptly.

After pausing for several breaths, Xu Yan put down the cup in his hand expressionlessly.

Then he picked up a branch with a small flame at the bottom of the big pot in front of him, and stretched the branch with a small flame toward the cup of tea.

Bear!

The flame just touched the surface of the tea water, and the surface of the tea water immediately ignited a raging flame...

"...Yuan Yi Da Ren. Why can oolong tea light up?"

"Probably because of flammability."

"How can oolong tea be combustible!!"

Ogata almost glued the cup with an unknown brown liquid in his hand to Genichi's face.

Fortunately, in the end, rationality defeated sensibility, and Ogata forcefully resisted the urge to shake the cup with an unidentified liquid in his hand.

After Ogata's roar fell, Genichi and the others around burst into laughter.

"Sorry, sorry." Yuan laughed and waved his hand. "I just made a joke to you just now! This thing is actually a good wine made by myself! Because the color is very similar to oolong tea, so I They all call this wine of mine'oolong tea'."

"Please don't give such a misleading name to this wine that is strong enough to ignite..."

After that, Ogata cast his gaze on Mamiya and the others beside him, and said angrily:

"Since you guys know that the thing in my cup just now is not oolong tea at all, just remind me!"

"Sorry."

Asai apologized to Ogata in a tone without any apology.

"But we really want to see your reaction after discovering that oolong tea can be ignited, because everyone present has been punished by Yuan Da Ren's joke."

"Ichidao Zhai, you should be able to understand it? After falling into a certain pit, you are eager to see other people falling into that pit just like yourself."

"Okay! Everyone listen to me!" Yuanyi clapped his hands suddenly, "It is rare that Lin is not here tonight, so...I will wait after dinner~www.wuxiahere.com~ Everyone will help me to see mine. How is the latest work?"

Hearing this question from Genichi, the faces of everyone except Mamiya became weird.

"Yuan Yuan..." Mamiya said with a wry smile, "Have you finished your new work again?"

"My desire for creation is very strong recently!" Yuanyi smiled, "and after seeing the new painting commissioned by Asai to help me, I immediately had new inspiration, and the painting became my new work overnight!"

"Well, I don't have much to do tonight." Mamiya said, "It's true that you can help Yuan Yuan to see your new work."

After Mamiya said this, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada also agreed, saying that they could go and see Genichi's so-called "new work" later.

Only Ogata has a stunned look from beginning to end.

"What new work?" Ogata asked.

"Ogata-kun. I don't know if I told you before." Genichi smiled, "Painting is one of my greatest hobbies."

"In recent years, I have become obsessed with the kind of Ukiyo-e that specializes in painting men and women."

"So I have been trying to paint this kind of Ukiyo-e that specializes in men and women's affairs all these years!"

"I finished a new work last night!"

"How? Ogata-kun, do you want to take a look together?"

"Ukiyo-e that specifically describes men and women?" Ogata repeated the sentence that Genichi mentioned just now, and his face became weird.

Ukiyo-e-a unique national art born in Japan's Edo period. Mainly depict people's daily life, scenery and drama.

An important branch of Ukiyo-e is the kind of Ukiyo-e that specifically describes the affairs of men and women.

This kind of Ukiyo-e, which specifically describes the affairs of men and women, is, in popular terms, the small yellow pictures of this era...
