I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

"Huh? Xiaolin?" Yuanyi raised her eyebrows, "Why did you come out?"

"Well, my head is not so dizzy today, so I plan to go out and walk, blow the hair, and bask in the sun. I have been staying in the room all these hours, and I can't stand it anymore."

Sitting carelessly beside Yuanyi, Lin continued.

"I thought you guys were gathering together, and you were definitely talking about some of them. I didn't expect you to be talking about such a serious thing as the'Yaksha Realm' in Shiranui."

"As of just now, we were actually talking about something," Yuan Yi said in a half-joking tone, "It's just that when you came over, we just happened to be talking about serious things."

"We talked about the battle of Brother Ogata at Nijo Castle in Kyoto." Makimura said, "When we talked, we talked about the "Yasha Realm" in Shiranui."

"So..." Lin whispered softly, "...I really want to see with my own eyes this'Yaksha State' which can compete with the'Self-Free State'......"

"There is a big difference between the'Yaksha Realm' and the'Selfless Realm'." Ogata added on the side, "The'Yaksha Realm' seems to simply greatly improve human power, speed and other abilities."

After listening to Ogata's supplement, Lin fell silent.

After a long silence, Lin suddenly asked Ogata abruptly:

"...Ogata Ichitosai. How did you enter the'Selfless Realm' when you were in Nijo Castle, Kyoto?"

"Huh?" Because Lin asked this question really suddenly, Ogata was taken aback when he heard Lin's question.

After seeing Lin cast a serious look at him and realizing that Lin was asking him this question in a very serious manner, Ogata thought for a while, organized the words, and said seriously:

"The reason why I was able to enter the ‘Selfless Realm’... should only be regarded as pure luck."

"Using the breath of the source, the enemy's arrogant attitude made me angry, and I was thinking of winning... and then I entered the'no-self state'."

Ogata explained to Lin how he had entered the "Selfless Realm" at that time.

After listening carefully to Ogata's recount, Lin nodded slightly with no expression on her face: "So..."

Although Lin had concealed it well, there was still a faint frustration flashing in her eyes.

"...Xiao Lin." Yuan Yi interrupted suddenly, "you don't need to be impatient."

"You are still gifted in the cultivation of Source's Breath."

"As long as you continue to work hard to cultivate, one day you will be able to enter the ‘selfless state’."

"With your talent, it should be no problem to reach the second realm of Source's Breath."

"The second realm?" Doubt appeared on Ogata's face.

"Oh, yes. I didn't seem to have told you about this to Ogata-kun. Although this is not a very important thing."

Genichi sat up a little straighter.

"I divided the state I entered during the process of cultivating the breath of the source to the peak into three realms."

"When I was 24, I created the breath of the source and the two-sword style of the selflessness."

"In this period, can I enter the ‘Selfless Realm’ after using the breath of the source... Simply put, I can only follow the fate, and cannot be controlled by my own will at all."

"I named the breath of the source of this period the first realm."

"I practiced in this way for 3 years, and when I was 27 years old, I finally managed to train Yuanzhi's breath to a new level."

"In this period, I can automatically enter the "Selfless Realm" after maintaining the breathing state of the source for less than a quarter of an hour."

"I named the breath of the source of this period the second realm."

"Then I continue to practice."

"Always... I practiced for a full 27 years. It wasn't until 10 years ago, when I was 54 years old, that I finally managed to reach the third realm of the breath of the source, which is the highest realm-I can freely enter the'no-self' realm'."

"If you want to reach the highest realm where you can freely enter the'Selfless Realm,' then you will definitely have to walk the path I have traveled again."

"This is a very difficult road."

Speaking of this, Genichi let out a few chuckles.

"From the first realm to the second realm, it took me 3 years."

"It took me 27 years from the second realm to the highest realm."

Ogata has been quietly listening to Genichi's narration.

After Genichi's narration fell, Ogata secretly said in his heart:

——The three realms that Yuanyi said correspond to elementary to advanced, master, and grandmaster...

The three-fold realm of Genichi's breath that Genichi just described is completely in line with the level defined by the system.

The first realm that cannot be controlled by one's own will corresponds to the elementary to advanced level of the breath of the source.

