I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"I have been here all the time."

Master Xianyuan's tone remained indifferent.

"I am here to prepare to complete the important task that Toyotomi-sama entrusted to me at all times."

"Kikutaro, I heard the sound of fighting outside clearly just now. You killed all the guards outside the ammunition depot, right?"

"You showed up here at this time, Kikutaro. The explosion in the No. B ammunition depot just now has something to do with you, right?"

Having said that, Master Xianyuan paused.

After a while, I heard him go on:

"If it were normal, I wouldn't let a traitor like you die so easily. I have to torture you to see if you were responsible for the explosion of the No. B ammunition depot, and find out what you wanted , Are there any other accomplices?"

"But now that the situation is special, I don't have the time to put you aside, and deal with you, a traitor, slowly afterward."

"Really, one more bullet."

After finishing speaking, Master Xianyuan put the short flintlock that had shot through Jutaro's belly just now into his cassock.

I saw his right hand fiddling in the cassock for a while.

When he finally stretched out his hand from the cassock, a brand new short flintlock appeared in his right hand.

Master Xianyuan didn't say anything more to Kikutaro.

He only silently raised the brand new, unfired short gun in his hand, aiming it at Kikutaro's chest.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Looking at the short blunderbuss in Master Xianyuan's hand that shone with a bright silver cold light, fear, like a wild beast out of control, spewed out from the face and pupils of Kikutaro, who could no longer move his body.

"Please, spare me, please spare me!"

Driven by the desire to survive, Kikutaro even spoke a lot more fluently.

"Master, you are a monk, aren't you? If you kill living beings, you will not be able to go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Bang!

Before Kikutaro could say a few words of begging for mercy, it exploded again like the sound of a cork popping out of a bottle.

Faced with Kikutaro's begging for mercy, Master Xianyuan pulled the trigger without any hesitation or hesitation.

The scorching bullet flew out from the barrel, piercing Kikutaro's chest.

Although Kikutaro's begging for mercy did not make Master Xianyuan hesitate for a moment, but it moved the old monk a little bit, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up because he was amused.

"Is it the pure land of bliss?"

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and with a strange smile on his face, Master Xianyuan slowly put down the short gun that was still smoking in his hand.

He said in a calm, neither hurried nor slow tone:

"Since I decided to live and die together with Lord Toyotomi, and vowed to establish a world where Buddhism spreads widely between heaven and earth, I have already made preparations to suffer endless torture in the [-]th hell after death."

After the gunshot fell and severe pain came from his chest, Kikutaro felt as if he couldn't breathe.

No matter how hard you inhale, you feel like you can't get air into your lungs.

He knew that his lungs should have been smashed.

After the stomach and intestines, the lungs were also smashed by the short gun. This is already in this era, and there is no cure for the injury.

A sense of unreality lingered in Kikutaro's mind.

He was still dreaming of absconding successfully just now, and then sold these few flintlock guns on the black market, in exchange for a bright future of huge wealth that cannot be used up for decades.

As a result, in just a short time, he was shot twice in the body and fell to the ground dying.

This huge gap, this too fast change made Kikutaro feel a sense of unreality, a feeling that he was floating in the clouds and dreaming.

The speed of strength loss has increased several times since the hole was opened in the chest.

Just now he could barely move his hands and feet, but now the only part that can barely move is his tongue.

If I didn't come here to steal the iron cannon, but just jumped into the sea and escaped, wouldn't I have incurred the consequences now?

I'm just trying to get some money away from this near-death business.

Kikutaro asked himself this in his heart.

Negative emotions such as fear, resentment, unwillingness, and regret swirled in Kikutaro's mind.

All these negative emotions eventually mixed into grief and indignation.

Driven by this grief and indignation, he raised his eyes and stared at the old monk in front of him who shattered his dream.

Grain

"To establish a world where Buddhism spreads widely between the heavens and the earth?" He tried to roll his tongue, and repeated the words that Master Bian Xianyuan said just now in a mocking tone.

Filled with grief and anger and having nowhere to vent, he concentrated the remaining strength in his body on his lips and tongue.

"it's so funny"

Kikutaro tried to pull up the corners of both sides of his mouth, pulling out a smile that was as full of sarcasm as possible.

"You may be just a consumable in the eyes of Toyotomi Nobuhide!"

"Bullshit spreading Buddhism! Help you support Buddhism after Toyotomi's world is rebuilt? You don't really believe what Toyotomi Nobuhide said?!"

"You tried your best to help Toyotomi Nobuhide and other Toyotomi Tianxia really rebuild Toyotomi Nobuhide, maybe you will be kicked aside immediately!"

"It is impossible for anyone with a little ambition to tolerate you Buddhists becoming bigger!"

"Do you think it is possible to return Japan to the peaceful world hundreds of years ago?!"

Note the world of peace: Japan's Heian era 794 1192, AD 794, Japan moved its capital to Heian-kyo, which is now Kyoto, so this section begins with the move of the capital to Heian-kyo, and the Genji samurai group successfully emptied the emperor and established the first shogunate: Kamakura The 400 years when the shogunate ended were designated as the "Heian Era".The Buddhist forces in this era are quite powerful, and the imperial court has to act according to their faces

With a momentum of not caring about anything, Kikutaro cursed and mocked Master Xianyuan.

Pouring all the grief and indignation on Master Xianyuan is the only channel for Kikutaro to vent his emotions at present, and it is also the only way for Kikutaro to fight back against Master Xianyuan.

He mocked, cursed, feared, regretted, puzzled

Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.

Tears flowed drop by drop from the corner of his eyes.

After struggling to yell out the last taunt to Master Xianyuan, he no longer had the strength to yell.

