I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 300
Having said that, Ogata paused.
Then with a complicated expression, he said quietly:
"Gamiya's ability to learn is really strong... Now if you invite any outsider to see me and Jiangong's massage techniques, they will definitely think that I am the apprentice, and Jiangong is the master..."
"Gamiya's learning ability is very strong, and his comprehension is extremely high." Asai looked away from looking for Mamiya's figure, "He learns everything very quickly, which is why he has so many skills."
"...Speaking of which—I've always been curious."
Ogata, whose gaze was still fixed on the sea in front of him, suddenly asked Asai.
"Asai, I can understand that you use honorifics to Ms. Kinoshita and Genichi, but why do you use honorifics when you face Mamiya? Is it because he is the old man of your gourd house? ?”
"It's not because Mamiya is an old man in our gourd house that I use honorifics to him."
Perhaps it was because he was really busy right now, and Asai, who was usually taciturn, introduced to Ogata in quite detailed terms the reason why he used honorifics to Gamiya.
"I only respect those who are better at swordsmanship than me."
"In terms of swordsmanship, in the entire gourd house, only the lord, Mr. Yuan, and Mamiya can easily defeat me."
"I admire Gamiya's superb swordsmanship and many skills, so I respect him very much, so I will say honorific words to him, it's as simple as that."
After hearing the words "he has so many skills" from Asai's mouth, Ogata smiled knowingly.
"What did Mamiya do before?" Ogata asked casually, "It seems that he has been to many places...was he also a wandering wanderer before?"
The voice of Ogata's question fell.
Mucun and Asai fell into a long silence.
The somewhat too long silence between the two made Ogata frowned slightly involuntarily.
Just when Ogata was about to ask why the two were silent suddenly, Mucun suddenly said in a deep voice:
"……do not know."
"...huh?" Ogata tilted his head.
Asai continued Mucun's words and said:
"Except for the fact that the lord may know what Jian Gong used to do, none of us know where and what Jian Gong was doing before he joined the Calabash House."
"We have also asked Gamiya himself this question, but Gamiya always perfunctory and fooled this question, and never answered our question directly."
"When I asked the lord, the lord kept secret about the past of the palace."
"Don't say it's Mamiya's past." Just as Asai finished speaking, Mucun shrugged, "We don't even know where Mamiya came from, what kind of swordsmanship he used, and how strong he is."
"Gamiya doesn't have any accent when he speaks, and he can't even tell where he is from based on his accent, and he never says where he is from."
"Not only does Mamiya never talk about his past, he never reveals what kind of swordsmanship he uses."
"All we know is that Gamiya is very good at drawing swords."
"From the time I joined the Gourd House to now, I have never seen Gamiya go all out... Ah, no, or I have never seen any enemy successfully force out Gamiya's full power."
"The few of us have never seen Gamiya go all out against the enemy."
Ogata has been quietly listening to the big words of the two.
After hearing Mucun's words, Ogata suddenly realized that he himself didn't seem to have seen Gamiya go all out to fight against the enemy.
In every Gamiya battle that Ogata has witnessed so far, Gamiya has always looked calm and composed.
Even when the battle was fought in the narrow corridor with the elite of the shogunate army in Butterfly Island, after the battle, Mamiya was still in a state of ease, and there were almost no injuries left on his body.
"...I guess the work Mamiya did before he followed the lord and joined the gourd house must not be very glorious... The work Mamiya did before may be related to murder." Asai said suddenly and coldly .
"It's related to murder?" Ogata cast a puzzled look at Asai, "Why do you say that?"
"Asai, are you going to tell Brother Ogata the old story of 'the old monk was paralyzed by fright'?" Mucun asked with a touch of helplessness in his rhetorical question.
"This story is not a secret, everyone in our Calabash House knows it." Asai said, "It's okay to tell Yidao Zhai."
"Did anything happen in Mamiya before that made you suspect that his previous work was related to murder?" Ogata asked Asai.
"This happened a long time ago." Asai said in a low voice, "One time, Mamiya and I went out of town due to some things and passed a temple."
"There lived a very old monk in that temple."
"It was late at that time, and Jiangong and I planned to spend the night in this temple."
"I was the one who went to negotiate with the old monk if he could borrow a corner in the temple for us to rest for a night."
"The old monk was very talkative, and after I made this request for staying overnight, he readily agreed."
"However... I led Jiangong who was waiting outside the temple into the temple. After the old monk saw Jiangong... the old monk's expression at that time is really hard to describe in words."
"There was no blood on his face, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground paralyzed... In short, he looked like he saw a ghost."
"The old monk sat slumped on the ground, backed away from the palace with his arms and legs, and shouted something, 'I have never seen such a serious murderer'."
"No matter what you say, you will not leave a palace in the temple."
"We have no choice but to leave that temple."
"When leaving that temple, the old monk also advised Jiangong to study Buddhism and do good deeds for the rest of his life, so as to wash away his accumulated murder and the resentment of the dead."
"It was also at that time that I began to suspect that what Gamiya did before might not be a very glorious job..."
"If the work that Mamiya did before was really related to murder...then the number of people he killed before must be quite a lot..."
"The body's murder is so serious that it can make a monk paralyzed to the ground... How many people have to be killed..."
As soon as Asai finished speaking, Mucun chuckled a few times:
"The monk may be talking nonsense."
"These monks like to talk nonsense."
"When I was in Kyoto before, I met a monk who said that I have a noble minister, and I will definitely become a big man like Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the future."
As soon as Mucun finished speaking, Asai shook his head:
"You were not there at the time, and you did not see the monk's appearance and expression at that time."
