I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 695

Popular recommendation:

In a space that doesn’t look like a dream at all, and is extremely real, talking to another self-if he hadn’t experienced such a thing himself, Ogata would have thought that this kind of thing was a fantasy.

The scene of meeting another “self” and having a dialogue with him…Ogata feels that he will never forget it forever.

Combined with the information that Hatsumi had just revealed—Ogata assumed that at that time, he should have been almost unable to withstand the erosion of the “undead poison”…or rather the “immortal power”.

At that time, he had already passed out under the erosion of “immortal power”.

If… if he hadn’t woken up at that time, he would have died violently like the few cronies of Toyotomi Nobuhide mentioned by Hatsumi who had not survived the erosion of the “immortal power”.

Just when he was in a coma and was about to close his eyes forever, another “self” suddenly appeared.

“He” took Ogata to watch the past scenes, so that Ogata re-aroused his fighting spirit and determination, as well as the consciousness that was about to dissipate, and opened his eyes that had been closed due to the “power of immortality” again.

It can be said that without the help of “him”, Ogata would most likely not be able to reach the moment when he finally digested the “power of immortality”.

“That person”… As if to help Ogata, he “wake up” Ogata to appear at that moment.

Who is “that person”? Since Ogata woke up, this question has been lingering in his mind. .

If anyone is most likely to know the answer to this question… it would be the well-informed Genichi and Fuuma.

Therefore, Ogata decided to take advantage of this great opportunity when both Genichi and Fuuma happened to be present and no other unrelated outsiders were present, to ask the two of them a good question.

Who knows – he hasn’t explained in detail the cause and effect of his question, and he heard an unexpected answer from Feng Mo’s mouth.

“One is all, all is one?” Ogata couldn’t help but startled when he heard this sentence he had never heard of.

At this moment, Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows.

“One is all, all is one… How does this sentence sound familiar…”

“Because I told you before.” Feng Mo glanced at Yuan angrily, “I remember it very clearly, probably more than forty years ago, when we first traveled together, I put this Let me tell you a famous saying passed down from generation to generation in our Wind Demon.”

“Then you said to me: ‘Why do the ancients always like to come up with such riddles that they don’t know what they mean or what they are called?’”

“Oh, I remember.” Yuan Yi patted his forehead, “A long time ago, when we were all very young, you did tell me this sentence, because you didn’t know what this sentence was. What do you mean, so I turned around and forgot.”

“At first, when I heard you say that this famous saying passed down from generation to generation in our Fengmozhili is an inexplicable riddle, I was still angry, but when I turned around and thought about it later, I found that you did not seem to be wrong, this sentence is indeed It’s a puzzling riddle.”

After Yugenichi briefly laughed, Fuuma cast a serious look at Ogata.

“Ogata brother. Since you can ask such a question, shouldn’t you… have you tried talking to yourself?”

“…It’s the way it is.” Ogata told Genichi and Fengmo without any omission of what he had encountered in a deep voice.

From how I met another “self”, I talked carefully all the way to how I finally woke up when the other “self” shouted “draw the knife”.

The two famous listeners, Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, became more serious the more they listened.

After finally talking about the cause and effect of the incident, Ogata quickly asked:

“Lord Fengmo, what does the phrase ‘one is all, all is one’ mean? Have you experienced something similar?”

“I haven’t experienced anything like that.” Feng Mo raised his hand and scratched his shiny scalp, “Where should I start…”

Feng Mo raised his head slightly, as if thinking.

Ogata did not rush, and let Feng Mo slowly think and organize his words.

Feng Mo did not let Ogata wait for a long time.

After only half an hour, Feng Mo opened his lips and said slowly:

“In our Fengmozhi, there is a saying passed down from generation to generation – ‘Only by being recognized by another self and talking to him can you achieve the supreme state of a martial artist: one is all, all is one.’

“Whoever said this sentence and why it spread in our wind demons is completely impossible to test.”

“Although this sentence has been circulating in our wind and demons, no one knows what this sentence means.”

“I’ve tried researching the meaning of the phrase, trying to figure out what it means to be ‘approved by and in dialogue with another self’ and ‘one is all, all is one’.”

“I have looked through many classics, and I have asked many strong players who have achieved quite a lot in martial arts.”