The head drooped, and the consciousness was gradually stripped from the body.

Master Xianyuan has been listening to Kikutaro's venting just now with a blank expression.

After Kikutaro completely lost the strength to shout, Master Xianyuan put the short gun, which was empty of bullets, into the cassock.

At the last moment of his life, the last scene that appeared in front of Kikutaro was the master Xianyuan retracting the short gun, clasping his hands, half closing his eyes, and smiling on both cheeks.

After Master Xianyuan put his palms together, the atmosphere around him seemed to be a little more quiet and sacred.

At this time, the Master Xianyuan did not look like a "capable subordinate who loyally and faithfully worked for Toyotomi".

More like a "devoted saint".

"Yes." The saint said softly, "Of course I know: Even if I succeed in helping Lord Toyotomi ascend to the throne of the people in the world, I may very well be abandoned by Lord Toyotomi because I have exhausted all my bows. "

"But I've made up my mind."

A peaceful and firm smile bloomed on the saint's face.

"Even if Lord Toyotomi will probably abandon me in the future."

"But as long as Master Toyotomi is still alive, I am willing to believe in this young man who gave me hope to realize my ideal."

"As long as the lofty ideal of widespread Buddhism, there is still a slight possibility of realization."

"I would be willing to die for this ideal."

For some reason, Master Xianyuan emphasized the phrase "body smashed to pieces".

Listening to Master Xianyuan's confession in a calm tone, Kikutaro's eyes slowly revealed a faint astonishment.

"Heh" Kikutaro drooped his head with all his remaining strength, and murmured, "You and Toyotomi Nobuhide are both lunatics."

tone fall

patter

Kikutaro tilted his head to the side and bumped against the wall of the ship behind him.

Completely silent.

There is one less person who has witnessed the last end of Shiranui

Nichiki Maru, on the open deck

The voices of Toyotomi's followers chasing Mamiya and Mucun continued to fade away. Ogata was still very relieved about Mamiya and Mucun.

He believed: the two of them will be able to safely withdraw Yuanyi and Lin back to the shore.

On the open deck, there were no companions, and there was no one Toyotomi could hold hostage.

With no hostages to be held by Toyotomi, Ogata was finally able to let go of his hands and feet completely, and launched the fiercest offensive against the monsters in front of him.

After the failure of this trick to hold Yuanichi hostage, Ogata and Toyotomi returned to fierce offense and defense.

Everything is the same as the previous battle.

Ogata, who has the upper hand in both body functions and skills, holds an absolute advantage.

The situation on the battlefield is the same: Ogata attacks and Toyotomi defends.Ogata, who maintained a fierce offensive, beat Toyotomi to the point where he could only focus on defending the head and other key areas.

And the expressions of both of them were the same as before, Ogata, who dared not be careless, with a tense face.But Toyotomi, who was clearly on the verge of defeat, always had a trace of calmness on his cheeks.

After Ogata tricked Toyotomi with Da Zizai, he cut Da Shitian towards Toyotomi's forehead, and Toyotomi tilted his head back in time, only to let Da Shitian's knife cut the flesh of his forehead.

"Hey" Toyotomi grinned slightly, stuck out his scarlet tongue, and licked the blood from the damaged forehead to the corner of his mouth, "I really don't even give me a chance to breathe."

"Ogata Ichitosai, let me guess that the reason why you launched such an urgent offensive against me is because you are afraid that I will eat something that can increase my strength in the gap like when I was fighting Kinoshita Genichi before, yes Bar?"

"Genichi Kinoshita should have told you just now: I survived his killing blow by eating something."

Although Toyotomi was severely pressed and beaten by Ogata, he still had time to speak.

Facing Toyotomi who suddenly accosted him, Ogata ignored him and continued to attack him wave after wave.

Ogata ignored him, and Toyotomi didn't seem to have thought about asking Ogata to talk to him, and continued to defend against Ogata's onslaught while saying in a leisurely manner:

"If you are worried that I will eat something to increase my strength, then don't worry."

"It was my miscalculation. I didn't bring enough meat slices with me. The meat slices were all eaten up during the battle with Kinoshita Genichi just now."

Meat slices?

The word "meat slice" that Toyotomi spit out made Ogata's eyes twitch slightly.

"You and Genichi Kinoshita are in a lot more trouble than I expected."

"I haven't been pushed into such a desperate situation for a long time."

Ogata's blade cut a big gash in Toyotomi's face again, from the corner of his left mouth to the corner of his right eye.

Ogata's blade did not stop or delay the attack on Toyotomi.

The blade swung out continuously, leaving wounds one after another on Toyotomi's body.

But no matter how many horrific wounds he had on his body, Toyotomi still looked normal, and no matter how many wounds Ogata's knife cut on his body, he continued to grin calmly.

Seeing Toyotomi's expression, Ogata involuntarily narrowed his eyes slightly.

There was still a little calm Toyotomi expression on his face, which made Ogata couldn't help thinking like this:

Does he have any other tricks?

Although he wondered in his heart whether Toyotomi had some other tricks to make him have the current look, but apart from continuing to maintain a fierce offensive against Toyotomi, Ogata has nothing else to do .

"Ogata Yidao Zhai."

After listening to Toyotomi dodging a slash from Ogata sideways, he suddenly asked Ogata a question that seemed completely irrelevant to the current battle:

"Do you know what I rely on to have such a huge power at such a young age, and to make so many heroes willing to work hard for me?"

Wuwu Xufang happened to be launching a new round of attacks on Toyotomi at this time.

Da Zizai slashed at Toyotomi from the lower road, and Da Shitian stabbed Toyotomi from the middle gate, with a loud roar.
