I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

……

……

bear...bear...bear...

pop... pop... pop...

The tongue of fire licked the firewood, making the sound of burning? And the sound of sparks bursting.

Along with the sound of burning flames, there was also the sound of A-Ming's splashing water.

The bathroom at Tenmanji Temple is a boxy log cabin.

Inside the cabin is a tub big enough for one person to sit in.

There are small windows for ventilation on one side of the wooden house.

Once the small window for ventilation and the door of the bathroom are closed, people outside the bathroom will not be able to see what is inside the bathroom.

The xiaoshuting that book lovers used before has been suspended, and now they are basically using \mi\mi\reading\app \mimiread\.

Below the tub is a stove.

The burner for the stove is outside the bathroom.

When you want to take a hot bath? You just need to light the stove, and then let people outside the bathroom continue to add firewood to the stove through the stove.

Now, Ah-machi is comfortably taking a hot bath in this bathroom, while Ogata is adding firewood to the stove outside the bathroom.

At this time, Ogata had already changed out of his strange-smelling clothes? He had changed into the monk clothes provided by Zonghai.

There seems to be only monk clothes here at Tenmanji Temple, so Ogata can only make do with it.

After sending the broken firewood into the stove, Ogata took the bamboo tube for blowing air next to him and blew into the stove.

After making the flame in the stove burn hotter, Ogata raised his head and asked A-Machi in the bathroom:

"Machi! How's the water temperature?"

"Just right!"

A-Ming's voice fell? Then there were bursts of water splashing, and A-Ming's groaning.

"It's so comfortable...it feels like my whole body is going to melt away..."

After letting out another comfortable moan? A-Machi suddenly said to Ogata in a joking tone:

"Ayi? The water temperature is just right now, do you want to come in and wash with me?"

"Okay! I'll come in now!"

Say it? Ogata began to undress, and deliberately made the sound of undressing loud.

"Wait, wait!" Amachi's anxious voice sounded from the bathroom? "I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Don't come in!"

"I was just joking just now." Ogata said, putting back on the clothes he had just taken off halfway. "Next time make such a silly joke with me? I really have to rush in."

"Yes..." Ah-Machi's dissatisfied murmur came from the bathroom? "Hmm...? Do I smell the smell of rice?"

"That's Zong Hai and the others who are preparing dinner for today." Ogata replied.

"...Ayi, do you think Zonghai and the others are worth confiding in?" A-Ming suddenly lowered his voice and asked Ogata.

"We've just met him not long ago, who knows whether he's worth confiding in our hearts." Ogata said softly, "In short——he has a lot of information about that Xianhai, which is beyond doubt. Not only can we Ask them where there is a boat to go to sea, and ask them about ogres as well."

Chapter 189 Cannibals

After A-Machi and Ogata took turns taking showers and changing into the clean monk clothes provided by Sokai, it happened that it was almost evening.

And Zong Hai and the others are about to prepare dinner for tonight.

Neither Ogata nor Atachi have studied Buddhism, so they don't know what kind of Buddha is enshrined in the Buddhist hall of Tenmanji Temple.

The back of the Buddhist hall is connected to the back hall.

The back hall is where Zong Hai and Xian Hai usually live.

On the east side of the Buddhist hall is a vegetable field.

The well of Tenmanji Temple is located next to this vegetable field.

On the west side is a small ancestral hall with a closed gate. I don't know what is enshrined in it.

Ogata and A-Machi are now kneeling in a small room in the back hall.

In front of the two of them was an iron pan that was being scorched by flames and steaming continuously.

There is delicious vegetable porridge boiled in the pot.

On the other side of the iron pot are Sokai, Kenkai and Ogata, who are sitting opposite Ogata and Atachi.

Zong Hai looked at the vegetable porridge in the pot, and after confirming that it was cooked, he extinguished the flame under the iron pot, and then smiled at Ogata and Atachi:

"Two benefactors, please have a meal."

Since coming to Tenmanji, Ogata and A-Machi have always maintained an extremely cautious attitude.

When drinking water from the well in Tenmanji Temple, first check whether there is any problem with the bucket and the well water.

While taking a bath in the bathroom, they checked to see if there was anything unusual about the tub and the robes Zong Hai provided them.

Ogata and Atachi also dared not be careless about the meals that Zonghai provided them.

The two of them didn't use the bowls provided by Zong Hai and the others to serve porridge, but used the bamboo tubes they saw in that village today to make ends meet.

These bamboo tubes have been cleaned with well water from Tenmanji Temple.

After filling Zonghai and the others' porridge in a bamboo tube, Ogata and the others were not in a hurry to eat it, but they dared to eat it with confidence after seeing Zonghai and Xianhai eating their porridge first.

The two of them naturally did not dare to use the chopsticks provided by Zong Hai and the others, but because they ate porridge, they could still eat without chopsticks.

Zonghai and Xianhai seemed to understand Ogata's behavior of not using their bowls and chopsticks, and dared to eat after seeing them drink the pot of porridge.

