I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 485
"It seems that you are no longer confused."
"Because I was inspired by someone."
Guasheng looked at Ogata.
"It doesn't matter whether it's the daimyo of Yifan, or the mighty Shiranui and the Shogunate, that person never backs down in the face of these behemoths."
"I decided to learn his courage."
"Go forward and go straight on the road you want to go."
There was a little surprise in the depths of Ogata's pupils.
After staring straight at Guasheng for a while, Ogata slowly restrained the surprise in the depths of his pupils.
Instead of "surprise", there is a touch of "relief".
"Well said. Guasheng." Ogata, with a little bit of relief in his eyes and face, nodded gently, "When I am fighting in Ezo or other places, you should also work hard."
I will go back to Edo when everything is settled in the future. "
"At that time, you can treat us to something delicious."
"It would be great if it took us to eat at a delicious restaurant that only Edo locals know."
"I will." Gua Sheng laughed, "At that time, you can eat with confidence. I still have a lot of savings."
Hearing Guasheng's joke, Ogata and Guasheng laughed softly at the same time.

Edo, Kitamachi Magistrate's Office
Because Edo implemented the "Yuefan Handover System", Nan and Beicho followed the "month" as a unit and took turns managing Kyoto.
Last month, that is, in October, the Kitamachi Prefectural Office was in charge of managing Edo.
And now it's the month, and the power and responsibility for managing Edo naturally falls to the Nancho Magistrate's office.
But even though the Kitamachi Magistrate's office is idle this month, it doesn't mean that the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office is empty now.
There are still a small number of official servants staying in the Beiding Enforcement Office to prevent outsiders from trespassing on the Enforcement Office.
Converted into the time unit of modern earth, it is almost 23 o'clock now.
In this day and age, it is quite late at night.
On the left and right sides of the gate of the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office, there are two officials holding thorns standing on each side.
Because of the depth of the night, sleepiness surged up uncontrollably, causing the four officials to yawn frequently.
At the same time, because it was late at night, there were no pedestrians on the street in front of the four of them.
Apart from the "whoosh" sound of the night wind blowing, there was no other sound.
This too quiet environment aggravated the sleepiness of the four of them.
Just as they were concentrating on fighting against the sleepiness in their minds and waiting for the time for shift change, a burst of strange music suddenly entered their ears.
The strange music came from the end of the street on their left.
The music is getting louder and louder. The music is approaching the four of them.
The four of them frowned, followed the sound and looked towards the street on the left.
The humidity is heavy tonight, and there is a thin fog everywhere.
A figure slowly emerged from the misty street entrance at an unhurried speed.
After seeing the appearance of this figure clearly, the brows of the four officials frowned even deeper.
The dress of this figure is not unreasonable.
Wearing a deep grass hat that can cover the whole head, this kind of deep grass hat is called "Tian Gai".Both hands are wearing gauntlets, cassocks are hanging around the neck, a pair of dirty white socks are covering the feet, the calf is tied with feet, and there is a knife without a knife hanging on the back of the waist.Holding a shakuhachi in both hands, he played it there.
This person's figure is extremely burly, it should be a male, and he is a particularly strong male.
Seeing this person's strange attire, an official raised his eyebrows, and muttered in a puzzled tone: "Nihing Monk?"
There are quite a few branches of Buddhism in Japan.
Among these many sects, there is a very famous sect: Puhua sect.
People used to call the monks of Puhua sect "the monks of nothingness".
The nihilistic monk can be said to be the most special monk.
The nihilistic monks all wear a deep grass hat called "Tian Gai" that can cover the entire head, and wear gauntlets on both hands. They are not shaved, do not wear monk clothes, and only hang cassocks around their necks.
They spend far more time traveling around than staying in Buddhist temples.
The Void Monk spends most of the year wandering around.
When traveling around, they often carry a musical instrument called "shakuhachi".
While playing the ruler, he wanders aimlessly, and basically lives by begging for food when he travels in the clouds.
The nihilistic monks are special not just because of their weird attire.
They are also special because the shogunate gave them quite a lot of privileges.
Puhua Sect is not a sect that anyone can convert to.
Only the children of the Wu family can convert to Puhua sect.
That is to say, ordinary people cannot enter the Puhua sect and become nihilistic monks.
Because the Puhua sect only accepts the children of the Wu family, every nihilistic monk is a "former warrior".
The shogunate gave two great privileges to the nihilistic monks of Puhuazong.
The first privilege is the right to wield a sword, and every nihilistic monk can wield a sword.
The second privilege is the freedom to travel around Japan without any hindrance.
The reason why the shogunate gave these two privileges to the nihilistic monks is also very simple. The shogunate and the Puhua sect have a cooperative relationship.
Since the birth of Puhua Sect, it has always had the ethos and culture of encouraging its monks to travel around.
So the Edo shogunate simply cooperated with Puhuazong to give them these two privileges, so that they can travel around more conveniently.
Puhuazong only needs to do one thing to repay the shogunate.
That is to act as a secret agent of the shogunate to spy on the movements and people's sentiments of the daimyos.
In other words, many nihilistic monks are actually spies of the Edo shogunate.
Traveling around in the name of practicing, acting as a spy.
The Edo shogunate also specially helped Puhuazong build a new Buddhist temple, Lingfa Temple, which is located in Edo.