It takes about 10 minutes to enter the second realm of "Selfless Realm", which corresponds to the master level of the breath of the source.

The third realm where you can freely enter the "Selfless Realm" corresponds to the Grandmaster level of the breath of the source.

"Xiao Lin, Ogata-kun! You two work hard!"

"Whether you can reach the highest level of Breath of Source depends on chance, but with your talents, reaching the second level should not be a problem!"

Hearing this encouragement from Yuanyi, Lin's face showed a faint excitement. While nodding her head vigorously, she said loudly, "I will definitely!"

As for Ogata...

When he heard Genichi's words to encourage him to attack the second realm, his expression became weird.

Ogata raised the glass in time, took a sip of the wine, and covered his odd-looking face with the glass and his hand.

"Actually, it's amazing that the lord and brother Ogata can learn the breath of the source."

Mucun suddenly interjected at this moment.

"A few of us are the kind of people who can't learn Source Breath."

"Huh? Have you also learned Gen's Breath?" Ogata asked.

Lin on the side nodded.

"They are my subordinates, and I hope my subordinates can get stronger and stronger."

"So after Kuro and the others joined my gourd house, I personally taught them the breath of origin."

"It's a pity that everyone except Kuro hasn't learned the breath of the source."

"This source of breathing is too difficult!" Makimura said grimly, "Fighting people while maintaining that weird breathing rhythm? It's really too difficult!"

"So the learning of this breathing technique also depends on talent." Yuan Yi said.

"Does Mamiya also breathe?" Ogata raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Lin nodded softly:

"He will. It's just—he doesn't use it often."

"Master. Sorry, I interrupted your conversation."

At this moment, Mamiya's voice suddenly intervened.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the back of Mamiya, who was playing with sails. Mamiya continued with a calm tone:

"May I trouble you to wake Asai and the others? Edo—is close in front of you. We are about to disembark."

...

...

Ogata and the others did not choose to stop at the port of Edo.

If you choose to dock at the port of Edo, if you are caught by the officials of Edo, the officials of Edo will definitely investigate this strange ship of unknown origin.

In order to avoid trouble, Ogata and the others chose to land on an unmanned shoal quite close to Edo.

After Ogata disembarked with Amachi on his back, Amachi exhaled:

"It's the most comfortable standing on land..."

"Master." The pastoral village who was in charge of carrying Lin turned his head and asked Lin behind him, "What about this ship?"

"I don't have the time to dispose of this ship slowly." Lin, who is still unable to walk like Acho, lay on the back of Makimura and said without hesitation, "Just throw this ship here."

After all, Lin turned her head and looked at the others beside her.

"Everyone hasn't missed anything, right?"

Ogata and others shook their heads.

Everyone is now neatly dressed, and everyone wears a hat that can effectively shield the blazing sun.

It is obviously already October, but the weather is still hot enough to make people wonder if they are still in the hot summer.

In order to avoid heat stroke, Ogata and the others each took a hat to escape the heat before they set off.

The edges of their hats are very wide, and they only need to lower their heads to cover their faces with the hats. So in addition to avoiding the heat, their hats also have the ability to hide their face.

When Ogata and the others landed on an uninhabited shoal near Edo, they had to walk a little longer to enter Edo Castle.

Before leaving, Ogata turned his head and glanced at his face through the sea.

Under the hat above his head, there was a plain face that passersby would never remember after seeing it.

At this time, Ogata had already put on the human skin mask.

From the outside, he was just an unremarkable ronin at this time, rather than the now fiercely famous "human beings."

"After you enter Edo Castle later, don't you call my name wrong."

Ogata spoke to Amachi behind him in a half-joking tone.

"The current me is not the heir of the Sakurahara Kichitoru and the No-Self Ichitozai, but the heir of the Gumu Ichitoru-Mashima Goro."

...

...

When disembarking from the ship, Ogata took a special look at the position of the sun.

According to Ogata's estimation-when they disembarked and landed, it was about 15 o'clock in the afternoon.

After entering Edo Castle, it was dusk when the sun was setting, and the faint sunlight dyed the sky yellowish.

After entering the city, the sky was completely dark.

Although the sky was dark, the twilight did not let the largest city in Japan lose its vitality.