“However, I rummaged through all the books I could find, and in the end I only found a passage that seems to be related to ‘one is all, all is one’ in the “Huayan Five Teachings” of the Huayan School of Buddhism – ‘All dharmas are related to each other’ In the door of freedom, all meanings are all in one, and everything is one, and it is harmonious and free without hindrance.

“You should know what Buddhist scriptures are, too. Buddhist scriptures are a collection of riddles.”

“This passage in “The Five Teachings of Huayan” is more difficult to understand than the famous saying in our Fengmozhili, so it has no reference at all.”

“The reading of the classics is fruitless, and asking people around is also fruitless.”

“No one knows what it means to ‘recognize and talk to another self’ and ‘one is all, all is one’.”

“When I mentioned this sentence to Yuan Yi, I was dismissed by Yuan Yi as ‘an unknown riddle’.”

“I’m not wrong.” Yuan Yi interjected coldly, “This sentence is indeed an incomprehensible riddle, without even a comment. So I turned around and completely forgot about this sentence. ”

“It was you who told me at the beginning: You will spend your whole life to achieve the ultimate swordsmanship that you can achieve, so I kindly told you this sentence that might help you reach the highest level of swordsmanship.” Feng Mo used He stared at Yuan Yi with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

“Hahaha.” Yuan Yi smiled freely, “To reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, it is interesting to use your own sword to slowly explore, and relying on others’ guidance is too boring.”

“Looking back and thinking about it now – the reason why I turned my head and forgot the phrase ‘one is all, all is one’, there is a considerable part of the reason, probably also because I don’t want to rely on other people’s guidance to achieve the highest The realm’s paranoid character is at work.”

Since the beginning, Ogata has been listening and digesting every word and sentence that Fuuma has just said.

He had just been looking forward to hearing the introduction of “one is all, all is one” from Feng Mo’s mouth.

But who knew that things backfired, and Feng Mo didn’t know what this sentence meant.

I hoped to be able to clear up the confusion after talking with Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, but I didn’t expect that the confusion was not solved, but it became more.

“Ah ah…” Ogata, who had an uncontrollable expression on his face, sighed softly and turned his eyes to Yuanichi, “Master Yuan, have you never experienced something similar?”

“No.” Yuan Yi shook his head directly, “I’ve never tried to talk to myself.”

Having said this, Yuan Yi put on a happy smile, and then continued:

“Ogata-kun, you really surprise me every time.”

“Unconsciously, you seem to have reached a state that I have never reached before.”

“It’s really terrifying!”

“In terms of swordsmanship, I’m still a long way off, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!”

There was no negative tone of yin and yang in Yuan Yi’s words.

In the tone, the tone, there is only the purest joy.

Especially when he said “I’m still far away”, Genichi showed a pure smile like a simple child.

Looking at Genichi’s smiling face, Ogata couldn’t help but smile.

“Whether I have reached a new level or not, I can’t be sure.” Ogata sighed lightly, “Maybe after tonight, I won’t be able to see another ‘me’ again.”

“It’s good to let it take its course.” Yuan Yi waved his hand, “Maybe it won’t be long before you can meet ‘him’ again.”

“If it is like tonight, I can meet ‘him’ again when I encounter a crisis of near death, then I hope that I will never meet ‘him’ again for the rest of my life.”

After saying this in a half-joking tone, Ogata bowed solemnly to Fuuma.

“Lord Fengmo, I am very grateful. Thanks to you, I no longer have any clues as to why I can see another ‘me’.”

Before Feng Mo could answer, Yuan Yi smiled and replied for Feng Mo:

“The ‘one is all, all is one’ of citrus fruit, you can use it as a reference.”

“After all, the value of this sentence is still up for debate.”

“There are quite a few riddles of this kind that have no meaning at all and feel like they are completely nonsense.”

“I remember that Kanshi seemed to have told me another riddle that they passed down from generation to generation in the Wind Demon, what is it called ‘Riding Thunder’?”

“‘Only when you reach the supreme realm, you can control the thunder and use the lightning strike method’.” Feng Mo said silently, “This sentence is also passed down from generation to generation in our Feng Mo.”

“Controlling thunder, the method of lightning strikes?” Ogata’s expression slowly became weird, “This… is it completely nonsense?”