"If you were there at that time and saw how frightening the frightened expression on the monk's face was, you wouldn't think that the monk seemed to be talking nonsense." Asai said sternly.
"Master Gen, don't you know what Mamiya used to do?" Ogata asked.
"Well, I don't know."
As soon as Ogata's words fell, Genichi's voice came from the stern of the boat.
Ogata, Mucun, and Asai all turned their heads to look at Genichi who had been sitting at the stern drinking "oolong tea".
"Master Yuan." Mu Cun said, "So you have been listening to our conversation just now."
"Although I am not young, my ears can still work. And this boat is not so big that the sound from the bow cannot be heard from the stern."
After raising the wine glass in his hand and taking another sip of "oolong tea", Yuan Yi said slowly:
"I've never been very interested in other people's past, so I never asked Gamiya what he did before he joined Calabash House."
"Only Xiaolin knows about the past of the palace."
"but--"
Speaking of this, several meaningful lights flashed in Yuan Yi's eyes.
"Although I don't know Gamiya's past. But I can roughly guess what Gamiya's previous occupation might be from the sword skills Gamiya used."
"Is there any problem with the sword technique used by Mamiya?" Asai, who had always been expressionless, also had a bit of curiosity flashing in his eyes at this moment.
"You young people don't have enough experience, so you can't see any difference between the swordsmanship used by Gamiya and ordinary swordsmanship."
"The swordsmanship used by Gamiya uses the words 'fast', 'accurate', and 'ruthless' to the extreme."
"Furthermore, when Gamiya slashes people with a knife, he always subconsciously slashes at some special parts of the human body."
"In the whole world...there is a certain kind of person who is best at using this type of swordsmanship..."
"What kind of person?" Mucun asked anxiously.
"Well... I won't tell you guys." Yuan Yi shrugged, "Whether Mamiya was that kind of person before, I'm just guessing. I'm not sure myself."
"Besides, since Jiangong never told you what he used to do, Xiaolin also keeps secrets about Jiangong's past. It means that Jiangong doesn't want his companions to know his past."
"So we respect Jian Gong's choice, and don't inquire about Jian Gong's past."
After all, Yuanyi took another sip of the "oolong tea" in the cup.
"...Master Yuan is right." Asai sighed softly, "Since Mamiya doesn't want to talk about his past, then we won't ask any more questions, let's stop this topic here... let's talk Something more interesting."
Both Ogata and Mucun nodded in agreement.
The three turned their eyes to the sea ahead again.
Looking at the sea, after a long silence——
"Do you want to go swimming?" Mucun asked.
"No, there is no place to take a bath here, I don't want to get dirty sea water all over my body." Asai shook his head.
"And the waves here are high, not a good place for swimming." Ogata added.
"That's right." Mucun nodded.
"Why does this conversation feel so familiar..." Ogata murmured with a few black lines appearing on his face.
Chapter 351 [Goro Mashima] and [Kazuma Kiryu]
"4, 6,, 0"
In the big room where Ogata and his group of men rested, there were only Ogata people at this time.
Today is the 6th day of sailing.
Ogata, who stayed alone in the room, leaned against the corner of the room, spread all the money left in his purse on the floor, and counted how much money he had left.
After counting the total amount of funds left at present, Ogata silently put the money back into the purse, and then said softly in a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"I have to figure out a way to make some money later."
Since he left the Hirose clan at the end of last year and became a rogue from the clan until now, Ogata has been using the money given to him by the old Kura Yong from the Hirose clan at that time.
The thick purse that Kurangaga gave to Ogata back then was parted from Ogata twice.
The first time it was stolen by a certain Yakuza when I was in Tatsuno Domain.
The second time was confiscated by Hasegawa when he was escorted to Butterfly Island.
Fortunately, after two separations, the money bag finally returned to Ogata's hands.
When he was escorted to Butterfly Island, Hasegawa returned Ogata's money bag to Ogata through the hands of the soldiers responsible for sending Ogata to the island.
In order to compensate Ogata, who had to leave the feudal domain due to the beheading of Matsudaira Gennai, Kuranaga was quite generous, and the amount of money contained in the purse presented to Ogata was frighteningly large.
After counting his remaining money just now, according to Ogata's estimation, even under the current situation that he has already spent a lot of money, the money left now is enough for him to spend nearly 0 years alone time.
Although he still has a lot of money left, Ogata still has a sense of crisis in the money issue at this time.
There is no other reason, he now has an extra Ating by his side.
Although A-Ming had some money with her when she defected to Shiranui, she didn't have much money at all.
With the addition of A-Ming who needs to be taken care of, the amount of money, which was originally quite considerable, immediately seemed not so much.
The reason why Ogata stayed in the ship's room at this time was just to find a clean place to count and organize his purse.
After putting away the purse again, Ogata, who was no longer in the empty room, stood up and walked out of the room.
After leaving the room and going up to the deck, Xu Fang saw the people who were doing various things on the deck at this time.
Seasick Lin and A-Ming still stayed in their room to rest.
Yuanyi, as usual, sat in the stern of the boat drinking some wine and blowing the sea breeze.
Mamiya was fiddling with and adjusting the position of the sail.
Makimura, Asai, and Shimada were sitting on the bow of the boat and talking about something.
Ogata walked towards the bow of the boat where Mucun and the others were, and the three Mucun people who noticed Ogata coming out of the cabin also turned their heads following the sound.
"How?" Mucun Chao Ogata asked, "Did you sleep comfortably?"
"Yeah. It's okay." Ogata lied casually.