"Okay, amazing!" Amachi, who was lying on Ogata's back, looked around with shocked eyes.

Ogata and others are now walking on an unknown avenue in Edo.

Even if it is night, there are not few pedestrians on the street.

Looking up, there are lights for pedestrians and lighting everywhere.

The brilliant lights of the stars, the row upon row of shops and houses, the endless stream of people, the various accents echoing in the ears... everything in front of my eyes and ears proudly announces to Ogata and others the prosperity of the first city in Japan.

Amachi, who came to Edo for the first time, is now like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The same person who looked like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, as well as Mucun and Asai.

Although Makimura was born in Kyoto, one of the three major capitals of Japan, the prosperity of Kyoto and the prosperity of Edo are simply not comparable.

Even Kyoto, which has not been devastated by the Great Fire, is far less prosperous than Edo.

The only people who had a relatively flat reaction were Rin, Genichi, Mamiya, Shimada, who was originally from Edo, and Ogata.

Although Ogata is also the first time in Edo, he is also a traverser from the modern earth.

No matter how prosperous Edo is, it can't compare to the true "city that never sleeps" on the modern earth.

However-even though the prosperity of Edo did not surprise Ogata too much, Ogata looked around with curious eyes.

At this moment, Ogata suddenly thought-it is now October in the second year of Kansei (1790).

It was around this time last year that he left the Hirose clan and became a renegade survivor.

During this full year of wandering, Ogata has been to many places, from the Izumo Hirose clan in western Japan, all the way to Kyoto in Kansai, and then from Kyoto in Kansai to Kanto. Of Edo.

After going to so many places, no place is more prosperous than Edo.

In terms of prosperity alone, Edo is worthy of being the center of Japan in this era.

Lin, Genichi, Mamiya, and Shimada were accustomed to this prosperous scene, and they just silently followed the flow of people.

At this moment-Yuanyi, who was walking at the end, suddenly condensed his eyes and his pupils shrank slightly.

After staring at the crowd in front of him for a while, Yuanyi silently raised his hand and slightly lowered the hat on top of his head and buried his head, covering his face with the generous edge of the hat.

While lowering the hat on his head, Genichi used an imperceptible small gesture to pull down the Haori that was draped on his body, and covered the saber inserted in his left waist with Haori, and at the same time quietly walked to the side of Maki Village and hid On the side of his body that was much taller than him in the pastoral village.

Xiang Ogata and the others came to face each other, a group of majestic warriors.

The head of this group of majestic warriors is a little old, and looks like he should be around 50 years old, shaved neatly and cleanly.

Although he was old, this old samurai still looked vigorous, and he didn't look like an old man in his 50s at all.

Meeting samurai in the streets of Edo was just a common occurrence. Ogata and others only regarded this group of people as ordinary passers-by and didn't care about this group of samurai.

On the other hand, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and the group of samurai would not care about Ogata and others who just passed them by.

After brushing shoulders with the group of samurai, Genichi raised the hat that was lowered just now, then turned his head and looked back, looking at the group of samurai who had just passed by.

To be precise, it was looking at the old samurai who was headed by the group of samurai.

After taking a meaningful look at the old samurai, Genichi slowly retracted his gaze, and continued to follow Ogata and others, following the flow of people to the front of the street.

As soon as Yuan Yi took his eyes away--

Old samurai: "?!!!"

The old warrior's face suddenly changed, he quickly stopped his feet, then suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

His eyes swept around, seeming to be looking for something.

The rest of the warriors who followed the old warrior stopped one after another, and then cast suspicious eyes on the old warrior.

"Master Nagano, what's the matter?" asked a young samurai who was closest to the old samurai and was next to the old samurai.

"...It seemed that someone was watching us just now." The old samurai who was called Nagano said solemnly.

"Looking at us? This... Lord Nagano, there are so many people here. Some passers-by see that we are crowded or the knife on our waist is beautiful, so they turn back and take a look at us. Isn't this normal? "

Nagano ignored the words of his subordinates.

Just moving my gaze, I carefully scanned the scene in front of me again,

After finding that I could only see ordinary faces or the back of his head, he said to himself:

"...Is it an illusion..."

After all, Nagano subconsciously lifted the saber around his waist, and then continued to lead the men behind him and walked forward.
