I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata could see that among the people who came up to compete with him just now, quite a few of them actually knew that they would lose.

But they still played without hesitation.Only to compete with rare masters.

Most of the 17 people frankly admitted their defeat after the defeat.

Get on the pitch cleanly and get off the pitch fast.

It is really rare that nearly a quarter of the people in a sword gym have such a courageous and open mind.

After Baosheng uttered a few modest words in a row, Chao Ogata asked seriously:

Hearing Ogata's words, Baosheng's face showed an unconcealable joy.

"I admire the level of swordsmanship at your feet." Baosheng said, "Even if it's me, I might not even be able to handle your three moves."

"It's nothing." Ogata also said modestly, "It's absurd."

"If you don't mind, I hope that you can be my dojo's diner for the rest of the month or so, teaching me and my disciples swordsmanship."

After finishing speaking, Baosheng bowed down and bowed to Ogata.

"Diner?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Teach you how to use swordsmanship?"

One of the customs that recruited diners was a common practice in dojos in the Edo period.

Some dojo owners with considerable financial resources will recruit some people with good sword skills to their dojo.

The so-called eaters are a group of people who are usually supported by the master of the dojo, and when the dojo is in need, they have to come forward to serve the dojo.

"Help when you have nothing to do, help when you have something to do, help out when you quarrel, and help when you fight." This sentence is perfect to describe diners.

The reasons for recruiting diners are often strange.

Some are to guard against kickers, raising a group of powerful diners, and when they meet people who come to kick the hall, let the powerful diners play.

Some are to strengthen the power of the sword hall.

And according to what Baosheng said just now, he recruited Ogata as a diner, obviously for another more popular reason, to allow powerful diners to teach the apprentices in the hall.

"To be honest, I have never seen a young talent as strong as this one."

Bao Sheng, who was leaning on the ground, said respectfully.

"It would be a pity to let you, who is so skilled in swordsmanship, leave like this."

"Since you are going to stay here for more than a month, why not come to my sword gym often during this month to teach my disciples."

"I will not treat you badly. If you want, I can provide you with three meals a day and give you a salary."

The fact that Baosheng threw an olive branch at him was indeed beyond Ogata's expectation.

A bit of surprise appeared on his face, and after staring blankly at Baosheng in front of him, Ogata asked back:

"You want to recruit me as a diner? Are you sure?"

"Sure." Baosheng replied without hesitation, "Everything I said just now is not a lie."

"It's rare to meet a swordsman with such high strength, who may be able to improve the swordsmanship of my disciples. It would be a pity not to invite him to teach me a thing or two!"

Looking at Baosheng who was still bowing to the ground in front of him, Ogata pondered.

In fact, it was quite common in the Edo period that this kind of kicker suddenly turned into a swordsman.

Sometimes, some sword gym masters love talents, and they will accept powerful gymnasts as diners.

Therefore, some ronin who don't want to work and just want to eat and drink, in order to become diners and rely on a certain dojo, will kick around, hoping that Bole will accept him.

But the kind of gymnast who beat all your disciples, but is still willing to accept the other party as a diner, and ask the other party to guide his disciples in the future, is relatively rare.

"Your heart is really admirable." Ogata showed a faint smile, "Facing this servant who came to ask for advice and defeated the 17 disciples of your hall, not only did he not get angry at all, but he also invited me to become a diner of your hall. "

Ogata somewhat understands why the apprentices of this Baosheng Sword Gym are so full of vigor and vitality, and are so neither humble nor overbearing. What kind of master there is, what kind of ethos the sword gym will have.

"Okay then." Ogata nodded vigorously, "For the rest of the month or so, I will ask your library for your advice."

What do you mean when you doze off, here comes the pillow.

Just as Ogata was worried about how to earn experience points in the remaining month or so, Baosheng invited him to come to his sword gym as a diner.

As long as you become their diner, you can go to the Baosheng Sword Gym openly and aboveboard, and then "beat" the apprentices of the Sword Gym openly and aboveboard, and then receive a large amount of experience points openly and aboveboard.

Ogata naturally has no reason to refuse such a win-win situation.

"Then" Baosheng's face showed an undisguised joy, "I will have enough work in the future."

After finishing speaking, Baosheng bowed to Ogata again, and Ogata respectfully returned the salute.

at the same time

In a certain village a little far from Nishinocho.

In a certain house in the village, a dozen or so men gathered.

They were of different ages. The man sitting in the middle of them was the oldest, with more than half of his hair gray. He was estimated to be between 50 and 60 years old. This old man was the head of the village.

Whether it's the village chief or the other men gathered in this house, they all have sad and heavy faces.

"Village chief, what should we do now?" A middle-aged man closest to the village chief said in a deep voice, "I have gone to the government many times, and the government completely ignored us."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the rest of the people present showed expressions of grief and indignation.

Some people even gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, as if they wanted to find someone to fight immediately.

Only the village chief had a calm face, as if he had expected such a situation to happen a long time ago.

The village chief who kept a calm appearance said abruptly:

"Go get the samurai."

"Samurai please?" The middle-aged man just now exclaimed.

Everyone focused their puzzled and shocked eyes on the village head.

"That's the only way to do it." The village head let out a long sigh, "The government is unable to rescue us, so we can only ask the warriors to rescue us."

"The life of the samurai is not easy now."

"As long as we can pay a certain amount, there should be people who are not going well and who are skilled enough to help."

"What do we bring to invite the warriors?" It was the middle-aged man again, with a sad expression on his face, "There is nothing in the village."