This nihilistic monk who suddenly appeared at the intersection of the misty street walked unhurriedly while blowing the ruler in his hand, and walked towards the four officials guarding the gate of the Kitamachi Magistrate.
The strange music heard by the officials came from the shakuhachi in the hands of this nihilistic monk.
Seeing the nihilistic monk slowly walking towards them, the four officials frowned even deeper.
"Stop!" An officer swung the thorn in his hand again and pointed at the nihilistic monk, "If you are here to beg for food, please leave, we don't have any extra food on us right now."
"Leave immediately!"
When the officer pointed the thorn in his hand at the nihilistic monk again, the other 3 officials hurriedly followed, and as if they were facing a big enemy, they swung the thorns in their hands again and pointed them at the ignorant monk again .
There is also a reason why these four officials are so nervous.
The Void Monk's reputation has been getting worse lately.
The reason is that there are many thieves pretending to be nihilistic monks, wandering around in the identity of nihilistic monks, and then committing crimes everywhere.
No one knows whether the nihilistic monk in front of him is a real monk or not.
It was late at night, and there was not even a dog on the street at this time. It was really suspicious how this nihilistic monk suddenly walked towards them while blowing a ruler in such a late night.
When the officer yelled "stop" just now, the nihilistic monk had already stopped in his tracks.
But even though he had stopped, the movement of his hands did not stop.
He stood still and continued to play the shakuhachi in his hand.
Because the nihilistic monk was wearing a "canopy" that could cover his head, the officials couldn't even see the nihilistic monk's face clearly.
"Didn't you hear what we said?" The official just now shouted again in an impatient tone, "Stop bragging! Leave quickly! If you don't leave, we will regard you as a suspicious person! Let you eat for a while Prison food!"
After the officer's words fell, the nihilistic monk finally stopped playing the shakuhachi in his hand.
then
bass!
The sound of a sharp knife unsheathing suddenly exploded.
The Void Monk loosened his hands very quickly, let go of the shakuhachi in his hand, then stretched his hand behind his back, and pulled out the sword without a handle hanging on his waist.
His grip is very strange, not a pronated grip, but an inverted grip.
At the same moment when he pulled out the sword at the back with his backhand, the monk turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the four officials in front of him.
Knife light flickered.
The Wuwu Monk swiped the knife 4 times in a row, spilling 4 handfuls of blood.
After swiping the fourth knife, Wu Wuseng quickly jumped to the distance, avoiding the blood spurting from the bodies of the officials, and at the same time, he swung the knife in his hand towards the ground vigorously, and the blood attached to the blade flowed smoothly. As the blade spilled out, the drops fell on the ground, turning into a dark red arc on the ground.
Snapped.
The shakuhachi fell to the ground.
After the nihilistic monk spilled the blood attached to his blade, the shakuhachi he had loosened just now fell to the ground.
When the nihilistic monk put his knife back into its sheath, a praise sounded from the place where he had just appeared:
"Lou Luo, your skills seem to be getting better."
As soon as this praise fell, a young man slowly emerged from the misty street entrance.
This young man had a handsome face, and he wore a beautiful sword with a purple handle on his waist.
A burly man whose stature was no less than that of the nihilistic monk followed closely behind the young man.
After the young man appeared, the nihilistic monk immediately bowed to salute the young man.
"Master Toyotomi. Thank you for your compliment."
The young man, Toyotomi, smiled, then changed into a somewhat helpless tone and continued:
"But do you have to blow your shakuhachi first every time you kill someone?"
"This is my habit." The nihilistic monk called "Lou Luo" by Toyotomi said in a calm tone, "If I don't play the mourning music I created before killing people, then when I kill people, I will feel Very uncomfortable."
"Forget it, as long as you like it." After finishing speaking, Toyotomi strode towards the gate of the North Prison Office in front of him, "Gao Qing, Lou Luo, come with me, let's give the shogunate a surprise together."
"Yes!" 2
The strong man who appeared with Toyotomi was Gao Qing.
After he and Lou Luo shouted "Yes" in unison, he followed Toyotomi and strode towards the gate of the Kitamachi Prison Office, which was no longer guarded by anyone.
In the comments of the corresponding paragraphs in this chapter, I have posted pictures of Monsuke Haori Hakama, Shiro Mugou, White Cotton Caps, etc. If you are interested, please click to have a look.
Chapter 438 Spend 5 skill points in a row [7000 words]
In addition to the official posts on duty at the gate, there are also some official posts standing guard and patrolling inside the Beiding Magistrate.
The nihilistic monk named "Lou Luo" killed so fast that the four officials standing guard at the gate were beheaded one by one without even a chance to make a sound.
Therefore, the rest of the officials who stayed in the Kitamachi Prison Office did not know that three uninvited guests were gradually approaching them
Bang!
Toyotomi raised his foot directly and kicked open the door of Kitamachi Magistrate's Office.
A loud noise broke the surrounding silence.
The moment Toyotomi kicked open the gate, Lou Luo and Gao Qing, who were standing on the left and right sides of Toyotomi, drew their weapons respectively.
Lou Luo backhanded again and pulled out the unsalted sword hanging from his waist.
Gao Qing pulled out the knife stuck in her left waist.