This sentence is the same as the previous sentence “one is all, all is one”. I know every word, but after connecting it together, the whole sentence makes people feel very puzzling…

“Although I don’t want to admit it, I still have to agree – what Genichi said just now is right.” Feng Mo sighed and raised his hand to touch the forehead that has been reflecting the moonlight, “These are among our Feng Mo. If it is passed down from generation to generation, its content does feel like nonsense, and its value and correctness are open to question.”

“So Ogata brother, just take what I just said as a reference.”

Ogata nodded and was about to say “I know”—

“Ayi, what are you doing? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

A-cho’s voice and the footsteps of A-cho that he was already familiar with came from behind him.

“Ah, shit…” Ogata took a deep breath and turned his head quickly, only to see A-ting standing behind him with his hands on his hips, casting an unpleasant look at him. .

At this moment, Ogata finally remembered – he came to fetch water for A-cho…

“Sorry… Because I met Master Yuan and Master Fengmo in the courtyard, I couldn’t help chatting with them about martial arts.”

“I thought you fainted on the road…” In A-Ting’s eyes, a low mood flickered.

Although the depression in A-Machi’s eyes only flickered for a moment, it was still keenly captured by Ogata.

“…A-machi, don’t worry.” Ogata tried his best to show A-machi a soft smile, “I’ll be fine. You stand there and wait for a while, and I’ll fill the water right away.”

A-Ming: “Um…”

Ogata lowered his voice and whispered towards Genichi and Fuuma beside him:

“Master Yuan, Master Fumo, A-Ding is still waiting for me, so I’ll go first. When there is a chance, let’s talk in detail later.”

After all, Ogata threw the bucket that he had been holding in his hand into the well next to him.

While Ogata was concentrating on fetching water, Genichi by the side looked at Ogata with meaningful eyes, and then looked at A-cho who was standing not far away.

“…Ogata-kun.” Genichi whispered at a volume that only he, Ogata, and Fuuma could hear clearly, “Although you seem to be in good shape now, let me ask you—in After absorbing the ‘power of immortality’, did your body feel any discomfort?”

“Ha…” Ogata smiled wryly, “A-Machi just asked me the exact same question… Don’t worry, I’m fine. Except that my physical fitness and resilience have become much better than before, everything is business as usual.”

“That’s good…you have to pay more attention to Miss A-machi in the future.” Genichi raised his eyes again and glanced at A-machi, who was quietly waiting for Ogata to draw water, “My husband has absorbed people from unknown sources.” “The power of immortality”, I don’t know if there will be sequelae in the future or something else… Even if Miss A-Machi doesn’t say it, I can vaguely guess that she must be very worried about what accidents will happen to you in the future.”

“You should have found out, right? Miss A-Machi’s current mood.”

“…Who do you think I am? I’m Ogata-cho’s husband.”

…

…

Ogata, who had filled the water, walked side by side with A-cho back to the place where the two of them were just now.

“Wet this cloth for me and wring it dry.” A-cho sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up the gun barrel of Kasumi that had been removed.

“Okay.” Ogata knelt down beside A-cho, and according to A-cho’s instructions, threw the white cloth that A-cho had just handed him into a bucket to wet it, and then put it up and wrung it dry.

“Speaking of which – I haven’t thanked you yet.” Ogata handed the white cloth that was wrung out to A-cho, “Thank you for sending me the knife in time again.”

After speaking, Ogata glanced at Da Shitian and Da Zizai who were hanging on his left waist.

“A year ago, when I was on Die Island, a similar scene happened. You showed up in time with Da Shitian and Da Zizai and brought me a knife.”

“Thanks to our good luck.” A-Ming smiled slightly, “When attacking Longshui Temple, I found your knife at the enemy’s.”

“Thanks to that first light telling me where you were at that time.”

“At that time, when I heard Chuguang say that you were in the northwest of Osaka, my mind went ‘buzz’ and the whole thing went blank.”

“At first, I couldn’t believe Chu Guang’s words.”

“But after hearing Chuguang tell me with certainty that a large army is now gathering in the northwest of Osaka, I decided to use my dead horse as a live horse doctor. After discussing with Mr. Yuan and the others, I decided to I came to look for you with Mr. Yuan, Mamiya, and Makimura, who are still in relatively good condition.”

“Ah, I have to thank Mamiya.”

“I was in a hurry and rushed to the northwest of Osaka. I forgot to take your knife. It was Mamiya who reminded me that I remembered that you didn’t take your knife.”

