I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Mr. Goro. Have you finished reading my book?"

"I'm half done." Ogata said, "You really write these books very well. Simple and easy to read."

Today is the third day of sailing on a stowaway boat.

The days of crossing the sea are bound to be boring.

In the shaky cabin, and there are still so many "roommates" in the cabin, there are many things I can't do.

As for Amachi, she is prone to seasickness, so she basically lay down and sleeps or closed her eyes and rested her mind all day, so Ogata didn't even have a chat partner.

Therefore, in order to pass this boring time, Ogata spent the past three days reading the "Handbook of'Fortune Kin' Training" presented to him by Ogata to relieve his boredom.

It's okay if you don't read it, but you can see that this practice manual is really incredible.

Although the length of the book is short, there are only 6 pages in total, but the sentences are quite concise and the content is easy to understand.

This may also have something to do with the fact that "yunjin" is not that difficult to learn.

Although "luck" is based on the clever use of muscles to burst out strength, it sounds bluffing and difficult to learn at first, but in fact it is not that difficult to learn.

After using the system to master the elementary "yunjin", Ogata deeply realized that "yunjin" is a very typical kind of martial arts that is simple to get started, but needs to be continuously refined.

If a civilian told him that he had roughly learned "fortune" by reading this book, then Ogata would not be surprised.

A Zhu’s "Handbook for the Practice of'Fortune Power'" and Yuanyi's "Handbook for the Practice of'Two Swords without Me'" are completely different from each other.

If someone tells Ogata that he has learned the "two sword styles without me" only by reading this training manual of Genichi, then Ogata would like to call him "the world's first master of reading and comprehension".

Because Ogata always took out this practice manual and read it, he often attracted Azuki who was sitting near him.

Ogata’s frequent practice of taking out the practice manuals for reading may have caused Azuki to mistakenly believe that Ogata is very interested in "yunjin" and is studying hard. Therefore, from time to time, Azuki would come to ask Ogata "How did you read this book?" and "How did you learn'yunjin'".

It's probably because of boredom that Ah Zhu came to "stop in" so frequently.

She didn't seem to have a partner, she was alone. There is nothing to do except shrink in the corner.

Ogata also happens to be very boring, so he also welcomes Azuchi to "stop in" and pass the time with this.

Naturally, Ogata wouldn't tell her honestly: I actually have a preliminary grasp of "kindness".

After all, this is a bit too shocking, and it may scare this child. And afterwards, it was difficult to explain to the child how he mastered this "lucky energy" quickly.

So whenever Azuki came to ask Ogata "how is he watching" and "how is he practicing", Ogata would often fool the past by saying something casually like he does now.

Hearing Ogata said that he had half-read her book, Azuchi's face appeared a little surprised: "Half-read it, so as of now, is there anything I haven't read yet? "

"This book of yours is very well written, and all the content is written in an easy-to-understand manner. So now there is nothing incomprehensible." Ogata replied.

A Zhu nodded: "Then you will continue to watch slowly. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

After all, Ah Zhu patted her slightly plump breast given her height and age.

When meeting with Azuki for the first time, because Azuki was wearing a black robe that could cover her whole body, Ogata had not noticed this characteristic of Azuki's body.

But after three days of contact, Ogata gradually discovered that Azuchi and Amachi are quite similar, and the flesh on their bodies seems to be conscious, and the flesh is concentrated in two places.

Although the meat at Azhu's **** is not as much as that of Ading, it is not as thick as Ading, but it is far above the average of her age.

If you let Ogata make a vivid description-Amachi is difficult to grasp with one hand, and Azuchi can just be grasped with one hand.

When Ozuki's words fell, Ogata resisted the urge to show a strange expression.

Every time Azuki said, "You can ask her if you don't understand", Ogata has a strong urge to show a strange look on his face.

Because now, if he wants to, he can raise his "power of fortune" to a height that is difficult for Ah Zhu to reach.

But he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only tensed his expression, and then casually said something like "I understand" and "I understand" to fool the past.

"Well…"

At this time, lying beside Ogata, Amachi, who had been closing his eyes just now, suddenly let out a low painful moan.

"Amachi, what's the matter?" Ogata asked hurriedly.

"It's okay..." Ah Ding said, "It's just that I feel dizzy again."

"Do you need me to massage your scalp?"

"No need. It will be better after a while."