Zong Hai and the others, who understood Ogata's behavior very well, didn't say anything, and let Ogata and the others do their own way.

After pouring a few mouthfuls of warm porridge into his mouth, Zonghai smiled slightly at Ogata and Atachi:

"You two, you can slowly ask us questions now. We eat and chat, and Xianhai and I will know everything that can be answered."

As soon as Zonghai's voice fell, Ah-cho asked quickly:

"Please tell me what happened to this island? How did those ogres come here? Can they really eat people?"

A-cho asked three questions in a row.

Acho was ordered by the leader of Shiranui to come to see the true face of the "ogre".

So she cared more about those ogres than Ogata.

Zong Hai did not show any signs of impatience for the three questions that A-Ming asked in one go. After filling his mouth with another mouthful of porridge, he said calmly:

"I don't know how these Rakshasa, the ogre you call them, came from."

"In order to make it easier for you to listen to my narration, I will change the name of those monsters to what you commonly call them ogres."

"About 2 years ago, ogres suddenly appeared."

"The first ogre appeared in Fengji Village."

"It is a very common thing for an old man in Fengji Village to die in his bed."

"However, a very unusual thing happened to this old man"

"He should have been out of breath, but he stood up again after a few breaths."

"He was resurrected under the eyes of everyone, his pupils turned purple."

"Then started attacking people around me like crazy."

"You mean to say," Ah-Ming hesitated, "that old man became a cannibal after he came back from the dead?"

"That's right." Zong Hai nodded, "The two of you have encountered ogres today, and you should already know some characteristics of ogres."

"Ogre has no expression or language."

"They're always deadpan and silent."

"They can't kill them no matter what, and they are tireless. They will frantically attack all living people within the range of vision."

"Fortunately, they will only attack living people, and will not attack other living things other than living people."

"And the animals on this island just die normally after they die, and they won't come back from the dead and become unkillable animals."

"Though you outlanders call them cannibals, they don't really eat people."

"They will only use their teeth, fingers, and feet to frantically attack living creatures within the range of vision, and they will not stop until the living creature dies."

Hearing this, Ogata and A-Machi couldn't help recalling the corpses covered with teeth marks and scratches that they saw in that village today.

"Because the old man who has turned into a cannibal cannot be killed, the villagers of Fengji Village can only seal him up with fishing nets."

"Unfortunately, this is just the beginning."

"Since this incident, the villagers of all the villages on this island will be resurrected as long as they die."

"And after resurrection, it will become a cannibal."

"But that's not the worst part."

"The most terrifying thing is that the villagers discovered afterwards: not only the dead will be resurrected and become ogres."

"Even the living can become ogres."

"The process of a living person becoming a cannibal is even more weird."

"The harbinger of a living person turning into a cannibal is vomiting madly."

"Many people were fine one moment, and then suddenly began to vomit violently the next moment."

"After vomiting until the bile was almost exhausted, his eyes turned purple, and then he became a cannibal."

"Can even a living person become a cannibal?" Ah-Ming felt a little chill in his heart.

"I don't understand why everyone becomes an ogre. I don't know how to kill an ogre." Zong Hai continued, "Sprinkling salt, dismembering corpses, burning them, and attacking them with fired weapons. In short, the islanders They tried everything they could think of and couldn't kill a single ogre."

"The villagers are gradually losing control of the surge in the number of ogres."

"Thus, those who are still alive have no choice but to notify the government and seek help from the government."

"The government also attaches great importance to this matter."

"Immediately sent a large number of troops to the island to exterminate the cannibals."

"However, the army sent by the government was defeated as expected."

"Even the army is helpless in the face of unkillable monsters."

"The army that can't do anything about the ogres has withdrawn from Butterfly Island."

"When evacuating the island, the people in the government did something quite heartless."

A wry smile appeared on Zong Hai's face at this moment.

"When withdrawing from the island, the people of the government destroyed all the ships and shipbuilding tools on the island."

"At the same time, there is no intention of bringing everyone on the island to the mainland."

"Thus destroyed all the islanders' boats, and then abandoned the islanders on this island."

"People from the government destroyed all the ships on this island?!" Ogata, who had been listening quietly since just now, widened his eyes.

"That's right." Zong Hai nodded, "The people in the government probably think that the reason why the people on this island become cannibals is because they are infected with a special disease."

"So in order to prevent the spread of the disease, it was decided not to allow any islander on the island to leave the island."

Chapter 190 Immortal Poison

"Because they were abandoned by the shogunate, everyone on the island can only save themselves."

"About a year ago, at the call of the head of Fenghe Village, Kinnosuke, villagers from other villages fled to Fenghe Village with their families."

"Then with the concerted efforts of everyone, a wooden wall was built outside Fenghe Village."

"Keep all the ogres out of the wall."

"The islanders who are still alive are all living inside this wooden wall."

"Since the wooden wall was built, I haven't seen the villagers again, so I don't know what happened to the villagers who are still alive."