“Ha, then it seems that I have to make a special trip to thank Shimoko and Mamiya later. There are so many people to thank tonight…” After saying that, Ogata slowly put on a serious tone. , “A-Ming, Master Yuyi…I was implicated by me…”

“I’m so sorry for him… He helped me repair the knife so perfectly, and I didn’t even have a chance to thank him in person…”

“A-cho, can you go with me to bury Master Yuyi properly?”

Ogata, who already knew what happened to A-Ming, Genichi, and the others tonight, naturally also knew that Yuichi, who helped him repair the sword, was implicated by him and suffered a disaster.

“Well…” A-ding nodded lightly, “Of course, that’s exactly what I mean.”

Afterwards, the two were silent.

A-cho concentrates on cleaning up his Kasumi and Ume-ran for Ogata.

And Ogata also sat silently by the side, giving A-Ming a shot.

Between the two of them, there is a peaceful atmosphere that only an old couple like them can have.

A-machi clears guns quickly.

In just a short while, Xia Nagi and Mei Ran became as new as ever under A-cho’s skillful hands.

“Okay.” A Ding’s upturned mouth had a faint look of satisfaction, “Well, take it. Next time, remember to be as careful as possible, and don’t let them fall into the water. If they fall into the water frequently, use Lifespan will be greatly shortened.”

“Oh, it’s been repaired so soon.” Ogata played with the repaired Kasumi and Meiran, “As expected of A-machi… It’s like new.”

“I’m tired of hearing this kind of flattery.” A-machi rolled his eyes at Ogata, “When you usually ask me to do laundry for you, you always use the phrase ‘As expected of A-machi’ to fool me…”

After Ogata laughed awkwardly, he silently took Xia Nagi and Mei Ran into his arms.

“I’m not flattering, I’m telling the truth… cough, cough.”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Fang suddenly coughed.

As soon as the coughing sounded, A-Ming’s complexion changed immediately, and he brought the nervous look close to Ogata.

“What’s wrong? Is there any discomfort?”

“I’m fine.” Ogata cleared his throat, “It’s just that I accidentally inhaled a few particles of relatively large dust just now.”

“That’s it… that’s good…” A-machi let out a sigh of relief.

Ogata had been silently observing A-cho’s expression just now.

His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw A-Ming’s overreaction because of his little cough.

“…A-machi.”

“Huh? Why… eh?”

A-cho looked at Ogata in surprise… who suddenly hugged her hands.

A-cho, who is only 155cm tall, naturally has very small hands.

Ogata’s pair of big hands easily embraced A-Machi’s pair of small hands.

Before A-cho could ask what Ogata was doing, he heard Ogata say softly:

“Sorry… A-cho, for making you so uneasy.”

With just one sentence, Obi-chan froze A-machi.

“I keep saying to you like this: I’ll be fine, and you shouldn’t feel at ease either.”

“After all, the ‘immortal power’ I got came from those monsters on Choji Island, not from strange pieces of meat like Toyotomi Nobuhide and Yoemon.”

“After digesting such ‘immortal power’, will there be any special sequelae in the future – there may be no one in the world who can answer this question.”

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

“I can understand your uneasiness~www.mtlnovel.com~ After these words fell, I saw A-Ming’s lips tightened slightly, and his eyes slowly turned red.

“I don’t know what else I can say to you to make you feel at ease under the current circumstances.”

“I can only assure you – no matter what happens in the future, I will try my best to live well.”

“Your guarantee can’t make me feel at ease…”

Even though A-Machi said that, after listening to Ogata’s promise just now, a smile appeared on her cheeks, showing a strange expression of both laughter and depression.

“…I’m so scared.” After bursting into laughter, A-ding slowly pursed his lips again and lowered his little head, “I’m so scared… Will the ‘immortal power’ in your body have? What side effects…I’m afraid I’ll wake up one morning and see you’re not breathing…”

A-cho’s words made Ogata both amused and moved.

This is something that only someone who cares about him and sincerely hopes for him to be safe can say.

He quietly tightened the palms of the pair of small hands that were holding A-Ming.

Let A-Machi feel the temperature of his palm more clearly.

“Brother Ogata! Miss A-machi!”

At this moment, Makimura’s shout suddenly sounded from a distance.

“The man among the two prisoners we caught before is finally willing to speak up!”