Azuki, who quietly listened to the conversation between the two of Ogata, said nonchalantly: "Mr. Goro, you have a very good relationship with your wife. A man like you who would actively ask his wife to massage his head is really too good. not enough."

In the past 3 days, every time Azuki came to ask Ogata "how is his'yunjin' learned", the two would briefly chat. Therefore, after going back and forth, Azuki also knew the relationship between Ogata and Amachi, as well as the identity of Ogata.

Of course, the identity of Ogata that Azuki knew was just the fake identity of the "Ezo merchant" compiled by Ogata Hu.

"After all, I have experienced a lot of things with Uchiko." Ogata smiled. "When I get back to God, I have developed a deep relationship."

"It's great..." Ah Zhu looked forward to his face, "I don't know if I can have such a long-standing husband..."

"It's a pity that I still have to travel around now... for a long time after that, I didn't have the leisure to get married..."

Speaking of this, a fleeting dark color flashed in Ah Zhu's eyes.

"Is this trip of yours such an important thing?" Ogata asked without a trace. "It makes you even want to get married."

"Yes." Azhu replied without hesitation. "To me now, travel is the most important thing. Everything else is trivial."

"What are you traveling for?" Ogata asked, "to see the beauty of the world?"

"Well..." Ah Zhu grinned, "Secret~~"

After three days of getting along, Ogata also got a little understanding of Azuki's character.

In a word-it is a kind of innocent and romantic atmosphere in both words and behavior.

To put it simply, she is a little girl with a little bit of childishness on her body.

This is probably also related to her age.

By the way: Over the past 3 days, Ogata asked about Azuki's age.

Azuki's age is exactly what Ogata guessed-he is 15 years old this year.

But she is obviously a little girl who is still childish, but she is very shrewd in some aspects.

After learning that the reason why Azuchi sold this "lucky power" at a low price was just to make up for the travel expenses, Ogata became a little curious about the purpose of Azuki's travel.

Is this child a descendant of Iga Ninja? Or is it just an ordinary civilian's daughter, but obtained this "Iga flow forbidden technique" under various circumstances?

This kid knows that this is the "Iga exile forbidden technique", but still sells it cheaply? Or does she really don't know that this is the "Iga flow forbidden technique"?

Why don't you hesitate to sell this martial arts school at a low price, but also to collect the travel expenses?

In fact, Ogata has asked directly or indirectly the reasons for Azuki's trip more than once. By the way, I also inquired about the background of Azhu several times, and wanted to confirm her relationship with Iga.

But they were all fooled by Ah Zhu.

When asked about the purpose of the trip, Ah Zhu was vague or just pretended to be stupid.

When I asked about my birthplace, I always said that I was the daughter of an ordinary businessman. In addition to emphasizing that she is the daughter of a businessman, she no longer talks about other things about her own family.

In the face of Ozuki's vague attitude towards these questions, Ogata is actually not annoyed-after all, he was just a momentary curiosity to ask.

Until now, Ogata actually didn't have much interest in Iga.

In the face of Azuki, Ogata has always positioned him as a "passenger in life who has no connection or meeting with her after getting off this ferry boat."

So even if the traveler in his life never answered his questions directly, Ogata didn't care much. At most, I feel a little regretful that my curiosity has not been satisfied.

…

…

"Would you like to get up and drink some water?"

"Um..." Ah Ding nodded softly.

Seeing Amachi nodded, Ogata supported Amachi to sit up, unscrewed the bamboo tube containing clear water, and filled Amachi with water little by little.

The moment now is just after noon.

There seems to be no other dry food on Azhu's body. For these 3 days, he has been relying on the dry food given to her by Ogata in the name of "buying her straw sandals instead of money" for a living.

I don't know if it was because A Zhu had little appetite, or because she deliberately controlled the consumption of dry food, she only ate a small piece of dried fish, then did not eat anything else, and began to fall asleep leaning against the corner.

Ah Zhu's sleeping face... In a nice way, it is heroic.

Leaning against the corner of the wall, his head raised, his mouth slightly opened, and a drop of crystal clear saliva was faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.

And faintly heard a low snoring sound coming from her nose and mouth.

Because Ah Zhu's sleeping appearance was so conspicuous, Ling Ah Ting couldn't help casting a weird look at him after drinking the water.

"It's really a shame that the kid can fall asleep in such a noisy environment..." Ah Ding said with emotion.

"Yes." After Ogata echoed, he turned to look not far away.

I saw many people in the middle of the cabin, three circles inside and three outside.