"And what if we invite a pack of wolves to fight off the bear?"

"I can only gamble." The village head sighed again.

Chapter 448 "One-Sword Samurai" Ogata Yishi and Bear Hunting 【8500 words】

After promising Baosheng that he would be a diner of their sword gym for the remaining month or so, Ogata's remaining days became more regular.

In the morning, I went to Yuan Tachibana House to finish his kabuki script with Jiro Nishino.

In the afternoon, Nishino Erlang went to help the family, and Ogata went to the Baosheng Sword Gym to gain experience. No, he pointed to the apprentices of the Hosho Sword Gym, and along the way, he gained experience.

In addition to teaching Katori Shinto-style swordsmanship, Baosheng Kenkan also teaches Katori Shinto-style jujitsu.

Therefore, the apprentices of Baosheng Sword Academy can be regarded as both swordsmanship and jujitsu.

Some apprentices majored in fencing, and some apprentices majored in jujitsu.

Therefore, in addition to teaching them swordsmanship, Ogata also taught them jujitsu by the way.

Although Ogata is not very good at preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts, it is more than enough to teach them some of the experience he has learned and accumulated in fighting the enemy one after another.

This kind of teaching of fighting experience cannot be done by mouth.

It would be better to say that swordsmanship is a skill that cannot be mastered by oral instruction.

The best way to pass on the actual combat experience you have accumulated is undoubtedly through actual combat.

Through actual combat, the apprentices of Baosheng Sword Academy can personally understand and learn the experience of fighting to the death, which is very precious in peaceful times.

While imparting his own experience against the enemy through actual combat, Ogata can also earn a lot of experience by relying on this field of battles with the apprentices.

Although the strength of everyone in the Baosheng Sword Gym is not very good, the experience points that can be obtained after each battle are not much

The one with the weakest strength, after Ogata defeated him, he only gained 10 experience points in the experience bar of his personal level.

But fortunately, there are enough apprentices in Baosheng Sword Academy.

With this considerable amount as a base, Ogata's various experience bars are steadily increasing.

And the owner of the Baosheng Sword Gym not only has a broad mind enough to invite Ogata, a kicker, to be the swordsmanship instructor of the sword gym, but also has a humble heart.

These days, the owner of the Hosho Pavilion often accepts Ogata's guidance with an open mind.

The owner's modesty and receptivity also led the apprentices in the museum to ask Ogata for advice more actively.

Even the owner of the museum is so humble, and at such an advanced age, he is still not ashamed to ask, how can we students lag behind the master?

This is the voice of many students in the library.

In the process of teaching the swordsmanship of the masters and apprentices of the Baosheng Sword Gym, Ogata unknowingly got the nickname "One Sword Samurai".

This nickname was given to him by the apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym.

Because no matter who Ogata fights with, he always kills him instantly.

No one can take Ogata's knife, and no one can dodge Ogata's knife. Even their masters can't stop or dodge Ogata's knife.

On the first day after Ogata officially became a diner of their Hosho Sword Gym, the owner of the Hosho Gym also asked Ogata for advice because of his itchy hands.

And his result was killed by Ogata in a single blow just like his apprentices.

Gradually, the apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym began to call Ogata "One Sword Samurai".

Baosheng Jianguan will be closed after dark.

Therefore, after dark, Ogata would leave the sword gym, return to the hotel and start learning "Einu language" with A-Machi.

Before leaving Edo, Ogata bought a copy of "Teaching Common Phrases in Ezo" at a very low price from the owner of the Hokazeya where Kondo was working part-time.

Some time ago, because I was busy on the road, I didn't have much time to study.

Therefore, Ogata and A-machi planned to study the common language of Ezo while living in Nishino-cho temporarily.

After learning the language of Ezo, it may be of some unexpected use after arriving in Ezo.

After studying late at night, Oven will start to do what he will do with A-cho every day after his body's injuries are almost healed.

Ogata is 21 years old this year, and Machi is 18 years old this year.

They are all at the age of "eat the marrow to know the taste" and will be hungry.

The two explore each other's physical limits every day.

Whether it is day or night, he is practicing sword. Using this sentence to describe Ogata's life in the past few days is perfect.

Kanjeong 11nd Year, November 29, night

As a town with a population of nearly 10, Nishino Town naturally has no shortage of bathhouses.

In the cities and towns of the Edo period, only those big families had bathrooms in their homes.

Middle and lower-level samurai and ordinary people in the city generally do not have a bathroom in their homes. If they want to take a bath, they have to take a bath in the large bathhouse in the city.

Therefore, the large bathhouse is one of the most essential facilities in every town.

The inn where Ogata and Acho stayed did not provide bathroom services, which made Ogata very regretful.

But there is a bathhouse not far from the hotel.

These days, both Amachi and Amachi bathe in this public bath.

After going to the wild and smoky place like Ezo, there may be no chance to take a bath again.

That's why Ogata and A-Machi have taken a shower very frequently recently, and they want to take a shower more comfortably while they still have the conditions.

Tonight, after dinner, Ogata and A-Machi came to this bathhouse to take a bath again as usual.

Since Sadanobu Matsudaira, who was determined to revitalize the shogunate, took office as a senior middle school, he has carried out reforms to varying degrees in many fields such as economy and culture.

In terms of people's livelihood, Matsudaira Sadanobu also issued many reform orders.

For example, Matsudaira Sadanobu restructured bathhouses across the country.

In the past, many bathhouses were mixed baths for men and women, regardless of men's and women's baths.

So at that time, the happiest time of the day for many old color critics was when they went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