In the center of the circle, there is a samurai wearing a knife, neatly shaved Yuedai's head, and a conspicuous birthmark in the center of his head—he is one of the ship's guards.

The "birthmark warrior" was talking about something now, and the people around him were listening attentively.

Because the voice of the "birthmark samurai" was loud, the entire cabin became a little noisy, so Ah Ting felt that Ah Zhu could fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

The ship has a total of 8 guards, all of them samurai with sabers around their waists.

From time to time, the eight guards would take turns to stand and patrol the cabin to check whether there are illegal immigrants involved in things.

All smugglers, including Ogata, are probably most familiar with this samurai with a birthmark on his head.

Because this "birthmark samurai" is a talk. I love to tell everyone in the cabin of his previous heroic deeds.

Ogata had heard several "Lectures" of "Birthmark Samurai" because of his boredom. This "Birthmark Samurai" was a ronin who wandered around in the Ou area before. He mainly talked about the various things he experienced when he was a ronin.

And this "birthmark warrior" happened to be a very eloquent person, so many people would like to listen to the "birthmark warrior" tell his deeds.

At this moment, "Birthmark Warrior" is talking about his heroic past again.

"The swordsmanship I studied. The swordsmanship called'Innocent Flying Gulliu'. I wonder if you have heard of it."

The birthmark samurai imitated the tone of the storyteller.

The people who were listening to him around him showed doubts.

"This is a genre of swordsmanship that only spreads in a small area in the Dewa area."

"But just as there are often masters in the humble streets and alleys, there are often genres that are not well-known but very powerful in the swordsmanship genre."

"For example, the'Innocent Flying Gull Flow' I studied."

"The reason why it was named'Innocent Flying Gull Flow' is because of the secret sword created by the movement of seagulls to hunt on the sea surface-Gull Cut!"

"Like a seagull hunting, smash the sword down quickly and slash the enemy to death!"

"Because it is a secret sword, so in accordance with the rules of the division-only those who have obtained the permission of the ‘catalog’ can learn this trick."

Speaking of this, the birthmark samurai was proud. Then he stretched out his right thumb and compared it to himself.

"And I'm very fortunate to get permission from the sect's ‘catalog’ through my hard work, and get the qualification to learn this trick."

Exclamation and exclamation sounded from the surrounding observers.

"Then can you demonstrate to us? This secret sword of your martial art?" a young man asked boldly.

As soon as the young man said a word, the rest cast their curious eyes on the birthmark warrior.

Perhaps it was because of everyone's sight that the birthmark samurai was a little fluttering. The birthmark warrior cleared his throat after hesitating for a while:

"This is a master's skill. Generally speaking, it cannot be shown to outsiders casually."

"But since you want to see it so, let's show it to you."

Having said that, the birthmark samurai pulled out his saber around his waist, and then raised the sword in his palm in a slightly strange posture.

Because the voice of the birthmark samurai was so loud, Ogata couldn't even hear it.

After hearing that the birthmark samurai was going to demonstrate his so-called martial secret sword, whether Ogata or Amachi could not help but became a little interested, he turned his head to look at the birthmark samurai.

After the birthmark warrior raised his saber high in a weird posture, he kept taking deep breaths, accumulating strength, and after accumulating enough strength, he slashed the sword heavily into the air ahead.

In terms of his momentum, his scribbles are indeed quite sufficient, making the surrounding audiences who do not know how to know how to do it with shock and praise.

As for those knowledgeable...

"Heh..." Ogata showed a "just this?" expression, and then shook his head gently.

The birthmark samurai didn't notice Ogata, who was now showing the expression of "This is it?", he who had retracted his saber into its sheath, was now immersed in the shock and praise from the people around him.

But at this moment—

"Is this the secret sword of your so-called "Innocent Flying Gull Sect"? Such flashy tricks that have no practical value can be used as a secret sword. Then your "Native Flying Gull Sect" is probably not worthwhile. Mentioned the style of swordsmanship."

A cold voice sounded.

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone in the audience who was still awake was shocked—including Ogata.

Everyone focused on the owner of this voice-a beautiful young man with a very handsome appearance.

This beautiful boy is sitting far away from Ogata.

His appearance reminded Ogata of Asai—the kind of handsome boys who would not be surprised if Ogata was told that there were many men who favored many ways to take care of them.

Like Ogata, he didn't shave Tsukidai's head, but kept the total hair, but instead of putting it in a bun like Ogata, he tied the hair into a high ponytail behind his head.

I feel a little bit younger than Ogata, about 17 or 8 years old.

Next to this beautiful young man sat cross-legged an old man in his 60s. This old man is now pulling on the sleeves of the beautiful boy and whispering something to the beautiful boy, but the beautiful boy has always been unmoved. Looks like.

There is no doubt that the words of this beautiful boy just changed the face of the birthmark samurai.

"Hey, what did your kid say?" The birthmark samurai strode towards the beautiful boy with a sullen face.

"I just said-the so-called secret sword you just mentioned is just a flashy trick. Use this flashy trick as a so-called'secret sword', your'naive flying oval' must not be What a very popular school of swordsmanship." The beautiful boy repeated what he just said roughly without showing any weakness.

The expression of the birthmark warrior is now very exciting-the whole face has become pig liver color.

And this beautiful boy then continued:

"The so-called'Gull Cut' trick you just used is a fancy sword posture, and the attack you launched is empty. Such a trick has no practical value at all. It can only be used for performances and fool people who don't understand swordsmanship."

"If you use this trick of yours to confront a real master of swordsmanship, I am afraid that you will be slashed by someone before you have time to put on your fancy sword posture."

Hearing the beautiful boy accurately telling the flaws of the so-called secret sword of the birthmark samurai just now, Ogata couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then carefully looked at the beautiful boy a few times.

"Hey..." At this time, the beautiful young man sighed, "These so-called secret swords and absolute swords are really harmful. Their popularity is one of the important reasons for the decline of the current kendo..."

The words of the young boy just now pierced into the heart of the birthmark samurai like a needle.

The furious birthmark samurai's mouth opened and closed, as if thinking about vocabulary to argue with the beautiful boy.

But in the end—the birthmark samurai chose to put his hand on his waist saber.

"You bastard! A mere civilian, do you know what swordsmanship is? You dare to insult a samurai with cynicism! Look at me stab you!"

The birthmark samurai's act of drawing a sword scared many people around him.

Many people stopped between the birthmark samurai and the beautiful young man, to prevent the birthmark samurai from drawing his sword, and to persuade the birthmark samurai to calm down.

And Ogata also frowned at this time, ready to step forward to stop if something unexpected happens.

As for Ah Zhu—she was awakened by the noisy movement now, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, while looking around blankly.

As for the owner of this incident, the beautiful young man, still sitting silently on his knees, looks unmoved by the birthmark samurai who is now about to draw his sword.

Perhaps because he gradually calmed down, the birthmark samurai's face gradually improved.

After glaring at the beautiful young man with a bitter gaze, he gritted his teeth: "Boy, you have saved your life. If it wasn't for the boss's rule that you can't use swords and soldiers on this ship, otherwise I must be killed now. you."

After all, maybe it was because he was not in the mood to stay here anymore, the birthmark samurai flung his sleeves and strode out of the cabin.

With the departure of the birthmark warrior, the tense atmosphere in the cabin immediately disappeared.

Seeing that the incident ended peacefully, Ogata's brows slowly unfolded.

The audience who had originally listened to the story of the birthmark samurai either looked at each other or cast a strange look at the beautiful boy, and then dispersed one by one.

As for Ah Zhu-when she saw that the matter seemed to be over, she leaned her head back and fell asleep again, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth again.

"I almost thought I was going to fight..." Ah Ding mumbled.

"Me too." Ogata answered, "Fortunately, the matter was settled peacefully. Okay, shall we continue to do our things? Would you like to sleep for a while?"

Ogata only treated the incident as a small episode, and didn't pay much attention to it.

But at this moment, Ogata suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and a kindly greeting.

"Gui'an, one step."

Ogata raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look back.

The person who was walking towards him from behind him and greeted him was the beautiful young man who almost caused a big incident just now.

And the beautiful young man was following the old man who had just been sitting next to him.

Compared to the beautiful boy's face with kindness, the old man's face has a faint look of helplessness.

After the beautiful boy knelt down and sat on Ogata's side quite familiarly, Ogata calmly asked, "Are there any problems, please?"

The beautiful boy smiled slightly, and then lowered his voice: "One step...is it a samurai?"

Before Ogata could say anything, the boy went on to say:

"Before boarding the ship, I noticed your footwork-you walked, with your right foot shallow and your left foot deep."

"This is a footwork developed by people who always have heavy objects on their left waist."

A look of surprise and alert appeared uncontrollably in the depths of Ogata's eyes.

The beautiful boy seemed to notice the vigilant color in Ogata's eyes, so he said quickly:

"You don't need to be nervous at one step. You don't want to be any disadvantage to your step."

"There is nothing to hide from each other-just like under one's feet, he concealed his identity as a samurai in order to be able to board the ship smoothly."

The beautiful boy straightened his waist slightly.

"In the next color dragon horse."

"Ishiki Naoshu." The old man sitting beside the beautiful boy—that is, the old man beside Ishiki also bowed and introduced himself to Ogata.

Seeing that they all recognized his identity as a samurai, and frankly "blowed" his identity as a samurai, Ogata no longer pretended to be stupid:

"In Shimo Majima Goro. I don't know what the two of you took the liberty to visit."

"It's true." Yishi smiled. "After the samurai had just demonstrated his so-called secret sword, he noticed that he also showed a disdainful expression under his foot."

"Do you also think that the so-called secret sword of the samurai just now is useless?"

"...That's right." Ogata nodded, "Just like you just said. I also think that the samurai's trick just now is useless in actual combat."

Seeing Ogata say this, Isshiki's face slowly showed joy.

"That's right. The man's tricks just now are of no use in actual combat."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then asked seriously:

"Now, let me take the liberty to ask-what do you think of these so-called ‘secret swords’?"

Ogata looked up and down several times with puzzled eyes.

Although I don’t know why Isshiki suddenly asked this, this question is not a difficult or taboo question to answer, so Ogata answered honestly:

"I think all this ‘sword’ and that ‘sword’ should be eliminated in this era."

Ogata's voice fell, and the excitement on Isshiki's face became more intense.

"What I said in my step is very true. I think I am exactly the same as I thought in my step."

After speaking, Yishi sighed lightly.

"It's really rare to meet someone who thinks like me..."

"Since studying abroad, the more I study abroad, the more I feel shocked."

"This so-called secret sword, absolute sword, is really harmful."

"Since the opening of the Edo Shogunate, it is said that there have been more than 400 schools of swordsmanship alone."

"But the increasing number of sects has not allowed swordsmanship to flourish, on the contrary, swordsmanship has declined."

"Most of the sects are well-known and influential sects."

"The sharp increase in the number of sects is simply because too many samurai use swordsmanship to do mixed meals for the sake of mixed meals."

"Many sects just make some so-called ‘improvements’ to certain famous sects, such as Katori Shinto-ryu, and claim that they have created a new ‘new sect’.”

"In order not to let the disciples who depend on them for a living be snatched by people from other sects, I made up some fancy and unrealistic so-called secret swords and absolute swords to highlight the difference between my sect and other sects, and to deceive them. More people come to their sword hall to learn swords."

"Too many young people with potential in the first place have lost their lives because of learning these "liar swordsmanship"."

Isshiki slowly revealed an expression of resentment at this time.

"True swordsmanship should focus on one's own physique first, and then emphasize these skills."

"Whether it is swordsmanship, unarmed combat or spears, the most important thing is always one's own physique."

"If the enemy's power is stronger and faster than you, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how powerful the so-called'secret sword', UU reading www.uukanshu.com will be useless."

"Physique is the most important thing. Skills can only be used to their fullest power if they are built on a strong physique."

"So the swordsmanship that focuses not on physical fitness, but on skills, is not worth mentioning."

"Swordsmanship, which focuses on physical training, is the ‘true sword’."

Yishi spoke seriously about his understanding of swordsmanship.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that Ogata laughed lowly as if he was amused by some joke.

"One step," said puzzledly, "Excuse me, what were you laughing at?"

"That..." Ogata scratched his hair, "I laughed because I found out what you seem to misunderstand..."

"I just said that all the'swords' and those of the'swords' should be eliminated in this era. But it's not just those flashy secret swords and absolute swords."

"It also includes the'true sword' you just mentioned."

"Let me just put it in simpler words-I think all swordsmanship should almost be eliminated."

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, his expressions changed, regardless of his grandfather sitting next to him.

PS: After confirming the relationship with Ogata, Amachi became infinitely close to E. And Ah Zhu is probably C.

By the way-Guasheng and Lin are both against A, they are the truest figures of women in the Edo period.

In fact, Ah Ding is not too big. The author has seen I on V. It is not ugly at all at such a size, it is amazing.
